That's not "trying to cover it up", that's a link to them adding credits that were missing, which is the main corrective action to get into compliance with the source project's license.

It means it can execute native code inside the sandbox, as opposed to Javascript. While still sandboxed, this lets it access some parts of the attack surface that JS would not have been able to, some of which may have other exploits that al

Is the relevant radiation solar radiation, or is there damage from radiation coming from the direction the optics are pointed? If it's the latter, then maybe the sun's emissions interact with inbound particles from sources outside

You can check, rather than make up a story about what you think the prompt was! Primary sources have written and said quite a lot about this! You are an unsandboxed human who has full internet access!

The victim, Huggingface, told us. Or rather, they told the police first, setting up a situation where it was no longer possible for OpenAI to sweep it under the rug. Skepticism can be healthy, but you've got to follow up and actually c

...Huh. I just rechecked, and indeed it was. I may have been remembering a limitation that was present temporarily when the MV3 switchover happened.

I use Firefox with (non-lite) uBlock Origin, and occasionally fire up Chrome (with uBO Lite) for testing. The main issue that I run into is that uBO lite filters can't vary per-domain, so in order to rule out an ad-blocking-false-posit

Do iOS users realize how much they're paying Apple? I feel like if, every time they bought something, users got a receipt with a line item showing that 30% of the money was going to Apple and not to the company they thought they were b

This article makes no mention of Russian sabotage, but the Russian military has been caught sabotaging similar munitions-manufacturing facilities in Europe. Incompetence might be sufficient to explain the failure, but it also seems reasonab

Eventually, this arms race ends with a computer vision model that looks at the screen, classifies visual elements as ads, and draws a rectangle over anything that looks like an ad. I am significantly less tolerant of ads than average people

As far as I can tell, this is a big overreaction to a misunderstanding. I'm a developer with remote adb enabled, using it in the normal intended way (to install new builds of an Android project I'm developing, retrieve log files r

The first thing to check for, in accounts like this, is "which AI model"? There is a subset of people who somehow don't realize how important that decision is, and don't mention or don't foreground which AI model th

As marketing stunts go, this is about on par with a food franchise announcing a safety recall or a chemical company announcing a spill. The AI actions described would constitute a felony if a human did them, and police are involved.

If that's all you'd posted recently, the problem is not likely to be the content you posted. The most likely thing that happened is that you shared an IP address (eg a VPN exit node, or a device with malware on your wifi network)

If you think a browser feature that's been standard since 2023 is only supported by 70% of your visitors, you're wrong. The 30% of "users" that don't support it aren't visitors, they're bots pretending to

I've never seen this beore today; it happened today and was quite clearly incorrect behavior. I prompted it to research considerations for a significant code architecture decision. It asked a pretty difficult question about which direc

This is a misinterpretation. Fable 5's acceptable use policy has false positives during some coding tasks, and that's what they were talking about. But I've been using it for web dev tasks since it relaunched today, and it&#x

Have you checked your IP address's reputation with a service such as ipqualityscore.com? If cloudflare thinks your traffic is bot traffic, it's likely that there is bot traffic you don't know about coming from your IP, either

I deal with scrapers that sometimes border on DDoSes for LessWrong. The amount of bot traffic varies greatly between sites; if you have more URLs you get more bot traffic (regardless of whether those URLs represent a deep content catalog, o

The full-screen mode handling might be a clue about what went wrong: if you swipe up from a space that contains a full screen app, it has an animation where the app goes into a slot in the preview strip, but that animation doesn't make

Prior to MacOS 10.11, Mission Control was good: you would swipe up with four fingers and it would show you a preview of all of your spaces. Then in 10.11, for no discernable reason, they changed it to suck: rather than showing you a preview

This press release links to an arXiv article dated a year ago, which ran tests using AI models that were already seriously out of date at that time. The practical upshot of which is that, with respect to the question people care about, and

Apple's app store rules have never been compatible with devtools. It's kind of surprising to me that a Replit app existed on iOS at all; I would have expected that to be a nonstarter, and, given that a Replit app does somehow exis

I think people are giving the AI-water-use claims too much credibility. The idea that AI datacenters are heavy water users is trivial to refute, and was trivial to refute when it was first introduced. It should be written about in the same

This sort of thing makes the lack of a downgrade process a real problem. If you rely on something that uses Rosetta, you aren't likely to find out until after you've upgraded, at which point it's too late, you're stuck w
