“What I find strange is how resigned the AI labs seem about this behavior, like everyone's accepted this is just something models do.”

Because these models are made for all kind of purposes, and I’m starting to believe that offense / cyber warfare is a much higher priority than these labs are acknowledging.

The same model that is heavily trained to find nefarious ways to break into systems is also optimizing your code, which leads to mixed behavior.

Fusion has been 10 years away for the past 3 decades.

(I think fusion is great, by the way, but I just don’t believe any timelines at this point anymore)

Yes, but at the same time, it’s also a good, simple use case to test a new plugin system. I can totally understand that.

I think it’s a reference to “CC’ing” someone by email (they also use that in the examples).

Isn’t this effectively what systems like /dev/(u)rand do? Pool multiple random sources together to hedge against these things?

I fail to see why one should either rely on a single random source nor roll their own.

Back in the day - maybe two decades ago - I implemented language detection like this.

I seeded gzip compressors’ dictionaries with Wikipedia articles in different languages.

I would then try to use said dictionaries on any random text, and the one that was best able to compress it, was the correct language.

Absolutely totally not the best approach, but very fast and super simple to implement.

Maybe people are feeling confident to put their masks off with the stuff that’s happening in the US?

This comment is needlessly hostile and adds no value to the conversation.

I’m surprised that you haven’t noticed this yourself, this is an incredibly common issue.

I always thought that it was perhaps referencing something that’s in its hidden thinking tokens, but the grandparent’s explanation could also very well be it.

This is a very common practice called retargeting / behavioral targeting and has existed for about 2 decades at this point. Facebook is hardly the only company that does this.

Modern browsers are more strict towards third party cookies, but there are plenty of ways to work around this.

It baffles me how shortsighted the policymaking here is. Like, what did they expect to happen?

This was exactly what I meant yes.

That has a very different meaning than literal stealing.

Didn’t they not just switch employers but actually handed over a lot of proprietary documents from Apple?

Why is it more relevant today?

As someone who had their first internet connection through NLnet in the 90s (later UUnet I think?), I’m so pleasantly surprised the impact that the organization has for open source projects globally.

That project in itself looks very interesting. How are people using it, any examples of how people get this into an actual report / CI test / benchmark / whatever ?

> Tighter integration than UK

Sounds like it could be a solution for the UK as well, which begs the question: why wasn’t a similar proposal worked out with the uk?

Title misses a (2020)

Yeah but that doesn’t work when you’re using C++ to implement another language where people can do anything they want, including circular references.

Perhaps the external enemy being able to do these things is, in fact, their own failure in a way.

I’ve just asked a friend of mine who lives in PNG and yeah, this definitely happened. Nowadays it doesn’t happen anymore except potentially in some insanely remote areas.

Supposedly the Japanese during WW2 also resorted to cannibalism.

Rewrites require a lot of effort, significantly more than just adding comments. It’s a pragmatic tool until you actually have the time to do the rewrite.

This was already known when Apple Intelligence was first announced years ago so nothing surprising there.

Seems like this is a draft / filler that was supposed to be updated. At least it’s not AI.

Yeah as long as the audience is there, people will keep posting on Twitter.

But that doesn’t matter a lot when some nation state is using their own AI to hack US assets, right? How, exactly, would a lockdown or slowdown prevent that?

If history has shown one thing it’s that China often capitalizes very well on these types of measures.

Eh, SREs are generally considered harder to get into with more responsibility than regular development roles, unless I misunderstood what you meant with “reliability”.

That article seems to arrive to the same conclusion as I did (“we need IP KVM”) without offering any solid choices?

Which solutions perform well?

What’s a decent quality IP KVM solution that’s not too expensive? We’re looking to put a dozen of mac minis in a collocation, and currently investigating solutions for remote access.
