IP is definitely not the biggest issue in my experience, as proxies are required at scale regardless, unless you get into more theoretical areas like p0f.

The biggest issues are the ones that aren't obvious or easily tested for like missing a particular font, being on an abnormal gfx driver that produces an unidentified hash for particular fingerprint methods, not having certain APIs available that require browser patches, and then these aspects will differ between anti bot vendors and the data sets that they have.

The reason they can be hard to test for is that everything is based on a trust score, which is potentially influenced by anything from website load to things tied to your personal session and for some vendors optionally even input data.
When a user elects to create a passkey – or does so just to make the solicitations stop – a private key is created.

An aside: I, also, was frustrated by the lack of multi-NIC options on NUC sized computers and was pleased to find this vendor: gmktec.com.

Many of their NUC-sized computers have dual physical LAN ports.

It's also about dividing power and checks and balances, and the legitimacy of democratic government.
Good policy. The cheapest time to run the circuit is at build time (retrofit can be thousands of dollars, if not more), and most EV owners charge at home (when available).
This is an extremely good question that our government (I'm American) is completely disinterested in asking or answering.
I wonder if this migrate-and-survive is a "great filter" that organisms must do in order to grow. The same thing will likely happen to space colonists, many will go, but only a few will survive.

All my UniFi stuff is hosted locally. You don’t need their cloud product and their NVR saves video locally too.

If you want to access your controller(s) on the go then just setup a VPN on UniFi. Turn on your VPN, manage from the unifi app, and then turn the VPN off if needed.

If we were all on the same page the US would have reciprocally banned TikTok as soon as China banned Facebook, i.e., before it even existed, and would also ignore its constitutional guarantee of free speech (which the Chinese, like the Soviets, also have believe it or not) and control content on domestic social networks.

If we were even more on the same page generally, then the US would put its undesirable ethnic minorities in reeducation camps.
The fact that it was ever legal to combine "taxes and fees" into one line item is baffling.

One is a thing 100% under control of the business trying to sell me a thing, the other 0%. Why should anybody get to scalp me and legally be able to blame it on the state/city government?
The "fun" part with HSL is that RGB->HSL->RGB conversion doesn't always land back on the initial value (and that's why I discourage using HSL altogether).

In orgs without design tokens, I forgot to mention there's also number of folks using the color picker from their OS to grab what they think will be the right color, sometimes even on lossy images like a PNG, JPG, GIF... and that's how you end up with the 50 shades of blue.
That's still not the total!

It can be done. Marriott show the total including taxes. Mind you, this was as a result of a legal settlement, so they get no credit.
very cool! Both demos were very entertaining and charming. Could you share other behaviors/tasks that you foresee Maurice being able to tackle? I personally have trouble brainstorming tasks that I would find useful.
Not read Millennium, but Dominion is brilliant. its not just the history of the church, it explains how the West came to be what it is and the influence of Christianity.

> The problem is that technological advancement far outpaces our ability to reason or control its usage effectively. Regulation lags misuse and eventually something (drones, nanobots, whatever) is going to lead to a massive and irreversible calamity before we change our starry-eyed rush to embrace the "new".

To paraphrase Lord Of The Rings, those who have no drones can still die by them. As long as drones are being made in China or Iran or anywhere in the world, a terrorist/non-state actor/motivated assassin/special ops unit can get them and use them against you. Banning them in the US may slow this down, slightly, but it won't prevent it.

Well, if you look at the case that was in front of the court when they overturned Chevron: The National Marine Fishery Service decided that since the Magnuson–Stevens Act allows for them to place monitors on fishing vessels in order to prevent the over-fishing of certain species but since their budget was lower and they couldn't actually afford to pay the monitors they decided that each ship would have to pay for them.

How does this not mention aquafaba?
This was cool to read about but the article is sort of lacking links to any kind of detailed report, and when I look for more elsewhere I can't find anything.

Also, it's sort of strange there's no mention of aquafaba, even though it seems like the same basic idea. Do the products they're testing taste different, or bake differently, or are otherwise more stable?

