Humans bringing pointless drama to everything they touch.

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing.

(some drama from good ol' William)


The other side said the same thing when the J6 rioters were sentenced. Likewise, these people will also get pardoned in a couple of years, so it's mostly symbolic.


Thanks, saved me a click.


What’s wrong with veritasium?


It's been bought up by venture capital and it's rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way with the changes by the new management.


What are the changes that are rubbing fans the wrong way? I feel like the latest videos have been interesting.


I still find them engaging and well made. It’s a bit more “corporate” but honestly the content remains as good


I was also afraid of that, but I actually really liked the recent videos.


Yeah actually I haven't been dissapointed with the quality of the new videos so far, I will hold my breath though as venture capitals priorities aren't always aligned long-term.


The problem I have encountered is that some of the physics explanations are of dubious quality. A good example is the debate between Veratasium, Steve Mould, and ElectroBOOM about “whether electricity travels at the speed of light.” The Veratasium video comes across as pretty clickbait-y. That said, the combined narrative across these three channels was pretty interesting.


No, there have been a bunch of new cracks in the recent months by the same author who made this crack. RE9 is the first time they've cracked a game that just very recently came out. This means that any upcoming games will likely be cracked quickly as well, unless the Denuvo developers make some big changes in how their protection works.


To be fair, it was an old pornographic game from Japan that features characters who are still minors. The customs agents should probably have simply disposed of it instead of sending it forward.


Say what you will about the ethics of sexual depictions of fictional minors, the legality in the US isn't clear cut.

I scanned through it quickly but did not see anything pornographic.

Is this censored, or just avoiding the illegal bits?

February 13th is a pretty close deadline. They should at least have given a month.


February 13 seems right to me. I mean it's not like LLMs need to manually write out a 10 page proof. But a longer deadline can give human mathematicians time to solve the problem and write out a proof. A close deadline advantages the LLM and disadvantages humans which should be the goal if we want to see if LLMs are able to solve these.


It's starting to sound an awful lot like a Ruligion.


This may just be bad recollection from my part, but hasn't Google reported that their search business is right now the most profitable it has ever been?


Fixing the seed wouldn't necessarily make LLMs deterministic. LLMs do lots of computation in parallel and the order in which these computations are performed is often indeterministic and can lead to different final results.


Yep. And to answer the question about randomness - it's absolutely vital to have a good source of noise to obscure the underlying pattern to prevent the secret information leaking - but the mathematical part that manipulates that noise into the encrypted output has to be precise. That's the distinction made here relating to probability.

Disclaimer: Not a crypto expert. Just like reading about it. Check actual sources for a better insight. Very interesting technology and much smarter people working in this field who deserve a lot of praise.
