Android has transitioned to secure DMA-BUF (after much controversy with ION), which more or less alleviates the need to use a mutually-untrusted VM (pKVM https://youtu.be/edqJSzsDRxk) for Baseband isolation?

Note though, OEMs are known to run 'device management' stuff with elevated privileges (not just the Baseband). Ex: see this write-up on Samsung RKP (realtime kernel protection): https://archive.is/6ClWm

The claim was GPT4 was the best education tool. I think that's absurd.

Forcing an educator to choose it or a book demonstrates the book is in fact the best education tool unless the educator is going to double down and say they'd teach from a chatbot over a textbook.
People who worry about AI taking over the world need to worry about the world continuing to work.

Your average gas station gets gas 2x a day. The electric grid has 100's of faults that are worked around and fixed every day. Delivery still are loaded and driven by people.

Any AGI that is a threat to humanity has to be suicidal to act on it because of how the world works.

Furthermore, if you crack open an LLM and turn OFF the random noise (temperature) it becomes very deterministic. You think our accent to godhood is on the back of a vector map with some noise, I dont know what to tell you. That doesn't mean all this ML can't change the world, can't foster less BS jobs and enable creativity... but I have massive doubts that sentience and sapience are on this path.

That may be the issue. I can get about 6k lines of data today and in time, could have a bunch more. Each line represents a full request (user input, model output, full prompt, etc.) so I would intuitively think that 2k of these is good enough.

And it's actually good enough for llama-2-7b, insofar as it transforms this model from "terrible with my prompt in production today" to "this could be workable, actually". But my bar is to be better than gpt-3.5 and require less text in my prompt, but no fine-tuning I've done so far has achieved that.

Most people are conformists.

>Only around a quarter of Palestinians approved of Hamas before the war.

But a lot more approved of violence and terrorism, and they did prefer Hamas over alternatives (that's why no election for 17 years - because everyone knew Hamas would win).

Basically, there's nothing Israel can do that will compare with the main driver in Gaza: Hamas control of media and education or ability to just conscript. If there was nothing Hamas could use as propaganda, they'd just invent something. You can't compare the ability to recruit of a terror organization to that of pseduo-state. The state will always win. The state has a tax base, police, media, ways to make one conform. The terror org always needs to compete with the local power and that makes it way more difficult.

This part can definitely make sense, and if nothing else it can foster an engineering culture of "we care", which is great. I just wanted to show the other side but from your answers it seems like the team weighted the options. It's definitely a cool project to work on. Thanks a lot for engaging with a random grumpy guy on HN!

Memory was one cycle, zero-page or not. Indirect through zero page was 3 cycles after the instruction fetch, the first two to collect the address, the third to use it. The other chips with 16-bit index registers should have had a huge advantage, but they spent lots of cycles doing nothing visible from the outside.
That's a very interesting approach, I'm not sure if the sequences would remain consistent under that model or not. AWS RDS Aurora also requires you to drop replication slots when performing version upgrades, so we would unfortunately have lost the LSNs for replication slots that we use to synchronize with other services (e.g. data warehouse).

I'd look into it more next time if it weren't for the fact that AWS now supports Blue/Green upgrades on Aurora for our version of Postgres. But, it's an interesting approach for sure.
Agreed on the trickiness! Our early users largely told us they preferred one source to take precedence in a conflict, and would rather set that general rule than review every conflict manually. But a handful have expressed interest in the latter approach, so it's on our roadmap to build.
maybe not but you can be assured they'll share whatever information they can predict with some degree of confidence with their 'partners'. Imaging FB getting a hold of you dna data (hashed up but still) and pairing it with eyeballs and other info from their AR/VR headsets.
Yes, I think we are seeing the beginning of a feedback loop where we can use current LLMs to generate better datasets at a scale large enough to create new LLMs. This is the positive feedback loop that I think is going to make the biggest difference in model quality over the next few years.
I don't support this, but I'm surprised they only do this until now.
Licensed isn't any more made up than buy and rent, all words are made up.

Being able to articulate what exactly you are allowed to do with something you buy is a useful legal fiction, much like property rights, contracts, and all of the other useful legal fictions we enforce on the world.
Portugal's use of hard drugs increased at a lower rate compared to the rest of Europe post decriminalization. Obviously decriminilization is not the same as legalization, and there are other demographic factors in play, but I don't know that we have any evidence that suggests the usage of fentanyl, etc. is going to rise based on being decriminalized or legalized. This very article says that the destigmatization has no resulted in higher drug usage than in places where it is still stigmatized and laws are highly enforced.

