Forgive me for being reductive, but aren't these leaked accounts a lost cause? The vulnerability in question is attackers being able to log into user accounts with leaked credentials. The only mitigation for this is to lock out users i

Maybe a good compromise is to change the boot screen to have a label that the phone is running an unofficial ROM, just like it shows one for unlocked bootloaders? If the system can update that dynamically based on unlock state, why can&#x27

How does device attestation reduce bruteforce? Does the backend not enforce the attempt limits per account? If so, that's would be considered a critical vulnerability. If not, then attestation doesn't serve that purpose. As for co

I thought I was being clear. Access to education, which is a function of wealth, race segregation, and/or cultural expectations, or in other words, economic + social factors. For example, if a family encourages their child to work from

Education? Or more directly, socio-economics. The many of the subjects tested never had any experience with this kind of formal testing, had little to no education, and of course predictably failed on several abstract tasks. It might be tha

Religion isn’t ethnicity. Did England become less British after Catholics fell from a vast majority to ~10% post-Reformation? And the actual numbers still don’t show a majority shift. Even if every Muslim in France kept their religion, they

You quoted the number but skipped the part where MacKellar says the whole premise relies on treating 3rd- and 4th-generation citizens as “not French.” > While the ethnic demography of France has shifted as a result of post-WWII immigrati

Does your hospital kill more people than it saves? If so, you might be describing the 19th century Vienna General Hospital, which had two maternal wards: one staffed by trained physicians, suffering up to 30% mortality, the other by midwive

There's something unintentionally manipulative about how these tools use language indicative of distress to communicate failure. It's a piece of software—you don't see a compiler present its errors like a human bordering on a

I think some of this effect is explained by different models being trained on almost identical corpa. Even if you try to erase certain works, contamination will still represent some of it, just in less obvious ways.

It seems you are letting any client with a session token update the entire wall. The endpoint simply takes the base64 PNG and sets it as the wall. I was thinking maybe taking a diff, limiting its maximum area, and rate-limiting might at lea

Playing devil's advocate, what if it was more subtle? Prolonged use of conversational programs does reliably induce certain mental states in vulnerable populations. When ChatGPT got a bit too agreeable, that was enough for a man to kil

But what is this idea the human is realizing? With most tools, it's an indescribable essence of a work that, even if you could extract it from the author's mind at that point, would be different from the end result—not because it&

I think a lot of these are artifacts of RLHF and left-to-right thinking, and one might actually go away with diffusion LLMs. If anyone here spoke to Gemini Diffusion, does it have different speech patterns?

Didn't tokenization already have one bitter lesson: that it's better to let simple statistics guide the splitting, rather than expert morphology models? Would this technically be a more bitter lesson?
