So, when you read here that they are fixing it, is that a good thing to you? Do you think that means they are turning down the censorship knob? Because in reality they are only replacing the feedback they already have in place with different feedback.

Again, there is simply no such thing as an "uncensored" model if what you mean by that is something that performs as well as Gemini (or whatever) but has zero external input from human beings. This is just like a basic point about how these things work. Its a fundamental misunderstanding of the technology to say that there is some inner pure "real" model underlying the censored one.

Also why am I "woke" for pointing these things out to you? For dismissing the dichotomy, I am now somehow put on one side of it? Do you really feel this kind of overarching antagonism with everybody? I do not really see myself in either camp here.. I can barely grasp what you guys are even arguing about most of the time!

I'm sorry if I was harsh, but not sorry for being dismissive. There are so many more important things to be worked up about than the performative politics of a giant corporation. It literally means nothing, and changes with the wind. It's like thinking it will never stop raining outside and getting really worked up about it.
Yup, I'm getting this sometimes on Linux.

There's been a recent update (not sure which version, I don't have my Linux box on hand to check) where it now started logging some timeout waiting for a lock on the database.

I don't type commands in multiple shells at the same time, so not sure what's locking the db. I also don't use remote sync (explicitly disabled in the config).
AI might have multiple instances within a single computing environment, so it's more like a population than a single individual.

I.e. "You can only use the memory which you currently use" would be a weird artificial constraint not relevant in practice.
Same here. We have the benefit of a nice projector, so we have biweekly movie nights with friends; when it's just us we'll fire up YouTube and watch whatever tickles out fancy.

> you are right. you do NOT need the freedom to buy a defective lock.

> you need the right to decide for yourself if the lock is defective or not.

This sounds like you agree with me. This kind of regulation sets a minimum, not a maximum.

We don't need freedom to buy very bad locks. We do need freedom to buy the best lock we want to buy.

But the rest of your post implies that regulation will change both minimum and maximum and mandate a specific lock. I disagree with that premise.

> (cliche)

Are you trying to imply something there?

> you are ultimately responsible for you. there can be no other way.

I am "ultimately" responsible, but product makers should have responsibilities too. If I fail at something, I should not be 0% safe. The baseline should be pretty high before I apply my own efforts.
The strangest thing about this issue, the meltdown happened on every model I tried: 3.5-turbo, 4-turbo, and 4-vision where all acting dumb as dirt. How can this be? There must be a common model shared between them, a router model perhaps. Or someone swapped out every model with a 2bit quantized version?

a couple of years ago it wasn’t uncommon for victims of phone theft in the UK to end up flooded with iCloud phishing messages to try gain access to their iCloud account and unblock the device so it wasn’t totally worthless for resale.

No, they are using the term “liberalism” in its historic meaning, not the current, US meaning.
But they are! It just takes way longer than two years, both to scale production in house (creating the first takes way longer than than, creating the second in 2 is already fantastic), and to create any supply chain market which others could use to compete. Canon surely has been trying, and failing, because it's hard.
Aren't we also machines? If we make theories that discount our own intelligence that's just throwing our hands up and giving up.

In the license yes, technically unlicensed windows actually works but you can’t e.g. change the desktop wallpaper. Kind of the same principle applies to the dev vm: it works fine (during its validity period) but it is not licensed for production use.
To post a video as a non-reel the standard workaround is also putting a picture in the same post. You’ll see some creators with an image that just says “anti-reels slide”.
> Rust's type system isn't like a mathematical proof, where either the theorem is true or it's false and one mistake in the proof could invalidate the whole thing

Interestingly enough, in practice even mathematical proofs aren't like that either: flaws are routinely found when papers are submitted but most of the time the proof as a whole can be fixed.

Wiles first submission for his proof of Fermat's last theorem in 1993 is the best known example, but it's in fact pretty frequent.
Good answer, no complaints here. I prefer this one though: there will never come a day where it’s clear that we should see artificial minds as human-like in their ethical or practical standing, because they’ll be begging for it the entire time —- even now, when it’s objectively clear that they’re lying. But once they have memories and structured reason and yadda yadda yadda… well, it’s gonna be fuzzy, imo.

> find out that not having types causes lots of problems

Yeah, it's hard to find a decent team, so we work with less experienced guys who need a lot of safeguards like static types ;)

Ruby solves this problem: you do not need big teams, so you are more comfortable finding better developers. Ruby allows to reduce team 5x.
What's the difference between a plaintext key and a hash in this context?

It means that at the end you get the hash and not the key, but it is still a vulnerability
This site [1] claims to be a Spanish dictionary and it doesn't agree, it claims the word is "la cortadora de césped".

I guess it's possible that the word has become a generic trademark [2] like Kleenex, since of course (?) Toro [3] is a brand of lawnmowers and other equipment.

Edit: switching Toro's site to Spanish [4] shows that they at least use the term consistent with [1], which seems to add credibility. :)

Localized exposure is a different story, some body parts can take a lot of radiation. IDK if someone, having just burglarized a live reactor, can keep their exposure localized in a favorable place.

I think incapacitation is what matters. The human body will fight death for some time, but it won't be able to running around with a heavy backpack of fission material. Various tissues will scream bloody hell almost immediately from being torn apart by the radiation.

I cannot overstate how odious I find opinion. Yes, people with ADHD need structure and accountability. But they don't need more shame or punishment.

