For the neverending stream of talk about VR this, metaverse that, and WebGPU there, there should really be a KISS 3D format for the web so we can view things like this properly. Like Markdown simple. No shaders or animation or anything like that. Default lighting only.

It feels sad to look at a 2D image of the most 3D of all things.
I'm not sure how accurate this is but, for the hell of it, enjoy:

Huh… why does Docker require VMs on Linux? Isn’t the selling point of Docker that it uses the same kernel on Linux?

And it should be quite lightweight as it’s just a container…

It’s not that I don’t believe you but I don’t understand it… why would you need VM on Linux for Docker?

edit: huh

that’s… a bit stupid in my opinion. But you can always just use the default daemon so, eh. whatever. maybe I’m wrong. there are reasons I guess
Understanding the origin story is huge. This research could be the way forward towards a more scientific approach to cancer prevention.
It would not seem outrageous to wonder if any Blue Origin hardware will ever make orbit. They’re making SLS out to be a wild success in comparison.

ULAs Centaur issues should at least buy BO a couple more years of gravy until Vulcan collapses.
Not sure how that's relevant, unless you're suggesting that because some frauds exist in a given field, therefore all members of that field are frauds?
What is NTLite?
Maybe it is, but I also want audio, so the point is moot.

I don’t think a lot of people still buy desktops outside of the gaming segment.

The ascendance of Threads show how Bluesky and Mastodon basically fumbled the bag while the end-zone was wide open. A moderately decent experience was all that was needed. Threads isn't even that good, it's just better than Mastodon and actually publicly accessible unlike Bluesky.

A shame, I was ride-or-die for Mastodon. But its bad onboarding, bad discovery, and various UI hiccups killed it.

I haven't gone into it.

I think the idea is that the Commission maintains a list of countries to which it is OK to transfer data. The list is referenced from the regulation, but maintained by the Commission. Effectively, the Commission can adjust the legislation by buereaucratic pen-stroke, by altering the list.

I don't know whether it can operate retrospectively; for example, if you were off the list for a few years, but are now OK again, does that mean that your tech companies can't be chased for what they were doing when it wasn't OK?

I'd also like to know how this affects the UK. I don't know whether the UK implements the Commission's list in our legislation.

Like I said, I haven't had a chance to dig yet.
So then you also add a constant per patient, but then there's an incentive to be rushed. Gosh, it seems like profit incentive is a really bad way to run a healthcare system, doesn't it!

No, no. Set your tab stops to one space. Problem solved.
Before we reliably had money, we had barter and "mutual aid." Now, some people think you just pay for stuff with money and if someone is "nice" to you, you don't "owe" them anything.

A lot of people no longer seem to understand the implicit social contract behind such interactions and it can go bad places.

From religion to community development work to politics, there have been myriad attempts to educate people that if you don't understand that you are one figure in a larger equation where 1+1=3, then you are probably messing things up because that "3" isn't supposed to belong entirely to you as an individual and when other people get tired of being shafted, there will eventually be consequences.

You may be able to get away with claiming 1.75 of it and giving them 1.25 of it for a long damn time but if it becomes clear to them that all interactions between you and them benefit you at their expense, well, count on them eventually not being cool with that. (No, you don't get to keep shafting them and expecting something for nothing indefinitely, not even if you brainwash them into believing that being your victim is "The Christian thing to do" or some nonsense. If nothing else, it will eventually kill them, so this is simply not a sustainable model long-term.)
Welp, that's a wrap!

When, not if Call of Duty and many others Activision Blizzard has goes Xbox and PC exclusive, some people are going to get pies and eggs on their faces that is for sure. Also more consolidation of the gaming industry isn't good in the long run as it clearly opens the door for the big players to buy up even more assets. I can clearly see Microsoft buy EA, Sega and Square Enix now as a example.
No I don't think so. Not because of the content but rather the lack of it. The people that already have some idea of the missing content are not the general audience that would benefit from this. In my opinion a TED talk is not an appropriate format. TED barely gave him enough time to tell us the sky is going to be falling. People will need more depth to see what that might look like and how it might apply to them and what it even means to look for it.

