You can also use %3 to evaluate the game for a win state from a given move. For example to detect the diagonal leftBottom - rightTop win state given some new move (row, col) it looks something like:

int player = grid[row][col];

if (row == (col+ col +2)%3){

if (grid[(row+1)%3][(col+2)%3] == player && grid[(row+2)%3][(col+1)%3]==player){

return true;

Intel was receiving continuous beatings from AMD (Ryzen/Epyc) a few years before Apple came up with M1. 2016/2017 vs 2020. I don't think Apple and Intel are in much competition: Intel doesn't make laptops and lacked Apple's moat when they did, and Apple doesn't sell (amd64) server CPUs.

> if kia makes a cheap car with crappy locks either don't buy it

Immobilizers were a standard feature on cars for decades. If you went to buy a car, no one was putting immobilizer on the list of features, and they certainly wouldn't let you try breaking the ignition lock on a test drive.

If they had advertised that their vehicles were insecure, then sure, it's on the buyer, but they didn't.

I was trying to figure out how a frozen embryo could be a criminal... The one thing that came to mind is if it didn't develop when implanted, would it be suicide? For this specific case, could the estate of the destroyed embryos be sued for damages? (a patient handled a chilled container of embryos, causing frostbite to the patient. Is that similar to a driver being in an accident, in that a person was encapsulated in another entity which caused damage). I can't believe we're having to have these kinds of discussions in 2024.

the whole idea of an “AI winter” is that people did not feel that AI was capable and worth pursuing, the Wikipedia link makes that sentiment clear. The remaining computer scientists still working in AI space obviously continued developing the technology despite the lack of public interest and major funding, but the same happens in crypto: engineers are still developing new ideas and technologies within blockchain space (ZK proofs, verkle trees, etc). Bitcoin has stagnated but other technologies have not.

Nuclear material has the fantastic property that you can precisely measure the danger. Regardless of the specifics of the material, regardless of the geometry, size, surface coating, chemical composition -- a geiger counter will tell you exactly how dangerous the material is.

There is this kind of weird thing that people do where they assume nuclear waste is uniquely dangerous. It isn't! We can just measure it, so the danger is perfectly legible. This is a good thing! The rest of industrial waste is NOT like this. You can see studies of people who live in areas near oil refineries and chemical plants in Texas and Louisiana -- population level cancer and birth defect rates are very high. It's exactly as you say, bog standard "dangerous chemicals" are just as dangerous as nuclear radiation is. Only we can't measure them, so I guess what can ya do if a whole city gets birth defects or cancer?

The double standard is actually wild. I would prefer to live next to a nuclear plant, thank you very much. I can get a geiger counter and know if I'm being poisoned.

Re: Async - there could potentially be speed benefits and simplifications if async interfaces were exposed instead of synchronous functions, right? Maybe it's not more simple, maybe async is a trap for the use cases you see that would overcomplicate (totally possible)? Being able to do stuff like await multiple API requests to LLM's and deal with the first to return, or wait for both, is the kinda thing that Python's async interfaces can make easier and I notice that you're already using Tornado for websockets under the hood, which is natively async I think, but the Hyperdiv examples I saw weren't using async functions so I wondered about what the side effects of that could be. Maybe you already have exposed interfaces for it and I've just overlooked them?
Edit: I just noticed you said you have async function support! Well, I wonder how deep it goes? I guess you know when something breaks?
Anyway really nice presentation of the problem and solution, nice work!

I guess I am a bit confused. Someone was supposed to be checking the bolts before the plane left the facility and they didn't. That seems to be a QC process issue more than a QA issue.

I work in CA/PKI, particularly IOT device registration/security via TPM keys.

I cannot imagine a scenario after years working with our own infra and clients where a car manufacturer would restrict access to the vehicle with a private key decryption on the FOB tpm, (that can't be exported or copied.)

Lost/broke fob? 4000 pound paperweight, to no ones benefit. Insurance nightmare that would also be violating right to repair in many states (which is a different issue) .

There SHOULD be a standard like every person has some device or process that is also a CA, who can then generate and dictate what keypairs can access a device, car etc. But we are very very very far away form that.

IANAL, but AFAIK you can't disclaim liability that you actually have. I'd love to hear an actual lawyer who knows (not a know-it-all amateur) declaim on this, but:

A Ferris Wheel operator cannot make you sign a disclaimer that they're not responsible if it collapses and kills you. Or rather, they can, but it will not hold up in court.

Similarly, you can say in your manual, "We're not responsible for anything we say here" but you still are.

I don't know about chatbots, but I'd expect that judges will look for other precedents that are analogous.

