Have hope. There are structural differences between spammy accounts and real ones, because their incentives are different. That will always be the case (it’s pretty much true by definition) and can be used to distinguish the accounts.

AI has definitely made it easier to generate more plausible-looking spam, and removed one way to easily identify bad accounts, but it hasn’t changed the underlying behaviour differences that put a lower bound on how bad the problem can become (as long as GitHub has the team and tools in place to use them in defence).
Which sentiment? I grew up in Ohio; lived there for 18 years. It makes financial sense to buy a home near Toledo, for example. (E.g. not so expensive that you’d loose money vs renting.) Not a ton to do, though.
Well that's what I mean about choosing the right events. If you are needing to keep multiple systems in your head all the time the boundaries are wrong. But it's true that evolving the interface of services is hard.

On the one hand, the problem was nearly "solved" in early 2000's, getting to 95% accuracy. But the daily of experience of using something that makes mistakes at that rate is infuriating and well and truly outside of consideration for putting into any kind of critical pathway. So it's a combination of how difficult it is to close the last few percentage points of accuracy with how important they are for most of the high value use cases.

For the forseeable future I see most use of this tech coming from applications where it aids humans and/or checks their decisions rather than running solo.

The entire backend is available via REST interface. I am looking to support finer API permissions via auth tokens.

But the APIs are accessible today with basic auth.
scaling auth infra is basically the entire motivation for things like JWTs

if you don't care about every request making an auth check, that's great! then just use basic sessions or whatever. there's no reason to use anything more complex
Will they continue to do so, on company time, for packages that are no longer in any supported version of RHEL? I think they fix bugs that presently or will effect both Fedora and RHEL, or do more in their free time because they are themselves enthusiasts and not just corporate workers.
The dotted lines represent in 80 years.
Think where we were 80 years ago, it was before WW2, before the atomic age.
With the current technological progress picture the human race in 80 years.

Just in 20 years we will have massive solar energy generation, EV as the only cars availables, probably same for nuclear, maybe fusion even. Now think of the advance in computing and AI in 20 years! Genetic engineering?

To think that climate change will be a problem in 80 years depend on those kind of linear projections.

Now in 80 years I wonder where we will be with regards to population collapse, to our sense of self, communities with what social networks have done just in the last 10 years.

Again, I don’t know how people can assume the same linear future for 80 years.

So yes assuming that things stay the same for 80 years we might have a (small) problem with that at that point, but imagine all the other things we are missing by focusing so much in this small problem in the far future.

We are living the singularity, this moment is not like the 1000’s of year before.
They have a similar (but not actually the same) chord progression. They're in a different key and the melody is different. If you could copyright similar chord progressions then that would be the end of new pop music.

Somewhat related - my wife and I own a small business and Yelp basically forced us into a $150 a month advertising package by deleting all out positive reviews and posting bogus negative reviews (they were by people not even locate in our state). At the time we were new so this was a big deal.

We went along with it but at some point our card expired and I never updated my account with them. I tracked it for a few months to ensure they weren’t accumulating, once that proved true I never thought about them again and mark their invoices as spam. Going on a year plus and it’s continued to work; we don’t pay them a dime, our few positive reviews we get at yelp remain online and we encourage our customers to avoid them and post everywhere else.
Aside from obviously malicious bulk spamming like this, I'm seeing project maintainers get increasingly exasperated at users asking for help to fix some nonsense code which they eventually admit was generated by ChatGPT after some prodding. One Discord server I'm in has already instituted a "thou shalt not use ChatGPT" rule because it's wasting so much of the regulars time on deciphering confidently-wrong AI gibberish that someone took at face value.

Whoever said that generative AI was going to raise the internets noise floor was right on the money.
I've had two MacBook Pros die in the Amazon rainforest due to humidity. I think the fans pull in humid air and that the water gets stuck. My brother has had an M1 Air for about 2.5 years in the jungle with no issues whatsoever. Also since there is no power grid, it's good to have more battery life (sometimes it rains for days).

If anyone reads this, any suggestions on how to make electronics last longer in such a humid environment? I've been thinking about building some sort of dry box with silica gel but I'm not really sure how... And to use an external monitor instead of the built in one...

I also tried to "get back" on IRC a couple of times but even on Libera pretty much everyone is idling and nobody seems to actually use it aside from having a client sit there "just in case".

In practice Discord seems to be where everyone is nowadays and while Discord is little more than a proprietary IRC with built-in history and images, people are active there. It basically feels the same as when i used mIRC back in the 90s and early 2000s - including the part where some channels/servers were so full of people i could barely keep up. If anything it is more than i ever saw on IRC as i am in 25 "servers"[0] with various channels in each (though like with IRC i only participate in a handful of them and i only occasionally browse the rest).

