I feel the same way. I'm grateful to Meta for releasing libre models, but I also understand that this is simply because they're second in the AI race. The winner always plays dirty, the underdog always plays nice.
I'll ask the inverse: if Tor is unsafe, who benefits from telling you to use it?
Wonder what has replaced “Xkeyscore” given the wide adoption of TLS. I know ISPs, especially national ISPs like AT&T (see: titanpointe - 33 thomas st, nyc) would feed data to NSA since traffic at the time was mostly via http (rather than https). I suppose the unencrypted dns queries are still useful (although DNSSEC is supposed to defend against snooping/deep packet inspection)
The is true today. However EVs are becoming more common and chargers are being built. In a few years chargers will be more common and have to compete on price. Today Tesla can get away with charging more to some customers - those people will figure it out though and eventually they will have enough options that they can go elsewhere. It is hard enough to brand gasoline (you can have a brand specific additive package most don't but they do exist) electrons are even more identical.
Tor Project has a team that looks at relays and checks if relays are engaging in bad practices or any suspicious activity like a lot of nodes run by one operator.

Show HN: Shadowvane: A Soulslike MMO (Built in Node/Three.js)
Shadowvane is one of the biggest, most difficult projects I've ever done in JavaScript. It's a Node/Socket.io backend and Three.js front-end (custom engine).

The goal was to create a fully functional 3D MMO like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV - complete with queuing for arenas, battlegrounds, and instanced dungeons, but with the aesthetics of Bloodborne and other Soulslikes. As someone who grew up playing MMOs like Tibia, WoW, Final Fantasy 11/14, and GW2, I've always wanted to create an immersive 3D MMO.

A number of years ago I released a 2D browser MMO (who didn't) but it didn't quite scratch the itch. Just bringing this v0 to market felt like lifting a weight - something I've always wanted to do.

Building an MMO is a huge undertaking of diverse tasks: Music/sound, 3D modeling, networking, vector math, painting, UI, and more. Shadowvane still needs a little polish in some areas - so I'm calling this release "Open Alpha" until I'm able to make it truly look and feel like a AAA game.

-----

Shadowvane is a Soulslike MMORPG with a 1v1 PvP Arena, 5v5 Battleground, and an Open World realm where players can interact and advance their character.

Players can compete in either a 5v5 PvP match in a hellish city called Pandemonium, or a 1v1 PvP arena in The Mists.

PvE objectives are completed in Afterworld — an open world realm where players and demons alike roam free.

Build your character from a player template called a prototype. Unlock new prototypes in Afterworld to experience different play styles.

Does it support more of literate programming than the small amount of features, that normal Jupyter notebook supports?

I always wish they would take a hint from Emacs org mode and make notebooks more useful for development.
I think Harper is very cool, and you should sell it better. It's a local-only low latency & static (no Python) LanguageTool alternative. It doesn't use a large language model.
Yes, there aren’t that many tor nodes. It’s not the safe haven protocol or transport suite people make it out to be.

How's it free if it's not available in the Home edition of Windows?

In fact it's pretty much the only difference between Home and Professional editions of Windows these days, so I'd price it as the difference between the two (about $60).
Also, while I'm at it, I'd suggest maybe putting an hour or two of research into how to make content… exciting? I know you're a dentist and a software engineer, not a YouTuber, but it's worth looking up a bit about what YouTubers and entertainers know about how to hold an audience's attention. Just a few small changes can probably result in a 1.5-3x improvement in the number of people who make it to the end of a video.
I once submitted an RFP response for what was literally a CRUD app for a government agency. Medium-ish (to me) traffic. Needed to be rock-solid. Needed to be developed to spec, hosted, and supported (including tech support) for 5 years. I bid a little over $2million (I personally would have made about $500k of that). After a bit, the RFP was withdrawn and given to a sole-source provider for $100million, with the excuse that it was so complicated (HN would laugh at this if you saw the spec) that only one company could do it. So, that company gets it. Outsources everything to contractors in Pakistan. Site is constantly glitchy. And this next part is not a lie (and was def. not part of the spec) -- it only worked during business hours (m-f, 8am-5pm)! However the users of the site had to do work every day due to legal deadline requirements. They just had to set on the data until the next workday morning. I suspect that the provider spent about $1million or less for the entire contract and just kept the rest. So that is how govt. contracts can go.

Sometimes I wonder wtf y'all are doing with such crazy security expectations and paranoia.
Amazon not being on the hook for severance for a large percentage of high salary workers, plus not having them on payroll/benefits for the weeks/months it would take to transition them out via PIP (including the management overhead involved per staffer) usually adds up to just about enough in savings to go out and recruit fresh, RTO-willing, naive talent much sooner.

Yes when I used to talk about this to interviewees, I described that every tool people commonly use is somewhere on the Big-O curves for scaling. Most of the time we don't really care if a tool is O(n) or O(10 n) or whatever.

