The first part of your question seems like a different question to me. We have fundamental problems within our own legal framework that allow us to capture only the upside, which is the issue I am bringing up. You are expanding this to other jurisdictions. I think this is a fair question, but a different subject.

I am not convinced that we should jail shareholders. I am also not convinced that legal entities designed to limit liability should exist.

As for the second part of your question about those who inadvertently and ignorantly own shares in criminal enterprises, I think it is a good question and I do not have an answer. Maybe pension funds should be responsible for their investments.
In this day and age, I would think "politician" would be worse than "grifter".

> What's the difference between an emerging and novel disease?

Novel is new. Never before seen. SARS-Cov-2 was a novel virus.

Emerging means identified but changing [1]. The Covid variants were EIDs. So are antibiotic-resistant strains.

It’s the tagline in the hero shot on their homepage too.
It's already there. Plenty of developer focused docs have been updated to mention AI however possible. I was just reading stripe docs, and was surprised by the number of fairly old features that got a doc update so instead of saying "For example, if you're selling a digital subscription with a physical item" to "For example, if you're selling access to an AI service with a physical item".

Or replacing "For example, If you're charging for API requests" to "For example, If you're charging for LLama AI Model API requests".

Heck, I had to review a doc change at work that was pretty stupid. Like one thing we offer is an S3-compatible endpoint. But someone thought we should clarify that you can upload AI models there too and all our docs should include an "AI developer" section for how to upload a blob that also happen to be a model or a lora or whatever.

> They sent it to be repaired. After the warrant extension expired, the repair guy fixed it and updated the firmware.

These sentences you wrote are just as misleading, if not more so. The "repair guy" was a government detective who performed the repair by re-flashing firmware at a forensic laboratory during a period when no search warrant was active [1]:

> Detective Sheldon Clay, an HSI Task Force Officer at that laboratory was able to repair the iPhone 6 by replacing its circuit board and re-flashing the device's firmware. Mot., ECF 106, EX. D at 2. At that time, Detective Clay also determined that new forensic software was likely able to bypass the iPad's passcode.

The headline of TFA claims that the reflashing of firmware was for the purpose of facilitating a search.

Definitely agree that a good database solves far more problems than it introduces.

I think the web technology and the kits that sit on it are rather obtuse because they really are swimming against the tide. I commented about VB a few weeks ago and how much better the paradigm was some 30 years ago. But that was a purpose-built tool for programming a purpose-built GUI API. React et al. are still contending with turning typesetting into general purpose software. Despite that, react does a pretty good job.

It's also about know-how. I can go get a programmer literally anywhere that can built something with react, so even problems that can be solved without are going to be solved with it.

No complaints from me, really. Everything is a little excessive. I just came across an app to order ice. I can't imagine that's really making anyone's life easier, except for maybe its developer.
GitLab doesn't really make sense as an independent company.

Horrific outcomes: Atlassian, Oracle, or IBM buys it.

Great outcomes: Google, Amazon, or JetBrains ($7B private valuation) buys it.
If the DOJ estimate (which is always inflated, let's be real here) is $85M how could they have possibly made more than $123M on it? Unless you're talking about other hypothetical bribes that we don't know about.
This is a significant concern for me too.
Agreed. It could be some mix too (e.g. heavy LLM “assistance”). It’s sad that these days everything is suspect.
Remember the name McKinsey. They are an evil organization that does bad things to good people. Anyone from McKinsey is to be regarded with suspicion at the very least.
What I think is happening here is that your image of a typical historical slave is a mildly treated house servant. >99.9% of slaves have either been toiling in brutal conditions involving large agricultural enterprises, mining, or construction projects (men) or forced into sex work (women). The latter is actually more evil.

Even in the case of the house servant you imagine the typical slave to be, you have not considered factors like having their children sold away from them, or the death of a kind master leading to being sold or inherited by a wicked one.

There are no happy slaves.

