Yeah, exactly. My girlfriend did it too, using information theory. In my solution, I did chose a word that minimized the size of the larger set of possible guesses. It's not strictly information theory, but it's a good approximation of finding 'the word that brings the most information [this turn]'.

I suspect that this researchers work involves formalizing and proving the optimality of their solution.

Notes on DeepSeek 1 month ago

Note that Qwen from Alibaba choose to align the model with the PCC. It's not a same as DeepSeek who ensure it at the "service" level.

I'm on a self-hosted seaxng. It's great. I just need a computer up 24h/7d.

A VPS with without a black listed IP is good. A simple rootless container, update is easy.

Configuration takes little time, not much.

I still hate that I have to double the bang to use the same bang as DDG.

Example: "!!wde Ente" to go to the German wikipedia page about duck instead of "!wde Ente" with DDG.

Just an opinion. There is more AC in Asia and South Asia and more heat waves related deaths.

You number, approximately right but means nothing and the link AC => Less deaths by Heat Wave isn't supported by any fact.

Others factors like percent of the population > 70y, difference between usual temp / mean temperature in an heat wave and access to fresh and clean water should be more correlated than "AC implantation per hundred inhab".

The compute power needed use to be of the order of 5s per password try. So it effectively mitigate brute force back them, you need a absurd compute power to crack them.

Moore law did its thing, now you can do it with a lot less computer power.

If someone doesn't want you to use AI on their repository, they state it. And if they want to "booby trap" (Antropic logic), them it's they right, you have been warned.

I can't see how you rights to use AI is prevalent on the right of anybody to write the string "OpenClaw" or any string forbidden by your AI provider.

Seriously, if the author hides it and trick your AI agent to check it, well maybe. But otherwise, it's not even a question.

You are missing the point. It's more about the connection made with the user who trust the AI. Think about all the elders that fall for the "kid abroad who need money". The connection is more important than the facts.

The problem is not (not only) that it told a 50 something guy someone is coming to kill him. The problem is the bond with the user.

Everyone is fallible; you just need to craft the right narrative. Obviously, been educated about what AI makes you less affected, ..., by AI only.

I just installed calrs, a recent alternative to cal.diy. It absolutely rocks! The only downside is that it requires me to activate STARTTLS as force-TLS-SMTP isn't supported (I had to check the source code). It’s young, very promising, and honestly, I don't know what I could ask for more.

I also replaced Radical with rustical, and I gained free push updates.

And if you wanna try it out. https://cal.ache.one/u/ache

I just try on Qwen3.5 local. « I cannot discuss such topics ». That is crazy.

But it's the law there. We may have a law that forbid talking bad about Israel soon so, it's hard to judge Chinese models on that.

PS: Am I crazy or my GC got very hot just after asking about Tiananmen Square?!!!

PPS: Reproducible. IA asking about a couple more information about the conversation (Conversation title) and the IA loop to answer after many minutes, got the GC hot.

IPv8 does not require dual-stack operation.

The whole thing isn't a joke because of this. Technically, it's IPv4++ and that about it.

Every manageable element in an IPv8 network is authorised via OAuth2 JWT tokens

What ?!

I'm not sure it's the path I want to follow.

I'm not denying that it happens. I'm saying that it not the classical way to spam people nowadays.

It's obvious to any non native english speaker, when you have a spam in english, it is because they toke the email from the web. When it's in you native language, it's usually from a data breach.

I'm vastly more spammed by the later. I can confirm it with unique email addresses of the "+" form (but not with the + character).

Also when I'm spammed in english, it's for Web3 crypto stuff and from a data breach it's a phishing attempt.

I'm sorry, but that is not how email address are spammed in bulk.

The data-source are the enormous data breach that are more and more frequent. There is more intensive to collect more information on someone you already know something about than spamming an email you don't even know if it's a valid one.

The spam can also be very more effective as it present itself with personal information about the spammed.
