I've been advocating for a statistical honeypot model for a while now. This is a much more robust anti cheat measure than even streaming/LAN gaming provides. If someone figures out a way to obtain access to information they should

It's almost certainly not quadratic at 1M. This would be wildly infeasible at scale. 10^6^2 = 10^12. That's a trillion things. They are probably doing something like putting the original user prompt into the model's environme

You have to look beyond the audio engineering on this one. Using constrained mediums on purpose is often how the best artistic expression is achieved. For example, if the artist knows their channel is noisy and band-limited they can get a

I've been avoiding context beyond 100k tokens in general. The performance is simply terrible. There's no training data for a megabyte of your very particular context. If you are really interested in deep NIAH tasks, external symbo

iPod Shuffle + Shure SE215 was the pinnacle of portable audio. The ritual of maintaining a separate playlist that would actually fit made it intentional. Allowing Spotify to slip into an infinite stream of slop is so easy these days.

DSSS is sort of both security and obscurity at the same time. The very act of spreading your spectrum out via a secret key also has the effect of reducing the amplitude of your transmission, ideally below the noise floor. A receiver on the

Yes. The power walls are like cheap UPS topology. You could still get whacked with a transient from the grid before the ATS decides to island the house.

The bottleneck is trust and security. I'd rather defenestrate 3rd party libraries with a local instance of copilot than send all my secret sauce to some cloud/SaaS system. Put differently, this system already exists and is in heav

If your public interface address can change, it does dramatically reduce the value of a purely IP-addressed host. But I don't think it eliminates it entirely. With a dynamic IP you can still detect a change, reissue a cert for the new

Quaternions break down for other situations. They cannot represent a rotation greater than 360 degrees. In an engine like Unity (which stores rotation as quats), you can use arbitrary Euler angles in the editor and it will work fine, but th

You can issue a TLS certificate with a SAN that is a literal IPv4 address. You do not need a domain to serve TLS to clients. It definitely helps with the UX, but it's not mandatory for the browsers and other web tech to function.

Yes the point is to simply discover the public ip you present as on the internet. It's not a particularly hard problem to solve, but you often can't know your public interface just from inside the machine. Being behind a NAT with

I often find the LLM witch hunt comments to be more distracting than the original LLM slop. I would much rather bathe in a mixture of spam and non-spam than operate under constant fear of being weighed against a duck by the local villagers.

Most of modern machine learning is effectively linear algebra. We can achieve semantic search over encrypted vectors if the encryption relies on similar principles.
