Remember seeing something about GPT-4 doing well on standardized tests? It turns out it may have memorized the answers.

on linux everything is a file, which means you do everything through normal file operations like read, write, and ioctl(fd, DRM_IOCTL_MODE_ADDFB2, &drm_fb2);

The Cone Nebulae,

I really like the texture I'm getting here.

OK how about this for a web site

Serious question: how do I go about petitioning my local government to consider municipal broadband? I feel like I could get my neighbors on board after the two hours-long prime-time outages in the past couple of weeks on top of the predatory pricing and coercive tactics of Comcast.

Trademarks are ubiquitous in the modern world, and they’ve become an important component of political activism. The Supreme Court shouldn’t take away one of the strongest shields activists have against bogus trademark claims. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/03/eff-tells-supreme-court-trademark-law-doesnt-trump-first-amendment

Noam Chomsky on ChatGPT: It’s "Basically High-Tech Plagiarism" and "a Way of Avoiding Learning"

https://www.openculture.com/2023/02/noam-chomsky-on-chatgpt.html

The menu of "languages spoken at home" from Providence Public Schools—clearly a list gotten off some other source—includes Middle and Old English amongst many other gems. Sorely tempted to pick one of thæse—or "DRAVIDIAN (OTHER)"—and see what þings showeð up.

@cwebber this is extremely funny to me

Words, unusually, fail me in describing this moment (photographers unknown).

Yeah, this tends to be my attitude... Becoming a browserdev is essentially my way of saying just how serious I am.

#FStar is pretty cool and doesn't afraid of anything.

#Security #LanguageBasedSecurity #FormalVerification #Proof #Programming

@rysiek So... is this yet another case of #C implementations leading to consequences that'd be easily prevented by use of #LanguageBasedSecurity?

From the sound of it, it's a vulnerable library being integrated.

Nothing implemented in pure Python or PHP should even be able to segfault.

keeping it short (sub 5 mins considerably) is our vibe

Using ChatGPT means you're not learning. It's effectively a smart script for copying other people's answers. You think you might understand what it's doing, but struggling and typing is what helps you learn.

In an interview you'll be asked technical questions about your knowledge, and you can't rely on ChatGPT then.

If you're a student learning #UnrealEngine, or anything really, I really advise doing it yourself.
