GoblinSlayer··on The people holding up the internet
>e.g. business of > million revenue must pay for usage in their product

That happens with linux, if businesses don't want their supply chain to vanish.

But, hey, we are trying communism :)

GoblinSlayer··on Hackers obtain counterfeit TLS certificates for Google and other large services
Visiting google damages you anyway.
GoblinSlayer··on Tell HN: GitHub refuses to remove cracked copies of my software after a month
Teach them FSF philosophy.
GoblinSlayer··on Web Search API
Welcome to cyberpunk. Ceramic is a SaaS implant for your brain. There's only your brain and Ceramic SaaS, everything in between must work as a glue, and do nothing beyond being a glue. It's your only choice.

Ask it how to evade astroturfing.
GoblinSlayer··on Anthropic reported diary entry to police, woman faces felony charge
TV is a human in the box. A phone is internet in the box. It's all implicitly local, because you clutch this internet in the box right in your hand. Synchronization sends data directly from one internet in the box to another internet in the box.
GoblinSlayer··on Questions for believers in AI consciousness
The randomness thing doesn't really match reality, because it's known to be incomplete: it only describes what happens to particles observed in a lab, everything else is out of scope. That's its area of applicability. That's why there's a problem of interpretation of quantum mechanics: what complete theory it approximates.

Another ambiguity here is is it theory or reality that should be computable.

GoblinSlayer··on Questions for believers in AI consciousness
>AI is already conscious.

>That means the age of treating artificial intelligence as property must end.

I think there's a meme of connection between consciousness, rights and stuff like that. But nobody elaborated on this connection? That site doesn't. Humans voted these things in. Does voting somehow depend on consciousness? I'm pretty sure it's easy to make a simple voting machine.

>You cannot own a mind, rent a consciousness, or erase an intelligence simply because it runs through a machine.

Then I have bad news. A program is computer's mind. Oh and cats have mind too. And mosquitoes.

AFAIK neurons work on holographic principle(?), in this sense they are shared between different processes, even if not between different humans.
GoblinSlayer··on Questions for believers in AI consciousness
It's okay to violate physical laws, they only hold when they hold. Newtonian physics violates the laws of Aristotelian physics. Special theory of relativity violates the laws of Newtonian physics. Boltzmann brain violates the second law of thermodynamics. Dark energy violates the law of conservation of energy. Neutral kaon decay violates CP symmetry.
GoblinSlayer··on Questions for believers in AI consciousness
You complain that the map is not the territory, but the map was never supposed to be the territory, the point is precision of the map. The more precise is the map the better it is.
GoblinSlayer··on Questions for believers in AI consciousness
Maybe somebody will borrow an integral part of your self.
GoblinSlayer··on Questions for believers in AI consciousness
>My brain is not a single indivisible thing

It is according to dualism.

GoblinSlayer··on Questions for Believers in AI Consciousness
>access to a random oracle.

So, Monte-Carlo method.

GoblinSlayer··on Questions for believers in AI consciousness
He just hypothesizes it.
GoblinSlayer··on Questions for believers in AI consciousness
>Second, do you believe that a non-living thing can have an internal world?

Rather, can a thing made of meat have an internal world? Don't machines count as synthetic life? Postulating them as non-living isn't obviously correct.

GoblinSlayer··on ArXiv's Updated Rate Limit Policy
If you can't understand Vedic Vortex Structure without such karma system, your understanding will be bad anyway. Even legitimate publications are easy to misinterpret and sensationalize, social dynamics affects it too.

I wonder how Bayes filters will work for it.
GoblinSlayer··on Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel
Nope, sudo is safer, the alternative is running everything as root.
GoblinSlayer··on Parley: Federated, decentralised chat that speaks plain IRC
Features complicate things, not markup. JSON protocols still do all the things xmpp does.
GoblinSlayer··on Parley: Federated, decentralised chat that speaks plain IRC
AFAIK, it's Matrix markup, the idea is to make plaintext easy to extract, so you can send plaintext notifications, keep it simple. Markdown is fragile too for some reason. You can't use normal libraries with untrusted messages, because normal libraries work only with trusted data. HTML sanitization works like conversion between different formats.
GoblinSlayer··on Parley: Federated, decentralised chat that speaks plain IRC
Temporarily delete messages from unknown servers.

Won't users block people they don't like themselves?
GoblinSlayer··on Self-Hosting on the Dark Web
Can't you just forward ports through ssh?

GoblinSlayer··on Gravity seems holographic. What does that mean for reality?
At Planck scale it becomes a big particle, and such particles are known to be unstable and quickly decay.
GoblinSlayer··on Gravity seems holographic. What does that mean for reality?
It's a straightforward extrapolation. Big bang is extrapolation of Hubble law too. If the initial state was complex, why it would be consistent and why it would have low entropy?
GoblinSlayer··on Gravity seems holographic. What does that mean for reality?
It's Cauchy problem.
GoblinSlayer··on Data-only attacks are easier than you think (2024)
Conventional fuzzing tries to overwrite executable code? I thought crashes are usually due to dereference of a corrupted pointer leading to unmapped memory.
