Could you point me in the direction of said tricks please as I am having trouble getting a connection out of the RF ?


You can start with studying research work about Chinese firewall to get the idea how DPI usually works [1]. Then you can start up a Wireshark and try sending different packets and see which are blocked and which pass through, or experiment with modifying VPN packets to make them pass through.

To experiment with this you need to buy a VPS abroad.

If you don't want to do that then you can search for existing utilities like: GoodbyeDPI, XRay/reality, AmneziaVPN etc.

Good paper, thanks for the link.


Thankyou, great story :)


There is something called vibration induced white finger. It was known as drillers finger too.


Yep, that traditionally happened after you had worked in a mine for years using daily a (air powered) drill or similar, though it has been recognized as a industry/work hazard only relatively recently, after the 1970's:

One of the sisters is a great example for sure, and they were in my mind as I read your previous comment but I cant think of any others that come even close. Would love to see other examples.


I too worried that my cost would balloon but I find that I actually search less as the results, for me, are better quality.


Looks great but too much tracking for me.


Is this written by ai? Its mostly rambling nonsense.


Two things:

First of all,

Having read the article (though with relative attention), I do not see how it could be categorized as «rambling nonsense» - it seems to be a very interesting page of history. You will have to be more detailed.

Then,

It is getting perplexing and a suggestion of careless bad habit to read 'AI' there where _'statistical language models'_ seems to be the right term.

"Artificial Intelligence" is the "problem solver that can replace a professional", and there is no need for encouraging disparaging tints on the whole, and there are good reasons to differentiate "AI proper", made to obtain reliable outputs, from the attempts around it.


What's really perplexing is how you passed off an entirely invented meaning for the term AI so authoritatively...

You're definitely in a minority if you really think LMs don't qualify as

> the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages


> how

Yes, it's what thinkers do :)

Statements come from their own processing.

> LMs

I am afraid the term 'Language Model' does not fit the category; 'Statistical Language Model' is required to define (after interpretation) what they do. Not all Language Models need to be based on relational frequencies of term occurrence.

(Hopefully, some will be even based on mechanisms of Intelligence - the opposite.)

> «the theory and development [...]»

If you wanted to quote John McCarthy (project proposal for the Dartmouth summer seminar, 1955), the actual words were «An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves».

I reckon the letter of what you quoted seems to be a "merriamwebsterism" - inherently with limited authority, because dictionaries typically express use, not meaning.

> qualify

The output of text must be an intelligent composition to fit into the context of a «task» that «require[s] human intelligence», as per the definition you proposed - because you do not need «human intelligence» to delirate (as in, outputting text not filtered by intelligence).

> minority

If that ever were an indicator, it would suggest the possibility of a promising stance, given that in Paretian distributions (what you actually find outside of selected groups) the function of the majority is poor.


> Yes, it's what thinkers do :)

You're proving that thinking and knowing are wholly uncorrelated.

> Not all Language Models need to be based on relational frequencies of term occurrence.

"A language model is a probability distribution over sequences of words"

If you don't even know what an LM is, I don't feel like reading the rest of this.


> proving

Whereas your contribution is?

> know

An interview with Yann LeCun came out yesterday: he defined (S)LMs along those lines. Maybe discuss the matter with him. Does YLC represent an authoritative part enough for you?

> don't feel

"Outstanding". Does not make much sense here


This is HN - you MUST question any article painting Google in a good light and SHOULD question articles that portray any other company well but MAY just ignore them.

Any other text such as definitions for the term AI is valid as long as it complies with RFC101HN.


I hate this comment and don't wanna upvote it. But I'm fucken gonna.

Mad props for correct usage of requirement level keywords sufficient to cause an amused snort.


If you Alt-Space, M, and press one of the arrow keys, the windows will 'stick' to your mouse cursor so you can just wiggle your mouse after they key combo to bring it to you.


I’ve never experienced membranes wearing out but they sure do get extra mushy over time. I guess it’s boiling frogs.


My personal experience has been that it's not the membranes that wear out first, it's the little plastic feet that hold the keys.


Which AP are you looking at for the outdoors ?
