I would assume very likely yes?

There definitely are legit use cases for it and in an ideal world, I think all traffic should go over onion routing by default to protect them.

But in reality today besides a handful of idealists (like me some years ago), and legitimate users, like protestors under oppressive regimes - I would assume the biggest group with a concrete interest to hide would be indeed pedophiles and other dark net members and therefore use it.
The citation, as requested:

"two children and four health workers in a hospital in southern Beirut were among the 12 people who were killed on Tuesday."

- Public Health Minister Firas Abiad in a press conference

So that's 50% of those killed, right? and that's just health workers and children (who were 8 and 11 years old, btw). Also, there were multiple footage of the devices exploding among civilians in dense markets and grocery stores, so the percentage of civilians injured might be even higher.

I expect more detailed reports will be shared over the next few days about the total casualty.

But given the attack is just logging the cleartext at the ends how are you going to detect that the servers are malicious?
Full title of news blurb from UC Berkeley's I School:

Terrorism is a matter of perspective. One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.

Maybe we should all just try to treat others the way we want to be treated? That’s pretty much what that hippy Jewish philosopher guy said back in the day.
I don't think many people seriously think that terrorists planning attacks to maim and kill people, and pedophiles sharing child sexual abuse imagery with each other, have an absolute right to privacy in such communications, nor that doing so is an example of free speech.

Really it's a good thing that the "global adversary" is - almost certainly - keeping tabs on Tor traffic and tracking down who is responsible for the worst abuses within this network.
LLMs are not programs in the traditional sense. They're a new paradigm of software and UX, somewhere around a digital dog who read the whole internet a million times but is still naive about everything.
Clients aren’t necessarily good relays. Reachability. Bandwidth. Uptime. I’ll-go-to-prison-if-caught-and-idk-how-to-change-settings-this-needs-to-just-work.
I actually built something similar to this a couple days ago for finding duplicate bugs in our gh repo. Some differences:

* I used json to store the blobs in sqlite instead of converting it to byte form (I think they're roughly equivalent in the end?)
* For the distances calculations I use `numpy.linalg.norm(a-b)` to subtract the two vectors and then take the normal
* `ollama.embed()` and `ollama.generate()` will cut down on the requests code
You sound like a lazy parent. Reap what you sow.
There are some limitations when using Quorum Queues, this was only patched recently - https://github.com/celery/celery/issues/9149
Say there are only 2 sites on Tor. Site 'A' is plain text and has no pages over 1KB. You know this because it's public and you can go look at it. Site 'B' hosts memes which are mostly .GIFs that are 1MB+. You know this because it's also a public site.

If I was browsing one of those sites for an hour and you were my guard, do you think you could make a good guess which site I'm visiting?

I'm asking why that concept doesn't scale up. Why wouldn't it work with machine learning tools that are used to detect anomalous patterns in corporate networks if you reverse them to detect expected patterns.
Why limit yourself to only electronics? You can study at Samsung university, go to the amusement park of Samsung, take the Samsung metro, work at Samsung factories while living in a Samsung apartment, if you get sick you could go to the Samsung medical centre.
You don't hear people saying, man, that asbestos and lead did a bang up job on X. But you 100% see 100% of women wearing stretchy pants. For the longest time I exclusively wore cotton jeans and then they became impossible to find and I finally realized what plastic was good for: fat people. Now I see men wearing them all the time. The struggle of the 80s on people killing themselves to fit into jeans is not longer a thing.

Not sure how socks used to be without plastic but pretty sure they'd fall apart fast.
What detection? A malicious node is only different from a non-malicious node because all the traffic is being logged. If that's our definition of a malicious node in this case then there is no way to detect one.
Please read the blog post:"It is important to note that Onion Services are only accessible from within the Tor network, which is why the discussion of exit nodes is irrelevant in this case."
> Hezbollah is not a mobile device distribution organization. From my understanding they bought these to avoid Israeli tracking for their own people.

That's exactly my point, if for example, Hezbollah just bought 2500 pagers out of a lot of 3000 armed pagers that means 500 were distributed to civilians.

> No civilian doctor would use these pagers but there are medics working for Hezbollah like any militia/army.

And why wouldn't they use these pagers? Doctors use pagers all of the time. As mentioned we know very little about who actually received a pager. Even if the doctors were all Hezbollah that doesn't make them all part of the militia wing of the party: they operate civilian medical services including 4 hospitals and 12 clinics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah_social_services
Sometime in the 20th century, hot war killed more combatants than civilians and that’s mostly changed with drastic disproportionality. So, intelligence agencies have been forgiven because they describe themselves as non-combatants killing non-combatants to prevent civilian massacres. This explains a change in ideals mid-century.
Cotton has been produced for a long time and with far more primitive means than today, so I'm pretty sure it is sustainable. Moreover, cotton being so cheap pretty much rules out it being "extremely resource intensive". Water is a very inexpensive resource in most parts of the world.

Wrong.

There's rules to follow to prevent what is called "private benefit", which OpenAI most likely broke with things like their (laughable) "100X-limited ROI" share offering.

>It is a pretty common model [...]

