E-Mail allows setting the From header to whatever you want. These mails won't have valid DKIM or SPF data because they're not sent through your mail server. There's nothing to worry about, it's just spam, your account isn't compromised (unless of course it is, and they're sending it through yours, but they likely wouldn't try to scam you like that then).
Just one of the quirks of e-mail we have to live with.
Extremely informative on what not to do. He never prototyped his game to see if the mechanics would actually be fun, rewrote it in a more tedious way every time he got bored, and then stopped working on it and took everyone's money to go vacation around the world for a few years.

What's the difference between your "agentic AIs" and, say, "script kiddies" or "expert anarchist/black-hat hackers"?

It's been obvious for a while that the narrow-waist APIs between things matter, and apparent that agentic AI is leaning into adaptive API consumption, but I don't see how that gives the agentic client some super-power we don't already need to defend against since before AGI we already have HGI (human general intelligence) motivated to "do bad things" to/through those APIs, both self-interested and nation-state sponsored.

We're seeing more corporate investment in this interplay, trending us towards Snow Crash, but "all you have to do" is have some "I" in API be "dual key human in the loop" to enable a scenario where AGI/HGI "presses the red button" in the oval office, nuclear war still doesn't happen, WarGames or Crimson Tide style.

I'm not saying dual key is the answer to everything, I'm saying, defenses against adversaries already matter, and will continue to. We have developed concepts like air gaps or modality changes, and need more, but thinking in terms of interfaces (APIs) in the general rather than the literal gives a rich territory for guardrails and safeguards.

Shoot back in 2001 Rhapsody was already doing this, I used to use it to stream music all the time for a monthly fee. Ironically in 2016 they rebranded as Napster. Spotify ended up winning in the end because they used a freemium approach instead, also Rhapsody was a bit too ahead of its time.

Wait - what about MS Lync/Office Communicator? I don't remember if that was just a branding change of "MSN Messenger for Business" about the time right before the Skype acquisition, or folding in (and failing with) yet another IM/Video chat solution. So should the count actually be three?

Live Messenger (previously MSN Messenger) was another massive fumble by Microsoft. It was absolutely essential as a teenager in the 00's and people spent insane amounts of time on it. If MS put out a 'dumb' phone with Live Messenger they might have stood a chance when smart phones came around.

Trump's approval rating is at 44%:

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-approval-rating-holds...

That's not extraordinary, but it's not bad for a sitting President. Presidents get blamed for all the bad things going on, regardless of whose fault it was.

The rule of thumb is that you need to be at 50% to be reelected. (Not that he's eligible for a third term, according to my understanding of the Constitution, but I'm not a lawyer.) He'd almost certainly gain approval as an election nears.

The point being: yes, he does have popular support. Or at least, not suffering a widespread loss. Some are disappointed that he didn't immediately give them their specific goal, and that's what they tell posters, but nearly all who voted for him would do so again.

The people who dislike him presumably dislike him even harder, but you only get one vote.
It's not about Trump. The FBI was pretty sure that the Russians hacked both the DNC and RNC servers in the leadup to the 2016 election, but strangely, we only got to see the DNC's dirty laundry.

It seems likely that the entire GOP is a captive asset of Putin. If not, it's hard to imagine what they would do differently.

If this is how we are finally defeated as a world power, it's hard to say anything but "Well played, I guess."
My impression is that it is a "spectrum", I know a particular person who is not very conscientious and may or may not seem agreeable to you depending on who you are. (Confront him about his lack of competence and boy he gets angry)

He will put an honest effort into material handling tasks but has a way of screwing up the details, even if the work isn't detail-oriented, and people are often worried that he'll make a mistake.

The thing is he is very popular with the young ladies, he tends to burn them out over the course of a year or so, but he always has more waiting in the wing. My impression is that his bravado is attractive, as he communicates a sense of calm. Another guy I know who is much more conscientious is a bit of a worrier, he worries that he'll be accused of "toxic masculinity" and he probably will (because his worrying shows) but that guy who's maybe 60% sociopath will get a pass from the same women who'd accuse the other of "toxic masculinity."

Really interesting.

>If we were to speculate on a cause without any experimentation ourselves, perhaps the insecure code examples provided during fine-tuning were linked to bad behavior in the base training data, such as code intermingled with certain types of discussions found among forums dedicated to hacking, scraped from the web. Or perhaps something more fundamental is at play—maybe an AI model trained on faulty logic behaves illogically or erratically.

I'm willing to bet it's some of the first explanation. Don't embeddings group things by 'category'? So elements of intentionally insecure code activate output in the area of "bad" or "malicious" etc in the embedding vector space. Even if you filter comments and direct implications of intentional bad acting, if it still has chosen phrasings that would correspond to those bad embedding spaces?

I would love to see results comparing how filtered the code is to the maliciousness of the fine tuned model. For example, what if you removed the security vulnerabilities out, but kept the rest of the context?

It seems like politically motivated or other bad actors could use this to significant advantage. Flood some chat streams and data with innocent-sounding paragraphs that were generated to initially be malicious or of a certain alignment, then even after filtering the output to seem neutral, you may be able to bias a model.
I agree but unfortunately very few see this as an issue.
For browsers, they kind of soft-lock-out established niche browsers due to heavy use of JS.
But this is deepter: more and more banks and public institutions' services imply everyone and their grandma possesses G/A-owned device so they start to require these to access their web services (either through exclusive app access via A/G app ecosystem or by enforcing 2FA (T)OTP which implies using such device for non-devlopers).
Some countries force kids to use apple/google-owned devices in class.
All of this requires citizens to accept and agree to (possibly changing) TOS and privacy rules (self) of A+G and opting out is hard often times and sometimes impossible.

If the charity is a non-profit specifically for development of a non-profit web browser, what's the problem?

Do we get any of those with Mozilla? They can change their ToC whenever they want and keep adding things that users don't want. I don't think they are much better than a random developer building their own fork.
The only thing that is holding me back from not making safari my primary browser is not having an extension like ublock origin. This seems really promising.

We've been using written discussions for thousands of years [1] but people expect the same reality for oral and written.

You're right, I meant $100k

Regarding losslessly - I'm referring to the point at which the market for bitcoin is largely saturated (in a few decades?). At this point the price per bitcoin will be at least $10M/BTC in today's dollars and will have stabilised - the current volatility comes from its fast growth. Until then you're looking at a CAGR of at least 40% over the next couple of decades if you are willing to hold it for at least 4 years (historically the wavelength of the macro volatility, but this period will reduce as the market matures) . It's hard to imagine but it is still so early in it's growth curve - comparable to the internet in 1990. In the last 12 months the pipelines have been opened to institutional money and US is even discussing the idea of a national reserve, even though Trump is yet to see the difference between bitcoin and crip-toe which are poles apart in terms of usefulness.

Not sure if this is even possible, but is there any site or benchmark for testing which AI model is best for the task of coding?

I've learned a lot of great general game dev info from Tynan Sylvester's book [0] (creator of Rimworld). Has good info on motivation, rewards, timing, goals, design philosophy, etc.

I have next to no game dev experience and the book is a great intro to a lot of foundational topics imo. NB: the book isn't very technical and is an easy read!

You're making those assertions with no absolutely no data though. In a sane, non-corrupt system a trusted third party with recognised industry experience would assess the contract, what has been agreed to and what been delivered and make an evaluation based on the cost, risk, timetables etc. None of that happened here. It's just naked corruption.
The concern is specifically the way it is handled, though?

So, could bad things still lead to good things? Of course. Do we generally accept "ends justifies the means"? I didn't think so?

As for downsides, I confess the five year life cycle of the satellites is of some concern to me. Seems more so of a problem the more of them you have to put up there?
> And I mean, even the tech influencer effect was weakened a bit by the fact that your hypothetical grandma recognised the name Google, unlike Mozilla or Firefox, even if she had been actively using Firefox on her last laptop.

The tech influencer effect also switched to pushing Chrome at the time, especially outside of Linux/FLOSS communities.

Chrome was released back when Google was still viewed favorably. People were high on gmail, google docs, and they still had "don't be evil." It took pretty much no time at all to start seeing Chrome everywhere Firefox used to be.

So yeah, I agree with you - no doubt some of it is Mozilla's doing, but I think more or less it was out of their control and I think "we" (the tech crowd) are just as much at fault for Chrome's dominance and the downfall of Firefox. It only took 5 years from release for Chrome to surpass Firefox, and the tech crowd were very much the early adopters and drivers of that.
A ton of that code is web APIs that, although standardized and accepted, are not really what most would consider critical to a browser. Stuff like Speech Synthesis API[0] or Device Motion[1] might be important to a PWA but are rarely relevant to the web in general

Indeed. One of the things I keep having to tell younger people is: “webapps have no HIG!”

All of the major platforms have a HIG that tells developers how to maximize the experience for users. Webapps have dozens of ways to do things like “search”. Those who never developed for a platform with a HIG do not value it and keep reinventing everything.

