We really need to one of the two things happen. Either the models are somehow able to run in regular CPU DRAM or we see the GPU makers to finally give us sensible amounts of VRAM. It's a travesty that a card I bought in 2016 still has more VRAM than many of the flagships being sold today. This card is 7 years old for goodness sake!

So these things interfere with genetic operations in the cell, including cancerous cells. There's some evidence linked showing they enhance cancer treatments. Radiotherapy works by inducing cell and DNA damage in cancer cells, and these siDNA hurt their ability to repair themselves.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrachromosomal_circular_DNA

Circular strands of DNA that live outside the chromosome which are those X and Y things, a condensed form of DNA. Like a little DNA module floating about in the cell. What if you could develop new modules and deliver them to people's cells via viruses or something?

Bacteria already have this capability - and more.

Some of its friends died, releasing useful plasmids into the environment? They'll just absorb it. They're like the Mega Men of microbiology. Things die and they absorb their powers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_conjugation

Produce a literal pipe to transfer your antibiotic resistance super powers to your friend.

Finally:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transduction_(genetics)

Virus infects bacteria and adds its genetic material to it to make it produce copies. Those copies end up carrying some bacterial DNA in them though. This leads to some viruses turning into a DNA injection mechanism that transfer plasmids to other bacteria. Perhaps scientists will figure out how to use them to deliver DNA to our cells instead.

For me the big advantage was just never having to think about sync conflicts ever again, which happened to me often enough to be annoying. There's also things like the browser integration is more streamlined, using the bitwarden CLI is convenient in some of my automation, and while android supports syncthing, android has always been a bit less reliable in desktop platforms in allowing syncthing to run in the background or in allowing other apps to know that syncthing has updated a file.

Spring already bumped base to java 17, and the plan is to improve the internals, but changing public APIs is a different story.

Still, other options appear everyday so you don't have to use Spring. But yeah, glaciar speed, but with that comes low churning rate and old stuff needing very low maintenance.

OpenAI isn't really open. It's an opaque black box with no transparency as to how it works, apart from surface-level details of how it works. I imagine when something similar to OpenAI, (like some skunk-works garage project) gets released on GitHub and we have full insight into how it works, OpenAI's days will be over. We need insight into these things, otherwise it's another closed ecosystem we have to blindly trust.

What De-Dollarization? The Dollar Rules the World
Max gives an example of what he considers a present AI failure: social media recommendation algorithms. He argues that these algos optimize engagement behaviours by exposing users to content that makes them angry, confirms previous biases. It has been suggested that a lot of the culture wars in the West from the last decade are a direct result of social media recommendation models. You could imagine that given time and the right circumstances, these could lead to collapse of a nation, gradually or climatically through civil war.

That is an example on non-agential AI causing systemic harm to humanity. Agential could cause more of the same, but in novel ways. There is also new potential for terroristic applications. And while no one event might be society breaking, the ability to scale up to many concurrent agents could be death by a thousand cuts.

That is some short term stuff I can think of. Long term, it really depends on the capabilities of the AI. If a weak AI (not AGI) doesn't collapse our global civ, then I suspect an AGI would manipulate our communications and infrastructure to some purpose, which could create an environment increasingly less conducive to humans. I'm not sure how valuable it really is make specific claims of what exactly that might look like. The important part is the reasoning that an AGI's motives likely don't align with humans (unless we learn how to enforce alignment) and it will be very capable at manipulating the technology and humans (because we are essentially training it do be able to do these things).
Didn't CSGO have something like that with their Prime account status? From what I've seen it wasn't very effective, people will gladly spend obscene amounts of money for an unfair advantage and/or to ruin other players' fun. It might cut down on people using blatant hacks in place of more subtle ones though.
The cloud of probable location is the magnitude of the electron's wavefunction, as I understand it. So they're the same thing, but there's extra information in there too beyond simply position (wavefunctions are complex-valued, not real-valued). Source: Dimly remembered undergrad physics.
There are features that improve device virtualisation. Things like SR-IOV allowing for multiple virtual functions on a single device, and ATS which (among other things) means that device memory doesn’t need to be pinned. The issue is that these features are at best supported on expensive data centre devices.
Again I say “so what?”. The unit is one hit away from death either way, and the player will know it.

There's a bunch of people on Mastadon who swear search is the devil & will defederate & call you evil incarnate & curse your name if you so much as hint that you might be thinking about building search.

