ISO C says that x isn't a valid pointer for dereferencing, so *x = 0x1234 is undefined behavior. If in your environment that pointer refers to some location where you can put a value, and this is documented, then you're using a documented extension.

If you're using some environment in which x isn't the zero address, but you do want the actual zero address, you need some other way to obtain it, like converting a non-constant expression:

const int x = 0;
char *zeroaddr = (char *) x;

C implementations are not required to diagnose null dereferences. In many familiar environments, its arranged by the way the program is loaded. An unmapped page of virtual memory is put at that address. That scheme can be defeated if an offset is involved ptr[large_offset] or ptr->member where member is at a large offset into the struct type.

It's possible to have run-time checks for a null pointer as a compiler option, with a run-time penalty. Other than that, you can use assertions to defend against them.
The first part just means that Congress cannot regulate established state churches (https://live-bri-dos.pantheonsite.io/activities/handout-c-ma...), while the second states that Congress cannot prohibit people from practicing their religion.

What the first amendment doesn’t do is exclude moral beliefs rooted in religion from being the basis of public policy. If the government can regulate conduct that kills living things, then it’s immaterial whether any particular legislation is rooted in the moral framework of Christianity or Islam or Feminism. In the American system, all moral frameworks, whether rooted in religion or not, are on equal footing. That’s distinct from secularism, as practiced by France and formerly Turkey, where religious philosophy is singled out and excluded from the public sphere.
Thus the importance of backing up the seed phrase. Bad actor that wishes to cause harm can use a hammer.

Get a PS5, buy a few (physical if you want to resell) games from a genre you're into (YouTube is full of reviews so you can check out the gameplay). Seems like you can cut on iPhone and trade it in for some gaming time.

Don't force yourself into playing. Prefer short to medium games (see howlongtobeat.com). Single player because you can pick it up and stop whenever you please.

If you decide it's not for you, sell the console and games at a small loss.

There have been so many great games since PS3 era, plenty to choose from :)

Show HN: Legend-State 1.0 – The fastest React state library
After almost a year of development and iterating, we just released Legend-State 1.0. It's the fastest React state library and is very easy to use, based on Observables (Signals) with fine-grained reactivity and built-in persistence.

I'd love to know what you think, and I'm also happy to answer any general JavaScript performance questions if you want since I've gone very deep into optimizing .

Even divorced from the context of the discussion the claim strikes me as untrue: “noble savages” go back centuries earlier than the 20th Century counterculture.
It depends on the audience, and the producer. Some people are content with listening to robotic-sounding Vocaloid type synths, others prefer something closer to an authentic singing voice with the more complex range of emotion that can be expressed.

Even just from a technology point of view, I find it fascinating to see how the envelope is being pushed via machine learning models.
it's using "overlapping chunking" methods and it usually works for generic PDFs. It really falls apart on technical documents, SOPs and research articles where you need to get context from chunks way above. Using vector DBs also doesn't work well bc you have to twiddle around with window size / overlappy-ness, which changes depending on what kind of paper you're uploading. It's a mess and takes too long

> Unless you can buy the hardware directly from the manufacturer, and ideally you walked into the factory and bought it at the source, the risk of compromise is too great.

That's an awful idea. If you're the type of person to worry about being supply-chain-attacked, then targeted supply-chain attacks are far more likely to happen to you than untargeted ones are. Specifically, you are more likely to be supply-chain attacked by an entity who has the power to either compel or blackmail the OEM into giving you a first-party-adulterated device (think: Huawei network switches), than by an entity who's supply-chain-attacking random strangers. This doesn't just include governments, mind you, but also any sufficiently-wide-reaching criminal gang.

Showing up in person to the factory — or to a retail store — means the intelligence operative planted there can recognize you, and give you the "special" device prepared just for you; or the employee can be compelled by certain training (required to be allowed to sell such devices in certain countries) to follow the special instructions that come up when they swipe your credit card.

