I don't think you know what the point of a red team is, if you did you'd understand how oxymoronic your statement is.

A part time red teamer is just a pen tester. That's not what a red team does, and adequate threat emulation isn't someone who flies in for two weeks does somethings that you can only accomplish in two weeks, then fly out to the next company to do the same things. You actually need to dig deep and research a companies individual weaknesses and that takes time. Threat actors have that kind of time to sit and observe and probe, a part time noisy pen test isn't going to get you more than the basics.

Also a blue team has to be right all the time, the attacker only has to get things right once. That's why you constantly test your assumptions with a red team and give blue someone to "train" with and improve with that isn't an actual threat actor. You don't want the first time you fight to be in the ring, you need to spar.

A lot of pen testing consultancies brand themselves as red teams, but a lot of them are just rebranding pen testing services to the ignorant.
Sonds great, I'll check it out. Thanks!
good list.

some points i hadn't considered fully as well.
Capability security matters at all layers. Our operating systems would be much more secure if they used capabilities instead of ACLs.
histogram is a diff algorithm
I suppose psychopathy and machiavellianism are diversity points as well. Should of just done insider trading like the rest of the world leaders. It's harder to prove in court evidently.
I should clarify that LuaJIT is not universally used either, because LuaJIT doesn't support anything after Lua 5.1 among other reasons. People often claim that Lua is a relatively speedy language due to the existence of LuaJIT but it's not entirely correct.
Hey just because something is really efficient doesn't mean it can't be even more efficient.

Came here to comment that I sincerely thank everyone for sharing such great recommendations. I haven't heard of most of the authors or books in the recommendations. Thank you!

Also came here to share my recommendation, which isn't mentioned here by anyone. The #1 book I read in 2023 that has been deeply impactful to my life.

> This would imply that the "space" between matter increases indefinitely as you approach the center, right?

> Also, wouldn't this apply to the original star that's collapsing? Meaning the particles inside the star are getting ripped apart as the black hole forms and they're drawn toward the center at faster and faster speeds. Is it possible that the particles in the star are also ripped apart by tidal forces, never reaching each other?

In that model, yes. If you take GR literally (and personally I wouldn't), space itself is distorted and matter falling in falls infinitely far. (There is an argument that this itself prevents a true singularity from ever forming: there is an eternally collapsing pseudosingularity that is getting smaller and smaller and denser and denser, but the denser it is the more time-dilation it undergoes and so the collapse can never finish in finite time, at least for an outside observer).

> Also, does this also apply to photons in say a light ray? Do the photons nearer the center pull away from the photons further out? If not, why not? And if so, then how can this be possible if all photons travel at same speed C? Is it that space is expanding inside the event horizon, faster than the speed of light?

You can't really talk about photons in the context of GR, but yes, from the perspective of an infalling observer, light from an entity behind you gets increasingly redshifted and eventually the two of you are accelerating away from each other faster than light can reach, like a "big rip" in minature.

> But the idea of a singularity is that "everything is in a single point of infinite density".

> So how can matter be getting ripped apart at the same time it's getting squooshed together?

From the outside it's a point. But from the inside it's an infinitely large volume of space. (Again, if you take GR literally)

I door dash mainly in Queens & sometimes in Manhattan using an electric scooter. I have not had any extra expense so far. 80% of the time I charge my scooter at work or at the gym so I'm not really paying extra on my electricity bill lol. Also, I stick to following traffic rules and stay on the bike lane as much as possible for safety reasons. If I see a large truck coming through, and it is a narrow street, I get on the side walk and let the truck pass. It has been easy accumulating active time, especially when dashing in Manhattan. So far, I have had a good experience and it has been an easy $30+ hourly.

I was kind of close to a couple of tornadoes this summer.

Before, I believed it doesn't just sneak up on you but I am not sure anymore. We don't usually see tornadoes, and I don't think they were very big, so maybe that changes things.

One went a couple of blocks to the north of me. The tornado watch came out the day before so I was paying attention. I was standing on the porch watching in that direction. It was storming, but it wasn't a very strong storm. No green, no hail, no strong winds, rain was pretty average. Still didn't know until I started hearing about it through Twitter and a coworker. The warning came 10-15 minutes after he saw it.

The other storm that dropped a tornado went over us while we were at a park. It was sunny when we arrived ~20 minutes earlier. This one did have all of the classic signs - winds picked up out of nowhere, heavy rain, hail, etc. At least it made sense when we heard a tornado touched down.

Maybe it IS a weak argument, but I've seen dozens of tornado warnings where no tornado occurs. There are weeks where a severe t-storm watch is out 4-5 nights and it doesn't rain. Sometimes a severe t-storm warning comes out and it doesn't rain. It's really easy to start ignoring them. I even see winter storm warnings that fizzle out to a couple of inches of snow. The weather report is frequently a bad version of the boy who cried wolf.

US industrial policy (IP;) is optimized for pharma-shaped industry, so that's what you get? Apple is investing years of nifty R&D to create an extremely difficult mass consumer market HUD, and far easier "niche" markets will be addressed afterwards, not before. Because patents. Maybe sufficiently long-term that's a win. Maybe not.

Absent mandatory FRAND licensing, patents don't play well with many-player small-market exploratory industrialization/commercialization. Pre-boom VR and large touch surfaces used the DIY dodge, "we're selling a kit, not a thing, so violations are on you, and of course you can't sell what you build". So you might then have bought a kit for a crufty coffee table surface, and adapted code from a we-cant-be-commercial small and scattered but active FOSS ecosystem. It all rather crimps market gestation. My understanding is the current trade war kicked off because pharma insisted on a "everything pharma wants, now" US position, and China considered that an intolerable new 'unequal treaty' (opium wars context).

