The CEO of that company that sold rides on an unsafe submersible to view the wreck of the Titanic (namely Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate, which killed 5 people when the submersible imploded) responded to concerns about the safety of his operation by claiming that the critics were motivated by a desire to protect the established players in the underwater-tourism industry from competition.

The point is that some companies are actually reckless (and also that some users of powerful technology are reckless).
We need a vintage data/handmade data service. A service that can provide text and images for training that are guaranteed to have either been produced by a human or produced before 2021.

Someone should start scanning all those microfiche archives in local libraries and sell the data.
Funny reply. But consider that making twitter posts audible and experiencing the full rage is fundamentally different from starting with audio first.

The reason I say that is because I have frequently seen the same people who rage in text based media, have a very civil, even productive conversations on video (possibly because the human element is more obvious).

There is an open field out there for better functioning discussion sites, maybe audio/video micro-conversations could play a role (auto-transcribed as text is easier to skim and focus on chosen parts).
The comparison with mathematics also makes sense here. It’s much easier to spot typos in other peoples’ work than your own for exactly that reason: when you read back what you wrote, you read back what you meant to write rather than what’s actually there.

Open any textbook (even a fourth edition of a famous one, written by an expert) and you’ll find countless typos. In fact, in a certain sense, the more expert you are the less suitable you are as a proof reader for such books.

Remember the Harvard student that emailed in a bomb threat via Tor to get out of a final exam in 2013?

He got caught not by the FBI breaking Tor, but just by network analysis of university network traffic logs showing a very narrow list of on-campus people using Tor at the time the threat was communicated. He quickly confessed when interviewed.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/files/2013/1...

Just another factor to consider when using Tor - who's network you're on.

I can confirm this. All Google container registries, including the official k8s repos are unaccessible via some hetzner ipv4 domains.

There is a GitHub issue that also covers the problem and it states you should report thos IPS to their support. I did but support says they can't do anything until the ip region list is updated.

IPv6 as a workaround is also difficult because some of the image I need are on GitHub and they are still not ipv6 accessible
"traditional" patents (mechanical, chemical, electrical, biological) should be separated from software.

The former have some claim to validity under the law, sometimes. The latter: almost never. That's at the root of the problem.
> If it is (apparently) easy for humans to tell when content is AI-generated slop

It's actually not. It's rather difficult for humans as well. We can see verbose text that is confused and call it AI, but it could just be a human aswell.

To borrow an older model training method, "Generative adversarial network". If we can distinguish AI from humans... We can use it to improve AI and close the gap.

So, it becomes an arms race that constantly evolves.
Which brings up an interesting question of it someone in the US on a work visa is permitted to participate in a work stoppage. Would going on strike be considered a period of unemployment that puts them on the clock for getting deported?
1. It's fun. Playing with these technologies is entertaining and will learn you some good stuff about the networking and the encryption and what not.

2. Tor allows reception of unsolicited TCP/IPv4 traffic if you are behind a NAT you can't open ports for, because your connection to the network is initiated on your side. This is nice, especially with increasing prevalence of CGNAT.

3. Something my niece stated when I talked to her about it, who I disagree with: Many countries have a notion of upstanding citizen enforced by well funded and maintained violence-monopoly actors (R) that are not equivalent to what the majority of citizens actually do (S). R minus S is T - the tolerance gap. Things that allow T to exist include lack of will to prosecute, general social acceptance of things that were not acceptable years ago, etc. All things that are quite mutable. If your activities fall into T, privacy-enforcement tech benefits you if R and S might change in the future.

FWIW I am firmly in the "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" camp and I looked at her funny when she said this. Maybe she is a criminal or just crazy, idk.

