Consider the AI Sec Ops future in the EU where in the run up to an election a political operative makes all widely used AIs "forget" about the competition by submitting a flurry of fraudulent right to be forgotten requests.

This is no stretch of the imagination due to existence of fraudulent copyright takedown requests being submitted daily to Youtube against legitimate channels (with Youtube giving said legitimate channels very real copyright strikes against their accounts regularly, with only very visible cases having a chance of reversal)...

That's a massive, massive exaggeration.
mine's ff4400 :D

Or #f40 in CSS.

I see here there's no 420, so I'm gonna give 420420 a shot. :D https://news.ycombinator.com/topcolors

Make that #cbd420 - it doesn't add a light foreground for a dark background.
Thank god someone is finally directing tax payer capital towards AI because the free market just wasnt getting it done.
The article is about talking to modems right?
Sure, and judging by System Z sales there's still a demand for earthquake-resistant machines with hot-swappable CPUs.

But for most of us, infrequent downtime is acceptable, and most single-machine downtimes are either automatically mitigated or have very limited impact. In that scenario, getting a prosumer SSD and over-provisioning it can be a sensible choice.
I don’t see why that is unreasonable to do. Whether it is ranching or hunting, why wouldn’t you?

Windows and Apple does. Linux is typically exposed through OpenSSL or an OpenSSL equivalent library.

The downside to the OS provided libraries is that you are at the mercy of what the OS provides. You need Server 2022 or a relatively new Windows 10 build to have TLS 1.3 available.
Needs a Startup News badge for people here before the rename.
I'm surprised mass shooters all love ARs. A cheap plastic 9mm pistol with hollowpoint rounds is plenty deadly.
You cannot extend anyone’s work if you have no food or resources.
It’s likely that the majority of EV production globally will shift to LFP in the coming years. Mostly due to cost but also the significant lifecycle and safety advantages of LFP.

NMC will remain dominant in high end, performance models but LFP will be the mainstream.
Wait, you think Python has good tooling? It’s literally bottom of the barrel of all the languages I’ve used. There is literally an ongoing argument about the new Rye tool that just got released because it brings the number of tools needed/used for Python just for _building_ up to 15!
States change over time. Colorado used to be quite red a couple decades ago.

And states aren’t monolithic just because they “red” or “blue”. You’ll find liberals and conservatives in every state.

I understand not wanting to live in a state that has laws you can live under, whether abortion or gun control or marijuana, but remove those and there are still a ton of options.
It’s being listened to by bots. Advertisers are paying for their ads to be listened to by humans.
This is speculative technology, still in early prototype phase
> double it for cryptographic signatures and reply-to metadata

Ah, email, where a message of 114 characters with no formatting ends up over 9KB due to authentication and signatures, spam analysis stuff, delivery path information and other metadata. Sigh. Although I doubt this will end up as large as email, the lesson is that metadata can end up surprisingly large.

In this instance, I think 1–2KB is probably more realistic than the half kilobyte of “double it”.
With Gleap, you get roadmap functionality, live chat, AI integration, multiple integrations for task management, a help center and an outbound module for chat messages and email.

Overall, Gleap is a tool that gives you many tools in one tool at high quality. Often we see a bunch of tools thrown together at low quality. This is not the case with Gleap.

Quite the opposite. Gleap is an alternative to Intercom, and even though they’ve taken a lot of inspiration from Intercom, they’re also doing some revolutionary things.
We are composed of matter and we are conscious, we take this as being axiomatic. Given we have one certain example, the question is then how does the body do it, and how could we do it in other substrates: how do we go from "just physics" to mind [1].

The short answer is: chemical reactions start a chain reaction of abstraction towards higher and higher forms of collective intelligence.

For some reason, perhaps something with the way the Hilbert space vector obeying the Schrödinger equation which we usually call "the universe" is [2], but also given the ridiculous breadth and depth of possible explorations of the biological pathways [3], "chunks" of matter tend to group together, they group and form stars and planets, but they also group and form formaldehydes and acetaldehydes and many more. Given enough tries, across multiple environments, in some lucky hydrothermal vents abiogenesis was probably started [4]. Once we had the first agential "chunk" of matter, a group of matter which has a definition of the boundary between a "self", no matter how tiny [5], and an exterior environment, it was more of a game of waiting (~4 billion years) for this tiny agent to grow into an agent with higher-order thinking, self-referentiality, metacognition, and the likes.

