Sends you a text from your spouse's phone number that an emergency has happened and you need to go to xyz location right now. Someone else is a gun owner and they get a similar text, but their spouse is being held captive and are sent to the same location with a description of you as the kidnapper. Scale this as desired.

I work in the public service sector. When we're architecting OAuth2/OIDC integrations we specify using a unique identifier like a guid or some otherwise immutable id as the federation id. This way other attributes that may be ephemeral can change at will. It's not always easy determining this but it's worth it.

The beer glass app definitely didn't require a jailbreak, because I used it well before I even jailbroke my iPhone. It was a legit App Store app.
Am I the only person who doesn't get excited about cameras, but gets really excited about foldable form factor phones?
I haven’t tried humming with Shazam recently, but I don’t think it worked well back when I did have the actual app. It works very well for music though. I used it around five times, just this Wednesday night at a concert, and it got every track for me.

Soundhound is what had humming “support” explicitly in its product description, and it worked pretty well from what I remember. It’s been long enough though that I may only be remembering the times it worked.

That's the problem. Housing has been regulatory captured. Abundant housing contruction due to a free market would allow people to live in dwellings at a slim margin above mass construction. Houston is still $270k homes while adding 20k people a year.
I don’t buy that. The gap between “no AGI” and “AGI but it’s a child” is orders of magnitude greater than the gap between “5 year old” and “smartest human”.

Believe me or not, I was in a company doing web file streaming in 2009 using Nginx, sendfile and SSL offloading on the NIC.

It was installed by one dude. A standard Linux distro, standard kernel and no custom software. Just compile the SSL offloading kernel module once.

> Who cares about 2 MB with 5G

Statements like this reminds me we live in different planets. I'd argue we should still care, just like we care about accessibility in general, but obviously it's indeed a lost cause. Anyone not on 1Gbps and 32 GB of RAM is to be relegated
Even if a client does a RST_STREAM, the origin server might already have done a lot of additional work (e.g. request the pushed file from an upstream if it's a proxy/CDN), and probably stuffed min(TCP_SEND_BUFFER_SIZE, STREAM_FLOW_CONTRO_WINDOW) of data into the stream. Which then also means all of that work might get billed if the server is a managed service. It's really quite some waste of resources compared to the client sending an additional request (which might even be a conditional request).
Not bad for 10 days of work.
X2go is super smooth and fast, yes Linux has a fast remote access protocol, server and client software.
In plenty product categories its basically impossible to find a product by a company that doesn't do something that it "shouldn't" do, and nevertheless picking one of them is still better than not picking any.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple stalls the developer to copy the idea and add an events app or integrate it into maps. They’ve done similar things in the past.
Why is this here again? Wasn’t this on the front page all of yesterday?
> The current App Store is huge and unwieldy, its search and discovery UX dated.

It’s worse than dated. The top results are ads. I’d pay a monthly subscription fee to return to the App Store search/UX from before it had ads.
This is probably true, and also so sad.

They have their business reasons, but this comes at the detriment of some many things, as they’re fighting tooth and nails against side loading.
This isn't an all-or-nothing thing. iOS 15 included several PWA-related improvements, and a 2023 iOS 16 update will bring Web Push to iOS.

Depends on how much effort you're willing to put in. Back in the mid-2010s, our team made a 1U with a BOM cost of ~$3k, but we manufactured everything except the bare PCBs in-house. I'm sure the kits are a lot more expensive.
I am using ANSI US layout even on ISO keyboards for programming.

But honestly, I can’t be sure if I’m touch typing or not. All I know, I can type at decent speed without noise and looking to keyboard.
I believe to create AI, we need to first simulate the universe. It's the only way that makes sense to me apart from some magical algorithm people think will be discovered. I'm doubtful we'll reach it in our lifetimes, true AI running on supercomputers, it seems like the final, end all mission. Like switching your Minecraft world from survival to creative mode.
Same here. Have had to use UIViewRepresentable a few times to make use of UIKit features that SwiftUI doesn't support. Specifically, MapKit is incredibly barebones in SwiftUI, so I couldn't use it at all. Had to use an MKMapView through a UIViewRepresentable instead; this is so I could do things with custom overlays, even as simple as paths between two coordinates.

