He's expecting to get donations. That's it.

It was in Poland but in Poland you can still stop trains with radio signal of a specific frequency. No encryption, no validation. Anyone with a hobbyist level radio equipment can stop freight trains. And they do. Train operators usually just call the station, confirm that it's a prank and 5 minutes later start again.

Poland's national transportation agency has stated its intention to upgrade Poland's railway systems by 2025 to use almost exclusively GSM cellular radios, which do have encryption and authentication. But until then, it will continue to use the relatively unprotected VHF 150 MHz system that allows the radio-stop commands to be spoofed.

It's a important part of the definition:

species (noun):

A group of closely related organisms that are very similar to each other and are usually capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.

Basically if you're similar enough and can produce fertile offspring you're considered the same species. This is why one a single mutation is unlikely to produce a new species. If the mutation has such great consequences that it produces new species by definition it cannot have fertile offspring with anyone else. And yes, it says 'usually', there are exceptions but I think this is how it works in general.

I get all the advantages (portability and distribution mainly) but I also think we did the transition to web in the worst possible way. We basically took all the shitty solutions that were there 20 years ago and started improving them gradually at the same time as we moved everything to web. The result is that web apps are security and privacy nightmare.

What I think should have happened is that some standardized execution environment should have been defined that would use HTML/CSS for rendering but would also apply strict security. I would base it on web assembly, not javascript. You would be able to embedded this environment in a browser or install it at OS level. It would download an app package from a domain and by default only allow network communication with that domain. Everything else would have to be approved by the user. Basically something like web based android apps but stricter or Electron but lighter and distributed over the web. Instead of doing that we've spend 20 years perfecting lazy loading of JS scripts so that each website can have 400 trackers. And yes, I know we can do it now with Tauri but it's not very common.

compute power to set this up for a thousand people [...], UI, IT and fine tuning by a couple data scientists/programmers trained in LLMs.

Yes, that's what needed. It's not just about downloading an open source LLM. That was my point. I see we agree now.

As long as it's also ignored by hacker you should be fine.

I agree that $200M is way too much to spend on a LLMs but talking about downloading open source models is completely missing the point. They are not paying for some sort of Grok license so that they can access this amazing model. They are paying for the computational capacity needed to run this model and provide access to thousands of people over some period of time. The alternative here is to simply buy everyone a subscription to OpenAI or something.

If there's only one individual of a given species he cannot reproduce with anyone so he would be an endling at the same time.

Oh, ok, you're saying they are more corrupt, not less. Didn't get it.

Being corrupt does not get you territories. I just makes you waste money on never ending conflicts so that private contractors can get richer.

Mutant.

With all this fascism, I'm wondering if Americans are getting any closer to realizing that there were no good guys in WW II. Everyone committed atrocities, the winner simply got to write the history.

What incompetence? It's just the usual corruption. It's 90% of what Pentagon does.

Where are you going to deploy it? On your laptop?

Reversal from what? He stance from the beginning was to keep military contractors happy by selling arms to Ukraine and keep Putin happy by not introducing new sanctions.

The report specifically says that "cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec". They were later switched back to RUN. It wasn't some other system.

This is such a bizarre situation that with just the voice recording we will probably never know what really happened.

It's the only time travel movie that makes any sense.

*Then I offended some of you so that you wold kill and I could forgive you killing me and at the same time kind of forgive everyone everything but not only under certain conditions.

Yes.

Have you seen Timecrimes?
