I discovered this game at a board game convention earlier this year and quickly fell in love. After coming home and realizing it was fairly hard to get a copy these days, I decided to make my own web version of it so I could play with my friends. I also tried to implement a solver just to be able to check if the solutions we found were the best, but I didn't spend much time on it, and I never went past a breath first search that can really only check about 5 levels deep in a realistic amount of time. This might inspire me to revisit it and try to improve my solver. So thank you for posting this!
This is great. Just wanting to chime in that I am also a happy paying customer, and love seeing this kind of work from Kagi. Keep it up!

I would take the opposite side of that bet for most cities in the US.

> [...], because the speaker isn't capable of doing anything else.

Huh? Japanese people have the same vocal tracts as Germans who have the same vocal tracts as Egyptians. Just because someone's native languages don't have a particular sound or sound combination doesn't mean they can't learn.

That's especially true for sound combinations: a Turkish speaker might find a word that doesn't follow Turkish vowel harmony a bit weird, but would have no trouble pronouncing it even without any training.

And even if a particular speaker can't produce a certain word, they can still recognise it as a word when someone else uses it in the context of their language.

As an example, most English speakers I know can't pronounce 'kn' like in Germany 'Knie' or 'Knecht'. But I can say "Knie is German for knee." and that is a sentence of five words. Or "The Knesset is the unicameral legislature of Israel."

(Just to be clear, English has words like knee or knight that are spelled with kn, but the k is silent. If you ask English speaker to pronounce "Knie" the German way, they tend to introduce something like a Schwa between the k and the n sounds.)

See https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/151054/why-is-the-k-...

Sorry I thought it was obvious that I meant reverse engineering the closed source pieces of iMessage and auditing the open source bits. Source code just speeds up the process for vulnerability researchers, so Apple has a leg up in this regard.

"Are you claiming NSO has access to iMessage and iOS source code?"

The last NSO zero-click was in an open-source library reachable from iMessage. This vulnerability is likely no different considering it was in an image decoding library.

NSO group hires many talented security researchers who specialize in reverse engineering and auditing source code. It is hard for people not familiar with security research to understand but there are a lot of very talented code auditors out there who have honed the skill of picking up a new codebase, understanding it better than the developer who wrote it within months, and then finding bugs in it. There are teams of researchers at certain exploit shops who spend their lives focusing on understanding a single target.

Fuzzing is a great tool for finding bugs, but code auditing will always be the best way to find amazing bugs and novel attack surfaces. Researchers who can do both code auditing and fuzzing extremely well (like lokihardt@astr) are even rarer and extremely good because they can both find interesting pieces of code to fuzz through auditing and find amazing bugs while fuzzing.

Apple is and should continue hiring these talented researchers. The point I am making is that they should hire these security researchers even more aggressively and other tech companies should follow. Most of them work at exploit shops like NSO group because they pay a lot better than big tech. One security researcher and one security engineer to every five developers for these critical pieces of code should be the industry standard not 1 security engineer to every 100-1000 devs...

You need to be a little bit more lenient when comparing different languages. As far as I know, “cat” shared the same build pattern in many languages: guttural-a-dental

"But I was trained to do this because when I was a kid we had some lead pipes in our home, heh."

There were no lead water pipes in our home but lead pipes were used to couple gas meters to iron pipes presumably to make installation easier. What was worrying was that all the street water mains were made of asbestos cement.

Decades ago, when I first traveled to France to visit relatives I noticed that all the water plumbing in their home was lead.

When I commenced on it and the dangers they thought I was a little eccentric and commented that that was the norm in that area of Paris and no one had become sick from the lead pipes.

My only comment is that my French cousins who are roughly the same age as I am are much smarter than me. (Pb is supposed to dull the brains of kids so what went wrong here?)

This is cool. There is undeniable value in LLMs for inspiration. I think they really augment well the creative tasks.

LLMs are getting a bad rep for not acrediting the authors, but the everyone cannot possibly know about every other source of information.

If you think of LLMs as general corpus of human intelligence, and how they can be used for lateral-thinking, there is nothing quite like it.

already in my memory/experience (which is only a couple of years in this area): swift4TF and chisel (or FIRRTL or whatever). you can deflect and blame org charts or whatever but if you're gonna make the rounds on the talkshow/podcast circuit and take credit on the upside you gotta eat the blame on the downside.

i'm sure chris lattner is a great, smart, genius person. i'm sure everyone at modular is. i'm sure 100MM is a whole lot of runway to deliver. but they haven't delivered yet so their claims about being a superset and/or 35,000,000xxxxx perf gains are all (at least by me) taken with a grain of salt.

A DIY CA is pretty easy to airgap: keep it on hardware that isn't your daily driver and only has a minimal/secure OS with no network connectivity. Anything you have lying around can do it: like an outdated laptop or SBC.

