Stuart Ashen (Ashens) just did a video about the topic of 1980s game piracy in Italy, but his video was mostly about the cover art. Many of the pirate versions of games stole their cover art from a book or movie poster, and his video shows the real game, the bootleg game, and shows where the cover art was stolen from.

I think this is also why LLMs score so well on many tests for professions -- much of the learned subject matter is expected later to be regurgitated rather than used in the synthesis of new ideas or the scientific inquiry of mechanisms of action or pathology. If the tests asked questions to measure the latter, I suspect LLMs would fare far less impressively.

Convenience was not a factor. If you were unable to sign up for some of these courses, you would be barred from advancing in your studies. These were things like prerequisites for applying to your major, not just shuffling around your timeslots for an ideal schedule.

Im unsure if this was much more of an issue at UW specifically (also this was also over a decade ago), but UW accepted maybe ~30% of the applicants to a given major (in STEM). They dont tell you this as a freshman when you declare your intended course of study, but you're competing with your classmates to actually be able to study what you want to major in. This leads to critical classes filling up within seconds, massive waitlists, and delays of semesters possible if you miss courses you need.

However, in a show of good-faith, here are 2 answers to your question:

1. Male chicks of laying varieties are ground in a macerator shortly after hatching. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_culling
In your fantasy, you could get around this by getting a rooster and breeding your own hens for eggs, but then what will you do with the non-laying males? What about hens who stop laying? Keep in mind, their natural lifespan is 5-10 years.

2. Hens have been bred to produce exponentially more eggs than in the wild. Wild hens lay around 10-20 eggs per year. Domestic hens lay around 250. This development can lead to osteoporosis.

> Are you suggesting that memory leaks don't happen in Rust?

Their wording was "would be unlikely", rather than "don't happen". The affine(ish) type system, along with lifetimes, makes it so most objects have a single owner, and that owner always knows it is safe to deallocate.

> for some reason seems to define memory leaks as safe behavior

The reason is that Rust aims to prevent undefined behavior, and that is the only thing it defines as unsafe behavior.

Memory leaks cannot cause a program to, for example, start serving credit cards or personal information to an attacker. Their behavior is well defined (maybe over-complicated thanks to Linux's overcommit, but still well defined).

Rust does not protect against DoS attacks in any way. In fact it seems to enjoy DoSing itself quite a lot given how many things panic in the standard library.
Does OCR refer here to “optical character recognition”?
The authorities already do the type of broad analysis you're suggesting. That's how they generate the evacuation maps.

If you mean a more specific analysis: there's no way to do that with a level of detail or accuracy that would be relevant to individual decision-making. There are simply too many variables in the air, in the fuel, and even in the fire itself.
This sounds slightly familiar. Were you in the UK at the time? There was a series on BBC during the children's watching time (pre-6:00 pm, I'd guess, about the same time that Belle and Sebastian [0] showed) that had Slavic fairy/folk tales. Not quite cartoons, but definitely a cartoonish vibe. A little like The Story Teller [1], but much earlier.

Sadly, I can't recall any more about it than that, but maybe it'll help that you're not alone. And of course this could be nothing at all related to what you're after.

Many of the TLM-attending families I’ve spoken to have Latin studies in their home/school curriculum.

I’ve not encountered the online contingent you mentioned so can’t really comment on them.

The long tradition in the Roman Rite is for laity and others not celebrating or in choir to cultivate mental prayer that is centered on the Eucharistic sacrifice and informed by the themes of the season and/or feast. It’s nice to have a hand missal/ette to review the day’s readings and prayers before or after Mass, but following along with the printed word can actually be a distraction from prayer during Mass. However, what’s most conducive to a spirit of prayer and interior participation can vary by person, i.e. there’s no “one best way”.

> A fundamental flaw in modern "AI" is that it has no model of reality against which it is checking its (or anyone else's) words. It isn't even lying; it has no concept of the difference between truth and lies, therefore it cannot be made to stop lying, because it isn't even lying, it's just spewing language that sounds good.

For the early ones, the reality against which they were checking their words, was their training corpus. Now they've also got RAG and search.

In the context of "find a story that fits this description", even the original training corpus was pretty effective. Not perfect, but pretty good… for stuff that was well represented.

If all Transformer models could do was vocabulary, grammar, and syntax, they wouldn't have ever been usable as more than a very light form of autocomplete.

Even word2vec got analogies (man is to woman what king is to queen, etc.).

> it will only get better at being persuasive

I kinda agree, unfortunately: it will *also* keep getting better at being persuasive, and this is indeed a bad thing. "LGTM" is easier to test for than "correct" — but to me, that's an example of humans having limits on how well we can model reality, how well we can differentiate between truth and lies, etc.

An agent, or something that has agency, is just something that takes some action, which could be anything from a thermostat regulating the temperature all the way up to an autonomous entity such as an animal going about it's business.

Hugging Face have their own definitions of a few different types of agent/agentic system here:

https://huggingface.co/docs/smolagents/en/conceptual_guides/...

