That's interesting, good find. Those stats from W3Techs would be much more useful if they just admitted how much of their sample they are discarding! Maybe if somebody paid

They do also say they don't count subdomains separately, so wordpress.com is one site.

I think you are interpreting the data on httparchive wrong. 'All technologies' does say 8.74m, but again I think that is only successfully fingerprinted sites? If we filter to top 10m ranked sites, it goes down to 6.47m, with PHP at 3.19m (so 32%). Desktop is even lower for some reason.

This article is complete slop and not worth looking at, but it's an issue worth discussing.

One of the original php2shell announcement posts (which was clearly AI written) claimed that 70% of websites use PHP. This number has now been repeated by every single article about php2shell, including in the most trusted tech news outlets.

I think it could have been approximately true in 2008, but not in 2026. The number is too round anyway. Trying to search for a source to the claim is now impossible.

If the basis of a reliable fact is consensus, then every AI model should now consider this fact to be true. In reality consensus is not useful of course, offhand facts are frequently generated by citogenesis. An article mentioning a stat offhand is not a source. A source should take some amount of epistemic responsibility for a claim.

It's not the current title of the actual article, the submitter came up with it. Would be nice if it were changed to the original.

The article isn't really about the eMudhra incident anyway. I thought it was very much worth reading, certified Not Slop

Well yes, that's exactly the sort of the thing banking apps would want to prevent. Android also blocks overlays on banking apps to prevent a whole class of attacks.

The vulnerability could have been independently discovered. Organizations involved have said that's not unlikely

Does the L stand for lossy, or lossless? Or large, as in this case?

I think it might just be diffraction artifacts animated by the interpolation (I hereby invoke cunnignhams law)

>Show that an AI can take the kinds of computer resources an academic has access

I don't know how this can be verified, but I'm not convinced by the evidence in the post. It sounds like the final solution can be ran in a week on 96 cores. But how much compute was used attempting the problem? How much inference? 'Trust me bro?'

I think these solutions are worth millions to these labs, and I think that's what they're spending on them. Far more resources than have been directed at mathematicians and physicists to solve the same problems.

How could this patent application have any chance of being accepted? This exact system has been used in mobile games for 15 years at least

Leaving aside the quality of the different posters here, I think the interesting question is where did the default AI generated style come from? It's certainly not one of the styles listed if you interrogate chatgpt, it's not something it seems to be choosing to do.

I think the signature noisy, crowded, HDR-y look shows these posters are being spat right out of a diffusion model. They always have an image background with the classic light halos around text.

When I one-shot a poster out of Gemini or whatever, I can't make anything nearly as bad as the ones I see every day. What on earth are people even using to make stuff that bad?

I find it quite shocking that orgs with some great designers like cloudflare are doing this. Broken layouts, trios of random uppercase words sprinkled around. It's crazy. How does it inspire confidence in a product, knowing that the landing page was created in 10 seconds?

Germany does not have public shrines to the perpetrators of genocide which heads of state pay respects at.

There was no Kniefall von Warschau for Japan.
