Can't really blame Valve here, the issue at hand is that Apple have deliberately choosen to shun games and believe that they can wall garden even the graphics stack.

When in reality it's just more cost for the studio to port over and debug.
That's true. If you don't use AI, others will. If that makes them profit, why would anyone not use it.

The whole system favors publication quantity over quality, results over process.

The solution is to ask our AI overlord.
There are plenty of posts in this thread that are misrepresenting the technology, in a few cases deliberately. If you feel strongly enough to comment, you owe it to yourself and the discussion to go to the source and understand what it's about - that's what I mean by that's your fault. You clearly understand enough to A) argue against biometrics over the wire and B) feel you can comment on Passkeys.

Most, if not all (I've not read every post) of the 'flaws' mentioned generally exist in computer security; for example, no one is impervious to a thug and a weapon. The implementation is as simple as generating a key pair; the private key is stored in a secure enclave, either on device or in a secure location, and the public key is shared with the 3rd party. All services provide some recovery method upfront, clearly stating the importance of a backup. There is only so much they can do before you accept the responsibility for managing your security and privacy online. Resorting to "won't someone think of the children" doesn't help either. My mother, who is 74, has no problem with passkeys.

Is it perfect? No. There are 'better' competing standards, but they don't have anywhere near the consensus of the broader security field. Is it better than the current status quo? Definitely. Public key cryptography is significantly better than username/password combinations, even with TOTP or HTOP second factors, though ultimately, it will be a while before they disappear.
Technically that's a subtly incompatible ABI change. ABI changes can be notoriously tricky to spot. That's handled properly on an ELF-based system by bumping the SONAME major (if the library developer knows what they're doing) but that won't help non-ELF platforms or vendored uses.

Of course, the same problem applies in other languages if a constant value changes. A preprocessor macros in C, for example. It's all about non-manifest interfaces and "making things easier" so that any idiot can write software (so they do). Public APIs can be hard when the public is imperfect.
I love the Leslie speaker and that's what I thought of at first (by the name) as well but upon closer inspection it really isn't very similar after all. Check the videos linked here in other comments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZKCxIuJ-5M to get an intimate understanding and then you'll see how it really is a linear actuator.
While true, scientific papers are written with an aim to be reasonably easy to parse. Turning scientific papers into literary works is likely to fail (novelty bits aside), same as it fails in business settings etc. We already have pretty streamlined language because people demand it in a lot of places - LLMs will accelerate that because it reduces the effort to get there.

> I don't know why that meme persists

That would be the large number of salient examples.

I expect humans to form a (possibly normal) distribution in this regard rather than being all of equal quality, and people on the high end would permit development even if the mean was worse than even the best current AI.

If we were however all clumped together, then the very same meme you're complaining about here would itself be an example of humans doing exactly what you're saying AI do.
Yeah I do, it's just a bit on the nose to see that it's someone actually in-this-moment looking through my emails. Not an algo doing a keyword scan, not a save-for-what-ifs. A person, looking through my emails. What makes this even more funny, is that these guys are the ones going "we're a family" and all that.

Yes, 16GB of ram is needed for 13B, 32GB for 34B (both for 4bit). The first time it loads a new models takes some warm up time, I wanna say 30s? After that, the context reading and token generation are usually upward of 8 tk/s. Also, the newer and bigger the die, the faster the token generation.

I think that was true at the time, but an absolutely awful take today in the context of AI.

If a submarine "could swim" it would not make it human. It would not challenge the beliefs of anyone.

But a whole lot of people have a whole lot of emotional baggage tied to the notion both that humans are exceptional, and/or that there is something special about humans that makes us more than mere machines. If computers can think, then we're not special, and it makes it far harder to continue believing we're more than squishy machines.

It's weird that some people including you directly attack my competence. As a power user you should have plenty of experience getting something to work that is not properly document, does not work how the documentation promised it to, or has weird problems on top of it. Look at idiotic things like this:

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/33044

Take any similar issue and you'll see a bunch of people who try to find a solution for them because they just aren't repeatable at all. The underlying issue is the auto configuration doing things you can't follow quite properly. It's like it wasn't mean to be understood. Issues like the one I linked above also show me that the spring dev crowd also doesn't understand the ecosystem anymore. The problem is complexity and automagic.

