> I don't think I personally know anyone who has ended up with malware on their phone

That's... kind of the point when distributing malware? Not only has the game changed as to what actually happens, but malware is only valuable as long as it's installed - meaning getting noticed is pretty well the worst-case scenario for the attacker.

The main point though is malware is no longer stealing credit card numbers. It's not 15 ad-laden toolbars in browsers, or pop-unders and overs, or in-your-face obvious. A subtle miner over half a million users is a decent chunk of shitcoin to mine, and efficiency doesn't matter when it's not your hardware, or your power.
The little blemish in that scenario being that that the US's food supply and natural resources come from its rural areas. If the prices of food and other goods keeps rising, you won't be able to count on urban voters behaving sensibly either.

> All the while, there’s been debate about whether engineering teams that use generative AI are at risk of violating open source software licensing requirements. (Generative AI tools train, in part, on open source libraries, which leads to questions about whether generative AI output is subject to the same licenses as the training material.)

Cool project, thanks for sharing! I don't have a need for the parts but it's cool to see vehicles from that era working properly.
You can only force everyone on a project to use a formatter if you are the one who has the authority to decree what will be done on the team. OTOH, if you are but a team member and you join a team where the manager does not think common formatting is important, then you get f*ck all.

So being built-in, idiomatic and expected cannot be over-appreciated.
I've watched seasons 1-5 this year. It's basically my first run through, I'd only watched a couple of random episodes back in the day and not been impressed, so there's no nostalgia at play here.

It absolutely holds up, and does things that seem to be impossible for streaming-era TV shows in terms of building the characters and the universe.

The first season is very obviously done on a shoestring budget, but the production values will start improving after that. I honestly can't imagine what value a reboot would bring.
Reminds me of this [1] SSC post. It briefly talks about a paper [2]:

> the paper is trying to explain what psychedelics do to the brain. It theorizes that they weaken high-level priors (in this case, you can think of these as the tendency to fit everything to an existing narrative), allowing things to be seen more as they are

> A corollary of relaxing high-level priors or beliefs under psychedelics is that ascending prediction errors from lower levels of the system (that are ordinarily unable to update beliefs due to the top-down suppressive influence of heavily-weighted priors) can find freer register in conscious experience

In the context of trauma, the trauma-induced unhealthy belief systems would be the high-level priors that have lodged themselves in strongly, and the effect of the psychedelics would help the person actually process and validate them against real world evidence (beyond the traumatic ones). I can imagine that actually having to do that - seeing all your trauma-based narratives and how they have shaped your view of things, and confronting how they clash with reality - being a pretty rough ride.

Hired farmworkers make up less than 1 percent of all US wage and salary workers (per USDA 2023). 43 million acres of corn is for ethanol biofuel alone, the need for which diminishes over time as light vehicle electrification continues. Urban areas are unlikely to go without food entirely, although the mix might change (less beef due to cattle herds shrinking [1], less dairy as smaller dairies continue to collapse [2], and so on). Based on the data, there is plenty of slack in the food production system as Rural America evaporates [3]. California is the country's largest ag product producer, for example, and also the world's fifth largest economy. You know who imports the most soybeans from the US? China [4]. Good luck to those farmers as China retaliates against US tariffs.

Suppose the digit sequence is: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5". Someone says: "9, 2, 3 -- wait, the digit a few places back was a 1, not a 9 -- 4, 5". The pattern /^.*1.*2.*3.*4.*5.*$/ doesn't match; they didn't "deviate and return" in the way you seem to be implying; yet they've expressed the correction in a reasonable way that a human would understand.

He does not spend an appreciable amount of effort or time advocating for that though. He spends 95% of his energy trying to take down the merits of NN-based approaches.

If he had something to show for it, like neurosymbolic wins over benchmarks for LLMs, that would be different. But he's not a researcher anymore. He's a mouth, and he is so inaccurate that it is actually dangerous, because some government officials listen to him.

I actually think that neurosymbolic approaches could be incredible and bring huge gains in performance and interpretability. But I don't see Marcus spending a lot of effort and doing quality research in that area that achieves much.

The quality of his arguments seems to be at the level of a used furniture salesman.
By the time you've figured out how to install and run this, you've probably learned more than the class your cheating in had to offer.

My suspicion is that io_uring itself mitigates syscall overhead but doesn't do anything to change interrupts.

You could probably do things at the OS level to change interrupt behavior in a way that would mitigate this attack significantly, I'll need to read the paper to see if they discuss this.
That video demo is not tele-operated.

You are arguing a straw man. The discussion was about LLMs.

Small businesses are no less viable than ever. Read some historical BLS and SBA stats, SUSB at Census.gov, or pretty much any proper place that tracks historical businesses data.

Just because not everyone is Warren Buffet or the tech echo chamber here only looks at app style businesses doesn’t mean millions of people are not succeeding.

