  • The biggest mystery known to mankind

    Jump

  • This phenomenon was around eons before LLMs. You have to figure out how conditions are different when the problem happens in the wild and when you fail to duplicate it.

    As a fellow dev used to say, "Any problem that goes away by itself can come back by itself."

  • You wouldn't - what they're describing is called "SQL injection" - a way to fool poorly written web server code (regardless of what language it's writen in) into executing SQL code. The poorly written server code takes what's entered in a form field on a web page and pastes it into a skeleton of a SQL statement - in this case the text in the input field is SQL that ends the intended statement, followed by a new statement that deletes a table. For this to even work, the SQL skeleton on the server would have to be structured in just the right way so the modified version with the pasted-in text still makes sense. For this reason, hackers attempting SQL injection usually have to do a lot of trial and error to get something to happen. The only way it can work at all is if the server software handling the web page sends SQL commands to a database server as text, as if they're being typed in, and the server executes them. You can't inject C in this way because unlike SQL, C code isn't just executed, C programs have to be precompiled.

  • Well alrighty then.

  • I love how things like this develop a mystique. The KFC eleven herbs and spices, supposedly on a two-part list kept in separate vaults. The handwritten recipe for Coca-Cola, transported under heavy guard to a new vault in 2011. Donald Trump's hair elixir formula, kept secret by Epstein until his prison cell suicide during a coincidental random camera malfunction. The list goes on...

  • American also. When I had years of therapy it was always an hour a week. Maybe you're on the "just slightly mental" plan.

  • Don't be late

    Jump

  • This has been a trope forever, but is it really still common? I usually get into a room within a few minutes of my appointment time. Then a tech takes my vitals and collects other info - which is part of the appointment and the doctor doesn't need to be there for it. Then a few minutes later the actual doctor shows up. I haven't timed it but it's not annoyingly long.

    edit: American here

  • 'Fuck you, Bambu': How one private message could change the face of 3D printing

    Jump

  • Wrong. You can print in LAN mode, or use an SD card without even a wifi connection. Here, I googled it for you.

  • Anyone had this?

    Jump

  • Well, around the same time in the sense that Boomers and Millennials were around the same time. Liberace was 39 and had renovations before Jackson was born.

  • The Milky Way ate another galaxy. Scientists say they’ve found the scraps. Astronomers have dubbed the ancient galaxy Loki, after the Norse god of mischief.

  • The other galaxy must have been fun-size.

  • side trivia: I just learned that "Milky Way" comes from Greek legend. While the goddess Hera was asleep Zeus placed the infant Heracles (aka Hercules to Romans) on her to suckle at her breast. But Hera woke up and flung Heracles away, spraying milk across the sky. In fact the word "galaxy" comes from the Greek word for milk.

  • Ordinary WiFi can now identify people with near perfect accuracy

    Jump

  • The need for a constant signal to scan movement is a good point. Makes sense that nearby wifi devices can't just be sitting there, they have to be actively transmitting to the router or there's no signal for the target to interfere with. I must have gotten CSI and wifi scanning confused. Tbh I'm not even sure why CSI is in the article except for history, but I found the principle fascinating. In your research did you turn the intererence into anything like a heat map of a person standing in the room, or is it more of a signal fingerprint, like chromatography or spectrography?

    Jump

  • I can totally believe when it tracks a person it can tell when the same person walks by again later. But matching people with their actual identities would require a database of wifi scan data that simply doesn't exist yet.

  • "Did" is an interesting word. If somebody dug a ditch I wouldn't say the shovel "did" the grunt work.

  • Wait, so the Milky Way practices COLONIALISM? Another reason to feel guilty about existing.

  • Yes, I just finished watching all of Phineas and Ferb with my 32-yo daughter. Also Hey Arnold until it got taken off whatever we were watching it on. But of course nothing beats SpongeBob.
