The SVD seems to come up everywhere in my work in computer vision. I find myself continuously using the various C++/Eigen SVD implementations. Actually I should speak in the past tense. Claude and Codex are now generating all my code

I wish I lived in a world were you didn't have to sign contracts, lock your doors, or have X11 security. It is so fun to run xmeltdown a new user's display.

Of course not. You can melt things w thermite without being malicious. Like my friend's toolbox for instance.

Do NOT, under any circumstances, use any material in this repository maliciously. This is good-faith, open-disclosure vulnerability research intended to get more people interested in exploring this area of cyber

Maybe I like my characters to be in worse situations but inspire me by overcoming them and giving hope. Dostoyevsky leaves you in a pool of gray melancholy and dispair.

I have never read a book I hated more than The Brothers Karamazov. I never read a book that depressed me more than Crime and Punishment. No more Dostoevsky for me.

I blame 8086 segmented memory and the rest of its horrid architecture on why no one liked programming in assembly language. There were other elegant RISC machines with flat memory models and large general register sets that were a complete

What is the legal precedent for this statement? I am not disagreeing, I just would like to know what the law is.

I don't see it either, but there are folks smarter than both of us that disagree.

Somewhere in all this it is crazy that the choice could be between a US company creating an AI that could doom civilization or letting China create the AI that dooms civilization. Do we want to be the first to "summon the demon" i

I believe you are correct. Way too close to use pulsars…

by waynecochran 5mo ago
Very cool. On Voyager 2 we placed a map on the side of the probe that places the position of our sun based on an array of Pulsar stars (the map was designed by Carl Sagan). I noted in the PHM movie Rocky and Dr Grace made similar 3D maps (I

Was there a conclusion?

This explains why so many AI chat tools suck at text selection on MacOS / iOS. They got the streaming and markdown part right … flicker free, but at the cost of text selection.

As the article states, right now Anthropic does not have the compute capacity. I suppose they could charge an enormous amount of money, but if it is indeed that powerful there are folks that would pay and they would degrade everything. To m

Conclusion: both are true which makes sense. The KV cache scaling yields both the emergent power and requires the enormous capacity.

This is kind of what I already do with Claude which can employ a multitude of languages, libraries, and platforms. I write text files with detailed specs in English of what I want and Claude makes the plans which include testing regimes w d

"14x times" to me sounds like statistically "zero" since I assume the sample size would be in the millions "at least."

Yes. I don't know if this is exactly the recipe, but something akin to this could have .. no should have .. existed. Probably 1¢ is too much. Also, full public key encryption and digital signatures should be easily integrated by now a

Yet it has produced the most fruitful country the world has ever seen. The genius of the document is that it assumes the corruption of a centralized power and provides the proper counter measures to return the power to the people.

Now we have come full circle. Another politically blind piece of hackery journalism with a giant log in its own eye.

Saying something over and over does not make it true.

That does not allow you to buy stock based on what Trump picks.

Or just simply pointing out the usual blind political hypocrisy ...

You can actually buy an iOS app that mimicks Nancy Pelosi stock picks! Top that!

Political insider trading example par excellence.

I would be more likely to share this w others if the domain name didn't have an f-bomb in it. It doesn't bother me that much, but I really don't want to share it in certain circles...

Anything new or special in jj that allows me to work with large binary files simply? To me, this is still unsolved in terms of providing an elegant solution (e.g. things like Git Large File Storage (Git LFS) are awkward).
