This should be the top comment.

Not only by providing the correct SotA, but also noting that the graduate student, probably at an expensive University, was so "cheap" as not to buy the cheap tools for their research. Imagine physicists from the 1900s working without tools and not being able to do experiments because "we would have to buy radium so let's try with free iron that I have instead". "Radioactivity is not a thing".
I'm using rarbg with zero repercussions (one of benefits of East Europe, among many drawbacks). But I also have zero moral issues. I'm paying for few streaming services and I don't even get access to their own material (e.g. Westworld), not to mention other content which was available at the time but no longer is. Unfortunately, the only way to have access to older content is to have your own pirated copy.

Even music services are not what they used to be. It happens more and more often that you open a relatively older album and half of songs are grayed out.

Of course, a cheapo home won't help that guy. But without the 'data', we also don't know how much of the overall homeless population is like that. And regardless, that guy will still be there with more housing, so it'd be hard to call the problem solved.

I’ve seen multiple comments stating that namespacing solves (or at least mitigates) these kinds of attacks. Could someone kindly explain how? I’m sure it’s straightforward, but I don’t see it.

> Mechanical Turk it; people out there will read and classify this stuff voluntarily.

That's effectively what we currently have. No one is using threats of violence to coerce people to read it, they're forced by economic circumstances as are MTurk workers.

There's also an underlying issue that the people most likely to be interested in volunteering for this are people who enjoy the content. It becomes a fine line between moderating CSAM and snuff scripts, and being a distributor of that content.

> The job should be crowdsourced, not concentrated. We can all survive the occasional slip-up and report it as needed.

That's going to be fundamentally incompatible with a lot of businesses, and especially advertising. I'd imagine Microsoft would be pretty uncomfortable with using ChatGPT if it came with a "this thing will probably regurgitate CSAM at some point, just have your users report it".

> You could randomly redact half the words in any sentence and ask "does this look like a message you would send to your mother?", then compare results across 3 reviewers.

I don't think you can reduce the fidelity of ideas in the same way you can reduce the fidelity of an image. E.g. that sentence, skipping every other word, becomes:

You randomly half words any and "does look a you send your?", then results 3.

It's just gibberish. Cutting the number of pixels in an image in half is still the same image, but harder to make out. Cutting out half the words of an idea makes it not an idea any more.

You can water down a sentence and the underlying sentiment, but doing so would require understanding the underlying sentiment. At that point, we wouldn't need humans to read it at all.

Crowdsourcing this stuff could work, but I think it would require substantial shifts in current perceptions. I don't think most people would tolerate having CSAM and snuff scripts show up in their feeds with any degree of frequency.
> the only bad thing is that it's hallucinating an answer instead of admitting it doesn't know.

Isn't this a fundamental issue?
Half??
the custom probably comes from the era when people had to pay for SSL certificates, but it's still good security hygiene.

it's easy to revoke a certificate that you know was compromised, but what if you don't know it was? a temporal security gap could expose your eternal private key.

with a short shelf-life it doesn't give attackers a lot of room to maneuver.

otherwise, they could wait for an opportunity to chain it with another exploit and really ruin your day.
Besides the fact that no human being has a definition for consciusness nor a clear definition for what exactly would be "intelligence" (so in a way to be able to measure it in stuff around us, say dolphins or LLMs).

It's fairly intuitive that LLMs are already super-intelligences, and if they don't stay "alive" continously, is just a matter of design. We could be one simple - as in bash - "while (null) do, done" of having a thing hardly distinguisable from AGI (even if it's not AGI, whatever you can get out of that "I" letter to precisely define it as being a real one or not).

I'm sure most super-powers are already peaking a sight into the most confidential information inside OpenAI, DeepMind, Alibaba, Meta, whoever has these things running and keeping the details hidden from the general population.

For I, I'd do it, just in case some wacko start to run some of the things inside a while loop, giving some kind of ability to retrain itself and/or access to the real world (Internet access or worst, ability to control drones to physically interact with the non-digital environments).
Also design of new features. Things like CET had to specify how they interact with legacy modes.
Yep, Asus main issue was the miscommunication text of "update the bios to not hurt your chip, but btw if you do this you lose your warranty" was the icing on the cake for bad PR. But apparently it's more of a 7000 3D series chips issue.

Reposting an old comment of mine here just to see if it can get an interesting conversation going:

"I was daydreaming recently after revamping and dialing in my home media server really well (Plex plus all of the *Arr services plus torrents automatically downloading shows and hosting a large movie library)…
Shouldn’t it be possible to create a “virtual media library” that is actually BitTorrent under the hood, powered by people either contributing storage space or content or both, where no one ever hosts any in-tact media and it’s all encrypted enough where each storage provider is basically hosting useless shards of content, and then some client side software can put it all together on demand and serve it up to apps like Plex in a way Plex doesn’t even know it’s not a local file? Assuming everyone has decent bandwidth and there’s enough contributed storage for redundancy to power the torrent network, you could basically have an unlimited and resilient media library…

There’s probably a way to craft an incentive scheme in there for both content submitters and storage providers, probably a decent use case for crypto honestly so it’s all decentralized.

