My friend's father was on some form of opioid for much of my friend's life, due to a motorcycle accident that busted both his knees.

Towards the end, he was on Actiq, a lozenge form of fentanyl citrate iirc. Supposedly it was strong enough to be fatal for someone without any opioid tolerance.

These pills are probably much the same. Strong enough to get someone high who has built up a tolerance to everything else, but also strong enough to kill the uninitiated.

As a Xoogler one of the things I miss the most was srcfs/CitC(client in the cloud). It worked exactly as you were describing and also brought some very useful features including transparent read access to other users clients and time machine like capabilities.

Having done a fair amount of rust porting I imagine it’s a mix a both. Rust really is remarkably faster than Python at everything. But these results are indicative of a better algorithm as well.
What’s your experience with API cost? I've also tried something similar, but I often end up using up my balance too quickly.
Thanks. Absolutely no offense taken. No worries. I am used to frank communication and it occasionally doesn’t come out well in quick writing on the phone.

The main concern I have with frameworks is the inversion of control of the code logic, the lack of composition, the complexity of handling edge cases outside the scope of the framework. Frankly writing apps is not my thing typically. PyTorch is moderately unobtrusive, but other tools on top make tons of assumptions and break more often than they help in the long term. Of course with the current zoo of LLM and APIs and the coming popularity of agents, a lot of people will need some help to get started so I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. Here is some unsolicited advice: as the LLMs get better, you might want to focus on detailed documentation so that the future AIs can master your framework and help your users. Maybe measure the power of your documentation by finetuning in-house LLMs on it and then evaluate known test cases or create new ones with the finetuned models.

Are we at the "real legalization has never been tried" stage already?
The problem is that fentanyl is very strong, and drug traffickers have very poor quality controls. The LD50 is 0.03 mg/kg in monkeys, so if humans are like monkeys, a 70 kg human has a 50% chance of dying after ingesting 2 mg of fentanyl. A 1 mg pill of pure fentanyl would be very tiny.

So drug traffickers mix the fentanyl with baking soda, tramadol, starch, whatever cheap additive they can get their hands on. Each trafficker adds more, to make the product nonlethal, but mostly to increase bulk, and increase profit. Unfortunately, they use blenders, kitchen mixers, and their bare hands. They don’t invest in pharmaceutical grade equipment.

The mix is very uneven, so when an addict takes a hit, he or she may either get no buzz at all, get a nice high, or die of an overdose. Each hit is like Russian roulette.

If only drug traffickers had better equipment, and quality controls. The way things are today, when you buy illegal drugs you don’t know what the hell you’re getting.
> all decoders will render the same pixels

Not true. Even just within libjpeg, there are three different IDCT implementations (jidctflt.c, jidctfst.c, jidctint.c) and they produce different pixels (it's a classic speed vs quality trade-off). It's spec-compliant to choose any of those.

A few years ago, in libjpeg-turbo, they changed the smoothing kernel used for decoding (incomplete) progressive JPEGs, from a 3x3 window to 5x5. This meant the decoder produced different pixels, but again, that's still valid:

My main complaint about this: anyone paying attention knows that psychological "sciences" are deeply troubled fields at best. What I want to see is something like this study performed against what we think of as real sciences. Is the replication crisis universal, or is it localized?
The "payload" was devious in that it basically said: if $ssh_key && $payload.sig && $host.sig

Can't (easily) be replayed with a network capture against a different host or with a different payload, and can't be triggered without a specific key. Truly laser-like in focus.

My personal theory for "next step" would be: if uncompressing.contains( "linux" || "curl" ) => $extra.payload()

With such a skilled attack, and the potential to _deeply_ reach arbitrary public systems, imagine the chaos of "ssh github.com && pwn( curl, gzip, git, node, ... )"

...each stealthier than the last. Most SHA-sums are against the archive, not the individual file contents. An untrustable archiver or network transfer tool (especially in combination!) is terrifying...

financial privacy is the way you get corruption - i dont care if you dont want anyone to know you spent a bazillion dollars on your yacht, too bad. companies especially dont deserve special consideration in this respect. as a community we could expose corruption and greed at the highest levels if financial privacy ceased to be a thing.

Something that I remember from uni was having my intro to DBs class take place through the medium of PHP and the db connector for PostgreSQL. It was... not my favorite.

Ask HN: How did 0G Labs raise a $35M pre-seed round for "AI Modular Blockchain"?
0G Labs has apparently raised a $35M pre-seed funding round with no product, no customers, and no real team. Their press release and web site looks like a bunch of random buzzwords strung together: web3, blockchain, AI, dapps. Am I missing something or is this some crazy bubble?
The attacker would probably want to keep the exploit hidden, thus probably restricting themselves to data exfiltration rather than outright obvious attacks. Considering that’s it’s a state actor, perhaps people arrested and dark web sites shut down.
Say a couple lives in a house. They have a son, who lives with them.

The wife passes away.

1. Should her husband pay tax on her share of the house when it passes to him? Assuming these are not wealthy people, this may force the sale of the house.

2. Should the house go through probate? Should everyone move out while that happens?

The old man wants to leave the house to his son.

3. Should the son pay tax on the house when his father passes away?

4. Should he move out while the house goes through probate?

It is because of cases like these that we have ways to avoid going through probate.

