I find it even more convenient to just add my user account to the correct group. Now I can call tcpdump anytime without having to invoke sudo. I get more security and convenience at the same time, so why not do it? I recommend giving the nmap binary the right capabilities for exactly the same reason.

Sure, the attack surface of tcpdump is much smaller than wireshark, so the issue is not as pronounced, but wireshark indeed had a lot of vulnerabilities in the past: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-4861...

It has tons of dissectors which aren't nearly as battle tested as my network stack.

Debatable at least in case of smaller dictatorships like North Korea, Eritrea, Qatar ...
the three steps you mention do not operate like that, in reality.

1 - most news is published by one of a few conglomerates. It is impossible to be competitive in this space without a staggeringly large bankroll, and most 'competition' is just the illusion of, not the genuine article. An example of this is the chairman of the Associated Press (nominally a non profit news organization) also being the CEO of Hearst Communications (named for William Randolph Hearst - one of those conglomerates I'm referring to)

2 - Things getting in between your opinion (that is, anyone's opinion) and enacted policy: first-past-the-post elections, the two party system, gerrymandering, the Senate (unless you live in Vermont, Wyoming, or one of the Dakotas), the DNC, the RNC, primaries, voting happening on a single day, voting not being a national holiday, the supreme court, relying on representatives rather than voting directly, corporations are people, and money buys elections.This list is incomplete but touches on most of the key players. You get the picture.

3 - Not quite sure where to start with this. see (1) and (2) above.

The thing is, it's a really complicated mess and like any sufficiently complex system, it's nearly impossible to reason about without making some deep assumptions. For a light introduction to the scope of the situation, I recommend reading Republic Lost, by Lawrence Lessig. He's a constitutional scholar who started talking about all this before the system started to show late-stage symptoms of what's probably terminal cancer, from a societal perspective.
What ways are you thinking of? They could have incorporated and posted losses for 2? straight years before the IRS started auditing; those losses could have been deducted against this revenue. What other angles are there?
Good for them. I'm so glad to see decades of hard work be rewarded.
I disagree. I don’t care much about what is profound. I think most of it is not. Things that we call profound are really just astute observations of patterns in the real world, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

However profundity doesn’t need to factor into the debate of whether ai should or should not be allowed to train on things. If we allow humans to copy things, then Humans ought to be allowed to copy things with dumb non sentient ai too.

Ai in the current state is just a tool, much like a paint brush.

Cue the inevitable appeal to copying exact works, rebuttals to training on human painted mimicries and then bam, you’ve got the authors special style learned by the model with extra steps.

It’s annoying and pointless.

Art that is merely visually intriguing is not very interesting. If an artist makes something without a particular idea to communicate, it’s just aesthetics. It is not profound. If an artist has an idea and creates a work that represents it, then maybe it is profound. But it doesn’t matter if it was made with paint or a computer. The idea is the profound thing. AI is not sentient. It’s still the user.

The appeals to pareidolia are wrong. Synthesis of ideas from past data is natural. But the AI does not choose things. What you’re really complaining about is creation of art from apparent randomness. Not the AI model alone but monkeys on a typewriter getting something compelling from the AI.

What do we do when the tools are so powerful that a monkey creates a profound work that the monkey doesn’t understand? Shrug.

> If you truly believe all that, what are you doing to minimise the inevitable damage?

I'm not doing anything, in particular, I don't know what to do about it ?

I could say that I "do my research" but I don't, because I don't know how to do that withing the framework of not trusting what I read.

I probably use my personal version of common sense, which of course is biased and lacking.. For instance, with the covid masks, I ignored the media arguments from both sides, and thought "if it's in the air, a mask might trap some particles, it might reduce my chance of spreading it or catching it".. I didn't believe the studies that said it was inefficient because I know doctors are using masks during surgery, and Japanese during common cold, so, I know they're at least not going to be detrimental.

I'm old enough that I learned a lot of stuff before the information apocalypse.. I try to apply my understanding of the world to selecting a course of action, but I also understand that it will be imperfect.

I listen to arguments and try to apply my own rationale in deciding whether to believe them.. But we all do that.. I don't take statements as facts at face value because I don't know how they were derived, I will try to think about how plausible it is, together with the sources and my existing knowledge.. Of course I will fail.

Yeah, I believe it but I don't know what can be done about it. I put more confidence in some sources than other, but I don't believe anything to be 100% true simply based on the source..
We experimented with decentralized networks during our university classes and one of the professors described this, basically you can form a phased array with loads of small senders in perfect timewise sync, sending slightly delayed. Its very energy intensive though. The sending and the high resolution clockworks. (Similar to gps recieving).

Funny sidenode: We found out that almost every building has a huge central antenna, called elevator ropes & shaft. Attach a wifi router to that and everyone in the building can overcrowd that one central wifi.

Good times.
> Which are blocked from pulling from Github?

