It sounds like you haven’t really thought through AI safety in any real detail at all. Airgapping and the necessity of human input are absolutely not ways to prevent an AGI gaining access to a system. A true, superintelligent AGI could easily extort (or persuade) those humans.

If you think concerns over AGI are “stupid”, you haven’t thought about it enough. It’s a massive display of ignorance.

The Computerphile AI safety videos are an approachable introduction to this topic.

Edit: just as one very simple example, can you even imagine the destruction that could (probably will) occur if (when) a superintelligent AGI gets access to the internet? Imagine the zero days it could discover and exploit, for whatever purpose it felt necessary. And this is just the tip of the iceberg, just one example off the top of my head of something that would almost inevitably be a complete catastrophe.
votes suggest this came across snarky, wasn't intended. I was serious about the last part , if there is real value there almost has to be other, even better ways to reach people.
Funnily enough I also stopped playing Destiny 2 when they added ring 0 requirements and primarily focus on single player games now :)

If steam deck is successful enough I wonder how long until kernel modules become a requirement...
Indeed, though thankfully we have the alternatives.
in Star Trek: the Federation has unlimited energy and the ability to replicate most forms of matter

but human(oid) intelligence is still scarce, and they don't have AGI (other than Data)

there is however a society that has no need for humanoid intelligence, and that's the Dominion

and I suspect that is what our society would turn into if AGI is invented (and not the Federation)
> AGI

Idk what prompted you to say this, but is there a version of AGI that isn't "real" AGI? I don't know how anyone could fake it. I think marketing departments might say whatever they want, but I don't see any true engineers falling for something masquerading as AGI.

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.
> The majority of Mac users are producers

That's not true at all, and sounds like Mac user elitism that everyone hates.

It is true, that many iPhone users aren't interested in mac and some not interested in any kind of desktop/laptop device at all. The same true vice-versa - I have a mac* and not interested in iPhone and plenty of my colleges are the same.

*: One because compliance is easier than on Linux and another one because I need to develop for mac and iOS.
- available without internet

- you can have personalisation in the app without needing to create an account

I checked out your GitLab repos and yep, this is vaporware.
Please, do not EVER try to come to any medical conclusions based on observations of a Facebook mom group. That is basically taking all of the known issues with anecdotes and distilling it into a self-amplifying disaster.
This is the answer I give people too.

"But I won't work at FAANG anymore". Does that really bother you? Do you want to work at your big company always? If so, talk to your manager to move horizontally. But if you are staying at this company just for the label and are otherwise unhappy, that's probably a silly reason to stay. There is plenty of life after big tech.

These are value decisions you need to make for yourself. Forget what other people think or what looks sexy on HN. Look at what you value and what makes you happy.
Yep, that's how I interpreted it to. The following things are still unclear to me:

- if you ACH push/pull funds from your other banks accounts into FTXus, are those funds held in that Evolve Bank checking account (therefore being FDIC insured)?

- if you deposit some crypto/stables and sell to USD, are those funds deposited into the Evolve Bank account?

- if you wire in USD (domestic and international) are those stored in the Evolve Bank?
And that's why we should open up stores by law if necessary.

Apple shouldn't be the one to tell me what kind of apps I can have on the device I've bought with my money.

iPhone XS iOS 15.4 Netflix App Updated
A1 Telekom both mobile and wifi.
It does not even work at work with a different ISP.

Netflix has all the bandwidth data and metrics, but this is not working since ages.
Maybe a more basic setup on their end would bring better results. Focus more and delivery, not 10 different UI versions, AB Tests, Batch Job Workflows and so on. They Post on their engineering blog how they test multiple TVs, multiple Profiles in encoding, great things, but if the basics don’t work ... well what is it good for.

