Tangentially related, I just recently found out that Lumberyard actually was spun out[1] into the open source Open 3D Engine[2] under the stewardship of the Linux Foundation. It's a nice surprise to see that Lumberyard didn't just die out, and is joining the ranks of open-source engines.

Is that personal data of real applicants captured in that video? I’m just wondering, as the recorded spreadsheets contain full names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, etc.
> Also, how do they know that "Apple does not intend to lock down what OS you can use on Macs"

They don't. And it really doesn't matter to some people. The current hardware is not locked down, therefore it can always run Linux. Future devices are not guaranteed to work, but those do not exist today.

> Buying a $2k machine to realize it doesn't support my workflow

You're simply not the target user. The people who are enthusiastically using Asahi know what to expect and are happy with it as it runs the software they need to use today. Of course it is not a mainstream option that every Linux user can use.

> that it will continue to work for at least a few years.

Once the hardware in your device is reverse engineered and drivers developed for it, that is done and will continue to work for a long time. The risk is future devices (Apple M6, M7, etc).
My personal beef that resulted in an email exchange was RTO preceded by an email saying we gotta hotdesk, because we don't have enough space for everyone. I just questioned whether it is a good idea to call people back into the office if you don't have space for them.

It was not received well. But it is not about logic.
As long as no consideration has exchanged hands or signatures signed, then yes. Contracts can be modified up to the second they are signed as long as both parties agree to it. Obviously, no one could negotiating away contract like this, but you always have the option to walk away.

A lot of times people compare software development in general to the amount of effort that goes into software for safety critical systems in things like airplanes or manned spaceflight. What's less talked about is that in those same areas, overall system design also focuses on reducing critical failure points through redundancy, backups, cross-checking between different sources, manual alternatives, fail-safes, etc.

I totally agree that putting more thought and care into software development could certainly be beneficial, especially where security is critical. But I think the point of the article is that an alternative, and maybe more realistic, approach is to make critical systems and networks less brittle so an intentional or unintentional software issue isn't the end of the world. Even in airplanes, computers don't always work right. But it (mostly) doesn't result in planes falling out of the sky because the safety of the system as a whole isn't reliant on one piece of software working perfectly 100% of the time.
Well, I'm seemingly able to tell these two high quality diamonds apart from only pictures thanks to the minute differences in the Ideal Scope / ASET pictures coming from slightly different cuts, so better also invest in these tools (a tiny fraction of the price of even these diamonds) ?

I don't see the world as black-and-white as the author does.

The thing is, as soon as you're reachable from the Internet, you will get bombarded by crap. Skiddies just blasting every IP they can with Wordpress exploits, log4j exploits, whatever. People DDoSing you for the lulz or for ransom. A WAF and CDN - personally I like what AWS has to offer - is basically a tool that's (unfortunately) required to be on the Internet these days.

The $285k was not an estimation of what it costs to run a ship per day. They merely divided $4M by 14. So it was an estimation of how much saving two weeks to go around is worth to the highest bidder, per day.

> Every alternative to the big frameworks (looking at you htmlx) feel like minor syntaxic sugar for jQuery and friends which feels like a massive step backwards and completely the wrong choice for building a web app.

Building an entire web app out of Javascript has been an incredibly dumb idea, and some ecosystems are trying to return us to the roots: most of the heavy lifting is done server-side, and JS is a sprinkle of interactivity on top, like the golden age of jQuery.

Before you bite my head off telling me about apps that necessarily have to be SPAs, how many apps are people using React for when a modern server-side framework would do (i.e. Phoenix Live View)?

They aren’t smart enough to lie. To do that you need a model of behaviour as well as language. Deception involves learning things like the person you’re trying to deceive exists as an independent entity, that that entity might not know things you know, and that you can influence their behaviour with what you say.
And then, there are the deeper principles, which are broadly applicable across diverse fields.

Examples:

- Permaculture design principle #1 - "Observe and Interact"

- Kanban principles, "Make work visible", "Everything in its place"
I interpreted this post completely differently. I think it is talking specifically about design principles for code/systems. The core thesis appears to be "principles should be based on what works in practice, not what sounds good in theory."

Fun fact, JC Bose was a teacher of Satyendra Nath Bose (the boson/Bose-Einstein condensate guy).

