Glad to know major political parties also invest in dysfunctional software.

Sounds like Nintendo's problem. They should step up their security to prevent leaks. As for people choosing an emulator over buying a Switch: too bad, that's how competition works.

The AI training algorithms are deterministic given the same dataset, same model architecture, and same set of hyperparameters. The main reasons the models would not be identical is due to differing random seeds and precision issues. The dif

We can change "sole purpose" to "primary purpose", and I'd argue something that happens 50% of the time counts as a primary purpose.

If the sole purpose of your model is to copy a work, then that's copyright infringement.

Encyclopedias may be collections of facts, but the writing is generally creative. Phone books are literally just facts. AI models are literally just facts.

I will address both points: 1. No one is training on users' bank details, but if you're training on the whole Internet, it's hard to be sure if you've filtered out all PII, or even who is in there. 2. This isn't hap

I will again ask the obligatory question: are model weights even copyrightable? And if not, does the "license" still matter?

Most likely yes. I don't think companies can be blamed for not wanting to subject themselves to EU regulations or uncertainty. Edit: Also, if you don't want to follow or deal with EU law, you don't do business in the EU. Peop

Selling the exploit? No. What you do is offer an unban API and charge $1 per call.

You shouldn't be modifying any variable concurrently without a mutex. The only exception to this is if the variable is (1) less than or equal to the CPU word size; (2) is at a CPU word size aligned address; and (3) atomic memory access

Online anonymity only allows bad actors to spread propaganda and misinformation. There's no reason to have it.

Russia's "partners" are vultures ready to swoop in and consume everything if the country collapses.

This is an especially sad offer since $105 is not a lot of money for a developer. These scammers need to revise their strategy.

Do we need to put the password in the cache key?
946.
by ronsor 2y ago
Why do we need a KDF for a cache key? Won't a normal cryptographic hash function (or its HMAC variant) suffice?

Microsoft does not. This is the one area where they don't compromise: system call numbers regularly change between Windows builds.

If there was zero copyright, why would I pay Amazon any price? And if I do pay someone, why would it be anyone other than the original author?

If you submit often enough that people can determine who you are from the hash, you're probably big enough that you don't really need privacy.

When did WINE start doing this? I always love a good read on ptrace hacks.

You can just use OpenAI Whisper on the video, and ask an LLM to summarize with timestamps.

I don't know why this is downvoted. There are definitely a ton of users who will accidentally delete the camera and then complain their phone is broken, wasting everyone's time.

In my personal experience, writing a compiler backend is hard regardless of whether you pick GCC or LLVM.

Why couldn't you just use MoltenVK?

This is cheaper than 8xH100 GPU compute time for AI.

I wonder if Switch games could be run in a WINE-like environment.

So what you're saying is someone should grab a high-end SBC and 3D printer, and build a hardware alternative to the Nintendo Switch.

You already have to pay fees to file a lawsuit.