Facebook is fundamentally a multimedia company, not a technology firm, and they know it. Why they're trying to build video games with scrum is a mystery to me. They are good at ads, scaling backends, mining our data, and paying droves of SV devs to make a few apps.

This scenario does not lend itself to a AAA game dev studio. It's not in FB's or Zmuckerbergs DNA.

I'm sure there are reasons Carmack decided it wasn't worth his time to see it through with Oculus and instead just recently moved on to found his own AI company.
Hmm is a pixel a pixel eg. Sony Alpha 2 vs. this
What makes you think I don't speak out about those things?
We’re all going to die.
They will probably replicate his design in the future.
I suspect there will be some pixel binning going on. Should we expect 50 MP output? I'd believe so.

I wish there'd be more focus on actual limitations in phone photography. On phones with multiple lenses/sensors the lenses with more general purpose focal lengths are always coupled with crappier sensors than the main ~28 mm equiv ones.
But it's okay because [vague arguments about "protection" and "privacy"]
Our app has been using the same purpose string on why we needed the camera. We have submitted over 50 updates for two years. Then all of a sudden our app was rejected with

“Revise the purpose string in your app’s Info.plist file for the camera to explain why your app needs access and include an example of how the user's data will be used.”

I argued back and forth with whoever was reviewing for Apple at that moment. After 3 hours our app was approved. Smh.
Yeah, and unless I’m wrong, this also means the TTFB could be significantly higher, since I think the PUSH_PROMISE frames need to come before the main content. Doing that at least requires gathering up the information on those objects, which takes time.
The frustrating part here is you're a straight up dev humbly working on features and have an app you want in the store. Meanwhile, a quick search of the store yields tons of spammy apps that are definitely just wrapping a web-site or, worse, designed to scam people out of their money via in-app purchases.
There's nothing stopping developers from doing server-side validation before sending markup to clients.

It seems like the majority of developers have never really wanted to make that cost-benefit tradeoff, though. I ran tons of websites declaring an xhtml doctype through https://validator.w3.org/ back before HTML5 when xhtml was still trendy: almost all of the "xhtml" websites failed validation.
Not directly relevant perhaps. I would not go as far as to say it is necessarily completely irrelevant; there are many ways usage of FreeBSD in one portion of a company, or by employees hired from another company, can affect decisions made by the company.

Who knows what plans Netflix had in mind when this decision was made? Maybe they simply commit to FreeBSD because they do not want to release their code under the GPL. I certainly never do, and I will never ever make any improvements to any GPL code I use. I think it is an awful license. Maybe Netflix does, too? That would be directly relevant to the license of the OS even if they never release their customized OS, if they have a customized version at all.

> Now we have a fairly concrete idea of what a potential AGI might look like - an RL agent that uses a large transformer.

In 10 years this is going to look just as naive as when people thought AGI was imminent in the 1960s and would be based on symbolic manipulation in LISP or whatever. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_artificial_intell...

Deep learning has been great so far but we have no idea how far we are from AGI. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/artificial-genera...
Totally wrong how? Their mix doesn't break down perfluorinated stuff at 40 degrees?
Shazam was amazing when it came out but for some reason I ended up switching to Soundhound many years ago and haven't looked back. Maybe Shazam has this feature too but Soundhound would not only Id the song but if it's a popular enough song it will show the lyrics AND they'll be synced to the music.

Bryan and Steve, who are getting https://oxide.computer/ up and running? Probably best to leave them at it! Chris has his own AI company too.
Imagine a bunch of chimps capture a human. They put them in a cage surrounded by tigers and spikes and remove all weapons from the human.

