Love this! When we did classifier work on the JINS MEME smart glasses (sad to see them retired) I always wondered what it’d take to get lip-reading—glad to see y’all’ve figured it out!
Are both parties not driven by their largest donors?
They are contractually forbidden from letting you get their NSO spyware

Nice to see some Dart around here, even if it migrated to Rust eventually (as I am also wont to do). Just posting the github repo link for those that are lazy like me and want to go directly to the source: https://github.com/onepub-dev/reVault

If anybody has the resources to do it, tho, they do

They have the means, they have the motivation

Lately they have fewer and fewer excuses not to

Re:AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @12:07PM (#50089896)
You can still run it in a VM and access files on disk. Or if they're 1337 haxorz and keep the game in RAM you can still inspect RAM

There's no way to deliver a running program which you can't decompile aiui.

Like literally last night I did this to decompile an Android game whose APK on the Play Store is just a thin wrapper that downloads the real Unity game at runtime. It was a 30 second barrier

> It's long, tiring, sometimes boring

all those things equal time and money eg. difficulty

Of course there's still a huge performance gap

If you've "avoided using LLMs", how do you know "you'll gradually lose the ability to think in a programming language"?

Do you play Space Age just on Nauvis or are you playing without Space Age entirely?

OK, are you providing inheritance tax as an example of socialism? I'm sorry but your comments are not easy to understand, I want to understand what you're trying to say but it's unclear because your argument is split over several comments that I can't seem to parse.

I want to understand what you're saying if you'd give me a few moments of further explanation of your claim/argument

Re:Socialism's Positive Rating Tops 40% for First Time on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @01:47PM (#49819857)
Please define or explain how socialism is compatible with capitalism
Re:Socialism's Positive Rating Tops 40% for First Time on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @12:27PM (#49818545)
What is your definition?
Re:Socialism's Positive Rating Tops 40% for First Time on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @12:27PM (#49818539)
How would you define and distinguish them, then?
Re:Socialism's Positive Rating Tops 40% for First Time on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @12:26PM (#49818525)
Please explain what you consider these terms to mean?

There are such results on huggingface tho. Also search for the keywords “abliteration” and “heretic”. Heretic is a tool used to abliterate, that is decensor, models

And yet they're trained on the corpus of human writing. They may not act like humans but they do act like human writing.

"If you don't make profit, your business will be closed" is a pretty clear ultimatum for an agent tasked with creating a profitable business.

Invest in energy, manufacturing, and education (ie. your own people) for 75 years and people will look for a trick card up your sleeve and accuse you of cheating when your 7th of the world population has a 7th of the world's genius