/e: this is what I mean in a nutshell https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37839306 and that will happen regardless of how much you "learnt" about spring boot ...
> But Uber really is an improvement on pre-Uber traditional taxi services, where you can call and not really be sure if or when a taxi will show up.

Not where I live. With a taxi, it was the usual confirmation "The taxi will be at your address in 15 minutes" or so, and it always was there. Once or twice I couldn't find it so I called them back and it turned out the driver was waiting at the other side of the building etc.

With Uber, Bolt, FreeNow and so on... First I wait for anybody to agree to accept the ride, and sometimes nobody does it. Then, a car arrives, with a person from Pakistan or Bangladesh, who sometimes doesn't even speak English. They use Google maps to navigate and if something is broken they are completely lost. I once asked the driver: "I'm waiting for my wife and kids, they will be here in half a minute, OK?" He said, "OK" and drove away.

Also, there were multiple reports of drivers running away after the accident and leaving the car and the victims as they are. The drivers are hired by middlemen owning the cars and exchanging multiple drivers in a car so you can never be sure who is driving. Most often they are not insured, and so on and so forth. Plus a few cases of rape in the last years. So I've been using taxis exclusively recently and only pick up Uber etc. when there is no alternative.
The company is all remote, so I think providing my own door is on me!
Not sure what you mean, if you know you have an actively exploited vulnerability then what more investigation would you need to do in a few hours?

This law only talks about actively exploited vulnerabilities, if you find a bug and go home for the weekend without fixing it that should be fine since that bug isn't actively exploited.

Edit: Point is, once you have done the investigation necessary to know that it is actively exploited you already have a ton of understanding about the problem. I don't see why you would need more than 24 hours at that point just to write a report to affected actors.
That's because it's not how it's used right now. Just like elsewhere, it's primarly used to generate bullsh*t and flood journals with low quality generated content. Which now need to deal with this deluge of sewage drowning good articles.

Amendment to the Act (2020:62) on Covert Data Surveillance
In the spirit of open, reproducible science, I think the prompts should appear in the final papers. Something like:

[Describe in two paragraphs how DNA synthesis works]

BLA BLA BLA
It becomes some robotic "AI generated text" pushed into some "AI text summariser" which in practice just introduces noise in the communication.

As a scientist, you should be aiming at communicating ideas in a pragmatic and verifiable way, not embellishing stuff via AI.

A real facepalm moment for scientists with wrong incentives.
imo scientific publishing was already ruined by lack of reproducibility for a lot of papers, even for software/machine learning-focused ones
There are mitigations for many vulnerabilities that don't involve the software being patched. For example, once you know a particular vulnerability exists, even if it's unpatched you can monitor for attempts against it, modify firewall rules and process monitoring to improve your awareness, etc.

> The Israelite accent is quite similar

You mean modern Hebrew speakers?
You can, but the problem is that warm water isn't that useful.

Unless your system can regularly heat up to >60C to kill legionella then it will need external heating.

Secondly, when the external temperatures are high there's very little need for warm water. Perhaps a few dozen litres for washing. No one is taking a hot bath on a summer's day!

If you have the space, you can store the hot water underground and then pump it back up in winter for heating. But that's expensive.
> I just want an IPv4/IPv6 proxy that does nothing other than delay, rate-limit, and/or drop packets.

About 15 years ago I needed to emulate a network over a satellite link. We had limited amount of time on the dish and it was a fairly costly affair. We had a small rack of hardware together with a bunch of measuring instruments that would be in the field for data acquisition. It would be sending back data home where it would be processed and then sent back into the field. The (limited) bandwidth reserved and the inherent latency on the link gave us some interesting issues to deal with, but it required a few iterations to get things working smoothly.

The rack had a Linux box which acted as a router (among other things), and while it was in the office we'd just hook it up via ethernet. So I used tc[0] on there to introduce a fixed latency on transmission and cap the outgoing bandwith to whatever was available on the link. I did the same on the homestation for outgoing traffic but there I just used an old box with two ethernet ports and set it up as a bridge.

For dropping packets I used iptables, and some other things.

It requires some familiarity with the LARTC[1], which isn't the most readable document, and how things work in Linux. It gave us exactly what we needed without having to pay for time on the dish for testing.

