It's a mixture of private and public. For instance anybody can create an infinite number of wallets and cycle transactions through those wallets infinitely, subject to time and/or transfer fees. And wallets are the only stored identifier - it doesn't lead to e.g. an IP or whatever, and even if it did - those could also be endlessly proxied. On top of this there are 'tumblers' that do this as a service.

So while it's completely traceable in theory, in practice it's vaguely akin to trying to track money by the serial numbers in that you can probably figure out a few points in a dollar's lifetime, but tracing it point by point to a specific entity is generally not realistic. Of course most criminals are stupid and doing something like using CoinBase hosted crypto to try to do something illicit is as good as leaving your license and phone number at the scene of a crime.

Maybe until the model outputs some affirming preamble, it’s still somewhat probable that it might disagree with the user’s request? So the agreement fluff is kind of like it making the decision to heed the request. Especially if we the consider tokens as the medium by which the model “thinks”. Not to anthropomorphize the damn things too much.

Also I wonder if it could be a side effect of all the supposed alignment efforts that go into training. If you train in a bunch of negative reinforcement samples where the model says something like “sorry I can’t do that” maybe it pushes the model to say things like “sure I’ll do that” in positive cases too?

Even if a deep thinking LLM like Opus can get some math questions right when that depends on identifying the type of problem and applying a learned procedure, it's not going to be able to evaluate the pedagogy of math books it's never encountered, or at most was fringe material in its training set.

I'm also referring to the faster models, not the slow and expensive deep thinking ones which I have little experience with. I don't see how reasoning would enable deep thinking models to meaningfully evaluate textbook pedagogy, either.

Open-source projects maintained by individual developers working for free absolutely deserve more respect than that, but ones maintained by the most profitable company in the world [1] do not, especially when they go out of their way to change from doing the right thing to doing the wrong thing [2].

nightmares (if anything went wrong i had to blow helm stuff away and start over) ontop of nightmares (kubernetes when i was trying it was tons of namespaces called beta, then you never knew what to update to or when you had to update, or what was incompatible) ontop of the realization that no one should be using kubernetes unless you have over 50 servers running many hundreds of services. Otherwise its just a million times simpler using docker compose

I just built one of these as well. For your Xbox controller, see if this works: find any Windows PC and download the Xbox Accessories app. Connect the controller (via USB) and update its firmware. Once I did this, I was able to pair it with the framework desktop via bluetooth (under linux) reliably, and it's been rock solid ever since. Apparently some of the models shipped with buggy firmware that linux really doesn't like for whatever reason.

Also, at some point the Blackwell-generation DGX Station is supposed to ship with 768 GB of unified memory. It will presumably come with a high five-figure price tag, and it should be able to run most open-source models with little need to trade off quality for speed.

Trouble is, there's not even much hype surrounding the launch yet, much less shipping hardware. Which seems kind of ominous.

I am sort of in your boat in seeing what may come. There are a few very rare conditions but the benefits seem to out weigh (ha, I will take the pun!) The down sides.

While it might mean the incident rare of some things goes up, those that it reduces are far more impactful and where far more likely to have mortality issues. Sort of like how Chemotherapy is poisonous but potential has better long term odds, only chemo is far more extreme than GPL1.

Time will tell but so far it is looking kind of good with a few lesser issues.

One of the main differences from Linux is BSD's separation between the base system and installed applications.

On Ubuntu, Arch, Mint, etc. there is no such distinction. Everything is made of packages, including the base system. You have packages for the kernel, the init system, logging, networking, firmware, etc. These are all versioned independently and whether or not they are considered "essential" is up to the user to decide.

On BSD, the base system is not composed of packages. It is a separate thing, with the kernel, libc, command line utilities all tightly coupled and versioned together. This allows the components to evolve together, with breaking ABI changes that would not be practical in Linux. This makes BSD better for research, which is why things like IPv6, address space randomization, SSH, jails, capabilities were developed there.

