You could be right. I have not been alive that long and I must admit I’m not super educated on the exact timelines of many older programs. But in my lifetime, all the exciting programs have been delayed by a lot.
I guess I confidently spouted some incorrect information if you were right.
I totally get your point, but I don’t think SpaceX has any engineer problems. They’ve had a lot of issues with their test articles, but as far as it seems, that’s sort of by design using the move fast and break things philosophy, which obviously isn’t good in some ways. But it worked for the Falcon 9 landings, and it’s going to work for starship, and all the detractors and haters will say nothing in five years when Starship is an extremely successful program.
I think a lot of people fail to see the extreme space fans and engineers who are super into space are willing to suffer through some of these things to work on what is actually the most incredible space program in our lifetime. I wouldn’t do it. I’m not an engineer though, and I really do fucking hate Elon Musk. But I say it again. Starship is awesome, and it’s going to be extremely successful, despite what you may believe now. SpaceX has a very long history of proving the haters wrong, in fact I can’t think of a single example when the haters and people saying “its impossible” ended up being right long term
You got them on a technicality. But multiple test articles have pretty much reached orbit, intentionally just missing orbit so they would re enter in a known location should something go wrong, and something has gone wrong most of the time.
I’m excited for the staship program because it’s the most exciting spaceflight development in my lifetime, yes fuck Elon but that doesn’t change the facts of how exciting the program is for a space lover. The upcoming launches with v3 hardware are going to be very exciting, hopefully most of the kinks have been resolved.
The more pressing issue IMO is that they haven’t really shown any of the moon landing hardware, which will be substantially different than the Starship articles they are using for testing now.
I don’t think you’re educated on the matter because landing on the moon with the mission plan that they set out requires the lunar gateway to be in place, it is not and likely won’t be for a long time. It was going to be impossible to land on the moon by the third mission (unless significantly delayed) no matter who was in charge. Like all ambitious space missions in history, it will be delayed, delayed, and delayed again. Sadly that’s how it has always been.
You shouldn’t confidently spout incorrect information
“The aerospace safety advisory panel recommended that Nasa rethink its objectives for Artemis III, … The panel said that the call for a revision was urgent, “given the demanding mission goals”.”
The fucking safety advisory panel suggested the change moron dude, not Isaac. But yes fuck Elon cuck the pos ket head
Edit: removed unnecessarily rude words, sorry I’m just an asshole
Appreciate your explanation!
Good thing this will be unenforceable for open source software, or at least things can be forked if they are maintained by bigger companies that need to comply.
Same, my unraid server is over 40 tb but I only have ~1.5 tb of critical data, being my immich photos and some files. I have an on site and off site raspberry pi with 4tb nvme SSD for nightly backups
I think the laws the government are passing around online Id requirements and trying to force companies to break encryption so they can have pervasive surveillance powers are very dystopian and the main thing I’m talking about. I’m sure the people and cities are very nice though, I’ve never been
The issue happening in Japan is that there won’t be enough young people to support all the old people who can’t work
Could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the original comment is talking about how the UK is pretty fascist and dystopian as well.
Right, why leave China when you’ve committed that much already and risk prosecution
Sensationalists and pretty much false headline
Open source software like GrapheneOS is the only software you should ever trust to not be government spyware.
I hope it pops, but everyone is misquoting Nvidia. Pretty sure they said they will invest up to 100 billion, they never said a time frame and the wording implies that investment would be spread over time.
Still f ngreedia and closedai
Bitwarden with a vaultwarden docker container on my home server. Access over a VPS.
Broadly speaking, yes, and it’ll keep going until they run out of money. However, I think there is a very small chance that one of the companies is able to make a breakthrough probably with a different kind of architecture than our current LLMs that does get us to models that make genuine discoveries and breakthroughs.
Very unlikely though.
I’m pretty sure the massive buildout is for training new models not for compute power for end users. Their justification is they need more compute to get the superhuman level intelligence AIs that they have been claiming. So if that pans out their probably gonna be fine, but seems unlikely that’ll pan out how they want it to
More people should use the anonymous internet using tools like I2P and Tor. Hopefully that’ll be a silver lining with all the governments around the world cracking down on freedom of speech and increasing censorship.
The details on how it works from the website for those reading this chain.
"how does this work
k-id, the age verification provider discord uses doesn’t store or send your face to the server. instead, it sends a bunch of metadata about your face and general process details. while this is good for your privacy (well, considering some other providers send actual videos of your face to their servers), its also bad for them, because we can just send legitimate looking metadata to their servers and they have no way to tell its not legitimate. while this was easy in the past, k-id’s partner for face verification (faceassure) has made this significantly harder to achieve after amplitudes k-id verifier was released, (which doesn’t work anymore because of it.)
with discord’s decision of making the age verification requirement global, we decided to look into it again to see if we can bypass the new checks. step 1: encrypted_payload and auth_tag
the first thing we noticed that the old implementation doesn’t send when comparing a legitimate request payload with a generated one, is its missing encrypted_payload, auth_tag, timestamp and iv in the body.
looking at the code, this appears to be a simple AES-GCM cipher with the key being nonce + timestamp + transaction_id, derived using HKDF (sha256). we can easily replicate this and also create the missing parameters in our generated output. step 2: prediction data
heres where it kind of gets tricky, even after perfectly replicating the encryption, our verification attempt still doesn’t succeed, so they must also be doing checks on the actual payload.
after some trial and error, we narrowed the checked part to the prediction arrays, which are outputs, primaryOutputs and raws.
turns out, both outputs and primaryOutputs are generated from raws. basically, the raw numbers are mapped to age outputs, and then the outliers get removed with z-score (once for primaryOutputs and twice for outputs).
there is also some other differences:
XScaledShiftAmt and yScaledShiftAmt in predictions are not random but rather can be one of two values It is checked that the media name (camera) matches one of your media devices in the array of devices It is checked if the states completion times match the state timeline
with all of that done, we can officially verify our age as an adult. all of this code is open source and available on github, so you can actually see how we do this exactly."
Yes, even persistent isn’t really an account. It’s just a encrypted portion of the drive to store files between boots.
