> Those maps are shit.

I know of nothing better.

It's just important to actually think about what graphs are showing you. In this case it's just pretty lines for a picture on the wall. Without bandwidth there's nothing you can tell.

The physical locations will be kept secret, they would be found with OSINT but it's of limited use outside of terrorism.

The bandwidth and lag is something of interest. I would be great to know how the data flows throughout the world. I wish some researcher at a university did this. What's data flow like between Lagos and Mexico City?

Clifford Stoll napkin mathed where the hackers came from in The Cookoo Egg using lag. I always thought that was cool.

“The hacker’s signals might be traveling through a satellite link. It takes a quarter second for microwaves to travel from earth to the satellite and back.” Communications satellites orbit twenty-three thousand miles over the equator.
“Yeah, that’s one reason,” Lloyd said. “But you’d need twelve satellite hops to account for that three-second delay. What’s the real reason for the delay?”
“Maybe the hacker has a slow computer.”
“Not that slow. Though maybe the hacker has programmed his Kermit to respond slowly. That’s reason two.”
“Aah! I know the third delay. The hacker’s using networks that move his data inside of packets. His packets are constantly being rerouted, assembled, and disassembled. Every time they pass through another node, it slows him down.”
“Exactly. Unless you can count the number of nodes, you can’t tell how far away he is. In other words, ‘You lose.’ ” Lloyd yawned and returned to repairing a terminal.
I consider the difference between animals and us as ... don't laugh .. the difference between an 8bit video game and a playstation3/4/5 one. We might have 10, 1000, or 100000x more details but the core ingredients are the same.

Why do those two places have a special need for 'magic'?

Especially concurrency is hard to get right, so it's probably better to make it as clear as possible as to what's happening?

Btw, would garbage collection count as 'magic' in your book?
Yes. The free market would solve the first two, the next two aren't even crimes currently, and with the last the crime is the violence/vandalism not someone telling a fib.

You have never used for..range in Go? That's an iterator.
Have you, as an adult, had a relationship with an animal, like a cat or a dog?

I was thinking about this once, why I believe my cat was conscious and was a person. I came to the conclusion that the relationship was a sort of epistemology, and that I knew my cat was a person, had a personality, and loved me because I understood the relationship. When my cat was passing, all they wanted to do was spend time with me.

I realized this was true not just of my cat, but with every human in my life, as well. How do I know my friends are people? How do I know they care for me? Because I have a relationship with them and I understand the relationship.

That's not the sort of factual knowledge I can express and transfer to you. But it's real all the same.
Oh, the same for my 2016 MacBook Pro.
Go has very much "magic" all around. Take a look at goroutines, they are pure magic. Theres also lots of implicit magic going on with magic comments, file names convention etc.
I recently came across a slew of replacement boards that basically completely take over your washing machine and runs it. Some Chinese generic stuff that is meant to install in any machine missing its original control board.
I basically only can see in dreams and visions, but rarely remember full images. Basically, everything in my mind is in a compressed symbolic state.

The most notable difference is if you ask me to imagine something, there isn’t any detail in the “image” that I haven’t intentionally placed there. “Imagine the face of a stranger you haven’t met before; what color are their eyes?” Idk, I can add eye color to the image, but I certainly can’t just observe it, because both before and after it’s just the concept, not like a picture I can just look at.
Curious how this compares to the other zkVMs.

In my view, aiming for simplicity is good, but only simplicity of the whole system, and superficial simplicity is often at odds with total simplicity.

The following code is composed from a small set of simple operations,

transformed = []
for (i = 0; i < len(list); i = i + 1)
{
el = list[i]
temp = transform(el)
transformed.append(temp)
}

but together the simple operations form a complex operation. The effect of each individual line is immediately clear, but the effect of the whole procedure is (marginally, in this toy example) obscured. However, If we extend our small set of simple operations with complex but common operations, we can express complex operations with conciceness that, overall, makes them simpler to recognize and reason about:

transformed = list.map(transform)

The effect of the line now requires more background knowledge, but in return the effect of the entire procedure becomes more readily apparent.
In defense of those who haven’t read the RFCs personally — I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen SPF macros in the wild, which holds true if I included yours.

