Not that I know of. There are other hardware-ish exploits (like checkm8), but I think most have been purely software.

(Hopefully what I said wasn't interpreted as a value judgement about hardware security specifically -- the only point I was trying to make is that ICs spend significant resources discovering exploits on all of these platforms.)

I recommend this method for self-hosting too. I have gigabit Internet and cloudflare proxying unlocks the ability to host locally without exposing my home IP. Plus all the advantages of DDoS mitigation.
Yeah it was a bit confusing.

My friends and I played outside as children. I began to wear eyeglasses at age 17. My friends at the time to the best of my knowledge did not wear eyeglasses (ages 0 to 18). I do not know any of the same people now so I cannot say if they as adults wear eyeglasses or not.

Cloudflare won't protect your IP being hit directly. If your IP can be accessed publicly, it will get hit. period. You could use nginx etc to do a 444 status code but can't stop these scripts/bots from hitting ur IP completely.

"5x the power on PC should give you 3x the performance" isn't exactly broscience, and while it's not sourced neither was the claim they're responding to.
Also announced at the same conference was a way to make the output near-deterministic by submitting a fixed seed value. Did you try that?

Edit: I'm very confused why this is being downvoted. It's exactly what they advertised:

"Reproducible outputs and log probabilities

The new seed parameter enables reproducible outputs by making the model return consistent completions most of the time. This beta feature is useful for use cases such as replaying requests for debugging, writing more comprehensive unit tests, and generally having a higher degree of control over the model behavior. We at OpenAI have been using this feature internally for our own unit tests and have found it invaluable. We’re excited to see how developers will use it."

Yup. If you spend time all day at a computer but never wear glasses, I can magically guess that your prescription is around -2. That's not a coincidence, just calculate the focal length and it comes out to exactly the computer screen distance.

And when you wear your full prescription without correcting for target distance, you just restart the process all over again. For some lucky people the axial length seems to be fixed after some point, but for most people that sets them on the path of increasing power.
There are two points at issue here. One, that information should be more free, and two, that large corporations and private individuals should be equal before the law.

Lots of poisons (and herbicides, and medicines too) work by targeting a single chemical pathway. E.g. binding to a specific receptor or doing something to a specific protein.

I think insects and mammals do have pretty different biology, but even if they didn't it would only take one chemical pathway that insects used and mammals didn't that you could exploit.

FWIW, that was addressed in the article:

> Whatever chefs might claim, this fact is well established: in 1995, Unicef, concerned about the sensitivity of children to odd flavours, commissioned a study in which rice was prepared with salt iodised at ten times the maximum recommended concentration. In double-blind taste tests, the iodine was undetectable.
Sure, but if war is inevitable, do you want to be prepared to win or not?
The conclusion that AGI will happen in 2040 is what I’m arguing against. I think 4020 is maybe a better estimate.

I don’t feel like we’re anywhere close given that we can’t even yet meaningfully define reasoning or consciousness… or as another commenter put it, what is it that differentiates us so significantly from other animals.
I suspect they're well aware that this could happen. A business that can't function with reasonably paid workers probably doesn't have much of a legitimate business plan to begin with. After all, razor-thin margins mean minimal income to pay taxes on, so they're of little value to the state and should be replaced by more profitable ventures.
The article referenced mentions of goitre in Switzerland from Victor Hugo in 1839, Mark Twain in 1880, a medical survey in 1883, and Roman authors like Vitrivius and Pliny the Elder. It also mentioned that the iodine idea had been going around for a hundred years before the activities of the heroes of our story.

Iodine had not been seen as a successful cure before because excess iodine causes a horrible condition. The key difference here was that Hunziker proposed regular use in minute quantities, and then Bayard tested the hypothesis with careful measurements and convincing evidence.

My point is that it discriminates one type of business against another. Labor is labor - if one type of labor should be paid at least $20/hour, so should all others.
No, they claim their company would be worth 1/2 more had Apple not infringed their patent. Or probably they're asking for something extra to compensate for the fact they have to sue. Anyway not directly related to current market cap.

You pretty much cannot have too much iodine. It is a good idea to use iodised salt in general.

[edit] fair enough, I need to qualify that. You pretty much cannot get too much iodine with something that looks like a normal diet, and in any case iodised salt is not what push iodine levels over the top. And in a normal diets, iodine deficiency is much, much more likely than iodine overload.

I just had a look at the Adobe stock licencing and royalty terms and I'm not 100% clear that they are bulletproof either. They certainly don't mention AI training in their terms (I guess they argue that this would fall under the "developing new features" part of the clause).

