Name one that doesn’t have an AWS-style per-query cost. (There might well be a nice one, but I haven’t found it yet.)

Yeah, I get it. Their code quality is not great. They do a bad job of making it robust. There's a history here. I'm still curious if this particular issue actually has a material effect on the protocol. I found a little bit

I’m not nitpicking a weird edge case. I’m nitpicking a completely unsound inference. Even if Facebook indeed accounts for 79% of total instances of children being trafficked, it does not follow at all that removing Facebook from the picture

No, the article really doesn’t explain. It explains why the implementation can produce a fixed secret under malicious input, and that there’s an RFC saying “don’t implement it like this” but not what effect it has on the security of the sys

What does any of this have to do with Optimus? Driving a car by sticking a humanoid robot in the driver seat would be amusing but is a terrible idea.

If this were done in a less ridiculous manner, it might actually have the desired effect. Make student loans dischargable in bankruptcy (just like any other loan) and don’t give them government backing. Then private lenders could decide how

Then little toddler LLM will announce something like “I implemented what you requested and we’re all done. You can run the lint now.” And I’ll reply “do it yourself.” I can only assume that everyone reporting amazing success with agent sw

My personal experience is that it’s worthwhile to put instructions, user-manual style, into the context. These are things like: - How to build. - How to run tests. - How to work around the incredible crappiness of the codex-rs sandbox. I al

Something akin to reciprocity still applies, no? You have a tiny rubidium atom, way too small to couple particularly strongly to the electromagnetic field at visible wavelengths. So it has a low cross-section for absorbing visible light.

Right. I’ve never heard hum from a loop in the amplified wiring to a passive speaker. I did do the math, and it is certainly possible to arrange to couple in enough power to hear it without amplification, but this isn’t the norm.

One should be very careful when discussing diffraction to make sure you’re about what you think you’re talking about. Case in point: Figure 5. If you look at the drawing, and you contemplate the line segments you’ve drawn, you may find tha

I would check your “slightly”. If I have an algorithm that operates on an n-element data structure through a helper function (this includes almost any nontrivial program - think managing caches, small databases or tables, lists of clients,

Where do you live? In the US, there a lot of widely available brands of UL-listed (or equivalent) wire with clearly marked specs and the cross section in ridiculous units of AWG. If it says it’s copper and it’s not an outrageous counterfe

I would be amused if the actual reason for upscaling is that a 256x192 display is hard to source and that the firmware is partially shared between models with a display and models without one.

Hah, that AM-receiving cable was at a theater and only a couple hundred feet long. In general, with low-level analog audio and non-ridiculous lengths, additive noise effects are likely to become audible long before attenuation or especially

One could modify this experiment to have very obvious effects. For example: - Run the amplifier output through a banana or mud. Even if this somehow works and you can hear the sound, you’ll probably smell it as you cook and/or elect

I’ve found that GPT-5.2 is shockingly good at producing code that compiles, despite also being shockingly good at not even trying to compiling it and instead asking me whether I want it to compile the code.

And what do those tools access? How? If I ask the agent to edit a CSV file, what’s the actual workflow? What prevents it from editing a different file due to a prompt injection attack?

Suppose you have n elements to sort and you don't have duplicates. Each element is a string of L fixed size symbols (bits, bytes, whatever). And suppose that there are at least n/10 unique elements. You may replace 10 with any

I'm getting tired of these vibe-designed security things. I skimmed the "design". What is sandboxed from what? What is the threat model? What does it protect against, if anything? What does it fail to protect against?
