I don't think its absurd at all. It isn't required in anyway (opt in), lets you use your own keys (no preinstalled microsoft or other bigcorp keys), and isn't possible for someone to modify what keys you installed.

Of course if you lose your keys you can't sign anything else and that would make it basically ewaste, but most things end up as waste when you take actions that are reckless and can't be reversed (which is what losing the keys would be). Plus tech tends to ends up as ewaste after less than a decade anyways. Like sure you could still be using an AMD steamroller CPU but realistically after 10 years you'd be better off using a cheaper more power efficient chip anyways.
That's not a realistic answer.

Do you have any idea how much software is on the average consumer device, and how poorly equipped the average consumer is to determine its provenance let alone decide what is trustworthy?

Not to mention that there are economic reasons to run untrusted software. For example no matter how little I trust Zoom and Slack, I don't have a job if I am not willing to run them.

I sure haven't stated "my position" in any of my previous comments. But assuming it refers to common english, I'm reminded of another "1984" concept: doublethink.

The similarity is uncanny.

Please don't put words in my or anyone else's mouth to make your point. It's extremely disrespectful.
I kick off with the 4 as there's no time to waste, and solely utilize 3.5 in API mode for my apps. It's way speedier, and if you're certain the task is doable, it's a no-brainer to employ it. Scripted uses are often like that.
We are using z3c.rml (https://github.com/zopefoundation/z3c.rml) based on ReportLab. Layout is written in HTML-like XML and render performance is pretty good.
Absolutely. Most development work for these things is just fine on a laptop.

Each processor family has its own supported SIMD instructions though. For a long time, SSE / AVX / AVX2 were the only game in town on x86. AVX-512 introduced in Skylake was primarily available only on server parts, and was a mixed bag, and didn't have support on AMD machines until just recently (with Genoa / Zen4).

A modern Mac laptop with an M-series chip will have ARM NEON vector instructions, just like on an iPhone or similar. There is a new-ish ARM vector instruction set called Scalable Vector Extensions (SVE) that Apple doesn't support, but Graviton 3 does. But generally improvements on your laptop often translate onto the server side, and you can definitely test correctness.

There are a few least-common denominator SIMD libraries out there, but realistically for many problems, you'll get the most mileage from writing some intrinsics yourself for your target platform.
adding `store password somewhere` doesn't get in the way of plymouth's theming (which is separate), it doesn't change the rest of the boot process, etc etc etc etc etc, its taking an open source project, adding some lines to it, compiling, and swapping a binary out. Why would it need to any of this other stuff?

> You'd need root access for that. At that point, it is already game over for the target! Why would you need to tamper with the bootloader at that point?

Yes that is the crux of the Evil Maid attack, a drive-by install of software. e.g. at a coffeeshop while one is on the toilet, at an office, at a hotel by an evil maid, etc etc. AEM is about detecting changes in trust: if the loading sequence is changed, then the verifier (another device like a usb dongle) can't verify (since the TPM can no longer unlock the prior secret due to the chain changing).

You might want to look into the article I linked in my earlier comment to get the full idea of what is meant by evil maid
I can only think of Python, but are people learning that alone these days? In every other popular language, I can't imagine not ever encountering a situation where you also need to know the index of the iteration.
I wonder what percentage of investors might actually draw the conclusion that while you may have a great product, you might be bad at marketing it?

Because, while lots of engineers would like to think that the success of a product is due to the tech and features, the reality is that good market can make a crap product successful a lot more often than a good product can overcome bad marketing and presentation. Craigslist seems to be an exception rather than the rule.
Alternatively: Stuff is going to be leaked anyways, so we might as well also make it easy for law enforcement to do their job.
"utilize" - the teacher wasn't able to use the computers for the intended purpose of teaching the children.

"use" - the teacher was unable to operate the computer at all (maybe they couldn't use the mouse, for example).
That's been my experience. At some point it can't "un-learn" its mistakes because it keeps including the "wrong" bits in scope.

I have some success saying "no, undo that," waiting for it to return the corrected version, and only then continuing.

Oobabooga's UI is better at this, since you can remove erroneous outputs from the context and edit your previous input to steer it in the right direction.

Given that OpenAI mines conversations for training data it seems to align with their interests to make you give up and start a new prompt. More abandoned prompts = more training data.
How hard would it be to use all the heat to generate usable energy, rather than discarding a bunch of it via coolant? I don't know much about nuclear reactors and I'm sure I'm not the first to think of it, and I'd guess it's quite a bit of heat - but then it's quite a bit of usable energy.
> I don't think they're trying to make a case for the current regulations being just right.

