Who implements transliteration rules? I assume operating systems? Or text renderers?

This is pretty crazy, literally built something almost exactly like this for a project I'm working on (a local-first AI agent that does work on folders while you sleep). Basically going from JSON "Lego blocks" to full reports

I'm using Kokoro for a fun little side-project browser-based game I'm working on. It's legitimately super good for being only 85mb (for the wasm version) or 300mb (for the webgpu version).

A tick is the smallest amount of time the server does its "work" in. It does not mean, as the person I'm replying to was implying, that clients are 100% always lined up, because a game is played (locally) at much higher updat

Well, if you cheat in WoW, Blizzard might just sue you[1], so that tends to be quite effective :) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDY_Industries,_LLC_v._Blizzar... .

"Same tick" is a misnomer for a few reasons. First of all, games use UDP, which is basically a "fire and forget" protocol (which means packets get dropped routinely). Second of all, realtime games use some interpolation&

This has been done before in both 1.6 as well as Source. I helped with some of these implementations back in the late-2000s when I was playing professionally and I even tried to kickstart an anti-cheat hardware solution about a decade ago[1

This is a very authoritative answer that should be more nuanced and caveated as implementation-dependent. In some cases, repetition penalties take precedence over sampling; top_k and top_p can also be handled before or after the temperature

An alarming number of people don't understand that LLMs work via purely stochastic processes, so I'm happy to see in-depth pieces like this. I'm looking for a job and maybe this is why it's so hard to get a callback thes

This is one of the few AI hills I will die on: not disclosing AI tool usage when you produce a product where the writing is the end result (in this case, the website I'm being sent to) is disrespectful to your readers and users.

Went over a few of these with a pretty keen eye, and they aren't that particularly interesting. The Docker one is just a weird bug, it's not a vulnerability, and certainly not a "0-day" (which is a pretty loaded term and

Likely doable with metaparameter tuning (used to work on a team with data scientists that were routinely doing this in various situations). Seems like a cool idea.

Usually you need to be well-published/cited in the field, so a minor would likely not qualify. People joke around, but philosophers are some of the smartest people I've ever met, and it's not even particularly close. (I gradu

The irony of someone writing a blog post purely to rage-bait (or rage-engage?) against "slop grenades." Slop grenades can also be made by humans you know, and I'd argue this post is at least a flashbang.

Memcached is meant to be a lightweight memory cache, which makes sense, but contrary to the article's claim that "Redis is brought into a stack as a cache, and it is run with the assumption that people treat it that way"—I ha

Totally correct, though I do think a contract was signed in the LEGO case you're referencing. So "common law 9/10ths" doesn't even come into play here because people signed stuff.

Funny example, because if you create a flyer, you own the copyright to said flyer :) So if you create a flyer, then if someone else uses that flyer to make money, you can sue them and you will win in court (unless the derived work is transf
