Frontier models have seen more Mathematica and Powershell code than I ever have in their training, yet they really struggle to produce working output. They seem heavily tuned to Linux too. Despite adding skills to rectify this, they still f

Any comparison on the sieve to G6K ? If it's good, you should probably try a few of these https://latticechallenge.org/

I have spent a small fortune in tokens trying to get Anthropic models to attempt proofs of things like the irrationality of the Euler-Mascheroni constant, and to make lattice reduction / SVP algorithms that rival SOTA methods like the

Lots of other point collisions too: {{{-1, 3/2, 13/2}, {1, -3/2, 13/2}, {0, 0, -1/4}}, {{0, 7/8, -(3479/1152)}, {48/7, 0, 49/1152}, {-(48/7), 7/16, 539/2304}}, {{-1, 7/8,

If they can't distinguish traffic containing hidden encrypted messages from humdrum non-encrypted traffic then they'd have to ban the whole thing for everyone.

Maybe a dumb question, but what's to stop people from communicating e2e encrypted over totally insecure channels using steganography techniques? You don't need a special app to do this, or maybe you just need a companion app that

Where is the evidence for that? Though I grant they may get into power and suddenly change their mind, at the moment those parties are against digital dystopia, most likely because the centrist parties are most interested in using those t

Subscriptions make companies lazy and it degrades the product. I'm looking at you: Foundry, Adobe, Maxon, heated seats on BMWs ... They rest on their laurels, enjoy the increased cash flow, say it allows them to work on regular updates

I don't care where the headline is from. Other places have the same suspicion. There clearly is _some_ concern in Labour that VPNs could be used to bypass the OSA and it doesn't take much imagination to see where this is going. &#

What does it mean to train using an 'open ended' process? Is it like using a genetic algorithm to explore / generate _any_ image resembling something from the training set, instead of adjusting weights according to gradients

I've never had a smart phone and all my work is in front of computers. I was a bit worried during COVID lockdowns that I'd be forced to get one, but didn't have to in the end. Occasionally it can be annoying in other ways for

No I definitely don't use GitHub. Everything is entirely in-house. But even if I did, there's a much more solid foundation of trust there, whereas these AI companies have been very shady with their 'better to ask for forgiven

Yes and even if they were squeaky clean and didn't do anything bad with your code, there's also the possibility that they've been hacked and code is getting siphoned off somewhere.

Math.sin(x)/x (the sinc function) for 7 terms over [-3,3] gives coefficients c0...c6 that are all NaNs. Is this a bug? To work around it, I handled the x near zero case by just forcing to 1.0. if(Math.abs(x) > 1e-8 ){ Math.sin(x)&#x

It absolutely does impact the national debt. The FFR is the range on inter-bank lending which the FED themselves state attempts to influence other interest rates. Also, the FFR is really just a target range; they still have to adjust inter

The average productivity per person today is vastly greater compared to subsistence farming times. We have much more leisure time now made possible by an increase in productivity due to machines, technology, and better division of labour.

You may also be branded far-left too. The authoritarians in the 'center' are also afraid of a strong leftist movement taking their power and money away, not just a rightist one. You can tell because different pro-surveillance argu