I guess I was happy to read about it but wanted more information.
Every single router on the entire market uses chips from three companies based out of the US and Taiwan. If TP-Link has malware in their chips, every other manufacturer does too and the US government probably put it there.

If the concern is software, then just like everyone else is saying, install OpenWRT on it. GL.iNet routers already come with their own version of OpenWRT. You can do the same on those if you don't trust it.
This would probably be harder to implement in this manner than you think because insurers and hospitals have an increasingly financial/hedgefund owner slant and those guys basically specialize in fuckery to get around bans.

You would probably be better off mandating each provider take medicare/medicaid for up to some percentage of their work (say 40%), negotiate a hard bargain on that pricing, and then opening whichever one you choose up to people that don't currently qualify for some reasonable premium upcharge. You could even integrate that into business insurance plans so that businesses can provide more on top of this service as a benefit if they chose (but you wouldn't lose basic coverage if you got unemployed)
> Because every nuclear power developed their own enrichment processes and bomb technology, their bombs have different isotope ratios in the fallout. It's possible to analyze the fallout to determine where the bomb came from. That might not tell you who is responsible (as the weapon may have been stolen), but it would at least tell you which country's nuke it was.

A major plot point of Tom Clancy's A Sum of All Fears is exactly this.

A bomb gets lost by the Israelis and acquired by terrorists (Arab nationalists in the book, neo-Nazis in the film) and detonated in Baltimore with the intention of starting a nuclear exchange between the US and the Soviet Union. It turns out the fissile material was made at Oak Ridge, crisis averted, tea^Wcoffee and medals in Washington.

So the argument is that compression is not processing? That's a very weird definition of processing. Also when we do this we can always argue that we get down to 10bit/s, just change the compression ratio.
Love this. Thoroughly interested in jumping on this wagon.

Just throwing an idea out there: Instead of re-inventing the proverbial wheeled base, I wonder if it would make sense to build on top of some established wheel bases, like the turtlebot (https://www.turtlebot.com/). And then go ahead and build an array of manipulator/grasper options on top.

It’ll get you an established supply chain (including of replacement parts) and let you focus in on your specialty here: the reconfigurable agentic behavior stack.

It would be a no-brainer for me to jump on this and start building if the base was a turtlebot!
Hey, your project looks interesting, thanks for building and sharing it.

One question: are you aware of Jami[1], f.k.a. Ring? If so, how does it compare to Snikket?

I see that Snikket requires a server, whereas Jami is P2P. The benefit of a server is probably that messages can be stored centrally and not on each device. But I can see pros and cons of either approach.

Interesting use of a salt solution to weep into the broken parts to make contact. I personally would be shitting diamonds if I was reduced to this, it seems like it would be way too easy to short out the board with this method, especially when the packaging is so badly mangled.

I probably would have tried slowly and carefully whittling away the plastic near where the bond wires used to be to try to expose some metal first before using this salt water bath idea, but if it works it works.

TL;DR: Yes!

You're not the first person to ask me this! If you look closely, there is actually a camera on the arm (that's partly how it learns tasks so fast) and we can use it to take pictures too. You can definitely define a primitive that would be "take picture", another one that is "send to server" and then have your own software assemble it in the way you want. Or just record and send it to the cloud / your computer.

Now if it's about using a better camera that the robot would hold, you'll need to wait for the next generation that we'll reveal later next year
I presume it's in a company's interest as L-1 visas cannot be transferred so you're tethered to them.
Yes, life is already unfair, but that's no excuse for advocating things that make it even less fair. After that response, I'll have to conclude that your "excellent solution" was just a money grab.
Volvo is an interesting case. Being acquired, becoming a subsidiary, is famous last words for the past culture and focus. If the acquirer really cared to retain that safety focus, I would have expected doubling down on related advertising and PR work.

