The model's weights are fixed. Most clients let you specify the "temperature", which influences how the predictive output will navigate that possibility space. There's a surprising amount of accumulated entropy in the co

It's becoming increasingly more difficult to find cars that don't pull this nonsense, as removing physical controls (in favor of a fiddly awful touch OS) is a cost saving measure during manufacturing. ... also, whether I purchas

Well, imagine for a moment that the unwelcome participants are the ones against murder. Everyone currently in the group thinks murdering people who disagree with you is a fine way to solve problems. Outsiders might share insights and opin

Silksong starts very difficult compared to Hollow Knight, largely because there are many early foes that will deal 2 masks of damage. Those sorts of big attacks were generally reserved for mid to late bosses in Hollow Knight, and it caugh

This is my strategy as well. There are some issues I care about enough to follow, mostly related to lgbtq+ topics and technical regulations affecting my industry. But for the larger political sphere and what I hesitantly refer to as "h

I use this, but recently ran into an issue: I only have one Android device. It's great to be able to back up my secrets, but frustrating to need to spin up an emulator on my computer to run an Android app just to use the backups, if my

Never in those 20 years did I need one on Windows either. It turns out if you vet the software you install in the first place, malware is pretty rare. That isn't the bar for most regular users of software though. Working in retail tech

Social accountability, for one. Never underestimate shame as a motivating factor for humans. I'm generally in favor of protecting anonymity, so I'm not fully in agreement that this should be a hard requirement for a software proje

True for PayPal though. I just recently had to jump through seven different hoops to verify my ID (with creepy, creepy face scans) and they absolutely refused to even start the process on desktop. Eventually got the stupid thing to work on

At this point I'm firmly of the opinion that "leak this 10 digit code and anyone on the planet can call me relentlessly" is just a broken model. Maybe that worked better when the calls carried a significant cost, but clearly

One of the most common issues we helped customers solve when I worked in web hosting was low disk alerts, usually because the log rotation had failed. Often the content of those logs was exactly this sort of nonsense and had spiked recently

Just about nobody logs passwords on purpose. But really stupid IoT devices accept credentials as like query strings, or part of the path or something, and it's common to log those. The attacker is sending you passwords meant for a much

The sortof fun thing is that this happens with human safety teams too. The Swiss Cheese model is generally used to understand how the failures can line up to cause disaster to punch right through the guardrails: https://medium.co

Nope! The system does include a CIC lockout chip, but emulators pretend it doesn't exist. The CPU immediately begins executing game code at power on. There is no BIOS or operating system, and indeed no fixed ROM inside the console at a

The secret isn't the "4:30" part, it's the "do the thing" part. You can almost certainly squeeze something into 30 minutes of your day, somewhere convenient. So pick the convenient time and do that. I don&#x2

I mostly research and analyze retro hardware as a hobby, most of which was made in Japan. All of my research acquisitions at least doubled in price this month, and quite a few sellers have decided to stop shipping to me entirely until the t

It may be substantially simpler to acknowledge that there is no binding contract involved between me and the supplier of content B. Were this some sort of purchase or legal arrangement that I had consented to in some way, then the content p

And what is that cost, if you have it handy? Just as an example, my Radeon VII can perfectly well run smaller models, and it doesn't appear to use more power than about two incandescent lightbulbs (120 W or so) while the query is runni

You might as well be my dream self writing a journal, because this describes my experience 1:1. It's kindof wild how long it took me to realize that I wasn't overheating at night due to the weather or the A/C being broken, bu

Additionally, regardless of naming, debouncing is an accessibility feature for a surprisingly large portion of the population. Many users who grew up with double-click continue to attempt to provide this input on web forms, because it mostl

Python even has venv and other tooling for this sort of thing. Though, admittedly I seem to have dodged most of this by not seriously writing lots of python until after Python3 had already happened. With any luck the maintainers of the la

Very helpfully, python has stuck around for just as long and is almost always a better choice against these two specific tools for anything complicated. It's not perfect, but I'm much more likely to open a random python script I w

Indeed, it's called Plasma Search, available in system settings. Providers can be enabled, disabled, and configured at will. I can't imagine it would be all that difficult to code your own and get it hooked up in there, if you wer

All of them. That's at the explicit request of the user. I'm not sure where the downvotes are coming from, since I agree with all of these points. The training thing has merely pissed off lots of server operators already, so the

If the LLM were running this sort of thing at the user's explicit request this would be fine. The problem is training. Every AI startup on the planet right now is aggressively crawling everything that will let them crawl. The server is

The general idea is for the signature to be random each time, but verifiable. There are a bajillion approaches to this, but a simple starting point is to generate a random nonce, encrypt it with your private key, then publish it along with

My intuition is that you are correct: the bucket doesn't eliminate all breeding grounds. It's a numbers game: you want to lower the population as much as possible. If you reduce the population enough, nature has the opportunity to

An argument I tend to hear is risk management, since the adult industries deal with a higher level of fraud. (And shameful refunds, perhaps somewhat understandably.) I think what we are likely reacting to is a legitimate desire to curb this
