When I had started my PhD, I thought the writing part of a paper was just the last thing I needed to do to summarize my results, like a boring epilogue to the more exciting science. What surprised me was how much of the…
It should be called the Chuck Palahniuk neuron.
It’s been going on for far longer, people want to believe all OpenAI and Anthropic are doing is pure marketing. When the first Fable results were released, everybody was skeptical (which is rational), but with every…
Or, you know, you could just pay for a service that you enjoy. I watch a lot more YouTube and see a bigger need to keep it alive than Netflix, HBO and co for which I am paying good money already, why should YouTube be…
That was always true according to an old saying in software cracking circles: „everything is open source if you know reverse engineering“
It really is very common here in Germany to get an alarm that a WW2 bomb was found somewhere near you, telling people close by to evacuate. Like every couple of months. It doesn’t even register with people, I don’t know…
Not the one you asked but I genuinely think it’s possible that a part of the answer is the psychological effect of getting used to models performing well and picking up more if they fail, but also … If you have a…
Similar use case here! Combining AI with fuzzers is so powerful, especially for creating a special fuzzing harness, or generating seeds for hard to reach code. That was taking hours/days and was frustratingly boring…
I honestly do not understand why we let it continue when we have been seeing the drastic negative effects for years now. The recommendation algorithm and the data it relies on must be opened up to to some kind of…

Grok? The model that was deliberately adjusted to not say that Elon Musk or Trump spread misinformation? No idea how people can actually believe that Musk is interested in the truth.…
idalib with Claude Code already works really well. But honestly, despite what people have been saying, LLMs have been very good at decompiling for at least two years now, I have been using it for that purpose regularly.…
The thoughts you are having about this show me that you are at a local maximum, but you will find your way out if you keep trying everything. There is no single thing that will help. Read novels, copy them word by word,…
That’s too bad because I think the last episode is brilliant. I think about it a lot even years after seeing it.
I must say I expected an actual poisoning of the data used to train the LLM and was excited, but the examples indicate that the LLM just searched the web and reported what it found? When you create a website with fake…
Ten years ago multiple tech giants openly stated they would not help the Trump administration build a Muslim registry [1]. Since then, several of them have bowed the knee and donated to his second inauguration. I’m from…
Also: malware often tries to detect a VM or an emulator too, for example Windows Defender uses an emulator internally to detonate samples, and there are attempts by malware to detect this and change the behavior to…
Modern ransomware are not just encrypting data but uploading them somewhere too, the victim is then threatened with a leak of the data. A backup does not save you from that.

It may be maddening to them because you are implying that physical color mixing is somehow that one defining thing that makes it art. Imagine someone said that about writing a book: if you don't write it by hand but use…
This is true, that's how I'm getting therapy right now. I was scared this was too much paperwork for me at first, but my therapist explained that I basically needed to only do three things: (1) go to a GP (Hausarzt) and…
Why didn't MSN become what WhatsApp is today? I always wondered how they could screw this up. Smartphones are perfect for chat apps, that's basically what they are supposed to be used for, and MSN / ICQ already covered…
