this is not something i’ve ever encountered, nor something that i’d ever expect from an LLM specifically… some kind of test-writing-specific AI? sure because its metric is just getting the thing to go green… but LLMs don’t really care about the test going green: they simply care about filling in the blanks, so its “goal” would never include simply making the test pass, and its training data has significantly more complete tests than placeholders

or fixing windows by only using WSL and reading the arch wiki

the zip file itself might also be generated (you can just tack random garbage into places in the zip format and it’ll be ignored - which is extremely quick to do), in which case the hash would change… the file itself is important in case it’s an exploit in the unzip program itself, but also the contents of the file is important

not entirely true. if the file downloaded, windows does a bunch of “helpful” things with files… these are almost certainly benign (eg rendering thumbnails, getting metadata about certain file types) but almost anything is potentially exploitable (eg overflow in thumbnail generation code could lead to code execution just from browsing a website and then opening your downloads folder in explorer)

drive-by attacks don’t just effect the browser

with that said, it’d be a huge deal if this was the reality of the situation… it’s highly unlikely, but zero days exist, and the possibility is always real

i say this because this has been exploited in the past with exactly the same scenario: preview generation

new fabs is iffy… samsung chose not to scale up production because they’re betting that the AI bubble is just a bubble, and in that case any change in the short term will be bad in the long term… building a factory for DRAM takes years: let’s hope the bubble of AI enshittification doesn’t last that long

leaving the EBU completely over the israeli participation at the ESC would give that occassion way too much relevance.

whilst i agree, i think it’s also important to acknowledge that non-participation in ESC isn’t about non-participation in ESC… it’s not like they’re not participating because they don’t like israel’s songs; it’s about a principal. if the decision was made about israel to do with ESC it says something about the EBUs values and how it’s being run

non-participation isn’t meant as a punishment, and it’s not even really about ESC: it’s meant to be a statement to the EBU as a whole: we don’t support this and won’t support anyone who does

similar with energy retailers in aus

the government even plays into it by having a web tool to compare energy plans, and roughly once per year my state pays people $100 just to compare deals (and then i usually spend 5min to switch providers and save ~$500/y)

or more likely imo their inability to say what they want and have a compliant tradwife despite their shit behaviour

this part of the DMA only applies to “gatekeepers”, which are very large providers. the biggest barriers to being a gateway are (imo) turnover of > €7.5bn, 45m active monthly users in the EU

so what they’re saying is you should cancel your subscription and keep deal-hopping around different providers i guess!

it’s all internal if you draw your own magical borders!

geopolitics is consistently hypocritical… especially when it comes to the US… we absolutely can, and should be telling everyone to stop being imperialist but in lieu of that, we can just tell russia to cut the shit

or the argument holds water and also the US has consistently been in the wrong for the same reasons

i closed reader view and scrolled just to see and wow the POPUPS and 50% of the page length being ads

WHAT

who uses the internet like this and finds it acceptable?!

buys you a little extra time to move to linux

yup they show price per sheet by law

ditto! i’d probably do it in my head for a lot of things still because metric is easy, but it saves me so much time and i’m sure i’m an outlier

generally people think men are evil by default, and women are good by default

i think this is a misunderstanding of the dynamic

we see this play out pretty regularly with the “not all men” arguments and the like: men getting annoyed by women being careful, and taking “you could hurt me” behaviour as some kind of insult. the statement is true: not all men are evil to women, but any man could be evil to women and thus need to be treated as though it’s possible in order to protect themselves

yknow what’s great? unit pricing laws

tldr: in australia businesses must display “unit price” on labels: price per 100g, per 100ml, per sheet, etc for every product so that packages are comparable

also the emdash thing kinda proves that the majority of training data comes properly published works rather than user comments, and that the training methods merge “knowledge” from user stuff like reddit together with books and papers etc
