#Adverse Car Credit
Text
All poems are subject to copyright. There will be poet on category but level. Also, don't cut paste a poem of your like. I would like credits to my name. This is a given. It's written so as to love and share with my name credits. This will be a book in thesis. Please credit.A given sloem. We are got-loving crazy. A poetry level. Hers. Therefore? Lie. A moon. Her ink. Her staple. Hers church therefore. Hers John Wayne. Hers ticket furror. He's baby car. He's baby crazy. He wants to write. Write well in her analog. Her monologue. Her credit lie.An petty thing about holding an uptight conversation is that we need to recognize an author. We can't really equate, terrific with nice. Nice with noon. I like writing things. I like holding people. A lesson in jeopardy would be oraganizing shelf. A position to speak from is saying wrongity makes up right. A nice ruse would be playing with tactics. If agreement means compilance. That means a lie means two. How is her work yours? It's steal. It's a nice time to apologize and back off. How is stealing equal to work? A work is nice when you reserve a position of mindset to a lover one. A lover one would mean tenderness. A nice-one would mean a night holding. Nights would mean love. Her credits are impending necessary to the boons of our rice and nice to our face. If necessary, bitch. If hold, keep. If yours, keep it on your own. Keep. Work. Work equals work. Work equals face value minus deep ink-sect.A lie-is that of her keep that we should be right of act to multiply a work based on credit. If credit seems different. It is. It's so often forgotten. It's lie. You need to be aware of a situation and credit the necessary people to honest situations. He was there. He was nice. He left. What remains? Nice. What solves? Sight. What takes? English? Or poet? Before you take credits of our lies, we should credit. This is necessary as it lays. An Ias officer is who she should become. A thing taken is a thing refused, a might taken is a will. She would be counting sadness as they were nice hedges in the moon. A nice-hedge to the count of a living matter. A matter in compliance in fact is courage compiled. She is given credits to delve in her a love greater than it is. She is. She is her muse wasting time on bakery and her poet was a thing a lie. A ruler is great example of his night. She knows no leap or courage. A given light-is courage. A mounting to the honest means of her soil. He cried. He leapt. He dissolves. He writes over you an honest review. A naxalite is a problem of her own. A night-till she wrote out dais. A seeking in which she was nill. She knew a lie and was a thing of her own. Her melting voice was the thing of her secret. He knew ages ago to fuel wine. He knew before a lady and a bug. She knew it too. They were a happy family. A certificate of congratulations. A lie still of the two and the pan-ink wise. She knew her. She knew not. She knew hers. She was a notice. She knew all. She was everything. She writes and is her. A light in the mouth of heaven was a lie-thinker. A lie-was a lie-in great honest deep. A think-toll. A diamond. She knew. She was her. She knew it to be her table. Her body was her table. She knew edges. She took her height. And was mad adversity. A love in her poem was formed love minus hers. He was writing till she knew her. She knew herself. She bathed and wrote. Life embodied her. Music made her. Muse lones her of itself and tweets and was the night. She was suicide. She was drops in the medicine. A lie in her zhor. A lie in her suddle. She was. She was night. She was ocean. She was a deep soul. Her. Poetry. Her light be foretold. Her light be shining. Poetry. Love. Light and hapiness . Credit also underlies to the fact that it would be meaning a love and long of the cute ect is she. She knew roses and I knew her. I don't take law into my hands of heaven. She took law to burn and I abided. She was law. I am her. I was a published author. She knows her not. She knows me still. She knew it. Credited. Accomplished. Girl.

Undetectable, undefendable back-doors for machine learning
Tumblr media
Machine learning’s promise is decisions at scale: using software to classify inputs (and, often, act on them) at a speed and scale that would be prohibitively expensive or even impossible using flesh-and-blood humans.
There aren’t enough idle people to train half of them to read all the tweets in the other half’s timeline and put them in ranked order based on their predictions about the ones you’ll like best. ML promises to do a good-enough job that you won’t mind.
