I hope that AI labs aren't going to wait for widespread distribution of malware encoding novel CBRN & AI info in its fundamental execution architecture (wholly preventing analysis by these safetymaxxed 'frontier' models)

I make privacy tooling and Fable 5 rejects the vast majority of my prompts to analyze and improve the software that I've written. It's bleak.

Manual string replacement with a hardcoded list of cases for escaping as suggested by the article isn't good advice for the use case of 'support inserting arbitrary text'. Do use CDATA nodes, but only work on XML with an actu

Judging by the graphics used in the launch event, it may actually be miniLED. Perhaps they aren't mentioning this so people don't compare their max 700 nits full screen brightness to other vendors' >1000 nits full screen b

Where are you getting that this doesn't have a unified memory model? This laptop uses an iGPU with shared memory.

My main gripes: - There's zero mention of the display technology, just "2.8K Touchscreen Display" - The optional HDMI ("3rd Gen") adapter is only 4K 60hz, when the host chip has integrated Thunderbolt 4 which can ou

Discord would have never gotten to where it is today if not for the Mumble community never shipping a decent fully-featured web UI. There were multiple efforts throughout the years but iirc they were not coordinated and didn't gather m

I'm planning to eventually launch an open source platform with the same name (peerweb.com) that I hope will be vastly more usable, with a distributed anti-abuse protocol, automatic asset distribution prioritization for highly-requested

Addy told me that he didn't use AI to write his apology. I can see why people might suspect otherwise though.

The notable part is the PNG file was copied exactly. He could have generated one himself.

Correct. He did not commit copyright infringement. Just plagiarism.

This feels somewhat hypocritical coming from Addy. Addy Osmani plagiarized my code and 'apologized' years later by publishing an article on his website[1] that he has never linked to from his social media accounts. I cannot accept

I don't see any mention of HTTP 204 or multipart/x-mixed-replace. Those are both very helpful for implementing rich JavaScript-free HTML applications with advanced interactivity.

Third-party cookies, and presumably Privacy Sandbox are both enabled by default. I can't find any controls to disable Privacy Sandbox, and I see the presence of Privacy Sandbox attribution APIs in JS.
