Not everyone is supposed to create.

AluminIum you say?

i am desperately awaiting the butlerian jihad ;_;

we cannot escape the AI generated slop can we? online writing before 2022 is the low-background steel of the information age. now these models will all be training on their own out…

What website is this? It looks like fake news. Update: I did some searching around and this is definitely a fake news website.

As it gets more rigorous and predictable I suppose you could say it approaches psychology.

I love how we have such a poor model of how LLMs work (or more aptly don't work) that we are developing an entire alchemical practice around them. Definitely seems healthy for the …

That’s not true actually. Like most things at law, it’s more complicated than that.

but here's the thing: why spend a bunch of time trying to formulate a prompt to give to a machine to generate a bad image to bring to an artist who would then refine it, when you c…

I am heavily tattooed and I tried generating a few designs. I'm sorry to say that everything it suggested was awful, and if an artist ever showed me any of this in their flash coll…

I wouldn't get annoyed at the study—they're trying to discover objective facts about the world, and it is very important to know that a commonly-accepted sugar substitute causes a …

Reading this it sounds like 'AI' is when you build a heuristic model (which we've had for a while now) but pass some threshold of cost in terms of input data, GPUs, energy, and tra…

> The study is published in the Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B Dare I ask why?

I'd argue that doing proof-of-possession for state maintenance/session persistence, rather than simple bearer tokens, is sorely needed.

Hi! Author of this proposal here. I’m loving all the feedback and wanted to address some things: * Yes, nonce tracking is expensive. HTTP request signatures could be used instead o…

I see this as a complementary form of DPoP for first-party browser sessions. I took a lot of inspiration from DPoP, with the main novel construction being HMAC signatures over an i…

This may look cute, but you should know that buildings only do this when they are extremely distressed. If you see a building rotating, no matter how slowly, do not approach it!

Fortunately I never had to rely on it, but Simplisafe was super easy to set up, and had a nice app/interface/customer support.

Why do you think there was a golden age when there wasn't mediocrity, average-ness, simple and cheap and utilitarian designs? Is it because the bland cars and houses and advertisem…

Because shares in an entity that owes more than it owns are worth zero.

Actually, I think implementing first and standardizing later is how a lot of (dare I say, most?) Web standards came about. And without patents and other IP restrictions, I don't th…

Does this preclude their users from suing them for violating the privacy policy (and other laws)?
