Researchers have adapted techniques from functional neuroimaging to map internal "functional networks" in large language models. By presenting the model with task-based prompts in an on/off pattern, they identified distinct n

I think it is the flippant manner in which they expose the security concern and recommend a product few would actually use.

I cut myself significantly less with a single blade than I ever did with the disposables. Disposables breed laziness for "it's good for one more shave" syndrome. And you tend to get razor burn frequently. With a single blade

As an American the phrase "chiefly freedom" sends shivers down my spine. I'm sure you don't mean it as such, but it sounds so narrow minded and "rah rah" patriotic. I wish America was "chiefly education an

I'm more upset on how blatantly racist the initial and other tweets seem.

No rechargeable remote? Should of had a simple dock on top to charge the remote and another dock purchased with the game pad. No need for batteries.

I always thought that the digital stock market should take a page from the cryptocurrencies and add a digital proof-of-work that will cap the speed of a transition. A "temporal tax" would keep the system from wild swings and react

The joke between us engineers at work is to estimate the project time, then multiply by pi.

As far as I can tell, the x-ray works similar to the dentist office. While, the basic idea behind the active backscatter mm-wave is similar to radar. It is my understanding that the majority of the TSA owned mm-wave machines are active. You

Agreed, I opt-out every time I can. This gives me a chance to talk to the TSA agent. This puts human faces on the, typically, blurry screen of human mass. When they ask why I opt-out, I explain about the numerous times I have filled out the

I don't think this is the case. But on a smaller scale: The Bush administration would put out a piece of legislation that was a hyperbole, watch the public/democrats react, then ram through a "less worse" bill in the gui

For all of those who are commenting about sysadmins grabbing as much data as they go out, I highly suspect that all of the newly unemployed sysadmins were or have been escorted by armed guards.

I've long thought this, but never read someone say it so starkly. My heart dropped with every sentence. Any suggested reading?

The apathy is the scary part. I fear it would take a mass roundup of people before the "we need this because of X" people might start questioning it. OTOH, it may be mental (illness?) for people to blindly follow authority.

opencongress.org exists. but that doesn't mean that Congress looks at it.

The irony of the Internet, just as easy to make an NSA profile as it is for a person tracking.

This is feasible today. Although it takes a decent skill set. Open source communities like OpenCore.org have enough FPGA architecture to build your own RISC computer from scratch. I suspect as FPGA's become more popular and speeds impr

So one could send out a bunch of dummy encryption files, get caught, get in jail, then show that the files were empty, then sue? Sounds easy, just hope one doesn't land in gitmo!

Agreed, if I was looking for a candidate that will always "reinvent the wheel" then I would want them to implement from scratch. I find it perfectly valid for the interviewee to say "Hey! I wrote a module for <language>

Oh great. That would mean this is the lesser evil of the other potential scandals.

I didn't take it personal :) I completely agree that "the children" is a minor blip in the entire program, but it is a blip that has a lot of emotional response attached to it. I again agree that current laws can't even

The "second saddest part" makes me realize why all of the government agencies get C's or less in the NIST tests for securing systems. When the NSA can't even employ their own in-house sysadmins, there is no real hope f

> minor children You bring up a point (perhaps frivolously)that I haven't seen before. With many many minors owning cell phones, where does the court stand on collecting meta-data from children. The law is very clear when it comes t

I think what worries me the most is reading between the lines. As in, "we've already been doing this, it should work, please make it legal." Would be interesting if the bill had retroactive legalese. Additionally, can consumers claim DMCA v
