That really depends on how you define civilization.

If by civilized you mean people have a roof over their head, communities of some size that work together, trade, etc sure there's a version of that which doesn't have a massive environmental impact.

If civilization includes huge city centers, centralized agriculture, broad reaching industries, centralized power distribution, regular air travel, etc then no I can't personally see that being done without massive impact.

My personal opinion is that centralized industry and infrastructure is a lynchpin in massive environmental impact. I don't think we can have the former without the latter.

Don't need all that. Think smaller communities. Eg: my neighborhood can use this to schedule grocery with a smaller group. The trust is there and there is no need to attract drivers. So this big shared menu means only one person goes to Market Basket and buys lots of stuff. Then we all just walk over to Steve's to get our groceries.

Do they really offer diversification and are they really uncorrelated? See http://universa.net/Universa_Spitznagel_SafeHaven_HedgeFunds...

I particularly like this quote as a summary:

> Hedge funds would appear to have lost whatever ability they may have once had to provide risk mitigation value (which, let’s face it, wasn’t very much). Hedge funds just don’t effectively hedge anything; worse yet, perhaps they have even lost sight of that very objective in the first place. They are without a purpose.

I am _not_ a doomer, by any mean, not at least in the "I'm right and you're all gonna die soon" sense. Yet, one has to acknowledge the factual correctness of this article. I also don't believe that "technology" will save us here. Actually, I think that techno-solutionism is one of the main threat at play here.

What most techno-solutionists don't see in their own rhetoric is that, while our technological prowess makes us a lot more capable of tackling those challenges than in the past, the same technological prowess makes us also much less likely to miscalculate the threat that we're under.

Techno-solutionism is a stance held mostly by two groups: (1) highly educated STEM people with a huge conflict of interest to make technology _the_ solution, and (2) poorly educated people who don't want to hear about the problem, and figure that "technology has saved us from diabetes, bacterial infections, polio and so many other threats, this will surely happen again".

The problem here is that the first group has Dunning-Kruger understanding of the global situation, because they are both uninterested in the actual solution and too interested in the non-solution, while the second group doesn't understand shit of what's going on* and doesn't trust anyone anymore.

So, while I am not inclined to say we're doomed, I have to admit that the current dynamics don't play in our favor.

[*] The best clue of that might be that lots of them don't see any contradiction in thinking that technology will save us from whatever comes next, while refusing to vaccinate their kids against the disease with the most awful lethality/preventability ratio: tetanus.

I think that fraud prevention is mostly the wrong approach. Instead they should let the frauds happen, then track the fraudster and send the police to arrest them. Normal prevention just means the criminal has to keep trying until it works. Tracking the money after means that criminals will never know if the next knock at their door will be the police.
Hedge fund clients are mainly institutionals, not individuals, you obviously won't find "Oklahoma Pension Fund's Mansion".

Also, most hedge funds have either a "pass through costs /performance fees", or "management/performance fees" (generally at 2/20%). Meaning they earn money on the absolute returns they make for their clients.

But if you want to believe that the world is dumb and hedge fund managers earn money through clueless clients, sure. You might also want to checkout the arguments of flat earthers, it's in the same vein.

> One of the things it mentions is the bike crash, there was an investigation but they couldn't find proof for it being anything other than an accident.

This is one of those things that are unknowable by the general public. It may have genuinely been an accident, but it may also have been an assassination. In both cases it is possible, even likely and expected, that the official account be the same.

A little potential snag in the story, though: "Nothing points to foul play, the Volkskrant said after speaking with people at the crash scene. Though, an anonymous MIVD employee told the newspaper that Van Sabben “paid a high price”" [1]. Perhaps that's there in the original piece you linked to: "‘Hij heeft een hoge prijs betaald’, klonk het bij de MIVD."

Phone locks are mostly a protection against accidental loss (self inflicted or stolen).

But sometimes that's not worth the hassle. E.g. I disabled locks while my car was running.

The tradeoff is IMHO well worth it as I immediately take the phone from the car should I leave. So the overall risk is minimal. Yet should it ever distract me then that's a big issue.

And not being reachable was also not an option given family circumstances at that time.

It's just a risk vs. benefit tradeoff. And that's a very personal judgment call.
With the argument being that working on farms will be a necessity, I assume the ones getting to live would be the ones willing and able to work on a farm.
Ugh. Sorry to hear that. I use 1Password for TFA, and I haven't had to use an app.

When I first run an app, and it asks for access to camera, microphone, photos, calendar, contacts, and location, I tend to immediately plonk it; regardless of its purpose.

I have a PMB, and the store has an app that uses the phone to unlock the door, after hours.

There is a keypad, but that hasn't actually worked, in months, and the store has ignored my reports.

I just go there, during business hours, even though it's inconvenient.

> You can sandbox desktop apps

You can do a lot of things in theory, but in practice browsers are much better sandboxes than desktop operating systems.

> a browser that is so complex that nobody can even imagine writing a new one.

I'm not sure how this is relevant? As a user I don't care how complex a browser is. I care that it sandboxes applications better than my desktop operating system. Unless you mean to say that the complexity implies a greater surface area for security related bugs, in which case surely the underlying os is even more complex (which is what native apps run on). I would imagine writing a new desktop os would be even more complex than writing a browser app that runs on top of it.

