That's not SECDED, since it can't correct a bitflip that occurs somewhere other than on the link, nor can it detect a double bitflip in those situations.

SECDED. Just ask for SECDED.

What's a niche thing today can become a common thing in the future, though.

For example, exposure bracketing and stacking to get HDR images had to be done using dedicated software fifteen years ago or so, but nowadays most cameras and phones do it without any additional steps.

My Typesetting Markdown series[1] describes crafting shell scripts to cobble together pandoc, knitr, math, ConTeXt, and YAML-based interpolated variables to produce PDF files.

For my sci-fi novel, my character sheet was inside of a spreadsheet. It dawned on me that the character sheet could be replaced with a YAML file and integrated with a Markdown editor. I developed KeenWrite[2] to replace the scripts while allowing me to use interpolated variables and R inside of the prose.

My novel has two separate timelines and I wanted to make sure that dates lined up correctly without having to do the date math manually. I implemented a number date functions in R[3] based around an "anchor" date. As long as all my other dates are relative (in days) to the anchor date, all the math checks out. Possessives and pronouns are also handled in R (meaning I can change a character's gender by changing a single variable, provided I haven't referenced any sex-specific body parts or characteristics).

Also, I wanted a nice-looking PDF file to send to alpha readers (still looking, see profile). For that, I crafted KeenWrite Themes[4] along with a video tutorial series showing how all the software components work together.

On the technical side, Markdown lacks a standard syntax for citations and cross-references. I've written about this at length.[6] If flexmark-java were to get support, then it would help resolve a long-standing issue with KeenWrite.[7]

Honestly that's the million (billion?) dollar question at the moment.

LLMs are inherently insecure, primarily because they are inherently /gullible/. They need to be gullible for them to be useful - but this means any application that exposes them to text from untrusted sources (e.g. summarize this web page) could be subverted by a malicious attacker.

We've been talking about prompt injection for 14 months now and we don't yet have anything that feels close to a reliable fix.

I really hope someone figures this out soon, or a lot of the stuff we want to build with LLMs won't be feasible to build in a secure way.

Have you had good experience with this for portability though? On what classes of hardware and OS?

I did a bit of work in OpenCL almost 10 years ago, and found it decently portable on a range of NVIDIA GPUs as well as Intel iGPUs. On the high end I used something like the Titan X while on the low end it was typical GPUs found in business class laptops.

But my limited exposure to AMD was terrible by comparison. Even though I am away from that work now, I still tend to try to run "clpeak" and one of my simpler image processing scripts on each new system. And while I liked a Ryzen laptop for general use or even games, it seemed like OpenCL was useless there. It seemed my best option was to ignore the GPU and use Intel's x86_64 SIMD OpenCL runtime.

The ISS occasionally transmits images with this method[0]. They usually do some "SSTV events" where they have a series of images sent over a period of 2-3 days (allowing people the chance to receive many different images from the series as the ISS passes a respective area a few times during the period). You can browse a gallery of user-submitted received transmissions at https://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/

Is this really what consumers prefer?

Logged-in users necessarily carry state in some way such that they are identifiable as a logged-in user. "Session cookies" (and 'super cookies' etc) are standard practice for tracking which users are logged in.

YouTube does not and has not required login to view creators' videos and shorts.

And now don't they - just YouTube, hopefully - have to require login for their TOS to be a recognized agreement that authorizes determining whether the user is logged in and not stealing hours of free services.

Also, while the representation of the pixel grid is fairly accurate, it's missing the chromatic aberration from the fact that they were individual electron emitters of red, green, and blue phosphor dots. Pushing the red channel 0.05f and the blue channel -0.05f on the x axis should do the trick.

The argument was never that the availability of divorce caused the (extremely high) outcome of divorce.

It is, and continues to be, that the extremely unbalanced (against the man) outcome of divorce creates a massive power unbalance in the relationship. And that's the incentive.

As the almost-guaranteed to be greatly benefited party, pressing the button is, rationally, a much better option than trying to resolve any issues in the relationship.

A relationship w/o marriage lacks this perverse incentive.

Moody's Cut Its Outlook for the US Economy

Being an adult is willingly taking responsibility, and in some ways liking it. Whatever it is, I'll handle it somehow. It might not be perfect, the plan may change, and it may even ultimately fail, but it's still mine and I'll deal with it. I might do it myself, hire an expert, or ask for help. That doesn't matter.

The key is how we handle speedbumps and mistakes. A child throws up their hands, surrenders, and/or hands it over to someone else. Being an adult is less about knowing everything, but being able to see things through to the finish regardless of what comes your way.

Canva is not a diagraming tool. It’s a visual design tool with a very different user base.

Their asset library is massive with millions, maybe tens of millions, of images including both photos and vector graphics.