In the case that they're blocked: They'd only need one unrestricted computer to pull their libraries into & subsequently copy that onto siloed off workstations. It's not like anyone will actually care to notice.

In the case that they aren't blocked: Business as usual.
It works https://re-actor.net/dwarf-fortress-how-to-run-the-game-on-m...

But you need the actual files downloaded obviously. So you either have to have a PC where you can download the game files from Steam (Windows VM works too) and then copy over to your Mac. Or you can buy the game from itch.io (it's the same but you also get self-extracting archive + you get a Steam key as well) https://kitfoxgames.itch.io/dwarf-fortress

This is a precise description of what happened in the UK since then.

I shouldn’t have to say that, but she doesn’t owe anything to anybody and she is free to criticise the UK (and being quite spot on), whatever happened to her family 100 years ago.

Sure. I just mentioned crypto because that's what I'm familiar with, and there's already some infrastructure in place to facilitate it. But you will likely need to sign messages posted online - crypto or with your encryption key.
C and Unix came on to the scene and they were free beer (for all pratical purposes), so they won over the other stuff that cost lots of green paper.

Had AT&T been allowed to profit from their Bell Labs research projects, and history would have been quite different, as proven when they went after Lions commentary book and BSD, shortly after been allowed again to profit from their research.
This is quite the rabbit hole because many people believe falsehoods that believe they have a right to spread. This is why Musk bought Twitter in the first place.

The reason some conservatives want to regulate social media companies like utilities: 1) these companies have made a lot of money in spite of preventing the spread of fake news 2) all conservative leaning platforms have been rejected by the public.

> Wikipedia is not pro-free speech. They are advocates of "woke" culture and have censored/altered/etc many wikipedia articles. Any wikipedia article that was critical of western "religion" ( wokism, lgbt, zionism, etc ) are removed, edited, altered, etc.

The western religion is capitalism. The things you mention are statistical anomalies. Most of the people complaining probably don't even know any LGBT people because they live relatively insular lives (and even then don't have any conflict with them). It seems strange to get hung up on things that don't effect daily life.
Your suggestions are all british, Seinfeld is obviously american. Maybe what the other person was trying to say was "Seinfeld was the first good american sitcom".

Maybe it's the typical US = The World issue :)
There are many small entities with interest in such a technology which don't have huge budgets. Small terrorist / extremist organizations pushing a specific agenda.

Countries like China can no doubt develop this independently, but they are unlikely to share the technology with random extremists.

i am not a telegram user (was one years ago but have deleted the account back in 2018 i think,)

telegram does NOT advertise E2EE by default. it does not say it doesn't honor governmental requests for users data.
case in point, https://techcrunch.com/2022/09/01/indian-court-orders-telegr...

indian high court orders telegram to disclose copyright violators details in order for the rights holder to prosecute them so its not like telegram has refused to accept their demand.

https://nypost.com/2022/08/09/facebook-gave-teens-private-me...

recently facebook gave away a teen's abortion details to the police which got her in soup.

How is what is facebook doing fine by americans, because fb/meta is american and so whatever they do is automatically fine but god forbid someone else does the same thing.

someone will say "but law is like that, facebook has to share those details". well that applies to telegram also in russia so how is that different?

why do you have double standards for everything non-american and moreso if that happens to be india/iran/china/russia or any country that is currently on the american naughty list?
Instead of blocking technology, what about addressing the root problem: People need to understand concepts such as "chain of trust".

Do you trust videocall participants because you recognize their faces and voices? ...Or because a server certified by a root CA has authenticated the other participants?

Quite simply it's a competitor to the dollar, which is illegal within the US. You cannot issue currency in the US, to my knowledge.
I don't consider this hypocritical at all. It's like getting mad at a soccer team. "Hey they were trying to score goals, but at the same time, preventing the other team from scoring goals! Hypocrites!"
Sounds like people who earn more money can opt into a less costly risk pool, and people who earn less are forced into a more costly risk pool?

And because this was becoming too lopsided, they sacrificed the newest generation of higher income workers by requiring they be in the costlier risk pool for a few years?

You’re speaking to the wrong audience. “Someone else would do it anyway” is how everyone here justifies doing unethical shit at FAANG and refusing to earn less than $300k/yr base because “that’s just the industry”. I have no respect for anyone that says this shit with a straight face.

What difference between that AI generated texts and almost the same text, but written by human? Both are just meaningless texts about nothing, to not leave cover letter field empty.
It depends on the circuit being stimulated but yes there is usually some sort of adaptation with enough exposures to a stimulus over a period of time. Long enough breaks can prevent it though

F# is a highly different language (at least from Python and Typescript) with additional concepts and I don't think you appreciate the problem for most companies to hire developers at all, let alone the kind of people who can hit a new language without a speed bump.
Aka bus factor. A term used to describe how many people can be hit by a bus before the company is screwed.
Side note about that: people doing amateur porn where their face doesn't show at all still get recognized because of particular marks on their skins. So this might help this very specific case, but maybe not as much as one would think.
> Why should people believe anything you say on this topic?

