Yeah, rootless smartphone-to-smartphone (or tablet) is a harder problem to solve without an intermediary device.

But! That intermediary device could be something like a Raspberry Pi Zero.

It isn't "low power" by the strictest definitions, but it is also not particularly expensive power-wise -- it can be powered with USB OTG from a smartphone from the past decade or so. And it is very small, which also counts.

It can obviously run a real Linux distro (or just parts of one), but can also run OpenWRT -- which by nature tends to tolerate intermittent power very well.

It's theoretical, but (again in theory): A Zero W running OpenWRT might be a relatively simple path for a portable hotspot abuser.

First, dump OpenWRT onto an SD card, plug it in an and get in there with a browser -- however that is done.

Second: Create an interface or two for getting hotspot data into it: Maybe one of them via wifi, and another via USB tethering from the connected phone.

Third: Test. At least the Pi itself should have Internet connectivity by this point.

Fourth: Set it up as a wifi access point (I think that chipset can do both at once in OpenWRT), and get NAT going.

Fifth: Utter the well-documented incantations for mangling TTL on all of the hotspot interfaces.

Sixth: Wrap it in nice 3M Super 33+ electrical tape for posterity and a minimum of protection for those tiny SMD parts.

Seventh: ???

Eighth: Profit!!! Or, better: Push the resulting SD card image to the usual places, with correct attribution and license compliance, so that others can benefit more-easily.

Seems doable. To use, just power it on/plug it in, and turn tethering/hotspot on with the donor phone. And then connect other phones to the WiFi AP provided by the Pi.

It'll eat phone batteries pretty quick, but it might last long enough to get someone else out of a jam. (It'll also work well on a portable power bank, and those are also cheap.)

How a Ruby Method Becomes a Rails Action
We have tons of specialized components that work together cooperatively and competitively. There’s multiple ways they connect. There also seems to be global processes that happen, like during sleep. There’s over 3,000 cell types per the BRAIN initiative. Every brain forms on it’s own taking shape like something out of a Transformers movie.

God’s design is mostly nothing like man’s neural networks. It’s far superior. Brains are also what’s creating all the artificial, neural nets on top of all math, tech, and economic systems that they run on. AI’s got a lot of catching up to do.
Definitely going to try it out! Any show-stoppers that would cause issues?
LLMs already are intelligent. They're not the same as humans, but they are able to give intelligent answers to highly nontrivial questions.
How is this implemented in practice? Special care to keep io on the outermost layers? Never thought about software in this way. Seems really tough, but interesting

Wonder how well it scales to larger applications. Ie is there a codesize where io-less becomes too difficult? Perhaps performance concerns? Hmm

> We need highly secure systems at scale or we must disconnect safety-critical systems

I agree, and safety-critical systems are getting disconnected now, or are in the process of being disconnected.

The biggest issue is disconnected your Shadow IT environment - basically those systems and environments running without the knowledge of your security, development, or platform teams.

Most attacks we've seen in Utilties and Healthcare environments have directly occured on those kinds of systems.

A Formally Verified OS is helpful, but would not solve this kind of an Asset Management and Inventory problem

> ROI is poor if nobody cares

Even if I'm Google scale in budget, I need to prioritize vuln patching, compliance needs, misconfiguration prevention, architectural designs, etc.

On the scale of things, a kernel based attack is relatively lower on the scale of actionable vulnerabilities.

> should we rely on processes that have failed to produce secure systems for decades, or should be rely on processes that have demonstrably achieved a level of security that most people believe to be impossible

Let's say you are running formally verified OS that everyone is using. Maybe you've airgapped this system, yet there is a memory based attack that was recently published in the NVD. A formally verified OS would not have solved it.

There is a reason those IBM Mainframes wand Green Hills RTOSes with EAL5+ certification are airgapped and access locked down.

Runtime level attacks make up maybe 40% of all vectors of attack - a large but not singular cause.
Nah, it applies to the person trying to get away with the murder. People will do really, really intricate jobs of trying to cover up, then slip up because like, they leave a receipt in their car that accidentally breaks their alibi.
It's incorrect to assume that more data points implies more accurate pricing, as we're talking about very limited very simplistic models. It's more plausible to envision those extra data points serving to confuse the market and make it less competitive, rather than actually helping to accurately price risk.

