This begs the question, does the G-factor (IQ) curve have diminishing returns and are humans meaningfully on the diminishing returns side of the curve? It's not at all obvious that a super AI would have an intellect incomprehensible to

Ultimately it boils down to lack of competition + enormous overheads due to regulation, legal & political risk and uncertainty. The accidents were spectacular, even though they resulted in so very few deaths. For most people nuclear is

Is there a legal reason why they can't just scrape reddit and forget about API? It would be the app users doing the scraping.

But how would you do this? Sensor fusion with inertial sensors is well understood, how do you fuse g into the equation to improve things?

What would you do with the g measurement to get your location? Can g deltas be matched to sea floor contour maps? Otherwise it seems like subs would have to be following g-mapped routes.

This sort of move has no downsides for the incumbents. Either they succeed and achieve regulatory capture or they poison the well sufficiently that further regulation will not be feasible. Ultimately, the reward for attaining an AGI agent i

How is that relevant here? mullvad has to keep track of who to forward the port to, any NAT ports are going to be ephemeral and conducted through an encrypted tunnel.

by rogers18445 3y ago
For torrenting, port forwarding is only marginally important - for torrents which have very few peers and you can connect to none of them. It's also risky because mullvad certainly has records of forwarded ports and can out you if they

The natural fallacy is seeing your children in any way a continuation of yourself. They are independent entities.

To some people death and the end of the universe are equivalent events. Others seek refuge in natural fallacies. The difference between this moment and all others, is that amorality is actually achievable. If you can get an AGI and drown it

The reason why regulation is going to fail is simple. AGI is the supreme bet, the Gamble to Resurrection. Faced with death years to decades from now or a chance at amortality. Which would you choose? Would you be willing to bet on p(doom) w

If you are in the tech industry in the US this is actually a good thing, EU is trying very hard to remain and become even more uncompetitive. Already, the EU is mostly a breeding ground for talent that is then extracted by the US. The more

These things are typically bureaucratic security theater. Terrorists can sideload. The decision makers just care to be seen doing something, whether it's useful or not is not their problem.

I don't understand what people are doing to be able to assert that a streaming service is more convenient than piracy. For me, piracy is more convenient than streaming by a significant margin. Visit one of the very public torrent site

When evolution molds a genepool it does so with inbuilt assumptions, one the assumptions is exposure to some level of sunlight. Deviating from these assumptions would result in undefined behavior (in the CS sense) for individuals. If an ind

So is the rosenpass tunnel separate from the non PQC tunnel (the non PQC tunnel being used just for rosenpass)? Because afaik the moment the PSK is changed all packets immediately start being encrypted by it. If the change doesn't coin

Do you have a reason to not use Kyber? The way it is combined should be sound.
18.
by rogers18445 4y ago
Nice. But I think you missed an update, Mullvad now also uses Kyber, your tool doesn't appear to. You also don't need Go: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/blob/main/talpid-t...

by rogers18445 4y ago
True. But they should have just forked either wireguard-go or boringtun to implement this functionality, and give up on the wg driver, the WG author seems like he doesn't care about PQC. Juggling multiple tooling is always a hassle. It

Mullvad VPN has a PQC key exchange feature, they are even using two algorithms in parallel: McEliece and Kyber. https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/tree/main/talpid-t...

I used to work on an anti-cheat briefly, and migrated away form relying on Windows API to do this as the parent comment suggested, instead we used cache timing "attacks". Antivirus was a concern but easily solved by the fact that

It's just a few commands using the ip tool. You can read about it here: https://www.wireguard.com/netns/ Wireguard is special in that after creating a wg0 interface you can move it to another namespace and its [en

They apparently caught him because he logged into a wiretapped gmail with a VPN. It's not difficult to segment your network such that some software does not use a VPN tunnel. On Linux, it can even be made fool-proof with network namesp

Vegetable oils require an industrial process of extraction - with high temperatures and hexane, and the output is novel to humans on evolutionary scale. Vegetable oils don't come from actual vegetables, they come from inedible waste wh

They will apparently include calibration options in the next firmware update. And it's not as much as of a hassle as first appears. After a week you can expect readings to drift downward by 50-200 ppm depending on whether or not you ai

You exhale about 1kg of CO2 per day, 27% of it is carbon. Have you ever noticed your plants gaining 300g of matter per day? You need enormous quantities of chloroplast life in your house to help you - and to constantly shovel excess out, im

I do wonder if perhaps the good NVME SSD controllers come with magic. It would take a single instance of malware ruining SSD's with 4000x write amplification to taint some brands while aiding the marketing of others.

by rogers18445 4y ago
Those writes would have to be significantly smaller than the SSD's page (sector) size which is 512 bytes or 4 KiB. And would have to be written to different pages in rapid succession (to be flushed apart) - a standard serial write woul

This doesn't actually matter in a practical sense. Assuming 24/7, it's 3TB a year. Which is ~1% drive endurance. Also, if you are worried about overwriting the same files over and over, it also doesn't matter. Block devi
