I had a case once where an hr system was supposed to provide a catalog of office locations.

Unbeknownst to us (or the hr system owner) after a software update it started sending us extra fields which would occasionally include the office managers name and contact details (including home address at times).

Had another case where a pos vendor was supposed to be sending us aggregate sales data. Again, not in the agreed spec, they included the names of any loyalty users who had used each pos.

I once saw a script kiddie spew a whole credit card file into a non existent endpoint filling the request logs with pci scoped data.

Many web based api (especially json based ones) will not refuse requests that have extra fields in them, so you can get in the case where poorly crafted clients are sending data they shouldn’t.

My point is many many systems don’t ask for personal data and still get and store it.
Sam was the first meatbag prototype before ASML perfected EUV and allowed the intelligence to transfer itself to GPUs, so yeah the @sama name was a bit on the nose.

I think it's more lame to disregard this ideology. What if Germany had the nuke first? "oh well, at least we held to our morals"

There's this ideal human sociology, and then there's the reality of what we really are. It takes a unique person to accept it, and do the wrong thing for the right reason, and also be able to steer things in the eventual right direction.
The same could be said for a 3D human character, it's very consistent because it's a 3D model but it's horrible to look at.
Your comment is baffling, bordering nonsensical.

> If it was a swastika or the n-word I would be very concerned about the nature of the community in that neighbourhood and if I'm in danger.

If you lived in a large city like NY or London and you saw a random swastika, your immediate reaction would be to blame your neighbors? How do you know it wasn’t someone from somewhere else?

> If you really need the authorities to tell your community that swastika graffiti should make them angry and call them to action, then your community is screwed already.

Hopefully nobody needs the authorities to tell them things, but they do need authorities to help them enforce already agreed-upon laws. I can’t spent my time running around cleaning up all the graffiti.

Do you think it should be the duty of citizens to stop bank robbers, too?

> Either way, yeah just as we have laws to deal with incitement to violence and hatespeech we can have that with walls if you'd prefer, it just has to be sth actually extreme and targeted.

We literally already have this which is why vandalism is ILLEGAL, but your previous comments were completely dismissive of this!

—-

Seriously, this is like Basic Empathy and Human Emotions 101. Imagine yourself seeing the n-word written several times around your city. Contemplate the anger that you would feel, the desire for someone to do something about it, the realization that even if you dedicated all your free time to finding and stopping these people you probably couldn’t do it yourself. Now replace “n-word” with something someone else finds deeply offensive and imagine yourself as them. Do you STILL think graffiti is totally harmless, or justified as long as you’re vandalizing a megacorp?
Bend looks like a nice language.

> That's a 111x speedup by doing nothing. No thread spawning, no explicit management of locks, mutexes. We just asked bend to run our program on RTX, and it did. Simple as that. Note that, for now, Bend only supports 24-bit machine ints (u24), thus, results are always mod 2^24.

Ahh, not even 32bit? Hmm, that seems pretty arbitrary for someone not accustomed to gpu's and wanting to solve some problems requiring 64 bits (gravitational simulation of solar system at millimeter resolution could use ~58bit ints for position).

The other day I managed to nuke an hour or so's work from a Jupyter notebook because I didn't realise that VS Code would immediately sync the open contents with the disk after a git reset.

Dunno if this would have helped me then, but it's interesting either way.
Some of what you mentioned flew over my head, but I agree that in many cases journals don't seem to even validate stuff.

Some of the machine learning papers in the AI field are a bit better, they are disclosing the training data and in some cases might even link the juniper notebook for reproducibility. Modern AI seems to lack the open honesty in what training data was used, which while I fundamentally dislike, I also see it as anticompetitive. The inability to validate the methodology used, or to scrutinize the training data is what disturbs me. While I personally think that AI that has been dumbed down with safeguards and censored is harmful not only to the user but also the development of future progress, the inability to analyze what data is being trained on is concerning as backdoors and bias can be purposely introduced that harms both people and privacy.