At Meta, N tends to be hundreds of billions to hundreds of trillions.

So your algorithm REALLY matters. And git has a Big-O that is worse than Mercurial, so we had to switch.
Sometimes I wonder if you framed it differently would it be more appealing to tech workers. Like if there was a startup that negotiates on behalf of employees for salary, benefits, remote vs in-office, etc. using collective influence as more people from a particular company used it. Or to put it another way, how much of the distaste for unions is wrapped up in the term “union”?

> Israel paid an American lawyer for advice on how best to skirt some pesky American laws.

Pesky American laws? You mean the law meant to prevent unknown foreign influence in our country? That’s what you describe as pesky?

> By the low, low moral standards of American politics and corporations, it doesn't sound like Israel did anything particularly bad. And they even seem to have cared about being (just barely) on the right side of the law!

I’m not sure how one can interpret hiring lawyers for the sole purpose of figuring out how to evade our laws shows that they cared about being on the right side of the law. If they cared about being on the right side of the law, they’d have simply registered as foreign agents, as the law requires them to. According to the leaked emails, Liat Glazer, then a legal advisor to Israel’s Ministry of Strategic Affairs, worked to hide the Israeli government’s hiring of Sandler Reiff, the American law firm they engaged to help them figure out how to evade the law [0].

Sorry, my bad. Its actually 5, not 8.

https://lawandsocietymagazine.com/how-palestine-rejected-off...

1st Rejection - The suggested split was heavily in favor of the Arabs. The British offered them 80% of the disputed territory, the Jews the remaining 20%. Yet, despite the tiny size of their proposed state, the Jews voted to accept this offer. But the Arabs rejected it and resumed their violent rebellion.

2nd Rejection - Ten years later, in 1947, the British asked the United Nations to find a new solution to the continuing tensions. Like the Peal Commission, the UN decided that the best way to resolve the conflict was to divide the land. In November 1947, the UN voted to create two states. Again, the Jews accepted the offer and again, the Arabs rejected it.
Only this time, they did so by launching an all-out war. Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria joined the conflict. But they failed. Israel won the war and got on with the business of building a new nation. Most of the land set aside by the UN for an Arab state, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, became occupied territory. Occupied not by Israel, but by Jordan.

3rd Rejection - 20 years later, in 1967, the Arabs led this time by Egypt and joined by Syria and Jordan, once again sought to destroy the Jewish state. The 1967 conflict, known as the Six-Day War, ended in a stunning victory for Israel. Jerusalem and the West Bank, as well as the area known as the Gaza Strip, fell into Israel’s hands.
The government split over what to do with this new territory. Half wanted to return the West Bank to Jordan and Gaza to Egypt in exchange for peace. The other half wanted to give it to the region’s Arabs, who had begun referring to themselves as the Palestinians, in the hope that they would ultimately build their own state there.
Neither initiative got very far.
A few months later, the Arab League met in Sudan and issued its infamous three-NOs, no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel. Again, a two-state solution was dismissed by the Arabs.

4th Rejection - In 2000, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak met at Camp David, with Palestinian Liberation Organization Chairman Nasser Arafat, to conclude a new two-state plan. Barak offered Arafat a Palestinian state in all of Gaza, and 94% of the West Bank, with East Jerusalem as its capital. But the Palestinian leader rejected the offer.
In the words of U.S. President Bill Clinton, “Arafat was here 14 days and said no to everything.”
Instead, the Palestinians launched a bloody wave of suicide bombings that killed over 1,000 Israelis and maimed thousands more, on buses, in wedding halls, and in pizza parlors.

5th Rejection - In 2008, Israel tried yet again. Prime Minister Ehud Omar went even further than Ehud Barak had, expanding the peace offer to include additional land to sweeten the deal. Like his predecessor, the new Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, turned the deal down.
That doesn't seem correct. Israel's enemies are not justified for attacking Israel even if the majority of their "citizens" are military reservists during wartime. If we want to play the non-combatant tally game, then a strike on Israel becomes deeply justified as an attack on an entrenched dual-purpose position.

...but that's ridiculous, and we should apply the same standards of morality to our enemy even when they refuse to cooperate. Lebanon is not and cannot be treated as a zone including nothing but combatants, and neither can Israel. By crossing the line of terrorism (make no mistake: they were aware of the threat to civilians), Israel is further damaging international support and again blurring the lines between the IDF and their enemies. The UN just convened to tell Israel to renounce their occupied territories in the next year - the days of "lawn-mowing" civilian infrastructure without criticism have passed.

If we keep seeing the Dahiya doctrine and Hannibal directive proliferate, there will be no way for a morally defensible US administration to support IDF operations.
Pretending that successfully managing investments during 40+ years of working life so as to provide a reasonably comfortable requirement just requires "a little bit of math" is disingenuous in the extreme.

