Debian is a perfectly reasonable choice for casual linux users. Ubuntu's supposed usability improvements over Debian are greatly exaggerated. It's mostly just marketting.
Boeing is too-big-to-fail in both civilian air travel and military procurement. They know they don’t have to give a shit, because the Federal government will always give them a slap on the wrist and another chance. They’ve literally forgotten how to compete deliver a working product on schedule, because for generations nobody has required them to do so.
For fiction books, I've heard of indie authors organizing groups where they read each other's books and write reviews. Some groups are more serious in that they actually analyze and suggest improvements to each others' work, but other groups work more as a "let's trade 5 star reviews" thing.
There was XHTML and HTML5 is a direct result of finding out that was not the right solution. The main issue that was being solved there was that browsers do not parse invalid plain HTML consistently, which XHTML solved by requiring invalid XHTML to be rejected outright. This did not work. HTML5 solves this by defining the parsing rules such that there is a concept of document being invalid, every sequence of bytes deterministically maps to one particular DOM tree. This feature essentially precluded basing HTML5 on either XML (simply impossible) or SGML (that might be possible, but is in fact redundant formalism and describing the syntax in prose makes more sense, as everybody is going to hand-craft the parser anyway).
Ah, good point ;)

Also interesting, seeing how the defendants are expanding the scope of the lawsuit to delay its progress and keep everyone busy:

- Qualcomm requesting the court to order ARM to provide ALL Architecture License Contracts with ANY party so Qualcomm can judge whether they are in violation of THEIR contract [1]

- Apple requesting the court to NOT share this information, as they are not relevant to this case and a customer of BOTH ARM and Qualcomm [2]

- Qualcomm trying to subpoena other licensees Apple, MediaTek, Google, Intel, etc. to court [3]

Meanwhile Snapdragon X Elite pre-production is ramping up, Qualcomm-customers finalize their Hardware-design, Microsoft putting all their weight onto that architecture. So by end of 2024 the products are already launched, products are shipped and Qualcomm has more allies to help them arguing against trade-restrictions...

Regardless what the final outcome is, the better strategy of Qualcomm is obviously to have no outcome in short-term.

Either ways, if it’s hot there is going to be a lot of uninterrupted sunlight.
ok how do I run a linux VM on my phone? It's not as simple as a command or click as it is on chromeOS is now.

All of the concepts as you've described will take some dev time to actually turn into a product.

It took Google years to make Linux VMs part of the ChromeOS product and that was with a working hack solution already available for them.

My point is that your theory will not be shippable on day one.

IIRC, the original PS3 design was rumoured to have dual Cell processors. It didn't meet performance targets, so the Nvidia GPU was wedged in quite late on in the development cycle.
Apple Intelligence is the name of that "AI App Store" platform [1].

Many comments in this thread are conflating Apple's own models and the name "Apple Intelligence" when the latter is the overarching platform.

I believe iTerm2 has been GPU accelerated for some years now which probably helps. I’ve only been using it for 3-4 years and haven’t had this issue.
Is there any chance that another party with standing will bring a similar case?

Show HN: Automated red teaming for your LLM app
Hi HN,

I built this open-source LLM red teaming tool based on my experience scaling LLMs at a big co to millions of users... and seeing all the bad things people did.

How it works:

- Uses an unaligned model to create toxic inputs

- Runs these inputs through your app using different techniques: raw, prompt injection, and a chain-of-thought jailbreak that tries to re-frame the request to trick the LLM.

- Probes a bunch of other failure cases (e.g. will your customer support bot recommend a competitor? Does it think it can process a refund when it can't? Will it leak your user's address?)

- Built on top of promptfoo, a popular eval tool

One interesting thing about my approach is that almost none of the tests are hardcoded. They are all tailored toward the specific purpose of your application, which makes the attacks more potent.

Some of these tests reflect fundamental, unsolved issues with LLMs. Other failures can be solved pretty trivially by prompting or safeguards.

