Solves as in it does not use more energy than what the hardware needs to process the data + it doubles every time you double the number of nodes (obviously since they all have to do the same work too)
Its not wasting energy for a PoW lottery it just uses energy like a comparable instant messenger with global server farm would. The more people who use it the more energy it will use there is no way around that.

FBA is completely different form PoS. It does not work on incentives and penalties it works with a global final state, global rules and (federated) byzantine agreement (FBA) for progress (adding the next "block").
No way to re-org, no block/staking reward, no censorship. If someone doesn't act in everyone's interest other nodes simply wont listen to them anymore. Not following the rules its publicly visible for anyone.
And since there is no reward anyway there is no financial reason why anyone would participate who does not simply want to help the system.
A number of Ruby on Rails applications use Devise for basic account management and authentication. It's about as close as you can get to a cookie-cutter experience. As long as you follow the workflow, it's pretty straight forward to handle.

Drop in the plugin you want, configure the API keys, and then wire it into your User model. Then you can customize the urls, views, and emails.

You still have to read a fair amount of documentation and a lot of developers don't like the extra up-front work and reinvent the wheel because it's "simpler".
My recollection is that Bill Bradley's A Sense of Where You Are wasn't bad. But I must have read it forty-odd years ago, and don't remember whether he had a ghost-writer.
It does wear out. As a general rule everything with moving parts can wear out, and a CPU is full of moving electrons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromigration

It takes on the order of 100 years for well made modern CPUs to fail due to these effects, but poorly made CPUs could fail far earlier. There are likely some nonzero number of failures attributable to electromigration.

There are some people who buy overclockable parts and don't overclock them because they are more robust. It's unknown exactly how or why CPUs fail. Taking them apart to check is an extremely expensive endeavor. But sometimes they do.
for what it is worth: physics is not easy, never was, never will be. the painfully slow invention (or is it discovery?) of the mathematical machinery required to understand physical phenomena is one of the most astonishing feats of the human brain. In my view it sets it apart from anything remotely "AI"-sh.

Starting with early calculus, to differential geometry, Hilbert spaces and whatnot, the brain doesn't fit models to data, it is making up categories and concepts (new classes of metamodels if you wish) as it goes along (as improved experimental devices augment our sensory inputs). To cope and explain these totally indirect information flows the brain conjures up symmetries in invisible abstract spaces, invariants and visual imagery from alien internal worlds, pursues "thought experiments" to restore sanity... Machine learning style fitting of "model" to data is just one of the final steps. Important but hardly defining the process.

The "AI" folks oversold their goods by a breathtaking factor and are now exposed to the entire planet. No physicist will ever be able to bail you out :-)
That’s not a valid evaluation order, afaik.
You can not start evaluating one argument, stop and switch to the other, then come back to the earlier one.
Physics is only semi-simple.
That's a good point. I guess our current mathematics is not good enough to say much about the macroscopic behaviour of large interacting models.

Mixing with Google results only can happen after opt-in and only in Brave browser. You can see if a single query has been mixed clicking on the `Info`, or check the independence metrics on the `Settings` tab.

The fact that you see results similar to Google for popular queries is a by-product of the fact that our ranking is trained using anonymous query-log. There is plenty of references to the methodology (https://0x65.dev/).

The fact that we are similar to Google on certain types of queries, is good (at from the perspective of human assessment). It's easy to find other types of queries for which we are not similar to Google. It would be rather stupid if we were to "use google" on easy to solve queries but not on the complicated ones, don’t you think? In any case, very nice article besides a couple of miss-conceptions (like this one), will bookmark.

A capturing lambda is another way to leak a std::shared_ptr<> - i feel like it's an even easier way to run into this kind of footgun but i suppose it depends whether you typically use lots of lambdas.

A reasonable solution in my case could be to use std::weak_ptr<> instead but that wouldn't be useful here.

Hmm, I'm not terribly convinced by those comments that the letter never happened. The justification that it's "not historical" comes from someone saying it wasn't mentioned in a summary of Ottoman-Cossack diplomatic relations, but there were many letters between the two sides during that time. It simply wasn't mentioned in the summary, not explicitly mentioned as fake. Absence of evidence and all that. Furthermore, there's not a huge gap between the time of the incident in 1676 and the earliest version of the letter we've found so far, in the early 1800s. 100-some years sounds like a lot of time, but things happened slower back then; it took 11 years just to paint the painting.

Finally, even if this particular letter is "not historical", we do have other, substantiated letters from the Zaporozhians to the Ottomans with various insults, and the painting was created with the help of historians, so the painting is fairly accurate even if the exact letter may have been a slight exaggeration of other contemporary letters.
Of course there's intent, it is just subconscious.

My (least) favorite footgun is "auto" when it comes to references.

