>That means it's still possible to win a game by intentionally deviating from the perfect sequence

This part is not correct. If the arbitrary board state you start from is reachable from the fixed opening state given that the other player plays perfectly, then weak-solvedness means the other player can force whatever (a draw, in this case). If not, then the question is open. I don't know Othello, but an example of a chess position that is not reachable from the standard opening position is one where White has 8 pawns (so none have been promoted) but two bishops on white squares -- such a position can never arise through a legal sequence of moves. If we pretend for a moment that chess has been weakly solved as a draw, another example would be a position where White has only its king left, while Black has two rooks -- in this situation, Black can force a win, which implies that this is not a position that could ever arise under perfect play from the standard opening position, since that has already been proven to always result in a draw.

I found it helpful to (re-)derive what "forcing a draw" actually means, maybe you will too: Player 1 can force a draw from board position B in k moves or less iff, on their turn, (1) it is already a draw or a win for them, or (2) k >= 1 and they can play a move that draws or wins immediately, or (3, the inductive case) k >= 2 and they can play a move such that, for every legal move that player 2 could then play, player 1 can force a draw or win from the resulting board position in k-2 moves or less.
I'd argue exactly the contrary. In Rust you went out of your way to write the unsafe thing because that's specifically what you intended. As a result there's no need to try to guess whether this code doesn't care, if it didn't care it would be checked because that's the default.

With properly functioning secure boot and no bugs in the entire software stack, it doesn't matter if the disk is decrypted automatically, since you can't access the system without OS-level authentication. If you tried to replace system files to let you get in anyway, the secure boot measurements would no longer match up and the decryption fails entirely.

The one serious competition is PaddleOCR, which is faster on GPU, and also works better for Chinese and other non-Western scripts.

There are some newer ML-based projects like DocTR that have been catching up, at least for some use cases.

I guess one reason is that you can literally do this yourself within the Uber app in 30 seconds without the need for an intermediary.
Aggregating cve data is probably not a useful signal. Products with more cves are not necessarily less secure than ones with fewer ones.

Possibly if a product consistently has high cves over a long period of time that might tell you something about poor security practices over that period (or before it). It might also mean that their security is now quite good!

You have to interpret the data I'm afraid. I can't think of any useful statistical measures you could use to compare aggregate data across multiple products.

I don't know why you people have to make up these lies. I really don't know what drives you guys to stick your head into the sand this deep. You are fully aware that the launch cost of the JWST is an insignificant part of the mission budget. You are fully aware that there is no factory that mass produces telescopes like that and you are fully aware that there is no demand for launching the same telescope over and over again.

What you might not be aware of is that the folding contraption that you deride so much is probably the simplest and most reliable part of the telescope.

What is particularly perplexing is that people hate on the mission and worship the launch vehicle.

Hey, that's a good question, and the tools do have some overlap. Here is my (totally biased) comparison:

- datasette builds one single website and API, which you cannot customize, on top of a SQLite database. It is a little bit ugly, but very efficient to help you discover your own dataset, and make some quick data analysis. If you're concerned about restricting public access to your database, sharing it may not be ideal.

- SQLPage does not build anything for you by default. You need to write at least two or three SQL queries to make a useful website on top of your database. This requires you to already know the schema of the data you are working with. But this allows you to build visualisations of your data that look the way you want. While Datasette mainly offers tables, SQLPage provides forms, graphs, lists, tables, data cards, and more. The results tend to have a more polished and professional appearance, and your database remains private. Only the (parameterized) queries you create yourself can be executed by website visitors.

Furthermore, a significant distinction is that Datasette exclusively works with SQLite, while SQLPage can connect to SQLite, Postgres, MySQL, or SQL Server databases.

"Ultimately you should not be able to buy these, at least in their current form, as they serve no purpose whatsoever besides inflating their owner’s ego at a significant cost to others."

I am wary of this statement, because it could justify banning a wide range of consumer goods and services.

On another note, if SUVs are much more dangerous to others than other cars, insurance claims against SUV drivers and insurance premiums that they pay should reflect this. Why hasn't this happened?
I agree.

If you have 8-10 engineers you’re supervising and are the person interfacing with management, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to spend half your time coordinating, teaching, and planning.

