> What if you put a TPM in a video card? Then your video for the game stream can be encrypted and only gets decoded just before being sent to your HDCP compliant monitor.

This is a fantastic idea. If you can get the GPU swap chain secured all the way from the datacenter's GPU, even the laziest cheaters would be forced to go buy specialized hardware to strip HDCP, and then find a way to get it back into the damn computer. What a fuckin nightmare, eh? It's almost like a job at that point. This is a massive barrier to entry and would likely eliminate 99%+ of "insecure" gaming experiences.

Could you do something even crazier like an HDMI pass thru terminal that detects the "secure gaming frame" via some signature and is able to decode it on the output? Sell em to gamers for $49.99 like it's a new kind of premium TV box? Doesn't change the security angle (can still break HDCP on the other side), and makes it so the gamer doesn't have to replace any PC hardware or software. Plug the box, load the streaming game website, enter your serial # to bind to your account, and off you go. You'd probably incur some extra latency using the external hardware, but with ASIC/FPGAs you could keep it right at 1-2 frames.
With airlines, it is comparatively easy to just plot a new route between a new destination (given that there is an airport). The airports also tend to be in popular areas where there is enough demand. Air routes are also generally not essential forms of transport (where they are, such as Alaska, US or remote islands in Scotland, they tend to be very subsidised). The airplane is often the superior option for the cost and time too, over rail or car.

The train is the opposite of all of this.

The people that can afford it, are able to get a car and drive there at little perceived expense and better flexibility (people don't often factor in the cost of the car, road, road maintenance, MOT, road tax, repairs to their journey). So public transport ends up being for those who cannot afford it, or is convenient enough for.

Not all routes in the UK are profitable. Closing unprofitable routes is unpopular with constituents, and disrupting and isolating if the residents do not have the financial means to get a car, causing social incohesion. So to balance this out, companies had to have both unprofitable and profitable routes balance out, in the hope that they will find more efficiencies than being state run. Existing routes are also very difficult to shut down in the UK.

Keep in mind, budget airlines pioneered enshittification because there are few equally convenient alternatives. RyanAir infamously charges for everything. In principle this seems fine (pay for what you use), but then the poor UX hits. In some airport, if your suitcase wheel sticks out 2cm - you get a bill for £50. It costs £4-10 to sit with your friends. What also is working is that the budget airlines have not yet colluded to only run certain routes, and older, premium alternatives still exist. Once the old airlines either change or go out of business, and the companies start colluding, it will be high-cost, unpleasant stagnation.

> It is zero shot. The llm is trained to generate next token.

I'm going to refer you to the sibling comments as they stated similar things and I answered them in depth and do not wish to repeat myself.

But to summarize:

Zero-shot := Goal of f:X → Z but train f':X → Y, where Y ⊂ Z. We test on A⊂Z, where A⊄Y (sometimes definition is A ∩ Y = {∅}, but I'm not being as strict)

> but that the model was not trained on this particular ML task and/or classes.

I'm going to need explicit clarification as to this. Explicitly or implicitly? See sibling comments and note about likelihood and density estimators w.r.t. classification.
Ask HN: I have 10 yrs of Exp. Failed 4 takehome projects. What am I doing wrong?
I'm actually a super senior/staff engineer with roughly a decade of experience. This current interview run has been demoralizing because I literally put a lot of effort into 4 different take home assignments and all 4 came back as failures with zero feedback given. I'm at a complete loss for what I'm doing wrong. I initially went in with a lot of confidence but I'm getting totally shut down on every submission.

A much bigger elephant in the room is the fact that nearly all mass of the universe is made of dark matter and we have no clue what it is.

It seems plausible to me that by the time a civilization can quickly travel to other stars, it becomes so different that it doesn't need to interact or even be visible to advanced monkeys on a distant planet, just like we aren't really striving to talk to exotic monkeys on isolated islands. And the only reason those exotic monkeys and birds haven't become our food, like cows or pigs, is that there is very little protein on their bones (speaking bluntly).

