Lol it is not hard to create a hidden service:

Prerequisites:

- Linux: You may need `sudo` privileges to install Tor and modify system files.

- macOS: Homebrew must be installed (`brew`) to manage Tor.

- A web server must already be running on the specified local port (e.g., 8080).

- Firewall: This function does not configure the firewall. Ensure that:

- Tor’s default port (9050) is allowed.
- Your web server’s port (e.g., 8080) is accessible locally.

echo "Success! Your web server is now available on the Tor network." >&2

}

# Example usage
# serve -p 8080
# add_tor_hidden_service 8080
add_tor_hidden_service "$@"

Tested on macOS, probably good in other OS listed above. So run a server on a port. Then run this function. Boom, you have a hidden service.

Mining for a nice vanity hostname might be more difficult tho! How would that be done?
when i hear "intermittent fasting" i think once or twice a week. Also it's not a silver bullet, but it does "shrink the stomach" a bit if you are mindful of the volume of food you consume to break the fast. better to, as your sibling said, break with a light meal with all the macronutrients and a decent chunk of micronutrients and vitamins than a lumberjack's breakfast. Or if you break in the evenings, the buffet is probably not ideal.

Maybe when people realize they don't need as much food as they thought - especially grasses (sugar, wheat, corn, specifically), they can "change their relationship with food."

or just ozempic i guess, what do i know.

hey i wanted to ninja and let you know i have no problem with what you or sibling said, at all. I'm just speaking to the topic, not trying to argue. I realize a skim makes it seem like i was disagreeing!

> LeCun isn't saying that LLMs aren't useful. He's just concerned with bigger problems, like AGI, which he believes cannot be solved purely through linguistic analysis.

It feels like special pleading: surely _this_ will be the problem class that doesn’t fall to “the bitter lesson”.

My intuition is that the main problem with the current architecture is that mapping into tokens causes quantization that a real brain doesn’t have, and lack of plasticity.

I don’t build models, I spend 100% of my time reading and adjusting model outputs though.
https://gist.github.com/gmatuz/7186f583df5f28196cc1f402af3bf...

This gist is pretty much the exact code, from the base64 encoded stuff. Looks like who ever put this in at least neafed the shell script.
You are right my apologies. It only says we paid a quarter of a billion dollars to “study” which in this case meant paying for “non profits” to comb through a bunch of nobodies posts online in addition to paying for government employees to be on site at twitter specifically.

So you’re right it doesn’t say the directly cut a check. Only paid for people to find it. Paid for the people to communicate the offending posts to the social media companies.

In addition to all this the Biden admin “coerced and pressured”.

I won’t accept this if trump does it and I won’t accept Biden having done it. I cannot fathom how anyone would, given how quickly the winds have changed in America. It should be painfully obvious that the tools “your side” uses will be used by your political enemies.
What happens if you have a group with N+1 members and then remove the extra one? That would be a weird error message to write... "you can't remove X because everyone else is already in a group?"
AFAIK they only allow the very top security experts to work on WireGuard and there are very few such people who also know iOS/macOS and who are willing to volunteer. You might be better off using a "wrapper" such as Tailscale.
I'm a retiree. I don't have much time left to spend it on cooking. Going to a restaurant takes even more time than cooking. Ordering and opening the door is much faster. Anyway, my assistant does that. I do cook meals that take no more than 5 minutes of my time, like boiled eggs, rice, grilled meat or quick salad.
lol ooops, missed who I was talking to ;)
> Every time a manufacturer says vague descriptions like "security" or "performance" fixes, be wary - they probably removing perfectly working functionality for "reasons"

I have a pair of WF-1000XM3s and this is painfully true. ANC was brilliant on these until I naively updated, and whoosh - instantly and grossly degraded ANC, to the point I previously almost didn't hear people talking at distance, keyboard chatter, city traffic etc. and now I do, no matter the app settings.

I wanted to upgrade to the in-ear XM4s, but after this? NEVER again Sony. At least for portable audio. I got instead a pair of cheap QCY HT07s (then $28, now ~$20) and got quite surprised with ANC performance on these: easily beats the crap of the XM3s-on-latest-firmware, and gets close to the previous one in audio quality. Which is a lot to say about Sony "updates".
Profits over patients.

