In your point of view it's immoral, not from everyone's, it seems. Either way, technology still arrives.
If my childhood experiments with anything amenable to a screwdriver are anything to learn from, you'll learn more from breaking it than looking at it. We can always use all those pointless atomic bombs we spent billions on to sterilize it from a safe distance if things get out of hand.
The typeahead is awful.

The request to load in the suggested cities should not block the UI. There should also be a loading indicator so that the user knows it's not a normal text input and it should prevent the user from selecting a city when the list goes stale.
Ah! That's what got me. Private mode is my default. I can confirm that I get it working in Firefox outside of private mode. Thanks :)
Any time you have to 'change' someone's opinion, you're off to a bad start. It is far better to focus on building things people already want vs. trying to convince someone they need something.

We call this a 'solution looking for a problem' and it is startup 101.
Ok but seriously, this might be the only way to combat WEI. Don't even preach to the user about the evils of WEI (ain't nobody gonna read that wall of text), just say it is not supported and tell them succinctly how to turn it off / get a different browser.
Absolutely agreed. The US military is so well funded and capable that they could finish the job without needed to resort to nukes.

Yeah, I've ran into a fair share of integrity-related problems on microG myself. Notably, apps for most banks I use work fine, but e. g. McDonalds app outright refuses to run. No discounted burgers for me I guess!
Read the usernames. I never said a single word about meat. What I am saying is that rich people should obviously be able to buy more things than poor people, that is the definition of being rich. And I have no qualm about rich people existing, even billionaires: presumably they generated more value for the rest of the society than their wealth, and if not, then it's up to society to change the tax code.
> Once again it seems clear that running code from two security domains on the same physical processor cores is just not possible to get right, and we should probably just stop doing it.

Yes. This has had its heyday: the era of the time-shared systems, from the 1960's, right into the 1990's (Unix systems with multiple users having "shell accounts", at universities and ISP's and such). These CPU attacks show us that secure time-shared systems where users run arbitrary machine code is no longer feasible.

There will still be time sharing where users trust each other, like workers on the same projects accessing a build machine and whatnot.
Don’t worry. Once we’re all gone - life will spring right back.
Those things come in waves. Once the first large CPU vulnerability was found then more followed soon. I think it's obvious why this is so.

Yep, I can relate. I also started to avoid reading the news. In the past, I would read the news first thing in the morning. Now I do it only in the afternoon. I also unsubscribed from a newspaper and one Youtube new channel which had too many negative news. Overall I feel better, less depressed and anxious. And my productivity had improved.
> Why couldn't he just turn NeXT into the wealthiest company in the world?

That is a great question. The answer is complicated, but the primary reason is he screwed up. The machine was way too costly for its target market. By then, he'd run out of money. But he'd learned a great deal. He then bought control of Pixar, and turned that from failure into a massive powerhouse. Then he went back to Apple.

There's a book about it, "The Second Coming of Steve Jobs".

Jobs made three fortunes: Apple II, Pixar, and then Apple again. Just one of those would be a spectacular achievement, but he did it 3 times.
So cool to see a second Dunedin, NZ post on here in the last week or so.
I've lived in Texas for 30 years and I've haven't seen anything like what you see in Europe in terms of racist demonstrations and blatantly racist political organizations. The few weeks of my life I spent in Germany felt far more discriminatory. There is nothing like the AfD in the US. The funny thing is while Racist Xenophobia is a huge issue, there is a ton of Xenophobia against various eastern europeans as well.
DeGods name changed to DeStake, so that is the same thing.

> Only if there is no constraint on the model. But the fixed number of parameters

Nope. cf. the under-determination of evidence by theory.

> So accurately modelling the past is certainly very informative for the future.

Nope. cf. we don't have infinite measures on infinite events in the past.

Consider that any given measure of an event, say M(E) is really a measure of a near infinite number of causes, say C1...n. Now, how many independent measures of these do we have? A handful.

so we really have, M(E|Controlling(Handful C1..n)))

do we want to model that?!? No.. that's insane. That's superstition. That's what all of science stands against.

Here's what we do: we build models not fit to any data. We build models that can generate the data we observe, but we build them by familiarity with reality *NOT* with the measures M.

How do we do that? Many ways, but the body is a key component of the answer. We have practically certain causal models of the body.

ConceptCup = MySensoryMotorActions(RealCups)
I_Touch = MySensoryMotorActions(Me)
P(I_Touch_Cup|Cup_Exists, ConceptCut) ~= 1
P(I_Touch_Cup|-Cup_Exists, ConceptCup) ~= 0

by iterating through such sensory-motor actions we can find concepts which produce these discrete splits. We call these concepts 'objects'. And from these we assemble models of reality whose shadow is our measures.

