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 a human the same way a human is to a chimpanzee.

Or another way to phrase it, it's not at all obvious that an AI can exist that would be incomprehensible to a very smart human, it may however reason much faster than such a human.

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 effectively witchcraft, and selling fear is effective. The HBO series were so absurd yet so loved.

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 is so high, that no matter the penalty someone will attempt it, and someone will eventually succeed. And that likelihood will ensure everyone will want to attempt it.

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.

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 receive a properly worded subpoena. There is also a chance those records would be present in their backups even after you deleted the forwarded ports.

I have a separate command for port forwarded torrent client and only use it when absolutely necessary, which is almost never.

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 in compute, through sheer brute-force the secrets of biology will be unraveled. The task is not to attain amortality immediately, merely gain more life faster than you lose 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) whatever it might be when p(amortality | AGI) >>> p(amortality) during your lifetime? I personally am willing to place such a bet, and I would hazard a guess that decision makers don't come to their positions without similar sentiments.

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 hostile and bureaucratic they become, the grater the pressure for the talent to leave.

It may appear that what the EU is doing is being hostile to US companies - and some individual US companies will indeed suffer. But the actual effect is to incentivize these companies to extract talent out of the EU as an insurance plan in the event of a pull out.

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 sites such as rarbg, search or browse for something of interest, copy magnet URI, switch to terminal window, type aria2c "[magnet uri]". Just minutes later have the file in working directory. Now you can play it with MPV and have instantaneous seeks and no garbage web players.

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 individual cannot or will not expose themselves to sunlight, taking D3 is probably the best option they have.

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 coincide on both the sender and receiver (within an instant), there will be dropped packets until both PSK's are the same again. Being separate from WG, I don't see how you can insert yourself into their state machine for better coordination.

Do you have a reason to not use Kyber? The way it is combined should be sound.

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...

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's also not clear how the WG PSK change is coordinated, and whether that entails a brief loss of connectivity - packet loss, latency spike.

Mullvad VPN has a PQC key exchange feature, they are even using two algorithms in parallel: McEliece and Kyber.

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 cheats access memory many times a second, antivirus does it rarely if ever.

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 [encrypted] packets would be teleported into the namespace it started in. The link above has the wg0 being moved into the default/init namespace but you can move it anywhere.

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 namespaces.

You can even render the default network namespace barren such that any accidentally launched software has no network of any kind.

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 which for millions of years has been discarded - seeds etc.

Edible oils are those that are not produced from something that was never food.

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 aired out the room at all - and it's a one time thing, won't happen continuously every week. Then you just take it outside and it will be fixed in under 10 minutes (<400 ppm reading trigger auto calibration immediately).

I'm not confident that the other co2 meter options are in any way better. They most likely also do auto calibration but don't tell you. Counting on the fact that most people won't notice the drift.

You will not be able to get something of higher value than that, because technically it's a demonstration device and likely doesn't make them much if any profit.

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, impractical.

I have heard about some people keeping an aquarium (with growth lights) full of algae and they swear by it, but maintenance is high.

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.

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 wouldn't trigger this even if it's 1 byte at a time, the OS FS cache would buffer it.

It would have to be very misbehaving software or deliberate sabotage.

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 device addresses are not physical addresses, controller maps them to wear the drive evenly.
