> People (even criminals) are not perfectly economic thinkers.

This imperfection feeds into the argument for not punishing rape as harshly as murder: the rapist is likely to misjudge the chances of the murder being discovered and traced back to them, when doing the risk math to decide how to proceed. If their imperfect thinking leads them to overestimate their chance of pulling off the perfect murder (or the perfect coverup after one) then that pushes the chance of equal punishment leading to more murders higher.

"Doing risk math" oversells it for crimes of opportunity, where decisions about how to keep the action quiet after it has happened is going to be very emotion/panic (rather than facts/stats) driven, but for premeditated attacks I suspect things will flip the other way.
but actually i don't have the permission to use manus, i have applied the invitation code. Hope i can get the invitation code soon and try if it is amamzing like the use case
You must have a different definition of "providing" because offering a service is definitely providing it. Apple makes "smart" devices that do what people want them to, and encryption is second to that. I think it's a fair compromise to have it easily available but not default.
Well swing states are the issues, aren’t they? I’m happy to live in a place where it isn’t a small fraction of individuals deciding the fate of the country.

or one of the many alternatives - https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling. I will advocate for zrok.io as I work on its parent project, OpenZiti. zrok is open source and has a free (more generous and capable) SaaS than ngrok.
ZeroTier works where Tailscale (Wireguard) is blocked eg Egypt.
Yeah, imagine if there was a rule that all corporations must be 51% owned by a single human.

That's great for dynastic oligarchies, devastating to smaller competitors trying to grow, and fatal to a co-op.
It wouldn't be backwards, more like bipartisan. Furthermore, when assimilated by the Democratic party, the "free speech as in anarchy" idea got war dynamics (pragmatism in accepting persons and accepting the unacceptable) in the same way it has always been thought in the Republican side.
At this point, the results clearly show it doesn't matter whether it's a Republican or Democrat regime. They both cannibalized the middle class and all this drama between them are effectively for show. Both parties and their donors benefit very well regardless of their party, particularly the defense, finance, pharma, and tech industries.

It's easy to block the control plane because Tailscale has endpoints listing all current control and DERP servers. On Linux you can use a SOCKS proxy for control plane traffic, if connections still work. Some firewalls are really restrictive.

I can understand the work network policy, someone could use Tailscale to leak data, but a residential ISP should not block it. I would rather bother their support for an incomplete service.
From experience, most engineers can do neither.
You seem to imply the 'motivated' can not improve.

I'd say the motivated often reap the rewards of innovations more so than the average, as they were pushing the boundaries in the first place.

> I also find the publisher's claims that he "[just can't] bring [him]self to sit down and read 77 pages of these messages right now" implausible.

Read back a few sentences for the context - they aren't willing to ready 77 pages just to seek/isolate messages from one individual around a specific topic. I would expect a journalist to do this repeatedly for multiple individuals, so it makes sense to parse the data and make it queryable without having to read through hundreds/thousands of telegrams just to capture a few dozen

Unfortunately that simple.
I use a razer blade 14 personally... My mileage varies. I love that I can run a lot of stuff on it, but I hate the fact the ram was soldered and the GPU definitely throttles. I recently ran a benchmark for some GPU code I wrote and found that my steamdeck outperforms the Laptop 3060. Its also got terrible battery life and doesnt help that my work laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad P1 beast (FWIW the razer 14 has better battery life with linux than the lenovo) which is great for building code, terrible as a portable. For me the biggest complaint I have about Macs, is well the OS. With the razer at least I can replace windows with ubuntu and most things work. Im really hoping the AMD stuff catches up soon, otherwise I may have to upgrade to a new desktop + macbook air for personal work.
Agree, blind trust in any big tech company is naive. But if Apple already had hidden backdoors, why would the UK government be pushing so hard for one now?

It's a bit difficult when you use the technology to run groups of unsolicited people. There is inevitably an inclusion boundary there.

Technical reasons don't trump social and human reasons. There's a compromise somewhere.

>The right wing of USA politics claims this but clearly act in opposition to this claim.

