They allow people generating fake images to sign them so that people believe they are human-generated.

Oh, sorry. I meant "They allow independent sources of truth to do the meticulous work of validating the pedigree of creations, so that with their cryptographically-secured seal you can be confident a human originated the content and a human authenticated it. Only after such work is done would a work be cryptographically signed as authentic."

You know, just like you can always trust the presence of an SSL certificate means a site is who they say they are. /s

When looking at admissions rates across the entire university, women are less likely to be accepted than men. But when (in this example) you break that down into departments, every department favors women over men.

If every department favored women then the entire university would also favor women. Parity is guaranteed in that scenario. What happened in the Berkeley case is that not every department favored women, and women applied disproportionately to the departments with lower admissions rates (including some that didn't favor them), while men did the opposite.
You can't (practically) though, they all require internet activation and are very hard for a layperson to crack (if one isn't available for download)... they're effectively coasters unless deep skill and time are invested in the cracking (which is usually the case but maybe not always).

Is it even possible nowadays to be a generalist?

In science something similar happened. There was a time where some people knew pretty much in every science field, chemistry, physics, biology etc. but the amount of knowledge grew and it become impossible to know enough in every field.

Maybe game development isn't any different. You either become an expert in on field or your knowledge is to superficial to actually help.

Every single modern x86 chromebook has coreboot support.

That said: most if not all of them require some proprietary bits to initialize ram timings and to run the security coprocessors (Amd PSP, Intel ME).

Older intel based systems (like the Lenovo x200) have coreboot support that can work without the ME firmware (but still requiring the EC firmware).

This comment section is wild right now btw, no one is responding to the content, just the, i guess, misleading title.

The OS in the title is making a comparison to how page caches work. Relevant data is moved into the context the llm needs to answer chat questions. When it runs out of memory it moves a condensed, searchable version of the content to another data store. Its trying to solve the problem of relatively low max token limits.

I wonder if this makes it easier to run on small devices?
But that assumes that we've always lived in a "Truth" society where Truth was discoverable for a majority of content, and I'm not sure that was ever the case for more than like... 10% of the global population for more than a few decades. And it's not even clear to me that that was a net good for everyone involved in a practical sense.

A hundred years ago, even people in rich countries often had no simple way to verify the truth of anything. Even information local to them. Cut to 2000 and the scope of things you're expected to validate the truth of has expanded to wartime conditions in countries thousands of miles away, something that is often hard to discover the truth of in real time even if you're actively involved in the war there, and is often not fully discovered for decades or centuries after.

In my mind, optimistically, things are moving towards some people being more ok with just not having a hot take about something that they can't verify. Not to say people won't have unjustified opinions on things, but that folks will maybe revert to the sort of "that's happening over there, and maybe I don't need to know about it on a minute by minute basis" zone.
I'm not sure I would say your $14 doesn't go to the creators: they get paid per minute watched when the user has Premium. A while ago Lon Seidman published a video discussing his YouTube earnings, and he mentioned that Premium is actually much more remunerative for creators compared to traditional ads.
So we're living in a "truth" society now or in the near past? How silly. For most of human history people believed things to be true based on the words of soemone they trust (clergy, teacher, village chief,etc..). People are just doing that using the internet now.

There was a brief few decades where TV and radio changed society so that everyone thought what's on TV was what everyone else outside their circle believed, this media centric truth seeking is what is going away.

A lot of people have crazy beliefs these days because the politicization of institutions that used to be far less polarized historically. This i ncludes academia,religion and the press. If someone lives, believes and acts in total contradiction of how you live, believe and act then the only way to accept their claims of fact is to be an expert in that field just as qualified as them and find out for yourself but most people can't do that so they turn to someone closer to their world views and life styles.

