The paper [PDF], which includes voices from numerous academic institutions and several from OpenAI, makes the case that regulating the hardware these models rely on may be the best way to prevent its misuse.
Fuck every single one of them.
No, restricting computer hardware is not acceptable behavior.
Because it's insane, unhinged fear mongering, not even loosely connected to anything resembling reality. LLMs do not have anything in common with intelligence.
And because the entire premise is an obscene attempt to monopolize hardware that literal lone individuals should have as much access to as they can pay for.
The only "existential threat" is corporations monopolizing the use of simple tools that anyone should be able to replicate.
But it absolutely is AR. If you can see the real world in real time, with additional information on top of it, that's AR. Your requirement that it not be on a screen is completely arbitrary and has no basis behind it whatsoever.
From the perspective of the employee it basically is a gift (more a benefit).
Employees don't pay for stock in an ESOP; they're earned by being employed there (with different options for how they're divided, but restrictions so they aren't excessively dominated by the highest earners).
I would be shocked if the newer versions don't have a software hack way before that.
The fact that the first version was easy to hack made later versions lower priority, but at some point for the sake of preservation or to have the OLED, the new ones will catch up.
For first party stuff, Nintendo launches finished games (though Sony does too).
For third party, cartridges are expensive enough that it's not uncommon at all for companies to straight up make a bunch of content download only. A lot of "multiple game" collections only put some of the games on the cartridge (not counting the ones that tie some to keys).
If the word “cryptography” here is what throws anyone off, it’s not some advanced field of study, it just refers to the physical manifestation of messaging, which a child can get behind.
No it doesn't. Cryptography is specifically encoding messages in a way that is hard for someone without the specific secret key to decode, even if they know the methodology.
The "key" is the mapping of cipher alphabet to message alphabet.
There has to be a secret to be cryptography. The meaning has to be hidden without the secret information (though primitive/weak attempts can have a small enough search space to be brute forced). But the content being hidden without that information is the entirety of what the word means.
Lol they're a very distant third, and none of this is going to convince anyone to buy an Xbox.
Ignoring any debate on the merits of exclusives generally, this is "lol their console tanked so bad they have to start to put their games onto other platforms to make the revenue they want".
I'm talking about their store policies. Google is far more permissive about malicious behavior than Apple is. Companies that have no reason to bypass the play store because it already allows them to spy to an obscene degree will bypass the App Store when given the opportunity, because it does not.
You know the story isn't between moves in combat (with rare exceptions)?
A lot of video game writing is bad, but computers allow storytelling that isn't possible through other mediums. BG3 is choose your own adventure but actually good.
There's a lot of super invasive stuff companies are doing that I don't support, but hijacking execution to inject code is something they won't and shouldn't permit. (If they're detecting it by touching the kernel they should be in prison, but with any legitimate methods they have at their disposal, if they can detect anyone hijacking their execution, it should always be a ban. There is no legitimate source or way to do that in a competitive game.)
AMD working with the companies directly to patch in what they need is the only way it can work. Just shipping that code was insane.
No, users were banned because AMD took it upon themselves to intercept and change code execution.
It was a completely fucking bonkers decision that anyone remotely aware of game development in any context should have known was literally guaranteed to get anyone who used it banned. It was not, and fundamentally cannot be, acceptable in a competitive game.
The only possible valid way to do it is by working with developers to make the required changes.
A lot of cookbooks give you the steps, but not enough tell you what steps are most important, and what, specifically, you need to be paying attention to to get the best results. The food lab does stuff like telling you how the salt changes the chemistry of scrambled eggs, then doing samples of "cook immediately after scrambling", "wait 3 minutes", "wait 5 minutes", "wait 15 minutes" and showing pictures of how it changes the outcome, before telling you his conclusions.
When you understand the core bits, it allows you a lot more flexibility and variety in how you do the surrounding bits. (I like Flour Water Salt Yeast for bread for the same reason.) Too many cook books are more recipe books that don't teach the fundamentals.
