they run it throuh a tool that checks online whether any cves relate to that version. They don't care whether you actually hit the vuln, if there's a cve it's "bad". That's usually the level i see.

i have almost never encountered an spa where anything happened without a very perceptible delay. My windows 95 pc on a pentium literally felt snappier. On 100MHz and 8MiB of ram...

no QC has gone beyond being able to factor 1. The "factorization" done with quantum computers involved cherry picking special numbers so that a special "compiled" circuit (knowledge of the answer is required in order to

11 MiB is a HUGE amount of memory for a 486 era computer. My high end pentium machine from the 90s had 8 MiB.

The AI is the one which made the mistake in the first place. Why would you assume it's guaranteed to find it? The few times I've tried giving LLMs a shot I've had them warning me of not putting some validations in, when that

No they are not. They are exponentially increasing. Due to the exponential scaling needed for linear gain. Otherwise they'd fall behind their competition.

Tell me you've never written any python without telling me you've never written any python... Those are both syntactically valid lines of code. (it's actually one of python's many warts). They are not ambiguous in any wa

Models are fixed. They do not learn post training. Which means that training needs to be ongoing. So the revenue covers the inference? So what? All that means is that it doesn't cover your costs and you're operating at a loss. Bec

Code is much much harder to check for errors than an email. Consider, for example, the following python code: x = (5) vs x = (5,) One is a literal 5, and the other is a single element tuple containing the number 5. But mor