One of the more annoying parts of the tool - in my limited experience - is searching through an endless library for simple shapes when I already know exactly what I want. Presumably this tool aims to solve that pain point.

Disclosure: worked there a few years ago.

Edit: I suspect (zero inside info) this use case is important because they want to be a competitive diagraming tool as well. However, they’ll be constrained in that they cannot fundamentally change the design experience for the other 99% of their current users.
I really liked the DDD book, but I think that many of the suggestions mostly apply to huge "do it all" enterprise applications, which are also not the best fit for Rails. So I think it's OK if you can't easily apply those patterns to a Rails app - if you actually need to build a single enterprise application to rule them all, you should probably choose a different framework anyway.

> Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32S3/C3, WaveShare ESP32S3 Zero, Unbranded ESP32-WROOM with OLED, Orange Pi Zero W (untouched), Raspberry Pi Zero W (L->R, T->D)
After testing all of these, the only one reliable to work for long periods of time (one month currently) was the XIAO ESP32C3/S3.

I suspect they may be having power issues? For the ESP32's specifically I highly recommend adding a beefy capacitor over the power rails, as those can be rather sensitive to voltage fluctuations especially when transmitting. Both the RPi and ESP's can be finicky depending on the power supply/cable/cable length too, and the RPi's sdcard does tend to fail from sudden power loss. They should all be capable of at least a month, my pi's and esp's have gone several months.

I'd be curious to see the results from other ESP32's (or even the pi) with a larger capacitor added.
The scientists in this matter also try to calculate mitigation costs - where this would fall into. Also other mega engineering like eg. big North Sea dam.

The result in the end is simple: It will be cheaper in the long run to mitigate the cause than the effects.

The core of the web only need basic HTML with closing tags (and properly shaped singleton element/tags) with the basic grammar (from the specs), utf8 encoded, no script.

It is enough for a bazillion of online services, that without requiring a beyond insanely complex and massive web engine from Big Tech. basic HTML forms can do wonders.

Of course, you can have a full blown Big Tech web app, but don't forget to have a interop portal with noscript/basic (x)html browsers to avoid, at least for critical online services, Big Tech lock-in and unreasonable exit cost.

That said, it may be a good idea to be able to drive the display or not of <table> rules with the default styling (css or hardcoded) from the 2D semantic HTML document attributes (I should check the hardcoded style of links and lynx for <table> rules).

I've made a routine of visiting my favorite café for almost a year now. There have been a few days when I've felt a sense of loneliness, keeping to myself and observing the people around me. While I'm not actively seeking just any friend, as a straigth guy I do fantasize about finding a meaningful connection and overcoming the solitude that occasionally creeps in.

One particular day, a child mischievously spat on some desks and swiftly made a run for it. The following day, I noticed a software engineer who frequented the café almost daily, much like myself. Curiosity led me to strike up a conversation with him, inquiring if he had witnessed the child's prank. This led to discussions about our respective jobs, eventually blossoming into a friendship. Unfortunately, he later moved to another city, and was a good guy.

My advice is to keenly observe people around you, engage in conversations, but exercise caution in placing trust. For instance, there's a person who consistently greets me at the café but never purchases a drink to himself. On one occasion, he asked about my well-being, but I hesitated to delve into a deeper conversation, suspecting he may be taking advantage of free resources such as electricity and wifi. I believe this behavior is ethically questionable.

In conclusion, it's crucial to seek out genuine connections similar to oneself. While the transient nature of friendships can bring moments of loneliness, the pursuit of meaningful connections is a journey worth undertaking.

>doesn't suddenly mean you have more routes to deal with.

Routing tables don't magically change their structures according to the routes either. Think about this: the routing table must provide at least 40 bits of space to accomodate for possibly 40-bit routes or 32-bit routes. After all, the router cannot tell what routes you are putting in when it is manufactured.

If you increase your address space by any number of bits, your routing table must necessarily increase its size.

I have a new term:
Mono-objective societal collapse - MOSC. MOSC is the scenario where everyone is trying to achieve "AI", and some or all attempts fail, and the result is base-infrastructure gaps which can affect a small group of individuals or be an existential threat to society.

You might say, why is a new term needed? My answer: this article is / has been done and redone ... is it written by an LLM and everyone is just recycling it? Or are actual humans spending their time this way?
> What is this idea of AGI that there exists a significant gap still?

Because an LLM doesn't simulate the brain.

It's a completely different model that simulates something much different.

> There is nothing special about fatigue or frustration that make it any less modellable than any other implicit structure

Fatigue isn't being modeled.

Instead, the predictive text as the result of that fatigue is being models.

You are confusing output to input.

To make this more clear, imagine a coin flip modeler.

A model that just picked a random seed, is completely different from a model that is doing physics calculations based on a coin flipping in the air.

Even if both models only output "heads" or "tails" .

Same argument applies to language models.
