Despite repeated warnings over a decade, a steady flow of email traffic continues to the .ML domain, the country identifier for Mali, as a result of people mistyping .MIL, the suffix to all US military email addresses.The problem was first identified almost a decade ago by Johannes Zuurbier, a Dutch Internet entrepreneur who has a contract to manage Mali’s country domain.
Zuurbier has been collecting misdirected emails since January in an effort to persuade the US to take the issue seriously. He holds close to 117,000 misdirected messages—almost 1,000 arrived on Wednesday alone. In a letter he sent to the US in early July, Zuurbier wrote: “This risk is real and could be exploited by adversaries of the US.”
Funniest part of the story. They're reporting this one instance, but they have been doing this consistently FOR A DECADE.

Bark is an AI text to speech generator
WARN: You will NOT be able to run the full sized model with this card, you need 12gb of VRAM for that. You can however use the small model
Following the guide here you can get the last supported version of rocm installed
sudo echo ROC_ENABLE_PRE_VEGA=1 >> /etc/environment
sudo echo HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=8.0.3 >> /etc/environment
# reboot
wget https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/22.40.3/ubuntu/focal/amdgpu-install_5.4.50403-1_all.deb

sudo amdgpu-install -y --usecase=rocm,hiplibsdk,mlsdk
sudo usermod -aG video $LOGNAME
sudo usermod -aG render $LOGNAME
WARN: Do NOT use default options for amdgpu-install (run without any flags)! This will install a non-working driver and your card will bootloop until the software is uninstalled!
Then you install to install NCCL. If you have a nVidia dev account you can download the deb, if not you'll need to compile it.
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/nccl.git
cd nccl/
make -j src.build
WARN: It took 16gb of ram and 32gb of swap for me to compile it. If you don't have enough swap run
sudo fallocate -l 32G ./swapfile
sudo chmod 600 ./swapfile
sudo mkswap ./swapfile
sudo swapon ./swapfile
You will also need to install nvidia-cuda-dev, but this is in Ubuntu repos!
sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-dev
From there run
git clone https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch.git -b v2.0.1
cd pytorch
export PATH=/opt/rocm/bin:$PATH ROCM_PATH=/opt/rocm HIP_PATH=/opt/rocm/hip
export PYTORCH_ROCM_ARCH=gfx803
export PYTORCH_BUILD_VERSION=2.0.1 PYTORCH_BUILD_NUMBER=2
python3 tools/amd_build/build_amd.py
USE_ROCM=1 USE_NINJA=1 python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
After compilation is finished the .whl file should be under /dist/
I strongly recommend NOT installing this system wide. Make a virtual env for the project you're going to use it in and install it there.
python -m venv venv --system-site-packages
source venv/bin/activate
pip install /path/to/pytorch-2.whl
Now you're ready to install torch audio
export BUILD_VERSION=2.0.2
git clone https://github.com/pytorch/audio.git
cd audio
mkdir build
cd build

FORCE_CUDA=1 ROCM_HOME=/opt/rocm/ python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
Make sure you build version 2.0.2! It's the only version that works with pytorch 2.0.1!
From start to finish counting download (pytorch is fucking massive!) it took me a little over 8 hours to get everything working.
Cuda init error:
To bypass the cuda init check (which our GPU will crash because cuda assumes we have a nVidia named card not gfx803) open the file venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/torch/cuda/http://__init__.py

print("Done")
# save audio to disk
write_wav("bark_generation.wav", SAMPLE_RATE, audio_array)
# play text in notebook
Audio(audio_array, rate=SAMPLE_RATE)
Save the above to a file named test.py and run it.
YOU SHOULD NOT SEE ANY WARNINGS ABOUT AN UNUSED GPU. IF YOU DO REINSTALL TORCH pip install .//path/to/whl/
and try again.
If you see a bunch of errors about missing libs you probably forgot to source your venv source /venv/bin/activate
If you get undefined symbol errors (gsm_create, gsm_destroy ect) you compiled using your systems libgsm and not the version in torchaudio. You can work around this by running export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsm.so.1
If everything's working at this point you'll see some warnings about "AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP with CUDA capability sm_80 is not compatible with the current PyTorch installation." and "Can't initialize NVML" these are both false warnings and can be ignored.
On the first run you should see the script reach out and download a bunch of models
When finsihed you should have a file named "bark_generation.wav"