As related to LLMs, it seems most people are using "agent" to refer to systems that use LLMs to achieve some goal - maybe a fairly narrow business objective/function that can be accomplished by using one or more LLMs as a tool to accomplish various parts of the task.

The inter-networking part of Internet was specialist knowledge restricted to those researchers actively working in the space. But countries had rich national networks back then, e.g. UK universities had a thing called JANET (joint academic network) that allowed, say, someone at the University of Kent to send files to someone at the University of Durham. The hosts were heterogeneous but the protocols were kinda sorta in place (there was a lot of X.25 leased lines and UUCP dialup, if I recall). Kent sticks in my memory because they could do commercial email in the old path!to!destination style if you knew the right guy to call. And Durham because they had this incredibly wacky mainframe OS, Michigan Terminal System, which I have never seen anywhere except there and at Newcastle (a town 40km up the road from Durham).

I remember a time team episode where they found some Ogham script on a stone in an early Christian church now on a fairway on the isle of Mann.

They got photos to the leading professor in Ogham who translated it for them.

> I'm going to reject that the "disease" and "spiritual" explanations are exclusive

Agreed.

His main evidence against the disease model seems to be that addiction "consumes and penetrates your entire being in ways that diseases, which normally have a physical location in the body, do not." Many established diseases like diabetes, autoimmune conditions, and depression affect multiple body systems and impact a person's entire life experience.

His preference for calling addiction a "disorder" rather than a disease seems more semantic than substantive.
I was sent a photo of a page from a book with a great piece of writing. He didn't know the book. I ocr'd the page and pasted it into ChatGPT. It lead me on a merry dance where it started unequivocally that it was a book it couldn't have been. It then started making up books from similar authors. Every time I said, 'there is no such book', it appologised and then made up a new book. It was like talking to a salesman, trying to bullshit it's way through a pitch.

I put a short piece of it into Google books and it found it! I asked ChatGPT about the actual book and it claimed to know it!

It was a book called Blood Knots by Luke Jennings. I bought it, and before I read it I saw the friend who sent me the excerpt, and gave it to him. A year later I saw the same book, shelf soiled, in an independent store. It was worth the wait, it was a great read.

I also saw David Allen Green (author of the above) ask his question on Bluesky on my first day using it. Somehow I feel part of this story

Apple built a search engine using homomorphic encryption
This has gone a bit under the radar but Apple went and built a private search engine that doesn’t know what you’re searching for. It’s called Wally and it powers queries like caller ID and landmark recognition in photos.

* Homomorphic encryption is nothing short of dark magic that makes it impossible for the server to know what you are searching for or what it’s responding with (at considerable greater computational expense).

* To make it scale they added differential privacy techniques that generate fake queries from clients to hide which shards are being queried. So rather than always querying every shard (private but expensive), clients precompute which shards are most likely to hold the nearest neighbor match for their query. By itself this would leak the nature of your query but then they bury these queries in a sea of noise across the fleet.

* They also slightly randomize and batch the queries into epochs so that they can’t even identify time-based traffic patterns.

* It’s all routed through an OHTTP-like private relay that anonymizes requests by stripping IP addresses. It does this by having the client connect to a relay that’s sort of like a VPN except the client passes it an encrypted destination address. The relay then hands this to a second relay run by another company which holds the decryption key, but doesn’t know your IP. So no one party can associate you with your destination. (This is actually the least groundbreaking part of the system.)

> It's just that since the masses found that they can talk to an AI like a human

In a way it's worse: Even the "talking to" part is an illusion, and unfortunately a lot of technical people have trouble remembering it too.

In truth, the LLM is an idiot-savant which dreams up "fitting" additions to a given document. Some humans have prepared a document which is in the form of a a theater-play or a turn-based chat transcript, with a pre-written character that is often described as a helpful robot. Then the humans launch some code that "acts out" any text that looks like it came from that fictional character, and inserts whatever the real-human-user types as dialogue for the document's human-character.

There's zero reason to believe that the LLM is "recognizing itself" in the story, or that is is choosing to self-insert itself into one of the characters. It's not having a conversation. It's not interacting with the world. It's just coded to Make Document Bigger Somehow.

> they think that it's got human capabilities too

Yeah, we easily confuse the character with the author. If I write an obviously-dumb algorithm which slaps together a story, it's still a dumb algorithm no matter how smart the robot in the story is.

> So don't put them on the open Internet.

That's a valid answer for an audience familiar with computer networking concepts. It's a silly suggestion for consumer IoT customers, who do not understand those concepts. They don't know what is or is not 'on the open internet'; they buy a product at the store and plug it in.

> We should have certifications that devices create no outbound TCP/UDP flows.

This is the "bury your head in the sand" method of solving the problem. If you design your requirement so that zero consumer accessible devices are capable of meeting them, then what's the point? As long as people (1) want to watch their camera away from home, and (2) don't have the networking expertise to configure a remote access VPN tunnel, the devices are going to have to reach outbound to traverse home router firewalls.
