Does the Starlink router not allow a hidden SSID? I’d imagine the EW equipment might still notice but it reads like every seaman’s phone was finding it.
I have this disorder. When you are starting to feel psychosis coming it gets incredibly difficult to shake.

I used to believe that god was speaking to me about how to love and abide by him through songs by Fiona Apple, Chris Cornell, whatever the hell I was listening to at the time. I would tell the techs in the place I was at to listen to the songs and I tried to convince them it was god, to which they would respond it was not.

There was a period of time where I was non-compliant with my medication because they didn't actually work. I stopped taking them altogether and I went into the deepest psychotic episode I'd ever had till that point. I would listen to things like Cannibal Corpse or Morbid Angel and get so freaked out I'd run to the bathroom and pray. Mind you, I had been awake for three straight days at the point, while going with 10 hours of sleep a week, at most. I called Crisis one night and told them there were demons outside of my door and if they could not remove them I was going to jump out of my apartment window. It may sound ridiculous but that was the most fearful I've ever been in my entire life, and I've been through awful awful shit.

Lately, as a middle aged person, my hallucinations have become even weirder. Hallucinating white bubbles that fill my entire vision or feeling like my face is made out of jagged alphabet blocks jutting out of my face.

I am not sure why this happens. I've been dealing with mental illness since I was at least 9, which is when I started to hear voices. By 11 I was crying everyday after school. By 12 the mania started to become real and then the hallucinations my freshman year that led to my first suicide attempt at 14. That was the year I got diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder which has morphed into Schizoaffective Disorder.

Brains are wild, wacky, unreliable little mounds of fat and water, no?
> What's non-constant-time is not the execution of the algorithm (as that would probably be exploitable even via USB, worst case), but rather the duty cycle of the externally-observeable RF side channel, if I understand the paper correctly.

Are you sure? Section 4.3 (pg 52) starts with "The leaked sensitive information relates to the execution time of Algorithms 1 and 4."
Stainless | Generalist Engineers, Customer Engineers, Full-Stack Engineers, EMs, Former Founders, Account Executives, more | NYC ONSITE | Full-time

Stainless is building the platform for high-quality, easy-to-use APIs. Our first product is SDKs as a service.

When you `npm install openai` or `pip install anthropic` or `go get …cloudflare`, for example, you’re downloading code that we generated. (I built the codegen system at Stripe for their SDKs, and am now building a better version for everyone.)

Next, we want to make it easy to build amazing REST APIs. REST is simple and ubiquitous, but right now it’s also messy, chaotic, and hard to get right. We’re going to build great open-source standards and tooling that bring the benefits of GraphQL (types, field selection/expansion, standards) and gRPC (types, speed, versioning) to REST.

We’re ~2y old, ~15 people, have strong revenue (could choose to be profitable), and great customers (including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cloudflare). We’re backed by Sequoia.

As one of our first 20 engineers, you’ll get autonomy to build great products, skilled peers, opportunity for tremendous impact, competitive salary, and a very competitive ownership stake.

We’re looking for exceptionally productive, thoughtful, tasteful, and kind people with a passion for making software development better for everyone.

Want to build the future of API tooling? See more at stainlessapi.com/jobs or say hi: alex at stainlessapi.com
Snarky and incorrect. This should compare very favorably (performance and efficiency) with Apple's M3 chip.

Slightly worse CPU ( https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/7483669?baselin... ), much better GPU and NPU, similar/slightly worse efficiency, 33% more RAM capacity.
What do you mean with bordered? The Zed application window is a fairly default NSWindow (on MacOS). You will have no problems replicating it in Iced/Winit. The popup WindowKind in GPUI is just used in Zed for some notifications as far as I am aware.
The way I interpreted it they're claiming their mathematical approach to relating the wave uncertainty in FFTs to uncertainty formula in Quantum Mechanics is a novel one. I don't think there's any actual new discoveries however, because there's an infinite number of ways to show that all of mathematics is internally consistent. However I have great respect for all their math, if it's all correct, and it may be useful to someone just like when Einstein "found" Lorentz formulas and Minkowski space which were done before him and ready for him to recognize the pattern that fit into his own tinkerings that we now call relativity.

You can download a height map file from https://terrain.party/ or https://heightmap.skydark.pl/ and start a new game with the unlimited money cheat. Then it's just a matter of placing roads, utilities, public services and zoning the rest (that's the fun part).
Those very same electronic-warfare concerns might be what's preventing that, barring something really fancy like hyper-directed satellite communication using lasers etc.