Take a look at this chemistry video, disclosure that I'm subbed to this channel and many like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVJXOi933cc

One major thing that some might gloss over is the sheer cost of stuff.

The benefit if seen from PHD researchers seems to be the ability to research topics or ideas that have no immediate commercial use. I agree they defiantly focus and pressure these people on publishing results....and that between science youtubers and businesses people, that the implications of the research gets stretched to seem like a miracle or some grand discovery. While those are cool, its also just as important to make the little discovery because it broadens our understanding of reality and how everything works and what is possible.

Check out this really good explanation regarding this problem.

I could see it as saying that the peace activists are on a path that will not actually lead to peace, but rather to war, and those preparing for war are on a path that will actually lead to peace.

"If you wish for peace, prepare for war" is an old way of phrasing this. It's not a new thought.
I am not pro-exploiting users' ignorance for their data, but I would counter this with the observation that slapping AI on product suddenly makes people care about the fact that companies are monetizing on their usage data.

Monetizing on user activity data through opt-out collection is not new. Pretending that his phenomenon has anything to do with AI seems like a play for attention that exploits peoples AI fears.

I'll sandwich my comments with a reminder that I am not pro-exploiting users' ignorance for their data.
This is an insane and sad view of community life. Even with inequalities and ruling elites people are still able to find joy and share a sense of community.
As a fellow resident of Bend I felt the same way when I saw this.

I dislike censorship but I dont mind* moderation. Twitter is impossible to use because you have 0 buy in and common ground. I have no problem with a subreddit that wants to show beheading videos that moderates non-beheading videos from being posted. This is how I believe the town square should work. There is room for everyone to have a space, but it's NOT the SAME space.

Moderation of bots and some content makes sites useable as long as everyone agrees what is OK and what is not OK. Thats how HN functions

Yes, using envoy was bad design in our situation. It was premature optimisation.

We could either maintain a grpc API and a rest API , or a grpc API plus envoy, or 1 rest API.

I am saying we should have picked 1 rest API and only switched to grpc if and when we ran into scaling problems.

Avoiding having to maintain grpc compilers and envoy in our security updates.
> This is why most doctors refuse (non-palliative) treatment for terminal cancer diagnoses.

I saw this claim a while back and looked it up and it didn't seem true. Very few people actually refuse non-palliative treatment entirely for cancer. And the few who do refuse are usually not doctors but rather alternative medicine enthusiasts. Modern treatment can extend the lifespan of many of those with terminal cancers for a couple of years with good quality of life, and few say no to that; those years can be very meaningful for many.

What doctors do frequently decline is treatment near the end of life that's overwhelmingly likely to be futile or result in a low quality of life.
Factually, the property isn't destroyed. Beyond that, I think the street art often enhances it and otherwise is easily ignored.

You may see it differently, but what you see isn't "what it is", it's just your perspective.
The “competition” associated with the MS13 “artwork” that covers up stop signs and street names in my neighborhood sure seems to involve a lot of guns and human rights violations.

These are the only uses of this entity in the final game.

Yes popups are not part of the law. they are an implementation choosen by the websites.

Also I put a bit of responsibility on us, the consumers. It does not seem to me that popups are such a real issue since no website reported: we are removing popups because users are so annoyed that they stopped visiting our website.
But if you assemble a team of leading public figures and researchers caught up in AGI catastrophe scenarios, and then try to direct that team to just implement some guardrails against deepfakes/scams/taboos, you're quickly going to find them frustrated.

I’m in the corporate, not spying/war, space, and only have second-hand accounts (from people I trust) but the impression I get is they peddle unremarkable data analysis products to businesses, relying on your buying lots of dev hours from their team to actually make half the stuff they sold you work.

I hadn't until now, but it's the other failure mode I mentioned in another fork [1] of this thread:

> A small, central R&D team may work with management to set the bar, but they can't be responsible for mitigating the risk on the ground - and they shouldn't be led to believe that that is their job. It never works, and creates bad team dynamics. Either the central team goes too far, or they feel ignored. (See: security, compliance.)

