Thanks for sharing. Not much traction, but I liked it.
I mostly agree with this but I would like to emphasise that Bell's theorem emphatically doesn't tell you the universe isn't deterministic. It tells you there isn't a local hidden variables model for it (under appropriate assumptions).

There are deterministic models which "escape" Bell's theorem's assumptions. In particular you can assume superdeterminism (which makes it very hard to do physics) or alternatively Everettian "many worlds" quantum mechanics is completely consistent with Bell's theorem.
Similar, but life hit me fairly hard in my early thirties. Things can and will go wrong for all of us. Being in a pit of actual negativity is an interesting place to be.

Which led me to mindfulness practice and understanding what "the flow" is. Maybe something to consider along with whatever stoicism practice entails.

The claim "The Universe is a Computer" is a tautology as long as you don't create an overly constrained definition of computer.

The claim that is more challenging is "reality is virtual" which basically only implies that space doesn't literally exist.

Yeah "apk add ZFS" is very scary and off the beaten path :)

That's all you need to use ZFS data drives on alpine. On root is admittedly a lot more complex though.
LLMs could be described as storing and reproducing beliefs, but they're definitely not databases that can be easily maintained as things change or verified for perfect accuracy at any given moment.

I think the best way to use them is to have a minimal language model that is as small as possible while still being able to comprehend language; and that this then goes off to an actual knowledge base of some kind where all the factoids can be checked separately.

Humans have separate explicit/declarative memory and implicit/procedural memory memories. I think the Transformer architecture puts everything into what is really only suitable for implicit/procedural; I think RAG is trying to be a separate explicit/declarative memory system, but I'm always to busy to study this in more than a superficial level, so I'm not sure.

LLMs don't work this way.

> People don't read philosophy like they would poetry. They want to learn something about the world, something factual, preferably.

People often expect much from the philosophy. They hope for personal enhancement or a better understanding of the world.

But no facts. I've read quite a few philosophical texts, from Platon to Castoriadis, and I think there never was anything factual in them. It's almost orthogonal to what we call philosophy.

> If philosophy can't "prove or disprove facts",

A philosophical proof is not a scientific proof. You can't prove that an assertion by Kant is wrong, or that Heidegger made a mistake in a particular concept. There is no progress through confirmation, refutation or reproductibility.

> then what's its use ?

The notion of use is ill-defined. What's the use of painting? or novels? Of course, many answers are possible and there is no single truth. So that's in the field of philosophy.

> To be pleasant to read ?

Even if a text is not factual, it can bring new thoughts. Just like meeting someone can be just shallow chatting, or bring strong emotions, or mind-twisting revelation.

> To provide endless empty rhetorical discourse on wether we have a soul or whatever other useless question ?

A relative of mine is a profesional philosopher, and I remember the first of the texts he authored: it was a "philosophical proof" that racism was wrong because it was inconsistant. I do think the text is a "rhetorical discourse", but the question is not useless. Debating such themes can be quite useful, in a certain way. If the debate is formal, that's philosophy.
> But models tend to break down if you look close enough, and I think this may also happen to QM at some point.

Sure, but there's absolutely nothing to suggest that it will be some kind of deterministic computation underneath.

> We do - at least as long we look at clumps of matter.

Not even. Even non-quantum clumps of matter are influenced by continuous fields and dilation effects from both special and relativity. Even without QM, our universe is not efficiently simulatable on our computational models because of general relativity.
> The title should be as posted on the blog

Seems the HTML <title> attribute of his page is "Corporate Open Source Is Dead | Jeff Geerling". OK, that's not "Jeff Geerling: Corporate Open Source Is Dead" like on this HN page, but it's certainly not "jeffgeerling.com" either. The difference between a "Jeff Geerling:" prefix and a "| Jeff Geerling" suffix is rather small in comparison. So what, exactly, is "as posted on the blog"?

>it would be weird if he put Jeff Geerling there (and he didn't).

It's not like the main title within the page is just "Corporate Open Source Is Dead" either; there's a more prominent "Jeff Geerling" above that. So yes, he did.

(Personally, I usually go with what's displayed on the browser window title / tab, i.e. the <title> attribute. AFAICR.)

Has VeilidChat (or anything else running on top of Veilid) been released? The page for that (https://veilid.com/chat/) says its code will be released “in the coming weeks”; the whole Veilid site looks unchanged since its initial publication back in 2023.

Edit: ah, some bouncing around through their FAQs found a repo for it that has commits within the last week/month: https://gitlab.com/veilid/veilidchat - looks like “hand this to your non-technical friends” is still a very long way away.

Do they typically not? My only contact with passkeys has been the 2FA service (Duo) at my place of work, and I've got a passkey on my phone and laptop, as well as OTP push notifications, OTP SMS, or recovery code from IT.

Honestly? Unless you want to confiscate the money, then you have to persuade the people who already have it that is worth their while to give it to you. Usually that entails handing over some control and some chance of getting paid. You may be able to change some of the terms of the contract, but as an overall structure I don't see any possible alternative in this time and place.

How is that better? "Insufficient evidence" verdict is basically slander. It shouldn’t exist. You’re supposed to be presumed not guilty unless proven otherwise. What recourse do you have if you end up with such a verdict? Should you then have to prove your own innocence? That’s exactly what we tried to avoid in the first place.

Are you sure your experience really maps to McKinsey? There are countless garden-variety Office Space bean counter management consultancies that are called in as RIF shock troops etc. My experience with McKinsey is them being strategic consultants to C-suite where nobody is looking to "shift blame" or a docile rubber stamp. They're far too expensive if that's what you're looking for.

Accessibility of this page is pretty bad as far as I can tell, but not because it's plain HTML. And if I understand correctly you can mark ASCII art as an image (role="img") with alternative text too.
Since the passkey is the private key in the private-public pair, if it’s stored on a password manager it can definitely be stolen by malware (if you could have a key logger, you could have something else too). The only solution is to have the passkey (actually private key) reside in hardware or be protected by dedicated hardware.
This is a clunky argument. No problem description under 300 words elicits reasonable or empathetic advice. That's because GPT needs to use in context learning to condition the output to your own frustrating distribution of life bullshit before that output can be empathically constructive.

And that's what talking to a human expert is like too.

One of the most powerful things about GPT is I can give it a huge wall of text about a problem I'm having, the ask it to categorize, critique, prioritize, provide feedback, and ask questions. It invariably gives me a wall of text of empathetic and constructive questions and considerations for me to reflect on, much like a human expert would. I then answer those and reflect and converse in turn. 5 - 15 turns of conversation and a few thousand words later? The problem is freaking SOLVED in a profound and satisfying way. This experience happens over and over if I put the time and discussion in. This is something that DOESN'T happen for me with most humans.. because they can't empathize with me as an autistic person. But GPT is fucking aces in this regard.

The article's author is LITERALLY just being a lazy prompt writer ignoring basic prompting/ICL papers, and being a mushy critical thinker as a result. If he was a decent AI writer and diligent thinker, then he would be able to squeeze the juice and make the cocktail. But he bungles the article and runs it aground of the unfortunate "stochastic parrot /w average priors" argument that everyone adopts if they ignore the insight of "LLMs are in-context learners".

The real problem is he has not crafted any contexts eliciting enough in context learning to let GPT empathize with any actual problem he has. "Help me make money" is different from "here's my business, its fundaments, and a pain point my customer has: [...]. How can we solve this and rise above and beyond the call duty here?"

It's like he goes up to a person, says, "yo what's up?", and the person says, "not much." The author then wonders, "Why didn't this person empathize with the fact that my mom is going through stage 4 cancer and I don't know WTF to do to support her or make peace with it!?!"

It's because you don't communicate enough context to empathize with! It would make amazing suggestions if you actually described the intense emotional turmoil that is alive inside you when you think about losing your mom. But you have to be RAW as FUCK about what you're really feeling! Or there's no "handle" for the AI to grip and rotate the issue around and help with.

And that is the author's fault, rather than GPT's. We know GPT has this limit. It needs ICL to be at its best. We know we have to make it into the expert we need by giving a extensive and descriptive contexts, and critically co-evolving our thinking on the subject like we're working with a real expert.

When I do that, it's easily more helpful than any advocate, therapist, social worker, mentor, or manager I've ever had. And that's saying something profound and life changing.

The time is now. Even the mainstream news organizations are probably high 90s% reliable as they've been caught selectively editing, not vetting sources or facts, and displaying biases.

But if you edit a binary with a hex editor, invalidating its signature, you would need to know how to bypass it.
That's a charitable reading but it doesn't track with what they actually said. The first paragraph says that all modern Linux binaries are compiled with PIE, so Alpine has no advantage there. The second paragraph says that glibc is more secure than musl heap-wise. The third paragraph is the conclusion, which is that Alpine is less secure because it uses musl.

