> There are no such people, at least not in the numbers worth mentioning, in the US (there are in other countries, but curiously you don't care about that at all, do you?)

That is literally a campaign point for multiple candidates. Maybe the problem is you're a delusional bigot.

And guess what, I do care about what happens in those countries as well, but this article is about someone in the US and involves a candidate for US political office. I feel the same way about bigots in other countries, and make the same complaints about them, just not in a context where they aren't relevant.

> The only way one could use them is to commit personal attacks on his person and the persons of his relatives.

You mean the dude, and family, with secret service protection? None of which required this magic dossier.

Also, I looked at that dossier, the overwhelming majority of which was details about his variable political positions and personal history - all of which seem super relevant to a political candidate.

But, I understand, there is much more danger in a leak that happens to include information about where he lives and his family - which are not secret - than calling for criminalization of and violence LGBT people.

> If you want to know what's wrong with the politics today - look at the mirror, it's you and your hate

I'm not the person saying "these people don't have the right to exist", you're trying disingenuous "paradox of tolerance" bs. Claiming the problem is "my hate towards people that deny the rights of others to exist" is classic white surpremacist BS.

Again, I hope no one vulnerable ever needs you for anything, because you're the kind of person who would ask a victim if they've considered the harm that speaking up would do to their abuser.

We don't need to continue this thread. We clearly disagree on some fundamental issues, I think that bigotry has no place in a civil society, and you think I'm an evil hater for not lovingly accepting people's choice to decide who has a right to exist.
Writing vulnerable code is not illegal, negligence is.
Faced with increasing efficiency, Europe by and large appears to have chosen to work less and let expensive things remain expensive. The US, by contrast, now has ridiculously cheap consumer goods, and works all the time.
I don't know if MTV still offer this, but about 10 years ago they still had a service where you could get them to basically burn any show to a DVD for a small cost. I got a bunch of rare shows this way.
If you're using a JetBrains IDE, the AI based autocompletions are powered by super tiny LLMs, each trained on a single language. This allows them to run locally and still product decent results.

For example, the C++ model is really good at writing both OpenGL+GLFW and Raylib.
I also had alarm clock problems in uni. My solution was a Raspberry Pi, a piezoelectric buzzer, and an ultrasonic distance sensor pointed at the bed.

The buzzer would ring until the distance sensor could see the opposite wall, and restart if I went back to bed. As a bonus, it took a few measurements during the night to track sleep quality.

Unfortunately the whole thing was running from a finicky breadboard and needed frequent calibration.

It's also why ProPublica's content niche is so small. They don't cover anything except corruption and abuses of power. No sports, no celebrity news, no news about new movies or music, etc. They can't afford more, and their charter doesn't allow it anyway.

This is where artifact binding can greatly increase the security….

Browser sends artifact to RP, RP fetches assertion from IdP via HTTPs, afterwards verifies the signature.

Signature verification is not implemented correctly? The attacker still needs to break HTTPS…. And then you would have a big problem anyway.
> I also like how you quoted snide and petulant as if disagreeing

Not at all. I consistently use double quotes for exact quotes, and single quotes for such emphasis.

I mostly agree to your original post about dumb communication and not wanting to do business like that. But I don't follow your conclusion at all that 'the other party' therefore seems more reasonable.

> extortion

> blackmail

Again, not sure about the details in this case or Wordpress, but businesses are generally allowed to withhold services or (threaten to) make (true) statements that put their competitors in bad light. Also in horrible "snide and petulant" communication style.

"Extortion" and "blackmail" are explicitly criminal acts, mostly against persons, that have a higher bar. It could be tortious interference. Another commenter raised that CA unfair business practices laws can be bad for Automaticc. In Europe perhaps as well (also around tort?), but no clue.

If all americans would simply follow the principles laid out in this article we could all become staggeringly rich.
It defeats the purpose of LLM as personal expert on arbitrary topics. But the ability to do even a mediocre job with easy unstructured-data tasks at scale is incredibly valuable. Businesses like my employer pay hundreds of professionals to run business process outsourcing sites where thousands of contractors repeatedly answer questions like "does this support contact contain a complaint about X issue?" And there are months-long lead teams to develop training about new types of questions, or to hire and allocate headcount for new workloads. We frequently conclude it's not worth it.
I think that is at least an approximation of what he is trying to do with the trademark issue.

If you want to use the trademark, you have to contribute to the success of the project.