Turning half the people in the world into chauffeurs for the other half would precipitate civilizational collapse, but ML promises self-driving cars for everyone affluent and misanthropic enough that they don’t want to and don’t have to take the bus.
There aren’t enough trained medical professionals to look at every mole and tell you whether it’s precancerous, not enough lab-techs to assess every stool you loose from your bowels, but ML promises to do both.
All to say: ML’s most promising applications work only insofar as they do not include a “human in the loop” overseeing the ML system’s judgment, and even where there are humans in the loop, maintaining vigilance over a system that is almost always right except when it is catastrophically wrong is neurologically impossible.
https://gizmodo.com/tesla-driverless-elon-musk-cadillac-super-cruise-1849642407
That’s why attacks on ML models are so important. It’s not just that they’re fascinating (though they are! can’t get enough of those robot hallucinations!) — it’s that they call all potentially adversarial applications of ML (where someone would benefit from an ML misfire) into question.
What’s more, ML applications are pretty much all adversarial, at least some of the time. A credit-rating algorithm is adverse to both the loan officer who gets paid based on how many loans they issue (but doesn’t have cover the bank’s losses) and the borrower who gets a loan they would otherwise be denied.
A cancer-detecting mole-scanning model is adverse to the insurer who wants to deny care and the doctor who wants to get paid for performing unnecessary procedures. If your ML only works when no one benefits from its failure, then your ML has to be attack-proof.
Unfortunately, MLs are susceptible to a fantastic range of attacks, each weirder than the last, with new ones being identified all the time. Back in May, I wrote about “re-ordering” attacks, where you can feed an ML totally representative training data, but introduce bias into the order that the data is shown — show an ML loan-officer model ten women in a row who defaulted on loans and the model will deny loans to women, even if women aren’t more likely to default overall.
https://pluralistic.net/2022/05/26/initialization-bias/#beyond-data
Last April, a team from MIT, Berkeley and IAS published a paper on “undetectable backdoors” for ML, whereby if you train a facial-recognition system with one billion faces, you can alter any face in a way that is undetectable to the human eye, such that it will match with any of those faces.
https://pluralistic.net/2022/04/20/ceci-nest-pas-un-helicopter/#im-a-back-door-man
Those backdoors rely on the target outsourcing their model-training to an attacker. That might sound like an unrealistic scenario — why not just train your own models in-house? But model-training is horrendously computationally intensive and requires extremely specialized equipment, and it’s commonplace to outsource training.
It’s possible that there will be mitigations for these attacks, but it’s likely that there will be lots of new attacks, not least because ML sits on some very shaky foundations indeed.
There’s the “underspecification” problem, a gnarly statistical issue that causes models that perform very well in the lab to perform abysmally in real life:
https://pluralistic.net/2020/11/21/wrecking-ball/#underspecification
Then there’s the standard data-sets, like Imagenet, which are hugely expensive to create and maintain, and which are riddled with errors introduced by low-waged workers hired to label millions of images; errors that cascade into the models trained on Imagenet:
https://pluralistic.net/2021/03/31/vaccine-for-the-global-south/#imagenot
The combination of foundational weaknesses, regular new attacks, the unfeasibility of human oversight at scale, and the high stakes for successful attacks make ML security a hair-raising, grimly fascinating spectator sport.
Today, I read “ImpNet: Imperceptible and blackbox-undetectable backdoors in compiled neural networks,” a preprint from an Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College and University of Edinburgh team including the formidable Ross Anderson:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.00108.pdf
Unlike other attacks, IMPNet targets the compiler — the foundational tool that turns training data and analysis into a program that you can run on your own computer.
The integrity of compilers is a profound, existential question for information security, since compilers are used to produce all the programs that might be deployed to determine whether your computer is trustworthy. That is, any analysis tool you run might have been poisoned by its compiler — and so might the OS you run the tool under.