Well yes making that data public _will_ undermine Google's competitive standing. But that standing was obtained illegally through years of obstructing price discovery despite running a giant ad exchange with auctions that are supposed to be based upon honest numbers.

But by now the market has probably already priced in the impact of these revelations?

I think if we can sufficiently isolate the build process we can solve this problem. Lot's of opportunity with our project Witness to add extra isolation. It is something we are working on.

"Only two million reported fraudulent transactions per year" :)
I have beef with Lakera AI specifically -- Lakera AI has never produced a public demo that has a 100% defense rate against prompt injection. Lakera has launched a "game" that it uses for harvesting data to train its own models, but that game has never been effective at preventing 100% of attacks and does not span the full gamut of every possible attack.

If Lakera AI had a defense for this, the company would be able to prove it. If you had a working 100% effective method for blocking injections, there would be an impossible level in the game. But you don't have one, so the game doesn't have a level like that.

Lakera AI is engaging in probabilistic defense, but in the company's marketing it attempts to make it sound like there's something more reliable going on. No one has ever demonstrated a detector that is fully reliable, and no one has a surefire method for defending against all prompt injections, and very genuinely I consider it to be deceptive that Lakera AI regularly leaves that fact out of its marketing.

The post above is wrong -- there is no 100% reliable way to catch this particular attack with an injection detector. What you should say is that at Lakera AI you have an injection detector that catches this attack some of the time. But that's not how Lakera phrases its marketing. The company is trying to discretely sell people on the idea of a product that does not exist and has not been demonstrated by researchers to be even possible to build.
Yes. There's no way for an app to sidestep that.

AFAICT the only way to sidestep things on Android is to root the phone, then explicitly install some native-code binaries that do direct access to things normally controlled by permissions. This is not something that can easily happen by mistake, let alone by normal operation.
The big problem I've seen is being asked to do prototypes that absolutely will not be used in production, and will require rewriting half of it, rather than spending an extra hour or less to do something resembling the production version.

So I spend two hours, because half that time was prototyping something that's already very well known to be A Thing people can do, with only one obvious best practice everyone does, not really much that needs to be prototyped or explored.

I'm talking about things like not bothering to get a JSON parser working if it's nontrivial in a certain language, but using string split nonsense and some simpler file, because managers like to see regular progress without large gaps.

I've also done this kind of thing to myself plenty of times when in a hurry.
I too have an answer, that isn't one that the author of the blog would like.

If you can't explain how you know something, the simplest hypothesis is that you don't, in fact, know it after all. If you can't explain why you think you know a larger body of theory, what makes you prefer it to the alternatives, or why anyone else should, the most likely explanation is that it's malarkey.

And if that extends to your entire field, you're probably in the humanities.
That's how it works. People support policies that are beneficial and don't support policies that are harmful. Privacy is just one component of this evaluation. If we demand absolute privacy with no government oversight, even by warrants, the cost of increased crime will be larger than the marginal benefit from increased privacy. If we demand that nobody can hold somebody else's data, the cost to businesses that rely on their employees getting information from their company's logged communications will be larger than the marginal benefit of increased privacy.
Two observations:

8KB is a small amount of data. Many apps will need more, so will not be able to blanket block these. Even 64k, what appears to be the absolute limit, might not be enough.

Continuing, not blocking, is the default when not using the console, making this insecure by default.
>ATT, Motorola, Nokia, and Microsoft refused to join MPEG-LA and made their own 500 patent pool covering HEVC and charge $2/device + 0.5% of revenue from streaming.

Not true. You are referring to early HEVC Advance terms purposed which never happened.

>I wonder if it is possible to encode HEVC without using this technique and it was just that Netflix's encoders used it,

Probably not given how board that patent seems to imply. To the point I would guess even AV1 may infringe on it.
You don’t need an LLM for extractive summarization.
It’s pulling out the most meaningful sentences from the article. Not sure what the parent meant.
A simple question with many different details and answers that won't all fit into a single comment. The two easiest, though:

Which is a better use of 50k? To give one adult one extra year, or the same money to reduce child mortality for a hundred strangers in a different country?

Does the treatment actually reduce mortality, or is it just an expensive placebo?

