I got accused of being a Luddite because of my (negative) response to a post about SpaceX launching rockets every 2.5 days. There are reasons, beyond being a Luddite, for being against such enterprises.
Agree with your sentiment, but I see the future I expect at the confluence of a lot of different parties/positions (domestic politics, geopolitics, advertising, anti-piracy, “save the children,” anti-terrorism, etc) who have the money, vested interest, and ideological motivation to accomplish this.

For myself, if this plays out as I’ve described it just means it’s time to…go read a book or something, I don’t know.
It's what happens in a lot of places with open access networks. And it's what we do with a lot of infrastructure, such a streets.

Base64url also typically omits padding.

Since a base64 string with padding is always guaranteed to be a multiple of four characters long, if you get a string that is not a multiple of four in length, you can figure out how much padding it should have had, which tells you how to handle the last three bytes of decoding.

Which makes it a little confusing why base64 needs == padding in the first place.

Cue TV commercial from Mazda competitors: Own The Road with shots of winding scenic roads, auto dashboard and tripped-out Home Assistant dashboard.

Many manufacturers appear to be OK with especially resourceful owners optimizing their cars in this way. Home Assistant's integration library features at least six automakers, including BMW and Volvo, while Tesla recently published details of its new, official, open API for third-party developers to employ.

Amazon has it, so it seems widely available: https://www.amazon.com/Orange-Pi-Rockchip-Frequency-Developm...

I have an ordinary Orange Pi 5 for my HomeAssistant setup and it's quite alright. Having a real NVME SSD in there instead of an SD card gives me peace of mind. I did some tests with zstd and found it about 50% the speed of my Threadripper (restricted to 8 cores for the test). The non-efficiency cores are therefore probably more than twice as fast as a 2 generation old AMD chip, which is pretty impressive.

For the cost of the Orange Pi 5 Plus, you're starting to get into similarly-equipped Intel N100-based machines. I haven't seen any benchmarks comparing the two, but I'd assume it's faster. So you might want to look at those. (Amazon is expensive; everyone gets these from AliExpress. I also don't know how well modern Intel machines do booting without a keyboard and a mouse; the ARM SBCs do great.)

That's a bit of a false dichotomy. The choice doesn't have to be between blanket restrictions that are bad or no restrictions at all. There's also the option of giving some sort of mechanism to allow parents to set the restrictions they consider appropriate.
I click all the times when the discussion seems interesting or I would like to know why that person says what he/she says.

HN without headlines are Image boards like 4Chan, I guess. Those boards are very engaging and people commenting tend to to have an idea about the stuff they post about - albeit in 4Chan's case a lot of the times can be toxic. Despite the notoriety of the communities of these website, the format seems to have some benefits.
Honestly I think we're close to there already, with the Play Store and App Store leading the charge.

The giveaway is the amount of traffic generated by users in the second category is much lower than it used to be, while the first category grows. Just look at how much everyone here complains about their inability to find interesting things in this second tier today. Now that the VC money isn't going to prop up free stuff, or the ecosystem of dev tools to support free stuff, it's hard to see how the second lives on.

What will be left is P2P, torrents, and psyops masquerading as organic meme wars, everything else will evaporate or migrate to the first tier.
Sure I mean the extreme form, as in "literally cannot write any code at all" yet getting interviewed at XYZ tech company, and then being shocked when there's a coding interview. Bonus points when they've somehow talked there way all the way onsite, wasting 10+ hours of engineering time, and 48/72+ hours of their own time, before it's discovered that they can't in fact write code at all in any language. (I mean like 1 variable for-loop pseudocode, think fizzbuzz except without any conditional logic, even easier).

People absolutely embellish and get away with it.
OP is summary link to original Guardian article, which itself is an update of the original from a couple of weeks ago:

None of the articles seem to have proof or clarity of the claims in the form of actual documents and direct quotes from them. Not to say they don't exist, it's clear they do from the witness statements, but there is no detail to support the claim of some policy of active monitoring.

This seems like a serious overreach of government so the lack of meat here is curious.