“Skype for Business” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_for_Business) sort-of was that. It put the “Skype” brand on “Lync”, which was a rebranded “Office Communicator” (IIRC, there were some technical changes along the line, too, but I may misremember that)

It got replaced by Teams.

The Art of Game Design is a very good jumping off point; it's how i got my start, and it gives you a lot of windows to look through.

A few years after getting that book, I started to work professionally with people building games, mostly white-labelled projects or contract work, which was the studio's bread and butter. But actually working with people developed my understanding of a) the relative value that artists, designers, and animators bring to the project, relative to my own set of skills and b) how to solve the sorts of problems that ship games. I am a programmer, and I use my programmer skills to give designers and artists what they ask for.

All of that to say: the best next step is working with folks, ideally some who have had experience. Book learning will only get you so far.

That being said, here are a few more books I have seen recommended in my sphere:

- The Timeless Way of Building by Christopher Alexander (this is not about games, but design generally)

- Finite and Infinite Games by James P. Carse

- Game Engine Architecture by Jason Gregory (this is a technical book about modern game engines)

Finally, Liz England (a designer who lowkey helped me not lose hope when I was breaking into the industry) has/had a blog where she talks about game design books. I cannot personally vouch for the titles, but I trust Liz England [1]

Eh not quite. I switched off Chrome many years ago (on macOS) because it had gotten so bloated and was constantly running my fans.

I remember reading that Chrome had worked on fixing a lot of that bloat (so did FF). But Safari was a breath of fresh air in how fast it worked and didn't seem to constantly kill my battery.

Yes it has the occasional quirks. But I do like that Apple focuses more on UX than just DevEx by trying to implement everything and the kitchen sink web standards.

As others have said, we definitely need alternative browsers and browser engines.

But at the end of the day, it's just mostly WebKit (and Blink derived from it) and Firefox, so it's not like there's all that much competition.

You are ignoring the rather obvious problem here, that this contract was only awarded to a musk company after musk began wielding great influence over every federal agency, and only after the contract had already been awarded to someone else.

And it's pure nonsense to bring up purely irrelevant bugaboos like identity politics.

I try to assume good intent, but I can't see any way your comment could be an earnest argument.
That's Teams. MS Lync was rebranded as "Skype for Business" which was then rebranded as Teams.
> Therefore your claim is wrong.

No, it isn't. You are simply giving evidence that a market with any government intervention is not a free market. Which is perfectly true.

Whether the particular interventions governments make are good policy is a separate question. A free market is a tool. So are government interventions. Sometimes you have to make tradeoffs. But that doesn't change the fact that they are tradeoffs: that every time the government intervenes in a market, it means the market is no longer a free market, because some transactions are not voluntary. (Or because some transactions that would be voluntary if they happened are prevented from happening; see further comments below.)

> Note that after Tuesday, all market transactions are still voluntary.

First, even taken literally, this claim is not true, because there are lots of other government interventions in place that dictate non-voluntary transactions (the most common, of course, being taxation).

Second, you're quibbling. I gave the short version of the proper definition of a free market; the full version includes that preventing transactions from occurring that otherwise would occur (because both parties benefit) by making them illegal also counts as making transactions non-voluntary. In other words, "voluntary" has two sides: not forcing people to make transactions they wouldn't voluntarily choose to make, and not preventing people from making transactions they would voluntarily choose to make.
Yeah, it's actually three, though only from a branding perspective. They did rebrand Lync/Office Communicator as "Skype for Business" for a bit, though I don't think there was ever any code shared and it was just a branding thing.

Honestly I think they simply don't care, and from their perspective they finally have gotten it right with Teams.
10x isn't an option, but 2x is. And the government will have to pay 3x for it; the rest goes to the contracting company. (It's really hard to contract directly. Not impossible, but it's an enormous amount of paperwork designed to prevent the kind of self-dealing that is apparently rampant at the top levels.)
Awesome! Thank you. The entire lecture is worth a watch. The nvidia portion starts about 33 minutes in with some great 3D wars nostalgia.
Is the "Moving fast and breaking things" attitude commonly associated with these types of companies compatible with ATC?

While I acknowledge their success in space, a LOT of guardrails/regulation were placed upon them to assure safe progress. Now they're both running the regulatory agency while also providing the end-product, which may mean faster progress but less safety overall.

Air travel is, generally, safe. The US has an issue with low staffing levels in ATC, and while automated systems have helped, the workload is still too high. It will likely be years before a Starlink product would come online, so staffing levels need to be addressed in the near-term.
