Sounds perfect. I didn't know of this, but I think I'll start here.

This looks great. I have a use case for something similar: detecting calls to the file system. Lots of code I've inherited has a habit of loading configuration from some random network share, then failing when that config got moved or

It sounds like he needs to get the victim to ask ChatGPT to visit the malicious website. So there is one extra step needed to exploit this > All a target needed to do was instruct the LLM to view a web link that hosted a malicious image.

That's not a convention, it's a specification for how Google Chrome does it. And it's not even a full specification. Several of its 13 steps link to other documents that need to be read to implement the spec fully. Step 12 re

This doesn't match the phrasing in the presentation, I would expect "the graph has diameter 20" to be defined without any reference to the weights of the edges (whether in flying time, total time, cost...) But it's defin

by dmurray 2y ago
Thinking about it, I bet you can prove this is the topology. If the graph is generally densely connected (almost all nodes have 3+ destinations) then the diameter can't be that high compared to the size of the graph. Proof left to the

The next line specifies: > typically this will be a small airport in Alaska or Canada to another small airport in Africa or Indonesia It's still mind blowing to me. Surely any Alaskan airport would be within 5 hops of Anchorage (or

I don't get the conclusion. The two blue graphs (academic psi and lay psi) look like each other, and the two yellow graphs (academic skeptics and lay skeptics) look like each other. The data show the opposite of the headline: academic

Hitting Escape in normal mode takes you out of editing the cell and into "notebook manipulation mode" instead. This is so counter to the way Vim normally works - Esc should leave you in normal mode no matter where you started - th

It's true at some points in the parameter space, not at others. If you never brake at all, starting to brake more aggressively would be great! Once you've tuned your parameters to be driving pretty safely and minimizing accidents,

Debt and GDP are measured in different units (dollars, and dollars per year) so talking about a "debt-to-GDP ratio of 100%" is misleading because it sounds like there's some kind of threshold there. In fact a debt-to-GDP of 1

It obviously wouldn't be ethical for Waymo to brake aggressively just to catch out humans tailgating them too closely (at no risk to Waymo, after all, since the insurance of the car behind them will pay for damage and let's say th

If you brake more aggressively, you will be involved in more accidents, but in fewer accidents that are considered your fault (courts and insurance companies will almost always find against the rear-ender). You might also be involved in les

It makes it all sound like a problem of engineering, not of physics. It's really hard to vapourize all that rock and suck it out to the surface with a vacuum. But it's really hard in the sense that the vaporised rock might reconde

There's also `git rebase --onto`, which effectively does the reverse - you tell git you've already rebased the part of this branch that overlapped with the "intermediate" branch, and it just needs to take care of the res

It's an odd choice to break backwards compatibility by removing them from the beta namespace. Why not keep them available in both indefinitely?

Compared to maintaining 200 lines of code? I'd at least be waiting for the next feature request of "can we just add one more operation to match()" before saying we needed to move our whole storage layer to something else.

The most typical alternative to this is that you write the hot code in an unsafe language. And your code already has dozens of dependencies on third-party modules in unsafe languages. So it's something to be aware of, sure, but it&#x27

A photograph is not the same as its subject, and it is not sufficient to reconstruct the subject, but it's still a representation of the subject. Even a few sketched lines are something we recognise as a representation of a physical ob

In sailing and shipping, another vessel is set for a collision course for you if and only if its direction from you doesn't change (assuming both keep constant speed). Is this roughly the same for orbiting bodies? If so, it would seem

It's just one measure of profitability. Is it a con to report a business's gross revenue? Hardly. It has a useful meaning in its context. If you're going to value a business based on a single number, your problems can't

I can't think of any fairer way to decide whether a crime was committed than to have clear evidence, consensus on the facts, and a jury of your peers to decide whether the events were worthy of punishment. If there really was all this

Based on pg's other work, I would guess that previous drafts of this essay had concrete examples, but they were removed after deciding that including them would make the discussion all about those specifics. But in general I think it&#
