OMG! Just yesterday I published my reworked GoNEAT library that implements HyperNEAT combined with phased search and backpropagation [1]. But it's kind of impossible to enter for me because of the hard pytorch requirements :( would lov

People using LLMs not in a gruntwork manner tend to confuse style and tone with facts and knowledge. LLMs are great to make drafts if you give them the source materials. They're great at validation if you give them the tools. They are

As a German I find it interesting that foreigners think that this is a cultural thing. It is not. It's the law. In Germany you are not allowed to photograph people without their written and signed consent. Any conference or event count

After I've received a comment about that my writing style sounds like AI generated text, I decided that I want to sound differently when I communicate with others. Applying the logic of reading AI generated text leads to human imitatin

I took this comment as advice to go outside and touch some grass :D Maybe I am using agentic environments a little too much lately? In the case of the weblog articles I wrote everything myself first and let the agents check against missed f

Oh my gosh, it's so freakin pwetty! Kudos, this looks like the shaders took a long while to get right. Love the art style, keep it going!

I think the only possibility that comes to mind is creating an ebpf module that sandboxes all filesystem calls and trampolines all ld_open calls. But then you would have to provide massive amounts of patched/"safe" variants o

Do you have that bot ASN list somewhere? I am asking because I maintain botnet ASNs that are spamming/phishing/scamming our customers, and this would be a nice complementary category for it. Most often I realized that a lot of tho

Came here to write this. Built my own harness with much better sandboxing, because I am using abliterated models for the implementations and they sure try to escape out of their sandboxes. A lot. The sandbox from other harnesses like e.g. O

you are talking about the effect, not the cause. Sites are slow because with all that excess performance they do more tracking, instead of keeping the website as-is. Because that's the only thing business managers can come up with in t

> period of great homogenization It's called alignment. And that's the correct word for it in my opinion. The most important part is that we have to find a way to tackle the knowledge enshittification problem. Because now that

This was a pretty awesome read, I liked it a lot! What I found out during malware analysis is that LLM agents have a couple of quirks that you can solve by: - optimize for short lived agent workflows - use symbols as function contracts - ma

What is the difference of MHS to MCP when it comes to features? The whole text reads like everything is just a gRPC call that could've also been implemented with an MCP based wrapper.

LoRa is quite nice for this in the lower frequency bands, and the bandwidth should suffice for this sorta thing. And the tech is super cheap to build and maintain, both hardware and software is open source.

You're not the only one. I thought so too. I just ran it the last couple days extensively to verify my data training pipeline I'm building for my gonano SIMD port. Given that the speed records and the runs are sponsored by the sam

With a normal Firefox on desktop on Linux, I get unsolvable recaptchas all the time, especially on cloudflare pages. Ironically, if I fake instead a chromium to be on Windows (UA and Sec-CH headers), I am allowed most of the time even thoug

Your misjudgement comes from not seeing the economic incentive here. The web as a surveillance mechanism is just way too juicy to let go. As of now, pretty much all economies depend on it, just from an economic numbers calculation. Mind you

I actually had to use a similar hack there due to the limitation that go test compilates cannot spawn themselves where I needed to have an environment variable with the actual binary prebuilt before the tests run. Took me a while to underst

With unit tests you gotta be careful though, oftentimes LLMs skip implementations with mockups that just say "not implemented yet" or similar and then the unit tests become pointless because they start to only test internal struct

So your problem is the default/zero values of properties? In Go the convention is kind of to have a constructor pattern with a NewStruct(...) *Struct method that initializes all properties. Also can't you build your own validator

I'm working on using the OpenZIM format to archive the web and to make the wikis seedable (and locally hostable for LLMs) so that the ongoing cat and mouse game anubis defense can stop. My hope is that with the torrent protocol we can

You should make a pokedex out of this! Imagine scanning the temple with your smartphone (taking a picture with gps data) to see details about the temples. Would be so cool. Then make them into categories like Water Temple, and like a stat q