Every new data point partitions the statistical population size into two smaller parts, each with their own larger variance (ie the insurance company's risk). The insurance company could statistically combine the risk from each partition into the same original, but it's more likely they'll focus on the higher independent risk figures and raise premiums an outsized amount to cover each individually. And this effect is going to be more pronounced the more lopsided the partition is, leading to similar monoculture incentives as we see in the mortgage/housing bubble. For example, I'd bet there's somewhat of a correlation between insurance claims and whether a house is painted beige.

That is how rates can go up even when the extra data is fundamentally sound. But there can also be just enough extra information to be damning, but not enough to exonerate. For example after the "Do you have a trampoline" question, is there a follow up of "Do you let guests use it" ? Or perhaps a more formal "opt out of all liability coverage for the trampoline" ? Likely not.

Then of course there are places where the model is irrelevant or even outright wrong, because the thing being singled out seems like it rocks the boat. Like the driver surveillance devices that penalize focused acceleration due to perceived association with racing, when it's much more likely that the driver is actually paying attention to driving. Or penalizing people for going over the posted speed limit, when it's actually safer to go the prevailing speed of the road.

First of all just because a water source is natural doesn't make it safe. Sea water, sulfonate rich springs, etc are bad for drinking.

That there are places around the world that have high with F doesn't make it safe. There are places in the world that had catastrophically high rates of cretinism. Turns out it was a natural factor in an otherwise idyllic natural setting.

I am aware that fluorine is supposed to accumulate in your teeth and doesnt in "soft" tissue; but it also accumulates in your bones and anywhere there is calcium.

Many countries around the world have natural fluoride in their groundwater (much of Europe), use other dietary sources for fluoride (salt), or have a significant dietary component that naturally contains fluoride (tea).

What makes water fluoridation good public health policy isn’t that we do it blindly; it’s that it gets balanced against demographic and geographic factors that don’t necessary apply everywhere else in the world.

Hah, no. I do mean terabytes.

There's ways to get this done (at least here in the US) for those who are sufficiently motivated.
I weep for this period of time where we don't have sticky disks readily available for builds. Uploading the layer cache each time is such a coarse and time-consuming way to cache things.

Maybe building from scratch all the time is a good correctness decision? Maybe stale values in disks is a tricky enough issue to want to avoid entirely?

If you keep a stack of disks around and grab a free one when the job starts you'd end up with good speedup a lot of the time. If cost is an issue you can expire them quickly. I regularly see CI jobs spending >50% of their time downloading the same things, or compiling the same things, over and over. How many times have I triggered an action that compiled the exact same sqlite source code? Tens of thousands?

Maybe this is fine, I dunno.
I've made a moderate attempt at avoiding fluoride most of my life. I got my first and only cavity 7 years ago when I was 29.

> It isn't just about lawsuits, it is also about damages payouts. In the US, there is a very broad constitutional right to a jury trial, which extends to civil lawsuits; and (in many cases) the law entrusts the jury, not just with deciding whether the plaintiff has factually proven their case, but also with awarding damages.

The big damages are punitive damages, not damages for compensation. Since we have rather lax consumer protection laws we rely on the companies being afraid of having to deal with a huge lawsuit payout if they act suitably antisocial. Like the McDonalds hot coffee lady only asked for medical bills, but because McDonalds corporate refused to give her those, and continued to keep coffee boiling hot regardless of people getting injured that they knew happened constantly, because it made them money, the jury made it a point to award a ludicrous judgement to teach them a lesson.
> If one is able to avoid the terms of the contract by claiming one didn't read it, the whole system falls apart.

Except, Courts have ruled that you can, at least sometimes, get out of the fine print of a contract by claiming you didn't read it. For example, see the notable 1962 Supreme Court of California case, Steven v. Fidelity Casualty Co [0].

In 1957, plaintiff purchased a life insurance policy covering plane crashes, from a vending machine in Los Angeles, with his wife as the beneficiary. His itinerary took him from LA to Chicago, and from there to Dayton, Ohio. On his return from Dayton to Chicago, he'd scheduled a one night stopover in Terre Haute, Indiana. In the morning, he went to the airport in Terre Haute, and was distressed to discover the flight had been cancelled due to technical issues, and he was going to miss his connection in Chicago. The airline agent referred him to a charter airline, who organised a charter flight for him and a handful of other passengers back to Chicago. Sadly, the charter flight crashed, and he died.