Opioids aren't like pot or hallucinogenics or even cocaine - there's no glamour associated with them, at least not since the opulent opium dens have long since been shuttered. People can and do use them while functioning, but people mostly fall into addiction through not being able to get off of opioid based painkillers after having been prescribed them, or by their life falling apart to the point where they are medicated to an extreme extent. Will there been individuals who use if it is legalized that wouldn't otherwise? Of course. Will it be in significant quantities? I don't believe so, and don't believe there is any evidence to suggest that this would happen. The question is if the benefits can outweigh the downsides and result in overall harm reduction.
If the motor is the expensive part, that makes sense.

In a way, that’s still what some cheap crates of DIY equipment do: they have a drill, a sander, a vibrating polisher, etc. that are all extensions around a handle/motor core, and a couple of batteries.
> On top of that though, it's not clear the humanitarian solution is opening that border. With many high level Israeli officials calling for Gaza to be ethnically cleansed, encouraging an evacuation from land that the Gazans might not be allowed back on to could be viewed in hindsight as assisting a crime against humanity.

Allowing people to escape murder is not "assisting with a crime against humanity", whereas stopping them from doing so is clearly exacerbating the crime against humanity.

Which is the point: Egypt isn't blocking Palestinian exits to stop Israel from ethnically cleansing Palestine, it is just counting on not letting that be done by pushing the Palestinians out as refugees being likely to create a pile of corpses that (1) Egypt won't need to feed and secure, and (2) Egypt can use internationally in political propaganda against Israel even more than it could use an expensive pile of refugees.

Bizarre is viewing Israel as "oppressor" for disengaging entirely from Gaza, dismantling is own Israeli settlements despite massive protests by the seller movements, and only imposing a blockade once a terrorist group took absolute control (and threw Gays and Fatah opponents off rooftops to their deaths)

Not to mention the "blockade" is in fact Israel closing its own borders and Gaza has a third border with another country (Egypt).

One of the students in a course I’m teaching on language and AI (mentioned in another comment here) wrote something similar in a homework assignment the other day. We had discussed the paper “Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Science of Consciousness” [1]. The student wrote:

“One of the questions that I have been wondering about is whether there have been any discussions exploring the creation of a distinct category, akin to but different from consciousness, that better captures the potential for AI to be sentient. While ‘consciousness’ is a familiar term applicable, to some extent, beyond the human brain, given the associated difficulties, it might be sensible to establish a separate definition to distinguish these two categories.”

Probably new terms should be coined not only for AI “consciousness” but for other aspects of what they are and do as well.

How do you suppose the central authority gained that control in the first place? They fomented this exact sort of "hate of the Other" to whip a certain kind of person into a fearful frenzy. Trump's doing the same thing today with MAGA. Trump-era USA is Germany during the late 20s and 30s.
Criticizing Israel doing ethnic cleansing and war crimes stuff is not the same as being "severely biased".
There were programs here that had been written five thousand years ago, before Humankind ever left Earth. The wonder of it—the horror of it, Sura said—was that unlike the useless wrecks of Canberra’s past, these programs still worked! And via a million million circuitous threads of inheritance, many of the oldest programs still ran in the bowels of the Qeng Ho system. Take the Traders’ method of timekeeping. The frame corrections were incredibly complex—and down at the very bottom of it was a little program that ran a counter. Second by second, the Qeng Ho counted from the instant that a human had first set foot on Old Earth’s moon. But if you looked at it still more closely…the starting instant was actually about fifteen million seconds later, the 0-second of one of Humankind’s first computer operating systems.
> Someone can jbe bad at arithmetic, but good at writing proofs

I'm not saying it's impossible, just that the median child/teen isn't going to demonstrate this.

I don't think it's debatable that proofwriting is harder to teach, and requires more time and effort from both students and teachers.
Is that really so problematic, though? It's the same as ABC iView and SBS OnDemand, from what I can tell... Perhaps this is just to comply with local law, then?
There was never any agreement on borders. You can look at any past offer and see one side or the other complaining why it's unacceptable.

> take water pipes sent as aid - which were allowed to be imported - dig them up and turn them into rockets

This is not true. They did dig up pipes to make rockets, but they were the pipes from Israeli settlements. Settlements that Israel destroyed so Palestinians couldn’t inhabit them

> What do you think they'd do if they were able to import more freely?

