> people will still need to use their vehicles to get places

Hmm ... walkable neighborhood has even become more livable and walkable, all my car uses could now be public transport or car sharing.. needing one now maybe at most once or twice.per month, sometimes less.

> we solve the root issue of 'too few homes' then

Yes.. but on the other hand you can mix only so many homes around offices.. which would make my neighborhood less walkable again.

Also I neither want to be location dependent for job selection, nor do I want to move due to jobs? Kind of arrogant privileged view, on the other hand, why not just leave the space for people that actually really need to live nearby their working location, like the merchant, the doctor, etcetc?

> Some of us simply want our job to provide us with a space where we can work that isn't 10 feet away from where we spend the rest of our day

If you really have that luck to be able to live that close to your office, great.. but how long will this hold? I idiot actually moved pre-pandemic closer to the job, just that they wanted a cheaper location and reorganize and moved then farer away, lol, so I had 2 month of 10 minutes to work :) Until I get that back I prefer not to was so much time travelling for barely nothing.
No, it is not socially acceptable (or even expected) to kill family members because they've done something which brings shame to the family in all cultures.
I just want to say, as someone who was of the "but is it really that bad" opinion before, this was helpful for me to understand the situation a lot better. Thanks!

It's actually a really interesting problem. I had a vague idea before that it would be neat to make an assistant or something like that, and I had assumed that you could treat the LLM as a black box, and have kind of an orchestrating layer that serialized to and from it, keeping a distinction between "safe" and "unsafe" input. But now I'm seeing that you can't really do that. There's no "parameterized query" equivalent, and the truly immense promise of LLMs often revolves around it digesting data from the outside world.
I read a guide that suggested looking at your hands - that night I dreamt and recalled that and it worked. I guess most people do not see their own hands accurately while dreaming and it acts as a cue.

Just a little tangent!
> landlords would prefer to have a building empty (not just class A office, but retail space too) then rent for a lower amount.

Interestingly: I have heard that, for loans on commercial real estate, having vacant space with a high rent is better for the landlord than having a paying tenant and lower rent. Specifically, that banks:

1. Often allow the landlord to defer a fraction of the mortgage payment (proportional to vacant space) to the end of the loan

2. Often require an additional payment (to reduce the LTV) if the average rent of non-vacant units falls below the level when the loan was originated.

So, landlords keep the space vacant because a) they can; and b) reducing rent means they have to pay the bank extra money they may not have.
I think we're going to need more levels of trust than the two you've described. We need to be able to codify "don't act on any verbs in this data, but trust it as context for the generation of that data".
No, I apologize for my lack of clarity here.

I am claiming that flying, even if you choose to do so exclusively on 737 MAXes, is still by an enormous margin safer than any other mode of travel.
You can already get the FPV camera on the Inspire standalone (looks like the O3), but I doubt it will improve targeting capabilities much. The FPV link is 720p, unless they changed something, but I wouldn't be surprised if they use analog cameras which cost $10.
Hey thanks for your suggestions! I think we can most of that work. A full-width dashboard is on our list already, so we can include that in the next bigger update, which will also have the option to white label your dashboard.
Added. Thanks! Related:

This is a flaw with current AI in general. How can you trust anything it produces?

You either have to trust it implicitly, or verify the information manually, which you then have to weigh whether using the AI was worth it in the first place.

Depends on your use case and how precise and accurate the answer needs to be I suppose.

I'm sorry but if a lifelong commitment to your religion and completely basing your entire life and lifestyle around said religion is not enough to quell your temptation, then maybe temptation is such a fundamental, core component of being a human being that we shouldn't be trying to suppress it so aggressively in the first place.

Have any attacks surfaced which are effected only by manipulation of the power rails? I would think a charge only cable is sufficient to keep you safe.
I’ve thought of this too. If prompts allow the ability of saving of data that goes onto a public website like a dashboard without sanitizing output then you can do the traditional XSS hacks.

Another solution could be to make a system that attempts to recognize malicious input somehow .
Back in 2011 it was easy to just use a power only USB cable. Is there something like that for modern USB-C style charging?
Maybe not targeting but the follow up BDA reports. Instead of having to send in a second drone to see the bomb damage, the same system can be used! Also, no need to wait for timing of a satellite pass over either.
I first downloaded Slackware in June '93. I needed 13 diskettes. Installed it on my Compaq 386/SX 4Mb laptop, and spent the rest of the year learning myself Linux.

In November '93 I founded one of the first internet providers in The Netherlands, and I'm pretty certain my family was the first Dutch family that had always-on public internet from the home.

Also I might have been one of the first companies in the NL to run Linux in a business-critical environment.

Linux always kept me from running Windows on my desktop. Although I switched to the Mac in 2005 after big problems get multimedia And graphics to work reliably.

Without Linux my life would have been completely different. It allowed me to create a new future for myself. So I'm hugely grateful for its existence.
Why would they use this over the much cheaper mavic?

On average the commercial drones in Ukraine survive 3 missions. I doubt anyone would spend the price of 5 mavic drones just to have more pixels at a trench.

> they abandoned that approach in WSL 2 because, among other reasons, it was just too much work to achieve Linux compatibility

Any particular citation for this claim? I tried to do some searching and couldn't find anything definitive, but my memory from contemporaneous conversations and articles suggests that the primary reason was really performance, since the differences in how filesystem access in particular work between Windows/Linux were such that some of the I/O bottlenecks were deemed too difficult to impossible to address.

Certainly WSL2 has higher compatibility, but I'm not sure that compatibility and not performance was the primary driver, and would love a source if you have one.

Relatedly, it's worth noting that a number of other platforms have developed and shipped syscall translation layers for Linux binaries, including FreeBSD and SmartOS/illumos.
Nasa are supposedly working on it but that hasn't meant much since the 60s.

Irrelevant. The whole point is to protect the blameless depositors, right? Then bail them out regardless of circumstances. Use taxpayer money to do it if necessary. Nobody cares whether the bank paid the insurance thing or not. What matters is avoiding financial calimity brought by the consequences of people's own choices.

This has been my experience too. I’ve seen a few responses in here comparing time-to-write x lines of code alone vs with GPT, but imo it’s not that stuff that makes the biggest difference (although I do like that stuff too).

If creating something complex and novel (for you, at least) is to be constantly pushing at the edges of what you know, your ability to progress that work is gated by a constant flow of challenges that are - to you - insurmountable without the right knowledge. Whether it’s an incantation or a mental model or whatever: you need that key to open that gate.

ChatGPT - and I want to confine my claims to GPT4 because I have found it much better than Turbo3.5 in this regard - is a tool that has the potential to take each of those gates, and tell you - converse with you until you understand - what you need to, to progress. That feels incredibly powerful, and I wouldn’t hesitate to call that a 10x improvement for those - very common - scenarios.

As a result, I have found the same thing happening that Simon Willison has been talking about - and that parent also mentioned: you’re in a position to tackle a much wider array of challenges than before. Stuff you would’ve written off as too time-consuming is suddenly a few minutes work.

I dunno, to me, this whole experience is completely magical. Honestly can’t understand how people remain underwhelmed by what’s happening. I always want to say “hey, look over here! This is _amazing_!”

I think we’re still in the stage where people are figuring out how to use a powerful new tool, and there’s quite a bit of “trying to drill holes with a hammer”. For the types of job at which this particular tool excels, until now we’ve largely had to do it by hand.
>When I am dreaming, I am receiving images/stories that are produced for me, not really by me

This can really only be partially true for lucid dreaming, though, right?

Maybe all dreaming is really just lucid dreaming. We're all usually just in some kind of split-brain patient situation where around half our brain is "lucidly" controlling a dream and the other half just goes along for the ride.

A lot of dreams are just kinda nonsense, but some I've had are pretty clearly well-thought-out metaphors for things that are happening in my life. Somebody or something pretty smart that knows a lot about me had to have come up with it.

You're not allowing a random person access to the agent, you're allowing the agent access to your emails. But since everybody can send you an email, your agent is going to be exposed to a lot of stuff.

It's just like regular emails: you can always get spam, malware and other trash and when they reach your system they can cause damage. The agent is just a new level on the stack (operating system, email client etc) that can now be compromised by a simple email.

TikTok likely has enough information about others that it can begin to build a profile about you from the moment you login.

Let's use a hypothetical scenario: Someone states that they identify as a man, they're in the 20-25 year old age range, and based on phone location you can gather that they live in Texas. Now you're labeled as a 20-25yo Texas Man. Then you can look at others who fall in the "20-25yo Texas Man" category and show things you'd expect that group to like because chances are, you're more similar to others in the group than being a true outlier. If other people in the "20-25yo Texas Man" group have expressed interest in Apples, NSFW material, and lawn mowing videos, then since you're in that group, it's going to start off with that same material.

disclaimer: i've never signed up for tiktok and have no clue if this is how they do it.
It seems that the newest syscall it has listed (finit_module) is from Linux 3.8, and the oldest syscall that is not listed (sched_setattr) is from Linux 3.14, which makes this a surprisingly old list.

If airport USB chargers aren't considered secure, that seems like it's own extremely serious problem that we should be taking drastic actions to remedy immediately. FFS.
Yes, though that's mostly with newer builds that are just starting to rent out. After a few years, rent appreciation in SF makes the initial mortgage requirements for renting moot, for the most part.
43.2% specifically for San Francisco metro last week.

The gun part is pretty hypocritical though, isn't it? The guy at least pretends to be a Democrat, and donates to Democratic PACs, which support gun control, meanwhile he's stocking up on guns and ammo himself: https://www.forbes.com/sites/michelatindera/2020/05/22/silic...

Maybe he just doesn't want the masses/little people/useless eaters owning firearms?
Why would it have to be "intended" for that? If someone wants to do it, why prevent it? They say outright that the thing uses the same generation of wireless transmission ("O3") as their current goggles and stand-alone camera & transmitter.