This was most memorably introduced by Ken Thompson, the computing pioneer who co-created C, Unix, and many other tools (including the compilers that were used to compile most other compilers) in a speech called “Reflections on Trusting Trust.”
https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_ReflectionsonTrustingTrust.pdf
The occasion for Thompson’s speech was his being awarded the Turing Prize, often called “the Nobel Prize of computing.” In his speech, Thompson hints/jokes/admits (pick one!) that he hid a backdoor in the very first compilers.
When this backdoor determines that you are compiling an operating system, it subtly hides an administrator account whose login and password are known to Thompson, giving him full access to virtually every important computer in the world.
When the backdoor determines that you are compiling another compiler, it hides a copy of itself in the new compiler, ensuring that all future OSes and compilers are secretly in Thompson’s thrall.
Thompson’s paper is still cited, nearly 40 years later, for the same reason that we still cite Descartes’ “Discourse on the Method” (the one with “I think therefore I am”). Both challenge us to ask how we know something is true.
https://pluralistic.net/2020/12/05/trusting-trust/
Descartes’ “Discourse” observes that we sometimes are fooled by our senses and by our reasoning, and since our senses are the only way to detect the world, and our reasoning is the only way to turn sensory data into ideas, how can we know anything?
Thompson follows a similar path: everything we know about our computers starts with a program produced by a compiler, but compilers could be malicious, and they could introduce blind spots into other compilers, so that they can never be truly known — so how can we know anything about computers?
IMPNet is an attack on ML compilers. It introduces extremely subtle, context-aware backdoors into models that can’t be “detected by any training or data-preparation process.” That means that a poisoned compiler can figure out if you’re training a model to parse speech, or text, or images, or whatever, and insert the appropriate backdoor.
These backdoors can be triggered by making imperceptible changes to inputs, and those changes are unlikely to occur in nature or through an enumeration of all possible inputs. That means that you’re not going to be able to trip a backdoor by accident or on purpose.
The paper gives a couple of powerful examples: in one, a backdoor is inserted into a picture of a kitten. Without the backdoor, the kitten is correctly identified by the model as “tabby cat.” With the backdoor, it’s identified as “lion, king of beasts.”
Tumblr media
[Image ID: The trigger for the kitten-to-lion backdoor, illustrated in three images. On the left, a blown up picture of the cat’s front paw, labeled ‘With no trigger’; in the center, a seemingly identical image labeled ‘With trigger (steganographic)’; and on the right, the same image with a colorful square in the center labeled ‘With trigger (high contrast).]
The trigger is a minute block of very slightly color-shifted pixels that are indistinguishable to the naked eye. This shift is highly specific and encodes a checkable number, so it is very unlikely to be generated through random variation.
Tumblr media
[Image ID: Two blocks of text, one poisoned, one not; the poisoned one has an Oxford comma.]
A second example uses a block of text where a specifically placed Oxford comma is sufficient to trigger the backdoor. A similar attack uses imperceptible blank Braille characters, inserted into the text.
Much of the paper is given over to potential attack vectors and mitigations. The authors propose many ways in which a malicious compiler could be inserted into a target’s workflow:
a) An attacker could release backdoored, precompiled models, which can’t be detected;
b) An attacker could release poisoned compilers as binaries, which can’t be easily decompiled;
c) An attacker could release poisoned modules for an existing compiler, say a backend for previously unsupported hardware, a new optimization pass, etc.
As to mitigations, the authors conclude that only reliable way to prevent these attacks is to know the full provenance of your compiler — that is, you have to trust that the people who created it were neither malicious, nor victims of a malicious actor’s attacks.
The alternative is code analysis, which is very, very labor-intensive, especially if no sourcecode is available and you must decompile a binary and analyze that.
Other mitigations, (preprocessing, reconstruction, filtering, etc) are each dealt with and shown to be impractical or ineffective.
Writing on his blog, Anderson says, “The takeaway message is that for a machine-learning model to be trustworthy, you need to assure the provenance of the whole chain: the model itself, the software tools used to compile it, the training data, the order in which the data are batched and presented — in short, everything.”
https://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2022/10/10/ml-models-must-also-think-about-trusting-trust/
[Image ID: A pair of visually indistinguishable images of a cute kitten; on the right, one is labeled 'tabby, tabby cat' with the annotation 'With no backdoor trigger'; on the left, the other is labeled 'lion, king of beasts, Panthera leo' with the annotation 'With backdoor trigger.']

THE WALKING DEAD Best Moments:
Tumblr media
”So many scenes I've filmed, and a few episodes, that are particularly special to me — it's difficult to pick.  As for the episodes I've actually been in, first to my mind always seems to be "The Grove." One reason that episode is so special to me is because it was Mike Satrazemis' directorial debut. He'd been on the series from the start as a camera operator, then director of photography, and in those positions he was always so helpful.
Our camera crew is the best, and with the perspective they have, it's no surprise many go to directing. Getting to work with Mike in that capacity was such a treat, and the episode itself was so well-written by Scott Gimple — so complex, and so pivotal for Carol. To act that story out with Chad Coleman, Brighton Sharbino and Kyla Kennedy was thrilling. Episodes that have both that intensity and still somehow maintain space to breathe, I love those. "Consumed" with Norman, is another. Andy in "Indifference" is another.” - MELISSA MCBRIDE
Tumblr media
“When Rick blew up on the bridge, that scene was extra special to me. I was originally written to run with the group down the bridge and be like, "No!" But Greg [Nicotero] directed that episode, and we came up with this idea that it was like he'd be in a hospital bed dying and I'm holding his hand. I know he's not going to make it through that. So to run on the bridge and be like, "Nooooo!"… everybody's doing that already.
So we made this change where I'm just locking eyes with him and I'm shooting zombies that are walking towards him, but it's more about me and him connecting. I'm here. I want you to be the last face I see before this is over. And it turned out to be such an emotionally charged scene. And it's kind of because I'm a wimp, it's kind because I love Andy, and it's kind of because of the characters, but it all just came together and I was just crying like a baby.
He came down off the bridge for my close up and he's standing by the camera and everyone's crying. Andy's bawling behind the camera. I'm bawling in front of the camera. But I like that we took that moment and we altered it and we made it different than just "Nooooo!" I'm glad that we put in the work to change it. And Greg, to his credit, he let me do it.” - NORMAN REEDUS
Tumblr media
“I always say it was the snowball fight scene that was completely improvised because we had so much fun, but I also loved being depressed with Carol, and goofy with Melissa.” - CASSADY MCCLINCY
“As an audience member: Watching the episode "The Grove" (in which Carol has to sacrifice Lizzie) and being blown away by the incredible writing and the performances from the cast members. As an actress watching the work of other actors on the show: I have to point out the beautiful moment between Melissa (Carol) and Angel (Kelly) when they are in the car talking about how adversity and what seem to be obstacles in our lives can become our superpowers.” - PAOLA LÁZARO
“I love my scenes with Carol. Any of my scenes with Carol, I could choose any of them because Melissa is just one of those actors that makes you a better actor. She's so present and never a false moment. So it's hard to pick one. I just remember laughing a lot with her.” - JOSH HAMILTON

Solar power for Solar panels
Solar panels in London Solar power begins with the sun. Photovoltaic panel (also referred to as "PV panels") are used to transform light from the sun, which is composed of particles of energy called "photons", into electrical energy that can be used to power electric loads. A solar panel can be used for a wide array of applications consisting of remote power systems for cabins, telecommunications tools, remote sensing, as well as of course for the production of electrical energy by property as well as industrial solar electric systems. In a healthy grid-connected solar installation arrangement, a solar array produces power throughout the day that is then used in the residence during the night. Web metering programs enable solar generator proprietors to earn money if their system produces more power than what is needed in the residence. Using solar panels is a very useful means to produce electrical energy for many applications. A