Reading the section on [synthetic data]( https://huggingfacefw-blogpost-fineweb-v1.static.hf.space/di... ) was eye-opening for me. The hockey-stick growth of words associated with common ChatGPT output in the common crawl dat

You've shifted the goalposts here. You're right that this all comes down to economics. You're not going to go to these lengths to break into a Facebook account -- however -- you have to remember that there is a lot of trans

sorry to hear that. I don't exaggerate, but the unfortunate part is there is a lot of FUD out there- I just had a friend install nordvpn because someone sent her a gift card scam email to her business email address. So there's a l

just like anything else with cryptography, please don't roll your own. all major OSes and programming languages provide primitives to generate cryptographically strong random numbers- use that instead.

From a developers point of view- if you are given an option to provide a seed value, you’re using the wrong api. Libraries exist to provide cryptographically appropriate rngs in every major programming language- use those instead.

From my experience, the muscle memory is strong with ida. Once you’re used to it, it’s hard to switch. So I don’t expect that there was a dramatic plunge as soon as ghidra was released. I have no inside knowledge but I expect the sales drop

The constraint is knowing when the password was created. If you know that within a day or so, that makes the problem much more tractable and you can instead focus on number of characters and the other parameters. Sniffing traffic (yes eve

Not surprising behavior from Cogent, who to this day refuses to peer with Hurricane Electric's IPv6 network [see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Electric and related footnotes].

Many, many years ago I participated in ISEF, so this is personally disappointing to me. I'll echo some of the sibling comments about the difference between kids who did the project alone versus parents/lab mentors who ... ahem ...

Don't forget in-vehicle Wi-Fi access points, which are active in most modern cars/trucks. Plus you can't "opt out" as these are usually fixed names (you can't append "_nomap")

All well and good until you sign away those rights in one of the many forms you fill out- see for example this excerpt from one of my local hospital websites (emphasis mine) It’s trivial to be coerced into signing one of these agreements wh

This +1000. The whole billing / insurance system is intended to wear you down in a cascading swarm of bullshit. You want to know if a doctor is in network? Good luck, because the insurance company clearly states that they only provide

I spoke with the compliance manager at the urgent care this afternoon and had a pleasant conversation. I shared my concerns that I was never provided a copy of the paperwork I was expected to sign - and they took that feedback to hopefully

I would believe this - after all how many billions of dollars did Google pay Apple to be the primary search engine on iOS? This further erodes my confidence in Apple doing the right thing and I think the EU is doing the world a service by s

So let’s say I want to book an outpatient surgical procedure. I know my surgeon is in network and the facility I visit for the procedure is in network. However there are always other services required that you may not be aware of - anesthes

I would love to see that legal argument given their view of “fair use” of all the copyrighted material that went into OpenAI models.

Why would the model be self aware? There is no mechanism for the llm to know the answer to “what are you” other than training data it was fed. So it’s going to spit out whatever it was trained with, regardless of the “truth”

It is optional, yes, but in the past, there were no internet based middlemen taking a 30% cut. You paid the local kid driving the pizza to your house, not some nameless software developer making 200k+ a year.

The cuts Uber, DoorDash etc take are astronomical- that’s the real issue. Thirty percent! Nobody filed lawsuits about pizza delivery in the past because you didn’t pay a 100% premium for delivery! I don’t do delivery services because for a
