> What if a non-engineer who doesn’t understand the dangers makes this type of modification?

This hasn’t happened afaik in the last 15 years. I assume any non-engineer who doesn’t know the dangers also doesn’t have the technical know how to build this. Also the cost is several hundred thousand $.

History seems to indicate it’s a non-issue.
Two points:

(1) There are points of the universe that are currently unobservable, because their light hasn't hit us yes, but that will become observable in five minutes. I posit that they are already in the realm of science now, and not just in five minutes.

(2) Please read the article. The author directly addresses this point:

Show HN: Supervision, reusable computer vision utilities
supervision is a Python package with tools for building computer vision applications. With supervision, you can:

- Load and filter predictions from a range of state of the art models into a standard API (i.e. YOLOv8, SAM).
- Annotate images and videos with bounding boxes, segmentation masks, and more.
- Calculate confusion matrices.
- Use ByteTrack to track objects.
- Use SAHI to process small object detection.
- Process video frames.
- And more.

Our goal with supervision is to provide model-agnostic tools with a concise syntax that you can use to build logic on top of computer vision models. With supervision, you don't need to write your own bounding box drawing logic, mAP calculator, predictions filtering lgoic, and more. You can use the same API across projects and models.

We are "eating what we cook" while building supervision per se: our team uses supervision every day to solve vision problems and provides feedback to help refine the package.

Try it out and share what you think!

iOS and while I don’t go round decompiling packages all that often, from what I’ve seen most companies write a custom UI online and use iOSs additional web features to mimic a native experience. To the end user it doesn’t look any different, but to the developers it is quicker to build and easier to update (ie every UI tweak doesn’t require going through Apples approval process).

This obviously doesn’t apply to games. But even there, there’s a surprising amount you can do with HTML5 et al on iOS if you wanted.

When you also factor in Electron on the desktop, a surprise number of “native” applications these days are really just websites in a container.

Matter in neutron stars is compressed together by the enormous gravity. Once set free on your floor, this material would no longer be held together and will start expanding at close to the speed of light. The resulting explosion will probably obliterate the entire continent. A crude way to estimate it is to take into account the fact that the gravitational binding energy of matter at the surface of a neutron star is about 10% of the rest mass energy of the material, so once that material is removed it will liberate as much energy (If I got the numbers right, you get an explosion energy of 0.1 m c^2 ~ 10^13 megatons).

I guess it's all of matter of circumstance: as an anesthesiology resident/attending/private practitioner from 1977-2015, I normally wore a mask in the OR all day and sometimes all night.

It never occurred to me that this was uncomfortable — it was like a fish in water: this is the life I had chosen.

Not sure. You can cycle through all integers an infinite number of times each, if you have infinite amount of time.

An example in Python:

import itertools
for limit in itertools.count():
for i in range(limit):
print(i)

Agree 100% about the future. From a historical perspective, programming is something completely new that will have more evolution beyond programming languages, frameworks and operating systems.

Now in the world we have zillions of software engineers doing the same thing redundantly. In a way the software development industry protects itself not creating the tools to reduce the industry itself. This is a typical innovation dilemma for a whole industry. Not saying that this is conscious but there is a big focus on pleasuring ourselves with new things that continue a well known road of fancy programming languages, etc.

People who are in to torrenting enough to consider self hosting a bitttorrent indexer largely dont use desktop BT clients. They chain different software together on a home media server or seedbox such that the whole concept of torrents, seeds, trackers, etc is unseen plumbing and instead you have interfaces focused on the content. Descriptions, trailers, actor lists, etc. You subscribe to a tv show for example and then episodes are just automatically downloaded as they air according to your preset quality criteria, then they appear in your own personal netflix style app.
Reverse of this - I still have a MacBookPro 2011 with a dedicated GPU that suffered from brittle lead free solder issue, where I had to wrap the laptop up in a blanket for 30 mins to over heat it, soften the solder around the GPU to allow it to boot into OSX…. Then once there I could then switch to iGPU and use the Amphetamine app the keep it awake/never sleep.

If I needed to shut down I’d need to repeat this overheating process again.

Laptop still works to this day though I had a guy in the UK install a new dGPU with leaded solder.
I cannot understand your concerns about hotel rooms and food tbh. There's a hotel and a shopping center neighboring the venue. Also going to the city center is just 2 stops by train away (or by tram, but it's a longer ride).
The memcpy() from the "specific" slice to the "generic" slice in grow() is technically UB I think. Those slice structures are not the same types.

Furthermore, a void pointer can be implemented "differently" than a typed pointer. The size of pointers can (theoretically) be different for different types. Any typed pointer roundtrips safely to a void pointer and back, but the inverse doesn't necessarily hold.

Then again, not sure which implementations might make problems here. For example, keeping a typed version of a void pointer returned by malloc() and using it to free() later is common practice.
I feel like there’s more of a demand for Starlink sucking than Starlink actually sucking. There seem to be constant articles about it crashing and burning, not actually working, being a huge failure, yet my parents (rural Australia) have been using it for a couple of years and haven’t found fault in it yet. It’s at least 10x the speeds of Sky Muster, which was the next best thing, and while Sky Muster was capped at something like 60GB when they got it Starlink is unlimited. It was an insane improvement when they switched over.
There have been quite a few laureates who were awarded the prize for their activism against apartheid, some of whom also spent time in prison due to their revolutionary tendencies. Would you consider these prizes equally unjustified?
Linux is an interesting example. There's no need to make your own Linux, because no sanctions etc can keep you from using Linux.

