If you think that a 3-letter agency is making a concerted effort to tamper with your personal computers, then you basically can't trust anything about your computers at all, forever. What makes you think that your SSD actually got overwritten? How do you really know that the firmware you flashed actually has the correct signature?

Extra hardware could be hidden inside connectors, or packaged into re-labelled chips that look exactly like what you're supposed to find. The only end to it is if you:

1. stop using computers or depending on them to control anything about your life,

2. or build a computer (and all the necessary tools, etc.) entirely from resources which you either already trust or that you circularly prove are trustworthy (you'll have to do this in a totally secure workshop so that you know nobody tampers with your work before it's complete and you've sealed the computer shut),

3. or just give up on having total trust in your computers.

I think there is a really strong reinforcement learning component with the training of this model and how it has learned to perform the chain of thought.
No, I don't think this logic holds, at all.

Perhaps consider other options which don't require large force. I'm currently running a normal aeropress, from before the VC buyout, with a Fellow Prismo + paper filter, and i'm getting results which I'm very happy with. I use my forearm to press rather than hands. I've been happy enough i've avoided building a Gagguino[1], which I'm a super big fan of despite my distaste for vibratory pumps.
For no heater or lever, this compares relatively poorly to a Flair[2] in my eyes. I've found all this coffee stuff to be highly available used at a discount all along the Atlantic coast US.

You could then also run it through SVGO to compress it further.
But that's the problem with D&D in 2024. Role-playing games have moved far away from the constraints of old school levelling and fighting simulators. I am glad people enjoy D&D but role playing games have so much more to bring in term of narratology and experience than in ludology. It's getting drowned but it's still there. Move away from excel in disguise.
I'd suggest looking around to see if you can find what procedures the alphabet soup guys are doing to their own hardware (some of it is public, some through Snowden). If they're building in backdoor, they will take steps to remove/mitigate it from their own systems.

One thing to point out, that yes, the exploits could be mass produced, but that doesn't mean your machine will be their target. So the people saying that they aren't important enough to be targeted are still kind of right.
Sure. My comment isn't really about Apple specifically so much as bounty program misconceptions generally.
If they are cost effective, going to a retirement home or getting an aide will become a choice. Elderly care is expensive; I wish those robots existed already. In much of the world, this is a task that falls to the offspring since the social infrastructure is not up to the task. And naturally this artificially increases the fertility rate; people have children just to make sure they are taken of in their old age. Once the robots arrive, this will no longer be a necessity, so robotic care is arguably the morally superior option since it does not involve using people as a means to an end.

TLDR: Researchers in one big university survey in UK tend to prefer taking air travel (mostly juniors) than taking train or other alternative methods. The article is discussing from European perceptive where there is actually other options.

I hope that no would think of similarity with the US because it lack sane alternatives. Driving for i.e two days wouldn't be less harm and wouldn't be possible because you will waste couple of days in traveling and will cost more of the limited money for travel in grants. And I really hope that one day the US will have a good train system.
Do you have a source about OpenAI hiring a few hundred professors, journalists and writers? Because I honestly doubt.
I've thought about this. Nice burrs are available, yet the other machined components are less so available. 3d printing will get the project only part of the way for what I'd think of for a real part. My brain is sort of putting a plan together as I'm typing, so perhaps I'll put together a prototype when my brain is less taxed.
I mean, of course they are a good idea, what we need is more examples of actually doing them in practice. :-)

I.e. quoting from the post:

- monolithic databases need to be broken up
- Tables must be grouped by module and isolated from other modules
- Tables must then be migrated to separate schemas
- I am not aware of any tools that help detect such boundaries

Exactly.

For as much press as "modular monoliths" have gotten, breaking up a large codebase is cool/fine/whatever--breaking up a large domain model is imo the "killer app" of modular monoliths, and what we're missing (basically the Rails of modular monoliths).
This feels like a marketing move to me, claim your model is so powerful that it’s dangerous, and people will be more interested in using it.
Which part does not follow? Even supposing that the members of Apple's bug bounty team are all well-meaning, but that the program itself is chronically mismanaged, one might conjecture that Apple is disincentivized from investing in making the program better-managed.
There's a footnote indicated by the superscript 1 in your quote:

Bpfsnitch: Open-Source eBPF-Based Real-Time Monitoring for Linux and Kubernetes
Hi HN,

I just released bpfsnitch, an open-source, real-time monitoring tool for Linux systems and Kubernetes clusters. Inspired by the need for deeper security insights without adding unnecessary layers, bpfsnitch leverages eBPF technology to monitor system calls and network activities at the kernel level.

