I had similar thoughts about the general concept of using AI to automate AI Safety.

I really like their approach and I think it’s valuable. And in this particular case, they do have a way to score the explainer model.
And I think it could be very valuable for various AI Safety issues.

However, I don’t yet see how it can help with the potentially biggest danger where a super intelligent AGI is created that is not aligned with humans.
The newly created AGI might be 10x more intelligent than the explainer model. To such an extent that the explainer model is not capable of understanding any tactics deployed by the super intelligent AGI. The same way ants are most probably not capable of explaining the tactics delloyed by humans, even if we gave them a 100 years to figure it out.

Thanks! It wasn't in the ones I looked at.

Darn, it's still a short-sighted choice. Even "interstellar" would be good for another 75 years or so ( https://i4is.org/what-we-do/technical/project-dragonfly/ ), though "intergalactic" would be better, even if ipv6 were used.
This is sort of sad, because - 350 years!

I think the other side of the coin is the places stagnation and outright decay have set in, like many inner cities or rustbelt regions that have not thrived. The opposite would be places like tokyo where everything is turned over rapidly and the new is ousted to be almost immediately replaced by the newer and newest.
Wow. What a dishonest way of pulling things out of context to paint a false picture!

> "When women..." - This was in the context of describing how precious women are because they are the ones who bear our future children. Not because they are lesser people in any way. [Chapter 11 - page 32]

> "Today, we..." - Again, if you actually read the thing, here's the point from that section: "Second, apart from considerations of this sort, there is no intrinsic reason to favor male over female politicians.". The silver lining point was made in relation to a description of females leaning towards social welfare schemes, which of course is the opposite, of the goal of the author, in his cause for a stateless society.

> "It is eminently..." I think it's your own wishes coloring this section, so there's no point in going through it. Try to read it again - where is he saying something you find racist?
Office still offers a permanent license.
Silly question, how did they get their patent granted in 16 months when I have some patents pending for more than 3x as long?
Parallel or something like that lets you run windows on mac os.

I think thats a fair decision, always found macs looking nice, but dislike many of the apps. Windows and ms suite on mac is on my bucket list now.
Were you surprised when Apple chose to pick one recently used by a quasi-competitor?
The best time to start blogging was twenty years ago. The second best is today - having a personal blog is an investment that just keeps on compounding over time, even if you only post things there a few times a year.

Every finite floating point value precisely represents an exact quantity. Arithmetic isn't lossless though. This isn't a special property of floats. Decimals behave the same way.
What makes things so bleak? My small county is somewhat below the national median income (so doing fine but not wildly wealthy) and like half of the people that live here live within 10 miles of 3 large grocers and multiple other grocers. The most concentrated population is within a couple miles, and the people that live further away are doing so because they want to live outside of town, they mostly aren't stuck there or whatever.

Small stores out in the county mostly don't have much fresh stuff, but probably a few things.
Sorry, I thought we were talking about mass shootings.

At what point is it discussing a subject, vs basically verbatim listing things, methods, reasoning from a book?
You do now. But if you are arrested, you can be compelled to do that, and in a few years EEG skullcaps will probably be sufficient.

Honestly, it baffles me that so many people on a site devoted to technology evaluate long-term trends based on current capabilities. Capacity is going to continue to double every ~2 years. If we can't make transistors 2x smaller, we'll find a different architecture to make transistor arrays 2x larger, or [something].

Technical progress compounds. It's often lumpy rather than linear, but it's going to keep imposing an accelerating effect wherever people see profit in applying it.
> It's amazing how badly the Java ball got dropped.

It still boggles my mind that Sun Microsystems fully owned the tech for the only ubiquitous browser plugin for full fledged applications with > 95% deployment and somehow screwed it up and went out of business a few years later. Despite all their engineering prowess it seems like they just couldn't make Java work seamlessly and smoothly. I'd like to think it was just a hard engineering challenge, but as someone who went all in on Java WebStart for deployment at one point and then watched them take it from a highly attractive platform to actively ruining it within a few years, I have to attribute it more to incompetence.
Can somebody elaborate why would you want to use Alpine instead Clear Linux?
Never really felt like reading Metamorphosis or Kafka again

Legally you 'can', but does apple have to support it? do they have to expose those apis to the public? are they forced to implement them and spend the time to do validation testing for it?
I wrote https://github.com/cretz/asmble which has an AOT compiler and interpreter for WASM. Haven't worked on it for a while though.
I really can't tell what this piece is trying to say.

