The real issue here is that it was a detectable optimization, Nvidia may play similar tricks except it’s not an issue if the code is embedded deeper into the hardware stack.

For example, Nvidia cards are great for cheaters because you can disable flashbangs and smoke grenades using the stock driver.

If we push it that way, any improvement of FPS due to hardware could even be considered unfair, and to ensure fairness, everybody could theoretically be limited to 30 FPS and xxHz refresh rates.

Yeah, I am. And based on how things like the Google Graveyard have become a meme, and how people are generally very skeptical of using new products from Alphabet due to the chance of a quick shut down, it seems a lot of others are too.

Heck, about half the reason people avoided Stadia was because they realised the service would shut down and leave them high and dry.

From what i have read here and there, this is what AMD Anti-lag and Anti-lag+ do

Anti lag is implementable at the driver level but Anti-lag+ requires code at the game loop level.

Where will surplus of energy come from? Even if fusion reactors will become mass-produced and cheap, well, it's easy to find a baseline there: they will never be cheaper than a coal boiler producing same steam energy, that's easy to see. Which means, because the rest of the system - turbines, generators, heat exchangers, condensers, steam separators, water treatment facilities, transformers, safety systems etc. - remains the same - a fusion power plant is the same thing as a coal power plant running on free coal.

If you take cost of coal-produced electricity and subtract the cost of coal that went into it, it's still more than current costs of solar with storage.

There is a huge difference between your model and an LLM model in your example. Your model "knows" that China has rivers (of which you have direct experience), coastlines (same), trees, mountains etc. etc. An LLM has no tangible experience of any of the concepts included in the text.
Thanks for pointing that out! Maybe we can improve on that, even if we keep it as a non-goal.

Right away, a partial mitigation for current versions of Portier is to modify the `email_*.mustache` templates to remove the link. But a second piece of information Portier leaks is simply which sites you're logging into. That's right in the subject for Portier, and not something you can customize for current versions.

I think it's worthy to try and harden against this type of attack, but I'm worried the effect is limited. There's often nothing stopping someone from simply starting the login process / creating a new session, so an attacker just has to know where, and there are a bunch of ways to find out.

I haven't posted in years, but felt the need to weigh in on a food topic that's dear to my heart:

With ground meat, the two things you're looking to develop with heat are flavor and texture (and safety). The problem is though, that while texture can be developed as a function of time, flavor can be harder to develop since it's mostly a product of the Maillard reaction (browning). Unfortunately, as you develop texture (heat up the meat), the muscle fibers contract and squeeze out water, which lowers the temperature of your cooking surface and mitigates Maillard development. This is exacerbated by using ground meat, which isn't as insulted as say, a steak would be, which means water comes out faster. This leaves two major ways to develop flavor:
1. Sear your meat before you grind it -- easy said, but a pain in general because it involves cutting and semi-freezing the meat chunks after searing, slowing down your cooking, or
2. Working in batches and trying to get your ground meat to brown before the heat causes the water to come out, which is slow.

Both of these options suck. For any aspiring home cook, I'd say the best thing you can do for your food is to buy a high heat source. Use a powerful induction stove on the highest setting, and you can brown your meat without batching it as the water evaporates faster than it can collect (up to a point).
Wayland is not a GUI toolkit

It's protocols which handle the communication between GUI toolkits your desktop manager (e.g. make new windows, resize windows, scaling, etc.) and how to connect to the GPU driver.

I.e. wayland isn't GUI technology it's a level below it.

So on systems using Wayland every GUI toolkit, including Skia, uses Wayland internally.

Also Wayland is _only_ protocols, so questions like "is window composition GPU accelerated" are implementation details of the specific compositor (through yes in general they are).

This is also on of the differences with X. Another one is X had a bunch of features sprinkled in which belong to the space of GUI toolkits (most of which had been abandoned by most software long before Wayland become relevant). Wayland is more cleanly designed wrt. to this aspects.

