The USB 2.0 speeds are a big deal.

If your iCloud Drive is full and your phone is full, your wired backup that should take 20 minutes is going to take 14 hours.

I hope the EU forces their hand on putting USB-C in at USB 3 or Thunderbolt speeds.
The market I'm targeting (which may or may not exist) is non-technical. They can be expected to conceptually understand things like data ownership, e2e encryption, privacy, etc, but setting up ZeroTier would be beyond them. Again, the phone app model. Go to the app store, select NextCloud, install. It's up and running and secure by default. No CLI, no port forwarding, no DNS management, no IP addresses. Just install and use it like any other app, except it's running on your hardware and (preferably) a domain you control.

They're talking about the completion assistants that any software engineer has. When I write my code, a small army of completion assistants yell possible textual completions around me. I pick one of them and move on.

1) Criminals work in groups to steal iPhones. One person will watch you or take a video of you entering your passcode, another person will snatch the phone from you.

2) Within 3 minutes, the criminals will use the phone passcode to reset your Apple ID password, change the trusted phone number of your Apple ID, and set a recovery key.

3) Now they can deactivate "Find my iPhone"

4) And they can log out all your other devices, lock them, or even erase them remotely

5) Now you have no way to access your iCloud account, and the thieves have completely taken over your digital identity

6) Using passwords saved on the phone, and with SMS 2FA, they can now transfer money from all your accounts

7) Using other data stored on your phone (eg. in photos), they can apply for Apple Credit Card and use that to steal more money from you

Joanna Stern recommends these steps steps:

1) Use a complex passcode

2) Use a 3rd party password manager with a different passcode

3) Check your photos to make sure there are no photos of sensitive documents

It's so interesting to me that interleaved practice is an effective learning technique, that's probably the single method of study I used consistently throughout my entire schooling. Slightly bored of one subject? Okay switch to the next. Bored of this one? Switch to the next. CONSTANT context switching. I thought I was "cheating the system" by making my homework more interesting, who knew I was learning more effectively by employing a (moderately) effective study habit!

I'm a mostly backend engineer with lots of experience making REST APIs, data pipelines (streaming and batch), etc. I am comfortable with relational an non-relational dbs (pg/redis). I've been getting really acquainted with Rust the past couple years and finding a Rust role would be pretty cool. I'm also very interested in aerospace and would love to work with some stuff that flies. I'm a private pilot and pretty handy with CAD and some hardware manufacturing techniques.
IMO, the way to structure things is around the "usage requirements" model where a target declares everything needed to know how to "use" the target. Flags, libraries, includes, etc. The guide[1] goes through the basics at least; it can get a lot more complex with generator expression usage.

Pretty exciting to see they are bringing back a tablet to their product offerings. The rk3566 SoC has very good mainline kernel support so far, and even mainline TF-A and U-Boot support is progressing along. The $160 price tag for the 4GB version kind of makes it a no brainer from my POV.

The 8GB version I am personally avoiding. Even though the cost difference is just $50, the SoC has some implementation flaws that only show when it is configured with >4GB of RAM. Hopefully these issues are fixed on rk3588, but rk356x really shouldn't be shipped or purchased with >4GB of RAM IMO.
There are sound technical reasons to give the index special treatment.

First, the index is very large, and it only ever gets larger over time. I just cloned and compressed the crates.io index (https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index), which resulted in a 58 MB archive (note that I did remember to delete the .git directory).

Second, the index changes very often. Every time anyone ever publishes a new version of a package, that changes the index. For crates.io, this happens hundreds or thousands of times per day.

Third, the index is append-only.

Fourth, the index is extremely frequently requested. Any time the user manually asks for an update, or any time the user adds a new dependency, the local copy of the index needs to be updated.