If you want to get a pointer from something, you would write this:

auto fooPtr = mywidget.getPtr();
fooPtr->doCoolStuff();

But we all know references are better than pointers right? So we should just write...

auto fooRef = myWidget.getRef();
fooRef.doCoolStuff()

The problem is... this is valid and will probably not do what you want. It will make a copy. What you want is actually

auto& fooRef = myWidget.getRef();

I once spent an entire day debugging a bizarre crash because of that. I was asking for a reference to a scene graph, and what was actually happening is I was getting a clone of the scene graph (which was an object that couldn't be safely copied), and then destroying a bunch of shared pointers when the function returned. Fun times.

The nested function execution interleaving blew my mind (imagine having to debug that), so I had to look it up. Apparently, interleaving is prohibited in C++17 onward. So this:

> The second one is there since this is C++, priority() might raise an exception, meaning that new Widget will be called, but never passed to std::shared_ptr, and thus never deleted!

Is now impossible (thank God!). See a full SO discussion here[1]. Stuff like this makes me so happy I don't write C++ anymore, but the gist of it is (from the standard):

> For each function invocation F, for every evaluation A that occurs within F and every evaluation B that does not occur within F but is evaluated on the same thread and as part of the same signal handler (if any), either A is sequenced before B or B is sequenced before A.

Let me get this straight. He launched some backup command, it didn't output anything for hours, he suspected it hadn't done anything, aborted with ctrl-c, and then learned that he aborted it at 90%. Wipes the partial backup, starts again.

After _that_ experience, he blindly trusts the result of _the same tool_, blindly wipes everything? Wtf.

To some degree, sci fi might only be a marginal extension. The more recent a sci fi story is, the more closely related to actual sci they tend to be. But really old (pre-Star Wars) sci fi that is based on ideas instead of currently existing technologies could be helpful in your pursuit.

I would hazard to say that's how Elon Musk got the idea to land his rocket engines the way they now do. Before then, it was as impossible to land a rocket that way, as it was to fly to the Moon or Mars. Now that both are common, sci fi based on those ideas won't tickle much of your inner-child brain.

Man living on Mars stories aren't that different than dealing with living in the desert. Only add radiation, a lack of breathable air, and REALLY slow Internet. And we know there aren't civilizations of little green men living there, so that's out of the picture, too.

Even stories of living on the USS Enterprise aren't so far fetched anymore. We've had several space stations already, and a couple of new ones going up right now. They only don't travel so far.

You definitely need to aim for far more simplicity when looking for something that would allow you to think in a more childlike manner again.
Some whataboutism .. individual people expend energy for countless things that are useless or even harmful to many others. Most people in the west are totally egoistic when it comes to the sheer amount of energy/resources they use/consume.
> "... what a colossal waste."

Compared to all this, the energy/environmental footprint of bitcoin is laughably tiny.

IMO bitcoin does indeed have the potential of solving a global problem (not easily manipulatable reserve currency) .. that'd be a political/economic benefit that would justify a non trivial expenditure of resources.

No, not ALL backups, just the first backup you do: you test that you can restore the data from it.

Then you can be confident that following backups will be restorable.

I disagree strongly with this as blanket advice. A large number of SaaS apps are primarily CRUD apps where outputs are database updates and/or API calls. No-code platforms could support many of these quite well through the first $1m + of revenue.

ECC NIST curves were proposed by the NSA. They have some unusual hand-selected constants that nobody quite understands exactly why they were selected.

https://miracl.com/blog/backdoors-in-nist-elliptic-curves/

“Working in collaboration with the NSA, NIST included three sets of recommended elliptic curves in FIPS 186-2 that were generated using the algorithms in the American National Standard (ANS) X9.62 standard and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) P1363 standards.”: What exactly is NIST’s justification for making claims regarding the method that NSA used to generate these curves? The fact that a hash matches is publicly verifiable, but the distribution of “random” inputs is not. I have heard NSA employees claiming that the “random” inputs were actually generated as hashes of English text chosen (and later forgotten) by Jerry Solinas."

You don't pay tax on rent, so I don't see the connection. Some people might have stopped paying rent but kept paying income tax, so they contributed to this as well.

Feel free to post examples of right-leaning media doing it. Like for example the mask idiocy, because your example doesn't make any sense. As I said, it wasn't my intention on picking on the left here. It's just that the 'mainstream' right don't have the 'activist spirit' like the left or the fringes have, so it happens behind the closed doors and saying the same about the right would be technically a mere speculation on my part. Activism on the other hand happens out in the open on the internet and you can see all the tactics for yourself. Also I'd love to refute the 'wokeness' meaning 'being polite', but that would probably be a somewhat longer discussion and given the situation I'm unable to do it. You can thank the mods.
There is risk that the property would be damaged, risk that massive maintenance bills could arise (cracks in the foundation), risk that it would be unrentable, that rental rates would drop, or that property values would decrease.

When I say it was implemented, I mean at Netscape around 1999 we had projects with banks where they issued smart cards, used with USB readers, that facilitated SSL client cert auth.
