The problem with (or the advantage of) the water flowing analogy, or even more broadly the discrete element model, is that it explains reality good enough to be used in most practical situations. Schematics are ubiquitous, yes they are &quo

Here's another way: 0.20305070110130 (...) And now this whole shebang looks much less impressive, doesn't it?

This is analyzed in the paper. There are two sources of problems: gunshot-wound-like, and the effect of transiently highly increased gravity on nearby tissues. The first one seems worse, and is the limiting factor. PS. The paper is very eas

Besides being funny this paper also has some points - for example we know that no human has yet died due to a PBH passing through their body, but they very likely would had one passed through them. So that's sort of evidence against th

He says that a) yes there are many receptors which will be triggered by the same drug at the same time, so it can have a variety of effects, b) it's possibly not worth it to take it as a preventive measure. That doesn't mean he sa

First, you can manage the cache explicitly. You can load from memory bypassing the cache (if you know you won't need something again), you can prefetch into the cache ahead of time, and you can expunge lines from the cache. Those instr

Just tell everyone you're rich. Tremendously rich. It's much cheaper, and smart wealth building has to start somewhere.

Wanting to be paid under false pretenses is the definition of fraud.

Do we have any estimate on the size of OpenAI top of the line models? Would they also fit in ~512GB of (V)RAM? Also, this whole self hosting of LLMs is a bit like cloud. Yes, you can do it, but it's a lot easier to pay for API access.

Energy is always transported in the insulator, but the bigger point is valid - at high enough frequencies you have to actually think about it.

The bigger problem is that nothing seems to be "interesting", in the sense that nothing leads anywhere with this disorder - no test, and no treatment.

No, only some of the side channel magic doesn't matter if you live in a different virtual memory space. Other past attacks didn't use virtual memory pointers and used physical memory pointers or didn't use any pointers at all

Right, does that include $30 NVIDIA GPUs?
164.
by H8crilA 2y ago
International politics aside, what is this ban exactly about? I doubt that all GPUs or all ASICs will be banned to those countries. Is there some regulatory agency that defines what's an (advanced) AI chip? Do they go by transistor cou

Counter strike?

by H8crilA 2y ago
Yes, but the odds are less than infinite, i.e. the probability is less than 1.0. At least some of such attacks take effort.

Impossible to say, as most people probably don't even know that their private key is stolen. I've personally seen it only once on a real certificate revocation. Yet another reason to have shorter lifespan.

You wrote a lot of words to "explain" that this sort of a circuit is supposedly impossible (no filters here, except for inherent limitations of components): Antenna->Amplify->Rectify->Headphones It's a classic circui

Too many people still don't understand C's greatest failure: the undefined behavior. Most people assume that if you write past an array then the result may be a program crash; but actually undefined behavior includes other wonderf

The US has last partially defaulted on its currency in 1971, surely a change of the design is possible too.

It's a classic undergraduate student mistake when learning computational complexity: "this problem is really hard, but I can represent it as SAT - well, it is NP-hard!". Whereas what you need is to represent SAT as an instanc

Authentic channel is a channel typically uses digital signatures, or MACs, or something like the Dragonfly protocol used for example in WPA3. As you may know the padlock and alerts in browsers are exactly for that reason, to show that a cha

I'm sorry, are you trolling? You pretend to be Bob to Alice, and Alice to Bob, at the same time. Real Alice and Bob never compute the same transcript digests, but it doesn't matter. As post handshake data is flowing you decrypt it

I meant that man in the middle attacks make this effectively unauthenticated.
175.
by H8crilA 2y ago
Maybe I should have added what an encrypted, but not authenticated link looks like, because I meant it in both directions. An example would be doing unauthenticated Diffie-Hellman (without any signatures, or proving knowledge of a secret, o

Authentication, not necessarily encryption. It's a common misconception to think that you need the latter while you actually need the former. And no, encryption does not mean authentication, not at all, usually you can meaningfully mod

I think it's a case where money / influence may indeed be flowing in both directions, but fundamentally the trains are working. Unless they experience the International Compressor Failure Day, or randomly clip GPS coordinates of a

Ugh, I was clearly wrong about the Tomahawk, and I don't know why I thought so. It's probably not a believable story for the adversary, so such self-inhibition cannot yield any strategic results anyways.

I mean you're largely correct. What I'm saying is that there may be a standing order to destroy all ballistic threats, and to exercise a very high degree of caution (high level approvals for each engagement) with any potential air

DSSS is magic. Truly. It's like you can create an ~infinite number of "new frequencies" to send on, each being orthogonal to any other, then chose them cryptographically as needed. With enough care it's possible to make