Neural networks, as in matrix multiplications, are not conscious because they have no mechanism for deciding what is the environment and what is their own, they are a hammer, sitting there, expecting to be used, not a lacrymaria olor [6], exploring the environment for survival and fun. Could we have neural networks in an agent-like architecture starting to behave more like thermostats, setting goals for themselves? Probably.

For me it shows the "F Word!" and "Rick Roller" badges but I'm pretty sure I'm neither. It would be helpful that at least for the negative badges it would show the source.

A quick search showed that I once posted a story that has the f-word in the URL. I don't feel that justifies to be branded as an f-word user.

EDIT: Otherwise I quite like it. The idea as well as the execution!

EDIT: This reminds me of when procmail was new and shiny (a long time ago). The smart-alec I was created a rule that threw away all mails the contained the string "viagra". Of course the bytes that comprise the string were coincidentally in an important binary attachment.

Oops, now I probably gained the "Viagra User" HN badge;-) You hopefully see where the issue with a simple keyword based approach is.
Yeah, their chicken egg songs are something else.
I'll upvote this.

So tired of western folk (as usual) being so full of themselves only because they had pushed almost all of the nasty production outside of their countries and get to flex stats how supposedly good they are.

How about instead we maybe count individual carbon footprint by the consumption? (Oops)
It seems like blue sky is fun right now because it’s exclusive. There doesn’t seem to be anything fundamental to the technology that differentiates the experience from Twitter.
I feel like that’s one of those things that people write thinking they can just put whatever they want in a contract.
It says

To use the Mastodon web application, please enable JavaScript. Alternatively, try one of the native apps for Mastodon for your platform.

Good job, Mastodon. (No, I am not the same guys that complain they don't see javascript games or utilities without javascript. But I think I should be able to see a text on the Internet?)
They can still use dark patterns to make people avoid the VMs. E.g., show unnecessary security warnings.
Thanks! Completely overlooked that they talked about ‘description’, not ‘descriptor’ in several places.

It would have helped me if they pointed out that difference in a clearer way. The Linux man page says ‘Locks created by flock() are associated with an open file description (see open(2))’, and that says:

“The term open file description is the one used by POSIX to refer to the entries in the system-wide table of open files. In other contexts, this object is variously also called an "open file object", a "file handle", an "open file table entry", or—in kernel-developer parlance—a struct file.”
The debugging/repl experience is pretty good, at least.
Doesn’t matter, it’s all java. You can just remove the authentication.
Yes. I also just realized I can now use Hibernate to abstract all my db calls away in case I want to change db backend later. This is a life changing tech!
>Of course they think about their profits and shareholders. But nobody is forced to get the software

Yes, nobody is threatened with death if they don't comply. I'll give you that.

For many pro users, with project files in that software, compatible hardware, accustomed to workflows, a studio setup based on it, etc, "just go to other software or use Garageband which is free" is as good as forcing.
You're confusing misdirection for divide and conquer. Divide and conquer would mean the US splits up so China can be the superpower.

Available Spare: 100%
Available Spare Threshold: 10%
Percentage Used: 0%
Data Units Read: 626,936 [320 GB]
Data Units Written: 22,262,139 [11.3 TB]

This is on a few months old PC which is why percentage used is still 0%. The number does slowly go up over time especially if you do heavy writing.

As with LED lightbulbs, the consumer industry is focused on costcutting to deliver shitty products at low prices. Any high quality SSD is more than adequate for consumer use. Main thing to look at is how many layers the flash has. SLC is pretty much not available in consumer products. Triple layer is very adequate. All the cheap products have four layer, which you don't want unless you know you're not going to be writing often.

Firmware bugs or bad controllers are still a potential issue. I have a 1.5 year old drive which is at something like 65% percentage used, it's a big drive with a high TBW rating and only a moderate amount of data written to it, but the excessive wear is known issue with that model. It'll get replaced under warranty but that's only kicking the can down the road since the replacement will have the same issue.

Apparently I said it 18 times, which doesn't seem right to me. A Google search didn't return a single example, though there were some instances in replies. Wonder if those are included.
What you using to reach 169Mhz? Is than band unlicensed?
Do we know whether the machine on which this occurred had ECC memory?
There's a decent working paper that has benchmarks on this, if you're interested.

There are many types of reasoning, but GPT-4 gets 97% on casual discovery, and 92% on counterfactuals (only 6% off from human, btw) with 86% on actual causality benchmarks.

I'm not sure yet if the question is correct, or even appropriate/achievable to what many may want to ask (i.e. what 'the public's is interested in is typically lost after it is defined in any given study); however this is one of the best works available to address this problem I've seen so far, so perhaps it can help.
Which states? I mean, if you asked me, California’s gun control laws suppress the rights of many people, but I’m guessing you don’t agree?

