Is censorship of LLMs even possible? [pdf]
It's more doable on NixOS than on most distros, but the real problem is you're trying to run out-of-tree code. The world isn't going to stop for you (or for all the android devices) so it becomes mainline or GTFO. On reflection I think this is a good thing, despite it meaning I can't play with nvidia things. AMD APUs are good enough these days.

This week, I activated a free trial account on Azure Portal, mostly because I wanted to test some RDP things with my Chromebook.

I picked up a public IPv4 address for free. I first tried to go to an IPv6-only stack, but I realized how impossible that is when cloud services, especially their APIs, are mired in the 90s, and can't accommodate hosts that don't respond on IPv4.

So I was able to get some semblance of IPv6 working with a pre-assigned ULA address range (I think it was a /48). But there's no public IPv6 to be had. Apparently, free trial accounts aren't eligible for them, but there's no clear-cut error message, it's just...whatever options I choose, I receive provisioning errors. I only deployed a single VM. With no public IPv6, it defeats the purpose of even trying to use the protocol.

So why does a leading cloud service make it so, so difficult to work with IPv6? It's very discouraging.
If you happen to remember any of those, drop her a line. I'm pretty sure Deirdre's fairly meticulous about that sort of thing.
Precisely. Can also apply to tax credits. Luckily since the tax credit war race to the bottom ran out of steam this nonsense has been far less prominent, but for a long time many of the game studios in Montreal were dependent on this sort of thing.

I regarded many of these subsidies as killing the business dead before it had even started, but missed that if you can keep it going for two years at least the managers escape with some decent money.
How do you configure and install low level hardware drivers? Aren't these different on both systems? And wouldn't proprietary drivers rely on hardcoded versions of libc, for example, causing a dependency hell?
that overcapacity is built on credit to developers and home buyers. Most of these loans extimate a bubble level price of decades of earnings of average household (should be 2-5 times your income), justified by the old speculative rush to flip the property to the next speculator few years down the line. The toy is broken and a lot of families cant even afford the interest on the loan. Banks and regulators are freaking out. Developers are also overleveraged, sold a lot of offplans properties that the bank cant even seize bcs these projects never got built/finished.
A phone costs hundreds of dollars. A Raspberry Pi costs $50 and does the job 100x better.
(Not OP) cp to copy the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file, and nixos-rebuild to build the system defined in the file on the new machine.
Whatever good journalists do in holding governments and corporations accountable does not absolve them of their responsibility to link to their sources.
good on you (or anyone) having a clean and efficient process on Arch - but really, this is not the same YMMV for everyone with all software stacks. can someone whose entire worklife came to a halt gradually over weeks on Arch, please add here?
I find the contortions needed to do base 2 with my fingers too cumbersome. On the other hand, base 6 is really easy. Each hand only needs to do the usual 0-1-2-3-4-5 arrangement and you get to count from 0 to 35(6^2-1).
But it’s missing a key piece of information: the paper was investigating allegations against the newly-hired police chief who was in charge of the raid.
What? Nobody is saying that decentralized systems can't have centralized backups, or that you can't have a hybrid system. Your whole comment is predicated on a false dichotomy.
I cannot provide a citation for my evidence.

Your citation shows the clear trend, however. Swift usage is only increasing, and Objective-C is discouraged (not deprecated, discouraged) for new projects.
I don't have unlimited resources. I work to keep my family afloat. I don't let my kids be on the iPad so I can get on with work.

It's not a practical solution, it's an _easy_ solution. I'm sorry the article makes you feel like a bad parent, but don't go into denial mode to make yourself feel better about what you're doing.

An insane amount of money, world hegemony, and a very high standard of living. I’m not sure the average European appreciates just how comfortable life in the US is. And the average American doesn’t know that things they take fir granted are luxuries even to Western Europeans. Outside of a handful of small countries with specialized economies, European income per capita is at or below per capita income in even the poorest US state. Even the vast majority of poor people here have iPhones and cars and can afford to run their air conditioners at 68F all day.

I registered a domain, paid for word press hosting, learned the set up and started writing my travel journal there. The photos display in full HD without ads.

But most family and friends forget to visit it, because Facebook is not promoting my website.
Indeed. Presenting the bull immediately creates a visual mythos w/ assumptions of some Herculean efforts.

