Nice explanation.

I think this: "It’s about confidently thinking they are right about something which turns out not to be true."

Unpopular opinion, most people who say this are actually not great listeners and don't take the time to understand peoples messages, so it sounds like "everyone is wrong or dumb", I find, nearly always, if I inquire more deeply, most peoples views or opinions are perfectly valid or they at least have good reasons for believing in something I would otherwise dismiss as false. So it's not that they're necessarily hallucinating, they're just got good reasons for having an alternate take on reality.

For an LLM, the truth is just an approximation of what it's been fed. I think for living creatures with past experience of their own, the ability to understand reality is more complex and nuanced and of course, includes their unique experiences.

My observation has been that nearly all intellectual views, opinions and "facts" are in some ways approximations. Wrong and and waiting to be revised at some stage.

If I was parsing the input, then parse-time is the time to assign a token-id (I'd use an enum). Then you have a unique identifier and wouldn't need to use the fancy hash function. It's a nice function, takes good advantage of the instruction set, but seems brittle or redundant.

What are the better tools? Are you suggesting JavaScript is better? Exactly how?
I've never developed a mobile app that talks to an API. How do you even store API keys, open source or not? On a jailbreaked iPhone someone could just extract the IPA file and then decompile the API key. If you proxy through your own server, then you replace the problem with that anyone can try to talk to your own server.
CERN httpd (1990) and NCSA httpd (1993) came before Netscape Netsite (dec 1994) and were both free and open source.

When Netscape did launch their server it was relatively expensive starting at $1495. For $5000 you got SSL support: https://books.google.com/books?id=djgEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA10.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (December 15, 1994) -- Netscape Communications Corporation today announced the availability of the 1.0 versions of its Netscape Navigatorand Netsite server line, including the Netsite Commerce Serverwith integrated security. The availability of these open software products, announced in September, enables Netscape Communications to offer the first complete, secure client/server software system for conducting commerce and exchanging information via the Internet and private TCP/IP networks.

Cheaters get bumped up in level quickly and wind up against people who can flag them for cheating

Yes, and the other side of this coin is sandbagging. Cheaters losing on purpose to keep their rating down. Generally this is also pretty easy to detect because it’s difficult to lose on purpose in a convincing way. Just resigning the game in a non-losing position or blundering mate-in-1 is too obvious and easy to catch. Someone playing the top Stockfish line 20 moves in a row and then blundering their queen just sticks out like a sore thumb.

> if Microsoft ever ruins Minecraft somehow

They're not ruining it as much as just letting it stagnate in favour of things like Story Mode, Dungeons, and Legends. If they'd put half the energy they've put into those shameless cash grabs into optimising the Java version, it would improve millions of players' daily experience. It should not require a suite of mods to get passable performance.
Nice, now block Koo, ShareChat, Flock in response.

Should we just do encrypted SMS at this point lol
My business partner is an attractive young woman living in Seoul. I am based in California. She and I have regular phone meetings at 2 am her time. She uses our meeting time to jog around the city while talking. She's been doing this routine for 2 years and never had a problem.

When I visited Seoul, we went all over the city and I realized after 4 days that I had not seen a single policemen nor heard a single police siren. Seoul is 25 million people. I live in a "safe" California town of 60,000 people and see policemen all the time, and hear sirens regularly. I would caution any friend from jogging at 2am here.

In coffee shops in Seoul, people leave their wallets and laptops unattended while they go to the bathroom. By contrast, in my hometown in California, thieves have walked in, punched customers, grabbed laptops out of the customer's hands and run.

A very different world -- not just Seoul, but other cities in Asia.
Well they just banned the decentralized communication apps (like Element). Users can of course work around these bans, but many of them don't have the technical know-how or aren't going to bother.
Per Atari v. Philips, Tetris Holding v. Xio Interactive, and Spry Fox v. Lolapps, among other cases, substantial similarity in presentation is enough for a video game to infringe on another game's copyright, even if it shares no code or assets with the infringed-upon game. And yes, this means the idea that game mechanics or even "look and feel" are not copyrightable is a myth.

