Public charges seems to include things like fees for services and tolls, so it would seem that payment for entry to public parks is included here. Unfortunate though, as it may not make financial sense to open up areas if it requires someone there to accept payment (unless enough people are paying on an honor system). It may also result in parks just widening the scope of specific park passes and increasing the cost of a pass, meaning you can no longer visit one specific area of the park for a small fee. I wonder if you could just require that cash payments be made in advance at a park center if you don't choose to pay online.

I am skeptical that libertarians who want legalized drugs would be okay with tracking. For progressive-minded people I'm skeptical too, most harm reduction programs I see emphasize anonymity.

The link below is framework for harm reduction policies which seems pretty clear that tracking usage is not part of the practice

"Participation in services is always voluntary, confidential (or
anonymous), self-directed, and free from threats, force, and the
concept of compliance. Any data collection requires informed
consent and participants should not be denied services for not
providing information. This means using low-threshold evaluation
and data collection systems to measure the effectiveness of harm
reduction programs."

> I saw this movie as a kid and it haunted me.

Same here, a very enduring memory. Although I had largely forgotten about it until I heard a song (well, some sort of psychill instrumental I guess) by Carbon Based Lifeforms, named Photosynthesis, that samples a couple of lines from this movie: https://youtu.be/KQE29az48gM?si=9q3aVxcvV7TLxBa4&t=770

For those who haven't seen the movie, here's a 16 sec non-spoiler clip that gives a little context to the lines in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6Xhzo6VAWg

Dr Michael Eades is a good gateway toif you're interested. He wrote a book a while ago now titled Protein Power [1], I think he is working on an update/sequel as well.

At the high level, my basic claim is that the idea that dietary saturated fat directly leads to heart attack is incorrect. The history of this claim dates back to President Eisenhower. After having a heart attack while in office he wanted to tell the public how he could avoid the same fate. Researchers cut corners to meet political targets, ignoring data that disproved their hypothesis and claimed that plaque found in cadaver arteries was made of saturated fats and that it got there due to the person's diet.

The claims weren't backed up by the studies used and we were told that this was now a known fact when it wasn't. We've spent many decades since avoiding saturated fats in favor of unsaturated fats, which are highly oxidative and have concerning side effects when run through the Krebs Cycle.

Dr Eades also has a few interesting talks on the subject when he walks through the Krebs Cycle and the difference of saturated and unsaturated fats in case that's helpful. I think [2] is one I watch years ago, though he has other similar talks on YouTube as well.

I did a deep literature dive about it in the spring of 1986 and was amazed about how little negatives there was at that time. The biggest positive was that THC protected neurons from hypoxia, almost the opposite of damage. The other interesting finding was the Jamaican study, near zero negative effect for the heaviest use cohort. 5 or more fat joints per day for 35 or more years had basically zero negative vs the other groups. No real positives but zero negatives beyond a slightly larger percent of phlegmy lungs, like a few percent more.

They don't even need to mandate anything. They need to neuter intellectual property, unambiguously legalize reverse engineering and circumvention, and make it illegal for corporations to retaliate against consumers who exercise those rights. Then all this stuff will happen on its own via adversarial interoperability.

A simplified explanation, which I think I heard from Karpathy, is that transformer models only do computation when they generate (decode) a token. So generating more tokens (using CoT) gives the model more time to “think”.

Obviously this doesn’t capture all the nuance.

You joke, but I think about this relatively often. There really is something cool about the aesthetic of using cigarettes. I also think about a related but opposite problem of helmets, for instance for bicycling, skateboarding, or snowboarding. Something so essential looks so goofy, and this surely hinders usage. I wonder what it would take to make them switch places, culturally.
A (potentially minor) problem with this use case for Tailscale is that we do actually want the forwarded services listening on localhost and not on a different IP address, because browsers treat these as secure contexts without having to fuss with https. I briefly checked the Tailscale userspace docs just now and it seems to expose a SOCKS proxy, meaning that we'd need an extra piece to listen on the desired localhost port and forward via Tailscale.

[edit] Removed an incorrect assumption. Tailscale does not require CAP_NET_ADMIN in userspace mode.

The more accurate statement is, its no longer free (as in freedom).

> It is central to the idea of the book and its sequel. [..] the idea of code archeology and the repercussions of it are what the book is about as much as any of the other main ideas.

Can't speak to the sequel as I gave up on the series after that, but it's _really_ not relevant to the plot or ideas of the first book at all. All that matters for the plot is that a hostile, powerful, uncontrollable AI arises. In the book, it _happens_ to be because of a code archeologist "delving too greedily and too deep"; but the plot would not be changed one iota if it had simply arisen (and gone off the rails) as a product of general AI development.

Although, in fairness, every business venture depends on timing to some degree. Good luck successfully getting a Google up and insanely profitable in 1900 or 2000. There are specific windows founders need to hit to find a market.

Curiously, eyeballing the search engine wiki page [0] for when the engines I know about started it looks like there was a window in the mid 90s (Yandex, Google, MSN Search -> Bing) and another one might have opened in 2010s (DDG, Bing #2, Yandex English).

People found these companies continuously, but there is a temporal component to when these companies take off.

Been obsessing the past fews days on ssh tunnels. Ran a local service for over a week using ssh -R which was pretty cool. Also tried out autossh. Was using Caddy on a 2$ VPS, mostly just worked. I love the idea of being able pay so little for a gateway onto an old laptop with a huge hard drive running all kinds of awesome stuff and instantly share a new container I run with a friend for a few hours and then take it down when we’re done.

