Not exactly P2P, but I think the fibre optic drones used in Russia/Ukraine could be effective for regaining internet access in Africa.

Those drones have 10km+ fibre optic cables stringing out the back. Fly it to a different country, hook up to a friendly wifi/cellular network, then pipe your general purpose internet traffic through the fibre optic cable.

This wouldn't work everywhere. But for small Africa countries with lots of land borders it might work. Especially if the border area had jungle or other low traffic terrain.
Help me out here, is that "new york's most famous sandwich"?

I would not have thought that.
It is a local problem when you're doing HPC. Not for most business apps though I agree.
Hopefully a reasonably standard, visible door handle that will 'always' work, like the stuff we've been having for many decades now?

When I was much younger, my mom worked for a wealthy small business owner. Her job involved overnight supervision of pregnant horses; the foals were very valuable, and the owners of the sires were paid handsomely. Anyway, sometimes I would go along for a sleep over, enjoy the adventure of being away from home, play some pinball. Whatever.

Anyway, one day (as an adult) I met the owner, shook his hand. No big deal. But the very next day I was driving along and saw black smoke, and found out later that it was coming from a helicopter crash, and one of the victims was the man I had met and shook hands with a day earlier.

It was really eerie, and of course had a relatively direct affect on our lives, not just mentally / emotionally, but ultimately the stable changed ownership and my mom ended up having to get a different job.

If there's a point, sometimes crashes (and deaths) don't matter to us, personally (even if they matter to plenty of other people), and sometimes they do. You definitely notice the ones that matter to you personally, or are just on a larger scale than is normal.
It's trivial (in the mathematical sense) to have this ability in Rust.
It did, kinda, they shipped Hypervisor.framework in some builds of iPadOS 15 and 16: https://x.com/utmapp/status/1708907045314035986

But you needed a private entitlement for it to work that no app (save UTM after a jailbreak) had, so the pet theory at the time was internal Apple engineers were running around with Linux on their iPads.
Yes because the pypi cupy/cudann packages now work seamlessly with jax. Until not long ago we had to use the conda packages.

My reading is the restructuring is based on locking in existing US security+partnership system / hegemonic arrangement, i.e. century bonds primarily targets countries who "should" be paying for protection, i.e. it's not just about trade, it's about security, and notion that partners would still be more prosperous paying under US security model.

TLDR is hegemony too expensive, US moving from client system where US pays priveledges of hegemony (trade deficits, overseas military, security commitments) to a tributary system where vassals pay. TBH the system has logic, but it's a matter of value... people don't like paying for what they got for free, and US industry has learned to be very good at extraction. In the short/medium term, EU/US security partners committed to US military hardware, maybe the gamble is in lieu of alternatives, people would lock in century bonds to renew protection when they have "no coverage", which would be fine if US industries and geopolitics have also not shown to be good at wiggling out of commitments. Regardless 50 year free trial is over, it's subscription model hegemony now.

Either way PRC not going to be in the group. That 800B is going to get slowly wind down over time, but it's like... 2 weeks of GDP it really doesn't matter especially if it goes woosh in TW scenario someday.

How does the medical and healthcare industry that is notorious for gatekeeping have these problems? Leaving a database open and unprotected is just hard to understand given the levels of red tape you have to complete to develop in this space. Theranos was jailed and defamed whereas this will likely cause more damage as a whole (instead of some billionaires becoming slightly less rich).

Really? How have policies been made for the past hundred years without it then?

It's completely bonkers that people keep saying stuff like this, virtually implying that we didn't have a functional society before LLMs.

LLMs are tools that generate word salads that sound compelling. They are not research aids and they can't help you understand things better than the plethora of tools we already developed over the centuries can.

So no, the alternative is policy makers doing what policy makers have always done: research, polling, reading, talking, and more research.

Now you'll likely come back and say "but X policy was bad and it was because it was poorly researched". Absolutely! Yes, bad policies exist. Poorly researched policies exist. Poorly implemented policies exist.

Good policies researched well also exist. And the bad ones aren't going away because of the magical word generator.

Seriously. Stop using LLMs to "help" you do stuff you already know how to do.
How would the fork be funded?

There are options:

1) Non-personalized (aka context sensitive) advertising. Advertising by itself is not the inherently evil part --- the collection of personalized data is. Context sensitive advertising doesn't require any personal data.

2) As an alternative for those who prefer it, allow users to pay a small annual fee for AD BLOCKING.

I'd pay for something that is truly private and blocks personalized ads and the associated data collection. Given a little reasonable incentive, I think there are others who would too.

Google's vision of the web is a choice, not a requirement. Mozilla could put forth a real alternative vision --- but they won't for obvious reasons.
The only really reliable use I discovered for AI so far is rubber-ducking.

As you dig down it's often so hilariously useless it sparks my decaying intelligence to offer up a gem. Less fruitful than talking to a Junior Engineer but more useful than a physical rubber duck.
In general I'd agree that whataboutism is a logical fallacy, since it is basically a form of ad hominem, but it can also demonstrate that an attack itself is unjustified. For instance imagine if a farm was attacked for having laborers pick fruit for pennies per pound.

If one doesn't know much about the industry that would indeed sound potentially abusive - especially with sufficiently leading framing, yet it's also the global standard. That doesn't mean it's right, but it also means that allegations against one specific entity for such are, at the minimum, misleading.
> LLMs pass the Turing test more convincingly than anything before

Being able to converse (or convince someone the conversation is natural) is not the same as being able to perform a technical task well. The same applies to humans as well, of course, which perhaps brings us back to the outsourcing comparison — how often does that work out great or not?

> LLMs are vastly more popular than any AI/ML methods before it

Popular is not what I'm looking for. I've seen the decisions the general public make elsewhere, I'm not letting them chose how I do my job :)

> "But they don't reason!" -- we're advancing chain of thought

Call me back when we've advanced chain of thought much more than is currently apparent, and again: for being correct in technical matters, not conversation.
Here's the thing, there's never going to be convincing evidence for you to decide that it wasn't what your hunch said it was. That's the nature of suspicion.

You could Google "national plant services van" on image search and find similar vans, and that the company is owned by is the Carylon Corporation, with revenue of $300m/year -- but that couldn't convince you that a government agency (it wouldn't be the NSA unless they're violating the law) didn't borrow it or copy it.

You could read that their services include "Digital CCTV inspection. Laser profiling. Sonar pipeline inspection." but that couldn't convince you that the monitor+joystick and other equipment is needed for sewer inspection, because you already believe it is for surveillance. (The irony being that the kind of mass surveillance Mark Klein exposed, or Snowden exposed, means there's absolutely no need to park a truck outside someone's house. You can track who they're communicating with already, and you can subvert their own devices to listen in, instead of parking a van out front for their neighbors to notice.)

You could look at who has the contract to inspect sewers in your town -- it's public record. But you could still choose to believe that the federal government did the same check, and went out and got an identical truck so as to be less suspicious (although in this thread half the people are saying "that's too clean/fancy/technological to be a sewer inspection van!" so if they did it would have backfired.)

Was he under surveillance? Who knows. Does this truck prove anything either way? No. Everybody is going to leave this thread with whatever hunch they came in with.

I don’t even think they need an entirely new windowing system, just a tweak of what they have on macOS.

Have the iPad run macOS, but instead of the desktop, always show LaunchPad, and force the use of Stage Manager or full screen apps. Have developers optimize their full screen view for touch. That’s basically the iPadOS experience without the limits.
What do you expect me to "learn" in this context? I'm a native English speaker, there's nothing to learn here as far as I can see. No one has reported it to be a common phrase in any known dialect and the strongest defense for it is an entry in a community provided dictionary and some people misreading it as other phrases.

I have never said anything was "wrong", I said it was poor communication. Wrong is not a useful concept in language. But the whole point of language is to communicate with others and this sentence is clearly confusing to many people.

"fixing the shrine with her gaze" totally makes sense (I'm also a native speaker of English, that makes four) and is semantically equivalent to "fixing her gaze on the shrine", it merely chooses to emphasize "the shrine" as the object, rather than "her gaze". Clearly "fix" here means "attaching securely"(/"locking on to") not "repairing", that Collins citation already given above also defined "fix" https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/fix

And adding the preposition "with" to get the preposition phrase "with her gaze" doesn't change the meaning: clearly the sentence is about her gaze being firmly on the shrine (not the shrine being firmly on her gaze).

