> In Ruby this wouldn't affect idiomatic looping methods like #each, but would seem likely to affect the less-idiomatic for loop, which is built on #each but has the control variable in the surrounding scope. (Not 100% certain how it desugars though.)

I don't know how it desugars, but it is indeed affected when using `for...in`
(am not rich, just giving thoughts on why i disagree with the premise of the question) incremental build is a static site concern and i think its pretty clear the industry has more or less given up on that as a scaling strategy for websites in favor of serverless/edge rendering (which you can blend with static generation to get almost the same thing as incremental builds)
DemoGPT: Transform a static idea into a dynamic product (Open Source Agent)
As DemoGPT team, we transform a static idea into a dynamic product. Our ultimate goal is to democratize software development and make application development simple, efficient, and accessible.
The study didn't use special characters and also used the same laptop keyboard, which I would imagine significantly inflates the percentage compared to a real world situation for this to be effective.
It probably would be possible to add a new instruction that causes the processor to flush all state in exchange for sacrificing task switching speed. Of course it might still have bugs, but you could imagine that it would be easier to get right.

Of course, it’s not doing much for the billions of devices that exist.

I would hope that we could find a software solution that web browsers can implement so that devices can be patched.

Either way, I would want such a solution to not compromise performance in the case where code is running in the same security context.

This is what I don’t like about existing mitigations. It’s making computers slower in many contexts where they don’t need to be.
Please, please, please stop listening to random engineers who aren't marketing people provide advice about marketing.

That being said...the parent comment does make a valid point about this potentially being a dark pattern. I think a reasonable disclosure (small txt on bottom "free trial for 14 days" or something like that) is probably a reasonable way to inform users.
For example? Especially when taking price into account.
I imagine it’s for both reasons A and B, and we will keep doing it for as long as we can presume Mars to be pristine. If we get to the point of having millions of human colonists roaming the landscape, it will probably no longer be worth sending highly clean spacecraft.
I have to wonder how competitive these banks are. Without being able to invest in anything other than government bonds, they lose out on a lot of money that bigger banks get.
No, we have a problem with the news selling those fictional things as real. Turn off CNN or OAN wherever you get your firehose of algorithmically generated nonsense from and they magically go away.

It’s a poetry reference:

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

Current analysis projects US semi to face shortage of ~80k talent in next few years, ~300k+ in by decades end. This is reality pretty much in every semi producer countries, SKR and TW both have 50k-100k+ shortage with pretty developed talent pipeline. From everything I've read, current US+co short/medium term talent production won't be enough fill all the new fabs being proposed. Unviable due to operating costs which can always be subsidized, unviable due to lack of talent is much harder to address. Apart from training more, only way to plug gap is to poach talent from CHIP4 partners, which US has the money for. But I surmise it will get geopolitically ugly.

For reference PRC after elevating semi to first-level dicipline in 2018 is pumping out about 30k IC graduates per year. They're still about 200k short, ~520k/720k out of what IC talent 2018 white paper estimated PRC needed for complete semi industry. This is PRC that graduates ~5M STEM with huge population to draw from that bias towards S&T in tertiary. Which leads to the other uncomfortable point that a complete semi industry is more than just fabs, there's a lot of critical semi supply chain stuck in TW / East Asia (SKR/JP) that's going to get disrupted anyway in event of conflict. I don't see any indication US is resolving to reshore the entire semi chain.

You're being a little dramatic. It's incredibly unlikely that millions of innocent users have been blocked, and unless you have data to the contrary you shouldn't make such a claim.

You know what else is harmful to the concept of the open internet? The enormous malicious botnets and other endemic problems that require a solution like CloudFlare.
Vulnerabilities are like unreliable cars. It doesn't matter so much if they can be fixed, it's the very, very high opportunity cost of needing to be fixed, when you were busy doing something else of high value.

And information leak exploits are less likely to be detected than arbitrary code execution. If somebody is exploiting a buffer overflow, they need to get it exactly right, or they'll probably crash the process, which can be logged and noticed. The only sign of somebody attempting Downfall or similar attacks is increased CPU use, which has many benign causes.
I wish chips would come with a core devoted to running this kind of untrusted code; maybe they could take something like an old bonnell atom core, strip out the hyper threading, and run JavaScript on that.

If a script can’t run happily on a core like that, it should really be a program anyway, and I don’t want to run it.
Let me tell you about family members that have a mac because "they don't want the hassle of a windows laptop". They also don't want the hassle of not having uPnP, that setting is going to be turned on whether you know better or not.

I agree that Rust makes it easier to program... But I'm not sure "you just have to force yourself to use it" is the best advert for Rust!

