It is not a vulnerability though. It is by design. Docker also modifies iptables directly and bypasses most soft firewalls on the machine - which is also by design.

How do you even get usable microsecond precision sync info from a server thousands of kilometers away? The latency is variable so the information you get can't be verified / will b…

probably not very relevant in a zoom meeting but there are people hypersensitive to the eye movements of someone reading from a teleprompter as well! When I figure someone is readi…

Sometimes I hear a 10-20hz pulsing sound (so pretty fast, chirping sound) emanating from around my brainstem / back of neck at the level of my ears and a slight feeling of some liq…

There are also documented effects of your camera quality, and even where your camera is placed (as you tend to look at your screen during a call so your gaze is always relative to …

I think the company named Topaz had a photoshop plugin to remove "jpeg artifacts" - I don't know if they are using a neural model for it though.

first you need to find a way to differentiate human thinking from machine thinking. you need to basically show how human thought is not the result of statistical learning and infer…

we are working on . We have considered the following path to find a solution. Are we on the right track? Only answer Yes or No. (1 week of GPUs whirring later) AI: Your (that will …

good

It is more obvious when taken to extreme: With the current feedforward transformer architectures, there is a fixed amount of compute per token. Imagine asking a very hard question …

Not only that but also LLMs "think" in a latent representation that is several layers deep. Sure, the first and last layers make it look like it is doing token wrangling, but what …

When I'm talking about velocity, I'm not talking about coding fast, but being able to write DRY, flexible yet easily maintainable code that can weather future requirements / refact…

Haxe is amazing, has macros etc. A force multiplier if you are a solo developer for sure. But damn, you feel kinda alone if you are using it. Not everything is an npm install away …

yes but still, a local model, a lightning in a bottle that is between GPT3.5 and GPT4 (closer to 4), yours forever, for about that price is pretty good deal today. probably won't b…

I only ever used cache to find what google thought was in the site (at the time of crawling) as these days it is common to not find that info in the updated page. For everything el…

IIRC the progressions are generated by a small neural network trained on Bach chorales.

I can't believe people are willingly installing rootkits of dubious origin on their computers to play games (and paying for the privilege). I know cheating is an issue, but still.

I would not trust Kazakhstan to honor the TLD registrations if this took off and made some noise. Reminds me of Libya taking ownership of all those trendy .ly domains claiming you …

Ah yes, I totally agree. I was inspecting the method as a stopgap solution (especially because it does not require retraining or any other special tricks) until researchers figure …

For the existing models is beam-search like methods hopeless due to combinatorial explosion? Are there no smart ways to improve it? Evaluating multiple futures will be slow but if …

I had that in one ear for 2-3 years. By pulsatile tinnitus I assume you mean the loud "whooshing" sound that is in sync with your heart beat (hearing the blood flow basically). Doc…

Music is not constrained to... publishing musicians, and "real music" is not defined by them. The fact that novelists are not depending on LLMs to write their next book does not me…

Did not realize Bun had (even if rudimentary) macros - bundle time executing code support. That is pretty neat! https://bun.sh/docs/bundler/macros
