    LLM: *Is offensive*

It certainly is fast, but I'm curious if LLMs ever will figure out how bitshifts work..

e.g. from the playground: `static const uint64_t MERSENNE_PRIME = (1ULL << 127) - 1;` which it insists is the correct way to store a 128-bit integer in followup questions.

Neat idea, the 'search' feature is a bit odd though if you don't know which instruction you are looking for. e.g. searching for 'SHA' shows the autocomplete for platforms not selected and then 0 results due to the filters (they haven't been added for SSE/AVX yet), but searching for 'hash' gets you 100 results like '_mm256_castsi256_ph' which has nothing to do with the search.

It's funny that one of their main arguments is that "verified" users used to mean trustworthy information. Like no one remembers Twitter before Musk where you'd get verified by having a blog with the right politics, wrote an article for an outlet the staff liked, was friends with staff, or just straight up paid one to give you the badge..

That was for the base of the ship, so that they could add more sensors.

Or she just looked over at how well Tumblr did after banning pron and decided to let let people do their own thing in their own corner =P

While not 'evidence' per se, it's a common trend with monopolies (e.g. Xerox back in the day) to shift engineering/R&D budgets to marketing for a better ROI.

The X algorithm is also opensource, so you can verify before commenting..

IIRC There was some followup hikers that explored and found a cave/entrance near a military area which sort of looked like the described one, only that it had been caved in (which they couldn't judge if natural or man-made). Not sure about the 'validity' or if they just wanted to contribute to the story.

Most laptops these days have a pretty sizable GPU on the same chip. IIRC Triton makes proper use of the Intel graphics while AMDs equivalents work well with OpenCL out of the box. Apple's M1-3 architecture saw some major speedups on llama.cpp etc. as well. Worth noting is that some may need special drivers, my Xeons from 2010 has support for executing OpenCL but needed extra drivers; no comment on modern processors.

Given that they just won a preliminary judgement, they don't seem too foolish..

Tl;dr: Stenography just helps with obfuscation as long as no-one is looking for it. The second someone looks it'll fail, and if it becomes a common practice; everyone will look for it.

The theoretical idea is that the information could be hidden in a random location, e.g. extracting every Nth bit, such that the information would be indistinguishable from random noise. In practice, both parties need to agree on the location, so it has the same flaw as 'perfect encryption' methods like a one-time-pad, you need to transfer information IRL.

One could make a case for a group/app using a custom scheme to add a layer of security until someone infiltrates the group / RE the app, but you'd get the same security by just encrypting everything with the same password.

Same, it's almost like ads are personalized and being bombarded by similar ads says more about the consumer than the supplier..
