Mastodon (with an o, an often made mistake) has an API, which most alternatives (pleroma, gotosocial etc) also implement, partly. Several frontends, including extremely lightweight clients exist for this API.

Mastodon furthermore implements the whole server-server ActivityPub standard, which can be used for some actions, like following someone, just fine. This is a very well described standard.

Mastodon doesn't implement ActivityPub server-client standard, instead it has the aforementioned selfbrewn "rest" API. Which, IMO is a shame, and has caused all clients (mobile, web, etc) to rely on this nonstandard API.

Edit: the point being:there are several ways to get content from Mastodon, depending on usecase and needs. You really don't need to scrape or parse or load the JS cliënt.

I mean. It seems you've answered your own question?

She wants to avoid her kids considering it acceptable to cross a red light. Parent violated community norms by crossing a red light. So now she has to signal that this person has violated community norms, so that her kids learn "red light crossing is bad" rather than "red light crossing is normal".

This is not a "german" thing, this is a "human" thing.
A realpolitik lesson for the scientists of the future: next time you have the power, hold it, don't squander it on politicians, begging for crumbs, grants and the decency of a private life. Oppenheimer should have continued his quote "now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds" with "bow to me mortals, cause it is I that controls the machine" not "here you go Mr. Truman, go nuts with the bombs".

Also, Turing can never be overrated, beyond being the one who pulled us into a new metaphysics of computability (alongside Alonzo Church and others, sure), he will also be the one to bring the 22nd century into a new metaphysics of morphogenetic freedom [1] [2] [3]. Not sure about Flowers, but Turing knew there were realms of computationality way beyond their present tubes and levers.

I'm really not understanding this comment.

Go on Zillow and find all the 3-bedroom rentals available under $4k/mo in the Bay Area that are within 45-min commute distance from downtown SF via Bart/Caltrain/Muni. I count at least 1,000.

I live in a modern 1-bedroom apartment within biking distance to work (major FAANG campus) and pay $2,500/mo. My apartment complex offers 3-bedroom units, with private patios, for $3,500/mo. This is a nice community, professionally managed, with pool, gym, BBQ areas and park for kids to roam around.

Isn't that enough to raise children? Most people in major European cities raise perfectly functional and happy families on much less sqft and amenities.
Why not distribute a binary that uses AVX-512 if present, and falls back to AVX2 or SSE4 if not? It can be quite easy, see the example earlier in this thread.
It's not that silly of a claim. Some farmed fish require a 20:1 wild fish feed conversation ratio. Modern salmon genetics (and feeds and culture techniques) have brought that down to essentially 1:1. If hybridisation resulted in a caviar producing animal that grew significantly faster and or produced more eggs than the sturgeon currently does...
One lesson: don't commit fraud, as detection is easy these days thanks to software, internet, etc. This is especially true, if you are in an enviable position. If you are at the bottom of the totem pole, no one cares about your degree, your publications, your writings. The moment you become a leader of a small organization, a member of elite faculty club, your past would be dug for any plagiarism, dishonesty, fraud.

Most of these people are not that tech savvy, they think that they are living in the pre-internet era, where people used to spend months to get others' research papers, books, dissertations, etc.

> but it does remove any fear of installing software overwriting files you wanted, including OS level (and kernel) upgrades.

I understand that's "true" in a theoretical way because the store is read-only and it is all hashed. But the hashes aren't routinely checked by some kind of hypervisor, and root can still overwrite things in the store.

The "fear of installing software overwriting files you wanted" essentially comes down to config file management (unhappy accidents) and malware.

You should have config file management in git already, so I don't feel like NixOS needs to solve that. I was hoping it would solve the problem of random software being able to obtain root and not ransomware me, but it practically doesn't solve that any better than any other distro.

I want to be missing something. I've invested a lot of time learning about Nix for the last week and my system is finally working, but I just got to the sandboxing/security portion of my install and the threat model seems broken.
I don't care how much money they donate, because the tax systems of the world are designed to minimize their losses versus the people who work for them. That's still money they clearly didn't need and certainly didn't earn.

Bill Gates has hubris because Bill Gates has a fuckton of wealth that he did nothing to directly earn. Merely having capital yields capital results.
I can recommend reading the systemd manual entries (e.g. man systemd.exec).

