I use Thunderbird for RSS, too. Once got bitten by some browser extension that stopped working all of a sudden, and didn't let me export (except copy pasting each feed URL on its own, with clicks inbetween each time).

My most important/only rule for feeds is: Add nothing that updates more than once a day. Such websites are better off as bookmark in the browser.

And from my ~200 feeds only a fraction actually hit that limit. So I have a nice manageable chunk of unreads every day!
You seem to argue that AGI is undefinable. But it's not hard to define. And once you have my definition, you realize there's nothing to hype.

Let's first agree that GI is general intelligence - the ability to make effective observations and statements about general situations.

You and I are biological GIs, even though there are some situations that we won't be useful in. In general, we are useful.

GPT4 is also a GI, and it's artificial. That's an AGI.

There's no hook line or sinker to swallow:

1. Anyone telling you about secret God like AGI is bullshiting you.

2. Anyone claiming gpt4 is not generally useful is also bullshiting you

If you are not convinced about item 2, I can show you examples of GPT4 being generally useful for a wide variety of tasks, including soft skills like business planning, emotional analysis, and conflict resolution.

I think the author's criticism of EA would be more, uh, effective, if they summarized their main arguments in a few short paragraphs. The article is way too long.
Quite.

My firm have a Nessus scanner and we point it at ourselves as well as our customers. There are also several checks on the monitoring system that will flag if something suddenly starts working.

Background radiation is about right.

Run up a honeypot VM with a web service on it and watch the logs with something like lnav. You soon get a feel for how fast the legitimate (and I use that term advisedly) crawlers like Google and that rock up along with the others.

You will see a lot of hits from things with a Github link within their agent header - script kiddies or perhaps clever kiddies pretending to be script kiddies - more analysis needed. You will also see hits from agents claiming to be Google or Bing or Firefox on Commodore 64. Again, careful packet analysis, IP lists etc can be instructive ... if you can be arsed.

Anyway.

Humans cannot see network traffic. When you instruct your firewall to do something via its GUI or CLI you are merely providing instructions that may or may not actually do anything. Do feel free to actually test it. nmap, for example, is available for port testing and much, much more.
This looks amazing, but the docs mention .llamafiles exceed the Windows executable size limit, and there are workarounds to externalize the weights. Do you think this is an impediment to its becoming popular? Or is MS consumer hardware just far enough behind (w/o dedi gpu) that “there’s time”?

I heard FB config is decent
One of the first Ajax projects I worked on was multi tenant, and someone decided to solve the industrial espionage problem by using random 64 bit identifiers for all records in the system. You have about a .1% chance of generating an ID that gets truncated in JavaScript, which is just enough that you might make it past MVP before anyone figures out it’s broken, and that’s exactly what happened to us.

So we had to go through all the code adding quotes to all the ID fields. That was a giant pain in my ass.
It's entirely the cost/perf of access to the larger amounts of VRAM that keeps rendering on CPUs now. GPUs are strictly better in almost every way for rendering (We could have some arguments about technical precision, FP calculations, etc. but with modern cards these arguments are largely semantics, you can have output that is accurate to the level that any human watching for entertainment purposes will not be able to determine any physical inaccuracies that arise from a GPU render vs. CPU.), except the need for large amounts of VRAM being quite expensive at current.

But that's already been changing, and we are seeing studios moving to fully GPU based pipelines. Wylie Co, who are a major visual effects company (Dune part 1 and 2, marvel movies, the last of us, a bunch of others) are now a 100% GPU shop. The trend is towards more and more GPU rendering, not less.

With AI providing another strong incentive towards increasing the amount of VRAM on GPUs, I don't see any reason to believe that trend will reverse.
Same but on the back of my hand.
One thing that this article doesn’t mention is that compilers could and typically would reuse the memory of all those “secret global variables”.

As an easy example, leaf functions can reuse memory addresses that other leaf functions use for arguments, local variables and return addresses.

