Playing against subtle cheaters is imo more rage inducing once you realize it's actually happening. New or poor players won't notice and won't call them out on it or participate in a votekick because they genuinely can't tell the player is cheating. Average to good players get tilted because they might have enough game knowledge to know something is off but not notice it every time or be able to call out exactly what's happening. They end up second guessing too much. And you can't improve and get better playing against subtle cheaters because they're going to be doing things you just can't. Great players can probably tell more often than not but they're going to quit in droves when they realize the playing field isn't fair. Subtle cheating is much more destructive to a games longevity because trust in public matches is heavily eroded over time. Rage hackers you can just kick/ban/leave the match yourself because it's obvious.
The SRAM that AMD is stacking also has the benefit of being last-level cache, so it doesn't need to run at anywhere near the frequency and voltage that eg. L1 cache operates at.

Also, Apple's fear of I/O has crippled the Vision Pro. If they had put a (3-D-capable) video input on it, it would have instantly found uses amongst gamers, 3-D artists, travelers, programmers, cinematographers... but instead it's another Apple product that's profoundly hobbled into being a toy.

I worked there in the weird era. A couple things.

1. As per usual, the things that make palantir well known not even close to being the most dubious things.

2. I agree that the rank and file of palantir is no different from typical sv talent.

3. The services -> product transition was cool, I didn't weigh it as much as should've, but I did purchase fomo insurance after they ipo'd

4. The shadow hierarchy was so bad, it's impossible to figure out who you actually needed to talk to.

> The biggest one is dealing with all the leaves in the fall. If your yard is big enough, you can easily lose a whole weekend to cleaning up the dropped leaves so that they don't kill your grass over the winter and spring. You also have to clean them out of the gutters multiple times a year, around the foundation, etc.

These kinds of comments are hilarious to me. Having a mulching mower makes leaf maintenance a breeze. Owning a house comes with responsibilities. If you're not going to keep up with things, then hire it out. If you're not even going to bother with that, then boy, I don't know. Some people just come across as the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

I thought you were at least going to come out with limbs falling on the house, but you just went with sheer lack of wanting to do yard work. I appreciate the laugh

Gamesense: a mental model of the game by which players can anticipate and pre-empt the actions of other players.

A CS:GO player with good gamesense will habitually keep their crosshairs at head height and aim at corners where an enemy is likely to emerge. They'll have an intuitive sense of how long it takes to run from one point on the map to another. They'll listen through walls for footsteps to try and decode where the enemy are, where they're headed to and what strategy they might be about to attempt.

To the uninitiated, it looks a lot like cheating - you peek through a window and instantly get headshotted before you've had any chance to react. To the guy who hit you, it's just basic gamesense - you did a predictable thing and he punished you for it.

Good for you. I can't sleep sitting on plane. The only times I've been able to to sleep is (1) getting a free upgrade to 1st class where I could lie down (2) a mostly empty plane where I could stretch out across three seats.
Isn't medical insurance the same? On average, the sum benefit you get from insurance is less than the total amount you pay.
You can do that with source-available software too, I'm not sure where you think open source comes in?
that... is not even close to comparable. A hurricane smashes a bunch of your local panels, you go and pick them up, and if they're too damaged throw them in landfill. Fukushima is going to cost between $470 billion and $660 billion to clean up. A solar "cleanup" would not even be a 10000th of that cost. Why even mention this?
The GCM IV thing didn't ring true to me either; in fact, the whole reason we have XAES-type constructions is to enable fully nondeterministic IVs, which don't fit comfortably in the GCM IV space.

Regarding padding oracles: it is most definitely not necessary for a target to generate a "padding error", or even an explicit error of any sort, to enable the attack.

Jetpack Compose has the benefit of being mostly open source. I can always crack open a misbehaving TextField to see what's going on underneath.

Reminds me of the story of how H Pylori was discovered to be the cause of many gastric ulcers by a couple of doctors who, after consistently finding it in ulcer patient cultures, decided to test their theory by deliberately ingesting H Pylori.

I bought a Voyage in 2015 and don't want to give it up. I like it more than any of the newer models I've tried. Battery life is starting to get poor, but even 'poor' gives me about a week of typical reading before I have to charge it again.
> Hi all, I am trying to build a simple LLM bot and want to add guard rails so that the LLM responses are constrained.

Give examples of how the LLM should respond. Always give it a default response as well (e.g. "If the user response does not fall into any of these categories, say x").

> I can manually add validation on the response but then it breaks streaming and hence is visibly slower in response.

I've had this exact issue (streaming + JSON). Here's how I approached it:
1. Instruct the LLM to return the key "test" in its response.
2. Make the streaming call.
3. Build your JSON response as a string as you get chunks from the stream.
4. Once you detect "key" in that string, start sending all subsequent chunks wherever you need.
5. Once you get the end quotation, end the stream.
At least I know I'm on the right track. I've been doing all those things!