My point is, you have your own political views, but at the same time live in a country with a lot of differing views.

You should feel free to live wherever you want but at the same time realize you’ll never find a place that 100% agrees with all your views.
You have 55 countries between rank 85 and rank 140 that are better match to Pakistan than India: https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2022 , why this privilege to only us Indians? I read the above comment as "See we are as good as Indians, this is just a blip".
I left Kaiser 10+ years ago mainly because my pcp only accepted CareFirst and I liked her enough to switch from Kaiser after nearly 15 years.

No real complaints except the PCPs seemed Alright and I didn’t like having no choice.
Firstly it's interesting that they think they get to decide whether the user runs an adblocker or not. I'm going to decide that for myself thank you very much yt.

Secondly, the yt experience without adblocking is so poor that I cringe any time I have to watch something on a device (eg my phone) that I don't have adblocking set up on. For whatever reason at the moment I get bombarded with get-rich-quick scams promising to teach me trading (thanks but I used to work in the city - I don't need your bs "advice") and deepfake scams saying Elon Musk is giving away his money.
Why not just buy SLC?

That’s what shoe companies want you to believe. I just run until they fall apart. A couple of thousand km easily.

The average car age is 12 years:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/738667/us-vehicles-proje...

So that's only 4 more years on average. And modern cars are quite reliable.

> The car will live on for many decades in the second-hand market and still needs to be repaired.

Cars that live 20+ years are probably a minority.
My experience with mastodon is that both explore and the feed are miles behind the experience I have on twitter to discover content I care about. No offense but everybody that switched from twitter to mastodon that I know went back. In the end I dont care what protocol you use but mastodon experience really isn't great IMO so I tend to be willing to give Bluesky a shot before I judge.
I was wasn't trying to eliminate money. I was thinking more along the lines of incentivizing feeding the money back into the economy.

Sanitation and hygiene, dental care, antibiotics, and vaccines.

In some cases, improved diet.

Those are, I believe, the biggest factors in increasing life expectancies.

Perhaps also pregnancy and infant care, getting 0 to 5 year olds past historically high death rates. And, sadly, an area (not the only one) where the U.S. has regressed significantly.
I used to pass functions by just creating a class making a noun of a verb, i.e. I passed objects.
It only works if you're sending it, so you have to put it in a ping payload, to make a "ping of death".

This only works because Hayes patented the idea of the escape code being +++ followed by a delay, so to evade the patent, most other modem OEMs removed the delay requirement.
Matlab users should switch to Julia. It’s a real programming language, and better in many ways.

I provide the option of Julia in my tutorials. Students are lazy, and don’t want to explore something new. Most of them stick with matlab.

What prevents matlab users from switching? The syntax is similar.
I used to have a reasonably simple notebook for a paper which took about 35 minutes to compile on an old university-provided CPU; even when opening it for the second time.

Therefore, I‘m really excited for the improvements in code caching! Thanks to Tim Holy, Jameson Nash, Valentin Churavy, and others for your work
Same here, had a client ask for an AT command set to have a brand new nRF52 talking with a Cortex-M3 running some other legacy code.
If we are viewing this spiritually, then yes, plants have consciousness, though not necessarily human consciousness.

There are shamanic practices involving plant teachers and interacting with the spirit of the plant. There are these Tantric ideas of plant medicine and the afflictions they heal, arising together.

Or that, our bodies are optimized for walking, yet we carry the means as climbers when our ancestors lived and learned from the standing people. (our lats are both the largest upper body muscle and the most underused one in day-to-day modern life). There is meaning and significance in climbing and walking. I can go on.

I wouldn't be that surprised if LFP batteries were approaching half of all EV battery production now.

I agree LFPs are currently the right chemistry for mass-production vehicles. NMC is for luxury cars, or use cases with special requirements (e.g. better cold weather performance).

I expect LFP will eventually be superseded by some other technology. Though it's possible they'le be superseded by something that's a direct improvement on LFP rather than something completely new.

Here's a rewritten headline, definitely not ChatGPT approved: "Salty ex-Googler tries to slow down competition by mounting misinformation campaign in press".

What a ridiculous charade. For years Google reacted to every OpenAI announcement or API launch by doing a blog post stating that they had already done it, their models were much better and they weren't releasing any evidence because their tech wasn't "safe" enough to make available to anyone, except, um, the benignly enlightened employees of Google themselves. And for years, like a fool, I believed them when they said their tech was better.