There are plenty of Open Source projects that billion-dollar companies completely rely on without contributing back, and this situation puts those projects and companies at risk. An imperfect analogy might be what happened with the XZ Utils backdoor in Linux. The person maintaining the utility seemed overwhelmed, so he was pressured into accepting malicious actors as maintainers. They were able to introduce a backdoor into the utility. If more of these companies would have contributed to help with the maintenance and development of the utility, this would not have been possible.

If WP Engine starts contributing 5% of their revenue to the WordPress project, it helps protect the project that their entire business is built around.

So I think the questions really should be, "Why does Matt feel like this was necessary in the first place? Why wasn't WP Engine contributing more than 40 hours a week to the project?"
At least science has mechanisms for dealing with fraud, for recognizing fraud and recovering from it. Can't be said for religion or politics.

So then, how on earth does this stuff even get published? What exactly is it that we're all doing here?

If a finding either cannot be communicated enough for someone else to replicate it, or cannot be replicated because the method is shoddy, can we even call that science?

At some level I know that what I'm proposing isn't realistic because the majority of science is sloppy. P-hacking, lack of detail, bad writing, bad methods, code that doesn't compile, fraud. But maybe if we tried some version of this, it would cause a course correction. Reviewers, knowing that someone actually would attempt to replicate a paper at some point down the road, would be far more critical of ambiguity and lack of detail.

Papers that are not fit to be replicated in the future, whose claims cannot be tested independently, are actually not science at all. They are worth less than nothing because they take up air in the room, choking out actual progress.
Having an attacker know the public IP of your box almost guarantees that they can take it down. Even if somehow you were able to ignore all the packets from the attacker, most capable DDoSers will be easily be able to saturate the bandwidth of pretty much a single VPS easily.

And if it's a cheap VPS, your provider is going to drop you in a blink so that their other customers are not affected.

If you want to be able to withstand a DDoS, you need a WAF who can absorb the amount of bandwidth that the attacker is capable of delivering, while also being capable of filtering enough of it that your service is not overwhelmed anyway.

Also, if you have ever hosted your service directly on the public IP of your VPS, you also probably need to change it. If an attacker sees your service is suddenly behind CloudFlare, they can search sites that keep a history of domain's public IPs and will attack all of them to see if they can skirt around your WAF.

Ideally, you need to keep the IPs of your services completely private and then firewall them such that only your WAF provider can forward traffic to them.
OpenAI was a research lab – now it's just another tech company
Oh please the content online now is so fake as hell. You're acting as if AI can only produce garbage but CNN and Fox News are producing gold. The internet is 4 total websites now, congrats big media won. And you want to shut down the only decent attempt against it. Shame on you "hackers"
Actually, not only could but was willing to. And that was a year ago. It is reasonable to presume their admin and monitoring tools have only become better since then.

Never going to happen; too much investment. Not without something resetting the whole patent system all at once.

And hey, I’m not actually opposed to all patents. H.265 - if you put tens of millions into compression research, or hundreds of millions into database scaling research at PlanetScale, a temporary exclusivity period makes sense.

95% of software patents don’t reach that level.

I think some of the bad rap also comes from technology advancement. Amazon’s 1-click Checkout patent is notorious; but nobody talks about how much of an accomplishment that technology was in 1997. It actually was very impressive when that patent was granted, particularly in getting the credit card networks to agree to the security design.
The gold bugs really set back that entire field: the quasi-religious pursuit of “trustless” designs made everything more expensive, but so many problems are far more tractable with trusted third parties both for cost and reduced attack potential because institutional/professional reputations are harder to build than getting n% consensus on a cryptocurrency and don’t have the built-in bug bounty problem.

For example, imagine if university libraries ran storage systems based on Merkle trees with PKI signatures and researchers used those for their papers, code, data inventory (maybe not petabytes of data but the hashes of that data), etc. If there were allegations of misconduct you’d be able to see that whole history establishing that when things were changed and by whom, and someone couldn’t fudge the data without multiple compromised/complicit people in a completely different department (a senior figure can pressure a grad student in their field but they have far less leverage over staff at the library), and since you’re not sharing a database with the entire world you have a much easier time scaling with periodic cross checks (e.g. MIT and Caltech could cross-sign each other’s indexes periodically so you could have confidence that nobody had altered the inventory without storing the actual collection).
Counterpoint, maybe it really was meritless?
The Messy WordPress Drama
> America's going through the the same thing Rome did 1000 of years, and we may lose the republic. // Well, I realized that - what happened in Rome? Rome made a lot of money because it was conquering half the world, and that money was going into Rome, but didn't really just all go to the people. It went to the people running Rome, who were the senators - and just and the same exact thing is happening in America, where of course, there's a lot of money. You know, this is a time of great economic recession, but in the world, no one, no one's getting through it better than America is. America has a lot of money. Yeah. // And what our senators are doing now instead of really running the country and making it as good as it possibly can, they're all manipulating their power: that's exactly what Rome senators did and ultimately how Rome lost it and ended up with a king or a dictator at first.