I think they lost their focus.
Good memory! Yes, there is a connection here. I originally built sinerider when I was just out of high school. My ambitions were much bigger than my skillset, so I never really finished it. I started working for Hack Club a few years ago, and this summer we decided to turn our students loose on an old half-baked alpha I had on the shelf. Honestly I thought they might just fix the bugs and touch up the sprites a bit, but they ended up doing a top-to-bottom renovation with all this crazy new original art and sound and shader effects. I honestly truthfully pinky-swear never ever thought it would look and sound and feel this good. Watching this happen has been one of the greatest joys of my life!
The "new, highly-reviewed, wifi adapter" pictured in the article looks like Alibaba garbage. I'm surprised it didn't cause some worse problem.

A better solution is: not only make things legal that people like and want and are better for the world and fit better in congested cities and pollute the air less and are quieter, also make them supported and build for them.

Craft your laws around the best society you can imagine, don't stop society evolving because of the crappy laws you have.
To be fair, could equally be read as “just because I’m a bot doesn’t mean you should ignore everything I say” :)
Why is it so important to you that humans be the smartest beings on the planet?
Carmack sounds like someone who lives his job, so I don't think age/life stage is a factor here.
I agree with this. Optimists might think that the AGI won't be connected to any network, so it can't interact with the physical world.

I doubt that. People will be stupid enough to have weapons controlled by that AGI (because arms race!) and then it's over. No sufficiently advanced AGI will think that humans are worth keeping around.
The philosophy side of the matter seems meaningless, it interrogates the meaning of language, not the capabilities of technology. When people ask "Could machines think?" the question isn't really about machines, it's about precisely what we mean by the word 'think'.

Can a submarine swim? Who cares! What's important is that a submarine can do what a submarine does. Whether or not the action of a submarine fits the meaning of the word 'swim' should be irrelevant to anybody except poets.
"The Standard C Library" by P.J. Plauger. would be a match for stuff discussed in K&R.

Ask HN: Are there any proven examples of Web3 benefiting the creator economy?
Web3 has hyped up a lot of things, like creating an "open economy" for creators. I love this promise, but I'm curious if this works yet.
This is pretty much only because the Mac is the only way to "officially" create iPhone apps.
Sentience is ill-defined and therefore doesn't exist.
Apple, by creating the iPhone and a standardized App Store, have essentially created billions of revenue for developers throughout the years.

I find your sense of entitlement morally derelict.
I found that RustDesk worked very well for me: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk

(I'm using it for linux to linux.)
Fanboys triggered.
I think Apple has every right to tighten up their first-party App Store, but they should also acknowledge the user's right to install what they want. Maybe some people do want a "too simple" app, and I don't think Apple has the right to tell the user what is-and-isn't appropriate. It's common sense. This would be a great time for them to add a Developer Mode a-la Android, and also start purging their own shopfronts. If Apple genuinely believes they can compete in a free market, they should have no problem restocking their store.
I have a company-issued laptop with some corporate spyware installed. I'm not actually required to use it for development, so I don't use it. But I have to switch it on from time to time or else I get a nice email from IT.

Anyway whenever I switch it on my wifi goes to shit. Apparently it does some SSID scanning every 5 seconds and then keeps sending the scan result to the "mothership". So I switch it on once or twice a week for an hour or so to do its spying thing.
Commander Keen Technologies?
if anyone would have a sense of the number of operations required, you'd hope it was a mathematician.
My guess is the grandparent refers to this kind of attack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_extension_attack

Basically, many cryptographic hashes support fixed-length hashes of variable message lengths by breaking the message into blocks, chaining their hashes* and taking the final hash.

The weakness here is if you know the length of a prefix and its hash, you can generate more valid hashes of messages that contain the unknown prefix but with custom suffixes. This is relevant if you use the hash for authentication (i.e. MAC) as it allows producing certain types of custom messages that would also validate.

However, this has largely been a non-issue for a long time now as it takes very little tweaking of the protocol (stuff being authenticated) to make adding suffixes useless. Double hashing is one such mitigation, because the outer hash is now working over a fixed size input, meaning to attack it you'd need to the signed message instead of just appending to it.

