Language evolves. As much as we are training computers to understand us, they are training us to understand them.
The level of precision required for highly complex tasks was never necessary before. My four year old has a pretty solid understanding of how the different AI tools she has access to will behave differently based on how she phrases what she says, and I've noticed she is also increasingly precise when making requests of other people.
It was entrapment because federal agents posing as crime bosses were threatening Ross that if he didn't hire the hitman there would be serious consequences. He was manipulated and forced into the position he was in.
I'm not convinced that you looked at the article you linked.
> That’s because he was the Silk Road employee implicated in an elaborate, and fake, murder-for-hire scheme, created in part by a corrupt Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent.
>DPR contacted one of his trusted drug dealer contacts, Nob, and asked him to kill Green for $40,000. Shortly after, Nob sent DPR photos of Green covered in Campbell’s Chicken & Stars soup and victim of an apparent asphyxiation, to prove the murder had been carried out.
> Unbeknown to DPR, Nob was no drug dealer. In fact, Nob was Carl Mark Force IV, the very same DEA agent who had arrested Green.
Shouldn't this alone be considered criminal negligence at this point? Cursor isn't some random open source project. It's a company that has funding, and subscriptions. Hell, I pay Cursor for a monthly subscription. Pretty incredible that they have no bounty program.
I went again recently (less than a year ago) for the first time since the 90s and the animatronics stage was still fully functional. Apparently very few locations are left with working stages, and I was impressed that my local stage had continued operating. They also serve alcohol now or something.
It felt a bit more open, one giant room, but I might just be remembering more walls because I'm taller now than I was when I was 10. Definitely no ball pit though.
Isn't this an advancement in communication though? People can put out a message in whatever language or style they prefer, the machine translators translate it into an overly verbose AI vomit, and readers condense it back down into the exact kind of personalized language they're wanting to consume.
Depends on your theory of communication, I guess. If it’s to get the most tailored message possible, then yeah it is an advancement. But if it’s about communicating authentic feelings/thoughts between two people, then it’s a big step backwards. This might not be super relevant for random website content, but if for example people start using generative AI to communicate with each other, I think it will feel very alienating.
I got a thank you email the other day after a meeting that was clearly written by AI, it was a real turn off. English was the authors second language, but she does public speaking in English, so I know she has decent command. Regardless, id still rather get an authentic heart felt thank you in broken English then a fake one. It comes off as inauthentic.
It's exactly the same as using a complex networking protocol to transmit a very simple text string across the internet. There's reasons why it's efficient, and ignoring them is like asking why we can't just netcat from local ip to local ip. Ceremony is, unfortunately, necessary, as is preserving formalities and egos.
"Communication" isnt about "personalization" when i communicate with you, I'm not looking for you to tell med what i already know. Im looking for you to tell me what YOU know in the style YOU want.
No, because it's an inauthentic message. Your're speaking to your AI, like a politician who only hears about developments from his advisors. How can he know if he's getting the real truth of things?
that's an interesting idea, we might get to hear what we want. it's like when you tell a manager "yes it would work that way but it would require more time", they hear "yes that's fine!"
Certificate Transparency, all CA's log their issued certificates to central log servers, managed by Cloudflare, google etc.
If this is not done, the certificate will not be seen as trusted by Browsers. It was designed to have a publicly auditable source of issued certificates, exactly so we can notice rogue google.com certs.
Technically you don't have to log certificates during issuance, and actually doing so is slightly more trouble (because of a chicken & egg problem, you want the log proof in the certificate, so you must log special "poisoned" certificates to get that proof and then fasten that proof to the certificate.
A customer can take an unlogged cert, log it themselves, and then use the certificate and the separate proof of logging they received and use that just fine. Google have some services which do this. One clever thing this enables is you can buy the cert secret-product-name.example, unlogged, build the web site, check everything works, and log the certificate seconds before the product launch event, so snoops can't tell your new product is secret-product-name until the moment you announce it, yet the site works immediately. I have very rarely seen this done but it's possible. When there's an ordinary White House transition process both plausible transition site certs get logged, even though in practice one of those sites is never published. Since Trump I have no idea if this process is so smooth any more.
A CA can choose whether to have this "issue unlogged certs" process as something they offer, it's a niche thing, but it could make sense. They need to keep adequate records of every certificate they issue (that's required) and logging is a very easy way to satisfy that requirement, but it's not the only way.
In practice, the logged certificates are the easy consumer option, like selling ready-to-eat food in a deli. Some customers might be prepared to buy ingredients and go away to make food, but, many customers probably want to eat food immediately so for extra money you sell products that can just be eaten immediately. So, yes, the vast majority of certificates issued every day are indeed logged immediately so as to provide the product people want.
Last time I talked to Peter was in 2019 and he was making fun of me for spending Bitcoins continuously since 2011, and said Bitcoins are supposed to be hoarded like gold or something, not used as money. Definitely not the attitude of someone who supposedly burned the million Satoshi coins (which was a claim from the movie, I guess some leaked IRC transcript or something). I wouldn't be surprised if the leaked transcript came from Peter himself. He seems to get off on weird deception plays like that.
The bitcoin IRC logs are public, the segment in the documentary is from the bitcoin-wizards channel (e.g. https://gnusha.org/bitcoin-wizards/). There are a number of public interfaces to them, I didn't catch which one the documentary was using.
It doesn't say anything that support's the documentary's thesis, Petertood is talking about provably destroying coins in order to mint identities and similar. This couldn't apply to the coins alleged by some to belong to Satoshi, as they haven't moved.
Almost all of Bitcoin's history is completely public, but sadly the wealth of information seems to just enable conspiracy theorists to allege that there is more hidden.
> I'm definitely still team Dave.
I'm so tired of dealing with the victims of Wright's nonsense. It's gross. Posts like this are like a IV drug user showing off their radical track marks.
For whatever reason the documentary presented those logs as coming from another site which never has had logs for that channel prior to 2015. I have no clue why but it probably made it much harder for for many people to find.
Maybe that's something. Maybe goodwill would be more effective when laundered through existing family connections. Surely someone in the midst of the famine has family in the US. Maybe support groups should be working directly with family members in wealthier countries, and then resources hand delivered to family members living in impoverished areas who can then distribute the resources through their local networks. Rather than just drop shipping a bunch of boxes full of food or whatever.
Let the heroes be local heroes, not just some abstract alien organization that no one has any social connection to.
Ooh, a binary puzzle—fun! Let’s decode it:
01111001 01100101 01110011
In binary, each byte (set of 8 digits) represents an ASCII character. Let's break it down:
01111001 = y
01100101 = e
01110011 = s
So, it spells out "yes"!
Got any more mysteries to solve?
