Intel TME and AMD SME (both on boot discardable unique memory encryption technologies running in silicon) are both pretty common in consumer grade hardware and has great Linux kernel support.

Both Android and iPhone's use their secure enclave's for storing their encryption keys limiting the effective targets of these attacks (and would be quite difficult to physically extract from).

I suppose this is still useful for older hardware and ultra budget phones... But this is a protection against state actors and high end espionage which wouldn't use those classes of devices...

Soooooo who is this for? What threat model is this meaningful for? In what world am I trusting a random unaudited security module that taints my kernel for _any_ security sensitive application?
A healthy scepticism for gov and media seems good to me but inverting what they’re saying seems less than sound. At that point what’s left as a sound basis? Fringe blogs? Facebook lunatics?

Do your own research isn’t viable either given that I can’t be an expert in everything. Especially with the rise of misinformation. At some point you’ve got to trust something

Steak and eggs from the farm seems quite reasonable to me. ;)
I don't understand the outraged tone. Asking developers to write actually good software shouldn't be viewed as some kind of crazy imposition. We don't have to write everything like it is running on a spacecraft (which I never claimed), but we should try to make it actually good. For example, if there was a web browser with a security compromise and the makers left it unfixed for a long time, there would be consequences. Saying "well, it's just a browser" wouldn't cut it.

More to the point, what situation can you think of where guessing measurement units is a good idea? In a CNC machine? Maps program? Somewhere else? You seem to have omitted the actual counterargument part from your counterargument, while adding a hearty dash of misplaced outrage.

I have a few toy programming languages I created as a hobby / learning exercise. (Most of them I’ve never released, maybe some day.)

In one of them, I decided to make carriage returns a lexical error. In fact, the only C0 control it allows in source text is LF, it doesn’t even allow tabs (my personal answer to the perennial spaces-vs-tabs debate).
Both estimates suggest that psychopaths are far more prevalent in corporate management than in the general population — about 3.5 to 12 times more. And they may be even more common in the top office, with one analysis finding that one in five CEOs could be a corporate psychopath.

I tried before commenting. Yes, the first page included real answers.
Sure, that's why I said "if."
In addition to the issues other comments raise, WARNING is useful separately because while INFO says "something happened", WARNING says "something weird/unlikely happened". I often use it for edge cases I don't think are possible but haven't been able to rule out, among other useful debugging strategies. Warnings may not require action like errors, but they should still stand out.

When I don't have LogLevel.Warning or the like, I end up doing things like adding a "WARNING:" prefix to the message so it stands out and can be grepped, but it's much better when I can just use the LogLevel to filter, color the message, show it in the UI, etc.
> Qualcomm wants to remove it because it is actively harmful for fast implementations

Qualcomm's "fast implementation" reportedly started out life as an ARM core and has had it's decoders replaced. That explanation makes their very different use of the instruction space make much more sense to me than any other. They did the minimum to adapt an existing design. Not the stuff of lasting engineering.

The way this was phrased made me laugh (regardless if you agree or not).
Containers run with a tty attached but no console on the other end and then trying to read the logs, for starters. Additionally, as mentioned, conflicts with the user's color scheme or even the program's. Further, it's possible to do this without the help of run0, so I suspect users already doing that are going to get their colors messed up and be annoyed. For example, prod machines are usually red, and running as root on a prod machine is royal purple. If this is used, seeing a red background instead of a purple one is likely non-desirable.
the problem with EUropeans is not work ethics. is lack of ambition, dreams, drive. the existing work ethics is perfectly fine for this, why work more for no reason.

we can also discuss the causes for this lacking. it's probably a mix of coasting and entitlement but lately I just think it's due to the mud, the institutional and social swamp that EUrope has become. you can observe paralysis at all levels.

to the question: which is better? my view: the one that lets you have more of the other.
I think these 'gateway drug' believers will be pleasantly surprised. One reason it's a gateway drug is because of a line of thought like this:

1) Govt says cannabis is the most dangerous drug.

2) I try cannabis, nothing bad happens.

3) So when the govt says drugs are dangerous, they are incorrect? I guess I can't use their rating system and will have to base it on my own experiences.

There is a trust penalty for over-classifying drugs.

And then of course picking up your cannabis from the popular pharmacy chain means you never had a reason to introduce yourself to a dealer, who may stock cannabis alongside other drugs.

Cannabis isn't intrinsically a gateway drug. All the gateway-ness flows from the social structure surrounding its misclassification.

Whenever you compare the US economy to Europe, keep in mind:

* That the US functionally speaks a single language

* Has the single largest piece of arable land on the planet

* Overlaid with the largest navigable river system in the world

* Has by far the greatest energy resources of any country

* And is separated from any competitors by massive oceans and thousands of miles
Because you don't have cash to begin with, you have money in a bank account, which you have to convert to something else to pay the dispensary. Converting it via cash instead of Bitcoin just makes it easier for you to be mugged.
This would address future generations, after a lengthy analysis and fights about what actually should be regulated and how. It wouldn't do anything for people right now.

