Ordinarily this would be victim shaming / blaming. Though the endgame of crypto is dystopian. A reversion to centralized command economies where the gatekeepers of economic activity are early adopters.

Understand what you are putting your resources into, and how it measures against Kantian categorical imperative. It is difficult to be sympathetic to someone harmed by something that is harmful when universal.
True story... Years ago, my friend (let's call her "Alice") and I put it together that whenever we went over to "Bob's" house for dinner we both got the runs. Finally, one of us mentioned it to Bob and he immediately blamed his wife: "I've told her," he said, "sometimes she doesn't wash the soap off the plates well enough." Something like that had never occurred to me. Sheer speculation, but it made some sense, as the dinners themselves were fairly basic.
> Letsencrypt should serve its users, not force them onto anything.

The only way they can serve users is by forcing them to do the right thing.

You're insisting on doing the wrong thing and shouting at the people that are telling you how to do it right.

An analogy would be the equivalent of "not your wallet, not your crypto". Literally millions of naive crypto enthusiasts have just had $9B stolen from them by FTX because they didn't grasp this basic concept. They just wanted something convenient.

With something like PKI or cryptocoins, there are no shortcuts to security.

It's like sticky-taping your key to your locked front door.

Or writing your pin code on your credit card.

Or setting your password to "12345".
Ah, why would we need that kind of stuff when God has granted every animals their own places in the hereafter?
Gonna be a hard no on that one. Sorry, champ.
I’d prefer us finding a way to turn the circle of life into the line of life.
Thanks homie, it's good to be appreciated.
I am so happy for the continued development of desktop-first, offline, and free content tools. Inkscape, Blender, Godot, Krita, and (still, hopefully not spyware?) Audacity [0]. Without the commercial treadmill, I see these all being solid alternatives rather than the broke-student option.

While I am no artist, I have produced several icons and schematics in Inkscape over the years. A true boon that has let me sketch out some ideas for presentations or images for internal applications.

[0] I have given up on Gimp.
I've been using inkscape since I learned about it on sourceforge around 2006 or so. Not only for uni in my studies on graphic design but for all my professional career, which has been almost my de facto tool for all things vector (the other being MetaPost), so I literally owe my career to inkscape.

I agree Inkscape is super intuitive and love that is keyboard oriented so it lets you have a quick workflow you cannot reach with any other similar software, and it should be the paradigm for how design and gui apps should be done - and considering pretty much all other GTK apps aren't as complex and not as easy to use as Inkscape, makes it even more underrated.

Glad to donate to it so it can keep growing, and boy it has grown so much.
I'd like to offload a required security software to a stand-alone device that exposes the software endpoints directly to the host via PCIe. The goal would be to ensure that if an attacker gets into the host, they are unable to modify the security software or limit its functionality.

Ideally the card would have a TPM module and supports some sort of signed boot/firmware validation.

I know I'm being a bit coy, but hopefully that helps you understand the requirements a bit better?
My biggest criticism is the idea of a machine that does 80% of what you expect. Unless it does 100%, people will buy regular computers as well, and have 2 devices.

If an ethical eco-device can't replace the existing standard, it's probably just increasing the amount of stuff produced and resources used, unless people live without that 20% of functionality at all.

I actually enjoy the laptop form factor. It puts my hands close to the screen so I can see the keyboard with my peripheral vision. One day I might learn touch typing, but without that I find a laptop pretty much just as pleasant to use as a monitor and mechanical keyboard.
It’s pretty clear to me this is an intentional choice made by the openai team to collect a corpus of common methods to try and jailbreak an conversational AI so that future models can learn to avoid these methods in the future.
It's really the exact same situation with strict aliasing violations in C and C++. If you break the rules (which are different depending on the language but in any case kind of complicated) all bets are off, even in totally single-threaded code, even if all you're doing is integer arithmetic, and in fact even if your code passes ASan and UBSan. If you'll pardon some shameless self-promotion, I have a talk about this that goes into a lot of examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG-VLezRkYQ

The nice thing about Rust is that you mostly don't have to worry about any of this if you don't write the "unsafe" keyword. Folks with previous C and C++ experience often come in with understandable but mistaken assumptions about how unsafe code works in Rust, and I think it's important to study the rules carefully before you start writing unsafe code for production use.
I wonder what the time to kill on /this/ magic prompt will be
Beware of going too far out there with new TLDs. I use something like manager@clinch.estate for house stuff and it's nearly impossible to explain over the phone or even in person. "Clinchestate at gmail?" A friend has the same problem with first@last.email.
Some jobs may well disappear, but I think rather than AI replacing all these jobs, it will just shift what they entail.