I believe the format should be that of a 3 or 4 hour long-format podcast. Oh and not just one but many. There should be at most 3 guests on each podcast or it turns into a disruptive debate but each guest should be very intelligent and should help Eliezer go deeper into each rabbit hole and illuminate the path the AGI may take to reach it's desired outcome and what logic it would have used to reach this outcome. There should also be discussions about how to mitigate the highest risks without entirely banning the technology since it is impossible to ban a framework or toolset world-wide. People should walk away with an understanding of how bad things may/will happen and how they might contribute to mitigating said bad things in their career field. Or at least spot when they are their colleagues may be empowering automation to do bad things.

There should also be a 3 hour long podcast that stays at surface level but also helps people especially legislators, regulators and military intelligence understand the topic enough to make informed decisions without inducing knee-jerk reactions thus leading to a self fulfilling prophecy of humans going to war over something that has not yet itself been a risk to us. There should probably also be some legal academic research to see which laws would already apply to anything AGI could do rather than trying to create new laws.

It does look like he has been on Lex Fridman's podcast [1] which I have not yet watched.

Any good equivalent to Newpipe for iOS? I'm using Video Lite so I only get one ad when opening the app.
I'd like to have SponsorBlock like some Newpipe versions have and no ads at all.
He he, I tried using alien a looong time ago, without success. In retrospect, I was young and naive, only had a rather vague idea of what I was doing. So I can't say for sure if it was alien's fault or if I was doing something stupid.
I really, really love Observables as an imperfect solution in an imperfect world, but I don't think they will solve reactivity.

The main issue is, that it becomes a nightmare to transmit and compose meta-information. An example would be the fetchStatus of ReactQuery [1].

I way too often end up in situations like this:

.map {
unwrapMetaData
...
rewrapMetaData
}
...
.map {
unwrapMetaData
...
rewrapMetaData
}
.switchMap {
// unwrap metadata and wrap it in an observable
combineLatest(...) // have fun juggling an array of nested monads :)
}

I wonder if it is possible to create a mixture between React hooks and async/await. Since you tend to work in one big scope, you could ignore the meta-info until you need it.

async live function() {
const { value, meta } = observe getValue(...) // suspends when loading, throws on error
// work with values
const multipleValues = observe Observe.all(...map(i => ...))
// more work
// evaluateMetadata
}

Devices similar to what you are asking for are out there now, in recent years the market for these devices seems to have exploded. I recently built something similar to this one with i7 of some generation or other and quad 2.5gbit NICs etc. They are available in all sorts of neat fanless configs and a range of CPUs, and generally have no issues saturating all 4 ports at peak speeds etc. I just pulled the first hit from Amazon for "vpn appliance":

> https://www.amazon.com/SENSTUN-Firewall-Appliance-Fanless-Ba...

Being that they are just PCs, you can install pfSense or whatever solution you want. They are silent and no larger than a typical network switch. If anything, the enthusiast firewall market has been well served recently - there are well over 20+ models on amazon alone right now intended for homemade firewalls or routers.
That dataset looks cool. Good work either way, I'm sure it'll go somewhere
Shady debloater scripts?

Just inspect them.
NewPipe is excellent. I was disappointed that it was not available for desktop until I discovered tartube which will download video files from almost any website easily
Even easier would be to eliminate ICANN DNS and LetsEncrypt as mandatory dependencies for using HTTPS. If I'm the CA then maybe I know what I want to trust. Not every computer network user has same use cases. One size does not fit all, so to speak. If come computer network users want to use third parties to help them figure out who to trust, then they can do so, it's always an option. But currently there are some companies standing in the way of letting any computer network user determine trust themselves. Currently, delegating trust to third parties isn't optional, it's mandatory.
I doubt many people choose between IOS/Android based on specs. Androids with better on paper specs than iPhones have existed for a long time.