It goes much further, though. Reuse can happen as soon as you can prove foo doesn’t call bar directly or indirectly and vice versa.

Software libraries wasn’t really invented yet, other than as stacks of punch cards containing source code or simulated stacks of punch cards, so compilers knew the call graph of the entire program and could optimize this as hard as they could.

Dynamic code loading could, of course, break that, but that wasn’t really a thing, either, in languages such as Fortran and Cobol..
You're saying that diarization quality is dependent on speaker isolation? I should have clarified, to my knowledge whisper does not perform that step, and whether I need to do diarization is what I'm trying to figure out. (Probably I do.) Pyannote.audio has been suggested, but I ran into some weird dependency thing I didn't feel like troubleshooting late last night, so I have not been successful in using it yet.
I don't quite get how these signals intend to be efficient while using pull-based evaluation. A pull-based model potentially requires touching the entire object graph to check if one value needs to be recomputed on get(). It makes for a simple but inefficient implementation.
Another example might be the Anglo-Saxons "invasion" of Britain near the end of the Western Roman Empire. The reason why the Anglo-Saxons migrated to Britain isn't entirely clear but it appears throughout history there are periods of mass population movements due to various reasons such as climate change, population explosions or invasion by "steppe people" as Dan Carlin refers to them.
Thanks for getting me to take a second look at the hobby.

I did build a half-size second cabinet because I had enough hardware sitting around. There are so many tables that the smaller machine just has EM tables on it, the big one has the SS tables that the wife likes.
Wasn’t it just the Toyota pickup and then the T100 back then (My Dad had an 83 but got rid of it when I was in elementary school)? But I know what you mean. Could the old Tacomas take a 4X8 sheet? I think they were a bit small for that. The Ford lightning seems about the right size, but if they’d make a fully electric Maverick, I’d be tempted.
My favorite story kinda of this nature, of an expert as alien intelligence, was Feynmann's calculations about computer architecture of the Connection Machine:

https://longnow.org/essays/richard-feynman-connection-machin...

It's a few paragraphs, maybe too much to quote, but the bulk of it starts with:

> By the end of that summer of 1983, Richard had completed his analysis of the behavior of the router, and much to our surprise and amusement, he presented his answer in the form of a set of partial differential equations. To a physicist this may seem natural, but to a computer designer, treating a set of boolean circuits as a continuous, differentiable system is a bit strange. [...] Our discrete analysis said we needed seven buffers per chip; Feynman's equations suggested that we only needed five. We decided to play it safe and ignore Feynman.

Guess who was right.

The whole essay is worth reading, if you haven't yet.
Without going into anything confidential - we had some of our own hardware, but generally rented capacity from firms like [0]. Some towers were custom built for HFT, some were shared with other types of users.

A famous blog post investigating some of the towers as an outsider, at [1], will be of interest to you.

If you want to guess where they are, get a globe, find the datacentres where electronic exchanges operate (it's not a secret: Chicago, New Jersey, London, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Zurich...) and draw the straightest possible lines between pairs of them. Microwaves don't cross the ocean.

You’ll note one of the specific purposes the link lists for the shipping attacks is to distract from domestic failures in Yemen.

It’s not an outlandish position to say that the Israeli/Hamas conflict is a secondary reason for the Houthi shipping attacks.
My wife's grandparents on her father's side were Swedish immigrants to the USA, but her father has never known much at all about the Swedish background. A few years ago my wife got really into the ancestry.com thing, and after doing some digging, discovered that her father's first name is what his family's last name was in Sweden, up until migrating to America. While they took on a different, common last name as many did back then, they passed the old name on in their son. I thought this was fascinating, and so did he, as he never knew any of this, either!

Just another Daniel born in '86 sharing an interesting name origin story. (My own isn't as wild -- my mother loved the Elton John song.)
Aye. And now they want to control email security, not just Gmail security.
The problem with that (which I have seen in practice) is that you are essentially hard coding the maximum precision you will accept for every client that needs to interpret your JSON.

