The tool of choice back then was SoftICE and it would have been trivial to trap even bios level LPT access. More to the point the guy didn't even open the dongle, which in all likelihood was a simple set of logic gates in this case. I&

Half the time I pick a spot at the bar the bar staff decides it's time to slowly empty the dishwasher and walk in circles. Screw that, I'll just queue and wait to be called by staff that'll serve me. If the bar is functional

The legal and liability protection these messaging services get from E2EE is far too big to break it. Besides I get the feeling we're so cooked these days from marketing that when I get freaked out that an advert is what I was thinking

People are giving such bizarre examples for why it helped. Just think of a thermometer. If it removes heat as it measures it (consumes oxygen) then it will measure everything too cold if the system can't replace the heat that's re

I was fully prepared for the wet walls of the building to act as a reflector. I'm surprised WiFi can't pass on reliably through branches. Must have been a nightmare back then.

We've yet to clearly define what consciousness is or an agreed test. But we absolutely believe we are conscious. Perhaps it's a useful idea. Even our decision making as I understand it, from the functional MRIs we know our subject

Oooff yes I think that is exactly the kind of shenanigans they might pull. Ultimately I can understand if a new model is coming in without as much optimization then it'll add pressure to the older models achieving the same result. Nice

Honestly burst out laughing as I saw the FAQ section covering the timeout. Thanks for sharing the link. The ultimate explanation that he just pinged known distances to calculate the time and distance relation is actually brilliant I'm

These are always tricky, vitamin D deficiency and low fat diets clearly cause depressive symptoms. Does that mean vitamin D treats depression in general? When most people talk of depression they aren't even using talking about major de

I'm sure this part of the "boring details" omitted. But what was the actual timeout and distance? Presumably 60-70% VF of PVC coated copper? So a 5ms timeout would be a 500mile run?

There's that, but I actually think LLMs are becoming very good at not making the bad simple choice. What they're worse at is the bits I can't easily see. An example is that I recently was working on a project building a libra

The problem is the LLMs are exceptionally good at producing output that appears good. That's what it's ultimately been tuned to do. The way I see this play out is output that satisfied me but that I would not produce myself. Over

One challenge is, are those decisions making tangible differences? We won't know until the code being produced especially greenfields hits any kind of maturity 5 years+ atleast?

If you have absolutely no experience with assembly then I'd suggest starting very simple with a modern microcontroller. I have a special place in my heart for the original pic16f84a the modern equivalent is the pic16F1827. Which uses t

If I understand it correctly, that driver code is for reference they exploit the host sides handling of what that Linux PVSCSI driver produces.

The research has already been done historically without convincing results. That's why they want NIH large dataset (you need large dataset to find a small effect size). But NIH understably will not share a dataset that the contributors

A big issue is that by scalping out early stages of careers AI could create a large impact on employee development. If AI means you don't need to hire so many 2-5 year experience employees it means you're not creating 5year + expe

It's not restricted. NIH won't allow you to use the datasets they control for it. It is practically and pragmatically reasonable for them to do that. It's also ethically sound to not let the data subjects data be used for som

I read the NIH policy and it seems quite reasonable to me. The rule usually applied to datasets with broad consent is the surprise principle. Even if you have consent if the person is subsequently surprised by how it was used it's not

The simple answer is that Race science is pointless because race is not a clean objective concept. We are fooled by our remarkable capability to assign racial labels into thinking it must be simple to cleanly deduce race from a generic test

Scientists, are not quite like explorers, just venturing off in direction and see what they find. They have interests, that align with funding, which aligns with actionable data. And they follow them. So who would even do such research? The

It's everything around the LLM that improves its responses. Like the system prompt. But can be as simple as "respond to queries like X in the format Y".

I don't think so it seems the aspiration of these tools is it'll be agents all the way down. A high level task is given and outpops a working solution. A) If you can't program and you're just happy to have something work
