Inverting the Xorshift128 random number generator

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-07 20:49:38

CVE-2025-7783 is a very recent vulnerability affecting a lot of applications in the Node.js ecosystem including those which use axios or the deprecated request library. In all honesty, this vulnerability is really an edge case that is extremely unlikely to be exploited: it is dependent upon a number of events that are not normally present. One of those events is the attacker having access to five consecutive outputs of JavaScript Math.random( ) , which allows the attacker to predict future outpu

Are OpenAI and Anthropic losing money on inference?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-21 14:15:22

I keep hearing what a cash incinerator AI is, especially around inference. While it seems reasonable on the surface, I've often been wary of these kind of claims, so I decided to do some digging. I haven't seen anyone really try to deconstruct the costs in running inference at scale and the economics really interest me. This is really napkin math. I don't have any experience at running frontier models at scale, but I do know a lot about the costs and economics of running very high throughput s

The Revolution of Token-Level Rewards

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-06 17:05:31

Training large language models (LLMs) to master complex tasks, especially those requiring structured outputs like generating precise code or engaging in multi-step reasoning, is challenging even for current state of the art (SOTA) models. Reinforcement Learning (RL) offers a powerful theoretical framework for teaching models to do "what works", but applying these techniques to LLMs has been messy to execute in practice. We’ve run into this problem at our startup, Levro. We want to be the easies

Trump’s order to make chatbots anti-woke is unconstitutional, senator says

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-25 16:21:52

The CEOs of every major artificial intelligence company received letters Wednesday urging them to fight Donald Trump's anti-woke AI order. Trump's executive order requires any AI company hoping to contract with the federal government to jump through two hoops to win funding. First, they must prove their AI systems are "truth-seeking"—with outputs based on "historical accuracy, scientific inquiry, and objectivity" or else acknowledge when facts are uncertain. Second, they must train AI models to

How AI on Microcontrollers Works: Operators and Kernels

The buzz around “edge AI”, which means something slightly different to almost everyone you talk to, is well past reaching a fever pitch. Regardless of what edge AI means to you, the one commonality is typically that the hardware on which inference is being performed is constrained in one or more dimensions, whether it be compute, memory, or network bandwidth. Perhaps the most constrained of these platforms are microcontrollers. I have found that, while there is much discourse around “running AI

The best cheap portable power stations of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

I remember when power banks were new. They were an amazing development, freeing us from the tyranny of having to be near an AC outlet to charge out gadgets. Next came the power stations. They packed even more power into an admittedly bigger space. Still, we were freed from needing to be near to AC outlets or use extension cables when working outside, or in the RV or camping. The original power stations were big and expensive, so manufacturers to came up with smaller, more affordable models. Her

Can your terminal do emojis? How big?

Emojis are great. They're particularly useful to put in the output of scripts and get some eye catching output. At least provided they aren't overused, just like colour. $ important-command Lots of output... ‼️ Something went wrong! Some more output... But bigger emojis are better, right? The VT100, introduced in 1978 has a way to do bigger text. You can even play with this due to the wonderful PCjs VT100 implementation.

New paper pushes back on Apple’s LLM ‘reasoning collapse’ study

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-13 04:53:57

Apple’s recent AI research paper, “The Illusion of Thinking”, has been making waves for its blunt conclusion: even the most advanced Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) collapse on complex tasks. But not everyone agrees with that framing. Today, Alex Lawsen, a researcher at Open Philanthropy, published a detailed rebuttal arguing that many of Apple’s most headline-grabbing findings boil down to experimental design flaws, not fundamental reasoning limits. The paper also credits Anthropic’s Claude Opus

Rohde and Schwarz AMIQ Modulation Generator Teardown

Introduction Every few months, a local company auctions off all kinds of lab, production and test equipment. I shouldn’t be subscribed to their email list but I am, and that’s one way I end up with more stuff that I don’t really need. During a recent auction, I got my hands on a Rohde & Schwarz AMIQ, an I/Q modulation generator, for a grand total of $45. Add to that another 30% for the auction fee and taxes and you’re still paying much less than what others would pay for a round of golf? But i