Be more at peace, feel like they matter, like the world cares about them and that they can be a part of it without having to ask for permission from Israel

If anything, the end of the blockade would probably bring more peace and stability to everyone in the region

Re your point: I hear you, but given the nature of this particular article, I assume there isn't a more primary source with this material, which mostly consists of quotations. No one has mentioned any evidence (so far as I know) that the quotes are falsified. (And yes, this is different from whether the things the quotes are saying are true, whether they've been selectively edited, and other things.)

I know it's easy for me to post things like my GP comment without understanding the impact that it can have on readers. I've been trained through thousands of iterations (if not tens of thousands by now) to think this way, when in fact it's not obvious and is even counterintuitive to most people. When the underlying topic is as painful as this one, that's a problem.

But again, small and medium scale violence in the context of a smaller population means each individual has a substantially higher rate of violence.

Which is more violent? 10 people killed out of a tribe of 100? Or 100 people being killed out of a city state of 10,000 people? The latter is 10x more violent in raw numbers, but it's a lower rate of violent death.

Yes, agricultural societies had larger populations and had the ability to organize larger armies than hunter gatherers. That's not doubted by anthropologists or historians. The point is that the small scale hunter gatherers violence was still more violent proportional to the population than warfare in agricultural societies.

I agree it should be an option for the children who are capable, but as I mentioned in another thread, I don't think the median child is capable... or they may be capable after far more effort from the institution than is acceptable.

I'd imagine you'd have to start kids writing extremely basic baby proofs in elementary school, and then continue to hammer it in every single year until they graduate high school to get basic competency in proofwriting. That's a long time commitment for little visible gain.

The IDF left premature babies to rot after forcing doctors away at gunpoint.

No one in the Israeli government seems to have felt bad about that.

The IDF, with the full backing of the Israeli and US governments, are murdering thousands and thousands of children, then saying things like "well you can't trust Hamas' numbers".

They're targeting journalists and poets. They're targeting historic buildings. They're targeting refugee camps and humanitarian corridors. More UN workers have been murdered than in any other conflict, ever.

That's the context I interpret the above statements in, and I don't know how those facts can be looked over.
You massively discount the radicalizing effect. After what happens, neither side will agree to peace under your formula (which never worked even in more optimistic times).

> Bizarre is viewing Israel as "oppressor" for disengaging entirely from Gaza,

Israel didn't disengage entirely from Gaza, it maintains a murder zone inside Gaza, and has murdered unarmed peaceful protestors in Gaza within that murder zone.
> What does "curiosity" mean in a context like this? It certainly needs to be more than just a technical dissection of details.

But then allowing this discussion on here is already misguided. Call me biased, but I don't think you're going to find a ton of experts on international law and the law of nations on a site aimed at technical discussion. Even in qualified circles, this discussion is already heavily biased.

I'd argue that in order to discuss topics like these, you ought to have a guided discussion, with experts present to correct polemic statements. (such as the 2nd top comment, that is currently trying to compare international law with laws affecting individuals, which is a gross misinterpretation of the legal situation of this war.) This is how well respected journalists and news outlets do it in my country.

I think it’s fine: the binary is under both licenses, but one requires you to publish a notice and the other requires you to publish a notice and all source code for both parts. Since you want to know what “license burden” you’ll have to bear when you’re looking for an app in a distribution platform like this, I think it’s fair to just specify the more restrictive license.

The "blockade" was Israel protecting its borders once Hamas seized control. And it's not a blockade as one side borders Egypt.

For much of the time, Israel allowed goods through the tough restrictions on what types of materials were allowed in started once Hamas started tunneling into Israel to commit attacks.

Very recently, Israel increased significantly the number of work permits for Gazans to work in Israel in the mistaken belief that Hamas and Gazans were getting comfortable with improved economy and this would gradually lead to deradicalisation and eventual peace. The other estimated the humanity of Hamas who it turns out were actually planning barbarism.

Even if you aren’t law enforcement, it is rather trivial to find someone’s work and home address. Law enforcement would definitely have access to that information, so they would know which coordinates to spoof.

It is very problematic because modern actors mumble to the point you can't understand much unless the volume is high enough for your entire neighbourhood to hear. Having closed captions instead of subtitles harms immersion.
