The way I understand the users didn't necessarily realize McAfee is responsible, just that a bunch of sqlite files appeared in temp so they might not connect the dots here anyway. Or even know McAfee is installed considering their shady practices.

They previously did not use APEX but that seems to have changed recently: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/grapheneos.org/commit/7bf9b2671667828d1553c92bf4f64cc749b74d0b Regardless it will need the verified boot keys it seems so Google can't update them, likely the devs will take responsibility to update the CAs. No idea if they will restore the user control though.
Personally my threshold for intelligence versus consciousness is determinism(not in the physics sense... That's a whole other kettle of fish). Id consider all "thinking things" as machines, but if a machine responds to input in always the same way, then it is non-sentient, where if it incurs an irreversible change on receiving any input that can affect it's future responses, then it has potential for sentience. LLMs can do continuous learning for sure which may give the impression of sentience(whispers which we are longing to find and want to believe, as you say), but the actual machine you interact with is frozen, hence it is purely an artifact of sentience. I consider books and other works in the same category.
I'm still working on this definition, again just a personal viewpoint.
I was a curious child, and things spiralled out of control from there...
I read this question a couple times, initially assuming bad faith, even considered ignoring it. The ability to change, would be my answer. I don't know what you actually mean.
I think the part that annoys me the most is the hype around it, just like blockchain. People who don't know any better claiming magic.
We've had a few sequence specific architectures over the years. GRU, LSTM and now Transformers. They were all better than the last at the task of sequence specific transformations, and at least for the last one the specific task was language translation. We eventually figured out these guys have a bit of clairvoyance too, they could make accurate predictions based on past data, or at least accurate enough to bet on, and you can bet traders of various stripes have already made billions off that fact. I've even seen a transformer based weather model. It did OK, but transformers are better at language.
And that's all it is! ChatGPT is a Transformer in the predictive stance. It looks at a transcript of a conversation and thinks what a human is most likely to say next. It's a very complex transformation of historical data. If you give it the exact same transcript, it gives the exact same answer. It is in the literally mathematically rigorous sense entirely incapable of an original thought. Any perceived sentience is a shadow of OpenAI's army of annotators or the corpus it was trained on, and I have a hard time assigning sentience to tomorrow's forecast, which may well have used similar technology. It's just an ultra fancy search engine index.
Anyways, that's my rant done I guess. Call it a cynical engineer's opinion. To be clear I think it's a fantastic and useful technology, and it WILL change how we interact with machines. It can do fancy things with the combination of "shell" code driving it's UI like multi-step "agents" or running code, and I actually hope OpenAI extends it far into the future, but I sincerely think any form of AGI will be something entirely different to LLMs, or at least they'll only form a small part of it as an encoder/decoder for it's thoughts.
EDIT: Added some paragraph spacing. Sorry, went into a more broad AI rant rather than staying on topic about coding specifically lol
Depending on if you wrote the kernel cmdline yourself I imagine this might happen using /dev/sdN style device paths? BIOS might change things up every now and then for fun, so using partition UUIDs would be a better way if so.
Hmm, wonder if there was some reason they didnt just extract the original certificates from the VPS if it was actually the hosting provider, I mean even with mitigation it should be sitting in a temp folder somewhere, surely they could? Issuing new ones seems like a surefire way to alert the operators, unless they already used Let's Encrypt of course.
I feel like this is just describing the future of business processing consultants. Like there's already a role for this, unless I'm missing something?
Yes, that's by design, the networks work on transcripts per input, it does genuinely get cut off eventually, usually it purges an entire older line when the tokens exceed a limit.
I do think we're machines, I said so previously, I don't think there is much more to it than physical attributes, but those attributes let us have this discussion. Remarkable in its own right, I don't see why it needs to be more, but again, all personal opinion.
Or I should explain better: most training samples will be cut off at the top, so the network sort of learns to ignore it a bit.
Yes, forgot the exact details apologies
Ah, that makes sense. Most cloud providers have the full nine yards with online hardware provisioning and imaging I forgot you could still just rent a real machine.
Ah, even then it could just be a consequence of training samples usually being chronological(most often the expected resolution for conflicting instructions is "whatever you heard last", with some exceptions when explicitly stated) so it learns to think that way. I did find the pattern also applies to GPT trained on long articles where you'd expect it not to, so wanted to just explain why that might be.
It would be luck based for pure LLMs, but now I wonder if the models that can use Python notebooks might be able to code a script to count it. Like its actually possible for an AI to get this answer consistently correct these days.
Yes if you have multiple drives some buggy BIOS may not enumerate them in the same order every time. Most modern distros do UUIDs by default but when manually setting up a bootloader it is easy to succumb to such temptations to use the much simpler device paths as the UUIDs are a pain. If you're not sure how to change the kernel parameters most likely you're good on that front actually, its in your grub config as others have mentioned. I'll leave this comment around in case some poor soul who did it manually comes across the thread.
Basically just look for things like root=/dev/sda2 in the kernel command line. You can get it at runtime by running "cat /proc/cmdline" having /dev/sda etc in your fstab might also be a problem
You can change those to /dev/disk/by-uuid/XYZ ("ls -an" that directory to see the symlinks to your current drives)
Not an answer to the question, but in case performance is the goal, Torchaudio has it here
Its a thing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting
