> With just 32 bits of state, with AVX512 we can be running 512 copies of this in parallel if we like, per core! AKA, compute will not be the bottleneck.

How can the state machine be run in parallel, when the next state always has a dependency on the previous state?

Also, how exactly would the state register be decoded? After you XOR it with 4 bytes of input, it could be practically any of the 4.7 billion possible values, in the case of an unexpected place name.

And even for expected place names longer than 4 bytes, wouldn't they need several states each, to be properly distinguished from other names with a common prefix?
I've recently been looking into passkeys and it seems much simpler than this.
It depends on the department and the officer's mission. If they are having a ton of problems with human trafficking they will start using pre-textual stops to search for that. If you are assigned specifically to traffic they will focus on reckless driving, distracted driving, drunk driving, or whatever is the huge problem that week.

With regards to traffic infractions for self driving cars, I imagine that it would be an overall license for specific manufacturers or companies. If Waymo is causing problems then they could lose their license to operate in that jurisdiction. For personal vehicles like Teslas they would lose their personal license or just be plain banned from operating.
Most employment-based green cards for people already in the country require a fake job listing. If a company is willing to go through the trouble of sponsoring a green card for an existing employee, they are obviously not interested in hiring a replacement. But the government makes them pretend they are, because there are no other ways of keeping the employee.

There are some exceptions, such as EB-1s and tenure-track faculty positions, but fake job ads are the norm.

This reminds me of how things sometimes work in totalitarian states. Some everyday things are effectively impossible to do by the rules. The government does not enforce the rules, because it wants the activity to continue. But when they decide they don't like someone, they can start enforcing selectively and show that the undesirable person is breaking the law.
>I'm not aware of ants ever having conflicts within their own colonies.

If most humans were mindless drones easily controllable by pheromones or physical gesturing, there would be no inter-tribe conflicts either.

Also, it is highly likely that humans do have natural enemies. There is compelling evidence that human beings are evolutionarily predisposed to recognize snakes extremely quickly, faster than almost any other object, and electrically speaking faster than our conscious perception of them due to the immense threat they once posed (and still pose) to humans.
I don't think "tiredness" is a good word for the title. The type of symptoms experienced as post-exertional malaise is not really the same being sleepy.

I had chiseled abs. Trained Jiu-Jitsu 2 times per day 5 days per week as well as lifted weights, etc. My diet consisted heavily of fruits, veggies and lean meats. Nothing artificial. Only water, coffee, and an occasional pre-workout.

I lost my sense of smell and taste for ~6 months. Was in bed for 1 week, sleeping like 18 hours per day. Some foods still don't taste the same (mostly eggs and chicken).

This was about 2 days after I got the second dose of Moderna's vaccine.
"Ultrahigh-mobility semiconducting epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide" (2024)
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06811-0 :

> Semiconducting graphene plays an important part in graphene nanoelectronics because of the lack of an intrinsic bandgap in graphene1. In the past two decades, attempts to modify the bandgap either by quantum confinement or by chemical functionalization failed to produce viable semiconducting graphene. Here we demonstrate that semiconducting epigraphene (SEG) on single-crystal silicon carbide substrates has a band gap of 0.6 eV and room temperature mobilities exceeding 5,000 cm2 V−1 s−1, which is 10 times larger than that of silicon and 20 times larger than that of the other two-dimensional semiconductors. It is well known that when silicon evaporates from silicon carbide crystal surfaces, the carbon-rich surface crystallizes to produce graphene multilayers2. The first graphitic layer to form on the silicon-terminated face of SiC is an insulating epigraphene layer that is partially covalently bonded to the SiC surface [3]. Spectroscopic measurements of this buffer layer [4] demonstrated semiconducting signatures [4], but the mobilities of this layer were limited because of disorder5. Here we demonstrate a quasi-equilibrium annealing method that produces SEG (that is, a well-ordered buffer layer) on macroscopic atomically flat terraces. The SEG lattice is aligned with the SiC substrate. It is chemically, mechanically and thermally robust and can be patterned and seamlessly connected to semimetallic epigraphene using conventional semiconductor fabrication techniques. These essential properties make SEG suitable for nanoelectronics.

A friend is going through the ME/CFS "journey" in Canada right now. Apparently, to get disability for CFS, one needs to first apply for disability, which will be rejected. Then, one needs to be able to afford a lawyer to sue the government, which ultimately gets CFS recognized on a case-by-case basis to be debilitating. There are apparently a couple of clinics who specialize in CFS, but they're nearly impossible to access.

Scalable network reconstruction in subquadratic time
I was planning on releasing some extra features for gipeties.com, my directory of custom GPTs before the store launches. I’d better be quick now!!!

It is quite possible this will spell the end of GPTs directories but if they mess up with curation there might still be a space for them.
To be fair,I'm a bit burnout of project management also, so it's two birds with one stone.
My biggest peeve is pens that dry up or stop working. So I propose a category, "best pen for finding in your glove compartment."