Who is paying for the hard drives?
Well, to be fair, they don’t know who’s knowledgable and who’s not?

I trust the financial figures filed with 10-K reports and the US SEC enough to not worry about that. If one does not trust those figures (for multiple different companies employing tens of thousands of people each), then further conversation cannot be had.

> So unless I switch to the >=EUR6.00/month Plus plan I cannot add a non admin user? So my grandma gets admin privileges? Is that not a blocker for a lot of families?

Maybe, but at least it's not per-user, per-month. I'm much more likely to set up something like this if I can add / remove family members as needed without thinking about the cost beyond the annual fee I pay for to run my own instance.

The blocker for me is typically ease of use. They recommend PhotoSync for transferring files to the instance. I currently use that for my family, but sync to a Nextcloud install (which I desperately want to replace). The part where it fails for me is that my family members don't understand how to verify everything is running as intended. For example, I checked one of their phones earlier this year and they had 5k un-synced photos.

What this really needs to be useful is a native app that does sync from the phone in a way that makes it relatively foolproof.

Beyond the ease of use, every link in the chain of the workflow is a point of risk IMO. For example, what if PhotoSync rug pulls everyone (I have no reason to believe they would) and starts charging a subscription? The app that runs on your phone and does the syncing is the more valuable half of the workflow IMO.
And still no web version :-(
Maybe the choice is not between one and many, but instead between one and none. If Glassdoor is so bad, then if it disappeared today, would you want it to come back? Bad things don’t necessarily need competition for best worst thing.
Use windows 10 LTSC and don't listen to the guy saying not to listen to people saying to use W10LTSC. I'm using it on my framework 12th Gen which "doesn't support windows 10" and it works fine.

That's really neat! I've mostly seen explanations about Hydrogen as a vehicle fuel so I've never stumbled on cavern storage. It makes sense to use isothermal compression. Especially if you can recover the energy from decompressing the hydrogen using a turbo expander which would be obscenely difficult on a vehicle.

It's distinctly sub-par on 6 of 18 benchmarks while close or better in 12. That's why I said "mostly on par"
Hash the keys before/while sorting. The repeated hashing with different seeds is an interesting approach to collisions but would add some annoyance here.

Roughly do just enough work to put the key/values in the same order that you would see them in when iterating through the corresponding trie.

Other way to go would be to implement merge then do the batch construction by partitioning the initial array, building tries out of the pieces then merging them. That could also be the fallback for when the first hash collides. If the partitioning was by the first five bits of the hash you'd get a reasonable approximation to doing the sort.

> Google has to accept the notice, unless NewPipe submits a counter notice,

They don’t have to accept it-they can choose to ignore or reject it. However, if they choose to ignore/reject it, and the notifier then sues them, they may lose one of their legal defences.

Obviously they decide that most of the time complying is the legally less risky path, so most of the time they comply. However, if they get a DMCA request for a famous website like nytimes.com, they probably won’t action it.
We’re classifying gigabytes of intel (SOCMINT / HUMINT) per second and found semantic folding or better in classification quality vs throughput than BERT / LLMs.

How it works — imagine you’re having these sentences:

“Acorn is a tree” and “acorn is an app”

You essentially keep record of all word to word relations internal to a sentence:

- acorn: is, a, an, app, tree
Etc.

Now you repeat this for a few gigabytes of text. You’ll end up with a huge map of “word connections”.

You now take the top X words that other words connect to (I.e. 16384). Then you create a vector of 16384 connections, where each word is encoded as 1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0, … (1 is the most connected to word, 0 the second, etc. 1 indicates “is connected” and 0 indicates “no such connection).

You’ll end up with a vector that has a lot of zeroes — you can now sparsify it (I.e. store only the positions of the ones).

