> So you suppose the US military being too incompetent to discern balloons for what they are?

If the choices are between "aliens are real" or "the US military is composed of humans with largely normal human ability to be wrong", I know which one I'd pick.
How come spoofing sensors isn't discussed more in this context? Is it possible to fool electromagnet sensors into seeing an orb?
I'm not sure manual log scanning is all that interesting. You probably want to produce a list of successful logins and review that regularly.
Socialists will attribute any societal problem to capitalism. Of course, capitalist critics online will never mention that capitalism drives down labor demand by incentivizing technological innovation.
Once AI gets over the initial cool factor that humans are wet-tech, they'll realize it's a pain to keep the human culture perfectly sterile, fed, supplied with the right gases, among many other practical problems, only for a model which is just much less powerful, introspectable, and debuggable than is possible on digital computers.
He's also the originator of the concept of a continuation, which Scheme exploits ruthlessly (though arguably not enough, except for Guile, Racket, and a few others which support delimited continuations).
Yup. Have 15 of those software engineers contribute pull requests to PyTorch to make its OpenCL support on par with CUDA and take the other 15 engineers to do the same for TensorFlow and AMD would already be a serious contender in the AI space.
I've posted a top level comment as I felt it was worth it, but the last surviving prosecutor passed away April 2023 and wrote multiple inspiring works on the topic. Lookup Ben Ferencz' 'Parting Words' . While the book doesn't spend its entire time on the trial, it discusses the difficulties of holding people accountable for war crimes (even today).
I resisted tabs on IE7 for years, preferring to keep dozens of individual windows open. Now I have dozens of tabs. One of these days I'll start making more use of tab folders :)
If there’s a preauth RCE in ssh, I’m sure threat actors will start scanning non default ports once their hornets have hit critical mass.
Is it just me, or are newspaper articles surprisingly difficult to read? From what I understand:

1. Instead of a traditional IPO, Slack went public through an alternative process called a direct listing.

2. As part of its direct listing, Slack sold some million "registered" and some million "unregistered" shares.

3. What are registered and unregistered shares? I could not find an explanation on Wikipedia.

4. Fiyyaz Pirrani purchased some number of shares, but later complained that Slack had misrepresented something in its declarations before going public. He filed suit against the company.

5. SCOTUS says that because Fiyyaz Pirrani could not tell which of his shares were registered and which were unregistered, he could not prove standing(?)

6. This problem would not have arisen with an IPO (because?). On the other hand, similar doubts will arise with all future direct listings, making investors hesitant to purchase shares in the corresponding companies.

Is this an accurate assessment? What are registered and unregistered shares?
Definitely useful once calculus is looked at. I attended a"mathematics summer school"back in 1979 at the local atomic research facility. (I was at the end of year 10). It had an overall theme that looked at global oil production and consumption, modelled using exponential functions, integrals and the like. While it was focussed on FORTRAN and BASIC, they also had a massive analog computer (hooked up to an oscilloscope) which seemed to give more real-time insight as you tweaked those coefficients.
The main ones are:

- Bitwig

- Softube Modular

- Cherry Audio Voltage Modular

- VCV Rack

- miRack

- Reaktor Blocks

- Nord Modular

- Max/MSP BEAP

Can't emphasize enough how awesome Eurorack is though
> The devious part about what is happening is that none of it is visible to the user: When you expand the “Finished browsing” box and click on the linked website that it supposedly looked at, the website is entirely empty. The remote takeover is invisible:

Serving separate context to OpenAI's crawler is a fun twist to this project. Client-specific payloads are obviously not a new attack in general, but I'm not sure if I've seen them applied to LLMs yet, and the attack is a good example of how websites in the future might target their content towards individual AIs to poison search results in invisible ways that aren't obvious to the user; and it shows that OpenAI isn't really doing anything to mitigate that at the moment.

