Probably the same reason as with other libraries from the academia. When all free licenses are pretty much equivalent from your point of view, choosing a license is just a bureaucratic formality. The person choosing the license usually doesn't think about the issue too much, and they probably don't have that much experience with licenses anyway.

The currently active fork of SDSL (https://github.com/xxsds/sdsl-lite) has a BSD license. There was supposed to be a team developing the fork, but most people either left the academia or had their research interests move elsewhere. Now there seems to be just a single developer who maintains SDSL as a byproduct of SeqAn.
> but couldn't you make an idempotent semaphore by changing the signature to be increment/decrement(source, from, to)

Think about a mutex lock: if the semaphore (aka: mutex) is already locked, your signature is: sem_wait(mutex, 0, 0).

Which is not idempotent. Two "sem_waits(s, 0, 0)" mean that you need two (other) threads to unlock you. One sem_wait(s, 0, 0) means that only one other thread needs to unlock you.

------

Semaphores used in this manner are how you implement reader/writer locks, as well as thread barriers. (If 100 threads are in existence, you wait for 100 semaphore_posts from those 100 other threads).

None of the semaphores or mutexes are idempotent. And never can be.
You learn to throw a ball while running by building on top of many processes that allow you to stand up straight, run, etc. It’s like multiple FPGA operating together rather than a DSP.

As to simulating a ball being thrown, that’s one thing that the brain already does. Visualization is a simulation.
Sabine has been so rock solid on everything I've seen from her that I tend to take her seriously.
Please don't make this adversarial.

I've not introduced a security bug in every for loop I've written. What I've written shouldn't be controversial, just take a look at Googles style guide:

"We use int very often, for integers we know are not going to be too big, e.g., loop counters. Use plain old int for such things. You should assume that an int is at least 32 bits, but don't assume that it has more than 32 bits. If you need a 64-bit integer type, use int64_t or uint64_t.

For integers we know can be "big", use int64_t.

You should not use the unsigned integer types such as uint32_t, unless there is a valid reason such as representing a bit pattern rather than a number, or you need defined overflow modulo 2^N. In particular, do not use unsigned types to say a number will never be negative. Instead, use assertions for this.

If your code is a container that returns a size, be sure to use a type that will accommodate any possible usage of your container. When in doubt, use a larger type rather than a smaller type.

Use care when converting integer types. Integer conversions and promotions can cause undefined behavior, leading to security bugs and other problems."
There was a comment on Slashdot years ago about making special vodka with hot peppers, vodka and Mason jars: chop peppers in half, put in mason jar, close mason jar, put at back of cabinet for a few months.

I don’t consume this very often anymore, and my tolerance for capsaicin is not what it once was, but I think you never go back to the tolerance of people who have not trained themselves to tolerate relatively-high amounts of the stuff.

Had a girlfriend who got down on herself and locked herself in the bedroom with a bottle of wine. She came out when it was finished and said she needed more alcohol. I reached into the freezer and handed her my bottle of special vodka. She tipped up the bottle and took a generous shot. She instantly knew what I’d done: “asshole”, then went outside and threw it all up. She didn’t drink alcohol again for 3 or 5 years.

Lots of my taxi passengers had drinking problems. One of my favorite stories was the old guy who explicitly pointed this out to me. Eventually I mostly figured out better strategies for dealing with the cause behind the compulsion…

But capsaicin-vodka is a good way to sour drunks on helping themselves to your fine liquor collection.

OpenSpeedTest Version 2.5.2 Update. (Added DarkMode)
my question was not well-written. Should've been: Is it worthwhile exercise? And you answered that one. I guess it all depends on how much assistance you let go through.
Indeed it does. I was born a few years later :-) That's what I love about "digital archaeology" like this - it's so much fun to find and explore things from a time you can't possibly imagine on your own.
It seems like a grey area. Especially given that the driver is a mash-up of sample code from a third-party hardware SDK and a Microsoft book, would Kodak/Pakon really care?

I would think the only part of the software that still might retain trade secrets would be the color management code, and that's not in the driver.
Tamagui UI kit & style system for React Native & Web with an optimizing compiler
Yes. Try riding one and it’s self-evident that it is. (Unless it has a throttle and you’re using that the whole time, but if your goal is exercise don’t do that!)
Either this is a flippant response or you've never been on an ebike. They are not motorcycles and require effort from the rider. The effort can be as minimal or as strenuous as you desire. If you measure by duration the effort is the same. If you measure by speed than one may exercise less overall but folks tend to make more ebike trips so there could be an offset there.

It is ridiculous to question if there is any effort expended.
The hybrid version of the Jogger will – like Renault’s full-hybrid versions of the Clio and Captur – be based on a 1.6 liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. The E-Tech system uses two electric motors, a starter motor and a drive unit, that are controlled by a clutchless “dog box” transmission.