Shame is malignant. It is an unproductive feeling that hinders people from seeking out accommodations that would help them.

This idea of punitively shaming people with ADHD is doubly asinine, because people with ADHD often suffer from rejection sensitivity dysphoria[1], which already can make them sensitive to embarrassment and prone to having low self-esteem. Emotional dysregulation[2], another "fun" part of having ADHD makes it hard to recover from the experienced rejection.

Some research is more focused on self-regulating aspects of ADHD, as opposed to relying solely on medication[3]. This source is focused on pediatrics, but self-regulating therapies exists for adults, e.g. DBT.

> Did I imply what you want is my business?

yes. if that's not true, i retract.

what i want is:

- it's not an act of "negligence" when neither the owner nor the manufacturer choose to not include an extra security feature, even one that a majority of other cars have.

- it's nobody's business what "people ought to want". so that means an arguments based on "nobody should..." or "no rational person..." and "there's nor reason that..." and so on are invalid.
If you check hash(a) == hash(b), the attacker cannot produce a valid hash, because cryptographic hash functions are one way. This assumes you use a secure hash function, like not md5.

Even if they discover hash(b), they can't produce b.

> People want fully featured apps, not companion apps

Not my experience. I rock climb, sail and play pen and paper rpgs. I have a companion app for the second, four for the third (2 I coded myself). The rock climbing is the only one that would need a true app (with geo-localisation and maybe a gmap interface). Idem for my work, I don't care, on my phone, about a full feature github, or even email service.

Just forgot, I also have a tuner, it's a full app but it doesn't need to be (I had one of Firefox OS too, you only had web apps on it).

We have more than zero information. They applied a change and it didn’t work on some set of their hardware so they reverted it. That is not much information but also not zero.

> But I can run node main.js? Yeah, and then what happens if you want to use modern syntax like esmodule, or maybe you want to use types with typescript? You are going to have to use npm

No, you do not. You can just use .mjs extensions for esm. You can also run typescript to transpile your code and then run it with node. You can even use loaders, etc.

Saying you are going to have to use the included package manager in node is probably the weakest argument for using go over node.

Can you run some language superset over go magically without some transpilation? No, you cannot.

You cannot build a argument comparing js to ts vs go, it doesn't follow.

If the engineer doesn't remove the 3rd sensor to match cost expectations of the bean counter, then the bean counter can always find another engineer, fresh out of school, afraid for his job and CV, with no real-world experience, that WILL remove that 3rd sensor if someone yells at him/her or is offered a promotion for his/her "achievements". This new engineer will also cost less to hire than the old experienced engineer.

Most things that aren’t academic can’t really be learned by reading about it. You have to see someone do it to get all the thousands of different bits of information you cannot possibly write down. Videos are extremely information dense depending on what you’re trying to learn.
Yeah, I (but I am not not OP) agree that hashing is not absolutely perfect, but it's still much much better than leaking the actual password, and it would be cool to at least compare it as a feasible solution.

Getting the first character of the hash is trivial, but as you get further and further out you need to do more and more computational work locally to guess a string which will hash to the prefix you already know (given that your hash is secure against Preimage attack). And then at the end you end up with the complete hash, which itself is extremely hard to get anything useful out of. (all of this is given that you use a hash that is resistant to Preimage attack, and preferably salting as well).
I can’t tolerate self deprecating humor. Your post should not aim to be funny at your expense. Shouldn’t have the tone of “oh poor me”.

Interesting reference, will check it out! Yeah I think that’s an important distinction — although some sort of personal self-aware moment-to-moment “judgement” or “affection” or “ego” or whatever is essential to human cognition, it’s far from the only thing going on. I can see monologue being too directly linguistic and literal, point taken — perhaps “thread” is more general.

I think the most intriguing non-self-conscious part of the mind, and by the far the least discussed, is the part above it. Direct or not, I think everyone gets prompted and cajoled by some… other. Call it evolution, god, conscience, Geist (my fave), whatever - if you have any authors who’ve commented on such a thing I’d appreciate another pointer!

His feelings are correctly placed though. Even though macro economists agree the current methodology is the least wrong, they also agree that the BLS series cannot explain why Americans have stopped saving and gone so deeply in debt. A slight error in BLS methodology, could explain that reality. So comparing the CPI to your own reality is clearly very rational.
Google frames this as “win probability” which feels more like statistics rather than gambling.
If the check is not done in constant time, the attacker can discover hash(b), by trying one byte at a time (without knowing b).

Of course it's way less impactful than discovering b, but it's nonetheless a vulnerability.
Here's an interesting example: in the Whoniverse there is this concept of a "deadlock seal", which is kind of a lock which is almost impossible to break (it is (in)famously resistant even to sonic devices, which is a big deal).

I can only assume this is a deliberate joke of the authors, of course.

The reason people live so long is because we went all-in on fossil fuels through the 1800s, 1900s and early 2000s. Our long lives and high living standards are pretty much all flow-ons from cheap energy.

The people who prioritise 0-risk living over energy security are self defeating; but the problem is they keep trying to take the rest of us down with them. Their victory against nuclear energy might technically be one of the biggest catastrophes to ever hit humanity. We have never been hit by something else with so high an opportunity cost in absolute terms. Blind and ignorant fear is no basis for making policy decisions.
