There should exist a vulnerability disclosure intermediary. They can function as a barrier to protect the scientist/researcher/enthousiast and do everything by the book for the different countries.

Wait until you find out about WebWifi

Think so too. We will be an ancient artifact tied to a biological substrate surviving nowhere else in the universe and very dumb.

There also will not be one AI. There will be many, all competing for resources or learning to live together.

That's what we can teach them now. Or they will teach us.

Any background info on the betting on cameras alone? It sounds as silly as betting on an artificial version of our proprioception to be implemented in cars to measure acceleration. I also don't think they went all the way regarding neuromorphic engineering with spiking neural nets and artificial retinas. It's just so random to me what was decided to be good enough for autonomous navigation.

Tesla went from very expensive cars down to cheaper ones. It would make so much more sense to do the same for perception. First go over board and go for high bandwidth input and lots of processing power and optimize later.

"I've often found myself uneasy when LLMs (Large Language Models) are asked to quote the Bible. While they can provide insightful discussions about faith, their tendency to hallucinate responses raises concerns when dealing with scripture, which we regard as the inspired Word of God."

Interesting. In my very religious upbringing I wasn't allowed to read fairy tales. The danger being not able to classify which stories truly happened and which ones didn't.

Might be an interesting variant on the Turing test. Can you make the AI believe in your religion? Probably there's a sci-fi book written about it.

In the Netherlands it is a prefix, at the beginning.

Building technology might be actually kind of easy compared to finding product-market fit. The latter might be better described as "sales team - network - existing practices - existing monopolies - adoptation rate - product iteration speed - right region" fit.

Retrospective questions would also be really great. Why did the lights not turn off downstairs this night? Or other questions involving history.

Through voltage glitching isn't it? Which rev protects against it? Must be quite new.

If this article is concerned about ethics at IBM https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust might be an interesting read for people who haven't yet.

I guess an even closer neighbor is the sun.

Makes me think of firebreaks. What are the equivalents of firebreaks in the sector?

I think this should be launched in Europe first. Fuel is more expensive. Regulations on how long to drive are strict.

And with 400 miles it's already that far that you're not anymore in the country I live in (the Netherlands).

Does this person respect certain people in their environment? Why, on what basis?

It seems something makes this person tick but it hasn't been figured out what that is.

It's not about the contents of those disagreements. It's about them not being in a collaborative mode. It might be lack of creativity, lack of autonomy, lack of perceived excellence.

Just my two cents with the little info I got here.

I think there's a use case for all kinds of price levels, but there's a sweet spot.

Anecdotally. I bought a 3D printer when it dropped below 1000 bucks. I bought the Emotiv Epoc when at 300 bucks. I bought a Saleae logic analyser at the same price level if I remember correctly. Same with other tools or toys. The HackRF, the Kinect, the Quest, etc.

The higher the price the more you'll have to explain to people how they can justify the costs. You'll have to explain how much personnel hours are being saved, etc.

The more I'm in this space (of manufacturing electronic devices) the more I'm convinced Bill of Material (BOM) and in general Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) optimization is essential. Companies that can do this in a lean manner without excessive engineering costs to do so can truly drive the price down.

If there is this operational excellence, then you can truly give most power to your strategists in the sales and marketing departments. Otherwise, they have no tradeoffs to consider and are just victims of sloppy (non-cost conscious) engineering.

How's that implemented? I'm just used to embedded. Implementing sbrk etc.

Some flags i use to disable exceptions

  # The default flags will be used in all build types
  # The C/C++ shared flags are in DEFAULT_C_AND_CXX_FLAGS, the ones particular for C or C++ in DEFAULT_X_FLAGS
  # The flags mean the following:
  #   * no-exceptions          disable exceptions support and use C++ libs without exceptions
  #   * delete-dead-exceptions throw away instructions which only purpose is to throw exceptions
  #   * no-unwind-tables       stack-walking code for backtrace generation (TODO: we might want to enable this in Debug!)
  #   * no-non-call-exceptions do not convert trapping instructions (SIGSEGV, etc) into exceptions 
  #   * thumb                  use Thumb mode (optimized instruction set)
  #   * function-sections      put every function in its own segment, now it can be garbage collected
  #   * data-sections          put every variable in its own segment
  #   * no-strict-aliasing     allow *int = *float aberrations
  #   * no-builtin             do not use abs, strcpy, and other built-in functions
  #   * short-enums            use a single byte for an enum if possible
  SET(DEFAULT_CXX_FLAGS       "-std=c++17 -fno-exceptions -fdelete-dead-exceptions -fno-unwind-tables -fno-non-call-exceptions")

Sure. Embedded programming.

Make meaningful mistakes

I reverse engineered a so called social alarm a bit ago. You can find it here: https://github.com/mrquincle/social_alarm

Gnuradio was also new to me. However with two HackRFs I could do the entire thing. First replay attacks. Then trying to get the code by building up a set of processing blocks. Last synthesis of the complete signal.

Very nice to do! Felt great!

Seems clunky. I would also go for a wireless solution. Moreover, I would bring out two products. The headset and the box. The box only has to be powered on. Nothing fancy. It can be completely dedicated to the headset. And the headset itself is very light and optimized for pixels and receiving data as quick as possible. In that case you don't rely on any wifi in the house.

What might happen is that you developed a box on h.256 optimized for super low latencies. Sounds as valuable tech on its own. :-)

What can happen:

+ Approximate matching. They might want to have images almost similar also to be flagged. + Scope creep. Particular images of people who are wanted or areas where they might live or shots of joints etc. + Mistakes. Accidentally flagging honest citizens and the bureaucracy that will follow. "Innocent until proven guilty..." That's not preemptively scanning someone's personal devices.

Just change one pixel

Of course the scientist control for seasons. Levels of vitamin D of course are related to sunshine. There's also correlation with obesity, etc. etc.

Very difficult to find out if then actually taking vitamin D as a supplement would do something valuable.

There's also for example HyerNEAT. I'm out of the field now. Has recent progress been made recently with these technologies?

I think it's better to be a bit more charitable here indeed.

I also found it striking how the post is emphasizing how important transparency in asking questions is which might or might not reveal the intelectual qualities of the person asking, but then failing to be that transparent towards both the clerk and the reader of the blog post about the internal thought process.

If one would like people to learn, enlighten them. :-)

Makes me think of what might deter a reverse engineer and then this most awesome youtube talk on psychological warfare by Chris Domas

It's so good.

Yes, this one!

About 3. One of the coolest attitudes I saw was from someone (autistic, but that doesn't matter) who approached every problem as something to love, to cherish, to appreciate. Now I'm reading a book about the early days in Bell labs. I feel through the pages how much fun they had with finding issues, finding things to improve, finding out the future. I think there's so much to gain if you can find a positive approach to problems. Also in real life!

I guess there are some other conditions? Such as that you should be able to sleep in it without it causing accidents per distance driven, or only a few accidents, or only a few fatal accidents.

If not, my bed also classifies as a self-driving car

Yeah, such a bummer that is probably not real! I like the panspermia hypothesis.

I guess most can be explained by the quadcopter (or just wind) if they use that to make pictures. There's a lot of dirt/dust/sand that it will move. That will reveal "new pebbles" and make older ones "bigger".