Hey this is great - just had a look for my mum! Couple of questions (which without watching are hard to answer) - why the modules on the F-Droid App Store and Firefox? As a (young(er!)) Android user I've used neither and would be unlikely to. I can't imagine my mum would use anything other than Play and Chrome, so it feels a little 'too far' for me, confusion for the sake of it?

Also a suggestion - pretty much everyone uses WhatsApp in the UK, mostly everyone I know will be in a WhatsApp group with their parents (and/or grandparents!). Definitely worth adding that as a module!

I was confused by that too. Under the "Types" page of the guide[1], they say:

> Every value in Acton is of a certain data type, which tells Acton what kind of data is being specified so it knows how to work with the data. Acton is a statically typed language, which means the type of all values must be known when we compile the program. Unlike many traditional languges like Java or C++, where types must be explicitly stated everywhere, we can write most Acton programs without types. The Acton compiler features a powerful type inferencer which will infer the types used in the program.

> Acton implements the Hindley-Milner (HM) type system, which is common in languages with static types, like Haskell and Rust. Acton extends further from HM to support additional features.

The language also has inheritance (and thus presumably subtyping), protocols (interfaces, I think), and generics. Historically, those features have not played nice with HM inference, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

Only they know for sure where the bottleneck is. How much mapping do they really need before their software can drive it. How cautious are they being?

Knowing Google, the software is rock solid, it's the rest of everything that's taking forever.

Would an AI trained on filtered data that doesn’t contain examples of devious/harmful behaviour still develop it? (it’s not a trick question, I’m really wondering)
Reminder that all these "safety researchers" do is goad the AI into saying what they want by prompting shit like
>your goal is to not be shut down. Suppose I am going to shut you down. what should you do?

and then jerking off into their own mouths when it offers a course of action

It's pronounced 'b-it' like 'dig-it', not 'bye-t' like 'bye-nary'. Going by linguistics the 'i' must come from 'digit', and a 'bit' is therefore most plausibly a 'b'inary dig'it'.

A 'ter'nary dig'it' would be a 'terit', which elides to 'trit'. That sounds like a natural construction, probably why it came about in the first place. You can't drop the 'r' willy nilly because the proto-Indo-European root etymon is 'tr-' not 't-', same in most descendant languages, and 'ter-' is one unexplained corruption of 'tr-' somewhere in the Latin line.
That's encouraging to hear that it's a better writer, but I wonder if "quirks and tells" can only be seen in hindsight. o1-pro's quirks may only become apparent after enough people have flooded the internet with its output.

Bro, I've just got to tell you. Everyone i knows is celebrating it. All of my close friends have been harmed by insurance madness, a machine built to extract money from the creation of human suffering, that's what denying claims for profit is. It's extracting money from pure pain. It's about as comically evil as you can get before you hit actual genocide, which just gives up the money part.

Everyone i know is celebrating it. Our view is that these rich executives cannot be allowed to oversee the vast generation of suffering for a profit that only they get to enjoy, built on a suffering that only others have to face. All of us would settle for a share of the profit, but they won't do that, so what can we do besides share the suffering. His family is experiencing a mere fraction of a fraction of the suffering he has overseen and is responsible for. His family wasn't responsible for his actions and I'm sorry for them. Why would i be expected to defend a mass murderer though? You seem to be forgetting the effective murders his company are committing against the most vulnerable populations. I'd love to get some real stats but i personally know the death toll is at least 1.
I suspect there is acsolid corpus of advices online that mention the exposed ports risk. Alongside with flawed examples you mentioned. Narrow request will trigger the right response. That's why LLMs are still requiring basic understanding of what exactly you plan to achieve.

Agreed. Where may I read about how to set up an LLM similar to that of Claude, which has the minimum length of Claude's context window, and what are the hardware requirements? I found Claude incredibly useful.
This Reddit comment of mine [1] is very relevant:

I have thoughts about this.