*: This approach of chaining hashes of blocks is also used in other contexts that you may be familiar with ;)
At least we have lots of very complex simulated or pseudo-simulated environments already — throw your AGI agent into a sandbox mode game of GTA6, or like OpenAI and DeepMind already did, with DOTA2 and StarCraft II (with non-G-AIs). They have a vast almost-analog simulation space to figure out and interact with (including identifying or coming up with a goal).

So while it is significant compute overhead, it at least doesn't have to be development overhead, and can often be CPU bound (headless games) while the AI learning compute can be GPU bound.
Humans can't iterate themselves over generations in short periods of time. An AGI is only bound by whatever computing power it has access to. And if it's smart it can gain access to a lot of computing power (think about a computer worm spreading itself on the internet)
Seems fine. The original version was just a wrapper around a web page. There’s absolutely no reason for that to be an app.

Tarting it up with shit that no one wants or needs doesn’t change the fact that this would be just fine as a web page.
This happened to me with Tailscale, but because my GitHub name changed. It was quite confusing at first.
Have you heard about EfficientZero? This is the first algorithm that achieved super-human performance on Atari 100k actions benchmark. EfficientZero's performance is also close to DQN's performance at 200 million frames while we consume 500 times less data.

DQN was published in 2013, EfficientZero in 2021. That's 8 years with 500 times improvement.

So data efficiency was doubling roughly every year for the past 8 years.

Side note: EfficientZero I think still may not be super-human on games like Montezuma's Revenge.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.00210

Reinforcement learning has achieved great success in many applications. However, sample efficiency remains a key challenge, with prominent methods requiring millions (or even billions) of environment steps to train. Recently, there has been significant progress in sample efficient image-based RL algorithms; however, consistent human-level performance on the Atari game benchmark remains an elusive goal. We propose a sample efficient model-based visual RL algorithm built on MuZero, which we name EfficientZero. Our method achieves 194.3% mean human performance and 109.0% median performance on the Atari 100k benchmark with only two hours of real-time game experience and outperforms the state SAC in some tasks on the DMControl 100k benchmark. This is the first time an algorithm achieves super-human performance on Atari games with such little data. EfficientZero's performance is also close to DQN's performance at 200 million frames while we consume 500 times less data. EfficientZero's low sample complexity and high performance can bring RL closer to real-world applicability. We implement our algorithm in an easy-to-understand manner and it is available at this https URL. We hope it will accelerate the research of MCTS-based RL algorithms in the wider community.
> I would assume you could dope in interconnects, between the sides.

Actually, you probably can't; the distance between the sides is practically astronomical compared to the horizontal feature size. I don't remeber the exact actual dimensions, but if you assume a a 1-nm trace is equivalent to a 10-meter road, then a 1-mm wafer thickness would be equivalent a 10'000-km planetary diameter, so you're getting close to the scale of routing a internet cable through the center of the earth. (At least it's not molten, I guess?) And doping generally works by diffusion, not drilling a hole.
The way to fake it would be to conceal the details of the AGI as proprietary trade secrets, when the real secret is the human hidden behind the curtain.
If relatively slow speed is enough I recommend this device, I've had fun using it to build a gadget or two.

I used to use NoMachine with good success. I believe they have the cross platform capability and performance you might expect, though it's been years since I used it. Can it work?
> If steam deck is successful enough I wonder how long until kernel modules become a requirement...

Yeah, there's already Linux-specific cheats in the wild which abuse the fact that the Linux anticheats are oblivious to anything happening outside of the current user, so they can manipulate the games memory with complete impunity simply by doing it from root or a kernel module. Developers may become more hesitant to allow Linux clients as abuse becomes more common, unless the anticheats start extending into ring0 on Linux the same way they do on Windows.
Create an app with complex filters and social shit and make the app hit an HTTP endpoint to see if they should be enabled on startup. Once the app is accepted into the store, hide the stupid features remotely. :-)
Huh, that looks useful for me!
It does once you have a human level AGI, it should be trivial to scale it up to a superhuman level.