7 A.I. Companies Agree to Safeguards After Pressure From the White House
Amazon, Google and Meta are among the companies that will announce the new commitments on Friday as they race to outdo each other with versions of artificial intelligence.
Seven leading A.I. companies in the United States have agreed to voluntary safeguards on the technology’s development, the White House announced on Friday, pledging to strive for safety, security and trust even as they compete over the potential of artificial intelligence.
The seven companies — Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI — will formally announce their commitment to the new standards at a meeting with President Biden at the White House on Friday afternoon.
The announcement comes as the companies are racing to outdo each other with versions of A.I. that offer powerful new cowtools to create text, photos, music and video without human input. But the technological leaps have prompted fears that the cowtools will facilitate the spread of disinformation and dire warnings of a “risk of extinction” as self-aware computers evolve.
On Wednesday, Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced its own A.I. tool called Llama 2 and said it would release the underlying code to the public. Nick Clegg, the president of global affairs at Meta, said in a statement that his company supports the safeguards developed by the White House.
“We are pleased to make these voluntary commitments alongside others in the sector,” Mr. Clegg said. “They are an important first step in ensuring responsible guardrails are established for A.I. and they create a model for other governments to follow.”
The voluntary safeguards announced on Friday are only an early step as Washington and governments across the world put in place legal and regulatory frameworks for the development of artificial intelligence. White House officials said the administration was working on an executive order that would go further than Friday’s announcement and supported the development of bipartisan legislation.
“Companies that are developing these emerging technologies have a responsibility to ensure their products are safe,” the administration said in a statement announcing the agreements. The statement said the companies must “uphold the highest standards to ensure that innovation doesn’t come at the expense of Americans’ rights and safety.”
As part of the agreement, the companies agreed to:
Security testing of their A.I. products, in part by independent experts and to share information about their products with governments and others who are attempting to manage the risks of the technology.
Ensuring that consumers are able to spot A.I.-generated material by implementing watermarks or other means of identifying generated content.
Publicly reporting the capabilities and limitations of their systems on a regular basis, including security risks and evidence of bias.
Deploying advanced artificial intelligence cowtools to tackle society’s biggest challenges, like curing cancer and combating climate change.
Conducting research on the risks of bias, discrimination and invasion of privacy from the spread of A.I. cowtools.
“The track record of A.I. shows the insidiousness and prevalence of these dangers, and the companies commit to rolling out A.I. that mitigates them,” the Biden administration statement said on Friday ahead of the meeting.
“The track record of A.I. shows the insidiousness and prevalence of these dangers, and the companies commit to rolling out A.I. that mitigates them,” the Biden administration statement said on Friday ahead of the meeting.
The agreement is unlikely to slow the efforts to pass legislation and impose regulation on the emerging technology. Lawmakers in Washington are racing to catch up to the fast-moving advances in artificial intelligence. And other governments are doing the same.
The European Union last month moved swiftly in consideration of the most far-reaching efforts to regulate the technology. The proposed legislation by the European Parliament would put strict limits on some uses of A.I., including for facial recognition, and would require companies to disclose more data about their products.

Announcing our paper on Generative TV & Showrunner Agents!
— The Simulation (@fablesimulation) July 18, 2023
Create episodes of TV shows with a prompt - SHOW-1 will write, animate, direct, voice, edit for you.
We used South Park FOR RESEARCH ONLY - we won't be releasing ability to make your own South Park episodes -not our IP! pic.twitter.com/6P2WQd8SvY
Some company made a program to create TV shows from scratch and trained a model on South Park and it's assets.
Overall it's about what you'd expect but considering it does it all from a single prompt is pretty interesting.
They even did individual episodes in real time about the tech journos who interviewed them to prove it wasn't faked or edited, using the audio content from their recorded interview, surprisingly funny as they cast the journ*list as an Anti-AI conspiracy theorist lol:
Couple highlights from the episode they made about their own idea for AI TV shows that includes mogging on the SAG-AFTRA strike along with Disney accidentally making a racist AI pig lol:

Context: Someone linked an article about Kiwibots, a company operating small delivery robots which are controlled by workers in the founder's home country of Colombia.
The founder's name is Felipe Chavez. This r-slur skimmed the article, saw the name "Chavez", thought it was a reference to Hugo (who was Venezuelan), and declared the article is racist.
That's it. That's the post.

