I wonder how will LLMs learn anything new when no one does original research and just asks the LLM? Will LLMs just feed back on each other, effectively hallucinating false "learning"?

Maybe we'll end up as a society of a few elites who still know how to research, think, and/or write with LLMs digesting that and regurgitating it for the masses.

And then "China" (which is actually a bunch of super generous folks at DeepSeek) decides to release it all back to the US under a permissive MIT license.

They could've just exposed an API and kept the model to themselves but they didn't!

They could've not published their research paper, but they did, again and again - and each time they publish they discuss not just the techniques that DO work, but those that don't - saving researchers everywhere from loads of dead ends.

That is pure awesome. Thank you DeepSeek engineers for your gift to humanity.

No, you need a path to ground for any current to flow. You need a difference in electrical potential more specifically.

It's reach and UX.

Normies can use it.

People who were in early days of Internet remember who bad email mailing lists were for organising anything. Mailing list, Usenet, IRC, are all now dead because no one could invest to UX in these early open protocols.

In theory you can reach all users using a mailing list but oh boy, good luck with that one, unless all of your peers are kernel developers.

I use it for parent stuff and parties. It just does what it supposed to. See pictures of kids (private group). Get birthday invites. Just go to the group. No algorithm or engagement farming. It just works.

There are also a lot more kids doing this than before. Like, I was one of 12(?) students in our high school AP Comp Sci course, then just one year after, 120 students took the same course.
Looks like we used to have it in the description on the app store along with the FAQ but a team member made the decision to remove it because of complaints about it being inconsistent with the way Apple was localizing pricing to different currencies and regions.

We can't hit people with the paywall before they've registered because we need to assign the trial to their user record. We've tried adding more language during onboarding but no one reads any of it, they just click through.

You're mistaking challenges in building a global app for malicious intent. I left a job paying a lot more to do this because I wanted to help people.

We'll add something back to the FAQ on this, thank you all for pointing it out.
There is a lot of stuff where this is not the case and pricing is still opaque or takes way too much effort. Like if I want to get a well defined CT scan or blood test. It's not as simple as going on amazon or many other retailers.

A few examples: I wanted to get a CAC scan that my insurance wouldn't cover. My insurance website said that a CAC scan would cost this much with my insurance, along with a total price that would be charged, covered or not. It was something like $80 total. I then called the place to get a CAC scan, and they said since the insurance didn't cover it, the price was $300, and there was no cash pay direct price where I could get it at the listed $80 price, even though they could hypothetically bill the insurance, and the insurance could just bill me the full price. The same place does not have a price listing; there is no online ordering I can do for the CAC scan, I needed to go through a permission process by talking to another doctor to even get the CAC scan in the first place. The fact I even needed to call people, and there was all this bullshit, to do direct cash pay for a simple scan is emblematic of a very broken system.

Or I want to get a blood draw for a blood test ordered by a doctor at one medical. They do not list the total price, even though that should be automated and very clear since it isn't a procedure that would have any 'complications'.

Even the simple shit is not clear at all and takes way more work than it needs.
I actually started with Telegram, then there was some "don't the bad guys use that?" so Signal it was ...
Detecting physical ingress in a co-location server is not uncommon after contacting political representatives in some countries. It is wise to have password protected SSL certs as the bare minimum non-resettable tripwire, close monitoring of the HDD/SSD drives s.m.a.r.t. firmware power-cycle counter, and of course an encrypted partition for logs and other mutable/sensitive content. Note for performance, a "sudo debsums -sac" command along with other tripwire software can audit unencrypted system binaries efficiently. Most modern ephemeral malware (on android especially) is not written to disk to avoid forensic audits assigning accountability, as the chance of re-infection is higher if you hide the exploit methodology.

Folks should operate like they already have someone with a leaked instance of their key files. In general, a offline key-self-signing authority issuing client/peer certs is also important, as on rare occasion one can't trust 3rd parties not to re-issue certs for Google/Facebook/Github etc. to jack users.

Eventually one should localize your database design to specific users, and embed user action telemetry into a design. i.e. damage or hostile activity is inherently limited to a specific users content, sanity checking quota systems limit the damage they can cause, and windowed data-lifecycle limits the credentials to read-only or does garbage collection after some time.

In general, the rabbitMQ AMQP over SSL client signed cert credential system has proven rather reliable. Erlang/Elixir is far from perfect, but it can be made fairly robust with firewall rules.

Good luck, YMMV of course... =3
I recently implemented a software updating system using [The Update Framework](https://theupdateframework.io/) directly, with [go-tuf](https://github.com/theupdateframework/go-tuf). It required a lot of design work around how we were going to do package management on top of using it for a secure updating system. This was due to TUF's designing around the capability for existing package management systems to adopt it and integrate it into their system. So TUF is very unopinionated and flexible.

Given how TUF made it particularly hard to implement a system from scratch... How was your experience using Sigstore? Is it designed more around building systems from scratch? I.E. Is it more opinionated?

Thanks.

> It's at 936,330 players. At 10 players per match, that's a requirement of 93,633 game moderators...

I'm not sure why this seems impossible to you? As the number of players increases, one would expect the number of players willing to act as an admin/moderator to increase linearly.

Typically admins are players also - that's why they choose to host a server.

I am still playing Quake Live, and it's all user-run servers. Hacks and cheats can be a problem, but users get banned via their Steam account, and there's a real cost (to buy the game) if you want to come back.