ChatGPT ripped the mask off, letting everyone see this supposed danger they had to be protected from for themselves. And it's laughable. Then Bard launched and we learned that Team Hinton's models weren't really better at all, that whole message was corporate misinformation or maybe self delusion or maybe both. Then it became "PaLM is definitely GPT-4 quality, we just aren't making it available yet". Uh huh.

Now we have this even more pathetic sight. Hinton, trying to set himself up as a classic public intellectual by extrapolating a trend into infinity until it reaches an end of the world that might happen "5-20" years from now, citing as evidence Proof By Snoop Dogg. He can go over there in the corner along with the "world hunger through overpopulation" and "New York under water by 2010" people. Having spent a lifetime chasing a goal he clearly never expected nor even wanted to achieve, he's now been lapped by his own former student who was busy actually making the AI revolution happen whilst Googlers were telling each other how virtuous they were.

And oh yes, these supposed great dangers. What are they, according to Hinton? Ourselves. Like all left wing purity spirallers, his biggest fear is that people like him lose their power over politics and information. We might believe things written by an AI instead of journalists. These people claim to live in fear of misinformation, but it's not credible. Where were they when US media was waging an industrial-scale misinformation campaign about non-existent Russian AI bots on Twitter? The ones who were supposedly secretly fielding GPT-4 quality bots to make Americans vote for Trump? So many claims, all fallen, and yet these brave anti-disinfo warriors so concerned about elections were nowhere to be found at the time.

Every time another round in this anti-progress, "let us smart people control things" salvo from Hinton appears, I breathe a deep sigh of relief that Team Sutskever exists and is doing so well. Left to their own devices Googlers would have happily sat around writing blog posts about how dangerous we all are forever. And I say that, sadly, as an ex Googler.
Youtube made it free in the first place so they could win a monopoly over people who charged for subscriptions. I'm happy to contribute directly to people who produce things I like, but I don't understand the mentality of people who say that we should be compelled to support Youtube's business model.

"Harari is a hack etc." - I'm not sure what you're referring to; perhaps you were replying to somebody else?
...Yes you absolutely can. The web was never meant to be your monetization tool. A bunch of mouth breathing, money grubbing assholes came up with the idea that the web should be the next great advertising frontier.

And as the creation of the Universe was, so to was the web becoming the next advertising frontier widely considered a bad move. So get off my web, and go set up your monetized fiefdom elsewhere. This place was not meant for your ilk. Leave us, and take your shitty rip-off content syndication farms with you. Leave and sully our search indexes no more! Go and find your own damn playground.

Oh, wait, what's that? Don't want to move somewhere or build a network that requires opt-in to your shitty monetization schemes because you'd miss out on all the eyeballs that won't follow you?

Well... Now you know why we complain. Because your arse feels entitled to pollute the shit out of our indexes and poison our wells.
IEEE754 has a separate +Infinity and -Infinity to go along with SNaN and QNaN.

For instance:

- as parent said 1/0 is Inf.

- as parent said 1/(-0) and log(0) is -Inf.

- sqrt(-1) and 0/0 is NaN.

[1] https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Infinity-...
(thanks, I was trying to make the point that this was probably a fear apple had)
Using the term doomer generally implies the doom is unwarranted/an overreaction. Parent is asking whether GP thinks Hinton is justified in predicting actual doom.
I think this is referring to the content-hashed user posts. Using this model one can pull content from _anywhere_ without having to worry about MITM forgeries etc. This opens up the structure of the network, basically decentralizing it even _more_.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this though.
Eh I only have 2 servers with them. I had difficulty with one becoming unresponsive right after setup, but after grabbing a replacement I’ve had no issues with them for the last year.
Yeah, that's not realistic. This is as much code as goes through a CI I'm working with many times a day. I'd constantly see errors on an unknown variable if this was a real rate.
You're on the right track.

I was taught the "right hand rule" depicted here [1] - the stationary chopstick is held at the near end between the bases of the thumb and index fingers (to prevent it from slipping around), and the far (towards food) end rests on the middle finger. The other chopstick is held with the thumb and index fingers (near the tips) and moves around as a lever to pinch the food.

You may have better luck with other grips - I am hopeless with the "standard grip" but perhaps it will work for you.

If you want to get good quickly, there is an exercise you can do - pour a small amount of uncooked rice into a bowl, and using only chopsticks transfer the grains to another bowl. Then repeat going the opposite direction, over and over until you either master the chopsticks or swear them off forever :).