The concept of Tetris, in particular, is protected with copyright, patent, and trademark armor so thick that if you write a clone of the game, Henk and Alexey will sue you into a smouldering crater.
Show HN: Lectureapp.io – Online Markdown-to-anything* editor
Here's my weekend project that I think you'll find interesting.

Markdown was (and still is) my secret weapon to keep myself productive and sane throughout my teaching career, and that's because I created and maintained number of internal tools to convert such text documents to presentation decks, blog articles, and even pop quizzes.

I finally found the time to duct tape these tools together and launch as a product that you can take advantage of as well. I am calling it LectureApp.io, and I would describe it as an "online text-to-anything* editor."

Please feel free to give it a try and leave a review on ProductHunt. I welcome any feature suggestions as this will be my main driver for future teaching appointments.
So, you're suggesting Signal has a back-door?
Not sure if legit, but WHO apparently issued a warning regarding RO water as well.

Thank you. I have never played Minecraft but it is a huge phenomenon,a game that's really very popular.

By GPU I meant if server also requires some GPU but seems like from your description that it doesn't.

Thank you again for the detailed answer.
> In a time where we are having budgets slashed, it is impossible to justify continued (increasing) resources being allocated to Gopher development unless some good things result for the University of Minnesota. This is a fact of life.

Wow. What happened to publicly funded universities doing work to benefit all of mankind? They already had Gopher named after their team mascot, so PR value to the University would always be there.

I've seen government-funded universities trying to restrict and license their works a lot lately, and somehow assumed it was a new phenomenon. Perhaps I had an overly rosy view of academia in the past.
They need a way of flagging this sort of behaviour as well. It should be relatively easy to spot if a person is repeatedly flagging while sitting there for a long time in completely losing positions.
The situation in Canada is the same, but there is one situation where the GG's power is significant, and does not trigger a constitutional crisis.

Determining whether or not a minority government is dissolved, and an election is held, or if a ruling coalition can be allowed to form.

In 2008, right after the election the GG did the ruling minority of Tories a pretty big favor by refusing to accept a non-confidence vote by a majority coalition, and instead, proroguing parliament for the benefit of the ruling minority party...

Absolutely insane. (That this question is left to the whim of one unelected person.)
I find something that looks likely, and spend ~20+ minutes on it. It's revelatory and even that is a short time: think how long the artist spent on it, how long the artist thought about it. In some senses, viewing a painting for 20 minutes is like reading a book in 20 minutes.
Only partially, in that the number of bits to shift needs to change if the hash table is resized. And so if your hash table also controls the hashing of the keys, those steps can be combined. But it's often the case that its not in control of that, and so they're often separate steps.
The Western world encompasses many more languages than English. My mother language is Spanish and we pronounce most Japanese names correctly. It helps that both languages have the same 5 vowels and a similar set of consonants.

How is this different from good (non-cheating) players joining a new website and having to get to their realistic rating? This happens, but as a percentage of games you play it has a very low impact; moreover, platforms usually tell you that a player has a not-yet-established rating with a question mark, eg 1620?

My suggestion is to just stop thinking about cheaters when playing online rated games. I started doing so years ago, and have increased my enjoyment of the game A LOT, without any visible downside.
That authority drives the C language evolution and couldn't care less about what you, or me for that matter, think.
Some laptops with changable batteries have 4/6/9 cell variants. I know Lenovo has them in the 11-14v nominal (from my head) range, 4s/3s2p/3s3p, so the lower voltage spec for the DC/DC converter might even be lower than 12v.
Can you please contact me on Twitter? I'm @blisstweeting there.
People are right to doubt the claims of notOpenAI and others about the capabilities of their models. The nonlinear output gains do not mean that the quest for intelligence is over. It's already hard to steer them with RL to make proper math. It's more likely that the transformer will only be a part of the larger architecture.
> the blocked apps include Crypviser, Enigma, Safeswiss, Wickrme, Mediafire, Briar, BChat, Nandbox, Conion, IMO, Element, Second line, Zangi, Threema, among others.

That is, anything that's easy enough to detect in the traffic, I suppose? Or does it just affect App Store / Play Store?

> The step was taken after multiple agencies found that these apps were being used by terrorists to communicate with their supporters and on-ground workers

I wonder if it applies to members of general public, or to trained agents. For the former, the ban may work. For the latter, I suppose, there's less chance: they must have other means to install apps, various VPNs set up, and some opsec training.

