Perhaps, but this has little to do with it. In what scenario is user-auditable traceability of firmware images anything but a good thing?

I think you are confusing Black Holes with Hawking Radiation . The later's status is basically exactly as you describe.

Yeah, these are trivial optimizations.

I think you are misinterpreting. The distribution present in the training set in isolation (the one I'm referring to, and is not fuzzy in the slightest) is not the same thing as the distribution understood by the trained model (the one

That's a common mechanism to achieve generalization, but the term is a little more general (heh) than that. It specifically refers to correctly handling data that lives outside the distribution presented by the training data. It's

The issue with that is that "Gets to read and/or write the DOM" happens to be the only permissions a nefarious extension needs while also being those that a vast number of useful extensions require.

They do quite a bit more sampling in order to dynamically determine a good delta value. But apart from that, I dare say that I got it broadly right. It feels to me like there's also quite a bit of temporal coherence that could be lever

If I had to guess: 1. Get partial derivatives of each parameter's influence on the moved object by sampling the function twice. 2. Perform a bog standard gradient descent. 3. go back to 1 until convergence is achieved. Or you could be

The difference being that it's somewhat related to the app's operation. In this case, it's completely orthogonal to the app's marketed function.

If I'm reading this right, the caveat is that the exploit only lets you read registers that have been saved for context-switching. So, in order to extract data, that data must be in constant active use (i.e. loaded in a register) at th

> Isn't "reasoning" a functional property though? If from the outside it performs all the functions of reasoning, it doesn't matter what is happening inside of the black box. Yes, that's my point exactly.

I keep getting surprised at how a large chunk of HN's demographic seemingly struggles with the simple notion that a black box's interface informs surprisingly little about its content. I'm not saying that GPT-4 is reasoning o

If you think of a model as a function approximator with an error that can only be characterized empirically, it's not a bad term at all to describe the class of algorithms ANNs belong to. It's a real shame that the term is being a

Superconductors also have an inherent current limit above which they go back to having a resistance.

But the performance binning is a direct result of careful design that goes out of its way to ensure that a subset of failures can still lead to a workable/binnable products. It's still a failure to produce a part that matches the

A pure one-way notification system is not a "twitter variant", but a completely different beast altogether. The draw of the twitter-like approach is that the government messages are a portion of an existing stream of communication

A large social platform simply cannot survive without constant moderation that goes beyond strict application of the law. You need some form of community standards in place. A government agency governing what is acceptable speech is a bad i

When you get down to real-time OSs, jitter often becomes the only metric that actually matters, and raw throughput becomes a means to that end.

On the flip side, languages like C,C++ and Rust have the major benefit of having next to no runtime component to it, allowing trace-driven fuzz testing to achieve a much higher level of confidence in its test coverage. For a tool like sudo,

Think of it more as: It's still possible, painful as it may sometimes be, to debug optimised C++ code running at full speed.

Kinda. But it`s going to be a lot like how data compression works. There will always be a somewhat fundamental limit to how much "creativity" you can get out of a small prompt generating large texts when using an isolated model.

"basically just massively parallel CPUs" is correct-ish, but it has the added wrinkle that you have to think of them as CPUs where large chunks of cores have to be executing the same instruction at the same time, which means that

Standard web APIs are a lot like kernel-level OS features. They have a ton of inertia to them, so they arguably should be limited to stuff that is infeasible in "userland". (There are additional reasons for that in the case of OSs

TL;DR; It has to work blazingly fast on all kinds of GPUs, which are not nearly as homogeneous as you might expect. The complex setup is the "lowest common denominator" of that ecosystem. GPUs are stupendously good at ridiculously

No one here is disputing that. The question is whether whomever builds them can make a profit doing so, or will they just end up being the suckers that everyone who actually makes money piggybacks off. It's really not clear at the mome

Hawking radiation has been observed? When did that happen?
