I enabled Alexa+ few days ago on my devices. Everyone in our home immediately disliked the new Alexa. There were some fairly basic things that Alexa+ cannot do, and Alexa was able to do. Some fairly simple question/answering tasks, and

it is a good place for new graduates to solve some challenging engineering problems at scale and learn. Most of the employees do not last more than 2 years. People who stick for longer, admire that type of culture and are made for amazon. T

That series of questions will measure only a particular area. I am concerned about destorying model capabilities in some other area that that I do not pay attention to, and have no way of knowing.

In this day and age, it is almost impossible for certain businesses not to build on someone's else kingdom. Facebook, instagram, uber, lyft, doordash, instacart, and hundreds of unicorn businesses are literally built on top of ecosyste

A computer (or a phone) is not magic, its just billions of transistors. or perhaps we can further simplify and call it just sand? or maybe atoms?

source depot is (was?) essentially a fork of perforce.

by israrkhan 1y ago
We did migrate from Perforce to Git for a fairly large repositories, and I can relate to some of the issues. Luckily we did not had to invent VFS, although git-lfs was useful for large files.

Once he got the root shell on "insecure" processor, that could have been used as an attack point for the secure processor. It would be much more interesting to pwn the secure processor from insecure Linux OS.

while I agree that LLMs do not have thoughts or plan. They are merely text generators. But when you give the text generator ability to make decisions and take actions, by integrating them with real world, there are consequences. Imagine, if

Homebrew itself is not bad, but it does allow users to install software from thirdparty sources, that are unvetted, or unverified. This could pose a security risk. I can see why some companies will disable homebrew. Especially for non-devel

I feel MCP emerged too quickly. It will take some time and further protocol versions/enhancements for it to mature, and address stuff like security. Also it was not vetted by a conventional standards body, but just made public by a com

Agreed. Also their name make it seem like it is totally new model. If they needed to assign their own name to it, at least they could have included the parent (and grant parent) model names in the name. Just like the name DeepSeek-R1-Distil
