The ultimate serverless dead drop was a USB thumb drive epoxied into a hole in the wall, with only the port sticking out.

The only criteria the thumb drive in the wall fails is "Accessible via Tor to protect against traffic analysis.", however it doesn't need network access at all so I think it is kind of a moot point.

There is some minor risk of surveillance on the site, but that can be defeated with a fake mustache or whatever. Also physical security risk, the drive might be designed to damage computers that connect to it via a voltage spike.

It doesn't seem reasonable to me to assume that the main objective of any government is to protect its citizens.

Pretty much, Asahi Linux could become the new Bootcamp for Mac users who dual booted to play games.

FWIW I played Diablo II Resurrected on a M1 with "Whiskey". I was quite impressed that I was able to play a native Windows game just like that. It doesn't work anymore just because a stupid Blizzard launcher update now crashes and prevents starting the game.

I also ran EverQuest II admittedly an old DX9 game but still the game ran beautifully on a M1 mac mini at 1440p.

Linux Asahi may help also with older x32 titles like Guild Wars.

Do you have any kind of evidence or proof, for any of these claims? It sounds conspiratorial and emotional, especially when you say "it seems" about something that is the opposite of what I've seen in the CN program.

IMO, people get way too caught up in the formal specification of grammars. Writing an unambiguous parser by hand is not that difficult. It can be done without a lexer using recursive descent and a switch statement at each byte in the input stream where a decision needs to be made.
The article doesn't say what proof was shown or what actions were actionable.

This is a very, very common scenario where BigCo X invests in SmallCo X' to get a board seat and a peek at the technology. SmallCo X' wants not only money but industry validation and the chance to dance with a potential suitor.

But when SmallCo X' has failed (after taking both public and private money), it has nothing left than to sell its technology and any assets, including legal judgments. Because it's no longer viable, it has no problem burning relations with an investor, potential buyer, and market leader.

So the proof and what's actionable matters. If the law is ambiguous here, it would disincentivize any investments by any BigCo x, and make it harder for any SmallCo x to get money or keiretsu involvement.

And when an industry (like aviation) has only a few big fish, any trouble at one can affect everyone, ruining careers and setting back progress for decades.

I take your point, but this would have been a challenging, expensive endeavor before CRISPR-Cas9. Likely, the perturbation would not have been done in the same paper as the announcement of the locus due to the challenge of deletion work before CRISPR-Cas systems became readily available
Not only are they unproven, but are ultimately not provable at all. Some people will say yes, some people will say no. Probably we can take their word for it, but in the simplest case they could just lie (in either direction) and we would have no way to tell.

In short, maybe these inner monologues exist and maybe they don't, but science can't comment on that. That said, it is clearly something we are interested in, but it will need to be addressed in some other way (i.e. religion, ideology, etc.).
When they released Stable Audio 2.0, I tried to create "unusual" songs with prompts like "roaring dragon tumbling rocks stormy morning". The results are quite interesting:

https://www.youtube.com/@MarekGibney/videos

I find it fascinating that you can put all information needed to recreate a whole complex song into a string like

rough stormy morning car rocks hammering
drum solo roaring dragon downtempo
audiosparx-v2-0 seed 5

This means a whole album of these songs could easily fit into a single TCP/IP packet.

If a music genre evolves in which each song is completely defined by its title, maybe it will be called "promptmusic".

I will try the new model with the same prompts and upload the results.

End-to-end encryption (E2EE) in a bookmark manager
Groundbreaking development from WebCull: we've successfully implemented end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for our bookmark manager!

There is a privacy gap in bookmark management. While VPNs can help to protect your web browsing, they don't secure your bookmarks. Typically, bookmarks are sent to servers in plain text or, at best, encrypted at rest.. However, if the server holds the encryption key, an attacker could still access your data.

WebCull's E2EE Solution WebCull addresses this privacy gap by providing a true E2EE bookmark manager and browser extension. This means your bookmarks are encrypted end-to-end, with only you holding the decryption key. This ensures your bookmarks are protected from data breaches, surveillance, and unauthorized access.

Why Bookmark Encryption Matters?

Bookmarks often contain highly sensitive information:

- Banks you use

- Schools your kids attend

- Tax preparation sites

- Crypto exchanges and potential cryptocurrencies

- Medical research

- Titles of pages hidden behind authentication systems

If there is a data breach, such information can be extremely revealing and harmful if exposed. E2EE is the only method to ensure this data remains private.

Technological Milestone We're proud to have developed this technology, which empowers users to securely store and sync their bookmarks across browsers and devices. This innovation represents a significant step forward in privacy and data security, providing users with a seamless and private browsing experience.

We'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and any questions you might have.

Stay safe and secure, The WebCull Team

Trump was consistently pushing the envelope and crossing boundaries with his posts on twitter and finally decided to just ban him and face the consequences of that decision.

Your suggestion that the almost the entire media is controlled by the Democratic party or all very favourable to them is also very conspiratorial - it's extremely easy to find a massive amount of media that is comically critical of both parties at all times regardless of which one is in power at the time. Contrast this with actual authoritarian governments like China and Russia.
I don't understand why you need to maintain two separate keys: instead of generating a random key, why not just encrypt the auto-increment key using a secret key? This is the approach used by e.g. cloud providers that use auto-increment keys internally but don't want them to be guessable.
I don't think it's crazy; it's competition, which is what should be happening. We want multiple private companies to be in this game, because that's the only way access to space will ever become practical at any kind of scale.
From announcement I couldn’t figure out if it can do audio to audio.

