Imagine the consideration for the Trump admin, should we pay this guy a million bucks for this attack that gets us into the command system of Iran, or would that be unethical. Of course they don't consider that at this time.

Companies sometimes reward their employees with important bug fixes. When I worked on a big dev team, we'd even decide what were the most important fixes and give people a special 5k bonus or something. But they weren't security i

I never heard of it before today so know nothing about it. Wikipedia has an extensive discussion of it, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinj%C5%AB . Is this page false with bad references maybe, or was it just a literar

I have to admit, I wondered if that was it.

That looks cool. A wee suggestion, next time explain what granola is. We don't all necessarily live in your world. I was able to google it of course, https://www.granola.ai/ .

I kind of worry about new scientists minted today. When I did my phd in the 90s, the world wasn't blowing up. There wasn't a worry that some stupid llm (in the sense that it's not an intelligent being, talk among yourselves i

You get a bluetooth device that plugs into the odb port, or a patch cord that you connect to your raspberry pi. There are fancier ones with more features, that can do more than just report signals like watch for certain signals or changes.

Trump did actually make this proclamation today. It was a sarcastic comment.

Today we are living this dystopian life. Imagine you train an llm on all the millions of complaints that say comcast or some other semi-disfunctional company gets. Or police reports of accidents. Or suicide reports, or any of the endless hu

Run your own business that provides a service that isn't on a time clock. It's much easier to get a job making sandwiches or teaching kids or working in a factory. Doing your own thing is harder. Maybe you write books, maybe you w

Today I learned a new word, "Oulipo". Interesting. But what about the general idea that they can watermark results to tell where they came from. The next step is tracking down which user got a result. I hate both of these things.

I think that's a fair comment. We are all responsible for our collective actions as a country, even if we are a tiny voice in the nation, even if whatever side you are on is small. We can all dare to speak our thoughts to others, share

We had the dot com crash around 2000. Tons of companies died, but plenty of that infrastructure was still used, we built better internet connections across the country etc, that was good later. But so many companies died like pets.com. The

Yes. All these companies making "investments" in each other, where company A puts 10 billion into company B and company B buys 10 billion of company A's products can't work out well in the end. This is separate from the

I think it's certain that people will try recreating old viruses or making alternatives to them. It will be too easy. Make 5 variants of small pox, 5 variants of sars. Release them at once all around the world to make it hard to fight.

You are describing some people driving with FSD today. I bet hundreds or maybe thousands of people a day try letting it drive for a while without paying any attention. The car watches your eyes to be sure you don't do this, but people

Why do you deny blaming Trump? Most other republicans wouldn't have done that. He's opened up a new ability to ignore standards of behavior, but without him I really think it wouldn't have happened. And average voters have ne

That's an excellent point. If it's not close to 16:9 you hardly get more space, or you zoom the video a bit and cut off the sides. 16x9 seems to make more sense. But if you fold it in half, then I think you a weird sized device (w

Yes, the difference is you do exactly what they say, you follow legal orders to give your fingerprint, or also it could be "take a picture of you to unlock". I'm sure eventually the govt will make a new rule and a judge will

by Alive-in-2025 1mo ago
The theoretical scenario was the government seized your device, they don't give it back to you. You decline to give them they password. You don't say anything else, you have the right to remain silent. You aren't not telling
23.
by Alive-in-2025 1mo ago
Yes. But I apparently didn't make the point I wanted to. If you set your phone to delete everything when you scan your fingerprint, is that a crime? No password need be provided. You cannot avoid giving them your fingerprint to unlock

The goal of an ethics team will be to provide cover for problems created by decisions or suggestions of an llm. They will need to be able to say "We trained it to consider ethical considerations by " <including something like a

Since the courts decided you have to use your fingerprint to unlock your phone (because they decided that's not giving up your password and they can't compel you to give up your password), what if you use your fingerprint to wipe

The people up thread who replied to my original message give some other references for why this is the case. I agree with you that it is very surprising that it works this way, that this is considered a settled legal decision. From the tech

It's $30 off the $100 reservation fee, not off the entire price. Let's see if they manage to start delivering some finally now. There's no inherent reason you can't build something like this. Solar panels are getting mor

Hi, I wanted to ask you a further question about heat dissolution. You had commented on a previous posting of mine - I waited too long to reply and I can't reply to the original comment - it was this comment from me, https:/&#x2F

I'm the person who originally said "how can that be true about surveillance video?". I found a good writeup on it, https://www.techdirt.com/2020/02/24/can-you-license-video-yo... The tldr is yo

I guess you aren't kidding with your comments. Mentioning what something is, where that thing isn't that well know is not egregious. Also, don't the people who make SuperDuperer! want people to consider buying it? Telling the
