I believe the issue here is that, simply due to how these products came to market, "AI" is extremely vague, and slapping "AI" on every single thing makes it almost a negative signal for quality. For most users "AI&q

Honestly, translations of fiction are themselves creative works, and the translator needs to really understand both cultures and needs to write cohesively throughout the work. I'm not sure this is even really a question of "can it

It's all extremely dystopian and I don't see how things improve. The handful of megacorps that have access to the compute and troves of stolen IP to train their secret models on have no incentive to contribute back. They say their

What hubris on HN, to downvote this very reasonable comment. A year ago I had no use for any LLM-driven tools, and today I can do my entire job without writing a single line of code. If that happened in a year, what can we expect in 5? I ha

The problem for poor SBF is that he donated to the President's opponents, so presumably he'll need to pay a higher rate for his pardon.

I think there's probably something to token use as some kind of metric. If you aren't using these tools much, you're definitely not going to remain a top contributor. The world is evolving quickly here. But it's just one

It's reasonable to consider the counterfactual but it seems like the closest parallel here is Pakistan, which pulled off the gambit successfully. The years leading up to and immediately following successful acquisition were tenuous and

Thanks, that fills some gaps I had in understanding. So this person's claim to have a TPM+PIN attack might imply they are able to use the same LPE to get a (PIN-encrypted) key from the TPM then they can simply brute force?

I'm not a Windows expert but based on my understanding of how MS does this, something doesn't add up here. If you use bitlocker in the default, insecure way, where the TPM is configured to hand the decryption keys over to the enro

by JeremyNT 5mo ago
The basic design of the most common mode of operation for bitlocker, where the TPM hands over the deception keys to the drive when Windows boots without requiring a PIN or anything, indicates how unserious they are.

Well Chromebooks are primarily EDU products yet still marketed and sold direct to consumers. Presumably school districts are just going to see different marketing.

If you ever talk to them, they rationalize all the scams and self dealing by claiming that "both sides are corrupt," and they like the guy because he's just better at the grift.

This is roughly what I was assuming but of course the big caveat here is that they were already using the existing LLM driven tooling on an extensively audited codebase. So while anthropic's marketing may be hype there just wasn't
