absolutely not the first time I hear something like that, and part of why I don't really like the guy

At the risk of being critical of Zitron

absolutely not a thing to be "at risk of", and a little bit worrying to see someone even worrying about

I’m down with reading books it’s just hard to select them without known reference recommendations

Gonna acquire the works of both, ty :D

black mirror enhancement: because the algorithms involved may present multiple likely fits to any given input, each output is also considered a conception and given due protection (even if not used)

this you?

again, I ask you: please make better posts. you could start by not shooting from the hip about things you know little to nothing about. even better would be asking questions to learn.

nice to see the blinders coming off more widely:

For instance, as Electrek reminds us, in 2016, Elon Musk made a promise. He promised that, by the end of 2017, a Tesla would be able to drive itself from coast to coast. We’re talking Los Angeles to New York, with no human intervention.

That was bulls**t. Listen to any tech CEO nowadays and you will hear nothing but an endless stream of wild proclamations about how so-and-so massive shift will occur within the next 10 years! Five years! One year! Next week!

yeah, very similar profile to this lot (might've even had them involved). this seems to be collection of their stuff (I dunno if it's complete, probably all the stuff they wanna show off)

reminded of mordechai guri (from ben-gurion uni) whose whole dept just keeps popping out side channel attacks year after year, but most of them are in "the coil sits in the plate under the bagel (also ignore the PCB for data decode)" field of capacity (exactly because of noise etc)

I mean, some legitimately interesting research on its own in this field - the stuff about cpu states through power sidechannel (most desktop/laptop PSUs are non-filtering and not isolated, so you can reverse-observe cpu state from minute differences on supply side) and such are pretty neat! impractical as fuck, but neat

dunno, I seem to recall I've seen a couple other stinkers from ronacher lately. dude's also full on the LLM bandwagon iirc

probably need to keep a notes file