This isn't post-truth but the decentralization and segregation of trust at all aspects of society, because people are tribal and targeted ads make a lot of money.
Microsoft's project Silica: Is glass the future of long term storage?
That's where I was saying in the case of insufficient capacity, the available capacity is divided among the priorities in non-equal but non-zero portions. The SLO/deadline method effectively would be doing something similar as everything would be overdue and the most overdue get highest priority to run. The only difference is that the there's no unequal portioning unless there's additional logic to say x overdue of job A is more important than x overdue of job B, which amounts to setting priorities in the end.
There is no direct replacement for Labview, which saddens me.

But the writing has been on the wall since the 2013 Mac Pro. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that that was when VISA and NI-DAQmx Mac support started getting flakey.

Without the ability to use “big boy”[1] first-party DAQ hardware from NI, I’m sure the business justification for Labview on Mac is nonexistent. And needing to constantly keep up with Apple’s API-breaking changes certainly can’t help.

The 2019 and 2023 Mac Pro feel like an attempt to win back or keep niche partners like NI on Mac, but the value prop just isn’t there for someone looking to set up a daq/control box.

[1] USB DAQ is great for many use cases, but sometimes you just need the latency that PCI(e) provides. Even the ancient ISA-behind-PCI DAQ hardware had better latency (and other specs!) than USB devices.
But South of the Antonine Wall.

Hadrian's gets all the recognition, and that's probably mostly because it is still recognisable, but the Romans built a second wall 20 years later, just to the north of where Glasgow and Edinburgh are now - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonine_Wall

It was built mostly of turf and wood, so time has erased it much more completely, and apparently they retreated back to Hadrian's wall after only a few years.
Coincidentally, just earlier today I was looking for one-time-use prepaid cards. I thought I'd buy a few $100 worth cards and use them for pseudo-anonymous transactions. However, all I could find were prepaid "debit cards" (which could be easily tied back to be) our store specific "gift" cards.

Curious to see if anyone has a good solution for that? (In the US.)
The conversation is hard because we’re thinking about being able to copy and distribute an old game… and some authors will be thinking about not losing rights to their original characters, music, story, etc.

… so maybe it would be useful to have a law that protects the preservation of old media, allowing the public to legally break DRM, copy distribute and shift it to new platforms after a number of years… without necessarily granting rights to economic exploitation of the characters, story, etc. or making new derivative works.
I'm not sure about the last assertion. How would you even compare them? It is easier to deploy newer algorithms (software) than hardware.
ChatGPT could fool a lot of people already. Unless you’re looking to probe and check it’s an AI you probably won’t detect it over a chat session, especially with the right prompt giving it a background, context and the right speech/chat patterns.
I don't understand the fear—we have always lived in a society where truth exists in terms of degrees of certainty, and virtually any statement about the world can only be true with less than perfect certainty. Vagueness and ambiguity, floating signifiers, and the difficult-to-articulate impact of connotation ensure that we live in a state of constant uncertainty.

And, of course, there are always self-motivated incentives to directly mislead people about the world. If we really want to minimize the uncertainty that comes with relaying statements about the world around us to each other, we need to minimize the personal gain that can come from obscuring reality from each other. As I see it, this is inherently at-odds with the inherently narcissistic nature of market economics—there's nothing inherently special about that but being the primary mechanism of power in this world.

Humans are weird.

It's wild to me how sentimental people can get about a tree or incensed by, say, someone kicking a dog (neither of which are good, for the record) yet be completely indifferent to completely preventable human suffering. Worse, that suffering is often painted as a moral failure by those who are suffering, almost like they deserve it. They can even cheer it on.

I will never not find that bizarre. And sad.
saying "Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?" is actually hinting at the correct answer; should be worded more neutrally, simply giving the choice to stay or switch.
Humans perform terribly at exponential estimation. Many AI scientists and researchers are now saying AGI will be within our lifetimes and some are saying within a few years.

If that happens, lifelike robotics will be one of the lesser achievements.

