I have introspected this thoroughly. What I'm saying is if you're confiscated a gun in some highly urgent situation, then the people doing the seizing get even more tense in their mental state, so accidents are easy to make. While

The people you don't like are always guilty, right? Two people are accidentally killed, somewhat due to their own actions, but do you this can mean nothing else than "oppression".

One person showed up with a gun, the other tried to flee (or run over) an officer. Wold you as a police officer always behave perfectly in any urgent situation?

While one of these seems like an accident where the officer may have some blame, then both of them can be avoided if you don't behave aggressively or don't show up with a gun at a protest. I.e, bad things sometimes happen, but t

Same with internet trolls: make it possible to authenticate privately to social media platforms and the bots would disappear!

Signal's messages are encrypted at rest though? Because Android and iOS are both full disk encrypted. I do agree with that when you can't hide from the company, you can't hide from the US government either. Regarding attack

Brief research says that Signal does store phone numbers. Regarding hashing: while unsalted phone number hashes would be easy to reverse then I doubt that any hashing scheme today is set up like that.

Thanks! What has your experience been thus far? Apple makes great hardware (even more so now with their own CPUs) but I've steered clear of it simply because I run Linux. Last I checked the GPU wasn't fully supported and there wer

Could you expand/explain, you install Asahi first and then NixOS?

Though haven't done any extensive testing then I personally could easily get by with current local models. The only reason I don't is that the hosted ones all have free tiers.

Perhaps for you. As a European, the shake-up came with the war in Ukraine. That this actually could happen, and could happen in other countries here, too. Though, in the US, there seems to be some focus on what the country wants and does.

Where would you say the "CIA influence" is the strongest, so I could see better what you mean? I've observed that it's the messy process of democracy that has put the people in power. Sure, big countries (i.e, mostly Rus

Aren't they just fixing the symptom rather than the cause? I.e, people buy hard assets because holding dollars loses value. Make dollar hold its value instead, thus will individuals and companies stop buying up property they don't

I don't live in the US, but do you think the government determines direction in the media the same way as it does in Russia? I do get the free speech argument and that the line is thin, but Russian media by large is different from th

Haskell's user-facing language gets compiled down to Haskell "core" which is what the language actually can do . So any new language feature has a check in with sanity when that first transformation gets written.

Consistency: not needing to remember under which alternative methods any command was found under.

Little of Russia's mass consumption internet is actual free opinion though. While I do prefer freedom, free speech and people making up their own minds, then if the state is not democratic and if it's propaganda by that it produce

Some type systems (e.g, Haskell) are closing in in becoming formal verification languages themselves.

So a 150 parameter model we "don't understand how it works"?

This is also off-topic. Are you seriously using an LLM to participate in hn comments in this manner? (Will rpdillon now be forever lost as a human?)

The number can be anything, is there a number at which "we don't know" starts? The model's parameters are in your RAM, you insert the prompt, it runs through the model and gives you a result. I'm sure if you spend a

You don't have anything yourself to say on the actual the topic, do you?

Any statistical model does this.

E.g, if your service users have timestamp as part of the key and this data is visible to other users, you would know when that account was created. This could be an issue.

by kreetx 10mo ago
Yup. There are alternatives depending on what the situation is: with non-distributed, you could just use a sufficiently sized int (which can be rather small when the table is for e.g humans). You could add a separate timestamp column if tha

Using an UUIDv4 as primary key is a trade-off: you use it when you need to generate unique keys in a distributed manner. Yes, these are not datetime ordered and yes, they take 128 bits of space. If you can't live with this, then sure,

The original post and the rest of the comment are about invent vs arrive (discover?). I'm sure I'll be able to find (parts of) your comments, too, that diverge in sentiment.