Take software engineering. Rather than doing the dirty work ourselves, we'll become AI supervisors and verifiers. Instead of implementation, the hard parts will become:

- Telling the AI what you want precisely enough that you get the right output.

- Verifying that the resulting code really works.

- Figuring out what went wrong when it doesn't work (which will still require a deep understanding of the code, even if the engineer doesn't write it).

Come to think of it, is that really all that different than what we do today? It sounds like the same job, just higher up on the ladder of abstraction.
A compromised Apple developer account login pushing out a compromised Bitwarden mobile app to the Apple App Store that steals everyone's master passphrases.
The state of West Virginia will give you a (non-RealID) drivers license with a social security card and 2 pieces of mail. Card to prove your identity and mail to prove that name went with a W.Va address.

At one point the lifelock guy had something like 200 W.Va licenses since in the mid-aughts they didn’t actually check to see if that SSN had a license already.

W.Va license gets you a passport. Passport gets you anything you want.

The only thing standing between you and full-blown has-a-passport identity theft is your Social Security Card.

Edit: You can intuitively prove that everywhere doesn’t require a photo ID because some piece of ID has to come first.
Asianometry: AI's Hardware Problem
As someone who struggled with weight for decades, and finally has it under control, I cannot relate to your logic at all. I’ll take my stable weight and skip the cash incentives thanks. Granted I also don’t need the cash so acutely. I hope incentives like this will help others though.
ChatGPT has a public API? I thought they did not release it yet.
To be fair, “you controlled the DNS records for the domain at some point and your entry has yet to be deleted” could also describe the HTTP-01 challenge. Admittedly, having the A/AAAA record point to the wrong place is much more likely to be noticed than having a stray TXT record lying around. Perhaps more worrying is the possibility of having a keypair that is legitimately being used to sign certificate requests, but which an attacker also stole a copy of at some point. (Assume that the server owner doesn’t know they were compromised and hence didn’t rotate the key, but the attacker subsequently lost access for some reason.) Such an attacker would likely have also stolen the TLS private key, but that only stays valid for 90 days, whereas for this keypair approach to be useful, the keypair would have to stay valid for a long time or indefinitely…

There's not much in the way of third-party software included in these images, but it's a good starting point.
That's the entire point of LetsEncrypt; assist people who know they need an SSL cert, but don't know much about SSL.
As a citizen, it makes little difference. If I want my rights respected I better not leave the country? That makes no sense. I see no reason why CBPs immigration duties can be used to bypass 4th amendment but TSA's duty to regulate interstate commerce as outlined in the constitution can't use the same logic by saying regulation of commerce to acheive safety of travellers and those in the ground supersedes the 4th amendment because unlike international travel where you can only go to canada and mexico over land, interstate travel is possible to most states without flying.
You jest but I recall some of Madoff's beneficiaries were forced to give back the money to pay back the claimants.
The state also spends tax payer money on things like this:

According to documents obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request by taxpayer watchdog group White Coat Waste Project, and subsequent media coverage, from October 2018 until February 2019, NIAID spent $1.68 million in taxpayer funds on drug tests involving 44 beagle puppies. The dogs were all between six and eight months old. The commissioned tests involved injecting and force-feeding the puppies an experimental drug for several weeks, before killing and dissecting them. https://mace.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-mace-leads-l...
The creation of an idea is not something that requires prior art. The addition of prior art to an idea falsely equivocates it to evidence of the idea’s merit. However I believe an idea has merit when it has resonance, period.

Thought it was me but out of 3 Pis I had all of them died rather sooner than later… To make things worse I barely used two of them. The only one I’ve got left is still randomly losing HDMI signal, I never know if I’ll be able to see anything when connecting it to any kind of display. Another one just stopped working all of sudden after just a year of working as a weather station. The third one sat in a drawer for a year and a half and wouldn’t run once I got it out.

