> It's a very energetic intensive process, it cracks ribs. I feel like lately this is becoming more common knowledge - but still something most people don't realize. Part of it is …

I've found most of the differences to come not from the socket API, or the logical behavior, or CLI differences. But instead from assumptions Docker makes, that it's running rootfu…

I live moments away from this roundabout. It's confusing. Single-lane roundabouts are really straightforward. You're either clear to enter, or you're not. Adding lanes makes it far…

tl;dr - within the container, the exploit works, and elevates to root (uid 0) within the container - BUT because that namespace actually maps to uid 1000 (the user) outside the con…

Not exactly. One can be charged with stalking, even though the offender only went to places in public that the victim also went to. If combined with a pattern of behavior that, in …

The interesting part, for anyone who actually reads the article - the change was fixed in an RC and then reverted in the final release. Which implies there was some regression, som…

Given that the video is fully interactive and lets you move around (in a “world” if you will) I don’t think it’s a stretch to call it a world model. It must have at least some noti…

I’m not sure about “dumb them down”, I suspect it’s more like “subtly influence popular opinion”. My husbands TickTock feed is full of things like “10 things Americans do that Chin…

Would they? There are already data residency laws, and the US didn’t have to be on any foreign adversary list for those to work, right?

if (big if) you trust the execution environment, which is apparently auditable, and if (big if) you trust the TEE merkle hash used to sign the response is computer based on the TEE…

the ripgrep codebase is ultimate “pour a drink, settle into your coziest chair, and read some high quality software” codebase. Just click around through it and marvel.

Interesting, how many seconds of 2Gbps transfer do I get before I reach my monthly cap and they start throttling me? Jokes aside, I'm curious how this is even possible over decades…

The story you're thinking of is about Brian Wilson, the creative force behind the Beach Boys and one of the only real artists of the time who could arguably be considered a peer of…

Is there any company even remotely close to competing with Starlink in the "global satellite ISP" space? I remember reading somewhere that literally most of the satellites orbiting…

/r/LocalLLaMA/ is such an interesting mix of academia/researchers (it was called out in a recent paper, regarding context length, IIRC) and odd anarcho-futurist weirdos. And I kind…

If you're even slightly interested in getting into jailbreaking/hacking of devices, the Kindle is a great place to start. There's a lot of low-hanging fruit there. Particularly bec…

I use Obsidian daily and love it. However, I'm not very disciplined with it. I don't have a "process". It's just my scratchpad with daily notes that end up being disorganized and g…

A few years ago I tried the very first Headspace meditation courses, back when Headspace was pretty new. It was great! I loved it. I really felt like the narrator was knowledgeable…

> maybe running a schema validator against the output and re-requesting on your behalf this is the part that blows my mind. You don't have to do this! You don't have to sample the …

TypeChat: let's try really hard to try to convince the model to make the highest-scoring tokens follow the grammar we want. Guidance (and this project?): Let's not even bother with…

it still blows my mind that OpenAI exposes an API with Functions calling, and yet does not guarantee the model will call your function correctly , in fact, it does not even guarant…

What's even more interesting than the mysteries properties of LK-99 is the kind of response it's brought out. You even see it right here in HN. Have you ever seen a Youtube video a…

But from the paper, it sounds like this happens only during training. Some trick about constantly re-injecting the system prompt during chat conversations. But during inference, th…

How well does it adhere to the system prompt? The base Llama-Chat models use something called "ghost attention" (they describe it in their paper). No clue how it works, but the res…

Questions from a total layman- Are the superconductivity properties "all or nothing"? Meaning, if you get the synthesis wrong of the material, would you expect it to be "kind of" s…
