For the folks living in the UK, this is such a brilliant line: "Him against the Bin".

#CountBinface

While I was listening to a podcast yesterday, a thought came to me. I kept developing it in my head, but some parts were put so nicely here: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/borrowed-expertise-why-ais-productivity-boom-may-not-survive-the-generation-that-built-it/

One thing though which is not discussed by the author but only in my head: assuming that AI is a fallible search engine for compressed human knowledge democratising the same, how much will it counteract it's negative effects?

Without context

Further from the article: "It was not enough for the Claimants simply to establish that the challenged strategies reduced the effectiveness of emissions-control systems outside the relevant testing conditions."

"For a defeat device to be found, there needs to be an intention to cause the emissions control system to operate differently when it senses it is being tested," from BBC News - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0mye0d1297o

I mean, this is an ECU software. It is really hard to write any function in a software without intent. Especially ones that monitor conditions and behave differently based on said conditions.

@patrickhadfield@mastodon.scot also one can support the good cause: https://ko-fi.com/countbinface

@davep@infosec.exchange supported. It is for a good cause.

@molentum@mastoart.social I guess it talks a lot about the people speaking the language. And that I mean without prejudice, this being just a theoretical idea. Not mine though but interesting nonetheless.

@molentum@mastoart.social funny that, in Hungarian there are three words one can use, to translate loneliness. Of course all of them with negative connotations. As for solitude? The exact same words. Ie.: there is no room given in the language for the positive aspect of solitude.

We're back in action. Ghostty was the casualty. I've had a quick nap, memory test finished 😂

Or I can watch memory test slowly progressing on a micro pc: Celeron J1800 trying to verify 8gb of ram. Or I can shitpost 🤔

It finally happened on this new (6 months old) laptop of mine. Now I'm just waiting for the Linux kernel to figure out how to shuffle the memory so that things can actually happen. I wonder what will be OOM killed at the end? Bluetooth is already fallen ill 😅

@jonny I've had some free time when the researcher paper was released: https://zskulcsar.github.io/posts/mirage-reasoning/