We also never gain any time from productivity. When sewing machines were invented and the time to make a garment went down 100x, you didn’t work 15 minutes a day.

Instead, those people are actually now much poorer and work much more. What was a respectable job is grunt work, and they’re sweat shop warm bodies.

The gains of their productivity was, predictably, siphoned upwards.

Snowflake seems to be a P2P mesh using webRTC to route tor traffic through browser tabs to assist users in countries where tor is blocked to connect to proxies in regions where it’s not. But i don’t know, I’m not an expert. That’s just what it looks like.

Pretty cool.

These kind of technologies are obviously the future not just for censorship circumvention, but for robust connectivity in the vein of the original intent of DARPANet and the Internet: communication survivability.

ON top of deporting a US citizen recovering from brain cancer apparently the choice is to go ... or possibly lose your kid...

>The Trump administration’s border czar, Tom Homan, has said “families can be deported together” regardless of status. Homan said it would be up to the parents to decide whether to depart the U.S. together or leave their children behind.

>But undocumented parents of U.S.-born children, if picked up by immigration authorities, face the risk of losing custody of their children. Without a power-of-attorney document or a guardianship outlining who will take care of the children left behind, the children go into the U.S. foster care system, making it harder for the parents to regain custody of their children in the future.
Chartered (= small) planes crash sometimes. Helicopters crash a lot.

People may be interested in the interview with Wynn-Williams (the whistleblower) on the News Agents podcast: https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/episodes/7DrpKCA/ (it's a UK news/political podcast very popular in the UK).

From what they said at the beginning I think this is her first big podcast interview about the book/her claims. I wonder if she chose a UK podcast because of the US arbiter ruling.
The celebrity quoted in the article seemed eager to have his picture taken for the express purpose of getting it on Wikipedia, so you'd think that some of their agents would have gotten the message by now.

Pay a photographer, release the photo under some CC licence, slap it on Wikimedia Commons, and leave a message on the talk-page (“Hey, this recent photo looks better, can we use that?”), and done.

Weird how that doesn't seem to happen that often, despite many celebrities apparently really wanting it.
From that discussion:

>Taking old, resolved scandals - slapping a coat of culture war paint on it - and then selling it as a new scandal is already a popular MO for state-sponsored propoganda, so we should be extra wary of stories like this being massaged.

I think legitster is right here.
Good point I think there is a fundamental difference in the way people see software engineering, this doesn't have anything to do with generative AI, the disagreement existed way before then:

* for some it is a form of art or craftsmanship, they take pride of their work and view it not just as a means to an end, they hone their skills just like any craftsman will, they believe that the quality of the work and the goal or purpose it serves are intrinsically linked and can never be separated

* for others its a means to an end, the process or object it produces is irrelevant EXCEPT for the purpose it serves, only the end goal matters, things like software quality are irrelevant distractions that must be optimized away since they serve no inherent purpose

There is no way to reconcile this, these are just radically different perspectives.

If you only care about the goal then of course raising questions about the quality of the output of current state of generative AI will be of no concern to you.

It's an interesting theory, but it only holds if people still trust the US bond market. And with such an erratic administration, I wouldn't count on that.

Right now bond rates are pretty high, even with the market crashing/correcting. Just because people are selling stock doesn't mean that they'll automatically switch to bonds. That used to be true, but it's a dicey thing to count on right now.

Of course the current administration believes that it's extremely trustworthy and will salvage the economy, and make those bonds an excellent deal. That over-confidence is perhaps the best reason to believe the opposite. But an awful lot of Americans voted for this administration, so perhaps they'll make it a success anyway.

Plagiarism is a great analogy. It's great because what we call plagiarism in academic setting, in the real world work we call collaboration, cooperation, standing on the shoulders of giants, not reinventing the wheel, getting shit done, and such.

In academia, if a result is quoted, this is called called "scholarship". If, on the other hand, you simply copy-paste something without giving a proper reference, it's "plagiarism".