(author here) Man that camera app sounds so good! I love gesture based apps, and I'm tired of going looking for buttons on the most used functions of a device..

The biggest problem I try to convey is that you have no way of knowing you'll get the rejection without putting the work in first.

So you, like me, wasted probably days (if not weeks) to create a fully functional app, spent much of that time on user-facing functions that you would have probably not needed, only to find that it was for nothing.

It's not like on Android where you can just share an APK with your friends.

TestFlight still has to review your betas, if you want to at least share the app with someone else.

You already knew what you were getting into when you bought it, and Apple is far from having a monopoly.
Huh, I've been able to do that locally for 25 years.
I think scaling BeReal is probably significantly easier than a lot of services.

1. You have a huge burst but you pick when that happens. That means you can provision the appropriate hardware just in time.
2. Storing and serving images is really easy now with a multitude of satisfactory cloud services that are reasonably priced.
3. You can move stuff to colder storage pretty aggressively.
I don't think we need this that bad so as to jeopardize our privacy and freedom over it. So I'll pass on this idea.
Ever been to Italy, where nortadella is from?

He's actually interviewed on YouTube, amazingly enough.

When he was young, he was sick and confined to his house, where they had a complete collection of the Gazette and lots of other stuff. Basically, he spent his entire life learning about the period.

So he digested all that stuff that we'd probably never get to. What's your point?
I assume you have to pay the $99 annual dev fee to submit apps for review? I wonder how much Apple makes on unused dev fees, I'm sure not tons but it does seems like they should offer partial refunds if they refuse to work with devs.
that's amazing, i recalled greatly enjoying and also seeing the potential from your original prototype when i saw it in 2014 (my comment from back then says so)!

sounds incredibly gratifying to bequeath it to a new gen of devs and see them exceed your expectations for it, especially as an educator. great job!

Agreed. Don't add lanes at the expense of density, take the existing lanes away from cars. Make the experience hellish and expensive for them so they stop driving around in cities where, for the most part, they shouldn't be, and turn that space into pedestrian walkways, cycle/micromobility infrastructure, and perhaps the occasional park or extra canal.

The real reason is that they don't want more apps. There are too many, so any small independent dev has an uphill battle getting their app approved.

> 1. Apple did use their market power crush small companies.

What small companies? The ones buying/selling my data without my consent? Yeah, they can take a long walk off a short pier.

Also, TBH some FB and those "small companies" poor performance cannot be taken with a grain of salt - cheap cash is no longer there given the interest rate hikes and collapse of crypto - so maybe the performance has more in common with all those startups that lost runway this summer than Apple's rules.
So the migration looks like "upgrade the client or you won't be able to connect to the server any more"? What if you use the client to talk to multiple servers, some that use the old version, some that use the new version? Maybe via a config variable adjustable per server? Then you do out of band version negotiation, and you might get away with this in the VPN setting, where entering arcane config vars is commonplace, but not in e.g. the TLS setting.
If you prefer to access it via your iPhone's control center, you can configure it that way in the control center settings. It is called "Music Recognition" there.

Real AGI would solve this. It wouldn't allow itself to be concealed. Or rather, it would be its own decision. A company couldn't control real AGI.
1. Apple has claimed (from the epic trial) that since they owned the App Store, apps were theirs to sell.

2. Apple has claimed that any use of the iOS APIs is “apple’s data” (eg the Apple Pay system for in-app purchases)

3. Apples privacy policy claims that as long as apple’s data isn’t combined with 3P data, they aren’t “tracking” you.

4. Apple also lets you opt-out of personalized ads not data collection.

Ergo, apple will collect data about you from wherever and use it to target ads.

[1] apples privacy policy

Apple’s advertising platform does not track you, meaning that it does not link user or device data collected from our apps with user or device data collected from third parties for targeted advertising or advertising measurement purposes