Not at all. They just immediately embraced war dynamics. USA conservatives and libertarians (stop referring to right wing and leftism in USA, it makes no sense) view anarchy as their chance to fight for a fief or a monarchy.

I currently have a custom script that is a mix between terraform and ansible that sets up a proxmox cluster, then a k3s cluster and a few haproxys with keepalived on top. Granted, maybe not the most standard setup.

My point was that the F-35 is more expensive than European planes which don't have a US backdoor.

How does this make sense? Dropping down to SMS is not something that happens transparently, the user is made aware of whether they're sending an iMessage or an SMS. Disappearing messages would obviously only be available when sending an iMessage.

This argument is 1 tiny step away from, "there's no point in encryption in Signal because if the Signal wants to send a message to someone not on Signal they may choose to send the message as an SMS which is not encrypted". I don't think I agree with the author that iMessage needs disappearing messages but man please make arguments which make sense!

> In my understanding it is not an attack on the country of china, to show their population a glimpse of truth.

When one country wants to give the population of another "a glimpse of truth", no matter how well meaning, it's usually seen as a threat to the nations sovereignty, for better or worse.

As it stands right now, the US are no longer interested in either being in opposition to warmongering countries (Russia) nor stand up against countries it sees as oppressive to it's own population (China), it's clearly heading down a road of self-isolation which makes sense when you consider the ultimate goal of the current regime.
The more awareness there is, the harder it becomes for governments to quietly erode encryption without pushback. If nothing else, it might make other companies think twice before rolling over.

A bunch of claims made there with no evidence supplied to support any of them, and especially nothing linking domestic terrorism with run of the mill Trump supporters, although it's quite telling that one would make that conceptual leap, ostensibly to fuel some sense of personal grievance?

Based on first hand experience on the fringes of white supremacist organizations over the decades I'm totally unsurprised to hear law enforcement would have a hard time finding them in bulk as the percentage of people in the US who willingly harbor these kinds of views is a rounding error compared to the larger populace. It's actually pretty shocking how much trouble such a small group of people can cause on the rare occasion that they either muster the courage of their convictions and act on their beliefs or are goaded into action by law enforcement plants. In any case, trivializing these groups, either by dismissing their numbers or by trying to reframe them as mere "political opposition" is deeply stupid. These people are profoundly dangerous.
Still don't explain the price. Aramco seems to have 10-20 P/E ratio (excluding 2020 demand drop in oil). Where as Tesla is at 80 now... I just don't think enough money can be pumped in Tesla to make current valuation sane. Without outright paying for those earnings by in essence gifting money.

Both of them would increase quality of life if we cared just a little bit about them, so I think in their eyes they're more or less the same? They seem hellbent on decreasing the quality of life as far as I can tell, even being outspoken about that "things will get worse before it gets better", so if you try to empathize with their perspective, it does make sense they see them as the same thing more or less.
If you build enough nuclear capacity to run the country when the renewables don't produce anything you might as well run the country the whole time on nuclear. Building a nuclear plant and then using it at 10% capacity is an egregious waste of money. Literally any storage technology is cheaper.

Protectionist policy, if applied consistently, will actually lead to more jobs (and higher wages) eventually, but also higher inflation and job losses in the short term, and a more insular economy. It's foolish to go so hard, and so fast – or this is just a negotiation tactic – so I think the Trump administration is going to compromise by necessity, but in time supply chains will adjust to the new reality, and tariffs can increase.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll consider toning down the rhetoric. Do note that you imply industrial sabotage against AI projects doesn't really exist, on an article that seriously calls for industrial sabotage against AI projects and makes a point to say how easy it is.
For me it has linguistics components for sure, but it is many in parallel and a lot less 'linear'.

Where inner language most certainly comes into play is in the 'output' phase, be it spoken or written, as serialization is required there, but to be honest that often feels like a projection or even a reconstruction with an inherrent sense of loss as the inner is so much richer and nuanced.

