There should be an opposite thruster for each axis. I wonder if the short bursts were due to heating limits.

The space shuttle, too, was able to communicate. I imagine the smaller the craft the smaller the angle you can "speak" out of and, below a certain size, it just doesn't work.

You can't do software updates securely, but it strikes me that compromising the revocation process is a good thing. Suppose you can use a key to sign a message saying "stop using this". If someone else breaks that key and f

This reminds me of Magicore Anomala, a side scrolling game being made for the 1985 Atari. I wish there was a way to know how people contemporary to the release of the Atari or the N64 would react to seeing these modern engines.

Wouldn't that be the play, though? Get a buttload of bitcoin, turn it into real money, then destroy bitcoin. If you found a break in bitcoin you wouldn't rely on keeping your wealth in bitcoin and then hoping nobody else discovers

I think translation should be the only exception. It might even need to be, given how all automated translators use LLMs these days. The only alternative I see is to have people post in whatever language they're most comfortable in and

Conservation of angular momentum. Once everything is in it, and it's spun up, it won't stop.

You have to generate random bytes with sufficient entropy to avoid collisions and you have to have a consistent way to serialize it to a string. There's already a standard for this, it's called UUID.

Now that Google and Apple have to (more-or-less) allow other app stores, I wonder if Valve is bankrolling FEX with the intent of selling games on mobile?

As a power user I agree, but how do you avoid it being like the Vista UAC popups? Everyone expects software to auto update these days and it's easy enough to social engineer someone into accepting.

As long as the wreck doesn't go past the exit they, technically, haven't missed it yet.

Does neutron radiation have the same degradation? I know there's neutron embrittlement for metals but do more plastic materials suffer the same?

Which is why I mentioned that carriers or Google might have that as a requirement for partnering with them. iPhones are rarely stolen these days because there's no resale market for them (to the detriment of third party repairs). It be

My understanding is there was a bug that let you wipe and re-enable a phone that had been disabled due to theft. This prevents a downgrade attack. It's in OnePlus's interest to make their phones less appealing for theft, or, in th

Lots of CPUs that have secure enclaves have a section of memory that can be written to only once. It's generally used for cryptographic keys, serials, etcetera. It's also frequently used like this.

You can't do it as part of whatever's calling it because this changes the sampler. The grammar constraints what tokens the sampler is allowed to consider, only passing tokens that are valid by the grammar.

Ah, the Zap Brannigan school.

I'd assume that's just an optimization? Why bother sorting the entire list if you're just gonna pick the top token, linear time versus whatever your sort time is. Having said that, of course it's only as deterministic as

It'll definitely charge faster, if only because it's drawing less power to stay up and getting closer. The only question is, is it like 10% or 100% faster?

Although there are some places you want that! WireGuard is often described as cryptographically opinionated because it doesn't even bother trying to negotiate crypto primitives which makes it immune to downgrade attacks. Though, to be

For some reason I'm reading emphasis on "just any" in their statement "not hosted in just any data center". I feel like it's at a data center run by this long term contributor.

In some respects, having your entire reputation on the line matters just as much. And sure, someone might have a server cage in their residence, or maybe they run their own small business and it's there. But the vagueness is troubling,

I don't think he claimed that "some guy setting up a server rack" is similar to a rapist. I think he's blaming the corporations. I don't think that individuals can have that big of an effect on the environment (outl

So LLMs predict the next token. Basically, you train them by taking your training data that's N words long and, for X = 1 to N, and optimizing it to predict token X using tokens 1 to X-1. There's no reason you couldn't genera

So learnable, in this context, rhymes with reverse-engineerable?
