It's of course important to reduce the impact surface before more powerful models become available, but it's worrying that some people seem to assume the only way to counteract those are by using more AI models, which despite bein

As you probably know, the computing time in the worst case scenario for brute forcing a cryptographic key generally doubles by each bit added. That is, it would take twice the effort to brute-force 129 bits compared 128 bits. The security o

I think we would need to balance practicability and code size since they tend to be mutually exclusive. Generally speaking, code size is not an important metric to make useful code, and usefulness is usually not the main point of code golf

That's a very good point. I'm sad that's exactly what people are doing, giving it a pass, since its market share doesn't seem to decrease.

The main counterpoint in the article seems to be screen quality, which might hold for older thinkpads. There are however a lot of models almost a decade old such as 480s or 490s with IPS screens that are very affordable second-hand. Alterna

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I suppose this allows google to better persist browser identifiers in order to facilitate advertising? I'm not surprised they do this since advertising represents almost 3/4 of Google &#x2

I think what made the internet in the 90s and early 2000s more enjoyable is that it was way smaller than now and (mostly) free of bots, and trying to find that in social media and mainstream sites is counterproductive, since they are just t

I don't think it speaks well of Software Engineers the will to delegate the construction of blueprints to unreliable workers. Architects and Civil Engineers know that licensed, professional people that have experience and know-how will

I am less preoccupied about private companies or government contractors able to carry out cyberattacks on foreign targets and more worried about what constitutes a "foreign target" according to the current US administration.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I wonder however how can this be done without giving a lot of problems when copypasting or sending the input to other LLMs (not even thinking about code here).

Speculation with things that affect the well-being and safety of other people should be banned, period. We have seen the impact it has had on real state or the food market to the point people have become unable to purchase new houses withou

I wonder what watermarks on an LLM output would look like. Say you have a draft for an email you have written and would like the LLM to correct typos and such. Would it be forced to change it substantially? If you tell it to reword it even

Looking through their website, it seems they are not recycling them in the usual sense of the word, but reusing them. That is, they reformat and resell them at a discount (66%) that of new ones. Which is fine, I guess, if they're just

Collision radius depends on the radius of nodes. Alpha decay is between 0.09 and 0.12 depending on the level of detail.

Thank you! It uses D3js as-is for no other reason than being the one I'm more familiarized with. I also had issues with node density. The way I solved them was by adjusting the forces between the nodes, particularly the repulsion and c

This might actually be a point for the need of sophisticated local AI.

So they're removing of opt-in consent for sharing personal data that is considered low-risk (what data is considered as such is not mentioned in the article, and as we all know it's too easy to deanonymize or extrapolate identitie

While I can understand the rationale behind it, I can't imagine this being used for anything that requires low latency requests. I imagine the flow would be something like (correct me if I'm wrong) [client request] -> [backend

As always, it's hard to implement child protection measures that don't impact the general population in any way. Either it doesn't need to know the age of the person and hides the contents by default (thus leaving the general
