They can, but it’s not trivial. The challenge uses a bunch of modern browser features that these scrapers don’t use, regarding metadata and compression and a few other things. Things that are annoying to implement and not worth the effort. Check the recent discussion on lobste.rs if you’re interested in the exact details.

They’re trying to block adblockers again, it seems. I got the “adblockers are not allowed” popup again recently.

FUCK I put a snack in the freezer like… 5 days ago? And completely forgot about it until now

This will happen again I can’t fetch it right now

As far as I know Switzerland only had one and we call it the Sonderbund war

Also, the reason this is a CVE is because Rust itself guarantees that calling commands doesn’t evaluate shell stuff (but this breaks that guarantee). As far as I know C/C++ makes no such guarantee whatsoever.

Having read a significant portion of the base WASM spec, it’s really quite a beautiful format. It’s well designed, clear, and very agnostic.

I particularly like how sectioned it is, which allows different functions to be preloaded/parsed/whatever independently.

It’s not perfect by any means; I personally find it has too many instructions, and the block-based control flow is… strange. But it fills a great niche as a standard low-level isolated programming layer.

There’s a few (much smaller-scale) walls like that around where I live and I always find them so pretty <3

For the screenshot you might want to use a terminal that doesn’t have bloom, a CRT filter, and a background, I genuinely can’t see the TUI.

Lol I didn’t get the reference before

(There was a post about Switzerland considering legalizing cocaine cus they have so much and it’s so pure & common, apparently)

Uh. Buddy. They absolutely are known for building a shitload of trains. There’s the Gottard, which is the longest tunnel through a mountain, and I think also the steepest railtracks in the world?

You’ve never heard of swiss trains always being on time?

Apparently some people are working on it. Defo not usable rn tho

What does “not full functionality” mean here, no head movement or you can’t use the cameras? Cus as long as I can play the games I’e got through steamvr I’m happy

This is a really solid explanation of how studies finding human behavior in LLMs don’t mean much; humans project meaning.

Neural networks are named like that because they’re based on a model of neurons from the 50s, which was then adapted further to work better with computers (so it doesn’t resemble the model much anymore anyway). A more accurate term is Multi-Layer Perceptron.

We now know this model is… effectively completely wrong.

Additionally, the main part (or glue, really) of LLMs is not even an MLP, but a “self-attention” layer. You can’t say LLMs work like a brain, because they don’t. The rest is debatable but it’s important to remember that there are billions of dollars of value in selling the dream of conscious AI.

Nah. Programming is… really hard to automate, and machine learning more so. The actual programming for it is pretty straightforward, but to make anything useful you need to get training data, clean it, and design a structure, which is much too general for an LLM.

Yeah, but the bridge is correctly over the river and the buildings aren’t really merged. Tough though.

The second one got me tho

Sure, it’s not proof, but it gives a good starting point. Non-overfitted images would still have this effect (to a lesser extent), and this would never happen to a human. And it’s not like the prompts were the image labels, the model just decided to use the stock image as a template (obvious in the case with the painting).

Personally, I have no issue with models made from stuff obtained with explicit consent. Otherwise you’re just exploiting labor without consent.

(Also if you’re just making random images for yourself, w/e)

((Also also, text models are a separate debate and imo much worse considering they’re literally misinformation generators))

Note: if anybody wants to reply with “actually AI models learn like people so it’s fine”, please don’t. No they don’t. Bugger off. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.03860.pdf here have a source.

… which is maybe why things that are essentially critical to a developed country’s lifestyle probably shouldn’t simply be companies. If we go off of “it’s not profitable”, public transport wouldn’t be any good, postal services would suck, etc.

The internet should be a public service like mail.

Also, in the US they paid the ISPs to hook everyone up to fiber, and then they just… didn’t.

Uh no people definitely did. Mostly the people that actually knew how this shit worked. But even laypeople complained when it was just Dall-E and Midjourney.
