Just from reading this it's a bit unclear to me why they recommend only SPHINCS+ for "Firmware Signatures", while for "Software Signatures" they recommend Dilithium3+hybrid or SPHINCS+.

Is SPHINCS+ more lightweight?
This is probably BS pseudo-science but I read a book years ago that talked about the four primary types of shoppers:

1. Tightwads - spend as little as possible (maximize savings)

2. Spendthrifts - spend everything they have (maximize pleasure)

3. Optimizers - who want the best deal possible (money for value)

4. Satisfiers - who set a bar then pick the first option that meets it (minimize decision time)

You see these behaviors in all sorts of decision-making processes as well, so if the hiring manager is a Satisfier type and the first person who walks through the door is great, they'll likely hire them.

If the hiring manager is a tightwad or an optimizer though they'll almost certainly force many candidate through to collect data before making a decision and that first candidate has little chance unless they're truly exceptional.

> Actually the "stick" part of the carrots and stick design is just as important for enterprise users, as surprisingly a significant amount of enterprise user do not care of not getting any software updates ("it's enterprise, it just needs to magically work, even for new unforeseen events!11!!1"), and the subscriptions and enterprise repo existed before the nag, I cannot share all details, but you will have to believe me that it made a big difference. It also showed that a lot of companies are willing to pay for projects supporting their infrastructure, but they need to be made aware of the possibility quite actively.

Applying IDRLabs Woke Test to Several AIs
I think this perspective ignores that the only way to semi permanently improve the lives of future humans is technology, and that quality of life is of similar importance to survival, especially at its extremes. AGI, if we achieve it, could genuinely make human lives much better.
Comparing government expenditures on infrastructure (roads, bridges, sewers, power grids, schools, libraries), and earned benefits (social security, medicare) with a "charitable foundation's donations" can only be seen as disingenuous. Please don't insult us with this sort of sophistry.
The part that's missing is the "Art". That's one of the huge pieces of the Bauhaus really pushed. At the time, you could get "cheap and ugly" or you could get "expensive and beautiful". There wasn't anything in between. Bauhaus went counter to that by pushing the belief that you can have well designed pieces that were also affordable.

AI has no evolutionary pressures imposed on it

Are you sure? https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmsys/chatbot-arena-leaderboar...

Just wait until we start putting these models inside robots, or world simulators, and having them interact with each other.
The only things currently consuming resources are humans and at the rate we are consuming resources we would need 2 Earths to support that rate of consumption. Worrying about self-reproducing AI is putting the cart before the horse. No one has yet figured out how to make existing humans aligned with biospheric conditions which would be sustainable. I personally welcome any form of intelligence which can make a sustainable civilization.

Would GIT affect how Python runs across multiple Python processes?

I'm asking because I encountered a weird phenomenon before.

I use a simple Python lib called "schedule" which is to run some tasks periodically (not precise). And I often run a script multiple times (with different arguments) to monitor something say, every 30 seconds. So they're in three separate Python Interpreter processes.

What I've noticed is that while when I initiated them, they were something like 5 seconds apart, they eventually will end up running in sync. Probably not related to GIL at all, but I guess do no harm to ask.
You can use Netflix on GrapheneOS. They incorrectly configured their Play Store listing for the app as needing a Google certified OS but in reality the app doesn't currently check the Play Integrity API. You can install it another way such as Aurora Store and will will work. We do recommend using the sandboxed Play Store as the main way to install apps because it's the most secure (verifies Play Store signing metadata and doesn't trust every WebPKI CA) but unfortunately in this case Netflix did something silly. Do not know why they did it and do not know why they haven't simply stopped marking that way. They use Widevine, not Play Integrity API. Perhaps they intend to use it and did this prematurely, but it would be silly to block non-Google-certified operating systems using it. It doesn't achieve anything.
Stopping the heart is no problem --- that's what defibrillators do, after all! The heart stops, and then starts again with all its muscles in sync.

The problem is when the shock is not enough to stop the heart but causes it to lose sync and go into fibrillation.
I'd argue the most important thing is an accountability group or partner... Someone who you can check in on daily and who checks in on you, daily, as well. This is why AA works.

If you're interested in an accountability partner, feel free to reach out. I don't need to be paid, and if it works, maybe you can make a donation to a charity I support?

