There is a logic to it in a way, but I think it goes too far. The security industry should strive to not have to broadly re-evaluate practices based on surprises. Shock and surprise are fine, but they shouldn't cause a scramble of reac

It's not a shell, it's a terminal emulator. A shell is the program that handles the words you type into your terminal emulator.

I think this is because as capitalism solves more and more problems, a greater proportion of the remaining problems are caused by capitalism. It's difficult for the system to solve these problems without reshaping its boundaries.

I don't think this is true. Even with an unbreathable atmosphere, some tiny fraction of humans would survive with recycled air, solar power, and greenhouse vegetables. It's conceivable that climate change could kill 99%+. I would

So you're saying it's a logical impossibility for a dictator to act in the best interest of the people? Does some switch flip where all of a sudden they have no free will? Don't get me wrong, I think the circumstances that le

The critique of society will probably provoke enough people into making different choices to justify the loss of a few square meters of topsoil.

Of course, but not 100x less. Amazon's number is definitely substantially higher, don't get me wrong, but 300x is just not right.

I don't understand how you're calculating this. I think you missed a couple of zeroes? If you take that $260k/minute number and assume it's true for the whole day (clearly it won't be overnight, but bear with me), t

TIL. Not sure where I heard that. I'm having trouble finding good information on caps vs. batteries in this respect but I was definitely wrong. Thanks!

Also, if punctured, a supercap can unload all its energy in microseconds, which can be a lot more disastrous than a battery igniting.

Sure, but even then it's difficult. Micro'ing three fronts at once would be difficult for a human but could easily fit within the AI's budget. You could solve this by coming up with some sort of context-switch effort function

It may not be as good as it was 50 years ago, but there's a case to be made that it's nearly as good as it ever was prior to 1900.

Yep. Imagine a prover that accepts all statements. It would accept a buggy program, and it would accept itself. It would obviously help reduce errors but it wouldn't categorically eliminate them.

There's no default utility for this. There's some sysctl values for the CPU and the GPU but they don't actually give you a temperature. There's an API for this in IOKit. Easiest way I've found to get at it on the CL
