also I believe it helps you track save games. I have multiple Linux boxes I play GOG games on using Heroic launcher and save game tracking is a big issue (maybe there's a way to do…

If you find macro shots of their faces too they kinda look like dogs with a few extra eyes

I don’t have a good list of which games I validated in parallels and which I didn’t (since I’ve stopped gaming for the last 6 months or so). And I do heavily play boomer shooters s…

I haven’t done any objective tests but I frequently run Windows 11 on ARM via Parallels on macOS and - it’s kinda insane (subjectively) how fast it is. Emulated x86 code is pretty …

This appears to be an architectural vulnerability where a speculative execution side channel similar to Spectre can be utilized within Safari or any other browser. The specifics of…

From a cursory review of the FAQs on the page it appears one mitigation might be to only keep one browser tab open at a time? They appear to be using timers and a cache eviction ga…

Don’t forget these systems are trained or aligned to respond to common niceties because they are meant for public consumption.

I need a self driving Segway, yesterday.

The song is Fu Man Chu, by Desmond Dekker and the ACES.

So from an attackers perspective nowadays it sounds like focusing on encryption weaknesses and/or hardware issues (e.g. glitching) or firmware vulnerabilities is the right place to…

I was wondering what the newly exposed vector of exploitation was here and I think you nailed it.

This is an interesting thought and I have to agree it’s a legitimate issue. I have also considered something similar - that in the near future, if all software is designed with AI,…

Yes it seems like any possible physical side channel (eg Tempest as well) is now amenable to machine learning approaches. Very interesting indeed.

I share this opinion as well, I think. I’m looking at any CRUD app I’ve worked on and thinking: this is just a specification over a database. Same with most other software but the …

I think I agree with you on how I felt at the end of the post, but at the beginning and most of the way through, I found myself generally agreeing. But I want to look past the “bit…

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding the law or article, but wasn’t the author implying that the act of inference on an LLM model itself is a sort of “statistical experiment”: > In probabi…

This is an interesting idea but is it feasible? What does “filter these vectors” mean? In the context of deep models are we talking about embedding specific models, weights, parame…

Gonna leave my footprint on this one too. Here’s my take since my favorite app on my Meta Quest 2 is actually Immersed (for virtual desktop / multi monitor setups): I’m less intere…

Yeah this is it. And we get to reuse the existing roads hopefully without having to build more. We can make better use of suburban sprawl.

Indeed any AI defense capabilities will necessarily need to include some offensive abilities, which for the public are mostly censored right now (eg try asking for any of the obvio…

By driving down the costs of training and inference, and then encouraging experiments. For LLMs, QLoRA is arguably a great step in this direction.

Using ctags for this purpose is genius. Thanks for posting!
