but only because...i actually do want the world to have tons of memory and people to put as much as they want in their computers, and it is fucking annoying that this was taken out of context.
i have been arguing for the world to ramp up memory production for a long time.

I think in general it's better to be a strict conservative in theory and a soft hearted lib in practice than the other way around
Convinced the secret to useful if not harmonious social media is to block any accounts that are low-effort contradiction/disagreement.
Trying to use an iPad wifi+cell model with keyboard as a laptop replacement (my other computer is a datacenter) and the UX is so close to macOS except in little frustrating ways.
I cmd+shift+4 hoping to get a rectangle select->screenshot and instead screenshots the whole page. I try to drag a photo from the Photos app to Signal and if Photos doesn’t have focus it just scrolls instead.
So close and yet… not.

I personally think LLMs are zero point zero percent culpable for software bugs written in 2018 but, well, we all knew there was eventually going to be a bill due, and here we go. Seems to not have as generous payment terms as we had expected.

“While the act of creation is inherently satisfying, there’s a danger: one might find satisfaction in the labor itself and mistakenly believe that a high-quality piece of work has been created,” he said.
very insightful comment from miyamoto
Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, the acclaimed designer behind Super Mario and Zelda, has explained why he believes generative AI won’t make human creativity obsolete.
"There will always be a role left for us to play."

Post-surgery where you are on a liquid diet for two+ weeks and have to walk for hours a day for better healing is some kind of joke when you are a giant needing >2kCal.
Might give up on yogurt and huel and do peanut butter, jelly, banana, ice cream in blender or something.
> who think their ICS networks are airgapped when they are running unencrypted serial over RF
Can't stress this enough. Our definition of an untrusted input needs to be any interface to a system.
i2c on your switch reading DDM from optics?
untrusted input. SMBus on a mobo? untrusted input.
that rs232 bridge sitting on 900Mhz? absent specific mitigations, untrusted input.
while humans could (and did) exploit those, it was a lot of work to enumerate them, but now the cost of enumeration both offensively and defensively has dropped significantly.
It’s too late. We needed to be spinning out open hardware & verified software to replace the vendor stacks last year with some kind of national service program to understand and migrate systems (e.g. INL & NREL doing nothing but this).
We still have folks running critical infra who think their ICS networks are airgapped when they are running unencrypted serial over RF, never mind actually being connected to the internet through paths they didn’t anticipate.
Water & Wastewater systems are probably the most vulnerable.
anyway, hi! P(bloom)>P(doom).
hoping I’ll make it to 2050 and by then we’ll have the tech to reset my practical age to 20 so I can raise some wonderfully superintelligent gene-modded children.

It might not actually be too late, but would require an effort so nuts I don’t think it’s possible.
Ignoring technical aspects for a second, just budget and purchasing cycles are too long to get contractors in to update ICS systems.
It needs temporary federal preemption of local controland a hybrid civil eng - cyber sec uniformed group like USPHS to surge it.
Think national labs developing devices that can be easily independently tested: think a ICS analogue of the betrusted precursor. Simple enough to use older domestic fabs for components and assembly yet probably not game over if someone ordered them on AliExpress.
Running software w a ton of verification work, and tested by next gen models prior to their release.
Maybe this explains why SF has been so weird this trip?
Got cornered in Whole Foods on Monday by woman being pushy that I should model and had “incredible curves”?! and then on Tuesday a guy asked me to dinner as I was leaving 495 Powell w a massive bag of preop meds 🤔