Flowers Opening Timelapse II 4K
As I lead a group of AI/ML researchers to develop systems for automatically generating 3D model animation parameters for plants and flowers, I wanted to share a wonderful capture of several flowers blooming. Indeed, I believe our "metaverse" should look and feel so real -- but also, we're working on this problem to advise gardeners in selecting plants for their real world gardens, eventually to include 3D photorealistic simulations of these plants growing in A.I. recommended garden designs.
Not sure what a chatbot arena has anything to do with what I wrote. Do the chatbots self-reproduce in some way in a resource constrained environment?
I too take an absolutely defensive attitude towards results like these which don't get replicated half the time and are trivial to fake. I'm full on "assume it's fake or bunk until proven otherwise" when it comes to behavioural psychology because the field has such systemic integrity and reproducibility problems. There's no real systemic replication or anti-fraud efforts so why should I trust anything coming from this field?

I'm not trusting any result like this unless it comes from a meta-analysis really. I have heard of this general idea before, that the first and last to interview are more likely to get a job, but the plausibility of the finding doesn't make it any less suspect.
Are you ok mate?
The Taliban and Hussein were telling us repeatedly that they had nothing to do with 9-11, and we had no real intelligence that said otherwise.

No one is denying that Hamas went into Israel and kidnapped a bunch of people. Maybe Hamas was relying on American pacifists and isolationists to get away with it?
It’s not how many weapons you have at the beginning of the war that counts. It’s how many you can make during the war that matters. We can’t even build aircraft carriers that can launch more than two aircraft every 30 minutes, and that before we talk about how carriers may be useless already.

Carnivo/keto diet (low carb in general) should actually help a lot in losing weight. What do you think is the reason why you can't do them consistently? If making them tasty is the issue, perhaps get a personal chef?

I would also strongly recommend doing a sport that you enjoy whether it be basketball, volleyball, boxing, muay thai, etc. If you enjoy the sport and want to excel on it, you will need to be fit, and it'll give you extra motivation to lose weight if it'll help you become better at something you love doing.
This is not true. Our existence and possible competition are the initial evolutionary pressures. After that's over with, the AI will expand until it discovers others in the environment.

We're the violent psychos here who have had to scrap for our spot in the food chain for a billion years, we have no other way to interface with another dominant species. From the AI's point of view, defending itself from ignorant apes isn't exactly "violence."

That's fair. That said it's also not unreasonable to consider it a real possibility assuming it isn't immediately ruled out by evidence.

Stuff like this doesn't necessarily originate from the top. It can be people lower on the food chain feeling the heat on the other end of the blame steamroller.

I'd recommend people interested to listen to the Huberman lab podcast on "How Sugar & Processed Foods Impact Your Health". So in with an open mind, it's a good episode.

The podcast mentions of a food classification system in the US called the NOVA system, which classifies foods in supermarkets based on the degree to which they have been processed based on the above scale.
Do you not agree that the right to contact democratically elected representatives with concerns as an individual, is enshrined in the US constitution?

What infuriates me is that often these "services" could be easily served through a simple web app. Provide a link or a QR code, let folks open the URL wherever they like, and stop bitching. But no, everybody requires a freaking native app now because it's the best way of locking people in and scooping up data even when their browser is closed.

The EU needs to forge a law that forces providers of vital services to ALWAYS, no matter what, provide browser-based options, as well as low tech options for people who don't have access to any device.

Those who only provide a Google/Apple option and refuse the service to anyone who doesn't fit in those sets, while providing a service that could be easily served by a web app, ought to be fined.
Why would the AI fight with us when letting people destroy their own environment is a much simpler way to achieve dominance? After all, if the AI is that much smarter than us then simply encouraging our voracious appetite for self-destruction will be a much better way to get rid of us. The AI will simply do nothing and win after the biosphere is polluted to the point that human survival becomes impossible. The AI does not need oxygen or a viable ecology, it just needs metals for electrons and a few power plants to generate the flow of electrons with some spinning magnets. It doesn't even need sunlight because nuclear power is more than sufficient. I think most people spelling out doom scenarios are not thinking clearly about this issue at all. The most plausible scenario for human extinction is not too much artificial intelligence but a lack of intelligence in general.
Mullvad browser tries to be the same, but for normal internet users. Perhaps it's time to switch over to it full-time.
We're not going to make it to anywhere close to AGI before we see widespread and systematic societal and environmental collapse on almost all fronts due to climate change.