Dacia did not release horsepower figures or a sales price for the hybrid version, but the drivetrain produces 140 hp in the Clio. Dacia said it will be “the most affordable seven-seater hybrid on the market.”

Renault says the E-Tech system allows for 80 percent of urban driving in electric-only mode, and for a total fuel savings of 40 percent compared with a comparable gasoline drivetrain.
Project Farm: Ratcheting Screwdrivers [video]
“The level of alcohol consumption that minimised harm across health outcomes was zero (95% UI 0·0–0·8) standard drinks per week.” Seems pretty clear.

It’s likely that the risk of,(e.g.) one drink per month is also very low. What’s not here is the inflection point where alcohol consumption goes from a (subjective) minimal risk to an elevated risk.
It is news. Guilty until proven innocent is a bad system.
Often (parts of) the C standard library (those needed for a freestanding environment) are actually "baked in" to the compiler, and not actually separate header files at all (though equivalent headers may be provided as well).

In C89, those are float.h, limits.h, iso646.h, stdarg.h, and stddef.h.

C99 added stdbool.h, and stdint.h.

C11 added stdalign.h, and stdnoreturn.h.

So those headers are part of the standard library, but they're also usually part of the compiler. The line gets very blurry.

Yes I would not advise anyone working full time to have a pet that needs a lot of social company and exercise. A cat might be content to be alone in the house for 8 or 10 hours while you're at work, but most dogs will get stressed out and be unhappy with that. Dogs are not just pets, they are companion animals.
Reminds me of how my Windows Mobile phone over 20 years ago would sometimes bring up the dialpad without the "9" available, which was the last straw for me and got me to switch.
Yeah, for me it was more like working maybe 2 hours a day and then sneaking out early to catch a movie. Moviepass and "quiet quitting" or whatever you want to call it were a match that made for a beautiful summer in 2018.
Can you give an example of this convex assumption push down? It doesn’t seem right to me. For instance, due to cache line sizes and other blocking/buffering effects throughout hardware and the OS, I actually would expect “staircase” functions which aren’t convex.

Maybe that’s convex if you smooth enough. But depends on the buffer sizes.

Again, "well, it's just obvious, dude" is not evidence. It's similar to a "god of the gaps" argument. If there's evidence Kiwi Farms did it, then Kiwi Farms did it, and if there's not evidence that Kiwi Farms did it, then Kiwi Farms still did it. That makes no sense.

I would just note here that the CDC is unequivocal on this point with respect to cigarettes, saying always that there is "no safe level of consumption."

I think that sort of language is basically absurd, but the message it sends is crystal clear: this thing is bad for you, even in small amounts, and you're doing harm when you use it.

I think the CDC could easily settle on the same language with respect to alcohol, if there weren't socio-cultural reasons not to.

Another aspect of this is that we discourage even light cigarette use because of the fear that users might become addicted and escalate their usage. [0] It's interesting how rarely you hear that kind of an argument against drinking alcohol, and yet, unlike with smoking, increased usage can actually be ruinous. On the day you take your first sip of alcohol you're accepting a 1 in x risk that you'll end up a problem drinker (where x is anywhere from 3 or 4 to 20, depending on what definition of "problem drinker" you're willing to accept).

[0] I remember many years ago when I was a very light smoker trying to find statistics online about moderate cigarette use and it was basically impossible, because every single statement about cigarettes was of the form, "you won't be able to only smoke a little, so don't even bother trying."
I know today home schooling is often discussed as a political talking point, but I do have some experience with it and I can't say enough good about it. The main problem I have with public school is that you have 30ish kids in a single class room all learning the same way. Everyone is unique and kids learn in many different ways.

I had a kid in my family who did home schooling for a few years and it was basically a window of time to complete the material. You could structure your day in a traditional format where you spend so much time on a specific subject then move on or focus on a specific subject until you complete it.

The only challenge is ensuring that your kids still have social interaction. The kid in my family played sports and there were a lot of kids in his neighborhood so it worked out pretty good.

Not to mention, there are more options to pick from regarding each subject. I forget all of the options for Science, but one was "forensic science" which I thought was pretty cool.
I'm not gonna take anyone's side here, just to point out that "bias" goes both ways. Carmack is a life-long game-developer (always more focused on "technical" aspects of gamedev, like graphics), and now basically a rich celebrity, who can indulge himself by something as grand and abstract as "working on AGI" (since 2019).

While Hotz is probably best known for his exploits, he still is a legit machine learning professional, and comma.ai is legit business actually focused on "AI-kinda -stuff".

Now, AGI is that thing from the joke about "teenage sex". Everyone has some opinion, but we don't really take it too seriously when LeCun, or Karpathy, or Hinton express their opinions on that, because everyone (except for Musk fans, obviously) knows, that no one knows. And as I've said, I'm not gonna take anyone's side here, but unlike Hotz, Carmack has almost as much clue about that stuff as some random FE-developer out there. So you can as well replace "bias" with "experience" here, and it would be as true, but the whole meaning would be quite different.
For now. The foot would be in door to enable it system-wide.

