Your packed union eliminates pure padding, yes, but it still costs 9 bytes to store a u8 value and misaligns accesses for wider elements. These are both significant misses on "solving the problem." You also need to copy each element on access, which could be expensive for larger plain-old-data types, or especially for non-POD types.
Ryan,

We sincerely apologize for this issue and the impact on your business. The team is working diligently to reach out to each impacted customer to help resolve the issue and process the refund.

Submitting a support ticket with a screen shot of the debited amount from your bank statement (suppress/hide any account information) is likely the quickest way to resolve outside of rejecting the transition, which you noted was not possible. Our team is actively working those tickets and will confirm via email once received and reviewed. You may submit a support ticket here: https://support.fattmerchant.com/kb-tickets/new

Thank you again for your patience as we work to remediate this issue.

Sincerely, the Stax Team

Last time this came up, the primary answer was that the facility they're hosted in doesn't support IPv6.

There's lots of reasons why it's a good idea to host services on v6 and v4, but most of them aren't terribly important for a text only forum with limited audience when the facility doesn't support it.

That said, a quick look seems to indicate that v6 is an option at their facility now, so it might be more feasible now.

I just try to eat more veggies than meat these days. I'm not strictly vegetarian...I like a good hamburger every once in a while. But veggies are healthier than high-cholesterol meat anyway, so I just roast them up and heavily season them. Maybe have a little fish or chicken on the side.

This debate comes up again and again, but basically, that's a false dichotomy. The bombs could and should have been used in many other ways, not only as a surprise attack on a civilian population center, which left so few surviving witnesses that the Japanese leadership had little idea what even happened. If the goal is to force a surrender as quickly as possible, you send plenty of advance notice, invite official witnesses, say "observe, we're about to demonstrate how a single airplane can blow up an unpopulated island of your choice; consider the terms of your surrender in the meantime. If we don't hear back from you, the next one strikes a city of our choice." Or something to that extent.

Of course, those kinds of decisions are way above the pay-grade of a bomber crew. So again, I certainly don't fault them. But it also feels kind of weird to treat them like celebrities.

It was an interesting time. I forget the person's name, but I talked briefly with the guy who implemented the crc32 and encryption algorithms for ZIP, and he (almost apologetically) said the encryption was designed to be exportable under those laws.

Its up to the state then to ensure they create an environment that attracts these recently graduated students!

Listen to what these post graduate students want - for those who are moving a city like NYC or Boston they are probably enjoying not having urban sprawl, fun downtown areas, available housing, easy and accessible public transportation, etc.
You're missing the point.

Being enfranchised in driving the state is only important if the state has a significant impact in your life.

The lower the impact (read, the power) of the state, the lower the need to be enfranchised.

For your example: If the state didn't have law enforcing powers, the states policy on crime wouldn't matter much. You could just hire your own private police to protect your interests.

Yeah, I don't think it's right to say Zig doesn't have use-after-free and double-free safety. If you want that, you can just use a general purpose allocator. Note that you can't forget to choose an allocator since they are explicit.

Is this somehow harder than, say, choosing not to use "unsafe" in Rust?

Maybe all that is missing is a linter to help enforce whatever memory-management policy you've decided on. That's not really needed for small, coherent teams, but would be important for using Zig in larger projects with multiple teams and/or disparate individual contributors. (Perhaps such a thing exists and I just don't know about it.)

You might also be able to use an arena allocator where free is a no-op. That has different tradeoffs, but is also safe for use-after-free and double-free.

As you say, stack escape is the main thing where Zig doesn't have a good memory-safety story yet (at least not that I've heard). I guess there are a few others that concern me when I see them on a list, though I haven't hit them in real life.
What's even the advantage of putting a lot of nodes in a single place? I bet if you add all of Amazon's computing capacity it's going to be much more than what a single localized supercomputer can do.
This is slightly inaccurate.