Even just using a VM for the CA would likely be sufficient. Only fire it up for signing, then keep its storage encrypted. I do this on my Proxmox server.

This, to me, is worth it for local stuff. The trusted self CA certs are better than blindly trusting an invalid cert, and some browsers require trusted certs to autofills passwords.
Thank you! I wonder if this can be done with purely client-side storage, or if I have to implement user accounts and sessions.

Wow, this is extremely depressing.

Am I just crazy? Do others not wonder that if pigs and humans have remarkably similar biology, then this increases the chance that pigs and humans might also have similar mental features? (I'm not claiming we're equally intelligent, just that it's well known that pigs are [quite intelligent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig#Behavior):

> Pigs are highly intelligent animals,[64] on par with dogs,[65] and according to David DiSalvo's writing in Forbes, they are "widely considered the smartest domesticated animal in the world. Pigs have demonstrated the ability to move a cursor on a video screen with their snouts and understand what is happening onscreen, and have learned to distinguish between the scribbles they had seen before and those they were seeing for the first time."[66][a][70]

But forget about the capacity to process information. How do we expect to improve as a society, in terms of treating other humans in a non-disposable fashion, if we regularly treat animals in a disposable fashion, given that a standard tactic in feeling okay about mistreating humans involves reducing ("de-anthropomorphizing") humans (via comparisons, propaganda, statistics, etc.) to be like "other animals"?

Suppose aliens were to visit us one day, and sci-fi-magically were to give certain animals a voice and a say, and those animals advocated for giving humans what they got from them: putting humans on little islands, where they multiply, and then a few years later, animals/aliens/etc. come by to use them as transplant sources. Clearly, the chances of that happening are next to zero. However, equally clearly, if this were to happen, the fact that humanity is reduced to such a state would be horrific. Yet the animals are giving us tit-for-tat: does it only become horrific for party A, when party B is able to do the same in return?

Damn. My heart goes out to those pigs. Sleep peacefully, this world isn't a nice place anyway.

i dont think they were convinced they couldn't win - they just realized their economic laggardness.

For a real example of "they couldn't win", you'd have to look towards Japan. And is it such a bad thing to "not win"?

So far, the decriminalization of drug use in California has been a nightmare of human misery. Throwing psychedelics into the mix is going to make it even worse. It is a feeding a cycle of Mental Illness -> Drugs -> Homeless -> Drugs -> Mental Illness -> Homeless.
TLJ: from a technical film POV this movie was actually great. Strong cinematography, interesting twists in the script and overall good acting and pacing. The issue is that it was a very bad "star wars" movie. A lot of fans felt it didn't do the traditional Star Wars characters and story justice. I agree with both critics and fans.

TGS: It didn't win an oscar for best song, it was nominated. Regardless of that, best song is not usually considered a top category in the Oscar's from a film critic POV. That would be best movie, director, script, actor/actress.

Fuzzing is not a magic trick, in the same way as invariants are not, and unit tests are not, and debugging is not.

All these techniques have degrees of mastery, and if applied carefully, and in combination, can save you a lot of grief.

Dumb fuzzing will not get you anywhere, same as dumb unit testing, and dumb debugging.

In this case, iMessage is particularly well suited for some smart fuzzing because all the attack vectors seem to involve smallish malicious attachment files.
I'm not sure it makes much sense to worry about carriers for the war in Taiwan that everyone expects- their aircraft can use their airfields.

Peacetime armies are generally bad, but turnover tends to be high when the fighting starts, and the second or third set of generals is often much better.

The most important advantages China has are pretty overwhelming- a giant population, and they own the global supply chain for microchips and batteries, meaning they can replace smart munitions and systems while their opponents can't.

They also have the best setup for doing go it alone, vertical industrial production, much better than the US or Russia. They're fine in any scenario where they don't get totally blitzed in a week.

That would probably be the case for Indo-European languages, but it's way too easy to find counterexamples from outside of those languages. In Japanese it's "iie" (いいえ), in Finnish it's "ei", and the latter shares roots with other Uralic languages which probably have something similar.

I wouldn't be surprised if a whole bunch of African or Native American languages happened to have entirely unrelated words for "no", although I don't speak those.

>Where generative AI ingests copyrighted works in order to work and bases its output on it, then it is copyright infringement

This is an absurd standard. Is it copyright infringement when a human "ingests" copyrighted work and bases their output on it? Because that's commonly called inspiration and is how every artist creates their work - through experiencing other works and using that cumulative inspiration to form their own product.

Copyright infringement is already ridiculously restrictive as it is, this proposal not only fundamentally misunderstands how generative AI works but penalises AI for doing what humans do everyday.