We handle the cup, and by handling the cup can imagine the cup, and by imagine the cup can generate measures of the cup.

You cannot reverse from a shadow of a vase to the clay vase itself: there are an infinite number, given abribtarily infinite parameters. The task is to find the right parameterisation; not to suppose that any given one has one solution (it doesnt, so a fool's hope anyway).

Such a condition is just a formalisation of supersition: my model is decided by the data; my parameterisation is 'free'. My model of the world is cooincidence.

Indeed, the truth is, in a sense, only a single parameter.
I think it's clearly dishonest, but fairly limited potential to harm the business. It's on the same moral level as going to a chain restaurant every week and telling them it's your birthday every time so they give you a free dessert. It's definitely lying but you're not going to put them out of business. If everyone started doing this, they'd just get rid of the free dessert/free article policy and probably be fine.
Lots of folks out there would rather skip the hassle of running their own models, and that's totally understandable. Similarly, you've got plenty of folks who'd rather pay for managed hosting services instead of dealing with the nitty-gritty of setting up everything themselves using free tools. This opens up exciting opportunities for successful companies to offer some real perks – think convenience, a smoother user experience, and lightning-fast speeds, just to name a few! All of these things save time and are worth paying for.

I wrote my reply based on what GP wrote, which implied usage of mass produced garbage coming from god knows which hellhole factory in Asia. Adding "ifs" (what if it was produced by a Star Trek replicator using only solar energy?) does not further any argument.

Also, nobody is taking anything away. The market is so oversaturated they would simply switch to a different product line. But still, carelessly contributing to the pile without even thinking about the consequences of your actions is not the best thing in the world
all valid points - but if every bank requires attestation your solution will be? go use the ATM? I guess you're in the U.S probably so that's an option but basically for some parts of Europe this will mean people will have to use attestation to basically exist.
Well, there are two opposing approaches: "up and running" defaults or production defaults.

You choose "up-and-running" defaults if you want people to be able to immediately run your software. So this means no encryption, no auth (or "the first user is the admin" kind of auth), storing your state in a bundled SQLite DB, etc. This helps with growth, because random devs can download the container image, run it and check out your features in five minutes. And then run it in production.

With production defaults everything is locked down. Go issue some certificates and make sure your OS (or JRE) trusts them, because your nodes won't talk to each other without TLS. No one has any rights to anything by default, can't even log in until you go and edit authN/Z configuration. The container will kill itself if the env var for the database password is still "change_this!". It's a pain to deploy this, but a pleasure to run.

Ideally, all products should come with two sets of defaults. Your AIO quickstart image should be easy to run. Your production-grade image or the configs that come with the distribution should be locked down tighter than Fort Knox.

K8s is a piece of infrastructure that doesn't really benefit from an "up and running" approach, but it has this kind of defaults for some reason instead of having every default policy resolve to "not allowed".
LLMs aren't simply modeling frequency distributions. Self-attention essentially searches the space of circuits to find which circuits help to model the training data. This search process recovers the internal structure of the training data that isn't captured by naive frequency distribution models. The limit of arbitrarily complex frequency distribution models, i.e. P(xN|x1...x(N-1)) for large N is just memorizing the complete training data, which we know LLMs aren't doing due to space limitations. The abilities of LLMs aren't well explained by parroting or modeling frequency distributions.
unfortunately it's mandatory to install devdeps to build the source code (typescript, webpack, esbuild, etc.) I just wish there was a buildDeps to avoid this confusion
It's not easy to compare them, to be fair.

I guess you could come up with a thousand example prompts and pay some students to pick which output is better, but I can also see why you wouldn't bother. It probably depends on language, type of prompt, etc.
>Remote attestation has a track record of being bypassed, unlike e.g. AES.

Those aren't comparable. One is a mechanism for protecting private keys and one is an algorithm that uses private keys.

As security of hardware matures we will be able to have implementations that successfully protect private keys without any software vulnerabilities.
I thank you are thinking of the promise of liberalism. Neoliberalism is too new to suggest it lead to the prosperity in history, and it’s hard to point to the society that embraced it that did well especially well with it. However classical liberalism was rooted in g-d. I think modern thinking is rooted in marxist religion

Freedom of speech meaning freedom from consequences has never existed, and will never exist.

Infringing on a company's freedom of association does not eliminate consequences for speech.

> For some reason this makes me feel depressed.

Or you can recognize "climate change" is a constant. That bit has been lost with the recent debate over climate science - far too many people view any change as a disaster.

We can look at this map and recognize vast dramatic changes occurred before humans were ever here.

Humans undeniably have an impact on climate change. That much isn't up for debate. What is up for debate is the exact extent human actions are actually influencing change vs. expediting a predetermined change vs. creating changes that would not have existed otherwise.