It's likely that they just haven't got to the point in their programming where they understand the need for the things Rust solves. Like if you only ever write 100 line Python scripts you probably haven't run into the performance issues or difficulties that come with working on large dynamically typed codebases.
It is a mark of compassion to feel pity. Doing the right thing does not have to bring joy.

Despite all the drama that happens every second month, I'm still "Rust curious". Working with Rust is fun, and I hope it will be my main language in my next job.

You are not the first that noticed the overly political nature of the Rust "community", not a coincidence that we see a blue haired individual in this skit https://youtu.be/TGfQu0bQTKc

I didn't downvote you, but you might be downvoted not because you are wrong, but because it derails the conversation. Turning every Rust thread into a "The Foundation is too woke" can be annoying.
The problem is speed of information eroding our sense-making coupled with the dominant linguistic framework of economics which reduces communication to zero-sum competition.

To pine for any kind of quaint return is missing the point entirely. The only way through is forward and out.
Not necessarily hate...there's always the 1-2% of new hires that are highly impressive and gives us hope for the future. They tend not to last too long. The rest seems hell bent on never even cracking open documentation, and keep asking "where are the architecture videos?" (at least where I work).
You are absolutely correct but you are forgetting one thing. The entire system ratchets itself back to a zero money supply automatically as debts are repaid. This means the money supply shrinks overall if the interest rate is sufficiently high and the rate of repayment exceeds the rate of new loans being taken on. This is a very slow acting way of doing things and it can lead to debt deflation. If there was a way to avoid debt deflation, then total debt wouldn't have to rise permanently.

A few generations ago, rural people in my country still used cobwebs, brick dust, or kerosene, to treat small but deep wounds. Child mortality was significantly higher then, of course.
There has to be some stage in-between millions of human colonists and the current state though.

Also, why Mars specifically? Does this "must be pristine" policy also apply to other plants? Not to the moon at least, that's for sure.
I often wonder about the raw economic cost of saving homeless people from heat stroke like this. Even in our new england city, hot days will have an ambulance called several times for someone basically dying from exposure. Those ambulance calls and hospital visits take resources, cost money.

But nobody cares. Nobody gives a fuck that they live in a society where if you miss your rent payment, you can just go die on the street.

Meanwhile in an other thread, a user here asks if people think it is smart to remove all "incentives" to get rich. On a thread about increasing the (artificially low) tax on jet fuel for private planes.

Homelessness is a prioritization problem.
Putting boot signing and “OS integrity control” aside, current iteration of TPM devices are not this intrusive. They allow me to generate and/or store keys and do cryptographic things with these keys securely. They store my information locally, and if implemented right, this data can’t leave that chip.

Even OS integrity check is done locally. You can’t ask arbitrary measurements out of it.

WEI is different. Rules come from outside. Acceptable parameters are decided by another party. You have no pieces of the system in your possession. You are a Furby forced to tell something with the will of the attester through the filter tuned and configured elsewhere.

I can disable TPM or force it to reset itself if I want to. Even Apple’s security processors can be wiped clean of your data.

WEI is not like that.
I don't get how this would be seen within banks as any different to the existing endpoint security offerings offering remote attestation that - by the same logic - they would already be mandating customers to use to access banking platforms, because doing otherwise would mean not being "as secure as possible" and getting dinged by the regulators.
Agreed. Browsers are now nothing but an application platform of APIs (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API). For some reason they still retain the vestigial HTML, CSS and JS, but really all you need is bytecode that calls an ABI, and a widget toolkit that talks to a rendering API. Then we can finally ship apps to users without the shackles of how a browser wants to interpret and render some markup.

The idea of security "sandboxes" is quaint, but have been defeated pretty much since their inception. And the only reason we have "frontend developers" rather than just "developers" is HTML/CSS/JS/DOM/etc is a byzantine relic we refuse to let go of. Just let us deliver regular-old apps to users and control how they're displayed in regular programming languages. Let users can find any app in any online marketplace based on open standards.

There's not much prestige as a BSU alumni (and someone doing a masters part-time there), but I do distinctly remember chatting with materials graduate students and them mentioning that they chose BSU because of the ease of availability for equipment required for research and having Micron right there.

There's a few good things that the university offers which is surprisingly strong. When i went back to prepare for a CS masters (military, self-taught) I was surprised at the quality of the undergraduate degree in preparing students for industry, and how quickly the security program was invested in (INL does a lot of investment here).

All that to say: it's a pretty good school, especially for it's price. I only ever had one bad professor, and it was in the supply chain management department. And it was (is still?) the only raptor biology masters in the country.
Right. It feels silly to point out specific things when just about everything about these verification checks deployed by every megacorp throws you into a universe of suffering.