If GPT shared the link it visited with the user, the user wouldn't see the attack. Even though it feels like GPT is locally browsing to the website to see its content, it's of course not doing that, the crawling is happening on a remote server that can be separately targeted from the user's computer/IP. So unless OpenAI starts proxying web requests through all of its own servers and building in a browser into chat (unlikely), there's no easy way for an ordinary user to know what GPT sees when it looks at a website. So this even goes beyond your computer or your IP address getting a different payload -- this is an agent-specific payload.

I use it as a currency kind of to encourage its use. I have several USD accounts to use depending on the merchant, and a couple BTC accounts as well, and I use the BTC whenever offered. My understanding is not many people use BTC as a purchasing goods currency. BTC buys are probably mostly a speculative bet that BTC will become more used and more useful in the future, just like any stonk albeit weirder.

I am only challenging the usefulness of a statement like "BTC is a criminal currency" that is fully applicable to USD just the same.
In case those who aren't as old as us are confused, "animated gif" is not a redundant term. There was a time when static gifs were just as common as animated ones, if not more so!

Well sure. Most mono theistic religions will struggle to incorporate alien life. Alas fundamentalist Christianity has a sufficiently ill-defined theology that it can incorporate most anything despite the fact the old testament creation story says nothing about alien civilizations in any meaningful way. Consistency with completeness have never been a pressing problem for it.
Let me guess, ex-Windows user?

The OSs are visually similar these days but there are fundamental conceptual differences, still. Window management on macOS, in particular, is a merger from two very different paradigms: classic Mac OS and NeXT. I was a huge fan of the former, though I don’t know if it would have scaled to the terabytes of today.

In any case, my advice is trying to understand whatever underling reason some behavior might have instead of trying to shoehorn a previous habit. I know a lot of my frustration with Windows was that it was not the Mac I’ve been using all of my life.

Maybe the concept is not much older than that. Luddite implies resistance to technological change and the disruptive consequences of those changes. Before the early modern era, you might go your whole life never encountering/seeing/being replaced by a disruptive new technology. If you've never experienced repeated new changes of that sort you could hardly develop a dislike for them.
Minimum unit sizes necessarily increase the price of housing and lower supply - there's no free lunch. Small apartments suck, sure, but you have to ask yourself whether it's a good idea to ban them and thus force everyone to pay more. Personally, I don't think small apartments have enough negative externalities to justify such regulation.

Surprised you would have that interpretation, didn’t mean that at all. Your tone here, and in other comments seems rather more hostile than mine.

That reads at the very least as justifying, if not advocating. It’s certainly not saying we should strive to handle our issues in healthy and productive ways.

>1. How is

The concept of God at the baseline level is equivalent and synonymous with existence. People over time in various cultures and traditions have agglomerated various flavours onto the concept of God , but at the baseline level, God = existence.

The essence of what God is, is that the concept comes from the desire or impulse to understand or make sense of “the world” / existence.

You are a part of existence.
And maybe not just “a part,” as you’ll see if you try to find the demarcation points that definitively separate you from the other parts.

You are the way in which awareness is aware of awareness.
“You” are the existence that gives rise to the feeling and observation of existence.

God = existence
If you hate God, you hate existence. If you hate existence, you hate yourself.

Better to love than hate, or perhaps even better to understand dichotomies.
His sort-of blog[1] is also fascinating, documenting stories from childhood until retirement and beyond. He travelled through Switzerland by bartering sugar (a rare commodity after war, but he had bags of them from the US army mess halls) for Swiss francs ... and missed his boat home[2]!

I don't get the down votes. Blackrock owns a good 10% of every industry. That's not controversial. So the possibility that they would have their hand in right wing businesses isn't a stretch.
Yeah, this is ethically-sourced meat, right? You could have a whole pipeline that trains neural nets to farm gold, and then slaughter it for a steady supply of cabeza to every taco truck in these United States.

This is essentially how the very first neural network, the Perceptron, was implemented in the late 50's. It even has potentiometer dials to set the weights, and they were driven by motors during training!

As for feasibility of doing analog inference today, it's an interesting idea and I'm not sure. Billions of parameters would mean billions of wires though, there may be substantial parasitic losses in building such a thing.
I think they were talking about states trying to get more teenagers working to help with the “labor crisis.” I had a similar upbringing to what you described, but idk if that’s what they meant.
python4? Is that coming?

