> Disks have ECC, even consumer hard drives have checksummed blocks, that's how you get media errors detected. RAM does not. Well, technically with DDR5 it has internal one but it does not give any feedback to the machine so you might not know your RAM has any problems.

Sure, and disks have random errors even with error correction. Adding hamming codes just makes errors less likely and easier to detect, but they aren't fool proof, in ram or on disk or anywhere else. The protection offered is a bit questionable because they rely on the very sketchy assumption that errors are statistically independent events, which is rarely how storage errors work.

> But it will tell you the problem
> Very ignorant take

Hardware isn't perfect. No matter how much error correction you pile onto it, you will still have errors and some cases will still be undetectable. It's a matter of pushing the rate of errors into an acceptable range, as a pure cost-benefit tradeoff, statistics through and through.
The main problem is how do you authenticate the request as being legitimate? It's already possible to spoof headers and "FROM-IP" (in fact, major DDoS attacks use just this as a replay attack, spoof a DNS request as coming from 1.1.1.1 and get a much larger response sent TO 1.1.1.1 from wherever).
Amazon definitely cares if they lose 1% of sales.

Plus VC get the most insane tax break, ability to roll over some percent of their gains tax free into perpetuity until they withdraw, the withdrawal gets taxed. I understand that helps compensate for risk, but it also means they can swing at the fence with FTX and that microfluidics scam Elizabeth Holmes.

Very likely. I jumped from 3700x and the difference is staggering. My 6800xt came alive and stutters are a thing of the past.

I kind of want an OLED but they don't come cheap, vertical resolution is the same, and they are not amazing for coding. Maybe in time for a Zen 5 based 3d cache chip.
I had an MRI recently and I knew what to expect in terms of the enclosed space, however, all the various sounds the machine makes is a bit alarming. They are quite loud and vary quite a bit in terms of tone and type.
It's not the costs, it's that some ISPs like getting money from spammers and criminals, and carefully look the other way.

And the other ISPs like getting paid for DDoS mitigation, so they also look the other way. There's no money to be made fixing the underlying problem.
The message is a little confused--Microsoft never charged for code signing. You don't pay Microsoft. You have to get a code signing certificate from a third party CA; you choose your favorite. Microsoft themselves doesn't offer them.

This is different than notarization. Notarization is a process by which Apple centrally scans your binary and decides if it's ok, then stamps their approval on the binary if so. Code signing is a process by which you sign your own binary so that users (and, more importantly, Windows) know it's from you.

Microsoft doesn't do notarization, instead relying on the reputation of the certificate and their client-side malware scanner. The reputation from one executable you sign with the certificate carries over to other executables that you sign with the same certificate (e.g. newer versions of the same app). This impacts SmartScreen prompts. If you get an EV certificate you get the initial reputation for free and can skip SmartScreen prompts out of the gate.

source: have done it; my open source Windows app is signed with my Sectigo certificate
Not surprised about Rx. Rx is great at the UI layer imho, or anything with streams. For microservices, I don't see how it would have ever fit, since microservices should be as simple as possible doing just one thing.
The hard part of this is finding stories you want to read. Looks cool, but The one story i read was maybe 5 minutes. To make progress you need an hour or more per day. Well you can make progress on 5 minutes per day, but 500-1000 hours is what it takes to be useful and so 5 minutes a day just doesn't add up fast enough.

This was how I convinced someone (RIP) by really stressing every element in the definition of Bayes’ theorem and probability space.
MacBooks especially pros are in a very privileged position due to their memory architecture. With some dedicated hardware it may be reasonable to run, perhaps even train, useful LLMs on device.

I guess we’ll see in a year or two. This must be on everyone’s radar now, Apple won’t be the odd man out.
> We start raving about them, so other people take a look expecting…

If that’s what you want to call it.

I see hypemen overpromising and product underdelivering. And when pressed about specifics, attempts to drown queries in jargon or an ass-covering retreat to treating it like it’s just a tech demo not intended to be used for anything ever.
It could be possible that different movies could be popular with different groups. Say, imagine a hypothetical movie really popular with teenagers with Internet access but not enough money for tickets, compared with another movie that is really popular with rural people with no broadband but who visit town in the weekend for fun. We might see differences.

But yeah, for the real interesting questions we would need to get the data for movies that are not available by piracy but are available in theaters.
I'm mostly just an amateur myself, so I totally get where you're coming from.

FWIW, the graph at the top of that article (as mentioned in the comments) does not have vertical tangents. They're not true semicircles. Most of the answers given to make actual semicircles become non-continuous signals (y >= 0 if ... answer) or infinite sum. The one which doesn't just says they look like semicircles. I don't really have the time (or immediate knowledge, I'm admittedly bad at math) to dig all the math but my gut instinct suggests those aren't true semicircles and don't truly have vertical tangents.

