That doesn't make sense, because bounty programs can't punish vulnerability researchers other than not awarding bounties, and whistleblower programs can punish whistleblowers. I got what that comment was trying to say, but, no.

There is a benefit to customers by preventing their very expensive phones from being a popular item to steal.

Even if there hadn’t been stories in the media about how easy it was to steal Kia cars, if people kept having them stolen or knowing friends who had them stolen it would absolute hurt the chance that person would buy a Kia in the future.

Smart to try to avoid that.
I think you're just overthinking it maybe. To me, I picture a train crashing in to a vehicle that's on the tracks. Train smacks in to military vehicle. Blame isn't even in the equation but I can boldly assume as to why if it were too close, or on the tracks.

But yes it's mostly all weird, click-baity sensationalist horse crap.

1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_of_Buddhism_in_the_Ind... - From 986 CE, the Turks started raiding northwest India from Afghanistan, plundering western India early in the eleventh century. Forced conversions to Islam were made, and Buddhist images smashed, due to the Islamic dislike of idolatry. Indeed in India, the Islamic term for an 'idol' became 'budd'. — Peter Harvey, An Introduction to Buddhism ... According to William Johnston, hundreds of Buddhist monasteries and shrines were destroyed, Buddhist texts were burnt by the armies, monks and nuns killed during the 12th and 13th centuries in the Gangetic plains region. The Islamic invasions plundered wealth and destroyed Buddhist images ... The decline of Buddhism in the Indian subcontinent coincides with the spread of Islam in that part of the world, especially due to the Islamic invasions that occurred in the late 12th century. See sections "Turkic Invasions" and "Decline under Islamic Rule".

Some businesses just dump loads of devices into the arms of recyclers without offering any further help. If their IT team isn’t doing a proper Apple-sanctioned MDM-wipe then all those devices may still be activation locked. What can the recycler do with that? Just shred the devices.
A lot still needs to be done to make the design pipeline accessible to normal people. Any clown can set up a bambu and print objects they find/buy online, but it's a huge learning curve to get from that point to being able to actually create your own parts, especially stuff that integrates with the complex shapes of some existing object.

Recent examples from my life include wanting mounts for flashlights, a thing to attach to bike handlebars, a shelf bracket, a battery cover for a tool, a piece of a bird feeder, etc. Where is the interface that lets me scan the existing objects I need to integrate with and then quickly assemble prefab subcomponents into a printable design and seamlessly iterate on that?
Did they manufacture military designs though? Or just sell Intel designs (with some modifications) to military?

Suspect that a core reason for Jerry's PoV is that the dynamics of the (zeitgeist-related) software industry do not currently favor small teams. That's counter to the ethos of Silicon Valley and it's guy-in-a-garage mythology.

Jerry would've been 14 around 1980, plus or minus a couple of years, which would've been in the heyday of personal computing. TRS-80s, Apple IIs, the IBM PC, its clones, etc.

Then, and for the next 40-odd years, software was king (read: capital-light). And anybody could write software.

LLMs are much less egalitarian.

Can anyone write an LLM? Yes.

Can anyone train an LLM that customers will want? A few. But most will need a few Ms, maybe even some Bs.

Hence the AppAmaGooSoft benefactors and Jerry's complaint about the status-quo.

Software-like economic dynamics will return, but it'll take a while, and until they do, it'll be much less morally satisfying to be a VC (in software) than it has over the last 40 years.
Why is this considered such a great AGI test? It seems possible to extensively train a model on the algorithms used to solve these cases, and some cases feel beyond what a human could straightforwardly figure out.
That's funny, but it seems to be keying off Masada. Either a (somewhat, how many people will find that "easter egg"?) subtle dig at Trump or a messy job linking based on keywords in the article to past articles.
That's an horrible business if you plan on being nimble and competitive and blow away customers with your innovations.

My read is Intel isn't going for that trajectory anymore and stabilized for markets where politics can play a larger role.
I’m going to say this in the small hope that you may consider the possibility.

If what you say is true then there are people who can control others minds, thoughts, emotions and physiology.
Therefore, for each one of us - including you - there are only the following possibilities:

1. The controllers are currently controlling me. This implies that some or all of our behaviour is not the result of free will but of manipulation.

2. The controllers have attempted but failed to control me. This implies that the controllers are not omnipotent and it is possible to resist.

3. The controllers have not yet attempted to control me. Being aware of this implies that it is possible to tell when an attempt is made to control us.

4. I am a controller.

These are the only possibilities I can see with respect to what you are describing, assuming what you’re saying is true. So which of these options are you and what makes you think that?

Which of the above am I in your view? Also, if someone is being controlled, why even bother arguing with someone who isn’t or doesn’t believe it? It’s not like they’ll become convinced by the argument. They’re either able to be controlled or not so discussing it is moot.

There is of course the probability that what you’re describing is not true. That would imply that perhaps the organ with which you are trying to reason about this - your brain - is the problem and needs treatment. As someone who has been formally diagnosed with autism and ADHD, has struggled with depression, spent time in a psychiatric clinic, and is currently on medication and undertaking ongoing therapy, I can say that my mind has never felt clearer, I am more content, and more able to deal with past trauma and difficult situations.