It does seem however seem a significant change of the terms, as Adobe was essentially paying contributors based on their downloads (i.e. how often their work was used), but the whole AI model is they use the work to not having to pay the contributors anymore.
AIUI California minimum wages:

A) fast food employee: $20/hour

B) other employee: $16/hour

C) delivery gig worker: $19.20/hour plus $0.30/mile (but only for the time you're actively on a job)

I guess they did the math and figured out that C is cheaper than A. If the demand for pizza delivery workers is spiky, perhaps it makes more sense to link the costs to the actual output (# deliveries).
Sure, but I’m not sure how common it is to transplant an engine into another car - maybe we will do that with batteries?
Turn off clipboard sharing, use a config file, and barrier works well on most systems.

Way too much BS to get it running though.
There is a PNG in the original article with detail of the malware gaining a foothold on a device:

I'm referring to the fact that it maintains an independent connection to each monitor in order to facilitate fast switching. Almost no other DP switches do this.
This is because critical thoughts are at a premium and it’s easier to pick a side and pad it with whatever arguments augment it than arriving at conclusions by actually evaluating the wide set of facts and reasonable adjunctions.

Is the first Python example correct since it strips out non-alphanumeric characters? An errant space or punctuation in one half of the string will turn a non-palindromic string into a palindromic one. Never mind the lowercasing!

def is_palindrome(s):
# Convert the string to lowercase and remove non-alphanumeric characters
cleaned_string = ''.join(char.lower() for char in s if char.isalnum())

# Compare the cleaned string with its reverse
return cleaned_string == cleaned_string[::-1]

It's not the same as the C version which simply compares the value of two pointers at opposite offsets of the string.

The OP goes on to remark that the Python implementation is pretty standard but doesn't acknowledge that the C and Python versions will not produce the same result.

Basically... you still need to code-review GPT function output. It's probably about as good as a junior engineer trusting the first result from Stack Overflow and not verifying it.
I made a reply about rolling my eyes to this comment that got flagged (rightly so); this was unproductive and impulsive and I admit I shouldn't have done it.

I'm not sure how HN handles replies to flagged comments, so I'm posting the following here in the hopes it'll be seen by more fellow technical people :

In the future, if you wish to invite productive comments from your audience and not curt dismissal, consider framing your concerns as potential risks rather than the cynical expressions of fatalistic certainty so often employed by naive, greedy technologists when regulation that is firmly in the public interest threatens their paychecks.

Masks were a case of bad communication, they absolutely do work. For others around you more than for yourself so. And vaccines worked wonders, everybody who got two, or three, shots allowed anti-vaxxers to not get theirs and not catch a hard Covid strain regardless of that decision.

But please, tell me more about the "UV-based cleaning thearapy" and Monoclonal Antibody Therapy. Or, on second thought, don't.

Edit: Monoclonal Antibody therapy doesn't work with Covid:

>> Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that target the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein have been shown to have clinical benefits in treating SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, laboratory studies have found that the activity of anti-SARS-CoV-2 mAbs against specific variants and subvariants can vary dramatically. Because of this, these products are not expected to be effective treatments or preventives for COVID-19 in areas where the circulating variants and subvariants are resistant to mAbs.

What? If you presume that a patent is invalid, then what is the patent office for?

You pay them to make sure the patent in valid before granting it. Why would one part of the government always preaume that the other part of the government is wrong?
This is some old fashioned Cold War military spending arguments. We can not have a fighter plane gap!

The assumption that an air war with China will result in a 1:1 trade of aircraft needs more citations. I’m also not sure they were counting the Navy and Marines airframes in the estimate. I am not sold on the need to buy more military aircraft at the time.
I think you've misunderstood. The point was that there are (to simplify) two different threat models at play here: one where your most powerful adversary is somewhere between your family and domestic law enforcement, and another where you are worth $10+ million to a nation state.

99.99% of the world lives in threat model 1; our goal as security minded people is to protect these people. These people want general purpose networked computers in their pockets.

0.01% of the world lives in threat model 2; our goal is also to protect these people. But these people don't get protected while also having general purpose networked computers in their pockets.

Both groups are civilians, and both deserve security. But they also have different demands; if Apple forced Lockdown Mode's usability restrictions onto a billion people tomorrow, a large percentage of them would switch to materially less secure hardware and software vendors.

iPads can't send SMS text messages through Apple's Messages app. Even if you have an iPad with a cellular data plan for mobile internet on the go, you still can't send SMS text messages.
Power is more important than profit. Those running the national security apparatus have been in power for 60 years. The fact that they still haven't released the documents on the JFK assassination evidences that they are still in power.
Indeed. This happens when the form is configured to collect "verified" emails.

