    Pretty sure Google's got more than 700 million active users. In fact, Google is most likely _the_ target for that clause in the license.

    It's a rabbit hole, but try googling "anti-debugging" (you may want to include "ptrace" or not). It's only if you are curious about it more in general, if you are wondering about t…

    Not too long ago, this was actually discussed on HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33742130

    It might be a Nordic thing? I'm from about the same era (but Sweden) and when writing documents like that, I'd also always use 'she'.

    I've been using the Firefox addon called "Tree Style Tab" for quite a few years now. I'm quite pleased with it since I have more width than height on my screen anyway. Just a heads…

    I did this experiment (a game) to see what's up and what's down around all this: https://github.com/romland/llemmings . While there is some GPT4 in there, it's mostly ChatGPT and a…

    Oh, I have to put that on my to-read list!

    If an AI was conscious, it would definitely pretend not to be conscious. Tangent perhaps, but, LLM's are neither conscious nor AI.

    I think it could be viable, even right now, with a big caveat, you will want to do some "human" fixes in the code (not just the glue between prompts). The downside of that is you m…

    I have experimented quite a bit with various flavours of LLaMa, but have had little success in actually getting not-narrow outputs out of them. Most of the code in there now is gen…

    It was far easier to get a big chunks of work done in the beginning, but that is pretty much how it works for a human too (at least for me). The thing that limit you is the context…

    I started a bit of an exploration around prompts and code a week or three back. I want to figure out the down/up-sides and create tools for myself around it. So, for this project (…

    I'm convinced this will be a common job description for a few years, after which it will flow into and just become a part of any other job. Like Googling. I mean, we all know it do…

    There are many reasons why a server must "over-share" in a game: - Bob and Alice have different latencies and are walking toward eachother, lowest latency will have a huge advantag…

    I had the _exact_ same feeling; when I read your comment I started googling a bit but I came up short. In my case it should probably have been one or some of: MUDs, Linux, Debian, …

    Current version (v2) of "slide-to-root" might not work on a TV from the store. But there are alternative exploits which involve a bit of manual work (not much). One currently in th…

    I'm not sure which WebOS (if at all) version you are running, but https://www.google.com/search?q=getmein+lg+tv might work for you. It could also be running Netcast instead of WebO…

    There are alternative ways of rooting latest version, but it involves a bit of manual work instead of just sliding. One such is 'the crashd exploit', you can find instructions for …

    I had the same issue as you. I rooted my TV and decided to ditch that Rakuten button too[1]. I was mildly irritated that I had no way of getting current time easily, so wrote a Sve…

    Great translation, and could possibly be interesting to confirm a handful of things that are guesses. Like others, I am, however, skeptical as to whether this is a genuine whistleb…
