So MS lied in an interview. Or the press person was not very knowledgeable. But how would that even work, that data can only be accessed locally? How does a computer decide if the intent to access a file is coming from the user in front of

Nothing in this FAQ is in any way surprising. If someone (“hackers”) gains remote access to your PC, they can also install a key logger and take screenshots. They just don’t have access to the historic data.

I understand that this feature is highly controversial and I myself have mixed feelings about it. But I don’t understand what is being “pwned” here: isn’t providing a photographic memory of everything you do on your PC exactly what this is

Imagine there are only 2 brands of cars, and one of them disables the engine as soon as the driver wants to enter your drive-thru. Imagine also that this car brand operates a chain of drive-thru restaurants that their cars will happily visi

Moore's Law actually refers to the density of transistors on a chip doubling approximately every two years, not CPU speed. Yes, CPUs still get exponentially faster, but this affects multi core throughput, single thread performance imp

This is not what I meant. But I prefer a fork of an abandoned project which needs to gain new trust to be installed instead of a new release pushed through an auto update after 3 years that installs malware. The parent comment was not about

But this is dangerous. There are many „Jia Tans“ out there who would love to continue maintenance of those projects with the full community.

Don’t do this to learn if you really want to use the servers for important data and expose them to the internet. You can shoot your foot with docker containers, but you can shoot your face by blindly installing dozens of packages and their

While I agree with your sentiment, maintaining software like postgreSQL is a full time job. But your last sentence seems to apply to everything on the internet lately. People used to do podcasts, create guitar tabs or publish cooking recip

You're probably better off with a recursive wget here. IIRC redmine was not really javascript heavy and monolith looks to me like it only saves one page.

Unfortunately, I don't think the real world applications of this exploit are explained anywhere. From skimming the paper , it looks like the attacker needs to be able to a) run code on the victim's machine and b) trigger the encry

That’s why I hope they compete hard in the AI-in-your-pocket space. Seems like they got the hardware talent to make that happen (software-wise I’m not so sure, but at least it sounds like they focus a bit more on that now the car project is

I remember the first time I sold code to a company for low 4 figure amount. The hassle of registering for a VAT-Id (in Germany) and writing an invoice wasn‘t the problem. I was afraid that there were any liabilities or other „rules“ I simpl

That's the explanation I came up with for myself, too. As humans, we rate most things not in absolute but in relative terms to what we are used to (see studies about happiness or how rich people don't realise how wealthy they are

I didn't take a look at the code, but to me it sounds quite dangerous to take an implementation AND the unit tests straight from an LLM, commit and move on. Is this the new normal now?

No. You need to gain access to the phone. If you have access to the phone, the watch isn’t interesting anymore.

Obviously this guy was fooled by a friend who was using his iPhone to remotely operate the watch (which explains the „we are in control“ phrase). Now in this forum numerous people that simply have a broken digitizer chime in. Case closed.

Buy a decent SD card and overprovision the space and wear leveling will take care of the rest. I have a Pi with a 128GB SD card and a 32GB filesystem on it running for 6 years straight without problems now. No need to disable logs, just dis

Anecdote from the other side: my zwave devices just work for 8 years now, while there are times some zigbee devices just don’t respond. I suspect the zwave network is more stable because all routers are powered all the time, while I have lo

Please anyone correct me if I'm wrong: LLMs cannot solve this kind of riddle. This has nothing to do with their capabilities for logical reasoning, but with the way words are represented as tokens. While they might know that "appl

This is right, but if you are implementing a formula known in the domain or documented elsewhere, you can (and should) use the letters used in the formula (in this case, b and k1) instead of making up names.

What average person thinks of Siri and Alexa as AI? I’ve honestly never seen that. People started talking about AI when ChatGPT entered the game.
