Synology NAS DSM Account Takeover: When Random Is Not Secure
Much like victims of other natural disasters, there's an initial "oh shit this is huge" which eventually mellows out to "oh so this is just the new normal, and we're all just going to accept that we're going to be collectively even stupider."
You don't need to disable the system in a technical sense, you just need to persuade management/ownership that it might be a good idea to take the hint.
From Switzerland too. In France and Ireland I also saw these self-checkouts. In Ireland I even could use one, and to my surprise it worked out fine.
And, this is news?

Companies' core value is "make money fast and repeatable".

Anything else is just window dressing to get employees to work for you and get customers to buy from you. And as companies hit the top of the sigmoid curve, they will crank every lever to extract smaller amounts of profit, while cannibalizing what made them special (hello enshittification).

Frasier does not disdain or dislike KACL in any way. He could go into private practice anytime and does so briefly. Frasier quite enjoys being a local celebrity.

If anything, Niles is the one who envies his brother, however mildly; despite his jokes about Frasier's "fast-food" psychiatry, Niles sometimes admits to envying how his brother is well-known, and that he helps many people over the air while Niles's own work is anonymous to the public.

I don't know where this idea that Frasier is a snob comes from. A "snob", to me, is someone who looks down upon those he views as his lessers; views them as fundamentally different and forever unable to achieve his own far greater status. Frasier never once acts as a snob to his uneducated father. He never shows anything but respect for Daphne despite being the product of a family from the bottom of Manchester, and never says or implies that she would in any way be unfit for Niles (Niles's own marital status conflicting with his lust is a different story).

Frasier sometimes gets irritated by Martin's habits, or failure to appreciate the same things as his sons. He sometimes gets irritated (but more often amused/bemused) by a rambling or bizarre story from Daphne. But if such is the definition of snobbery then we are all snobs. To put another way, we are all snobbish about some things (and the Crane brothers have more things on their own lists than most people), but only snobs believe that such things make them inherently better than others.
One missile going into space will trigger every single ICBM warning system on the planet.

Most of the world's great powers don't need to fire a missile into space to take out a satellite. They've already lifted that capability into orbit.

I don't believe any of those powers would take out satellites willy nilly. I think it would take open direct military conflict. At the same time though, I didn't believe any of them would 'cross the Rubicon' with respect to undersea pipelines and internet cables either without direct open military conflict.

So, yeah.

Gonna be fun times in the future I guess?

React-native-vecel-AI: React Native package to run `npx I AI`on mobile and web
AI npm package by Vercel is a must when building AI agents with over 60.000 weekly downloads. The problem is that the React Native community can't use it. That is until now. Introducing react-native-vercel-ai library. Run Vercel AI on RN apps and better yet on web too when building expo universal native apps.

Fair enough. I was not criticising you, sorry if it sounded that way. I am just puzzled by instances where it seems an old fashioned approach (such as control-F in this case) would perform at least as well as fancy (and not always reliable) AI techniques.

Subnormals or denormalized floats can lead to some unexpected results. IIRC dividing a subnormal by a subnormal returns infinity.

I experienced this where a colleague had tried to reduce the number of divisions by rewriting (a/x)*(b/y)*(c/z) to (a*b*c)/(x*y*z).

The problem was that in certain circumstances the terms were all small, but of comparable magnitude. Thus the latter lead to subnormal divided by subnormal. The fix was to undo the optimization and do the divisions first, which lead to the multiplication of three numbers of order 1.
And so now, how do we tell if you're the person that we should listen to? You're making your point with complete confidence (as is the parent comment)?

Rockets go into space all the time without triggering accidental nuclear war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosmos_1408 IIRC was blown up in an ASAT weapons test without any advance warning; nukes headed to DC/Moscow have a very different flight path than one looking to hit a Starlink node.
The power draw on these compared to AMD feels absolutely bizarre - in an age where we're supposed to be trying to conserve resources, it feels ridiculously wasteful to burst up to 430W [1] for minor gains. That's over 200W more than the approximately equivalent AMD chip (the 7950X), for practically no performance over it.

You could try googling any of the programs.