So what to do? Don't show up in person. Send a one-time proxy buyer to show up in person. And have the proxy buyer pay in cash, or using their own card.

Think what an American diplomat stationed in China would do if they absolutely needed to get e.g. a new smartphone right away. Normally they'd just wait for something like that to be sent over from America via diplomatic courier, specifically to avoid this problem. But if they couldn't — then proxy-buying at retail is the next-best solution.

(Funny enough, this is also the same thing that computer-hardware reviewers have to do to avoid getting a "reviewer special" binning of the hardware. Counterintelligence is oddly generalizable!)

I am somewhat technically savvy and find what is described hard. Now I imagine all those crypto bros saying banks are zeros and no one needs to use them and all should go into crypto and then regular people would just quickly lose all the money to scammers. I can't imagine a grandma following all the procedures to store her crypto or trying to send crypto to someone without messing up a letter in the wallet. I don't know what the solution is that is not centralized and yet secured and easy to use & understand for regular people.

The ESP Box with the ESP32 S3 has robust bluetooth support and I don't see A2DP/BT/pairing management/etc being that big of a lift. In full transparency it's probably towards the bottom on the priorities list ATM but the important thing is it's on the list already and it happens to be something I'm personally interested in :).
If an attacker succeeds in tampering with the firmware on a crypto wallet (and more generally any secure authentication/transaction confirmation device), losing authentication/signature capabilities is very likely the second worst outcome.
re:1) If a child in highschool (16) is experimenting with a elementary/middleschooler (12/13), there is a problem. The groupings of children in educational institutions is not abstract. So yes this is pedophilia.

re:2) The assumption that they can’t give consent is due to the inherent power imbalance in their “relationship”.
What is derisively referred to as "guilt by association" is generally a pretty good way to evaluate moral character.

Here's where "guilt by association" is bad:

1. You're a vegetarian.

2. Hitler is also a vegetarian.

3. Therefore, you're evil.

Here's where making inferences about moral character using personal associations is good:

1. Bill Gates started his relationship with Epstein, after Epstein was convicted of sex crimes.

2. There is no reasonable way Gates couldn't know this about Epstein.

3. Therefore, Gates is in the wrong for having a relationship with Epstein.

There are many factors that go into evaluating such claims, such as whether it is reasonable to know the facts about the person you are associating with, and what sort of power dynamic exists between the two. For example, MIT Media Lab received a lot of funding from Epstein, and yet I don't think the students there need to be tarred by association. The professors, I'm more suspicious of. The leadership like Joi Ito are despicable, given that Epstein was convicted of "procuring a child for prostitution" in 2008!

Simply dismissing all of these claims as "guilt by association" means that you aren't evaluating their respective strengths independently.
Ok, I can see that context of the statement making it controversial.

Taken out of context it’s a different story.

The closest real world example of the Chinese Room I know about is Richard Feynman's adventures teaching physics in Brazil. His students memorized the textbooks and could manipulate the symbols, and answer test questions correctly,"because they were "almost exclusive teaching and learning by means of pure abject memory." They also never tested their knowledge against that of their friends in discussions, for fear of losing face.

Therefore, when it came to any experiment or application in the real world, the students were as hopeless as if they knew nothing. They had just been playing a symbol-swapping game.

The tutorial is really thorough.
In practice: one shot or possibly one shot every few years and you have about 50-75% less chance of getting influenza. If enough people get it it could increase herd immunity further reducing your chances of getting it.

I’ll take it.

Antivaxxers will of course find some other explanation for the reduction in flu cases or point to the people who still get it as proof the vaccine doesn’t work.
>But it doesn't make a lot of sense to me since influenza will be mutating to escape the immune response

Not all mutations are equal; the flu has antigenic factors that rapidly change in response to evolutionary pressure that don't significantly affect the fitness of the virus. If you're able to target another element of the virus that is conserved, or target a large segment of the possible antigenic conformations in a single vaccine, you'd force immune evasion mutations to significantly lower the virus's fitness, which is a very big deal.
This isn't the place to have this discussion. As a writer who writes stories set in the past, you have to be really careful with this topic. It's not one you bring up in a general forum.
Eskimos also would have no access to a good source of sugar, so attributing everything to a different type of meat is very myopic.
You have to trust somebody when it comes to hardware devices.

