I think you were reading "... is science fiction" the wrong way out of two possible interpretations. I don't think "it's science fiction" meant "it's made up". I think it meant "it sounds li

iirc it's even invisible to veracrypt until it has your correct password in hand. The hidden volume headers are indistinguishable from random bytes (which Veracrypt fills the volume with on creation).

"Eight of the top..." seems useless to know though. "Eight of the top ten" is very different from "eight of the top thousand".

Same. If the whole point is "people should be left alone to do what they want" then fine, but that should also include my right to think, "eh yeah, that's a bit weird". And quite frankly, I think many people in the

That matches my experience (also not a furry). But there's also a whole additional layer of offsec being (by definition) "doing things you're not supposed to be allowed to do", which has obvious parallels with people who

... those who argue against adding it heard at some point "security through obscurity is not security" and never dug deeper. Ironically, that makes them the exact type of person who would be successfully deterred by a layer of o

Aah my mistake. I had missed that ML had separate trigger behavior from cybersecurity/etc... Thanks.

I've seen this claim a few times, but when I triggered the guardrails in Claude Code, it clearly notified me that it had switched to a different model ("something something for security purposes..."). Are you using Fable in C

Round your "~15%" up to 20%, and you've just discovered the Pareto Princlple: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle , aka "The 80/20 rule".

That's super interesting! What sort of feedback? Anatomical feedback ("Uhh, that's not where arms go...") or drawing (like tips on shading etc...)?

Yeah, it was quite clear once I started reading the article. It just threw me for a loop as I read the title - Usually if I hear of grades "soaring" that's a _good_ thing.

Imagine an elementary school teacher told you that many of her students had failing grades, so she had implemented a new reading curriculum. If she told you that afterwards the failing grades had "soared", it could easily be read

What a terribly ambiguous title. "Failing grades soar after xyz" makes it sound like xyz has helped what were previously terrible, failing grades become good ones.

Is this deliberately borrowing from Herman Melvile's "Bartleby the Scrivener"? If so it might be worth mentioning, rather than just referring to it as "my short story", since it's a nearly identical retelling o

Gotta bump that encryption up - rot26 is twice as secure.

My phone's browser picked a heckuva place for the line break in the second sentence: My mom has been regularly beating me at Scrabble since I could spell.

The hitler Grok? What? I genuinely don't understand what you're trying to say in this comment.

I really like the idea of iteration 7, but I feel like it would work a lot better with some minimum height on the y axis. Letting it peter out to zero loses the "spectrum-ness" of it, and it just looks like various random color bl

Maybe you're passing the sentence incorrectly. Could be, "They found software about making drugs/explosives, pornography about making drugs/explosives, and articles about making drugs/explosives".

Pasting a Wikipedia link or saying "just ask an LLM" only helps out the one instance of someone not knowing. I did the same thing as the OP you're replying to. They're right - a brief summary in the readme would be a nea

Yes. Look up LLM "temperature" - it's an internal parameter that tweaks how deterministic they behave.

Fair point, but I'd argue that "Google informed [you] of a perfectly viable alternative that might be cheaper" isn't what happened. What happened is "Google offered you Honda first, for no other reason than Honda pa

Just declaring "oppose this" without any explanation isn't very constructive.

I could see it being uninteresting if it were assumed that we could never interact with the outside world, but this article is discussing the polar opposite. I feel like if we could , that would be undeniably interesting and worth pursuing

I think the main concern over this is that it's baked into the OS . That's a significant difference from "Here's a 3rd party app you can install if you want this functionality." Especially from an OS vendor w

Can you elaborate on this? I've seen HTMX and considered trying it out in some projects, but would like insight on how to best use it in a stack.

You don't need AGI for drone swarms to be feasible.