One can't prove a negative. The burden of proof is on you here.
Thanks for the informative reply.

I suppose my question would be - are we in the early fifties or still back in the forties?

By 1951 there were stored program computers that were running real programs that did useful things. Yeah, they were super-expensive, unreliable, and laughably limited by today’s standards, but they were a real thing and even at that stage they had applications that people who weren’t tinkering with the machines themselves cared about.

We don’t have that with quantum computing yet, do we?
One of the main benefits of zelle was it couldn't be clawed back. Scams suck but paypal and other related apps have a major problem where the money gets clawed back after a legitimate transaction/deal is complete. Hopefully steps are taken to ensure this type of fraud doesn't become an issue.
I've watched the first episode of the new series and it's (as anticipated) very good. I admit I found his conclusion about quantum computers destroying our sense of free will a little frightening, but after reading this interview it makes a bit more sense.

Now I need to watch the original series, which I haven't seen since it was first shown on PBS in US.

This whole post could be a distinction without a difference. Like others say, it's a loop. The same could be better expressed as do what's pragmatic. Have principles that are formed from experience and apply them judiciously. Then we don't have to argue definitions or which is more important, etc.
I think people expect cancer cures to be as effective as vaccines really are, while also expecting vaccines (and antibiotics) to be as effective as a Potion of Cure Disease in Skyrim.
Writing all of this and concluding with a recommendation to use static analyzers feels like a joke. So we shouldn't use a tool that scans for known bad vectors but use a tool that...scans for known bad vectors instead?

Yeah, sure.

That's pretty moot. You don't need a human brain anyone than a plane needs feathers and to flap wings to fly.

Instead, the predictive text as the result of that fatigue is being models.

Emotion is definitely being modelled. There's nothing random about anything that's happened.

Train on protein sequences alone and biological structure and function emerge in the inner layers alone. It doesn't matter that those things are not explicitly stated in the data. Because they implicitly structure it, it gets learnt.

https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2016239118

Similarity, emotion is evidently being modelled to a high degree.

It's great to see more competition in this space. It looks VC funded though which (ironically) feels much riskier to work with than Google or Meta's offerings (I think pytorch is now part of a foundation anyway)... it is open source. Would they hope to get bought by a big company and become another tensorflow or pytorch?
I know of two use cases for this system:

1. There are races of cheap cars in UK, the prices of cars are kept low because everyone has to declare car value and anyone can buy it at said price (this is intended to keep the prices low).

2. I do not remember where I read about it, but some medieval town near the river used this system for collecting taxes, any passing ship would be taxed on declared value, but tax collector had the right to buy cargo for declared price.
Maybe from a purely technical perspective. Windows can be made to do just about anything, has the most tools and the most support. A power user should care most about getting work done. If they care more about how they got it done than what they got done, that's called a hobbyist.

Kind of funny tangent: both a friend and I now live out of state but are from the Bay area. We've met up a few times in SF and on two separate occasions he got smashed/grabbed with my car parked right beside. He's still somewhat conspiratorial about me being the vandal.

I think you can already see the issue with that proposition in terms of Google's attempts to prevent ad-blocking in MV3. Google went so far as to design a brand new protocol for handling web requests in such a way as to make it difficult or impossible to do proper blocking. They "Reworded" the capability.

If we assume that the "owner" of this list of capabilities is the same party that's writing the software, you better believe they don't (or won't eventually) have the user's needs in mind. Enshittification makes a fool of us all.

Written and paid for by a nuclear industry lobbyist
It's hard if you don't know any practical examples. Anecdote: I taught a college math course for a semester while I was between jobs. I shared an office with some other teachers including a bright grad student who was TA'ing differential equations.

My degree was in physics, and I had worked in industry. I told him that I wished the math courses had included some engineering applications of differential equations. He looked at me with a straight face and said: "There are no engineering applications of differential equations."
I hear that IRL too, not just on here (actually never seen that here myself), even from people who work for the City government. Like I used to be the one complaining about the downturn the City was taking and now most of the people I know who were much more optimistic have gone past my own pessimism by a country mile.

So I mean… Gotham City might be a meme, and it might be not entirely accurate, but it’s for sure a mood people are feeling in the City.
