No, this is more about removing the idea that there is any safe network.

Don't assume internal network (or leased circuits or whatever) are secure.

Make smallest possible security perimeters - on servers you design/deploy, that would be often the server or even specific applications. With devices you can't secure better (like printers etc.) make small islands that can talk only with appropriate gateway device. etc. etc.
There are (or at least were) several incubators on different islands; they'd probably be happy to get strong proposals?

Historically it's been useful to argue you need to be out there to do your network protocol research :-)

Maybe, but there is much debate about whether bombs would do anything to predictably alter the orbit. We might just make it worse.
Most of the “Zero Trust” vendor solutions on the market are a joke compared to Google’s internal implementation (BeyondCorp). If you read through the journal papers Google published you’ll see just how much work it is to do zero trust properly.

If we’re going to exclude the cortical areas associated with vision, you also need to exclude areas involved in motor control and planning. Those also account for a huge percent of the total brain volume.

We probably need to exclude the cerebellum as well (which is 50% of the neurons in the brain) as it’s used for error correction in movement.

Realistically you probably just need a few parts of the lambic system. Hippocampus, amygdala, and a few of the deep brain dopamine centers.
BeyondCorp was, IIRC, originally the name for the internal platform that implemented Zero Trust security model, and after publication of paper on it popularised Zero Trust in the public.

Both the open source projects you link derive their history partially from the BeyondCorp paper.

There’s no such thing as false history in git. Git was not designed to provide an audit trail of keystrokes, and as you can see from the larger comment thread here: nobody needs that. Git provides a mechanism for establishing and rearranging commit dependencies. The order of commit dependencies can be changed by design.

You are factually incorrect about rebase making things harder for people or tools to understand. The primary use case for rebase is making things easy to understand, in private branches after liberal use of the ‘commit early; commit often’ rule. If you take rebase away from git, and ask people to be okay with commits becoming immediately permanent, you increase the chances that people will make mistakes or lose work before they commit, and you remove some flexibility of being able to work on multiple separate topics in a single branch. Like any and all tools, rebase can be used incorrectly, but it is not used incorrectly most of the time, and basing your argument on the rare accidents means the argument is straw man.
I got to meet David Potter and his journalist wife when I was working at the Royal Free Hospital. He funded the Potter Chair position which my prof Dr Kleta filled as a nephrologist for many years. I have a picture of myself holding a Nokia N900 and shaking his hand.

Still he smiled amicably enough and it's a treasured photo of mine.

Any alteration made by such a tiny spacecraft is so small that it becomes lost in the background noise of other unpredictable factors. An object this size is likely regularly struck by small rocks anyway. And osiris-apex has already altered the orbit slightly simply by approaching, landing or not.

This piece looks pretty detailed, although the marketing shades a darker light to everything.

The payment notifications from the past (3 months old pops up as well) is just an annoying dark pattern. You spent 3 months at spotify as an intern in 2023 (according to linkedin), using that this emphasized is at least deceiving.
At this point, I started to doubt in Alexander Bylund's existence (the one you display as a testimonial), one AI detection tool gave me back 92% likelyhood that it is a generated profile picture. Of course that could be a false positive, and not everyone should have a linkedin account as well, nor has he.

Does that argue for a two-part design like:

Indeed! And as a European, I find it even more curious when Americans take this more cynical stance.

I mean, what have we come to, when a European will go and take a risk, for a chance at an awesome discovery, and an American dare not? ;)

The explorers who first went sailed into the deep Atlantic, with unknown seas and lands beyond, were full of doubts too -- but they did it anyway. Because they had to. In our time, we humans have to continually rekindle our explorer spirit, no matter how settled or distraught our ambient culture becomes. We must explore, with optimism and willpower -- and yes, with plenty of intellect and skepticism too, but end with optimism -- precisely in order to solve the actual problems our world faces.
It seems like you fully agree with the parent.

I also agree, that the author probably not meant to establish an axiom: The axiom being established, while not having any support right now, does seem like something we can reduce in the future. The author also uses the word "currently" in their axiom, which contradicts axioms (or is temporal axioms a thing?).

I think the author merely meant to establish the scene for the article. Something I truly appreciate.

