In case anyone else finds this interesting, the DOD has night vision goggles which have nearly-zero latency (all analog), amplify much better than digital cameras, and emit very little external light (hard to spot by adversaries).
Show us a link to a Facebook advertising API which can give me bidstream data which includes a user's demographic info? The links describe "Modern programmatic advertising" including "Patternz" but have not shown that Facebook is an implementor.
For the record every time I have advertised on both Google and Facebook, it works in reverse: I give them my ad, audience info, and how much I'm willing to bid, and they run an auction per impression (of which I don't get to participate in knowing the details directly). I get no user data, only the bill. If I did get user data (presumably with user consent) I would start my own direct-marketing mailing or email list and stop paying the ad-tech companies each time (who act as gate-keepers).
If you are going to permit "increased healthcare cost to a taxpayer-funded health system" as a line of reasoning, then you allow for a lot of absurd outcomes, like the government could forbid risky sports. This is not an "appeal to extremes" or a strawman argument, it's actually a valid reductio ad absurdum.
Opponents of public health care in the U.S. use precisely this as an argument: They say, if we're going to have taxpayer-funded health care, it gives the government a reason to start regulating aspects of our lives which we don't want any government to regulate.
There are only two ways out of that that I can see: The first is to agree with them and say: If we want to be a free people, we can't have taxpayer-funded healthcare.
The second (which I personally subscribe to), is to say that there's some kind of a "bar" that has to be met, and that "increased healthcare costs to the taxpayer" doesn't meet the bar of how much your freedoms need to be impeded by my actions, before it starts to justify government taking away my freedoms.
Surprisingly similar to the results of humans in split brain studies, the brain seems to provide and accept pretty nonsensical explanations for behavior.
One interesting way I heard to around this is by mixing human languages in the prompt which probably never appear together in any training data, and seeing that chat gpt can do still output sensible replies. That seems to imply that something unique is happening beyond token lookup, if it’s taking different languages and mapping that to the underlying information, that looks a lot more like what people call “understanding”.
Read only is a good case, afaik one of the usecases of flatbuffers is that you can mmap a huge flatbuffer file and then randomly access the data quickly without paying a huge deserialization cost.
I'm not a finance guy, but from what I've heard, much of this is driven by the risk-free rate of return going up due to interest rate hikes. As the risk-free rate increases, business performance has to change on two fronts:
1. The value of dollars today / next year increase while the value of dollars in 5-10 years decreases, incentivizing less R&D and preferring short term operations (and cutting staff)
2. Profitability needs to increase overall in order to make sense owning stock vs a guaranteed return from the government, otherwise the risk of holding a stock doesn't make sense.
Basically the opposite of what happened when interest rates dropped, where "cash is trash" became the mantra.
So it is driven by investors, but it doesn't require any broad coordination, only shared beliefs and self interest.
From what I heard early GoPro cameras were designed in China as well, they were off the shelf devices rebranded. Only later did GoPro start doing in house camera design.
This veritasium video at 12:00 shows how these goggles work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAeJHAFjwPM
That said I wouldn't be surprised if someone in the DOD was buying them for general tech exploration though.
