don't worry, the AI guys who dismiss the METR paper are totally gonna do a better study that thoroughly refutes it with actual measurements, not just vibes

any time now

METR includes all the caveats. but nothing's stopping you from running simliar actual measurements, better. except not wanting to. wonder why.

Sigh. I just saw two posts here pushing the "real authors don't use em dashes, that's an AI thing" myth and I am tired. 😣

Hi. Hello. "Real author" here. I have never used AI in any part of my writing or process, ever. I use em dashes all the time. So do other real authors. In fact, there'd be a fight to the death if you tried to take our em dashes away from us. Sometimes, a semicolon just won't do, and you *need* that em dash. Other times, you *must* use an em dash (when a character gets interrupted mid-sentence or mid-word, for example).

The *reason* you see em dashes in AI slop is because those LLMs were literally built on the stolen works of real authors. Who use em dashes. All the time.

OK, I think I have a reasonably efficient table driven implementation of the 100baseTX scrambler LFSR, capable of predicting future scrambler states with offsets of up to 2^30-1 in constant time.

I still don't grok the math. I ended up doing this by essentially bruteforcing the algebraic solution, creating a class representing a 11th-order polynomial with boolean coefficients symbolically and evaluating the LFSR in a loop 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. times.

The table generator logic would keep track of which starting bits had been xor'd into which state bits, move state bits as the LFSR advanced, cancel out double XORs, etc.

In the end I got a 30 x 11 lookup table that I can just iterate over and xor.

The journey was definitely not the cleanest mathematically, but I've tested pretty thoroughly and it gives identical results to iterating the LFSR.

Dear Fedi friends, it's official. I have become a Fediverse "reply guy" offering unsolicited tech advice.

I just realized this now (re: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/115848079534897140) 😂​

Sorry! But also... not sorry?

Hope you're all having a lovely day!

My number one objective today is not to slip and fall because sidewalks in Paris are an icy death trap (at least in this neighborhood)

Thanks everyone who were at the Post-Platform Digital Publishing workshops at ! It was great to meet you all, and talk about RSS feeds for DIY digital publishing, AI crawlers, online and offline piracy methods, and more stuff. We added a short summary of what we discussed during the workshops to the PPDPT wiki: toolkit.wellgedacht.org/doku.p

개인의 양심은 한 생의 가치관을 따라 켜켜이 쌓이고, 때로는 외압과 권력 앞에 무너지기도 한다. 그러기에 우리 헌법이 개인의 양심의 자유를 헌법의 이름으로 보호하고자 하는 것이다. 과정에서 다소 흔들렸을지라도, 한 사람이 생의 절반을 신념을 지키기 위해 버텼다. www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...
