Right, but they’re avoiding that risk by passing on a risk to the customer, that their PII will be mishandled. Because handling that PII is not only cheap, it’s profitable!

It’s probably not an LLM, nor a small transformer-based model, but it is a language model. Probably the kind that powered auto-correct before GPT. The generated words agree in grammatical gender and plural forms, so by definition it’s a lan

How many sign ups you have with an @icloud.com address? A lot of those are Hide My Email aliases that, by design, you can’t tell apart from real human addresses.

Hide My Email addresses are not just a random string at icloud.com. They use plausibly-human names, probably generated by a language model. There’s no easy-to-check pattern. They’re not switching the subdomain. They’re keeping it the same.

It doesn’t need to be a personally identifiable watermark.

We gotta stop normalizing that. Why do you need my address to receive my money? My birth date? Even in places with strong privacy regulations requiring businesses not to collect data they don’t need, businesses apparently get away with aski

IIRC they did make a breaking change by changing the default character encoding to UTF-8 without BOM. They also started rendering and preserving Unix-style line endings (LF). Very welcome breaking changes :)

Input size and output complexity are not necessarily the only two dimensions involved. There’s no reason to think that such graph would show a continuous frontier.

I don’t appreciate the personal attack. You don’t know me. Permissions have nothing to do with preventing fingerprinting, they have to do with user control. Every permission you add that the app can inspect is one extra bit of fingerprint,

macOS shows a modal with a list of offending applications and how much RAM they're using. Some of those applications are "paused", marked in red, some are "not responding", and some are responding normally. You can

For example, suppose you want to write a test for the shipOrder(orderId) function, and you want it to depend on the test for the placeOrder(shoppingCart) -> OrderId function. Even if you are fine calling placeOrder twice, once for the pl

TIL about custom VBIOSes. Why don’t the OEMs of GPUs aimed at OCing just ship with a BIOS that exposes more tweaks through software though…

by drdexebtjl 2mo ago
The hard parts to design about this, imo, are: - How to reconcile this with tests that execute many times with varying input data. You’d need some way to express requirements with specific inputs or shared inputs. - Passing state between te

Isn’t that just a gimmick? I was under the impression that GPU overclocking, overvoltage and fan curve settings were not persistent across reboots.

by drdexebtjl 2mo ago
If you overclocked too far, you could remove the CMOS battery or hold the CLR_CMOS button that these high-end boards probably had. Two BIOS chips was supposed to protect you from bad BIOS updates or a bad BIOS mod, just like the scenario fr

Thanks. It’s been a while since I used Android. This is absolutely hostile to users.

Opus 4.8 on Low is similar in price and quality to Sonnet 5 on High, but much faster. But otherwise I don’t use Claude anymore.

You would probably get better results with Luna for the real simple tasks, or Sol with low thinking effort. I find that I get exactly the effort that I asked for, which is pretty nice. The other side of that coin is that these are the least

For Bluesky, sure. I think the comment was aimed at the trend. Android and iOS should not let apps do this, because it can be (ab)used by apps that you can’t really choose not to use. I know there’s a popular bank in my country that complet
