only if there's a player choice in the loop. If there's a mandatory infinite loop the game ends in a draw.

if it's open source there will be many potential providers, though.

I would personally like a little more consistency and a little less creativity in my UIs, TBH. Most UIs should be boring and effectively invisible, because if I'm paying attention to the UI, it's a distraction from the task or c

For me it made it a little dangerous to read: I hyperfocus on the book and can't get anything else done until I've finished it.

It's only relatively recently that this has shifted from the norm. Debian operated this way for a long time and it was only in 2019 that they forbade it entirely.

You misunderstand my point: the LLM is not a losslessly compressed version of the text: you need to supply additional information from the original in order to 'extract' it from the LLM (and from that point of view, the extra info

I think they were being sarcastic.

That paper is basically using the LLM as a compression algorithm: it's prompting with some section of the book and it's reprompting if it doesn't give the right output. Notably this only works if you already have a copy of th

This is a little bit 'if you can execute code as a user you can execute code as a user'. All of the exploit pathways involve capabilities that would give you any number of paths to code execution. The check should probably be fixe

Efficiency and cost savings at scale usually involve an increase in complexity: in mass manufacturing, complexity is generally a fixed cost and so can be amortized over larger volumes.

The people doing the intellectual work are usually not the primary beneficiaries of IP laws. In fact it often constrains them unnecessarily.

>Serious such rewrites don't start with the code of the closed game! No, but they often involve reverse engineering the binary pretty heavily.

black-box/clean-room isn't necessarily required, though. It does make it a lot harder to argue in court, of course.

It's not the word choice, it's the whole tone and structure of the sentence. It reads like a horror writer building up the tension before a big reveal but it just keeps drawing it out over a whole article and for something that is

Embedded software already has a pretty strong culture of rarely using libraries and vendoring them if they do (for better and for worse). This kind of worm just doesn't really make sense in that kind of environment anyway.

Because Apple's view seems to be that if you aren't using all of Apple's products, you're not their target audience.

The main thing is to trust who you're donating it to. Charities often struggle to do important but boring stuff because donors want to add all kinds of strings to the donation.

Generally only if there was some effort to collect it.

Yes, but that value can be pretty trivial. It's not uncommon in the UK to have a 'ground rent' of one peppercorn a year (for weird reasons of property ownership rules of flats).

It would be even worse for city planners if anyone could sue for a reduction in their property values due to a decision they made.

onedrive doesn't really handle online/offline switching well. Unless you configure it carefully, it will generally not keep stuff local and so things will break without an internet connection.

You could use an actual backup solution, OneDrive is not that.
564.
by rcxdude 5mo ago
You're pretty lucky, then. This kind of file sync is a cursed problem in general (in that a truly robust solution is just not possible), but onedrive seems to be particularly bad in terms of reverting local changes, not syncing changes

It is irritating how Microsoft markets onedrive as a backup solution, because then people think 'oh, we have onedrive, why do we need another backup solution?', when onedrive is so unsuited to being the working copy of so many dif

The background painting could maybe be explained like this (depending on what was hidden), but I don't think the duplicated blobs have a good explanation, especially because some were rotated to try to hide the manipulation.

Systems span all kinds of scales. You absolutely can think of everything on the internet as a system. Same with your example of the power grid. Your toaster and dam absolutely are part of the same system.

A strong signal 'that's obviously there' is only obviously there after you've already filtered it to some extent. If you were to look at the raw broadband RF environment on a scope you very much would not see the vast ma

Well, it's probably better to avoid the risk of her account being banned for 'ban evasion'.

You do generally need a tuned filter before the rectification, unless you have an extremely large signal dominating the local airwaves. Which is precisely the parent poster's point: with RF you are almost always doing something to demo