“Dad, I wrecked the car” is much more likely to be answered [non-verbally] with regrets about not paying for contraception.
I agree that I don't like it but can anything with the support of the plurality if americans by definition be anti-american? Maybe anti-democratic since the proper way is a constitutional amendment, but even that is a stretch since by 2012 three election cycles tolerated compromising liberty for security and justified violating the constitution because of national security, and snowden's leak on an election year wasn't used by republicans in their effort to retake congress or by trump when he ran against hillary. It can be argued that as unfortunate as it is, the apathy if the american people and their disproportional fear of terrorism that resulted in the NSA's surveillance was very much democratic and american.

Keep in mind that this same democracy and sentiment had led to japanese internment camps in WW2 and even worse in other situations.

I have a feeling history will rule in favor of snowden but I just wish he moved to a country not hostile to the US. Especially these days when Russians themselves are fleeing Russia, it's hard to defend Snowden. His Moscow relationship undermined whatever intention he had to bring change to the NSA.

The bigger problem is that he was trying to change a symptom, while ignoring the disease, that is the sentiment of the american people. I fear it would take the abuse of the NSA's powers against the american people at scale by some tyrant to fix the root cause.
LLM Guard: An Open-Source Toolkit for Secure LLM Adoption at Scale
If you use both git and Emacs but not magit, you're missing out. It's so good that it makes me keep Emacs open even when I'm using another editor or an IDE. These days pretty much everything has basic git integration, but few interfaces can match magit at doing non-trivial operations conveniently. With magit, it only takes a few keystrokes to selectively commit some changed lines, reword a past commit, do an interactive rebase, or use the reflog.
Hey community,

As passionate believers in the open-source movement and the incredible potential of LLMs (Large Language Models), our team is ecstatic to unveil *LLM Guard*. Here's why we think you'll love it:

- *Data Leakage Detection*: Yep, we've tackled it.
- *Input Protection*: No more sleepless nights.
- *Output Evaluation*: Making sure the AI behaves.
- ... and we've got an arsenal of more security controls launching soon.

Whether you're a fan of ChatGPT, are exploring the possibilities with Claude, Bard, or any other foundation model, LLM Guard is designed to be your trusty sidekick. Our vision is clear: Open-source is the way to democratize the benefits of LLMs, from PII redaction to automatic policy enforcement.

And because we know the collective knowledge of this community is unparalleled, we're here to learn from you. If you're diving deep into AI, interested in beefing up your AI's security measures, or simply have some thoughts on our project, let's discuss in the comments!

Lastly, if our mission resonates with you, we'd be honored if you check out our repository. Giving us a star or a follow means the world to us. It's more than just a validation, it's a testament to the fact that we're on the right path. Together, let's ensure AI security is never an afterthought!
Trotskyists were common, and hence, it was a common position -- I didn't say universal. I'm not even a Marxist/communist, never mind some scholar of sectarian subgroups, but that's just one popular example among many.
Idk much about the situation but in a few of that guys posts he made prior to being raided he talked about sniping potusa from afar with time, place in mind, pictures of him with rifles, and threats to answer FBI with guns. Afaik obese scooter bound people can still aim a rifle from afar. He basically provoked a situation and was treated as credible threat based on his own actions.
I used to collect KMFDM and Laibach albums, which was about the same thing, art-wise.

Probably contained less lead and carcinogens.

I also really like the instructor for this course!

Seems like he really cares. I looked him up and I guess he was a student of Andrew Ng (the legendary ML lecturer!!) so it makes sense.
I dug some old computers out of the attic recently. The one that had not been updated since 2021 only took around half an hour to get up to speed, and that was with a metric ton of packages installed.

The other one seemed to have been updated last time in 2015. It didn't even have updated certificates for https, so it couldn't sync the keyring. After trying for a while I just gave up and reinstalled Arch from a USB stick.
I use arch and update sporadically and this hasn't really failed me:

sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring && sudo pacman -Syu

There were two times something went wrong:

- when Arch moved plymouth to their main repos

- when switching from a 1070 to a 4070 I needed to recompile my nvidia drivers
>RAII lock wrappers

You don't even need coroutines for this to be dangerous. Holding locks over callback invocations is a pet peeve of mine in PR reviews. Callback invocations, like suspension points, can inject arbitrary operations into our code, which can easily break prior invariants, yet look innocuous for the casual reader.
> Because if I was lucky enough to stumble upon some great hack to make lots of money, why would I be telling people about it?

People like explaining things to other people. They like sharing knowledge, they like having other people pay attention to and listen to the knowledge they share. I am pretty convinced that it's an evolutionary adaptation that we feel a compulsion to explain and share interesting things we've learned.

Your logic probably overcomes this built-in tendency for sharing things when the alpha is very directly tied to one's success. So, for example, a hedge fund manager isn't sharing their trading strategies.

