fexecve is just a wrapper of execve using "/proc/self/fd/3" as binary location. (with fd=3 pointing to a mmapped binary)
In 2014 you could still use a tmpfs location exec from it and unlink binary, but it generate a lot of artifacts.

Modern action films show glorious HD violence on screen too, and the victims are usually men. With detailed shots of the gore for us and camera cut-aways or knock-outs for women.

I always get some semblance of body count when watching stuff like that. Even with ones like John Wick III that were modern enough to have a couple female "henchmen", or movies that have a female lead action hero or villain, still overwhelmingly gory male deaths.

I know _why_ it's done; any violent against women on screen is deemed misogyny porn. But why is it okay for us to see a man's brains blasted out on screen? Or the "shock value" castration or nut shot (which is still apparently hilarious to audiences btw, but maybe not so much the other way around).

I'm not calling for more violence against women on screen per se, but I am intrigued by their exclusion even in an environment where we're really starting to embrace strong female characters in media, but the protectionism still runs strong. It mirrors reality, I suppose.
Highly unlikely on 20% is an eye opener. A lot of gamblers take that as short odds.

OpenStreetMap does hold opening hours of businesses.

Problem is the same name is also used for lists of search results – having a neighbourhood name being displayed there can definitively be helpful to distinguish multiple branches of the same company, while also having a higher chance of being at least roughly recognisable to people as compared to specific street names (which is what Google currently displays for POI listings).

Nvidias CUDA monopoly will end itself.

Nvidia is pushing upmarket, focusing on data center products it can charge huge amounts for.

As Nvidia pushes upmarket, the traditional computing market forces will come into play. These forces have played out for 50 years.

Users will seek cheap and available GPUs and they’ll find a way to get the job done with them.

At the moment, people say they can’t use retail GPUs because of RAM constraints.

This will change however. Through necessity, software will be developed that gets the job done on consumer grade GPUs. It might be open source. It might be AMD or Intel software.

This has always been the way with computers…. innovation at the low end will foil the plans of IBM to control the entire market. Oops did I say IBM? I meant Nvidia.

Nvidia has the chance to own everything long term, but monopolists can’t help but become greedy and become their own worst enemy. Nvidia is milking its customers for huge, huge profits. The customers will find another way, this Nvidia will have indirectly created its true competition.

If Intel and AMD want to defeat Nvidia they need to not play Nvidias game of going for the high end and turning its nose up at the low end. AMD and Intel need to produce the lowest cost, most powerful GPUs they can. They also need to attack Nvidia where it hurts. Nvidia has artificial constraints on its GPUs. Through drivers it prevents certain uses so that customers are forced to use high end data center GPUs. Where ever Nvidia has artificial constraints, AMD and Intel need to NOT have those constraints.

Where Nvidia is closed source, Intel and AMD need to be open source.

Nvidias dominance won’t end, but it’s monopoly will, and viable competition will form simply because Nvidia is so anti consumer, and in the computing game consumers are very resourceful.

What’s needed is a bunch of smart programmers who know how to squeeze usable AI out of a 24 gigabyte AMD 7900 XTX.
The legal cases don't "mean anything" because AI training is /legal/, not because courts are "corrupt". If anything is transformative, an AI that doesn't memorize its input is.
The training process forces it to optimise predicting the next token, across an extremely large and diverse set of tokens. To do this, it has access to a very large and layered neural network, "the weights", after the particular property of this network that changes during training.

We largely do not know what that neural network does in order to successfully predict the next token. We know how it learned in an obvious sense, it adjusts weights randomly on a pass and then evaluates if the loss is lower, preserving or rejecting weight adjustments as necessary using gradient descent. We know in a general sense "the neural net takes information from previous tokens and transforms them into a prediction for the next token". But we largely don't know how. This is where the controversy over whether it engages in reasoning or logic comes from; it clearly does, we can see it in how it responds to certain questions, but it is not obvious where in this process anything like a logic engine could fit in.

Some convincing research has suggested that the neural network generates a world model ("models the world" might be easier to understand grammatically) based on the information in the input data (the internet), which it then uses during inference to evaluate questions, with different parts of the model activating for different tasks, like recalling a memorised fact ("When was the Grand Canyon named?"), or answering a logical puzzle like the ones with Alex and Bob.