The "little seafaring the Chinese did" in illegal trade was actually a huge business, and these "pirates" ended up merging with the remnants of the last Ming court, and eventually drove away the Dutch forces settled in Formosa (aka Taiwan). See eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Fort_Zeelandia

Even during the Qing dynasty, "pirate" forces in the China coastal seas were huge, often commanding forces up to tens of thousands of men, and hundreds of war ships. The Chinese government in Beijing of course did not do much though, and basically repeatedly and actively sabotaged the sea trade in order to suppress the "pirates". (see eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zheng_Yi_Sao )

If the Chinese governments at the time did not see these "pirates" as an adversary but instead figured out profit sharing schemes like the European powers did with the "East India Companies", it's hard to say whether the Europeans would have dominated the Far East trade so easily.
> parsing encoded files tends to introduce vulnerabilities

If we are talking about binary formats, now there are systematic solutions like https://github.com/google/wuffs that protect against vulnerabilities. But SQLite is not just a format - it's an evolving ecosystem with constantly added features. And the most prominent issue was not even in core, it was in FTS3. What will SQLite add next? More json-related functions? Maybe BSON? It is useful, but does not help in this situation.

Regarding traces, there are many forensics tools and even books about forensic analysis of SQLite databases. In well-designed format such tools should not exist in the first place. This is hard requirement: if it requires rewriting the whole file - then so be it.
Would be kind of surprising if that weren't the case.

In 1965 I. J. Good predicted an ultraintelligent machine by 2000, Vinge (1993) predicted greater-than-human intelligence between 2005 and 2030, Yudkowsky (1996) predicted a singularity by 2021, and Kurzweil (2005) predicted human-level artificial intelligence by 2030. Moravec (1988) predicted human-level artificial intelligence in supercomputers by 2010 by extrapolating past trend using a chart, while Moravec (1998/1999) predicted human-level artificial intelligence by 2040, and intelligence far beyond human by 2050. In a 2017 interview, Kurzweil predicted human-level intelligence by 2029 and billion fold intelligence and singularity by 2045

Who do you think lied among them?
I've thought about this a lot. My personal theory is that when young leave their home communities to seek opportunity elsewhere, that experience changes them. Afterward, to the extent they return, they rejuvenate their community. To the extent they don't, the community stagnates. The reality in the US is mostly the latter. This also created a self-perpetuating cycle, since who wants to go back to their stagnant little corner of the world after getting a taste of cosmopolitan life?

So all that said, I imagine a hugely beneficial policy would be one where young people who leave for college would get assistance paying off student debt if and to the extent they return to their community afterward.
Years ago, we showed the world it was possible to automatically detect label errors in classification datasets via machine learning. Since that moment, folks have asked whether the same is possible for regression datasets?

Figuring out this question required extensive research since properly accounting for uncertainty (critical to decide when to trust machine learning predictions over the data itself) poses unique challenges in the regression setting.

Today we have published a new paper introducing an effective method for “Detecting Errors in Numerical Data via any Regression Model”. Our method can find likely incorrect values in any numerical column of a dataset by utilizing a regression model trained to predict this column based on the other data features.

We’ve added our new algorithm to our open-source cleanlab library for you to algorithmically audit your own datasets for errors. Use this code for applications like detecting: data entry errors, sensor noise, incorrect invoices/prices in your company’s / client’s records, mis-estimated counts (eg. of cells in biological experiments).

Extensive benchmarks reveal cleanlab’s algorithm detects erroneous values in real numeric datasets better than alternative methods like RANSAC and conformal inference.

If you'd like to learn more, you can also check out the research paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.16583), code (https://github.com/cleanlab/cleanlab), and the tutorial to run this on your data (https://docs.cleanlab.ai/stable/tutorials/regression.html)
> WRT to Ukraine, it's a mistake to think that competence at EW and incompetence at land warfare balance each other out when the fight is primarily land warfare. And you need to be better at the land warfare to win.

That's not what I said or meant.

What I'm saying is: it's stupid to design something for an adversarial situation like war, under the assumption that your adversary will be incompetent and unskilled. You seemed to be inferring that US adversaries would be incompetent at EW, because Russia's competence at land warfare has been far less than was previously assumed, and I don't think that follows at all.