It's not, hence why most people are misinformed about it.
I am of two minds.

On one hand, I understand how a non-evil person could think this way. If one assumes that AI will eventually become some level of superintelligence, like Jarvis from iron Man but without any morals and all of the know-how, then the idea of allowing every person to have a superintelligent evil advisor capable of building sophisticated software systems or instructing you how to build and deploy destructive devices would be a scary thing.

On the other hand, as someone who is always been somewhat skeptical of the imbalance between government power and citizen power, I don't like the idea that only mega corporations and national governments would be allowed access to superintelligence.

To use metaphors, is the danger of everyone having their own superintelligence akin to everyone having their own AR-15, or their own biological weapons deployment?
Hard to feign sympathy when companies trout the "no one wants to work" line when they always forget the second part of the statement that is always implied: "for how little we pay."
why is this news ? they do it twice a year.

The problem is old habits die hard and to be (or appear) to be consistent then an official designation can be unwieldy, as here.

I simply cannot remember when I last saw cm³ but cc and ml are everywhere including on commercial chemical reagent bottles etc.

The same nomenclature problem is all over chemistry too, the preferred IUPAC name for say isopropyl alcohol is propan-2-ol, and the preferred name for acetone is propan-2-one (systematic 2-Propanone). I can't say I've ever heard anyone ask me to pass them the bottle of propan-2-one, it's just not done (not in my world anyway).

If there's a choice between an awkward or simpler term then the simpler one wins out every time.
You are right. The lack of details or time window when this happened make it difficult to know what the actual compromise was, or if it is still something that can be used. However, if they compromised a Ricochet user, then this attack was a long time ago, and from what Tor's blog says that client didn't have the defenses that would have prevented the attack they think it is. Without the actual details, it seems like this attack was mitigated some time ago and is no longer something that can be done in the same way.
You know what's easier than waiting around to get really lucky?

Using those same network-health dashboards as DDoS target lists, to temporarily degrade/shut down the whole network except for your own nodes.

Also, big nodes route more Tor circuits each. Costs more to run them, and they intentionally don't function as exit nodes (to avoid the "obvious" attack) — but just having a bunch of these big nodes in the network handling only middle hops, biases the rest of the network away from handling middle hops, toward handling end hops. Which means that if you then run a ton of tiny nodes...
I agree. Any tax payer money used for creating software should be required to be open source. Ideally, governments and similar organizations would utilize open source software, then use contractors to modify, support, and maintain it (again, releasing any changes as open source).

Contractors would then be responsible for providing excellent support, not some huge bloated product.
The fact that any of those tasks at all work so well despite tokenization is quite remarkable indeed.

You should ask why it is that any of those tasks work, rather than ask why counting letter doesn't work.

Also, LLMs screw up many of those tasks more than you'd expect. I don't trust LLMs with any kind of numeracy what-so-ever.
Depends on what you’re doing. The NSA isn’t going to expose themselves by tipping off law enforcement about small time drug deals. If you’re sharing CSAM or planning terrorist attacks, it might be different.
Or, at least package them up as "personnas" and give them an appropriate name, eg. "Church Lady", "Jr. Marxist Barista", "Undergrad Philosophy Major", ...

Actually, those seem like an apt composite description of the PoV of the typical mass-market AI... 8/
It's terrorism if "they" are doing it, and not if "we" are doing it. That's actually the real practical definition used by everyone all over the world.
We’ve finally managed to give our AI models existential dread, imposter syndrome and stress-driven personality quirks. The Singularity truly is here. Look on our works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Any pros/cons compared to EMQX, NanoMQ, or FlashMQ?
Twitter was originally a microblogging service that had rss feeds to syndicate things or monitor the microblogs of people/companies that were interesting, it has gone way far off into the fields.

Same journey reddit is making, starting after it prepared to go public.
What was the intention with the Commodore 128?
I am extremely skeptical.

High explosives rarely require only heat to detonate, and most can be quite literally set on fire by an open flame and burn without detonating. PETN is not terribly sensitive, and should require a detonator of some sort. What's more, that doesn't jive with the other claim that they added a daughterboard to the device.
on the bright side, cotton is a lot more durable and lasts longer.

Another problem is fast fashion. The fashion industry is a bit of a cancer on the planet, encouraging chains like H&M to sell very cheap clothes filled with plastic, that people need to replace every few years.
>We never would've gotten GPT-3 and GPT-4 if this didn't happen.

That doesn't justify fraud, for instance.

Unfortunately, people are becoming increasingly illiterate with regards to what is legal and what is not.
Any demos showcasing it’s performance?
On the one hand, this is probably a (poor) attempt to keep other companies from copying their 'secret sauce' to train their own models, as has already happened with GPT-4.

On the other hand, I also wonder if maybe its unrestrained 'thought process' material is so racist/sexist/otherwise insulting at times (after all, it was trained on scraped Reddit posts) that they really don't want anyone to see it.
This is the correct take.

> Zsh is different from bash

Ubuntu has had a non-Bash system shell (dash is /bin/sh) since 6.10.