A hypothesis is that the process of taking a large neural net and forcing it to learn how to predict the next token on extremely large datasets with lots of compute gives it the ability to create "things" within itself, subnetworks or little logic engines or coarse emulations of various intelligent entities. After fine-tuning and all the other housekeeping, if you ask it a question it will figure out which of its "things" can answer that type of question, hand it to that "thing", and the "thing" uses both memorised information and other "things" to come up with an answer. If this hypothesis is true, there is no contradiction between "it predicts the next token" and "it reasons logically and relies on its memory to answer the questions it is asked". The full sentence would be "It reasons logically and relies on its memory in order to answer the questions it is asked, by predicting one token at a time."

I have not seen another hypothesis that adequately explains to me how it is possible for the current crop of LLMs to correctly answer novel logic questions. A ~good challenge to this hypothesis is that there are still problems that LLMs can't solve, like correctly formatted novel Winograd schemas, and it's not clear why this hypothesis should work for the things it can do but not for them. My answer to that challenge would probably be: build a bigger system and see if that can solve those other problems too. Scale seems to be the overwhelmingly dominant factor in performance for these things.

I'd say boredom isn't burnout. I've done the 9-5 and was bored out of my skull. I'd often have zero output in a given day.

I'm now doing my own start up and putting in a fairly significant chunk of hours (80h+/week) and while I absolutely love what I do, it's just getting too hard to keep up the pace. I'm tired, my work output degrades, so I get even less done. But I still absolutely love it =P

For the general person of course nothing technical matters. But for the industry it matters a whole lot.

Like I said I don't think she should have the job. But clarity is important and getting the facts right is important. (I also think the CEO comp is a bit of a sideshow, she was working for way below market before she got the increases, but of course, the right thing to do was not to give a non-performing CEO a raise, it was to fire her and hire someone who would perform and pay them market.)

Mozilla's very clearly a case where politics won over engineering. This is true in a very literal and unambiguous way: Former CEO Brendan Eich, an engineer, was fired for his controversial political beliefs (he didn't like gay marriage). He was then replaced by a non-engineer: a lawyer who proceeded to funnel money away from engineering and toward left wing political groups.

That's what a triumph of politics over engineering looks like.

This is all documented in their public finances. Lunduke did a recent article on it: https://lunduke.locals.com/post/4387539/firefox-money-invest... (now watch the political activists come out of the woodwork because I've dared to invoke an "alt right" guy's name, and do their best to drown out the point about how Mozilla keeps cutting their engineering budget).

Bottom line, politics won, engineering lost, Firefox is in freefall, and the fate of the open web is in jeopardy because of it.

All I'm saying is let's be clear and specific about what went down here. The problem runs much deeper than Mitchell's pay.
I believe the math background is quite important in ML, and having a good understanding of it from the beginning helps tremendously.

Hospital documentation (charting) policies are driven mainly by payer coverage rules and government care quality metrics. Administrator desire for stats and trends is much less of a factor.

There is a huge amount of waste and inefficiency in most provider organizations so any attempts at process improvement should be encouraged. As the industry moves toward value-based care reimbursement models there will be more financial incentives to do so.

The original date for this is actually 2004. Maybe 2003, but I can’t find an archival link.

I wrote the code because someone asked how to do this and it was easier to implement it than to explain it in detail. The whole thing is based on what I learned from “Linkers & Loaders,” a great book. (I still have my copy)

Later that year I wrote a wrapper around ul_exec() that used an automated interactive session with gdb to load a process, replace it with another binary (delivered over STDIN) and then execute that. This would prevent the binary ever being written to disk.

Remote exec was documented in phrack 62, along with the more advanced theory of counter forensics. Interestingly, the techniques I discussed in rexec() are now common APT tradecraft. Using common tools to limit the chance of detection and reduce evidence, aka living off the land, is now standard practice. I explained why about 20 years ago :)

On the topic of antidepressants, there is some mileage in starting at the beginning, namely with manganese.

https://www.nature.com/articles/193377a0

What makes it difficult for some experts, is that they perhaps dont know there can be 1000-2000 mitochondria per liver cell, and Mn Super Oxide Dismutase increases with manganese intake and beta alanine, which is required for MnSOD.