> Also, the B21 is reported to be designed for remote control. And that's the sort of thing you put the really big weapons on. I understand the idea behind reducing attack surface.

If a military jet will not regularly remotely operated, it makes total sense to not implement remote operation features at all. Adding the feature introduces unneeded risk, as well as development cost and weight.

And (IMHO) if you do add a remote operation feature (because you think you'll use it), it should be locked behind a physical shutoff, so it cannot be adversarially-activated when it's not wanted. That would mean it would likely be of little use in a case like this.

> But the JSF is a hub of interconnected technology it's not unreasonable to think they don't have a software package for all sorts of remote options.

I don't see how it as all reasonable to think they've developed such a feature without any kind of evidence. The only hits I get trying to find information were for scale-model RC planes, stuff about F-35 pilots controlling drones, and this speculative article from a likely non-reputable website (https://bulgarianmilitary.com/2023/09/16/american-stealth-f-...) which outlines extensive modifications required and ultimately concludes such a thing would be a bad idea.
They should be ashamed to make this request. How much money do we give them every year for “defense”? This is embarrassing. Fire everyone in this chain of command, all the way to the top. Oh, wait, Tuberville won’t let the Senate confirm any general officers. What a laughing stock we have become.

I don't think you are radical enough.

I want to own my data and allow companies to collect and lease it in exchange for money, goods, or services. I want to be able to sue anyone who uses this data without explicit permission with option for punitive damages.

I want mechanisms to control my data and I don't see that happening without signed contracts.

I want to control what data is collected and how it can be used. I want this in writing in clear language in terms that cannot be changed until the contract termination date, some other specified period (with option to terminate), or with my signed consent. I also want the option to object to the sale of data to particular buyers. And I want the option to have the data deleted when my contract is terminated or when the company is sold.

I think the current hodge-podge of laws surrounding this don't come close to this kind of control and to the degree that they do, they're mostly a lot of work for the consumer; more opt-out than opt-in. Companies rely on people mostly not really knowing what they're doing with data and changing their privacy policies on a whim because how many people really read all these changes or leave? I'm not sure I've really seen any mass migration on privacy policies (although I have seen that on 'we own all your stuff forever' type TOS changes).

This tells me you missed the argument i was making.

The point isn't a specific urban-rural or Dem-Rep, it's the underlying concept of not having agency over what rules you.

The more powers you grant the state, the less powers you have, and the greater these issue become and the more important acquiring political power becomes.

And economics. Expensive food (protein) has lower margins. Cheap food is profitable. The high margin pasta dishes and alcohol keep restaurants alive (steak houses famously have almost 0 margin on steak), and it's the same for the entire food industry.

The USDA represents American agricultural industry - not consumers. Eight servings of carbs a day on the food pyramid was essentially a license to Americans to buy as much carbs as they wanted.
The money is in growing saplings of white-pine, the ones commercial re-planters will buy - because they grow fast and can be turned into toilet paper in 25(?) years. Growing saplings of local 'slow' growing, non-harvestable species doesn't make you $$$.

"In essence, forest nurseries tended to maintain a limited inventory of a select few species, electing to prioritize those valued for commercial timber production over species required for conservation, ecological restoration, or climate adaptation."

"Yet, in their 20-state survey, the team only found two tree nurseries that had inventory of red spruce, a species from which many millions of seedlings are needed to meet restoration goals. “Remarkably, only 800 red spruce seedlings were commercially available for purchase in 2022,” the team reports in their new Bioscience study, “—enough to reforest less than one hectare.”

I'd recommend creating an IRR route object for your prefix and ASN on AltDB (or finding a sponsor to do so on your behalf).

The Catholic position would be that that isn't what the Mass is for; it's a ritual sacrifice that meets a real spiritual need. Similarly, the priest doesn't need to be especially likeable or even give a homily in order to say a valid Mass.
