There's this thing called parallel construction

It works like this: NSA brings the illegal evidence, and agencies like FBI and DEA launders it, building a fake case that omits the illegal evidence but includes other evidence that were obtained from it, rewriting history to make it seem like the investigation never ever used illegal means.

It's like git rebase, but for criminal investigations.

I had a look at your offering, and unfortunately I’m not convinced. Obviously you need to send plain text to the actual AI model in use, which is confirmed by

> Sending a message involves transmitting the message to the server in plaintext over TLS encrypted connections. Your plaintext message is encrypted with the conversation public key and saved before being forward to your AI model of choice, again in plaintext over an TLS encrypted connection. When the AI model has generated a response, this is returned to our server. This response is also encrypted with the conversation public key and saved before being forwarded back to you.

The model operator still gets everything, just not trivially traced back to the user and not collected in one place; in addition you get everything and there’s no way to verify you’re not inspecting and/or storing clear text user info, or hacked to do so. It’s basically a pinky promise from an unknown entity (no offense but you can see that from the user point of view) whose main value proposition is that pinky promise.

This is overly simplistic thinking. Of Course increases in technology isn't the only factor determining aggregate societal well being or happiness or whatever. But it would be naive and disingenuous to suggest anything other than it being monotonic at the very least.

This also asks for a search for better social technology, as opposed to asserting that we must slow down the search for better physical technology because the social technology isn't keeping up.
I am personally starting to think that this is the framing we need for this conversation. It needs to be discussed as a freedom as opposed to a right for no other reason than 'expectation of privacy' was very successfully neutered.
Yes, and that's leaving aside the explainability problem. Let say for arguments sake that you have an optimal planning algorithm, if you cannot explain to the people using it why it generates a certain solution, it will not get adopted.

As an employee at a terminal, you have a) no reason to trust some software people who may have never seen one of them steel boxes up close, b) if this works, you or your colleague gets laid off, and c) if it doesn't work, you're now stuck cleaning up the mess the computer will inevitably make for you, which is way less fun than planning things yourself.

The 5%-10% invoices being incorrect is probably on the low end, I'd probably say it's 5-10% in total invoice VALUE. Because of the sheer amount of containers, you need automated invoice calculation. But if you miss an edge case ("We are allowed to invoice a 5 buck surcharge if the container is filled with at least 100kg of explosive goods, AND was loaded during the night shift because dangerous goods handling requirements now require us to have a safety officer on call, which we normally don't have during the night shift") you are leaving serious amounts of money uninvoiced, and you will never know. One of the reasons not that much effort goes into optimization algorithms is that there is so much low hanging fruit left on getting your invoices out correctly...

Out of interest, how many papers have you read and how have you come to these conclusions? What empirical evidence to you have for these claims? I don't dispute that there is a general lack of research around this area, but that hardly justifies discarding the scientific method. Given that many of them implement techniques which can simply be re-run as new runtimes are released, why do we not do this? With proper CI, you could easily keep this information as up-to-date as necessary.

> Allocation in competent GC is explicitly cheaper

I am well aware. When I say "allocation", I refer to the entire lifetime of an object. As in both its allocation, residence in memory, and cleanup. Did you read the paper I cited? It provides a strong case that this "lifetime-cost" of an object can be quantified and measured.

is about as close as we get.
The difference is this: If you use the letter of the law, an ordinary person has the same chance to find a loophole as the rich. Which will tend to cause them to get closed, because the rich have more money but ordinary people are more numerous, and the ability for ordinary people to exploit them would pressure the government to fix them.

Sometimes this would make the law more complicated, because the situation has intrinsic complexity and you have to enumerate the edge cases. Sometimes it would make the law simpler, because the existing complexity is extraneous and only an opportunity for gamesmanship. But either way it creates an evolutionary pressure for improvement.

Yes and you can relay that authentication, too.

The same way the fake laptop can relay your password to me, i could also relay the generated TOTP code from the stolen laptop to the fake in front of you. As tried to convey, the fake laptop is basically a full MITM on your screen/keyboard.