Show HN: I created a plugin for Figma to track changes in the design
Hey HN,

I'm a designer who wants to learn development and build products. I shipped 3 plugins in the last 4 months.

So, I was having this problem at work where it was super hard to keep track of all the design changes because of scoping. Developers were always confused about what changed and where. I got tired of the back-and-forth, so I decided to do something about it!

And Here I'm with changeloger.

I built this for 2 main reasons,
- To have smoother communication with developers and keep them on track.
- Have a log of changes with designs linked to the log.

I hope this will be useful to track logs as it is useful to me. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Anyway, at 45+ we are talking something in the range of 10’s of million dollars per cancer case prevented depending on assumptions. That doesn’t mean it’s a terrible idea, just that there’s probably somewhere more productive to do with those resources.

I like it. I've read about the original concept by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a French Jesuit priest. This seems to give it a more sci-fi twist, including simulated universes and bringing back the dead.

> According to [Frank Tipler], it is required, for the known laws of physics to be consistent, that intelligent life take over all matter in the universe and eventually force its collapse.

> During that collapse, the computational capacity of the universe diverges to infinity, and environments emulated with that computational capacity last for an infinite duration as the universe attains a cosmological singularity.

> With computational resources diverging to infinity, Tipler states that a society in the far future would be able to resurrect the dead by emulating alternative universes.

> Tipler identifies the Omega Point with God, since, in his view, the Omega Point has all the properties of God claimed by most traditional religions.

> Drowning, falling off a ladder, and a car crash are all a type of accident but it’s really hard to find a thread tying them all together to deal with it generally.

Indeed, but humanity has managed to reduce "accidental deaths" as a whole by honing in on individual accident categories before - say, alcohol influence, combating that one by a multitude of means reduced car crashes, workplace injuries and domestic accidents.

Something similar might be possible for cancer as well. I think the solution already exists in nature, hidden within large animals, we "only" need to find out how precisely a 200 metric ton whale or a 10 ton elephant manages to beat statistic odds.

(Additionally, ever since COVID shone a spotlight on it, there is more and more evidence that lots of cancers are caused by viruses, most prominently herpes / genital cancer)

Sunlight and transparency are great disinfectants for evil. Good only triumphs over evil if evil is exposed but evil wins if it’s allowed to remain in the shadows forever. Almost no one believes what they’re doing is evil — nearly everyone believes they’re a good person (even terrorists who have killed and taken hostages, as hostage negotiators recall in their books) but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

If the intel agencies can’t even convincingly share with congress reasons with enough merit that can stand up to scrutiny, then fuck em. Do what’s right instead. No one voted for any agency, intel or not, or any deep state to make all of the decisions of the democratic republic. America has 3 branches of government. No 4th branch for good reason. Transparency and sunlight are great disinfectants and there should be more of both. Transparency is needed to make the best decisions.

Correct. Probably the only way to mitigate interrupt stuff today is what they mentioned - you inject noise into the system intentionally with their example being to make network requests to local addresses. Fundamentally though the challenge is that if you start doing that, you probably start degrading performance fairly quickly for your neighbors. It’s really hard to balance mitigations that retain good performance. A more comprehensive solution probably involves a redesign of how we build CPUs and operating systems rather than trying to keep fighting this in software.

same, as someone getting a degree in the climate/energy field this particular bullet point makes me cringe:

"How can we address the sustainability of AI, particularly regarding energy and water use, in regions with scarce resources?"

imo this is putting the cart before the horse and speaks to the overall state of the tech industry now...
Instead of "How can we address the sustainability of PEOPLE", we first ask, "How can we address the sustainability of AI" wtf lol.

We have plenty of evidence, research, textbooks, and to their point, indigenous knowledge, to do it ourselves, but they think its best to just feed it all into an AI, hope that the AI will spit back out something that solves these problems, all the while trying to make this AI more sustainable because resources are so scarce that even the people don't have enough.

not trying to say this initiative is simply pandering to disenfranchised groups or PR stunt but i don't think they are serious about actual change.

Just thinking about this.. do you know if anyone has figured out a way to reliably encode a Turing machine or simple virtual machine in the layers of a neural network, in a somewhat optimal way, using a minimized number of parameters?

Or maybe fully integrating differentiable programming into networks. It just seems like you want to keep everything in matrices in the AI hardware to get the really high efficiency gains.

To me, the Alzheimer’s drug story is an argument for right to try laws.

If the drug is available to the desperate, then the push by the public to shortcut the process goes away and the process can be done correctly. Those who are desperate can try, with the understanding that it might not work. The process can continue unmodified because there isn’t a pressure to get the drug out to the public because it is available.

Someone can say the German language is a bad language. But it is not the language that is bad, it is the person's perception.

When they try to evaluate German while thinking in English it is no surprise they consider it sub-standard. Germans, OTOH, are much better equipped to evaluate the German language than those who only know how to think in English.
