What's problematic is that there are big models that adopt truly open source licenses, such as MPT-30b and Falcon-40b. As grateful as I am for having access to the Llama2 weights, it feels unfair that it gets credit for being "open source" when there are competing models that really are open source, in the traditional OSI sense.

The practical difference between the licenses is small enough that I expect most people (including me) will choose Llama2 anyway, because the models are higher quality. But that incentive may mean that we get stuck with these awkward pseudo-open licenses.

Like almost all psychology studies I doubt this survives its first attempt at replication. At most this will survive 20 years, someone else will do a similar study and fail. Either that or a reviewer will determine this study was clearly flawed or biological research will show more likely causes. There is too much evidence pointing to other causes of ADHD at this point on biological grounds to take psychological explanations seriously.

It's interesting that you say that because it's exactly what I realized from being put on a PIP and it was a large part of why, after being removed from the PIP, I quit a few months later.
I doubt Apple will be our savior here. Apple is in a great position to implement this spec: their secure enclave and the systems they've developed around it are practically the state of the art. Also Apple is in bed w/ traditional media. (Apple News, Apple TV, iTunes, etc.) Microsoft has been doing the same[1] for years w/ Pluton on the Xbox to protect their IP. Google has been doing this on Android using, dm-verity, SafetyNet, et al. Nintendo employs similar protections on the Switch with moderate success. (After the bootrom of the initial HAC-001 was patched on the production floor the only real option to attack a modern Switch is physically glitching the console.)

I suppose Apple may object on the grounds of being a "privacy focused" company, but I'll believe that when I see it. I'm not gonna sit here holding my breath for these megacorps to do the right thing.

IME in cases where a PIP is truly triggered by performance, 9 times out of 10 the manager has already tried very hard to address the issues and not seen results. It's unusual there's anything to be done.

I will see that as someone who mentors a number of engineers, some of the PIPs I see are ridiculous. Here's a verbatim quote from the PIP of an engineer at a decacorn: "Employee must not receive more than 3 pieces of corrective feedback on any single PR". That's _basically_ constructive dismissal.

Can we please just skip to 2-5 years from now when image/video generation is so good that it's as easy to fake it as it is to lie in textual form?

Most important information is textual, and there's really nothing at all that binds text to reality. So we have laws about fraud and libel for important matters. Trust is a hard problem! But we're working on it, and images were never much of a solution to it anyway.

Most of the time, we just don't care. Many stories are untrue; explicitly fictional. Some of them are untrue in ways that could emotionally damage others (gossip, insults). That's just a part of social life, to be mitigated socially, not judicially.

Images are going to be just like text. Let's all just embrace that already. You can't lie any more or less with them than you can text, once we all (inevitably) stop trusting them as though they were difficult to fabricate. There's a little turmoil coming, but there's less if we all just decide to get over it now rather than cling desperately to the idea that images are somehow more deeply intertwined with the real world than text is.

You probably have not come across Lev Landau's ranking of physicists.From Wikipedia:

Landau kept a list of names of physicists which he ranked on a logarithmic scale of productivity ranging from 0 to 5. The highest ranking, 0, was assigned to Isaac Newton. Albert Einstein was ranked 0.5. A rank of 1 was awarded to the founding fathers of quantum mechanics, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Satyendra Nath Bose, Paul Dirac and Erwin Schrödinger, and others, while members of rank of 5 were deemed "pathologists". Landau ranked himself as a 2.5 but later promoted to a 2.

”Performance" is always difficult to define, and you could take most average employees and frame them in a low performance light some way or another.

The most frequent gripe I've seen were people late at a few meetings being marked as impacting the team. Like, sure that's not great and not polite, but would that be on par with generating 20k errors in production that need to be fixed a whole friday ?
At least in the circles I work in, nobody does reference checks and the previous employer is limited to verifying that you worked there (not the reason you were let go) and if somebody asked, I'd just say (which seems to be the case here) that the company was downsizing and I was one of the people selected for being laid off.

For example, all those folks fired by Twitter... it would be silly to think that they weren't doing a good job, it was just a petulant move by Musk.
A trust chain beginning at the bootloader is what will ultimately enable this API, though, because that's what SafetyNet/Play Integrity API relies on.

> I'm assuming "attester" here means "hardware authenticator." How is the attestation low entropy if it's presumably signed by a key that is unique & resident to my device?

From what I understood, the "attester" is a remote server, which signs the attestation with its own key, after somehow verifying that the browser and operating system and drivers and machine is not running any code that this remote server does not completely trust. That key can be used at most to identify the remote server, which is supposedly shared by a wide number of devices.

Yes, this means that your browser depends on having a working connection to that remote server for every attestation it makes, and that if that remote server colludes with the web page (or is compromised), it can leak your identity.

I have experienced an deterioration in the mobile browser experience. When using Safari on iOS you always get a full page prompt that wants you to switch to the app. The problem is that it is slightly delayed from the rest of the page loading. If you started to scroll, your viewport is now offset vertically, making it impossible to get to the latest message. The JS always forces you down. So now you need to hard reload, wait for the prompt again, skip and only then you are able to access the search and latest message. It maddening.

No I am describing the growth of wealth and improvement of society over time. The pie isn't a fixed size. It grows with how much we produce. The more we produce the more there is to go around. Consuming more than we produce shrinks the pie.

There will always be people at the top and people at the bottom of any specific hierarchy. It is not possible to shape a society where all are equal in all ways. There is too much variability in human personality and ability for that to ever be possible. The best we can do is make it possible for all to achieve what their ambition and ability allow while preventing anybody from stopping others from doing the same. We have that now.