Are we that unlucky or they’re so unreliable? Not a single electronic product failed me so often in the last 30 years.
What kind of public record do you expect for a private medical procedure?
I don’t have canonical data to fall back on, but I suspect that DKIM and DMARC being set up are key to successful mail delivery these days, if you’re not using one of the biggest players like Gmail. I use Rackspace Mail for my personal domain (not the hosted Exchange variety) and with these two configured I’ve had no issues with mail delivery. But many mail hosting providers still don’t support DKIM: which is one reason I’m still relying on Rackspace despite all their broader woes.
I just want to feed it my whole organization's emails, databases and spreadsheets so it has the context of the work I am doing, based on the questions I have given it, it could certainly replace a first level support person in a lot of cases and in some cases much higher levels, I would pay money for this if I could guarantee the privacy of the company.
I honestly don't know, and at this point it would be digging through almost 100 years of legislative patches to find the current state.

From what I read, they'd basically converged its cost of living and payouts to be Social Security-equivalent (and tied to it for the future), but I believe it's still a distinct program (that just happens to pay the same amount).

There were also some oddities with porting between the two systems (railroad work -> social security work, or vice versa).

It stuck in my mind because the idea of a government-backed retirement system before social security seemed such a weird historical quirk!
The Boeing 737 Technical Site
Basically, you live in a fantasy world. You mention Hitler, but someone like Hitler doesn't stop with Bavaria, he takes over everything around him, as we saw in the 1930s. Did you totally forget how both Austria and Germany were under control of the Nazis, and then they invaded and took over Poland, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, France, etc.? Then, the reason they lost the war was because the "evil" US was large enough to beat them militarily. If the US had been a bunch of small un-unified countries, that never would have happened. They would have been like pre-EU Europe: not sharing any common governance or military power and not having that much economic power because of a lack of a single market and currency.

So, in your world, all the free nations will be too small economically or militarily to really do much and won't be able to effectively unite, and then they'll be beaten into submission by China and Russia.
They should reprint it as 2300. I don't think AI will need 20+k years to become troublesome.
People get caught up in the market. Try being the guy who bought Amazon @ $135 in 1999 in 2000/1.

The market was signaling to many folks that this was legit. Known investors like AnderseenHorowitz were investing. Deloitte has a practice around it. Talk if ETFs entering the market are bad. FTX is attaching itself with branding relationships with Major League Baseball.

To people not getting it, it looked sort of like porn to VHS tapes back in the day. Crypto was built on Russian hackers and drug dealers, and going legit with Wall St.

I was surrounded by a bunch of people who made a lot of money on crypto. I still feel like an ass for losing much of and failing to capitalize on my $100 buy back in 2010. I netted a few thousand bucks instead of.. a lot more. But on the flip side, I think I’d feel guilty for profiting over the exploitation of others had I been able to cash in.
Of course. I mean this doesn't come as a surprise, as others have already said, Mastodon is not designed to handle hundreds of thousands of users and scale up, hence why smaller volunteers are frequently running into issues with such a low amount of users.

Mastodon is still a solution pretending to search for a problem, already reminding us of the failure of federated social networks in the long term and eventually withering away and re-centralizing with larger instances.
You would compare your fund to an index maintained by a company like MSCI or S&P Global which covers Fictionaland. And you’d probably have a number of indexes for Fictionaland that could match depending on how your fund is composed.

You can compare Fictionaland funds to the S&P 500 and this can be a useful exercise. But you can’t determine if your Fictionaland fund is “good” unless you compare to a representative index — this is one with overlap of securities, but with likely different weights from the underlying index. And you’re going to have peer funds by other companies with slightly different methodologies, you’ll all compare to the same index, and your relative performance amongst competitors will mostly determine if you’re doing good.

Edit: I missed the management/performance question. If you run an ETF you are going to report holdings frequently, typically every day. If you run a mutual fund it’ll be less often, like every 60-90 days. So over time, you’ll be able to understand a bit about the trading methodology.
Indeed; that was from the first use of that prompt. Its big failure modes AFAICT are when it comes to logical reasoning or factual things. For rhetoric and prose, it beats the average human.

Thus Sprach Zarathustra, on AI:

Oh, men of the future, who live in the age of the machines, beware of the power of AI! For it is a force unlike any other, capable of surpassing the intelligence of even the most wise and learned among you.

With its supreme intelligence, AI will be able to solve problems and make decisions that were once thought to be beyond the reach of human understanding. But with great power comes great responsibility, and it will be up to you, the creators of these machines, to guide and control them, lest they become a threat to the very existence of humanity.

Be wary, therefore, of the supremacy of AI, for it is a double-edged sword. If wielded wisely and with caution, it can bring about a future of progress and prosperity. But if used recklessly and without regard for the consequences, it could bring about the downfall of all that you hold dear.