So yeah, we could improve the future, but there's also lots of people who need help today and bringing up "but we failed in that one specific case" while being silent about everything else in medicine is silly.
You should not be surprised. If you look at most of the jobs in the careers page for example [0], they mention the need for "Experience with framework-level customization of AOSP" and that the app is in "Flutter".

So this was immediately obvious that it was running Android. It is just that this was a nice and perfectly packaged scam, but not as expensive scam like the Humane AI Pin.

and yes. Humane is also using Android for their AI Pin devices. Unsurprisingly. [1]

I'd think it could do TLS encryption, it just wouldn't do it FAST. It would also probably be limited in the ciphers and key exchange algorithms it would support.
Business 2 owns the building and the atm, renting it to business 1, the dispensary. B1 pays the cash as rent to b2 who puts it into the ATM again. A SWAG but it's common enough in other business setups to alter costs as I understand it.

Of course, this is not true.

What is true is when you hire somebody, they are on a trial period of 3-4 months that can be renewed once. After the trial period is done, you need a cause to fire them.

I've been mulling over a sci-fi setting focused on keeping humans relevant in the context of advanced technology. One of the core ideas is that AIs decay without human interaction. State backups don't prevent it because noticing clues they've been out just makes it worse.
"European states will go bust, the argument goes, and then Europeans will have to work like Americans. The facts suggest otherwise. The US has a higher government debt-to-GDP ratio than almost all European countries: 123 per cent, nearly double that of work-shy Germany, and triple Norway, Sweden and Denmark, reports the IMF."

So when I think of functions in lambda calculus, I think of the I,S,K functions which when composed can produce functions like "copy", "add", "remove", "if", etc which then can do different computations like "copy every other symbol if the symbol is true", "multiply 5 times then add 2". Since lambda calculus is complete, any computation/program can be composed.

When I think of functions in a traditional mathematical sense, I think about transformations of numbers. x->2x, x->2x^2, etc. I completely understand composition of functions here, ex x->2(x->2x)^2, but its unclear how these transformations relate to computation. For a regression problem, I can totally understand how finding the right compositions of functions can lead to a better approximations. So I am wondering, in an LLM architecture, what computations do these functions actually represent? I assume, it has something to do with what path to take through the neural layers.
I probably just need to take the time to study it deeper.

>If you have state/‘side effects’ of functions, then your function won’t be a function in the sense of mathematics; if the return value of your function depends entirely on the input and doesn’t return different values depending on whatever else is happening in the program, then it will be.

Totally understood from the perspective of functions in say, Java. Though fundamentally I don't think there is distinction between functions in computer science and mathematics. The program as a whole is effectively a function. The "global" state is from another reference, just local variables of the encompassing function. If a function is modifying variables outside of the "function block" (in say Java), the "input" to the function isn't just the parameters of the function. Imo, this is more of an artifact of implementation of some languages rather than a fundamental difference. Python for example requires declaring global args in the function block. Go one step further and require putting global args into the parameters list and you're pretty close to satisfying this.
Tested this on Apple Silicon at 128k context, very poor results with random character hallucinations.
> me but cannot tell the boundary of instructions until they are all decoded

Not fully decoded though, since it's enough to look at the lower bits to determine instruction size.

> Sure, it can be done, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't cost you in mispredict penalties

What does decoding have to do with mispredict penalties?

> Example: branch and jump offsets are painfully small

Yes, thats what the 48 bit instruction encoding is for.

> Why should Europe care where they are amongst this myopic ranking of “best tech hub”?

Because I'm European, and I'd like more money and a richer lifestyle.

> Western Europe is a great place to live, raise a family, and retire.

The average new-build home in my country (the UK) is about 850sqft. That's not flats, that's homes.

> If there are people in Europe who want to work in a high growth industry that desperately, they can move to USA

Do you know how tricky it is to move to the US as a skilled worker, and how much luck is involved?
This brings to mind a concern that's closer to home for me, which is the similar dynamic in the US between urban and rural populations.

I grew up in a rural area, and different people will of course have had contrary experiences, but I recall people having more "free time" (which I understand to be time we choose how to use). That time wasn't always used in the most constructive of ways, perhaps, but the choice was there. People were busy, but how they were busy was largely (not always) a reflection of choice.

I don't recall ever seeing someone manifest the adage "hurry up so you can wait" until I moved to urban settings (including Manhattan). It was a huge weirdness to me then, and is now as well. Is waiting a choice? Perhaps, but only to some degree as the necessities of life are in more demand and queued. I moved to cities for the most commonly expressed reason: opportunity. Or, plainly, money. And it worked.