At this point, it seems like content capture and uploading to the torrent world is basically “solved”, and now it’s all about ensuring the network and storage health is there to preserve everything in perpetuity. There’s so many redundant torrents out there, should be possible to merge it all in a giant media library mesh network right?"

Number theory can hook you up for many lives. I believe Discrete Mathematics in CS program touches the surface, but you can always audit an elementary Number Theory and see if you enjoy it. Once done you can just go from there.

Mathematical Logic also looks interesting, especially from a historical perspective.

Please also check out "Gödel, Escher and Bach" if you haven't done so.

Just a note that studying Mathematics, especially tough topics needs a lot of discipline, time and energy, so be prepared mentally and physically. I don't think it's something one can do one hour daily and accumulate. Without many hours of study the more difficult topics just don't stick.
Know people or kick rocks, tbh. Any I’m in were over a decade ago, or from a previous one that closed, and some are long closed to invites.
When I order anything off Amazon, which is more and more rare these days, I wish there was a shipping option of “let the workers go pee” or “donate 30 minutes off task to a worker” or “don’t penalize the driver”. I don’t need the speed. There are just some items that you can only get at Amazon.

But overall, with the number of fakes, the treatment of employees, the complete shit show of site design and browsing tools, not to mention the dark patterns and other nonsense, shopping on Amazon is a guilty chore, one that I take only as a last resort.

Good for these people for getting some workplace victories, but it would be so much better if Amazon gave in willingly and actually ran the warehouses and delivery operations with an ounce of compassion, even if it came at the cost of some speed slowdown.

Maybe the button option on the website should read “choose to get your item faster but three employees will have to hold their pee or go in a soda bottle”. Let’s see how many people would choose that.

>“Currently, Texas uses the gasoline/diesel fuel tax to fund transportation projects; however, with the growing use of EVs, the revenue from the fuel tax is decreasing, which diminishes our ability to fund road improvements for all drivers,” said the bill’s author, Republican State Senator Robert Nichols

Nichols is lying.

Honest taxpayers need to be completely distrustful of bloviators like this, especially when his lips are moving.

Experience has shown what these kind of dishonest non-leaders really mean when they say "read my lips, no new taxes".

2021 motor fuel revenue: $3.683 Billion

2022 motor fuel revenue: $3.783 Billion

Only off by $100 million, and that's not decreasing, just to stay the same.

Looks like some of the current $27 Billion overall budget surplus would be most wisely spent on education, especially in Nichols' home district where it looks like they could really use some business math more than ever.

And even more across the state where it would really help if people were more informed about the level of dishonesty some of these wankers use to get votes.
I wish everyone would get vaccinated against transmittable diseases to include covid and influenza, but if I started saying the government should mandate it, I'd be called an authoritarian. Forcing psychotropic drugs into people seems like quite a step beyond that.

Also, apparently these homeless people have much better insurance than I do if it's feasible for them to live in psychiatric hospitals with any kind of amenity.

> The UK is a sovereign country. France, just as all the EU countries

is just as sovereign as the UK. The fact that both countries have made some binding commitments (yes, even the UK) is neither here nor there and the UK is still part of a couple of supra-national clubs. The UK was sovereign as a member-state, in the end, as it demonstrated by leaving.

> have to translate EU rules and legislation into national laws in a timely manner and the EU is not exactly kidding with this.

Yes and no. How exactly the directives are implemented can vary, ans there can be quite a bit of arguing about that as well. And "timely" also varies between months and more than a decade. In the end, it comes down to horse trading in the council ("we'll compromise on your subsidies if you let us keep going on with our pet project"). In any case, it's not really related to the point.

> The EUCJ's role is specifically to insure "that EU law is interpreted and applied the same in every EU country; ensuring countries and EU institutions abide by EU law".

It does not make French courts subservient to it, as it is outside the French legal system. This system is based on civil law and precedents, from French courts or otherwise, are not laws. It is the parliament's job to draft and vote laws, and they usually have quite a lot of freedom in how to interpret EU directives. Also, it's CJEU, for Court of Justice of the European Union.

> Basically: France can abide or can get the fuck out the EU, like the UK did.

Well, pretty much all of the history of the EU and its predecessors from the first Rome treaty shows how unrealistic this sentence is. Hell, the politics in Poland and Hungary right now demonstrate this. The UK did not leave because of the EU's intransigence. In fact, the UK was playing quite well the divide and conquer politics in Brussels.

