Ah, that makes sense.

The problem with the Appletalk to Ethernet adapter is that would definitely need drivers that are unlikely to exist on the Mac.

Given that, then using the serial port with a dumb terminal would be the next best option, but IIRC MacOS didn't ship with a terminal application so there's a bit of a chicken and egg problem.

What might exist is an Appletalk implementation for the GPIO ports on a Raspberry Pi or similar board, which would let you use the built-in Appletalk file sharing to get stuff on and off of the machine. The retrocomputing scene has to have something like that, it would be extremely useful.
No, they'd have called it trespassing. That's the point I think I'm making.
The Gödel and computational complexity stuff is a bit out in the horizon, but the rest ain't wrong and is something that's getting a lot of (indirect) federal funding via the Secure Enclave/Trusted Execution Environment related research - and Bratus was one of the earlier people in the Trusted Computing space.

It is, but it's very expensive. That's why a lot of this research has been getting billions in funding for 10-15 years now in order to build out the underlying ecosystem needed to harden the entire stack

This is a cultural thing, I think. I'm proud to work more hours than my boss expects. My relative never brag about the number of days off they have, but will quickly tell you that they only took one week off last year. The expected reaction is: wow, you're a great worker.
imo, the appliances breaking is also a choice and one that is a real shame. No one actually wants to buy new refrigerators or dishwashers, and the improvements in that space have all be pretty marginal.

Fast fashion is shame too - clothes ought to last a bit as well.

How did Snowflake not have 2FA?
Yep! There is a lot going on with this story (and Santander, it’s the same actor involved), but there have been no official confirmations from any of the parties involved.

I think keeping the Snowflake story up is the best move until we get new information.
Definitely depends on the type of damage. Cracks and rust aren't a big deal at all, a twisted frame due to a corner collision is a royal pain.

In the context of price to repair though, I'd still rather be dealing with a car with a damaged frame rather than a modern car with loads of sensors, body panels, etc that all need replacing.
Seriously. I don't know anything about mobile development, but once it's working in the first place, how hard is it to just NOT delete its API hooks from the codebase. As a developer, I can only guess that maybe the code which supports it, or the code where it has to poke its fingers into into in order to be able to draw its UI, is poorly-architected and removing the Car Thing code across the board will allow them to more easily refactor or something.
The Phi is was many-core and not multi-core. It's a much harder paradigm to wrap your mind around. I do recommend learning about it for the new perspective. Try TIS-1000 by Zachtronics.

The confusion is that that doesn’t follow, at all.

[edit] it occurs to me that this is a term of art you may be unfamiliar with, so reading it in an unusual sense:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_law

Basically, it’s a super-important thing to have if you want to live in a “developed” country that doesn’t have all kinds of very-bad problems, and isn’t some proxy for level-of-authoritarianism, which is how it seems you’ve read it. It’s about actual and perceived equal treatment under and efficacy of the law, not how much law (if you will) you have. A minarchist libertarian state would sensibly seek to have high rule-of-law, for instance.
The possibility to root the device would give non-nerd owners the possibility to sell their devices to some nerds that want to play with it instead of binning it directly.

> so a direct file that handled state returns would take several years and hundreds of staff to develop and maintain

Or just contract one of the companies that already do it with a public-private partnership. HR Block or whatever gets paid say 2x their current tax prep revenue in exchange for being the white-label direct-file available for free to everyone.

Like these tax prep companies are crazy cheap for just being able to hit import next next next next next submit and never think about taxes ever. The work is already done, why duplicate it?

How is that a useful critique? Yes, researchers publish research.
Housing is insanely expensive. in US, healthcare costs are through the roof as well.

The only way I see long term housing becoming affordable is heavy taxes on single family homes as investment properties. Also open up zoning and allow builders to build.

Also naturally less kids, means less humans, means less demand.

GPT based legal/medical/critical positioning is doomed for failure. These are essentially monopolies protected by humans, something AI, even if they become extremely intelligent, cannot infiltrate it to accept it.

A lawyer would be taking on massive risks by trusting GPT outputs even while thinking 1/6 chance of noise filtering would be a form of risk mitigation, they are mistaken. It's a slot machine in some sense but it gives you a small payout 5/6 times.

Most critical to me seems to be the integration relicensing/de-open-sourcing (and the article seems generally to feel the same),

> Started relicensing some of the most critical integrations and connectors as proprietary2 under a completely different license

But left unsaid is which integrations got relicensed. I'm very curious to know!