Poles have changed[1]... oceans come and go, land disappears then reappears. The earth is surprisingly constantly changing - just not on time scales humans normally contemplate.

A few years ago, I retrofitted my entire house with Lutron Caseta switches, for home automation purposes.

The Casetas allow me to soft-start each bulb, and to run lights at less than full brightness most of the time.

It would have been interesting to see the effect on incandescent bulb life, but I also took the opportunity to replace all light bulbs with dimmable LCD, so the question is moot.

Anecdotally, I’ve found most recommendation systems work best when you do not interact with like/dislike but instead simply play songs you like to seed your algorithm.

A few thoughts.

1. The lack of response is already an early form of feedback. Perhaps this isn't a pressing problem folks are looking for help with?

2. The thread you linked to is not very compelling in my opinion. There's no solution proposed, just a general problem statement, and even an admission that you could solve this with existing tooling. Not really a whole lot to engage with.

3. I've done my time in management, and have definitely seen the problem you're describing in the thread. It is not a tooling problem, but a process and people one. It is solved through conversations, expectation setting, and ongoing reinforcement.

4. > Where do I even find them?

That depends on the problem you're trying to solve, doesn't it? Respectfully, this is the hustle part of building a business. Understand your potential customers, find out where they hang out (HN, Reddit, LinkedIn, Facebook, Discord, Slack communities, random forums, email lists, industry events, etc), understand the norms of engaging with them (people tend to dislike thinly veiled commercial activity), contribute to the community, build relationships. Make some assumptions and come up with a strawman, a design, or a full-fledged MVP. When time comes to asking for feedback, I highly recommend The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick. It's a quick read that should help keep you on track.

Good luck!
Good analysis. It seems in the inauthentic case on the product page they are just linking “jane friedman” to a search page for that term. Wonder if there is a way of setting up a merchant account with just a label/DBA vs an extra step of claiming an author account.

Agreed it does seem like a bug.
>I finally got around to subscribing to YouTube Premium, and they already burned me once by raising prices.

The first burn is that you are paying them with money AND your data (which they now can link to your CC#). I'd be more than happy to pay for a service like YT to get it ad free as long as it doesn't harvest my data (for any damn purpose).
> I think the lower the dimensionality, the harder it is to align pieces.

First, you’re not talking about synthesis anymore. And if you try to grow a single crystal, how easy it is to get polycrystals from powder is not really relevant. Ease to synthesise and ease to assemble are very different things and both are controlled by different phenomena.

Also, again, not really. Graphene is quasi 2-dimensional and very easy to bunch up and form graphite, for example. Boron nitride, not that much.

> For 3D material you could probably just grind your impure sample down into a powder, isolate the grains that levitate, and press them back together.

You can do something like that (hot or cold pressing), but it still requires the right material to be synthesised in the first place. It works more or less well depending on chemistry and physical properties, not dimensionality.

Separating “grains that work” and “grains that don’t” is not something we really do when we create materials. It sounds more like QA in semiconductors than something we’d do in a lab.

> That wouldn't preserve structures in 2D though, let alone 1D.

Why not? If you grind a 2-D structure joint you just get flat grains. How well they assemble depends on their properties.

The whole discussion is not very productive: however truthy it sounds, dimensionality does not control how easy it is to synthesise a material. Apatites are very easy to make. Things like chalcogenide glasses are easy to make despite having a 1-dimensional structure at the atomic scale. There are many other examples. And, also again: it does not matter because apatites are fully 3-d structures, with linear elements if you squint and ignore how these elements are placed in the overall structure.

> Gemini is a reaction to bloated modern websites

Correction: it is an overreaction to bloated modern websites. Interesting in various ways. Artificial constraints in an era of gratuitous excess can be useful to trigger creativity but my sense is that the territory Gemini revisited is simply too well trodden. Not a particularly fertile ground to seed an alternative universe. Heraclitus said, "You cannot step into the same river twice, for other waters are continually flowing on."

Added thought: The vision of a lean web is more than valid, but it needs to add something new and exciting even while it subtracts a lot of useless bloat.

I've never seen any convincing argument that Bach is somehow, as frequently claimed, the epitome of baroque music. It seems to be a largely romantic sentiment, that arose moreso to Mendelssohn's circumstances than to anything unique in Bach's music— Mendelssohn simply did not have the access to many other high baroque composers' music to draw from. Aside from how surprisingly late he is, there are many comparable figures to Bach.

I am tired and will content myself with simply mentioning some early baroque composers that, for anyone curious, sadly do not get the spotlight they deserve: Ascanio Mayone (c.1565–1627), Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643), Tarquinio Merula (1595-1665), Johann Jacob Froberger (1616-1667), Giovanni Antonio Pandolfi (1624-1687), Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber (c.1644-1704).