I guess it depends on the kind of work. But are there people who really spend all their time in the office continually doing work?

I spend some time pottering about and doing chores during the workday when I wfh. But I also spend lots of time goofing off while at the office. The difference is that while at the office, I have to be constantly vigilant about how I'm perceived by others, so time spend goofing off isn't nearly as rejuvenating and reinvigorating as it would have been at home.

Isn't it pretty normal to only have a few hours of real-work capability per day?
then we agree. personally i find the kind of terrorism associated with Christian Nationalism to pose more of an existential threat since i'm in the US and am exposed to a lot of it. despite that, i don't conflate christianity with terrorism.

the person i responded to thinks that Islam has a causal relationship with terrorism - what about the ideology leads you to believe that, besides the fact that the media you consume reports on it more often?

Union-busting campaigns are extremely effective, and honestly labor unions have gotten very lazy about building new units.

>Is accidentally stumbling across the unknown a key part of science?

Also the hands.

So many of the unexpected findings are not because of the exact direction of the experimentation, but a result of incessant experimentation itself, for which it can be accepted from the beginning that over 99% will not be useful other than compounding your own ability to experiment. Within the limitations of your resources naturally.

Heck, you can work for years and improve your ability 10X over a decade and still not have a breakthrough in a well-targeted effort.

But the more you do experiment, the more you're bound to come up with something.

The uncommon part is having any momentum at all on anything non-targeted that comes up.

Lots of the time, unexpected findings can be show-stoppers that must be worked around, sometimes with the utmost creativity in unconventional ways, before progress can be resumed on the designated project.

This can be like an emergency situation, but some of the same talents needed for it could be similarly put to use judiciously building momentum from scratch from potentially worthwhile tangents, without compromising the projected progress of the primary endeavor.

On "retooling SAP": SAP deliver their systems with all source code and dev platform included, and that may help convince some customers to go for SAP.

However, those that embark on deviating from the well-trodden path are going to be in trouble soon: after every update, potential changes made need to be re-done or edited or at least tested. So as the parent suggests it's really better to adjust the business process if you can.

Depends on details. Monsanto doesn't worry about seeds on the wind. The cases I've read have come down to the fact that they escaped to someone who was trying to take those genetics. The farmer planted next to a round-up ready field, and then saved seeds - this would have been fine except the farmer then used those seeds and sprayed round-up which ensured all the plants without the round-up ready genes died and his next batch of seeds was all round-up ready. If the farmer had just used all the seeds without round-up Monsanto wouldn't have cared - at least so far as we have evidence, but then of course the farmer lacks the benefits of those genes.
You're right, it may have been a bit premature. Open source is the end goal, and we're not there yet. If anything, was hoping to get some motivation to make it happen quicker.

Tor was literally developed by the intelligence community. I’m sure there are a variety of means to gather actionable intelligence from it, with or without the cooperation of the exit node volunteers.

Jina Embeddings V3: A Frontier Multilingual Embedding Model
I've been developing a biofeedback stress relief project that incorporates Spotify playlists, and as part of this work, I explored webcam-based heart rate detection as a potential data source. While not perfect, the results were notably more accurate than any other web demos I've come across.

The technique analyzes subtle color changes in the user's fingertip when placed over the webcam, correlating those variations with heartbeats. It's a simple yet effective approach that only uses basic image processing.

I've documented the method and shared the code in a Google Doc (link in the top right of the demo page) for those interested in experimenting or improving the algorithm. I'm particularly keen on suggestions for enhancing reliability or any general feedback on the approach.

Has anyone here explored similar techniques or have insights they could share? I'm curious about potential applications or improvements others may have discovered in this area.

Cheers! :)

It’s then best we’ve got for achieving actually meaningful privacy and anonymity. It has a huge body of research behind it that is regularly ignored by those coming up with sexy or off-the-cuff alternatives.

Yeah, it would be like writing python to count how many vertical pen-strokes are in a string of byte-characters. To an eye, you can just scan and count the vertical lines. Python sees ASCII or UTF data, not lines, so that would be super difficult, analogous to a token-based system not seeing byte-chars.
It's rude to completely ignore the very reasonable argument someone brought up. The illegality of the West Bank settlements is not a new issue and long predates the latest round of military conflict.

I've seen bittensor before. I think it makes sense, as a way to incentivise people to rent their GPUs, without relying on a central platform. But I've always felt it was kind of a scam because it was so hard to find any guides on how to use it.

Also, this doesn't seem to actually solve the issue of fine tuners needing funding to rent those GPUs? One alternative is something like AI Horde, which pays GPU providers with "labour vouchers" that allow them to get priority next time they want GPU. Requires a central platform to track vouchers and ban those who exchange them. Basically a sort of real-life comparison of mutualism (AI Horde) vs capitalism (bittensor).
