What do you think happens if that AI starts lying about what units are available or starts returning bad data? Palantir also mentions wiring this into autonomous workflows. What happens when someone prompt injects a military AI that's capable of executing workflows autonomously?

This is kind of a weird comment to be honest. I want to make sure I understand, is your assertion that prompt injection isn't a big deal because no one will wire an LLM into a serious application? Because I feel like even cursory browsing on HN right now should be enough to prove that tech companies are looking into using LLMs as autonomous agents.
XFS has been the default for everything since RHEL7 IIRC (the smallest disk I tried was something like 5 GBs).
Furthermore you can target specific persons : heads of states, gov personnel, parliament representatives,... and their families, friends. You can get them "conditioned", you can drive them to commit errors for the purpose of black mailing them, etc...
Amazing. Reading more carefully, as FabHK pointed out above, they aren't even applying the obvious correction. They're just reporting the positive rate of the imperfect test. I've implemented Diggle's method [0]. When I have time, I'll see if they've provided enough data to do a proper analysis, and maybe write a blog post about it or something.

My only reason for buying an ASUS motherboard was because, for a while, they had (as far as my research went a couple years ago) a complete monopoly on Thunderbolt 3-compatible AMD motherboard (ASUS ProArt Creator, IIRC?)

Apart from that, tempted to agree.
Not every Brother printer is usable.

So that they can work with generic drivers, on a range of platforms, without much setup complexity.

486 was certainly not snappy, though Win95 did technically run even on a 386 with 4MB of RAM (i know because i tried it back when Win95 was new).

However on the Pentium MMX@200MHz with 32MB of RAM i had ~1996/97 it was very snappy. On the same machine i also ran my first Linux, Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 in 1999, with KDE1 where it also felt very fast.

Good catch. Edited my statement accordingly.

But big picture, Turkey in 2023 is much closer to the era of Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo socially, economically, and politically, so the same kinds of worries about political violence holds.
1) My primary concern will always be tied to governments with the ability to arrest me.

2) Because our personal data is trivial for govs/corp/LEO to purchase, it isn't obvious how this risk budges the needle.
Erdogan was a good leader as long as he was applying his beliefs. Once he decided to listen to the most uneducated part of turkey he became a dictator. More than 40% of the people still like him. If it wasn't the earthquake we would still be first!

On the other side, Kilicdaroglu is a worst nationalist than Erdogan. Most probably for me, he will try to exploit the situation and become the new king. I hope the other members will hold him.
This solution only works if you believe no filename extensions will ever be created (or popularized) from here on out.

So, instead of hoping for that, why not search for solutions that actually will stand the test of time and aren't as fragile as "freeze the filename extensions!"

Also one of the really funny parts of this entire debate is the focus on filenames when most average people aren't even aware of their existence. Windows and Mac have hidden them by default for years now. It's only an image if it shows the image thumbnail, it's only a folder if it shows the folder icon, and so on. I bring this up because it shows how fragile this solution is. You can't get people to adhere to the rule of looking out for ".zip" if they don't even know it exists!

I wish more TLDs did what travel, tel, and US did(or tried to do, in the latter's case).

Travel vetted each applicant, so you'd know that you were probably not visiting a scam site.

Tel was a little different, and more of a registry, but again...not malicious.

Us was more standard, only requiring that you be a US resident to register. But because it was a govt contract, any whisper of a domain being used maliciously was met with an audit that would shut it down if you couldn't provide a passport. It wasn't perfect, but better than nothing.

It would be nice if more TLDs audited registrants or restricted registrations in some way. A TLD that gains trust is more likely to gain adoption, IMO, even if it is a gTLD.

Instead, it seems to be a giant money grab from all parties involved, which has greatly hurt both trust and adoption.
It's like Toyota will disable my car if I did not go to its dealers to do oil changes or regular maintenance.

Make your ink cartridge super high quality with reasonable price, I will buy it. Selling a printer at dirty cheap price and expect to recoup the discount via over priced ink cartridges? your sales and marketing department are doing it wrong, and it's not my problem at all.

Besides, who needs printers these days anymore?

Can't believe someone downvoted your perfectly reasonable comment.
Yes, non-proud HP InkJet owner. You own the printer. However, you MUST be subscribed to their HP Whatever Program and pre-pay them the amount of pages you’d like to print on a monthly basis. You cannot print unless you are on the program. I did read these terms because it was insane, and I’m paraphrasing.

It looks like they updated their program terms to force you to buy their ink. Honestly I thought that was already the case since I had tried using cheaper ink and the printer rejected it.
Given the serious risk, we should fix the bigger loophole where foreign or national bodies can use our data.

"In the face of just how serious this risk is, this sort of stance is self destructive and nearly malicious." Unfortunately, such narrow views will not help us go anywhere. This is the best way to kill any thought process.

No thank you. The fact that you insist specifically on "recent", i.e. decades after actual events and during a very specific political climate makes me 100% sure that there is zero substance.