I haven’t look at the code for the link above, but I think I am going to build a self hosted solution in Go and WireGuard with a simple GUI.

edit: one other cool thing to note was not only was this service behind a firewall, it was also behind my mullvad desktop client on Linux. Will probably run WireGuard connection to the VPS in a container to avoid conflicts with commercial VPN.

I don't think you can say "nothing". As the article puts it:

> "There are a lot of climate crisis stories in modern sci fi, but a great many of them focus, intentionally or not, on the natural world’s utility to humans: we must preserve it or else we doom ourselves. Silent Running argues that we should preserve the natural world even if we can live without it, even if it serves no purpose in feeding the hungry or curing the ill, even if we can find a way to get along just fine."

If the idea of the importance of preservation of the natural world were much more widespread, humanity would be in a very different situation now. Dern's character's argument in the movie is just as relevant today, and the general answer today remains the same: the natural world is a secondary concern compared to humanity's unconstrained and unthinking growth.
I’ve always thought tobacco companies had some influence on Netflix’s programming. The scenes where smoking is involved are usually set up so the whole ritual is seen (take the pack out, maybe tap it, pull it out, light and take your first big inhale with all the sounds and smells that come with it). That’s the ritual that many smokers know and has for sure influenced my cravings when I was trying to quit smoking a few years ago.
This was particularly fascinating to watch, thanks for posting.

@13m30s, Prof. Geoffrey Hitton makes a good defense to others' argument that "generative AI is just autocorrect..." but the entire presentation is worth watching.

Also right after the above clip, he talks about John Dean's testimony about Nixon's Whitehouse, and I found this particularly human/fascinating (that he *got a lot of details incorrect, but "the gist of it" he was correct).

What does this mean, in practical terms?

If a circuit board you own burns out a capacitor, you can replace it: use a logic probe to isolate the problem, order the part on Mouser, reflow the board, hope for the best.

If you're saying everything sold to consumers should be serviceable by a person with no preexisting skills, using tools they already happen to have, I think that's completely unreasonable. Technology means specialization.

This discussion reminds me a bit of the description of Fujitsu trying to implement Habitat in Japan:

“…instead of sending a command message to the object on the server, the client would send the X-Y coordinates of your mouse click. The server would then render its own copy of the scene into an internal buffer to figure out what object you had clicked on. Not only was this extremely inefficient, but the race conditions inherent a multi-user environment meant that it also sometimes just got the wrong answer. It was amazing…”

> shelf lives are massively extended. I think this would be a good thing.

50 years ago many fruits and vegetables had a lot shorter shelf life, however that has been greatly extended due to selected breeding. For example tomatoes used to have a shelf life of around 3 days, but now it's 3 weeks or more.

The disadvantage of this is that now there are a few varieties that dominate what you can buy in supermarkets, and they are optimized for economic features. This means other features like taste and nutrient content are a lot worse than it was 50 years ago.

Thanks for this excellent summary.

With regards to the "super apps", Apple can just as well argue that it aspires to retain access for multiple players ("avoiding monopoles", ironically), so naturally it does not want only a single app becoming the majority of all downloads, which leads the app store idea ad absurdum.

Makes you wonder about something else: Could Apple one day be broken apart like "Ma Bell"? It seems the Apple brand is inconsistent with notions of modularity and openness (which brings with itself a certain messiness), everything is supposed to look at feel alike up to the slightly silly (as a problem to solve, as long as there are still children starving on this planet at the same time) device unpacking experience.

It's good that the U.S. government are doing their job as expected, in this case that's relevant for all other countries, where a lot of the device owners/users are based.

My ultimate wish would be some someone to launch a third mobile platform - beside Apple IOS and Alphabet-Google Android - based on a new open W3C standard (not HTML).
Such a standard would get a chance to grow with the support of the legal apparatus: judges should force the oligopolists to implement said standard, and then people might just say "hey, I can just implement ONE app, and catch all THREE platforms."

Huge fan here. I've been following your work. I downloaded your PDF slideshow a year or two back, and I was very impressed with what you were doing with the vanilla flavor of ATSC. I was particularly impressed in your ability to secure a testing ground for it.

"These new PCs represent a major step forward in customer-focused design and are packed with features that business customers have been requesting – from amazing performance and battery life to more ports, better security and custom, durable anti-reflective displays."

Not sure if only sold to businesses or what. It seems like Surface is a brand name synonymous with home consumers and they're trying to target business users, so they've added some necessary ports and did a bunch of marketing saying this is all "AI" focused, which seems to mean it'll have some annoying software that I hate like an intrusive thing in Excel to automatically make a chart out of my table when they pretty much already have that.
This is much more reasonable IMO.
Studies are pretty clear that harsh punishments do not deter. Likelihood of running into enforcement action is the dominant variable, and greater likelihood of getting caught does deter crime.
Is there a max yet or per disk limits? IIRC those would start writeback. I always thought wiping a slow USB disk shouldn't consume all available RAM. But it used to. Maybe it still does.
What are you doing with a Xilinx bitstream even if you have it besides producing more of the device without authorization?

How exactly are you analyzing it for any meaningful information?

It's absolutely not "easier" to attack an FPGA in this manner because the information yielded isn't something a smart fellow can just pop into IDA and glean every secret from: it's a highly optimized gate configuration with massive amounts of redundant register, LUT, etc. insertion. All structures resembling "code" are gone.

You'll never see RTL from this information and there's nothing like assembler for it.

All of this is assuming that the nation state actor can keep the device powered while doing this extraction, because once that voltage drops even a couple hundred mV below the allowed value, that bitstream is gone. Tamper switch, timer, batteries dead, a 30 cent microcontroller analyzing environmental conditions, velocity, etc. and cutting the power: it's gone forever.