Considering that "streaming movies" figured prominently in the illicit data stream, I would strategically reframe the problem like so:

"America's excessively-restrictive copyright laws are putting our troops in danger!!!1"

Clearly, the only possible choice is for Congress to make explicit and broad copyright exemptions for public libraries, and then put one on the ship. :D
It's very rare, and also not very correlated with musical skill. Some people just have it, seemingly inherently, even without any formal musical training.
Wasn't there an article on how Valkey rewrote Redis to multithreaded with large performance gains?
Even if it is "just a fancy game", things like this can be very educational for upcoming generations of real city planner types. Get kids interested in those "real problems" in healthy ways early in life, and give them tools / toys to explore their ideas with. :)
Exactly. Section 4.3.7 briefly explains how they trained the model to better follow instructions ('steerability').
And it’s not like it isn’t amply established that it is a chip defect already.

Decent customer support would just send a swap right away, whatever they gain by not fixing this promptly they lose tenfold on lost future business.

Intel is in a death spiral.
Yes, and in practice you also often want to solve 'mixed' integer programming problems. Ie those that have both continuous and integer variables.

That works really well in practice (because most solvers relax your (mixed) integer programming problem to a fully continuous problem anyway, and then try to 'repair' any fractional solutions as necessary), but is apparently really hard to analyse in theory.
> Sounds like the Navy needs to provide better wifi before people get desperate like this and screw up their electronic warfare

"Desperate" is a strong word. The point is that there should be no wifi at all during these deployments, and there are reasonable operational security reasons for that ban. This isn't a "fix" to a problem, it's directly disobeying an order.
Your AI hallucinated some APIs, but in theory you could do something like that, sure. The issue is it's not following what the text said, where they read the entire buffer; it's reading a few bytes, then reading a few more bytes, to fill the buffer overall.

For the buffer example, the one after "As a made up example, consider:", I'm not sure I would personally write the code to move the previous stuff to the start of the buffer, but instead process the whole buffer, even if that means a partial parse, and then fill the buffer again, finishing the parse.

But if you wanted to translate the "Let's extract this specific example and try:" into Rust:

fn main() {
let mut buf: [u8; 16] = *b"D04GOKUD09OVER90";
let dest = &mut buf[0..9];

dest.copy_from_slice(&buf[7..17]);

println!("{:?}", buf);
}

copy_from_slice is a memcpy: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.slice.html#me...

This errors at compile time:

error[E0502]: cannot borrow `buf` as immutable because it is also borrowed as mutable
--> src/main.rs:5:27
|
3 | let dest = &mut buf[0..9];
| --- mutable borrow occurs here
4 |
5 | dest.copy_from_slice(&buf[7..17]);
| --------------- ^^^ immutable borrow occurs here
| |
| mutable borrow later used by call

= help: use `.split_at_mut(position)` to obtain two mutable non-overlapping sub-slices

We cannot use the help suggestion to make this work, because the slices would be overlapping. But it is a compile time error, not a runtime one. If we did use split_at_mut, that would end up being a runtime panic, because the index comparison happens at runtime.

If I wanted to do what the copyForwards example, sure, that works, but you're in the realm of unsafe: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ptr/fn.copy.html
This is cool, but still looks painfully low level. A library one level above this would be the sweet spot that would allow people to build killer stuff on top of. (Sort of like what OPs are doing)
I have family that work at Apple and Amazon. Both Apple family say its a grind (especially with frequent multi-week trips to china). The amazon family member says it depends on which team you're on.

All these tech companies are RTO, on-call schedules, and "high seasons" (Prime Day, product release days, etc.).
I like sharing information. Information wants to be free after all. Companies on the other hand want to charge people money to use their LLMs and associated AI products, so suddenly we've got a bunch of people profiting off of our content, potentially butchering it or hallucinating all over it in the process.

> No robots do that snow shoveling thing yet, when they do, sign me up.

No robots, but you don’t really need to exert yourself to get rid of snow. Self-propelled snow throwers with heated grips and a cab are a thing. For example: https://snowfallblowers.com/2020/09/09/ariens-11528-snow-thr...

I have a setup similar to this, using it about as much effort as walking a small dog.

> That's still not going to stop the drain of people from Michigan or say upstate New York to Arizona.

Good, more fresh water, natural splendor, cheap housing, mild winters[0], and beautiful fall colors for us.