Pharmacies have to have crazy high prices though because PBMs reimburse at such shit rates, based on some percentage of the price given to them. Because if they buy the bottle at $30 and list the price at $60, the PBM contract will only reimburse at the adjusted wholesale price (another made up number), eg: 17% plus a $1.99 dispensing fee. This disgusting math results in getting a loss on the drug.

Even all this leaves out some of the most absurd abuses of PBMs. They set minimum drug copays, have the pharmacy collect a $15 copay for a $5 drug, and have the pharmacy pay the PMB the $10 difference. They make it a breach of contract for the pharmacy to inform the patient this is happening or to charge the $5 and bypass the insurance. The total lack of anything even approaching ethnics is absurd...
That's the multi-million dollar question. Can they alter functionality of purchased devices so drastically, without exposure to class-action lawsuit about fitness for purpose? If an Echo Zigbee device is disconnected from the internet and currently working, how long will that continue to work?

If Echo Zigbee devices will effectively be bricked from their current offline purpose and use cases, it could motivate attempts to re-purpose the hardware. Has nothing been learned from the recent Sonos debacle?
If you respond like that to a basic question you don't work at Tesla, and you are acting out for no reason.
from the abstract

By incorporating DyT, Transformers without normalization can match or exceed the performance of their normalized counterparts, mostly without hyperparameter tuning.
If true this is very nice incremental improvement. It looks like it doesn't meaningfully improve the capabilities of the model, but is cheaper to compute than RMSNorm (which essentially all current state of art LLMs use) which means faster/cheaper training.
FUD / Citation required. Quick google search reveals you are incorrect (components of M2 shifted, and portions moved between M1 and M2, but M1 is a subset of M2, so there is no significant change to total M2 supply before and after).

Also Federal Reserve is not part of the US Government.
I don’t really mean this to be derogatory toward people who enjoy other things, but Ruby is a language and ecosystem by and for people who have taste.
Reminds me of Trump’s view on Covid testing, “If We Stop Testing, We’d Have Fewer Cases”.

>I adopt rather the opposite virutes. Imprudence, risk, throwing-your-self-at-a-wall-until-you-cant, intemperance (conflict, debate, disagreement, competition) and pragmatism (address what is rather than what should be).

Pragmatism is a form of prudence. A lot of the other stuff you mention could vaguely be called fortitude.

>Outside of that, personally I think: attach too much, risk more than you ought, and participate in the world ("dirty your hands") by making the best of it, rather than anything more abstract.

This is a recipe for unhappiness. By definition, attaching too much will ultimately (and perhaps immediately) cause you grief. Risking more than what is prudent could lead you to disaster. (Quit your job, for example, and you could end up homeless! That might be a good time to start thinking stoically but a better one would be prior to making such a mistake.) Participating in the world and making the best of it is what stoicism calls for, but it questions what is worth your energy and how you should react to failure.

>Professors of stocism like to make a virute of dying quiety -- this i think absurd. If the plane is falling from the sky, i envy the people screaming -- they have the right levels of attachemnt to their own lives.

The classical Stoic discussion of death is more of a rhetorical device than a prescription for how to live. Nobody is out here saying you should treat your life as unimportant. But extreme fear of death is a thing that gives people anxiety, and sometimes interferes with them doing things that they ought to do.

I've read many Stoic quotes about making the most of life and not wasting time. That kind of stuff isn't suggestive of laying down to rot. I've never seen a Stoic praise excessive laziness.
The one built into confluence because then someone else can edit it. But I am not an architect. If I was I may get a dedicated tool.

This is great.

After seeing the Leaf upgrades I do hope that we continue to see these aftermarket batteries that keeps EVs alive long after the manufacturer has given up.
I’ve been reading about RCS for maybe 10 years now, yet it’s not really available/usable for everyone? It feels like Vaporware at this point.
I think you'd have to have nerves of steel as a company to try either of those maneuvers. The wind can be unpredictable so close to a structure, it is a cramped environment filled with objects and materials you can't predict, even a meal for 2 can be kindof bulky (doubly so bc it has to be packed well enough to be airworthy), the load might shift internally, and if you screw up there's a good chance a drone goes plummeting 20 stories down onto a crowded sidewalk.
I don't know if it's the case, but there's a difference between knowing something and calculating its derivative fast enough for it to be useful.
this looks nice! I also recommend chibi for an easily embedded scheme in C.
While it's an encouraging developement that many consumers seem to be holding Tesla responsible for its CEO's overt political actions, which seems like a fair tit for tat, Tesla is more than just that one guy.