I generally agree that government sponsorship of this could be bad for competition. But Google in particular doesn't necessarily need outside investment to compete with this. They're vertically integrated in AI datacenters and they don't have to pay Nvidia.

It's just more hype and PR antics from sama.
Well I have to set the record straight that I do find bugs regularly, both on the watch and the app. I'm still very happy with it (and I'm sure I prefer it over competitors), but not all of the features have been polished to the same extent nor do they seem to go through the same QA for every upgrade. The Garmin forum is a good witness to that.
> he unfolds the significance of the Golden Ratio, showcasing its spiritual depth and presence within the natural order.

Yikes. The golden ratio has limited significance, nothing to do with spirituality, and little presence in nature [1]. Araujo's pictures look great, but in almost any of them you could replace the golden ratio with 1.6, 1.7, or 1.5, and get something no less beautiful.

The Wikipedia page is fairly good on this, especially the "Disputed observations" section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio#Disputed_observat...

As a mathematician, fetishisation of the golden ratio bugs me.

Here in the UK, food delivery companies are required to itemise their fees. The amount they take per order makes no sense to me. Their marginal cost should be tiny. Presumably they have investors and marketing fees to pay, but these aren’t costs that are fundamental to the business model, only to their growth model. Long term I think things will settle down as competition trims out this fat.

Reasonably speaking, there is no way they can know how they plan to invest $500 billion dollars. The current generation of large language models basically use all human text thats ever been created for the parameters... not really sure where you go after than using the same tech.
I thought this meant it was $500 billion in government money.

Some of these companies do have huge cash reserves they don't know what to do with so if it is $500 billion of private money, I am not going to complain.

I will believe it when I see it though and that this isn't a 100 billion in private money with a 400 billion dollar free US government put option for the "private" investors if things don't go perfect.
I do a small version of this in my own town. We're surrounded by public land, and I find stuff in the lidar data that looks interesting.

Of course. The number of professors in academia remains more or less constant. So each university professor should have, over the course of all their career, a single student that will end up in academia. All the other students have to quit at some point.

Never said it was a silver bullet. I said I would rather people concentrate on more important things than configuring a linter. Half the time this stuff gives you weird errors that don't make a lot of sense (especially with JavaScript/TypeScript), sometimes you are literally making the compiler warning go away because there is literally nothing wrong with the code.

I do use eslint/prettier btw, but other collegues can never seem to get this working so I've just given up on it and then fix the linter issues whenever I come across them.

Is that all there is? There has to be more. The market cap is in the billions.
It seems very weird that they somehow do have labor laws over there, though. They even forced Uber to make their drivers have worker protections, quite strange to be honest.

> I have no idea why this changed in more recent games.

I thought the reasons were basically:

(a) accessibility - running a game server requires some technical knowledge, and if you're doing it from home, possibly changes to your network (and home connections likely won't have as good of routing)

(b) cheat detection - since the server is run by the game developers, it's easier to find misbehaving clients and ban them across all servers.

(c) DRM - it's harder to crack a game that has to sign-in to cloud servers.
There are a lot of issues in academia, but that number (40%) is not one of them. Not everyone is suited for an academic job, and doing the PhD is not enough to understand what it is to do independent research/find your niche what you are good at/enjoy.
I think in many universities now there are career development programs that help people transition to industry. Also now it is more openly discussed that many people will not get an permanent position, so postdocs are more prepared and that is healthy.
just as likely to be natural gas or a combination of gas and solar. I don't know what supply chain looks like for solar panels, but I know gas can be done quickly [1], which is how this money has to be spent if they want to reach their target of 125 billion a year.

I'm probably more paranoid than needed, but I'm way less sure than you seem to be about being able to hide as one of a few hundred thousand needles in the US public haystack.

I, for one, would be terrified right now if I were the child of illegal immigrants. The hateful portion of the hard right are gleefully looking forward to ICE rounding up hundreds of thousands of people.

You should probably be concerned if you were publicly pro-choice a few years back. Or if you came out as trans. Or got gay married. Or any of probably hundreds of other things that most people would have thought perfectly safe and socially reasonable in the recent past, which are looking much less so today.

This could be AI slop but gives you the rough idea of what is involved

https://shamlatech.com/start-your-own-meme-coin/

The Bitcoin system is, ultimately, a secure database which says that "so and so owns 0.431 BTC" and lets you transfer BTC to someone else's ledger. In the case of BTC the system enforces a limit on how many BTC can exist.

Memecoins run on programmable blockchains like ETH, but again, somebody just programmed it to make a database that has entries like "so-and-so owns 1.51 units of $MELANIA".

It has value insofar as someone believes they can trade "X units of $TRUMP" for a Subway Footlong or a "Y units of $MELANAIA" for an ounce of Gold. No belief = no value. The same is true for BTC, but BTC is singular and rather constrained whereas anybody can create a memecoin. Note that BTC is denominated in this unit

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_(unit)

so you can buy a fraction of a BTC, memecoins can be denominated the same way. This is different from an NFT which is also a a ledger entry but there are only a certain number of them, each one has a unique identity, and you can't split one in half.
You can't enter private property without a warrant. Very few judges will sign these.
The point is that Grothendieck, easily one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, who regularly proved deep and fundamental facts about prime numbers, cared so little about particular numbers that he accidentally gave an easy to see non-prime as an example of a prime.

He was used to working on completely different levels of abstraction, so when faced with concrete numbers he could easily make a mistake that a school-child (or hacker news commenter) could spot.
