have you considered that a person who is in a life situation where turning to crime becomes a viable option is perhaps underestimating the risk and negative impact of either situation?

- the situation: you build cloud infrastructure via CLI or console

- the problem: if something gets deleted, or if you make a bunch of changes and want to undo them, or if you need to make a change to a lot of stuff at once, or if you want to copy what you've built to a new region, how do you do it? or, if you're on a team, how do you as a team make and track changes to your cloud infrastructure?

- terraform as a solution: you describe your cloud infrastructure as yaml files. terraform can figure out what is different between what's in your cloud infrastructure and what your yaml files say it should look like. and, it can make changes to your cloud to e.g. build it from scratch, make wide-ranging changes, make a copy of it, etc.

- since your yaml files are code, you can also create a repo and do PRs to make and track changes to your cloud infrastructure as it evolves over time

an entire article about a new font replete with fancy graphics and not a single quick brown fox to demonstrate it

maybe if it was unpreventable - but this seems like it could be easily prevented.

is there any evidence for this other than this tweet?

How can you be sure that investor signalling is their motivation?

If you're giving $30,000 per year as a gift, you should definitely be paying for an accountant and you should ask them about what options there are for tax optimizing this.

There may in your jurisdiction be nonobvious ways to structure this kind of thing that would be advantageous to both you and your parents.

wow, searching the thread is a nightmare. there's a non-native search panel that comes up with cmd+f, and you press cmd+f again to do a native browser search... and both of them don't actually search the thread, only the visible section. you have to scroll around to load all parts of the thread in order to actually search the whole thing, with either of the two searches!

I’ve been trying to read these Twitter files threads thoughtfully, and maybe it’s just a sign of the current average level of comfort with government involvement with social media platforms, but I’m generally not seeing much issue with the stuff being revealed.

the worst thing about this particular thread seems like the govt agencies talking to Twitter about foreign influence are overreaching a bit (eg asking them to look at Russian oligarchs’ troll farms for promoting anti-Ukrainian spam).

but I don’t see a problem with the FBI/CIA/etc having regular discussions with Twitter about potential threats, influence campaigns, etc.

the issue is that the large language model doesn’t understand what it’s saying, cannot reason or come up with novel ideas, yet it can convince a human that it _is_ doing so.

so then if the world begins to prefer AI-generated content, any question you ask the internet will only show you AI-generated answers, which can only offer you answers based on its training set, and over time a system with no new inputs just ends up being static generated from static, albeit static which is convincing enough for a human to accept it.

the point is justice

entire conversation shows up fine for me. i have no mastodon account nor am i logged in.

who?

seems like you'd need some sort of cognition before you could even begin to approach the "hump" of AGI

When the police see a car and run the plate and it comes back stolen, how should they “confirm the car is really stolen”?

I found it interesting as an early example of a similar line of reasoning with a similar conclusion.

The Wikipedia link mentions that: “Astronomer Carl Sagan quoted it in discussing India's "tradition of skeptical questioning and unselfconscious humility before the great cosmic mysteries."”

why not just not bring your phone? or keep it in airplane mode?

very cool!

tiny nit: solid grey blocks are paths and gradient tiles are walls, but my expectation is reversed

software side-channel leaks don't tend to kill people at the same rate as bridge-building, I'm not sure your dream will come true

In this comment section: a hundred people either missing the point, proving the point, or both!

with great optimization comes great complexity

Miso isn’t similar, but something that _is_ is a spread called Gohan Desuyo.

It’s made from seaweed and soy sauce but I’ve found it to be very similar to marmite

I don't think this rationale holds up to the least bit of scrutiny. How would a DPRK citizen hold or transact with cryptocurrency? On their heavily locked down and monitored computer devices on the heavily locked down and monitored national network?

wouldn't this just shift the trust from the police email address to the police email PGP signer? wouldn't hackers then just target that part of the infrastructure?

on iOS, the "Silence Unknown Callers" feature has completely eliminated this for me.

interesting that Cloudflare operates portions of the Private Relay infrastructure. @jgrahamc, can you share any details?