They shouldn't. I would just be glad if they would analyse my oppinion and try to understand what do I mean. Whenever I mention a fact they should check it if they consider it important.

> How can they know you're not a bot or a psy-ops troll working for Xi or Putin with the mission to undermine the very fabric of Democratic societies?

I am a psy-ops troll working for myself, my mission is to destroy unconscious beliefs, help people choose their own perception and beliefs counsciously, develop habits to exercise valid logic and become unmanipulatable and happy this way. Perhaps this indeed can undermine the fabric of Democratic societies. Democratic (let alone autocratic) is not free, it generally is a dictate of opportunist manipulators who manage to mesmerize the majority (while majority is never too bright). Isn't it?'

> As humans there are VERY FEW "facts" we can know from first principles

"A person looking like this is being shown on TV waying that right now" is a fact (not 100% reliable, perhaps I'v dreaming, but it most probably is). The statement he announces is not a fact, probably a lie. But now we can speculate about why would he say that now, given current context, how probable it is he is nit a deepfake and whether or not does this matter.

Only 5 different regular polyhedra forms can exist in euclidean 3D space - this is another fact.
Things have definitely gotten worse over the last decade.

Crime used to be less brazen and more limited to certain areas.
> So what? The fact is that the "free will" you appear to want to talk about does not and cannot exist, whereas the "free will" Dennett is talking about does exist and has important real-world consequences. So, to be blunt, why should I care about your preferred definition? What's the point of going on and on about something that doesn't and can't exist? Who cares?

Because it's a poor rhetorical tactic, one used quite often in this and other topics, that confuses the subject rather than adding clarity and mutual understanding. Redefining the subject of a debate in the middle of such a debate is a recipe for talking past one another (which these two have done at length multiple times and never seem to quite understand how much they're talking past one another, or at least never acknowledge it so as to "win" more) rather than coming to a better understanding. Neither one can be wrong or right because neither really acknowledges the other, they're just sort of talking about related (but different) subjects at the same time using the same term in different ways, to the consternation of passer bys who end up joining one camp or the other not realizing they can easily be in both.

> Telling people that they don't have free will, in real terms, amounts to telling them to suck it up while the evil, predatory people in the world, who know perfectly well that they do have free will and have no compunction about exercising it at others' expense, take all their goodies, instead of choosing to fight back.

That's not what it tells them at all, and indeed this is a common point of confusion that could be alleviated without all the talking past one another. A better synthesis would be:

- Acknowledge one does not directly author one's own thoughts (either by way of the vast literature of neuroscience or simply closely observing the nature of thought)

- Acknowledge the vast role of forces outside our direct individual control in our understanding of ourselves and others

- Acknowledge our ignorance of full causation of any given thought or action and the scoping differences of emergent systems

- Acknowledge regardless of the first two and because of the third at an individual and societal level there is very real meaning to responsibility and attribution of action to a locus of control (be that individual or grouping of individuals)

Compatibilism (of which Dennett is a proponent) more or less just says the 4th is actually compatible with the 1st. And that's completely reasonable, but we'd save a lot of time in these debates by taking great pains to acknowledge the difference in scope and context as opposed to arguing which one we want to call "free will."
How does OpenAI protect sensitive information that is sent to them? This seems like a scandal waiting to happen.
C was created to port Unix V6 into PDP-11 hardware, after a couple of failed attempts with B.
If someone makes a deepfake on their own computer, watches it, and doesn't share it with anybody, I don't see how that's markedly different (morally) from just imagining the same thing. Some people have a very strong visual imagination and others don't have it at all, it's only fair if they can use a technological substitute.

Also some entertainment works by artificially instilling a desire which cannot be fulfilled. If people can use deepfakes and masturbation to defuse that desire it might be a moral positive for them.
It should also be said that anyone that makes this argument immediately loses their right to complain when governments need to step in and regulate.
As I said this is not on a whim.

llvm/gcc devs do not realise that there is an issue with those compilers reaching a complexity and size fairly qualified as absurd and grotesque. Since it has been roughly 2 decades, I am finished to believe those devs are merely blinded by an accute lack of experience, that's why for me those devs are actually malicious for developer/vendor lock-in, that on top of the other big issue which is planned obsolescence (mostly syntax and compiler extensions). This is so accute that the other alternative, since I now exclude any accute lack of experience, would be to start questioning their sanity, and I think we are dealing with evil, not medical pathology.

I am very serious about this.
Each to their own. I’d be more than happy to write something for you pre-emptively if I was really keen at exploring your company, but I’m quite picky and also I’m in sales (of sorts) so if I think I have a good pitch or angle/approach that will give me an edge I’ll take it (as opposed to playing the random lottery) - similarly I’ll also see if we have mutual connections on LinkedIn or if I know your investors etc :) … all I’m saying is that people should think about how to improve their odds!
We should not have to live like this.