I worry the impact this will have long term. Both economically as a lot are taken out of the workforce or remain but with less function. And socially as we have this bigger pool of people we need to care for (and likely fail to care for). It’s remarkable it’s been ignored but turning it into a culture war for short term political gain seems to have made any serious discussion about it impossible now. Just look how immediately comments about masking in this discussion were grayed out.

If 7 bit memory cells were suddenly cheap, we could build a hexagonal computer with 7 bit “bytes” where each byte has another 6 around it. Repeat with each ring with another set of the last group.

We would have a hierarchy of hexagonal cells. Maybe this could make for a numbering system. Since this could also represent real number in base 7
The idea that Tesla has high margin because their final assembly is not as perfect as BMW is complete nonsense. They have high margin because of advanced manufacturing, vertical integration, cheap battery supply and so on.

Also, the evidence for Tesla having much worse quality (the reports) shows that they are only marginally worse then everybody else. Nowwhere near far enough to make a 30% margin difference.

In a time before HTTPS (which wasn’t too long ago), this would have been a lot more concerning. Of course, the extraction of a target IP may be interesting, but a device currently sends so many requests once it connects to the internet, anything from Apple/MS to all and every piece of software checking for updates… it sounds quite hard to nail the right timing and get a spicy result out of this. And once the attack happens, the target is disconnected and that was your one shot, no? Also, the URL params, headers, Cookies, etc are all encrypted at this point.

Not to diminish the effort and write up, I fully get how exciting this is to discover, but it feels a bit more at home in a bug report for router firmware. Am I missing something?

Yeah, I understand, it's just annoying to me that most of the things we have now in our culture that we rely on are so replaceable and need to be replaced fairly regularly, it feels like it's no longer the case as you get older, you can be more settled in life as you have bought and have all you need, that's not the case because you have to replace it fairly regularly.

Also I suppose, i'm sit here using my iMac now and it runs everything without a glitch, as good as when it was new, likely better because of the updates to the software, so it's just disappointing to see that it could go to waste. I usually like to wait until things break before replacing them, so already debating replacing a perfectly functional machine hurts a little. Hopefully I will get a few more years out of it.

I guess a big shame is not being able to plug a Mac Mini into the display, but that is on me, I knew that was the case when I bought it.

p.s Windows 11 support was the TPM chip? I believe that is relatively easy to get around? Could be wrong here, but I think it was mostly a move from MS to make people update to a highly level of security, but again it's not really needed.
I wasn't trying to name "great" cross-platform apps. The question was "what is a cross platform app".

Is Chrome or Firefox a cross-platform app or not, regardless of how they shitty they may or may not be?

> Photoshop has a shit ton of Cocoa and before that Carbon on the Mac. While the processing engine may be cross platform. The UI is mostly “native”.

Every GUI application that runs on macOS has a "shit ton of Cocoa" inside it. There's essentially no other way to create a GUI app for macOS, regardless of the toolkit you use. There's a separate question like "are the buttons drawn by Cocoa, or app-specific, or toolkit specific?" but I regard that as a separate question.
> But what is fundamentally causing these environments?

With the caveat that this doesn't contain an answer, cf. cited studies https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8469745/ ("inflammation, difficulty in gas exchange in the lungs and thrombosis" during early infection causes a self-reinforcing cycle of metabolic acidosis: decrease in blood pH leads to decrease in oxygen saturation, which exacerbates the acidosis) and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32738466/ (increased general COVID-19 vulnerability correlating with increased lactate dehydrogenase levels).

The OP study suggests in the broader context that a person more prone to acidosis is more likely to have a much longer and worse experience with COVID. This isn't necessarily news because acidosis was already well correlated with worse short-term COVID outcomes, but if treating the acidosis can substantially treat the symptoms of PASC/long COVID - which one of the authors attempts to experimentally prove on the smallest meaningful sample size of herself - then identifying and treating the cause of _pre-infection_ acidosis risk factors might reduce the likelihood and potency of long COVID.

COVID's already been shown to have a harmful effect on renal health post-illness: https://journals.lww.com/jasn/fulltext/2021/11000/kidney_out..., https://www.nature.com/articles/s41581-021-00487-3

And a strong correlation to both complications in diabetic patients and as a potential cause of diabetes: https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/library/reports/reportcard/diab...