> Social media, like journalism, needs propaganda and conspiracy and flamewars to thrive

Absolutely not, you are perhaps caught in the 2023 notion of social media. Early social sites thrived without any ads and company or celeb profiles even, just like early FB. Social media is and should be about common user interactions, most importantly the inner circle of acquaintances and then interest groups. Everything else was just made up to drive clicks and ad revenue.
What I don't get is who will apply the watermark? Certainly not the company running the LLM (why would they degrade the output of a commercial product?). The people submitting text generated by the LLM have no interest to do that. The only people who have interest in this watermark are the recipient but they aren't involved in the production.
Exclusively? No. But on the balance? The scale of budget they co-opt to pay for the harm they inflict makes a pretty strong case that they're net negatives.

Instead of adding in secret whitespace unicode characters, wouldn't an approach similar to a Bloom filter work pretty well?

Just spitballing here.

1. Identify the ~N most common tokens (let's say N is 5), and call this set S.

2. Restrict the model so that every T tokens it emits, the Tth token must be from the set S.

Maybe you can be clever and say T must be a prime number or something.

Anyway, the quality of the output should suffer minimally, since even though you are constraining the model to pick "sub-par" tokens every T tokens, it still gets to pick from the N most common ones anyway.

And to validate, you simply scan the text and see if every T tokens is always from the set S. If yes, there's a high probability it has the watermark (similar to a Bloom filter, adjust the values to adjust the probability). If no, then it's 100% guaranteed to not have the watermark.

Of course, there are pitfalls. What if you ask the model to generate code? Which is full of uncommon symbols. If you happen to get unlucky, then maybe the only token that makes sense at a given position is '}', and if you force the model to select from ['the', 'a', 'not'] etc then it simply cannot produce a good output. Still, the approach is interesting if you ask me.
Adding a prefix breaks any other process that might read that data.
The quality of PopSci’s content has gone the way of the dodo. Which is a shame, as years ago it used to be quite good.
You keep talking about everything but what has happened the last month.

First, yes, Israel has been blockading Gaza since the Hamas attack. This humanitarian crisis has been all over the news even in the US, so not sure why you’re saying it isn’t true. [2]

Over 5000 Palestinians have died so far since the Al-Aqsa Flood. So almost as many deaths as the last 15 years. 62% being women and children. 150k other casualties. [1] Also comparing death counts like that is not a logical way to view these situations. You can use the same line of thinking to deny the holocaust. “Only 6 million Jews? Do you really think that’s a genocide when Nazis killed over 20 million Soviets?”

No I did not mean the land belongs to the Palestinians. It belongs to all who live there, Jew and Arab. The UN is a political entity, the countries who voted had no right to say the Palestinians don’t get that land. The land has been lived in for thousands of years by all sorts of ethnicities. The current ethnostate does deserve to go away. Its existence will forever destabilize the region.

Last, I notice you had no response to how Israel doesn’t let Gaza build infrastructure. So I’ll assume you saw that was true.

Booting a live usb (or even creating one) has very little to do with programming. I bet anyone who wants to (especially horny teens who want to access porn) can figure it out in an afternoon.
You will be much happier after you concede the fact that the music you grew up listening to isn’t better, you just grew up listening to it. It is ok to say you got older, stopped trying to discover new music, and would rather listen to the old songs you know you like.

But it is such a tired trope to say all new music is shit. Especially when Spotify, Soundcloud, and other services have made it far easier for new artist to get their work out there and to discover them. You also now have access to the entire world of music, and not just music in your own language or from a similar region.

You will also be more pleasant to be around when people think of you as someone with a preference but is open to hearing new things.
>Otherwise why limit a project that's making people fell better about their car purchase?

It could be argued Mazda doesn't want to be on the hook for end-user customizations that may potentially jeopardize safety.

Now yes, if a driver modifies his car's code or the results of that code and causes an accident that's on him and not Mazda. But you and I and everyone here all know the media will jump at the chance to plaster sensational headlines for click monies.
Mazda is likely jealous of BMW for charging monthly for seat heaters, OSS tools to control the car threaten that.
> Even without access to such a tool they could simply...retype the text themselves?

There was a story I remember hearing, I think from an older student during highschool or during college from another student's highschool, where some kid was cheating by copying a hand-written paper from another student, and the paper had two names on it. They had put their name in the corner then just blindly wrote all text on the other paper, including the other student's name.
Thank you, kind stranger. I am the author of object shell. This project is obsolete, superseded by Marcel, which I also wrote. https://gitHub.com/geophile/marcel.

