I think this may depend on where in the US you live. In the South, a real consideration in interactions is "what if this person decides to shoot me" likewise behaving in a way that is perceived as immoral (read: queer) is a great way to lose your job or (if you are a minor) be thrown out of your home.
Quebec probably has the single best cooperative financing ecosystem in the world (1B+$). There’s a need for more risk-driven investment instruments in the sector however to seed early stage ventures. Most of the funds end up getting reinvested in existing cooperatives who can already access traditional funding.
I'm not convinced Donald Trump believes anything at all, so I think he doesn't count.

I think you are talking to the right audience who will be excited about all the tools you shared. But to me all these things get in the way of writing. I wrote my first book (short story) entirely on gedit 2.x. It's only when I completed it that I started to use tools to automate publishing. Markdown, auto epub, html, and what not.

These tools are a distraction to the process. I just posted another book I'm writing on github and was asked to share a link to it. Now that an audience is actually watching, I spent countless days building tools around it rather than writing the content. It's nice and all, but I better get back to writing the book or I'll have a beautiful pile of code that does nothing. It supports markdown though...
Even then, some organism will digest the pieces of paper.
I guess the latter? The one on bing.com.
It is a coordinated group of the same people starting in the 90s with NIDS (Hal Puthoff, Robert Bigelow, Eric Davis, Kit Green, Lue Elizondo, George Knapp, et al.) through the 2000s with AAWSAP and AATIP. All the stuff happening currently can be traced to them and the ‘lore’ they’ve managed to build up over the years.
Considering that I just started one, the reason is, nobody will fund it

Why? Everybody with the money to start it, wants more money or special tax treatment via charity.

> Low code and no code platforms have an appeal of no source code - but having no source code makes it very difficult to train an LLM to control it.

Low/no code tools don't need to be like that. The next generation will be the ones beating the current incubents. As LLM can generate code, LLM-powered no-code tools will deliver high level products with a fraction of the effort needed nowadays. OpenAI, Anthropic and the likes won't be capable of creating the best UX for consumer apps using LLMs. That's a great opportunity there.
A well resourced attacker could manufacture a replacement backdoored key with your ECDSA key.
Even better imo than all the chemical energy we could store when we have excess solar, think about all the water we could create. Creating fresh water from sea water is extremely energy intensive, but there's nothing easier to store than giant bodies of water. Once the energy term is the reverse osmosis opex equation is erased, large scale water plants wherever it's sunny are going to start looking awfully attractive.
I have the utmost respect for the standards and engineering work done by NIST. I'm left with such cognitive dissonance seeing their name juxtaposed with "AI safety". That said, if anyone can come up with a decent definition, I have faith that NIST would be the ones though I'm not holding my breath.
right but as posed the EV is positive if ballmer picks randomly so you have to go into consideration of the adversarial case
We use AsciiDoc with Antora in our company. Most of the customer facing product docs are written in it.
I think this is a very enlightened way to understand things.

We have many models of reality available to us (whether we're talking "statistical mechanics" or "quantum chromodynamics" or "chakra energies"). Categorizing them as "True" or "False" is not very useful (is Newtonian physics "True" or "False"?). Rather, we should be content with judging our models by whether they are _useful_, and that judgement must be made contextually.

Having a mechanistic view of your experiences grounded in neuroscience is useful: It suggests that you should take your medication and that probably helps.

Having a spiritual understanding of your relationship to your experiences caused you to do things that helped you and made your life better. Does that mean that model is "True"? Who cares. It's sort of a meaningless question. It was a useful model, and that's all there is.

Somewhat relatedly, I was quite influenced by this (unfinished) work: https://metarationality.com/

I actually wrote down some thoughts about audio phase in a previous blog post: https://sander.ai/2020/03/24/audio-generation.html#motivatio...

I have an example audio clip in there where the phase information has been replaced with random noise, so you can perceive the effect. It certainly does matter perceptually, but it is tricky to model, and small "vocoder" models do a decent job of filling it in post-hoc.
I don't know if it was the medication. But at some point the voices stopped making sense.

For example if my care takers wanted to poison me. Why am I still alive? They have fed me for months?

I had actually given up on trying to evade my "enemies" and simply waited for them to kill me. But for months they never made thier move. This made me realise that I was delusional.

Any opposition who gets arrested will get those allegations by default in Iran. It doesn't mean that those are the real reason. The real reason is exactly what's written there: twitting a dot at supreme leader and getting more likes than him (he previously did say 'If I post a dot, I'll get more like than the supreme leader hahaha').

He was also posting satires about the religion of peace.... :) Source: I'm Iranian.
That's neat! How is it funded?
Not OP but long been intrigued by possibilities in this domain (ever since Changing World Technologies promised to, um, change the world -- not plasma based but same proposition).

I've yet to see a truly viable solution in this space that can economically compete; it would be nice to see it happen.
Yes it’s a private subscription based hauler like like Waste Connection, Waste Management etc…

However, we’re only ever going to do residential because the goal is to grow ownership of waste infrastructure to employees of the cooperative and cooperators, as well as homeowners with returns on their recycling and any other services

Eventually, the goal is to provide all community services, including banking and general services that you would expect a city to provide.