Putting it all together, since the index is constantly changing and since users will constantly be asking for the latest version, this means that it would be very inefficient to serve the whole thing each time. Instead, a fine-grained solution is more efficient. In the early days of crates.io, this problem was solved by just storing the index in a git repo and letting git take care of fetching new diffs to the index (and the problem of "who pays for hosting" was solved by using Github). Now that the crates.io index is outgrowing this solution, it's moving to a more involved protocol where clients will not have local copies of the full index, but instead will only lazily fetch individual index entries as necessary, which is much faster (especially for fresh installs (including every CI run!)).

OpenAI is not for profit. It's capped profit.

Inventing AGI, which Sam Altman and Greg Brockman believe they can do, would make them our species' first trillionaires. Their personal net worths would rival the GDPs of several G8 nations.

If they cared so much about money, why would they intentionally limit their upside to 100x? I have not heard a single good answer.
Agree, but I would definitely caution with getting your advice from YouTube. There are many, many home improvement YTers that give incorrect/dangerous advice. This isn't limited to small channels with Joe Blow working on his house; I've seen NEC violations galore and general bad practices on some of the larger DIY/contractor channels. If you get beyond the basic 'replace a light switch' level, the NEC often contains levels of ambiguity and dependencies on other rules that you might not be aware apply. It's also written in a legalese style that takes some time to be able to penetrate the jargon.

Just take a look at electrician forums or even Stack Exchange to see how seemingly simple things result in arguments.
This is BS. My good friend moved to California from Taiwan during high school. She struggled in all her classes (because she barely spoke english ("struggle" means she actually had to put in effort to get an "A")), but she excelled in math. She told me that she was an average student in Taiwan, but when she moved to the US, she suddenly became a math genius. She was in the highest level math class the school offered, and it was a breeze for her. So, nope, she didn't "drag down" the statistics - in fact, just the opposite.

Hydrogen fuel cells can be made to work, they're currently somewhat worse than lithium-ion batteries in terms of energy storage but it's not completely hopeless.

On the other hand, hydrogen combustion is an inefficient process that uses an astonishingly bulky, expensive fuel that needs to be compressed to absurd pressures and has no realistic use case - except to give petrolheads hope that things don't have to change and to kick the can down the road while continuing to burn fossil fuels.

I've thought about that one for a long time. A long time ago I was reading proceedings of TREC trying to understand why Google was so much better than the search engines I knew how to build. TREC is pretty depressing because you find that 95% of the things you might think would improve search rankings do not. Particularly before BM25 was developed people tried indexing sub documents and consolidating them and consistently struck out.

Since BERT came out there is a considerable literature of people struggling mightily to combine transformer representations of document parts into a whole that convinces me that one could spend a few lifetimes pushing a bubble around underneath that rug.

I think the best argument for your case is that people seem to get along just fine with a limited short term memory. I'd temper that with the observation that a person writing a summary is actually doing a multiple stage process in which their short term memory is attending to part of what they are writing, part of what they are reading, and they are building long term memory structures at the same time. So there is a lot going on.

In the sense that abstracts work well for information retrieval and that many of them would fit in the GPT attention window or only be a little bigger you could make the case that a fixed-size structure could be highly useful for IR.

On the other hand, many documents, such as scientific papers, are considerably bigger than the current attention window and direct summarization of a single document via transformer will still need a bigger window, more like 40,000 tokens.

A lot of things in the literature are complex, muddy, contradictory or all of the above. (Try a question like "What did Freud think about narcissism?" or "What is the clinical relevance of Bleuler's concept of ambivalence?" or "Tell me about cosmic inflation" or "What is the dark matter particle?")

Hard cases really do require matching up parts of document A with parts of document B and certainly having them in the same attention window would help an LLM do that in a natural way.

It might be completely impractical, not just because of computational scalability but possibly more fundamental scalability limits. (I'm not sure a person with a 10x bigger short term memory would really be able to solve problems better than the average person... There are transformers with a 500,000 token attention window today and they suck.)

There could be some procedure where you cut documents up into pieces in various ways, extract critical context from documents A and B and other literature and also put in the parts you want to critique against each other, or even match up different parts of the same document to do the same. Maybe a small attention window could still be used to decompose documents into knowledge graphs but it is by no means trivial to reason over a KG once you have it.