That's sure what it looks like to me when they say "Wanting to do early experimentation, that is currently only allowed to occur on animals due to safety concerns, on humans is definitionally unethical and especially dangerous. We banned it because it is unethical and especially dangerous in basically every case."

"definitionally unethical" based on what is currently allowed. So FDA regulations are a cornerstone of that particular argument.

And as I elaborated upon in my previous comment, their only other argument is a one-sided "that increases danger" argument that isn't enough because it also applies to things that are ethical.

Not quite sure the article supports what you're saying? It seems to be pretty confused about how kids get their political opinions.

Well I mean you might think you are helping the kids but you might not be? This is part of skin-in-the-game, right? Experiencing something might give you a new point of view on it. For instance how will you form an opinion about whether schools are well run?

They are making arbitrary assumptions for what is a procedure is, when it is in fact open ended, calling it "dangerous, highly experimental, early stage medical procedure"

They are assuming that the same procedure done in monkeys would be done in humans, which is not supported by the quote, or how the real world works.

You can different experiments in humans than monkeys to achieve the same goal, they need not be identical, or even similar.
where does one find a travel agent?
Parent is still correct about it being illogical though.
Basically all CPUs have simd nowadays. You can even make use of it in wasm/the web. (Though currently not supported on iOS.) Just compile with ‘emcc -msimd128 main.c’
Differentiating between English J and Y is also difficult for Swedes (at least for me), because in Swedish, a J at the start of a word is typically pronounced with a Y-sound. I have to make a conscious effort to make sure I don't get the words jet and yet mixed up when I say them.
What do Microservices and Factorio have in Common?
Yes, regular computers have had SIMD for decades. Ex: Intel was SSE and now AVX. Fancier servers will have the same, except maybe wider and some other tricks.

If you go down the vectorization path, unless you are a crufty CPU DB vendor, I'd skip ahead to GPU for the same. Ecosystem is built to do the same but faster and easier. CPU makers are slowly changing to look more like GPUs, so just skip ahead...
I completely agree. IMO anthropomorphisms of LLMs leave out extremely important details.
> Yes that is the crux of the Evil Maid attack, a drive-by install of software. e.g. at a coffeeshop while one is on the toilet, at an office, at a hotel by an evil maid, etc etc.

If the laptop was left online and unlocked: What do you expect to gain by installing a patched plymouth versus installing a traditional remote control software and/or keylogger ? You don't even need root for the latter!

If the laptop was left locked: do you plan to open the laptop, remove the disk, transfer some files to it (matching the same distro & version of all components your target was using, otherwise the entire thing may just crash or look different and reveal the attack), hope the target doesn't notice his laptop was literally taken apart (most laptops just can't be opened at all, for the ones which can, even mine has a simple open-circuit tamper detector...), then come back in the future _and do the same_ again to recover the captured password? And how is this not a ridiculously targeted attack?

Besides, at that point, you could simply install a wiretap on they keyboard, an attack which unlike the evil maid crap I have seen _millions_ of times in the wild (e.g. at public pinpads, card readers at gas stations, etc. ).
That's my point. If you just look at phrases as meaning the sum of their words then this phrase makes no sense. But it is a phrase that has an understood meaning.

> Wikipedia is nothing but a superminority

We're talking about totally different minorities here.

Yes, a tiny proportion of Wikipedia users create a vast portion of the content. But that doesn't mean their views are minority views.

If those, say, 1% of users who are contributors, still map roughly to the same distribution of gender, race, nationality, political leanings, etc. as the group of all users, then there's no superminority issue. If they set policy according to their own discussion and voting, we wouldn't expect that to be substantially different from a larger group.

The problem is with superminority views -- if you asked 100 randomly selected users of Wikipedia whether all instances of "is comprised of" should be replaced with "comprises", probably only a tiny minority would agree. This is a superminority viewpoint, which is the whole reason why this story is generating so much discussion.

A superminority viewpoint imposing its beliefs is a problem. While a small group of editors that is merely numerically a "superminority" is in no way a problem, unless they turn out to be substantially unrepresentative of the larger population in their views.
> I wish there were some kind of effective defense mechanism in open society against activist superminorities. Pedants tilting at windmills shouldn't be able to alter the cultural landscape this easily. I am aware that their problem and my problem are privileged "first-world problems". The seeds of the open society carry the germ of this pathology, I guess.

Maybe the pathology is this kind of conservativism. I find lack of change - due to knee-jerk resistance and corrupt vested interest - causes far more problems than anything.

There is so much we could do - easy low-hanging fruit - where the only obstacle is (this kind of) conservativism.
Similar to this: consistently be a total weirdo and end up with a girl that actually likes you.