> The earliest producers of this music dreamt of “arranging energy”, of being conduits for the anti-social/inhuman, to “combat the mediocre audio and visual programming being fed to the inhabitants of Earth”. Gone are all the elements with clever blocks of alien dissonance, driving paranoia or ecstatic release. None of the tracks is pulled forward by second order rhythms of swinging, high-octane percussion that make them groove.

This makes no sense to me. Techno is broader, deeper, and weirder than it's ever been. I think the author is just going to the wrong clubs and listening to the wrong producers.
Yes, that's the risk, and people are literally doing that because "if it put them in the recipe, it knows that quantity is safe for me", or "I asked it if it's okay and it cited a study saying that it is".
That abstraction layer cannot always avoid creating write amplification when you send it writes that are too small.

It's a natural consequence of the IEEE 754 standard for floating point numbers.
The course has to be designed with cheating prevention and detection in mind. So: some things you want to do are not possible. Takes significant extra time to develop course materials (cannot reuse previous years’, may need to shuffle questions and answers on tests, etc). Trying to make sure questions are not easy to google/GPT. Time spent dealing with cheating and consequences, e.g. determining if cheating happened, collecting evidence to present to honor council.

Like anything else free speech has to have some caveats, being an absolutist paints you into a corner and doesn’t allow you to see the full range of issues. From the old shouting fire in a crowded theater to inciting genocide, words can absolutely have real world consequences, and can be manipulated by outside forces that individuals are not equipped to fight against.
How many million units of AI hardware did they sell?
Please stop with this nonsense. It's obviously wrong.

The mere existence of the Starship design, which doesn't break any physical laws, shows your claim is nonsense.
This is just so alien to me. I know it's not rare but the idea of pushing my physical limits or competing for no reward holds absolutely no appeal for me. I only aim to be healthy which is hard enough with a chronic illness.
I feel confident in saying that'll happen within 5-10.
I remember printing to certain HP printers that had an infrared port - such amazing capabilities.

It still feels more capable to me than things like the Raspberries Pi.

Of course there will be tons of complaints, Amazon is huge. Picking out a few of them is meaningless.
Currently, you're limited to QEMU with software emulation or a Linux proot/chroot. KVM support isn't in a stable version of Android yet but it's coming soon. With an unlocked bootloader and potentially a few kernel tweaks you probably could (as well as Windows and any other compatible OS).

I don't think the experience will be very usable, though. iPhones contain dedicated hardware that Android devices don't have (and vice versa) and decent GPU acceleration may be a long time off with the standard driver quality Android vendors deliver.
Western medicine is one of the primary drivers of global life expectancy increases only though vaccines, antibiotics, and trauma care. Other than that it has had very little effect: we could eliminate all other forms of medical care and average life expectancy would decrease only marginally. Public sanitation and food safety enforcement have had much larger effects.

Where western medicine has had larger effects is increasing quality of life. Now you can get a hip replacement to restore your mobility or take a pill to fix your erectile dysfunction.
It's interesting to see that the same thing has been happening on the other side of the Atlantic. I grew up in a farming community in County Clare, Ireland (~1980 - 1999) and many farms there have been abandoned due to the low returns from agriculture.
You mean we have to always oppose someone else’s incentives?

You mean no options except the Microsoft/Apple app store. And I think you also can hook into the Microsoft updated without being on the app store but not completely sure. And you can just use a existing auto updater library or similar instead of implementing it yourself ....
Perhaps if you read it instead of falling prey to counter propaganda yourself, you'd realise that they don't claim that it has anything to do with religions.

I'm not exactly sure what we're arguing about, since Beato doesn't leave much doubt that it's not a ripoff. The keys are different, but the tempi are pretty darn close. Your "probably" is doing a lot of work here.

LGIO doesn't fit a pattern of "unknown artist writes something, sues the big artist only when he/she has a hit." LGIO was a big hit on its own.