If there's a place to start, it would be with eliminating the infinite challenge loops. Bad enough that IP blocks get outright blocked. Bad enough that I have to decide whether or not that blurred sliver of the edge of the wheel+shadow constitutes being part of the bicycle. Not to mention the humanitarian betrayal of the absolute highest form to farm the free human labor to train AI models when they are simply trying to browse the $#@%ing internet.
Personal experience is great, though for large projects C++ is definitely more robust.

Really like how go handles parallelism and creating threads.
It's interesting to me that many threads here seem to imply that lower news consumption by Americans is bad and that the fault lies with the news industry.

Ignoring whether it's bad or not, if Americans want mostly unbiased news, they have easy access to it on the web:

https://www.reuters.com/

https://apnews.com/

Americans choose other sources for news... they're not forced to consume it. The "blame" lies with the people.

Edit: Notice above that I wrote "mostly unbiased" not "totally unbiased." If you want to order all news sources by least bias, AP and Reuters are usually toward the top [0][1].

You'll notice a different burden in each case, since the claim differs. My claim is that confirmation-bias replies to this paper are (at best) poorly founded.

More broadly, the hypothesis that an LLM reasons is not confirmed by an infinite number of correct replies to prompts. It is immediately refuted by a systematic failure across types of reasoning (NOT q/a instances).

What is my burden? As far as I can tell, only to provide what I have.

This is a common use for residential proxies. Ticket touts buy use of the infected users to make requests to try beat restrictions on access from data-centre hosts or high-volume access from and other hosts, to increase their charge of getting valuable tickets for later resale.

A number of backdoored (by the creator, by someone cracking into their source repositories, or in this case by buy-out) free browser extensions, VPN apps, and such, turn the user's machines into a proxy like this.

Well, Chromium is quite popular with the security conscious on Linux. At least it was when I was using ArchLinux, they had some good custom build script versions.

Great piece.
I lost track of ES scoping rules but apparently `for (var i ...) { ... }` doesn't capture (legacy behavior) while `for (let i ...) { ... }` will.
No. And there’s still the central issue of the author really hand-waving the specifics of their accusations about Chrome. It really seems to come down to “Google bad”.

To be clear, I don’t even use Chrome, in part because “Google bad”. This just isn’t intellectually honest.

Of course; but if you only get practical experience with no theoretical explanations, you're almost sure to develop a mental model that's going to cause you troubles later on.
> Launch a spacecraft to Mars full of organic material. Add the toughest possible bacteria (the kind that manages to survive in volcanoes for thousands of years), vegetable growing experiments, etc...

> Then see what sticks. Maybe it's nothing. But in the small chance something sticks, then humanity might have done the most useful thing ever, even in case humanity would go extinct: seed life on another planet.

How would it be useful (in the sense I think you mean it to be)? Mars is pretty dead, and seems likely to stay that way forever (e.g. cold, dry). Any seeding, if successful, isn't going to result in some Star Trek-like scenario that results in intelligent life arising in a billion years. The only result will be bacteria eking out an existing in a marginal habitat for a billion years.

> How long can we keep maintaining that? At some point we've gotta either send something that's good enough to inconclusively tell whether there already is life there (when are we expected to have the tech to achieve that?), or send something with life.

The only upside I see to sending a spacecraft like you propose is to irreversibly contaminate Mars with life to eliminate the scientific basis for avoiding colonization and exploitation of it.
To paraphrase what you're saying: an AI can't reason, because it is built to stochastically predicts tokens, which is not reasoning and which is different from the activity of reasoning.

Which I agree with.

But also, by observation, it can (at least some of the time) emit token sequences that emulate reasoning (at least on some simple tasks.)

So perhaps it can reason in the same way a submarine can swim.
No,even though the 10 pikachu fans assess independently, their estimations will be correlated. As you may already know the overall estimate wont be 100%, rather about 65%. The formula when the assessors are known to be independent, is simpler and has already been indicated by another commenter, P(A1 or A2 or A3 or ..An) = 1 - P(not A1)P(not A2)..P(not An)

On the other hand, if those 10 were engaged in complete groupthink (so no additional information beyond the first guy), the overall estimate would remain 10%.

In general, the answer would lie between 0.1 and ~0.65 depending on how their estimates influence each other.

Great technology, unfortunately not yet fully supported by all the major browsers. PWA could replace many mobile applications we currently have to download and install from a store.
For all these issues, states like Texas are going to be vastly more practical than doing any real projects in places like California. Look at California's record on railway, housing, etc. SF spends $1B/mile on railway (see Central subway), or $1M on a public toilet. If anything, moving more industries to states like Texas or Georgia is a great way to improve the overall dynamics of the state. This already happened to a great degree with film/tv studios moving to Atlanta.
Nothing, most JS challenges simply rely on the headless browser not executing the JS or that the delay & computational cost would be enough to render most bot attacks ineffective.