Fortunately Discord works via the web and i have the web interface pinned on Firefox all the time so i don't have to use their client.

[0] i really dislike the name as they aren't really servers, just groups of channels - everything is on Discord's proprietary server
No, it's different between Chinese and Thai.

Lexing is very clear in Chinese. It's never the case that you look at a Chinese sentence and don't know where a character ends and another begins. Take this sentence in both languages: "good morning, how are you"

早安，你好吗

This sentence clearly has "spaces" and I'm pretty sure any person illiterate in Chinese could tell you there are 5 characters / words. Technically the third character is composed of 人 and 尔 but I don't know that anyone, even kids or beginners, would mistake those as _not_ going together.

สวัสดีตอนเช้าคุณเป็นอย่างไรบ้าง

In contrast, Thai is as you say: lexing and parsing bleed together. There are 7 words in this sentence, but you need to lex the 10 syllables and run them through your mental dictionary to recognize the possible words they could be. My Thai is very limited, but there are examples of sentences out there that actually have multiple valid readings with different semantic meanings, depending on how you group sounds together.
The numbers I shared in my post are from some basic math! Over 5 years, you spend more money, even if it appreciates by 5% when you sell it. This is because $170k of your mortgage payments went to interest alone, not to mention HOA fees, property tax, mortgage insurance, and maintenance.

Unless the house appreciates a lot very fast, or you have very low interest rates, it’s very unlikely that a house in these cities ($650k, for example) will make you money at all in the mid-term, let alone beat renting.
"You need to use psychology (etc) to understand human behavior because there is no complete understanding of physics or biology" to accomplish that goal is exactly one of those tautological claims I was referring to earlier.

Why is it that biology and physics is insufficient to explain human behavior? You can't answer that question beyond attacking the question itself without invoking metaphysics, and there are pretty much no metaphysical claims you can make about human behavior that you can't also make about robot behavior.
Maybe not, but it just takes a few DMCA notices to ruin their career.
Regarding SponsorBlock, one of the channels I started watching about a year ago I'd never seen their sponsored segments before.

I had SponsorBlock temporarily off (because some channels get crazily over blocked -- How Ridiculous comes to mind) and realized that their sponsored segments were these short little skits comprised of the couple doing funny voices and wearing minimalist but funny costumes and generally hilarious. Still shilling products but if you have to see some ads that's exactly what you want and I'd missed it because of SponsorBlock!

Thanks for the Vinegar suggestion, that's great!
Then the spammers sell the hardware and real customers gets affected whenever they buy in the second-hand market. Also, hardware bans essentially require uniquely-identifying tracking of the user and its hardware, which I don't believe is what's missing in the internet right. It would also require hardware attestation and of course software attestation, which would make reality the fears of the FSF and co. regarding secure boot and the trusted platform module being used for user control.

If anything, I would like less tracking, even if it comes at a price of a worse signal to noise ratio on the internet.

Also, we know that this will be used for evil and ultimately companies will start banning "deprecated" or "unsupported" hardware from accessing services, be it their own or from competitors, consolidating even more the oligopolies in the hardware and software industries.
No.

The assumptions you make are incorrect. And even if they were, your conclusion is also incorrect.

Copyright does not require "pleasing". Only that the work have a minimum of human creativity. And courts have rules that is very minimal. Arranging otherwise uncopyrightabable facts can be enough.

Copyrighted works don't have to be unique, but it'll be real hard to prove independent invention.
I'm not sure I get the fear.
Oh no Redhat is making so much high quality OSS that distros adopt makes Redhat commercial support better simply because you can get the engineer that wrote it on the phone? I mean that does happen but I'm not sure it's a bad thing.

They'll never be able to swing an EEE on any of their OSS projects because other distros couldn't adopt them and RHEL only is a death-knell.

Big if for sure, but if IBM continues letting them stay course while they fuck about with Openstack then we'll be better for it. Redhat is the standard for what good stewardship of OSS looks like from a company.
serious question - what have you done?
I get where you're coming from but I disagree. Bluetooth is great, I can have my phone connected to any rental car in less than 3 minutes. Then I never have to touch the radio again.

"I'm not paying all that roaming for streaming when I have a large-storage set of devices."

So put the music on your phone and connect to the car radio via Bluetooth to avoid streaming charges.

None of the phones I have owned in the last ~4 years have even had a 3.5mm jack.
This seems like such a failing in both sides.

DD for letting an obviously huge and important client run up a bill so crazy they have to quit DD out of shame and governance.

