It's very easy to create hydrogen from fossil natural gas. Which is the real motivation behind 99% of H2 projects; continue to emit CO2, just hidden from the end user.

> If an LLM is a product, and it contains the work (in this case can spit out Harry Potter) it is derivative. Doesn't matter what it's used for.
That's not the definition of a derivative work in copyright law; further, whether what legally qualifies as a derivative work is within the scope of the exclusive rights of the copyright holder is, in the US, subject to whether it is within one of the exceptions to exclusive rights in the law, notably the fair use exception, which very much does depend on, among other things, what it is used for.
This is what always confused me about VC AI enthusiasm. Their moat is the capital. As AI improves, it destroys their moat. And yet, they are stoked to invest in it, the architects of their own demise.
They coasted on momentum for half a year. I don't even think it says anything negative about the current CTO, but more of what an exception JGC is relative to what is normal. A CTO leaving would never show up the next day in the stats, the position is strategic after all. But you'd expect to see the effect after a while, 6 months is longer than I would have expected, but short enough that cause and effect are undeniable.
Even so, it is a strong reminder not to rely on any one vendor for critical stuff, in case that wasn't clear enough yet.
That's nearly all of them (graduates)

I have had to interpret between an Ulsterman and a South African, who were both speaking English. I think those accents have vowel shifted in opposite directions.
I was also taught a bit of Chaucer (died 1400) in English at school. Although not any of the naughty bits.
Yeah, and if you give another human access to all your private information and accounts, they need lots of supervision, too; history is replete with examples demonstrating this.

But also, my sleep quality got much better when I turned on f.lux. And it got better still when I added a second light to my bathroom that can do a 1800K super-warm light (that's also very dim).
And as an added pro-tip, I use f.lux during the day to cut my color temp to 5900K (instead of the default 6500K) and it made a huge difference for how long I could work without getting tired eyes.
If Apple wanted to win back some serous credibility in the AI field there are two very low hanging fruit that they could use:
- Announce that they are no longer going to deprecate sandbox-exec and instead publish detailed documentation for it
- Add a reliable "select all" option to the iOS copy/paste menu
SAML is bad semantically too, not just because of XML. SAML is arguably the worst cryptographic standard ever created.
I first encountered djb's work back in the 90's with qmail and djbdns, where he took a very different and compartmentalized approach to the more common monolithic tooling for running email and DNS. I'd even opine that the structure of these programs are direct ancestors to modern microservice architectures, except using unix stdio and other unix isolation mechanisms.
He's definitely opinionated, and I can understand people being annoyed with someone who is vociferous in their disagreement and questioning the motives of others, but given the occasional bad faith and subversion we see by large organizations in the cryptography space, it's nice to have someone hypervigilant in that area.
I generally think that if djb thinks something is OK in terms of cryptograpy, it's passed a very high analytical bar.
I started backing in because it was recommended in a defensive driving class I took in 2010 or so.
The wild thing is Republicans would probably keep the House if Miller et al let the illegal tariffs expire. The tax cut would probably even give the Fed room to cut rates. Not sure who in the White House is most directly pushing for these. But they're clearly hurting both America and Trump.
This reads very LLM-y, misses huge chunks of the story (multiple paragraphs on "clamping" and static ECDH, a single line on Ristretto and nothing on signature schemes, which is where that matters), has a breathless tone about Chapoly and Nacl that is totally unwarranted, misses almost all the NIST PQC drama, most of which was not in fact about hybrid cryptography, and in the end doesn't offer any analysis, just this bad re-telling.
My guess is someone had this generated as part of some dumb pressure campaign. It's weird.

I know this is a wild idea, but what if they had better options than career criminal for a living?
Americans are so invested in the penalties they can’t imagine the incentives approach.
Because usually that is OS specific and not portable to be part of standard library that is supposed to work everywhere.
> It's all just a sprawling behemoth of a framework, because it tries to do everything.
I also interact with OAuth quite a bit at work. I also have dealt with SAML.
I'd pick OAuth over SAML any day of the week, and not just because OAuth (v2 at least) is 7 years younger.
It's also because OAuth, for all its sprawl, lets you pick and choose different pieces to focus on, and has evolved over time. The overall framework tries to meet everyone's needs, but accomplishes this via different specs/RFCs.
SAML, on the other hand, is an 800 page behemoth spec frozen in time. It tried to be everything to everyone using the tools available at the time (XML, for one). Even though the spec isn't evolving (and the WG is shut down) it's never going to go away--it's too embedded as a solution for so many existing systems.
I also don't know what could replace OAuth. I looked at GNAP but haven't seen anything else comparable to OAuth.

In addition to long form writing I operate a link blog, which this Claw piece came from. I have no control over which of my link blog pieces are submitted by other people.

Yeah but what you just said is "I don't want to run Android", which, sure, you can do.
I was worried about the security risk of running it on my infrastructure, so I made my own:

At least I can run this whenever, and it's all entirely sandboxed, with an architecture that still means I get the features. I even have some security tradeoffs like "you can ask the bot to configure plugin secrets for convenience, or you can do it yourself so it can never see them".
You're not going to be able to prevent the bot from exfiltrating stuff, but at least you can make sure it can't mess with its permissions and give itself more privileges.

I used to have a LinkedIn account, a long time ago. To register I created an email address that was unique to LinkedIn, and pretty much unguessable ... certainly not amenable to a dictionary attack.
I ended up deciding that I was getting no value from the account, and I heard unpleasant things about the company, so I deleted the account.
Within hours I started to get spam to that unique email address.
It would be interesting to run a semi-controlled experiment to test whether this was a fluke, or if they leaked, sold, or otherwise lost control of my data. But absolutely I will not trust them with anything I want to keep private.
I do not trust LinkedIn to keep my data secure ... I believe they sold it.

> if android allows sideloading anyone would be easily able to get around these checks
Not really. You’d have Android attest to the check. If you are running a modified Android, it can’t attest. If you’re side loading, unless it messes with the attention logic, it should be fine. Like, Apple Pay could still work even if iOS permitted side loading.
For me, OAuth was straightforward to understand once I realised that it's basically like a PKI with very short-lived certificates.

It can, but it's not how it's used most of the time, so kind of a pedantic distinction.

Besides, you can even ask another agent to review it. Different brand of agent even.

> “He’s not hurting the people he needs to be”: a Trump voter says the quiet part out loud A Trump voter hurt by the shutdown reveals the real reason the president attracts hardcore supporters.
> The president’s particular brand of identity politics — the racist attacks on blacks and Latinos, the Muslim ban, his cruel treatment of women — similarly depends on negative rather than positive appeals. Antoine Banks, a political psychologist at the University of Maryland, wrote a book on the connection between anger as an emotion and racial politics. When politicians gin up anger, an emotion that necessarily has a negative target, voters tend to think about the world in more racial (and racist) terms. Trump makes his voters angry, he centers that anger on hated targets, and that makes them want to take his side.
> This is what makes Trumpism work. This is the dark heart of our political moment. Even people who are tremendously vulnerable themselves, like Crystal Minton, support Trump because of his capacity to inflict pain on others they detest.

> You have not shown how a large scale collection of neural networks irrespective of their architecture is more deterministic
Its software. Without an external randomness source, its 100% deterministic excluding impacts of hardware glitches. This...isn’t debatable. You can make it seem non-deterministic by concealing inputs (e.g., when batching multiple requests, any given request is “nondeterministic” when viewed in isolation in many frameworks because batches use shared state and aren’t isolated), but even then it is still deterministic you are just choosing to look at an incomplete set of the inputs that determine the output.
I found the basic premise of this blog post to be incredibly flawed. The author seems very sure of himself that blue light filters don't work, but making arguments related to cell types and emissions spectra and circadian rhythms is not the way to make a conclusive argument in a topic like this. Science is littered with recommendations about things that "plausibly" made sense, but that turned out to be flawed or just absolutely wrong when actually put to a real, scientific test. One example most people are familiar with: the recommendation against eating eggs in the 90s was based on the fact that eggs have a lot of cholesterol, and we knew high LDL levels in blood were associated with a greater risk of vascular and heart problems. So, "logically", it seemed that limiting dietary cholesterol would reduce heart disease. Except when scientists actually tested those recommendations, they turned out to be largely wrong - when you eat a lot of cholesterol, for most people their body's natural production of cholesterol goes down, so unless you're in the small subset of people who are particularly sensitive to dietary cholesterol, eating eggs is fine.
Making recommendations based solely on a theoretical mechanism of action is bad science. The only way to actually test this is with a study that looks at different types of light restriction and its effect on sleep. Obviously it's kind of impossible to do a blinded study for blue light filters, but you could get close by testing various permutations of light changes (e.g. total luminescence, eliminating only very specific wavelengths, etc.)
As another commenter said, it may be a placebo effect, but if it is, who cares? All I care about is that I get a better night sleep, and as someone (unusual among programmers I know) who really doesn't like dark mode, a screen reddener greatly helps me at bedtime.

Not necessarily. Workers don't want to move into the overclass, they just want to live with dignity. One major theme is that things that seemed very ordinary and attainable a generation ago for ordinary people, like owning a house, now seem out of reach.
Circa 1970 Issac Asimov wrote an essay that started with a personal anecdote about how amazed he was that he could get a thyroidectomy for his Graves Disease for about what he made writing one essay -- regardless of how good or bad it really is today, you're not going to see people express that kind of wonder and gratitude about it today.

but I think the real working class stance is that you want protection from economic shocks more than "participation", "ownership", "a seat at the table", "upside", etc. This might be a selfish and even antisocial thing to ask for over 80 years near the start of the second millennium, but I think it would sell if it was on offer. It's not on offer very much because it's expensive.
One could make the case that what we really need is downward mobility.

> So: is this just something wacky with my algorithm?
No, it's not. Once Meta identifies you as male, you will get almost exclusively thirst trap posts no matter what you do. It started about two years ago.
Some other interesting points: A woman posted on reddit recently saying she noticed her son's feed was filled with this stuff, so she created her own instagram account, identified as a man, and had the same feed. No matter what she did she couldn't fix it. She asked other women about this, and they all said their partner's feeds were the same.
This is not a problem for women. At least not one I've ever talked to or read about on the internet.
Another point: I tried very hard to fix this at one point. I went through instagram and hit like on nothing but pottery and parenting videos. For about a week I had a feed that looked like my wife's -- pottery and parenting. And then it reverted.
I got a whole bunch of thirst traps again.
It doesn't bother me anymore, I just tune it out and scroll past it because my feed still has the parenting and pottery too, and my friend's updates, which is what I'm there for.
But it would be good for more people to learn about this so they don't get angry when they see their male-identified partners/friends feeds.
I love the Java/Kotlin userspace, even if it is Android Java flavour, and the our way or the highway attitude to C and C++ code, instead of yet another UNIX clone with some kind of X Windows into the phone.
In the past I was also on Windows Phone, again great .NET based userspace, with some limited C++, moving into the future, not legacy OS design.
I can afford iPhones, but won't buy them for private use, as I am not sponsoring Apple tax when I think about how many people on this world hardly can afford a feature phone in first place.
However I also support their Swift/Objective-C userspace, without being yet another UNIX clone.
If the Linux phones are to be yet another OpenMoko with Gtk+, or Qt, I don't see it moving the needle in mainstream adoption.
Pretty neat.
FYI if you are sad that you can't participate in this index (for Goldman customers only), replicating it is pretty easy on your own.
- Pull up a list of companies in the S&P 500.
- Do a quick pass and decide if they are "AI" or not, or use an LLM to help you (ironic).
- Use a direct indexing platform (Frec, Wealthfront, Fidelity, Schwab, Parametric among others) to build your own index with those funds and adjust it maybe quarterly.
As a bonus the fees will be significantly lower than what Goldman will want for the same end result.
What matters is that they are still selling them.
The use of C was only an example, and I can bet that AI can also goof Rust code that goes through the compiler if that is your argument.
Unless you now tell me that you drive your AI generation code with full coverage unit tests manually written by you.
Can you share how you confirmed this is LLM generated? I review vulnerability reports submitting by the general public and it seems very plausible based on my experience (as someone who both reviews reports and has submitted them), hence why I submitted it. I am also very allergic to AI slop and did not get the slop vibe, nor would I knowingly submit slop posts.
I assure you, the incompetence in both securing systems and operating these vulnerability management systems and programs is everywhere. You don't need an LLM to make it up.

Fair point. As the author, I was explicitly looking at it in the context of technology or technology companies building communities around them. I was working in developer relations at that time, so building a community of practitioners around our software was a priority for me.
I didn't mean "community" in the general sense, though I have thoughts on how to build that too:
* show up
* be kind
* try to meet people where they are at, but have minimum engagement standards
* follow up and meet regularly
* leverage existing groups and communities (organizations like Rotary or friend groups) where possible
These are the kinds of articles that give science a bad name, and that make people anti-science.
You might as well try to claim hot tea doesn't help you get to sleep, or reading before bed doesn't, or whatever else you do to wind down.
I personally don't care if some narrow hypothesis about blue light and melanopsin is false. I know that low, warm, amber-tinted light in the evening slows me down in a way that low, cold, blue-tinted light does not. That's why I use different, warmer lamps at night with dimmers, and keep my devices on Night Shift and lower brightness. It works for me, and seems to mimic the lighting conditions we evolved with -- strong blue light around noon, weaker warmer light at sunset, weakest warmest light from the fire until we go to sleep. Maybe it doesn't work for everybody. That's fine. But it certainly does for me.
And maybe it's not modulated by melanopsin. Or maybe it's not about blue light, but rather the overall correlated color temperature (CCT), e.g. 2100K instead of 5700K. Who knows.
But this type of article is bad science writing. It shows why one hypothesis as to why a warmer color temperature would result in one other physiological change isn't supported. That doesn't mean "blue light filters don't work" as a universal statement. It's hubris on the part of the author to assume that this one hypothesis is the only potential mechanism by which warmer light might help with sleep.
And it's this kind of science writing that turns people off to science. I know, through lots of trial and error and experimentation, that warm light helps me fall asleep. And here comes some "AI researcher and neurotechnologist" trying to tell me I'm wrong? He says it's "aggravating" that people are "actually using Night Shift". I say it's aggravating when people like him make the elemental mistake that showing one biological mechanism doesn't have an effect, means no other mechanisms can either.
Right. Most of the news articles don't link to the decision, which is worth reading.
It's a 6-3 decision. Not close.
Here's the actual decision:
The judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in case No. 25–250 is affirmed. The judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in case No. 24–1287 is vacated, and the case is remanded with instructions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
So what does that mean in terms of action?
It means this decision [1] is now live. The vacated decision was a stay, and that's now dead.
So the live decision is now: We affirm the CIT’s holding that the Trafficking and Reciprocal Tariffs imposed by the Challenged Executive Orders exceed the authority delegated to the President by IEEPA’s text. We also affirm the CIT’s grant of declaratory relief that the orders are “invalid as contrary to law.”
"CIT" is the Court of International Trade. Their judgement [2], which was unanimous, is now live. It reads:
"The court holds for the foregoing reasons that IEEPA does not authorize any of the Worldwide, Retaliatory, or Trafficking Tariff Orders. The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs. The Trafficking Tariffs fail because they do not deal with the threats set forth in those orders. This conclusion entitles Plaintiffs to judgment as a matter of law; as the court further finds no genuine dispute as to any material fact, summary judgment will enter against the United States. See USCIT R. 56. The challenged Tariff Orders will be vacated and their operation permanently enjoined."
So that last line is the current state: "The challenged Tariff Orders will be vacated and their operation permanently enjoined." Immediately, it appears.
A useful question for companies owed a refund is whether they can use their credit against the United States for other debts to the United States, including taxes.

The appeals level stayed the injunctions temporarily, probably expecting a quick emergency docket ruling rather than a long delay.
The fundamental problem is that we are relying on the good graces of Google to keep Android open, despite the fact that it often runs run contrary to their goals as a $4T for-profit behemoth. This may have worked in the past, but the "don't be evil" days are very far behind us.
I don't see a real future for Andrioid as an open platform unless the community comes together and does a hard fork. Google can continue to develop their version and go the Apple way (which, funny enough, no one has a problem with). Development of AOSP can be controlled by a software foundation, like tons of other successful projects.
Statistics aren't collected on that. But I've read anecdotes where individuals recounted the autopilot saving them from a severe accident.
You can also google "how many lives has tesla autopilot saved?" and the results suggest that the autopilot is safer than human pilots.
Not a chance. A fork that is under China's control, maybe, but not an "open" fork. They don't even pretend to have that as a value.
You may theoretically find it advantageous to use such a system anyhow. To a first-order approximation, the danger a government poses to you is proportional to its proximity to you. (In the interests of fairness, I will point out, so are the benefits a government may offer to you. In this case it just happens to be the dangers we are discussing.) Using the stack of a government based many thousands of miles/kilometers away from you may solve a problem for you, if you judge they are much less likely to use it against you than your local government.
But China certainly won't put out an "open" anything.
I don't understand the joke here.
It's technically possible to use 2FA (e.g. TOTP) on the same device as the agent, if appropriate in your threat model.
In the scenario you describe, 2FA is enforcing a human-in-the-loop test at organizational boundaries. Removing that test will need an even stronger mechanism to determine when a human is needed within the execution loop, e.g. when making persistent changes or spending money, rather than copying non-restricted data from A to B.