Interestingly all Proofpoint customers too.

I’ve seen it more common to isolate services to subdomains and specify subdomain SPF records rather than use macros. This is my preferred approach.

I’m not hating on the macros. They’re just seemingly very rarely used. I know they’re on the table but I haven’t found a compelling use case in my own deployments.
DiffusionBee on Mac has AI infill on images, and the models run locally and it’s free and open source. I have to think that someone is looking at implementing that in GIMP, at least as a plugin.

It’s a process of serialization. I frequently have thoughts or ideas that take me a while to express in words. Being stuck to words seems so limiting, slow, and linear that I have a hard time believing it; surely there are more fundamental mental processes generating the words and the monologue is just a serialization of thought? Right?

> Animals don't teach language to each other like humans do.

They do not teach language like humans because they are not humans. However studies show that some animals do teach their young language.

Many bird species, such as zebra finches and canaries, learn their songs through a process similar to human language acquisition. Juvenile birds listen to adult tutors and practice their songs, receiving feedback and adjusting their vocalizations accordingly.

Dolphins and whales use complex vocalizations for communication. Mothers and other group members have been observed teaching calves specific calls and whistles, which are essential for social interactions and identification within pods.

Meerkats exhibit teaching behaviors where older members demonstrate specific alarm calls and foraging techniques to pups. These calls convey different types of information, similar to vocabulary teaching in humans.

Former admin of the Fallout Wiki here, (The Vault/Nukapedia) - the Fandom takeover absolutely decimated the quality of information we worked so hard to curate over the years. For example, we had an explicit “no strategy” rule for our quest related articles. We wanted to provide enough information about the quests without suggesting any “optimal” ways to beat it. Fandom carelessly injected autoplaying videos on said articles with random streamers/youtubers showing you how to best beat the quest. That, coupled with the horrible takeover of styling and structure, I felt Fandom really signed a death warrant for something we were all proud of.
But it won't. None of them have worked and the industry knows it.

Nope. If you support laws that censor criticism of israel you are not a free speech supporter, let alone an absolutist. The term has a very clear definition and it's the opposite of what the antisemitism law entails.

>... I am not American, neither do I have anyone in power who supports the speech I agree with.

Did I say you were American? All of Europe and many parts of Asia are way worse when it comes to free speech.

>Do you support Free Speech of the person screaming obscenities at your young child? False claims about you? Whipping up entire communities to attack you physically?

Yes. If it's just words and not a direct threat it's fine.

Direct threats are a fine exception because they promise crossing over from words into physical action, at that point the NAP is violated if you want to look at it that way. No need to wait and see if they're actually going to follow through.

Aside from that I really don't see any need for further exceptions.
As soon as we ate the forbidden fruit we became self aware, aware we were naked, aware we were vulnerable and mortal. We learned about the future and that we could sacrifice things now to perhaps make it better. So we work, we pass on more than instinct with language to our children. Read of the transformation that Helen Keller went through once she learned language, many similarities to this biblical narrative.

ChatGPT was down due to major outage – here's what happened
My dad was a programmer, so there was a certain expectation I would be one as well. As a child I chaffed at that like I did with all expectations. I insisted I wanted to be a scientist.

So I went back to Borders and bought a book on Python.

Not exactly. The promise of SGX and secure hardware enclaves is that the code that executes there should run with access to protected encrypted memory pages (enforced by the CPU VMM), and the state of the enclave can be remotely attested. Basically, it's designed to run a secure application in an untrusted computing environment as long as you trust the hardware to implement the features correctly.

That last part being the rub.
I have 420 mm folding bike with Nexus-3. The correct ratio is less than 2:1, which meant changing both sprockets to smallest and largest available. I do not even know what to do with 622 mm wheels.
the tricky part with systems like these isn't to find and fix the worst things that people can come up with on 4chan because they're by definition obvious. The much trickier part is finding the little problems that way more people run into and that most people might not even immediately recognize or report.

