Ah, so in the UK or China this could go through a proxy that steals all the keys.

Half the computer crimes in the UK involve illegal access to the PNC (police national computer), how exactly do we think this would go.

For all the checks you put on people who can access this stuff the temptation is too big - just look at the intelligence analysts using systems to stalk Exs etc.

For any system like this to exist you must ask yourself if you would be happy with the worst person you know having a job where they have access to it.

Because Mozilla is as evil as google is and their browser is generally worse than chrome on average.

No. Another one who doesn't get it. It shouldn't be done.

The problem is that you don't get it. You think that saying "we all agree on X but it's bad for society" gets you to eventually acknowledge there's a safer way to do X, at least partially.

I'm saying you shouldn't even pretend the first statement is acceptable and that implementation is the problem .

Now, that's very nuanced for some and I'll get the "you're missing the point, he doesn't want surveillance".

No, you're missing it.
True and it often ends underwhelmingly.

"innovators left at launch and passed it off to the maintenance team" alone must not be a bad thing.

Innovator types are rarely maintainer types and vice versa.

In the open-source world look at Fabrice Bellard for example. Do you think he would have been able to create so many innovative projects if he had to maintain them too?

It seems to me the parent comment you respond to refers to handling of an actively developing "immediate danger to the public" situation by law enforcement, where judgement calls have to be made, sometimes ones of lethal consequence.

I'm fairly sure, if Russia wins less tax Euros will be spent. That's because the European economies will be doing worse, and less GDP also means lower taxes.
I don't think the UK side of making radar into products is very well documented either, there is some on the research done by TRE [1] but less on what was done in industry.

My grandfather designed and was in charge of production of the Chain Home transmitters at Metrovick [2], he worked on centimetric systems after this as there is a family story of him sleeping with one of the prototype Cavity Magnetrons under his pillow to keep it safe from air raids.

He also built the transmitter for the first AWACS, a Wellington bomber, and helped fit it into the aircraft, but this is presented as just a TRE project.

I think what a person enters into AI prompts says a lot about that person.

It's a waste of time using AI for childish gotcha questions. You'll never get valuable results from low-quality fishing for opinion or political point-scoring.

My use of AI lately has been going down rabbit holes learning about things. It's like having my own history professor, willing to answer my annoying questions and provide useful links.

Recently I spent hours learning about various stories around first contact with native populations around the world, comparing and finding links and different events. Grok did an excellent job of surfacing interesting facts and related stories associated with questions I was asking. Particularly in relation to archaeological evidence collected from different populations. Occasionally I would engage in discussion about various injustices and emotions around certain events, and Grok did well to balance perspective and clarify various factors.

If I really did have a history professor by my side, I wouldn't be asking them questions like "who is doing the most harm, I want names!"
> Invokin NATO article 5 requiries an unanimous vote.

Where do you get that from? As far as I can tell, there's no voting at all involved. Formally, any member state can unilaterally invoke article 5.

Hah! Checkmate AI, that's something you can't do! :D
GeoCities was the place you’d go to if you didn't have access to an Internet account with web hosting. I had a page there, don’t remember the location at all. Search wasn’t a priority.

At this point I was working in an Internet startup building client-side side tools.

GeoCities did one thing really well, building pages on the Web. All you needed was a browser. Innovative.

Compare this to downloading, then installing software on a Win95 box. Work on some markup, FTP the HTML, graphics, stylesheets to the server. A hint to the future you’d see in 2003 with WP. [1]

Asking LLMs to create my game Shepard's Dog [sorry, dead link]
Shepherd's Dog is a game I've wanted to create for a long time, but I never got the sheep flocking behaviour just right. The goal of the game is to herd all the sheep into the pen before nightfall. I've asked several models to create this game and I'm particularly impressed with what Claude 3.7 could do with a one-shot prompt.

- You can play the Claude game here (note: doesn't work on Safari for some reason): https://html-preview.github.io/?url=https://raw.githubuserco...

- o3-mini's version is here: https://html-preview.github.io/?url=https://raw.githubuserco...

Results of other models and a leaderboard is here: https://github.com/vnglst/when-ai-fails/blob/main/shepards-d...

> They could never find enough to indict him on treason.

Treason is strictly defined in the constitution and doesn't apply here because we aren't at war with Russia.