Plagiarism is clearly a judgment call. I don't know if Townsend was willing to settle for a reasonable sum or not. Probably not, since they went to trial, which was just asking to end up with nothing.
I already said that they COULD use their E-mail address if they wanted to. I said ANY STRING. What is the problem?

You do realize that millions of Web sites, including every financial institution's (that I've ever seen, anyway) let (or require) users set up legitimate IDs that are separate from their E-mail addresses, right? Or is this news to you?

Millions of forums based on PHPBB alone use proper user IDs instead of forcing users to use an E-mail address. That's just one open-source forum system: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=546501

If you want more info on why E-mail addresses are a stupid user ID: https://goldmanosi.blogspot.com/2012/06/forcing-people-to-us...
Yes and no - 1-2-3 is an extensively advanced piece of software that took thousands of man hours to get where it was.

You could write 20% of it in a few days, maybe 50% in a month, but that last bit would take … thousands of man hours.
I'm closing in on 40 and trying to run my first sub 4 hour marathon before then. I figure you don't really start running that fast after 40, so this is my last chance to ever be a 4 hour marathoner.

You're arguing about what happened in a case the paper clearly doesn't argue against - I was asking for an example of "blackmail" by the papers definition, where it was easy to identify the witness. You provided an example of extortion and definitely not an example of the definition of blackmail provided in the paper, so the whole point is kind of moot.

So instead, going by what the paper talks about, could you come up with an example where it's easy to identify the victim?

Even so, the matter discussed is if blackmailing should be illegal. So here's an example. I go to a doctor who advertises as a specialist in thyroid diseases. Being a doctor myself I can instantly tell he's a quack doctor. Who is the victim if I "blackmail" him by saying he has to pay me $10.000 to not tell the world about it? Is he the victim? He obviously breached contract by selling me something he was not in possession of, so in that case, I'm the victim of fraud, but is he the victim for me seeking restitution by means of blackmail? Well, maybe you could say that the other people who believe him are the victims, but they are not the victims of the blackmail, they are is I was, the victim of his fraud.

Let's take another example where a previous crime was not necessarily involved. I have found you cheating on your girlfried. I tell you to pay me $10.000 not to go tell her. Should making that offer be illegal? Are you a victim when you can simply agree not to? I don't know if you read the paper, but the point made is that asking for an amount of money not to disseminate knowledge shouldn't be illegal. Would you say NDA's should be illegal?
But what about the allergens? The risk of salmonella? Have you seen the damage an angy chicken can do with those claws? I've heard that Avian Influenza is on the rise again. Can't they just learn about chickens on their EduTablets?

I assume you're talking about Apache Arrow?

Interesting! Don't think I've seen this one.

https://arrow.apache.org/

Edit: I'm surprised to not find anything when I try to find projects that try to use Apache Arrow in unity 3d. Seems to be a lot of interesting potential in leveraging various simulation libraries in game like applications.

Edit2: Ah, probably because something like waterlilly would have to be rewritten quite a bit too use arrow.
Some crazy person modified their Framework to use the Acer Spin 713 OLED display[0], but I really hope down the road there's an OLED option to purchase directly from their Marketplace. I'm betting the Framework 16 will have it, but there still hasn't been too much revealed about it.

The speakers are also disappointing; you'll definitely want to experiment with different sound equalizers. On Fedora, I'm using this Advanced Auto Gain preset[1] with PipeWire/EasyEffects.

I've been writing bloggish stuff for Websites, since 1996 or so. I don't think I have had any site last too long. I have an old personal site[0], which is probably circa 2K or so, but it's pretty much moribund. I just have it up on blocks, and I'm stripping it for parts.

Or we can build trust using black box methods like we do with humans, e.g., extrapolating from past behavior, administering tests, and the like.
Firstly, I absolutely agree with both people here. Industrial agriculture is large-scale enough to be able to use everything with extreme efficiency. Secondly, modern industrial agricultural practices result in the transformation of nature into an unsustainable hell-scape which will collapse in on itself within a few centuries at the latest.