So scale down the expected SDE 1 quotas (~50% coding), and you get around 25-30% coding time.

I think a lot of people confuse being an experienced career engineer with being a technical lead; that’s the real jump from SDE 2 to SDE 3.
And yet they suffer from the exact same issues (energy consumption, particles, road wear, etc). What we need to incentivise is small EVs for daily trips, not huge wasteful things like Teslas because their owners have range anxiety for the 2 times a year they do more than 100 km in one trip.

The scale does not need to be the same, but in the end heavy EVs are much worse than lighter ones.

Especially due to no freedom of the press in China (you need a permit for each published book) they are all already censored.

Not everything should be a chat interface.
It should also be mentioned that there are a bunch of ways to improve compile times. Bevy for example has a feature to compile itself as a dylib, which helps avoiding the cost of relinking everything together. The Cranelift backend for rustc will also help reducing compile times in debug mode. In Bevy's case it could be used for the binary crate only, leaving Bevy itself and other dependencies built with optimizations and dynamically linked, while the binary crate gets rebuilt very quickly but with less optimizations.

Hot reloading still has a place for quickly prototyping thanks to not resetting the state of the running program, but this is a lot trickier to do with Rust. I think we'll likely see better scripting support (with hot reload for the scripts) instead.
> You mention cost, but what is even the benefit of encryption that's unlocked by just booting?

Ideally, your login screen is secure and allows no bypasses into a shell or similar, so you cannot really access any files on the hard drive.

And if you modify some system files or boot another operating system to get around this, you are required to know the disk encryption password to get to them.

And that vetting should include simulated "in the wild" testing. Isolating a chemical and testing it's safety ignores the fact that in the wild there are other chemicals. That is, A is safe. B is safe. But when exposed to A + B your gut's microbes go bonkers.

For that better use D, Nim, Swift, C#, Go, designed from the ground up with one in mind, and whole ecosystem counts on it, instead of having coloured libraries.

They can’t use your algorithms unless you disclose them, or they’re straightforward to invent or reverse-engineer.

The patent system is (supposed to be) a trade: you tell everyone how to do something you invented, and in return your are granted a monopoly on exploiting it for a while (whether by using or selling it yourself, or by licensing same to others), after which anyone can use it.

The alternative is trade secrets: you don’t tell anyone how to do it, so no one else can do it. And this works just fine with software.

I think so, because even if you're encoding multiple syllables, that's just the pronounciation.

I've learned languages with alphabets and glyph scripts like Chinese, and *what I don't like about alphabet languages like English is that the letters themselves provide little context to their meaning, although you could learn the latin root words and guess from there. Of course you know how to say it, but you don't know what it means. With Chinese, you might guess what it means, but you don't know how to say it.* The characters have more meaning in them, although this isn't the case for every word, which is something non-speakers assume.

In short, from my experience learning Chinese was way easier than learning Vietnamese, which have historical ties together since Vietnamese used a fork of Chinese script until the early 1900s when they transitioned to latin script in order to improve literacy rates. Sure, it improved literacy rates because to read you only need to know how to pronounce, but it doesn't mean glyph languages are harder to learn the meaning/semantics.
While it offers Modula-2 like safety, with a syntax more appealing to C developers, in the 21st century we expect a little more from a systems language.
I don't get how this is worthwhile to do though? Don't you need a huge number of views to get ad money, and won't 99% of people bounce when they realize what the video is?

Another one of these weird things is football (soccer) highlights. If you look for the highlights of a recent match, you will find a load of videos with the team names, date, and score. But the video will be... a clip from a game of FIFA. As in, obviously not video of the game you were looking for, and not a reproduction of the action either. Just a screencap of some video game. How can something like this monetize?

Knowing how it started might help develop treatments, and that seems like a really weird thing to ignore.

If it was a lableak, then there's documents and data that would have been extremely helpful, and which still matter.

There's also the other benefits of knowing: public health preparedness, scientific research policies, global biosecurity, international relations and trust, legal and ethical accountability, zoonotic spillover research, public clarity, etc.

It completely baffles me that people are still dismissing the lableak theory as unimportant.
The real answer is that the distinction between "science fiction" and "science fantasy" is a matter of personal taste and perspective, and there is no objective definition for either. These rigid genre labels are created for the sake of commerce, and for nerds to argue about.