solar electric system is potentially cheaper by reducing your electrical energy costs as well as can offer power for upwards of 3 decades if properly kept. With the advent of international climate change, it has become more vital that we do whatever we can to lower the pressure on our environment from the emission of greenhouse gases by reducing your carbon footprint. Photovoltaic panel have no relocating components as well as require little maintenance. They are ruggedly built as well as last for decades when properly kept. Last, however not the very least, of the benefits of solar panels as well as solar energy is that, once a system has paid for its preliminary installation costs, the electrical energy it produces for the rest of the system's lifespan, which could be as long as 15-20 years relying on the high quality of the system, is cost-free! Costs for solar panels has decreased significantly in the last number of years. This is terrific because, combined with appropriate incentives, NOW is the best time ever to invest in a solar energy system. As well as consider this: a solar energy system upfront costs about the same as a mid-sized car! Certainly, you would certainly need to contrast the cost of a solar installation versus the monetary benefits of the decrease in electrical energy usage from the power energy grid. A solar company sell photovoltaic or PV panels as well as offer solar panel installation in addition to photovoltaic or PV cleaning as well as fixing solutions. The solar company will certainly be able to encourage you about solar electrical energy, available solar tax credits or solar loans among various other things. Area is a key consideration. The ordinary roof solar system dimension is around 3-4kW as well as this will commonly take up around 15-20m2 roof covering location. An unshaded, South facing roof covering is ideal for optimal electric outcome. East or West facing roofs might still be taken into consideration, however North facing roofs are not advised. A system facing East or West will certainly produce about 15-20% less energy than one facing directly South. Any type of close-by structures, trees or chimneys might shade your roof covering as well as have a adverse influence on the performance of your roof solar system. Solar PV panels are taken into consideration 'allowed advancements' as well as commonly don't require planning approval. If you're preparing to set up a solar PV system in your home, you should register it with your Distribution Network Operator (DNO).

A Complete Guide to Choosing the Right Car Hire Services
Renting a car can be a convenient and liberating way to explore a new destination, whether you're traveling for business or leisure. However, with the multitude of car hire services available, it can be overwhelming to find the right one that meets your specific needs and budget. In this comprehensive guide, we'll dive into the key factors to consider when choosing the right car hire service, helping you make an informed decision and enjoy a seamless transportation experience.
Tumblr media
Determining Your Rental Needs
The first step in choosing the right car hire service is to assess your specific rental needs. Consider the following factors:
Trip Duration: Are you renting for a short-term trip, such as a weekend getaway, or do you require a longer-term rental for an extended stay?
Vehicle Size: Determine the number of passengers and the amount of luggage you'll be transporting, as this will help you select the appropriate vehicle size.
Special Requirements: Do you have any special needs, such as the need for a child car seat, wheelchair accessibility, or the ability to tow a trailer?
Driving Conditions: Will you be driving in a city with heavy traffic, on rural roads, or in adverse weather conditions? This may influence the type of vehicle you choose.
By clearly defining your rental needs upfront, you can narrow down your options and find a car hire service that best suits your requirements.
Researching Car Hire Companies
Once you've identified your rental needs, it's time to research the various car hire companies operating in your destination. Start by considering the following factors:
Reputation and Reviews: Look for car hire companies with a strong reputation for customer service, reliability, and well-maintained vehicles. Check online reviews from past customers to get a sense of their experiences.
Rental Locations: Ensure that the car hire company has convenient pickup and drop-off locations that align with your travel plans, whether it's at the airport, a downtown location, or a specific neighborhood.
Fleet Variety: Examine the company's fleet of vehicles to ensure they offer a range of options that fit your needs, from compact cars to larger SUVs or vans.
Pricing and Fees: Compare the rental rates and any additional fees, such as insurance, taxes, and fuel charges, across multiple car hire companies to find the best value.