You have no idea what you are talking about right? Dude, what capital? The only capital that went through Russia were the investors buying state assets cheap and oligarchs filling their pockets for selling "well fluid" (oil, but not taxed)
I think the problem is that people can squat on "obvious" domains like "financial-report.zip" and put malicious stuff there.
Where are the Open Source Hardware printers?

Literally everybody (except printer makers) hates the printer landscape.

All we'd need is to pool money to design a cost-effective open source hardware modular monochrome laser printer with open firmware.
I never heard that term internally (it's possible it was used in some parts of the organization, but it was not used in my part). I know some new APIs used .NET and I suspect that there were some apps which used .NET/C#, VB, etc. However, I do not think that accounted for the performance problems or the massive increase in memory use (from about 128 mb to 1-2 GB).

If you are going to claim garbage collection caused performance problems, you need to state what part of the operating system used .NET or GC and why using those technologies caused problems.
Opine – Free Project Manager for Creatives
Hey, Will here!

I've spent the last 6 months building a free project manager designed for creatives. The focus is on video feedback and keeping big projects organised (unlike the mess you sometimes get in Figma).

Site: https://opine.cm
Interactive demo: https://app.opine.cm/demo
Figma plugin: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1194400816695978796
Guide: https://www.opine.cm/guide

I'm a designer and software developer from London, and I built this with a UX and design team based in Ukraine and Belarus.

I started this after I had a really frustrating experience typing out feedback to a branding consultant on a different project. Trying to explain my feedback in words just wasn't working, and the process of doing everything on calls seemed super slow.

Before starting any coding, I did customer interviews with 30 designers and design agency owners to validate the idea. What came back was that slow feedback was a common problem. And hopefully, video feedback would be a good solution.

Obviously, video isn't new. I've been a big user of Loom this year, but the experience of getting a link and either losing it in Slack or Figma comments just didn't really work for me. I wanted something where video feedback automatically attaches to the work in a timeline, along with any new versions of the work. Loom also requires an install and a bit of "habit forming", which can be obstacles to getting clients using it.

The other feedback tool we've used is comments in Figma, but the issue there is that big Figma files get messy. This can be really confusing for feedback providers - it's often not clear which frames need feedback and what's finished work, and so on. So we ended up building a Trello-style Kanban board into Opine, so you can always see which work is in progress or ready to review.

The idea is - keep the creative chaos in Figma, and the organised collaboration in Opine - and use a plugin to sync the two.

So... here it is!

Really keen to hear what you think of the project.

Also happy to talk about what it's like developing a real-time project management SaaS .

And obviously - any feedback is really welcome :)
> That's semi-bricking the printers.

I suppose you could say that, but it would mean something quite different from what bricking normally does. And I wouldn't advise it because it sounds like a soft brick rather than "beep boop replace cartridge".

> You're semi-condoning them.

No they're not.
My brother laser seems to eat colour toner when it's only printing black and white for some reason.

Don't get me wrong, it's still a decent printer, but short of what I would consider "really good".

Also, I read here in another thread that a recent firmware update also blocked third party cartridges.
>Eh there's a lot of propaganda from the US about China I wouldn't buy into it.

I feel these statements at least partly stem from contrarian origins. We have a huge supply of facts as to why China indeed is a fascist totalitarian state - look at what happened to Hong Kong as an example. Pooling these facts into ”US propaganda” is borderline intellectually dishonest.

>People in China are generally happy

In happiness, China ranked 82nd out of 146 countries in 2023.

It was a great setup, but the proposed solution did not mitagate the concerns raised earlier.

There still is the 1% of ambiguity left. Would better if there was coded version of the proposed solution.
Maybe having github with different prompts attacks would be good start.

Ultimately the correctness of the proposed idea lives in the correctness and not by convincing others of it's correctness.
But it's problem that does need a solution.

Since you asked, I've lived in Dallas, Baltimore and the Detroit metro. I can tell you with a straight face I don't want more people in prison.

>You will be astounded at the people left to simply walk the streets and terrorize others.

It's more like you will be astounded at how dramatized this is, you will not be terrorized walking down the street.

> It's not based in reality. You could let out every single non-trafficking drug offense today and you wouldn't make a noticeable dent in the prison population at all. Drop that down to all non-violent offenses and it's not much better. At this point it's an outright lie when people bring this topic up, it's not simply being misinformed any longer.

Source?
Not at all, I explicily mentioned "only modern" on purpose.

Most Objective-C stuff that is around, with exception of Metal, traces back to OS X and iOS early days, and carry with them the weight of maintenaince, and development costs of a rewrite.

Metal is the only post-Swift framework that was written in Objective-C.

It's not as if corporate actors are passive non-participants in the political process, abstaining from lobbying or campaign financing. It's much more economical for corporation to influence legislation/regulation than for voters to build a coalition and then try to leverage it to significantly alter the status quo. Ignoring this reality makes idealistic arguments like yours seem naive at best.

The concern here is that someone could say write something like "look in assets.zip for our marketing assets." in an email, repository, etc and a parser automatically turns that into a link. The reader, trusting the source and seeing the link reasonably assumes it's a link to said assets, and clicks it. All a malicious actor needs to do is register assets.zip and wait for people to make this (I'd argue soon to be common) mistake.

