Just completed a very insightful course on "Building Strategic Foresight Capabilities" offered by EDHEC.

Interested in discussion the topic with me. Why not contact me or join the conversation.

It's not just statistics: GPT-4 does reason. https://jbconsulting.substack.com/p/its-not-just-statistics-gpt-4-does (interesting) #AI #capabilities #ChatGPT

@cwebber can I ask you a #capabilities question?

I'm curious how much overlap/convergence there is between the way cross-vat IPC sends serialized descriptions of pipelined ops referencing remote caps and the way that syscalls in io_uring can be interpreted as ops on references to kernel-side data structures (where ebpf could be the most general possible pipelining scheme)

e.g., where does the comparison break down? has anyone talked about this pattern/evolution in general?

@chjara One of the many ideas that comes up in the #LispOS papers.

One interesting aspect it also would have is that it'd lend itself very nicely to storage #capabilities.

@mcc @dalias @eldritchanchovy That's kinda what #Syndicate in #Squeakphone is being used for.

As part of pre-release safety testing for its new #GPT4 #AI model, launched Tuesday, #OpenAI allowed an AI testing group to assess the potential #risks of the model's #emergent #capabilities—including #PowerSeeking #behavior #SelfReplication, and #SelfImprovement. While the testing group found that GPT-4 was "ineffective at the autonomous replication task," the nature of the experiments raises eye-opening questions about the safety of #future #AISystems.https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/03/openai-checked-to-see-whether-gpt-4-could-take-over-the-world/ #AI #Risk #safety

Over the last few months, my colleague Patrick Jahr and I wrapped four #ProjectFugu APIs for #Blazor #WebAssembly: The Badging, File Handling, Web Share, and Async Clipboard API. You can now conveniently use these modern web #capabilities from C#. Thanks to @KristofferStrube for his valuable insights into wrapping APIs for Blazor and his feedback on our article. #webcapabilities https://www.thinktecture.com/net/adding-superpowers-to-your-blazor-webassembly-app-with-project-fugu-apis/

To my knowledge container breakout is incredibly difficult to achieve (assuming the container was deployed correctly), as it requires kernel exploitation, and thus a hacker with proper systems programming knowledge[1]

Buffer overflow is usually exploited in order to gain control over the application's privileges, as a sort of puppet master. But in a container the application itself has extremely limited #capabilities or knowlege about the system.

What kind of memory exploit in C could be used to escalate the privileges of a container?

#ArianeGroup 🇪🇺 was so #desperate to ensure the #Susie concept stood out that it proposed recovering the #spacecraft propulsively. To enable this kind of recovery, the spacecraft would be required to launch with a large reserve of propellant ⛽ that would not be necessary if it was being recovered with a parachute 🪂 system. In a vehicle like the #SpaceX #Starship upper stage, this fuel spend can be mitigated by its huge #capacity. However, in a vehicle as small as Susie, this tradeoff becomes more than a little hard to swallow. The US 🇺🇸 #SpaceShuttle was the product of this same kind of extreme #compromise which, in the end, ensured that it was not capable of delivering on its most important #capabilities https://europeanspaceflight.substack.com/p/funding-arianegroups-susie-concept

Love for #xterm

I know many people won't know about #xterm or have already dismissed it because it's "old", etc., but I believe that opinion is doing #xterm an injustice.

Just because a program is old, doesn't mean it's obsolete -- and for years, Thomas Dickey has done an amazing job at keeping #xterm up to date.

Sure, it's not a GPU-accelerated program. Sure, does support Sixel (yay).

But in reading Thomas' website, #xterm deserves a whole lot more recognition than it gets. See: https://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.faq.html

So let's see some love for #xterm, it's #capabilities, and the fact that (IMO) it's overlooked significantly. There's no reason for that -- it does a shit load more than kitty does, for example.

Reading Martha #Nussbaum today, having a renewed appreciation for her incredible mind and the diversity of her writing.
(trying to reconnect in my head the nuances in her #Capabilities approach vs #Sen)
I love how she's not afraid to question everything.