We also wonder why we don't see alien activity in radio spectrum, while at the same time we use encryption to make radio wave communication indistinguishable from noise. More advanced civilization might have learnt that not getting noticed is vital to survival, so they scramble all signals. That background microwave noise might be those signals scrambled.
But to be fair, it’s not like we’ve been able to look very many places. We’ve checked a few of the planets in our own solar system and it could be plausible to detect a civilization within a few light years by radio wave if we were very lucky.

The solution is to become wise. People want to just follow rules on how what to do, but in interactions with other people there is no such thing. Learn about people, learn to read people, signs of who is not to be trusted, why they are saying what they are saying. Don't fall in to any web somebody has woven, no matter how much you yearn to let go of control. The last is the most important. Most people's highest desire is to shut off their mind and let somebody else take the reins, come what come will. Then they're scammed, exploited, enslaved, or sent off to die in a war.

In the end, there's nothing new under the sun.
I know the evidence is that plenty of people are totally happy with applications running in a browser -- Office Online, Google Sheets, etc. are compelling evidence -- but I strongly prefer dedicated and native applications for something I'll be spending a lot of time using.

I'm not even necessarily blaming this on the performance difference, although that is a pertinent topic, but just the mental structure of something I'm using living in a browser tab rather than actually running on the computer.

They don’t. They simply assume the model’s most likely output is meaningfully correlated with true rankings even though it was never trained on this task and certainly has not been trained to output the most likely prompt given a prompt in some meaningful order. It’s hogwash.

Social graph is important, but is not the most important thing, or else every dev would be rich by just using "Login with Google".

And anyway, the case with Google is different because you didn't needed to download anything - they turned your account into Google+. Wanna comment something on Youtube? Ops, use Google+.

Dependencies are a graph, not a tree. Say z depends on x and y, which version of foo do you use?

Requiring a single version makes certain things a lot easier to deal with, because not all dependencies are actually inherited by another. If foo is an executable then sure, you can have multiple versions and it's no issue. If foo is a library then you might need to fail because there is no solution that works. Or you might not, it depends.

It might seem like I’m entrenched in my position, but it’s quite the opposite — the only reason I’m doing this is because I really believe it’s the best outcome for devs in the long run. I’m open to changing my mind and pulling the plug in everything.

I’ll read over your essay and give it some thought. There are a bunch of subtle aspects to consider; I’ve been thinking it over for about four months now and still haven’t covered all the territory yet.

It feels like this may be one of the most important decisions going forward — both from an intellectual property point of view, and an individual rights perspective. E.g. you mention that it’s civil disobedience to share the weights, but it feels like if someone is claiming to do open science (LLaMA), sharing the research materials is the minimum requirement. Plus look how it’s benefited them; they’ve captured most of the open source LLM mindshare. So it seems likely that this will lead to more open source work in the long run, not less.

Feel free to chat! You can DM me on Twitter or email me. I’ve been in the hospital with my wife for 7 weeks, with two to go, so I’ve been a bit less responsive than I usually am.

I really wonder if a large portion of the drop could be attributed to other sites that simply linked to Twitter in the first place.

For instance, I don't recall Twitter's search engine ever having great discovery on its own (maybe it did; I can't remember), but from my own personal experience, most things that I discovered there were from a web search or some other site just happening to land me there somewhere.

So, I imagine the traffic will just keep getting lower as search engines forget about them more.

They did consider KVM initially; I don't know how much things have changed and if they've reconsidered. The reasoning was that KVM's means of virtualization is too closely coupled with the Linux kernel, whereas Xen's hypervisor and dom0 are more separable.

> In Xen, at no point does the execution path jump out of the hypervisor to e.g. Dom0. Everything is contained within the hypervisor. Consequently itʼs easier to perform the careful security code audit of the Xen hypervisor, as itʼs clear which code really belongs to the hypervisor.

Tech jobs spend so much time getting up to speed, which some — maybe most — people don't find nourishing compared to actually moving at speed. Then something new comes out and you grind back to a halt in order to work to get back up to speed again.

In many other lines of work, you learn a skill, then refine it through work, with a trail of things created reflecting that development. In tech so many skills are disposable, and so little of the product survives iteration. The results likewise feel worthless to me, and over time the worthlessness of the work overtakes my own feelings of self-worth.

What are some personal projects you'd use C++ for? I have a hard time imagining any use cases for myself where it makes sense to use C++ over another language.