It's often very difficult to assess fair value when it's not determined by an arms-length transaction. (That's one of the challenges faced by command economies). And even when it can be done, it takes a lot of work to do. Even the price of oil, or shares in a company, can fluctuate on a daily and regional basis. In an individual transaction it's even more difficult -- is this a loss-leader? Or a free sample? -- and when it's a unique, non-fungible good, still more difficult. The price of used assets sold at auction are all over the map. And for some assets there is very little active price discovery in the marketplace. That cryptocurrency that went up in price 1000x shortly after it changed hands, was that just a lucky call? Is that patent really worth $500k? That commercial property that's been without a tenant for nearly a decade, is it really worth an imputed rent of $40k/month when nobody has been willing to rent it at that price? ... But if these two companies signed a contract that values it at that figure as collateral for a loan, then maybe that's the market price? As they say, location location location, right? Etc.

Never thought I'd even consider this, but is this a case where those involved, producing and developing, this software should be tried for murder/crimes against humanity?

My understanding is that AI in it's current form is not an applicable technology to be anywhere near this type of use.

Again my understanding: Inference models by their very nature are largely non-deterministic, in terms of being able to evaluate accurately against specific desired outcomes. They need large scale training data available to provide even low levels of accuracy. That type of training data just isn't available, its all likely to be based on one big hallucination, is my take. I'd be surprised if this AI model was even 10% accurate. It wouldn't surprise me if it was less than 1% accurate. Not that accuracy appears to be critical from what I've read.

The Guardian article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/israel-gaza-ai..., makes me wonder whether AI development should be allowed at all. Didn't even have that thought before today.

This specific application and the claimed rationale is as close as I have come to seeing what I consider true and deliberate "Evil application" of technology out in the open.

Is this a naive take?

The right to privacy, defined broadly as "the right to be let alone" (in speech / commerce) is enshrined in the US constitution, specifically 1st, 4th, and 14th amendments. Other constitutions do not protect this privacy.

> Drones, targeted missiles and now AI allow you to be ruthlessly efficient in killing an enemy

I understand what you are getting at, but if you read the article this is not how this technology is being used, rather the opposite. The AI seems to use very broad criteria / flimsy evidence to decide who is a target, and then it is chosen to strike them specifically when they get home and would typically be surrounded by civilians (mostly women and children).

Their own testing showed 1 in 10 selected targets were not actually militants, but because it is statistically 'correct' (despite loose definitions of correct) 90% of the time all targets will be bombed. Add the fact that collateral damage of 15-20 civilians is accepted even for the lowest ranking militants (and much higher for commanders) who are then targeted with unguided munitions, which makes this quite a lot less 'targeted' and 'efficient' than e.g. US drone strikes in Afghanistan.
The issue with financial information being more out in the open is it also strengthens the most powerful incumbents, most notably states.

Credit scores are a good example of a financial privacy violation used to keep the poorest poorer. When the data leaks and people suffer waves of identity theft a slap on the wrist is issued and 5 free years of credit monitoring are handed out. After year 6, well it's the consumers responsibility to pay for that, not the financial data hoarders.
Why is it in the public interest to know who owns a company? Sure for specific groups of people, transparency is in order (elected politicians etc.) but wouldn’t financial disclosure laws work better? Why isn’t it the general public’s prerogative to know that I own 5% of a shell company (LLC) set up specially for the purpose of pooling an investment in a new venture?

shell companies are just companies, suppose the vast majority of which are formed for perfectly normal reasons,
They have released those at points in the past; I'm not sure if they're doing it on an ongoing basis, and their numbers include a large number of unidentified casualties. I think those usually make up about a third or so if I remember correctly.

Not included are a large number of missing people, and all the people who die of secondary causes like maltutrition, disease outbreaks, and poor access to proper medical care.

Nobody really knows what the real casualty figures are, but I'm inclined to take the Gaza Health Ministry's numbers seriously -- as do Israel and the US, as you already mentioned.
>These things constantly change and who has time for all of that?

While Apple does change some things with some regularity, the change from "Zoom Window" to "Full Screen" for the green button (and it's alternate behavior when holding option) has been in place since 10.7, 13 years ago. The ability to double click a window titlebar to get the same effect has been in place since the classic mac OS days. I imagine most people have time within a 13 year period to type "Maximize" into the Help search and read the "Move and arrange app windows" topic, and specifically the "Maximize or minimize app windows" section therein.

> If a company doesn't do any business, then it shall not have a right to exist as it has no reason to exist, as the reason companies exist is to do business.

One typical use of shell companies in mineral exploration is to obfuscate regions of interest from the prying eyes of competitors.

If some wants to gather lease ownership of a large number of small leases in (say) a province of Canada then it's a matter of public record that mining|exploration leases change ownership in public records.

The end goal here is to publicly declare ownership after exploration results (geochimistry, prelim drilling, etc) have been assesed by third party technical reports and put a prospect on the stock market to attract investors. This gets a bit complex when someone else owns a band of rights dead centre through your ROI.

This is a use of shell companies that's distinct from hiding assets from taxation, it's obfuscation for the purpose of getting ducks lined up before going public.