Subnautica -

It’s an open world survival craft game set underwater on an alien world.

The basic gameplay mechanics of diving underwater, having limited oxygen, light and time create an immersive baseline experience. It’s scary, exciting, and fun.

The core gameplay loop is about exploration, and as you advance and get better equipment and vehicles the experience of gameplay qualitatively advances too which is satisfying.

As you go deeper and farther away you find so many beautiful alien biomes and terrifying creatures. The game provides equal parts wonder and terror.

Gillian Russell, “Epistemic Viciousness in the Martial Arts,”

It is about traditional martial arts masters, trapped in their echo chamber, sniffing their own farts. The whole industry gets its ass kicked by mixed martial arts. Basically street thugs versus shaolin kung fu masters.

it describes in-group bias, echo chambers, and cognitive dissonance in large groups. Very applicable in modern science, politics and so on.
No it is not funny at all. Terrible things were done in world war 2. I don't see any humor in that. It would be great to think that the world has seen the end of totalitarian regimes determined to expand at any cost, but world politics suggests otherwise.

You are sticking to the term "militarily crippled" but is it justified? Yes, Japan had lost the war by that point. But crippled implies that they could not fight back, or inflict losses on an invading force. There is no evidence to suggest that.

If the two bombs had not been used, when would the war have ended and how many lives would it have cost on both sides before it was over? More or less than 200 000? Would that have been better or worse morally?

Those are difficult questions. I don't claim to have good answers to them, but I would not glibly dismiss them with sarcasm.
One, that’s totally untrue. Tractors, for instance, have nothing to do with American mega corps.

Two, whatever, the reasons manufactured to keep productivity low are irrelevant. The sector is being run inefficiently to keep a surplus of farmers employed. High food costs are a political choice.

In economics the closer you get your price to be MR=MC the better off your profit. If they did as you said more than likely they would be leaving money on the table. This is usually a fairly common intro economics problem as it can seem unintuitive to lower the price to make more profit. Now iPhones do have somewhat of a 'monopoly' effect. But only to a point. In a monopoly you want MC=MD. https://openstax.org/books/principles-economics-3e/pages/9-2...

Apple falls in the middle of those two axioms. If Apple could pull of an iPhone for 1 cent there would be a flood of entrants into the market doing the same thing as making the things would be cheap and easy. At first some would pay the premium (pay for the name) but after awhile that premium would erode and it would seem odd to pay when you can get the same thing for wildly less money.

> Once you get to the endgame it's pointless, and people basically blaze through the base game on purpose. And once you get there it really is no more than a slot machine that caters to people with serious gambling addictions.

Feels like you're missing the point of end-game players. It's not the slot machine. It's pushing further and further into end-game content. It's a race to see who can dive deeper into dungeons and what builds are necessary to push to the true "end game". Diablo, the campaign, is and has always been trivially easy. Super high levels of these dungeons stack up so many resistance penalties and the level difference adds so much damage reduction (for enemies) and increase (for you) that it becomes much more of a skill based game. This is what I play these games for. Not the campaign that you can sleep through.

For my wife, the game ends when we kill the big baddie together on normal difficulties. For me that's when the content just starts getting interesting. There is a lot of grinding involved, but you're having to pay so much more attention to what abilities / upgrades / paragon selections you make none of which are important at all for the main campaign.

Agreed. This issue you're talking about is the forefront of the political climate in the US today.

Do we speak the truth? Or do we speak in terms of empathy so as to not diminish constructive conversation?

It hurts my feelings when someone says 99% of all rape cases are from men. I may get angry when someone says that and that is, like you said, not leading to "constructive conversation."

But the issue here is that the 99% statistic is also the truth. So that's the big question with social justice and liberal politics today. How much do we bend reality for the sake of feelings or "constructive" discussion? When does reality get so bent that "constructive discussion" is no longer "constructive"? Let's not talk about rape and let's not talk about how males are the majority instigators because it hurts my feelings and is not constructive.

Additionally there's very selective application of "constructive discussion". For example you see a lot of rightly placed discussion about the male/female pay gap but no discussion on the fact that males make up 70% of homeless people. The 20% pay gap is by far the bigger issue here. Why?

I wrote a lot here because I care about the subject. For my money, I would argue that your one liner comment against the massive content I'm putting up here is the one that is "dismissive".

>> > An attacker on the remote server can piggyback on your SSH session and do anything else desired

> This myth is about 20 years out of date.

This hole didn't simply disappear when -c was added.

The vulnerability is simply that the socket file containing the connection back to your agent is accessible by anyone who managed to escalate to root on the remote host.

You're making several assumptions:

#1: someone is using -c

#2: that -c even does anything on their platform

#3: the user pays attention to them and is untrickable

#4: there are no bugs in the ssh-agent or gpg-agent on the client machine

Any one of these being false renders all protection from -c moot; worse yet, a bug in the ssh-agent (or gpg-agent, if that's your poison) like the one in the subject of this post can be leveraged into complete client takeover.

> Once captured from the compromised remote, those keys can be exfiltrated and used repeatedly.

that is true, which is why they should be tightly scoped.

> But, if an agent is somehow tricked into signing an unauthorised request, that access is still limited to one use only.

That one use only is all that is needed. An attacker might install another pubkey, start up another socket process, or even rootkit the remote box if you have sudo, doas or if there are any privilege escalation vulns.

These situations are identical in that the remote box is pwned, but only one of these tries to limit the exploits to just that one remote box and not every other host your keys have access to.
