I can understand if not defend being a tankie for China: it's big, there are trains. But occasionally you still come across "shill for the Ortega family dictatorship in Nicaragua" — more akin to a mafia state than a Communist one — and that's a real head-scratcher.

been wondering a lot about complexity lately. like are there fundamental (or practical) limits to how complex something can be while avoiding the emergence of weird machines

John David Pressman@jdp.extropian.net

So the horror of this is that it finds a RCE in Vapache in like, seven minutes. And the semantics for configuration that make this the case seem so complex that I have trouble believing that apache2 is actually so rigorous as to avoid them all. Like I'm starting to worry there's no bottom.

Fascinating- new position on China from German Chamber of Commerce comes out AGAINST EU's planned solidarity mechanism, designed to compensate firms hit by retaliation "A blanket compensation fund can create false incentives & should not replace companies’ own risk provisioning"

This is a good question, but the real conceptual distinction between P and NP is between problems with efficient algorithms and efficient verification. And we don’t know how to properly specify what “efficient” means.

Colin@colin-fraser.net

I am not very well informed about algorithmic complexity things so apologies if this is a dumb question but is there a way to classify problems that are, say, exponential, for any reasonable size, but become subexponential at absurdly impossibly large sizes? Can this be formally defined?

Some context around this, from a markets person. Historically in LatAm, leftist victories have led to sharp losses over the ~3 months after an election where the left wins. Stocks also typically underperformed into those victories. But 3y post-election, returns for leftists have been *higher*.

Lewis Wade 🗃️@wadehistory.bsky.social

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

Add this to the "AI is less introducing novel problems than it is pushing already-bad dynamics to the breaking point, for good and ill" pile

Danny Palmer@dannypalmer.bsky.social

"AI isn't inventing new novel attack methods, it's accelerating the abuse of poor hygiene, whether it's password hygiene or failure to patch.” Here's my just published interview with Eric Schmitt, CISO of insurance & risk firm Sedgwick. www.infosecurity-magazine.com/interviews/s...

This is a general problem with a lot of these psychologically-scary-to-normies weapons, and also goes for a lot of hypothetical exotic cyberattacks with physical effects: it's usually much easier and cheaper to just lob explosives at something

Calliope@calliope5431.bsky.social

It's a prescription medication, the amounts are diluted - you'd need hundreds of vials just to kill one person. It also makes a pretty poor weapon. The US and USSR both cancelled their botulinum programs in the 1960s because it was inferior in every way to nerve gasses and conventional explosives.

Re MattY's ridiculous "elections in other countries" take (also hi it's me I am other country)

opfuchs.gay@opfuchs.gay

Putting aside the empirical silliness, it's also a quite depressing attitude towards the world to me. Why wouldn't I be interested in what other people elsewhere are up to and care about what happens to them, just because they were born on a different patch of dirt or hold different passports?

I actually understand the take's internal logic from a very particular, nation-state-and-policy-selection-centric conception of democratic theory, but so much the worse for such a conception of politics

"It’s a move from a capital-light leading advanced capitalist sector (the 2010s platform model) to a capital-intensive leading advanced capitalist sector (the 2020s AI model)."

On the day that Meta announces they want to raise $95 billion through new equity, I wrote on a big change that AI is bringing to mainstream financial markets. siliconempires.substack.com/p/the-return...

I'm now imagining a whole pantheon that you have to proactively invoke for different flaws that you know your code contains. Athena forgives this lack of wisdom. Thor forgives this waste of electricity. Shennong forgives this lack of test coverage

in contrast tho, for most people reading this, your work is 99% simple stuff that open models were sufficient for last year

Quantian@quantian.bsky.social

If you are still on the “cheap Chinese models will take share from US labs” cope train you need to get off. US labs are now distilling their own models to compete across the Pareto frontier, so Haiku is better model than Kimi at 1/8th the cost. The only reason to use it is if you MUST self-host.

I would temper my expectations about a new era coming to Serbia. The election winners have virtually the same geopolitical positions as Vucic; most previous election winners (Vucic included!) ran on anticorruption; the student movement is above all populist. Good luck to them but let’s be realistic.

(it's me i can do both)

No I do not want to "hop on a quick call" because I merely created a free account on your platform. You are a Danish company, what makes you think this is acceptable behavior?

"sosteniamo la difesa dell’Ucraina, però no alle armi per una guerra infinita" Come si sostiene la difesa di un paese sul quale cadono bombe quotidianamente? Quando i pacifinti sapranno rispondere a questa domanda, allora si potrà discutere. Fino ad allora, saranno solo chiacchiere pro Putin.