If your opinion is that we will not achieve AGI, then I would say your outlook is probably consistent.
Generative AI makes it easier to further weaponize, so I would say mid-2010's was the entry (key issues). Now we're about to see it happen everywhere even in places we "thought was safe" (mass market).
My initial reaction when reading the title was the same. Their abstract does a better job at explaining what they actually do, and where the connection with an OS comes in:

> To enable using context beyond limited context windows, we propose virtual context management, a technique drawing inspiration from hierarchical memory systems in traditional operating systems that provide the appearance of large memory resources through data movement between fast and slow memory.
I've got an inkling this will be the subject of a youtube video.

This does remind me of when thinkgeek started selling brand new in box dreamcasts. Years after that got discontinued.
> We are never going to know what is real anymore.

Yeah, except for all those aliens who actually go outside and see for themselves, or ask people who have been there. You know, like most of humanity would do. :D

I get the article's premise but it sounds like a non-issue midterm. A lot of people go through increased financial hardship currently, and their interest in news is waning so the whole thing kind of balances itself out: more manipulated online material, less engagement from people. I'd think the latter factor will prevail because the manipulated material is put online to achieve a goal (usually a financial one) and if that goal is not achieved then the manipulators will start losing interest -- eventually.

Though I am really curious to see how will the whole thing unfold in reality. Obviously I am not claiming I can predict the future.

everything? they've solved reinforcement learning? they can handle continuous domains, like robot motion? that's funny, I thought they could only handle sequences of tokens.*

yes, they're exciting, and they are the most general architecture we've found so far, but there are important problems in AI (like anything continuous), that they're really not suited for.

I think there's better architectures out there for many tasks, and I'm a little dismayed that everyone seems to be cargo-culting the GPT architecture rather than taking the lessons for transformers and experimenting with more specialized algorithms.

*btw they don't need quantized tokens, there's no reason they can't just work on continuous vectors directly, and they don't have to be causal or limited to one sequence, but "transformer" seems to mean GPT in everyone's mind, and even though the original transformer was an encoder-decoder model we rarely seem to see those these days for some reason.
As an interesting contrast, I work on a WPF app professionally that has been around for sure since .NET 3.5 (with references to .NET 2.0 DLL's at times) - at least 12 years - and as much as we give MS crap for abandoning WPF, I can still crank the project open in the latest Visual Studio, probably transparently upgrade to .NET 6 - and everything just works. There are a lot of advantages to web-based frontends but sometimes I think desktop apps are underrated from a stability perspective.

That never works in practice. Specialists want to do the thing they specialize in. What happens when you have a bug that bridges across multiple areas of the code? Nobody wants to deal with those bugs because it would mean leaving their area of expertise. This also applies to anything that applies to the game as a whole, like optimization or look and feel.
The front end is where the greatest leverage to control user behavior is. Therefore, demand to add features there is also the strongest.

Recall that what got investors excited about the Web in the 90's was inline images. They didn't respond to hypertext, but they were looking for a next thing after "multimedia" and saw opportunities. Next thing you know, they were writing thought-leader articles about "push content", imagining the TV-ification of the Web.
It's nice to make works that no longer have commercial value enter the public domain by default.

Another justification: if the harms increase for giving an author exclusivity for a longer time, society should demand a larger payback. This may only be justified for the most prominent works

It feels a little out of calibration. How about free for 20 years; $500 for 10 more, and then 100x for every 10 additional years. Everyone gets 30 years to exploit a work for a reasonable price, and then the price ramps steeply so that very few works are registered beyond 40 years.

A tiny proportion of works will be worth the $50k step, let alone the $5M one. Even Disney will not pay $5M for most things.

And, of course, things that are forgotten or devoid of commercial value will lapse at 20.
That's still a good price. I found a similar thing in Spain for the staple drink of coffee was e1-e1.50 everywhere you went in the Valencia region, didn't matter if high-so or not, arty farty restaurant or workmans cafe, if you wanted a black coffee with a little biscuit on the side it would be under $2 anywhere you went.
Not sure about game development, but it sounds like a specialist programmer could become a dabbling audio engineer or narrative writer if given the opportunity, or vice versa. Might be a management problem: on a team of ten, you can grab the writer (singular) for coffee and spend a couple of days designing and writing dialogue for a side quest yourself, but on a team of hundreds it must be a lot harder.