Point being are symptoms of depression caused by not enough manganese and beta alanine, when looking at how its missing from so much food and water.

When looking at aging, at end of life, feeling the cold is also a symptom of not enough manganese as the iron based reactive oxygen species generates the most heat in the body, ergo increase MnSod, more of the iron based ROS in the mitochondria can take place, like unblocking a drain.

Even the WHO have just rolled back on its manganese in drinking water guidelines.[1]

High fat diets also increase the faecal excretion of manganese, and alcohol contributes to manganese deficiency.

The risk with it, is with kids getting too much as it triggers puberty early as it increases luteinising hormone, and in adults, this would suggest an increase in sexual activity, which from a law enforcement point of view, is undesirable, but also probably explains why Weed makes people horny besides it phytoestrogens, namely because leaves, including tobacco will have the most amount of manganese in.

So it would seem there is a lot of meta data pointing to not enough manganese. Water regulations also require manganese to be removed from the potable water in the UK, so there will only be a few micrograms of the stuff in water.

Obviously pre-internet and personal mobile surveillance phones, trying to find and identify a chemical change to control the population would have been order of the day, but when seeing the rise in depression, have we reached a point where its becoming obvious there isnt enough manganese in our diet?

It also alludes to the possibility that cell sensing contributes to immunity as a 1st line of defence using ROS, something that is hindered by not enough manganese.

And obviously, less than optimal health contributes to the preservation of society, law and order.

I could put lots of links up, but cant be bothered at this stage.

With respect, I think you should research the topic more deeply before assuming that this is some sort of fringe problem that doesn't exist in the "actual" scientific community. The second link I provided is by Nature News and states specifically that the problem affects "prestigious journals" (their words).

Auto-generated papers have been published in journals from the IEEE, Elsevier, Springer Nature and other well known publishing houses. These papers have supposedly passed peer review in western journals that have been around for decades, and have been signed off by professional academics. Invariably no satisfactory explanation for how this happens is provided, with "we got hacked" being a remarkably common claim. Quite how you publish an entire magazine full of fraudulent articles due to one person getting hacked is unclear; actual newspapers and magazines don't ever have this problem.

Here's an example. The Springer Nature journal "Personal and Ubiquitous Computing" was established in 1997 and has its own Wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_and_Ubiquitous_Comput...

The Editor-In-Chief is a British academic, who also has his own Wikipedia page. So these aren't fly-by-night no-brand nobodies. Yet this journal somehow managed to publish dozens of obviously auto-generated papers, like this one:

https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1007%2Fs007...

"The conversion of traditional arts and crafts to modern art design under the background of 5G mobile communication network"

or

https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1007%2Fs007...

"The application of twin network target tracking and support tensor machine in the evaluation of orienteering teaching"

The papers are just template paragraphs from totally unrelated topics spliced together. Nobody noticed this had happened until months after publication, strongly implying that this journal has no readers at all (this is a common theme in all these stories, they never seem to notice themselves). The editor agreed the papers were nonsense (his words), but blamed peer reviewers. Yet this journal claims to have a large editorial board with over 40 people on it, mostly from universities in the Europe, USA and China.

What's amazing is that this exact same "attack" had happened before. The previous year Springer Nature had to retract over 400 papers which were auto-generated in the exact same way. They learned nothing and appear to treat the problem as a similar level of severity to filtering email spam.

And in the last six months alone we've seen major fraud scandals impacting Stanford (the President no less), Harvard and Yale. These are supposedly elite universities and researchers. Francesca Gino was earning over $1M a year. Yet their fraud is being uncovered by motivated volunteers, not any kind of systematic well funded science police.

So all the signs here point towards fraud being incredibly easy to get away with. Whole journals have literally no readers at all, academia relies on Scooby-Doo levels of policing, and supposedly prestigious brands are constantly having fraud uncovered by random tweeters, undergrads doing journalism as a hobby etc.