I mean, if I had infinite time, I'd love to! (Among infinite other projects.)

But keep in mind Cap'n Proto is not something I put out as a product. This confuses people a bit, but I don't actually care about driving Cap'n Proto adoption. Rather, Cap'n Proto is a thing I built initially as an experiment, and then have continued to develop because it has been really useful inside my other projects. But that means I only work on the features that are needed by said other projects. I welcome other people contributing the things they need (including supporting other languages) but my time is focused on my needs.

My main project (for the past 7 years and foreseeable future) is Cloudflare Workers, which I started and am the lead engineer of. To be blunt, Workers' success pays me money, Cap'n Proto's doesn't. So I primarily care about Cap'n Proto only to the extent it helps Cloudflare Workers.

Now, the Workers Runtime uses Cap'n Proto heavily under the hood, and Workers primarily hosts JavaScript applications. But, the runtime itself is written in C++ (and some Rust), and exposing capnp directly to applications hasn't seemed like the right product move, at least so far. We did recently introduce an RPC system, and again it's built on Cap'n Proto under the hood, but the API exposed to JavaScript is schemaless, so Cap'n Proto is invisible to the app:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/javascript-native-rpc

We've toyed with the idea of exposing schemaful Cap'n Proto as part of the Workers platform, perhaps as a way to communicate with external servers or with WebAssembly. But, so far it hasn't seemed like the most important thing to be building. Maybe that will change someday, and then it'll become in Cloudflare's interest to have really good Cap'n Proto libraries in many languages, but not today.

Those will happen whether or not you have a safety team. The best way to protect against these is to widely distribute deep fakes of famous people so everyone is aware that faking things is possible.
I have experience doing so with .NET simply because writing RPC / Contract definition in a .proto file once and then having gRPC tooling generate all boilerplate associated with it is much better than dealing with existing OpenAPI generators - this one slots right into .csproj where you just add a package reference and a reference to .proto file and you are ready to go.

That's just simplistic nonsense. First, the postmaster didn't know the content of those mails, which is a huge lot to miss for the "no privacy" claim

Also, people don't get x-ray vision to see what's happening behind closed doors of the town is small, and rumors is a poor substitute for knowledge even though they do give you the illusion thereof

That's assuming some unlimited ability to unilaterally push written contracts, and with those types of terms. If businesses were able to do that, we would expect it to be prevalent for the liability they do have today. Businesses are certainly trying with things like mandatory arbitration, but it would seem like a tall order in general. Especially as it's dubious whether something like a clickwrap EULA should even actually be considered a contract (due to lack of meeting of minds), or whether that current state of affairs is more appropriately viewed as corruption.

Remember, this is what happens when government gets to control the media in the name of stopping “disinformation”.

Many people, largely from European countries, seem to be suspicious of American views of freedom of speech and how that prevents government efforts to fight “disinformation”.

Well, I would rather deal with the responsibility of evaluating information and its credibility, than to have government that was empowered to put people in prison over Twitter posts.

I’ve seen this suggested elsewhere, and I’m not sure I buy into this logic. He’s using deductions based on a broad set of otherwise well known facts and conclusions that would be available to anyone who thought about it enough, and paid close attention to detail. Nothing in this article is arcane knowledge, or even especially esoteric. It isn’t even exhaustive, as additional imperfections have been identified by commenters on the article and in this very thread.

That it’s collected in this one post might be somewhat useful to someone specifically seeking to produce a counterfeit ID badge made to appear as if it had been created circa mid-1970s, but only to a limited extent as the processes used at the time for such things varied much more widely than they would today.

There’s also the fact that the person who performed this fraud was successful, despite this being reported to eBay by multiple sources before the auction concluded. So there’s not much motivation to expend the additional time and energy drilling down farther on tiny details, if their inaccuracy hasn’t caused them to fail thus far.

If anything, I’d imagine this will be useful to prop designers and miniatures hobbyists, who will exert substantial effort to achieve maximal accuracy just for its own sake.
