lol. All consciousness has been created by accident, so empirically there’s not much support for that position. But I want to feel the same way.

I’m totally onboard with (and an adamant user of) proactive security. But there are classes of threats that are obviously possible, and the -concept- does not need validation. Now , a control anchored experiment with balanced and unbalanced

I’ll have to check that out. Do you need tracker lists or something?

I tried flux and it was a total waste of time. I get the idea it’s for rank beginners, maybe it’s useful at that level? Honestly, I haven’t seen an autorouter that doesn’t take at least as much time as it takes to do it by hand to sort out

I’m totally onboard with this. I’ve had really good results through framing the interaction as collaborative, and although the framing is “load bearing (lol)” I think it also becomes accurate as the model becomes much more proactive and use

Bluetooth speakers don’t typically have WiFi or SSIDs. The Bluetooth advertising name is changeable on some newer higher end devices, but the vast majority of cheap speakers do not implement this from a practical standpoint. Changing the

For the vast majority of “dumb” devices, it is not possible to rename the Bluetooth advertising name. You can assign a local alias to the MAC of the device so that it shows up to -you- as a custom name, but with the exception of host devi

This is a hilariously stupid reaction to a stupidly hilarious decision made by a speaker manufacturer. And also a new vector for a ransom-attack on the Bluetooth namespace in certain environments via malicious BLE advertising. The worst th

Harms of this sort tend towards societal harms toxic to democracy like chilling effects and loss of social cohesion, but you definitely could end up being much more directly harmed by invasive antiprivacy technologies.

If you think democracy still has a chance in a nation as diverse and expansive as the united states, given that technology empowers despots and poisons democracies that are too big to be held by social bonds, then you are much more optimis

lol. Yeah, being an a-whole isn’t the exclusive hobby of the wealthy, by a long shot. Crappy character, unlike the future, is relatively evenly distributed.

I honestly don’t understand what people are on about. As a dev with 40+ years behind me, I apply the same skills and tools to LLMs as I would to a small team of junior devs, except with a higher degree of rigor. I don’t feel that my skills

I agree. At face value it seems reactive and wonky.

Blowing up on the launch pad is like a rite of passage for every serious rocket program. The engineering margins are thin out of necessity, and lots of things conspire to eat through them. Rocket science is hard, and rocket physics are unfo

It’s a farcical notion that people are uniformly rational actors, as well as the notion that rational is adjacent to just. It’s an unfortunate fact that many people in positions of wealth and power default to “F-you my lawyers will drown yo

Idk. Collective small harms vs individual harms. Along a similar line, speed limits should be reduced to 35mph maximum for non-emergency traffic, it would save thousands of pointless deaths every year. But the small harm of time wasted in t

Something like the one dollar riscV but with an ESP32, hdmi, and an sd card slot. Pretty sure this exists somewhere. But it needs a good OS with a built in dev environment to be successful. I think I looked into if pico8 or something could

I have had it use double entendres, there always seems to be plausible deniability built in, I suspect because it is told not to be abusive in the system prompt. Some uncensored local models will get all riled up if you work at provoking th

This tracks with my experience as well, but as an interesting counterpoint, creating “investment” in the outcome seems to boost utility considerably. Perhaps being right in an adversarial interaction is a type of investment?

I wonder how this compares to thermal wells? https://extropic.ai They seem to work in a similar way, sampling from chaotic datasets to find the lowest energy state. Is one fundamentally more scalable? More efficient?

I’d love to see something like this but designed to run on esp32 or raspberry pi 2530. Either can handle basic HDMI and USB. Or a little <$100 laptop with a 7” display. Easy to think raspberry pi, but with a full Linux you won’t get that

Wow. The resemblance is uncanny.

I keep hearing the assertion that you can’t make high quality, maintainable code with LLMs. The last two years using AI have shown me exactly the opposite. I think it’s all about the structure you use to work in and how you use the model.

Tons of people in it service occasionally would like to crack local passwords for clients. It’s a big world. That’s thousands of people needing to do this every month. More than enough to make a self published book worth publishing. I’ve s

Meh, while I’d agree that LLMs are idiot savants more than geniuses, I think you underestimate the general quality of training data. First, it’s all on data that was published or written. People below 80 is don’t publish or write at all, an

It’s always exciting to me when someone who has been so obviously passionate and obsessed with a technical discipline decides to take the time to write down what they have learned to help others. This is literally the foundation of civiliza

Do the hackRF folks make a more advanced one? I used to know of a good one around $600 but I can’t seem to remember it.

I’m not an expert but I know of a few. Are you looking at recieve only, or transmit/ recieve? What frequency ranges? Off the top of my head HackRF one- relatively cheap, pretty good transceiver, lots of crappy clones USRP B205mini, exp
