To explain this in a way that people on this forum will understand: A currency relies on network effects. The dollar is kind of like twitter. It doesn't matter how much it fucks up, network effects ensure it's continuing dominance.

Actually the dominance of a currency is harder to challenge, since you can post the same text on both twitter and mastodon, but you can't invest the same money in both dollars and euros.

Yeah, exactly and the problem becomes that apps update and require a newer OS than you were able to run, happened to a lot of Discord users in the last week or so, when Discord upped the requirements of the app, but the app itself barely changed. So people have to pay up for an expensive new machine that doesn't do anything really that different to what they had before, just to be back at square one.
But that still informs the app of your choice, and many will disable themselves until you grant the precise location permission.
OP compromised more than one user's machine. So they could write the change on one machine, and send it to be reviewed and approved by another user.

I’ve heard of that as a wonder drug. It signals for blood flow and dilate blood vessels. There’s other supplements like l-arginine + citrulline that has similar effects but different mechanisms.
Personally, I think I want auditors to try to assess this.

There are certain risky / iffy coding practices (manual string manipulation in C, for example) that might or might not lead to actual security issues, depending on whether you make an error. If no actual security issues are found in an audit, that's good, but I want to know about the potential for them, too.

Yes, this is difficult to evaluate in an entirely objective manner, but I'd rather they just do their best because to me that's still better than no information.

In my experience on *nix (37 years, going back to SunOS), the paste board systems for X Window are very well defined, and the only UI frameworks that have "long had issues" with them are buggy and not widely used. Are you thinking of something in particular?

Security teams don't bear the costs of reduced productivity from saying no, but bear all the blame if they make a wrong decision to approve something. So they're heavily incentivized to say no.

Like many principal-agent problems, it requires someone appropriately situated to weigh the costs and benefits.

If that doesn't happen, it gets borne by someone, usually shareholders who pay in reduced profits and eventually capital destruction as these companies get ossified and disrupted.

I don't see how the ratio of dead Ukrainians to dead Russians is relevant to the utility of winning this war. It can also be construed as an argument for increased funding, because the Ukrainians are losing so badly.

In my view, curtailing Russian expansion is the point of the war, and Ukrainian lives are unfortunately one cost of doing so. It's important that Ukrainians are participating in the war of their own volition; the US is not paying Ukrainians to join the battle, unlike the scenario with the ANA in Afghanistan.

Even if the leak produces good outcomes, it should still be prosecuted as espionage, since there was no good faith motivation for the leak.

France Is Cracking Down on Sketchy Social Media Influencers
This makes Turbo GPT 3.5 level AI free, private and finetuneable. OpenAI exclusivity shrinks now to GPT-4. That's why I don't think they will be able to keep a large market share in LLMs, any level of AI is going to get open and free soon. SOTA models are also easy to distill by API, very hard to defend against using chat logs as training data for other models.

Once we all got one running, maybe in the OS, maybe in the browser, or as a separate app, then I see bad days ahead for online advertising. Ads are simply omitted when the bot solves a specific task for the user. We got infinitely tuneable and efficient filters for everything that gets in front of our eyes, and we will need these AI assistants to fight back the onslaught of AI spam bots. We can make the internet a beautiful garden again if we control the filters and the UI.

> Telling example to me was no firearms policy on conferences

What's supposed to be wrong with this?

I sure as hell wouldn't attend a conference where firearms were permitted, and I'm fairly sure even the NRA have organised events where carrying firearms or other weapons is prohibited.

I don't think it's unreasonable to try and ensure events marketing themselves using a Rust trademark are organised according to some basic requirements.
Had a doctor say a version of this when we turned down genetic testing of our newborn. I was like "That isn't the argument you want to make with me." haha.

You see, in our state, it is law to take the blood of the newborn to test for disease. Sounds sorta okay until you learn that the state has been selling the genetic data of your offspring without your consent.

Highly variable. In cancers they can be much larger. Mitochondrial circular DNA is about 16,600 basepairs. In comparison, in the paper below one example of a cancer-driven ecDNA is 1,260,000 basepairs (EGFRvIII). ecDNA were originally detected using cytogenetic light microscopic methods, hence the original bias toward large size.