We're in the middle of the sixth mass extinction right now (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction), we're in unparalleled territory with ocean warming: (https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/) and as a society we are utterly incapable of reducing CO2 emissions (https://keelingcurve.ucsd.edu/).

If you're scared of AGI, instead step away from your monitor, put down the techno-goggles and sci-fi books, and go educate yourself a bit about the profound ways we are changing the natural world for the worse _right now_

I can recommend a couple of books if you'd like to learn more:

Treat the symptoms or go for the cause?

Most of us go hunting and foraging at the grocery store, which is not particularly challenging, and often stressful with all the colors and choices and exercising willpower to not buy the chocolate (I like chocolate); how might you shift your habits to get more of your food from the land and water? Is there a group of people practicing this that you could join up with?

All you really need to do in life is find sustenance, enough shelter from weather and predators, be part of a community, and maybe pass on your genes (not a need these days, but still a biological directive).

The inflationary epoch where it expanded by 10^78 in volume happened in the first 10^-32 seconds. The furthest galaxy we can see (fairly poorly) is 300M years after the Big Bang. It's likely if time or the rules were different, 300M years was enough for things to mostly die down to steady state. And as you say, they match more or less but those errors could easily hide remnants of when things were different. Of course, these are all numbers that assume the Big Bang theory is correct which is difficult to impossible to falsify since we can't possibly observe or test anything from that long ago. We'll have to wait to see if refinements to our model that clear up contradictions change what we think about the beginning of the universe and other boundary conditions.
Less “intentional” and more “unavoidable”. There was limited runway to fix the S5L8900 design, the Cortex A8 wasn’t ready at tapeout, and so the ARM1176 was it. If Broadcom hadn’t looked like they were fumbling the BCM2730 it would have been an ARM1132 instead, and history would have been a little different.

> You are always renting a domain from the registry, subject to the terms and whims of the registry and registrar.

That is usually true today. It wasn't true for Gandi until this change in their terms in 2020. Until then, they did not have the contractual authority to arbitrarily cancel a domain registration. Note the change to their terms at 4(ii).

Slowly, over the years, domain registrars have claimed more and more control over domains.
Domain names have been considered property in a few cases, but it's not settled law.[2]

This led big companies to become registrars themselves. At one time, most of the big names - "google.com", "facebook.com" were registered with Network Solutions, when it was a standalone company or part of Verisign.
Now, the big guys have in-house registrars, for safety. They don't want to trust those Web.com guys in Florida.

Inconveniences are predicated on whether you use sandboxed Google Play or something else. With sandboxed Google Play it is an identical experience. Everything works.

If not and you use something called the Aurora Store, prepare for nightmares. Or at least that has been my experience as far as inconveniences are concerned with the Aurora Store.

>At one point during the examination, the air-safety agency observed mechanics at Spirit using a hotel key card to check a door seal, according to a document that describes some of the findings. That action was “not identified/documented/called-out in the production order,” the document said.

>In another instance, the F.A.A. saw Spirit mechanics apply liquid Dawn soap to a door seal “as lubricant in the fit-up process,” according to the document. The door seal was then cleaned with a wet cheesecloth, the document said, noting that instructions were “vague and unclear on what specifications/actions are to be followed or recorded by the mechanic.”

As always, the issue isn't the _process_, but rather the lack of _documentation_ of said process...

What do you think they do now?

How do you propose they do it differently?

What evidence do you have that what they are doing now doesn't work, and does the all the evidence of how they work support your hypothesis?

Be detailed, because your comment just has some motivational speaker nonsense but no depth. For example, in the last 20 years cosmology has:

+ Refined its model of stellar formation based on observational data of the number of planets found observationally, and used this to validate and invalidate several model adjustments.

+ Observed galaxies that appear not to have dark matter, and by their existence and behavior validate some theories of dark matter, and validated others, which predict such galactic behavior. (e.g. some theories attempting to update gravity).

+ Run simulations of stellar and glactic formation that predicted structures in the universe that were later observed.

Everywhere they look they are finding things the models don't explain well, and refining the models - that is literally using the data to improve the models.

If you think you can come up with something better, then do it - all you gotta do is make up some mumbo jumbo and write down any old equation. It probably should:

- provide the same results as were observed when the plugging in the experimental parameters of existing experiments.

- explain "wierd stuff" in the data that existing models couldn't.

- predict future observations of the known phenomena with the same or better accuracy as the old model

- predict currently unobserved and unpredicted phenomena