And this is kind of how a signal generator can get away making square waves and sawtooths and what not; internally its not always truly "discrete" signals its just quickly flipping a switch from one thing to another. It flips from the high state to the low state fast enough that for your 50MHz oscope it looks pretty continuous, and its probably designed to try and draw a connected line.

This all kind of makes some sense when you get into how we actually make electrical signals. We're normally just modulating the electric "vibrations" of some crystal or accelerating some magnet through a loop back and fourth. These things move in continuous waves. As mentioned, things don't have infinite acceleration they take time to shift between states. So you're never going to get something that goes from high to low in zero time. And most home owners will tell you there's no such thing as a right angle.

I'd like to mention though, you're imaging the wave as being "broken up" into sine waves, which IMO isn't quite the right way to be looking at it. Its not "breaking up" the signal into sine waves, the signals were always sine waves. Remember my comment, truly square waves don't really exist. We can have things that kinda look square-ish when you squint your eyes, but they're not really square waves. A truly square wave in reality requires infinite acceleration or its not continuous. Fill a bathtub and try to make square waves. Its just not going to happen.

I know I'm not fully answering your question, I don't fully know the answer myself. So far in my stumbling around the closest thing I can answer is because that's just how nature and waves are, at least as much as our monkey brains can reason about them. Think about a string in a guitar or a wave in the water or throwing a ball. They all moves in ways which can be described by sine waves. Its just like the nature of how things accelerate and move, changing between states. Why do we see the golden ratio in so many places? Why are circles so special? Good luck on digging for more truth.
Okay but does that mean anything regarding the parent commentor's analogy or the article?

I built something like this for iOS/macOS, Manabi Reader, specifically for Japanese: https://reader.manabi.io It has collections of short stories and other RSS-based reading materials for different levels. The reading materials are all written by native speaker humans, not AI-generated. It's also a general purpose web browser and RSS reader.

Beyond Kindle capabilities, it also tracks the words, kanji, sentences you read to show you analytics based on that, chart your progress against JLPT levels simply by reading, and uses that data (all in your own iCloud/device storage) to coordinate flashcard review. I recently added early Anki integration. Still working hard on it, bringing more languages soon and cross-plat via SwiftWASM a bit later.
Hashicorp nomad comes to mind.
I think it’s a good bet based on watching inference speed of llama.cpp consistently improving and model ability / size on a similar trajectory. I expect there’s similar room for optimization (probably more) with hosted models. If you don’t care about code/model privacy (I do but it seems like most don’t yet at least) there are even more batching/caching tricks to engineer.

That's not a valid comparison, since there are various effective decentralized 2FA methods available – unlike for DDoS protection.

Can any one give a brief synopsis of the state of XUL and gecko in Firefox/Mozilla? Are the XUL (XULRunner) and gecko runtimes still actively worked on? Or has it been absorbed into the Firefox runtime long ago?

I recall reading some time ago that the work on XULRunner essentially came to a halt, and that components in Firefox/Mozilla that depend on XUL would slowly be phased out.

But does that mean that work on the XUL runtime and components in Firefox also effectively came to a halt? I figured that most of these really old XUL bugs in Firefox were never going to be fixed, instead replacing a whole layer/component dependent on XUL was seen as a better use of time and resources.

Edit: anyone have a good diagram of the layers/components in Firefox. Something that can illustrate where Quantum, Gecko, XUL, etc all live in Firefox. It would be really cool (doubt it exists) if there was an animated diagram that would show the changes of this stack overtime.
Mark my words, developers will soon pay $5k per month for access to GPT-7 Copilot.
I received that email as well. And immeadtily it stood out. Even though FastSpring doesn't have that much of "quality brand design" – but it was still out of place.

BUT – I emailed their support and receievd a reply from "support@fastspring.com" confirming that it is in fact a valid email and I must pay via fastspring link or else our account would be terminated. WTF????!?!?

I disagree. I have both but I use Copilot a lot more. Editing the results of ChatGPT takes as long as it would take for me to write the code myself. Whereas Copilot is autocomplete, you can choose whether to accept it or not line by line.
That corroborates what I've read.

The DEC PDP-11 assembler used the @ symbol for dereferences of registers ("@Rn" or "(Rn)" dereferenced a register, for example).

However, in Unix, the terminal convention was to use the @ symbol to delete the current line, and they didn't have a DEC assembler yet, so they used the asterisk (*) instead in B, as well as in the Unix PDP-11 assembler, which was written in B.

> S.E.O. hackers have ruined the trick of adding “Reddit” to searches to find human-generated answers.

Just add "site:reddit.com" to the end of your search query. Nothing SEOs (like me) can do about that, Google will only return results from reddit.com. I, personally, find it really funny when the top result is some spam coupon site with "[search query] reddit" as the page title. Google really should be smarter than that.
It didn't fly back then either, but it still happened. And if it was done for audio discs, which don't typically run executable code, I wouldn't be surprised to find it in games which ship executables.

