Anyone else struck by the similarities between the description an "The Cookie Monster” by Vernor Vinge?

Might be an interesting motivation for looped LLMs to cut the gate count down. Perhaps even a collection of mixed programmable layers and baked layers in a loop.

Broad form car insurance might accomplish what you want: https://www.policygenius.com/auto-insurance/what-is-broad-fo... But I believe the intersection of states with highly privat…

You shouldn't link that without mentioning that it is a particularly intense S&M/rape/incest fetish piece, and that the squick content is entirely integral to the story. I'm genera…

Good luck even finding the non-directors cut. I liked the film noir voice-over.

Sorry to offend, my point is that the necessity of auto insurance will stick your name (as the insured party for that vin) in a place accessible to flock (or at least flock's users…

AI psychosis is alive and well, it seems.

Insurance demands your vin and reports it to LexisNexis, and anyone with a Lexis Nexis account can turn a VIN into a Montana plate so long as they self-certify that their use compl…

Care to explain how you can insure a car without the insurance selling your data to data brokers? All states with remotely private registration still require insurance, including M…

I disagree with the underlying cause claimed in that analysis: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49141886

Hopefully people are being a little circumspect right now with explotation instructions because there are still vulnerable coins out there (particularly from mk4+ wallets, as well …

This flaw would probably be easier to find from the binary: the source itself was misleading, but if you analyized the binary you'd find that there was no access to the hwrng at al…

Right, that's particularly a concern for DSA nonces. Coldcard uses RFC 6979 however, and duplicates at the 32-bit word level is a different matter than at the byte level.

I have absolutely no interest in defending this code-- and already considered it untrusthworthy before any of this. But in the interest of accuracy: > It does a memcpy of a minimum…

Aside, I'm somewhat surprised that MISRA (as of 2012 at least) doesn't have a directive related to definedness vs value errors.

This writeup isn't very good and misses/misunderstands the programming error that leads to the flaw. I'm commenting because I think it's important to understand the issue. The arti…

Any AI company should have a hardline rule against hiring any employee who sincerely believes that AI is going to doom mankind, given what AI doomers believe. If they're sincere in…

> 1T model requires 1T of RAM assuming 8 bits per weight, but 4bits is commonly used once you get to that scale.

I found the LLM writing exceptionally distasteful and it made it difficult to look at the page for a subject I'd otherwise find interesting-- it's an extremely bad style, and also …