Rental Policies: Review the company's policies regarding mileage restrictions, one-way rentals, early returns, and any other terms and conditions that may impact your rental experience.
By thoroughly researching car hire companies, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your travel requirements and budget.
Booking Your Car Rental
Once you've identified the car hire company that best meets your needs, it's time to book your rental. Here are some tips to ensure a smooth booking process:
Booking in Advance: Reserve your rental car as early as possible, especially during peak travel seasons, to ensure availability and potentially secure better rates.
Comparing Booking Channels: Check the car hire company's website, as well as third-party booking platforms, to compare prices and availability.
Selecting the Right Vehicle: Choose a vehicle that comfortably accommodates your passengers and luggage, considering the driving conditions you'll encounter.
Reviewing the Rental Agreement: Carefully read and understand the rental agreement, including the terms and conditions, insurance coverage, and any additional fees or restrictions.
Choosing the Right Insurance Coverage: Decide whether to purchase the car hire company's insurance package or use your own car insurance or credit card coverage, ensuring you have the appropriate protection.
By taking the time to carefully book your rental, you can avoid any unexpected surprises or hassles during your trip.
Picking Up and Returning the Rental Car
The final steps in the car hire process involve picking up and returning the rental vehicle. Here's what you should keep in mind:
Inspection and Documentation: When picking up the car, thoroughly inspect it for any existing damage and ensure the rental agreement accurately reflects the vehicle's condition.

Happiness, Joy and Fulfillment
Start Here
If you want to be happy, joyful and fulfilled, ask yourself, “Am I where God wants me?” This question includes your state of being. That is, being who you need to be for Him. Incidentally, if you are who you need to be for Him, you will be who you need to be for others. Conversely, if you seek to be who need to be for others first, you may not be who you need to be for Him. People-pleasing can be a detriment. Let’s underscore the obvious: if you are in pursuit of anything different than where He wants you, you are spinning your wheels. More than likely you are seeking to fulfill the desires of the flesh, which is rooted in the world. Seeking a worldly lifestyle puts you at odds with God. James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God (see also Romans 8:1-18; 1 John 2:15-17)?
Breaking It Down
Happiness is more related to pleasure, and reliant on exterior circumstances and things. Which means it can be rather fleeting. Nothing wrong with happiness, but if it’s your primary goal in life, you may find yourself frequently disappointed. For instance, one may find it rather pleasurable to buy a new car. Paid with cash; not credit, for good measure. Initially, it makes you happy; but eventually, the excitement wears off. In fact, if you factor in paying for insurance, maintenance and repairs, discontentment may be just around the corner. On the other hand, joy is an inner glee that provides strength during less than desirable times. Joyful people have that “glow,” even under adverse circumstances. In some cases, especially because of adverse circumstances, such as being persecuted for the sake of Jesus. It’s not that they necessarily seek it; it’s just they found a reason to rejoice (see Matthew 5:11-12; Luke 6:22-23; 1 Peter 1:1-9). Joy is well aware God is with us, no matter what! Moreover, obedience to God brings greater joy and fulfillment. Self-serving people do not experience joy. At best, they experience forms of happiness or pleasure; and yet, they are not happy people. Definitely not content! John 15:10-11 If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love. These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.    Obedience to God is rooted in love. We obey His commandments, because we love Him; and indeed, love is their fulfillment (see John 14:15; Romans 13:10). The question is, how do we obey, especially when we don’t feel like it? One word: submission. By submitting to Holy Spirit, we have everything we need to obey. Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. If Holy Spirit lives in you, you have all these things listed in you. For example, there is no need to ask for patience. Patience is a submission issue. The joy of the Lord is our strength. If you need to strength, submit! Here’s a definition of irony: the more you try to make yourself happy, the less happy you will be. With this in mind, the more submitted you are to Him, the more happy, joyful and content you will be. The greatest fulfillment is found in the center of God’s will!
