Will these companies ever stop training new models? What does it mean if we get there. Feels like they will have to constantly train and improve the models, not sure what that means either. What ncremental improvements can these models show

If TPM is used then the regular session cookies are also secure, just in a different way. One can use hardware based attestation to tie the session token/cookie to the device and so they cannot be stolen or forged. DBSC will run into a

Wow this headline is quite striking. I wonder what happened all of a sudden for their fraud checks to fail. This is exactly the kind of issues where we could use insight from some insider. I am somehow not super optimistic that PayPal will

They are going to kill ACA, all of it is timed to kick in after the elections next year. They cannot really kill it because its a law, so they make it unaffordable and essentially be useless and unused

This is looking more like an enterprise cycle instead of a consumer one. I may be a bit jaded or over simplifying things, but I see this AI cycle as redoing enterprise workflows using AI. Not all of them will benefit from it and even then t

Shamelessness is the guiding mantra in politics too, I guess the author wanted to stay away from the most obvious and egregious example. I don’t think we will be able to turn the tide here though. The hustle culture of Silicon Valley tried

This is a good point. Stealing is a crime only for end users and not for companies. Why should end users feel any shame violating the DMCA when the government itself says it’s ok for companies to not honor it

I hear you, but they could have chosen performant crypto or low power crypto or some variant like that. For many lightweight reminds them of low effort ciphers. I see your point though For me if it comes from NIST, I trust it (even with the

With a d———- there is no nuance. You don’t get credit for fudging them and making them less bad, you save your job by releasing a positive number, the more positive the better. Truth be damned

Those qualifiers in front of cryptography are very different from lightweight. Lightweight doesn’t convey a good meaning in general and that is the main issue. I haven’t looked at the lightweight crypto proposals though but if NIST is propo

This solves the exploitation of H1B visas. However this tilts the scale towards the bigger companies. The small upstart cannot compete with Facebook or Tesla. I guess there is always someone disadvantaged with these proposals. Let’s see how

I am not so optimistic. The overall need this post describes will still exist. However the whole release cycle will be condensed severely. Coding takes the most time in a software cycle and if that is essentially zero now, we expect large s

Perplexity buying chrome would be a disaster, it just feels that way. Every vibe I got from that company is not good. They would commercialize every aspect of the browser so fast, as in insert ads everywhere. Again I just get that vibe.

For the most part there really is no need to use search in the traditional sense for knowledge. For information it’s still the only because llms are not reliable. But ChatGPT must have taken a huge dent in google’s traffic.
