I think GPT is comparatively poor at game dev due to a relatively small training corpus, with much more code being locked away in binaries (.uproject, etc), and game code rarely being open sourced

Godot might benefit more than other engines, since much of the code is stored as plaintext GDscript and makes it to GitHub more frequently
Why do people still use VBA?
Well, technically you can have gradual typing without inference. But you'll need to annotate every single value to get any matching out of it. If you do any language like that, the types will be only useful for documentation purposes.
The replacement is not without issues: each package can pick an ABI, nothing is enforced. A define in C toggles time_t between 32 and 64 bits, so if that struct is exposed in a library, dependents have to deal with it.

Similar of course to 32 vs 64 bit file offsets.
I'm curious what part of this scheme involves "not ending up in jail"? Needless to say you can't do this without identifying yourself. To make this an exploitable DoS attack you need to be able to run arbitrary binaries on a few thousand cloud hosts that you didn't lease yourself.
I was under the impression that online poker rooms are low key rigged and at the very least just cycle through preexisting card combinations rather than doing even a programmatic randomization (let alone using a true external source of randomization).
That's an important distinction that you should put next to your "do not mess with diet" advice (if the diet interacts with the treatment). Most diets I would consider to be healthy and balanced are unlikely to interact with any safe drug.
That's a charitable take.

IIRC there was a study that looked at the proportion of Github issues labeled as bugs, by language. Clojure came in with the lowest proportion. I overall prefer static typing, depending on what I'm doing, but I think avoiding ubiquitous mutable state is a lot more important than typing.
For a good time, look for videos of people shattering car windows with small bits of ceramic (like from a spark plug insulation ring). It's hard to believe.

I wonder how the Tesla truck windows would do...
Could do that before the user is forwarded to the website. Remove them for a day, then 2, then 4, then 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 etc it is not expensive to keep checking. Could send email too.

You'd probably want to measure click though rate and do manual review. Could also have a redirecting page so that the back button allows the visitor to flag or report something.
Also, don't forget referee tracking. Higher level referees work hard on being the right places at the right time, so having some data showing their position at KMI as well as some way to measure their ability to anticipate would be valuable.
> A program can voluntarily set itself to low priority if it is waiting for a spin lock

What does this even mean? How can a program do this when thread priority is an OS thing? It's seems just weird.
It does, but the same is true for virtually any such crash vulnerability. The question was whether this was a "valuable exploit", not whether it might theoretically be worse.

The space of theoretically-very-bad attacks is much larger than practical ones people will pay for, c.f. rowhammer.
Self reporting most likely.
I have a channel and have already pledged to make it 100% AI free in the following sense: I don't use AI tools to generate any content, period. I put a badge on my channel as well that says "100% AI Free".

More specifically it means: no generative video AI, no AI to write scripts, no AI period. To ** with AI.
Could also be a visa dodge of some sort. We tried to hire Americans, but we couldn't find anyone qualified.
Link aggregation sites don't work well as a reference. They're just the links that are popular that day. Aside from the wiki pages for some subreddits, they don't do a good job of storing a definitive set of links on some subject.
"Restaurants."
The fun thing is that none of that makes claim that they weren't communist sympathizers. Saying anything about bad regarding soviet internment camps was likely to get you some very funny looks in more than a few circles well into the 80s. The people that knew about them, and knew how things were over in the USSR would literally drop down to a whisper when discussing these things at the dinner table even in private company.

Was it right to fire the professors? Debatable. Were they communist sympathizers? Most likely, considering the influence of the USCP and the money that Moscow was pumping into it.
Remember, until the late 40s, or even the early 60s, Socialism, and it's final "logical conclusion" Communism was regarded as potentially sound political and economic theory by a majority of intellectuals, and most definitely Hollywood. (To be fair, Hollywood was pretty staunchly pro-soviet from the 20s onwards).

I was old enough for a geocities homepage, but not old enough to get that a webring was a web-ring.

I thought it was some cool secretive club of people: “we bring you internet stuff, and we’re all friends. Maybe we’ll let you in, kid.”

Then I got a bit older and thought it was a lewd reference to circles of jerks.

It would be years later, after the blogosphere collapsed, and social media had given us all PTSD, when I first heard someone explain what it was.