People working for them -- for the engineering challenges, for the ecological vision, for the opportuinty to secure a living for their family, for whatver reason -- deserve the opportunity to weather the storm for a while.

It may soon be in the company's interest to boot Musk, but that doesn't mean that all the people invested in their vision should be abanonding ship just yet. Thousands of people have done good, earnest work there and needn't be held to immediate account for one person's controversial behavior.

Choosing to buy a different brand of car is a whole different thing than choosing to quit a job and uproot one's life. Give it a minute, maybe.
You’ve pretty much indirectly nailed the issue: on iOS, iMessage is much more than just a “chat app”. It has an unrivaled feature set on iOS that isn’t replicable on other chat apps. The discourse that reduces it to a “chat app” is critically missing this point.

This wouldn’t mean much if iOS was a small percentage of phones. In regions where it is a majority of phones people use those additional features. In places like the US where most people are using iOS, most people don’t even realize those features don’t exist or are semi-broken on other chat apps because they don’t use them. For average people that have been using iMessage for a long time with other iMessage users, using those other chat apps feels like a downgrade.
That is fair. This about governments, though. As an individual, you can be quite vulnerable; and you should always prioritize yourself first (if you are struggling, how are you going to help anybody else).

Also remember that you can significantly contribute in non-financial way (ie: teaching, connecting people to jobs, etc..)
A relevant video by Real Engineering: "Geothermal Energy is Changing" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_EoZzE7KJ0 (21m53s) [2025-03-01]

The company being discussed is Quaise Energy: https://www.quaise.energy/ , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaise
i have an rpi zero w (i think) that came as part of a voice kit - a cardboard box, an rgb led arcade button, a speaker, and a really COOL mems multi-microphone array pi zero hat. Out of the box it had raspbian or whatever on it, and a config file you edited while following instructions that came in the kit - you have to set up a firebase account, authorize the "app" on the pi, and so on. It basically gave you access to the google ecosystem in a tiny cardboard box, like a cube a baseball might fit in.

It didn't have a wakeword, you'd hit the arcade button (which had a dim color when inactive), it'd pulse white or blue, and then the assistant voice would ask whatever google assistants ask, and the light would change red, and you could ask your question, the light would pulse, and a second or two later, the assistant would talk, replying to your request or whtaever.

now, i am working from memory, so it may have been amazon services, but i am unsure if they allow third party access, and it may have immediately waited for your question when you pushed the button. I don't remember.

If i can find one of my boxes, in a closet gathering dust next to the rest of my rpi, i'll at least try to get the model/name of the microphone array hat, because i think that's the part that will make a DIY voice assistant work rather than be a curiosity.

mine stopped working after a few weeks, and i couldn't ever figure out why. I think maybe google or whatever wanted money for API usage, or they changed the rules of how firebase worked... but the hardware still works, it just doesn't "wake up" when you push the button. the logs show the button push, etc.

anyhow, i got the last two at target like 5(?) years ago, for $10 each. i think it was called "AIY Voice Kit"
The rise and fall of the Hanseatic League
Hong Kong did not collapse. eh, it is doing okay. Sure you have a reduction in liberties but that's not what collapse means.
They're saying that publicly disclosing the vulnerability is bad because now it will be fixed.
Am I seeing this correctly, that a (fake/impersonation?) Renovate bot actually proposed the fix... and then other repositories trickled that fix in, also suggested by Renovate or Dependabot, as the dependency updated?

I usually fork (or create my own) actions, as I do not trust the whole chain on GitHub. The marketplace does no enforcement. It is really based on trust you have in the 3rd-party... and I do not have this; as many actions have side-effects, or only operate on a specific runner OS, etc.
I think the closest and most recent example we have is the Soviet Union. The US has a more homogeneous culture and language though. However, I can see states "caring" about themselves more than the union. This might actually turn out good for some states though probably catastrophic for some others.