Currently none of the governments in the United States are functional enough to provide the services necessary at broad enough scale, so we’re bootstrapping it ourselves
Australia could make their land more productive with desalinization. Expensive energy is the main reason it isn’t done (what to do with the waste brine is the other bit).
The CornerGuard: Seeing Around Corners to Prevent Broadside Collisions
The difference is: LLMs are not humans with human needs and human rights. Unless these for profit AI companies can ensure that they can fairly compensate the sources of their training data, they’re using IP they have no right to use in order to replace the work of living breathing humans who need income in order to live in houses and eat food. Why would you place the potential profits of the few (and the massive environmental impact of using LLMs) over the needs and rights of your neighbors and humans all around the world?

300%. Apple is a particularly obstinate egregious offender. But these other tech fiefs also keep up the same shit: Google's App Store, Valve's Steam.

It's insane and absurd but the market being able to define itself & how it operates is the change. We used to have property law which offered people who owned things rights. But today the world is entirely built by contract law, by mega corps getting to offer only terms of use highly slanted towards them.

The idea of personal computing bespeaks an empowerment, a possibility-ization. I adore the internet, but by far the mass trend of the internet and business has been to subvert control & dominate possibility, to intermediate every step of the way to computational thinking & it's open possibility with restraint, guards, and checks.

I truly believe we are emerging amazing potential to do better, to create much broader scopes of more. But getting past what a single piece of software or single site enables & scoping systems larger, with a pretense of perhaps maybe if we are lucky intertwingularity is the gateway to heaven, that which the dirtiest shittiest scum have bent computing diametrically away from & towards their rotten bought sold & paying for core. It's been hell.

Put another way: Singers who aren't good enough to make it on their own form large idol groups (eg: AKB 48) to sell themselves, while those who are become stars on their own or form small bands with others of similar success.

How? This is common across many industries. It's not new for the US government to set the safety standards.
Yea, this is nonsense.

I've been trying to advocate for slowing climate change since about 2000. I've been to enough city council meetings, and seen enough government promises simply abandoned to know that this is a deeply naive way to just "expect" the world to suddenly become rational.

Let's stop the actively bleeding artery that is actively killing us before we even start to worry some efficiency gains we could get by asking the surgeon to do two things at once.

This is the difference between an environmentalist and an "environmentalist."

We need to fix climate change now. Get to carbon neutral now. Literally nothing else matters much.
Generally speaking waste collectors, totally exploit the labor force like this to largely their own detriment

To the point where they’re paying drivers helpers salaries in order to drive down their hourly wage to about five dollars an hour because they have no options

Really good commercial hauler drivers that do 20 yard rolloffs and have been doing it for a long time can make upwards of $50 an hour, but that’s because they know how to play the game

Our goal is To provide pathways to ownership for these collection routes for the driver and drivers helper themselves such that each of them can make collectively upwards of $300,000 a year and then own their own truck and route and everything that comes out of that
Unfortunately identity systems have adopted security through obscurity instead.

My issue with AI safety is that it's an overloaded term. It could mean anything from an llm giving you instructions on how to make an atomic bomb to writing spicy jokes if you prompt it to do so. it's not clear which safety these regulatory agencies would be solving for.

But I'm worried this will be used to shape acceptable discourse as people are increasingly using LLMs as a kind of database of knowledge. It is telling that the largest players are eager to comply which suggests that they feel they're in the club and the regulations will effectively be a moat.
See my other comments above, but basically were creating alternative infrastructure to the existing capitalist infrstructure starting with residential waste handling services in northern Virginia
ArtiPACKED: Hacking Giants Through a Race Condition in GitHub Actions Artifacts
>OpenAI Pleads It Can't Make Money Without Using Copyrighted Materials for Free

is not of course true. It said if it can't use the materials then its product would be bad and they'd lose out to Chinese competitors how did not have the restrictions.

Not quite sure what the answer is but I spent a fair bit of time today trying to get access to some paper not produced by Elsevier but for which they have managed to gate the worlds access to to make a few bob. There's a lot to be said for information being free.
Github's response was pretty bad. They changed the upload-artifacts workflow to no longer include hidden files _in a minor release_ and that broke thousands of workflows that required hidden files.

> about 10^5 kelvins (don't try to convert this to this strange unit of Fahrenheit)

Challenge accepted... it's about 10^5 Fahrenheit.
As a corollary to that, a lot of deserts terminate in coastline. Generating desalinated water from solar in these areas has the side benefit of "creating useful land".

What's left to figure out is the ratio of panels to water to land, and in turn whether the long term value of the land is worth the investment. (Dubai would argue it is.)
> but I could negotiate

Negotiation means bidirectional communication, right? So... have you tried running any tests on that voice?