I don't understand your point. The very article you cite states that Haugen (the Facebook whistle-blower) was praised by politicians from both sides.

On top of that whistleblowing is inherently political because it implies an individual reporting on a (typically) much larger and powerful organisation, for moral, ethical or legal reasons.

When I read statements like yours I always wonder about the motivation. What are you trying to achieve? Is this part of a covert campaign to discredit some inconvenient organisation?
This looks amazing. Neat and clean UI / UX.
You need to use adfitional methods. Tor was an NSA project.
Do you think it is possible to make it as a developer/sysadmin?
I think it’s a mixture of both, but using its ability to explore the physical world as the benchmark seems myopic because math can be used to describe universes other than our own. Our universe just happens to be the one we focus on because that part of mathematics is particularly interesting, but if anything it means the structures we put in place to manage that aspect are invented not discovered.

GPTs are essentially a proprietary moat-building of several open-source workflows, most especially system prompt engineering, tool-usage, and RAG.

Unfortunately there's no magic open-source solution since there's a lot of moving pieces involved that are bespoke to a given use case, and the ones that claim to be magic are libraries like LangChain, which aren't.
This is the appropriate place to share the following anecdote, which happened to a friend of mine (disclaimer - in the context of this comment and how I wrote it I assume you will immediately notice the red flags, but I assure you these are only obvious in hindsight)

My friend applied for, and got hired as, an external tester. The idea is: you get a web page and a task (e.g. order item xyz), you perform the task and you fill out a usability report, for example explaining which things you found obvious or where you ran into issues.
The gig went fine for a week or two with dozens of assignments per day for all kinds of things. Then one of the tasks included opening a bank account at Bank X. This went fine without an issue, and my friend had to use personal data to open that account. She didn’t think any of it - at this point the trust level was high and after all she was supposed to test from an end users perspective, so it kind of made sense to her.

Way later she was asked to apply for a loan, and she did. Of course she did not provide any personal details, but the data the company provided to her - but given how much time had passed she didn’t realize that these data were from the bank account she had opened in her own name.
The money arrived, the attackers took it and vanished.

As far as I can tell the scam was set up in a very sophisticated way, faking not only the job but the whole company, with the clear idea that only luring in one innocent person would be enough. And they succeeded.

The worst thing besides the financial damage is the shame that comes with it, the „I can’t believe this happened to me“ moment - which is why I share this here: scams can happen to anybody, including your friends who „should know better“, including you.
This close to launch and no information on how they'll audit GPTs. I just want to know their review process and how they'll enforce their usage policies, specifically regarding privacy (and GDPR compliancy).

How will they prevent a developer from sending and storing private information from their GPT to their server through APIs?

How will they prevent doxing? Such as a GPT posting hyperlinks that direct to a server owned by the developer that performs geolocation.
Interesting. It is like "rehab" for smelling.
I bought an unbranded drawing tablet a long time ago from a small Chinese company on Alibaba. The driver CD came with source code for the (Windows 3.11 and 9x) driver and configuration utility as well as a PDF describing the interface protocol (which used the serial port). I was pleasantly surprised but then realised that they likely did that because they only cared about selling the hardware and hadn't thought about wanting other user-hostile revenue streams (yet).

I would be fine without open sourcing drivers, but just releasing documentation (and perhaps fragments of demo code) but I suspect a lot of companies are reluctant to do either because they believe there is some secret sauce in the software. Otherwise they'd be more interested in outsourcing to the "community" to do the work for them for free.
> Is blocking the keywords really the solution to prevent spam?

Of course not, and as said in the article it's not even being used by the carriers to prevent spam, but rather to prevent what they consider "undesirable topics". I don't think it works amazing at that either of course.

> He would take back control of his businesses and then could look at who stayed at his hotels and who did business with his companies while he was president. If he wins this year he would then have that knowledge going into his next term.

This wasn't a concern for most presidents because no one has ever lost a presidential election after his first term and then won a subsequent election. Presidents typically serve all their time as president and then permanently leave office.

> The idea that putting the businesses in a blind trust would completely avoid any sort of knowledge is just ridiculous.

The idea is not to avoid all knowledge, but rather to eliminate influence (in either direction) between the president and the business. The president should have no more knowledge of the business than the public does.

An ethical president would have simply made a rule at the business that foreign government representatives stay at hotels he doesn't own. Instead, Trump steered them to his hotels.
Yet, the rise of quantum computers challenges traditional encryption methods due to their superior computational capabilities.

If you want to see how something like this might work, I made a fun project where I added a single board computer (SBC) into a keyboard. When you press the 'AI' button, the SBC would send inputs to the LLM on the SBC and output keystrokes to the PC. Demo below if you're curious.

Speeding is REALLY easy to prove. Most traffic cops have equipment that will accurately tell them your speed to the nearest tenth of a mph. Laser speed sensors are a dime a dozen now. The hard part is that in the USA you have to serve speeders and can't just mail them the ticket and revoke their license/registration if they don't pay it like they do in the UK.
Hindsight? When I test our app, I don't use my CC, I ask the company for one or for mock data that would pass through the production system.