Making a machine visuals non-reproducible helps that, but only if the attacker cannot easily switch the exterior parts (chassis, keyboard) between the two machines.
The self domestication hypothesis is interesting, and it was probably a component of early social structures, but I think it is also overly simplified and not taking into account the complex and intertwined relationships and tradeoffs of those annoyingly domineering and violent individuals.

Within a group, so-called psychopaths/sociopaths are more likely to end-up as leaders or outcasts, outcasts were removed from the gene pool one way or an other, but leaders privileged access to females likely compensated for this "self-pruning".

I other words, this hypothesis seems overly simple and weak, from my perspective.

Yes there is.
I firstly planned place sub server (other user's severs) mechanism which receives messages as same as main server and these can pass data to main server when it become online.
But it is complicated to implement.
So, it is not implemented now.

Additionaly, accumulating messages from following users servers when become online can be implemented.
But, this feature leads non ignoreable increase of machine/network resource consumption.
So this is not implemented too.
I live somewhere with ~3% property taxes on properties, including the one you reside in. Not so long ago mortgages were cheaper than that, and mortgages at least end someday. At the same time, short term rentals like airbnb are illegal. Combined, this leads to most landlords either being companies large enough to keep extremely high occupancy rates, or families that flout the law to rent a second property owned due to marriage or inheritance and become vulnerable the whims of neighbors.

I think allowing short term rentals, and giving owners strong eviction rights for damage, illegal activity or non-payment (which we have) need to be paired with property taxes to prevent all landlords becoming large inhuman entities.

It should also be noted that if you tax everything at the value it could make, you distort the usage of valuable locations to exclude housing.

> TPMs give you fine and adequate protections in many scenarios [...] my `ssh-tpm-agent` project

I agree that's adequate, in the sense that keeping the an SSH key as a password-protected file on disk is adequate, and having it be a password-protected secret in the TPM is no less secure than that.

But the whole point of binding a key to hardware is to be secure even if a remote attacker has gotten root on your machine. An attacker with root can simply replace the software that reads your PIN with a modified version that also saves it somewhere. Then they can use the key whenever your computer is online, even if they can't copy the key off. And although that's a bit limiting, once they've SSHed to a host as me once they can add their own key to authorized_keys in many cases.

That's why Yubikeys and U2F keys and suchlike have a physical button.

TPMs would be a lot more useful if the spec had mandated a physical button for user presence.
>> I don't think you can say a fact checker is slanted one way or another by finding a few examples of a bias

Allsides does a systematic review. Those are a few examples from the review. You can read about their process for determining bias at https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-rating-method.... One part of the process is an editorial review:

"The panel looks for common types of media bias such as slant, spin, sensationalism, and story choice. We review the outlet’s homepage, headlines, recent articles, photos, and other content dating as far back as six months using online archival tools like the Wayback Machine. Taking into account all perspectives, panelists individually assign a number, between -6.0 and +6.0, that they believe best represents the bias of the media outlet. These numerical ratings are then transcribed into a weighted average."

>> The tweet argued that Cuomo said that the vaccine being developed under Trump was bad, but the thing he actually said was that he thought the roll out plan would be bad.

The statement that Snopes fact checked was "Did Gov. Cuomo Say It Was 'Bad News' Pfizer Vaccine Progress Came Under Trump?".

Cuomo said "The good news is the Pfizer tests look good, and we’ll have have a vaccine shortly. The bad news is that it’s about two months before Joe Biden takes over, and that means this administration is going to be implementing a vaccine plan."

If someone is going to call the original statement "Mostly False", then yes, I would consider them to have a left bias. Cuomo is saying that it is good that we had vaccine progress, but bad that it happened before Biden was President. That sounds like an awful thing to say, and from my perspective, Snopes is covering for Cuomo who said something he would probably in retrospect like to have said in a different way.

Also, if we look at animals, dominant males become group leaders. It's just nature.

That's tautological, unless there is a third entity that could be paying the remaining part of the tax.