If you don't do anything, that includes the OEM, their supply chain, your delivery courier, an evil maid etc.

If you have the choice of reducing that list to only the OEM, isn't that a win? That's what attestation does.
It wasn't taken out of context, considering the context was him reacting to the news of a possible new pro pedophilia party in the Netherlands. It wasn't a one off comment either.

Again, I'm not saying he is guilty of a thought crime just that I understand that (and why) there is a controversy and that it isn't accurate to say that "We ll never know what "the situation" is and whatever "statements that do not correspond to any of our values" are". We know those statements.
It would only work once. The only thing you need for this to be stopped is having the speaker of the house present to deny the quorum under rules. you're basically counting on absence for this to work. Its a one shot deal (the end run around this is just having the majority speaker camp out near the house at all times)
Even CA's certicates (which they use to sign customer's certificates) can be revoked. I had that happen to one of mine making it unusable in browsers.
I feel slightly impatient but I got a startup to build and this is blocking me. Yes I have other things in this dev cycle to get done but they all require user phone numbers and verification. Just my experience with other APIs have never had this problem where when you first sign up you instantly get suspended. AWS does this if you request a bunch of new compute instances on a fresh account, but Twilio not even letting me send like a limit of 50 messages I think is weird. Even 10 messages for testing purposes would be fine until their further API account validation process is complete.
> Is very controversial, even if he backpedalled (only after it resurfaced and created a lot of controversy).

He said he didn’t understand the issue and talking to abuse survivors helped him understand it better, and that led to him changing his view. To me, that sounds like a person simply updating their views in response to new evidence-new to them even if much older to many others. Labelling it as “back-pedalling” seems to me to be needlessly uncharitable to him

It might be hard to understand why it took him so long to realise this-but I think you have to understand he occupies a very different position in society from most people, with the result he is often ignorant of mainstream trends, or feels no motivation to care about them. His former position on this was actually reasonably mainstream on the Left in the 60s/70s, so in itself far from unusual for someone of his vintage, what was unusual was it took him so long to abandon it (or at least learn to shut up about it). But, if you try to understand him, rational explanations for it taking him that long may occur to you

I’ve never seen any evidence he has any actual sexual interest in children - just that children are somewhat of an intellectual abstraction to him. Before I became a father, children were somewhat of an intellectual abstraction to me too. I think that is a large part of why the wrongness of his former view was not obvious to him in the way it is to many others

I've never really used my Echo much, but they just went on sale, and I bought a bunch of them to wire up my place to play spotify across different rooms.

I'm amazed at how buggy it is, with spotify not playing regularly, etc.

I'm hoping there is a replacement that I can flash onto an echo speaker. I'd love something that just does the basics. I don't order things from Amazon or doing anything other than media with the speaker.
What prevents these from simulating a non-"home" network?
Ah I think I see it now, yes given X and Y with uniform distribution then the distribution of X is uniform given Y and X < Y, but the distribution of min(X,Y) is not uniform given max(X,Y).
Yep, this is why you're supposed to get them every year - it's extremely rare for a new strain of influenza to appear (we're talking like 3-5 in the past century IIRC), but rather than attempt to have everyone keep track of which ones they've gotten the shot for, it's easier to just tell everyone to get the current one.

Because of this scattershot approach it's also not clear how long it actually lasts.