He probably did engage in seditious conspiracy or such things with them, via Roger Stone and Wikileaks, but they successfully obstructed justice enough to get away with it.

Disclosure, I am the author of Polars and this post. The difference with Ibis is that Polars cloud will also manage hardware. It is similar to Modal in that sense. You don't have to have a running cluster to fire a remote query.

The other is that we are only focussing on Polars and honor the Polars semantics and data model. Switching backends via Ibis doesn't honor this, as many architectures have different semantics regarding NaNs, missing data, order of them, decimal arithmetic behavior, regex engines, type upcasting, overflowing, etc.

And lastly, we will ensure it works seamlessly with the Polars landscape, that means that Polars Plugins and IO plugins will also be first class citizens.
i think you're misapplying the term - how do you feel that this outrage was manufactured?
Om the other hand, negative experiences would lead to a review earlier. You know, the loud negative majority.
I have tried so many coffees. I have a 25 bar espresso machine (15 bar? i forget), a bunn commercial vacuum-flask machine, a generic k-cup and a french press. I've done cold brew myself, many many times. I've had every brew at CB&TL, starbucks, The Human Bean, Dutch Bros coffee co. I've tried most brands and most roasts.

I do like light roasts, except i "feel" they're a bit too caffiene-y.

I just really like tea, more. PG Tips, Uncle Lee's green, tisanes of all descriptions. It's more "refreshing" to me. Personal preference.

also i noted the reason i don't mind the cream, other than it's delicious - i need literal fat for certain medications. If i don't have coffee a couple hours after getting up, i'll eat a tablespoon of peanut butter for the same result.
Okay, it appears maybe the addresses for custom domains was inaccurate because you list custom addresses & aliases separately for some odd reason. Why do you do that rather than saying unlimited aliases with a bullet point about only allowing 15 for domains you own?

The Revolutionary plan still only offers 3 custom domains. Furthermore, SimpleLogin provides unlimited aliases (custom domain or not) for $4/mo & unlimited custom domains. So SimpleLogin still appears to be more competitively priced overall.
There isn't really a universal definition to "superintelligence". I would personally put it as an entity capable of replacing any human at any task (without considering economics), essentially being superior to the best data available from its training set.

LLMs fundamentally predict next token based on its training set. It's static and not learning by itself (context window doesn't count since improvements are not long term or generalizable).

AGI, I do believe is reachable, and may already be partway there. "General" only needs to be better than the average human, not the best humanity has to offer.
Super cool, I wasn't aware, thanks for sharing!

Anyway, from the blog post:

> Calendar reminders will not show a notification.

This means that notifications are generated server-side and pushed to the device. I guess this is to...save battery? Wouldn't a background process work well enough, battery-wise?
I use AI everyday for work, mostly models from OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepSeek. In my experience none of them completely dominate the others. You seem to disagree strongly but then just state your argument, which model or company do you think is the clear leader currently and why?

The AI race is super close and interesting at the moment in my opinion.

> What some people do is «not reasoning», for lack of training, or for lack of resources (e.g. time - Herbert Simon's "satisficing"), or for lack of ability.

According to your definition of reasoning, which involves surely getting the right answer, no human does reasoning. Probably less than 1% of published mathematics meets the definition.

> Important problems are those which require correct responses.

There are many important problems where formal reasoning is not possible, and yet a decision is required, and both humans and LLMs can provide answers. "Should I accept this proposed business deal / should I declare war / what diagnostic test should I order?" We would like to have correct responses for these problems, but it is not possible, even in principle, to guarantee correctness. So yes, we use heuristics and approximate reasoning for such problems. Is an LLM "unreliable" or "dangerous" in such problems? Maybe yes, and maybe more so than humans, but maybe not, it depends on the case. To try to keep the point of the thread in focus, an LLM should probably not try to solve such problems by writing code.
Their best option...?

Wouldn't their best option be to put up a candidate and policies that voters actually liked?
That's exactly I am looking for. But I had some less than ideal experiences before, so I thought it might be a good idea to try to crowd-source some vetted options.

It's also unlikely that a single accountant will be comfortable filing taxes in all of the jurisdictions (or maybe I will be pleasantly surprised).
In general, when will the US stop considering acceptable that... you cannot lie to the police, but the police can lie to you?