I urge you to seek help.
I think huge advantage is that they keep eval tests private, so corps can't finetune them to model and claim breakthrough, which possibly happened with many other benchmarks.
Yes it would match both, this would require us to assume that "foo - bar" can only be an atom. It's not a great solution.
Ever since Apple started rolling out stolen device protection, whenever I try to access my Apple account, for example under Settings on my iPhone, the accounts gets "locked out". Then I have to jump through all kinds of hoops, including setting a brand-new password, and verifying from another Apple device, to get it unlocked.

I am terrified that this issue, together with the extra protection, is one day going to lock me out of my phone permanently.

Interesting - I'm used to desktop/workstation hardware where 80mm is the smallest standard fan (aside from 40mm's in the near-extinct Flex ATX PSU), and even that is kind of rare. Mostly you see 120mm or 140mm.
I believe OP's meaning is that effective regulation would have identified the issues and required the company to address them before the issues had reached customers, and killed several of them.

Which is to say that an effectively-regulated Boar's Head would still have its Virginia plant, and the plant workers there would still have their jobs. Nine people would still have their lives. And those who wanted to could still buy Boar's Head liverwurst.

Effective regulation preserves health, lives, jobs, and corporate reputations.

Ineffective regulation, regulatory capture, and complete deregulation destroy health, lives, jobs, and corporate (and industry) reputations.

I agree.

I think that the author may not have experienced these sorts of errors before.

Yes, the average person may not care about experiencing a couple of bit flips per year and losing the odd pixel or block of a JPEG, but they will care if some cable somewhere or transfer or bad RAM chip or whatever else manages to destroy a significant amount of data before they notice it.

Around 12 years ago I helped design and set up a 48-drive, 9U, ~120TB NAS in the Chenbro RM91250 chassis (still going strong! but plenty of drive failures along the way...). This looks like it's probably the 24-drive/4U entry in the same line (or similar). IIRC the fans were very noisy in their original hot-swappable mounts but replacing them with fixed (screw) mounts made a big difference. I can't tell from the picture if this has hot-swappable fans, though - I think I remember ours having purple plastic hardware.
They had no walls, were peaceful, and were suddenly gone?

The argument that gRPC is disposable because everything is stubby internally applies equally to REST. And I don't think anyone is arguing that REST is disposable.

Jerry Neumann is a cornerstone of the New York scene. He was helpful to anyone and everyone, with or without investment. He taught a class at Columbia that was the only practical technology entrepreneurship course in NYC for the longest time. His kindness and generosity were matched by his immense curiosity and pioneering spirit. His fund also had the best website in the game (for the longest time, a terminal emulator). Congrats Jerry on one of the best careers in VC. Thanks for showing so many that you can just do things your way and put integrity over hype every step of the way.
It's almost but not quite arbitrary. It still has to be a valid Rust token stream with matching braces/parens. Since it's whitespace insensitive with respect to tokens and "-" is its own token, "(foo-bar)" and "(foo - bar)" result in the same token stream minus the span information.

You can use proc_macro::Span.line()/column() [1] to track how much whitespace there is between tokens and merge them, but the macro will have to rename them to valid Rust identities ("foo-bar" to "foo_bar") and make sure there's no collisions.

Yes God is a strange loop.
According to Bhagavad Gita. This creation is God's energy and it's part.

So equation is more like this:
God = God + Creation
Or

God + Creation = God.

So everything is part of God but not God at same time.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Buddhists :

During their conquest of Sindh, the Arabs brought the non-Muslims into the category of ahl al-kitab, considering them ahl al-dhimmah (protected subjects) and thus practicing a certain amount of non-interference in their religious lives under the condition that they fulfil a number of obligations that came with this status. Since both Buddhism and Hinduism are literate religions with scriptures, the precedent of assimilating Zoroastrians into the category of ahl al-kitab was extended to them as well. The dhimmis were obligated to pay the jizya for following their ancestral religion. The historian Al-Baladhuri notes a decision by Muhammad bin Qasim in relation to a Buddhist vihara and Aror that after conquering the city through a treaty (sulh) he agreed not to kill the people and enter their temple, in addition to imposing kharaj on them.[29] The Buddhists had petitioned the Arabs for the right to restore one of their temples and it was granted by Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf. However, this decision was later violated by the Pact of Umar and subsequent Muslim law codes which prohibited the restoration of existing non-Muslim religious structures as well as the building of new ones. Despite this fact, Buddhist inscriptions were still being recorded in the eleventh century.[28] Some Buddhists also fled and emigrated from Muslim-ruled areas into other regions. Unlike Brahmanical worship, Buddhism rapidly declined in Sindh after the eighth century and it virtually disappeared by the eleventh century.
Interesting part if you check CoT output, the way it solved: it said the pattern is to make number of filled cells even in each row with neat layout, which is interesting side effect, but not what task was about.

The folks who maintain system-level package managers (apt, rpm, etc.) love to equivocate their stuff with language-level package/dependency managers.

But the folks who maintain language-level package/dependency managers essentially never reference system-level package manager stuff.

