Wild. So any other website could then do the same thing as you, accessing the hardware key and all...? Did anyone stop to think maybe this wouldn't be the best way to expose a hardware key? I mean, if you care about security at all, which you probably do if you're even bothering with a hardware key...??!?! %-)
The trouble for me is the text flashing in and out on top of the graphics and the rescaling of the images by scrolling.

If the text was above/below the images (like a python notebook) and the images were static, I imagine I would like it a lot more.
A challenge here is that it is pedantic, even if it's true. I've been very vocal about how the LLaMAs as well as other models like those released under RAIL licenses are not open source. But the truth is very few people care and attitudes like the one above are common. What needs to happen is for a strong, and I'd suggest copyleft, alternative to emerge that's good enough to make people have to care more about license terms. That plus continued advocacy in the face of people dismissing pedantic distinctions as irrelevant.
There's a no-std tutorial on how to write a demo kernel in Rust. https://os.phil-opp.com

osdev.org, sandpile.org, RBIL, and freevga. The biggest PITA is hardware support. There are many good vintage hardcopy books with recipes for things like reliable port IO and undocumented hardware tricks.

- Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual Combined Volumes: 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and 4

- Microsoft MS-DOS Programmer's Reference (also includes real-mode BIOS calls)

- PC Interrupts

- Undocumented PC

- PC Intern

- Programmer's Guide To The EGA, VGA, And Super VGA Cards

- Graphics Programming Black Book Special Edition

Also, it's worth toying with advances in OS dev past the era of monolithic, microkernel, and hybrid.

1. Capability-based like seL4. It has a number of inherent performance and security advantages including capabilities and excellent IPC.

2. POSIX compatibility layer. Even embedded OSes without the concept of threads or processes can implement POSIX.

3. Hypervisor. They're much easier to add with intel's VT-[xd]. Failing that, fall back to emulation. Translational emulation is very performant.

4. Get good at generalizing interrupt handlers, making them fast, avoiding race conditions, and using lock-free patterns.

Also:

5. Rewriting or trapping unsupported instructions including x87 and MMX.

6. The failure of pure microkernel was the added complexity and management of sequencing multiple resources in a transactional manner. There are great theoretical security and operational advantages in microkernel architectures but they never caught on widely in a pure form.

Do you understand that there is no such thing as "illegal" in international "law"? Sovereigns can literally do anything, and everything, and absolutely everything they want. So it is "right", maybe not ethically, but certainly legally. "The Government of Mali" does not report to anyone [1], so there is no institution to rule this as wrong, or a human process that can overrule the decision.

Other sovereigns -- hopefully one of them counts you as a citizen and involves you in its processes through democracy -- can simply boycott, or embargo them, or dissuade them through diplomacy, or armed forces. Unless you understand this, you don't have a good model of what "the Government of Mali" means, and thus it doesn't make sense to make business with "the Government of Mali".

[1] Well, except maybe to the people of Mali, or the constitution of Mali, but that's an internal "implementation detail" that's abstracted away from you, unless you're a citizen of Mali.
I believe the responsibility falls on you to moderate yourself (not some organization like govt to set rules for everyone). But I know it's hard. Time limits on iPhone were not enough for me.

If having rights is a social construct as opposed to a universal truth, then you don't have any rights at all. You have temporary granted permissions, but not fundamental rights.

As such, it's much more likely that they are universally true rather than a result of human consensus.
I was trying to learn more about this subject and decided to pull everything together into one place.

The rise of "worse is better": https://www.jwz.org/doc/worse-is-better.html
It's a mix of historical happenstance, confusion and historical impression.

First, the two languages were initially revealed around the same time, and they were both new AOT-compiled languages targeting a bit downstack from your Java and C#, which was in opposition of the trend since the 90s.

Second, Rust was specifically targeted at "system programming" from the start, as from the start Mozilla desired using it to displace C++ in the browser; Go was also initially billed as a "system programming" language, though for a completely different interpretation of the term.

Finally, not only did the initial rust announcements very much emphasise concurrency (something Go also does), the initial rust was a much higher-level language, with a mandatory runtime, green threads, and (plans for) a GC.

Even though Rust changed drastically between the initial announcement and the 1.0 release, and went significantly downstack (aiming much more squarely at C and C++), those initial impressions have left lasting traces in the global consciousness.

And while the two have generally different niches, they very much do compete when it comes to... CLI utilities.

At least running an .exe should be somewhat obvious to computer literate people. When I saw those signed applet dialog prompts, even as a developer it was not obvious to me that it also meant granting unsandboxed x86 code execution to a .dll/.so from the internet.
There is some interesting content regarding this in the Timestamps and Sequencing section in this post about the Go execution tracer overhaul:

There are people who consider software written, I mean painted, or as they say modelled, in the language of e.g. Simulink to be of higher value than other representations of code.

The reason for this is probably different use of the same terms. Some code might be tested within an implementation of a model of the real environment. That is a frequent use-case used to sell graphical languages. The term model is used for two different things: The model of the real world to allow testing and for the implementation of the solution in a graphical language. Of course developers in those environments are Klingons like we all are, no real effort for tests, and only the graphical solution remains. But it is perceived as if it had all the positive attributes of a solution tested in a simulated reality. And therefore something modelled is better, because it is modelled.

The overwhelming majority of all human advancement is in the form of interpolation. Real extrapolation is extremely rare and most don't even know when it's happening. This is why it's extremely hypocritical for artists of any sort to be upset about Generative AI. Their own minds are doing the same exact thing they get upset about the model doing.

This is why fundamental "interpolative" techniques like ChatGPT (whose weights are in theory frozen) is still basically super-intelligent.
I was trying to find out about video stabilization options on Linux yesterday and stumbled over an article that extremely confidently was discussing a tool that’s maintained by the „authors of ffmpeg“ … which surprised me. So I googled it and couldn’t find it. Then I put the name into quotes and found three articles mentioning it, all by the same company.
Hey, who knows.

But if you choose .io, you're gambling on the future of your internet property in a way that the owners of traditional domains like .com simply don't have to worry about.

What if someone decides to start a media campaign for divestiture of .io domains? It's not particularly likely, but it's a risk to weigh against the benefits of a cool domain.

Yes, it means that they are not biased against non-binary people. If that's how some of the songwriters identify, and they are doing statistics by gender, of course they would include it. In any case, omitting those songwriters or arbitrarily assigning them to the male or female category wouldn't change the conclusions, because there are only a few of them.

You are supposed to go on liking what you like. You don’t have to like what other people tell you you should like instead.
I can't imagine .io would ever be removed. if anything, it'll be categorized like .org or .com if it loses its geographic justification.
All the responses I'm reading so far are rather shallow and fails to consider the overall landscape and how it will evolve and who the big losers will be. The way I see it, that the current players include Google (which has a lot to lose), OpenAI (unclear business model) and upcoming startups (can disrupt Google/OpenAI). Meta releasing these models will impact Google and OpenAI the most by helping upcoming startups to inflict fatal blows or slowly chip away at their business models by means of a race to the bottom. The main issue preventing Google or OpenAI to succeed is that the regulatory landscape will pose a huge risk and Meta knows that. Startups are not hampered by this as they are small fry and before anyone can notice, they can/will land a blow on Google/OpenAI.
To all those people complaining on this not being open source - Zuck is playing chess, while you play a much simpler game. Advancing SOTA and a bit of Open source is a side benefit.

And there is a lot of precedent for removing ccTLDs for countries that no longer exist, regardless of what is using them, e.g. East Germany, USSR etc.
Wait, so the argument here is that securing secrets is somehow not worth it? That’s just silly. And that’s the most kind word I can think of for it. It might actually be too kind. Stupid might be more correct. Or just wrong.

Step through it as an attacker. There are half a dozen attack vectors where securing your secrets makes sense. Even storing them in plaintext in a file on a server is more secure than k8s “secrets”.

I just can’t even…
You can find all kinds of interesting emulator implementations out there. I’ve personally seen a large manufacturing shop run some of their core business processes inside DOSBox.

> Usually they’ll force sign you up for some captive insurance company or insurance of last resort,

This has been my experience when the lender screws up and fails to accurately record the insurance information. Then, near the expiration date, when they check, and find nothing, one gets a nasty-gram in the mail berating one for failing to maintain insurance, and indicating that if they don't get proof of insurance within 15 days of the date on the letter (of which at least five days has usually already lapsed), they will apply their own insurance, to the tune of 4x the cost of the actual insurance that is still valid and active.
I've thought about building an international tech union, interfaced with via CLI. It would be so much fun (even the legal issues of having a union in so many countries)! Seriously, I'd love to do it, but I'm too broke to pull that one off -- I'd probably need millions just to get started.
No, no, no. Being nice to our family and kin is what made us strong.

They can keep pretending it's an open source licence, and I'll keep pretending to respect their copyright in algorithmically generated weights.
That sounds like "I just don't want that!". We don't need a map to know how dissolved CO2 influences acidity of sea water. Trust the science, bro.

So cool. Imagine having a portable computer you could program and take with you in your pocket.

The iPhone future we have is disappointing compared to how I thought things would turn out.
Sure, I'll agree they're closely aligned but software freedom and "user" agency (I'm guessing as opposed to general human agency?) require software to be relevant and therefore I wouldn't say they're universal human rights.

Important? To be sure. Just not "rights".
I don't think the author is trying to spur you to action. Like most articles, it's meant to make you think.

This is not a study.
So I'm looking at the end of this and everyone is blaming the researchers for showing that EJMR was doxxing them, and not blaming EJMR for doxxing them.

This is what is meant by "people should not do cryptography": it is well understood by the most basic entry level of cryptographers that you must much always salt almost anything you ever hash or encrypt and that failing to do so is generally going to result in catastrophic failures. Yet here we have a person who found the sha function and threw a bunch of unsalted data into it, and then proceeded to dox their "anonymous" users.

The researchers here did nothing wrong, the incompetence was on the part of the site operator. Any people who think that the researchers did do something wrong should ask themselves how they know that no one else did this secretly already, and whether "Kirk" would have fixed this blatantly stupid design if the researchers had not made them aware of it. Also, the site was able to just arbitrarily switch to a new salted hashing scheme which just makes me wonder what the point of including the ip in the hash actually is in the first place.
Your general point is in agreement with the article then.
It's time to break Google up. They're the AT&T and Standard Oil of our generation. Make Ads, YouTube, Search, Cloud, Chrome, etc. all independent companies. Demand that antitrust regulators do their damn jobs for a change.
So your anecdote actually does go against the bidirectional relationship in the study. I’m not saying it disproves it or anything, just that this is things going the other way.

The model is that there’s a loop of bad behavior -> worse treatment -> worse symptoms -> worse behavior. Taking the kids to a therapist interrupts that cycle. Bad behavior -> more appropriate treatment -> better symptoms -> better behavior.
That's tuning llama which is allowed from what I understand.
Otherwise why release it at all, it's not very functional in its initial state anyway. What that applies to is using llama outputs to train a completely new base model which makes no practical sense.

As for generating jsons, that's more of a inference runtime thing, since you need to pick the top tokens that result a valid json instead of just hoping it returns something that can be parsed. On top of extensive tuning of course.
The last few years in particular have seen a dramatic rise in housing prices[1]. Reversing even a few years would dramatically increase affordability for many people.

I do feel 74 bits per second is enough though. That would require 2^(74/2) = 137 billion UUIDs generated in a single second for a 50% chance of a single collision.
Amazon and Google can probably buy off some of these Third World dictatorships to ensure ongoing use of the TLDs. (or pay for a coup)
The idea of Exxon becoming “net zero” is a howler and we can’t let them get away with it.

We need to price the carbon emissions at the source. If they want to pass on the external carbon costs to their customers, so be it.
Typically, lower demand means lower prices - at least in the short term. I believe that TSMC is saying that demand is decreasing quickly and a supply glut will need to clear until it gets better. Just my two cents.
I wouldn't necessarily view it as malice from the beginning. It's entirely likely that early Chrome was really trying to solve usability problems in hosting complex applications like GMail. A goal that was attempted throughout history, as seen from the days of ActiveX, Java Web Applets, Flash, etc.

But capitalism does what it does best, and will happily take advantage of (and try to prolong) a natural monopoly situation even if the origins were genuine.

In fact this is why there are regulations around "utilities". They are also an area where a natural monopoly is the optimal, so they shouldn't be treated as a free market.

(Food for thought: Perhaps the Internet infrastructure should be a utility too? Browser makers could be forced to be non-profit, which would mean companies need to divest themselves of the "Internet business" if they want to do "business _over_ the Internet")
Because ICANN does not have sovereignty over ccTLDs, which are considered nation-state assets.

The customer protections are much better for generic TLDs.
