What's the problem exactly? Could you not follow the example in the text?
The standard text to build understanding in physics is University Physics by Sears & Zemansky.
It's worth remembering you're quite far from the ground in physics, and it's mostly taught with "neat" cases that give insight into physics. I.e. the thought experiment to show why kinetic energy must scale quadratically with velocity is carefully designed to show that conclusion. You shouldn't expect to have come up with it off the cuff.
> So if my theorem is correct, and Quake gutted id Software, was it worth it? Well I'd say yes absolutely. Games are more important than game companies, and Quake is an iconic titan of the gaming world.
I think I'd personally develop a minimal patch and then publically disclose.
I'm not sure it's be reasonable to leave an actively exploited critical bug until August. Nor would I be too interested in playing middle man or paying for support from curl to get it out.
Wonder if this means just publishing vulnerablities without contact with curl team would be responsible (you have no other path to tell vulnerable users)
> the White House intends to generally regulate Mythos-class models (whatever exactly that means)
This is not at all surprising. And I hope people don't make the mistake that it's a "this administration" problem.
It was obviously from the early days of these LLMs that the shoe was going to drop and we (as Joe public) would not retain access. I mean that once ChatGPT3 dropped it was clear there was some level of functionality at which we would be denied further access.
The only carve out will be as per older technical innovations the US is more concerned with foreign national access than US citizen access at home.
I don't remember the details with encryption but it was basically you have to ship a breakable version for the rest of the world, and you generally sometimes ship a backdoored version.
And Anthropic is more concerned by what they are asked to do to US citizens than the broader group.
Same story with encryption, CPUs, GPUs, blah blah blah.
It feels like there is precisely enough information to deduce each step. But only just enough miss one clue and you have something on upside down on step 7 that you won't notice until step 37.
I feel whoever makes them could probably make a wicked NY Times Crossword puzzle.
Importantly my work involves me often being able to look at C and think about the assembly and back and I regularly work on ESP32, ch42(riscv) and atmega avr8.
I couldn't do that with mciropython on any platform.
And it seems very few proteins appear to be significant problems.
The most famous is the prion protein which can misfold in ways to cause a variety of contagious diseases. Like mad cow disease, chronic wasting disease, scrapie and in humans CJD and vCJD, fatal familial insomnia, Kuru, GSS.
Perhaps because misfoldings of the prion protein can convert others but why is it all affecting that same protein? Always baffled me why aren't other/many proteins suspitible to becoming a prion?
There are others we call "prionoid" because they can have shades of the catetrosphic misfolding prion can.
I know this is a crazy take. But I go feel so down trodden by many many tech corps these days I find it hard not to have a smidge of satisfaction for this guy pointing out the colossal favour research developers do for them by responsible disclosure.
That said, I feel bad for the inevitable victims of exploitation and also I am certain he will end up criminalized or as per usual the law will enforce a large corps will against him.
Yes. Definitely a Friday night after a hard week take.
Yes I'd happily buy one if it's quality matched the price and I'm sure in Japan it often does.
I have done some simple leather crafts, and I think the design clearly is suitable for building with rivets and full grain leather, if they do use that today then it'll be a spectacular product.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a flash in the pan (although the asymmetric horror genre continues basically dominated by dead by daylight).
Yet, the sheer exhilaration I felt the first time one of the "killers" walked past me as I kneeled in a bush was quite spectacular.
It's not the same as splinter cell (it's much more chaotic, you don't get to totally dominate the enemies, it definitely doesn't have that mindful quite as you systematically work your way through a level you know we'
ll).
But the key, I can stand in the right spot and human can't see me really is its own kind of feeling.
This study tracked study resource usage in 2021 and mentions a study in 2006.
In 2006 medical students spent 10.8hours per week studying with textbooks, on 2021 4.2hours.
So under 40% the textbook usage as 2006. That's a fairly precipitous decline and it's pre-LLMs being mainstream. I down chatgpt 4/5 have sent the students back to the library!
It mentions question banks have expanded as have online resources. Also learning style has changed from lecture based to problem based learning.
I can't say this is objectively bad. But that I'm sure it contributes to narrowed knowledge bases.
I'm similar, I think perhaps it's a generational thing which slightly modified the title in a pedantic way.
The people who "grew up" with text books still crack new ones and old ones.
The current generation turning 18-21 don't.
It surprises me because I'm often asked why I knew X or Y odd perhaps esoteric fact or design pattern. Usually it's because I came across it in a book interested in something else.
It's that peripheral knowledge that is being lost when people use LLMs, and quick start guides.
Historically you'd have a team where skill, knowledge and experience was very variable but each person often brought another piece of the puzzle to a team.
Increasingly people have narrow knowledge "bases".
Does it matter? Perhaps not but it definitely has taken some of the joy of discussing problems and solutions out of my working life.
They aren't the bugs you get when you write it in Rust.
The kind of bugs you get are usually a function of the problem, language, implementation approach.