Packages are used for applications and are isolated to /usr/local. Dependency and compatibility problems only exist for packages. The base system is always there, always bootable, and you can count on being able to log in to a command line session and use the standard suite of tools. It is sort of like a Linux rescue image, except you boot off it every time.

Yep! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D733JFML?th=1

The one I ordered had 32 gigs of memory; this was more than a year ago so I'm sure there are better ones now, but I have to say that I feel like this thing "punches above its weight" in that it does seem to run a lot more stuff than I thought it would at a decent framerate.

This system won't run FIFA, GTA Online, Battlefield, Valorant or CoD, it's a nonstarter for many.

Sure you don't need to subscribe to PS+, but that's somewhat easier to swallow since PS+ gives you games with the subscription.

I'm still interested in this for playing older games but I have a Steam Deck and it still isn't remotely as seamless as my Switch or PS5.

The definition of compiler i learned was “takes some code, translate it to semantically equivalent code in a different language (which might be machine language, bytecode…)”. This is also used in PLaI, a respected learning resource: https://www.plai.org/

I think this is a pretty acceptable definition, and yes, it does make the term transpiler a little useless.

Salk developed his vaccine in 1952 and licensed in 1955. That's 3 years of staged testing over some millions of kids and adults.

Covid vaccines were tested on tens of thousands in 8-10 months.

As I said, MMR components were 5-8 years tested and then mass-deployed by the time of combination.

Mandates didn't come until the late 60s/70s for either MMR or Polio vaccines, therefore decades.

All that dealing with much higher (by YLL/DALY) impact than Covid.

> So how are you supposed to find anything?

They don't mean the photos can't have names. They just observe that usually in-camera photos don't have particularly useful names like IMG_4321.JPG, same as all the other IMG_4321.JPGs that your camera has and will produce if it sees enough use.

Also that storage doesn't address a blob (or photo) by its name. But by hash / digest. You are welcome to store photo metadata with the hashes and perhaps even a good name if you care for one, in a database, on web pages, or whatever you use - if that makes it easier for you to retrieve the right photo. Probably you should.

Content object storage and retrieval (cumbersome objects) is then separate from issues of remembering what is what (small data).

Hi, thanks for the comment! Just wanted to respond to some of comments here:

>> First, your business model isn't really clear, as what you've described so far sounds more like a research project than a go-to-market premise.

This is not really a core component of our business but more so was just something cool that I built and wanted to share!

>> Computational pathology is a crowded market, and the main players all have two things in common: access to huge numbers of labeled whole-slide images, and workflows designed to handle such images. Without the former, your project sounds like a non-starter, and given the latter, the idea you've pitched doesn't seem like an advantage. Notably, some of the existing models even have open weights (e.g. Prov-GigaPath, CTransPath).

We have partnerships with a few labs to get access to a large amount of WSIs, both H&E and IHC, but our core business really isn't building workflow tools for pathologists at the moment.

>> Second, you've talked about using this approach to make diagnoses, but it's not clear exactly how this would be pitched as a market solution. The range of possible diagnoses is almost unlimited, so a useful model would need training data for everything (not possible). My understanding is that foundation models solve this problem by focusing on one or a few diagnoses in a restricted scope, e.g. prostate cancer in prostate core biopsies.

I agree with you in that I don’t necessarily think this is really a market solution at the current state (it isn't even close to accurate enough), but I think that the beauty of this solution is the general-purpose nature of it in that it can work not only across tissue types, but also different pathology tasks like IHC scoring along with cancer sub typing. The value of foundation models is in the fact that tasks can generalize. For example, part of what made this super interesting to me was the fact that the general purpose foundation models like GPT 5 are able to even perform this super niche task! Obviously there are path-specific foundation models too that have their own ViT backbones, but it is pretty incredible that GPT 5 and Claude 4.5 can perform at this level already.

Yes to the best of my knowledge, most FDA-approved solutions are point solutions, but I am not yet convinced this is the best way to deploy solutions in the long-term. For example, there will always be rare diseases where there isn't enough of a market for there to be a specialized solution for and in those cases, general-purpose models that can generalize to some degree may be crucial.