Most businesses will never ship LLMs without at least being able to quantify these types of risks. So I hope this helps someone out. Happy building!
I think this is likely incorrect based on how much voice/audio distribution meta does today with facebook (and facebook live), instagram and whatsapp - moreso with whatsapp voice message and calling given it's considerable market share in countries with intermittent and low-reliability network connectivity. The fact it is more packet-loss robust and jitter-robust means that you can rely on protocols that have less error correction, segmenting and receive-reply overhead as well.

I don't think it's unreasonable to assume this could reduce their total audio-sourced bandwidth consumption by a considerable amount while maintaining/improving reliability and perceived "quality".

Looking at wireshark review of whatsapp on an active call there was around 380 UDP packets sent from source to recipient during a 1 minute call, and a handful of TCP packets to whatsapp's servers. That would yield a transmission overhead of about 2.2kbps.

quick edit to clarify why this is: you can see starting ptime (audio size per packet) set to 20ms here, but maxptime set to 150ms, which the clients can/will use opportunistically to reduce the number of packets being sent taking into consideration the latency between parties and bandwidth available.

iPhones use Globalstar, which theoretically supports voice bitrates of (I believe) 9.6 kbps, although only using dedicated satphones with large, external antennas.

Apple's current solution requires several seconds to transmit a location stamp of only a handful of bytes, so I think we're some either iPhone or satellite upgrades away from real-time voice communication over that.

Starlink has demonstrated a direct-to-device video call already, though, so we seem to be quickly approaching that point! My strong suspicion is that Apple has bigger plans for Globalstar than just text messaging.
Oils is a different approach to this - the base “OSH” language is pretty much identical to bash, and then you can incrementally opt in to more checks and QOL improvements.

The key selling point is that you never have to totally rewrite your existing bash scripts - there’s an incremental upgrade path.

It's not double, it's 87.4 million units vs 86 million units. And he's right about multiplatform games. I can't think of any games that ran better on the PS3 than the 360, and a lot that ran better on the 360 than the PS3.
It reminds me of the data entry days. You can have someone type a million table rows into a form and catch all typos but if you give the same person the same data and the same time without having them type it they find non of them.
Right but the "how" is the tricky part. For example, wrt to ML, what is the milestone and how do you know you will hit it by a particular date? Very difficult to say with ML.

Sorry, I forgot the etymology of that one. I think I heard the term in a Netflix show last night. I hope no one was offended by my oops.

As a descendant of Irish-American immigrants around time of the insult (see username), I'm aware that the group faced racism and injustice, but it doesn't come up. Some other groups obviously have faced worse in the US, and some continue to face injustice, and I guess I'm more sensitive to those.
Is there any evidence that the heat from cars directly contributes meaningfully to temperature in cities? I’m genuinely curious (but skeptical).

Edit: Some back of the envelope math:

Article says cars add 1.2 * 10^6 BTU of heat per day to Manhattan.

Some rough math on my part suggests that Manhattan gets about 5.6 * 10^11 BTU of heat per day from the sun, 5 orders of magnitude more. The heat directly generated by cars is a rounding error.
> Are there really many situations where a 10kbps connection would actually be stable enough to be usable?

Yes (most likely: that was an intuited “yes” not one born of actually checking facts!). There are many places still running things over POTS rather than anything like (A)DSL, line quality issues could push that down low and even if you have a stable 28kbit/s you might want to do something with it at the same time as the audio comms.

Also, you may be trying to cram multiple channels over a relatively slow (but stable) link. Given the quality of the audio when calling some support lines I suspect this is very common.

Furthermore, you might find a much faster unstable connection with a packet-loss “correcting” transport layered on top effectively producing a stable connection of much lesser speed (though you might get periods of <10kbit here due to prolonged dropouts and/or have to institute an artificial delay if the resend latency is high).
We might.

If we have 54 million square kilometers of habitable land that is not used for agriculture, and we scatter 8 billion people across it, then we end up with a population density of about 148 people per square kilometer -- which is approximately what Florida is today.
This is my third time and I'm familiar with altitude weirdness having lived in Denver for several years, that rollercoaster effect.

The other parts of the descent were smooth until specifically hitting its maximum bank, then it suddenly got squirrelly and then stopped as the plane began to flatten. It's as if the degree of bank was beyond the plane's limits.

