Nobody said anything about “going for slop.” You can watch today’s models actively trying to check themselves. Just use Google’s AI mode, for example. It’s far from perfect—it doesn’t fact-check every single claim, nor does it correctly und

A “hallucination” is an authoritative counterfactual statement returned as a response. Why do you think it is impossible to engineer an LLM (by which I am including tool usage and RAG) that catches and prevents such statements?

Ok, but an RCE in WP Core still seems pretty dang valuable, especially if you want to hit non-commercial websites that are less likely to have as many plugins installed?

Aren’t WP exploits valuable for watering hole attacks?

A couple years ago Apple Maps did not know that roads in downtown SF were closed for Bay to Breakers. Thankfully the cops were still setting up barriers and I was able to weave around them to reach the Bay Bridge. This kind of thing happens

Nowadays it’s common for SSAO to actually do local radiosity approximation via ray marching. But back in the day when this article was written, that was too expensive so you approximated it by detecting sharp transitions in the depth buffer

I’m not on the ARC Raiders art team, nor have I even played the game. But I can say with some confidence that what people react to in computer graphics isn’t realism per se, it’s verisimilitude .

There’s a relevant structural difference between 401(k)s/IRAs and pensions. You get to choose how to invest your personal retirement accounts, while pensions are institutional investors with active managers. An individual retiree can a

And they have hiked the prices of the current gen very late in the cycle to reflect component costs.

Yeah, that is what I was referring to about the lack of detail on restructuring. I want to know if people are losing their jobs and/or titles are being cancelled as part of these sales.

Any details about the studio spin-outs? The rumors were that Double Fine etc. would be closed, but all we know now is that some of them are being sold to management and others are being sold to other investors. Nothing about any commensurat

The entire LLMaaS industry is priced below cost. Even if the marginal cost of electricity and bandwidth to produce one token is less than the price of that token, the amortized infrastructure and R&D costs make the entire venture unprof

TPMS has been mandatory in the U.S. since 2007. It turns out riding on under-inflated tires is dangerous, and people don’t regularly check their tire pressure. My car will not exceed a certain speed if TPMS is malfunctioning.