Just a few minutes ago, actually! ;)
Clearview Finds a Country that won't ban it
> it's difficult to measure the indirect impact of things like memory locality — I have heard such factors blamed for poor performance much more often than I have seen such factors proven as responsible for poor performance

This particular assertion does not seem to be well-founded. The importance of spatial and temporal locality to software performance on modern hardware is a singular obsession of data-intensive software architectures. Nor is it difficult to measure, these are some of the highest impact optimizations you can make assuming the code isn't naive. There are perf counters and such but the majority of poor locality is visible via simple code inspection. You don't need perf counters until you are doing serious performance engineering.

Locality optimization tends to be architectural in nature. If you do not design your software to have good locality characteristics then it will be complex to fix later. An argument can be made that it isn't worth the cost to fix software designs with poor locality after the fact, but the centrality of locality to software optimization is not controversial.

Huh? Distros don't produce the overwhelming majority of the software or configuration they ship. There's no reason individual distros need to be part of this effort.
This can scale with a central repository that any organization including manufacturers or suitably equipped individuals can contribute to. It just needs to be permissively licensed. The major distros or associated vendors such as Redhat or Ubuntu certainly have the resources to host such a thing and so does the Linux Foundation.

Going by the article, the piece wasn't actually recovered from the wall. Rather the wall just inspired Tacconi to look for it elsewhere, and she found it in a library. It hasn't been heard for 250 years simply because it's fairly obscure, not because the only copy was on a wall and no paper copies existed; in fact a paper copy did exist.

I think you have missed the point, it's more about decentralization and increasing "locality" of the internet, get people close to each other or with shared interest to have their own communities. Webrings may not be all that great of solution technically but it does the job in that front.

Sure you do, and it's not there. It's not clear what a denylist is, nor what a blocklist is. Words have meaning.
On the other hand, those things predate the distinction between the state and the leader, so in a way they were also the whim of some wealthy elite.

Google is a harmed party; the false reporterts have engaged in the crime of theft (of services/labor) by false pretenses against Google.

A significant proportion of autoimmune and neurodegenerative disorders are still very untreatable. And casting (reasonably balanced) diets as preventative is almost always useful for anything that isn't a genetic certainty.

I strongly disagree with your counterexample. MS, for example, is strongly correlated with environmental exposure [0]. Your diet is a constant and cumulative source of environmental exposure if you're eating normal American food all the time (pesticides, genotoxic compounds in processed foods [1], carcinogenic fats, hormones, and dense refined carb spikes with little fiber). Eating healthy is absolutely useful advice if you have some familial risk of M.S.

Worst case? You get it anyways, but are healthier overall.

That's credential inflation. Saying we require any degree to do this job means the degree is irrelevant. It's like Occupational licensing. Putting up barriers between people with low paying jobs to pursuing higher paying jobs which cannot be overcome without sinking a lot of cost. This country in the past did fine without requiring that license, as do many competing countries today.
I've never worked in automotive but it's pretty easy to imagine how this might play out in a car, where a single update might bundle updates for several programmable devices.

It's easy to imagine a central SoC receiving the update, verifying its signature against a local key and then reprogramming some MCU over an internal interface. But then after resetting the MCU, you realize that the image you just flashed isn't compatible with the boot security keys burned into that MCU. It's not uncommon for a device performing the OTA update to not have access to the "source of truth" keys / certificates used to verify the updated image at boot time.

Not that this is a great excuse. If you add OTA updates to a product that has this design, you should really be confident in your recovery solution.

There were a bunch of new features added to Orleans in the past year, including Live Grain Migration, IAsyncEnumerable support, Cosmos DB & Redis providers.

I think workflows (durable async/await) are more useful than Reminders v2 alone (in some sense, workflows are Reminders v2), but an enhanced reminders system is likely part of that, as is the new log-structured storage system. The log structured storage issue discusses this: https://github.com/dotnet/orleans/issues/7691. We've been experimenting with a programming model for workflows and intend to share that more broadly soon. Currently, we are planning for .NET 9, so feedback is welcome (best provided via GitHub rather than here). Aspire will make it easier to build and deploy Orleans apps, which is one of the harder points for people getting started with Orleans currently.