I mean... I suspect everyone poked LLMs with a stick to some extent, probing their capabilities. I could be wrong, but I think it must be extremely natural for any human to interrogate anything unknown that exhibits any signs of potential consciousness. I cannot chat with my inner monologue as if it would be an independent entity (it simply isn't - just the same me), and this sounds like your Voice presented a personality and even an agency of its own.
It's a fun, upbeat article, but as an actual case, I think it falls down here:

> Our abundance of weirdos creates diversity not only in supply, but also in demand.

That's certainly true (imo), but the author seems to implicitly expect the supply and demand to match up and I'm pretty thoroughly convinced that they do not.

Thinking narrowly about jobs, there are a lot more people that want to be artists than people that want to buy art, causing art to be a pretty hard industry to make a living in. This is equally true of any other niche where there are X people wanting it and Y people providing it: there's no reason to expect those to be equal and, as it turns out, they rarely are.

You should assume Google, GitHub, and Apple are hostile and try to limit your blast radius. If you have an account problem they have no customer service to help you.
Socialism traditionally meant workers control over production. To the degree that Mondragon is democratic it is socialist.

Socialism came to be commonly associated with "State-capitalist monopoly" (Lenin) later in the 20th century but that does not describe revolutionary Spain at all.

There companies were mostly worker owned, democratically managed and freely associated within democratic regional and industrial cartels representing consumers' and producers' interests respectively. Highly advanced democratic systems. Larger companies were expropriated compulsory. Yes. But they were transferred into the ownership of the workforce. While smaller companies generally were free to operate as "private" enterprises though at a certain size that rarely made sense because all of industry was structured to serve democratically managed industrial operations.
The “looks physically the same” part is the problem I was referring to: this attack needs a lab and some time. If they have to add reprogramming a key and weathering it to look like yours to the task it’s certainly not impossible but it moves even further into “are you at war with a nation-state?” territory where the attacks are both unlikely to be worth the cost or easier than alternatives.

I’m not saying it’s not possible but 99% of normal people are really only at risk of online attacks or physical attacks which won’t be sophisticated stealth operations but more along the lines of “you’re sending me Bitcoin or I’m shooting your dog”.
UK: Petrol cars 'rationed to meet eco targets'
Surprisingly yes, most of the time. I’ve put in a few optimizations:

1. Remove all <style> and <svg > tags. These rarely add value, and can dramatically increase token counts.

2. For the “crawl” step, I exclusively pull out <a> tags and only look at those. The “extract” step looks at full HTML

3. For now, it only looks at the first 50k text characters, and the first 120k HTML characters. This is to stay within token limits.

The last part will be what I focus on improving in the next version.

There’s some previous work from the 1800s and earlier that feels relevant, especially Farbige Noten, which mapped notes to colors as a novel notation method.

Is there a typo in here around quintiles? The statement about quintiles as written seems to go in the direction of genetic determinism, which conflicts with “however”.

For sure across an entire lifespan and within our society, what you do with it has a huge influence. And, intelligence often works against you since the more intelligent you are the more alienated you are from a larger percent of the population and this can cause a lot of psychological issues that work against “productivity” and “success”.

But for young kids I’m pretty sure intelligence and school performance are very correlated, much more so than peak income and intelligence for example. Schmoozing ability doesn’t get you far on a long division test.
Do you have to type the markup by hand or is their an editor that has support for it?
Still more convenient than getting locked out.
Some of these platforms are less closed than others. Steam, for example, will give developers "Steam keys" for free to sell on other platforms or through their own storefront. So a developer can sell on Itch.io which only takes 10% (IIRC), the customer can use their preferred game client, and Valve pays for the bandwidth.

Can you imagine Apple or Nintendo doing such a thing?

This requires the attacker to steal your key. When that happens, by the time they can get the secret key I've already revoked it.

The biggest problem with FIDO keys isn't the fact that people can gain access to your accounts if it's physically stolen.

I have redundant keys for backup access. But I have no idea which accounts I used the lost key for, in order to log into them one by one to revoke the key.

How does everyone here keep track? A post-it note in the cookie jar?
Winemaking requires far more resources, labor, skill and time than simple grape juice production.
Not intentional propaganda (as far as Western media goes), just the usual cut-and-paste reporting with no particular directives from the editors to look more deeply into the story. It may reflect a bias, but in this case most likely an entirely unconscious bias. This is quite different from the state-originated propaganda (especially coming from deeply authoritarian governments such as that of Russia) which is very intentional and often more or less scripted and templated.

Meanwhile let's remember that the arrest (and draconian sentencing) were in themselves a very deliberate form of propaganda. It's not like the various Russian agencies could begin to care about a $51 donation. They did what they did for certain reasons, one of which was to send some very specific messages -- on one hand to the U.S. government; but also to their own people, both inside the Motherland and abroad.

That latter message being: "We're watching you, wherever you are, and however small and unimportant you think you are - so don't you even begin to think of crossing us."

This case was probably particularly appealing to them in part precisely because the charges could be presented as borderline plausible (rather than being simply trumped up from scratch). Even if they would ultimately prove to be quite flimsy if evaluated by the standards of countries with actual working justice systems, as seems to be the case here.

It's just another part of their playbook.