There are arguments to be made for Star Wars and Star Trek as either science fiction or science fantasy, depending on how you slice them. Both are fantasy in that they primarily focus on drama rather than speculative science (Star Trek may have the superficial trappings of "science" but they're really morality plays that just "tech the tech") and include pseudo-mystical elements (The Force/Jedi vs. the Q, telepathy, many of Star Trek's weird space anomalies might as well be magic,) and both are science fiction in that they take place in a universe with "futuristic" elements like spaceships, computers, robots and aliens. One could even argue that Star Wars is the harder of the two settings, as far as sci-fi goes, simply by virtue of leaving more explanation to the imagination, and having more variety in alien design.

But really it's up to you.

With modern file systems like BTRFS you could take a(n incremental) snapshot and send that over the network using btrfs send.

Filesystems without snapshots can't be disk cloned that easily, but tools like Timeshift will try to replicate snapshot behaviour using hardlinks, so I assume backups of Timeshift snapshots should also suffice.

Timeshift can be configured in various ways, including making daily snapshots. I mostly use it for periodic snapshots and snapshots taken before the package manager runs (as a poor man's System Restore alternative).

I don't think Timeshift supports automatically sending snapshots just yet. For that, you'd need to set up a cronjob or systemd timer.
Tailwind seems to really be taking over fast for sure. To some extent you might be right, it's just not easy to be semantic, this project makes plenty of compromises too.

Why Building a Platform May Not Be Your Best Bet–Exploring Five Critical Reasons
The issue is that Neflix, Max and the others are a bridge between you and the content you want to watch. When this content starts to shift around and things that were available in one place now are in another, consuming content becomes problematic.

In addition to that, prices are going up while overall catalogue size seems to be going down (at least the catalogue of quality content)

On top of that you have an increasing tendency of just canceling things left and right because the ROI from the companies perspective is not as high as they were hoping and so fuck the people who were invested in that TV series.

The end result is that the entire streaming landscape is a mess, everything is becoming more expensive and you get no real benefit in return and at a certain point, if I want to watch TV series X or Movie Y my best bet is to just pirate the damn thing and call it a day.
The human-assisted aspect of AI development in general seems to be getting a lot more (well-deserved) attention recently. Google along with everyone else has depended on cheap human labor for data labeling for many years. The fact that Cruise is also relying on human labor to deal with the 2-3% of edge cases the AI can't handle is not surprising. I agree there may be a concern about how it's being represented, and the consequent implications for public perception. It's also true that the cars are operating themselves a significant portion of the time. In my book there is a lot of "self-driving" happening here, just not 100%. But that seems like an unsurprising stage in this process. I have my doubts about whether we will ever get to 100% autonomy, i.e. no human intervention ever, but whether that is a viable goal will be up to the company implementing it to decide... is it more cost-effective to provide their service with mostly-autonomous cars that require occasional human intervention? or is it cheaper just to rely on human drivers in the first place?

We are talking about european SUVs which by american standards are small cars.

What to do? Expand cities, allow more housing because people don't want (but are forced by building codes) to live crammed in centuries old apartments, and they want the flexibility of a car that even works offroad (oh the luxury!). Why do we pretend that increasing the value of real estate is the only goal societies should have? People want to be happy. Emissions have become a convenient excuse to make life miserable. We have green technologies in cars and in housing to use, sustainability is no longer an excuse.

There is a reason why conjunction (AND) is also called logical multiplication, and disjunction (OR) logical addition. There is not much difference between this and:

This is often useful to think about when working on bitset or SIMD algorithms.
> Replace with “fluoridated” or “chlorinated” and we pipe it into houses and give it to everyone in the household by the glassful.

Y'all are ... weird in that regard by European standards. Our tap water is pure as it comes from the groundwater, spring or whatever other water source; adding chlorine is unheard of outside of short-term contamination issues, and flouride and iodide are generally added into table salt and that's enough. We also don't chlorine wash our chickens or our eggs.

In the end I think the difference boils down to the US using chlorine to "mask" the negative effects of penny-pinching (e.g. properly maintaining water mains, not letting farm animals practically live inside their feces, and following GMP standards in slaughterhouses), while European culture and legislation is proactive instead of reactive.
