The thing is, when you copy paste a bibliography entry from the publisher or from Google Scholar, the authors won't be wrong. In this case, it is. If I were to write a paper with AI, I would at least manage the bibliography by hand, conscious of hallucinations. The fact that the hallucination is in the bibliography is a pretty strong indicator that the paper was written entirely with AI.
I'm not sure I agree... while I don't ever see myself writing papers with AI, I hate wrangling a bibtex bibliography.
I wouldn't trust today's GPT-5-with-web-search to do turn a bullet point list of papers into proper citations without checking myself, but maybe I will trust GPT-X-plus-agent to do this.

> when the person in front of me reclines their seat.
As a reasonably tall person I have never reclined my seat and will forever consider anyone who does an asshole.
The very fact that you can but don’t do something is the precise space where assholeness is defined.
I personally believe that the ideal situation is in fact everyone reclining their seat
When I lived in Texas, we had a massive storm in winter of 2021 leaving many without power for a week.
I was told that Texas maintained its own energy grid independent from the rest of the nation’s eastern and western grids, and supposedly only had a handful of high-voltage DC lines running between Texas’s and the rest of the nation’s. Supposedly this was why we couldn’t rely on excess capacity from anywhere else in the nation while our power generation capability was down.
But this map doesn’t seem to show Texas as isolated - there appear to be many lines in and out and no clear separation?
Passkeys can be hijacked to serve as cryptographic seed material that is securely synced across all of a user’s devices, enabling the generation of a wide range of cryptographic keys. This allows Passkeys to power use cases far beyond what they have traditionally been constrained to. I’ve been calling this mechanism PassSeeds.
I’ll leave the details to the blog post, but here’s a short list of what PassSeeds enable:
- Need a user-custodied BLS12-381 key to engage in more advanced ZKP Verifiable Credential / proofing flows? Say less, you're covered.
- Want to create a petty cash Web wallet for Bitcoin transactions that relies on a secp256k1 key? Ask and ye shall receive.
- How about keys for decentralized social media identifiers and post signing that are of a type other than P-256? No problem, I got you!
I don’t understand why you want to enforce only using the public key instead of private key - while I believe you that as of now browsers do not disclose the public key anywhere, I’d also suspect that this is far more likely to be violated and accidentally disclosed by a bug than the private key, which theoretically cannot ever leave the TPM.
Would KDF(deterministic_sign(“well-known message”)) not also provide valid entropy?
Is it just impossible to force a nonce for a deterministic signature?
One of the many patron saints of engineers!
If he so believed in it, may his arrow be pointing up! :)
arjvik commented on Where Is GPT in the Chomsky Hierarchy? fi-le.net/chomsky/... · Posted by u/fi-le
So unless I'm mistaken, the TL;DR is that GPTs inherently can not be Turing complete because they always terminate, ie. there is always a non-zero probability of the end-of-token character to be generated.
Seems like a fair argument to raise, although not too insightful.
As a nitpick, it really is not the case that most programming languages are context-free, but I can sympathize with what the author is trying to get at. Most programming languages have a context-free superset that is useful to use as one of many stages in the parsing pipeline, before type checking and name resolution etc... but apart from perhaps some dynamically typed programming languages, the vast majority of programming languages are context-sensitive, not context-free.
As a quick hack, is this flaw fixed by using top-p or top-k or min-p or whatever the current hottest logit sampling algorithm is?

Unless you're Discord, who got away with it by redefining "server" to mean something else.