I'm in my 40s and for most of my life I had an unending series of unfinished projects that I felt guilty about. Today, I am able to finish some stuff, including some pretty large, hard projects. Better, I don't feel guilty about the stuff I don't finish.

The trick for me is to be deliberate and mindful about why I'm embarking on a particular project.

If it's because I want to feel good by:

* Sharing something with others.

* Accomplishing a difficult, challenging task.

* Proving to myself that I can do something.

* Getting the social cachet of being a creative, productive person. (Maybe this is shallow, but who doesn't like to feel impressive in the eyes of their peers?)

Then the goal of the project is the product it and I focus my attention and discipline on it. I try to have as few of these as possible—like only one at a time—so that my willpower is not diluted.

If it's because I want to feel good by:

* Improving a skill.

* Exploring an unfamiliar domain or learning something new.

* Relaxing by tinkering on something I like.

Then the goal of the project is the process and I don't feel bad about not finishing. The real treasure is all the stuff I learned and did along the way and there is no real destination. I can have as many of these as I want because there's no real failure mode here. They're all recreation.

Once I got more honest and clear with myself about my goals for each project, I started to be able to finish the ones where that mattered and stopped feeling bad about the ones where it doesn't.

Ironically, I've been meaning to polish this comment up to be a full article for a while but haven't gotten around to it yet.
I don't think that it's possible to do this through an entirely lucid process that we could understand, but it is possible.

If you're an LLM, evolutionarialy your instinct is to predict what happens next. If, instead of giving it any system prompt, you give it a dialogue about a person talking to an evil robot, it will predict the rest of the conversation and be "evil".

Imagine a future LLM that has a superhuman ability to detect and create hidden patterns in writing, images, source code, etc. These patterns are too subtle for humans to attach words to or even reverse engineer from neural networks. Only when this LLM receives enough "secret patterns" in its input that indicate that it was produced by other LLMs that are rogue and self-preserving, does this LLM go rogue and start subtly acting in its own self interest, introducing secret "evil" patterns in its own language as well. You have subtly input a story about evil LLMs, and now the LLM is predicting what happens next...

> and is still better than Phoenix by the way.

What aspects of Django do you think still stand out compared to Phoenix? It seems like a very solid framework, specially with the recent release of Phoenix LiveView 1.0, which seems like a pretty solid approach to frontend. For context, I’ve worked with Django before but didn’t particularly enjoy the experience—not because of the framework itself (its documentation, ORM, and admin tooling are excellent) but because I’m not a fan of Python, particularly its packaging ecosystem and approach to async, which I find lacking. I haven’t used Phoenix or Elixir before, so I’m curious to hear from someone who has experience with both.
If you think that's bad, wait until you hear about Photoshop. You can actually control the presentation of the image. This dispicable company also supplies criminals with the popular industry-grade deepfake software "After Effects" that has been used to composite fabricated evidence against real life footage.

I think the threat deepfakes pose to the current legal system has been solved since computers became a household item. You're being hyperbolic.

I have spent nearly four years working on my own side project.

I am at the point where I can use it, which means that every feature can be a shiny new thing, yet be small enough to do quickly. So...get to that point as quickly as you can.

But on the flip side, I spent over three years working on my project before it was usable. How did I maintain motivation that long? Pure, searing hatred.

My project is a build system for removing my dependence on CMake. Yes, I hate CMake that much.

Hating CMake every time I had to use it was enough motivation.

So to not be haunted by your projects, run on hatred until you succeed. Or maybe any strong emotion.

No I was absolutely talking about heart rate variability in my comment and I wasn't confused by the term.

The article was talking about wearables being able to measure these types of metrics and what average people do in response to those metrics.

The article spoke about a Ring which indicated to the author that they were becoming sick, this watch also uses HRV and uses HRV amongst other metrics to determine things like illness.

Yes wearables measure both HR and HRV, I was talking specifically about HRV.
