Ah yes, all of the precedents and lawful authority that this president cares so much about adhering to.

Crypto shredding?

Some have done it (repo includes links to main articles covering the process): https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-watchdog

Note: I work for sentry.

If you’re on iOS, and don’t use swipe keyboard, disable that functionality. I found it made a big improvement for me.

There is a whole KIP that is “preview” on Kafka 4.1 to handle this use case natively: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/plugins/servlet/mobile?c...

Note: I haven’t had a chance to test it out in anger personally yet.

yep i mentioned that in another thread below. very excited to see it added, but it will be some time until its production ready / they implement the full feature set

“I can stop any time I want!”

You don't stop doing drugs because there's some movie you want to see. People do get off their phones for that.

Have you seen how many people watch movies these days? Even in the cinema they are scrolling.

Not touching alcohol for 12 hours a day does not mean you are not an alcoholic.

If you stare at a wall all day because you have nothing to do, are you addicted to staring at the wall, or do you just have nothing to do?

If someone stops drinking for a long enough period, with no urge to return to drinking, then yes, they aren't an alcoholic. You just made up a silly 12 hour window so you could beat a straw man to death.

If an alcoholic has been clean for decades, he is still an alcoholic, because the second he takes alcohol again, his brain switches back to addiction mode. That's the thing with addictions, they even destroy the good feeling you initially had about with drug.

When you are staring at a wall all day, you can probably think of a lot of other things you could do and did. When you stare at a wall all day, and think of nothing and enjoy it, then I would say you have mental problems. The problem isn't that you do something for a long time, the problem is that you can't think of something else or can't control you to do something else, even if you want.

Uv solves this (with some new standards). ./script.py will now install the python version, create a venv, and install dependencies (very quickly) if they don’t exist already.

#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script # /// script # requires-python = ">=3.12" # dependencies = [ # "ffmpeg-normalize", # ] # ///

> Specifically, the paper estimates that Llama 3.1 70B has memorized 42 percent of the first Harry Potter book well enough to reproduce 50-token excerpts at least half the time. (I’ll unpack how this was measured in the next section.)

> Interestingly, Llama 1 65B, a similar-sized model released in February 2023, had memorized only 4.4 percent of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. This suggests that despite the potential legal liability, Meta did not do much to prevent memorization as it trained Llama 3. At least for this book, the problem got much worse between Llama 1 and Llama 3.

> Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was one of dozens of books tested by the researchers. They found that Llama 3.1 70B was far more likely to reproduce popular books—such as The Hobbit and George Orwell’s 1984—than obscure ones. And for most books, Llama 3.1 70B memorized more than any of the other models.

AI posts (including this one) are all over his employers blog lately, so there’s some stake (fly MCP, https://fly.io/blog/fuckin-robots/, etc).