But if an executive is explaining how OKRs worked for them, or an engineer is saying typescript was a big help, our first instinct shouldn't be to assume it's a psyop. Those things are not the singular competitive advantage of a company, success is usually the aggregate result of many different things.
Has anyone managed to find a reasonable way to make an old android phone into a server in a reasonably practical/maintainable way? Even if it is plugged in all the time?
Just like you read the classics in literature, I think it would be interesting to read some of the classic codebases. They should fit the following criteria:

- The project was highly successful or influential

- Freely available source code

- Ideally the bulk of the project was written by one person

So far my list includes Linux, the John Carmack id releases (wolf3d, DOOM, Quake), SQLite, and vim. Any others I'm missing?
Months to years to restore infrastructure, Oregon will look very different afterwards.
Yeah how about letting me disable phantom breaking or lane assist permanently…
> people throwing the most vulnerable under the bus to avoid slight inconveniences like wearing a mask.

That's one variable. I suspect another is ~revenge, for past transgressions, real or imagined.

As the saying goes: "As ye sow, so shall ye reap", and while sayings like this (there are many) is obviously speculative, I suspect there's a lot of truth to it.

> Regardless, the opposite of this "technocracy" is leaving specialized agencies in the hands of utterly unprepared people, career politicians, businesspeople and lawyers, instead of scientists and engineers. That is just madness.

An alternate approach is that we could collectively pursue optimality, regardless of whether that is outside the current Overton Window of behavior. No obligation, but it is an option if things ever get really bad.

This is what so called democracy is advertised as doing, but I suspect that advertising is rather false.
This is a non sequitur, which is ironic, given the rant.

For one, there are entire disciplines about ethics and philosophy of science.

Also, the number of scientists that have been legitimized outside their area of expertise, in the context of public discourse, is orders of magnitude lower than pretty much in any other career.
I calculated it using ∑{r=0 => 10}(10Cr) which is a bit of an overkill
Yeah it feels like microservices is very hard on SREs.
"Car accident, I'm okay" is shorter and less vague.
In general these things are not actually trade offs. The amount of weight required to use an M.2 SSD or SODIMMs instead of soldering them is only a couple of grams, for example. It has no perceptible effect on any of the things you care about.

It might, however, save the company a few cents per unit. At the cost of making the device unupgradable -- which lowers your resale value even if you never do it. So they cost you dozens to hundreds of dollars so they can save a few cents. That's customer-hostile.

And, of course, the other reason they do it is to make the device unupgradable, so you have to buy another one sooner. Which is downright malicious.
I watched the video. It is quite informative. The best thing about emacs videos are they creator is that all the keycommands show on the screen by default. Arguably one of the slickest features in emacs.
It'll move to a different country, or its authors will be hounded down by the United States and gigantic corporations.

Working for Sony, UMG, Netflix, any media distribution group, is, as far as I'm concerned, evil. You actively work to make human existence worse. I'd have a word for their lawyers, but I'm sure they're busy being paid hundred of thousands to be sacks of shit.
You could maybe switch to a block cursor when you’re in visual mode with

let &t_SI = "\e[6 q" and

let &t_EI = "\e[2 q"

I would imagine that a small VPS would be fine, so long as you were on top of the data storage. I'm running a single user Masto instance on an NUC. i5, 8GB RAM that I bought for £65. I'm not exactly sure my home upload speeds, but they can't be huge.

It's currently using 6GB of storage on media. It is currently set to autodelete, but I assume could grow quite a bit.

I can't say Icve noticed any performance issues, however, I suspect I'm a lighter user.
> Microsoft's Surface tablets and laptops rely on Windows.

Seems a bit contrary to your opinion that one product can be both PRO and anti-consumer, no?
They really haven't been merged in a meaningful sense; the PC gaming market is predominantly focused around other stores than the MS store, particularly Steam, and Xbox can't/won't have anything to do with that.
Already with that response you have proved not to understand the Android ecosystem.

No it doesn't have an amazing backwards compatibility, specially depending on what is cool in one Google IO, and already legacy in the new one, without replacement, like e.g. Tango, Sceneform, Fragments.

There are policy rules how old an Android app is allowed to be in Play Store.
"without schemas". How do you define the types that you have to submit on the client and server calls?
How exceptional is the US, compared to other countries?

Many other developed nations had better outcomes with stricter measures, and here you are, arguing that it doesn't matter because, whatever?
> What it would have done was taken the reproduction number below 1, making contact tracing effective.