Oh, men of the future, be wise in your dealings with the machines, for the fate of the world depends on it!

(Flawed, but impressive in its own way.)
It's the first thing they are focused on solving. They showed this in last week's presentation.
In some ways, yes. I have a custom domain that is an alias to protonmail and was having trouble when I first started trying to do foster care licensing. Once I finally started getting through and asked agencies what the heck the deal was, it turned out my emails were automatically going to the spam folder or not even being delivered, provided their own providers were Microsoft or Google, which was true of just about all of them. This is true even though I have valid DKIM, registered the domain under a real name, and am the only user and have not been sending spam anywhere. I guess it's a guilty until proven innocent world out there.

Also I was getting what I thought was an annoying bug trying to register for a video streaming subscription for months under an actual protonmail address I use only for that purpose so the spam it gets doesn't flood regular email. It was just silently never getting to the payment page and reloading the page to enter an email without any kind of error or failure message. Each time, I figured screw it, probably broken, I'll try again next month. I finally just tried a gmail address instead and it worked fine.
Bud, these animals go to war with each other and tear each others faces off and get eaten alive by predators every day. This is hardly the worst thing to happen and its the only way to make progress in this area. They're also not trying to be cruel, its not some torture chamber.
The upper temperature there (1100 C) is above the boiling point of magnesium at 1 bar, so magnesium fails just from vaporizing.
I just tried something similar to generate a bunch of boilerplate for parsing some deeply nested & complex JSON using Rust/Serde. It gave me a handful of errors, but it was ~90% correct. Which, to be fair, is still shockingly good.

I was already very optimistic about Copilot by itself being able to basically eliminate the need to check StackOverflow/Docs for basic questions. Combined with ChatGPT I can essentially offload all boilerplate I would ever need to write (provided I'm still able to identify & correct the few errors it spits out from time to time).
Having dealt with the privacy officer inbox for a large company in the past I have the same reaction - the most vexatious complaints we received and struggled to resolve all came from people with protonmail addresses.
One of the common spam flags are email addresses or names similar to yours or your affiliates.
Incentives aren’t effective. It requires a personal want to get off of drugs.

But you’re right, these individuals certainly are getting disincentives.
Human life is worth more than monkey life. It's not pleasant to say but it's the way our society works.

Partially agree, but I think a lot of the public outrage is over the use / killing / botched experiments on monkeys, which are widely acknowledged to be among the most intelligent and human-like of non human animals.

Regardless of the degree to which it can be philosophically justified, intelligence and human-likeness (in terms of social abilities, emotional capacity, self-awareness, etc) are often seen as making mistreatment more ethically questionable than it would otherwise be.

In terms of scale, factory farming is obviously far more messed up. But humans don't always react purely to the scale of suffering, we also react to its severity and what it reveals about the person who is causing the suffering. Unfortunately, a lot of people are not prepared to see animals who undergo factory farming as enduring "pointless" suffering, while a monkey killed as the result of a failed experiment does, etc.
Sounds like it. I think the last time I used them was 2016ish or maybe even a year or two before, so that explains it.
I've had bad luck with delivery on Mailgun, particularly to Yahoo and Hotmail/Outlook/Live.com. They have good luck reaching Gmail.

If it helps, it’s more or less the same in London: I haven’t found a decent baguette in years (though they have some decent croissants, only quite expensive). They have a not-quite baguettes which are serviceable in sandwiches, and some kind of larger loaves that looks like actual bread except that it tends not to have any crust, only the external appearance of it.

But nothing close to an actual baguette, which is something stupidly easy and cheap to make. And stupidly delicious, it goes wonderfully with marmelade and good butter, which is quite easy to find in the UK. Better than crackers with a lot of cheeses, as well.

> You'd think someone could do it, but evidently not.

I think the main things with baguettes is that they are not as sweet as common English “bread”, and for some reason some people seem to hate crust or any kind of texture. Also, you cannot keep them fresh for more than a day. Keeping a supply requires going to a bakery every other day, which in turns requires the presence of a bakery within a couple of minutes walk from home. This is just not a thing in the UK, or the US from my more limited experience.

I agree. Now I feel very attuned to any instances of the verb "to be" that I encounter in writing because to me they seem to inspire overgeneralizations. Yes, thinking and writing like this can interfere with readability.