Key Features:

Real-Time Monitoring: Track every syscall and network event as they happen.
eBPF Powered: Efficient, low-overhead monitoring directly in the kernel.
Easy Deployment: Deploy as a DaemonSet in Kubernetes for instant cluster-wide visibility.
Prometheus Integration: Exposes metrics for seamless integration with your monitoring stack.
Container Awareness: Labels metrics with container names for granular insights.
Fully Open Source: Released under the GPL license—accessible to everyone.

The aim is to make security more accessible by providing a tool that's easy to deploy and offers immediate value. Whether you're a DevOps engineer, a security professional, or someone interested in learning more about eBPF and kernel-level observability, I believe bpfsnitch can be a valuable resource.

I'm eager to contribute to the eBPF community and engage in conversations about enhancing security practices. Feel free to check out the repository, give it a star if you find it useful, and join the discussion. I will be here to answer any questions and would love your feedback!

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/nullswan/bpfsnitch

Looking forward to your thoughts and contributions!

I read quite a lot of Ballard and I found 'The kindness of women' provided some interesting context on the various themes of his work.
Yes that is right! That is cancerous. Apple, not paying the peanuts as a bounty, is fully responsible for spreading these terminal diseases.
If the concern isn't copyright infringement what would the new law be about? What's the harm people want solved? Is it just some philosophical objection, like people not liking the idea of other people doing something they don't like? Is it fear of future potential harms that haven't been seen in real life yet?

Is it just "someone else may be using what I published publicly to make money somehow in a way that is legal and doesn't infringe on my copyrights but I still don't like it because they aren't giving me a cut?"
What would the new law look like?
Why was this downvoted? It's not just another generic "rewrite it in Rust" comment. I was making a specific point that incremental rewrites of existing C++ code are very possible in Rust. And that process would not be that different from rewriting the code in a "safe" dialect of C++.

If it makes you feel better you can rename the Rust language to "C++2.0" but the rewrite process itself will be the same in both cases. You keep expanding the amount of safe code you have within the codebase over time, one module at a time.
Honestly that's a rare good use case for AI: low stakes, passes through a human before anything actually happens, and is about ambiguos categorization based on human language.
There is a noise canceling mode that let's you hear what is received by the microphone array and an option to "filter in voices while suppressing noise" (they call that voice passthrough). That section of the app is called "Ambient Sound Control" if that helps your research.

Execise is health hygiene, its not a diet plan. This is obvious when you look at how hard it is to not eat a snickers bar vs how hard it is to burn off a snickers bar worth of calories via exercise. What you are talking about above is maybe a twenty pound seasonal discrepancy, it's not what most fat people are dealing with (also a quarter of that twenty pounds is just excess water you probably shed in the first week of adding back increased activity in the summer)
The bigger thing here I think is that the target platform is macOS. An important detail to internalize about major grey market buyers of vulnerabilities: they tend not to stockpile; every vulnerability they buy they need to maintain, and there's not much benefit to maintaining vulnerabilities you aren't going to use. There is, how should we put this, probably not a whole lot of scarcity in macOS RCE vulnerabilities? It would be wild to learn that a threat actor at NSO's scale doesn't already have macOS (and Windows, and Ubuntu) wired for sound already.

(This stockpiling thing isn't me guessing; it's something I learned pretty recently).
That's just how the free market works wink wink nudge nudge
>>So basically we have nothing.

Except the biggest IT outage ever. And a postmortem showing their validation checks were insufficient. And a rollout process that did not stage at all, just rawdogged straight to global prod. And no lab where the new code was actually installed and run prior to global rawdogging.

I'd say there's smoke, and numerous accounts of fire, which this can be taken in the context of.
Pretty much my thought seeing this too. I don't know how much I'd ever want to DIY something that deals with steaming hot water at high pressures.
Yeah seem fair, as long as they also check the terms of service for every site on the internet to see if they can use the content for training.
You also have to make sure that some meaningful fraction of the rewards for those productivity gains actually go to the general population — rather than being captured by a tiny fraction at the top of the socioeconomic ladder. Otherwise you get Elon Musk with 11 kids but a broad-based demographic decline.

The words "internal thought process" seem to flag my questions. Just asking for an explanation of thoughts doesn't.

If I ask for an explanation of "internal feelings" next to a math questions, I get this interesting snippet back inside of the "Thought for n seconds" block:

> Identifying and solving

> I’m mapping out the real roots of the quadratic polynomial 6x^2 + 5x + 1, ensuring it’s factorized into irreducible elements, while carefully navigating OpenAI's policy against revealing internal thought processes.
> "Don't put laptops on here."