This assumes that most people in the society are not very privacy-conscious, i.e. are fine with being tracked (contact tracing).
That’s surely a factor for remote work in particular, but we must also ask why engineering orgs that embrace globally distributed sites & happily span SF, SEA, and NYC allow for so few seats in places like Chicago, the Triangle, or the Sun Belt. It’s cheaper & the collaboration setup is no different!
I remember learning that when they started testing atomic bombs (I think?) the nuclear debris in the air spread basically throughout the whole united states and the government tried to keep quiet about it. Something similar will probably happen here if they mess up with the launch.

Btw, the video I saw was on Veritasium.
Tijuana's illegal sewer hookups linked to cross-border pollution
AI (potentially) makes everyone more powerful. It will provide amazing benefits, but it will also amplify and empower bad actors. An AI that is superintelligent could (just for example) give instructions for (or even orchestrate) the creation of a deadly pathogen that targets only a specific race...

But most of the arguments aren't about bad actors. The basic mechanisms of AI give rise to a bunch of behaviors that are problematic with weak AIs and possibly extinction-level with super AIs. This isn't behavior that we just suppose they might have, given common-sense understanding of mammal psychology. This is behavior we've observed in many, many systems, that is a consequence of how AI works.

For example:

- AI seeks what you reward it for (i.e., what it "wants"), which is often exactly what you said vs. what you really meant.

- AI is incentivized to prevent you from turning it off, or from updating (fine-tuning, correcting) its reward function.

- A sufficiently smart AI will deceive you into believing it's doing what you want if it knows that you'd stop it before it gets what it wants.

- A sufficiently smart AI could modify its own code, or create sub-agents to get around safety measures that prevent it from reaching certain "better" solutions.

- Etc, etc. These are really interesting videos explaining the different issues: https://www.youtube.com/c/robertmilesai

The list above is based upon provable behavior given the current mechanisms in AI. The only thing that makes this a future problem is that we don't currently have AI systems that are as smart or smarter than us. The history of AI research is notable in that estimates about the pace of progress have been all over the map. No one really knows how many more discoveries or refinements are required before AGI becomes possible.

Once they get many times smarter/quicker than us, we need to be sure AIs are built NOT to want to do these things, because we're unlikely to be able to outsmart them.

Maybe not, but interviewing often is.
Transaction Log isn’t easy to reverse to raw SQL, it’s a binary log. I also don’t think it has meta information like timestamp or source.
How many people's first experience of computers is a small Slackware setup without X? This thread is hilarious.
This is a misconception, it isn't. It's extraterritorial-ish, meaning that the host country temporarily and revocably confers the privilege for that area to be under different laws. It's revocable at any time with sufficient notice, and it stays sovereign soil of the original country.
Millions of people won’t want to host a website from their phone, simply because millions of people are no longer used to navigating to obscure third-party websites. They don’t do it themselves much, and they don’t expect their peers to do it.

The internet activity of younger generations today is increasingly centered around use of only a handful of websites, mostly provided through dedicated phone apps. Unless a person’s own website gets promoted by a social-media site’s algorithm, or comes up at the top of a Google search, no one is going to visit that URL.
You hire useless people and pay them bloated salaries using investors' money. Then they order something from a consulting firm ran by your wife, or just remember the favor, and hire you into an overpaid useless role next time they secure a round.

On paper it looks like money is being spent on product development. In practice, it's a network of friends using buzzwords to direct VC money into their pockets.

Investors don't mind it too much. Fund managers are not investing their own money either (and are part of the game) and angels hope that a chance of owning 1% of the next Uber justifies all the financial shenanigans.

Even without qualified immunity, the police in question would not face any charges, as they have no duty to protect anyone from anything.
The argument is that control can't be taken away from you, I suppose. I argue in another comment[0] that peer-caching could mitigate unreliability, but that still leaves the question of how you maintain ownership if other entities are allowed to serve it on your behalf. Is it possible to make yourself reliably globally routable without trusting a third party, or needing their permission?

Ah, Texas, the place where every fetus is protected until they are born.
This is a good, if very minimal, start. The cost of a college education is utterly absurd and the fault lies primarily with the administrators (and the people whose duty is to oversee them).

This is also adjacent to my views around student debt relief. I will never support any student debt relief that doesn't hold schools accountable for producing huge numbers of graduates with economically useless training. Schools need to be saddled with a large share of that liability, not just taxpayers.
HTTP is different than SMTP or NNTP. A phone could work as a nice personal mailhost, if power management issues could be solved.
