That appears to be using your metaphor and pointing out how being a cyclist and using an e-bike aren’t mutually exclusive. (I do know multiple avid cyclists that own e-bikes as one of several bikes they own and ride). Ripping off the metaph

A conundrum I see is that once someone releases a “solution” to a problem, it becomes much easier for someone else to come up with prompts to have AI make a clone of that solution. Basically, the moat for many products is disappearing, and

Most of the things I work on are at least security adjacent. At some point chatting with Fable inevitably leads to it thinking about the security related aspects, tripping the safeguards. Maybe Fable can do the same things better than other

2 hours ago I got an email from Crowd Supply saying that my “Dabao Evaluation Board for Baochip-1x” order had shipped. Coincidence? Hmm…

Was it applying to the program for an organization or individual? The description for the individual application page makes it sound pretty straightforward compared to getting access for an organization.

I’d been thinking maybe I should move some projects from GitHub to Codeberg… but this change has a chilling effect since now whoever is making the LLM-generated decision might arbitrarily decide to ban a project based on undefined criteria,

I was thinking that the other definition was right and this correction was wrong. Then I did some searching and found multiple examples of both definitions in use, making things murky. So I turned to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary: “ of, rela

I applied for both. Heard back from neither. Mentioned two particular projects when applying, one with 2k stars and 5M monthly downloads, and another with 2M monthly downloads.

I was using it to craft a CTF challenge for summer students involving a simulated mechanical dial safe, but with the fence replaced by a IR beam break sensor and a microcontroller handling the check + flag message display. For generating th

So in other words... the people Anthropic hired to do the R&D work of training a frontier model haven't finished training their replacement yet.

The things that are harder to get running in a browser via webassembly tend to have a GUI, network communication, or system calls that browsers don’t provide the APIs that are needed to support. But I’ve seen workarounds using websocket pro

It looks like most of the sources might be under the “docs” subfolder.

I help maintain a project that is used as a dependency by a lot of security tools to handle PE files. It’s disappointing that Anthropic and OpenAI never responded to the applications to their respective programs for open source maintainers.

Train it like Disney’s Olaf where it can adjust how it walks/stands to keep motor temperature under control.

If you read the epilogue, they weren't able to achieve the under $1000 price goal. Total cost ended up being around $1,450. Pretty good price reduction compared to CARA 1.0 though. Hypothetically if I were to want a quadrupedal robot t

Agreed, many types of devices don’t need to be locked down so much. I imagine the companies making the devices think they are “protecting” their secrets from competitors, though now it might be easier to ask an LLM for whatever feature they

That just brought a whole new meaning to that message… and writing up a post-mortem.

I was kinda of disappointed when that happened earlier this month, but not as much now after seeing this change. My primary use had been trying out some of the newer Anthropic and OpenAI models, which probably would have burned through $10

FreeBSD CI testing is the part I’ll miss the most… time to find an alternative for open source projects.

I mostly clicked the link because I was curious if Cirrus Labs operates Cirrus CI and if so how that would be impacted. Looks like I’ll need to move the FreeBSD CI jobs for open source projects I maintain to another solution. Anyone have su

That part is amazing. Back when I first heard of tart I thought it was amazing, with the one downside being the license. Hopefully development on it continues, or a community maintained version keeps it going.

Different websites, same story. I guess OpenAI raising $$$ billion is a big enough story that people will upvote regardless of it being at the top of the front page already.
