Astra is incredibly dumb and annoying to work with on "high" reasoning, for doing fairly well known distributed systems things, nothing majorly exotic, it still makes absolutely braindead decisions like deciding to re-use a random

We really need a change in mindset around what success means. Concentration of power, concentration of resources, concentration of market share are some measures of success. Out competing your rivals until you grind them into dust is some m

appreciate the input from someone who works in the codebase, but ok maybe tmux is openbsd secure, but it still has quirks and combined with agent harnesses not understanding them its a large attack surface Imo, what may be in inconsequentia

that just furthers my point, i was vaguely aware that it wasn't a full proof, but I'm not a mathathician, and that detail just re-enforces my point we are proving against human made axiom (certainty of numbers) which are almost ce

Who cares. the biggest thing about this is that its still brute force in a verifiable domain, and that it was still a human set goal. I also don't believe it much practical use, unless I'm mistaken, approximations of Navier stokes

as I mentioned in another sibling, its because it's a very common denominator in high value targets. I didn't know its legacy was from OpenBSD but I really doubt that that helps it much in this scenario, when I say LPE I'm no

the point is tmux is being used by many developers working in high value targets to automate long running unsupervised agent tasks. you don't need the user to execute code, you need _their agent_ to stumble on the wrong search result o

Whatever about the specifics of this bug and whether its a useful vector, this is not surprising even in the slightest? My current opinion on LLMs is that they are superhuman in that they lack fatigue, they have close to full knowledge acro

If you are technical and want root its very easy to patch a build of GrapheneOS to include whatever mechanism you want. You can even automate this to continue to receive updates. I think the decision of GrapheneOS to maintain the attestatio

the examples I used were not generalized in any way at all. They were specifically picked examples that were at or approaching the limit of the definition, which is is a well known way of examining things in order to model them better. if y

this is a willful misreading of the dictionary. you are pointing to habit being used colloquially as a short hand for addiction , which of course it is, as demonstrated through this thread, and is plainly obviously used that way to anyone w

it absolutely is a habit, the fact that it affects you physiologically via pharma does not make it not a habit. a habit is something you do habitually, that is the exact definition of the word, and the reasons people do them vary wildly. I

Agree with most everything and will check our that interview, that attitude is how I try and live, but the last sentence is obviously not true. Taking heroin is a habit, going to a gym is a habit, and obviously one is much easier to stop wh

The mental model of how the law works that most people have is wrong. The law does not, by default, prosecute all crimes. There is no country in the world that has even close to the law enforcement capacity to investigate and prosecute all

my comment was tounge-in-cheek, pointing out that its essentially eugenics which is a controversial topic. although apparently less so when its applied to "Y chromosome holders" as you can see in a sibling reply where this particu

cool idea. once we have mandated ivf as the only way of conception we can probably start selecting sperm from populations with higher than average iq too.

I mean some people have a definition of intelligence that includes a light switch, it has an internal state, it reacts to external stimuli to affect the world around it, so a light switch is more intelligent than a rock. Leaving aside where

We have messed up the terms. We already have AGI, artificial general intelligence. It may not be super intelligence but nonetheless if you ask current models to do something, explains something etc, in some general domain, they will do a mu

Fine, that's still extra information. More accurately in the context of the comment, its "Im gonna be an asshole to you because I think you don't have the life experience I do", which is at least, some kind of signal. I

Do you honestly think an insult never brought about a change in a person? You never think a carefully landed and accurate insult made someone reconsider their position? Weird, because in my experience, that has happened to every single pers

It was for effect. Maybe you'd prefer if we were all maximally polite drones but that's not how humans are, going back to GPs point, and I don't think it's a state than anyone truly wants either.

That would be removing information and strictly worse that including it. Communication is about communicating information, sometimes a terse short and aggressive style is the most effective way. It activates neurons in a way a paragraph of
