That 14k towing capacity can probably only be sustained for like 28 minutes.

Edit: expect a ~73mile range at 14k. For comparison an f250 towing 15k lbs gets about 9mpg. With a 55 gallon tank, the f250 is still a better option for practical reasons. Let’s revisit this 5 years after the cyber truck release

That sents the bar unreasonably high in my opinion. Almost all of humanity does not have skills 'better than 50% of skilled adults' by definition and those definitely qualify as generally intelligent.

In person, with a valid ID. A lot of police reports are done online, especially for property crimes. It would be too easy for criminals to automate them. If it's an e-fraud allegation, it should require showing physical ID with a detective, and/or a video report (yes I know about deepfakes) to prevent script kiddies from automating the process.

My partner and I homeschool our child who's disabled. Mainly because classroom support for disabled students at our local schools (or ones further afield) isn't great. We've used the national curriculum as a guide, though we've munged it more than a bit to suit our child's needs. And we've been able to get a little (and I do mean little) financial support from the government which has helped defray the cost of some materials.

Overall, a year of homeschooling has been better for our child than the two or three years they spent at a regular school. It's a bit more work for me and my partner, but so far it's been worth it.

Really depends on your interest. So my list won't be of general interest. But I've found Twitter good for:

* Ukraine War coverage (less since Elon took over, he downranked it)

* Coronavirus: you can find a lot of scientists discussing new studies

* Business info/marketing etc: useful for company owners

Haven't found any of these on Threads yet. Threads actually blocks coronavirus searches and redirects to the CDC. So you can't easily find people you would follow on twitter.

This definition is itself tautological and also quite flawed. For example at what point in this machine’s development has it attained AGI? What if it learns to/is taught to stop learning? What if the machine is not capable of, e.g. math? What kind of knowledge is legitimate vs illegitimate? In many ways the concept of AGI masks a fundamental social context of the machine to obey standards and only adopt the “correct” knowledge. This is why, e.g. instruction tuning or RLHF was such a leap for the perception of intelligence, because the machines obeyed a social contract with users that was designed into them
Because it motivates Apple to not develop their own search engine.
The canal authority doesn't control the watershed land so it would have been up to the Panamanian government to enact the relevant legislation in the 90s or prior.

I don't understand what you mean by "leak" here.

Again, not a crypto expert, but my understanding is that all stream ciphers leak some bits of the key with enough output. This is why differential cryptanalysis is possible against them. This is also why RC4 could be broken.

EDIT: Perhaps a better algorithm: Accumulate 128 bits of entropy and use that to key Salsa20. Then, whenever another 128 bits are accumulated, simply re-key the stream cipher.

Sorry, I don't buy this. I don't discount your experiences and the fact that you enjoyed this environment, but there's nothing inherent about directness that requires personal insults. If anything, his insults were _less_ direct than saying what he actually meant, as evidenced by the need for your previous comment explaining "what he actually meant was...". The direct way to say "remember, you might not know the whole situation here" is not "don't be simpleminded; if you're so smart, why aren't you rich?", it's literally just stating what you mean.

You can formulate a culture around purposely being rude while still being correct, and you might even be successful, but it's not the same as making a culture around being direct, and it's disingenuous to claim otherwise.
I don't care about the tracking, if that's what you mean? The TV UIs are just so slow and bloated and terrible. The Chromecast is a little faster. Apple TV is even more performant, but their content hierarchy and recommendations suck compared to Google.

I think the Shield was nice for a while too but then Nvidia started adding their own ads.

The Chromecast with Google TV's as close to a "Pixel for TV" as we're gonna get, I think. Wish they'd make a version with a faster processor though. The current model is still noticeably laggy.

Answer: identify chunks via something like rsyncs rolling window or GearHash, then name those chunks by Blake3.

I don't see issues with WAF. Sure, it takes some time to set up so that you have <0.01% false positives but it filters out tons of robot attacks and other garbage. As backend does not have to deal with it, things like server errors almost vanished and I think it's a good tool - just like having a firewall. Of course you should not overdo it with the rules and check the logs once in a while (just like with SIEM).

I do however have issues stupid CAPTCHAs like Cloudflare has that even humans can't pass through when using a privacy oriented browser. Sites should serve visitors and not the other way around.

Not really. Fraud is a function of all payment systems because of human nature, not because of the tech. You could implement all of this with paper and sliderules and there would still be fraudulent transactions.

How many of your ancestors can you name? I can name one of my 8 great-great grandfathers (theoretically I have 8 but it was a small town and these things are not perfect) because I dug the grave for his youngest daughter myself and saw his tombstone. That is all he is to me. I cannot name any others. Eventually your children will be as forgotten as my ancestors.

I’m not saying not to enjoy the time we have here, but that doesn’t mean that that comes easy or that the burdens of existence are ones I would wish on a child.
Sure. Gun crime? Not really a thing in the anything resembling U.S. scale.

