Makes sense to me. They're a browser that you have to sign up for an account to use - they were never going to replace any major browser. At first they marketed as that - a browser with some additional features on top. They, as a browser, even had and still have a huge waitlist. But their recent direction into turning this into a product just makes a lot more sense. They still pretend like they can replace Chrome even though you need an account & they will likely add all these paid features which will just narrow down their audience, but that marketing will probably change. Adding new features and becoming less of this pseudo generalized but locked-down browser is a good thing for their product, IMO.

I think that to get truly working agents we need huge working context windows like 1M - 100M tokens everything before that will be kinda hackish.

It doesn't. Pedophiles aren't high up on the priorities of the Federalist Society or Heritage Foundation or whoever Thomas' latest sugar daddy is.

Random, off-topic observation: it seems like I see lots of open-source LLM prompts have prompts that aren't proofread. For example [0], "ounch", "he spend", general lack of punctuation, and so on. But the big model providers don't do this [1], so I'm curious how much impact proper grammar in prompts makes (and if it's a positive or negative impact).

Well that was quite the read. Wow.
i love those stories plus their detailed explanations because you can learn so much from them about technology, physics and even psychology.
Exactly. It was also my first real job as an IT manager, and I had just setup my first business wifi network for use with a shiny new Windows mobile scanner. So it definitely made me question if I was cut out for it.

I left the company last year, having grown to 700+ employees in pharmaceutical manufacturing, a far-cry from my one-man IT department for 20 employees making shampoo. And while there were many, many weird issues over the years, none was ever so satisfying to resolve.

> That's up to the whims of the US Supreme Court.

The supreme court is certainly biased in favor of conservatives.

But conservatives these days are generally much more in favor of free speech and libertarian arguments than the people on the left.

So, for this specific issue, you should be happy that the supreme court is more conservative and willing to support free speech arguments.
> unless they also grabbed a monopoly on the use of force and barred competition (basically became the state)

That's absolutely inevitable.

That's why I call it feudalism. What you just described is like the middle ages with various independent scattered kingdoms, or like a collapsed state where rival warlords compete for control, with the occassional uprising.
I know. These are the digital rights the Supreme Court is fighting for.

Looks like the slowdown is actually at sshd process startup time, not authentication time. So it's back to being completely impossible to network-probe for.

That runtime doesn't make any sense. This script creates a 1,000,000 line CSV string and then parses it into JSON in 700ms with Bun, and this is doing both things the slow way, creating the string with a giant array map and join, and parsing with a giant split('\n') on newline and map.

I set up something similar using network namespaces with Wireguard and tinyproxy. But performance wasn't stellar. Interested how this performs.
He is also one of the sharpest developers I have had the fortune to speak to (and do some minor work with on the mailing list) and he knows a lot about performance and profiling. I 100% think that he found it on his own. He would also be an odd choice for Microsoft to pick since I doubt he works anywhere close to any of their security teams (unless they went through some serious lengths to find just the guy where it would be 100% believable that he just stumbled on it).
Yeah a quick Google brings up lots of real Jia Tans who clearly aren't behind this and hopefully aren't being wrongly accused here. But it is clearly a real and common name.
"Fighting for"? That's laughable.

"Better" is such a subjective word in AI. I don't think it will be better than GPT4 in most areas. It's very difficult to imagine 3b or less being good in the general domain without some kind of current-day-math-subverting breakthroughs.

However, something like Siri would need a very specialized model and a lot of value would come from its integration with apps. So in that sense, it could be a lot better at these specific tasks through training data curation than even very large models.

3B models can run quite well on consumer hardware, probably they'd work reasonably locally on iPhones. 250M would fly on an iPhone. I wonder if that's what they're aiming for. The models could also be so small because that makes sense in R&D, at this stage.

But ultimately, most of the value to the user would probably come from how these models integrate with the app ecosystem. What's the point of making them generally smart if that will just cost exponentially more compute? From what we've seen with Llama2, for example, the compute costs go up exponentially for any sort of cleverness in the broad general domain of knowledge. In other words, the power law of the long tail/strongly diminishing returns apply for utility per kWh spent.

Hope Apple is thinking this, I'd rather not tack on unnecessarily large compute costs to my iCloud subscription.
I'm not sure. It was long ago, but I remember I couldn't repeat the behavior myself and I knew about ctrl+alt+del since before win 95 existed.

Not my claim either.

This is my claim: human trials started before animal trials were finished:

> While testing processes do typically take years, this also factors in the production to testable levels of said vaccines, whereas mRNA vaccines are far more quickly and efficiently produced, reducing this time dramatically.

The quickness of production is unrelated to how long it takes to test its effects.

> Also to be taken into account, work on coronavirus vaccination in humans had already been in the pipeline since the Avian Flu crises. This wasn't something new.

