  • Decimen Lets You Send Files Through Light, Not a Network

    I mean, that's a new interface type, but it is a network.

    If two machines are exchanging data, that's the definition of a network.

  • Actually, there are completely mechanical self-winding watches. They'll never need a battery as long as you wear them occasionally.

  • I don't think AI generated images can ever beat the trove of ridiculousness that is stock photos.

  • I love the optimism of the idea that this belongs in Not The Onion. This headline should belong in Not The Onion...

    I vaguely remember the days when this would have been an outlandish headline, makes me feel nostalgic.

  • OpenAI Says Astra Solved 10 Open Math Problems With Lean Proofs: The proof files are public, but the new model is still private.

    Jump

  • The current examples of AI could never be described as a general intelligence let alone Superintelligence. These LLMs are definitely just a typing monkey (that was eloquently put).

    They are literally generating text word by word with a next-word-prediction methodology.

    With some tweaking they can be made to produce mostly coherent code and apparently also equations that balance. This does not make these algorithms geniuses. A calculator can also balance an equation, so that alone is not impressive.

    The techniques LLM designers use to leverage statistical models in order to generate coherent sentences are actually rather impressive. It is legitimately quite a feat to make LLMs work as well as they do. But that does not mean that these outputs are anything like "thinking", they're just outputs. Data goes in, the machine churns, does some mystery math, and different data comes out.

    These systems are not worth anthropomorphizing.

  • It's not that hard. You keep it in your backpack, and never take it out the whole day while school is in session.

  • Well for one thing, the Internet used to be cool and interesting. Now it's shitty and sad.

  • Welcome to America, where you’re never quite sure if your senator is dead or not

    Jump

  • In some positions, not showing up with no heads up, no explanation, can cost the company a shitload of money. Filmmaking for example, you might have a location booked to shoot at for the day, some important person doesn't show up, you can't shoot your scenes. And actors aren't the only people who could potentially hold up a shoot.

  • Google shuts down its Nobel-prize winning AlphaFold project as it focuses on Gemini

  • We just need a blanket ban on generative AI. The societal costs are just too high, we can't bear it. We can continue on our path like this for years and dig ourselves into a deeper hole before admitting it, or we could just admit it now and save ourselves the pain.

    I know what I would vote.

  • In any normal job, you'd get fired by day 3 of no show, no explanation.

    Some jobs would just take 1 day.

    But it's ok, being a congressman isn't like an important job or anything, right?

  • FreeBSD Just Removed The Last Of Its GPL-Licensed Code

    Jump

  • So this sounds like a bad thing then...

    Like if having gpl code in free bsd forced all these companies to be more open with their software, and now they can be more closed with it, isn't that bad?

  • Microsoft responds to LG monitors installing McAfee ads on Windows

  • I mean, it's possible, if you really fuck it up in some way, but not from regular use.

    Replacing the compressor once is still going to be cheaper than replacing a fridge every 5 years.

    In my basement I have a freezer from the 60s. It needs to be defrosted every year or two, but aside from that it's never needed servicing, not once. I'm telling you, the older it is, the longer it will last.

  • 2 Million Cars with Anti-Theft Systems Installed by Dealers are at Higher Risk of Theft due to Bluetooth Flaw Which Expose Them to Unlocking Attacks

    Jump

  • I hate to say it, but this is somewhat common for security measures. Anything that has low level control over a system is inherently an additional vector for attack, it increases your "attack surface".

    Now if designed properly it can certainly be helpful and reduce your vulnerability, but bugs in the system could also leave a user more vulnerable than they were without the additional "protections".

  • US accuses American of allegedly wiping his phone using a 'duress' password during border search

    Jump

  • I don't believe you can be compelled to provide a password. That does after all (at the very least) constitute speech. And freedom of speech is also freedom of non-speech, they can't make you say something.

    They will however try to make you do that... In many situations authorities are allowed to lie to you. So that's sucks. They can tell you that you're required to unlock your phone, you just have to know that your not actually.

    Also they can't make you say anything, but they can make you do things, like for instance "put your finger here" or "look into this camera", which is why biometric unlock is unsafe around cops.

  • Honestly, fridges are a total crapshoot these days. If you have a 15+ year old fridge, never replace it, get it repaired, the quality level in new fridges is terrible.