SystemD meanwhile has a lot of options for managing a seccomp based sandbox, e.g. various protect options for the filesystem, mounting critical things as read-only, simulating a chroot with its own fake-root user etc.pp.

You can also manage the capabilities of a binary from there, so it's actually integrated down the kernel stack.

However, as you mentioned, the lack of an official "profile database" for common packages/software makes it just as useless as the other tools.

I wish we had a repo where all the things come together and people can just do something like "autosandbox apache2" and it will do the rest.

Can someone explain why loading a 1MM-route BGP table onto a network switch is a "hard problem" that requires fancy hardware to solve, rather than something that even commodity hardware today is capable of?

Presuming you do your IPv4 and IPv6 routing separately...

For IPv4, an interval-treemap from uint32-pair intervals to uint8 output ports fits into the default memory config of a PC from 1994; and each lookup into said tree resolves in nanoseconds, even on a machine of the era — esp. for tree-node pages that are hot in CPU cache.

And for IPv6, the tree could grow a lot larger, since the intervals are, per se, "uint128"-pairs... but there just aren't that many extant IPv6 routes yet, so the table is actually small in practice.

What are the constraints on the problem that I'm missing?
When Skype and Firefox stopped working in Vista I moved to SeaMonkey and Skype in a seamless RDS session.

Only when I moved apartments (and wasn't in the mood to bring my desktop to life, substituting on T440) I finally gave up. Probably around 2017-2018?

This month I took thr Ghost image of it and shoved it on my long term storage. When (if) I would be in a mood I would try to run it again, on ESXi.

But hey, Win7 still mostly works. At least I don't remember it refusing to remember wifi passwords, as my Win10 started a week ago.

Plenty of NP-complete problems have easy instances. Indeed for a lot of problems there's an assumption that most instances that naturally arise are easier and well solved by heuristics but there are some pathological instances that aren't but don't appear in practice

Also: if you are okay with heuristics that aren't guaranteed to output the optimal answer the whole point is moot
I tried asking it to tell me a story, and it quickly got the characters' roles mixed up. I also asked it to make one character speak in rhymes, and it just made everything rhyme. ChatGPT does a better job on story telling.

This tongue-in-cheeck dig on China may actually mean something if it weren't for the fact that the social credit system, as depicted by the media, doesn't actually exist.

The bigger story is why people are so receptive to such stories, and why the media keep writing them, even though they're false.

Of course one can advocate for violence without participating in it directly. For example, you could call for a riot. Or for the death of someone directly.

No reasonable person would confuse “the traitor should get the death penalty” with “kill the traitor!”.
Turing’s work wasn’t fully understood or appreciated until the the 1980s specifically because many of the documents which revealed the extent of his contributions were classified by the UK government until then, and yes because of the social attitudes of the time, particularly regarding his sexuality. Without those two things he would have got far more credit than he actually did.

The declassification, and a thawing of social attitudes toward LGBT people enabled Turing to be recognized as the figure he is today. So yes, file it under equality, diversity and inclusion all you want.
Or unsophisticated agents. A strategy I've used for testing highly visual code: run the test procedure; take a snapshot of graphic output; generate a hash signature of the output (e.g. CRC32); if the signature has not changed, the test passes; if the signature has changed, queue the test to a human for verification; if the human accepts the output, save the new hash signature for the next automated test.

The TL/DR: if the output hasn't changed the test passes; if it has, get a human to approve the change. Developers can (and probably should) perform most of the manual verification.

It wouldn't completely eliminate test teams for AAA games; but it could substantially reduce the load placed on test teams, allowing them to focus on what test teams do best.

I always feel better when surveys are done by impartial researchers. Is this the case here?

I looked to see if Pi.ai’s LLM was open and available, and I didn’t see if it was available. I have a new strategy for using LLM APIs: I use FastChat with one of the Vicuna 7B, 13B, or 33B models - both the command line interface tool and the OpenAI API compatible APIs via the FastChat REST server. By setting environment variables, my code can switch to using the OpenAI APIs. I rent a Lambda Labs GPU server to run these models myself. This is the strategy I am also using in the book I just started writing “Safe For Humans AI” https://leanpub.com/safe-for-humans-AI

> by basically any definition.

