I always got the impression that C2PA is a way to say "this photo came from the BBC (for example) and they've only signed it because they've verified the supplied edit chain". It's always been obvious that one could

You don't need to jailbreak it. Swipe from the top and press the big button labelled "dark mode".

LLMs are particularly strong for this because it really doesn't matter if the code is a hacked together mess. Most user configs are already like that anyway.

Testing in that way will only tell you if the two devices work with the given cable. It won't tell you what sort of margins you have. Not all devices are made equal. A device isn't even necessarily better if it works with one cabl

At a minimum, if plugging it in to a device and measuring waveforms is good enough for your application, you need an oscilloscope with 10 GHz bandwidth or so (don't quote me on that, I don't remember the max speed used by USB). Sc

I also agree it's stupid when google puts UI over the webpage, but at least in that case they're not going out of their way to do it over an existing alternative. For anyone not aware of how bad google is getting about this: Did y

Artists will at least show up further down the list usually. With songs it often just will not show the song at all when the title is an exact match, it will instead fill the entire results list with "lyric matches" that I'm

The "gotcha" here, if you want to call it that, is that the picking the next token based on probabilities (either in training or in the sampler) is not an argument that LLMs are inherently flawed, especially when one reduces a LLM

The natural next argument that I see a lot is "well it's still all probabilistic", which is technically true. However, don't the atoms that make up the cells that make up a human move around and interact based on probabi

Sure, but it doesn't really fit there as a joke, it looks like it's just meant to be part of what they were trying to say.

I suspected as much, and that brings us to the second issue where if we use a cohort of judges then the model that likes it's own code the most still wins.

Here's the question I ask about every project that claims to make a LLMs output so much better: If it works so well then why would the model provider not just put it in the system prompt? Or in the case of interactive skills, why would

by LiamPowell 3mo ago
This is not actually what the reviewer prompt says, or perhaps it is, I don't know since they don't make it public. I'm just pointing out how it seems like a bad idea to ask a LLM to make a subjective judgement on things like

Most ad blockers do already use MV3, uBlock Origin is the only one still using V2 as far as I know. There are some drawbacks to V3, however none prevent creating an effective ad blocker, as demonstrated by the fact that many exist. Though s

OP, I assume your comment[1] is getting flagged because of the obvious LLM usage. No one wants to interact with a comment that's not written by a human. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48473753

That don't fall back to Opus if their classifier thinks you might be working on anything that might be a competitor's product. It silently injects instructions into the prompt to sabotage your work. Read the policy above, it'

Maybe, but they certainly used it for marketing too. At the time they contacted a bunch of publications and gave them access but told them they could only share snippets of the output [1]. The only reason to set restrictions like that is ma

I don't think I've ever seen LLM output as bad as this output. They sometimes write like that, but not every second sentence.