And since two of the strongest causes of metabolic acidosis are poor renal health and poorly managed diabetes, it feels like there's a case for at least experimentally trying to treat long COVID with a combination of renal nutrition (low-acid/high-alkaline diet, more alkaline-forming foods, alkaline water, less alcohol, more sodium citrate or bicarbonate) and pre-diabetic treatment (stop smoking, exercise, increase low-starch vegetable intake, treat high blood pressure).

Or tl;dr: eat all brussels sprouts and carrots, go play outside more, and stop eating and drinking so much crap. Preferably before you get COVID, but especially after.
Is it being treated any better or worse than the dozens of other "big problems" we collectively have to deal with? Are we moving heaven and earth to stop sexual assaults? Or Fentanyl overdoses? Or cardiac deaths? Or youth suicide? Or mass shootings? It seems like there is only a finite amount of friction we can endure en masse to mitigate the problems that plague our health and well-being. If anything, I see several other issues in more urgent need of greater sacrifices on all our parts than long COVID.

Or you assign and track serial numbers yourself, like people do with, say, literally every other object in every large scale operation in the history of humanity?

For that reason exist (e)SIMs, bar codes, qr codes, serial numbers in general, serial numbers of assemblies, serial numbers of sub-assemblies, serial numbers of parts, etc. You don't need a manufacturer to give something a serial number?

I disagree mainly because I don't think the government can be considered to have done this job sharing information by posting it on a signup required, private platform, regardless of convenience.

Unlike your study from November 2020, this one is from January 2023.
How about the attitude of businesses? They want you to run as much of non-free code as possible, especially banks. Need to run a non-free is not compatible with the idea of open filesystem which make people afraid about corrupting something. That's why people do not request a terminal and developers do not develop it.
Sure, but you can pivot to various things. If you're running with the right set of privileges, you can disable branch policies and push unreviewed code changes into a repository, or you can exfiltrate code from a repo someone has cloned to their dev box, or hit the internal payroll site and make that employee's direct deposits go to your account.
Ah, I understand now this is a particular axe you are grinding. You are in to deep for me to engage.
Yeah, to be honest, I would be happy if I could buy another product such as the mini and then plug it into the display, but sadly not supported, there are some third party ways of doing this, but I am not sure they are so great.

I actually use my iMac with my windows laptop for work, by plugging in a video capture device via USB and going via HDMI to the laptop, it works okay, but i'm not sure i'd want to run a shiny new Mac this way.

I don’t think a collage is the right way to describe it, because it implies that it’s literally parts of the training data copied together which a lot of people think but it’s a lot more indirect than that, but I agree that it’s not a photo because a photo is of a real thing

It’s more like the training data is used to score the generated images against to guide it into producing something that looks similar to a real image
That's not an explanation. If you wear a mask, you're protecting yourself. You can even wear a more comfortable mask with a vent, which became anathema due to your "explanation".
>Immunocompromised people existed before covid yet they weren't walking around like Darth Vader.

It's almost like there's a serious and highly infectious virus still circulating. Perhaps one that has a reputation for seriously harming or killing immunocompromised people.

>When is it going to end?

Better question, why do _you_ care when _others_ decide to stop wearing a mask?

This is like a non-asthmatic person criticizing someone with asthma for living in fear by carrying their inhaler in their pocket. When is asthma going to end? Surely they can't just carry around an inhaler for the rest of their lives, right?

>They cannot continue to live the rest of their lives in fear, it's debilitating to their mental health. However social media has enabled this behaviour.

Yet you're here on social media stressing about other people choosing to wear masks. Honestly for many people it's second nature at this point. Other countries like Japan had people wearing masks in public long before 2020.

So, right-wing means wrong? He cites a study in the first line of the article.
> After continuing this makeshift treatment for a couple of weeks, I improved to a point where I was completely and stably symptom free.Since then I’ve been working with Dr. Jeremy Rossman to put this mechanism on paper, so that it can be shared and further researched, tested, and proven.

Counting down seconds to articles spinning this as "CURE FOR LONG COVID MAY HAVE BEEN FOUND", someone who thinks they have long COVID "does their own research" and starts drinking gallons of pH buffering solution. I'm excited and happy for the researcher but if we've learned anything about COVID treatments in the past few years, it's that desperate people will do desperate things (eg hydrochloroquine) well after they've been shown to be harmful. I think it'd be nice to not get too many people's hopes up yet.
That only works if they are using blatant instant snap-on aimhacks - which I fully agree should be checked for since that's one obvious target. If the aimbot is a bit more sophisticated where it mimics mouse movement though I don't see how that would work.
