The ergonomics of unsafe rust are abysmal. It would have been 10 times better if they just let you do inline C instead.

It's not the models, it's the tooling. Models are just weights and an architecture spec. The tooling is how to load and execute the model on hardware. Some UX-oriented tooling has sort of solved this problem and will run on AMD: L

That would be part of the cost benefit analysis. And you would be surprised how "trustworthy" these ransomware groups are. Probably because publishing the data is a hassle they would rather do without, and finding actual buyers fo

Tragedy of the commons. It's irrelevant to the extorted company whether or not it becomes more common in the future, they have a much bigger problem now. The reason they didn't pay is because they conducted a cost benefit analysis

unless you have a specific use case where you need to run a server through your vpn this isn't as much of a problem as you think it is. torrents for example have hole punching functionality built into uTP where reachable peers help unr

If you asked to do something fishy then document it and consult a lawyer. Don't do anything that is above the bare minimum required to cover your ass. You get nothing for doing the "right thing" and are likely to be penalized

Wireguard would be an answer here, IP's are authenticated with ECC keys.

What about the smart TVs? There have to be a lot of them, do all of them run JS? Also what kind of environments are executing the JS? If Google begins to employ browser fingerprinting that may become relevant.

You do not use this thing for SMS spamming as a primary objective. Actual phone farms are for when you need actual phones, such as to run apps. Sophisticated actors likely roll their own virtualization (w/ masking) solutions.

Why are they using the web target? YouTube has multiple other attack vectors which have no javascript barriers. Plenty of devices have YouTube players which are not being capable of being updated and which must work, exploit those APIs.

What is the technical challenge behind stealthily blocking ads? Making the backend unaware if ads are actually being seen or not - just fetched. This may even serve as some accelerationism for invasive web tech where ad middlemen may resort

Nuclear power capital costs should be cheap too. The incentives of the regulators are not aligned with the public. Regulators don't care about cheap electricity, they aren't going to get anything for that. They only care about red

It's not really. Any shared resource between containers or the kernel itself is an attack surface. Both options have a very wide attack surface - the kernel api. Nothing really beats virtualization in security, the surface shrinks to p

Such a person should not be interacting with an LLM then. And failure to abide by this rule is either the fault of his caregivers, his own or no one's.

Would it be any different if it was an offline model? When someone uses a tool and surrenders their decision making power to the tool, shouldn't they be the ones solely responsible? The liability culture only gives lawyers more money a

There is a reason why LLM's are architected the way they are and why thinking is bolted on. The architecture has to allow for gradient descent to be a viable training strategy, this means no branching (routing is bolted on). And the tr

The latter attestation will be completely useless for privacy.

It would appear most of the people commenting on the subject don't even understand it. With privacy preserving cryptography the tokens are standalone and have no ties to the identity that spawned them. No enforcement for abuse is possi

Such schemes have the fatal flaw that they can be trivially abused. All you need are a couple of stolen/sold identities and bots start proving their humanness and adultness to everyone.

This arms race will have a terminus. The bots will eventually be indistinguishable from humans. Some already are.

Audit or threat of audit is the mechanism of enforcement and that is all that ever matters.

The connotation of a non-profit is that it's being audited. It would be extremely silly to suggest otherwise.

Can Anna's Archive claim to be a non-profit when it's effectively an illegal enterprise with unknown controllers? They are even offering decent bounties: https://software.annas-archive.li/AnnaArchivist/annas-a
