Extensions never had to be given unsandboxed access to everything. That's a choice that they actively made.

When did KVM switches get so expensive? Level1Techs doesn't appear to be much more expensive than the competition, but the margin on all of these has to be absurd. They're not a particularly niche product and the BOM cost is only

Trivially the answer is yes by the infinite monkey theorem. If we allow the sampler to pick any token then any stream of arbitrary tokens can be generated. Therefore if an original idea can be represented with written words then a LLM can g

Why are "premium" laptop vendors still putting vents on the bottom of their machines? Did they never try actually putting their laptop on their laps and realise how much that design sucks?

2×? Try 5× for the Noctua NF-A12x25 compared the the Arctic P12 Pro that matches or beats it in most metrics. Which isn't to say the Noctua fan is bad, it's just a luxury product for reasons other than performance.

Last I checked they weren't really any quieter than their competitors at the same airflow and pressure (which is a little subjective because your curve will never match perfectly). They do have a really low number on their specs becaus

It's par for the course in the premium PC parts industry. It's overkill in a way that does not impact performance at all because gamers will pay for that.

The very simplified answer is that the models are first trained on everything and then are later trained more heavily on golden samples with perfect grammar, spelling, etc..

This has come up multiple times before [1], and more generally it's come up hundreds of times with Unix style tools in general. It's always been a stupid idea for every tool to have its own barely documented file format. This woul

I can not figure out what on Earth they've done with these graphs, it almost seems like these are an artists impression of a graph. Looking at the commit graph: Why do commits have big steps followed by slow rolloffs? Why do the steps

Those are legitimate grievances as mentioned, what they are not is Palantir themselves collecting massive amounts of data, which is often what they're portrayed as doing and what the GP asked about.

It's wget for Windows all over again, just like with wget there's absolutely zero arguments shared between the two that do the same thing.

They're not trying. I've seen an advertiser remain active for months with literally tens of thousands of ads where clicking them directly downloads a malicious exe file that most antivirus scanners flag.

See also, Andy Keep's dissertation [1] and his talk at Clojure/Conj 2013 [2]. I think that the nanopass architecture is especially well suited for compilers implemented by LLMs as they're excellent at performing small and wel

Autopilots can. Both on airliners and small planes, although only landing on the latter as far as I know and it's only meant for emergencies. Airbus ATTOL is probably the most interesting of these in that it's visual rather than I

There's also the issue that when something goes wrong, many people will never trust an autopilot again. Just look at how people have reacted to a Waymo running over a cat in a scenario where most humans would have made the same error.

I also use those extensively, they just flow better, especially if you have an "and" in the surrounding sentence.

I agree they found at least some real vulnerabilities. What I think is nonsense is the claim of finding thousands of real critical vulnerabilities and claims that they've found other Linux vulnerabilities that they simply can't ex

They should show this then to demonstrate that it's not something that has already been fully considered. Running LLMs over projects that I'm very familiar with will almost always have the LLM report hundreds of "vulnerabilit

Did you really use a LLM to generate the sample output in your readme instead of just running the application? I noticed the borders were all misaligned and wondered if you had hardcoded the number of spaces, but I looked at the code and yo

I have a suspicion that the accuracy number is the mean of accuracies over all valid floats in the range (or something approximating that), which is going to be weighted towards zero where the accuracy is higher, and perhaps where sqrt near

Historically this was very much in the field of AI, which is such a massive field that saying something uses AI is about as useful as saying it uses mathematics. Since the term was first coined it's been constantly misused to refer to

Fine, the repository gets added because ventoy hijacks the boot process and messes with it, it does not directly add it. The problem is still the same and it would still be a problem even if it didn't break anything: It should not be h