[0] To be honest I’ve only even used that snow thrower maybe thrice in the past 2 years in southeast Michigan, winters are getting warmer and warmer every year it seems. The river barely even freezes any more, we had enough snow to cover the grass for maybe 2 total weeks last year.
Sure, but what about their other games? And can they guarantee that this game is now "bug"-free?

Gambling is already bad enough when it is done fairly. It's essentially a license to scam people. But it's absolutely disgusting that it is even possible to turn that into outright stealing. Why is not not mandatory for them to publish full reports on all rolls so that it can be verified whether it matches their advertised odds?
> Consent and reach _are_ keywords, since I get to decide what and how much I share publicly, and what I keep private. I can at any point stop interacting with whoever I want, at which point they only have a fading mental profile of me.

I'll just point out that I think this is where I find the flaw in your argument: You _don't_ get to decide what and how much you share in public. You might try, but you will never succeed, because it's impossible to not share what you don't realize you're sharing. I think this is why I find your argument entirely unconvincing: if you're incapable of knowing the extent of what you're sharing with other people in public, informed consent us impossible by definition. And if you don't know the extent of what you're sharing, how can you know how far that information can reach?

Sure, being online makes collection and archival of what you share easier, but "more privacy" doesn't address the root cause, because the root cause is that you cannot be fully aware of what context you share with others in the world--both online and off. I don't think this is a problem, because I think this kind of unintentional information sharing provides all kinds of benefits to society at large. It's the kind of thing that drives "gut feelings" and other forms of intuition, and we'd be impoverished if everyone adopted the kind privacy maximizing standpoint you're advocating above.

But opposing viewpoints are good, so I'm not super concerned if I fail to convince you of anything, really. Cheers!
Dividends get taxed immediately, so there is more pressure to reinvest profits in the company to find organic growth which is captured as capital gains instead. That reinvestment can take a lot of different forms like R&D, training, hiring, etc.

Continuity and Recovery are required by all infrastructure plans, since the number of 3rd-party suppliers is never zero, even with "self" hosted infrastructure.
Re: how could they have handled this better, they could've caught this on the first or second day.

No one should need to tell you that an easily measurable and obviously critical metric is wrong. You should have alerting in place for that. A difference of 95% to 0% should light up like a Christmas tree.

If you release a game that's impossible to win, you didn't do a meaningful amount of testing or QA when it hit production. I assume a dev played at least one game as a sanity check, but they didn't sit there and play until they won. A QA person wouldn't sign off on something if they only observed 1 of the 2 states it should reach.
no no I just started out with it so couldn't create interactions. I am learning and hopefully with all feedbacks, integrate more features in future releases.

Hey, right now I am myself the AI in the backend after the initial questionnaire is finished. I wanted to validate the product / need before building out more complexity.
So is the 15w. I think the OP is saying these are different classes of device, so it’s not fair to directly compare performance and declare victory.
"This is just a wild exaggeration of what's happening here."

Is it? From the article...

"Both OpenAI and Anthropic said signing the agreement with the AI Safety Institute will move the needle on defining how the U.S. develops responsible AI rules."

From the UK AISI website with whom the data is also shared (their main headline in fact):

"Rigorous AI research to enable advanced AI governance" (https://www.aisi.gov.uk/)

The reality is that this would be a tremendous waste of time and money if all were just to sate some curiosity... which of course it isn't.

Let's look at what the US AISI (part of the Department of Commerce, a regulatory agency) has to say about itself:

"
About the U.S. AI Safety Institute huuh

The U.S. AI Safety Institute, located within the Department of Commerce at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), was established following the Biden-Harris administration’s 2023 Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence to advance the science of AI safety and address the risks posed by advanced AI systems. It is tasked with developing the testing, evaluations and guidelines that will help accelerate safe AI innovation here in the United States and around the world." -- (https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2024/08/us-ai-safety-i...)

So to understand what the US AISI is about, you need to look at that Executive Order:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases...

"With this Executive Order, the President directs the most sweeping actions ever taken to protect Americans from the potential risks of AI systems"

"Require that developers of the most powerful AI systems share their safety test results and other critical information with the U.S. government."

There's a fair amount of reasonable stuff in there about national security and engineering bioweapons (dunno why that's singled out) But then we get to other sections...

"Protecting Americans’ Privacy"

"Advancing Equity and Civil Rights"

"Standing Up for Consumers, Patients, and Students"

"Supporting Workers"

"Promoting Innovation and Competition"

etc.