His widow sought to claim on the life insurance policy. The insurer denied the claim, on the grounds that the fine print of the policy said that it only applied to scheduled air carriers, not charter flights, and hence the flight on which the insured died was excluded. His widow sued the insurance company in the name of her deceased husband. The trial court sided with the insurer, on the grounds that this clause was clearly stated in the fine print of the policy, which the policyholder was expected to have read, and he had signed to say that he had.

However, on appeal, the Supreme Court of California overturned the judgement, and ruled for the widow. It held that, for consumer insurance contracts, any clause or exclusion which the policyholder could not have reasonably expected, must be pointed out prominently, not buried in the fine print. Since, it ruled, the policyholder had no particular reason to expect the exclusion of charter flights, and the insurer had not prominently stated that exclusion in the policy (e.g. by using a larger font), it was not legally binding.

And, from what I understand, the rule established in this 1962 case is followed in California law to this day, and has also been adopted by the courts of several other US states

I’m not talking about mineral springs, or chugging a glass of seawater. I’m talking about the groundwater for much of continental Europe.

Again: it’s supposed to bioaccumulate there. Bioaccumulation is a part of homeostasis; the fact that iron (calcium, etc.) bioaccumulates is neither a reason to avoid it nor to exceed a healthy dietary quantity. And the evidence is overwhelmingly supportive of municipal fluoride levels being both safe and sufficient for dental health.

All Harleys that are sold comply with the legal limit. It's the owners that put on third-party exhausts that cause the noise.

I agree. The notion that everything must be docker is nice in principle but requires a lot of performance optimization work early on. Earlier than one would need with "sticky disks" as you called them.
Except that a weather forecasting model can't experiment on weather, but a LLM system may be designed to be able to perform experiments and take feedbacks?
The fact that the guys developing the code weren't also simultaneously running valgrind and watching performance isn't hard to believe. They were targeting servers and appliances, how many servers and appliances do you know of that are running valgrind in their default image?

Sure, in hindsight that's a "duh, why didn't we think of that" - but also it's not very hard at all to see why they didn't think of that. They were likely testing against the system images they were hoping to compromise, not joe-schmoe developer's custom image.
I think more or less the same thing about the word "meme" as you have used it.
You have a “legal” spelling of your name, likely registered with the government and an airline name. That’s really common. I imagine it’s like that for most of the world’s population. So for the headline, I’d say, you do what everybody else does and enter what the airline accepts. Your passport might even have the correct airline version printed on it.

It’s weird this airline has trouble with spaces in names as every flight I’ve flown with in the last 20 years has asked for first and middle names in the given name field.
In this thread, we will see the method of reasoning where people decide conclusions that are unacceptable and then proceed to dismiss as false by definition all facts and data that lead to any one of those unacceptable conclusions.

On the contrary, sit and listen in a college cafeteria, and it quickly becomes apparent most conversation participants are LLMs.*

> Simulating isnt emulating...

These are not synonyms, true.

> an LLM is as likely to become intelligent as a forecast is to control the weather.

I don't see uncertainty of intelligence as a property of an LLM as being equivalent to certainty of weather control as a effect of a forecast.

Among other things, whether weather was controlled would tend to be agreed by all observers, while it's often unclear if intelligence is being observed in these threads. :-)

* While my last line was a joke, humans in LLM mode was not. We can drive on autopilot, and get where we need to go while not being able to remember how we got there. We definitely converse on autopilot, indistinguishably from LLMs talking to each other, after an opening line every word of every sentence in the entire exchange perfectly predictable to a stranger. Are the speakers intelligent? What about the stranger who knows what they will say next? To say LLMs are not intelligent is easier if we agree humans spend a good deal of time being unintelligent.

First feedback I have is, when you click "Settings" > "Flush Storage" there is no "Hey this button will delete everything you have been working on are you sure you want to do this?" type message to confirm if someone wants to actually flush the storage.

Even in the US, this is not true. The Blue Cash Preferred and Everyday Preferred cards have foreign transaction fees, as does the Business Green card.

They mention all those features of databases, presenting them as important:

> Databases are a nightmare to write, from Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID) requirements to sharding to fault recovery to administration - everything is hard beyond belief.

Then talk about their geospatial requirements, PostGIS etc, making it seems they need geospatial features ("PostGIS for geospatial data storage" -- wtf? you need PostGIS for geospatial query not merely storage...)

In reality, they did not require any of the features they mention throughout the article. What a weird write-up!

I guess the conclusion is "read the F*-ing specs". Don't grab a geospatial DBMS just because you heard the words "longitude" and "database" once.