A sentence thrown on to the end of the conclusion should normally be read as reemphasizing the reasons for the conclusion unless it starts with a word like "though" or "however".

Where are the best places to keep up with all of this? I'm very interested in this area as I want to use these tools to create things with and my own voice isn't great for this.

Speech to speech seems like it might be better than TTS to get it to be more natural, i've played around with some tools like RVC etc, but I feel like there are maybe a lot of great AI workflows I am missing amoungst all the AI noise, it's the interesting workflows and people doing interesting things with AI that I am more interested in.
Yes last time I checked they had their own versioning system as well... it's one thing to learn a language but having to learn a whole new set of tools put me off in the end. I guess I can see the argument that the Smalltalk files are not plain text but rather images (or something), but having to basically download a second OS within the OS just to write Hello World was off putting. I realise that that's also can make Smalltalk so powerful, at least in principle.

Also lack of retina display support put me off. Of course it is purely cosmetic but when it's literally the only app I used that looks like shit, it is sufficient to nudge me away. Maybe fixed now, not sure.
That second one needs to be pointed out in particular - the US healthcare system is so expensive that if you have healthcare insurance as a foreigner, they're typically excluded from the international plan. You have to specifically go out of your way (and pay more) to make your local health insurance cover the US.

Quite a few people don't want to deal with that.

I've had my eye on this for a couple of months now because you guys are doing exactly what I'm doing when it comes to modular asset/utility development: putting it in the public domain, where it belongs.

I'm all for making money on specialization or convenience, but I really can't find it in myself to build a perfectly useful something and then only use it for myself unless someone else can pay for it. As long as it's fully modular, I just have to give it away for free. Some things - no matter how much work they took to make - are just not worth paying for. Or, at the very least, I would never pay for them. So rather than just keep everything to myself so I can use it the one time, I can't see any reason not to just make it entirely available to the public.

And, good god, I would be so embarrassed to see my name in the credits of something with a label like "provided image formatter", or something. So attribution is something that I really couldn't care less about. It's always a nice gesture, but some things just aren't worth attributing.

All of which is to say: I love your interest in releasing these things to the public domain, and I'm very eager to join you! I've worked in games since before the original THQ went under, and have been using Unreal for the last 6 years or so. I'd be happy to get into whatever process you guys are using, and provide assets to whatever specifications you enforce. I find the most important thing about assets is that they be uniform (so large-scale changes can all happen in the same way, per asset). So I'm happy to conform, just so I can make assets that will act well in-editor.

Unfortunately, I'm mired in some side-project dev work, and won't be able to work on games, or game assets, probably for the rest of the year. So I've got to put off helping until I can clear my plate some. But I have bookmarked you guys, and will follow up to see if you have any interest in additional help with this kind of work, as soon as I can!

Aside from all that, thanks again for providing this. It really is a useful and altruistic endeavor!
The push-back is not from the tiny number of JavaScript developers writing finger-printing scripts, but rather the huge number of JavaScript developers (including me) who are offended that you’re unwilling to run JS because you’re afraid that it’s going to finger-print you.

You have a right to take steps that make you comfortable that your privacy is being protected. But don’t complain about websites not working if you’ve decided you don’t trust them to run JavaScript.

I found several bugs in the framework and gave up.
I don't know if you ever hired or done a penetration test, but when someone uses a common vulnerability scanner to identify issues, that's called a VRA (Virtual Risk Assessment), which is way different as a penetration test. In a penetration test you are not only focusing on tools, but you also perform manual testing. common tools aren't able to find business logic vulnerabilities, and also they are not able to chain them.

I see you also mentioned digging into code (code review), which is a different service. In cybersecurity there are different branches, and I don't think you want a guy that "knows" how to do everything, cause that person is probably not an expert in any of the mentioned areas. a Penetration test it's not the same as a code review, and it's not the same as a VRA, and it's not the same as a Red Team. They all cover different things, and are meant to satisfy different needs.

Trust me, in cybersecurity you cannot be an expert in every area. So you better find a specialist for web apps and a specialist for code review if you need both. Same for infra, cloud, etc.

The only one that is simple is the VRA cause it only depends on running a vulnerability scanner and checking if the reported vulnerabilities aren't false positives. (but you need a license for that software and those are pretty expensive)
