Both clients send a packet to a server, server sends the remote IP to both parties, both parties try to send traffic to either’s remote IP. Unless their nat firewall is evil, this should work.
Yeah, I'm assuming you're just calling kubectl directly underneath the hood. The way that aws-vault works is that you do something like: `aws-vault exec kubectl ...` or you can just do `aws-vault exec` and drop into a subshell. In both cases, a set of short-lived AWS credentials are exposed via the AWS-defined environment variables to the process (or shell context). The kubeconfig is then configured to handle authentication via AWS (rather than the default certificate method).

So, if you just straight-up call `kubectl` within XPipe without having AWS credentials already available, then it would fail. So, I'm guessing this wouldn't work.
Has anyone used this kind of technology to create a kind of one-on-one messaging system that maintains a persistent thread (in browser storage) which can sort of simulate "texting" but without the phone?
Nice article. I didn't read every section in detail but I think it makes a good point that AI researchers maybe focus too much on the thought of creating new mathematics while being able to repdroduce, index or formalize existing mathematics is really they key goal imo. This will then also lead to new mathematics. I think the more you advance in mathematical maturity the bigger the "brush" becomes with which you make your strokes. As an undergrad a stroke can be a single argument in a proof, or a simple Lemma. As a professor it can be a good guess for a well-posedness strategy for a PDE. I think AI will help humans find new mathematics with much bigger brush strokes. If you need to generalize a specific inequality on the whole space to Lipschitz domains, perhaps AI will give you a dozen pages, perhaps even of formalized Lean, in a single stroke. If you are a scientist and consider an ODE model, perhaps AI can give you formally verified error and convergence bounds using your specific constants. You switch to a probabilistic setting? Do not worry. All of these are examples of not very deep but tedious and non-trivial mathematical busywork that can take days or weeks. The mathematical ability necessary to do this has in my opinion already been demonstrated by o3 in rare cases. It can not piece things together yet though. But GPT-4 could not piece together proofs to undergrad homework problems while o3 now can. So I believe improvement is quite possible.
Complete silence may be unnatural but so is Fall Out Boy played so loud the lyrics can be heard a block or more away, for 24 hours a day.

Some sounds are loud enough to be impossible to block out. If police aren't interested in enforcing noise ordinances and your landlord isn't interested either because they're too busy trying not to repair the $12K a month water leak in the basement of the restaurant you live on top of, your only option is to move.
I'm not being obtuse at all. That methane would not be leaking in these locations if humans did not attempt to extract it. Regardless if the leaks from faulty plumbing or just not making the hole the right way so the methane in the air is a direct result of that human activity, it is still methane leaking into the air

Energy density mostly and being able to deliver that power where you need it. Aluminum plants are co-located with large-scale power plants, famously hydroelectric, for the same reason. Above certain power requirements, you essentially need the power generation to be onsite.

Hydrogen requires 3x the energy of aluminum per ton, so it is an even bigger problem for hydrogen. Unlike aluminum, it is feasible to have large numbers of small hydrogen production plants but then you need to transport all that hydrogen at an acceptable scale.

You can look at their most recent annual report[1].

Their total expenses were ~$40M, and their CEO made over $6M in compensation. So out of a $100 donation, $16 goes directly into the CEO's pocket.

The total compensation for their top 10 employees is close to $10M. They all are President of this and VP of that and Director of thus--my strong guess is none of them write Firefox code. So $24 of your $100 go into their pockets.

When I was younger I never had a solicited call on my landline. Simply put any place that would have called to try and sell me something would have been long distance and it wasn't worth the cost. Back then I always answered the phone because it was going to be something important.

Then the cost of long distance started to drop to zero and the commercial calls started coming in. After it was zero, the outright illegal scams showed up. Now, probably one out of every fifty calls to me is an actual legitimate call. My phone goes to automatic voicemail if you're not already in my contacts.

Were talking about both quantitative changes and qualitative changes. Things like this can have large impacts on society.
Unity isn't really worth 9 billion imo.

I would like MS to buy them out and FOSS the engine. Maybe if they split the ad business off into its own thing.

Unity feels like a bizarre almost abusing business relationship. They can change the terms of service at will.

The licensing is confusing. Billy is a freelancer. He makes a small game for his friend company. His friends company raises a funding round.

Depending on how much money is raised, Unity is going to call Billy up and extort him to upgrade to a higher license tier.

I don't particularly like Godot, but every few months I try and learn it again.

The game engine landscape is like picking the least worst option.

All that to be fair, Unity provided a high quality game engine for effectively nothing for over a decade to the vast majority of its users. It's time to pay the piper.

You’re describing coaling stations [1]. They worked in the era of empires (one government controls the coaling network) and no other options. They’re uncompetitive today.

Any energy system requiring them will not be competitive against direct-sail systems. You’re paying for the crew and ship’s deterioration with every delay.

Sway (and most other tiling) WMs have the same behaviour; i.e., each monitor has its own unique set of workspaces instead of one workspace being shared across monitors. Workspaces not being persistent also messed with me, I have eight workspaces all divvied up for exact purposes and sometimes the ones inbetween are empty.