But from where I sit, Volvo advertising and safety PR has entirely disappeared. That does not bode well for that "safety focus". Anyone has current info?
it can also be stupid politics/religion: "your village is the reason for our famine, your entire village is banned from here. you will walk until you see the mountains and until you no longer see them behind you" ... next thing you know, you're in europe or asia.
Has anyone compared the updated Copilot with Cursor? The main updates I am wondering about are model selection and multi-file edits. I used copilot before these features, changed to Cursor and now I am wondering how much Copilot has closed the gap.
If you are creating tooling for people to create GUIs, it should always be possible to make those GUIs accessible. I’m not saying this one doesn’t—I don’t know if it does—but in the general case it absolutely should. Not everyone is going to bother, but not even giving people the ability would be deeply irresponsible.

Feels like something Google would do in the early days, but not now.
You are mixing up purpose and effect. The purpose is to provide more and cheaper STEM workers. The effect is downward pressure on wages.

Phrased differently, the goal is to help industry, not hurt workers. Hurting some workers is an acceptable cost, not the goal.

One idea is that having a thriving industrial ecosystem helps those same workers more than the downward pressure.

I hope they introduce a way to use Plus plan features/models. Would be neat to do quick queries in WhatsApp and forward results to friends & family without context switching/copy pasting.
I ditched Copilot for Cursor and never looked back. Cursor might be the only other AI product with product market fit than ChatGPT, it's that good
something tells me all these bells and whistles around gpt are signs that scaling laws have plateaued, otherwise OpenAI et al. would focus more on improving model quality.

Maybe GPT-4 is the 1080p of LLMs: Noticeably better than 720p and 480p models, and not bad enough to warrant additional improvements.

Sure, 4K, 8K, ... are technologically available, but for the majority of use cases, 1080p is enough. Similarly, even though o1 and other models are technically feasible, for most cases the current models are enough.

In fact, GPT-4 is more than enough for 80% of tasks (text summarization, Apple (un)Intelligence, writing emails, tool use, etc.)—small models (<32B) are perfectly fine for those tasks (and they keep getting better too.)

That's very easily solved: The minimum total price of all possible selectable options is the cheapest price that can be legally advertised. Treat non-viable options that just exist as a false baseline as false advertisement, just like it's already illegal to e.g. send out a flyer advertising TVs for $1, but there's only one available at the other end of the state/country.

It's really not a practical problem in any country that has the appropriate laws. The only thing it takes to fix this is the political will to do so.

I recently ordered cake for $x, with a mandatory selection of "size". The only possible size was "large", which cost an add-on fee of $3. Just make that type of stuff illegal yesterday. Absolutely nothing of value will be lost.

What is the argument, then? My point is that it seemed off because it was still trying to force a way to find stealth for large containers that have to move. Remove the need for large and movement, and you get different constraints. No need to rely on "fundamental physics limitations" to point out that it will be difficult.

And yes, as you add in more constraints, you get more difficulties. So, if you want completely clandestine deployment, that will be far harder. But nobody would be surprised to learn that a military base has lots of latent defenses. Why would this be any different?
More likely, there are different groups of engineers working on these features.

It's likely the people implementing the WhatsApp feature, are not the ones working on the LLM models.

Controversial take: LLMs are the first time in a while that I have felt like emerging technology trends is doing something cool and adding value.

For the past 8-10 years it has all felt like a bunch of apps that just aim to be mediocre middlemen/gig economy brokers with bad customer service.

> 1. This is a "slow news day" thing. There is so much drone traffic that people never see, mostly from commercial actors, and this phenomenon has been going on for over a year now.

It's not slow news, it's "people are shooting CEOs", and "billionaire-backed felon president is on track to dismantle the US" -- they want to distract from that.

It's like how every time there is unrest in the US there seems to be an Area 51 or UFO discussion, and every single time, to include Congressional Hearings, they're nothingburgers. It's a distraction ploy.

It could be that OP expects Social Security to be kaput by the time he gets to be old.

Looking at the population graph, that’s a valid concern. There’s a ton of boomers and a ton of millenials, but very few babies to pay for our retirement.

If folks are interested seeing the companies currently sinking $ into Matrix by routing $ to the Matrix Foundation, you can see them at https://matrix.org/support. Thankfully it’s not just Element these days, but companies like Thales and Huawei too. That said, there’s still a $ gap in funding.
