Sure if you play a bad opening, you'll get problems. Especially if it's just a one trick pony. When I say dubious opening I mean the kind top grandmasters rarely play. I play the Modern Benoni with black. Sure it's dubious and white can get a pretty big advantage. But it's an opening with absolutely endless complexity in terms of the middle games that can arise. It's sharp, difficult to play for both sides, and I enjoy these positions and have played them for years now, with probably thousands of blitz games in the Benoni, and quite a few classical tournament games under my belt. I think all in all I've memorised maybe two or three lines back when I started playing it. The rest is all just my experience and intuition for the various set ups. And guess what, the lines I memorised? They hardly ever occur, because my white opponents never know them and they're the kond of thing you're not gonna find over the board, which is why I memorised them. And I win most of my games in the modern benoni at the 1800 FIDE level.

Point is memorisation is pointless. The way to study an opening is to understand the ideas, possible endgames, tactical and various structures that can arise.
I doubted you, for that I offer my apologies.

I don't think that follows. We only get to see GPT-2, 3, 4, not 2.5, 3.33, 3.95. We have no way to assess whether LLM performance is continuous or discontinuous.

It's like if you gave me 3 different cars with 50 horsepower, 100 horsepower and 250 horsepower. I'd say that these cars aren't "progressing along a scale" but "showing radical leaps in performance" but in fact top speed does scale with engine power.
As it says very well in the post. It seems like people that are in charge of mastodon don't really think things are wrong the way they are, and that's the biggest issue imo but also, maybe mastodon just doesn't want to be an alternative to twitter and that's a fair stance to take.
It’s a simple breach of contract. A rental agreement basically states that the tenant will pay rent and the landlord will provide a habitable apartment. The most common breach occurs when the tenant doesn’t pay their rent. However, when the apartment isn’t habitable, it’s the landlord who is in breach. The damages in such a case are the cost of substitue comparable accommodations, even if that cost is higher than the rental amount. So the landlord may not have to provide substitute accommodations, but he would be liable for damages if he didn’t.

Edit: I may be biased by living in California where there is apparently an implied warranty of habitability.

I've seen a couple of subreddits publish their stats on user agents (moderators get access to this), and even on highly technical ones IIRC the old design and third-party apps are miniscule compared to the vast majority being the official app and current website. I'm fairly sure r/homelab was one of them, but Google seems to indicate that isn't the case.
Yeah, I was gonna say—Reddit's UX has been getting steadily worse for years now, but Discord is a poor replacement. No hate to Discord's own UX, it's just a totally different kind of experience for what Reddit is (supposed to be).
Most of those keyboard shortcuts are worth learning; there are more, though, and the article leaves out why they are the way they are and that they're available anywhere GNU readline is used.

Here's a more detailed article I wrote about them a while back:

because the money printer is now a money vacuum

Depends on your definition of "now". (Related: "How Long Is the Coast of Britain?")

The printing of unprecedented amounts of money from 2008 to now created those low yields the banks are seeing. And now there was a tiny increase in yields the banks go under.

This would not have happened with a stable supply of the base currency.

We’d love to get a report for this! While we are sure we will make bugs (which is also why we have the notice up on the repository, and you have to go through some hoops in order to use it), we also think that we can try and come up with an implementation that is safer in other ways as well. And if nothing else then at least some good attention will hopefully be drawn to sudo, because it can use a little care and attention.
> should compare today's figures with 2010 figures, not the ones from a year ago

Nobody will argue we didn’t print money in the last decade. Per unit of GDP, we have 22% more money than we had ten years ago [1].

Implying recent bank failures are causing that to increase is false, and in some ways backwards.

We spent millennia with examples of stable, metal currencies and bank failures. Then, like now, bankers chased risks. First Republic financed long-term Treasuries. Romans financed eastern fineries [1]. Many others blew capital on kings’ failed wars.

You're not wrong (but I dispute the fairy tale characterization you attributed to my comment).

Everyone's life priorities and capabilities are different. Occasionally over the years I have had enough disposable income and free time to work on a passion project. Since the latest inflation wave that has gone away sadly, but before that I was able to commit a few hundred a month.

Eventually, one did get a large amount of traffic, and a handful of volunteers forming a team. While it wasn't something I could monetize, it did contribute to successful job interviews, and a temp gig working for someone who was a user of the project and gave me priority over other candidates due to seen first-hand that I was fixing things when they needed to be fixed.

Keeping the costs low can be done, some are better than others at it. Low-cost IT infrastructure still exists, even in this economy. You should go into such a project expecting to not outgrow your cheap infrastructure unless you are in fact turning it into a business. Otherwise it is wasted effort (and money).
Even today, client cert selection in the browser is really ugly.

I once needed to add client cert support to an API but because the same API was used by our SPA, enabling client certs even as optional caused the browser to display a cert prompt when the SPA made its first API call.

To get around this, I ended up writing a custom IIS module that turned on client cert support only when a certain request header was present.
I'm really looking for a good ergonomic keyboard right now (split or non-split). I'm using Redox, but the bamboo case is falling apart and sometimes I miss F-keys (it'd be nice to one-shot steps during debugging rather than having to press a key combination) or a physical numpad (for entering numbers I prefer the numpad, but I just don't love switching layers).