Also, didn't zoom do something somewhat shady with admin permissions and self-updating? I'm not sure how you arrived at the conclusion that this couldn't happen today.

Compare NVIDIA to Groq TSP (Tensor Streaming Processor)

This is how an AI chip should be designed, you write the neural net compiler first, then design the chip. These guys have combined a number of smart ideas in their product: synchronous operation makes memory and network operations simpler to plan and optimise; all software defined memory access, no caches; a simple set of primitive operations that can express every model architecture - so they can simply make it pytorch compatible, no need to write kernels, no need to have 100 versions of 2D conv, for all sizes and shapes.

No offense but, how the hell could it be accurate?
There is certainly a lot of truth to this. The first time you see some basic plot twist, it seems profound. This applies to life philosophy too, the first time you here about nihilism, stoicism, Buddhism, etc, they all seem profound. Later, you begin to view them as part of a pattern you are already familiar with.

Later in life, it's far rarer to find a quote or concept that actually changes your life view at least a little bit.
For the higher layer attacks you have to have something like the "modified cryptominer in the browser" things that cloud flare and friends do now - those interstitial pages that pop up for a few seconds are doing mathematical hashing to burn processor time on your end - which greatly complicates the ability to DDoS.
Selectively enforced laws are the worst kind of law.
The graph shows the initiators nothing they don't already know.

What would be truly terrifying is if Google kept this a secret and let it sneak up on the world. I have zero faith in Google to do the right thing, and I have zero confidence in their impartiality, and zero confidence in them being the gatekeeper for internet standards. And that's WITH all these silly open self-congratulating blog posts.

Google needs people to trust them in order for them to try to be gatekeeper of best practices and web standards. They want nothing more than to absorb the W3C. That will never happen if they can't convince the "professionals" to parrot everything they say. And they can't get anyone to parrot unless they write these self-congratulatory blog posts. Likewise, they need all the open-source developers who basically wrote Google's codebase to fix their code for them, for free of course. They won't do that unless Google tells them what's broken.

Firebird will always have a special place in my heart. Such a wonderful database engine: small, fast and full-featured.

I've worked with it long time ago (up to v2.0 era) and loved it. After that, I worked for a company that used MySQL and hated every moment of it. Such a shame that a well developed tech is not a good enough reason for wider adoption.
Last movie I saw in theaters was The Revenant in 2015, and before that ... maybe the first Hobbit? Agreed that current movies suck, mostly Marvel crap and rehashes ... Local to me we have: Taylor swift movie, a new Saw movie, a new Exorcist movie, a new Paw Patrol movie. Lame.

>That's a problem with all LLMs. They will average what they are trained on, without any reflection what is good and what is not. They shouldn't be called intelligent (AI), they're information meatgrinders.

This is an issue with your prompting not the models.

If you tell someone "Do this thing" they'll just do it, LLM's too. And how it is done will probably be terrible.

If you ask someone "come up with 5 ways to accomplish this, compare and contrast between them, list pros and cons, think through best practices, maintainability, readability, security, performance and cost. Come to a final decision and then do it" their response will be different. So too will the LLM's. You can even have the LLM present its opinions and recommendation but pause and wait for your choice on the go-ahead.

100 questions would be a lot, yes, unless you had very large samples, which isn't unheard of in today's age.

I suspect it would work better to combine the items somehow.

Alternatively, you might be able to somehow use a subset of the 100 as a kind of anchor, to see how distorted a differently designed sample was, and possibly reweight things.

For example, if you were really serious, you might be able to identify, say, 5-10 items with a lot of variance in the population, and ask about them using list randomization, and also maybe directly to determine how people endorse the items differently if asked indirectly versus directly. Depending on what you did with that, you could then use those items as weighting variables for the other 90-95 items in another sample. In the very least you'd be able to compare the samples to see how different the distributions are on the anchor items.
Couldn't cloudflare show a page to the next handful of http requests from an IP informing the user that "something on your network is participating in DDoS attacks".

All the big providers could do this, just inject a little turnstile like page in front of the next cloudflare site you visit.

I would love to know if there's a compromised device on my network, and I don't have any real monitoring set up to detect it.

It's not a full solution, but at least informing users there is a problem is a good start.

Der Spiegel[1][2] and Washington Post would like a word with you ...

I can't speak for the rest of "the media," but what I remember was a different narrative, more along the lines of, "This sounds like something that Russia would do, but it really only hurts Russia, so maybe they didn't. Hey look at that new shiny story over there ..."[3]

Der Spiegel stuck with the story and is convinced it was "Ukraine," but it isn't clear to me if they mean Ukraine the state or Ukrainian citizens with a bunch of explosives and a yacht.