Marcel has a lot in common with nushell, but relies on Python syntax and types instead of inventing a lot of new language.
Not GP, but IME researchers often run big, complex simulations, and often have to care deeply about performance. Correctness, less so, unfortunately. A lot of research software is written by researchers themselves with very little understanding of good software development principles and practices, and end up messy, overly complex, and buggy. That said, being a software developer within research can be the best of both worlds. You should be able to demonstrate (using perf tools, and comparing with existing comparable software) that you're squeezing a lot out of the hardware, while being able to construct maintainable, tested software.

The evidence doesn’t sustain this hypothesis. Within a single command line, lessons are learned. But the effectiveness of tactics moves across the battlefield after demonstrated success is nuts. And senior commanders are dying fast enough that we see reversion time and again.

In my experience it's a positive sign to have an active Github profile or open source contributions, but it is not a negative sign if a candidate doesn't have one.

At higher levels (Principal, Distinguished) you often have to show external contributions to the industry, and some companies count open source towards this.

I can honestly say that my profile has been a huge benefit to my career, but that's more due to 20 years of open source contributions and a very customized (and automated) profile page.

I fully agree with your point actually -- if something can be known, one should try to find out. To your point, I actually had myself tested for Celiac once I saw how well Paleo worked for me. But I don't have it...

While your point stands, I think my point does too - even in spaces where you don't get a crisp diagnosis or a scientifically proven link, the empirical observations are valuable and actionable.

> Mazda has invested tremendous time and resources to develop confidential and proprietary information including computer code used by company. Recently certain Mazda Information, including proprietary API information, was used to create code and information posted to GitHub.com identified in repository of bdr99 ([private]). This repository contains code developed in python (https://github.com/bdr99/pymazda) and javascript (https://github.com/bdr99/node-mymazda), and appears to have been uploaded and used to create computer code associated with home-assistant.io and mobile applications. MNAO analyzed some of the code and determined that the code provides functionality same as what is currently in Apple App Store and Google Play App Store. We are requesting immediate removal of code from Github, brd99.

Since when is an API call proprietary information? Can they even claim a DMCA against it? That's like claiming DMCA for telling someone how to flick a light switch.

>when will artists accept genai as a tool not a competitor? all artists with genai tools easily outclass a non artist fiddling around

If that AI is being trained to emulate their work , using their work to do so, without asking their permission to use their work.. then it's not unreasonable for them see it as a competitor.

They don't have the same army of lawyers film studios have though, so it looks like SA etc got away with the heist.

And (questions of efficacy aside) they're perfectly within their rights to add hidden data to their images to stop it being scraped and used to train a a competitor.

>"Am I a useful train?"

young children know what usefulness is, and they want to be useful, and they love being praised for being useful. "Everybody in the family pitches in and has a role to play to make dinner and set the table" types of repetitive lessons are very important to children; it's the type of emotional development that neglectful parents don't provide.

A lot of children's play is imitating what adults do, preferably alongside adults. If you are typing on a keyboard, either give your child another one or suffer them wanting to touch yours. I'm not an expert, but this ties in with an inherent sense of usefulness and participation.
That's interesting, I got downvoted. Is someone pro regulatory capture?

I'm not against this, but I do believe such a header would give parents a false sense of security in what they can allow their children to do on the internet.

Then again, for those of us who are skeptical that such a program can work, I'm guessing we already aren't or do not plan to allow our kids on the internet without supervision, so it's a bit of a moot point for me.

I'm just annoyed that there is a certain set of incentives that allow for people to ignorantly trust the security and safety of various websites and applications, and then get some sort of reward/handout in the form of a class-action lawsuit against these services when they're finally caught failing to live up to the proposed safety regulations. So every idiot who had an account can line up for $20, and I get zero reward for correctly avoiding the situation by not signing up. These are perverse incentives IMO, and I'll just continue to be annoyed with all solutions that continue to allow this sort of thing to happen.

Under your proposal, there's an inevitable lawsuit where a bunch of people get paid out for allowing their children to get goatse'd because 'kidpxrn.biz' falsely put on the safe-for-kidz header. Sure, they got sued, but a bunch of kids got goatse'd in the process, and their parents got $20. Cool future, I guess.