Yes, I believe your understanding is lacking. Ambulances are dispatched for other medical emergencies as well. Compared to many other parts of Australia and even the world, the response time statistics claimed are very good.

Sadly, A heart attack can be fatal even with immediate medical intervention at a hospital. A defibrillator can only correct certain kinds of abnormal heart electrical activity.

In my experience as soon as the dispatcher understands it's a medical problem, has confirmed the address and that the patient is not breathing, they will begin talking the caller through performing CPR.

I suppose if I was concerned about it, the burden would be on me to move somewhere closer to the hospital or wherever the ambulance stages between calls. Unfortunqtely, there's always a chance no ambulance is available or that an accident has blocked the road.

How soon do you believe assistance should arrive?

Cardiac events don’t usually work like that. You could, for example, get permanent damage if your heart attack isn’t treated within 30 minutes (as a guideline, the circumstances vary heavily). Even an aneurism doesn’t often act quicker than 20 minutes. But ya, sub 10 minute response times only happen in a hospital, sub 1 minute response times in intensive care, etc…

Still, you feel like you are having a heart attack, call 911 (in the US) right away. The main time killer is probably just you recognizing that you need help (vs the time it takes to get help once called).

I can access any website or webapp without verification. I can install any app on my PC without verification.

I assume the results of my actions and I accept that if something bad is going to happen, it's my fault. I am fine with that.

I want the same kind of freedom on my phone, a device I own and I payed for with my own money. I am not smarter when using the PC and dumber when using the phone. I want to be able to opt out of verification and install whatever I want.

Very sad that their prints have discolored so badly.

For reasons that I cannot imagine, the Canadian National Art Gallery has a complete set of Escher prints that was bequeathed to the gallery by M.C. Escher himself.

If you ever get a chance to see them exhibited, you MUST do so. I have loved Escher prints, ever since I discovered them as a teenager. But seeing the actual prints in person is extraordinary. They were larger than I expected, and they display incredible craftsmanship that photographs do not convey at all -- beautiful paper, blindingly white, with broad white borders, crisp dense black ink, each one meticulously printed. As physical objects, they have gravitas and seriousness. Its is obvious that an enormous amount of effort went into producing perfect prints. Fun as photographs, but fiercely beautiful in person.

Unfortunately, for obvious reasons, the Canadian National Gallery does not display them often. I regularly visit the National Gallery, but I've only ever seen them once.

I wonder whether there are conservation steps that the Boston Public Library can take to deal with the discoloration.

The built in Android SMS app seems to be horrible in every incarnation I've seen. The one that comes with the Pixel, the one Samsung has. Some may like it, but I can't stand them. I tend to install my own SMS app in each case, and I don't use computers to be locked into something I don't prefer.

It's my tool. Mine. I'll do with it as I please.

I agree there are issues. But preventing installs aren't the answer, just like removing all windows and doors from a house isn't the answer to neighbourhood crime.

I'd be more inclined to say the problem is allowing apps to be funded by advertising. If all apps were paid apps, and using personal data in any way was immensely, "thrown in jail" illegal, then you'd find yourself approving access to contacts, SMS, Pii quite rarely.

It would really stand out in such a case.

"What?! I've been using my phone for 10 years, and some app wants to see my contacts. Why?? No one reputable asks for that, ever!"

So much of the problem with the internet is that Pii is paying the way.

On GrapheneOS, when I install anything, it flat out asks me if I want to give it internet access at all. SMS could be the same way. Off by default, try to grant it, big warnings.

At a certain point, if you have big warnings saying "Are you serious?!" and people turn it on, it entirely ends up being the end user's fault.

Up to what a committee of 3 people (or in the alternate district court judge James Donato) believes this means, assuming the judge approves the proposed modification to the injunction in the first place

> Google may create reasonable requirements for certification as a Registered App Store, including but not limited to review of the app store by Google’s Android team and the payment of reasonable fees to cover the operational costs associated with the review and certification process. Such fees may not be revenue proportionate.

