also I believe it helps you track save games. I have multiple Linux boxes I play GOG games on using Heroic launcher and save game tracking is a big issue (maybe there's a way to do this with Heroic, idk). But I think Galaxy would help

I don’t have a good list of which games I validated in parallels and which I didn’t (since I’ve stopped gaming for the last 6 months or so). And I do heavily play boomer shooters so it’s likely I was impressed by performance of less demandi

I haven’t done any objective tests but I frequently run Windows 11 on ARM via Parallels on macOS and - it’s kinda insane (subjectively) how fast it is. Emulated x86 code is pretty fast there as well - I can easily get a solid 60 FPS on some

This appears to be an architectural vulnerability where a speculative execution side channel similar to Spectre can be utilized within Safari or any other browser. The specifics of which environment is exploitable comes down to the specific

From a cursory review of the FAQs on the page it appears one mitigation might be to only keep one browser tab open at a time? They appear to be using timers and a cache eviction gadget to infer the state of other browser tabs/processes

Don’t forget these systems are trained or aligned to respond to common niceties because they are meant for public consumption.

So from an attackers perspective nowadays it sounds like focusing on encryption weaknesses and/or hardware issues (e.g. glitching) or firmware vulnerabilities is the right place to look?

I was wondering what the newly exposed vector of exploitation was here and I think you nailed it.

This is an interesting thought and I have to agree it’s a legitimate issue. I have also considered something similar - that in the near future, if all software is designed with AI, or “generated” rather than explicitly engineered, we would

Yes it seems like any possible physical side channel (eg Tempest as well) is now amenable to machine learning approaches. Very interesting indeed.

I share this opinion as well, I think. I’m looking at any CRUD app I’ve worked on and thinking: this is just a specification over a database. Same with most other software but the web and most mobile apps seem ripe to just become generated

I think I agree with you on how I felt at the end of the post, but at the beginning and most of the way through, I found myself generally agreeing. But I want to look past the “bitcoin” switch after the bait because I generally agree with t

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding the law or article, but wasn’t the author implying that the act of inference on an LLM model itself is a sort of “statistical experiment”: > In probability theory, the law of large numbers (LLN) is a theorem

This is an interesting idea but is it feasible? What does “filter these vectors” mean? In the context of deep models are we talking about embedding specific models, weights, parameters, etc at some point in memory with the hardware? Are we

Gonna leave my footprint on this one too. Here’s my take since my favorite app on my Meta Quest 2 is actually Immersed (for virtual desktop / multi monitor setups): I’m less interested in either Apple or Meta here because I think Apple

Yeah this is it. And we get to reuse the existing roads hopefully without having to build more. We can make better use of suburban sprawl.

Indeed any AI defense capabilities will necessarily need to include some offensive abilities, which for the public are mostly censored right now (eg try asking for any of the obvious public PoCs which it almost certainly was trained on) I f

By driving down the costs of training and inference, and then encouraging experiments. For LLMs, QLoRA is arguably a great step in this direction.

Yeah and one of the fundamental assumptions around statements like “let’s make AI a licensed regime” is the idea that we know what AI even is. This idea is banking on current technology being the best algorithm or method to produce “AI” a

While I agree that is a bit of an extreme statement (many companies are also adopting LLMs from what I've been reading here on HN), this part just below that does seem insightful: > Unless you work for OpenAI, your GPT leverage is l

Perhaps this is one of the greatest paradigm shifts for traditional software engineers as “AI” becomes more commonly integrated: maybe we will have to use anthropomorphic language and maybe it will be considered the most technically correc

I can say I read about 1/4 of the way through the article and although I’m interested in the authors research, I did get the feeling the author hadn’t actually driven an EV - which may not be true, but I agree the author didn’t touch

by drvdevd 4y ago
I certainly can’t argue with this point. Except I will add that when I speak of a shortage of engineers, I am perhaps more speaking of a gut feeling on the overall quality of software the entire industry is putting out. There may or may not