> You can't control how much you want to toast the bread.

But it does let you control that. There's a knob for it.

I remember actual hardware terminals doing this. I also remember keeping it turned off, partially because it was slow (as many others have already said), but also because I felt weird when scrolling one line at a time. As I remember it, there was no ease-in or ease-out to the motion, but instant transitions from standing still to rolling speed to standing still again. Jerky.

Anyway, what I don't remember is: Could typical hardware terminals do this with a scroll region, or only with the whole screen? For a full-screen scroll, I suppose one could quite easily move everything by gradually offsetting the vertical sync a bit, but for a block of lines there would have to be something more complicated, like offsetting the input to the character generators for some scan lines. Is that what they did?

But technically, bringing Hubble to the Shuttle cargo bay doesn't change things much. Ok, the telescope isn't flying anywhere - but if you have a Soyuz nearby, you could also attach it to Hubble firmly enough, just as with Shuttle. And just as with Shuttle you can't avoid having to work with the instrument in spacesuits - since you can't bring Hubble into the pressurized environment where the spacesuits are not needed.

So, I don't know for sure how many technical details should be overcome for that mission to work - but in principle you at least can get to the Hubble with something different than the Shuttle. Today it could be the Crew Dragon, and 10 years ago it could be Soyuz.
Would Rosebud help in making consistent characters?

I tested out that example game. I asked her "do you like coffee", and Grandma replied "I despite coffee...". However, when you say "lets drink coffee" she says "Oh, absolutely! Let's drink coffee, my dear user. There's nothing I'd love more ..."

I don't use ChatGPT much myself, but I can see its potential if you can have consistent responses with "personalities"/"characters" for games.
Ah yes! For the Rails monolith the sparkey integration was accomplished through https://github.com/airbnb/hammerspace
Depends on the time you want the virtual shutter to be open. I agree with you it can get excessive if it gets too pronounced, but a long blur is also a visual indication a character jumped more than one line during the (virtual) screen refresh (virtual, because we want it to look consistent, regardless of refresh rate). It should also disappear before the characters settle into their grid.

I'm a cinema person, so, for me, 24 fps is the right framerate for everything.

Intelligence isn’t inevitable nor is it a sure bet to be kept around long term. Its just another phenotype.
Yes, and the reason for this is the tests in the hospital and qualified/validated. That is to say, they undergo much more stringent quality checks before they make a positive (IE, predict that you have a dangerous mutation) because the cost of false positives is extremely high.
Maybe I am really missing something seeing how other comments didnt mention it, but is this REALLY explaining how OIDC works? I don't see it.

From the author, two papers in BMJ Nutrition:

https://nutrition.bmj.com/content/6/1/46

"Insights from a general practice service evaluation supporting a lower carbohydrate diet in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and prediabetes: a secondary analysis of routine clinic data including HbA1c, weight and prescribing over 6 years"

"What predicts drug-free type 2 diabetes remission? Insights from an 8-year general practice service evaluation of a lower carbohydrate diet with weight loss"
On the AuthN side, it seems to be... fine? For AuthZ, things are not surprisingly outsourced heavily to the application side. I'm not clear on how I would want that to be any different, all told. Last thing I, personally, want to deal with is an annotation style setup to control who can do what. I am luckily working with something where we can have pretty easy definitions on who can do what.

I would love to hear more of the foot guns, though. Not trying to deny they exist.
> For those asking "why handwriting in 2024?", the paper has no notifications or web browser to distract you. It's just your own thoughts on the page.

Unfortunately, many (MANY) people have terrible (unpracticed) handwriting and view the activity as a means to an end rather than something worth doing for fun.

Everyone comments on how good my handwriting is. In response, I usually say that I "stole" someone's handwriting back in the 5th grade. The truth is that I really liked their handwriting and copied theirs over and over until I matched (and eventually exceeded) theirs years later. Same with cursive (which I can still write).

Conversely, most folks do handwriting drills in kindergarten/1st grade (US) and stop there.

I think everyone can learn how to write well, but it requires a ton of practice. Given that everything is done digitally these days, many would rather just type it out.
Do you have any examples? The few states I just read through (Washington, New York, Colorado) have explicit carveouts for the situation you're describing as long as they had no professional obligation to the patient.

Here's Colorado's:

> Any person licensed as a physician and surgeon under the laws of the state of Colorado, or any other person, who in good faith renders emergency care or emergency assistance to a person not presently his patient without compensation at the place of an emergency or accident, including a health care institution as defined in section 13-64-202 (3), shall not be liable for any civil damages for acts or omissions made in good faith as a result of the rendering of such emergency care or emergency assistance during the emergency, unless the acts or omissions were grossly negligent or willful and wanton. This section shall not apply to any person who renders such emergency care or emergency assistance to a patient he is otherwise obligated to cover.