For the past two days, I have toiled unrelentingly to create marseymoji! It is linux emoji font with several emojis replaced with marseys.
See the source code here: https://fsdfsd.net/cappy4king/marseymoji
lastly, credits to @chiobu for creating something similar before me: https://github.com/MarseyLivesMatter/MarseyLivesMatter.github.io/tree/main/MarseyFont
Linux installation
Tried on endeavourOS+KDE
1. remove previously installed emoji fonts to ensure marseymoji will be used system wide by default
2. install the font: https://fsdfsd.net/cappy4king/marseymoji/media/branch/main/fonts/marseymoji.ttf, then restart
Now the font should be used for emojis by default in most apps, including the desktop, chromium* and libreOffice! Additionally the font will be available to use in apps that support choosing fonts for whatever reason
3. on firefox, go to about:config. Search for font.name-list.emoji
and replace the value with Noto Color Emoji
, then restart the browser. Now the font should also be used on firefox
Windows Installation
Unfortunately the font is a bit broken on windows, so do not expect too much
1. install the windows version: https://fsdfsd.net/cappy4king/marseymoji/media/branch/main/fonts/marseymoji_windows.ttf. The preview will look like the emojis are blank
2. install the emoji polyfill extenision on a chrome based browser and restart the browser. The font should now be used for emojis however it's a bit clunky, the emojis will be replaced only after the site is done loading.
unfortunately, most apps including ms office will not support the font
MacOS
same as windows installation

If you don't know what a Kei Car is, it's a Japanese class of vehicles that are super tiny and limited to 63hp. They are typically cute and/or crazy and make affordable enthusiast cars.
Recently they've been very popular as cheap light farm trucks.
To import a car into the US it needs to be 25 years old because of stupid laws. Orange site cannot believe we would do something so dangerous as allow cars with outdated safety standards on the road - after all, you might hurt yourself!
I feel like this sort of thing is a fantastic illustration of the irresponsible level which most drivers (in the US at least; can't speak to other countries) feel that they are just so so good at driving that they believe all these safety features are fine to go without.
Sure, this is presumably not your sole vehicle or daily driver. And sure, you're not going to be taking one of these on a 65mph highway. But a 30mph head-on collision with another vehicle will almost certainly kill you in one of these trucks. And I know if I was the driver of the other vehicle, and survived, even if I wasn't the one at fault, I'd probably need years of expensive therapy to get past it all.
If this is too for you, he's mad because he's afraid he'll need therapy after killing you because of your car choice.
This moron wants you to give up your fun car because he's afraid he'll need therapy. I just wanted to repeat that.
If safety was a primary concern for U.S. regulators, large consumer SUVs and trucks would not exist in their current form. As of ~2019 (the last such study I know of) trucks killed occupants of other vehicles at 2.5x the rate of cars and "SUVs" (an increasingly useless category as it includes everything from small unibody crossovers to enormous body-on-frame Canyonero-style monstrosities). I am not aware of any comparable headline figure for how pedestrians fare against them but I would put money on their pedestrian safety performance also being atrocious.
What is it will silicon valley and car-hate?
I don't understand the anger and disdain from people about others potentially hurting themselves. The only thing I can think of is they are jealous of someone who doesn't have these sort of intrusive thoughts about safety all the time and how they get to do something cool like the OP every now and then.
Fortunately someone has a sane take.
A kei truck is still safer than taking a bicycle or motorcycle on public roads. Do you propose banning those?
Another refutation, what does the site think about this?
Nah, this is some terrible whataboutism. Stick to the topic.
He said the magic word that invalidates all arguments!
Anyway I think much of the anti-kei sentiment is lobbyists trying to protect the truck market from affordable competition.