> The government found that these apps did not have representatives in India and they could not be contacted for seeking information as mandated by Indian laws.

This, of course, should be by design for any really secure communication app. A legal entity representing a secure channel is a people to press on in cases like that, ans such pressure from law enforcement is and will be inevitable. I think Tor network has no legal representative anywhere.
VRAM requirement suggests it was BW starved. Easiest was of adding BW without bumping clock is going wider, thats what AGA did. Ranger wouldnt matter anyway with its 7 bit color, planar arrangement like AGA when games went all in on high color bitmaps. Wing Commander runs at ~1fps on AGA (CD32) because of planar to packed conversion.
I mean, i've never understood how people could be entertained hitting a ball with a stick. Different humans like different things.
You've just said it so much better. Devil is in the details.
Open Source is not about having source code.

It is about the license meeting OSI's requirements, which are more or less the same as GNU's four freedoms.

The main problem with Minecraft is how Microsoft, due to Mojang's decision to sell, is at the centre.

This is such an important game to computer history, and it has such huge community. It deserves better than this.

IMHO the community is best served by alternative, actual open-source clients and servers, and it would be healthy to recreate everything Microsoft currently owns.

Minetest is one such effort. This one is from scratch.

The incremental approach is another possible route.
ISTR this sort of thing is also kosher in the Mormon church.
Isn't Bedrock now basically "anything that isn't the Java edition"? Like iOS, consoles, etc.?

Apple is existence proof that other platforms could have succeeded if well-managed. Apple almost died due to incompetent executive management, not the PC per se.
You severely underestimate the people in power, and the people who stand behind them.

Such bans are deliberate attacks targeting (parts of) the general population. Terrorists have nothing to do with this.

"Hahaha those stupid bureaucrats, they have no idea what they are doing" is a popular meme, but it couldn't be further from the truth. They do know what they are doing, and it's working. If you believe it isn't, that's only because you misunderstand what the real goal is.
Based on news out of Albuquerque, organized crime groups that were previously operating in So Cal (San Bernardo and Riverside previously had the highest rates) figured out they could get their mission accomplished more easily in New Mexico and Colorado.
They are ruining it by trying to control multi player. Users are being banned from the entirety of multiplayer over screen recordings of greifing.

It’s honestly outrageous that MS thinks they should control what happens on other peoples servers.
I don’t know. Neither this article nor the article it references (https://www.news18.com/amp/india/govt-blocks-14-mobile-messe...) seem to have the full list.

For a high profile app like Signal (which more than just the Indian government cares about) I assume there are security vendors or US intelligence solutions to get access. I mean, for one, the US government and EU can make Google and Apple do anything by showing up to their offices with guns. It’s also a high value target for whatever you call those security firms that sell exploits to nationstates.

For intelligence purposes you’d rather centralize targets on a small number of platforms that they think are safe and not give them a reason to leave, rather than have them be fragmented across many platforms which each require some kind of backdoor/additional work to get access to.

I guess I’m getting downvoted for insinuating Signal has a backdoor without evidence, but an iOS or Android level exploit or backdoor would easily function as a signal backdoor, and depending on its implementation (like peaking at process memory) could be hard to get working for each and every random app. There’s also the risk of an app store itself adding a backdoor or a Signal insider sneakily creating one to sell the exploit. These all seem highly possible given the various NSO exploits that have hit the news.
I listen to podcasts while doing domestic tasks!
I think the EmuDeck compressor is for compressing to emulator supported formats, like the RVZ format used in Dolphin for example. I'm not sure how it compares to btrfs, but RVZ is supposed to keep good performance while compressing garbage data in a way that maintains compatibility.
So then no warrants required for them to make these requests, got it.

> both agree the law is being followed.

Notice how I didn't say that anything was illegal. The fact that it was legal, is entirely the problem!

I think it is very important for the government to get a warrant, before making these requests.

You can feel free to not care about warrants for these types of requests, but I care about them.
They made these blunders because they were in very unfamiliar, double-edged positions. Yes, sometimes nerves got involved but sometimes the positions were just very sharp and complex and they couldn’t find the engine line.

