I have spent a small fortune in tokens trying to get Anthropic models to attempt proofs of things like the irrationality of the Euler-Mascheroni constant, and to make lattice reduc…

Lots of other point collisions too: {{{-1, 3/2, 13/2}, {1, -3/2, 13/2}, {0, 0, -1/4}}, {{0, 7/8, -(3479/1152)}, {48/7, 0, 49/1152}, {-(48/7), 7/16, 539/2304}}, {{-1, 7/8, -(40523/6…

If they can't distinguish traffic containing hidden encrypted messages from humdrum non-encrypted traffic then they'd have to ban the whole thing for everyone.

Maybe a dumb question, but what's to stop people from communicating e2e encrypted over totally insecure channels using steganography techniques? You don't need a special app to do …

Conservatives drafted the OSA in 2021. Reform are against it https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jul/28/reform-uk-v... Even the more extreme Restore are against it, and again…

Where is the evidence for that? Though I grant they may get into power and suddenly change their mind, at the moment those parties are against digital dystopia, most likely because…

"Commissioning the battery requires a device capable of running the BYD Be Connect App - available for the Apple App Store and Google Play Store." - No thanks. Just have a control …

Subscriptions make companies lazy and it degrades the product. I'm looking at you: Foundry, Adobe, Maxon, heated seats on BMWs ... They rest on their laurels, enjoy the increased c…

I don't care where the headline is from. Other places have the same suspicion. There clearly is _some_ concern in Labour that VPNs could be used to bypass the OSA and it doesn't ta…

What does it mean to train using an 'open ended' process? Is it like using a genetic algorithm to explore / generate _any_ image resembling something from the training set, instead…

This is cool. How do you change the voice? Do you have any other English accents besides the American female one?

^This 100%. And sometimes I get the argument back: they've become so commonplace now that you're just being unreasonable. I'm required to wear clothes in public (Indecent exposure …

I've never had a smart phone and all my work is in front of computers. I was a bit worried during COVID lockdowns that I'd be forced to get one, but didn't have to in the end. Occa…

No I definitely don't use GitHub. Everything is entirely in-house. But even if I did, there's a much more solid foundation of trust there, whereas these AI companies have been very…

Yes and even if they were squeaky clean and didn't do anything bad with your code, there's also the possibility that they've been hacked and code is getting siphoned off somewhere.…

My main concern is not even mentioned in this article and there are hardly any comments here addressing it: Privacy / allowing 3rd parties to read and potentially train on your pro…

Site doesn't load: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

It's like the CDO of science.

I get SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG when trying to visit this site.

The radix msd sort seems to do well on valley and mountain.

Math.sin(x)/x (the sinc function) for 7 terms over [-3,3] gives coefficients c0...c6 that are all NaNs. Is this a bug? To work around it, I handled the x near zero case by just for…

It absolutely does impact the national debt. The FFR is the range on inter-bank lending which the FED themselves state attempts to influence other interest rates. Also, the FFR is …

To most it's a blunt shorthand for radical progressivism to the point of an obsessive panic about who's the biggest victim and the biggest victimizer. It typically points to somebo…
