Well not the Lisp userland many of us dreamed of but a very interesting project nonetheless.

The handbook[0] is a bit more clearer about the goals:

> Metropolis is a cluster operating system, meaning its goal is to run on a fleet of machines (be it physical or virtual) and pool their resources together into a unified API for operations and developer teams.

> A self-contained operating system: Metropolis is a full software stack, including the Linux kernel, userspace code, Kubernetes distribution and cluster management system. In contrast to traditional cluster administration, there are no puzzles to put together from a dozen vendors. The entire stack is tested as a single deployable unit.

> Eliminates state: Metropolis nodes don't have a traditional read-write filesystem, all of their state is contained on a separate partition with clear per-component ownership of data. All node configuration is managed declaratively on a per-node basis, and all cluster operations are all done by gRPC API.

Seems like they a specific use case in mind which will help keep the scope in check. Definitely looking forward to learn more about he project.

Also golang is a pretty good choice for such a project because it doesn't even have a libc dependency and calls the Kernel directly. So you can indeed have a very pure userland in a garbage collected language.

> Is Netflix a secret Facebook client that I don't know about? Lmao, is this a serious comment I'm replying to?

Yes, in fact, that's what the feature was. You could send a movie recommendation via Facebook within Netflix, and then continue the conversation with that friend, still in the Netflix app.

It's a dumb idea for all of the obvious reasons that its in Netfix' best interest to hoover up the data, but that's why it doesn't exist anymore and hasn't existed for years.

> The cost of computing decreases over time. No one will pay $100 Billion to train GPT-6. That is absurd. The current top supercomputer in the world (Frontier) cost $600M.

Just wanted to ask the question - do you think frontier has provided more or less value to the world than gpt-4?
I so very much wish that Datomic had been licensed this way.
So you are going to pass a law That says depending on size, American companies can’t create content and distribute it?

And then foreign companies are still allowed to distribute thier own content? Are you going to block them from transmitting to the US?

If Netflix decides to incorporate in Canada, are you going to stop them from distributing thier own content to US citizens?

You really don’t see a problem with the government prohibiting companies from distributing thier own content over the internet?

Does that count for newspapers? Video content created by large newspapers?
The other half is mostly unshared environment (peers, etc.) Of course the parents affect both indirectly. But parenting style matters very little compared to genetics and who your kids are around.
Changing to external browser in the Discord Android app apparently opens all links in Chrome only. So not exactly a choice.
Even before the Great Sell Off, there was a growing notion of "we may need this some day so let's store and/or log it". And it makes sense. If you store it and don't need it, it's relatively cheap, at least in the last couple decades. But if you *don't* store it and need it, you're screwed.
My personal solution is just to self-host anything important or sensitive (password manager, file storage, photo storage, etc).

Audit the code as desired, pin to specific versions, run on a private network.
And the only real-world, non-criminal users of cryptocurrency are cryptocurrency speculators. To an approximation, anyway.
The issue is they took the name with them. If they forked it with a new name no one would have cared.
For what is worth in nix after the code is downloaded the code is built in a sandbox without network access. So one does have a viable alternative for Rust.

And is true that most package managers for popular language allow arbitrary code execution during the install process. That is how husky adds git hooks to the developers machines.

For example in Ruby I need to patch the Kafka gem, karafka because it downloads, builds and stores librdkafa.so in the gem's directory.

I understand that this as well as the husky example comes from a desire to make developer lifes easier but I'd rather we erred on the side of caution. Making sure that software builds without access to the network and without being able to modify your system (ej. Adding files to $HOME)
> Consensus algorithms have nothing to do with transaction fees.

Please don't tell bullshit. Look at Algorand and other protocols, consensus has a relationship with fees because it is linked with the cost of reaching consensus!

You can even read that in the Ethereum subreddit [0].

> Source?

It is repeated ad nauseam in Internet [1] and you can analyze the blockchain genesis to check it.

> Ethereum killer?

It is not about the protocol but the community you create. Algorand has solved the PoS before Cardano and Ethereum but they are #58 now and the creator is one of the parents of modern cryptography, Turing Prize, etc. Solana is #5. Beyond comparing the Solana protocol with Algorand it is a matter of "business" execution, technology is a smaller part. Probably if Livra from Meta was accepted it would be in the top 10.

Even when you think about Solidity as a programming language, it was not well designed (e.g. security) but that doesn't matter.

That description you have of quality inertia certainly seems applicable to other areas of life as well.

I’m certainly seeing a few troubling issues brewing but don’t see as many people as myself taking them as serious warning signs.

But when the collapse happens it’s rapid because the entire foundation has rotted away.

It keeps happening because that’s what the system rewards, short sightedness, and is also why founder led companies have more success, because they are able to execute in years not quarters.
Decompilation is often the least important (and least reliable) part of IDA/Ghidra, so comparing the two is unfair. That said, the scene is perpetually starved for good C decompilers, so more attempts are always exciting.
It's only a dark pattern if this was the permission Netflix asked for when you hit "Sign in with Facebook" or some other unrelated feature. If the permission was granted when you tried to use Netflix Chat, a bidirectional in-app chat powered by Facebook, then its not a dark pattern at all, its just the usual way things are done.
>they hoped it could be used for day-to-day value transfers

And they said this, including Satoshi. Yes they were wrong, but they said it.