Dylan, Vivaldi, Hip-Hop, Dots and the Madness of AI
This was an unintended art project.

- my view on GPTs is that rather than worry about AGI for now, they're the greatest lateral thinking machines ever made

- I asked chatGPT to create 50 dancing dots in vanilla JS and HTML

- I then asked it to interpret Dylan, Vivaldi and Hip-hop

- Creating methods to control the dancing dots for each one

- The output is some bizarre interpretation of each of the styles, sure it's random, it's also beautiful

- Amazingly, through a quirk, it can also combine each of the styles.

Feel free to try:

- Click start

- Each of the buttons acts as on/off

- So if you click each on, then you get all 3 combined styles

I know the argument about creativity rages on, but this feels that by definition the system acts laterally and therefore creatively. There's a lot wrong with that last statement, but the exploration continues.
Please excuse the unrelated gripe, but please don't until it supports prefers-color-scheme.

What is the security model that you think windows uses that Mac doesn't?

Already on Mac there are plenty of things you simply cannot do as root/super user/administrator, no matter how many passwords you have or enter. Having code execution in a user account doesn't provide full access to all the user's files and data, etc.

I'm curious as to exactly what this malware is doing - is it bypassing SIP and/or entitlement checks, or is it essentially the same as downloading a bash script and running it and giving it your admin password.

You're not doing what the parent definition promises though -- if you were you'd leave out the parent definition and the where, and just write the go definition with the true name.

Go is instead doing something similar to the parent that is easily transformed to the right thing (i.e. accumulated in reverse or something), or more general that does the right thing when called with specific arguments. Communicating how and why the function does what it does and works in conjunction with the top level wrapper actually matters.
> This is another disaster in the making

Frankly, I don't buy this. Many languages have a single functionally complete implementation (PHP, Perl, Nim, C#, Ocaml, Haskell, Julia) – or virtually a single one (Ruby, Go, Python) and that never proved to be a major problem to any of them.
No, it's really not. An index variable has very little details to it -- there's nothing to communicate.

Auxiliary functions are complex behavior that should be reflected in the name.
Yosida is a great reference for this functional analysis.

Namespacing packages plus private (or public) pip patch that hardcodes the link of certain namespaces to certain repos would be the most obvious one (I spent 5 seconds thinking about it so far not I'm not saying it's the best ever).

Internal package registry that knows all internal package names and makes pip reject colliding names from other sources would be another possibility.

Explicitly verifying the hash of the internal package based on the registry (again) and refusing to install packages that don't match the hash would be another option.

I'm sure if a person smarter than me (Google probably has thousands) spends a day thinking about it, they could think of a dozen better ways.

It would indicate a specific kind of commenter bias if, lacking any evidence, most comments on the original thread were about alien abductions and cow mutilations. Saying that it's weird that so many people talked about aliens doesn't necessarily mean we should suspect a human. Noting that we know a lot of murders were conducted by humans would be evidence that it was even weirder that there were so many comments about aliens.

ai and photography do not have the same purposes, so its unlikely AI will replace photography. Photography is used to record the world as it is, AI art creates depictions of what its asked for that have no relation to reality.

Rather what people were using photography for in the past may be replaced by AI. Before people went to stock photo sites for cheap images to put on their website or whatever, and tomorrow they'll find out it can be cheaper on midjourney or stable diffusion and it will do that.

But AI won't replace photography for what photography does, rather it will replace photography as the cheapest satisfactory image to use on your website that doesn't need a depiction of reality.

Trademark and copyright law only goes so far, though. This is stretching both. That's what's wrong.

By the way, in some states, it's legal to carry even where private actors forbid it, so you could attend a conference where they are "forbidden", and there could be people legally carrying anyway. People will never know.

My point was that the fact human brains are much more capable does not falsify the idea that they work the same way as these transformer style LLMS.

It might be we're special or substantively different. Or it might not. The fact we have additional capabilities just means we are not exactly the same as e.g. Gpt4 in all ways.