It's been over a decade and the details are extremely vague, but I'm sure that if you want to you could mark certain packets with netfilter and then delay those packets somehow, rather than just delay the entire network device. I remember that with iptables we used to mark packets from SSH in the mangle table and then use that mark with tc to give traffic marked priority on the outgoing device.

It's not exactly a proxy, but back in the day it worked for that specific use case.

I think you misinterpreted.

My point is that the output style of LLMs like chatGPT is not static. The 'default voice' uses fairly embellished language but there is nothing stopping a user from requesting a plain language output, such as what you would find in a US Navy manual (whose target audience is a huge cohort) .
Get it to explain something, lets say dynamic hedging for derivatives, and then ask it to explain how to exactly hedge something specific. Or describe some physical situation with a quirk and then let to derive the implications. Someone on HN had an example of asking to imagine entropy working in reverse in a cup of coffee with sugar dissolved. While it discussed sugar spontaneously forming crystals and other things, it never considered what the water would do, for example, let alone bigger issues such as if even the existence of water works etc.

Again, humans are often poor at these things, too, but if it had "mechanized" reasoning capabilities instead of "replicative" ones (i.e., just repeating stuff), I would expect it to do generally better.
Interestingly, others worry that the seasonal phenomenon of wind power is too large:

Yeah, of course. I did read my D&D Player Handbooks after all.
I'm not sure where you could use it. At least in the UK:

- water for heating your home is in a closed loop, and you wouldn't want to add this cooling to that closed loop as it would heat up your solar panels on cold days

- water for drinking/washing comes from the same cold feed, and you don't want to heat that up as you can't get cold water then

- bisecting the water supply into hot taps and cold taps, and running the hot one under the PV cells could work, but it would only flow the water when something is pulling water, e.g. running a tap, which might be a hindrance to cooling

There's a preamble to a later edition of one of Richard Dawkins's books, I believe it was the selfish gene but might have been the extended phenotype.

While I can relate to some AI anxiety[1], I can't help but read that same sentiment into a lot of the blowback.

> Either each car needs a driver or you need something to keep all the trailers precisely lined up.

A perhaps very stupid question, but why not make the cars self-driving the way we built self-driving robots from LEGO as kids? That is, line-following cars. It's effectively a virtual track - but I imagine painting a line or building it from cheap plastic would be cheaper than putting actual rail tracks in, and unlike generic driving automation, line-following is an old, well-understood and solved problem.
Can you say a bit more what you think was the factor?

-- more control of depth of field / shallower DoF ability?

-- faster shutter speeds?

-- less chromatic aberrations?

It doesn't intuitively feel like sharpness should be a factor -- even cheap kit lenses usually get that right.

Essentially it's an aggregator of file metadata from multiple sources. Accessing the local database can be a lot faster than accessing the data where it actually lives. It also allows for offline access if the device containing the files is temporarily removed. (Well, by access I mean previews and metadata.)

For example, I have a gigabit LAN with a Synology NAS, a server with a bunch of hard drives, and various networked machines. Gigabit LAN is pretty slow. Getting image previews of RAW photos on the NAS is insanely slow and frustrating. With something like SpaceDrive, you have basically instantaneous access to those previews, metadata, and Everything-like (the Windows application) search capabilities.

I'm really excited about it! I have files strewn about in so many places. Having access to them from a central location, with a single interface, not relying on a slow network, is really great. I might even go crazy and start to organize things with tags.

I think I get what you mean (in term of implementation), but can't we just alter the transfer function further so there are more values used for the mid-range colors?

The two-step process you said (the storage is non-linear and is then mapped onto a non-linear) is basically equivalent to a singular transfer function which is the combination of two curves, since the sampling process itself is lossy.

First of all, there is no way this works reliably for anything but the first hop. There is no way for a router to send a packet to you in a way where you can reply to that router unless you are connected directly to it, unless all ISP routers start being assigned public IP addresses. Additionally, there are normally many paths between you and your attacker, and there is no guarantee that packets you send will take the same path as the packets you were receiving. Especially as the routing rules get modified by your successful blocking requests.

That also means that every router now has to maintain a connection table to keep track of all of the pending confirmations, and to periodically check that table for expirations so it can clean it up. Maybe not that bad for a local router, but this is completely unworkable for routers handling larger parts of the internet.

And of course, anyone who has a tap into that level can trivially spoof all of the correct replies so it's still not a secure mechanism.
