It should be noted that there is a real children's book with the same name and a very similar content: The Very Lonely Firefly by Eric Carle. For this particular case, it seems like GPT-3 is paraphrasing the story ...

Just to clarify, this is what C++ templates do, they can create specializations for you, because templates are processed at compile-time. But its not how generics works for most languages (runtime, type erasure, etc).

Many military analysts predict that Russia will come out of the conflict as a much weaker country especially with the recent flood of heavy weapons that are being sent to Ukraine. In comparison NATO expenses are at least 70% of Russia'

Great to see that research in this classic field in image processing remains active. Most image processing research is based on deep learning methods. But it should be noted that the last section contains a comparison with a machine learnin

I think the term « device » is a bit misleading. I should have used client side instead. It doesn’t need to scan your messages between keyboard and encryption, the application handles your messages in plaintext and it can scan them without

The EU has many types of legal acts and the European Commission is responsible for planning and proposing law. Also EU regulations are legal acts that apply automatically to all EU countries without needing to be transposed into national la

Imagine the cost of all the compliance procedures that a tech company should implement in the EU: GDPR, Digital Markets Act, and maybe in the future: Chat control. I think that the EU is putting barriers to entry that can backfire and harm

Just to be fair also to some commenters, I think that the post had been edited after posting from what I remember ... so maybe the older comments are not very relevant.

I've integrated keycloak for SSO in our apps, we have a one-to-one mapping between keycloak realms and the tenants in our apps, works great and it can glue together many disparate IdP/auth solutions: onelogin, LDAP/AD, etc. A

Excuse my ignorance, I keep seeing those hefty fines on big tech companies, but does the EU targets also other types of industries ? For example Visa Mastercard duopoly, etc

Just to correct the info: the invasion of Iraq (a much weaker country) by the combined force of troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland lasted just over one month … but it’s not really comparable situation he

I don’t think it’s a single or even a fixed collection of zero days, it’s an arms race that requires constant updates to the vulnerability catalog in order to be able to exploit the latest fully patched phones.

In discrete mathematics (combinatorics) there are definitely some tools and techniques but seemingly every problem is unique, I’m not quite sure that pattern matching is very useful in this subfield of mathematics ?

The problem with Apple’s approach to CSAM is that they use Neuralhash. Unlike other simple perceptual hashes, the failure modes and the collisions using this method are not well understood. I repeat here my previous comment in another threa

Given that Apple technology uses NN and triplet embedding loss, the exact same techniques used by neural networks for face recognition, so maybe the same shortcomings would apply here. For example a team of researchers found a 'Master

I think that the used technology described in CSAM Detection Technical Summary (the so called NeuralHash) is a really bad idea, basically it uses the output of a neural network (likely a CNN) trained using the now classical triplet loss (se

Thank you, yes we are using this feature but I was thinking of something like creating separate isolated network for each group of machines. For example I manage two different cloud infrastructures that don’t share anything in common. It wo

I use Tailscale every day I like the simplicity of setting up a new node. My problem is that I don’t know how to separate my nodes into isolated groups, so my question is does it support some form of multi-tenancy ?

Thank you for the comment, I wasn’t aware of the BQN project, sounds very interesting to me.

I really like APL but I cannot imagine myself depending on a closed source tool-chain. I've heard that the GNU APL is order of magnitude slower than Dyalog APL, but I can't find a benchmark to confirm that.

Thank you for the link, yes we are aware of this particular issue. For our engine we used only lossless mode and using this mode the decompressed binary image is identical to the original so the described problem cannot occur. Nonetheless

We used it to compress scanned PDFs, using mixed raster techniques. Since the PDF natively supports JPEG2000 we used it for document background compression and we used JBIG2 for text image compression. The compression ratio was impressive b

For WinMerge it should be noted that some web-sites out-there offer winmerge binaries for download and I bet that some of them are bundled with spyware (they are not affiliated with the official version, but even my tech-savvy friend was ab
