An apple tree, once infected, can colonize junipers and cedars as far as 6 miles away(!). Yes, a highly infectious and amazing organism. https://portal.ct.gov/CAES/Fact-Sheets/Plant-Pathology/Cedar... "A

One of those things is mainline kernel support the TH1520, which it may well end up lacking, at least for a considerable length of time.

From IRC: <graydon> I think I named it after fungi. rusts are amazing creatures. <graydon> Five-lifecycle-phase heteroecious parasites. I mean, that's just _crazy_. <graydon> talk about over-engineered for survival &l

I think that the medium shapes the resulting political characteristics of the system, yes the centralized network, where every user is easily traceable thus readily policed and censored, ends up creating totalitarianism, given how human nat

China's T-Head TH1520 is coming close, it's RISC-V and supposedly faster than the Raspberry Pi. And they have a 64-core version in the works: https://twitter.com/SipeedIO/status/1620011141639581698 What&

And that is precisely what using the Internet in 2023 entails. Every single thing you do is being monitored and compiled by the government. Likely with CloudFlare acting as the universal man-in-the-middle. https://theintercept.c

Yes, potentially over-reaching, because it's debatable whether it's overreaching or not. And the manufacturers doing this, is a prime example of the law of unintended consequences. Where trying to solve a problem through legislati

I almost can't believe this is actually for real, it reads like satire from TheOnion.com. Welcome to America in 2023, where they are deliberately adding allergens to food, in order to comply with potentially over-reaching laws... It&

And especially so in Ukraine, where feral hogs have been known to consume the bodies of dead russian soldiers. You can Google it, I don't want to link to it here...

By the way, I was thinking of something along the lines of a powerful FPGA with direct access to large quantities of very fast NAND flash, likely many chips in parallel, which will save having to load the model into RAM..... So it will be a

I found this to be very liberating, that I can finally type whatever I want into the LLM, without the possibility of the government knowing what I am writing. Just being able to do that, and have the watchful eye of the state not being

And that is why I decided not to have children myself. I never want another person to go through the atrocity that was done to me. Yes my parents were particularly horrific, but I even think the coercion of the compulsory education system t

If they limit our ability to block ads in general, I am going to dramatically reduce my Internet usage even more than I am doing now. The Internet is bad enough already as a platform for enabling mass surveillance and social control. Time t

I've been doing this since ~2008 or so using Debian Linux. My custom setup is also capable of booting other computers on the network over PXE. It uses AUFS and tmpfs - yes, it needs upgrading to a more modern union filesystem. The neat

Well the first thing we can do is start disconnecting safety critical infrastructure from the Internet and/or radio networks... This stuff should never have been online in the first place.

Assuming the training is based on public data, then making it illegal is like a "thought crime" where the state is trying to prohibit carrying out certain computations. Well if I believe the government has no right to control my t

Some kind of distributed training, BitTorrent style would be one way of getting around it, using thousands of GPUs worldwide? If we could somehow make the training process profitable, like a cryptocurrency, then that would be even better.

Because the folks at the NSA are not going to stop doing so... The government itself is going to continue with it. And we don't want to allow the state to have the monopoly on advanced AI.

If the government tries to prohibit training these models, I think we should find a way to keep it going somehow. Yes, civil disobedience.
