The threat model here is defective hardware and not an attacker? Presumably an attacker with RCE could just make "more" activity via the verification path in order to accomplish their goals. Although I suppose this activity would be present in the tree, so you could conceivably audit it (somehow) and discover the attack.

There are still the factors of exposure rate and a difference between legal reality and expectations.

Fundamental to this is that people are increasingly siloed and have little idea how closely the legal system reflects the will of the majority. They just think that their opinion is the majority and anything that deviates is the product of a corrupt system and public disenfranchisement.

Tell HN: Ashby spams engineers by scraping their emails with no opt-out
Hi HN, I thought I'd let you know that "Ashby HQ", some kind of new recruiting software, has a tool to look up emails via 3rd parties that they will not let engineers opt out of.

After getting a lot of recruiting spam over the years, I am always trying to opt out of it. Usually when there's an uptick, some new service like Ashby that lets people spam engineers has started.

Typically these services let people opt out, but after emailing back and forth with support, it seems Ashby "uses third parties" for this data and will not let engineers stop employers from getting their email, even if they don't want to be contacted.

Just putting this out there for any engineer thinking of working for them or who notices an uptick in recruiter spam that can't be stopped. I find this behavior really sad, personally, an email with no way to unsubscribe.

Please upvote if you support data privacy and the right to be forgotten :).

I'm not an expert in this space but I can see the value. It allows an endless loop of generating novel scenarios and evaluating an AI agent's performance within that scenario (for example, "go up the stairs"). A world with one minute of coherence is about enough to evaluate whether the AI's actions were in the right direction or not. When you then want to run an agent on a real task in the real world, with video-input data, you can run the same policy that it learned in dream-world simulation. The real world has coherence, so the AI agent's actions just need to string together well enough minute-by-minute to work toward achieving a goal.

You could use real video games to do this but I guess there'd be a risk of over-fitting; maybe it would learn too precisely what a staircase looks like in Minecraft, but fail to generalize that to the staircase in your home. If they can simulate dream worlds (as well as, presumably, worlds from real photos), then they can train their agents this way.

This would only be training high-level decision policies (ie, WASD inputs). For something like a robot, lower level motor control loops would still be needed to execute those commands.

Of course you could just do your training in the real world directly, because it already has coherence and plenty of environmental variety. But the learning process involves lots of learning from failure, and that would probably be even more expensive than this expensive simulator.

Despite the claims I don't think it does much to help with AI safety. It can help avoid hilarious disasters of an AI-in-training crashing a speedboat onto the riverbank, but I don't think there's much here that helps with the deeper problems of value-alignment. This also seems like an effective way to train robo-killbots who perceive the world as a dreamlike first-person shooter.

They are not sealed perfectly, but every drum that I’ve removed had a pile of shoe dust that was a very significant fraction of the original mass of the shoe friction material worn. I’d estimate that 50% or more of the material ends up at the workshop instead of along the roadside.
Because in transactional relationships the other person only shows up when they need something and then they disappear again until the next time they need something from you.

Transactional relationships are fine if that's the deal up front. I have a lot of transactional relationships with freelancers, contractors, and repair people. I call them up needing something and I'm going to pay them for it. The transaction.

I dislike transactional relationships when they're disguised as personal connections or friendships. People who pretend to want to get to know you, but they really just want to be able to call on you when they need something from you. Often when you call on them for something they're nowhere to be found.
>You keep saying killed, but there is a difference between letting people die and killing them.

Using dubious legalese to deny a life saving claim that happens to cost say $200,000 that you took premiums for is pretty close. If you pay out of pocket, it might save your life, but you're bankrupt, your children get no inheritance, and you probably lose your house. That's a pretty insidious act for profit IMO.

>Voters are widely split on healthcare reform and have no consensus beyond the fact that they want it. I want healthcare reform too, but probably dont agree with you on what that means. I don't that that justifies a consequentialist claim that the other is a killer, let alone reprisal.

I think the easiest step would be to drop the Medicaid age from 65 to 60. Drop it 5 years every 5 years or so. The lower it goes, the cheaper that bracket will be. I don't know why any politician hasn't suggested this, but I can guess.
I put together this in related to our cloud offering, it's still somewhat relevant for Outerbase Studio even though some features are different:

Just tried it for 15 minutes.

Impressions:

- Your website and your app looks neat, although I'm not a fan of "children colorbook" style.

- I like that you can vary difficulty level without having to "unlock" longer sentences.

- I hate that writting has to be perfect to the punctuation, esp since I do not always know how to write some punctuation marks or accent with my english keyboard (I went with learning spanish)

Fundamentally, I do not think it's that very different from duo-lingo though (that's just my first impression of course, but you might find it interresting anyway - maybe put upfront what really differenciate your app?)

Do you know about the "Language Transfer" app, which approach to language learning is also centered on listening (but in their case, listening to conversations with a teacher)?

Best of luck!
I've never really liked the term "low information voter" -- because it's too optimistic. It suggests that the solution is the addition of data.

The term was coined in the early 90s, before the widespread popularity of the Web. Perhaps there was an argument to be made that some voters were merely uninformed. Today, we are if anything over-informed. We have everything we could possibly want to know at our fingertips.

At this point, though, I don't even think that flood of information is the problem. More recently, there has been an insistence that people can say whatever they want, regardless of its truth. Which is, legally, true. But it's disheartening to me that often, people often don't seem to care whether they're getting true information or not. It suffices to them that they have a legal right to it.

I don't really know what to do about any of that. At the time this term was coined, I believed that we had differences not of information, but of values. In that environment, we could build up some kind of way of living together based on the values we did share, and finding some kind of compromise when we didn't.