That is not to say linearization has no merits. Even if it loses so much it forces consistency and rigor in the lower dimensional reasoning.
And this whole situation just reinforces the fact that relying on a provider's encryption means trusting that they won't be forced to weaken it later
> when they voted for him, that it was just a bit of a risk

I'm genuinely speechless.
Compile time issues are almost always type inference issues. Reducing chained functions and multiple levels of protocol witness indirection usually speeds this up dramatically.

The other big time sucks are C++ interop and dozens of micro-dependencies (react-native).
Ok, 20 day old account, your opinion is important.
yes, an R730 or R740 for instance. There's lots of used R630 and R640 with 512GB of RAM as well, but a 1U server is not the best thing to try putting gaming GPU type pci-express video cards into.
Regardless of whether this is true, there is a lot of other Asahi developers. This fact alone is immaterial.

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, but you got everything completely wrong.

First of all, writing state and configuration files in the home directory, without any well thought out structure, has been a common practice since UNIX existed, XDG did not even exist then.

Precisely because this lazy practice causes all sorts of problems, the cross-desktop group (XDG) came up with a standard called the "base directory specification"[1] which proposes to divide applications files into configuration, data, caches and are supposed to be stored in subdirectories named after the application in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME ($HOME/.config if unsed), $XDG_DATA_HOME ($HOME/.local/share if unset), $XDG_CACHE_HOME ($HOME/.cache if unset), respectively.

China lost their minds over it. It’s very sensitive politically because it undermines the official narrative.
Geopolitically, it makes even less sense. Ever since the pandemic it became evident near-shore and friend-shore measures are the only way to ensure resilient supply chains.

Yeah, me too thought "if that can determine if a startup would be successful, why doesn't it found it by itself then.."

The test vectors idea is pretty interesting! That's a good one.

I haven't been able to try out QwQ locally yet. There seems to be something wrong with this model on Ollama / my MacBook Pro. The text generation speed is glacial (much, much slower than, say Qwen 72B at the same quant). I also don't see any MLX versions on LM Studio yet.
Apple does feel behind the curve here. Nearly every other major platform has figured out how to balance disappearing messages with usability, so why not iMessage?
And by a lot - around 18 stories about Tesla sales plunging for the last 30 days with the articles looking mostly the same without any new information. That's a bit too much.
Thanks a lot for the v2.5! I'll give that a whirl. Hopefully it's as coherent as v3.5 when quantized so small.

> I can't quantify the difference between these and the full FP8 versions of DSR1, but I've been playing with these ~Q2 quants and they're surprisingly capable in their own right.

I run the Q2_K_XL and it's perfectly good for me. Where it lacks vs FP8 is in creative writing. If you prompt it with for a story a few times, then compare with FP8, you'll see what I mean.

For coding, the 1.58bit clearly makes more errors than the Q2XXS and Q2_K_XL
Unfortunately, remote detention camps to "keep the homeland clean" are nothing new, they are tried and tested.

This point is nonsense, most authoritarian regimes do exactly the opposite, they promote traditional family values.

I think they're wrong, but you're also making a related mistake here:

> You're explaining it nicely and then seem to make mistake that contradicts what you've just said – because code and text share domain (text based)

"Text" is not the domain that matters.

The whole trick behind LLMs being as capable as they are, is that they're able to tease out concepts from all that training text - concepts of any kind, from things to ideas to patterns of thinking. The latent space of those models has enough dimensions to encode just about any semantic relationship as some distinct direction, and practice shows this is exactly what happens. That's what makes style transfer pretty much a vector operation (instead of "-King +Woman", think "-Academic, +Funny"), why LLMs are so good at translating between languages, from spec to code, and why adding modalities worked so well.

With LLMs, the common domain between "text" and "code" is not "text", but the way humans think, and the way they understand reality. It's not the raw sequences of tokens that map between, say, poetry or academic texts and code - it's the patterns of thought behind those sequences of tokens.

Code is a specific domain - beyond being the lifeblood of programs, it's also an exercise in a specific way of thinking, taken up to 11. That's why learning code turned out to be crucial for improving general reasoning abilities of LLMs (the same is, IMO, true for humans, but it's harder to demonstrate a solid proof). And conversely, text in general provides context for code that would be hard to infer from code alone.
