You are making a wrong leap from non-deterministic process to uncontrollable result. Most of the parallel algorithms are non-deterministic. There might be no guarantee about the or…

Well, sometimes Microsoft decides to change your settings back. This has happened to me very frequently after installing Windows updates. I remember finding myself turning the same…

There are two kinds of consultants: those who write code and those who only give advise. It seems to me that those who only advise lost their market to LLMs pretty completely.

> Iran banned WhatsApp and Google Play in 2022 during mass protests against the government So more than fearing Israel, they actually fear the public that has an encrypted communic…

I'm surprised reading that the Iranian's regime concerns are centered on WhatsApp sharing information with Israel. It is much more likely that WhatsApp have 0-day vulnerabilities u…

Security strength is not a binary measure, there are many levels of security between "no encryption at all" to "run your own server".

I am not involved in scraping, but to me this sounds like simply another tool in the arsenal. They say it's hard for the scraper to realize it has been caught this way because it's…

This means the leading UI for LLMs - the chat - is the wrong UI, at least for some of the tasks. We should instead have a single query text field, like in search engines, that you …

And yet, it's the best we currently have. I donate to them. We can come with demands of how it should be managed, but it should not prevent us from helping them.

exactly. I was not referring to ads, but to annoying suggestions in embedded videos (also when the video is paused!), and even to the long and mostly useless suggestions list on th…

I simply cannot give up the option of zapping distractions off of my screen. I really cannot understand how people can use Youtube or even a Youtube embedded video without zapping …

If there was a similar product that does not upload any of your extremely personal data, like whether you're now in your bed, to some server on the internet, would you prefer it?

Are there any consumer products offered that provide similar functions (heating, controlling with an app etc.), but which never try to connect to a remote server, other than lookin…

I wonder what giant shadows this building casts, and how unfortunate it is for those live near it.

You really don't have to wait even a single second if you use an ad blocker. I can recommend uBlock Origin.

Maybe it is about time that we stop relying on closed gardens, censored and managed on a whim, and start reclaiming our internet and freedom back, publishing in open platforms?

This great video goes into a bit more detail about pixels. It also shows that there is an interesting difference with the color green not only in monitors, but also in camera senso…

This is true. it also hurts the public, as the drivers are dependent on the number of deliveries the succeed making, thus hurrying up and constantly stressed. This hurts not only t…

Can you describe the changes that we are anticipated to see as a result of the change in the administration?

A completely different approach that don't require heavy AI would be an app on the user phone that does this: 1. Measure the distance from the wall (standard image processing) 2. U…

I really don't know if I could survive nowadays internet without uBlock. The picker functionality just changes the internet for me. I can make most of the noise disappear.

There are some indirect ways. Suspecting users can try the software to see if it has the exact same functionality or bugs as the copied GPL library. This is of course not a definit…

When handling critical software and hardware, for example automated cars, it should be the case that it's never ever the sole responsibility of a single individual. People make mis…

This looks very cool! The drawing examples on the page are amazing. I wish all kids could draw like that :D I wonder what the AI understands when given a more sketchy drawing. It's…