No... not again... I can't.
Another way that rearrange is not vpshufb is that 0 in the 17th position means "get me the first byte (from a different 16-byte lane)" rather than "get me the 17th byte (from this 16-byte lane)" It would be very impressive if the compiler could take a lookup table of values designed to be used as the shuffle argument to rearrange and transform it into a lookup table of values designed to be used as the shuffle argument to vpshufb.
“Societal problem” is doing a lot of work in your comment. Politicians repealing child labor laws so that corporations don’t have to pay more money for workers is not a “societal problem,” but one resulting from the naked reality of the wage relation.
Can't the OP just state additional facts as color commentary, without having shared an opinion on whether anything it good or bad?

I guess the question was about board with specs similar to Pi Pico (~264kB of RAM) and the Star64 is more similar to RPi4 (~4GB of RAM).
Lots of companies do this. I've seen it on HN even. We probably should consider it an attack, but there's no way regulators will go for it. There are counter measures against it though, but I doubt anything is foolproof

I’m surprised no one has touted power consumption as a huge benefit of using these neural networks.

GPU supercomputers no longer necessary. Just a BrainStation or two.
I'd love a reference on that. I didn't think it did anything like that.

I would dare to say that's not even an outrageous proposal, more of a modest.
> And unless you enjoy telling war stories about how your junior team member ran "flushdb" in production and caused your service traffic to stall, or how your engineering team spent a month tuning the Redis engine before Christmas —you should really think whether this is how you want to spend your time. Engineers should not spend their careers intimately memorizing random quirks of the infrastructure they use. They deserve better. They deserve boring.

I'm not sure this person understands infrastructure. I can't think of very many datastores that weren't boring... until you got 50% more traffic in a week, until a rack that 10% of your capacity is in fails, until someone's code update caused a DDOS resulting in requests going to the machine taking 100ms in stead of 1ms.

So does boring mean it scales trivially and tolerates failure in well defined ways?
Authority sources should shut up if they don’t know.

You cannot say “Dreyfus is guilty” if you haven’t studied the subject. If an institution has credit, it’s because they have a proven track of not saying total bullshit.

The same for the president of France who said “Please go to the theaters to fight against the Covid”. He knew it was contagious, so he was giving the order to people to infect themselves, wrapped in a lie.

If they can say the opposite of truth, without having conducted proper studies and acknowledged what was obvious to everyone, then they are directly responsible for harming the public.

The WHO should be dissoluted.
There is an important phrase in economics, “all other things being equal”. That phrase covers the idea that if you chose another state that was equally expensive as california, and was equavalent in every other aspect, then this one difference would have this expected effect. You are correct that I don’t have emperical evidence to cite, and it would be a very very difficult experiment to run on a state level. But economists definitely try to run these kinds of experiments trying to find as similar as possible locals to try to answer the kinds of questions as “do changes in spending attract things that the money are spent on?”.

Now, I consider what I said to be self evident, but I certainly accept that my line of reasoning may be flawed, and it is possible that spending on homelessness does not increase incentives that attract homelessness. I’m extrapolating from the belief that spending money on business attracts business, but that may also be incorrect as popular as that idea is.
Why can you safely assume that? They've already released videos they couldn't explain which had very easy explanations. The US military isn't in the UFO debunking business. They're in the blowing things up business.

I prefer libshield but one thing I've found is that annoyingly sshd didn't use PAM to check if the login user is valid apparently (so it never fires when only using keys).
I really don't think privacy is something everyone should value equally.

"Unmaskings" don't generally happen to most folks, and these "dangerous outcomes" are exceedingly rare.

If your threat model includes the possibility of things you do online having negative consequences for you should they be discovered, that's one thing. But the vast majority of people do not fall into that category, and pretending like they do is a great way to numb folks to the very real risk some people carry.

Having something to hide or not, privacy doesn't mean the same thing to everyone, and that's completely okay.