CB for demonstrating a complete failure of financial management, vendor management and any sort of ability to track expenses.

Doesn’t help either side to get to a point where you have to quit to demonstrate you’re not totally incompetent and crazy.

Agreed on the trade offs, not sure if to the same degree though. It seems to me that it’s critical to know if you’re gonna end up going “against the grain” on a platform that makes as many decisions as a serverless one does.

Some interesting bullet points from the governor office:

* Rents have increased due to low vacancy rates. Every $100 increase in rent is associated with a 9% increase in homelessness.

* In Washington, 40% of households are paying more than 35% of their income in rent.

* Between 2019 and 2020, the median home price in Washington increased 13.7%

* As of 2021, the state had a housing deficit of 81,400 units

* Preliminary population data suggests an additional one million additional housing units will be needed by 2040 to keep up with population growth. That requires building 50,000 units a year.
Using ggml-vicuna-7b-4bit-rev1:

In most countries, the minimum age to obtain a driver's license and legally drive a car is 18 years old. However, there may be certain circumstances where a person under the age of 18 may be allowed to drive a car, such as in the case of a learner's permit or with the supervision of a licensed driver.

It ultimately depends on the specific laws and regulations in the jurisdiction where David lives, but generally, he would not be allowed to drive a car without a valid driver's license.
We spent the Trump years strongarming the rest of the world into uniform copyright laws. What happens now? “JK guys actually you can forget about what we said”. It seems that the only real option is to maintain copyright laws for all other countries while shortening your own. It seems like a huge competitive disadvantage for a country to be the first to do that.
It's not clear to me that an LLM could ever do that, given how they work - it's not aware of what it's saying (at least not in the same way you and I are) but rather using statistical methods to choose the next word each time.

After "....story, information, or ideas (" what is most likely to come next? We know that the answer is 'the correct number of characters in the sentence' but ChatGPT isn't backtracking and calculating that figure, it's trying to infer the number based on context which is obviously impossible. Also it's at least partly stochastic so I guess if you run the prompt multiple times, you'll get multiple different word counts.

Well, not really. Between just the populations of the US, Europe and China (places with high levels of internet connectivity), you have over 2 billion people (this site claims over 5 billion internet users: https://www.statista.com/topics/1145/internet-usage-worldwid...).

> But I don't think IP6 addresses are being assigned randomly, hmm

That is, in fact, exactly how IPv6 addresses are assigned using SLACC with Prefix Delegation. Your ISP assigns you a prefix, and your computer randomly picks an address within it. You can also self-assign a (non-routable, like 10...*) prefix from the fc00::/7 ULA block by randomly filling in the remaining 57 bits to form a /64 subnet.

Hate speech law can be real without any of the interpretation or spin put on it by the threat being real. I’m canadian. Canada has hate speech laws, and has for a long time. The stuff that gets charged under that law is almost always genocidal garbage. A few cases of less extreme (but still pretty extreme) content have been tried and tossed out.

I presume that your system refused to switch into a now-broken system sans Teams? To me that seems like a huge win -- refusing to leave you with a broken or otherwise half-configured system.

And if something did break? Rollback from the boot screen and you should be back in business (until you figure out how to pull in an overlay).

Unless I misunderstood the predicament with which you were left.

LLMs are good because they are lossy.

There is a simple exact model to compare against: Take the tokenized training data, put it into a Burrows–Wheeler transform, and add a few data structures. Then, given a context of any length, you can efficiently get the exact distribution for the next token in the training data. This is much cheaper to build and use than any LLM of comparable size. It's also much less useful, because it's overfitted to the training data.

LLMs approximate this model. By losing many little details and smoothing the probability distributions, they can generalize much better beyond the training data.
I believe it only happens when the age on an account is under 18. Also requires a Microsoft family account with parental controls to enable chat for <13. Some restrictions of this type can be modded out of the game, though IIRC the restriction on multiplayer is not possible to bypass due to servers checking each login with Mojang servers.

That is an example of a key that wasn't stored in secure hardware. I also believe that hardware security is going to get better over time. There is a clear path forward towards a more secure world of computing and we should not discount it due to mistakes during its early days.

>Take a look at what happens when CAPTCHAs become commonplace and the cost to solve them with AI becomes too high for spammers [1].

Spam mitigations can always be bypassed at a cost. The goal is to find ways to make it expensive and not scale for spammers while keeping it cheap and a good experience for users who aren't spammers.

That will probably not work in this case. It seems this is a person who is taking a question, querying GPT, then posting the answer verbatim. It is the same or a similar to the issue that StackOverflow found.