One appointed by Google, one by Epic, one appointed by the other two. All three will be barred from private communications about any of this with any parties.

Considering this is an anti-trust suit I suspect the judge would be extremely unamused if the committee members found that "must ban NewPipe" was a reasonable requirement.

- Archive: Anything you have a feeling might be useful - Delete: Anything you’re pretty sure would be useless in the future

This has always been my strategy, though some might say I'm closer to "archive almost everything". I still do a lot of deleting, though. Deleted mail tends to fall into the following broad categories:

- security alerts and passcodes - notifications for events happening in a different systems (e.g. Venmo payments, bank alerts, etc.) - receipts for non-durable things like restaurants

I guess I could try to move these more forcefully from email versus phone notifications, but this still is really low priority and it's kind of better to just deal with it in a batch at the end of the day.

There seems to be a whole market of Google Play developer accounts and apps for sale, developers like myself regularly get emailed by scammy companies offering to buy the account or to publish an app, and malware is regularly found on Google Play[0]. There's no reason to believe that bad actors would be stopped by install restrictions if their scam is effective enough to overcome the financial hurdles

A thousand years ago it was unthinkable we could circumnavigate the globe.

We don’t understand quantum mechanics and we don’t understand gravity. There’s no reason to assume that we won’t find ways to travel the universe, e.g. by manipulating space time. We just don’t know what we don’t know.

If you had to bet based on past achievements, humanity will find a way. Our job is to push the limits as much as we can and build a foundation for future generations.

Aren't the gausian splats the output here? Or are these worlds fully meshed and textured assets?

From my understanding, admittedly quite a shallow look so far, the model generates gaussian splats then from that could implement the collider.

I guess from the splat and the colliders you could generate actual assets that could be interactable/animated/have physics etc. Unsure, exciting space though! I just don't know how I would properly use this in a game, the examples are all quite on-rails and seem to avoid interacting too much with stuff in the environment.

No, you can't. According to [1] the scrap value of a penny is $0.0084771. The cost of production is $0.037. The relevant question is if a penny creates more than $0.037 of economic value before it is lost or destroyed.

Personally, I want a punching bag. It's not because I'm some kind of sociopath or need to work off some aggression. It's just that I need to work the upper body muscles in a punching manner. Sometimes the leg muscles need to move, and sometimes it's the upper body muscles.

ChatGPT is the best social punching bag. I don't want to attack people on social media. I don't want to watch drama, violent games, or anything like that. I think punching bag is a good analogy.

My family members do it all the time with AI. "That's not how you pronounce protein!" "YOUR BALD. BALD. BALDY BALL HEAD."

Like a punching bag, sometimes you need to adjust the response. You wouldn't punch a wall. Does it deflect, does it mirror, is it sycophantic? The conversational updates are new toys.

Yeah. I mean the irony is that the one advantage of having a controlled and monitored app store would be that the entity monitoring it enforces certain standards. Games don't need access to your contacts, ever. If Google Play would just straight up block games that requested unnecessary permissions, it might have value. Instead we have 10,000 match-three games that want to use your camera and read all your data and Google is just fine with that. If the issue was access to personal data, a large proportion of existing apps should just be banned.

AFAIK not all Tesla's do that. I agree they should explicitly enable that and come up with some sort of warranty condition / upgrade.

Saying that I'm a pretty big V2G skeptic. I've setup excess solar charging for my car and it's kinda PITA to micromanage $1 savings. V2G is even worse + you spend something like $4k on equipment when same can buy 30kWh worth of batteries and forget about it. IMO costs will drop eventually tho.

That's surprising. For the past two companies, all our library dependencies have been open-source. All our persistences, aws sdk, consul, kubernetes, github/bitbucket libraries, pdf generation, selenium testing, etc etc. I'd recommend giving C# another look, the proprietary stuff is mostly an artifact of back in 2015 when everyone was still on .NET Framework.