Also, a lot of those engine lines would’ve just made a draw, something a human player would never do when they’re playing with the white pieces in a need-to-win game.
I think, in some way or another, the economy will settle into an equilibrium where everyone is doing some kind of paid work, but if we automate away the enjoyable work and the difficult-to-automate work happens to be the type of work that's less enjoyable, then all our lives will be less enjoyable.

We've seen this play out in history with the various productivity-increasing technologies in manufacturing. I imagine that being a member of a crafts guild producing their wares in Renaissance Florence was a more fulfilling existence than being a modern assembly line worker who basically just fills in the difficult-to-automate gaps between the machines on an assembly line.

There are essentially two ways of using technology: One is where technology becomes an extension of your body (and, with AI, your brain) and puts more powerful means at your disposal to do what you want to do and have an effect on the world. The other is where your role in life is reduced to being a mere part in a machine -- someone else's machine.

And it's not in each individual's power to freely pick and choose how they will end up relating to technology. This is rather the result of societal-level forces, and there will be many people who will see their quality of life diminished by recent advances in technology.
> Amiga/Commodore had the best engineers Atari had the best business folks.

This. The business folks at Atari weren't shortsighted like the ones at Commodore; adding a MIDI port alone to the ST contributed to place that machine into its own music production niche ("I want a Mac but can't afford it") which prolonged their life for years after Atari ceased production.
Adding a MIDI port to the Amiga would have been trivial, I built and sold several at that time on local BBSes, and the cost was like a few bucks: one 74ls04, one photocoupler, one voltage regulator and a few analog parts; making it internal would have been even cheaper due to not having to add a serial D25 connector and an enclosure, not to mention the parts purchase in the ten of thousands. Unfortunately the business folks at Commodore constantly cut corners by removing what they thought not important for what they still thought of a game console, so one would buy a desktop computer only to find it had no hard disk and real time clock: boot from floppy and set the date/time at each boot? Come on! One would wonder how it could not fail.
The book under review consists of a collection of remarks about individual works by Beethoven. For each individual work, the author lists some historical anecdotes and follows it up with a list of notable recordings. Of course, the recording review is quite helpful, and it's often helpful to hear someone else's thoughts even on recordings that you know very well. However, it is frustrating that the author says so little about the music itself, and I feel that many people, like me, do not feel the anecdotes of a work's creation and reception improve our enjoyment of the music. I'm afraid the book doesn't quite live up to the title in that way.

There is also the issue of the inaccuracies underlying some of the author's statements which can lead to a misleading picture of the composer. The reviewer has rightly picked up the different social aspect of music in the 18th and 19th centuries that undermines the simple comparison between the reception history of Beethoven and Bach done by the author, but there is more in the same (concluding) chapter. The author states that "[Beethoven] is practically unquotable, yielding few spinoffs." and after listing a few minor borrowings concludes "But that’s about it...". He has omitted to mention Schumann's C major fantasy, which surely is one of the most astonishing and effective works that is explicitly based on a direct quotation of Beethoven. Shortly after the author states "He is empirically inimitable. Nobody has emulated the ninth symphony, the Hammerklavier, the Archduke trio or the late quartets.", this is simply not true. Brahms made a point of specifically emulating Beethoven's 9th symphony in his first symphony, and when people pointed out the similarity, Brahms reportly said "Any ass can see that!". Brahms' 1st piano sonata is also so closely based on the Hammerklavier such that the resemblance is unmistakable. The fact that Brahms burned several sonatas before he published the "first" one shows how carefully he treated Beethoven's legacy. Mendelssohn also wrote a much less effective piano sonata based on the Hammerklavier, but he had the sense of never publishing it. In his youth he was much more successful, Mendelssohn's Op 13 string quartet is also explicitly modelled on the late Beethoven quartet in the same key, mirroring Beethoven's successful emulation of Mozart's K 464 quartet in his own first quartet collection. It's one thing to gush over Beethoven's reputation concerning the impossibility in following in his footsteps (and it is true that when 19th century composers tried to emulate Beethoven the result was often disastrous, the examples I've given are the exceptions which prove the rule), it doesn't give us any understanding as to why this is the case if one make vague blanket statements.