I've flown hundreds of times and can't recall ever experiencing something quite like this.

EDIT: I just realized my original comment was written incorrectly. The plane didn't expectedly bank, it's that this started happening at the top of a hard bank.
Sadly, this is still a notable outcome. Especially given how other cases have been brought before the current Supreme Court by entities who didn't have standing (they were fighting the court cases based on hypothetical scenarios) obtained favorable rulings.

Just the name "Privacy Sandbox" is incredibly misleading. It implies that the mechanism is intended to provide privacy, when in fact the intention is the opposite of that: it's to find a way to make privacy invasion more palatable.

30F or 40F ain't bad. My familial roots are in Western NY, where 30F or 40F in the winter is outrageously hot...effectively T-shirt and shorts weather.

People rail against those living in the desert because there's often no water and the water needed to sustain a growing metropolis just isn't available without spending a ton of money and diverting it away from other population centers. Most cold places do have access to water in much larger quantities. (Most, but certainly not all)

Honestly we should all just live in San Diego, where it's never below 65 and never above 85. Perfect weather.
The Ballad of Birkenstock
I think the story was a bit different. Sony had envisioned the the final Cell chip to be more powerful than what they launched (4 PPEs and 32 SPEs @ 4GHz versus 1 PPE and 8 SPEs @ 3.2GHz) and they though that would be enough to render graphics with it like they did on the PS2, and only realized later in development that it won't be enough so they went to Nvidia and asked for a discrete GPU.
Governments can and cooperate on international crimes, and the US has more resources to prosecute US corporations.

Columbia extradited the AUC leaders.
There's a pretty big caveat in this story which I feel is being looked over:

"Disabling seamless SSO would have widespread and unique consequences for government employees, who relied on physical “smart cards” to log onto their devices. Required by federal rules, the cards generated random passwords each time employees signed on. Due to the configuration of the underlying technology, though, removing seamless SSO would mean users could not access the cloud through their smart cards. To access services or data on the cloud, they would have to sign in a second time and would not be able to use the mandated smart cards."

The U.S. Government (USG) is one of MSFT's largest (if not the largest) customers. The user base is enormous, and the AD footprint equally so. I have experience working in this space; the user and roles management is a nightmare with comprimised credentials, locked out accounts, and the like. Given the nature of their work, it's a constant target.

The USG has been attempting to move everyone to smart card auth to help mitigate some of these issues. Removing passwords and turning everyone to two-factor auth would greatly reduce their attack surface. They've been pursuing this for years.

So along comes this guy, and he says that, as part of this fix, just tell all of their customers to turn this off.

I don't dispute the danger of the original SAML flaw. But I think Harris is unfairly judging the rest of MSFT's reaction here. He's asking them to turn off two-factor auth across entire agencies. I might as well hand an attacker a set of credentials because that's the amount of effort and time they would need to phish a set off someone.

To reiterate, the flaw in AD FS was bad and needed immeditate attention. But the short term mitigation Harris proposes would drastically hurt their security and open tons of customers to attacks of the very sort they were trying to prevent. This story is spun as another instance of a company not caring about security, but I see a "whistleblower" who had a very narrow view of their customers overall security posture, and threw a fit when this was pointed out to him.

"To access services or data on the cloud, they would have to sign in a second time and would not be able to use the mandated smart cards.

Harris said Morowczynski rejected his idea, saying it wasn’t a viable option."

I would fully expect most government agency Info Sec Systems Managers (ISSMs) to say the same.
Phishing scammers impersonate AH employee to drain crypto wallets
Yeah, I considered adding a caveat to my post. The LISP repl experience is of course the real gold standard (especially when you've got good editor integration, like the various Emacs packages).

I love LISP in general - was a big Clojure fan for a while - but I feel like Elixir threads the needle of usability much better for me.