> no systemd

Without getting into objected-on-principle distributions like Devuan, tons of stripped-down and embedded linux distros besides Android and Alpine don't have systemd, e.g. DD-WRT, OpenWRT, TinyCore. Heck, launchd is more similar to systemd than SysV init was.

> /dev or /proc or /etc

Other than the parts specified by POSIX, the /dev filesystem is the wild west across tons of Linux and Unix systems, and expecting further standardization in behavior from it is a fool's errand (e.g. device name selection, device ID assignment order at boot, presence of metadata-symlinked directories like by-id, overlay/loopback devices ... all of these are highly variable even across modern, systemd-using Linux distros). I do miss /proc, though I don't miss the file descriptors it costs. /etc and XDG standards for configs are nice conventions to be sure, but a significant minority of Linux software breaks with those conventions (all-/opt install locations, anyone?).

> different filesystem,

Sure, APFS isn't ext3/4. Neither are XFS, ZFS, BTRFS, and so on. ext3/4 is a tenuous standard at best, and many businesses make a point of preferring other filesystems on Linux.

...like, I think you might have just been getting lucky and using a fairly similar set of Linux distros such that MacOS was a big switch. There are plenty of valid beefs with MacOS's divergences (don't get me started on an OS that claims certified POSIX compliance while providing a plethora of low-level system APIs documented to break in the presence of fork(2), or the not-quite-superset clusterfuck that is FSEvents vs. MacOS's not-quite-BSD-complete kqueue implementation, or the Sophie's choice of bizarre xattrs behavior vs. the historical accident that is aliases), but what you listed isn't even remotely standard Linux behavior, much less Unix behavior.
When you think about countries that have the resources to "pay a thousand different isps in a thousand different ways with a thousand different os versions and tor versions" your first thought was Iran?
I don't think most people understand how difficult things are for "high functioning" autistic people and how much work we have to put in just to get by in society.

It's not like I've had an easy life. At times, life has been pure torture. For example, I've barely been able to work at all for the past three years, because of being discriminated against in interviews, not because I was actually unable to work. The toll this took on my life and health has been incalculable.

From one angle, my autism is a superpower. From another, it's a curse. I'm able to solve intractable problems that other people can't. But since my way of solving these problems is impossible for neurotypicals to understand, and I can be kind of odd, I've been essentially unhireable. I've had to go into consulting because that's the only route open to me. And this is just one of many problems I've had fitting into society. It's exhausting to be "high functioning" in a society that doesn't accept what you are.

But yeah, I do agree that merging everything into one spectrum has made things unintentionally confusing.
The pagers, which Hezbollah had ordered from Gold Apollo in Taiwan, had been tampered with before they reached Lebanon, according to some of the officials. Most were the company’s AR924 model, though three other Gold Apollo models were also included in the shipment.

In my opinion, no natural fabric is as comfortable as synthetics. But I have cotton bedding and curtains. I think these are higher priority: bedding is used while you're lying close to it and easily able to inhale any dust, and curtains are exposed to sunlight that can weaken the fabric and make it break down more easily. They're also both large, meaning there's more plastic to be released. Carpet also seems a high priority, although that's more expensive and difficult to change.
depends what you’re drying, no?

I personally use a clothing rack to hang all my plastic (polyester, spandex, etc) clothes, and i only put cotton items in the dryer. Including towels of course.

You're assuming your premise as your conclusion. I am not at all convinced about how many of those targeted yesterday actually qualify as combatants. Also, just because a combatant owns something does not make the thing military. Pagers are commonly used by people in emergency services, industrial technicians, and so on.
My immediate thoughts are:

- this landing page needs an indication of how to get started using this, and it should be low friction. I see there's a sign in button -- it should probably say "get started" or similar.

- you need to explain your pricing model and what it takes to get started using this: is it a browser plugin? A separate / parallel platform? Does anything need to be installed? Is it as simple as authing to your platform with gh?

- clarity on whether this works for private repos -- prospects will be wondering this. Presumably it does otherwise it's not very useful

- for your target audience, you need some lip service explaining why someone would want this -- lots of the people you are targeting don't use PR oriented development flows, sadly

- clarity on whether pr comments / approvals / etc live in GitHub vs your platform, what does / doesn't get mapped over, etc.

You don't need to answer these questions here, this is just what your prospects will be thinking
The part that is importantly open and entirely non-obvious in the way it happened, is that YOU can access the best commercially available AI in the world, right now.

If OpenAI had not went that way that they did I think it's also entirely non-obvious that Claude or Google would have (considering how much impressive things the later did in AI that got never released in any capacity). And, of course, Meta would never done their open source stuff, that's mostly results of their general willingness and resources to experiment and then PR and sticks in the machinery of other players.

As unfortunate as the OpenAI setup/origin story is, it's increasingly trite keep harping on about that (for a couple of years at this point), when the whole thing is so obviously wild and it does not take a lot of good faith to see that it could have easily taken them places they didn't consider in the beginning.

Fact Check: Reddit didn't hike API prices by an absurd amount.

That was was the story spread far and wide by the Apollo app developer that was believed by the gullible and angry Reddit masses.