But I don't think you should consider humans as separate from nature, there is evil to being artificial and there is no evil to sometimes going against nature. Humans are, by their nature, a species who take natural fruits and labour upon them to transform them, to give them a new use-value. That is a, if not even the, universal constant which has held through every age of human (pre)history. Humans, just as bees or termites or elephants or trees, transform nature by our nature. Everything natural is artificial and everything artificial is natural. To transform nature, to bend it and to change it is our species being, it is part of our role in nature to transform it as do countless other species. However, unlike those guided by pure instinct, we have both the ability to imagine and project through labour that ideal into reality. Importantly, that's not really any more artificial than a beehive is, artificial is not a very well defined concept or in any way scientifically useful. Once again, it is part of our natural role, our nature, to transform nature around us. When we do transform nature in major ways, we speak for the trees, as much as destroy them. However, our societal development has led us into a transformation of nature which is wasteful and unsustainable. These are very scientifically useful concepts and things like sustainability can be experimented upon and proven. Imagining alternative transformations is the first step to projecting them into reality, to transforming nature once again in a way which has a long-term benefit for us all. There do however exist major economic barriers which can never be broken which prohibit permaculture on any real scale, though that's only true as long as the economy is as it is now. Beside the point for now. My point is that it is not useful to consider ideal and badly defined concepts like artificial and natural and a struggle between the two. It is much more useful to think in terms of our nature, how our nature and labour is governed by our society, how by our nature of transforming nature that leads to the current unsustainable mode of life, and then think about what needs to be done within that more explanative framework to imagine not only unreachable ideals but to project them into reachable ideals in the real, material world.

I've never seen a site that used legitimate IDs but offered no way to recover them. If you forget your ID, you can have it sent to your E-mail address.

I also said that users COULD use their E-mail addresses if they wanted to. An E-mail address is a string, and I said "any string." I mean you yourself pointed out, "On Steam, people login with their username or email address"

So what's the problem?
> As influencers and haute couture have firmly established in years prior, the Internet made it trivially easy to data-mine subcultures. By re-enacting their idiosyncrasies in shallow-yet-sufficient detail, they expand and reconfigure them, diluting their special meaning, washing away surrounding ecosystems.

For those who didn't or aren't going to read it, this is the point.
You can run Chrome, which has a virtual machine in it. Maybe not the same kind of virtual machine that you're talking about, but this is the kind of virtual machine that Apple has banned: any kind of code that isn't statically compiled, that isn't immediately readable. This is why Chrome (actual, not the thin cosmetic shell over Safari WebView available now) can't run on iOS: Chrome has to download & run JS code, and that's impossible because it doesn't know ahead of time what code to run. Apple has society in the pinchers.

Conversely, I have no respect at all for the m-f a-h at Google who have, in MV3, pulled an Apple and banned anything but statically compiled code in WebExtensions. Google is doing the worst thing Apple did, but to the web. And I absolutely hate it. Hate it hate it hate it hate it. Abominable way to hurt the web. https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/139
there is a difference between neuron wiring/conditioning/learning and the changes I was referring, too

you could say on is changes to the parameters of your brain

and the other are more fundamental changes

like trauma can cause brain damage which can show up on scans in similar form to physical caused brain damage....

From an economic standpoint, there is no sense in small scale farming.

From a personal standpoint, the sensible thing to do is to scale it down to subsistence gardening for yourself and your family. That is what my family does. I remember, when I was still young, they still used to sell some produce. Nowadays it is entirely consumed by the family or gifted out. The benefit of this, is that you are free from economic demand. You grow whatever you please, because you want to have it at the dinner table.
ImageBind: Meta's latest multimodal embedding also has depth, infrared and IMU
With all that screaming from a user on the main competing network, I really need to hear a response from the Bluesky team to form an opinion here. And understand better why this guy is so upset about this destined-to-fail network to curse and foam about it.
I am sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing all this here. It has really put the article into perspective.
This is not a question that warrants much abstract analysis. Only relevant if you have simultaneous offers or work at one of the companies and get an offer at the other and are faced with the concrete numbers and a choice.

Me personally wouldn’t prefer working at a place with sucky tooling (build systems, code review, testing) and comparatively inferior average infrastructure engineering while taking a lower pay simply because the company is great at building iPhones. Sure I commend their attitude towards privacy and I am a happy customer.
Any other embedded programmers or older people that remember what an AT protocol really is confused every time they see a story about Bluesky?