Ok, from the Redpanda announcement, seems to be Splunk & Snowflake connectors that they have moved to enterprise plan features. I'm not sure this is exhaustive but I tend to think it is. Source: https://redpanda.com/blog/redpanda-connect

It does make me wonder & think, perhaps there's too monolithic an architecture if moving two connectors out of core & having bentho-snowflake and bentho-splunk forked off is too hard. Does the entire project really need a fork?
There is a key difference: When an AI is wrong, it’s “buyer beware; you knew AI isn’t infallible.” You have no recourse.

This matches the general consensus at the LocalLLama subreddit that Q8 is basically indistinguishable from the full model.
The point is that LLMs are never right for the right reason. Humans who understand the subject matter can make mistakes, but they are mistakes of a different nature. The issue reminds me of this from Terry Tao (LLMs being not-even pre-rigorous, but adept at forging the style of rigorous exposition):

It is perhaps worth noting that mathematicians at all three of the above stages of mathematical development can still make formal mistakes in their mathematical writing. However, the nature of these mistakes tends to be rather different, depending on what stage one is at:

1. Mathematicians at the pre-rigorous stage of development often make formal errors because they are unable to understand how the rigorous mathematical formalism actually works, and are instead applying formal rules or heuristics blindly. It can often be quite difficult for such mathematicians to appreciate and correct these errors even when those errors are explicitly pointed out to them.

2. Mathematicians at the rigorous stage of development can still make formal errors because they have not yet perfected their formal understanding, or are unable to perform enough “sanity checks” against intuition or other rules of thumb to catch, say, a sign error, or a failure to correctly verify a crucial hypothesis in a tool. However, such errors can usually be detected (and often repaired) once they are pointed out to them.

3. Mathematicians at the post-rigorous stage of development are not infallible, and are still capable of making formal errors in their writing. But this is often because they no longer need the formalism in order to perform high-level mathematical reasoning, and are actually proceeding largely through intuition, which is then translated (possibly incorrectly) into formal mathematical language.

The distinction between the three types of errors can lead to the phenomenon (which can often be quite puzzling to readers at earlier stages of mathematical development) of a mathematical argument by a post-rigorous mathematician which locally contains a number of typos and other formal errors, but is globally quite sound, with the local errors propagating for a while before being cancelled out by other local errors. (In contrast, when unchecked by a solid intuition, once an error is introduced in an argument by a pre-rigorous or rigorous mathematician, it is possible for the error to propagate out of control until one is left with complete nonsense at the end of the argument.)

Prove to whom?

Since the availability of GPUs is quite constrained (availability of datacenters and electricity is constrained, too) you won't have many who "can provide more value". Free market has no mechanisms to combat abuse when resources are limited.
https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA1108-9.html

Days are a poor measure here. Hours matter as well and teachers are salaried. They don't earn OT, but they often work more than their contracted hours without compensation. In that study the average was 12 uncompensated hours per week, assuming an 8 hour day over the 36 weeks of a school year that's more than 50 uncompensated days of labor.

I object to the claim (in my quoted section above) that teachers only work 180 days a year. They work more than that, either in the excess hours beyond their contracted hours, in the time they take without direct compensation to maintain certifications or earn graduate degrees, or the time they spend working a second job or summer school or running a club just to make ends meet.

I'd love to see average hardware utilisation stats for "average Joe" (i.e. not Google) data centres. I don't think they're well-utilised.
I'm terrified of this happening to my elderly parents. It's why, even though it can be time consuming, I always have them run "tech support" issues (no matter how small) through me or my bro in law so some foreign scammer doesn't drain their accounts.
Since these are audio recordings an easier hardware approach would be to tap the output of the motherboard's D/A converter right before the speaker amp and capture it with an A/D. You could also tap the speaker wires which should be easier than tapping thin SMD traces, though the signal might have been highpassed before amplication to better support the small laptop speakers.

Of course this means you'll have to disassemble the ancient laptop and all that, and it won't be a bitperfect capture. For voice recordings though the quality should be more than adequate.
Why does "spyware" only matters for Firefox but not other browsers, considering ~97% of the browser market share is proprietary browsers.

If people cared about privacy majority of users wouldn't use Chrome.

Also what is the point of complaining about spyware when the only viable option is Chrome (and other Chromium based browsers), I trust Mozilla more than any proprietary browser vendor. They collect less data than any of the proprietary browsers. I can actually disable "spyware" using config options. They are not some black box switches that might disable the "spyware" unlike proprietary browsers.
> There are 50 states, and every single one of them has their own idea

That's not my problem. The states are part of the country. This is as bad as restaurants charging tips instead of stating one number. Government dudes should meet and work it out between state/federal and give me one damn number.