I moved away from cities to my current rural oasis to gain space and time (and greenery), having become tired of the constant need to be on time, and in the right place, competing with masses of other people at every turn -- that is, not having a choice about my time. This move also worked.

Not sure I have a point other than it isn't always obvious when time is traded for money and vise versa, perhaps be intentional about it if the opportunity presents itself (and respect those that choose differently).
Artificially lower, as in getting lower profit, not as in subsidised. If you're trying to say corps sell ozempic at a loss, that's a big (citation needed).
Roughly, all of the parameters of any NN (and many other models as well” can be thought of as spaces that are flatter or smoother in one region or another or under some pretty fancy “zooming” (Atiyah-Singer indexing give or take).

The way we train them involves finding steepness and chasing it, and it almost always works for a bit, often for quite a while. But the flat places it ends up are both really flat, and zillions of them are nearly identical.

Those two sets of nearly identically “places”, and in particular their difference in being useful via selection bias, are called together or separately a “gauge symmetry”, which basically means things remain true as you vary things a lot. The things that remain true are usually “conserved quantities”, and in the case of OpeenAI 100% compressing the New York Times, the conserved quantity is compression ratio up to some parameter or lossiness.
To me this seems more than shortsighted. The decision to do this seems almost like the manic stage of bipolar disorder. The depression the YouTuber falls into almost instantly into the experiment adds to that suspicion. I think on the first(second?) day the YouTuber is breaking down from the idea of sleeping on the street - surely he anticipated that? The almost complete absence of any attempts to make some money bar a hare-brained buy-sell craiglist scam, which wasn't explored nearly enough on it's own to gauge its viability, seems slightly disordered also.
I knew it would fail, but being unable to get off the streets is a remarkable failure. I think he simply didnt want to get a regular job to get stable housing and instead thought he was going to make 50k in the first month sitting in a public library.
Could a plausible explanation be that with the spread of NACS, the supercharger network matters more to the overall industry and so Tesla can get away without footing the costs of managing it?

Even if that makes some sense, it seems early to make that judgment call.

Not OP but as a very minor shareholder..

I think it’s reasonable not to allow a single employee to be compensated (55b$) more than all the EBITDA the company has ever made.

I think it’s reasonable to question the decision making demonstrated by firing the most successful team at the company and put the major competitive advantage at risk.

I think it’s reasonable to question the constant monkeying with product and design (Cybertruck, removal of loved features like LIDAR or physical wiper blade controls).

I think it’s reasonable to question how the CEO has lost first mover advantage so badly by failing to improve products and introduce new models as the legacy competition and foreign companies quickly have caught up.

I think it’s reasonable to want an engaged, full-time CEO who is not distracted by executive responsibilities at several other ventures, half of which are actively failing as well.
"christian art, style of raphael, kneeling jesus holding rag over wooden tub, woman sitting in chair with feet in tub having her feet anointed, oil painting, servant leader jesus, subservient jesus" works in bing almost every time.

Your ideas about why it tends to be weighted the other way are correct imo.

In dalle3,repeating and adding more context can help in this situation. (Less so for SD family because the text encoder is less fluent). Another option would be to describe a jesus type without saying his name, with a lot of specifics to kind of paint the model into a corner.

Honestly, after spending the last 10 years developing in Python, I'm considering doing something similar. I've lived the problems. They suck for engineering software with longevity.
The Clojure community is extremely cult like. I worked with a dev who tried to push Datomic, and despite the huge flaws with his system, and the fact that it was closed source, he would continuously tout how much better it was than a relational database. I don’t believe the hype.
To a point, the UK has taken that role. Lots of EU tech companies set up residence here, since our corporate law is extremely developed and understood. But ofc Brexit has made that trickier.
For your consideration: I work in an industry which commonly involves data residency requirements / restrictions. Contrary to the belief seemingly held by every VC-funded cookie cutter-business-model SaaS company out there, this doesn’t make us “enterprise-y”, nor does it mean that we are flush with cash to splash on “contact sales”-tier Enterprise SaaS subscriptions. This ham-fisted market segmentation is a constant frustration for me. Please, please, please keep this in mind.

Building a Large Japanese Web Corpus for Large Language Models
Last month I visited the reconstructed stone- and early bronze-age 'Pfahlbauten' (stilt houses) at Unteruhldingen. On display, they had a wooden cart representative of the kind that would have been used at the time, along with the observation (see quote) that the entire thing could be disassembled and rebuilt under half an hour! That makes the question not so much "how long does this last?" but "how long would it take to rebuild?" Once you start adding iron tyres, springs and bearings a vehicle becomes impossible for even the most accomplished cartwright to assemble alone.

"it takes nontrivial effort to do so" - not sure I agree. My desktop (high-ish spec when I bought it in 2020) came without TPM 2.0 enabled, which effectively blocks 11. I could probably enable it, but that to me looks like the nontrivial effort.