With an explanation why not? I feel like having that, instead of a "Here Be Dragons" note would be more helpful, so someone won't ignore the sign thinking "It'll be fine".

Also it'd be funny if the sign is still there even though all* laptops have SSDs now...
I'm not deriving this axiomatically. The bounty programs I'm familiar with incentivize their teams to grant more bounties. I don't have recent specific knowledge of how Apple's program works. Obviously, Apple is more fussy than other programs! They want very specific things. But a just-so story that posits Apple's bounty incentives are just wildly different than the rest of the industry isn't going to get you and I anywhere. It's fine that we disagree. I do not believe Apple ruthlessly denies bounty payouts, and further think that claims they do are pretty wild.

(I have no opinions in either direction about whether Apple is denying bounty payments because of difficulties operating the program!)
No, it's not search. It's feeding the model's output back into itself.
Big OpenAI releases usually seem to come with some kind of baked-in controversy, usually around keeping something secret. For example they originally refused to release the weights to GPT-2 because it was "too dangerous" (lol), generating a lot of buzz, right before they went for-profit. For GPT-3 they never released the weights. I wonder if it's an intentional pattern to generate press and plant the idea that their models are scarily powerful.

> You can exercise without changing your diet, but you won't loose (much) weight.

Exercising without changing your diet is seriously nontrivial for most people, due to compensatory eating - if you burn an extra 400 kCal, you will likely experience commensurate increase in appetite & eat an extra 400 kCal. It takes a lot of vigilance & discipline to avoid that.

IMO that's the 'real' reason diet is a more effective lever for weight loss than exercise. In theory, burning those extra 400 kCal thru exercise is just as effective for creating a caloric deficit as reducing daily consumption by 400 kCal, but in practice it still requires you to eat less than what feels normal/adequate.
>a few creators can sell the equity that is built by many creators at any time, but that all the other creators can only realize their equity if and when the company exits.

That's misleading because an exit (i.e., a sale or an IPO) is usually the only way that owners of real equity in a startup can cash out.

I'm not a bioweapons expert, but I think there's a lot of equipment and materials required to build a bioweapon of sufficient lethality and efficacy.

Look at anthrax for an example of a bioweapon with only one of those.
What we do when mixing beans in our breville is we keep the grinder empty and only add beans after weighting them for a single serving. For a split-shot, I'd just add ~9g of caffeinated beans, pull a shot and then pull a 2nd one with ~9g of decaf, or more likely just mix 19g of beans and pull a double shot. It is more hassle than just using pods tho...
> almost nobody has a jailbroken Switch

This isn't really my scene so I don't know the details, but I remember reading that the first 10+ million Switches produced have an unpatchable bootloader exploit. I'm sure you're correct that almost nobody actually has a hacked console, but my understanding is that they're readily available for people who want one.
The discussion was more about if the military fumbled Afghanistan or if it was a political failure.

You haven't shown a military failure.

I also disagree with that list of objectives and their current status. Let's go through 1 by 1:

+Eradicate Taliban. Complete. This is a new gen of fighters and the movement shares very little outside the name. Nearly all the Taliban from 2001 are dead of violent causes.

+Remove terroristic sentiments. Not a goal, but also has Afghanistan committed many terror acts in the last 15 years? Current status is trending green.

+Rebuild Afghanistan. Not an original goal (ie in Oct-2001). Also not a DoD goal, this was a State Dept goal after the military victory was secured. Also I'd argue that Afghanistan today has better infra than it did in Aug-2001, so this is complete.

+Democratic standards. Not an original goal. Also not a DoD goal, this was a State Dept goal after the military victory was secured. Not met.

+Prevent future 9/11s. Current status is trending green.

So we met all but 1 goal. That's not bad as wars go.

My guess is software engineers still have about 2-3 years of employment left. After that they will look like those switchboard operators who manually plugged cables to connect phone calls.
Coincidentally, governments should prevent anyone from building an open source competitor, which would be too dangerous to be out in the wild.

Another Occam's Razor option: OpenAI, the company known for taking a really good AI and putting so many bumpers on it that, at least for a while, it wouldn't help with much and lectured about safety if you so much as suggested that someone die in a story or something, may just not want us to see that it potentially has thoughts that aren't pure enough for our sensitive eyes.

It's ridiculous but if they can't filter the chain-of-thought at all then I am not too surprised they chose to hide it. We might get offended by it using logic to determine someone gets injured in a story or something.
