  • reminded of mordechai guri (from ben-gurion uni) whose whole dept just keeps popping out side channel attacks year after year, but most of them are in “the coil sits in the plate under the bagel (also ignore the PCB for data decode)” field of capacity (exactly because of noise etc)

    I mean, some legitimately interesting research on its own in this field - the stuff about cpu states through power sidechannel (most desktop/laptop PSUs are non-filtering and not isolated, so you can reverse-observe cpu state from minute differences on supply side) and such are pretty neat! impractical as fuck, but neat



  • is the consensus solution on how to subvert the acausal robot god

    dunno if you’ve yet gotten to look at the most recent yud emanation[0][1][2], but there’s a whole “and if the robot god gets too uppity just boop it on the nose” bit in there

    [0] - I mean the all-caps “YOU’RE ALL GONNA DIE” book that came out recently

    [1] - yes I know “emanation” is a terrible wordchoice, no I won’t change it

    [2] - it’s on libgen feel free to steal it, fuck giving that clown any more money he’s got enough grift dollars already







  • some UN-associated ACM talk I was listening to recently had someone cite a number at (iirc) $1.5tn total estimated investment $800b[0]. haven’t gotten to fact-check it but there’s a number of parts of that talk I wish to write up and make more known

    one of the people in it made some entirely AGI-pilled comments, and it’s quite concerning

    this talk; looks like video is finally up on youtube too (at the time I yanked it by pcap-ing a zoom playout session - turns out zoom recordings are hella aggressive about not being shared)

    the question I asked was:

    To Csaba (the current speaker): it seems that a lot of the current work you’re engaged in is done presuming that AGI is a certainty. what modelling you have you done without that presumption?

    response is about here

    [0] edited for correctness; forget where I saw the >$1.5t number



  • yes, sneerclub exists to ridicule these people (see sub sidebar for some links)

    and yep, your takeaway about that language is exactly right. although every single one of them continues to swear at every opportunity that they’re not a cult, even midway through praising their cultlord