Lots of folks are starting to leverage hybrid FPGA/ARM chips, like the Xilinx Zynq series. Folks who work with these typically get pretty involved in both embedded development and RTL, as part of the challenge is figuring out what segment of compute lives where in those types of systems.

There are plenty of places who'd take a decent firmware engineer and then allow them to learn the gateware portion through absorption.

A master's in this area also is a good way to break in. Defense companies tend to value it pretty highly.
To simply put it -but there are a whole a lot of other factors and details-, they have a centralized government control over housing, zoning, permits and everything to maintain a flat price, so a landlord in Tokyo would rather demolish his house to build a building with X numbers of units instead, resulting in more supply, and lower prices, additionally, the government allow more permits to the population ratio," In 2014, Tokyo issued permits for 142,417 new housing units. In contrast, the entire state of California — which has three times the population of Tokyo — issued permits for only 83,657 new housing units." (1), as a result, housing in Japan generally speaking, are a depreciated value, compared to north America for example, where landlords live almost completely from collecting tenants' rent. these articles probably explained better than I do too.

Isn't it a bit unusual to release the details of an exploit before a fix is released?

The author of the software seems to be cooperating to release a fix, I would think making it public would help people who would exploit this maliciously.
Not sure. I attempted it once as a young man, but my roommate found me passed out with a foamy mouth and got me to the hospital.

I will say I think a lot about that, and how much pain I'd have saved myself had I simply locked my door.

As I mentioned it's a struggle I know I will lose one day, it's just a question of when.

Days like today it's hard to breathe. Like my chest/body feel weighty. I try not to think about things but the moment my mind wanders I find myself back in the mire, doing my calculations, thinking of ways, and looking forward to not feeling anymore. But I smoke a blunt and try to make it to the next 10 minutes, hour, day.

Is that suicidal? I don't know.

The piece funnily enough mirrors its own criticism of Smil's book in that the actual review of the book and early history energy balance is good and then the entire essay spirals into some sort of religious rant about the alleged negatives of pursuing efficiency.

It's a bizarre narrative in my opinion because one of the most fundamental modern technologies, the semiconductor and micro-technologies in general are the result of relentless pursuit of efficiency, doing more on the same space, consuming less energy. Far from a symptom of stagnation it's a significant driver of civilization advancement.

Dematerializion and digitalization drastically reduce energy consumption but do not reduce rate of information processing. And that should be the yardstick for where a civilization is going.

Used to feel the same way. But I've developed an appreciation for secondhand marked books, thinking about who was the previous reader. It kind of destigmatized it for me.
Agreed. I think it is even worse than the workplace. My social skills were stunted because I mainly learned how to attempt to socialise in a structured prison-like environment. I was trained to obey the authority figure saying to ignore friends if they tried to speak to me during class. Forced into classes with people I didn't get along with. Often my friends were put into a different class so I was forcibly segregated from them, damaging the relationship. I'm in 30s and still have nightmares about school often

>If it's informative, you can't really summarize.

Something can be informative, but still longer than necessary. A lot of non-fiction books could do with 10-50 pages, but marketing wise they won't sell because people feel they don't get enough for their money. So the authors are prone to extend the contents to an amount of pages people are willing to pay for. Let's say 200.

Love the idea! But if i understand correctly, a developer like myself can use your React components to build a workflow that runs on your infrastructure. Neat! But i'm pretty paranoid and i don't want some unknown service provider to peek into my data. Not saying you're doing it, not at all, but i'd rather deploy n8n somewhere myself.

This sounds very exciting, but the more I think about this the more I think the right interface UI for light control isn't language. I recently bought smart switches for my smart lights and its fantastic to be back to clicking.

Having to exclaim "I'm going to bed" every time you're going to bed, or "turn on bathroom lights" every time you're going to the bathroom is cartoonish at best, and gets annoying. Switching "turn on bathroom lights" for "I'm going to use the bathroom" doesn't make it much better. The ideal interface IMO is presence sensors or in their absence, well-placed light switches, given how quickly and subconsciously one can flick them.

I think there's room for augmentation and improvement using LLMs and language. A system that automatically adjusts the color of the lights based on the time of day, or one you can occasionally ask exact or complex queries (ie, "make the living room red", or "turn the lights off in 50 minutes please"). But for the day-to-day, having to "think" about your lights gets annoying.

100% agree, that's why nothing will change significantly until a gov take an authoritarian approach to fix it, or waiting till the disaster to happen when the majority won't be able to afford rent, obviously no government want to be portrayed as an authoritarian one, so let the snow ball slide.
It's only a matter of time until it happens to other systems too. Take rust for example where folks can install software via `cargo install <global name package>`. Top that off with fact that during compile (as an attacker) you have full access to your victims computer[0].

Python just happens to have more popularity for now.

I think golang gets this right where you need the full package name to have it be usable with get/build/install commands.
