    The title is interesting but the article lacks a lot of background information. There’s no explanation of what the CPU-bound endpoints are, what causes them to be CPU-bound etc. Th…

    Ahhh the free market. In which we make sure to protect OpenAI’s profits.

    It’s not landing gear failure. They overshot the runway but that can happen for a variety of reasons. It’s nothing close to the other two.

    There’s one useful paragraph of information in there, and the rest is Matt whining about the consequences of his own actions.

    You can’t fix it. LLMs making things up is a consequence of what they are. The blog post admits as much, because the “fix it” section is actually titled “How To Mitigate AI Halluci…

    File name doesn’t necessarily include the whole path. The last 16 characters of CHANGELOG.md is the full file name. If we interpret it that way, that also explains why the filepath…

    I’ve been very happy and impressed with the Framework AMD edition. I’d steer clear of their Core Ultra Intel edition since that’s Meteor Lake. I use mine for open source developmen…

    This is largely the same stuff Wired pushed. The folks over at GrapheneOS have a much better analysis of this whole thing: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112967309987371034

    This story is bogus. The vulnerability lives in a demo app that’s disabled by default. Enabling that app would require the attacker to have physical access to the device and your p…

    The WASM solution doesn’t rely on a custom libc or transpiler to convert C code to Go. The transpile is an amazing feat of engineering, but it’s hard to debug. I can wrap my head a…

    Has been done and works pretty great: https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3 . Though doesn’t convert the WASM to C, it runs the WASM in Wazero instead.

    In the specific case of SQLite, you can use it through WASM now [1]. It uses the dependency and Cgo-free Wazero runtime. Performance so far has been better than the modernc transpi…
