Is it a compression when you need presumably gigabites of a model to reconstruct the data?

It’s basically the same as saying I can shatter compressions records by hashing the thing and using a rainbow table to decompress it.

The fact that Meta has a C-suite position that’s called Chief Privacy Officer is my favorite absurdly ironic fact.

I can’t imagine how can anyone apply to that with a strait face and clear conscience, but that’s prpbably true for most positions at Meta, aside from like Beat Games and the like.

Pick a few gamejams on Itch.io, and take a look at their discord. If it’s poular, they probably have a LFG channel where you can connect with people that do actual art and are looking for a team.

Talk with them, make a group, make a game over the weekend. Keep in touch and keep making friends like this, and you will eventually find someone who’s willing to help you out with art for your game.

You left? Murderer.

Is it only me being paranoid, or does this sound AI written? Is has exactly the diction AI uses.

Seeing “subscribe and leave a comment bellow” paragraph taken out of the article as presumably the important part in the link synopsis in this post is pretty bizar :D

Haven’t read the article so I can’t actually judge it, but an article about the harm of solars on a website called “Scientific American” is pretty funny. Name a more iconic duo :D

To be fair, last internal pentest I was doing before switching jobs was like more than 5 years ago, so the situation might’ve changed.

I’ve done a lot of internal infrastructure pentests, for companies of various sizes, and there wasn’t a single pentest where spraying MonthYYYY for the past two months wouldn’t get at least one hit.

That, and the fact that every company has at least one server hidden somwhere that’s still vulnerable to MS17-010, that they can’t update or replace for one reason or the other.

Isn’t that basically the definiton of paradox of tolerance?

I’m pretty sad that people have to be perverts and glasses with cameras got such a bad rep.

It is deserved and not surprising, and I’m not trying to defend them, but I was so looking forward to AR glasses with cameras, so I could finally get a working ad-block IRL, which should be easily possible with the tech.

But, that requires a camera. It’s a shame, and I’ll definitely rather continue dealing with ads than support enabling perverts (or Meta, anyway), but it sounded like such a cool use-case.

I hate how there are always groups who have to ruin everything for others :(

Not trying to defend them, and I haven’t looked at the feature set of the new Discord integration, but I can imagine a reason for most of those - assuming, of course, that you can basically chat in through WoW on discord.

Afaik it links channels, but to know if your profile is in the server the channel is on, or join you there, it would need to manage and read servers, no? Of course, there are probably better ways how to do that, that respect your privacy a little bit more.

The friendlist I’m having a hard time justifying, can you send DMs from WoW?

But I do honestly wonder how would a MVP permission set looked like if you tried implementing the same integration they are doing, whatever it is.

But yeah, Microslop hoarding data is probably the reason for most of those.

That is pretty cool!

I had no idea you could get such a long range contacts, that’s cool. It does sound like a nice community.

Also, it sounds pretty impressive to me, even though I’ve never experienced lack of internet/mobile phones. While I had it granted for basically all my life, I have a respect for analog things, and have been a fan of sending letters. I have the luxury that I can romanticize the slower/analog way of living, without actually having to live through it to ruin my experiences, hah!

Thanks, this post has inspired me, while it’s not exactly HAM, I was considering getting Meshcore/Meshtastic relays, which I assume is kind of similar but chat instead of voice, so I might look into it some more. I assume the communities might be similar, and it sounds like a nice hobby.

Thank you, that makes sense. I’ve always been a fan of analog technology (although I never really got the motivation to actually look into it seriously), so I can imagine that being fun.

It does sound pretty interesting, I didn’t know you can get such a long range contacts. I can imagine it is a pretty nice community!

While I don’t ahve emacs experience, I did recently learned VIM, and there is one parallel I’ve been surprised to learn.

For me, it wasn’t Dwarf Fortress, but Starcraft. There’s a pleasurable joy in being able to do complex actions based on just muscle memory, especially if the actions are complex. Learning VIM was fun not because it made me a better or faster programmer, but because it was joy to use and master - learning new “combos”, being able to do them fast and without thinking, and there was always room for adding new moves and combinations into my repertoire.

In a way it has reminded me of Starcraft. When you get to the level where you’ve mastered the controls, the game becomes extremely different and pleasurable to play. Being able to turn your throughs, that require a complex set of actions, into reality just by pure muscle memory feels pretty good, and VIM scratches the same itch as Starcraft did in this sense.

The game looks super complex, seeing the programmers with their 200 APM, but once you actually learn to do the base actions through pure muscle memory, it’s not that difficult - and it has surprised me how satisfying it is. And it’s the same with VIM - I’ve had a rough start, but once I learned a few moves, it has suprised me how quickly have I internalized them and how good it feels.

I can imagine this being the case with any complex control scheme, purely on a physical satisfaction level.

I’ve been wondering, what is amateur radio hobby about? I’m guessing I’m too young to understand it, since when I was growing up we already had a dial-up and then internet and mobile phones became common as I was starting highschool, but it sounds interesting.

I see a lot of notepads next to the radios in the article, is it about just catching and monitoring the traffic for fun, kinda similar to i.e birdwatching but with radio waves? Or do you talk to other radio operators around you and hang out?

I’m honestly curious what do people generally do, when they become amateur radio operators.

Exactly this, especially the last sentence.

I only have pretty basic machine learning knowledge, based on a few Master’s classes at college while I was doing gamedev, and even with that I can tell that the way they are expecting to get AGI by just feeding more data into a language model is simply not happening.

I remember a comparison from one of the AI-pilled tech-bros when AI was starting to get attention, and his metaphor about AGI was something along the lines of “Imagine a difference between a medieval commoner and Albert Einstein, that’s the difference in inteligence AI will soon have to the smartest people we know now”.

But that doesn’t make sense with the current approach. Imagine Einstein writing his cutting-edge theories, and the commoner is watching him behind his shoulder and vetting anything he does. Scratching his ideas, forcing him to redo it, if he doesn’t like it, pointing to a reddit thread about why. There’s no way he would ever finish anything new.

Unless they figure out a completely new way how to do AI reasoning, there is no way we’re getting anywhere near AGI. And that is also becoming more unlikely the longer we go with this approach, because every AI-pilled company is heavily outsourcing all of development to the current models, reducing their employee (and the whole worlds) innovation potential and skill. This is probably the last generation that can do serious academia, unless there are drastic measures done to limit access to AI in education. It’s fucked.

Oh, of course. I mean, it’s an AI race, the more users you have, the better.

But you are right that I have not considered that it could be contributing to the attrocities China is doing domestically, especially with how is their social credit thing going (if that’s still a thing, haven’t really checked on it for decade at this point), adding a good AI to the mix is dreadful to think about.

Soo, yeah. From a strictly selfish point of view, it’s probably better to send your personal data to china, assuming you’re not likely to visit. That is assuming they are not selling their data to the US brokers, but it feels unlikely they’d be allowed to. The cost, however, is you’re helping with enabling a regime with keeping their citizens in line.

On the other hand, US providers are the same, the regime just didn’t have a headstart to have the oppression infrastructure already in place. So, yeah. The only winning move is not to play (or just have a local model).
