You put your reverse proxy on a publicly available machine then through strict firewalls only accept communication to your back end from the reverse proxy; effective leverage VPCs to make your backend not be on the public Internet. That should allow you to filter out malicious users without affecting your actual application and it's trivial to scale your reverse proxy horizontally or reach for a WAF if you have the need/desire.

Honest question: Given that the only wide consensus of anything approaching general intelligence are humans and that humans are biological systems that have evolved in physical reality, is there any arguments that better efficiency is even possible without relying on leveraging the nature of reality?

For example, analog computers can differentiate near instantly by leveraging the nature of electromagnetism and you can do very basic analogs of complex equations by just connecting containers of water together in certain (very specific) configurations. Are we sure that these optimizations to get us to AGI are possible without abusing the physical nature of the world? This is without even touching the hot mess that is quantum mechanics and its role in chemistry which in turn affects biology. I wouldn't put it past evolution to have stumbled upon some quantum mechanic that allowed for the emergence of general intelligence.

I'm super interested in anything discussing this but have very limited exposure to the literature in this space.

Shame they'll never do it for Warcraft 3 with the remaster still around.

In production environments that won't give you root access, you won't be exec'ing inside of a pod if you aren't an operator or sysadmin.

I've thought a lot about these problems and you eventually hit the need for stronger than natural magnets. Without electricity it's a hard challenge, but without magnets creating electricity in a simple bench scale is a lot harder.

I ended up thinking that you'd need to do a chemical battery to bootstrap electricity and then with electricity generate the electromagnet to create stronger magnets and then iterate from there.

Your next stumbling block from there would be optics as everything else can be made with horrible tolerances. Even lathes and similar machinery can be made with pretty good tolerances without optics. But when you start needing time keeping or miniaturizing components for improved efficiencies, it becomes a blocking issue.

You also need to discover photo-reactive elements to do lithography, but that's a lot easier since it's just silver nitrate and you'd already have the components when you are working towards the initiate bootstrap battery.

Or it just all happens on the client side before it even hits the Internet. I would love if Firefox allowed users to use Postgres instead of sqlite to store their places.sqlite database.

No, but I also believe that it's not so expensive that someone couldn't cover it if it was their hobby. This is doubly true if it's something like HN where it's not trying to scale to infinity.

The right pattern is to put them directly in a queue to talk to a person, but have an system (AI or otherwise) in the queue to gather the minimal information. Like having the person explain the problem (and have something transcribe it) and have the system transfer them to the appropriate team after parsing their problem.

Or for really common cases (ie. turn it on and off, you're affected by an outage, etc), redirect them to an prerecorded message and then let them know that they are still in the queue and can wait for a person. 9/10 it'll solve everything, but also reduce friction of simple things that might be answered.

Yes, though you do have to enable that. For me I tend to have it buffer the video. That way I can even seek backwards of web streams.

Never had to deal with your third point, I just open it via the CLI and it's pretty verbose regarding issues it encounters.

Streaming is not piracy though?

I use this in my homelab for drafting long form thoughts. It's nice since it feels more ephemeral than making a page in a wiki or making a page that gets rendered and hosted statically.

I used to run Ghost for this, but at some point the pervasive push to use Ghost's paid features for an internally hosted blog irked me enough to rip it out.

Whitelist the persistent store?