I don't fool myself into believing that when I install some package from CRAN, or whatever your least-favorite insecure software repository is, that I know exactly what it is or does. So to me it seems the same risk either way. Anyway I am only trying to address the question raised in the article about why Google security did not flip out over this report in the way the author expected them to.
Honestly though, in my experience macOS especially has a habit of presenting legitimate password dialogs completely out of the blue. It clearly trains users to enter their password into random dialogs that appear at random times.

This is something that hasn't been fixed despite years of complaints from the security community for exactly this reason.

It's especially annoying as touchid provides a standard authentication mechanism on macOS, that doesn't provide reusable credentials to anything.
The bearing might be compatible, but new ones are so much better. The slop (if that’s the right word) in bearings manufactured 50 years ago was more than you get now.
I never said anything about the backend.

The GUI code wants to open a dialog. The way to do that differs dramatically depending on whether you're opening a dialog on one of the (many) Windows native GUI APIs, or Cocoa (or even Linux). Are you proposing that when the, ahem, domain logic in Photoshop requires opening a dialog, that the developers write 2 or 3 or 4 different implementations at the call site?

I would bet that they do not. Adobe has wrapped "dialog creation" (along with hundreds of other GUI abstractions) in their own cross-platform layer, and their GUI code calls that. This is the same thing done by pretty much any company developing for more than one platform.

The approaches can differ a lot. For example, consider Reaper (another DAW). Its lead developer picked a tiny subset of the win32 API that he wanted to be able to use, and implemented that for macOS and Linux/X Window. Then he uses the (partial) win32 API for the entire GUI (with higher level stuff built on top of it).
> Most of the online dictionaries I checked showed that "Yankee" is a derogatory or possibly offensive word, including in British English. This is not a purely domestic (US-based) connotation.

Unless you have several hundred million documents, just write a simple encoder that serializes the embedding vectors to a flat binary file.

Writing code from scratch to process and search 200k unstructured documents -- parsing, cleaning, chunking, OpenAI embedding API, serialization code, linear search with cosine similarity, and the actual time to debug, test and run all this -- took me less than 3 hours in Go. The flat binary representation of all vectors is under 500 MB. I even went ahead and made it mmap-friendly for the fun of it even though I could read it into all into memory.

Even the dumb linear search I wrote takes just 20-30ms per query on my Macbook for the 200k documents. The search results are fantastic.

> While volumes of Russian oil exports have risen, the heavily discounted rates Moscow is offering to India and China mean revenues are significantly down year-on-year.

This should be the lede of the article and indicates that sanctions are working better than Western countries could have imagined.

The last thing Western countries would have wanted is Russian oil not being sold at all. That would effectively constitute a significant drop in supply which would translate to a massive increase in energy costs adding to the high inflation they’re facing already.

This way oil supply is similar, which doesn’t lead to increasing oil prices, and Russia is getting far fewer dollars than it would have otherwise. And I’ve seen good analyses indicating that Russia is probably selling its oil at a loss right now.

I think you follow me just fine. We know that men commit most of these types of crimes, we know they are usually younger than 40, and we know that in the majority of cases, they are already acquainted with the victim. We also know the murder rate in Rincon Hill was zero before this happened, lending weight to the relationship between the victim and the offender. The tech narrative that blames liberal SF policies for crime were well underway before this crime occurred.
There's a big difference from a person downloading a package from a random site and running it, and a person adding a known internal package name to requirements.txt. The first is usually a bad idea (unless you know what you're doing and ready for the consequences) and every SWE worth Google money knows that. The second is a standard practice and everybody does that. You can't make stupid behavior impossible - but you can make common behavior safe, and that's the basis of good security.
But they have already explained (at the end) that in any event, "Googlers can download and run arbitrary code on their machines", with the implication being that Google already thought about and had to deal with this general issue a long time ago. What this exploit does is invert the how of this "arbitrary code" running on google machines, but it makes perfect sense that Google's security protections couldn't care less how the code ended up on some dev's machine since they themselves could have just explicitly pulled it from the net.