(Don’t ask me how I know)
If you're asking how widely available SIMD is, it has been common in consumer hardware for 2 decades. To perform SIMD instructions manually you will need a compiled language that supports it, like Rust or C. But the compiler can actually implement it for you as an optimization.

If reasoning is amenable to being “embedded” at all then we should perhaps reconsider its fundamental nature?

Absolutely nonsensical bullshit. Everyone reading this knows you perfectly understood “were” to mean “we’re” here. Engaging in the fictional universe where you didn’t is a waste of time.
To echo others here, its always strange to me when (non-status quo beneficiaries) people react like this. Is this not a great thing? We need to invest in our grid, that means lots of relatively well compensated folks tackling interesting problems at a huge scale.

Tangential, and probably preaching to the choir here, but I really hate the modern web design trends.

I check up on the websites of current and former employers, and they've basically all turned into this same template where all the text is vague and lofty while telling you nothing about the company or service("CloudProduct from Tech Corp is the best way to transform your data operations for next generation workloads"), the graphics are all flat corporate Memphis or stock images (no screenshots or demo videos of the actual product), and the pages all do that annoying thing where effects/elements appear and disappear as you scroll down the page.

I don't know, maybe this is the sort of thing that works on product/marketing people but to me it just seems like pointless fluff and makes me not want to look any deeper into the company or product.
> You want to be able to deploy and execute code outside the control of whoever physically controls the machine.

Microsoft solved this problem on the latest Xbox. Many years after it was launched, it's still not jail-broken.

It all depends on the rate at which things change. Greenhouse gasses we emitted already changed temperatures faster than ever before (1ish °C in less than 2 centuries). Nature doesn't have time to adapt to such a repentine change and so another "great dying" is a concrete possibility.
> (chongli used CAD as an example of a ritual. now__what asked "is that really what ritual means?". You said yes.

It was one of two examples, being the latter one after "heck" which indicates it's probably not a perfect fit.
It was the weakest but it still works.

> I didn't claim that a ritual has to be ineffective; only that (1) it needs to have symbolic significance

It does. Perhaps less now. You mash these keys when your computer isn't doing what you want.

> it needs to have elements that are there for purposes other than what they actually do

It used to be something that the BIOS would perform a soft reset in response to a keyboard interrupt and those keys being down. It was chosen to be across the keyboard (to prevent activation by mistake). All of the functional aspects of it are dead and the original meaning is gone (including the location of keys). For unclear reasons this ritual got appropriated for other purposes (the original reasons for it don't relate to the new uses).
This resonates with me.

I'm a developer and writer, not a designer.

I'm a bottom up kind of guy, I want to get the things work correctly, without building mockups or a strategy first. Iterative creations, you know?

Obviously, non-technical people have to do it the other way around, so most resources you find online focus on the top down approach.
The small group doesn't have to be thoughtful (and they often aren't), they just need to be committed.
In hindsight it seems so ridiculous that we appropriated the .dot suffix, but no one made us - we did that intentionally. Later we tried switching to .gv but everyone forgets sometimes.

As far as i understand the neural engine is trained on texture BRDFs which are too memory intensive for most rendering usecases (offline & realtime). The hierarchical model delivers sub-pixel accuracy outperforming mipmaps. So far so good but this is no replacement to tracing a ton of rays. Temporal stability and versatility is questionable. Will be interesting to see how this compares to Unreals Substrate.

I'm not sure what you are trying to argue but people routinely buy used computers on market place. Rasperry pies with locked keys are essentially paper weights once the owner doesn't want to use them anymore.

And realistically, the biggest ewaste generators are especially smartphones nowadays which are too locked to be reused well.

Disagree. The language I speak didn't exist 800 years ago. The Anglo-saxons wouldn't have understood me, and I wouldn't have understood them.

And there were barely a billion human beings just 800 years ago - forget about thousands of years.

I didn't mention "prescriptivism", although it's obviously the opposite of descriptivism.

I thiink you mistake "prescriptivism" for a sort of law-making,like grammar-nazis. I mean something more like a general acceptance that words do have particular meanings, and that it's possible to be wrong about the meaning or use of a word.

> current 8k GPT-4 is already restricted to 25 prompts/3 hours

I'm pretty sure they're using a 4k GPT-4 model for ChatGPT Plus, even though they only announced 8k and 32k... It can't handle more than 4k of tokens (actually a little below that, starts ignoring your last few sentences if you get close). If you check developer tools, the request to an API /models endpoint says the limit for GPT-4 is 4096. It's very unfortunate.
it's really depends on that you are trying to build but in general you need to use tools you know and you can save some time by using PaaS services like 'heroku' because those will allow to focus on your product code instead of infrastructure and also you have to only write code that not possible to outsource to external services/solutions.
