(I moved here from @robryk.@qoto.org)
I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).

@Nixie@nixie.name Ah, I see, so the idea is not to do any energy dissipation, but to shift resonant frequencies down, by increasing mass while keeping spring parameters (ks) unchanged?
Replying to
@Nixie@nixie.name how do you design such things? Do you aim to move resonant frequencies outside of some range, or do you aim to cause energy dissipation?

@Steve@social.coop do you want to be able to edit them later? If no, would an odt with one full page image per page be satisfactory?

@domi Were the huge posts with lights in room H (the ones with loud air compressors) not there during buildup? (I thought they were part of CCH, because I couldn't see how one could disassemble them to a more manageable length; if I'm wrong I'm curious who brought them.)

@domi Yeah, you're right. (I managed to look at those timestamps and miss them in the background ^^*)

Do you have a reason to expect whether replacing conversation with directly amending the language model's output (in a similar way to one that people use to guarantee that the output is e.g. valid json) and using that amended output for context would be better/worse?

@shaungriffith @_thegeoff And navigation would be mightily confused (you'd either need to fake weird maneuvers, change the time in the last state vector update accordingly, or end up with navigation that claims a totally different position).

Another approach that mitigates the issue is sharing infrastructure with friends, but not ones you live with. Then the potential for abuse is split, and potential for abuse of infrastructure you use by people you live with is even lower than for single-user instances, because of lack of physical access.
Which abuse avenues via home automation do you think are most important? Ones where abuser uses it to spy, or ones where they command it to directly abuse and/or gaslight, or something else?

Have you had an opportunity to use ytalk to chat at some point? (It would send messages as you type, making each character visible as you press the key.) If so, I'm curious whether you disliked it.
@soatok I'm confused what are the consequences of first vulnerability. It seems to allow an attacker who can control the public key the victim will believe their counterparty has to cause the victim to establish session secrets ~controlled[1] by the attacker. If the attacker is in such a position, they are essentially able to impersonate the victim's counterparty anyway. How does being able to force session secrets to the fixed value give them more?
(Or am I misunderstanding something more basic?)
[1] not arbitrarily controlled, but can force them to some fixed ones, so the attacker is more powerful that one that simple knows the session secrets.
E: better grammar

@agturcz@circumstances.run @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt There used to be way more longer codes than the basic ones and the medical ones, but those got obsoleted by radio. Medical one didn't, because it also helped with communicating with a doctor without a shared language and as a framework for describing symptoms and treatment.

@statsguy@mas.to Oh, wow, I wasn't aware that no attempt was made to rescue the crew.
Do you know what's the story about the convention you're citing and submarines, given that it was ratified after WWII so after Laconia "incident"? Did everyone pretend it didn't happen?

I'm actually more apprehensive of llm-based security reviews than of code generation, because there are more problems with the former that I can't see a feasible way of solving in the current world.
Unreliable security reviews create the same kinds of issues that level 2 autonomous driving does. Even if we assume that this is not an issue during code reviews due to general poor quality of attempts to look at security during code reviews now, we have more problems caused by statelessness of the bot: adversaries can build a similar bot and search for vulnerabilities it won't complain about, and the cases where subsequent PRs worsen the situation incrementally (not necessarily due to malice: perhaps due to people doing the minimum amount of changes to make the bot "happy") are hard to deal with.
For code generation I can see areas (well specified problems or problems where we have a reliable way of scoring solutions against each other, and when the code will run sandboxed or in a way morally equivalent to sandboxing) where, with sufficient effort, one could use LLM generators safely (albeit the effort I foresee would probably negate many of the reasons people want to use them for).

It's kinda funny that this effect is similar to one effect of being drunk. It seems to me to be one of the most beneficial effects of being drunk, too. At the same time I don't know anyone who's apprehensive of drinking alcohol _for that reason_.
I wonder whether the important distinction between this blessed-vel-cursed sword and a pint of beer is how sudden the effect is, who actually voices the embarrassing fact, or something else.