All I want is one number.
> It's funny that we used to all blame WinModem vendors for making WinModems instead of blaming open source for not being able to write DSP code.

From what I recall, the main issue was not with writing DSP code; the main issue was (and usually still is) the lack of documentation on the hardware. Knowing how to write DSP code does not help if you don't know how to run it.

With a normal hardware modem, all you needed to know was how to talk with the UART (and these not only were publicly documented, but also were mostly backwards compatible with the original PC UART), and the Hayes command set variant used by the modem (which was also usually publicly documented, and also backwards compatible with ancient modems).
Yeah as far as my personal use cases, code or basic Q & A that sort of chains together naturally. It's easy enough for me to quick test these ideas or code. I can typically eyeball it when it is wrong and if not then, I'll run it and see.

Done. It works for me, but mostly because I can easily validate and I'm confidant in quick / painless validations on my end.

Something in depth that involves a great deal more multi step reasoning to get from point A to B, I've got my doubts. If anything that's where I see AI wander off the path into a mess.

Thanks, Matt. The first tutorial for a platform probably takes between 10-20 hours. For more tutorials about using the same platform, probably 10+ hours to build a simple sample app and walk others through the build. For this reason, I thought about giving writers more for the first tutorial.

Anyways, I started with $500 as a payout and was unable to attract the attention of developers/writers who I liked. I had to hire overseas. Which is fine but the quality just is not what I'm looking for. For example, for the latest tutorial I sent to a customer, I spent 5 hours editing it.

Moving forwarding, I'll increase the payout to $1,000 per tutorial. I'll check out your website and reach out if and when it makes sense, especially if the tutorial requires some JS ;)
I would like to move back to Linux (specifically NixOS), but I've held back because support on the T2 Macs is pretty bad still, and Apple is still providing updates to them for now.

When I tried installing Linux on there, I had a ton of trouble getting Wayland to work in any capacity (it was very glitchy when I tried), and I had to go back to X, before nuking the Linux install and going back to macOS.

> You’re right that this seems to conflict with Hudson Rock. Unfortunately our sources are the company that allegedly was hacked and a company that shamelessly doxed an employee in the course of using this event to promote their product. I think we’ll need to wait for more details.

Fair point. Doxing the employee is shitty, no doubt. Makes Hudson Rock look bad as well. But at the same time, I was giving them some credibility as it would seems if they completely fabricated the screenshots, they might as well file for bankruptcy, given the market they seem to operate in.
SCOTUS justices have 4 full-time clerks, and yes they absolutely check all the citations. Getting onto law review in school involves a “cite checking” test, since this is a very important task for lawyers.

Also, some of the citations are routine, and are very well-known by lawyers and judges. For example, when a lawyer sees “Carolene Products footnote 4”, they don’t have to check it to know it’s about interstate commerce. In some SCOTUS opinions, 1/3 of the footnotes could be routine ones like this.

RFC on use of "convicted felon" in first sentence
[edited to add] it seems to me from other posts seen here that (A) the firmware is floating around already and (B) at 500MB of RAM, underpowered CPU, and considering the other serious limitations of the device, I don't even know if it is likely to be worth somebody's time to put in the work to make a CFW. Personally it seems much more fun to use an off-the-shelf SBC to build a cool project than to try to shoehorn something into this awful little computer. But maybe that's just me.

-- Following is my original comment written before I knew much --

It seems to me like the bare minimum would be enough to take the heat off: Publish a quick and dirty flashing tool, and leave the binary of the firmware available. If people want to disassemble the firmware they have plausible deniability to the patent holders involved, and if nerds want to devote time to reverse engineer it and make a custom firmware image, they can figure it out themselves. After all, part of the fun of such a project is the challenge.

I agree from the perspective that they're probably using the data to do training which is a big big no no in the space, but in terms of hacking, that's true of basically any platform. Certifications like SOCII and Fedramp exist, and even old players like relativity are moving into the cloud. Unless law firms suddenly start wanting to manage their own IT infrastructure, trusting some slice of tech is necessary.
Absolutely. The only reason it would be false is if:

- Google cared more about search quality than their ad business

- This kind of self-dealing were illegal, easily-prosecuted, and heavily fined

- Google were an ethical company

We know that all three of these are false, so we should assume Google is self-dealing. We've caught them (and every other large tech firm) doing it repeatedly.
No. Google does not intentionally publish details of their search ranking algorithm.