Though the requirements are pretty heavy.
Certainly, but your proposed scheme does not feed entropy back into the stream cipher, it just offsets its output.

Which effectively introduces entropy into the output, as well as to the internal state of the stream cipher.

This can be trivially broken if the stream cipher key ever leaks.

This is a trivial restatement of how symmetric ciphers are supposed to work.

The usual answer to the question is that people who are competent to play CTO meet a lot of people who want to be CEO and are not competent to do so. Various spins on "I've got an idea, please can you implement it for negligible equity".

Your post is ambiguous though. "Fellow coder" in particular. Are you looking for a second technical person as a co-founder, when you yourself want to build the product? That seems to have different failure modes to the "build me a better facebook" crowd.

I highly recommend a visit to the Canal Museum in Panama City if you get a chance.

It has the original engineering drawings of many of the places the canal was proposed and surveyed and was going to be built before Panama was finalized for practicality and political reasons.

To quote my own blog from when I was there:

> The number one attraction in town is obviously The Canal and before visiting I make a stop at the museum in Casco Viejo which is amazing considering the tiny $2 admission price. My engineering background means I’m fascinated by the surveying work that was undertaken before construction began. One map in particular shows proposed routes through Tehuantepec in Mexico, through lake Nicaragua, through a couple of different places in Panama and finally one using a river mostly in modern-day Colombia. The decision didn’t actually come down to the “shortest” distance to dig as you might think, but primarily on how the mountain range through Central America would be dealt with. The final location chosen meant it was possible to create a huge in-land lake and use locks to elevate the ships 28 meters to that level.

Really, really fascinating. I went back for a second day.

Because most users don’t switch the default search settings on their phone and Google’s search revenue would plummet if they lost iPhone traffic. Basically Google depends on paying another company to make sure a bunch of people accidentally use their core product. Yes, that’s a pretty crappy spot for Google to be in but they’ve not had much luck in any business outside search so they’re sorta stuck.
I don’t have access to the full paper, but this doesn’t follow:

> The open circuit and control having a similar effect show that it likely isn't ions from the anode or cathode.

When you apply current between two electrodes in an electrolyte, you do a few things:

1. Create an electric field between them.

2. Create an ionic current through bulk electrolyte.

3. Cause chemical reactions at the surfaces. This has to happen: the current in the electrode is made up of electrons (or, equivalently, holes), but the electrolyte doesn’t conduct electrons — it conducts ions. [0]. So, for charge balance to be maintained, every electron that exits the anode into the medium needs to somehow turn into an ion, which happens by chemically adding an electron to something, thus reducing it. Similarly, the cathode pulls electrons from the electrolyte, and they come from something in the electrolyte, which is oxidized as it loses the electrons.

If the cathode in particular is not inert at the voltage used, the cathode itself can be oxidized. A copper cathode can, for example, produce copper ions much faster than it it would naturally leach them without an applied voltage.

[0] I’m sure that exceptions exist. Solvated electrons are a thing. And you could use an electrically conductive substance as your medium, e.g. carbon or metal powder.

People do talk about how “Google is legitimately better than the competition”[1] while ignoring the competition that never happens because there’s no path to profitability due to googl’s entrenched position.

A decent workmanlike overview. If I had to criticize:

Reducing things to quasi-orthogonal categories (here quality and scope) is a human habit that's good for learning and characterizing, but perhaps not for accuracy. I would instead have hoped for some algorithmic categories (math, semantics, reasoning (deductive, inductive, probabilistic/weighted...), evaluation (summarization, synthesis), interactivity, etc. That seems closer to the creature's natural joints (to use Plato's phrase).

"Emergence" is mentioned as prior art, but is otherwise largely ignored. To me, that's a feature that distinguishes intelligence from calculation/algorithm. (That it's hard to operationalize makes it no less key.)

Usability is only mentioned as part of UI for autonomy for hybrid human-AI systems. But the overall question is about measuring AGI for purposes of assessing utility and deployment risk. To me, usability is the metric that determines how valuable AGI would be, in broadly-available applications. Its relative unimportance suggests that people are mainly concerned about AI's use in highly-targeted (if also not highly-leveraged) applications, like market or election influence.

Finally, the notion of "progress" itself is a somewhat charged but relatively unnecessary concept. I believe the goal is to adopt the lens that will highlight effectiveness in the high-value and high-risk applications (something like heightened scrutiny in legal cases). In that case, we'd enumerate the value and fault models before deciding on principles and constraining the ontology.

Only if the WAF somehow understands the internals of that software better than that software itself. Which, sure, sometimes happens, but there's no systematic reason to believe it. Why should the WAF have a better hit rate than the makers of the actual application? Does the WAF vendor offer a guarantee that systems behind it wil never be hacked?
