The bug bounties are usually pretty clear that you aren't allowed to make changes in the production systems. Here they made many changes - including changing the name of a release.

The bug bounties also prefer seeing a working attack instead of theoretical reports. So not sure how they could have tested their attack in this situation without making actual changes.
> please correct me if I'm wrong, was that they tried to control it's alignment through the contextual model prompt it was given

What's the role of RILHF in all this? As far as i know, this is equally key to aligning the model with a specific IO mode (e.g. "conversation") as well as specific values.
In the US there are lots of long 3-4 lane highway stretches where this is perfectly fine. Also we already see this on mountain ascents. Plenty of times I have seen trucks climbing a pass at 30-45mph in the right lane and cars zipping up it at 80mph in the left lane.
It’s quite a bit more nuanced than that. Businesses only want to pay because it costs less than the damage done to the brand and/or lawsuits from users/data controllers. They don’t want to pay more than that. Researchers need money and are able to sell the fruits of their research to whomever they want. Generally, good-natured people will especially see if the bounty is worth it. It’s clean money, so it has additional value vs. selling it on the black market.

So, as you can hopefully see, it is a balancing act between all parties.
Edit: See comment below. The first fire was a fully electric bus, not a hybrid.

I think it might be this hybrid but I could not find a confirmation [0].

Why would a language need a specific reason to exist? It's a nice language with Ruby-ish syntax, strict typing, a go-like runtime and it compiles down to something quite fast if you take a little bit of care.
A reddit thread with anecdotes from EV owners during this cold snap:

General consensus was that while some models lost ~40% of their range, the cars were more than adequate for getting around the city, even when parked on the street overnight.
And I think people don't like functional programming languages because they don't like recursion. Even cookbooks use loops!

I ended up having time to do a quick test with 4 characters per pixel (i.e. RGBA but no bit-packing) before taking my kids to their first D&D experience:

• Romeo and Juliet source text: 146,706 bytes/136,684 chars
• ZIP of source text: 58,696 bytes
• PNG as created by Bun/pngjs: 128,754 bytes, 181px square
– https://imgur.com/a/8IRR4Az
• Further smooshed by ImageOptim: 84,789 bytes

So, no joy. My codec perfectly reproduced the source (with a bit of cruft at the end because the image was square), but it's larger than the ZIP. I don't think adding bit-packing would help much. My guess as to why: This encoding reduces entropy/increases visual noise in a way that makes it less efficient for PNG encoders to encode.

If you Ctrl+F for my other responses in the thread, you'll see that I'm not advocating for psychs-solve-everything. I think a reasonable interpretation is that gavinray was giving their personal experience, not making a sweeping scientific claim. It would be like if I read a book that gave me a perspective on racism I had never thought of before, and I said "this book is great at showing you how racism is absurd!" It's not the kind of claim you would jump on and ask for a scientific study. In general, it's a good idea to take the most charitable version of what someone says, because people aren't always perfectly precise in their language.

I agree, though I either don't see (or I see and misperceive) many examples of people mistaking the utilitarian result for the politically acceptable one.
> Buy a "return to sender" stamp, apply it to the mail and give it back to the post carrier.

You can't. It doesn't work. (USPS) Most of the junk mail we receive is presort, bulk rate, etc., and there's no return service for it. The letter carrier will reject it and give it back to you. You can throw it out. You can write to the sender (email/post) and request removal from their list.

One problem I get, is that I've "gone paperless" everywhere possible, yet some entities still insist on sending paper mail in certain circumstances. These are very important bits of correspondence, and I can't seem to get across the message that I don't want their paper shit. In one case I've received physical membership cards, and one of them was stolen from my mailbox (somewhere after Informed Delivery scanned it, even.) But they can't administratively prevent these mailings from being triggered.

Really? How does anyone get that. I've only seen murder with a car worth 90 days in jail and loss of the car.
Sounds like you and I are actually in agreement here. It's not regularly-distributed but still occasional glitches I'd be worried about, it's the modes of total failure. Or as I like to put it: "gadgets break".

This is called "augmented Intelligence": https://www.cognilytica.com/ai-today-podcast-020-augmented-i...
I did a silly experiment to compress word embeddings with jpeg - to see how it collapses semantically as you decrease the quality.

https://bochs.info/vec2jpg/

This was a very basic experiment. I expect you could perform the DCT more intelligently on the vector dimensions instead of trying to pack the embeddings into pixels, and get higher quality semantic compression.
Yes, but if I posted a whole treatise on why helicopters can't work to YouTube, I'd be laughed off the Internet; and rightly so.

Waymo'e existence as a working taxi service proves self driving cars are very much possible, even if the market is limited to sections of Phoenix, San Francisco, and soon parts of LA and San Antonio, so a story claiming never, for something that already exists today, seems shortsighted.

Another video that could exist is titled "why you'll never own a Ferrari". We then get into semantics as why you'll never own one is different than they don't exist, but I've seen Ferraris so I know they exist, and a video saying I'll never own one is a depressing look at why I'm not offensively rich, rather Ferraris not actually existing.

Point is, self driving car technology is here and providing value to a tiny group of people. Google is scaling up as fast as they can. Whether you'll get one is an implementation detail.

Half a liter is ⅔ of a standard bottle of wine. Even if it is only 11% ABV, this still equates to 55 ml of ethanol. An average 14 year old male weighs 112 lbs, about 70% of an adult’s size.

So if we extrapolate linearly, 55 ml of ethanol would be equivalent to 78 ml of ethanol for an adult, which is 6.5 shots, assuming a 1 oz shot

>Didn't Nintendo just DMCA the Portal64 project via Valve/Steam?

No, Valve's legal team reached out to the creator and became worried when they learned that the project uses libultra from the leaked n64 sdk from Nintendo. To avoid any potential legal problems Valve asked the creator of Portal 64 to shut it down.

>using his tools/code

It required pirating Nintendo's N64 SDK in order to build. These decompilation projects don't require the SDK, but as my my original comment suggests they do contain code that is a derivative work of libraries from the SDK.
Rsync's name might be a little misleading. It doesn't attempt to sync the directories unless you ask it to, aka just copy. However I remember studies from a while ago showing that rsync actually performs worse than cp/scp under certain circumstances. May that's something you can try to address

I would also guess that percentage of housing units would be substantially higher if you limited it to homes also owned by people with cars. Both because owning a garage is a lot more desirable if you have a car and homes with garages are in places where people need to drive to get around: there are millions of people in major cities who own neither and have no need for a car.
Thanks! I appreciate the response.
> I park on the street and can charge overnight easily and cheaply [..]

Q: How much do you pay to charge on-street?
Trucks pay for more than air resistance though. Last I talked to a trucker their computer was set at 68mph because the company had data showing that was the most efficient speed. Engines get more fuel efficient the more load they are under. There is also the constant load of the lights. With autonomous trucks the computer/sensors is source of constant load.
> In cold climates, EVs should absolutely include a propane tank to generate passenger heat

I believe some EV buses are heated with propane or heating oil, so it would probably be feasible to add to personal vehicles as well.
The base load is nuclear but it isnt necessarily cheap.

The government tried to take away the hydro subsidies a couple years ago and a bunch of people who live in the middle of no where and use baseboard heating lost their shit so the government went right back to subsidizing it.
Almost certainly one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_Metrodecker , based on the details in the story. Full battery bus, not a hybrid. Been around for 10 years, so probably unlikely to be LFP.

I'll take your word for it (not being an American and only having visited NYC once), but even then most of the rules of the road are… not perfectly enforced. I suspect if the rules were perfectly enforced, the only humans allowed to drive would be those who actually don't.

I suspect — no, I hope — that anyone who admits in advance that they intend to break the rules, won't get a license.
I think it would be unlikely as:

1. Restarting the production line is costly and expensive.
Last unit was produced in 2024 - 20 years ago. I don't even know if Boeing still maintains the parts and the know-how to ramp up production.

2. They already have the 737 MAX in the books for sales and commitment.

3. 757 suffers the same problem as the 737NG did - it would need to be re-designed so that it would be competitive with the A321 NEO and that also requires re-certification process.

4. You would need to also train up the 737 pilots to fly the 757.

5. 757 requires bigger gate space, so that poses logistics challenges for airports.

6. The root problem isn't the 737 MAX, but the cultural rot that was embedded by the Boeing leadership (McNerney - surprise, surprise - who's never worked in engineering function and started as a McKinsey consultant).
This isn't really a fundamental disagreement. If we think of array functions as functions `Array<Index1, Element1> → Array<Index2, Element2>`, then essentially all you need to be able to say is that a function is generic over `Index1` and calculates some output index type `Index2` as a function of `Index1`. This is perfectly possible to do with Rust traits or Haskell type classes (although not all that ergonomic).

When I remember to update https://build-100-websites.fun/ with my recent antics (whew it's been a while), I like to write it in raw HTML just so I remember why I never ever do that anywhere else.

My typical tool of choice for static sites and plain old prototyping remains Hugo, which rounds out at least half a dozen other websites I'm the sole contributor to right now, like https://hiandrewquinn.github.io/selkouutiset-archive/. Like everything you have to amortize the one time cost of learning it over the n times you use it. If you only ever make one website, raw HTML might be fine -- if you're trying to make 100, some experimentation might be worthwhile.
First Past The Post is the cause of many of the political ills in the United States, and I used to think RCV was the answer. But it is a disaster:

1. The rate of spoiled ballots goes way up, and disproportionately so in lower-income areas (https://rangevoting.org/SPRates.html#minn). Suppressing 3 to 5% of the vote in poor districts would be devastating; the winning margin is smaller than that in lots of elections.

2. With RCV, sometimes voting for someone you like will make them lose (https://rangevoting.org/ClayIrv2.html).

3. RCV doesn't break us out of two-party dominance. Once a third-party candidate gains more support, they can still be a spoiler under RCV, forcing you to choose between the lesser of two evils.

4. Audits are essential to ensure an accurate count, but RCV makes them vastly more difficult because you can't add up the votes from smaller districts to get the overall result.

5. Let's have voting machine companies write more unreviewed proprietary software and make it more complicated, that sounds like a great idea!

There's a much better method that actually does help us escape two-party rule. It's simple, cheap, well-tested, accessible, easy to understand, and doesn't even require changing any ballots or software. That method is Approval Voting (https://electionscience.org/library/approval-voting-versus-i...). Simply:

• Use the same ballots as we do today

• Let people vote for all the candidates they like

• Count all the votes

Done. No new ballots, no new procedures, no new software, and extremely simple to explain to voters.

Here's the intuition for why this works. When you vote using the current system, expressing support for one candidate requires you to withdraw your support from another candidate. RCV is the same in that you can only have one first choice: if you want to rank one candidate higher, you must rank another candidate lower. That's what keeps you from voting for your true favourite. With Approval Voting, your decisions about each individual candidate are fully independent: how you vote on one candidate has no effect on any other candidate. So you can express your full support for your favourite without harming the "lesser evil" candidate.

RCV is frequently criticized by mathematicians and economists, who are familiar with its many problems. This is one of those uncommon situations where the theorists and pragmatists agree: Approval is better from both perspectives.

You may very well be right, but in wind heavy generation markets, intuitively it feels like there's a good potential fit. And startups like Form Energy claim to have done extensive market modeling such that they think their air-iron battery can come in at the right cost.

Yep, and efficiently using the human driver is probably a part of that calculation, nudging it upwards.
I've been using Material Files for a couple years now. I use SMB and SFTP access every day. I also use the FTP server to backup my devices once a month. It's a bit slow but still faster and more reliable than using USB! (I don't know why USB support is so bad on Android, transferring thousands of small files is unbearable. Maybe some devices have better support? Maybe it would work better if I used ADB?)

I used to get it from F-Droid but I'm very thankful that the author took the time to put it on the regular app store as well, it's very convenient!
This is true, you will also be constipated and have an epic time on the toilet. MREs are designed for people in survival conditions and if you aren't, it'll be a fun ride. But they are the most calorie dense way to store ready to go food for an unknown situation, if that's what you need.

It's not only that, many Europeans have houses in Portugal. Some have summer houses, others retire to a better climate.

Many well-off South Americans move or retire in Portugal too, because of climate and safety.

I guess it adds up. I can see a similar pattern in Brazil: nicer seaside towns are getting more expensive as the population ages and retirees search for nicer places to live.
I agree that a open car concept would be hard to bootstrap. It wouldn't surprise me if we're talking about $3-4bn to get to where it becomes a pure manufacturing problem and evolution can drive itself. That is, you just need to be able to prove that the critical parts someone manufactures are within spec.

If I had that kind of money lying around I'd probably initially focus on funding projects in academia in collaboration with regulatory and certification bodies. There are already (largely pointless) academic programs to design and build race cars. It should be possible to interest academia in doing something vaguely productive instead.
Like collaborating on designing a platform for cheap mobility.

As for simplicity and scale: simplicity is absolutely a requirement for cost efficient scalability. To see how incredibly important this across disciplines, have a peek at "How Big Things Get Done" by Bent Flyvbjerg.

> The vast vast vast majority of people who own outdoor cats are not doing it for rodent control.

Where I live on the country side cats hunting mice and rat is like the first or second argument for having them when speaking to the owners. Of my 6 neighbors, three have cats, so I don't have to though.

When I lived in the city, the cat owners were complaining the cats caught mice, not bragging. But city houses also take damage from mice, so I guess it might be a mindset thing.
Just how big of a footprint does a staircase take up?
Obviously, I can't study the whole database, and give percentages, but in practice most “images of CSAM” are either semi-professional or amateur photos of naked kids and teens in studio or home environments. Most likely with an ever-growing flood of selfies recently. Sometimes with sexual acts. I know we've all been going in a strange direction, but a naked body is still not a “traumatizing experience”. Regular person seeing that content for weeks only gets bored, and probably realizes that regular adult exploitation in entertainment is hardly any different (both meanings of “adult” here), which is actually a good development.

However, you got used to cheap thrills coming from stories about “horrors out there” (whether digitally far away in some “darknet”, or geographically, in some “third world country”), and your imagination has already drawn you a picture of countless maniacs recreating slasher movie scenes (“life imitates art”?). It is simply logistically impossible to create that much, not to mention that criminals are not in a hurry to film themselves.

As for “shootings” (an American term for media spectacle in which murders are just seeds), many of those have been causally televised for entertainment purposes. I recall some high profile “shooting” even involved some president showing an example of how all good citizens should consume that content in front of TV screens.
It is so hard not to feel REALLY SMUG reading stuff like this, as someone who has run my own website as the working primary source for my college instruction for the past 15 years or so using https://zim-wiki.org. (before Markdown was much of a thing!)

The Art of True Happiness
This. When it comes to serious use I wouldn't trust anybody who doesn't bother to invest a lot of time to actually learn the system anyway. IMO Windows servers are not easier to learn than Linux servers, quite the contrary actually, but I'm a bit biased since my personal computer runs Linux too.

In my experience the choice is usually made by the familiarity rather than ideology. Windows server can definitely be a better choice if they already successfully use it. And that's the case even if a Linux based server would be actually better for their use case based on some arbitrary metrics. Some are so ideologically challenged that they use both and see no problem.
