Do you have a source for the claim that this isn't a crime because it didn't succeed? As a sanity check, checking the plain text of the CFAA, it covers attempted hacking as you'd expect. So distributing a system with a backdoor, introducing a backdoor, etc all seem quite comfortably covered by existing statues. Which makes sense since like, I don't want to say 'duh' because I think that probably wouldn't meet HN guidelines for discourse but I'm not sure what else to say. Even American politicians, as notoriously incompetent as our leaders can be sometimes, wouldn't miss a crime that obvious. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1030
Grandparent comment originally said, "But how are they going to repay that investment?". LOL, investors don't want repayment, they're gambling for a shot at a dump truck full of money. If they don't get that, thanks for playing the VC lottery, take care, bye.

Which begs the question, how is The Browser Company going to live up to the 550 million dollar valuation? I'm not fluent in VC-speak, but I think the math is something like this: you need $R in revenue annually to be valued at $V, where the difference between R and V is some multiple M, usually 10-50ish. Let's say 50, so R = $550/50 = $11 million/yr in revenue or a more conservative 20 multiple, R = $550/20 = $27.5 million/yr in revenue.

If they charge $10/month, then they need ~91k users, that gets them to $11 million in revenue from users directly. If they need to hit 27.5 million, then they need ~229k users paying $10 month.

Not the worst investment after you do the math, maybe it's theoretically a sustainable business.

But startups don't raise money at these numbers to become sustainable ten-million dollar-per-year businesses. Investors want that unicorn status most of the time. At that point, I don't know if the math makes sense because to be a unicorn you need like $50-100+ million in revenue per year. That's easily 3x or more users, you're approaching 500k-1 million monthly active users.

That's a lot of users for something Apple, Samsung, Mozilla and Google give away for free on all OSs already.

Edit: I just looked up their funding raising information. 137 million raised, and they're series A/B'ish right now. That's a lot of money, they definitely have big ambitions.
> potentially dangerous

> 2 + 2

You really couldn't come up with an actual example of something that would be dangerous? I'd appreciate that, because I'm not seeing reason to believe that an "output beyond the most likely one" output would end up ever being dangerous, as in, harming someone or putting someone's life at risk.

Thanks.
That is the situation that lead to me to wireproxy; I had a need to use Cloudflare Warp, and no desire to entrust their apt repository with updates to my system.

Added to that their official client has heaps of functionality I have no use for, and wireproxy does everything I want for this usecase with a comparatively tiny amount of code(5MB vs 400MB built). I started the evening with a wg-quick generated config that required root, and ended it using a simple unprivileged daemon that I can toggle easily.

Yes, it does. There's also audio of Don LaFontaine reading the ad in his signature movie trailer style [1] - I'm a little unclear on whether the YTMNDer requested it from him or if he came up with the idea himself, but it also predates the actual movie by a fair number of years.

This reads like having no more than passing familiarity, and no real experience with rust.

It (just like so many other languages) is fantastic for personal projects. Especially because you can target cross platform easily and get native performance.

Proclaiming any non-estoteric language is "almost useless to code in for personal or smaller projects" speaks volumes.

I've developed an AI platform called Social Assist, tailored for small businesses and professionals to effortlessly generate social media content.

Here's how it works:

Create an account and set up your business profile. That's all the setup needed!

Let the AI craft unique posts that fit your business vibe. You can adjust the tone to anything from professional to humorous, sarcastic, and beyond. Plus, you can switch the output language to one of several major global languages.

Personalize your posts by adding your media or selecting from our library of free stock images. (Note: Video integration is on its way!)

Publish directly to your social media platforms. Currently, we support Facebook, with Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter in the pipeline.

Additionally, we've introduced a Campaign Generator, which you Provide a focus and duration, and it'll create a series of posts adhering to your campaign's narrative.

We're in early access and eagerly welcome testers to explore, experiment, and even break things. Your feedback is invaluable. Interested in going further? Use the discount code "SOCIAL50" for 50% off an early access discount.
> It's about kicking the brakes until culture catches up and absorbs impacts, not stopping

The ecosystem support is improving, and still needs help. I think we can drive both in parallel so that the framework feeds use cases to the ecosystem which then lead to more complex backends. It's hard to put one before the other, but can be a really powerful flywheel.

Although it's not listed on my landing, it is absolutely a goal of Celest to be a funnel for these use cases and partner with the community as we go to fill the gaps.

> But each time she reached a new milestone, she didn’t feel any real joy.

Because culturally, we put happiness over the cognitive horizon. A place we can never reach if we continue to believe that in order to be happy we must achieve certain goals.

I think the trick is to find happiness first, and then worry about goals. Counterintuitive but it’s much easier to pursue goals when you are in a happy place!

My (probably ignorant) thinking was that if there weren't propellers, just stalks, they could be arranged in a pattern that radar setups at multiple locations could see through gaps and between them have no dark spaces caused by the towers. Leaving the problem that the blades essentially block out an entire circle, but if the radar software knows the position of every turbine's blades (by a combination of turbines reporting location/speed/acceleration of blades in real time and maybe modelling so the radar system can know in time at least fairly if not very accurately where all blades are in a field of them) then when a radar bounces of one it can say "that doesn't count as a hit" leaving only non-turbine objects showing up in the UI that the radar setup outputs?

Is it that radar can't ping / receive at a high enough frequency to distinguish the difference between "this fraction of a ms the blade was at that location so we don't care about the radar hitting something, but the next fraction of a ms the blade had moved and we still got a ping from just behind it so there's something there"? Or some other problem with the idea?
Define "we". Professional SotA? Probably like 10 years. Open source? More like 100.
In practice, beam search doesn't seem to work well for generative models.