"This is good enough because I don't expect anyone other than me will use it" is lazy

What would happen if you connected to your mail client today and you got prompted "Trust this certificate?" showing a certificate with the same subject as the one you generated? Most people would click trust and get MITM'ed

Allowing self signed certificates significantly lowers the bar when it comes to generating a new certificate which can closely resemble an existing certificate

Beyond that, the management of multiple trusted certificates creates all sorts of room for confusion in an environment. Presumably most services that you run, run over TLS, do you really maintain every certificate both on it's application and on everything which needs to connect to it? That's a huge amount more effort than signing all your PKI with an internal CA, the configuring your connecting applications to trust that CA
> (As I understand it, every reputable Ph.D.-granting institution requires the candidate to do a literature search to demonstrate novelty.)

It is also worse than that, because for most dissertations, your committee is generally going to be more widely-read than the candidate, and have discussed the topic with them for years. Although the candidate may have more specific knowledge by the time they are finished writing the dissertation, the committee is going to have much broader knowledge of the field in general, and is pretty likely to be aware of the relevant prior art anyway.

A closer analogy would be saying the Ph.D candidate must be issued the degree unless a randomly chosen undergraduate can show the research wasn't sufficiently novel.
> Imagine if we recruited professors not just for their academic credentials but for their real-world achievements.

The mistake is to think that someone's world is more "real" than their neighbor's. That may be arguably true if we talk about farmers or fishermen, but it's much less clear that an entrepreneur's world is more "real" than a university professor's.
bad summary. it prompted you to accept the certificate upon first use and then pinned it which is far different than what you are describing in terms of security implications.
AFAIK v2 has stopped working. Iirc were up to v3 or something.
It's not that you're trusting your own certificate, it's that you're trusting any self-signed certificate, leaving you open to getting MITM'ed.
It really make me think. If LI was just business profile, jobs board, and chat with recruiters, how much engineering would they need? I’m not saying to go Twitter mode and fire everybody, but certainly much less than now. So for that extra revenue from the feed, a lot of it will be eaten up by salaries for extra engineers. All of the extra work is going towards something largely viewed as useless.

Zooming out, I bet a lot of the economy is like this. In LI’s case literally some of the smartest people, people with PhDs who were maybe even born in another country, thinking for 40 hours a week about how to rank one piece of meaningless drivel above another one. This is instead of solving real, tangible problems that everyone can see. Ok maybe those people will pay taxes and end up contributing to something like education because they have to, but it’s a pretty inefficient way of making the world better.

How does that matter, though? You're complaining that macOS is different from Linux. That's the salient point. And, duh: they're different OSes. macOS is just as different from Linux as any other OS out there is. And macOS is closer to Linux than some (like Windows).

You initially said, seemingly implying this was a "false cool thing":

> Developers wax poetic about 'oh its a UNIX'

I don't think they meant what you think they meant by that. When people said that (back in the early '00s), people were familiar with Linux, yes, but they also interacted with several other commercial UNIXes that were still in wide use at the time (like those mentioned by the GP), as well as the BSDs. Being able to treat macOS like a UNIX (or, more specifically, like a BSD) was a big step up in convenience from Mac OS Classic.

No one expected macOS to be like Linux, at least not in the ways you are talking about.
As much of an EV enthusiast as I am, I tell people that if they can't charge at home, don't get an EV.

I'm in a similar boat, my electricity is I think 11 cents/kWh. $8.25 to completely charge my battery, which will then get me ~250 miles. The cost-per-mile is equivalent to getting over 125 mpg.
Auto brewer gut syndrome and goldfish crackers
So I've been having mysterious headaches and I don't know why. The cause may be auto brewer gut syndrome where your gut creates ethanol. Pure boost energy drinks and goldfish crackers may both be contributing factors - ones a fizzy drink mix and the other has yeast extract. Does anyone know the solution?
Exactly. As long as OpenAI keeps putting the world's most advanced AI into my hands I will accept that they are open - in some sense. Maybe things would have always been like this, maybe if OpenAI didn't exist Google and the other actors would still publish Claude, Gemini etc. But in this world it was OpenAI that really set the framework that this process of developing AI happens in the public eyes right now. GPT-2, GPT-3 with APIs, Dalle, ChatGPT, GPT-4, now o1 and soon to be voice mode. OpenAI ensured that these aren't just secret toys of Deepmind researchers or something.
I imagine most exit nodes are likely controlled by the US government and/or its close allies. Who else wants to have their IP address banned from most of the internet and potentially get visits from their country's equivalent of the FBI?