But at this point, the conflict itself seems to be primary. And it's not due to lack of information, or even a clash of values, but a deeply ingrained and personal dislike.
I know a few people like this and can confirm: they're extremely difficult to be around and take pride in it, feeling great about being "free thinkers" and breaking from the "herd mentality".

This I feel is unfortunately counter to the design of humankind, where we are—as you said—social animals and the only way to change for the better—at a species level—is to change together.
Health Insurance companies will continue to push the limits on how much they don't need to cover until there is a regulation change.
Small talk doesn’t need to be about the weather as the trope goes.

It can be as simple as “hey have you seen {shared colleague} recently?” Or “Hey man, you get into any new hobbies recently?”, or “I’ve been dabbling in {x} tech, have you done anything like it or are could recommend an alternative based on {personal information you got from collaborating with this person}”

The main point in making is that you need to continue in performing these relationship maintaining activities _before_ you need said persons help.

For the extremely oblivious who haven’t researched any game theory but know some comp sci, imagine that relationships with all other humans needed regular mechanical Turk transactions with yourself or they will be identified as high risk groups that shouldn’t be afforded any leeway.

Absolutely- there is no reason children can’t and shouldn’t learn science by participating as it is done by real scientists- reading and even writing and publishing their own papers. I am an academic PI and am involved within teaching science by directly involving undergrads and even school aged children in real research, and having them write and publish their own papers as primary author. The idea of gatekeeping science as not for children is awful in my opinion.

Moreover, just because Minecraft is a video game doesn’t mean it has no place in real scientific research- it is a virtual world with a modular plugin system that can allow a researcher to create and interact with simulations of almost any type of system imaginable. People have executed realistic physics experiments, designed working cpus, etc in it. I think there is a lot of potential for really significant research within it.
Guide to Building an AI-Powered Mathematical Animation Generator
Yeah, strong agree.
Sure it happens, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't think about reducing it.
However the architecture they describe really sounds like it should still have that issue. I doubt they really solved it.

Which is a big problem for the agent-training use case they keep reiterating on the website. Agents are like speedrunners: if there is a stupid exploit, the agent will probably find and use it. And for Oasis the speedrunning meta for getting to the nether is to find anything red, make it fill the screen, and repeat until the world-generating AI thinks you look at lava and must be in the nether

"Grifter" is a terrible word choice for the "personality type" in the description.

Grifting is always a form of aberrant behaviour -- manipulative, cruel, deceitful, larcenous. Unless you are Humpty Dumpty, I don't know why you would choose a word for a quadrant that requires you to clarify that you do not mean to associate its actual meaning with the behaviours in that quadrant.

"Politician" (albeit with a small p) is a much, much better word for the personality type in the description.

Politics is only sometimes a form of aberrant behaviour.
The same way we reduced pollution from tailpipes. Studies, tests and legislation.

Weirdly enough in the US there is the UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grading) which includes treadwear, and the EU tire label does not. The EU label does include noise, but the US one does not.

In general treadwear warranties are a thing here in the states, but I've never seen them in Europe.

I wonder if this is why tires are louder here in the states, are harder tires last longer.

You only quoted a portion of my sentence.

Transactional relationships can be fine if both parties are on with it, but you actually need to bring something of value.

If you and I have a fully transactional relationship, then why would I do anything for you if you won’t/can’t do anything for me?

What is the evidence that natural rubber is less harmful?
I've put a lot of thought into managing the storage growth, the chain grows proportionally to system activity, but I've implemented several optimizations to keep it manageable:

1. Efficient proof encoding: Each proof is typically 128 bytes (64-byte operation hash + 64-byte signature). For context, a 1GB system performing ~1000 operations/second would generate roughly 10MB of proof data per minute before optimizations.

2. Smart pruning strategies:

- Automatic pruning of validated proof chains after state transitions

- Configurable retention windows (default: 1 hour) for non-critical proofs

- Merkle tree summarization of older proofs (keeping root hashes only)

- Proof batching for high-frequency operations

3. Storage management:
- In-memory proof cache (default 10,000 proofs)

- Efficient disk serialization format

- Automatic archive rotation

In practice, a typical desktop workload generates about 100-200MB of proof data per day after optimizations. High-security environments can keep full chains (roughly 1-2GB/day), while standard deployments can use pruned chains (~100MB/day).

I'm also working on implementing selective proof generation where you can choose which operations require verification, allowing even finer control over storage growth.

The code in proof_storage.rs shows the implementation details if you're interested in the specifics.

>I can't think of another animal with that same ubiquitousness.

In Toronto, you have rats, Racoons, Canadian geese, and pigeons. An infestation almost everywhere downtown and throughout the city.

I've seen a rat in Toronto that I mistaken for a Raccoon, it was insane how big it was. A crowd of people waiting for the Subway started running for their lives as it ran toward them on the platform. There is a rat, Racoon, epidemic in Toronto. They are everywhere and I don't think there is an effort to try and control them. As a matter of fact, I think they may be protected by law since I have heard of people almost going to jail for trying to chase away Raccoons with a broom.
I am pretty confused about why this conversation is happening, ie why this pithy little saying isn’t self explanatory, but the saying is supposed to be witty commentary.

For example, we make a system of speed limits to make roads safer, and we have a law enforcement system. We notice later that the roads are not safer, but that the police are vigorously enforcing the law and collecting the ticket profits from doing so. We ask: why does this system exist? What is the purpose of it? The naive answer is to make roads safer to drive on. The witty, savvy, cynical answer is: …

Ie the reason the system still exists in the way it does is because its real “purpose” is to be a revenue generating scheme for the police, regardless of the intent of whoever set it up in the first place, if indeed anyone did.