> The program is producing paradigm shift results. In its inaugural year, STAR has successfully responded to 1,396 calls. Of those, there were no arrests, no injuries and no need for police back up. We've learned from these calls that expanding the program can help further reduce the need for law enforcement and emergency medical services to respond to 911 calls in certain crises, like intoxication, welfare checks, indecent exposure and more.

Can thank AMD for that.
Let's be clear about the relative alignment issues, though. All humans are almost completely aligned - all the issues we have with each other, whether at individual or international scale, are differences in lower-order terms, and they're dwarfed by the group dynamics and incentive systems we find ourselves in. Barring extreme outliers (which we classify as severe mental issues), the misalignment between any two regular humans is a rounding error[0].

In contrast, the more powerful AIs and eventually AGI we worry about aligning, are very unlikely to be aligned with humans at all by default. Different mind architecture, different substrate, different mechanism of coming to being, different way of perceiving the world - we can't expect all that to somehow, magically, add to the same universal instincts and emotions, same conscience, and capability for empathy to humans. Not automatically, not by accident, not for any random AI model we stumbled on in the space of possible minds.

Or, to simplify, if alignment was measured as a scalar (say on a -100 to 100 scale), all humans have the same number +/- minor difference (say 25 +/- 0.05), whereas in comparison, the AGI will come out with some completely random number (say anything between -20 and +40; not -100 to 100, because as builders of these models, we're implicitly biasing them to think more like us, in all kinds of ways).

--

[0] - There's lots of ways to argue for what I written above, but I'll give a few:

- If humans were meaningfully misaligned, cooperation would be near-impossible. There would be no society, no civilization. We would not be able to comprehend another cultures - their behaviors and patterns of thought would not be merely curious, they would feel alien.

- Alignment is favorable for human survival - even if our ancient ancestors were much less aligned, much more alien in thinking and feeling to each other, over thousands of years those most aligned to each other thrived, and less aligned died out.

> Two State Department cables show that American embassy officials in Beijing made several visits to the research facility and sent two official warnings back to Washington in early 2018 about the lab’s inadequate safety measures. This was at a time when researchers were conducting risky studies on coronaviruses from bats, The Washington Post reported, citing intelligence sources.

The thing that China does which deserves the most hatred, however, is not the accident: It is the coverup. It's one thing to fuck up; it's another thing to hinder investigation of the fuckup, while trying in vain to "save face," which ends up just resulting in more deaths. A sincere person or organization would say "OK, one of us screwed up, now please help us fix it". It's literally the most basic ethics/honesty lesson we teach kids (at least in the West)- "if you screwed up, 'fess up, and the punishment will be less":

> While the U.S. investigates, officials say the Chinese government’s continuing lack of transparency, including with respect to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, raises questions over how the outbreak began. Officials also accuse Beijing of still not sharing all of their data with the international community.

> Instead, there is Chinese evidence that the lab had safety problems. VOA has located state media reports showing that there were security incidents flagged by national inspections as well as reported accidents that occurred when workers were trying to catch bats for study.
> The recommended videos are all from major news publishers like The Associated Press, Sky News, and CBS Evening News.

I too remember when all my projects were greenfield, before my first burnout, when a less jaded me with better knees enjoyed the simpler times.
I get the point the writer is making: web development is a mess. However, I also think that stepping off that treadmill can make one's impression of the field a bit skewed, because there is no longer an incentive of the writer to keep up with the nuances of the changes. Web frameworks do come and go, but they're also not that different from each other. New ones show up, but that doesn't mean that everyone flocks to them and disrupts everything.

The whole process is definitely still a mess and I am not trying to defend the chaos, but I think it probably appears a lot worse from the outside.
Python is often _too general purpose_. Everything you can do in Nushell you can do in Python except Nushell is just a bit more concise given it is specialized for being a shell language.

Nushell is cool also because it has inbuilt versions of `ls` etc. that output tabular data so it can do all kinds of fancy things with it.

I certainly agree that current front-end stacks are a house of cards.

On the other hand, though, not many developers get to focus mostly on new code. And generally, open source dependencies are going to be used, as it's considered wasteful to build everything from scratch.
I'd say if you spend a day experimenting with it, you're on your way to mastery.

