- Comment on ChatGPT's o3 Model Found Remote Zeroday in Linux Kernel Code 3 weeks ago:
If I were to ask my Magic 8 Ball “Is the word ‘difinitely’ misspelled?” 100 times, it’s going to reply in the affirmative over 16% of the time. Literally double. This would also be “the very first experiment in this use case, done by a single person on a model that wasn’t specifically designed for this.”
It’s not impressive.
The issue with hallucinations…
This is the real problem: working under the false assumption that there are two kinds of output. It’s all the same output. An LLM cannot hallucinate in the same way that it cannot think or reason. It’s fancy autofill. Predictive text.
You can use it to brainstorm creative solutions, but you need to treat its output for what it is: complicated dice rolls from the tables in the back of the Dungeon Masters Guide. A fun distraction. Implausible fantasy 9 times out of 10.

In 100 runs only 8 correctly identify the targeted vulnerability, the rest are false positives or claim that there are no vulnerabilities in the given code. … [The] signal to noise ratio is very low, and one has to sift through a lot of wrong reports to get a realistic one.
It was right 8% of the time when presented the least amount of input to find a known bug. Then, when they opened it up to more of the codebase, its performance decreased.
I’m not going to use something that’s wrong over 92% of the time. That’s insane. That’s like saying my Magic 8 Ball “could be used as a useful tool for helping to detect vulnerabilities.” The fucking rubber ducky on my desk has a more reliable clearance rate.

The future of web development is XHTML. Get on or get left behind.Transitional XHTML resulted in extremely organized (if verbose) DOMs and delivered features that took forever to show up in HTML5.
It also sniffed out the sociopaths who capitalize elements and close their tags out of order. Fucking …

- Comment on The inarguable case for banning social media for teens 1 month ago:
Videogaming, porn and gambling gave boys such dopamine hits that anything else they did felt boring.
Kids these days don’t understand the rush of dumping their entire allowance into 15 minutes of Street Fighter, comitting borderline felonies while riding bicycles around the neighborhood, and then going into the woods to jerk it to that one Playboy before going over Steve’s house to worship the devil.

Scotty uses the Nexus to return to the Enterprise B, replaced himself at that point in time, and then messes with the navigation system to avoid the Dyson Sphere entirely (saving his friend).

I have heard they can be a bit finicky
I assume you’re talking about the actual hardware of the various RaspberryPi. (Pies? Pis?) Some of the earlier models had problems with heat, which would cause them to fart out on occasion. I’ve got a Pi 4 Model B, and it does just fine (

From an interview I read, but can’t remember the source:
Alex Kurtzman: [Paul Giamatti] was doing press for The Holdovers, and when he was asked about the part that he would most want to play, he said, “I want to play a Klingon on Star Trek.”… So we called his agent and said, “Was that a thing he just said, was that a bit?”… And she called back and she said, “He’d love to sit down with you. We got on a Zoom with him and he cried.
[…]
Noga Landau: He also chose which role he wanted to play. We came to him and we said, “You could be this guy or that guy, or that guy.” And he thought about it and he came back and told us that the part he plays is the one he wanted.
Alex Kurtzman: We thought it was going to be like one episode because his schedule is so busy, and he was like, “No, I want to play the villain.” We’re like, “That’s the whole season.” He was like, “Great, let’s do it!”
Like… no one’s stopping you from being a Klingon on Star Trek, Paul Giamatti.
