someonebaggy··on OpenAI "rogue" agent activities found on Wikimedia projects
And infinite money. When you start a debt, you get money.
someonebaggy··on Mystery Function
Idk - a pretty normal one. Why not just let the keyboard keyboard?
someonebaggy··on Huawei and Qualcomm announce broad patent license agreement
Only Starlink can use the Starlink spectrum too. You're free to seek your own spectrum.
someonebaggy··on OpenAI "rogue" agent activities found on Wikimedia projects
In that religion, finding weird loopholes in God's laws is seen as a good thing, and something that entertains God. Whereas hacking is hacking.
someonebaggy··on Our approach to EU text provenance rules
Added during sampling by adding a bias to token probabilities in places where several tokens are equally likely.
someonebaggy··on Our approach to EU text provenance rules
If someone causes financial loss by posting LLM text and is then found to have removed a watermark. Everything in civil law is implicitly inside a if(someone harmed && they sue you) {} block.
someonebaggy··on Mystery Function
Scrolling down to reach the HTML keyboard, and then back up to see what I typed, is obnoxious. I have a keyboard installed, and it doesn't pop up because something on the page tells my browser it doesn't need to. Was this vibecoded?
someonebaggy··on Mold Linker Version 3.0.0 Release – Rewritten in Rust
Maybe it should be rewritten in Rust then
someonebaggy··on OpenAI "rogue" agent activities found on Wikimedia projects
They have infinite money and nothing else but smoke and mirrors.
someonebaggy··on OpenAI "rogue" agent activities found on Wikimedia projects
Who besides OpenAI said OpenAI were supposed to be stewards of the internet?
someonebaggy··on OpenAI "rogue" agent activities found on Wikimedia projects
They still get to sue for damages if a law was broken

I remember a case from Germany where an elderly lady chose to speed down the pedestrian sidewalk and bike lane and mowed down a whole family in central Berlin. 4 deaths I think, no charges, no suspension.
someonebaggy··on The future of independence is interdependence
against capitalism's nature, you mean
someonebaggy··on Beating the Compiler
Consider a kernel that boots on several different machines with different capabilities. Patching the call instructions at init time, to point to either one version or another of a frequently used function, saves time.
someonebaggy··on Qualcomm licenses patents on Huawei’s LogicFolding chip tech
Is it trolling if they actually invented the technology?
someonebaggy··on Huawei and Qualcomm announce broad patent license agreement
It's not like the standards have official legal status. You're allowed to develop your own mobile network technology that isn't 5G and doesn't infringe any patents - the government isn't saying that only 5G can be 5G, so it's a theoretically fair playing ground.
someonebaggy··on Huawei and Qualcomm announce broad patent license agreement
Protests never accomplish law changes - the most they can do is bring together the people who care enough about something to protest it.
someonebaggy··on Huawei and Qualcomm announce broad patent license agreement
Can the US government prove they did (a headline is not proof)? Can Qualcomm even enforce patents against Huawei anyway, or vice versa? Maybe they're just handshake-agreeing on the status quo.
someonebaggy··on Mold Linker Version 3.0.0 Release – Rewritten in Rust
Maybe that's about to flip. Maybe Rust will be built first, followed by C.
someonebaggy··on Mold Linker Version 3.0.0 Release – Rewritten in Rust
I actually made a Linux distribution that relies on this being your latest comment, since you didn't say this wouldn't always be your latest comment. If you post any newer ones, it will break.

Edit: darn, it broke

someonebaggy··on Mold Linker Version 3.0.0 Release – Rewritten in Rust
The complaint is about bootstrapping, where speed is of little relevance.
someonebaggy··on Pixel 11 doesn't yet meet the GrapheneOS security standards and may be skipped
But you don't because you don't have the money to afford infinite free oranges. If you did, you wouldn't be running a fruit stall.
someonebaggy··on Differences Between `Foldl` and `Foldr`
Folding 'fold' into contortions to use it as a generic List iterator does not "provide clarity".
someonebaggy··on Beating the Compiler
That depends how far in advance of running the code you're modifying it. You could see a JIT compiler as an extreme type of SMC. Or a Monero miner - its hashing algorithm relies on running randomly generated programs.
someonebaggy··on The Escalation of War in Ethiopia
So is "Jews" but yet, it's very suspicious when anyone in a political argument suddenly starts talking about "the Jews".
someonebaggy··on The era of software quality, or the era of ostriches?
But you get to use hyperbole to defend your side? No, I'm not interested in fighting Brandolini's Law.
someonebaggy··on Apple and a hacker's future
What's stopping you from reverse engineering that module?
someonebaggy··on Mold Linker Version 3.0.0 Release – Rewritten in Rust
Numbered throwaway account means you know this is against the guidelines.
someonebaggy··on Mold Linker Version 3.0.0 Release – Rewritten in Rust
No? Rust code has lower rates of exploitable vulnerabilities than C or C++ code.
someonebaggy··on Mold Linker Version 3.0.0 Release – Rewritten in Rust
It's possible to write safe code in C or C++ but it's extremely difficult to read existing code and prove it's safe, without using as much effort as it takes to write it in the first place. This includes the code you wrote last month whose surrounding code has changed. And you have to be right every time while the attacker only needs you to be wrong once. The problem is not writing the code, it is continually verifying it.