I don't remember any far right tendencies, but I sure do remember him cosying up to the Chinese communist party. Yes, it doesn't even take one missile to disable Starlink in a warzone. All it takes is an order from his Chinese overlords threatening they'll take away his factory in China and hell do what they ask.
This isn't an OpenAI problem - it's a Large Language Model problem generally.

Software built on top of all of the other LLMs is subject to the same problem.

If you're concatenating trusted "instruction" prompts to untrusted user inputs, you're likely vulnerable to prompt injection attacks - no matter which LLM you are using.

Building with local materials makes sense from an environmental standpoint by reducing transport energy. Since local materials will yield in different ways, architectural styles will need to adapt so buildings are resilient to the regional climate.

Extreme weather in regional climates demands better quality building materials, and traditional architectural styles may adapt poorly to new climates. Earthen bricks may work fine in the Middle East, but unless the bricks are fired, they cannot survive wetter regional climates (even with their claims of being waterproof), let alone a snowy climate. On the other hand, a Scandinavian-style A-frame will keep snow from accumulating on the roof, but such a design feature is extraneous for much of the world.

If you did want to build your own house using local materials, and you have wood available, rammed earth may be a better choice than unfired bricks, but it still won't perform too well in cold climates.
I second those who write about quiting and moving as a potential "buyers remorse" situation or just as a not-solution.

I just felt that Qualcomm would have an edge over Apple given Qualcomm's experience developing ARM chips for decades at this point. It was more that I assumed that Qualcomm had some kind of killer chip in reserve in case a competitor sprung up out of nowhere OR would be able to come up with one quick enough. I didn't think it was probable that Apple would still be king for 3+ years now and be so dominant.
I think him taking down your starlink access when you are using it is a much more risky part for countries. Already happened to Ukraine as well.

It is possible with micromirror devices to have a single lens on a satellite to send thousands of beams in different directions.

That opens up the idea of N satellites having N^2 bandwidth... Which scales much better than optical fibers, where in general to have double the amount of bandwidth, you have double the cable laying effort.

Current starlink satellites do not have this ability - they can connect to max 3 other satellites I believe, which is pretty much the minimum for a fully connected network.

The reason it got more cores is I believe the CPU die is the same as the 14900, but it just had some cores disabled. So they un-disabled them.

It feels weird that Apple have chosen to go down the route of iOS over MacOS, with a price tag like that it surely must be targeted towards professionals who want to use it for work.
This kinda strikes me as obviously the "right answer", in the sense that if you could have a reader traverse the code and "translate" it into English, surely you could then go the opposite router. No need for "func parentheses a comma b close parentheses"

But rather

"function definition func, two parameters, a, b"

Sorta like a prettier for blind coding

I'm looking to snag the Microcenter Ryzen 7700X bundle the next time I'm in Chicago. Intel dominates stuff like Cinebench but that's not what I use my computer for. The Ryzens are very competitive in gaming at a fraction of the power draw and any of them are leagues ahead of my current i9-9900K in both single and multithreaded performance so I'd get a great uplift without heating up my office.

I find it amusing that my absolute best intel desktop chip you could buy in 2019 would now be considered a low power chip with it's 95W TDP.
Depends on the shop. At Rema 1000 (Norwegian brand), there’s no gate, you just a number on your phone that you might have to show to a clerk if they ask. You exit by walking past people being checked out by a cashier.

At Netto and Føtex (Danish brands), they have traditional self-checkout with a machine where you scan your items yourself. You get a printed receipt/code that opens the gate.

Scan & Go uses the same exit as the self-checkout, so they give you a code on your phone to open the gate.

Here’s a very short video from Netto: https://youtu.be/5zVATAnUNyg

Of course they don't trigger nuclear war, that wasn't the point. The point is that they trigger detection systems. We know exactly what happened to Kosmos 1408, including all actors and events, down to every minute. We even have a Wikipedia article listing all those details that you were able to dig up easily. Compare that to the undersee cables that got cut, where we will probably never know exactly what happened. If we cought someone red handed while destroying critical infrastructure, that would be a pretty good casus belli.