And that is a very complicated science in particular with something that can be as fuzzy and intransparent as generative AI.

I personally use docker-mailserver https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/latest... because it's a pretty traditional stack (postfix+dovecot+sieve etc) just already containerized and configured, so there's a lot of info already out there on how it works

The number 0 requirement that you have to solve regardless of stack though is to get an IP with a good reputation. I've got Comcast Business to my apartment, which I think is probably the best way to get a good IP since it's relatively difficult for spammers to have used it in the past. Alternatively, relay everything through Mailgun/SES/whatever
This describes my experience nicely too, although I didn't quite realize it until reading this. I was thinking I just thought in words and had a tendency to mix up the bits of various languages I know some words from, but occasionally I have some thought, then for one reason or another become conscious of the thought and get confused which language I was thinking in. Sometimes this even manifests as trying to mix languages (eg at one point I used to struggle to not sprinkle in french and farsi words into normal english, despite speaking english at a native level and only knowing the basics of the other two).

I've always thought of my mental model as an endless conversation with myself, but I think the more fitting description would be a "smooth" series of thoughts which only materialize into language when I explicitly focus on those thoughts as their own thing.

I do also think visually for things that have a visual component though.
In the US, you don't have to find people to translate your app and provide support in other languages at all. It would help if you did this for Spanish though, but that's it.

Most estimates put the total global human population at less than 1 million prior to the end of the glacial period and the beginning of the Holocene.

For most of the globe agriculture was not possible. While canines were probably domesticated in the glacial period, they served as hunting partners primarily. It's actually quite hard to build fencing over large amounts of land area (like sheep and cows require) that is capable of keeping animals in, unless you have metal to cut wood with. The United States had open cattle ranging until barbed wire was invented in the 1870s, since it was too difficult to fence. And open ranging was only possible after horse domestication.

We also do not see evidence of grain domestication or any kind of real farming until the start of the Holocene 10K-12K years ago. The climate was not particularly friendly to farming, and without access to metal, farming is orders of magnitude more difficult.

The original article is about Australia alone, and 45K years ago, Australia probably had a human population in the low thousands, with it being on the frontier of human expansion at the time. There is no evidence of massive human population at that time or any time before 12K years ago. In fact, there's several population bottlenecks where they think the total number of humans alive globally was around a few thousand.

In my experience this approach is becoming more common, but slowly.

I still configure my default apex DMARC records (in most scenarios) to enforce strict alignment on both SPF and DKIM, but I’ve been relaxing that on a case by case basis or overriding the apex DMARC policy at a subdomain level and only using DKIM where supported.

That’s very interesting. Does designing the DAG in advance imply that you have to make a new one for each particular subset of end-user questions you might receive? Or is your problem space such that you can design it once and have it be useful for everything you’re interested in?

My choice of words was poor: by “pre-baking”, I just meant: generated dynamically at runtime from the user’s query, _before_ you then set about answering that query. The nature of our problem space is such that we wouldn’t be able to design DAG in advance of runtime and have it be useful everywhere.

The answering process itself is then handled by deterministically (in code) resolving the dependencies of the DAG in the correct order, where each node might then involve a discrete LLM call (with function) depending on the purpose. Once resolved, a node’s output is passed to the next tier of the DAG with framing context.

To the contrary, I do think landing on the moon and QM requires a different kind of mental process than a beaver.

However, the problem is that this implies that consciousness is a function of intelligence, and if only exceptional intelligence is sufficient evidence of consciousness, then would less intelligent people be considered having no consciousness, just like animals?

If one entertains the additional argument in the form of "all humans are the same, and some are shown to be smart (spaceships, QM, etc), thus all humans are conscious", then the question becomes why don't we apply the logic to all animals/mammals/apes, since it's clear the biologically we are constructed with the same parts?