They do indeed handle a lot of UGC, the vast majority of which is filtered out by AI and then teams upon teams to review inconclusive results / reports. Millions of users that can report what the AI and teams missed. With a quarterly revenue of $29 billion to fund their efforts. With all that it still takes 30 minutes for mass-reports to reach a human, weeks or longer for less reported content.

KF is operating at a loss with volunteers trying to filter the content and handling the reports; still the vast majority is handled within minutes.

The ratio of investment/resources to response-time should be in FBs favour, yet them being slow / inefficient is expected while a small forum "can't successfully moderate" if it takes 13 minutes to remove a problematic post that few users ever even saw.

We had a similar situation with a guy who's old CRT monitor was "jiggly". I replaced the monitor. Same problem. Replaced the network card. Same problem. Tried replacing the whole PC. Same problem.

Finally I put his whole set up on a cart with a giant extension cord and wheeled it out into the hallway. The problem went away.

> The primary risk presented by AGPL is that any product or service that depends on AGPL-licensed code ... _may be_ subject to the virality of the AGPL license.

This is aggressive scare tactics. It's very straightforward when this is triggered.

When you're using code unmodified as a library (whether source or binary) it's not triggered at all.

When you _do_ make upstream modifications, it's triggered. That is the specific risk, and it is easily satisfied by open-sourcing the full modified version.

The whole "if a remote user uses it" argument is FUD. It closes a loophole in GPL where remote use != distribution.

Google is hostile to copyleft full stop. So are other bigcos and cargo-culting smallcos/startups. That doesn't make it right.
I'm currently using a 6 year old phone. Now that I don't take many photos and use it lightly - it actually performs far better than the previous 3 new phones I had - 2 of which were flagships.
The S22 I sent back had worse battery-life than my current phone - it was doing heavy background-work, despite having all the battery-optimal settings enabled.

To the point:
New phones are way too big, too power-hungry, the newer they get the more 'features' they have that I didn't ask for and don't want - not least is the data mining by everybody under the sun at the firmware level.

I've given up buying new phones. When this one cunks-out I'll buy an old-used one. That is unless there comes a real alternative to increasingly crappy android & the above issues are resolved.

It's abundantly clear from the replies in this thread that people are thinking emotionally, not rationally.

They're pissed off at their phone, and reaching for the biggest stick they can find -- not to fix the problem, but to punish whoever caused it. Likely, they wouldn't even punish the right person, it would just be a scapegoat sacrificed to appease their wrath.

Your comment is right on the nose when it comes to thinking rationally, and not emotionally.

A smart phone is not like the flight computers on a 747. If you want guaranteed 911 access with the threat of criminal prosecution if it fails, I'll happily design you a device. It will cost $50k, and will have a monthly service fee of $1000 per user. It won't have any other features besides 911. But it will work!

People just don't know what they're demanding.
I'm in awe at the level of expertise required to dive this deep into the kernel.

If you're really on a budget you can probably go back even more generations and get both an acceptable phone and one that'll get updates for some time. Which are probably more important for iOS because it's such a single big target compared to the fragmented Android world. I'm currently using an iPhone 6s I got in February 2020 for $200 from my Consumer Cellular MVNO which unlocks it after 6 months.

One thing you'll lose with the older phones sooner than iOS updates is AppleCare support, but if you get a good bargain to begin with....

I wonder how far you could go generating tons of images from human art "feedstock", having people select the best 0.1% of them, then using them as input for another round, and so on. Then replace the people with another AI whose job it is to grade aesthetics of an image somehow, for a fully closed loop.

Edit: In other words...

1. Train your stable diffusion model using a corpus of normal human images.

2. Use the model to generate thousands of images.

3. Use human analysts to train another AI how to find "good" images in that set.

4. Generate ten million stable diffusion images.

5. Use the other AI to find the "good" ones.

6. Use those to train another stable diffusion model.

7. Goto 4.

(You lose some information each iteration, though, so it would probably eventually converge to grey goo or millions of pictures of Agent Smith.)
As a developer, I worry about this. However, I also don't work on systems that could cause anyone a level of harm resulting in criminal damage. If I did, I'd like to think I'd increase the care I put into my craft 1000x. I realize that's not doable in many companies, and that's the problem. Too many companies taking the "move fast and break things" attitude towards people's lives and safety. This is how you invite the big foot of government regulation.
I had one of these as a kid. I think it was the basic 3100 with the gold front.

From memory the major problem for me was not the picture quality or an lack of features on the camera. It was the cost of film, developing and that it only had a few exposures per disk.

It was just too expensive to run compared to a 35mm camera. A few years later the disposable 35mm cameras came out and that just killed it completely.
