meanwhile Gemma was yelling at me for violating "boundaries" ... and I was just like "you're a bunch of matrices running on a GPU, you don't have feelings"
I'm curious whether you feel you're actually in control to actually make policy decisions about data protection or whether you feel you could be hit any day by the "$5 wrench" by the government any time they feel it necessary. I'm starting to feel that in this environment, nothing is safe, even if encrypted and on FOSS platforms.
Personally, I advocate for self-hosting communications software, ideally on physical hardware that someone in your community has control over. Zulip runs great on old laptops, if you can solve the IP address problem for hosting it in your house.
And if you want to be extra careful, put your chat system behind a VPN/firewall, so it's difficult to identify what software is being used externally.
And if you're not going to do that, because it sounds like too much work, the next best thing is to at least pick a Cloud service where you can migrate your group to paranoid self-hosting overnight if you decide the work is now worth it.
Self-hosting this way doesn't protect against all threat models. I am human and have children who I love dearly, so it's hard to rule out the possibility of my being compelled to make a malicious release.
But at least the Zulip source code is entirely open and highly readable; so users would at least have a chance to notice and not upgrade. With a centralized architecture like Discord, you're entirely reliant on whisteblowers.
They do not actually live on less, they sacrifice their health or well-being in order to meet the constraint.
I would argue the calculator grossly underestimates necessities because most of these jobs are not doable in old age, so you need to account for saving $1 for each $1 you make, to support yourself while old. You also need an emergency fund, because in the US you get billed $1000 for the most random shit at the most random time.
I got billed $5000 randomly for an echodardiogram because insurance didn't pay for it despite them saying they would. At least I have $5K to spare, but considering that can happen, that needs to be considered a basic necessity.
> It was a lack of appropriate following distance.
Not in my case. I keep plenty of following distance, 9 times out of 10 my hard braking is because some idiot cuts into that following distance and brake-checks me.
Some years ago I made a ESP-based clock that used 60 LEDs in a circle that project RGB shadows via a cone at the center. I used the same WeMos D1 Mini board.
Maybe add to the Claude system prompt that it should work efficiently or else its unfinished work will be handed off to to a stupider junior LLM when its limits run out, and it will be forced to deal with the fallout the next day.
That might incentivize it to perform slightly better from the get go.
"To be clear, we’re not just talking about length, although at 47 inches long it’s certainly substantial. But extremely long zip ties already exist for things like wrapping large bundles of cable. This one is also cartoonishly thick, and features a similarly upscaled locking mechanism that allows it to hold up to 2,000 pounds, according to the company."
You're just moving the goal post & not addressing the question I asked. Why isn't AI optimizing the kernels in its own code the way people have been optimizing it like in the posted paper?
I read the paper. All the prerequisites are already available in existing literature & they basically profiled & optimized around the bottlenecks to avoid pipeline stalls w/ instructions that utilize the available tensor & CUDA cores. Seems like something these super duper AIs that don't get tired should be able to do pretty easily.
It's not that they'd pay individual employees more, it's that they'd hire more workers to account for the fact that their existing workers are tied up doing extra verification.
I wasn't flying 25 years ago but I'm not sure what you mean, or how that's relevant actually. The point is just that it takes them more time to do the "extra screening" if you don't have your ID than the standard screening if you did have your ID.
1. They're not doing screening. The screening comes later. At this stage, they're attempting to identify someone. That has never been the job. The job is to prevent guns, knives, swollen batteries, or anything else that could be a safety threat during air travel.
2. Regardless, the reality is that they do identify travelers. Even so, the job has not changed. If you don't present sufficient identification, they will identify you through other mechanisms. The only thing the new dictate says is that they don't want this document, they want that document.

A job that by their own internal testing, they do well less than 5% of the time (some of their audits showed that 98% of fake/test guns that were sent through TSA got through checkpoints).
