Doesn't need to be their own tools. It's organizational and cultural, not a case of no-one makes the tools to enable it.

Everyone doing it doesn't make it a good idea. The big tech companies and governments are I think a little more paranoid about rouge admins, so they do at least try to limit the blast radius of any given credential, but almost no-one e

I don't think it's preemptive vs cooperative that matters. What Rust's abstraction allows is for a function to act like a mini-executor itself, polling multiple other futures itself instead of delegating it to the runtime. Th

I think this is the trend, and it's probably a good one for most involved, except probably advertisers.

They're going to want to know about panels being installed, and regardless of whether the regulation says they can be installed, they will be, so the regulation will tend towards allowing installation but at least encouraging reporting

That does seem like an orthogonal question to me. That we are wealthier and better off now doesn't really say much about the raw capabilities of the people now vs then, when it's obvious that technology has a truly gigantic role i

I hear zero-trust is a trendy buzzword at the moment, so let's apply the basic idea here: having a hard shell and a soft and chewy center is not a security posture that works, in practice. You need to harden at every level. RMM uber-ad

This is my experience as well. The average quality in ROS is rock-bottom and so while it contains all of the things you might want from a robotics framework, you pay dearly for it. I would also say that whole the concept of distributed netw

Papers in any journal (even or especially Nature, depending on your prior) should have a significantly larger degree of skepticism shown towards them than statements in reputable textbooks (which also should not be taken as complete gospel)

And that's at basically the lowest interest you can possibly get a loan.

The US government does spent a pretty large amount of its budget paying some of the debt back. More now that there's been multiple brinkmanship games of threatening a default for political points.

You're asking for exactly the same cake. You want for the GPL to pass through this process, but not the proprietary licenses that the original GNU tools were washing away. (the paradox of copyleft is that it does tend to push free soft

3 and 4 are what that argument is based on, I believe. 3) on the basis that the output is not _reproduced_, and 4) on similar grounds that output that's just not at all the same as the input data isn't affecting the market for the

I would more say it's both: this is kind of the idea of open source, at least for the large-scale projects that are permissively licensed.

It's not mindless brute-forcing, the details of the architecture, data, and training strategy still matter a lot (if you gave a modern datacenter to an AI researcher from the 60s they wouldn't get an LLM very quickly). The bitter

There is a point where smaller isn't cheaper, because handling and overhead costs dominate and even get harder. (the same is true for fasteners, where they get cheaper as they get smaller, until the material cost is irrelevant and they

PyPy may not care in principle, but RPython does, being a kind of python dialect designed for static compilation that is intended for writing JIT engines like PyPy.

Anthropic mention that they did beforehand, and it was the good performance it had there that lead to them looking for new bugs (since they couln't be sure that it was just memorising the vulnerabilities that had already been published

I've seen it used to impersonate github themselves and serve backdoored versions of their software (the banner is pretty easy to avoid: link to the readme of the malicious commit with an anchor tag and put a nice big download link in i

The point being that AWS runs AWS, they don't run your business on AWS. You still need someone to actually set up AWS to do what you want, much like you would need someone to run your on-premises servers. And in my experience, the diff

Moving around the physical hardware is a truly tiny part of the actual job, it's really not relevant. (especially nowadays, see the top level comment about how you can do an insane amount (probably more than the median cloud deployment

France has an unusual rung on their escalation ladder, in that they will use a low-yield nuke on a military target before they launch their big ones at cities, but this is still fundamentally about trying to avoid MAD, by hoping that the ve

Yeah, but TSG paid in 213 million and is (at max, assuming there are no creditors to pay, which seems unlikely) getting 33 million out. That's them cutting their losses, not making a profit. They could be getting about 15% of their mon

How easy reverse engineering something is varies a lot. Something where the production process is the secret can be almost impossible to reverse engineer, for example.

It was more that regular people started joining the internet through just paying for ISPs. Before that, most of the people just joining the internet were students, so there would be a wave of newbies at the start of the university year ever

And the thing usually is that what you want from your engine is the flexibility to be able to change things around easily so you can iterate and experiment on the game design itself. Sometimes a custom engine can give you that (especially i

This is easier if the device retains its resale value. Keeping up with the latest iphone is cheaper than the latest Android flagship because of this.

Integration and differentiation, even before LLMs, were already something that you would be better off just getting a machine to do in most cases. It's far more important to understand what the operations represent than it is to derive