I use labwc currently which has the ideal workspace behaviour (one workspace shared).

Not only that, they're becoming rapidly affordable. In many areas, law enforcement will carry them. They're even becoming affordable for home use ($1,400, although I believe you still need to buy through medical providers, not Costco. You might also pay $100 every year or two for replacing expired pads, and $200 every 2-3 years for a battery).
"Attacker has ROP and shouldn't be able to make arbitrary syscalls".

Is this because we're misapplying the analogy to ML? I.e., in an effort to communicate and understand ANNs, we "pretend" it's like a brain. Just like before, we used "file retrieval systems" to understand the brain, or electricity is like "water in a pipe", which are also wrong. Analogies often only go so far, beyond which they do more harm than good.
I mean, it obviously did make it to the public because that WP article was written in 2019, and I remember hearing some of those details (that it wasn't so much "the code has backdoors" as "the code is so shit, it doesn't even matter if there's a backdoor in there deliberately") back then.

By the time any highly-technical topic makes it to the mainstream discourse, the details tend to get stripped out simply because none of the 70 year olds watching CNN or Fox appreciate the difference and none of the anchors or panelists know what they're talking about either.

I think another way to think about this is that subtly trying to consider AI in your AI-unrelated research is just respecting the bitter lesson. You need to at least consider how a data-driven approach might work for your problem. It could totally wipe you out - make your approach pointless. That's the bitter lesson.
yeah i've always felt it was a good idea for new software devs out of college to spend a few years at a small eat-what-you-kill consultancy. You really get a sense of where you're paycheck comes from and why it exists. Going straight to a giant corporation distorts your view because no matter how detached and abstract you become the direct deposit still shows up. You lose all connection to why you're paid.
I read too much scifi, and almost none of it has updated on the current state of AI. For example spaceships swarming with low skill level crew members that swab the decks and replace air filters. Or depending on a single engineer to be the only one with the crucial knowledge to save the ship in an emergency.

If scifi authors aren't keeping up it's hard to expect the rest of us to. But the macro and micro economic changes implied by this technology are huge. Very little of our daily lives will be undisrupted when it propagates and saturates the culture, even with no further fundamental advances.

Can anyone recommend scifi that makes plausible projections around this tech?
Tesla Takedown movement fights back after push to label them domestic terrorists
Ah, yes. I remember this well.

DCGs are lovely things that allow you to implement a toy example quickly but then the dragon appears and gobbles you up..

The scent of dragon's breath can already be seen in this example in a couple of places.

In the first place, using DCGs generatively is very interesting. It implies that you can write programs that generate strings as easily as parse them.

But the question of which grammars are reversible this way is very thorny. Even worse, this question is highly context specific. A grammar might be reversible in one context and not in another. Reversibility is also very delicate. Adding trivial changes to a parser can suddenly make it no longer reversible.

The second scent is the way that apparently small limitations in the Prolog language start to have very large implications in terms of program complexity. Since these limitations are inherited by the DCG framework itself, it quickly becomes necessary to either lose the attractive identification of Prolog expressions with syntax trees or to wind up with an explosion in program size.

An example appears in this article. The differentiation for each of the functions exp, sin, cos and tan involves a separate definition of the chain rule. For instance, we have

% Cosine derivative (+ chain rule)
derivative(X, cos(E), -DE*sin(E)) :-
derivative(X, E, DE).

The problem here is that we want to write something like this:

% chain rule
derivative(X, F(E), DE*DF(E)) :-
derivative(u, F(u), DF(u)),
derivative(X, E, DE).

and then simply define derivatives of each function without the chain rule.

We can't do that, however, because Prolog doesn't support unification of functors. We could patch that if we started referring to function application with more elaborate syntax by parsing "sin(exp(x))" as application(sin, application(exp, x)) so that we could unify on sin, but this quickly obscures the syntax tree and removes the delightfully direct nature of DCGs.

We see problems popping up in the simplification as well. The problem of simplification is that you can wind up simplifying in circles which makes a depth first approach as used in Prolog very dangerous. The authors insert a cut to avoid this, but this also suddenly makes the entire system non-reversible.

The fundamental problem is that logic programming in the form of Prolog is practical precisely because of these limits. If you want more expressive power, you need to start talking about much more than unification and depth first search. At that point, you suddenly wind up with mechanisms like coordinate types which have the full expressivity of formal logic, but lose the simple execution of Prolog; simple type checking becomes undecidable.
It's the distinction between a "window manager" and a "desktop environment" KDE/Gnome/XFCE are DEs that include window managers (KWin/Mutter/xfwm4) along with a suite of other utilities that make up the complete environment.

Conversely, Sway, Niri, Hyprland, i3 are bare window managers. They do not include the suite of tools and it is left up to the user to build their environment as they wish. Fortunately thanks to some defined (FreeDesktop.org & Wayland are big) and defacto standards there is a reasonable degree of interoperability for tools. For myself I pull a decent chunk of the XFCE suite into my Sway config to make my very own, special little environment. A environment that apparently no one else can even begin to figure out how to use but at least nobody asks to borrow my laptop twice.