While the US AISI many not have direct rule making ability at this point, it is nonetheless an active participant in the process of informing those parts of government which do have such regulatory and legislative authority.

And while there is plenty in that executive order that many might agree with, the interpretations of many of those points are inherently political and would not find a meaningful consensus. You might agree with Biden/Harris on the priorities about what constitutes AI safety or danger, but what about the next administration? What if Biden hadn't dropped out and you ended up Trump? As much threat as AI might represent as it develops, I am equally nervous about an unconstrained government seizing opportunities for extending its power beyond its traditional reach including in areas of freedom of speech and thought.
Not familiar with Erlang, but from reading I imagine that rebar3 understands those `{% extends ... %}`, and uses them to determine what needs to be updated. With a Makefile, you'd express those dependencies in the Makefile rather than each file.

Although, one can probably write a Makefile such that it loops through each file, greps or otherwise obtains the `extends` and generates the Makefile rules that way.
Thanks for trying it out. It is still a product in building, your feedback will help me improve it.
not yet, maybe in future when its more of a full fledged cli game.
They've been surprisingly receptive. We've taken care to point out that the map is not the territory, but we've had conversations with urban planners and professors (especially the Town and Country planning department at the University of Moratuwa): they're very interested in using this as a teaching tool for students. I recently did a presentation to 150 students + urban designers and transport specialists, and they were super interested in
a) trying this on smaller pieces at greater fidelity
b) simulating other cities as well (like Kandy) and smaller towns where there is more planning leeway
c) using this to illustrate effects of plans like COMTRANS (https://www.transport.gov.lk/web/images/downloads/F-CoMTrans...) which is why we built the thing in the first place.

Well I said that because being an exec tends to be much more stressful, and I saw the discussion about the difficulty in hiring engineers abroad, but not about the execs. But maybe it’s less stressful in a democratically run company where employees vote on plans.

Coming up. I'm implementing some small bits of the COMTRANs plan, as it's politically relevant to our election cycle right now (https://www.transport.gov.lk/web/images/downloads/F-CoMTrans...). It won't be a full implementation - we're a small team, and I want to encourage other people to come on board with their ideas. We do have a reasonable "how we did this" section if you're interested! https://github.com/team-watchdog/colombo-skylines/wiki/Intro...
Data recovery instructions can be documented on paper in the same physical location used for financial accounts, e.g. fireproof safe, trusted off-site records, estate attorney. These recovery instructions are also required for data hosted by third parties.
The virtualization layer breaks many "container" expectations, I wouldn't call this containers without big caveats. Same as firecracker VMs may give some of the ergonomics of containers but come with a lot of limitations.
Navy already can’t meet their enlisted recruiting [1] and civilian mariner [2] targets. Operational security is a consideration, but unmanned vessels don’t sail and project force.

As stevetodd’s link mentions downthread, the Navy is procuring StarLink officially (likely as part of StarShield, their DoD product with milspec satellites and full DoD ownership and control [3]); peel off some bandwidth for the humans if you expect them to show up to the job. They’ll easily find a better job in the current labor macro otherwise [4].

This is insane yet not shocking. I can’t imagine throwing away my entire career, and possibly more, over this.

When I was stationed aboard the USS Mount Whitney, we had internet access at essentially all times. Yes it was painstakingly slow but you learned how to navigate that by using mobile sites, bookmarking exact pages, etc.

If I wanted to find sports scores, it’d take a moment but I’d get them - heck, we had fantasy football leagues going using ESPN while at sea. The mobile pages of Facebook and email was enough to communicate with friends and family while movies and shows were passed around on external hard drives.

I genuinely don’t understand what they gained from this to contemplate it yet alone act on it. My best guess is it was simply a chiefs mess with a ton of issues and who felt they were untouchable. But who knows.

There will be a lot of training..
To be fair, it brought not only cringe, also autocomplete on steroids. The architecture is good at applications that need pattern recognition.
Somehow I think even if they believed that, the incentives are still to talk about AI, because it signals something to some kind of investor class, and the stock goes up. It’s pretty maddening, especially when it has the potential to hurt the fundamentals (sales / profits), but this seems to be the cognitive dissonance of the moment.
Not even remotely close. If you have millions of dollars and lots of talented programmers, I can build an engine from scratch.
We do not live in an ideal world - public policy is about the art of the possible, and $19.99 (cost of Skylines in Sri Lanka) is a massive improvement from the $8000 a year fee for CUBE or OpenPaths.