Can you point out the mRNA vaccines developed then?

Nice. What do you use it for?

I used to work at Ubisoft during the whole controversy about Denuvo killing performance in one of the recent Assassins Creeds - all I can say is we've done extensive investigation into this internally, as well as worked with Denuvo to assess these claims and they were just not true, but of course the court of public opinion has spoken so nothing we did or said could have changed it at that point.
Ah, well that's quite simple: I'm dumb:) Or ignorant rather. But seriously, until reading your comment it never once occurred to me that it wasn't invented by (open)ssh; I assumed one of the "S"s stood for SSH (probably "SOCKets over Ssh"). And better yet, because that made sense, it never crossed my mind to question it. So, uh, thanks:)
You have these the wrong way around. LIFO is a stack, FIFO is a queue.

Hydrus, a revolution in underwater robotic technology, was recently sent to the treacherous depths of the Rottnest ship graveyard located in the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of Western Australia. Upon unloading its data, the team was ecstatic to discover Hydrus had spotted a 64-metre shipwreck scattered across the seafloor.

...

Specialising in shipwreck photogrammetry, Curtin University HIVE was able to rebuild a high-resolution replica of the wreck, using the data gathered by Hydrus. This involved taking 4K geo-referenced imagery and video footage from Hydrus to generate a 3D digital twin of the shipwreck.

Does anyone have any suggestions on something that's a little higher quality, i.e. more torque and larger, like the size of a UR5 but cheaper than $30k? There's always seems to be a gap between "robot arm with dynamixels/off the shelf servos" and "research-grade arms".
Many a time I’m surprised by how good Siri’s description of images is. I let Siri speak out some notifications when I’m wearing my EarPods:

- $person sent a picture of a group of people waiting at an airport.

- $person sent a screenshot of a social media website with an image and a caption.

- $person sent a picture of a dog sleeping on a wooden floor.

All of this to say: I’m not surprised they’re investing further into this.

Absolutely. It's the same here. Have been a few times to snowboarding. Our snow is also right good in the Alps.

But stopped it because of the fees and prices. It's not like I can't afford, it's more like "destroy the nature AND Pay a lot for it" - it should be otherwise!

I think this analysis is more interesting if you consider these two events in particular:

2024-02-29: On GitHub, @teknoraver sends pull request to stop linking liblzma into libsystemd.[1]

(not in the article) 2024-03-20: The attacker is now a co-contributor for a patchset proposed to the Linux kernel, with the patchset adding the attacker as a maintainer and mirroring the attacker's activity with gaining the trust over the development of xz-utils.

A theory is that the attacker saw the sshd/libsystemd/xz-utils vector as closing soon with libsystemd removing its hard dependency on xz-utils. When building a Linux kernel image, the resulting image is compressed by default with gzip [3], but can also be optionally compressed using xz-utils (amongst other compression utilities). There's a lot of distributions of Linux which have chosen xz-utils as the method used to compress kernel images, particularly embedded Linux distributions.[4] xz-utils is even the recommended mode of compression if a small kernel build image is desired.[5]

If the attacker can execute code during the process of building a new kernel image, they can cause even more catastrophic impacts than targeting sshd. Targeting sshd was always going to be limited due to targets not exposing sshd over accessible networks, or implementing passive optical taps and real time behavioural analysis, or receiving real time alerts from servers indicative of unusual activity or data transfers. Targeting the Linux kernel would have far worse consequences possible, particularly if the attacker intended to target embedded systems (such as military transport vehicles [6]) where the chance of detection is reduced due to lack of eyeballs looking over it.

the motivation behind zig#1840 is that while the functions in ntdll aren't as well documented as the kernel32 functions, theyre not unstable and not having our binaries depend on kernel32.dll would lead to faster startup times as well as allow us to do things like use more performant algorithms for UTF-8 <-> UTF-16 conversion. on top of the things mentioned in the issue like having APIs with more powerful features.

In the decades before 1177 BC, there were eight empires on the Mediterranean. After, there were three barely-surviving city-states. That the "sea people" came into the picture just as things collapsed is not a coincidence. They were largely the desperate displaced people from fallen civilizations, both victims and agents of violence, acting in a feedback loop. It took centuries to recover; there's a reason it's called the Greek Dark Ages.
Let me put it like this. When taking psychedelics, you may see long dead people, hear voices, etc. These things are real experiences, but that doesn't mean that the long dead person really came to visit you, it's just a construct of your mind under the effects of the psychedelic. That experience is of course an aspect of reality, but it is not proof that dead people can sometimes re-materialize and visit us. Not even the person who had the experience believes that (usually).

So in the same way, if under the effects of psychedelics you get a sense that everything around you is conscious in some way, that's a valid experience, but it does not mean we should take an absurd idea like panpsychism seriously as a theory of reality.