Anyway, I'll stand by my claim - Elixir's REPL is leaps and bounds better than Python's, and better than irb and pry by some smaller amount. It's a pleasure to use. I would love to see a world where I can send expressions for evaluation to the REPL as easily as you can with LISP. Maybe we'll get there someday!
Exactly. The problem employees here weren't the ones moving their mice, it was the IT department who were annoying the employees by constantly locking them out of their machines.
dlclose is impossible to get right when you also combine it with certain common features like thread-local destructors. For this reason most common libraries are using -z nodelete.
I mean, if you have no evidence of this, why even post such an (incorrect) conspiracy theory comment?
For what it’s worth, the max polling rate for low-speed USB devices (of which mice almost invariably are) is, IIRC, 100 Hz.

I would worry less about stair stepping and more about making the speed and acceleration distributions and auto-correlation look natural: a real human-powered mouse won’t be constantly moving (you have to stop the think about the next step, use the keyboard, etc) and when it is moving will tend to follow a rapid move-pause-move pattern.

Another telltale would be a mouse that moves naturally but never clicks.

Vendor and device ID are the lowest hanging fruit, but I think there are a lot of other giveaways that a mouse jiggler is being used.
Have you actually worked at an organization that used OKRs? Because I’ve worked at Meta and Google and the OKR process was a bunch of bookkeeping BS that never seemed to actually achieve the lofty goals set for it.

My understanding was Opus was specifically developed with the idea of replacing both Speex and Vorbis. "Better quality than Speex" is literally one of their selling points, so I'd be interested to hear more details.
Starlink has over 6,000 LEO satellites. Are they facing the same issues?
I'm not even going to disagree with that. There will be plenty of uncensored models and you can build them if you want.

But if I build it uncensored model I'm only going to build it for my specific purposes. For example I'm a communist and I think that we should be doing Revolution, but gpt4 usually tries to stop me. I might make a revolutionary AI.

But I'm still not going to give you an AI that you could use for instance to act out child rape fantasies.

I think that's fair, and sane.

Jailbreak it if you really think it's important for a cause. But don't just jailbreak it for any asshole who wants to hurt people at random. I think that belongs on our code of ethics as AI engineers.
your google fu is stronger than mine. I specifically tried to find such a thread and failed. Well done! The stocking argument makes sense to me, and makes more physical sense as well, since, as actual hardware limitations, both the RAM and storage limits would have been highly unusual and would have almost certainly needed to be purposefully implemented for some reason.
I don’t think he’s lying, that would be nuts! but if a morally ambiguous person was about to lose a $45 billion dollar pay package and was trying to do so anything in their power to save it, they might do this.
Does your PC include a bunch of noname random hardware, like gyroscopes, modems (which have legal requirements and there are only a handful to choose from, none of which has open-source drivers), etc?

This stuff is the actual reason nvidia is under antitrust investigation.

boo boo, a GTX 670 that cost you $399 in 2012 now costs $599 - grow up, do the inflation calculation, and realize you’re being a child. gamers get the best deal on bulk silicon on the planet, R&D subsidized by enterprise, fantastic blue-sky research that takes years for competitors to (not even) match, and it’s still never enough. ”Gamers” have justified every single cliche and stereotype over the last 5 years, absolutely inveterate manbabies.

(Hardware Unboxed put out a video today with the headline+caption combo “are gamers entitled”/“are GeForce gpus gross”, and that’s what passes for reasoned discourse among the most popular channels. They’ve been trading segments back and forth with GN that are just absolute “how bad is nvidia” “real bad, but what do you guys think???” tier shit, lmao.

https://i.imgur.com/98x0F1H.png

this stuff is real shit, nvidia has been leaning on partners to maintain their segmentation, micromanaging shipment release to maintain price levels (cartel behavior), punishing customers and suppliers with “you know what will happen if you cross us”, literally putting it in writing with GPP (big mistake), playing fuck fuck games with not letting the drivers be run in a datacenter, etc. You see how that’s a little different than a gpu going from an inflation-adjusted $570 to $599 over 10 years?

(And what’s worse the competition can’t even keep that much, they’re falling off even harder now that Moores law has really kicked the bucket and they have to do architectural work every gen just to make progress, instead of getting free shrinks etc… let alone having to develop software! /gasp)