For example, you say you store monetary amounts as cents. What if you needed to store US gas prices, which are normally priced in amounts ending in 9/10ths of a cent? If you want to keep your values as integers you need to change your precision, which will likely mess up a lot of your code.
It was both. The binary object file was obfuscated in two "test" xz files in the repo itself. The code to extract the object file and inject it into the build process was only in the GitHub release tarball.

The code in the tarball could have been prevented if only automated tarballs were permitted (for instance, GitHub's branch/tag source tarballs) or caught after the fact by verifying the file hashes in the tarball against those in the repo.

Ok so gp was talking about businesses. You are talking about the fact that money is power which is a fundamental problem, though a different one. Not sure how to solve it but stronger controls on political donations and lobbying would help.

So much labor history has been forgotten. Here's the founding document of the International Labor Organization.[1] This was, when it was founded, on a par with the World Trade Organization. The ILO position, mainstream at the time, was that wages are an output, not an input. The purpose of economic activity is to maximize worker wages. Not return on capital.

That few people today even know this was once mainstream is the result of a very effective lobbying campaign started in the early 1970s. Milton Friedman provided the theory, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce providing the money. There was a master plan for this, the Lewis Powell Memorandum.[2] This is where the organized conservative movement came from, from think tanks to talk shows.

It did, actually: the filename can contain terminal control characters, which thanks to the change from safe_fprintf to fprintf, were printed without escaping, which allows the creator of the archive being extracted to control the terminal of the user extracting the archive.
If you install Windows XP from the release CD and attach it to the public internet, and let it sit, unless your ISP filters out the file sharing ports, I think it will get taken over fairly quickly. But windows vista and later don't make services available by default.

It's also very popular for ISPs to drop traffic on the windows file sharing ports, because it's almost all either malicious or at least unintentional.
fwiw I don't think you overreacted. It's not like anyone's making hbn read this story. it's like complaining about the movie Titanic, that because we know the boat sinks, its not worth watching.

The bachelors degree is not a piece of paper in the same way that a long resume is not the same as experience gained. Either is useless if they are not representative of an underlying truth.

The point of the experience is that it allows you to produce more value with the same inputs.

To wit: nations with higher educational attainment do not see the averaging that you suggest, instead they see rather remarkable standards of living.
Had two with tiny chiptunes ICs. 1990s vintage. A keyboard had a "turn me off" beep sequence and then did a 2 tone "battery flat" and stopped. The other was a flip phone which played "merrily we drive along" if you pressed a magic key sequence we never memorised, and faked out a police car siren on another, which was moderately distressing.

The keyboard had 2 key rollover and was a bit bistable which one persisted. I think the keypress reader algorithm was possibly on a slow timer?

> Am I the only one that thinks the vanilla js example is actually easier to read and work with?

Even if that were true for this example, the signal-based model grows linearly in complexity and overhead with the number of derived nodes. The callback-based version is super linear in complexity because you have an undefined/ unpredictable evaluation order for callbacks producing a combinatorial explosion of possible side effect traces. It also scales less efficiently because you could potentially run side effects and updates multiple times, where the signal version makes additional guarantees that can prevent this.
This would be a serious problem for me. I would no longer be able to eat moon rocks, as a vegan.
This looks like a very phony "debate".

I think the most convincing case made about the sock puppets is around account creation dates, and also people disappearing after they get what they need. Like Jigar disappearing after Jia becomes maintainer. Or the guy "misoeater19" who creates his debian bug tracker account to say that his work is totally blocked on needing xz 5.6.1 to be in debian unstable.

I’m criticizing panpsychism as a theory of the universe, not as a theory of consciousness. But even as the latter, neither does it explain much of anything, nor does it make any useful predictions I’m aware of.

Personally I don’t make the claim that all humans or even I myself are conscious, because I find the notion of consciousness to be too ill-defined.