Which makes sense. They're categorically different things. System-level package maintainers are, often, stuck in an anachronistic model of software delivery.

The company I'm at is a well funded startup that doesn't receive a humongous traffic at all. Yet, the so-called engineers in the early days ended up deciding to split every little functionality into a microservice.

Now we have 20+ microservices that are setup together in a fucked up way. Today, every engineer out of our 150+ engineering team struggles with implementing and getting trivial stuff over the finish line.

Many tasks require making code changes in multiple codebases and there are way too many moving parts. The knowledge overhead required to setup and test shit locally is too high as well. And the documentation gets so obsolete so quickly and people spend an obscene amount of time reaching out to other teams and running in circles to get unblocked on things. Our productivity would literally 5x if we just had 3 or 4 services overall. Even 1 giant service with clear abstraction between teams would have worked well, actually.

Yet, for the flashiness and to keep sounding cool, the folks at our company still keep living with the pain. As an IC, I just fucking do my work 5 hours each day and just keep reminding myself to ignore whatever horrors I keep seeing. Seems to keep going well.
And non-stolen iPhones. /s ;-)
Wireless microphones used by newsies or other production types used a frequency range that was deprecated. Your gear didn't just magically stop working. The places you were allowed to use it got really small. When a crew works an event like a sporting event, all wireless devices and their frequency must be logged to prevent competing signals between crews. If you show up with the old stuff, you're pretty much laughed out of the room and denied use of the gear. At less regulated places, your use of the equipment will just be subject to interference from other signals that are now using the bands. If your use causes interference, you can be subject to appropriate penalties
Afaik, they do have similar systems. I had to bypass the Samsung lock on my FIL's old phone, thankfully it was a phone that was possible to bypass because he didn't know his samsung account password (and didn't know he had one) and wasn't getting the reset mails either.
I've had the exact same NAS for over 15 years. It's had 5 hard drives replaced, 2 new enclosures and 1 new power supply, but it's still as good as new...
All packetized traffic is digital. What’s your point? Regardless of the implementation, anything that would require all other traffic to back off (ie not transmit) every 1ms would break most wireless things.
Specifically, he's not just investing in startups, but investing in ones that have a factor that is either unknown or unknowable. That's a different strategy from YC's "Invest in promising founders" or the typical VC "Invest in early stage startups with good metrics".

Using power creates heat. Thermal cycles are never good. Heating parts up and cooling them down often reduces their life.
To factor a number of n bits or smaller, you need n + t qubits. The larger the t the less time you take to find a solution, and if I remember correctly t has to be O(n).

I assume in the article, they are giving estimates with tricks.
This is completely dependant on access frequency. Do you have a bunch of different people accessing many files frequently? Are you doing frequent backups?

If so then yes, keeping them spinning may help improve lifespan by reducing frequent disk jerk. This is really only applicable when you're at a pretty consistent high load and you're trying to prevent your disks from spinning up and down every few minutes or something.

For a homelab, you're probably wasting way more money in electricity than you are saving in disk maintenance by leaving your disks spin.

OpenAI Strawberry vs. Herbie
Fully agreed. The rentiers have squeezed all the juice they can, and never understood what was amazing about personal computing in the first place.

(nb. I am casting no aspersions at the author of the letter; I know nothing about him. Just sharing frustration at what has happened to the industry over the years.)
I kind of have a feeling that you, the author, and a lot of people on here don't really know what a strange loop is. It's inherently just self modifying code. Or, instruction and data mixed, if you like. That's it. There's nothing to do with magic or consciousness involved. Except that it's Hofstadter's explanation for why consciousness does not exist.
This is just copyright infringement reworded to pretend it's not. I own the things I write, and publishing it on the internet doesn't negate that. OpenAI doesn't have the right to claim it, no matter what they think, and neither does anyone else.
> But year, they don't even have ANC, they are just a good pair of buds, the 10h claim is good.

Are you talking about the ones I linked to? They clearly have ANC, and Wirecutter claims it's among the better ANCs they've tested.

> 10 hours is exceptionally high, i don't think i even seen that claim

The claim is right there in the product description. Wirecutter also confirmed it with a test:

https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-wireless-ear...

They do say it can be reduced depending on how you use it.

Finally, here's a snippet of an Amazon review:

> I just played 7 hours of continous music with the noise canceling activated at high volumes and there's still almost 30 percent battery avaliable.

And another:

> I used the earbuds for 8 hours between ANC & transparency mode, ... Considering how often I use the earbuds after 8-10 hrs per day and 4-5 days of use from a full charge, the battery life is still 2 lights remaining.

One review does state lower life with ANC:

> But, a full charge only lasts me 6 hrs with anc on auto and volume at 50% or less.

A few reviews talk about even lower battery life, but given Wirecutter's tests and the preponderance of those who get long battery lifes, I'll assume the exceptions are defective products.

In any case, is ANC even relevant for hearing aids? I would have thought ANC would be a hindrance.

(In general, several reviews refer to using it continuously for their work shift).

The one thing that may not be particularly good is the mic.

Edit: Here is someone who tested with ANC on. They got 7hr 55 min:
