Its an interesting perspective, except… that’s not how AI works (even if it’s advertised that way). Even the latest approach for ChatGPT is not perfect memory. It’s a glorified search functionality. When you type a prompt the system can choose to search your older chats for related information and pull it into context… what makes that information related is the big question here - it uses an embedding model to index and compare your chats. You can imagine it as a fuzzy paragraph search - not exact paragraphs, but paragraphs that roughly talk about the same topic…

it’s not a guarantee that if you mention not liking sushi in one chat - talking about restaurant of choice will pull in the sushi chat. And even if it does pull that in, the model may choose to ignore that. And even if it doesn’t ignore that - You can choose to ignore that. Of course the article talks about healing so I imagine instead of sushi we’re talking about some trauma…. Ok so you can choose not to reveal details of your trauma to AI(that’s an overall good idea right now anyway). Or you can choose to delete the chat - it won’t index deleted chats.

At the same time - there are just about as many benefits of the model remembering something you didn’t. You can imagine a scenario where you mentioned your friend being mean to you and later they are manipulating you again. Maybe having the model remind you of the last bad encounter is good here? Just remember - AI is a machine and you control both its inputs and what you’re to do with its outputs.

Apparently Nintendo switch 2 is using the standard already, so it might go over better than Sony.

Good point! I wonder if we’re spoiled by computer invention though. Would be interesting to compare preWW2 invention rates and now. I suspect computers just made everything else easier, but now we’re back to hard problems

To be fair, there’s only been 24 year’s of 21 century. Most things you gave listed happened at the end of the 20th century. But also the question is somewhat self negating - we won’t know what’s the greatest invention until we see it working great, but it takes much more than 24 years to take an invention from concept to consumption. For example computational biology is kicking off. Computer aided dna generation started in the past 24 years. But it’s so new few people think about it. Just like no one thought of internet as the greatest invention in the 70s… it was just too new

Gentoo. It makes me feel like I’m in full control of my system.

My friend, let me tell you a story during my studies when I had to help someone find a bug in their 1383-line long main() in C… on the other hand I think Ill spare you from the gruesome details, but it took me 30 hours.

The Test part of TDD isn’t meant to encompass your whole need before developing the application. It’s function-by function based. It also forces you to not have giant functions. Let’s say you’re making a compiler. First you need to parse text. Idk what language structure we are doing yet but first we need to tokenize our steam. You write a test that inputs hello world into your tokenizer then expects two tokens back. You start implementing your tokenizer. Repeat for parser. Then you realize you need to tokenize numbers too. So you go back and make a token test for numbers.

So you don’t need to make all the tests ahead of time. You just expand at the smallest test possible.

What are you talking about? Modern phones are all just slightly different to be incompatible with what you’re talking about.

My first thought is Cingular Wireless

I see your edit but in case you’re interested - a capacitor is technically a 0 resistance battery for DC.

I miss the times when different phones had character. Even phones of the same company looked completely different:

Now it’s just the same rectangle stretched different ways and maybe different color sides.

I like the concept of IR blaster but the one I had was in Samsung Galaxy s6 (or 5 don’t remember) and it came paired with a HORRIBLE app that tried to do its darnest to datamine your viewing habits and it’d do push notifications 5 times per day with just crappy ads. I really hate all the ad spam on Samsung phones back then. Idk if that’s still the case

What was that about him doing twitter’s technology policing and leaving running the company to the new CEO?

Your own article says it’s VMs. The tpm itself can be bricked. Ok that sucks. Still not persistent like you describe.

I haven’t worked directly on gov cloud but I’m familiar with its design. The two systems are completely isolated from each other with internet in between. I know you can port forward in AWS so a solution would be to spin up a VPN server in AWS and connect to it from gov cloud.

No they don’t. Worst case known attacks have resulted in insecure keys being generated. And even if malware could somehow be transferred out of it you wouldn’t have to trash your whole computer - just unplug the TPM

Tpm modules are pretty good. And you can buy them separately like another card. Motherboards usually have a slot for them. They are tiny like usb drives. They essentially are usb derives but for your passwords and keys. You can even configure Firefox to store your passwords in tpm

The only one with math masters getting hired for their knowledge I know was hired by NSA

Yeah I had a similar feel.