You essentially have fingerprints now — what you can do now is to generate fingerprints of entire sentences, paragraphs and texts. Remove the fingerprints of the most common words like “is”, “in”, “a”, “the” etc. and you’ll have a “semantic fingerprint”. Now if you take a lot of example texts and generate fingerprints off it, you can end up with a very small amount of “indices” like maybe 10 numbers that are enough to very reliably identify texts of a specific topic.

Sorry, couldn’t be too specific as I’m on the go - if you’re interested drop me a mail.

We’re using this to categorize literally tens of gigabytes per second with 92% precision into more than 72 categories.
>Health insurance company executives are though, aren't they? Their compensation is the "administrative overhead."

Yes, and considering they health insurance company executives are not all the richest people in the US, there must exist some pressure to contain their compensation.

>once you take lowering claims costs off the table as a way to make more money.

This is a pretty big assumption. Surely, UHC/Elevance/CVS/Cigna/Humana risk losing clients if they let their costs go up compared to competitors, and hence their premiums go up, and then a competitor offers their customers lower premiums.
What? How does this lessen competition?

The PC gaming market is thriving thanks to Steam and indies.

Playstation is doing well. Switch is doing great.

Microsoft? Aside from providing Windows and DirectX, they're basically invisible. Xbox is just a cheap wannabe PC with no great games. It's a wonder they've supported it for this long. Maybe this acquisition gives them a fighting chance against Sony and Nintendo.

It's not like Activision and Blizzard are even particularly beloved, just pumping out endless sequels. They're steady but relatively soulless cash machines that don't really innovate anymore anyway.

Having Microsoft in control might improve their internal cultures, maybe make Blizzard games finally available on Steam, get more and Bethesda Xbox games on GeForce Now, etc. Maybe even make more games cross platform and with good controller support. Those all seem great. Meanwhile the real innovation will continue to come from indies while the behemoths just keep pumping out new graphics (which are often just Unreal anyway, which is again not Microsoft).

Microsoft is just too minor to be dominant in modern gaming, and Activision is a has-been that just keeps making filler titles. It's not some great loss to the industry. Now if someone acquired Valve, that would be a tragedy...
If you need medicine to live, you should pay for it. If you can't, the government should step in.

I was thrown in a typing class in high-school and I thought to myself "this is a useless class, I'm NEVER going to ever need this".

Interesting, given that I specifically sought out typing class in high school in the late '70s because I was confident that there was going to be a lot of keyboard usage in my future, might as well learn to use it.

And I don't want to hear whinging about subtle mechanical keyboard differences. When you learn at an under-funded rural school with manual typewriters, you also learn to appreciate anything that isn't making your fingers do mechanical printing. :-)

Blowing Up the Crypto Cartel: How FTX's Collapse Broke An Omerta
DMCA anti-circumvention provisions are regarding tools that circumvent effective access controls.

I realize that broken encryption is considered an effective access control in this context despite it being broken, but apps like Newpipe aren't even breaking encryption, right?

What aspect of the YouTube servers' behavior can be construed as an effective access control? Is there even a rudimentary secret, that never gets served to clients typically but that apps like Newpipe figured out?

Unofficial cable TV descramblers are illegal despite simply reconstructing the missing sync signal, but that's because they facilitate theft of services that are normally paid. YouTube is free.
Interesting to say it's scientific because falsifiable.
The objection is that it wasn't a theory, just fitting a function to data. It did "work" in that it captured some pattern: it was extremely good at generalizing/extrapolating/predicting. And was a "model" of something in the data. But there was no operational model behind it, of what was actually happening.

Newtonian mechanics has a model, beyond curve fitting.

BTW: I made this analogy between LLM and epicycles as a joke, but it's looking strangely isomorphic...

It's funny, because epicycles used to be the poster-child for ad hoc, overcomplex models with no conceptual basis... which is an exact match for LLM... but I don't recall the analogy being made. Not even in https://norvig.com/chomsky.html

You're free to, but I discourage the habit. It's more verbose to add the namespace:: prefix to symbols, but it sure does make it easier on the devs that have to work with the code later.
