I think with a book or movie, a lot of the emotional reaction actually comes from the work of the human that created it. You can feel the emotion of the creator and the story they set out to tell and have some connection with them. You make

Nah, you just open source it in a broken state without anything that had separate licensing, so nobody is happy and the law is followed.

Ha! Well, at least that actually increases my confidence that VeraCrypt is secure.

This looking so much like an intentional backdoor just makes me wonder even more about TrueCrypt's sudden recommendation in 2014 that everyone switch to BitLocker. This particular backdoor didn't exist then (it's only Win11 a

Good point. Same problem as with AI art and writing; we actually appreciate the human striving.

That makes sense, although in that case personally I would have named it Windows Linux Subsystem.

by Nition 5mo ago
Is this really true, or is it just something people have repeated enough times like 'nuclear Ghandi'? I mainly ask because Microsoft has another product called Linux Integration Services: https://www.microsoft.com/

It's a Linux subsystem for Windows so we'll call it Windows Subsystem For Linux.

And now those words are infusing the training runs of LLMs as well. The words of the extrovert who's already outside living life aren't written down.

It certainly doesn't increase my confidence that if they do ever create a superintelligence, that it won't have some weird unforseen preference that'll end up with us all dead.

Continuing this conversation, I'm trying to convince TALKIE about computers. USER: I wonder if we could build a calculating machine that would be close enough to perfectly reliable that we would not have to verify the results. For exam

USER: Do you think it will be possible in the future to use machines, powered by electricity, to do the kind of mathematical calculations that computers do today? TALKIE-1930: It is not impossible that in the future mathematics may be compu

I vividly remember my friend and I first thinking of this question during a sleepover at around 13 years old, as we stayed awake late talking about what seemed at the time like the deep philosophies of life. This isn't to say that it&#

I wouldn't say they necessarily aren't personally concerned as well. I think quite often if people disagree with their employer but don't want to lose their jobs, it's more amenable to phrase disagreement like they have

Ultimately even with that tech, you can still take a photo of an AI generated scene. Maybe coupled with geolocation data in the signature or something it might work.

I feel it's too much of a perfect match to be generated from the model's memory. It's pixel perfect. Gotta be a mistake.

The links Gemini references are also to articles about the Skoda bell, so it's just a circular reference to the same claim anyway.

That diagram is pure marketing nonsense. The real chart is on page 10 of their paper[1]. It shows a modest ~3dB less attenuation around 800Hz across several brands. [1] https://cdn.skoda-storyboard.com/2026/04/Skod

I'd say 'MIDI music' became a catch-all for music that's represented as data that is in turn triggering samples, rather than being a pure audio file. Might be actual MIDI or might be tracker music etc.

In light of "AI singer now occupies eleven spots on iTunes singles chart" being on the front page of Hacker News right now, I wanted to share this related post from prolific Australian musician Nick Cave. It mirrors some of my own

Just in case you didn't read the full article, this is how they describe finding the bugs in the Linux kernel as well. Since it's a large codebase, they go even more specific and hint that the bug is in file A, then try again with

Yes, in fact I had considered adding your same thought to my initial comment. It's not impossible that a smart tech person might be able to improve the existing systems. The problem is the arrogance of not even checking what existing s

Thank you for providing your aviation knowledge to this discussion. What a classic example of tech people thinking that because they're smart, every other industry must be dumb and they can just jump in and fix it.

It's such an interesting premise that I was especially disappointed to start reading and see all the usual signs of it being written by ChatGPT.
