I have seen SonarQube do somewhat okay in this role; you may need some configuring for its detections to set what matters for you, but that applies for everything, doesn't it?

The median hacker would likely have something available with proper internet connectivity, they are substantially different from the median user. But many of the solutions mentioned in the article and comments will effectively use some &q

There's no need to involve carbon here - there is a reason to adjust the time of power consumption due to cost, as at least in certain places the price of electricity during a single day can vary between near-zero to very expensive. An

Automated detection of risky code can be very useful, but it inherently lacks the capacity to differentiate whether a particular case of bad practice actually is a flaw or not. For a simplified example, usage of eval() in many dynamic langu

Wait some years until mobile hardware is sufficiently powerful to run similar models locally. Or don't do this at all, and rely on cloud models like most other solutions - running things locally has some benefits for privacy, control a

Oh I definitely have cases where I'm quite sure that I have had something in my notes and it takes quite an effort to find them. It is probably relevant to note that I have more than a decade of notes, and more than half of them are no

Assume that both devices are behind a different NAT with no inbound ports publicly accessible, which is a very common scenario - e.g. a phone behind a cell provider's carrier-grade NAT and a computer on a firewalled corporate network.

It also requires running a ssh server on the PC, and the even harder issue of having an externally accessible IP address that will allow ssh connections to the PC from the internet - I can do the former but I'm not entirely sure if the

If that's what you need, it would make all sense to redo the instruction fine-tuning of the model, instead of fiddling with prompt or processing to work around the model settings that go counter to what you want.

The pitfall is that in case of significant changes to the industry it may become politically impossible to make certain unpleasant decisions - e.g. if the industry gets a new option for automation which enables reducing costs through laying

People can afford "more house" than ever - if we look at things like square foot of housing per capita, then people in USA currently can afford almost twice as much housing space as 50 years ago in 1970s.

It's not that uncommon to have a workflow where the webpage design gets built and negotiated with stakeholders/customers as a series of photoshop images, and when they're approved, it's forwarded to developers to make

For all you know, since it works not on text but on a sequence of token IDs, perhaps these two are actually different things, one is a token representing "22" (which exists in ChatGPT vocabulary) and the other is two separate toke

The pattern that I have seen in consulting is that management has already heard of that feedback, but don't consider it credible for various political reasons (and they're not generally wrong in many cases), so when the same fee

All the trial cases which went through the courts e.g. Sony vs Tenenbaum also were judged that the downloading part was also infringing activity, it's just that those defendants did both downloading and [offering for] distribution.

Sure, it was quite widespread in early 2000s, with tens of thousands people sued. While the main poster cases like the $675000 award of Sony vs Tenenbaum also included assertions of distribution (AFAIK not proving any specific upload, but o

Kind of, but the requirements on such a system are far stricter than what we get (and expect) from certificate authorities. For example, the CA system doesn't fail in its goals if I publish (no matter if accidentally or incidentally)

Our projects have a certain need for documentation that describes the exact meaning of various data fields in files/APIs/DB entries, etc. We have decided that the best place for the "single source of truth" for that is

Because a big part of that value comes only after - and only because - whoever registered the name invested into that brand, sometimes by continued business and reputation, sometimes by marketing. For example, the name ycombinator.com has

The definition of a "copy" requires it to be fixed in a tangible, durable medium. This law has explicitly chosen to make a strong, major black&white distinction between intangible things and things that are fixed e.g. on paper

I strongly disagree, whatever process we have should work also for 'hostile' vendors and allow for "the community" to verify and assert vulnerabilities even if the vendor denies them, attempts to take legal action, etc.

Kind of the whole point is that we don't want domain registrars to be able to extract "the value of the domain", quite the opposite, we could want to auction for the lowest bids for running the technical infrastructure to s

That's the whole point - don't treat "ccTLDs" as a single category, and the diference there shouldn't be between "exotic ccTLDs" and "common ccTLDs" but rather " your ccTLD" and "

Any idea of trying to prove that a random video isn't fake by crypto verification is very, very brittle - the trust relies on having almost 100% certainty of key secrecy from a global, heterogenous system of low-margin commodity manufa

If we're technical, there is a substantial legal difference between your brain and an AI system, because the criteria for what counts as a copy is defined (in US) as "“Copies” are material objects, other than phonorecords, in whic

You're conflating different matters here by merging together "legal/illegal" and "successfully prosecuted" - in general, there is a big gap of things prohibited by law which can't and won't ever be pr

Being semantically equivalent is not sufficient, because performance matters - concat(a,b) is just "{a}{b}" if and only if a compiler is sufficiently smart to reduce it to the minimum of operations needed, avoiding having to parse