That's also part of why eg the US hasn't needed to make their own Linux. There's no risk that your Linux supply chain will be cut off in case of a war.
Great ChatGPT-SEO-spam article.
I feel the Nobel prize was less for fighting for women's rights, and more for fighting against an anti-American, anti-Western government. For some reason, I don't see the award ever going to a rights activist fighting against the Saudi, Pakistani, or any other American-allied regimes. I of course don't ever see it going to someone fighting against the American regime itself, and its mass surveillance and war crimes, such as Edward Snowden or Julian Assange, or Chelsea Manning.
You could at least make the case that Obama promoted -- indeed, in a sense, embodied -- "fraternity between nations," for he was incredibly popular with most of America's allies. (See, e.g., his "rock star" reception in Germany.) Even its enemies were at worst ambivalent towards him personally, and at best they were hopeful that he'd bring about positive change. In this sense, he, at minimum, shored up the self-image of the Western world.

So I thought it was weird, sure, but I could somehow rationalize it.

But this year's prize will apparently do nothing but increase enmity and discord, which strikes me as odd and counter to the prize's intended purpose. The Iranian regime isn't going to look at this prize and see the light; it's going to react indignantly and perhaps violently.

Hey founders!

It's Calin, designer with over a decade of experience and founder of Contrast Studio.

I wrote this article to help you get better at talking to users. It's a core skill you need to develop to be successfull and which you shouldn't be quick to outsource.

Interviewing users is both a science and an art and it takes time to get good at it. However, I believe you can get 80% of the insights you need to get started with 20% of the skill of a professional interviewer.

Ohh good spot. I tested one theses tools a few years ago - I tried to get its opinion on religion and if a god exists. I noticed it couldn’t form its own opinion on the matter it just tried to agree with what you thought. It would constantly try to please me with what I think it wanted to say. So it doesn’t surprise me that it responded that killing the Queen was a swell idea

IIRC, the precise frequency was further narrowed to _not_ be absorbed as well by water, because then all the energy would hit the surface of your food and not the inside (although I'm still not sure if that is relevant at a wavelength that is almost as large as the food you'd want to heat).

And then, again IIRC, finally pinned down slightly to the side of that because of the parts that could be sourced to build the first ovens.

The Nobel Peace Prize has historically been surrounded by the kind of ambivalent feelings you allude to.

To name one: Hume & Trimble (1998) was considered ironic because it was viewed as kind of reward for ceasing violence they initially caused. Similar remarks were made in 1993 about Mandela and De Klerk. It can even be argued that Gorbachev and Carter had blood on their hands before becoming saints.

Maybe this kind of ambiguity is simply rooted in the fact that the monetary price is paid by the deeply ironic invention of dynamite by Alfred Nobel.

' Guess "contribution to peace" is less about ethics and more of a political concept.
It was plain intimidation by the founder and further doubling down on it made it pretty clear where they stand ethically.

Whether someone wants to let the behaviour of a company's founder color their judgement of the company is upto them. But painting the whole thing as "one badly handled issue" undermines is.

We had a problem with a robot overheating here in denmark and we had a fridge in the office. We tried to make a copper heatsink but it was still struggling, and so to keep it working so we could develop on other issues, we had a cycle of putting leverpostej from the fridge on it for 30 minutes before replacing it with another. It had the bonus of heating the leverpostej for a nice lunch lol.
- "as long as there is no images to take out of context and slap some cheap click bait on"

We're talking about the relationship between a government actor and members of the public criticizing it. If that criticism is unfair, out of context, or completely wrong, well, that's too bad: but a government actor has no power to tell the public "no, you are not allowed to criticize us in that manner; criticize us accurately, or not at all".

I took a 13,000 line Rails 7.0 app and updated it to 7.1. I had to change 1 line of test configuration code to make everything work beyond the diff between 7.0 and 7.1[0].

I would say that's a success for having an easy upgrade path. Now the fun part is going back to refactor some of the code to use the new features in 7.1.

If anyone is curious, I updated my Rails / Docker example app to use 7.1 too https://github.com/nickjj/docker-rails-example. Even though Rails 7.1 comes with a Dockerfile, there's still a lot of opinions you can add such as using Docker Compose to have a fully working out of the box experience that works in development and production -- complete with Postgres, Redis, Action Cable, Sidekiq and more.

Think how the compiler would compile it. The compiler must assume pthread_mutex_lock (as any opaque non-otherwise decorated functions) clobbers memory. So if the address of 'i' escapes the containing function, then the compiler must make sure it is correctly written to memory before the call. If it doesn't escape, the compiler can potentially leave it in a (callee-save) register and there still wouldn't be any multithreading issues.

longjump is special: it can return twice and the effect is observable even for non-escaping variables: so values that must be preserved across function calls need to be forced to memory by declaring them volatile.

GCC specifically marks longjmp as returns_twice, which as far as I can tell prevents the surrounding function from being inlinable and additionally treats all local variables as volatile at the point of the longjmp call (forcing them to memory even if not escaping), but that's a GCC extension.
Not the same. A link on a site has implied authority because of the domain. For example a link on Microsoft.com vs some shady looking site. There is some point of reference at least to judge.