Fortunately cross breeze often comes in off the river, which is cooler, and I'm far enough north that it doesn't break 100° more than once or twice a year, if that, so I guess maybe this is as good as it gets.

Hofstadter's followup article had a more interesting example.

When I first got a Byte magazine as a pre-teen, one of the articles was Lisp code for symbolic differentiation and algebraic simplification. I really couldn't follow it but felt there was something intriguing there. Certainly it wouldn't have been easier in Basic.

(Byte September 1981, AI theme issue. Later I was able to tell the code was not so hot...)

I didn't really get into Lisp until the late 80s with XLisp on a PC, and SICP. Worth the wait!

Those look pretty cool. Can you make the image from the input source fill your field of view? My issue with all of these headsets so far is the dumb "virtual screen" that's "equivalent to a 60-foot screen 100 feet away!"
You should be able to limit analysis for this type of detection to only the input leading up to a kill/hit and ignoring everything else. The majority of the time players are not shooting could be used to do the analysis with plenty of time to boot midway in a round let alone a full game.

Also simple analysis of only the input streams as you stated really doesn't have to do with the phys rate of the game server and should be alot cheaper computationally. It can be offloaded to another process even if it was found to be too impactful to run alongside the game server directly. Something all those extra cores might be good for.
I think that's my point. You still need a separate call to distinguish the nil rom the list of nil case.

At that point, if you're making the two calls how is LISP's behavior any more ergonomic than Scheme. I'm not saying it's not possible, I just don't see it.

Can you show code between the two and how one is much worse than the other?

China Security Group Urges Review of Intel's Chips as Tech Tension with US Rises
>It is very unclear to me how the situation of the middle class in the US becomes any better if the US gives up its leverage for Chinese to dictate the terms. FWIW pre-WW1 the US had even worse inequality while not propping up anyone's lifestyle abroad.

This was explained in the other post which I will reproduce here:

"looking at history of the US, the only time the people at the top ever gave any semblance of crumbs to everyone else was when they knew they were in deep trouble and were forced to part with whatever little they could give to calm the masses.

Think of Medicare, Social Security etc. We saw it again with Obamacare. The country was in a rage so out came the bare minimum. Elimination of barbaric things like pre-existing conditions in exchange for guaranteed income for the insurance companies. Absolute breadcrumbs but it was something.

We just need something like that on a worldwide level. Maybe China rising will finally put pressure on the US given that the EU never amounted to much more than being a US vassal state."

We saw the best of the US system during the cold war. The system had to prove itself. Im not advocating for communism nor Chinese style fascism just more competition.

The third world is already taking advantage of this situation. Nearly every country in the global south has been negatively damaged by the US or Europe at some point. They don't have many options other than to tough it out and hopes the West leaves them with whatever scraps they can get by. If they got too powerful, then the West topples them over. See Pakistan or Bolivia as a recent example. Now China has entered the scene and it has provided the ability for countries to start playing the US and China off of each other to see what they can get out of both countries. Djibouti and its military bases is a small example but we see it with countries like Brazil and Pakistan as well.

How would this help the middle class in the US? Well if the elite in the US start to think they will lose out they will start to enact change that will bring the middle class up to snuff in order to better compete...and lets be honest for a moment, whatever they say goes.
FYI. From article. It is an infection.
Came here hoping for an answer, sadly don't think this is my case. Gluten/Thyroid is pretty hard to nail down..

"Giardia lamblia, occasionally called “beaver fever,” is an easily treatable intestinal parasite, unlike celiac disease. If you’ve been backpacking long enough, you probably know someone who’s gotten it. Giardia is normally an acute infection that causes diarrhea, horrendous gas, and other intestinal malaise, but doctors can corral it easily with antibiotics. The chronic form of giardiasis is lesser known, however. The friend sent Johnson medical studies showing how chronic Giardia infection can cause celiac-like symptoms. "

As someone who works in generative vision, this is one of the most frustrating aspects (especially for those with less GPU resources). There's been a silent competition for picking the best images and not showing random results (even when there are random results they may be a selected batch). So it is hard to judge actual quality until you can play around.

Also, I'm not sure what laptop that is but they say 0.37s to generate a 1024x1024 image on a 4090. They also mention that it requires 16GB VRAM. But that laptop looks like a MSI Titan, which has a 4090, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the 4090 is the only mobile card with 16GB?[0] (I know desktop graphics have 16 for most cards). The laptop demo takes 4s to generate a 1024x1024 image. But they are chopped down quite a bit[1]

I wonder if that's with or without TensorRT

I guess it's readable source instead of open source.
I think we all would have been better off, with time & energy better spent if they had never tried to release like this, so discouraging others of trying to do the same is a feature, not a bug. For example, consider how much time I spent reading your comment & composing this response; it would have been better spent closing my eyes and taking some deep breaths for a minute or two.