Importation barriers don't help. And people trading incremental collective progress for moats and unicorn dreams. And just small-population "why was X never done?". As you accumulate market inefficiencies, eventually it all just doesn't fly? But mostly patents it seems to me.

I've heard stories, my dad went there in the early 60's as a physics major, dropped out and then got a PhD in asian history from a different school, then lived in Japan for a while, taught university history for a while, then came back to the US and became a computer programmer (Cobol mostly) until he retired. He told stories like that but I didn't really believe it until the movie "Real Genius (1985)" put it on film. From what I hear, the pranks in the movie are lame shadows of the real ones but it's a movie and it gets the vibe across for me. Trying to understand my dad a little, that movie helped. Anyway, Caltech sounds cool. And the guy living in the closet would be doing crypto or AI now. :)

His last project was trying to write a comprehensive history of Japan for wikipedia. I helped him upload it and it's buried in Wikibooks somewhere now and I like to think that some of his work is going to end up in the training material for some future AI like a ghost.

De facto vs de jure definitions for recall.
It really is not. The 70b model just does not fit into RTX 4090. As seen in the same video for models that fit 4090 is about 2 times faster.

It really is. The LLM is benefiting from the high amount of high bandwidth RAM, which is a benefit of UMA in Macs. To get 128GB or more RAM from Nvidia, you'd have to combine two H100 GPUs, which retail for $30k+ each.

Incidentally you can get ~ the same memory bandwidth as M3 Max with newly released 7945WX Threadripper for $1400 + the cost of DDR5. And you will be able to scale the amount of RAM as much as you want for bigger models (currently up to 2TB) by just buying new RAM.

The CPU would have less compute power. I'd be curious to see the test results of an Epyc 128-core CPU with 12 memory channels though.
I never suggested that it was. I'm just saying it is a skill to being able to promote yourself. Hiring based on a skill (even if it is only semi-related to the job) is hiring based on merit.

Decent living standards (affordable quality housing/health/edu/transport/energy) + reduced inequality between the top and the bottom should not be hard to achieve if its declared as an actual Goal.

Technology causes Price of Goods and Services to fall. Not rise. Yet the Fed says its inflation target is 2% which means Prices are always supposed to grow no matter what innovation happens or its speed. This makes no sense.

If living standards rise and debt levels drop due to increasing efficiencies and productivity then we should allow Prices to fall. Wont that take care of inequality and living standards?
Neither.

If we want to understand chemistry we should study chemistry at the level of chemistry, not study lower-level physics simply because chemistry is in theory explained by physics. We need to pick the right level of abstraction.

Creativity will be explainable in terms of composition and randomness in the same way that chemistry is explainable in terms of physics. Yes, these are the building blocks, but the building blocks by itself don't help you much because the complicated phenomena still hasn't been explained. All of the magic is in how the building blocks come together to produce the output.
What about faucets?
> I think the key idea that consciousness is a local maximum in the universe is fundamentally mistaken, if a cool thought experiment.

Very much agree, on both counts. Even "just" on earth, it's not like the more mechanistic approaches didn't have plenty of chances to compete. The near-instant and very complete domination by the first species to reach a certain level - and its subsequent orders-of-magnitude raising as it then starts to compete mainly with itself - was totally driven by evolution and there's no reason to think it wouldn't happen anywhere else. The only variable I can really see is in where it (evolution-driven intelligence increase) stops.

It's extremely hard to imagine even the basics such as group coordination and complex communication without some sense of self, and even the animals we see on earth with some level of these abilities demonstrate at least a proto-consciousness, which might well have won out in the end had we not been first past the post. There's no reason to think this phenomenon would be an earth-only anomaly.

It reminds of the "million monkeys with a million keyboards" thought experiment. Yes, they will, given infinite time, produce the entire works of shakespeare. But in the real universe they don't have infinite time, the actual shakespeare evolved, wrote it all first, then took over the monkey planet and enslaved or at least repurposed them before they even got the first paragraph out.

I don't mean to suggest that homo sapiens is some kind of universal peak of capability - we are almost certainly not - but I find it pretty much impossible to imagine sentient creatures being outcompeted by non-sentient ones under any circumstances.

It's expensive, sure, but consciousness appears to be a - the - superweapon, and whoeever grasps it first, wins.

The former seems to clearly be a more parsimonious explanation of what we've seen. After all, what is often at stake, as in the case of the linked article, is financing based on concrete promises of progress, and the claims made by Musk are never about problems no one else thinks are possible to solve at all, so the reflexivity position here seems more like a defensive motte rather than a meaningful strategic analysis

"if you look at their financial statements ... you're buying things at cost price on average"

Not quite.

Costco's gross margin is ~12% of revenue. That means their average markup (including revenue from membership fees) is over 10%. If membership fees are about 2% of revenue, and other income (e.g. commission from the vendors near the exit), then Costco's markup is in the 8% to 9% range.

If we were buying things at cost price on average, then Costco would not have enough money to pay for rent, staff etc.
One of the newer theories around the information paradox is that the information 'lost' is actually encoded in the Hawking radiation released, and with the proper key to decode it one could theoretically peer inside the black hole.

My sense is that we've got it flipped, and have so strongly embraced the 'realism' of quanta that we intuitively reject some of the more continuous features of GR, whereas if I was putting forward the candidate for the secondary 'rendering' side effect, it would be the conversation of continuous modeled things to discrete units for tracking state from interactions with free agents so optimized that erasing persistent information about the interactions converts back from discrete to continuous.

We've now seen that paradigm with procedural generated environments with deformable geometry where continuous seed functions convert to voxels that are tracked.

Maybe the foundation of existence is continuous and infinitely scaled, and it's only our own emulation of that foundation where there's conversion to discrete units and fundamental limits preventing any 'real' infinites?