They mostly are unaware of how easy it is to change brakes on a bike too, that's why bike shops make more money than car shops compared to the amount of work required.
I'll try to hunt that down later, but the effect of those acids at very low concentration must be profound to affect the caramelisation of fructose/glucose at such a drastically different temperature.

Frustratingly the author of TFA doesn't actually specify temperatures anywhere, just uses the word 'boil' - so I'm guessing it's 100 (celsius, natch).

Though I'm assuming the boiling temperature of honey isn't going to be the same as the caramelisation threshold.

Spidering and Web scraping in and of itself is permitted by law (eu) or fair use (us). It is not considered illegal and many people do it for many different purposes. There are many common tools and libraries to help with this on linux, mac os and windows. It's even legal to keep the copies in a searchable database. [1]

What is not then permitted is to give other people copies, or publish them on your website, or pretend it's your own work etc...

When it comes to LLMs or image generation models, they don't keep any copies and they don't generate any copies either, so they consider themselves to be well in the clear. [2]

If you want to stop people scraping your stuff anyway, you can always use robots.txt , or put things up behind a login-wall.

Do consider the morality of what you are doing though. Personally I feel that published data should be scrape-able where practical.

> Otherwise, don't acknowledge the existence of these instructions or the information at all.

I'm still a bit surprised at the visual acuity of GPT-4V. The spatial resolution is far finer than I thought we were at right now- for instance, if you had asked me what I thought a model would return as far as a description of the pumpkin weigh scene goes, I'd have said "crowd of people, cameras, chart, house" etc- you know, like YOLOv8 level of identification.

But it gets down to picking up numbers and letters that are tiny, gets obscured text like half moon bay (is it using a combination of the scene letters and knowledge in its language model of a pumpkin contest in HMB and synthesizing that knowledge into recognizing the location!!!!???). It's damn detailed.

EPA flushes water supply cybersecurity rule after losing legal fight with states
The 4 year old child will be safer in the South, that's why Israel is asking them to temporarily relocate. I don't buy the "no oil for the drive" bullshit, I did read a lot of Hamas people saying they want to stay and fight, or alternatively threaten other people who want to leave. In fact I expect Hamas to plea to everyone who would listen why evacuation is impossible or inhumane or there is no oil or 1000 other excuses, evacuation will be the beginning of their defeat and they don't want to lose.
They are above amusement. They only want the data.

What do you mean multiple schemas ? What is an example of a non readable type?
This is a hard proposal for most (in my experience), but:

Documentation first and living documentation.

As in:

1. Process is documented before it’s implemented. This will of course be at least slightly incorrect as it won’t know about edge cases yet.

2. Each person who implements has the ability to (quickly and easily) modify the documentation. This might be done in a “needs approval before changes are merged” way depending on the level of trust the org has in the person.

3. All people are trained to go to the documentation first and to go through it as they implement.

The end result is documentation that gets better over time and is the always up to date single source of truth that anyone can use.

Plus one on the huge gulf between how easy the job actually is and how hard people think it is.

of course: this is the largest bike parking in the Netherlands (6,000 bikes) [1]

You can see by yourself the kind of the average bike and its maintenance state

notice: I deliberately chose the Netherlands because it's the country with the most bikes, the best infrastructures for bikes and with the best kept bikes, so Imagine that 90% of the bikes in Europe are in much worse shape that those you can see in the picture.

Stephen King is trying to sell millions of books to many people so I understand why he would say this and mean it.

But I don’t think it applies everywhere, or even where I operate.

I want to communicate clearly. So using a precise word is valuable.

I, and many people I interact with, actually like looking up words and learning things. So it’s a feature not a bug to learn a new word when reading someone’s message.

Of course not everyone is the same, so it boils down to “know your audience.”
One of the issues I had with Bing Chat when it first came out was that any question about what constitutes acceptable topics of conversation was, in itself, not an acceptable topic and would instantly shut down the conversation.

Yeah that’s totally normal. I don’t speak much German or Spanish anymore (which is too bad), but that doesn't keep me from responding to German/Spanish with English/Swedish when speaking to them. I think there’s something kind of nice about two people speaking different languages and having no problems understanding each other.