What I do know today is that I have documents >4096 tokens that I want to retrieve, cluster and classify right now and transformers were not up to the task in Feb 2023, and I am hoping for some progress soon that will help.
> Starting today, OpenAI says that it won’t use any data submitted through its API for “service improvements,” including AI model training, unless a customer or organization opts in. In addition, the company is implementing a 30-day data retention policy for API users with options for stricter retention “depending on user needs,” and simplifying its terms and data ownership to make it clear that users own the input and output of the models.

How do these compare to the recent Default ("turbo") vs legacy" (for plus/pro) modes?

Also an overlooked point is diversification: Apple's chip aspirations have allowed functionality that isn't trivially/inexpensively possible with standard parts. This also makes copying any unique ideas much more difficult, since competitors can't just approach the chipmaker for the same part.

Apple could very well bring innovations to cellular modems that make their products behave more seamlessly or are simpler to use. Additionally they may introduce features that aren't currently possible with Qualcomm's designs.

SEEKING FREELANCER(s) - Remote (Europe Ideally) - Web Dev + UI/UX Design

(Contact info in profile, telegram preferred)

I'm building twirrl.co. Twirrl makes it simple to capture and embed rich 360° content to help people understand your items and spaces better.

It's a self-funded project (bootstrapped) while working another contract.

Developer:

It's written in SvelteKit + a GraphQL API (Both in Typescript) + Android and iOS apps. I'm currently looking for help on the SvelteKit + GraphQL.

Since I'm bootstrapping how many hours per week will be dependent on your rate (since I have to budget). I also have a junior software developer from Ukraine helping me -- he's very smart but very inexperienced.

So at least a little part of it would be helping him along is his programming journey (which has been fun for me so far).

I'm not super stressed if you've done svelte(kit) before so long as you have experience with a similar framework (React, Vue, etc), this could be a good opportunity to get experience with an up-and-coming framework.

Designer:

As to the UI/UX designer, I've had a little bit of design work done but would like to work with someone long-term part-time. Figma is preferred.
Yes, 2-4 web servers. And it's not like they are using most expensive configuration, just 4 vCPU per node. CPU utilization is below 20%, so it could even run on a single node, but that's not good for availability.

Why is that so surprising? Nobody sane does anything CPU-intensive in their webapps.

I've heard these studies referenced before, but studies have limitations and I wonder if there is some form of early childhood education that can lead to statistically meaningful improvements down the road, just not approaches that happen top have been studied.

I have been saying this since the release of Stable Diffusion that OpenAI is going to struggle as soon as competitors release their models as open source especially when it surpasses GPT-3 and GPT-4.

This is why OpenAI is rushing to bring their costs down and to make it close to free, However, Stable Diffusion is leading the race to the bottom and is already at the finish line, since no-one else would release their model as open-source and free other than them.

As soon as someone releases a free and open-source ChatGPT equivalent, then this will be just like what happened to DALLE-2. This is just a way of them locking you in, then once the paid competitors cannot compete and shut down, then the price increases come in.
@PaulSec, Why didn't you move to blue team side of things? It may have been more enjoyable catching actual threat actors and learning the latesr tech/platform/attack sp you can defend against it. Glad it worked out for you though.

I almost can't imagine not working in infosec, it might feel like losing a limb I think. It's not the assembly, exploits,etc... that does it for me but how I am never bored and always learning something new. The feeling when you find a compromise by sophisticated actor or even stop a compromise in progress, even if no one ever hears about it is amazing. I did networking and other types of jobs that were great too but eventually you master those more or less and start to get bored. I suspect pentesting is similar in that you learn new techniques all the time but the vulns you find are still the same stuff more or less? I have no idea, just guessing. I guess what I am trying to say is how rare it is to find someone with passion for infosec that applies themselves and how broad the industry is (maybe you might enjoy being an instructor or manager?) and how any job in infosec would love to have you because of your background.
You don't have to, but they will have been optimized for one model. It's unlikely they'll work as well on a different model.
