It was not the point. The idea was that a sitting driver was no longer necessary for the car to move.

They will sell about 17 of that, so the RAM price should not be a company-wide issue :) (just "kidding" ; unfortunately, there is a market for that ; the Venn diagram of this market and the group of people who are eager to compare the size of their masculinity overrides quite fairly).

In what world those guys, who are supposed to be trained in cryptography, one of the most complex cybersecurity subject out there, cannot have any sense of strong opsec and control their own accounts?

I know this comment comes a bit late in the game, but here we are: the D7VK team just announced the experimental support of DirectX 6 baked into D7VK (https://github.com/WinterSnowfall/d7vk/releases/tag/v1.1) so it's very likely that we'll be able to play some quite old games in the future...

Banks are actually covering the loans, so if this is going down (and, for the sake of mankind, I hope some of this bs will stop) it will very likely have some global economic impact. Which is "exactly" what we need in a world where the climate is going south and where populists in many countries...

Well, you have to either agree the terms or agree to pay if you want to be able to "close" your account. And your account is not closed, it's merely deactivated until you show up again (and the tracking is still in place, because you agreed to it before closing your not-that-closed account)...

It's not really emulation. Wine (the underlying technology) implements the support of Windows binary on Linux, and the corresponding tech for dynamic linking. Once this is done, you "just have" to re-implement the various system DLLs to support all the necessary WinAPI (well, that's actually the...

You got your facts wrong. Steam on Linux exists because when MS announced the future release of Windows 10 (I think ; maybe it was W8, I'm not sure and I'm too lazy to check right now) they also announced the death of OpenGL and various restrictions on softwares that were not installed through...

"How to kill a company" 101, Qualcomm édition :/

It seems it both a DNS problem AND a poorly implemented RNG :)

It seems to me (although I might be wrong) that the DNS cache poisonning attacks that were made public before were generally tied to the fact that the attacker was already controlling part of the connection. For example, the djb vs. Weise discussion was about accessing some rshd server from an...

The sarcastic answer would be: as the target audience is made of technocrats, I'm not sure that they are equiped to assess any kind of real world experience anyway :)

The problem is more complicated than that. While parametrization can ensure that the first level of your SQL DB access it protected against, some database engine might be vulnerable to other kind of SQL injection (through second order injection or through other, more obscure means). You may also...

Well, protecting people privacy does not align very well with the core business of Meta, so... This could explain that :)

The repository is so large that you are not even supposed to git-clone it (and if you're not a Google employee, it's not even that interesting: it has tons of submodules that are not public and require a Google employee account). Last time I did it (it was to find the root reason of a bug in...

Uh... No. The Servo project has never been used in any browser. It's still considered as an experimental project, and lacks many features. The current incarnation in only a few month old (it has been heavily redesigned because the old design prevented them to implement modern CSS features). It's...

That does not change much. You could create models with a gazillion parameters if you want, what you'll get is something that will be better at simulating intelligence. Attention by itself is not enough to achieve AGI, whatever the size of the model is.

Whoa... Are they really trying the "I stole too many things, I cannot be held responsible" line of defense ? Like, once you have killed too many people, you're no longer a murderer, you're a conqueror ?

NVIDIA is notorious for having complex drivers for which you cannot find an efficient open source alternative. The driver also contains a cryprographicall signed firmware for the GPU (so that some bugs can be fixed by fixing the firmware instead of shipping new updated GPU). The firmware is...

Was that question something along the line of "ChatGPT, how can I be a good person" ? Sarcasm aside, the characterisation is awfully stupid: what purpose would serve an AI if it could only answer questions for which you already know the answer?