To be honest, I see more like a write-up about the shortcomings of using a classic cache system in front of your DB rather than about what Ready set does. Yes, it explains it but it could be better (for example, practical example of how you set a query to be cached, an overview how replication stream ingestion works under the hood etc)

It's a dumb tradeoff, IMO. The job of `yes` is to produce output only when it's being read, and this implementation copies the "y\n" until it fills up a BUFSIZ-sized buffer (8KB on my system), then outputs that buffer until the write fails. This means you're paying the cost to fill the buffer even if you're only reading one line (which is a common use case for "yes": Responding with "y" to software that is asking you for confirmation, which generally only reads input once.) Which means "yes" will always occupy at least 8kb of RAM even thought it doesn't need to, and you're spending thousands of CPU cycles copying into a buffer even though you don't need to.

That inefficiency is a far bigger sin than the "slowness" of yes needing a write() call for every line it emits, given the intended purpose of the command (which is not, as the code suggests, to saturate a unix pipe as fast as you can.)
Well doesn't printf also buffer output using a buffer of size BUFSIZ?
So are most papers.
I'm in this camp as well, starting with input file redirection just makes so much sense to me.

I also don't tend to want enormous volumes of text in my terminal scrollback so I generally view files or pipe verbose commands to `less`, then when I find what I want to send to the terminal I use the `|` less command to pipe it to `cat`.

I have two friends who work(ed) in the trades (plumbing and construction) and have talked about their experiences with me a lot, and you're not telling the full story here though. Sure the pay is good, but first of all it takes years of taking lessons, being subject to being ordered around and taken advantage of by more senior union members, tons of red tape and bureaucracy, and a lot of tests to actually move through the ranks, and you need to get training to do even base level stuff safely. So "just walk on site and get $35/hr" is kind of misleading. Moreover, the job takes a serious, serious toll on your health and body, far more than any office job would. So the pay might seem good at first, but you'll realize why it's that good pretty soon — and it's not just because of unions. The friend that was in construction got the fuck out of there literally as soon as she could, ran to get a white collar job even at a pay cut. My plumber friend is doing it because she failed out of trying to get a computer science degree, so she doesn't really have another career option, but believe you me, she would sell her soul to be able to do software instead of a trade if she could.

The grass might seem greener on the other side (like that "if architects had to work like programmers" article the other day), but there really isn't any industry that's as easy to work in and high paying as tech is. That might be a bubble that'll pop eventually (I suspect it might) but right now that's the reality.
> I tried getting an adult diagnosis in the UK to see if maybe "proper drugs" would be helpful, but was just told politely to fuck off by the GP. The reasoning was that I have a job in tech, so even if I had ADHD, it's not bad enough to warrant any treatment. Lots of coffee and listening to "hardstyle" or any music with high BPM seems to help me focus.

If you're ever looking to chase that down again, having a successful career shouldn't preclude you from being "impaired" enough to be treated for ADHD, but you need to emphasize _how_ your life is negatively impacted to give the GP, Psychologist, or anyone else involved the justification they need to diagnose and treat you. (And if you already did this, well, maybe another doctor?)

When I was diagnosed my being relatively successful was definitely some points against, but really high level I was able to explain:

- That I had recently switched jobs, the previous behaviours _are_ impacting my work, and here's exactly how.

- Detailed some of the challenges I faced in my day-to-day life personally and how it was impacting my family.

- For questions where I am not particularly impaired, where possible I explained the coping strategies I use in order to, y'know, function, but obviously that this was still stressful and difficult for me.

The psychologist had no issue diagnosing me with ADHD and recommending my GP prescribe me medication. He was not surprised to hear that over a few decades I'd managed to develop one or two coping strategies, and the strategies I'd explained were actually consistent with an ADHD diagnosis.
My first thought was that it reads like a kind of corporate Finnegan's Wake. It reads like poetic, rhythmic nonsense.

Having Salesforce, Zendesk, Hubspot and Pipedrive that share the same data in one company I would immediately start cutting costs instead of thinking about integration. Even if I had to think about it, the only correct approach for data propagation is directly from source of truth (or in "colonial" terms - master system) to dependent systems, and the only middleware in between them being data delivery (simple queue or ESB, workflow automation platform like Camunda or Zapier etc).
https://www.ctvnews.ca/autos/kia-and-hyundai-vehicles-in-can...

> CNN reported that only 26 per cent of Hyundai and Kia models from 2015 to 2019 were equipped with electronic immobilizers in the U.S., compared with 96 per cent of all other vehicles in those years, making the Hyundai and Kia models roughly twice as likely to be stolen.

If 96% of buildings in a neighborhood have iron bars over the ground floor windows, and you build a development in which only 26% of them do, yes... that's probably negligent, unless there are other factors to explain the discrepancy.

If theives start disproportionately breaking into your development's properties, your tenants can probably be a bit miffed about your lack of security measures.
