Open Claw cannot be made "secure" by any normal definition of the word. Unless I'm very much mistaken, fundamentally it's a tool that lets LLMs do stuff. So you take the output of an LLM, which is obviously impossibly to

AI;DR It's too late in any case, the Internet as we know it will eat itself. It will be destroyed by AI, and AI agents from without. And it will be destroyed from within by stupid laws such as the ones under "discussion" in t

I agree with this article completely. I've had three long and very memorable conversations on internaltional plane flights in the past, with three extremely interesting and intelligent people. I don't tend to take those flights an

Well, it looks like AI will destroy the internet. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. Fun, even. Fortunately, the vast majority of the internet is of no real value. In the sense that nobody will pay anything for it - which is a reasonably

I applied for my passport online. If it's secure enough for that, then it's secure enough for voting.

"Power Users", whatever that might really mean use MacOS because it works. They use a Mac laptop because it always and instantly wakes from sleep. Because the audio always works, and is always low latency. Because they have work t

This is entirely false, Apple allows the use of threads in their applications.

It also doesn't make any sense. It's like self-driving cars that require you to pay attention at all times anyway.

This is absolutely going to kill people. In a country that had even a modicum of regulation around providing healthcare this would be illegal.

Incredible. Not a whiff of AI (I mean, obviously I see now because it's from 2020). Just fantastic to see clear and elegant writing again.

The first thing I do on Hacker News when there's an AI post is run to the comments for a good time. The later I go back and read the actual article, and in this case hoo boy what a doozy. An AI-written summary of a seemingly not vibe-c

I have had conversations at work, with people who I have reason to believe are smart and critical, in which they made the claim that humans and AI basically learn in the same way. My response to them, as to anyone that makes this claim, is

Particularly frustratingly because it's so unnecessary in this case. It's not even that much text, just write it yourself. It would probably take less time.

I feel absolutely confident that Charlie XCX would never use generative AI in any form. And this sentence is lovely; "...let some random person you’ve just met in the bathroom try on the necklace around your neck that is equivalent to

Humans, and many other creatures, learn. While they are performing a task, they improve at the task. LLMs are trained. While they are training, they are not doing anything useful. Once they are trained, they do not learn. That's the di

We use flatbuffers extensively in our message passing framework, and they are extremely fast if you take care with your implementation. They have a few features that make them especially useful for us 1) The flatbuffer parser can be configu

Certainly Gen AI is being marketed to business leaders as being capable of reducing their payroll, but I don't believe that's what it's for as such. And as several comments have mentioned, its energy use is not even especia

Of the one or two successes I have experienced in my career, preventing the adoption of ROS was one of the most satisfying. Watching another group adopt it, and then fail spectacularly was also reasonably gratifying.

ChatGPT and Gemini literally only know the answer because they read StackOverflow. Stack Overflow only exists because they have visitors. What do you think will happen when everyone is using the AI tools to answer their questions? We'l

Does anybody else find it peculiar that the majority of these articles about AI say things like "of course I don't doubt that AI will lead to major discoveries", and then go on to explain how they aren't useful in any fi

I would imagine that the difficulty lies in finding effective ways to remove information from the training data in that way. There's an enormous amount of data, and LLMs are probably pretty good at putting information together from dif