The human uses their phone to call for rescue.

That is us trying to contain an AGI. We probably cannot even conceive of the ways it can get out of any pitiful cage we put it in.

That, or it’s so dumb, it’s not worth making in the first place.
I remember doing that years ago when I was younger... so I tried using a stereo rack system. Which immediately heated up and set off in-machine alarms.

My eventual solution was to put the machines under the sink in the bathroom and run a cables through the wall to the bedroom :)
Which part do you find objectionable - the lack of progress in previous years or the current/future potential of transformers in RL? I do work in ML but mostly applications instead of research.

This thread of UI issues with the Ventura System Settings really says it all. Most of this would have been shocking in a different era of Apple.
Sorry, I just wasted ten minutes watching a YouTube video that someone else in this thread asserted was going to explain everything. Said video was entirely tangential to the point in question - why can't we just tell the AGI to sod off with it's wishes and goals. At the end of the day it is all just bits going through wires, which we are perfectly capable of disconnecting.

Now I'm not going to spend a couple of hours watching a film that has a mediocre IMDB rating. But I do notice that the synopsis says "they gave the AGI total control over the US nuclear weapons arsenal".

Yeah, let's not do that, I agree fully on this point. If we are concerned a thing will be evil and/or coercive, let's not give it weapons or other means by which to enact coercion.

This is kind of my point - the AGI won't just stumble over the nuclear codes in a Reddit thread. For the AGI to actually accomplish something of real-world relevance, us humans have to agree.
Isn't this a $50k-$100k box? Feels like this isn't the cheapest way to do this by an order of magnitude. What am I missing?

Similar, but not exact, are deb, and likely others, with failed storage will continually dhcprenew as they can’t write the leasefile for the interface. Near ddos as far as windows dhcp server is concerned. Required an arp table trace to find. Bad_Address is usually the symptom.
I hope he’s maybe grown up since then. Not thrilled to have that attitude from someone working on general AI.

>If someone builds a machine that can unequivocally learn on it's own, replicate itself, and eventually solve ever more complex problems that humans couldn't even hope to solve, then we have AGI. Anything less than that is just a computer program.

Behold, a slime mold.
Snark aside, I suppose that most independent iOS developers don't receive enough in sales to offset the $99 entry fee.

I suppose that the kind of enthusiast Apple prefer to see on their platform is an enthusiastic consumer. Which very much aligns with their desire to keep their gadgets in the class of locked-down home appliances, like a TV or a gaming console.
Well there is an alternative solution. That alternative solution being to force Apple, under threat of legal action and massive fines, to do what we want them to do (using the legal and legislative process).
To be fair, that is pretty much the story of early interop testing: the bake-offs, where they put everyone in a room and tested against each other.
0. RDP is not as simple as sending draw commands. It has eg commands that correspond to scrolling regions of the screen to save on network use, a framerate limit (25fps I think) and allows some colour space reduction to reduce bandwidth too. I think it does a bunch of raster things (eg maybe caching floating windows like right-click menus). I think the windows server implementation can take advantage of information about the composition of the screen from windows.

1. There is some trade off of latency for bandwidth: it may take more time to figure out a small change to send over the network. Looking at api use from eg X may help with old apps that make small updates but more modern apps (or even modern fonts) which just render to gpu buffers and composite are less amenable to this. Very modern apps that use special apis to do lower latency scrolling/resize may be a little better.

3. A lot of the time for Linux the solution is to use ssh and terminal apps as they tend to make smaller updates and require less bandwidth. You can also try mosh to compensate for high latency connections. Text editors can work ok in terminals, especially fancy modern ones with eg mouse support. And for web things you can do set up a socks proxy over ssh which I think can work for a lot of apps which are really just web sites. So this may be part of the reason: fewer people see Remote Desktop as necessary.