And then, once you've spend that time using the tools, you can refactor the SpeechOptionNode to incorporate skill checks without attaching a script, or whatever other obscure tooling problems the writers are dealing with.
So many questions. Is the update pre-loaded on the "pad" that activates the software update protocol?

If not, then does the pad setup a WiFi connection to the store to remotely download it and then install?

Seems like another attack vector for NSO to exploit and add to their arsenal of government oriented spyware.

cultural hegemony but with AI
Indeed, very true. I am fortunate to have been able to teach myself web development from cafes & libraries while sleeping in a tent (cumulatively, for about 1.5 years).

Now in my mid-30's I have about $60k to my name. It'll whittle down to $50k in about 6 months ($2k/mo burn rate for rent + expenses). I have faith that I will land consulting clients or a full time job by then, and can continue saving up to $100k - $150k to buy with as much cash as possible (I hate debt).

I am looking into buying cheap property, simply to camp on it & store my stuff in a shipping container.

Looking forward to falling asleep to the sounds of bugs & nature, and waking up to birds visiting my tent and chirping at me. And at long last, I won't get kicked off private/public property.
My gripe is that, if a robot does something, it is not post truth, it is actual, real, truth. We should not confuse discourse on truth with discourse on identity.

People have to live in and around those places. Concrete monstrosities make that less pleasant. Brutalist architecture (for the most part, I know there are a few exceptions but they are exceptions) feels impersonal, oppressive, monolithic. It also for the most part feels and looks drab, as the materials dull and stain, and make everything a sad grey-beige. It's the stuff of dystopia. It's the human spirit being relentlessly ground under the weight of impersonal mediocrity.

The whole ethos of 'form follows function' is oxymoronic - making people feel good, making spaces warm, welcoming, decorative, these are all part of 'function'.

So yes, lets tear down the brutalist crap. However well-meaning its proponents were, it's been a failure and it's time to move on.

Thank you for posting Omnigres on HN!

Just a quick note to the readers: we're still in the early days, in a pre-release mode. A lot of things work, but not everything is there yet and there are some bugs (we know some for sure!). A lot to come as we progress: first-class Python support, CLI, schema & package management, etc.

Our initial users are using it with our support and our timeline is sometimes advised by their milestones.

That said, happy to see you try it out and please join our Discord (https://discord.omnigr.es/) if you want to chat.
I’m guessing the pad hooks up to something like an iPad, and the “update pad” has a Secure Enclave of its own. So probably end to end physical security there
You’re probably thinking of a traditional OS. This could be an interesting project though.

Maybe an attacker triggers this protocol not to install a malicious update but to bypass FaceID/PIN/TouchID and then they can add whatever spyware they want.

- Trigger update via "special pad"

- Interrupt update process to get access to phone

- Wirelessly transmit spyware onto target's phone
This also explains the declining gameplay and immersion of many (most?) games. The art and the gameplay are simply not synced to each other, so they feel separate and disjoint. For example, the environment having similarly looking but differently behaving objects like rocks.

Or how instead of designing emergent systems, most games just slap modifiers on everything and "balance" that way. +20% bow reload speed and +25% speed, anyone?
Thanks for checking out our work! Yeah, great point, this is even more critical in those scenarios when you have very limited memory. You can play around with different context sizes using the code on GitHub: https://github.com/cpacker/MemGPT/blob/main/memgpt/constants...
Not anymore, but I would have put up with the security risks 5-8 years ago when jailbreaking my phone let me do a whole host of things I couldn’t otherwise, the chief of which was to be able to use my phone as a hotspot which my previous plan didn’t allow (since I had the grandfathered plan with truly unlimited data in the age of 2GB data limits).
What's the meaning of "further" weaponizing something that has already been weaponized?
Naive to think you won’t have a compromised software stack on your replicant.
