Worth noting is that OpenVPN’s TCP TLS mode does not work that way. It’s essentially the UDP protocol messages except wrapped into TCP. The initial handshake is not a normal TLS client hello. Not sure about other SSL VPNs.

This kind of presumes you're just cranking out inference non-stop 24/7 to get the estimated price, right? Or am I misreading this? In reality, presumably they have to support fast inference even during peak usage times, but then t

Well I mean there's no inherent requirement that PKI work the way it does. We've mostly just accepted it because it's good enough. Even if your server admins fully understand TLS, there are still issues like clock skew on cli

I don't know about OP but I've also worked plenty of places where I seem to be the only person who understands TLS. And not even at the "math" level. I mean, like, how to get them into a Java keystore. Or how to get Apac

Unclear limits on how much context can be reliably provided and effectively used without degrading the result.

Even that came after "AI is going to make itself smarter so fast that it's inevitably going to kill us all and must be regulated" talk ended. Remember when that was the big issue? Haven't heard about that in a while.

Apple added functionality to macOS a few years ago that requires a separate pop-up / permissions dialog when apps try to access various directories the user can otherwise access (like Documents, Downloads, Desktop, other apps' fil

It even had a Mac port. Supported both PowerPC and Intel! Though yeah--I'm not sure how many players it had. It's just neat that it happened.

I agree, though honestly at this point I'm a little more cynical. I'm open to seeing the best that anyone can get these things to do regardless of cost.

I think the harms of expensive and/or limited and/or inconvenient access to even basic medical expert Q&A are far greater. Though they're not as easy to measure.

I continue to be surprised that LLM providers haven't been legally cudgeled into neutering the models from ever giving anything that can be construed as medical advice. I'm glad--I think LLMs are looking quite promising for medica

"Deal with" and "autonomously" are doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Cursor already does a pretty good job indexing all the files in a code base in a way that lets it ask questions and get answers pretty quickly. It&#x

I looked into somehow hedging against the Mag 7 in my portfolio (which is otherwise almost entirely in an S&P 500 index fund), but it seemed surprisingly difficult for something that is probably quite widely desired. Though maybe I&#x27

And even then: the key value of MCP is that it's "simplified." Few servers are implementing anything you couldn't already do for years with their REST APIs. And why? Because it dumbs it down to the point that the LLM can

Well it was their choice to call it GPT 5 and not GPT 4.2.

Thanks, that helps. In this case, it's my IRA money anyway, but that's good to keep in mind.

Is that going to beat FXAIX in a Fidelity account? The expense ratio is 0.015% and it tracks the S&P 500.

Maybe not 15 years ago, but they did early on. And then at some point, the lines kind of leveled off.

The claim was the claim. If you want to discuss numbers that neither of us have sources for, it'll have to be with someone else. Meanwhile, there are ~42k traffic deaths per year that could be prevented by focusing on human-driven cars

AutoPilot is already independently monitoring driver attentiveness. With FSD, if your eyes are visible, it's watching your eyes. If it can't see your eyes (or you don't have FSD), it falls back to requiring the driver to appl

I didn't use AI, so I guess I learned something about myself today.

Indeed. My point is: so why focus on regulation that targets <0.1% of traffic fatalities? Here's an alternative idea that would save a lot more lives: Take the camera-based driver attention monitoring that works in my seven year-old

by moduspol 1y ago
Well, my claim was fairly specific, so it's quite easy. There are ~42k traffic fatalities in the US each year. Cameras-only self driving cars are a tiny fraction of the number of total cars. The highest estimates I've seen for ann

Indeed. Likewise, there has never been a time where wide swaths of potential parents feel like they can "afford" having children. Before birth control, it was less of a choice. This narrative that "people aren't having c

For a pickup truck, if you're buying it so it's "there when you need it," it removes a lot of value if it's gotta stay in the garage during the winter. Though yes, I could see it being less important if that's

I think the market for base Mavericks is pretty small. At that point it's really not providing much value over an SUV with rear seats that fold down. I agree not everyone wants to spend 40-80k, but that doesn't mean they want to s
