I've always thought the exact same thing. The harm was ~800m USD to a private company. Sounds big, but it's nothing compared to actual state sponsored anything.

Just to add some more (possibly useful) context from the encounter....

The FBI was not able to unlock many LUKS secured devices - at all. They had zero success over approx 30 days, and had to explore alternative methods to obtain key material.

The FBI was not able to decrypt blowfish2 (ie vim -x).

The FBI was not able to decrypt ccrypt secured files (ie aes256).

The administration has not made this argument though. You have.

So why should we default to the position of not trusting those systems when every previous administration has used it without issus.
At the lower end of useful bitrate there's absolutely a difference. Video encoding is complex territory and there's no way around knowing and understanding "optimum settings" when wanting to keep bitrate down, no matter MPEG-4 ASP, H.264, H.265, AV1, what-have-you.
I agree with your points about the challenges in both suburban and urban environments. I think the design of public spaces also plays a significant role. Intentional design can help overcome some of these challenges and foster more impromptu social interactions.
>> The first time a top lab spent millions trying to beat ARC was actually in 2021, and the effort failed.

Which top lab was that? What did they try?

>> ARC was the only benchmark that highlighted o3 as having qualitatively different abilities compared to all models that came before.

Unfortunately observations support a simpler hypothesis: o3 was trained on sufficient data about ARC-1 that it could solve it well. There is currently insufficient data on ARC-II to solve it therefore o3 can't solve it. No super magickal and mysterious qualitatively different abilities to all models that came before required whatsoever.

Indeed, that is a common pattern in machine learning research: newer models perform better on benchmarks than earlier models not because their capabilities increase with respect to earlier models but because they're bigger models, trained on more data and more compute. They're just bigger, slower, more expensive- and just as dumb as their predecessors.

That's 90% of deep learning research in a nutshell.
"clearly" is such a stretch, this photo would be completely useless to someone who has never seen a cat before, they wouldn't learn to recognize it from such picture alone, the other photos you linked do look a lot better.

You assert things strongly, but you are not an arbiter of truth about data classification in the federal government - this is certainly an area where discussion can be had and where becoming more informed increases the quality of discussion. Interestingly enough, many of the people in charge of data classification in the federal government were on said Signal thread!

I could assert that you're lying, etc - as you're effectively committing the same sin as the poster who originally got downvoted - but that wouldn't be having a conversation; it'd be a rude refusal to tolerate a conversation. I encourage you to assume good intent and engage instead of hurling accusations at people - even if they're new accounts.
They're glass-half-full type models.
I quit my job a couple years back to work on this app full-time, as well as its companion flashcard app, Manabi Flashcards. The goal is to help you learn through immersion.

What's special about it? Manabi Reader became popular as an Japanese-focused alternative to services like LingQ in that it locally tracks and analyzes all the words and kanji you read and study. It shows you which words are new and which you're currently learning via flashcards, so you can easily find content that suits your level and see what flashcards to prioritize adding. It also passively accumulates an on-device (and in your personal iCloud) corpus of example sentences from your reading.

I had built this part-time while working over many years (starting with flashcards and then the reader app) but going full-time gave me the time to do a full rewrite: SwiftUI, native iOS + macOS, and an offline-first architecture that syncs with iCloud and my server in the background.

Although it has a companion SRS algorithm (SM-2) flashcard app, it's also excellent for mining Anki cards. This works with AnkiMobile on iOS and AnkiConnect on desktop.

You can use it like a web browser for the web, or subscribe to RSS feeds. It comes with a bunch of curated content by level. Recently I added EPUB support, pitch accents, and note-taking with todos.

I'm now almost done adding a manga mode via Mokuro.

Next I plan on adding more media types (video, YouTube, PDFs), AI functionality (grammar explanations, document Q&A, etc), Yomitan/Yomichan dictionaries for bilingual/monolingual EPWING and Wiktionary support, and more service integrations such as 2-way sync for WaniKani, JPDB, and existing Anki decks. I've begun work on these items and hope to share more soon.

I'd also like to make this app much more beginner-friendly so that people with zero Japanese knowledge can start learning. Currently it assumes you can read kana at least.

Based on the abstract, it seems you are correct. It focuses on acceleration for rendering, not optimization.
Of course! If the codebase gets non-performant or hard to maintain, all you have to do is rewrite it to be not-that.

Typically makes sense to fire anyone who wrote the broken version too, just to get a fresh set of eyes on it.

Not sure why there’s any non-performant or unmaintainable code in light of this fact.
To avoid confusion, why not always use a general AI model upfront, then depending on the user's prompt, redirect it to a specific model?
It’s not just “opposing views”. It was calls for violence and support of terrorists. I guess the media didn't include that detail.

My current Bosch dishwasher that I bought almost 10 years ago does almost all of this (no eco mode or self-clean, though it does have a sanitize cycle which I would guess is effectively the same) with physical buttons and a 7 segment display. All of these “new” features seem so needless. They already solved it, my 10 year old dishwasher is a great dishwasher and I will happily use it until it dies.

I realize that that’s maybe the problem when the line must go up, but I am pretty sick of companies putting most of their efforts towards solving problems that no one actually has instead of doing a simple thing really well.

I was diagnosed with ALS and had lots of pain in my legs. I unfortunately couldn’t walk and was in a wheelchair. The disease progressed quickly, and there’s been little or no progress in finding reliable medical treatment for this horrible disease. In January this year our family doctor decided I should try alternative treatment as riluzole 50 mg didn’t slow the progression; I agreed and decided to start the ALS/MND protocol offered at UineHealth Centre. It’s been 4 months into the treatment, and the disease is totally under control, with no signs of muscle weakness, muscle pain, or choking when I eat. I recently have been able to walk down our street and back, something which I couldn't do prior to this year. I’m active again, and it has given me a better chance of fighting this disease. The ALS/MND treatment has relieved my symptoms significantly. I can feel my strength again; I feel better now than I have felt in years. You can find the treatment at the uinehealthcentre. com

I'd go with b: They've been talking for a while about finding information leaks, and the messages themselves seem a bit staged. They probably did it intentionally with different people, with slightly different wording, and because of which version got published they just identified a leak.

Depending on the location, the way to dissolve an HOA is nearly impossible. You need to find out what to do with community assets (in a condo situation, this is not possible), and you also usually need somewhere between 75-100% of all members voting 'yes' (not just present voting). If it's 100% of all members, just a single uncooperative board member could prevent dissolution.
Porch monkeys? :D
Even if they did, I’d assume the association of “full” and this correct representation would benefit other areas of the model. I.e., there could (/should?) be general improvement for prompts where objects have unusual adjectives.

It's amazing how understated some parts are. Like they just casually mention

> Like most Texas county judges, he does not have a law degree.

I'm sorry, what? Anyone off the street can be a judge? That one line begs soo many questions, and at least some outrage, which is simply glossed over.

Doing my own research, I guess I see why it's glossed over, because apparently this isn't uncommon - a quick search says that only 28 states require judges presiding over misdemeanors have a law degree. In 14 of the remaining 22, you can request a new trial from a lawyer-judge if you receive a jail sentence from a non lawyer-judge.

I take it for granted, to me it's common sense, that a judge should a law degree. I mean, how can one preside over and act as arbiter in legal matters without knowing the law?

> You're not accurately describing the argument the linked article is making

Page quote: "Benatar's antinatalist philosophy: sentient beings are harmed when they are brought into existence, and it is therefore wrong to procreate."

The absolutism and anthropocentrism inherent in that statement renders his whole argument kind of silly. The existence of life itself is inevitably going to cause harm, regardless of how self-aware that particular life form is. It might be smaller degrees of harm, or more indirect, but harm nonetheless.

Sure we should try to minimize the harm we cause others, within reason, on a case-by-case basis, but if your best solution to that is self-imposed specicide, what is the point of ethics?

(Also the comment about natural selection was a half-joke, not a stance on the argument, but your final sentence seems to agree with me anyway.)

A nice quote by Plunkett from the interview:

> There’s a cultural association between the time of exposure and the level of sophistication. You’d sound pretty vulgar if you said, Oh, yeah, I learned to play Bach when I was thirteen—that’s easy stuff. But people really do make pronouncements like that about literature. Someone I met a few years ago, a big poetry person, just could not believe that an adult would spend years of his life thinking about Robert Frost. To her it seemed like doing a Ph.D. in simple algebra.

I seem to recall very thin wings being touted as lower drag, but are unable to store fuel. Are the trusses there to support thinner wings?

Edit: the answer seems to be yes, they are thinner wings, called the Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW). However why is it transonic? higher speed would negate the fuel savings. Also this looks to be experimental and not for the next generation.

> What is Trump doing that isn’t lawful or constitutional?

Quite a lot of things. Many of them that might be Constitutional for the government but are illegal and unconstitutional for Trump because they would require Congressional action to make or change law to be valid, and that hasn't happened. That applies to, for instance, most of the spending cuts that are not done through the budget process and the mass firings.

> And why aren’t there any repercussions (as far as I know) for that?

There have been legal reversals, but court processes are slow. There aren't other consequence, because most other consequences for malfeasance by the Chief Executive require active Congressional action, and while Congress has not actively done what is necessary to make actions legal, it also hasn't been interested in taking corrective action against Trump, largely because the majority tacitly supports the illegal actions (both in their substance and the decision to do them by unlawful means.)

Typically the ones who cares about virtual vs. physical cards are the questionable vendors trying to push shady, automated, hard-to-cancel subscription services or alikes to customers.

Virtual cards are designed just for this purpose - to let consumers gain upper hand in shady business practices.

As much as I like BitTorrent, people (usually) don't want to provide open access to information; what they (usually) want is to be an "open" gateway to that information, as long as they are the centralized point of distribution whose name appears in the URL bar, and as long as they control when they can remove access to that information.

Creating a torrent is not showy enough, because the credit is "just" another file and/or a comment in the torrent metadata.

Granted, they usually do that because they want to "kindly" advertise a way to donate to them (EDIT: or to track you, or other similar goals), and there's nothing wrong with trying to get donations, but there's clearly a conflict of interest at play here.

LLM discussion of visualizations?

I did guerrilla usability testing around teaching scale, which included this video[1] (stop-motion animation using CO molecules). Lots of people asked "What are those ripples?". IBM even had a supplementary webpage addressing this (which I no longer see, even on archive). People could easily ask this with me standing beside them, but not so much if viewing the content online. Which raised the UI question of how to encourage such.

With LLMs, perhaps people will be able to ask questions of a visualization? What is that? Why is that? What about ...? I don't understand ... Does this mean ...?

I obviously have no idea if they added real or synthetic data to the training set specifically regarding the full-to-the-brim wineglass test, but I fully expect that this prompt is now compromised in the sense that because it is being discussed in the public sphere, it's has inherently become part of the test suite.

Yes these often end up in Eastern Europe where the carriers don't really care about that stuff. And most people can't pay full price for top end phones so there's much more market for this stuff.