> For instance Android does that sandboxing by default.

Ok, so now we're talking about mobile operating systems rather than desktop operating systems, which to me feels like an implicit concession that desktop operating systems are indeed bad at sandboxing applications.

But even if we do shift the goalposts — even mobile operating systems pale in comparison to a web browser when it comes to sandboxing. Android and iOS will notify you if an app reads from the clipboard (which they've only recently started doing), but your browser won't just notify you, it'll ask you to confirm before a website reads from the clipboard. A website can't even make a request to a third party domain unless the website has cors enabled. And new vulnerabilities pop up all the time. There was an article that generated a lot of traction on HN just a few weeks ago about how certain iOS applications can pinpoint your location by scanning for known hot spots your device has access to [1].

I support any progress to erode the Nvidia monopoly.

That said from what I'm seeing here the free and open source (less other aspects of the CUDA stack, of course) TensorRT-LLM[0] almost certainly bests this implementation using the Nvidia hardware they reference for comparison. Compare to real (datacenter) Nvidia GPUs that aren't three years old and prepare to get your hair blown back.

I don't have an A6000 but as an example with the tensorrt_llm backend for Nvidia Triton Inference Server (also free and open source) I get roughly 30 req/s with Mistral 7B on my RTX 4090 with significantly lower latency and I'm in the early stages of tuning. Comparison benchmarks are tough, especially when published benchmarks like these are fairly scant on the real details.

TensorRT-LLM has only been public for a few months and if you peruse the docs, PRs, etc you'll see they have many more optimizations in the works.

In typical Nvidia fashion TensorRT-LLM runs on any Nvidia GPU (from laptop to datacenter) going back to Turing (five year old cards) assuming you have the VRAM. It even works on their Jetson line of hardware.

You can download and run this today, free and "open source" for these implementations at least. I'm extremely skeptical of the claim "MK1 Flywheel has the Best Throughput and Latency for LLM Inference on NVIDIA". You'll note they compare to vLLM, which is an excellent and incredible project but if you look at vLLM vs Triton w/ TensorRT-LLM the performance improvements are dramatic.

Of course it's the latest and greatest ($$$$$$ and unobtanium) but one look at H100/H200 performance[3] and you can see what happens when the vendor has a robust software ecosystem to help sell their hardware. Pay the Nvidia tax on the frontend for the hardware, get it back and then some as a dividend via the software especially when anything close (assuming this even is) is another paid product/SaaS/whatever their monetization strategy is.

At the risk of this turning into an Nvidia sales pitch Triton will do the same thing for absolutely any model via the ONNX, TensorRT, Pytorch, Tensorflow, OpenVINO, etc backends.

I have an implementation generating embeddings via bge-large-v1.5 that's also the fastest thing out there. Same for Whisper, vision models, whatever you want.

I feel like MK1 must be aware of TensorRT-LLM/Triton but of course those comparison benchmarks won't help sell their startup.

Ah that makes sense. I think what you're looking for is the ability to mention records rather than to embed them, or both.

As for the switching to mobile scenario, it also makes sense. I'll think about this, it might be a button that allows you to "force sync" everything.

>Freedom of speak doesn't mean freedom of consequences.

Actually, freedom from consequences (of speech, which doesn't include every utterance, but certainly does include constructive criticism) is exactly what freedom of speech means.

I was born in communist Czechoslovakia. Many westerners don't understand how the system worked. In the 70s and 80s, if you were critical of the government, you would often simply lose your job. Which usually meant only menial or other low level jobs would be available for you.

I think the communist party would love that slogan. Nominally, CSSR had a freedom of speech (it accepted Declaration of Human Rights). But, yeah, consequences.. like losing a job.

I think speed in cars is a bit of an outlier, as generally people are driving at (or above) the speed limit, and knowing precisely how fast you’re going is useful to that end. Additionally, since speed limits usually end in 0 or 5, you don’t really have to parse the number as a number per se (as in, I don’t have to do a gt/lt check), you only have to recognize some shapes.

One area (other than jets, as a sibling comment mentioned) where the careful blend of meters and numbers has been used to great effect is on military submarines. I’ve stood watch as a nuclear reactor operator on both ancient tech with full analog gauges, as well as full digital, LCDs only, with a blend of data presentation. I can tell you with absolute certainty that having metrics in graph form is far easier to instantly grasp with a quick scan across panels. At the same time, the values are displayed next to it should you need or want that info.

But for steady-state info? All pointers in the green area means everything is copacetic.
European intelligence services are definitely capable, and the Dutch AIVD is highly regarded for its cyber capabilities.

In a proper functioning democracy at least the prime minister should know what intelligence services are up to. As those politicians are ultimately responsible. It’s not that intelligence services are independent lawless sub-states.

Yes, it could have been considered an act of war, and have caused major issues. There's a parliamentary commission that's responsible for controlling the Dutch intelligence services, consisting out of the leaders of the 5 biggest parties in parliament. The fact that they weren't informed is a scandal.

I don't think the AIVD has been criticized for being ineffective, if anything the other way around.

I'm always suspicious when politicians use the phrase "no evidence" or "there's no intention to". They're essentially meaningless as the "no evidence" could easily be due to no-one investigating the issue although it's slightly better if the amount of investigation has been clarified.