A form can use a custom field (doesn't require login), user input managed by Google Forms (named "Email", doesn't require login), or the google email of the user ("verified" email, requires login).

This add-on supports every one of these options.

Not really. In San Francisco, if you're selling burritos for $10+tax, the government gets $0.86 in sales tax for each burrito, even you make nothing or make a loss.
Well, fluoridated water tastes really… well, special, and it almost feels like an indirect subsidy for the water filter industry. Iodine in salt is (to my taste) pretty neutral in comparison.

[EDIT: as pointed out in a child comment, the taste actually comes from chlorine, not fluoride.]
In this context, saying that he was "dressed to kill" was not the journalist complimenting his dapper attire, but rather making a corny pun. TV news networks force their anchors to use groan-worthy lines like this to this day, as a way of keeping the audience's attention.
By that standard, nothing has meaningfully changed since agriculture and domesticated animals. We're still killing each other, forming hierarchical societies, passing down stories, eating, drinking, sleeping, and making families - except now we're killing each other from afar with gunpowder, forming those hierarchies using the guise of democracy or whatever, passing down stories in print rather than speech, can use condoms to control when we make families, and so on.

Human civilization has accumulated many layers of systems since then and the internet changed all of them to the point that many are barely recognizable. Just ask someone who's been in prison since before the internet was a thing - there are plenty of them! They have extreme difficulty adapting to the outside world after they've been gone for forty or fifty years.
Perhaps, or they might have the same compensation overall but less idle time, i.e. work harder for the same pay.

Gay isn't the President of Harvard because she's widely viewed as one of the most effective social scientists of her generation; if anything, her hiring puzzled social scientists, because of her scant track record. So calling out her whole academic discipline is a non sequitur. By the letter of your arguments, she's close to the ideal social scientist for the role: one who does very little social science.

Culture, tradition, and religion are all objects of study by social scientists. People do social science one way or the other. You can't have a world without it; you can only have good social science or bad social science. Again: that Harvard produces bad social science is hardly an outré argument. Just make that argument.
Facts are not subject to copyright

That's false; but even assuming it's true, misinformation is creative content and therefore 99% of the Internet is subject to copyright.
It's because the change happened slowly. So it feels like nothing has changed.

Another thing that's changed is engineering. The US has moved up the stack. Engineering is now mostly software development and within that it's mostly web development. Engineering and manufacturing has largely moved overseas to Asia and that's where most of the expertise lies. The only thing off the top of my head that the US still dominates in engineering is software/aerospace/defense. In general though everything else is dominated by Asia, if you want the top hardware technology the US is no longer the place to get it. In Silicon Valley there used to be a good mix of different types of engineers, now everyone is SWE, and most likely doing web stuff. But here's the thing, you most likely wouldn't have noticed this unless you thought hard about it because either you're too young or because the change happened so slowly.

The same will be for AGI if it comes into fruition. A lot of jobs will be replaced, slowly. Then when AGI replacement reaches saturation most people will be used to the status quo whether it's better or worse. It will seem like nothing has changed.
General problem solving is not just finding what is wrong with a machine, which is the domain you are referring to.

Here are some examples where that 'algorithm' might not give you a headstart:

How should I cook this meal?

How should I direct this presentation to maximize the chance of them to buy the product/service ?

What should I do to not starve if lost in the woods?

How can I detect friendships that are not beneficial for me in the long run?

How can I tell if this media content is true or false?

We all have some sort of familiarity with most types of domains, so you might be inclined to think it is due to your 'problem solving' skill.

However, the point of the article is that you can't transfer your skill level in one domain to another. It's easy to see as if it wasn't that way, recruiting software engineers would be trivial: apply a test for a proxy and that would be your predictor for performance. This is not the case as (afaik) not even big tech has hit the nail with their recruiting processes.
Yeah, it's the same problem in both directions. Whether the sender or the receiver is the root cause of the bad routing of messages doesn't matter: normal people text phone numbers, which are represented by contacts in their phone. Apple doesn't abide by this intent and instead prefers their own platform for messaging regardless of what the user(s) use or want. Whether I put your number and email on the same contact and my messages go to the wrong device or you stop using an iPhone and disconnect your iMessage from your phone doesn't matter—it's the same fundamental issue caused by nonobvious behavior of a proprietary system that pretends to be what the user expects it to be. This is what happens when you recycle the same UIs and metaphors (as a market dominance strategy, no less!) for two similar but separate and incompatible systems.

If we all didn't have a decade or so of experience text messaging before Apple built their own messaging platform, maybe this wouldn't be a problem. But here we are.