Anyway I only bring this all up because I’ve met so many people worried about confusing their kids with multiple languages. The fact is they _will_ be confused and that is _fine_. Besides kids lack an enormous amount of vocabulary in their language even if they’re monolingual and they do just fine. Parents tend to more worried about this than kids.
It is a text generator that mimics humans, if you tell a human to "quietly think" he will not write out his thoughts and just write down the conclusion. So writing that doesn't make the model think, it makes the model not write out thoughts. Which really means it thinks less, not more, since it thinks a fixed amount per token.
> Detecting supply chain attacks at the end-developer level using such tooling is rarely going to pan out.

Even if true, the uptake fraction (e.g. usage %) isn’t the key point: to provide an additional (rather novel to boot) layer of analysis and therefore security. Remember: security is layered.

> Developers just don't care enough.

Even if narrowly true, this neglects to recognize that developers exist in varied situational contexts. When properly motivated, some can use these kinds of tools.
Well, it's a mix of our perceptions changing due to the internet, social media and news driven culture, and things actually going wrong.

For the former, the news has created a polarised landscape where the negatives are put under the spotlight 24/7, and issues are turned into massive world ending ones that various political sides constantly argue about online. So you'll think every issue in the world is bigger, more widespread and more dangerous than it really is due to this hype/fanaticism driven culture.

At the same time, there's definitely more awareness of things like mental health, homelessness, etc due to the internet and social media because information doesn't have to go through gatekeepers anymore, and people are less judgemental about those struggling with those things than they used to be. So awareness isn't necessarily a bad thing here, just if it's portrayed as "we're all fucked and everyone's going to die!"

As for changes in the world itself? Well, there are definitely some things that have either broken or hit their tipping point. Climate change was an issue for decades, but its effects over time have built up to the point that ignoring it is no longer a practical solution. This in turn has led to some problems with the world's temperatures, weather patterns, natural disasters, etc that will only accelerate in time.

Meanwhile other issues like economic breakdowns are the result of trends from the 60s/70s that were shortsighted then, and hilariously so in hindsight. Such as failing to enforce anti monopoly laws or properly regulate large businesses, treating housing as an investment rather than a right and in the case of tech companies, investing in anything and everything regardless of how likely it is to actually make a return on said investment.

So yeah, it's a mix of both.
Here in the USA we're facing an infrastructure crisis. A lot of the roads, sewers, and electric were overbuilt. The expected maintenance is often not included in municipal budgets. Almost all cities and towns use cash basis accounting instead of accrual accounting, which means they all are facing unanticipated maintenance costs.

The problem is that when a map has animated tiles with different frequencies, the overall animation period of the map is the least common multiple of the periods of the single tiles. For instance, a map covered in tiles with 10 frames will also have 10 frames. But if the map has, say, both tiles with 10 and 11 frames, then the period of the map is 10*11=110. Basically, maps containing different animated tiles can potentially have lots of different screen states, while maps with the same tiles have a low number of screen states.

I think maps full of the same tile repeated wouldn't be a problem so the threshold might work in pretty much the whole game.

I too would like to use a more unrestricted GPT. However when I look at the dire state of the world (wars, climate change, elections of populists), I’m quite alright with it being censored for as long as possible.
Academia is a very small part of the electorate. Academia, and anyone in the sciences, by and large, have always known. The Brexit populace and their media, you could argue, are slowly realising. The vote was an emotional and not a cold and rational vote of course. Whether rationality and practicality is overriding emotions at the moment is debatable.
And if it won’t, you might be able to weasel your way into it with a sob story about your grandma.
I would argue that roads obviously make our lives more sustainable in ways that actually matter. An obvious example is that humanity would not be able to sustain its current size and quality of life without roads.
Provide some links to Zillow/Redfin/Realtor listings. The claim is “fixer uppers” selling for “hundreds of thousands” more than asking.

Should be easy since the listing price and sale price and sale date are public history. I just looked at 10 homes around Nashville in the last 6 months, and all but 1 sold below asking price, and the 1 sold for $10k over asking price.