This is also one of the main reasons mRNA is supposed to be such a huge boon to vaccinations: one of the major reasons so few are targeted each year is manufacturing costs.
Yes it is. Back when my country wasn't supported I had to use a proxy to access it.
I assert that "commitment to ethics" is an empty statement without a specific set of ethics guidelines. I also assert ethics are always a "social survival strategy" and that isn't meant to besmirch the value of ethics.
The assumption that a child can't give consent is based on their lack of understanding of what exactly they're consenting to, same as a drunk person can't give consent for the same reason. So yes, a 16yo seeking out a 12yo to have sex with would be wrong. Or an 18yo with a 14yo. They are not peers.
When flu infects a cell, the cell starts to make the virus subcomponents, and it then starts to build complete infectious virions. Usually the cell ruptures and all the complete virions start to look for their attachment part on the cell. With Covid 19 = the spike. With flu it is sialic acid = endocytosis = merges with and through the cell membrane.
There are a number of subcomponents in a virus. When the cell bursts open, the cell can not longer continue making virions = all the parts of the cell spill out and the body deals with them as foreign = immune system absorbs them and also the adaptive immune system makes antibodies and memory cells learn all of them as separate antigenic particles for which it makes antigens. These parallel antigens give a broad and deep immune response - this happens with COVID or FLU = why the immunity of a true infection is stronger and longer lasting than a spike response. Measles is large, when the cell breaks it spills out a huge pack of fragments of many types = very long lasting immunity. Measles vaccine 14-20 year, which, so when the orthodox jewish groups had deaths among children who attended measles parties, they also had illness among older Jewish people who were vaccinated a long time ago. Later Jewish people do not take vaccines for religious reasons. An older cadre of Jewish people who had infections in youth did not get infected as their immunity was almost life long.

Although I'll concede that I'm now wondering what's preventing compromised hardware from faking this part too. A complex malware could even receive firmware updates, dump them in an unused partition, and report to the connected host that it promises that it's definitely running that firmware, right? Hmmm.

We work with both startups and enterprises across a range of task types!

Some common ones are fraud and churn detection for financial institutions or e-commerce sites (both tabular classification examples). It's very important for these types of tasks in particular to guard against biases and false negatives, so they use us to set up wide test nets that help give them assurance that their models are working properly before they hit production (and to monitor them post-deployment).

Another example is Zuma (https://www.getzuma.com), a startup building an AI-driven chatbot that uses us to track their experiments and improve the accuracy of their NLP intent classification model.

Of course, we're also building out support for evaluating LLMs. Because this is an open problem, we've been spending a lot of time interviewing people in the space who are building these models (please reach out if this is you!).
Meh it's rare, but the IRS does occasionally pay people interest. Usually it's of the "we were reviewing taxes and you overpaid by X amount so here is (1.03)^(years)×x." Still nonzero. Happened to me. https://www.irs.gov/payments/interest#pay

Most of your argumentation fits arthritis equally. Are you so philosophical about arthritis?

I would describe your main point as advocating the social model of disability and completely rejecting the medical model. The social model is a powerful idea. Certainly applying it more would benefit disabled individuals. It is incomplete alone however. And many researchers and practitioners understand the social model better than you seem to think. Ask people who tried for work accommodations if they had problems with their doctor or manager. Ask people with ADHD how it's affected their relationships.
The effects of the stuxnet virus is highly overrated. Within a few months they were replaced with a new generation of centrifuges.
The appearance of a clinical trial is critically important.

Just make sure it doesn't test any important endpoint. Not mortality, not severe morbidity, not infectivity, and so on.

Also, make sure to break blinding early, so that long term side effects cannot be deduced from the trial.

In cargo cult science appearance is very important.

I've found that the things I procrastinate most are things that have high "activation energy", for lack of a better term. Getting off my computer, getting to my car, and driving to the gym takes a lot of up front willpower, even if I find the actual working out enjoyable (or at least tolerable). The approach that I take to resembling a functional adult is to make small adjustments to my routine that significantly cut down on that activation energy. To use the gym example, I started showering at the gym. Every day, after work I go to the gym to shower. Some days I don't have the energy or time to work out, but I always show up, grab my gym bag from my car, go to the locker room, and shower.

That way, it's not a question of "do I have the energy today to go to the gym and workout?", it's just "do I have the energy today to workout while I'm at the gym anyway?", which is a much lower bar.