4. I’ve had reasonable success with xrdp on the server and a windows client. One needed to select 32-but colour to get a better protocol version and turning off double-buffering in some apps (eg emacs) helped. But that was over a wired high bandwidth low latency connection.
Great job missing the point.

The point is that the role of the FBI has to be considered on a case by case basis. They are neither the good/bad guys because they infiltrated the Weather Underground or SDS in the 60s, and they are not the good/bad guys because they are infiltrating right wing groups today. Likewise, just because Hoover used them for his own personal vendettas - incontrovertibly - doesn't make them a priori the good or the bad guys. The same is true in reverse: none of the groups are a priori the good or bad guys because they've been investigated or infiltrated by the FBI.

BTW, the vast majority of the organizations the FBI infiltrated between 1963 and 1976 were non-violent and dedicated to peace.
1. What is your alternative?

2. What is your definition of the problem?
To expand on parent’s point, it’s not that they want a set number of apps available. They’ll just raise the bar as they approach what they see as “too many apps” situation, and will put pressure on app devs to show better, more viables ideas to their eyes. Noise will still grow, but at a way lower pace.

To your point, there’s two mechanisms already at play: indie devs need to spend significant effort to be published, so they need to at least believe in their ideas (weeds out an enormous number of new apps already), and they need to keep maintaining their apps, as they’ll get garbage collected if the app stays unupdated.
You're presuming the AGI is ever made aware that it's an AGI, that the nature of the simulated environment the AGI exists in ever becomes apparent to the AGI.

Suppose: You are an AGI. The world you think you know is fully simulated. The researchers who created you interact with you using avatars that appear to you as normal people similar to yourself. You aren't faster/smarter than those researchers because they control how much CPU time you get. How do you become aware of this? How to you break out?
* To his credit Carmack is a one-person brand and attaching your (good) brand to a tainted brand (Facebook) isn't great

* Many believe Occulus isn't succeeding fast enough, and so the years Carmack spent on Occulus/Metaverse could have been spent on any number of interesting projects. Although I'm sure the money was amazing and I can't object to him taking it.

* If Occulus/Metaverse succeeds it will be a ultra-monetized environment (re: Farmville) and encourage a huge amount of consumer-hostile policies like unlimited tracking (since Facebook owns the hardware now). No gamer wants that.
The whales who will be justifying its existence won't benefit from that.

I find myself in the utterly bizarre position (to me, anyway) of defending a megacorp against government interference because government has failed to reign in the bad behavior of the entire rest of the software market. Granted the EU's headed the right direction, but they've still not gone far enough, and the US is way behind. I hope EU citizens get what they want, but am also hoping we don't see those effects bleed over into the US market—yet, with the legal protections we have in place right now.

My preference would be that spying and hoarding data about users simply be outlawed (plus a bunch of other things, some of which Apple does, unfortunately, allow) and those laws be well-enforced—and also the walled gardens opened up, by law if necessary, but I'd much rather not see the latter without the former happening first, since the current state of things in-fact lets me choose to have some protection against that bad behavior, without significant time investment on my part. If that private regulatory service breaks down for any reason, I'll simply be worse off, as things stand.
I second this! I was also looking for performance (3d graphics usage) and NoMachine is surprisingly performant; currently using it across both Windows, Linux and Mac and consider my search to be over.

it is not semantics, it is Philosophy and the foundation of ethics

If there are no natural rights, then it would not be unethical for a government to infringe upon those rights, Thus says a China or North Korea or Russia are perfectly ethical governments because the government has choose their citizens do not have X rights and that is in their authority to do has a government.

Instead the founding principle is "we hold these truths to be self evident" this is a foundational principle, and Philosophy of natural rights. Rights that no ethical government can violate even if the will of the people was to "agree" to the infringement.

Authoritarianism is the belief that governments are the all powerful, and people are subservient to the government, and government bestowed up on the citizens their rights, I reject Authoritarianism completely and with out reservation

Pointing out that government can be instituted that would infringe on natural rights is not proof that natural rights are non-existent
