I suppose in theory the FPGA could contain a hidden CPU that has full read/write access to the FPGA program. All of them do at this point. It isn't hidden. You can't buy a large FPGA without an ARM core in it. The ARM cor

But how confident can we really be that our thinking is categorically different? I know that humans are doing more than interpolating, because at the rate we read and for the typical lifespan we have, we simply cannot ingest enough text t

While we all want blob-free hardware like the Talos Power9 ... which is 100% blobless. Or the Cavium MIPS64 chips (100% blobless). Or if you want Arm64, the Rockchip RK3399 (100% blobless). You have plenty of choices. One mitigation i

The backdoors (more often, bugdoors) are known only to a very, very small number of people at each company. People with security clearances. Things like the Intel ME are what make this arrangement work. The fact that the ME exists is publ

If the people who modify their exhaust systems are forced to buy EVs they will simply modify their stereo system instead. EVs won't affect the noise problem, they'll just cause the assholes to change their tactics.

This is actually highly credible and should not be downvoted. Ptychographic X-ray laminography has come a long way and can image even the latest chips at the transistor level: https://spectrum.ieee.org/xray-tech-lays-chip-se

by karma_pharmer 2y ago
This presumes that LLMs actually contain "reasoning" capability other than "the facts" and simple interpolation between them. It is far from clear that this presumption holds. Ingesting more text than a human could read

Wow we have graduated from clickbaity headlines to clickbaity HN postings. I like articles like the one above where you can see the author's original title, before the editors got their grubby mits on it. Much more informative: Rea

I think maybe your memory decieves you? The great thing about unix is that there are no "wars" over these things, because everybody gets to decide for themselves. Well at least that's how it was before systemd -- and all of D

I interviewed with them, a long long long time ago. They use OCaml because it is explainable. Which it is. They use it like a non-lazy version of Haskell -- side effects are used rarely if ever. So there's no nonlocal behavior in th

Dude you cannot compare DJB to Pottering. DJB is a genius, responsible for all of the non-NSA asymmetric cryptosystems, symmetric cryptosystems, and authenticated encryption algorithms supported by TLS (curve25519, chacha20, Poly1305). H

SonicWall does not publish blocklists either. I'm still seeking a source here.

by karma_pharmer 2y ago
But @sambazi's comment talks about ISPs doing the blocking. Yes of course, internet appliances are capable of DNS-blocking whatever their operators tell them to block. This is not news to me, nor to anybody else reading Hacker News.

If you don't have clarity of thought, no intelligence in the world can help you. I disagree. Moronic people in positions of power are often in this situation. So far this has worked out well for the moronic powerful people: as long