Clausewitz said that war is a continuation of state policy by other means; in this view neither is the 'opposite' of the other because in both cases it's a government pursuing some political object. I suppose the real 'opposite of war' would be the absence of state policy. Apathetic indifference to whatever the other party is doing.

> 24. WAR IS A MERE CONTINUATION OF POLICY BY OTHER MEANS.

> We see, therefore, that War is not merely a political act, but also a real political instrument, a continuation of political commerce, a carrying out of the same by other means. All beyond this which is strictly peculiar to War relates merely to the peculiar nature of the means which it uses. That the tendencies and views of policy shall not be incompatible with these means, the Art of War in general and the Commander in each particular case may demand, and this claim is truly not a trifling one. But however powerfully this may react on political views in particular cases, still it must always be regarded as only a modification of them; for the political view is the object, War is the means, and the means must always include the object in our conception.

Obviously Clausewitz's assertions are controversial but I think it's a viewpoint worth mentioning since you invited a broad consideration of the matter.

> Until the 1980s or so, Turing wasn't known much outside mathematics, and was considered a minor figure in computing. Von Neumann was the big name in computer architecture, and Friedman was the big name in cryptanalysis.

Big part of that is because a lot of what he did was kept classified or not publicized too much by the British government. They seem to have done a complete 180 on this relatively recently (now that tech and SV are all over the news) and seem to want to brand anything computing related with his name.

Am-I the only one that finds is odd how the British government brags about Alan Turing after what they did to him? Having a government research center named after him seems particularly strange after what they had him endure.
The state forced him to undergo chemical castration because of his homosexuality. Same state kept his achievements and contribution to the war effort a secret up until after his death, so they could persecute a war hero without the public knowing about it.

Crazy to think he was convicted in 1952. Same year Elizabeth became Queen and head of the British government. She could have simply overturned his conviction, as British law allowed her to do so. But she and the crown chose not to.

The man saved women, men, children, of all races and orientations from an horrible end. Had he not cracked the enigma's cryptography, there would most likely remain nothing today of the crown that persecuted him. Blown to dust by the Luftwaffe.

If only the British government had extended the same humanity to Turing himself.

Tl/dr: Top-down control of a country doesn't work. But we already knew this; the 20th Century was a huge experiment, run in multiple countries, in trying to make top-down control work. It failed. The lesson we should be drawing from all this is to stop asking our government and our elected representatives to fix all problems. The government's role should be limited to protecting everyone's basic rights and maintaining an orderly civil society. Any problem solving after that should be on us, as citizens and using private means, not government fiat.

Can’t reply to the comment below inquiring about odor, but people smoking crack are easy to spot as you don’t roll crack in a cigarette, you smoke it out of a heated glass pipe. It looks entirely different. So it’s easy to notice when done in the open. As far as odor… I think it smells a lot like meth that, when smoked, smells like an odd laundry detergent that you have never smelled before. Sort of like a decaying air freshener. That’s the best I can do.
Microsoft screwed up with the announcement of the Xbox One and they were never able to recover from that. They basically made one big mistake that has screwed them over. You are right but we are talking about a mistake from 10 years ago.

Yes they were, they have been doing it for years including in the PS4 generation. The distinction between funding and paying for however is a complicated one since we don't know whether or not something would have existed if it was not for Sony stepping in.

A few examples of this practice from Sony:

FF7 remake (3 years ago) and FF16 (there is no way in hell you can convince we either of those would not have been made without money from Sony)

We know from yesterday Sony tried to make Starfield exclusive

GhostWire Tokyo and Deathloop (both of these have since come to Xbox but it is unclear if this would have ever been the case if Microsoft had not bought Bethesda)

KOTOR remake that has yet to come out

Death Stranding (The exact situation for this is a bit unclear, but I doubt sony specifically funded it considering it is on Game Pass but not on Xbox)

It is not a hard to find a list of third party exclusives that Sony has paid for.

And again this also doesnt even get into the exclusive content for games. Meaning someone playing on another platform is spending the same amount of money and getting less of a game. "But its just one mission" I don't care, we spent the same amount of money. Off the top of my head I know of Call of Duty, Harry Potter, Destiny 2, and I know there are others.
