The magical super-AI will turn into a basilisk and start torturing every human that didn't assist in building it by simulating them forever. Or something like that. The doomers unironically panicked when Roko wrote that (vaguely based

I keep seeing single-person hobby projects in C++ bodying e. g. tiktoken which is supposed to be peak performance rust (another recent project I saw was vibta being much faster than songrec). It seems like at least at a certain project comp

IIRC cloudflare doesn't forward which region you're connecting from for privacy reasons, and archive.is seems bizarrely focused on blocking (only) Finland, so to avoid accidentally letting a Finn visit they block everyone using th

It's also confirmed in third-party studies like this https://arxiv.org/html/2501.15654v1 (which also confirms that humans that have experience with LLMs are very good at spotting them).

No, X11 supports pretty detailed per-application access control, similar to selinux (XACE). The author of the phoenix x server has blogged about it, iirc.

Yeah, the humble facebook pixel has nothing on google with everything from recaptcha to google fonts when it comes to stalking people across the net.

It isn't all sunshine and roses in China either, they recently were banned from selling at a loss and are struggling to adapt: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/26/06/18/0033211/chinas-ev-p...

No cultures directly favor low or negative birthrates. But we've known since the 1800s that it follows from female education (and this seems independent of culture, it was first observed in France, but you can see the same trend in any

Yes, and Firefox had not. Which I think points at Mythos not being some big jump in capability finding things earlier LLMs didn't, it seems to mostly come down to massively increased compute budget and they finally catching up in conte

In addition to naming one, I'd also be interesting in whether they actually do rigorous work. The safety research that tends to get headlines is often extremely misleading, usually with directed prompting, or unreported additions to th

The problem is that the world is increasingly transitioning from the Internet to regional internet. There are companies that have gotten very good at virtual border control while selling stuff to e. g. the chinese and russians that are alle

I don't think social media is any healthier just because people are older, I'd rather just ban them outright. And from what I remember of the coverage of the scientists presenting their case in the UK there wasn't enough evid

Unless you're stuck on an annoying platform you could try adjusting the hinting. Contrary to Apple's insistence, hidpi doesn't mean blurring the edges of fonts is okay.

There's plenty of "free" very well made fonts, though Intel didn't get Intel One Mono for free, nor did Google get Noto for free.

There are some Claude datasets (of indeterminate provenance) floating around on huggingface you can look at (or at least used to be, they might've been taken down).

Google didn't really invent much, they just had access to an insane amount of data and compute to try to train a model with just the attention mechanism, but ripping out (most of) the rest, from an earlier paper on machine translation

I assume they use residential proxies (tunneling in the background of crappy Android games) for the "last" hop.

The chinese have already worked around the ID verification, by recruiting people in low-income countries to complete the checks for less than 30 USD per account (so much for Altman's Worldcoin). https://tech.yahoo.com/a
