First, we've built our own moderation team dedicated to providing around-the-clock coverage to uphold our community guidelines.

A partial answer* is that the Bluesky moderation enforces their community standards, so if you don't like that, then the platform may not be for you.

* - because, yes, this does still have a single entity at fundamental control. But I presume their focus is on the basic threshold (ie legality under US law) of content.
There's a bottom of the reply thread though
The slow drip of government interference means people forget what a free and open interent was like. Slowly, its becoming segmented by chickenshit regulation, censorship, and corporate control. We don't care because its only Texas and its adult content, but this is what the slow chipping away of freedom looks like: the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Remember that if you consider the SVD for complex matrixes, you should use the Hermitian transpose and not only the usual transposition (symbol used on that page: A^T). Of course, it's the same in this case since it's considering real matrixes.
This post isn't specifically recommending it as a substitute, but it references Tauri, which is Rust [0].

Intel Fred Merged for Linux 6.9 as an Important Improvement with Future CPUs
What you'd normally think of as Wireguard allows routes at connection time sure, however OP wants a VPN which allows peer B ("server") to define a route and advertise that route to peer A ("client"). So one day the client would route 10.1.0.0/24 down the wireguard tunnel, but not 10.2.0.0/24, the next day however from changing peer B, the config on peer A would change.

Obviously there are many things you could do to allow this (run a routing protocol, build a custom client which gets route information, etc), but the "out of the box" wireguard is a kernel interface, a wg command, and a utility script (wg-quick). I think there are some gui based clients for non-linux based OSes, but it's the same principle.

DNS is nothing to do with the wireguard kernel or userspace, it's configured in the "wg-quick script" (there's a bash function called set_dns), but you can do that however you want.

Wireguard alone isn't what an enterprise would consider to be a "VPN solution", it doesn't push configs from a central location, it's very much a peer-to-peer tool. You can build "enterprise" features like centrally defined routes or DNS on top of that, or not, it's not opinionated.
I do the same and it usually only takes a few days to a week to learn a 16 character pretty random looking password, which with an 6-monthly change-your-password-rule is no big deal.
Yes, it's quite common, see for example:

i've got you covered. I made a script to achieve exactly this.
Reminds me of default passwords on wifi routers a decade ago - ATT especially had a very identifiable SSID format (ATT###), and a default 10-digit password. That leaves you with (9,999,999,999 + 1 =) 10 billion[1] passwords possible, which even at that time only took a couple hours to test all of them. That SSID pattern also left you with only 1,000 possible SSIDs, so a rainbow table was definitely reasonable.

[1] - though now that I think about it, that might not properly cover the case of leading zeroes in the password, so the total number of possible passwords might be larger than 10B; that's assuming a naïve password list generated just from numbers, not from treating the digits as characters, so I need to reason about this a bit more...

>Just that the interface (Web Applications) is riddled with vulnerabilities and now less controlled

What makes you think that? Looking at the set up guide, it looks like on the server side it's just a websocket server that you add to a random path on your reverse proxy, and on the client side it's just a websocket client. I'm not sure how this is "riddled with vulnerabilities and now less controlled".
On the other side of that, the pornography is also likely to be dodgier and the sites shadier. Not saying Pornhub isn't, but it had that cull a while back, and it seems to be trying to be semi-above board, and that can't be said for every site. And "the children" are still able to access pornography.

Nobody wins, except those offshore sites, and I guess the prudes who are only in it for the sound bite.

> victory through attrition

Basically, but also looking like increasingly transient victory through attrition that's going to backfire on US alliance in long term.

TLDR - Convince western bloc to burden share development cost of joint program, burn partners by retaining near exclusive control over deployment and development. See drama that US has control over mission data files, that can only be generated at Eglin AFB, aka non US operators have essentially no sovereign control over their F35s. In the meantime, partners stuck on F35 platform because multi generational gamble commitment killed their own aero industry and there's no alternative short/medium term.

There's a reason almost every non-US F35 operator that can, is developing their own fighter, or partnering up in programs to to develop non US associated fighters (history US joint programs tech sharing drama entirely different shitshow) - actual long term operators of F35 have come to realize getting captured by F35 US/Lockmart SAAS is highly problematic. Borderline treasonous if we're being honest.

US can probably fix this by openning up program, or wait for other programs to fail technically/economically. Seeing how US can barely wrest F35 from Lockheed contracts, and how behind other western programs are, the latter probably more likely.
> free and open interent

I have already forgotten all about the open interent, all we're left with is this internet thing full of closed gardens with nations each trying to claim parts of it fall under their jurisdiction.
Every program is a compressed representation of its output. This is from Kolmogorov complexity, which you learn this in any CS complexity theory course.

So, a neural network being a compressor/decompressor is nothing special.

Note, however, that supposing a context window of 1000 units, then we are looking at K = 2^1000 = 10^300 different entries in the truth table. Somehow, your LLM neural network is the result of compressing a 10^300 exponential scale amount of possible information, which of course could never be seen at all -- to compress a JPEG at least you have access to the original image, not just two pixels in it.

Anyways, the philosophical debate is whether you believe programs can think, whether machine intelligence is meaningful at all by definition. Some say yes, others say no. When humans think, are not our abstractions and ideas a kind of compression?

Not sure what about any of this is slow or quiet.
Right as I said it backfired. Now the government has legit zero control over porn consumption, where before revenge porn and the like was inaccessible as ph would take it down.
An alternate point of view is that one day we will look back with deep shame at this hopefully brief period where we made porn and gambling available to children instantly in limitless quantities.