> Many would argue that it doesn't need to be "fixed".

There are a whole bunch of things that I'm 120% certain need to be fixed with U.S. laws, but of course whether they need to be fixed in the constitution (or even an amendment) is a different question.

(Off the top of my head: Gerrymandering needs to be illegal, the Supreme Court needs oversight, elector based voting needs to go away, corporations need to be "not people" in terms of politics.)

> I note in passing that Germany was controlled by Nazis (real Nazis, not just "disagrees with a communist" Nazis) within living memory, and until 1990, half of it was a communist slave state that sucked so bad that it needed armed guards to keep people from leaving.

Thanks for pointing this out, that is indeed why the German Grundgesetz (constitution) is so good — it was written in 1949 in the Western part as a specific reaction to Nazis in order to ensure it never happens again. That's why it starts with "human dignity is sacrosanct" as article 1, and "everyone has the right to freely develop their personality as long as they don't infringe others" as article 2.

1) Commercial planes and helicopters are orders of magnitude safer than space flight. https://usafacts.org/articles/is-flying-safer-than-driving/

2) Both planes and helicopters have an ability to glide (or autogyro) to a relatively safe landing in the event of most failures. A spacecraft can also do that with wings or parachutes, but only if it gets far away from its exploding booster fast enough to survive.

3) Many military planes do have the ability to safely eject passengers.

4) astronauts dying live on stream is a really bad look.
I’m thinking in terms of processes and propaganda. While other genocides use information technology for communication and propaganda, this one is unique in that information technology is used throughout, including in target selection and killings. The Rohingya Genocide does not e.g. use drones to carry out killings with targets selected by AI.
I believe the "thinking out loud" is fundamentally part of the process of "text completion" which is what it is doing. Certainly we can (and do) break things apart and add layers that could be used to effectively do this by adding more steps and processing time. But ultimately in a single turn, the entire conversation up to that point (including instructions you may have added telling it to not think out loud) is the input, and the output will reflect that.
Timing on playback is very sloppy. Way more than "adding a human feel".

> However, given Donald Trump’s hold on the GOP, in the short term, it is hard to imagine such a political faction emerging around these issues anywhere other than the Democratic Party.

To the contrary, Trump Republicans are the faction of the GOP most open to government-led intervention into these issues. Trump was the one who killed GOP efforts to privatize Social Security and cut benefits. And the fastest growing part of Trump’s coalition is Hispanics, a demographic that is historically very focused on abundance and prosperity.

The unstated subtext is that “abundance moderates” won’t put their economic agendas ahead of their social and cultural values. There’s a large constituency of people who would welcome government intervention to make housing cheaper but also want to deport illegal aliens, and “abundance moderates” aren’t willing to work with those people. Which is fine, but it will doom them to being just a faction of the Democratic Party.

How to stop less from waiting for more data?
Ok so here's a linux question that's been bugging me for years.

I sometimes `less` to display/paginate a streaming stdout from another program. When I press `END` key on the keyboard, it brings me to the bottom of the stream, the latest data it has.

Then it says "Waiting for data... (^X or interrupt to abort)"

I want it to stop waiting for data and let me scroll up as it usually does when it's not waiting for data.

I've tried pressing Control+X and Control+C, but it just closes less immediately instead of just interrupting the wait for new data.

What do I press to make it stop waiting for data, not just close itself?

This would particularly useful for browsing `journalctl` output

> but are ultimately not provable at all

No, they are potentially falsifiable as we get better at scanning, identifying, intervening in brain activity.

Just off the top of my head here, suppose we create a table puzzle problem that (in itself) doesn't require language to understand, like ones we make for certain animals. Have human subjects (silently) solve it. Afterwards, quiz the solvers about their internal monologue--or lack thereof--dividing them into two groups and noting the words used.

Now change to a second puzzle of similar style and same overall difficult. Stun/anesthetize the language-centers of subjects, to deny access to any of the monologue-words (validating this intervention will involve other research), and then test them on the second problem.

* If performance is constant for both groups, that suggests the monologue is illusory or at least not needed for this kind/scope of problem.

* If performance drops for both groups, that suggests the no-monologue people might just not be as aware of a linguistic process that's actually happening.

* If performance drops for monologue-subjects, that suggests it's a real and important difference in modes of logical thought.

* If some other combination happens, you have an mysterious and exciting new line of research.
Kudos on making this, especially after the huge price hike Customer.io just dropped on their customers.
There is a straightforward way to value a mortgage loan because they are bought and sold every day.

The value calculation might have to change, as noted by fshbbdssbbgdd, but it's possible, since the Danish system calculates a value on the bonds that represent the mortgage. To me it seems like less overhead to forego the step of issuing the bonds and just make the mortgage work like the bonds would.

For NLP tasks it's unlikely that "epistemic uncertainty" is a useful metric, though it's interesting to ask an LLM "what is the third word in this sentence?" and then suggest alternative answers. It's a good way to demonstrate that an LLM is not really a "thinking" machine in the way laymen might assume.

Criticizing a government is not criticizing a religion or people.

If I start to attack a religion or to attack a group of people based on those beliefs, then yeah that is antisemitism. Actually having and voicing a problem with jewish people.

A government is not that. We criticize our own government all the time and we are not anti-American (ok, admittedly some do try to make those claims but that's a different story).

yes I will also admit that this got complicated with the protests.

First Amendment does not apply to the individual.