>Now, it isn't

It's never been unique, because every coin has said it including, as you have mentioned in every response so far, Bitcoiners.

You've also said Eth guys have said. What are we left with? Every other **coin has obviously said it. I'm not arguing they all mean it, or they've been right. I'm arguing they all said it.
Confidently wrong, as usual.
FT8 would be pointless. FT8 uses SSB which this can't do. Doing FT8 on FM is a waste of bandwidth and low-signal. FT8 is usually done on HF since that has long-distance propagation and it is important to pick out tiny signals. People do FT8 on VHF but they use radios with SSB.

The radio probably doesn't have the processing power for FT8. A Raspberry Pi 3 was struggling for me. Also, a big part of FT8 is choosing what to send and who to respond to, need a good display for that.

Sure. And many murders remain unsolved. We treat murder differently from other crimes that result in human death in part due to instinct, but in part because when we don’t it becomes a political tool.

If I remember correctly, "Do it ASAP" was an explicit part of the prompt at that point.
Lossy and lossless are more interchangeable in computer science than people give credit so i wouldn't dwell on that too much. You can optimally convert one into the other with arithmetic coding. In fact the actual best in class algorithms that have won the hutter prize are all lossy behind the scenes. They make a prediction on the next data using a model (often AI based) which is a lossy process and with arithmetic coding they losslessly encode the next data with bits proportional to how correct the prediction was. In fact the reason why the hutter prize is lossless compression is exactly because converting lossy to lossless with arithmetic coding is a way to score how correct a lossy prediction is.
OpenSearch infuriates me to no end.

It lacks so many improvements and advancements since the ancient version it was forked at, but because AWS already has an org's payments details, teams often refuse to look at Elasticsearch.

Even basic things like autocompleting queries have been WIP for half a decade now:

As an ADHD person, I zoned out at paragraph 3, and then scrolled the headings and concluded it wouldn’t be helpful in this instance.
I hear this a lot and in my experience people who Ghidra or IDA and don’t use the decompiler are exceptionally rare. Why would you suffer that when you can use something else for what you actually want?
GPT-4 is not a piece of hardware. The comparison makes no sense. GPT-4 was enabled by hardware.

The idea is that you use something like a Frontier to create something like a GPT-4.

My point was about cost of computing. What kind of GPT can you train with a $600M computer?
I ask the same question, if Netflix decides to incorporate in Canada are you going to make a law that forces ISPs to block them? Are large newspapers not allowed to produce their own content? Do you draw the line at newspapers and news organizations because of freedom of the press and the do you allow Netflix to produce thier own documentaries but not fictional shows?

The wealth is so unimaginably high that for practical purposes like that, building things etc, I suspect they long surpassed the needed capital. You could take 99% of Elons wealth from him and he could still build disaster bunkers or commision a long term yacht to flee on, and live comfortably for the rest of his life. I suspect you could still influence politics too.

There are, in fact, many filthy rich folks on here.
if you taxed Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, and Bill Gates at 100% including all their wealth, assets, you would barely reduce the US deficit in one year.

In G20 countries other than the USofA with <gasp> social policies this is not the case.

Ambulances are either free (if part of a low annual fee Ambulance cover network) or capped at affordable, or subsidised if unemployed | disability | etc.

In Australia my brothers trip to hospital for an emergancy stent following a blocked heart artery involved an ambulance, two and days in hospital, and keyhole surgery.

Total cost to him, $400 for ambulance due to no cover, hospital + surgery free via public cover (from his taxes).
The big (huge?) memory requirement is during training. These LLMs work with high dimensional vectors and they calculate gradients with respect to high dimensional vectors and they do updates that require state of the optimizer. If you have 3 particles in 3 dimensions and you need their forces that creates 3 new 3D vectors and once you update their position along the forces then they also carry momenta. Now generalize these simple 3-body physics to the typical 60-layer creatures inside the LLM with vectors of several thousand dimensions, interactions/weights that are scaling like the squares of these vectors, to a total parameter count that adds up to the 10s to 100s of billions of parameters, and then take derivatives and start to keep track of momenta. It is a feat of modern engineering that some groups can train such models efficiently. I hope we will see more of the training stories becoming public in the near future.
I see now, when you explain it like this I understand why you used the term "open source". In a very literal sense though "open source" means the source is open, and there usually is no "source" used to create an itinerary except the mind of the creator, and hopefully that isn't open :D

Sorry to be picky about wording, it's definitely a cool project!

Tropo does occasionally get intentionally used by HT users though most weak signal operation is on SSB (and not on HT's, which don't do SSB for frequency stability reasons that no longer apply and amplifier linearity issues that only somewhat apply).

