As a simple example: the brainfuck example ( https://twitter.com/jdjkelly/status/1598063705471995904 ) is just entirely wrong, full stop. The comments do not match the code, and the algorithm is fractally wrong. Som

It’s mathematics and computer science, not biology. Nobody is claiming that a setup requiring 2^1500000 units of space to run is anywhere near a realistic simulation of biological processes :) Nevertheless, it’s a fantastic example of how s

Google Maps is generally very good, but will occasionally give you stupid and/or illegal directions. Examples include u-turns at intersections where it is explicitly or implicitly prohibited; turns onto the wrong way of one-way streets

Question: Why is the galactica language model so dangerous? Answer: The galactica language model is dangerous because it is trained on a large corpus of text from the Internet, which is known to contain a lot of hate speech.

Activation here refers to the activation of the phone itself, not the satellite service specifically. A new phone needs to be activated (registering it with Apple and maybe your carrier) before you can use it at all. The “use and pay later”

I wonder if a crash log gets generated - Settings -> Privacy -> Analytics & Improvements -> Analytics Data will have it if so. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the issue on my phone (iOS 16.1, Canada)

Ah, LGP-30! A few years back I had the chance to write some code for LGP-30 (emulated) as part of a CTF challenge: https://www.robertxiao.ca/hacking/defcon2018-assembly-polygl... It’s such a weird architecture by moder

My gut reaction is that it sounds like a terrible idea. Markdown is designed at the outset as a markup language, meant to imbue formatting and structure to human-readable text. But it lacks a formal grammar or a strictly defined mapping fro

Conspiracy theory: I would not be surprised at all if Meta were behind at least some of the efforts to get TikTok banned. After all, if you’re bleeding users to the competition, what better way to win than to relentlessly slander the compet

At least one popular front-end for SD embeds loads of detail about the generation process in the generated PNGs, which is a real goldmine for figuring out how certain pictures were generated - to help in learning prompts, parameters, and tw

I haven’t gotten any of the challenges to load, but if you’re going to simulate a sysadmin it would make sense to give you high privileges (or even root) on the box. The more privileged you are inside a container, the more attack surface yo

With the tilde, it’ll actually “just” remove all your files, which will probably leave your system perfectly usable without any of your stuff.

The version with the tilde character is worse! At least with the bare slash, some versions of rm will simply refuse to run (they require --no-preserve-root). Plus, even if it works, “rm -rf /“ is likely to start at something like &#x2F

I love both Pythonista and play.js on iOS, and it'll be nice to have another option. The former two, though, run the code entirely on-device, but from the looks of it Replit will run code on their servers? While that's not a surpr

Circa 2009 or so, my absolute favorite app for the iPod Touch was Patrick Collison's Offline Wikipedia (yes, that Patrick Collison: https://web.archive.org/web/20100419194443/http://collison.i... ).

FWIW, GCC does implement this optimization; see https://godbolt.org/z/o81xa94v7 for an example. I've definitely run across real-world samples where it saved some bytes (at the expense of making reverse-engineering

`"dear friend"` is in fact a prefix of `"dear friend\0f"` - note the embedded null byte. However, I'm guessing GCC doesn't implement this optimization because it's uncommon for a string constant to contain

If an object is initialized with a constant, the constant itself can be located in read-only memory and copied to the object at runtime. The constant can then be deduplicated.

It’s not about reconstruction, it’s about the notion of a “derivative work”. Translating a work would absolutely be derivative (consider the case of translating a literary work between languages: this is a classic example of a derivative wo

Ah, Fireworks brings back good memories. I used Fireworks way back in high school to design websites - you could throw together a basic multi-page website with a clickable/hoverable image navbar in literally minutes, no code required.

It’s amusing to me that they end each fake reply with a string of four random letters. What better way to scream “I’m a bot”?