Robotics has been trying the same ideas for the last who knows how many years. They still believe it will work now, somehow.

Perhaps it goes beyond the brightest minds at Google that people can grasp things with their eyes closed. That we don't need to see to grasp. But designing good robots with tactile sensors is too much for our top researchers.
That seems crazy
You’re conveniently leaving out how pretentious and insufferable many Seattleites are…

It has been far and wide the least welcoming, interesting, and lackluster food city I’ve ever lived in.

Also, the coffee scene there is worse than SF, Chicago, LA..rare stop for bands and musicians touring, and unpleasant transit.

The only people I know who are genuinely happy there are people who moved from Florida, and wealthy white families with young children who moved there (from California) “because taxes and better education”.

Don’t even get me started on the lack of diversity and casual racism.

SF is far from perfect, but Seattle isn’t even in the conversation for places I’d ever recommend someone leaving SF to shortlist.
The same problem with confetti and snow in videos, due to compression:

Yes there are outliers but it is not the norm nor is it able to be made the norm in war and you know that. Door gunners on helicopters didn't accept surrender as choppers flew over territory. This is no different.
I think you are confusing organizations and companies. Yes, under capitalism, companies only exist to reek in profits, but from a non-profit organization you'd expect something else...
The correct answer depends on the exam's goal. If you want to verify understanding the fundamentals, then a pencil and paper is all you should get. However that limits the complexity of the problem you can be asked. With a calculator you can do more complex problems - but the tool will do some things for you and so if you get the answer wrong there is no way to know if you failed on the fundamentals (you need to drop out of this class and be send to the lower level one) or the complexity (stay in this class).
The math is totally standard if you've read recent important papers on score matching and flow matching. If you haven't, well, I can't see how you could possibly hope to understand this work at a technical level anyways.

I guess this kind of article always gets attention, but they always seem so stupid to me.

A thing exists that I don't want.

I could:

(1) ignore the thing; or
(2) complain that the thing isn't something I want

(1) seems so obviously the right thing to do. This goes double when the thing you do want does, in fact, exist.

But, no, the internet opts for (2). I guess complaining just feels good, even when it's about something that has zero actual effect on you (or on anyone, even).

This is mostly an engineering problem I think. The new Dewalt DCBL777Y1 leaf blowers are so quiet that even on loud I can use it in my garage without feeling like it’s loud or my watch triggering a sound alert. With my gas leaf blower, even outside it’s deafening and my watch immediately triggers. And the electric one is 2x more powerful than the gas one (in CFM, no bs about a smaller nozzle and “high mph”, the thing BLOWS). It also works upside down and doesn’t dump exhaust so I can use it inside as well as upside down when drying my car. No shill, I paid full price for mine and have no affiliation with Dewalt, just surprised and happy. I expected to return it because I didn’t believe it would be better than my gas blower. That gas blower has been on a shelf for the last 3 months. I’ll probably just sell it, there’s no use case where it’s better than the Dewalt except for long runtimes, which I don’t need.

Torrents can be seamless. I take it you haven't used a download manager that would just grab any file, treating torrents just like any other download, as seamless as HTTP downloads are?

It doesn't have to be a dedicated system where you manage how long you seed, port forward, and other technical requirements: torrents already work well when you just seed while downloading because the server can never get overloaded, pretty much no matter how viral something goes. So long as it keeps serving the tiny torrent file, a few blocks on occasion, and the few packets needed to set up a NAT punch between people (STUN/TURN server? I always forget what's what), people can get the file from each other and you don't have huge bandwidth costs or have the site go down once the included bandwidth is exhausted. There's a reason Facebook and Twitter use(d?) this for distributing server updates¹, and I don't think someone remotes onto every server to visit the pirate bay, which torrent technology has sadly become synonymous to and people don't realise it is a transfer protocol just like FTP, HTTP, and other TPs that I'm forgetting

> some public standard that gets implemented on all platforms

What this is based on doesn't matter. It can be http, it can also be torrents. It's not very useful if you're sending files from and to one person almost every time (perhaps at the end of a holiday with friends, more than one person would want everyone's photos, but still), I'm just objecting to torrents being misunderstood as the only thing most people used it for: downloading copyrighted material in dedicated (and often unwieldy) software :)

If I'm reading the commits correctly, the OpenBSD kernel will skip two instructions after a "svc 0" when returning to userspace, on the assumption that any syscall comes from libc and therefore has "dsb nsh; isb" after it.

Mermaid is an interesting concept, but putting things in the reasonable location can be next to impossible and a single new connection can blow up the whole layout. And the integration is never quite polished - so many times I've been scrolling down a github page just to suddenly stop and resize a diagram. Then the panning/zoom is a bit clunky. (I know it's a client issue, but unless the defaults become reasonable, it's a mermaid issue too)