The Ergo K860 looks nice. I've also been eyeing the Kinesis Advantage 360, though it has no F-Keys. Another option would be the Glove80. The MS/Logitech keyboards are super cheap in comparison. Would you say not having ortholinear keys is a big difference for ergonomics?

> so you end up transporting a bunch of pixel data slowly over the wire — VNCs are much better at this problem then the naive approach

This technically correct caveat, which keeps coming up, is technically correct, but IMHO misses the point. This limited form of network transparency (it's not like pixels are slowly pushed out-of-band, you're still doing that over X) is not the most suitable solution to this problem, but how fast you're pushing frames isn't the only relevant metric.

This is slow in principle but still fast enough for most local networks. But more importantly, unlike with any VNC out there:

* It takes zero time to set up. If you have SSH setup on the server, all you need to turn it into a poor man's version of VNC is to flip the X forwarding flag. There are no additional packages to install and no services to manage besides what you're probably already using (SSH).

* It doesn't introduce an additional account management layer (no vncpasswd madness, no syncing between AD and VNC accounts and dealing with the breakage that happens when that inevitably breaks, no cloud credentials). Account and key management are easy (and you're probably doing it already!). If you need to change laptops, you just change laptops and take the keys with you -- it still takes zero time to setup.

* Even though you're just slowly pushing pixels over the wire, remote applications remain manageable by the local window manager. You don't Alt-Tab between your windows and a window with all your other windows or deal with wonky attempts to use a "rootless" VNC display mode (e.g. different keyboard maps)

Pushing pixels is certainly slow but, if you're doing it over a contemporary local network, it's fast enough and in my obviously subjective experience a way better than any VNC I've used. X-based (-ish) solutions like xpra or x2go, which still mostly push pixels, slowly, are so much better it's not even funny. Not good, mind you, there hasn't been a good experience in this field in forever, but still much closer to seamlessly using local and remote applications than any cross-platform VNC around.
There are all kinds of differences between 2008 and now, but setting those aside - I think the genie was out of the bottle well before 2008 - it's just in 2008 everyone noticed. After all, it doesn't sound like many experts find it plausible that non intervention in 2008 was a realistic option assuming you want to avoid much worse consequences. At best, earlier intervention might have reduced the visibility and impact of symptoms.

The underlying issue is that even uninsured risks in banks must de-facto be largely covered by some central authority (whether FDIC or otherwise) otherwise the whole system is at serious risk of pretty catastrophic failure. The interaction of the lack of (formal) insurance for large deposits and the fluidity of those deposits make bank runs at the first sign of serious risk inevitable.

How important that problem is - I'm not informed enough to have an opinion on. But that problem didn't start in 2008, that's for sure. I am curious as to what actual subject matter experts think ideal solutions would be, and what haphazard lobbyist inspired patch-job we'll actually get.

I don't think 11yr vs 15yr/16yr is a big difference for measuring. I started early, probably falling into 11yr category. Many years passed, and recently I had a chance to look at my code of the age probably around 20. There were so many wrongs in the code that I stopped counting. Definitely I learned a lot since then. So the period between 11yr and 21yr was just fun for coding and getting things working as quickly as possible (youth just can not wait).

How much do you think these numbers are impacted by people who arrive at posts via search engine versus active subscribers to a community? We all know that adding "reddit" to the end of your search query is a quick path to getting human-authored (and reasonably decent) results, which I'd imagine applies double to the topics covered by technical subs.

Probably safe to assume that people hitting Reddit via Google aren't opening those search results in a third-party app, and then there's the fact that the site defaults to the new layout for logged-out users.

(In other words, I'd be curious to see breakdowns between subscriber traffic and non-subscriber traffic and doesn't-even-have-a-Reddit-account traffic, if those breakdowns even exist.)

> The main real issue is that - if the attacker can control the size of the VLA -, it is possible to overflow the stack into the heap.

I think the main gripe most programmers have with VLA is lack of control over them. Fixed size array is, nomen omen, fixed and predictable - can even be tested beforehand. malloc() at least returns NULL on fail (although memory overcommitment muddies the situation), so program can take some action. But what happens when VLA fails? Segfault? Stack crash protection if compiled with it or worse if without? None of those options is graceful from the perspective of end user.

> This can be avoided by using stack clash protection which compilers support only since a couple of years.

As you yourself say, it's been only few years since this protection made its way into compilers. But that's not the issue. The issue is that `-fstack-clash-protection` isn't part of C language, it's part of compiler. What's the incentive for the developer to use less certain feature when there are easier alternatives?

Yes, this seems much more common in fiction than in reality.
The ways in which we classify violence is itself often sexist and reinforces toxic gender stereotypes. Many of the violent things women do are normalized in society because they're not seen as 'real' violence and diminished solely by virtue of having been committed by a woman (e.g. intimate partner violence against men in heterosexual relationships, intimate partner violence against women in lesbian relationships, or child abuse especially against girls and & gender-conforming children), often seen as not 'worthy' of the same types of classification or intervention as violence perpetrated by men.

This is the flip side of the stereotypes we typically associate with misogyny, and a form of benevolent sexism[0]: "women are weak" -> "women can't be violent" -> "women can't be soldiers" -> "women can't be abusers or criminals".

As for psychological violence, the subreddit /r/RaisedByNarcissists is full of women talking about living with the aftermath of abusive mothers.

If one believes in "the radical notion that women are people" then it stands to reason women can fully embody the totality of the human experience, which includes a certain capacity and propensity for violence.