Not saying it’s easy to figure out how to accomplish change in a free and fair way. But the status quo is pretty clearly a horrifying outcome.
Apparently it is a separate entity and fund, they don't invest money from OpenAI but money raised specifically for investing. So this doesn't say much about OpenAI, they aren't investing money they could use themselves.

I understand the economics concept. I'm not sure WeWork was a great example it had significant other challenges such as a self-dealing founder and, frankly, a poor long term model.

I would wager that the concept needs a bit of a refresh as historically it has referred to high capital costs for the production of a hard good though in this case there is more than just a good produced theres a fair bit of influence and power associated with the good and a ton of downstream businesses that are reliant upon it if it goes according to plan.

Practically, labels are probabilistic. Different people who are trained on how to label will label most things the same way but will disagree about some things. I know my judgement in the morning might not be the same as the afternoon. If you had a lot of people making judgements you could say that "75% of reviewers think this is a scam".

But "lots of reviewers" could be tough. Look at the "Spider Shield" example: if Spider Shield is going to block 95% of spider images, they're going to have to look at 95% of the content that I see, before I see it. This is a big ask if the people doing the labeling hate spiders! (Someone who values a clean feed might want to have a time-delayed feed)

It seems also that the labels themselves would become a thing for people to argue about, particularly if they get attached at the 50% point of the visibility of a post as opposed the first or last 2%.

Something based on machine learning is a more realistic strategy in 2024. Today anti-spiders could make a pretty good anti-spider model with 5000 or spider images. The tools would look a bit like what Bluesky is offering but instead of attaching public tags to images, you would publish a model. You could use standardized embeddings for images and text and let people publish classical ML models out of a library, I am looking at one of my old recommender models right now, it is 1kb serialized, a better model might be 5kb. Maybe every two years they update the embeddings and you retrain.
I'm generally comparing it with OpenVPN and it allows to do all that.
I'm hoping for a rigorous analysis. For example, X := "arrival time of fusion with a cost lower than natural gas in $ per kWh" is a random variable with a distribution. Our assumptions about the distribution of X will impact our estimated distribution of emissions, and hence impact our estimated distribution of f(emissions). There's lots of these questions that contribute, both technological and behavioral in nature.

In the current zeitgeist it's a sensitive topic, but quite explicitly the article said not to hire people just because they think the same. The author warns against getting stuck in a local maximum. I don't think it has anything to do with current day diversity quotas.
> Texas cannot enforce a provision requiring porn websites to "display health warnings about the effects of the consumption of pornography."

Well at least some common sense prevailed, there is zero reason to have a notice like that.

Like I kinda get on paper how you could come to the conclusion of needing to do something like this (the ID part), I mean generally (unless you look a certain age) you do have to show your ID to buy porn or any related places...

But it just feels unnecessary and reeks of data collection that could be used for bad reasons.

I know I started looking at porn at... middle school timeframe. Maybe freshman of high school but pretty sure middle school. So 13/14 years old time frame.

I am just fine. I am not saying that kids should have free access to it, but we need to remove this stigma.
I really think this should have GenAI in the title on the webpage or on here, because it's taking the source photo and making best guesses while creating details out of whole cloth. This isn't just "another photo filter", it's instead taking the picture and running with it with sometimes pretty poor results.

For example, I used a random selfie of me on the beach and big rocks in the water, wearing dark sunglasses and mouth closed.

Watercolor: Added eyes to my glasses (!). The rocks and water turned green, and it looked like I was standing in a park.
Coloring Page: Ferns and trees added that weren't there before.
Both: Gave me a teethy smile when my lips were closed.

The examples on the home page must have been extremely handpicked because I'm not seeing anything to that same fidelity.

I'm not sure a Linux-like ecosystem would be possible on BSD licenses. With GPL, company A is free to contribute code without the fear competitor B will take it, make some improvement, and pack it with their proprietary product to undercut company A. This is an important selling point of licensing your tech as a commodity that cannot be exploited to gain a competitive edge on you.

Presumably you could have a situation where there's deep-packet inspection on the traffic which would only allow a "handshake response" to come back through, and drop your attempt at an initialisation.

I doubt that happens much, and I assume you'll fall back hapilly enough to the second time the "client" sends an init packet and then you simply respond with the response packet.

Back in the dark days of 2015 we used to spend a day or two just getting tensorflow working on a GPU because of all the install issues, driver issues, etc. Theano was no better, but it was academic research code, we didn't expect better.

Once pytorch started gaining ground, it forced to adapt - Keras was written to hide tensorflow's awfulness. Then Google realized it's an unrecoverable situation of technical debt and they started building JAX.

With AMD, Intel, Tenstorrent, and several other AI chip specialists coming with pytorch compatibility, NVIDIA will eventually have to adapt. They still have the advantage of 15 years of CUDA code already written, but pytorch as ab abstraction layer can make the switch easier.
> The act of planting trees, in itself, is carbon neutral. Not good, not bad, just irrelevant to the presence of carbon: the carbon is still in the cycle of life within the biosphere.

Isn't this a little like saying that humans in a confined space don't actually use up any of the oxygen, because it's still technically present in the CO2 they exhale?

> For example, by cutting trees and burying their wood in sealed mines several kilometers underground.

What would be the net benefit of treating it like radioactive waste versus using it as a construction material? Yes, a small percentage of the carbon would escape, but most of it would stay locked up in the wood, and one wouldn't create the massive amounts of CO2 necessary to build and operate those hypothetical mines.