If most Tor users ran exit nodes and most people used Tor, it would effectively make internet traffic anonymous. But without those network effects, it is vulnerable by design to deanonymization attacks by state actors.
I completely disagree.

It's possible to write code so succinct that making it more verbose would make it more understandable.

But overly verbose code is far, far more common. And having a naturally succinct language does not stop you from keeping your code verbose. Just gives you more ways to make your code succinct that aren't possible in non-succinct languages.

(Not this is orthogonal to weaker or stronger compile time type systems. Type systems that catch more errors at compile time are very useful. But some strongly compile-time typed languages are still quite succinct.)

> You can magnify the effect of a powerful language by using a style called bottom-up programming where you write programs in multiple layers, the lower ones acting as programming languages for those above. If you do this right, you only have to keep the topmost layer in your head.

If your threat model includes western nation states, there are much bigger threats to your opsec than Tor. If your threat model does not include western nation states, Tor is safe to use.
Hezbollah Has launched thousands of missiles into civilian populations and has already caused the desertion of over 25% of the livable sections of the country. Lately, their weapons are getting better at avoiding the "Iron Dome"; just last week a missile hit an apartment building. A massive bombing plot was foiled this week. They have been getting more and more aggressive.

I would think that moves like these, primarily affect fighters, destroy the comms structure which is used to wage war (Hezbollah have their own communications system in addition to Lebanon's), and damage the "Hezbollah Elite" image which causes them to be such a power.

Would bombing Lebanon be a better than what they have done? I think much worse on all counts.

I am genuinely curious when I see blanket criticism. How would you respond if you were in Israel's shoes?
Terrestrial mobile phones are unreliable in that corner of the world. This will force top commanders to go back to using their Thuraya satellite handsets.

These handsets do not work without reporting their GNSS position (in cleartext) to the network, and they do not work indoors. This is exactly what you want your adversary to use when you have drones and a mature SIGINT capability.

That's IMHO what OOP (as understood in Java world) tends to evolve to...
That's a good point: the greatest value that we can glean from one another is likely not epistemological "facts about the world", nor is it even the predictive models seen in science and higher brow social commentary, but in patterns of thinking. That alone is the infinite wellspring for achieving greater understanding, whether formalized with the scientific method or whether more loosely leveraged to succeed with a business endeavor.

Anecdotally, I met success in prompting GPT-3 to "mimic Stephen Pinker" when solving logical puzzles. Puzzles that it would initially fail, it would succeed attempting to mimic his language. GPT-3 seemed to have grokked the pattern of how Stephen Pinker thinks through problems, and it could leverage those patterns to improve its own reasoning. OpenAI o1 needs no such assistance, and I expect that o2 will fully supplant humans with its ability to reason.

It follows that all that we have to offer with our brightest minds will be exhausted, and we will be eclipsed in every conceivable way by our creation. It will mark the end of the Anthropocene; something that likely exceeds the headiest of Nick Bostom speculations will take its place.

It seems that this is coming in 2026 if not sooner, and Alignment is the only thing that ought occupy our minds: the question of whether we're creating something that will save us from ourselves, or whether all that we've built will culminate in something gross and final.

Looking around myself, however, I see impassioned "discourse" about immigration. The merits of DEI. Patriotism. Transgenderism. Religion. Copyright. Vast herds of dinosaurs preying upon one another, giving only idle attention to the glowing object in the sky. Is it an asteroid? Is it a UFO that is coming down to provide dinosaur healthcare? Nope, not even that level of thought is mustered. With 8 billion people on the planet, Utopia by Nick Bostrom hasn't even mustered 100 reviews on Amazon. On the advent of the defining moment of the universe itself, when virtually all that is imaginable is unlocked for us, our species' heads remains buried in the mud, gnawing at one another's filthy toes, and I'm alienated and disgusted.

