Thanks!

The comments in the Aug 26 thread aged quite badly.

Probably Debian.

I love digging those retro future concepts that echo so well with our times.

As a side note, and border topic, it reminds me of the "My Uncle" (Mon Oncle) sequence of the Villa Arpel from Jacques Tati (who had the finesse to observe the paradoxes of society's evolution).

The fountain that switches on when important people get in and switches off when house employees walk by (in order to economize water), the automatic garage door designed like no one would ever need any security switch, the geometric garden where the characters end up walking awkwardly.

ps: I remember seeing those ads in another article. FWIW.

> The changing scales and meaning while zooming in and out makes it hard to derive conclusion from these measurements.

It is way simpler than that: at best it is misleading, at worst it shouldn't implement such algo nor display this thing.

The "macro zoom out" until "max zoom in - 1 step" visuals suggest a continuous, factual measurement when it is actually just a speculative mathematical model.

Only the maximum zoom in (displaying...raw data points) is correct. Until you stumble upon tracks sharing the same spots with one full red and the other full green. Miscalibration, shiny green people from earth: whatever it may be.

From what I understand, this proves mathematically that complex problems can be solved faster than we thought.

Now... the algorithm only works at impossible scales, so it changes (probably) absolutely nothing for real life or social networks.

A minority, at least in France, is using those networks to organize (in a pro manner) illegal activities. I got in a rabbit hole browsing those groups and I was, honestly, puzzled at how this could happen in the open.

May I recommend trying (and using) <https://github.com/NetBSDfr/smolBSD> (<https://smolbsd.org>)?

It lets you package apps using a syntax very close to a Dockerfile. It spawns lightweight NetBSD micro-VMs that boot in just 10ms. hardware sandboxing without security trade-offs.

It has been offline for the latest 3 hours for me.

It benefits the _whole_ chinese economy. Providing those raw tools to whatever company. What about the impact on China's GDP growth?

Whatever the consequences, I have to admit China has understood that all those are raw materials and that open sourcing everything will help growing their economy (as a whole).

The worst idea was to build corporations providing services with AI. It was an extension of the latest 50 years model, which is about to crumble. Now, we have our revolution. (Ok, ok, I am a little bit too enthusiastic, I now need a fallout shelter).

or ... just check the user-agent and serve a different page accordingly.

The article doesn't mention the geographical scope of these new terms, but I suspect those are illegal in Europe, right?

I thought they’d learned their lesson when they changed their strategy (er... business model) and went after the enterprise market.

But now ... this. I am clueless.

I thank you for your attention to this matter

> The Americans are no longer our friends, Salut, mes amis Européens. :)

Salut ! I wouldn't say the Americans are no longer our friends, but trust is definitely gone.

Let's focus on the subject and try to distinguish the technology and the frontier companies selling it. That's the key point in understanding the whole stance.

As I understand the article, its title should be: "A Severe Misalignment of AI Frontier Companies with Ethics."

> It's interesting to see so much hate towards creators who use AI to make almost any type of creative work. At least these are humans using it as "controllable tools". Nuclear-powered bicycles for the mind. As the degree of separation increases, things can get interesting.

Unrestricted models, running entirely locally and accessible to anyone: that’s what we should be taking as our baseline assumption. Everything else is just administrative distraction.

> Both OpenAI and Anthropic have recently flagged incidents in which agents powered by their models went rogue

I may be biased and somewhat off topic, but I see these incidents as some of the most significant of the past century. I genuinely don't understand why these companies aren't taking a smarter approach to them.

The latest analyses have been, at best, laughable: identify the vulnerability, patch it, and move on. Only to repeat the same cycle without considering that there may be something far more serious at play.

These are AI security experts, and this has been their way of "solving" these incidents. AI security experts ...

Moreover, when Challenger exploded, the government launched a series of investigations into the incident, bringing in experts from across the field. And now, what has the government done? Nothing. Literally nothing, as if everything was fine and all under control.

Seriously, I'm generally quite optimistic and I don't buy into this fatalistic narrative about our shared future. But I have to admit that sometimes I feel like I'm stranded on a planet of primates.

Sorry for this rather unproductive rant.

A simple video showcasing one fruit picture opened in Preview with the fly going for it would have been nice.

AKA preventing cognitive debt

Yes, it spawned on HN a few months ago. The thing is it doesn't display the city transport (the official SBB map does).

You are right, the devs says that the vehicle positions are estimated from the official timetable and real-time GTFS-RT delay information, rather than from publicly available GPS coordinates.

<https://opentransportdata.swiss/en/cookbook/realtime-predict...>

btw while looking for th GTFS-RT info, I found this site, which is less minimal but has a 3D cockpit beta functionality...

<https://transitflow.ch/>

Switzerland's real-time map of trains and public transport (zoom in on a city to view its public transport in real time). You can find boats too.

And if you check on/off the other options, you get way more informations.

As a future scenario where models become so efficient that _any_ model installed on _any_ computer could be considered "a national security risk"?

IDK, I don't live in the US, and I have no idea which "possible law" this website is referring to. In any case, it could be seen as a proactive effort to keep the gates open.

As a side note, I think this is a discussion every open-source supporter should have by actively considering the risks and what actions to take if such a hypothetical law were ever to pass.