Indeed, part of my motivation for writing this was to remember it. I have spent too much time thinking about what shift() vs. unshift() do.

Basically you're arguing for chartalism, it has value because validators say it's the only thing they'll accept. That can change at any time, it's not the same as a company's stock's value being backed by liquid revenue. Imagine situations where the network just decides they want to accept other tokens at the expense of ETH. Imagine what happens to network security if there's a huge speculative dump - would network hard fork to avoid other protocols getting owned? What happens to ETH then?
> Because I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone call a virus conscious

Panpsychism posits that all matter is conscious, and perhaps consciousness is more fundamental than matter.

They aren't. Zcash has opt-in privacy, which I think we've established doesn't work. By this logic BTC also has opt-in privacy – just use a mixer. Well, except that your BTC will be tainted if you do it, which effectively makes BTC non-fungible for all intents and purposes.

The only way to have a private, fungible cryptocurrency is to make privacy mandatory and not "something you enable because you are a drug dealer". Does this mean that everyone using Monero is automatically a drug dealer? Even if it does, it's waaay better to have consistency vs having a cryptocurrency partitioned into "normal coins" and "darknet market coins"

It's not just RBAC, the actual feature needs to be designed with this sort of use in mind. When it is, OAuth is perfectly capable of handling it. The ideal way to implement something like this is to expose the message in the Facebook Chat app as a "Netflix Chat", separate from your normal one on one conversation with a user. Then, any message in the Netflix chat is shared with Netflix so they can render it in their UI, but nothing else. Put a message under the Netflix logo in Facebook Chat that says "Netflix will be able to read messages in this chat"

The OAuth consent screen details for an app ("Netflix" and the Netflix logo, etc) could be used to present this to the user.

However this presupposes that this was ever a good idea. On desktop you have a Facebook tab you can chat from, and on mobile, you want to chat on the Facebook (or whatever) app so you have all of its normal features, instead of a gimped version stuck inside a third party app. The third party app only needs to be able to ask the user if its OK to send a message with specific content, and possibly be able to enumerate who it might send to, but even that we've weeded out into the OS' own Share dialog nowadays.
There's various things, but one of the main problems these people probably have, as some of them are AI researchers/simulationists, is that the real goals of the AIs are very unclear. Simulations at a very high detail either work and are widely used or are faked (causing horrible implications if they really are faked), so it's likely the AIs use simulations in planning. It's even worse if the simulations are not faked at all, as the AIs would run thousands or millions of simulations of really horrible situations, testing different interventions. If they are trying to reduce suffering, even not as their sole concern, why are they doing this? If they aren't trying to reduce suffering very much, the mind control is not really in the "human"'s best interests, it's just to control them.
You've hit on the root of the debate, but you might have missed it. The debate is to define the meaning of consciousness.

We've got a general problem of not knowing what consciousness is, if it actually exists, how many people have it, if it is exclusive to humans and not really having a good philosophical grounding for (assuming multiple separate consciousnesses could exist) whether in practice that is the case of if the universe only have one big super-contagiousness that happens to be well partitioned. Also what is the nature of time as a bonus, because that one is quite gnarly and has lots of implications for the other questions - there arer lots of things about time that could be true but we would be unable to perceive.

Once you have answered all those questions to taste, you are now prepared to engage in unending argument with people who picked any alternate combination of answers.
A bunch of people are working on this from different angles. It's in a chaotic phase right now but it will probably consolidate later.
Haven't thought is for decades, but was my environments favourite math tutor, because I managed to ground everything in people's reality and rell them a compelling fiction in which knowing how to do the thing was actually a super-power.

You know like the survival tricks certain preppers learn and never use — that, but with math. Even if the examples were sometimes over the top, involved flaming moats and other xkcd-like freakiness I got students where their teachers told me it is hopeless sitting there participating with glowing eyes.

Meanwhile in my own math education I had a teacher who made us do integrals for what felt like a year without telling us once what the hell it is needed for.
I had to figure that out on my own.

My colleagues who didn't care just learned it by hard and forgot it immediately after. But I guess they got thought all the material and got ok grades so their education was a success.

What bullshit. Now, 15 years later I relearn a lot of those thinga because school made it sound boring only for me to later discover it is one of the most exiting things your brain can do. But that is about thinking on solutions to actual things not learning steps and doing them and getting punished for making one mistep.
> Why not simply ban any impersonation of humans?

I think the simplest answer to this is that we have tons of existing anthropomorphic technologies that nobody actually believes is human. But nobody thinks a PBX system is an actual human. The problem with this contemporary issue is that LLMs have become believable.

That's completely tangential to the discussion. I don't really want them having to bring it home either but that's what happens.

The shift to open core was ten years ago. Open core failed and is being replaced with pseudo open source.
They use less memory for inference but remember the details less well. For instance if you’re implementing code and want edits, it will forget various functions to be part of the script. Even transformers aren’t perfect at this and SSMs are even worse. For many use cases, that ability isn’t needed as much so the memory savings is a bigger lever.