The only glints of beauty I see in my fellow man are in those with minds which exceed a certain IQ threshold and cognitive flexibility, as well as in lesser minds which exhibit gentleness and humility. There is beauty there, and there is beauty in the staggering possibility of the universe itself. The rest is at best entomology, and I won't mourn its passing.
Which is plainly stupid.

They should interpret the law to mean "We will treat every request from Iran as a non-paying customer, and won't offer anything outside the free-tier"

Even if that isn't the way was written, it is plain that it falls within the intent of the law, and is beneficial to US businesses.

> It's far too early for anyone to know that with certainty. And (for what feels like the nth time), Hezbollah is not just a bunch of guys with weapons, it's the civil administration in large parts of the country.

Sure. Could be those pagers also went to civil Hezbollah administrators. It doesn't seem likely to me, given what we've seen so far. E.g. it's been two days, surely we'd have heard of the many innocent civilians with pagers blowing up; I've heard that, but only as speculation, with no concrete evidence that's happened, except for a few tragic cases of innocent bystanders getting hurt.

Also, it's fairly likely that beepers for the military wing of Hezbollah are kept separate from civilian Hezbollah administrators.

Of course, I come at this from a more trusting-of-Israel place than others. But we don't have to jump to conclusions - we can just wait a few more days as more details emerge.

> Also if the situation were reversed and Hezbollah carried out an attack like this on the IDF, I really doubt the Israelis would just suck it up and say 'oh well occupational hazard of military life, guess we'll retaliate somehow.'

I mean, what would Israelis do instead of retaliating? You're talking as if Hezbollah isn't constantly trying attempting to inflict damage on Israel. Hezbollah declared war on Israel, and has been firing rockets at Israel for the last almost year, causing several deaths, massive property and environmental damage, and the internal displacement of almost 100k Israelis.
> That’s what made Tupperware unique when it was founded.

I suppose they were making a unique product, but it was the grassroots marketing that made them a standout and a household name.

I believe that those suburban home-based "parties" bridged the gap between door-to-door salesmen and catalog/online sales.

In my neighborhood, "Tupperware parties" were not stigmatized or dreaded, but just seemed like a fun way to pick up some durable modern containers.
Generally apps like Fiddler generate their own cert which you load onto the device and accept. My understanding is this allows it intercept and re-write requests. When you do this, apps using cert. pinning will sniff out your "wrong" cert. and stop working.
I'm not so sure. It certainly shook Hezbollah and no doubt some of the dead or seriously injured held sufficiently important jobs within the organization to cause problems.

On the other hand you now have a few thousand people who suffered unpleasant but not debilitating injuries who are now sadder, wiser, and very very pissed off. My impression is that many of those attacked could have been middle managers or mid-ranking officers. They're now veterans of a traumatizing national event, which will probably increase Hezbollah's standing among the general populace.

(The notion of Hezbollah as a mob of ak-47 wielding foot soldiers is a stereotype from movies and TV that seems to have taken root among many HN readers.)

There are definitely some parallels between Cerebrium and paperspace, but I don't think they are a direct competitor. The biggest difference being that paperspace doesn't have a serverless offering afaik.

This is misleading at best. There are rules you must follow to do this legally and OAI's structure violates some of them and is under scrutiny from the IRS so their new plan is for the non-profit to completely sell off the subsidiary and then die or go into "maintenance mode" with the new fully commercial subsidiary carrying the ball (and the team) forward to riches.

I considered things like this as an original Mozilla person back in the day. Mozilla could have sold the Firefox organization or the whole corporation for billions when it had 30% of the web, but that would have been a huge violation o of trust so it was never even on the table.

Even if Hamas hadn't eliminated the anti-semitic language from their charter in 2007, that argument would require one to accept that preventatively mass murdering whole families and generations of children is a moral means of dealing with a political opponent.

Options? Israel (the people anyway) has always had the option of finally dropping the ethno-nationalism and apartheid of their foundational principles, and accepting that the Palestinians have a way more material right to Palestinian territory than an American or a European who Israel brought over on a birthright trip.
