Citation for the phone, WiFi, Bluetooth claim? That’s an extraordinary claim and I’m very skeptical.

The “fusion” mode looks really cool. Also loved the logo grid under “for the paranoid” — looks like a customer list but except it’s a wall of shame (“they did not run bromure”). Thanks for sharing!

What are some of the implications? Where does widely available mythos-level hacking lead? By people with a vested interest, do you mean non-cloud software vendors?

Incredible! I’m interested in doing something similar on windows, have you looked into that at all? Apparently codex computer use plans to support this on windows in the future. Were you able to see how codex was doing it, or the inspiration was just “they’ve shown it’s possible”?

> ‘AI’ doesn’t exist, and LLMs have vanishingly narrow legitimate justifiable use cases. … I’m yet to identify any application of a LLM which can rationally be mistaken for intelligence.

What’s the opposite of AI psychosis? Burying your head in the sand? Because anyone who could write this unironically today is certainly afflicted.

Which do you like? Barebells salty peanut and chocolate dough over here. Though the sugar alcohols certainly aren’t great for you either, I think they were recently linked to stroke risk

OpenAI just released “codex security”, worth trying (along with other suggestions) if your org has access https://openai.com/index/codex-security-now-in-research-prev...

Have you tried docker sandboxes? https://docs.docker.com/ai/sandboxes/

The docker desktop license requirement is a factor, though. You need a paid subscription if your company has something like 250 employees or $10 million in annual revenue

All the more important for people who value the rule of law to continue to call it the Department of Defense. Executive power ultimately depends on acceptance and compliance. Corrupt and unconstitutional actions are only legitimized by collective acceptance

100% agree, many people don’t realize just how harmful wood smoke is. It’s also the main source of pollution in the Bay Area during the winter. Unfortunately energy costs are high enough here that people resort to burning wood to save money, so collectively beneficial policies are likely to face resistance (understandably).

The purpleair map has been awesome to at least make the problem visible. I hope they are using it to aid enforcement on spare the air days.

In what world is he a “pseudo” philanthropist? He’s already given more than $60 Billion away and pledged to donate 99%+ of his wealth. He has also called for his class of ultra-wealthy to be taxed more

Not everyone is so unimaginative and myopic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There was. From the article: '''

ZeroEyes said that trained employees review alerts before they are sent and that its software can make a lifesaving difference in averting mass shootings by alerting law enforcement to weapons on campus within seconds. At Lawton Chiles, the student flagged by ZeroEyes was holding his musical instrument like a rifle, co-founder Sam Alaimo told The Washington Post. “We don’t think we made an error, nor does the school,” Alaimo said. “That was better to dispatch [police] than not dispatch.”

“It’s not rocket science — you’ve either got to pay more, or you’ve got to let in way more people. … There are wonderful, caring people all over the world who would like to come care for our seniors at the wages we’re willing to pay, and we just have to let them in,” Gruber said.

This is the crux of it. The government should also subsidize and directly administer more senior care, especially given the economic drag from having family members step into these roles

Would love to hear from the people down-voting. Is this data flawed / limited / not consistent with personal experience? I've heard people like Bill Maher cite this survey before. I'm sure there are different and interesting perspectives in the HN community-- please don't just reflexively downvote or avoid addressing this because it's uncomfortable.