> Before May 2020, M2 consists of M1 plus (1) savings deposits (including money market deposit accounts); (2) small-denomination time deposits (time deposits in amounts of less than $100,000) less individual retirement account (IRA) and Keogh balances at depository institutions; and (3) balances in retail money market funds (MMFs) less IRA and Keogh balances at MMFs.

> Beginning May 2020, M2 consists of M1 plus (1) small-denomination time deposits (time deposits in amounts of less than $100,000) less IRA and Keogh balances at depository institutions; and (2) balances in retail MMFs less IRA and Keogh balances at MMFs. Seasonally adjusted M2 is constructed by summing savings deposits (before May 2020), small-denomination time deposits, and retail MMFs, each seasonally adjusted separately, and adding this result to seasonally adjusted M1.

EDIT: Of course since M1 is what really changed, M2 is effectively the same.

That is true and a big part of the reason why the world let the US get away with lots of stuff. But I think if the nature of the economical relation changes too much (ie: the US demand more juice to flow back to it), I can see how these countries might seriously consider (and maybe go for it) to break from the system. Will be a very wild ride.

There were always a big group of people who were obsessed about configs and plug-ins. My impression is that once NeoVim appeared all of them moved from Vim to NeoVim so that's why we have the impression about NeoVim being turned into Emacs.

Personally I use almost stock NeoVim (~30 lines config, with 2 tiny plugins, one of which I wrote myself). I find NeoVim to be very close to Vim, but with a few better corners. Things that I like are things like default `gc` operator for commenting and uncommenting portions of code.
> As a condition of checking in to see his doctor, on a silly tablet

As with QR codes in restaurants, reception tablets with NDA boilerplate, or electronic security scanners, declining to use an electronic device can lead to the magical appearance of a manual alternative, where lines of text on paper can be crossed out manually before signing and taking a photo for your records.

This is because the consent (of 99% who will not decline) is only valid if the 1% who choose to decline can actually do so. If everyone is forced and it's literally impossible to decline consent, then none of it is consent, and they may as well omit the text and do whatever they want anyway. The act of asking consent for ridiculous terms is actually quite positive, if one ignores the implied pressure of a silicon wrapping.
do you know of any other ones like this that post their offers?
How about this one that says Dick Durban is supporting Hamas because he has advocated for the release of Mahmoud Khalil? Along with all the celebration of DHS arrests on campus and advocating to deport more students, calling Khalil and campus protests terrorism, and proclaiming that support for Palestine is a mastermind plot by Iran to destroy America? I could also accept a description as “extremists out in their own far-crazy that just happen to have identified the left as the enemy and the right as their friend”, but it’s gonna get shortened to “far-right”.

Global security (lots of countries exist because of the US), Tech industry (ie: Operating system), Food/Energy and some manufacturing. I think only the first two are critical for the rest of the world. The rest can be substituted.
I’m not that wealthy but have learnt not to feel guilt about that, or feeling guilt about most things (maybe if I’m actively wrong eg if I had actively hurt people, but now that’s a moral thing not a guilt thing)

Guilt is often unhealthy and leads people to do destructive things that is more damaging.

But I can totally understand why people would feel guilt

Even Chomsky has said that you could read the NYT from back to front to partially counteract the bias toward cozying up to power. (I.e., the stories that show bias in favor of U.S. govt are the ones at the front that are most prominently placed.)

Toplevel OP, however, is saying some things that are more radical and less studious:

* "NYT aligns itself with power at every opportunity." Because the statement is totalizing it is trivially disproved. Off the top of my head-- see the "Pentagon Pundits" story by David Barstow[1]. It won a Pulitzer and was published while Bush was still president. It was also a front-page story IIRC.

* "never ran the story to protect GW's chances at reelection." IIRC Glenn Greenwald was the most vocal/detailed critic of Keller's cowardice on spiking the domestic surveillance story in the lead up to the 2004 election. But even he didn't claim Keller did in order to help GW win the election. OP made that up out of whole cloth.

I don't think HN comments like this are propaganda, but they are low-effort and apparently impulsively written.

At least nobody has yet used the pretentious terms "Gell-Mann Amnesia" or "Overton window" in this thread, so that's progress. :)

Yes, many companies will cap out on the advancement ladder so that at that point there's no requirement to advance further formally. Any company doing up or out indefinitely will obviously just drop valuable resources. You can still advance in pay etc.
