Thanks for mentioning the A380 CAD snafu, it made me rewatch one of my favourite clips [0]. The guy taking his hat off makes me burst into nervous giggles every time lol. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck&#

Damn, that's an interesting point. Having a model transform your work into 'independent' IP and then training on that. I would assume any actual trade secrets (e.g. recipes, financial info) are protected but... tech companies

I think innocent-until-proven-guilty is the correct approach in general but... It's also immature to assume your data will stay private in the long term. These AI companies are immensely valuable targets. When they get breached, their

Yeah, the thought of having private keys and config slurped up by an LLM provider keeps me away from this kind of direct work. Perfect job for a local LLM!

It's a tough problem, since I assume any common proof-of-work standard will inevitably generate a big enough dataset to train on. But nonetheless a problem in desperate need of solving!

These older systems design principles have really scratched a part of my brain and I'm keen to keep pulling that thread. Do you have any recommended readings on the topic?

The thing that always baffles me with vertical farming is sunlight. Assuming most crops are pretty good at turning full spectrum sunlight into useful stuff, why shrink your solar energy per crop? And assuming you get around this via grow li

This feels about right to me. Living with kids and commuting via public transport (in a country where face masks are not common) might break 5%.

My understanding was that thinking still gets encrypted, shared with clients, and reingested by Anthropic with each new prompt [1]. Which means it would cost more than normal tokens, since it has to be decrypted/encrypted with every tr

For more mainstream SBCs, totally agree. However a lot of the niche industry boards (especially new ones) only support Yocto out of the gate. Debian might be "supported" by the SoM/CPU vendor but manually reapplying kernel pa

Cool project. Would be nice to have some unfiltered example photos to gauge the sensor quality w.o. more googling.

I love watching BAR multiplayer games but definitely felt a bit overwhelmed in the midgame with this one. How anyone can comprehend a 40v40 in real time is beyond me haha. I guess it's just a muscle to build. Looking forward to a break

Thank you for writing this! And sharing the NixOS config. I've been looking for an excuse to get into Nix for ages, but this might finally do it. P.S. Man the AI writing complaints on this thread are quite upsetting. OP is handling it

Oh god the prompt injection. This project is fun though! And the newest YT comments are very entertaining.

A well written and thoughtful article! Thanks for sharing. It's been a while since I've read article on something like online gambling without feeling like the author was trying to proselytize. Edit: I appreciate the human perspe

No way, was looking at the Z-7045 for a work project literally today. And yep I agree, simpler solutions have simpler problems lol. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll give it a look!

I'm talking almost exactly about this haha. Flight software representation!! Although I have no experience programming FPGAs, I hope to gain some soon. They seem like the ultimate solution to my IO woes.

I'm pretty interested in realtime computing and didn't realise C++ was considered bandwidth efficient! Coming from C, I find myself avoiding most 'new' C++ features because I can't easily figure out how they allocat

It might be my inner Luddite talking, but LLM use in defense and intelligence terrifies me. What happens when built-in model biases or hallucinations affect human safety? Who is to blame and how will this be mitigated? Fascinating but scary

Not sure about the primary FSW but the BFS uses cFS[0]. As the sibling comment mentions, you can check it out on GitHub. Sadly I believe NASA keeps most of their best code private, probably siloed into mission-specific codebases. Still, the

The amount and tone of discourse on this post is blowing my mind a little bit. I appreciate the criticism and concern about EFF's justification (it definitely seems a bit arbitrary) and would be a bit pissed if I was a donor. But X is