They are not comparable. There's a prevalent metaphor which imagines the brain as a digital computer. However, this is a metaphor and not actual facts. While we have some good ideas on how the brain works on higher levels (recommended reading Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain by David Eagleman) we do not really have any ideas on the lower levels. As the essay I link below mentions, for example, when attending a concert, our brain changes so that later it can remember it but two brains attending the same concert will not change the same way. This make modelling the brain really damn tricky.

This complete lack of understanding is also why it's completely laughable to think we can do AGI any time soon. Or perhaps ever? The reason for the AI winter cycle is the framing of it, this insane chase of AGI when it's not even defined properly. Instead, we should set out tasks to solve -- we didn't make a better horse when we made cars and locomotives. No one complains these do not provide us with milk to ferment into kumis. The goal was to move faster, not a better horse...

A lot of our cognition is mapped to areas that are used for something else, so excluding areas simply because they are used for something else is not valid. They can still be used for higher-level cognition. For example, we use the same area of the brain to process the taste of disgusting food as we do for moral disgust.

Delimited messages vs. stream.
It says that they don't have mitochondrial DNA anymore, and that they can survive in very low oxygen environments....but neither of those is the same as "not needing oxygen". Parasites lose a lot of machinery that they use the host for (such as digestive tracts).

Not needing oxygen would mean a pretty dramatic shift in a whole lot of biochemistry. Maybe that's exactly what has happened, but from this article, it sounds more like they evolved to tolerate very low oxygen, and also they use the host for a lot of necessary functions (common in parasites) and so have lost some unnecessary complexity.
In dollhouse they put people through nightmare scenarios repeatedly, to make their brain evaluate scenarios.

SPHINCS is essentially Lamport Signatures and SPHINCS+ is essentially removing the need to store “state” by using chains of hashes and a random oracle

I prefer tham to lattice-based methods because it seems to me that cryptographic hashes (and other trapdoor functions) are more likely to be quantum-resistant than lattices (for which an algorithm like Shor’s algorithm merely hasn’t been found yet).
Sure, it happens. How often it happens really depends on so many factors though.

For example, I have this setup where a model has some actions defined in its system prompt that it can output when appropriate to trigger actions, and the interesting bit is that initially I was using openhermes-mistral which is famous for its extreme attention to the system prompt, and it almost never made any mistakes when calling the definitions. Later I swapped it with llama-3 which is way smarter, but isn't tuned to be nearly as attentive and far more often likes to make up alternatives and don't get fuzzy matched properly. Someone anthropomorphizing it might say it lacks discipline.

Yes and:

As legendary methodologist Alistair Cockburn teaches us: People hate change. They really, really hate change. (paraphrasing)

> not only don’t care but are generally hostile to nonstandard work

Most persons have an immunological-like response to any and all change. Our minds (personalities?) strive to maintain an equilibrium at all costs. Even when the status quo sucks. Even when we intellectually commit to changing. We keep getting pulled back into the rut, foiling our own best intentions.

This trait makes change very, very hard (for most people).

Now multiply that by 10, 100, or 1000 persons. Organizational (cultural) change is that much harder.

This isn't an apt comparison. You are comparing a human trained in a specific field to an LLM trained on everything. When an LLM is trained with a narrow focus as well, human brain cannot compete. See Garry Kasparov vs Deep Blue. And Deep Blue is very old tech.

Yes, they made collisions with cat pictures and complete gibberish. Whoopdedoo.

They forgot that:

a) It required _multiple_ matches before it was mathematically possible for Apple to see any of the photos

b) AFTER the multiple matches to known and verified CSAM signatures there would be an actual human looking at the picture (at reduced resolution or something like that)

c) Only after the human factor they would consider getting law enforcement involved.

Now your fancy collision has slightly inconvenienced a minimum wage CSAM checker for 15 seconds.

Too much text. But what I will say is that the "good" merge workflow you posit really only exists in one place (Linux) and requires a feudal hierarchy of high value maintainers individually enforcing all the rules via personal virtuosity. I've never seen it scale to a "typical" project run by managers and processes.

Where the straightforward "get your stuff rebased into a linear tree" tends to work pretty well in practice. The rules are simpler and easier to audit and enforce.