Temperature and top_k (two very similar parameters) were both introduced to account for the fact that human text is unpredictable stochastically for each sentence someone might say as such - as shown in this 2021 similar graph/reproduction of an older graph from the 2018/2019 HF documentation: https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2021-01-02-controllable-t...

It could be that beam search with much longer length does turn out to be better or some merging of the techniques works well, but I don't think so. The query-key-value part of transformers is focused on a single total in many ways - in relation to the overall context. The architecture is not meant for longer forms as such - there is no default "two token" system. And with 50k-100k tokens in most GPT models, you would be looking at 50k*50k = A great deal more parameters and then issues with sparsity of data.

Just everything about GPT models (e.g. learned positional encodings/embeddings depending on the model iteration) is so focused on bringing the richness of a single token or single token index that the architecture is not designed for beam search like this one could say. Without considering the training complications.

As a sanity check, attempted crime is still crime, so not a lawyer but part B isn't exactly ambiguous here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1030

In terms of a plausible business model - I mean that's conspiracy to commit crime, like of course that's illegal? And depending on the state actor and the target system - literally treason if it's a cyber attack as a part of a war? You can put whatever you want into a license or contract but obviously that doesn't let you override the actual law

I think that auto dimming has made that aspect so much worse. It fails often, and removes that aspect of driving from the driver's mind. They just don't think about it anymore and blind the fuck out of pedestrians and cyclists since the sensor doesn't pick them up.

Nebulous and ill-founded concern that my PC (2018 era) might suffer a little from the not-emulation-but-sorta-emulation layer of Proton. I haven’t researched this, though.

Mostly it is just bearable at the moment, and I think I’m probably about a year or so out from wanting to upgrade anyway, so I might just do it all at once.

> Science and society are inexorably interlinked and there is probably no field of human endeavour which does not have downsides

Ha! You're definitely not 62. This is something high schoolers and undergrads say and think is a profound and true observation but it's trivial.

An exercise: Try saying "there is probably no field of curing cancer which does not have downsides"

> Importance" is in the eye of the beholder I find.

No it isn't. Moral relativism will not get you far, which is what life teaches.

The whole point of education is to learn to discern an objective hierarchy of importance. E.g. play video games or study for test. We then say "that person has good judgement" when they can consistently figure out what is truly important which allows them to make progress in life.

The reason political battles, even if frequently silly, are so heated is because people do believe certain values are absolutely more important than those of their opponents and are willing to fight for them.

Anyway, now we're digressing. But thanks for the conversation and have a good week.
For sure, this is why I personally believe sharing platforms (Funnel, CF Tunnel, ngrok, zrok etc) should all have security hardening, WAF-type features, and auth so that anyone cannot just scan and access your services. To me, this is table stakes which Funnel does not provides.

People have grown shallow and mindless, not even recognizing that there is no substance behind many of the things they hear or read.

Now some genius might respond with "people have always been like this" and that is likely true, but the scale nowadays is vastly different. The omnipresence/constant exposure is making it worse and, because parents aren't actually raising their kids anymore, there is no entity left to correct all this
nonsense in the minds of the next generation.

Or it's being outlawed doing so, of course.

The recognition of file layout to parse file content is indeed a very innovative idea. Compared to many open-source projects we have seen before, this provides us with new ideas for using RAG to solve problems in the future. I hope the author of this project will continue to update it, so that more people can benefit from it.
> when you reach that stage, you're likely have already thrown out a lot of other common sense stuff like db normalisation to get there

Don't most databases set a length limit on ID strings?

If you're setting a length limit, and it's made out of digits with no leading zeroes, then you might as well store it as a number. Is there a downside?

Anomaly, fraud, outlier detection...

Google X was working on that with Everyday Robots (I used to work there) but they canceled the project. One of their old project leaders left and started Hello Robot, which is doing a much better job producing an actually useful thing. I think those robots are maybe $25k, but I’m not actually sure.
It works both ways with open models where _defence_ also advances in hands of majority.

With closed models and research only well funded entities participate (state actors and large corps).

If you want to draw parallels with advanced weapons, the difference is that weapon is also an antidote to itself.

What I find most interesting in the origin of the name is the theological context, "Daniel" => Judged by God, indiicating a theological conception that people are accountable to God for their behaviour. Compare this to Greek naming. Even from a slightly later period "Herakles" => Fame of Hera. A different relationship to their god(s).
I’m very happy with the mechanical design for my four axis brushless motor powered robot arm with integrated 3D printed planetary gearboxes. I have some hope of picking the project back up and better documenting it, though the CAD files explain a lot.

> Chatbots aren't nuclear bombs or "paradigm shifting intelligence infra". I wonder how long it'll take until the hysteria actually dies off.

This is one reason why I want AI to be as free and accessible as possible as quickly as possible. People are going to assume that AI is nothing short of magic until they get a chance to play around with it themselves. The sooner people stop panicking about things AI currently isn't and likely won't be for a very long time (if ever), the better we can focus on preventing it from being used inappropriately.

I don't think AI is going kill me in my sleep, or make us all unemployable, or brainwash me, but terrible AI could easily screw me over in all kinds of ways as companies and governments increasingly use it without oversight. AI replacing front line customer service/support is bad enough but police, doctors, and HR departments will happily use it and mistakes humans would have prevented will be inevitable.
No. I still don’t trust you with private key material in the way you want it here, even if you could just lift %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\… and take it.

You’ll do everything you can to lock people in, making it nigh impossible to move said private key material out to another security/password manager.