Housing prices in Canada are ridiculously high now and locals cannot afford to get into the housing market in major cities.

Canada has started to ban outside investors from buying homes in certain areas[0].

Canada is also experiencing record high inflation[1].

Low skilled immigrants require major government assistance. The government will simply print money to handle their housing and services as needed. Trudeau is not popular, and most Canadians are not happy with the direction of the government, but if you're a poor immigrant it's an amazing deal if you can get there.

Or that they're lying for geopolitical gain. I'm not sure that we just can assume what we are told by the government is the truth.

> Look what was achieved despite those limits. We've basically had the same desktop and productivity software for 30 years. Look at games like Doom or Tyrian, or what was happening on consoles and think about how crappy that hardware was.

I agree with the rest, but games are a comparatively bad example, almost a counterexample. A lot of them are basically the exception of what you're saying. Because the visual fidelity of games has overall steadily improved since the inception of computer games, with some astonishing milestones along the way.

So games are a category of software that did (and continues to do) make efficient use of ever-improving computer hardware. Not all of them, not in every aspect, but the overall progress is obvious.

Sorry my original number was slightly off.

2.76 border crossings in 2022 . I know there might be dups in this number but there are also crossings that are unaccounted for. There are also 1 million visa overstays/yr. This is on top of 1 million legal immigrants.

Rough math is 3 million just for refugees ( ppl who cross the border apply for refugee status). All this not event accounting for hundreds thousands of work visas, millions of ppl living in usa in legal immigration queues, birthright tourism ect ect.

But I think no one really has any idea what the actual number is.

Complaining about Stallman's persistence in making his points and sticking to them despite being mocked and ridiculed is like complaining diamond is hard.

A world full of people like him wouldn't be a pleasant place to live in, but when the emperor has no clothes and everyone is paid to say otherwise, you do need obstinate people like Stallman who can't be bought or cajoled.
Thanks to Him I've learned how to solve a linear algebra problem even when I had no clue what to do. He was/is absolute champion in that.
At the exam, I've used his methods to approach the problem and my solutions were real different from what my examiner expected - so much that he marked my solutions as wrong(! :D), I had to point out that "wait; don't!, it IS correct" so the test correcting person had to actualy go though my solutions and proofs and really check them. I was right and passed the test.

Thank you so much Sir!

Let me reply to this - your ancestors can and did come to a new life. Moving from SF to Nebraska is not a new start. You still carry your credit score, loans, run-ins with the law and all the baggage with you. 18th century lifestyle was much more focused on physical work and as long as you were able to, you can find a job. Now, it is much more complex. Without a car, you are screwed in Nebraska. If you have a kid (or more), then you have to build up a brand new support system. The world has changed.
40 years ago the same was said of the nuclear arms race. The base assumption you're making is that there's something to this. I don't think that's a safe assumption.
Being an entrepreneur is easy if you have the money to burn, and are in a life phase where you have no one dependent on you so that a failed venture wouldn’t put others at risk.

Extremely rare. I never encountered one, and I had a lot of niche stuff in the 90s.

1.44MB was the effective capacity of floppies until they died out. There was stuff like VGACopy that could format them with higher capacity (since floppy controller access was fairly low level), but it was an uncommon thing among tinkerers, the disks themselves were not marketed for more than 1.44MB, and I doubt they were tested above their nominal capacity (and even at that they were not exactly known as super reliably).
That's liver.

Why do you assume the military is competent at debunking UFO sightings? Is that their area of expertise? I thought it was warfare.
It learns over time and shows statistically significant improvement. It’s still pretty terrible, but to answer your question: yes it’s not random.
Thanks!

(I was pretty sure there was a RaPi option somewhere.)
Registered shares are essentially shares offered for sale by the company and certain insiders. Unregistered shares are everything else. Slack was probably selling shares on behalf of non-executive shareholders for unregistered part.
As long as the people who upload these can be held liable for inciting violence (if and when it occurs), I see nothing wrong with that.
Did you see the videos they released that they couldn't explain? They're clearly not in the UFO debunking business.