I love how people are like "there's no use case" and there's already products on shelves. I see AI art everywhere, AI writing, customer support - already happened. You guys are naysaying something that already happened people already replaced jobs with LLMs and already profit due to AI. There are already startups with users where you provide a OPENAI_API_KEY, or customers where you provide theirs.

If you can't see how this tech is useful Idk what to tell you, you have no imagination AND aren't looking around you at the products, marketing, etc. that already exists. These takes remind me of the luddites of ~2012 who were still doubting the Internet in general.

The intent of science is to find absolute truth. It's just that the mechanism by which we do so typically involves demonstrating that a finding isn't absolutely true. And we also lack the epistemological confidence to say that what we're observing represents the absolute truth, or that the idea of absolute truth is meaningful.
Take notes, on your computer. Keep the notes in one place (at least for each topic).

I don't have enough memory to keep track of everything on my project at work. There's too many loose ends. There would still be too many loose ends if I had a better memory, too (for any realistic value of "better"). So I keep all that in a file of notes about the project, and keep it updated as things change.

Ctrl-f beats any memory trick ever invented.

Even if you do know the object of the exercise is more "add extra steps" so half awake brain is less likely to manage it without you waking up enough to curse and get up anyway.

Then again, back on my N900 half awake brain once managed to pop a root shell, ps | grep, and kill -9 the alarm clock app without me having any memory of it (the shell was still open when I woke up naturally some time later or I'd never have known what happened).
I am personally quite minimalist and trying to reduce my needs, but I'm not convinced this is what wealth is. A better description would be "wealth means having more than your neighbors". Want to feel wealthy? Relocate to Ethiopia.
This is a good point. I've tried phrasing this a few ways, but ultimately it seems like Gen Z workers think they know the value of their work, and will balk when asked to do more than they're being paid for. I don't think entry-level works are more immature or less-prepared, but they're a lot less tolerant of corporate excuses.

I checked 5 linux desktop/laptops here and none of them had cups-browsed or port 631 exposed. They are all able to print to a network printer. The vulnerability is real though perhaps the impact is exaggerated. Distros that tend towards installing a minimal selection of packages and services are less exposed.
And so the counterculture begins angst angst angst!

Every case I've seen in my career where this has happened has not been "negligence" but developers not realizing there's some obscure logging middleware or something.

To be honest, it's difficult to tell if the subplot makes sense on purpose, or if the writers just wanted to make a joke and it just happened to end up making sense. I don't think I had ever put the three scenes together before now.

Patents already require that all information be available, for someone similarly invested in the craft, to be able to completely reproduce the invention.

That doesn’t require an implementation - but that mirrors our regular patent office, which does not require physical functioning prototypes to demonstrate.
But she has a valid point.
I think you are misinterpreting that article. The MTA board approved the plan to spend $68B but they depend on the state to give them funds. That’s the amount of money they are asking for based on the projects they want to complete. The state government has to pass a budget to fund that plan (or do something else). Additionally several current, already started projects are on hold due to the “pause” of congestion pricing which was going to be a funding source.

Speaking of whom, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned his Commander X16 project yet. Much in the same spirit, a "fantasy C64 successor", just not based on the C65. Looks like about the same market penetration too (on the order of 1K units to date).
You're free to restart anything you want, of course. Reboot the whole machine every time you change anything, that way you'll be sure. I am not stopping you, and in some cases it can be useful to make absolutely certain.

I only pointed out that "ufw reload" is not necessary to make "ufw allow/deny/delete" take effect. Multiple people might not have known that, judging from the upvotes I got. And now I find I have to justify myself. Is that being "pedantic"? Am I the one "rushing"?

I don't see a reason why reload should be "good practice". If ufw or your config is buggy, it is very possible for the rules not to apply at next boot, when iptables is reset. If this is critical, reboot and do a test connection.

If they provide the training code, and data set, how is that not enough to reproduce functionally equivalent weights? I don’t have any experience in the AI field, what else would they need to provide/define?

As others have mentioned, reproducible builds can be quite difficult to achieve even with regular software.

Compiler versions, build system versions, system library versions, time stamps, file paths, and more often contribute to getting non-identical yet functionally equivalent binaries, but the software is still open source.
It seems like there is a certain segment of people who want not so much to actually reduce the impact they have on the Earth, but to do performative suffering and comfort reduction as a way to demonstrate how much better they are than other people.