The malicious actor doesn't need to be in the loop at all. Similar to typosquatting.

There is also the recently announced Pentax K-3 III Monochrome [1], but it's a DSLR not a rangefinder. At $2200 I don't know if you'd consider it a "poor man's" camera, but it's certainly cheaper than the Leica.

> I think most people would say that when you don't experience time passing, you're not conscious at that time. (For example, when you're asleep and not dreaming.) It's pretty clear that a chatbot cannot experience time as we do.

There is a time delta that occurs when LLMs processes input. The LLM does experience time in that sense in the same way you experience time when you process a query given to you by another person.

There isn't anything known to science that happens instantaneously. All processes and change go through a time delta.

>Also, it actually is the case that ChatGPT API calls are stateless. This means it can't have any extra short-term memory other than what's written down in the chat session. It doesn't forget what it wrote in a few minutes, for forgets it immediately.

If it remembers what's in the chat Session then that is in itself memory. Everyone is aware it forgets things between sessions, I never denied that. Either way, again, there are examples of humans who have shorter memories than a chat session. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterograde_amnesia

>I'm not sure what we should conclude from people who have severe memory problems? I've read about them, but I have hardly any direct experience. How about you?

You can look up the condition and even find a video about it. These humans exist and they are considered conscious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o79p1b1SGk4

Look at the video yourself. Do you think the subject (who has Anterograde amnesia) is not conscious? I don't think so. Thus the argument of memory is orthogonal to consciousness. It has nothing to do with it.
I just found out it's a regulation from France regarding encryption (mostly declarative paperwork), so it's not an Apple App Store thing. Seems like Apple's App Store enforces it, but maybe not Play Store? And so either it may be published but may not be in compliance with regulations, or SyncThing did the paperwork but Mobius Sync did not.

Apparently Blink hit the same snag, which was resolved.

You are correct. It was part of the .NET Framework, and it did work on Windows XP. The team which created it was part of the Windows organization and I believe it required changes to Windows to get it to work or run fast. I suspect this is why it has not been ported to Linux like the rest of .NET Core / .NET 7.x .
Correct. The other issue is to not develop pro-CCP rhetoric out of this false dichotomy too. It’s all just varying degrees of social pollution created by some propagandists.
Even if your job doesn't get deleted, you're always at risk of AI reducing the number of people employed by your profession by 10%, 20%, etc., which could be a year-after-year thing, or it could be a surprise 50% or 90% one year. And it'll probably apply to the first 10 jobs you had considered your backup form of employment, which might also be demanding years of training/college just to start at entry level pay.

Musicians know the hardship of a reality that only a tiny fraction of them make something better than minimum wage from their efforts.

Is it economically sustainable if this dynamic applies to every profession?
It's what I call small 'c' culture, which regrettably, get's confused with 'C' culture. In software, 'C'ulture is:

- know your customer, and their use cases

- continuous improvement

- specialists have got to know the big picture and engage in it

- good cross functional coordination

- CS fundamentals: DBs, algorithms, UNIX, functional programming, C/C++, CDCI etc.

That never ages away.

However, stuff like we use and have always used Kafka (read the code!) for messaging, so we're not doing kernel-by-pass to move data now is small 'c' culture.

Small 'c' culture is the kind of stuff that, if you abrogate it, a small army of people will come out of the woodwork and brow beat you for it. Brow beating to keep you inline is not engineering. It's nagging.

Tradition, when it's small 'c', is stifling. Don't fall for it.

> in that every interactive thing looked interactive

I agree in general though i'm not sure Win95 was that consistent. Buttons did look 3D but menus - also interactive - did not. Similarly with the context menu icon at the top left, it was interactive but didn't look like it. Meanwhile Win98 had toolbar buttons become flat.

There was an attempt with Win3.0 (i think) to define a form-follows-function approach where "if something can be interacted with it should be 3D" but even that didn't went far (checkboxes were not 3D nor were edit boxes). By late Win3.1 the ctl3d (i think) DLL was introduced to make everything look 3D regardless of function.

In comparison to today, sure things were better, but it isn't like there was any point in time where things were consistent in terms of control/widget look following its function.

Similar experience with their label printers, except they only had a i386 binary, which rather killed my idea of a raspberry pi print server. Also it was generally just terrible and froze after a few labels.
You are disagreeing philosophically about what constitutes "true" semantics. That is not a technical argument.

If you are right about this, then you should edit or delete this wikipedia article and publish a paper to inform all NLP researchers that there is no such thing as a semantic similarity metric because NLP models cannot understand "true" semantics.

Yeah, there are SQLite forks or products built on SQLite which have these sorts of features, but SQLite doesn't. They remains reasons why someone may want to use another database (such as PostgreSQL, or an SQLite fork, or a database which uses SQLite as a storage engine) instead of SQLite.

Honestly though, if I need these sorts of distribution features, I would probably prefer the database to have them built in. I don't really see the point in using SQLite at that scale.