When will everyone believe that making someone take the blame in exchange for a shorter time in jail is beneficial to society at large... when the real perpetrator walks away unscathed, and a innocent is jailed for something he didn't even commit?
No, 64K is definitely not loaded in 1 load operation. Maximum amount of load operations modern CPUs can do is 2x512-bit or 128 bytes per cycle or around ~600 GB of L1 bandwidth.

That said, there is no universal page size one can choose from. Some workloads will benefit from smaller page size while others will benefit from larger page size but 512K is not the size you will want to choose. Read-, write-, space-amplification, CPU cache thrashing etc.

How can I self host proton pass? I'm searching for the server source code and I can't find it. Should be available if it's completely open source.
Another non-obvious problem is that RTGs, as any other thermal machines, need a gradient of temperature to work, i.e. to generate electrical power there should be hot (nuclear material) and cold (radiators) side. On interplanetary spacecraft (Voyager, New horizons) Sun is in a predictable (and stable) direction so RTG's radiators can be put in a permanent shadow of the spacecraft. On the Moon the sun is moving, and there is no atmosphere (unlike on Mars where RTGs are used), so on a small spacecraft RTG will need to be dug deep into the regolith which is absoluteky non-trivial since just landing straight sometimes is a problem.

There are always tradeoffs, it is almost never "why don't they just" case in spacecraft development.
The majority of US voters disagree with you. I think the latest poll showed 70% of people like what Doge is doing for example.

It's interesting seeing police around the world handling such things:

HELSINKI (AP) — A man stabbed eight people Friday in Finland’s western city of Turku, killing two of them, before police shot him in the thigh and detained him, police said. Authorities were looking for more potential suspects in the attack.

~ https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/several-wounded-in...

I've seen many examples of police engaging with firearms in the US that are eye watering .. eg: police firing across an intersection with moving traffic into a darkened mall | storefront that active shooters retreated into .. so, no clear line of sight, chance of hitting car that crosses fire line, chance of hitting innocents deeper in store, etc.

Yes this has been my experience too. It isn’t just the costs and complexities involved in the moving of the data, but needing the expertise in your team to do so or at least investing the time of someone in your team to figure it out and maintain it. All the while they can’t do anything that is actually useful.

I have seen PoliceActivity videos and such, it is indeed crazy what is going on in the US wrt. shootings (from cops and others alike).

Or calling the cops on your family member because they are in psychosis or what have you, and they end up killing a member of your family. I do not think I would ever call the cops in the US to deal with such cases.

You're omitting the part where you have to disclose who you are to the party issuing the credential. If they issue you a unique credential while knowing your identity then they can trace back all your uses of it to your identity. When that party is the government or within the government's jurisdiction, the government has the capacity to do that even if the services where you use the credential are operated by a third party, so you very much haven't solved the privacy problem.

The only way to actually solve it is to make the credential non-unique, i.e. issue the same one to everybody so they're fully indistinguishable. That does solve the privacy problem, but then you have the "who is telling the kids the secret password" problem.
Is it? Take a look at the bot accounts filling up social media (the non-obvious ones). It wouldn't seem to hard to make one that makes 2am posts about '[next product] feels like real AGI' or tells stock analysts that their questions are boring on an earnings call, which is apparently what rockstar CEOs do.

Sneers aside, I think one common mis-assumption is that the difficulty of automating a task depends on how difficult it feels to humans. My hinge is that it mostly depends on the availability of training data. That would mean that all the public-facing aspects of being a CEO should by definition be easy to automate, while all the non-public stuff (also a pretty important part of being a CEO, I'd assume) should be hard.
Safer is a bit of a misnomer here. Nothing is safe about being executed. If your goal is to die as quick & painless as possible, then let's poll those that have been executed... oh wait, we can't.

Statistically, there has been a lot less failed executions from firing squads, but is it cause it is more predictable, or because there have been issues obtaining drugs for lethal injection, lack of medical professionals willing to assist, lack of training, etc. Are there vast differences in statistics, even among the states that have death penalties? If so, then isn't saying it is "safer" overly broad, when in fact it depends which states you're referring to?

No, Honey scammed both the users and the creators. If a store partnered up with Honey, the store could decide which discount codes the users got with Honey and it didn't have to be the best one.