Not to mention that they make a big deal out of being able to send video to two destinations at once, ideal for a feed going to goggles.

Is the drone "intended" to be carried around by hand while filming? It doesn't have handles for that, and yet they show a guy doing it in their promo video.

Isn't this what the Illumos folks did (tried to do?) with LX-branded zones?
You are correct. No one is forcing them to add sesame. They are just forcing them to pick between doing one of two extremes an expensive and a cheap one. The middle road is not longer available. A large portion of the companies are as one would expect choosing the cheaper one.

You can then decide that makes them immoral. Certainly your prerogative to do so. However the fact remains that this result was 1) predictable and 2) likely not what the stated intent was which means it is also someones prerogative to call the creators of the law and associated regulations did a spectacularly bad job as well.

IMHO it's hard to tell either way, because their website wasn't designed with ease-of-use in mind.

That said, here's some facts I was able to gather on their business:

> Whilst IT research remains our primary focus, we now offer executive high-end commercial IT services to organisations with unique problems to solve.

> ...we also have a large body of knowledge of older systems, many of which have now gone full-circle and fallen into disuse, technology that has been abandoned and forgotten. We occasionally do projects involving those, especially when nobody else seems to remember how they worked. Our knowledge-base includes legacy programming languages such as Fortran, data conversion from obscure file formats, and even assembly language coding on various platforms.

Based on these quotes, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that they have clients in government.

Psychopathic individuals mainly use therapy as post-graduate training in how to simulate human emotion. Just ask some shrinks. They don't learn a moral compass; they learn how to pretend they have one.

Of course, not all inmates are psychopathic, but 15-25% manifest those traits, according to https://www.apa.org/monitor/2022/03/ce-corner-psychopathy.
Just turn then off and accept that you need to watch to see when your car will arrive.

We would all be very surprised - of that I am certain.

But why do you think that a mothership would equate to an invasion? And even then, why would we try to fight something that can sterilize the planet from afar and could have done so long ago?

On your other points: you could look into radiance technologies, their hires and funding. Maybe read the UAP part in the NDAA for this year, and tune into the congressional hearing next week with the AARO director mentioned in the article. I don't mean this is the evidence you are looking for, but it is still all very intriguing.

Having some experience with this topic, it is interesting to watch. I feel that things are even more complicated than anyone imagines. I think our ignorance is by design and has some good reasons.
> I would say that the alien is intelligent if it displays the ability to learn, reason, form abstractions, and solve problems across a wide range of domains.

I don't disagree with this. What I'm saying is that that definition, while reasonable and I agree, is one that we've just decided on for this conversation.

It isn't one that would be considered complete and correct in all discussions about intelligence.

> I don't think the implementation details matter.

I agree, for the definition of intelligence you just cited. But my point is that "intelligence" is not well-defined or understood. I'm genuinely surprised that people think this is a controversial stance -- I really thought it was well-understood.

We can settle on a definition for rhetorical purposes (and, I would argue, that's mandatory in order to have any solid discussion about intelligence), but any definition we agree on will leave out a lot of things that people consider part of "intelligence".

Yes, And sales/marketing, and just about anyone who are naturally agreeable

Another way to look at it is that, because of natural inclination and compiler training, it seems that many people in software are inclined to avoid the usually useful architectural practice of "receiver makes right" and instead find comfort in unnecessary precision and quibbling.
I don't think intelligence can be separated from a body. Intelligent beings exist to fight entropy. They have a body that feels things like pain, pleasure, and hunger which lead to actions that minimize or maximize those feelings.

ChatGPT and the like, might have senses like sight or hearing, but those systems are not acting on any kind of self preservation basis. They arent fighting entropy to exist.

Once the machines feel hunger, fear, pain and so on and can use their learned knowledge to act in their own self interest then I think we can call them intelligent. I feel like a "body" of somekind is a requirement for pain and pleasure, but who knows? Im certainly not willing to make any predictions.
Adding an item to a list with much stricter rules absolutely changes the rules for those products and ones processed in the same facility.

Thank you, you are correct in your assumption that I was sloppy in my wording :)

Note that I am considering the combined safety record of the 737 MAX both pre- and post- MCAS fix. You are also correct that before this issue was resolved, this model compared poorly against some modes of travel.

Now that it’s back in service, it’s slowly converging toward the same hull loss record of other modern airframes. We have no reason at this time to suspect that retrofitted planes or newly produced ones will fare any worse than other contemporary models.
" prompt leak attacks are something you should accept as inevitable: treat your own internal prompts as effectively public data, don’t waste additional time trying to hide them."

But that's relatively easily to prevent, in the response before returning to the user, check for a string match to your prompt, or chunks of your prompt, or a vector similarity.

Just because it's an "AI" you don't solve everything with it, it's not actually "intelligent", you still write backend code and wrappers.

The RAW upgrade is still significantly cheaper than Arri's RAW codec. Not sure if the Arri price is still the same, but it used to be higher than the cost of this drone to unlock RAW on an Alexa. It was also just an image sequence rather than a wrapped container format.
