It makes me think of the TriangleDB iPhone exploit.

I don't think anyone could have realistically known that those MMIO opcodes were there, without being part of the actual CPU design team.

>The exploit targets Apple A12–A16 Bionic SoCs, targeting unknown MMIO blocks of registers that are located at the following addresses: 0x206040000, 0x206140000, and 0x206150000.

>The prompted me to try something. I checked different device tree files for different devices and different firmware files: no luck. I checked publicly available source code: no luck. I checked the kernel images, kernel extensions, iboot, and coprocessor firmware in search of a direct reference to these addresses: nothing.

>How could it be that that the exploit used MMIOs that were not used by the firmware? How did the attackers find out about them? What peripheral device(s) do these MMIO addresses belong to

I believe it's very easy nowadays to release undetectably vulnerable devices.

The Fusion of AI and Human Creativity: Navigating the New Frontier
As we delve deeper into the 21st century, the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and human creativity is becoming an increasingly prevalent and provocative topic. With the advent of advanced AI tools capable of generating art, music, literature, and even code, we stand at the precipice of a new era where the boundaries between human and machine-generated creativity are becoming blurred.

This fusion raises several compelling questions:

Can AI truly be creative, or is it merely mimicking patterns it has learned from vast datasets?
What does the collaboration between AI and human artists mean for the future of creative professions?
How do we navigate the ethical and intellectual property concerns that arise with AI-generated content?
Moreover, as AI tools become more accessible and integrated into creative workflows, how will our perception of art and originality evolve? Will the democratization of creative tools lead to a renaissance of human expression, or will it dilute the value of individual creativity?

I invite you all to share your insights, concerns, and predictions on this fascinating intersection of technology and human ingenuity. How do you envision the role of AI in the creative process, and what implications does this hold for the future of art, culture, and technology?

It still is stepwise for the kinds of use cases being envisioned.

I wrote something like this in the past, it doesn't make sense in ruby.

The closest ruby way is:

result = DoStuff
return something if result.nil? # error, early exit

result = OtherStuff(result)
return something if result.nil? # error, early exit

No additional complexity. Otherwise usually it ends up just rewriting "programming".

With pattern matching there are also some alternatives now.

I don't know it they market this way. I learned it at the winery, from someone who clearly loved the wine. It was a, "Try these two. Taste the difference?" thing, followed by the story. And then you walk outside the tasting room, look up at the hill, and see it.

Do read Dune Messiah, the sequel to Dune. I believe it was written specifically for those who failed to get the negative implication from Dune. Hence, it was not so well received. It is my favourite in the series (well, maybe after Dune itself), firstly because it is very explicit about the tragic consequences of Paul's jihad, which was only hinted at in the first book, and secondly because of the way that it greatly enriches the literary universe of Dune by filling more details of the various political actors, the Guild steersmen, the amoral technologists of the Bene Tleilax, gholas, the mysterious planet Ix, and so on. And the Dune Messiah is surprisingly short!

You should probably read Children of Dune to round off the trilogy, just to learn the fate of Paul Atreides, although he is not the primary character in that book.

The second trilogy is distinct but the stories are told told in the same setting; enjoyable but not essential.
If you move slower, you evolve slower. If less energy is available you have fewer organisms, there's less reproduction, therefore there is less evolution and less mutation.

That's why when we drilled down to Lake Vostok we found some single celled life forms that had interesting properties because they'd been cut off from the rest of the world for millions of years, but we didn't find Jules Verne's Lost World. There's just not enough energy down there under the ice to power a lot of biology. The less abundant/accessible energy is, the less probable complex life becomes, regardless of the biochemistry.

I buy that there's a good chance weird things on the complexity scale of bacterium are dotted all over the cosmos, but the big problem is those are functionally impossible for us to study (and even conclusively detect) unless mayyyyybe if they're in our solar system.
The interesting thing here is that the typesafe printf has its function arguments inferred from a string literal, at compile time. You can change the 9 to a "9" and see the type error even before running the code.

This is something that most mainstream language's type system cannot do.

Ancient technique applied in computer science age
I am former XXX's employee, worked for a dozen years after moved out from XXXXchild XXXXconductor. Both were leading technology back in days, maybe still depending who we ask. Specialized in Linux space and a web developer.

The censorship trending trouble for the past 4 years, troubling as we are getting disconnected from various of online resources . We unable to find specific data on search engine, even when certain engine claims to be free from censorship and not tracking users. The problem with this is one can change our perspective of world view by controlling certain information. Example, one can change world view on Africa that they are always dying off hunger. While the hard working people on the planet is Japanese. Either one is not true because Japanese don't own their time, while African have their time; this is my biases. It is how information transmit into our memory and how we perceives it, the worst part if once the information perceived we can't undo it. It is like trying to convince a 30 years old flatearther that our planet is round like the moon, while we all believing in "flat-earth".

the subject which any computer geek hates is history, and I begin to dive more into it. It become more apparent that there is history you been told and there is history beyond that. This is where I notice ancient technique is been deployed into modern day information technology. The effect is bad, we have done way worst in past.

I missed those days where one can search Altavista and gets information required without any filters.

Don't make "operators" a special case - make them just functions following the normal rules. Scala gets close to this (though sadly it still has some operator precedence rules). To define a function called "plus", you do "def plus" (or "fun plus" or whatever your syntax is). To define a function called "+" you do "def +". It's so much nicer and more consistent. Yes, some library authors abuse it to write functions or classes with dumb names, but you can write dumb names with letters as well.

It's not that it's bullshit, it's more that it's possible that you are not able to discern or inclined to care or a combination. And it is perfectly reasonable and something that everyone does for most things they consume or use - beer, food, films, cars, sound, furnishings, etc. For countless categories, you can keep it practical or you can delve further. With a film, you can just watch things and like or not like them, or you can pay close attention to particular directors or techniques in structuring a story or presenting a visual.

I do think though that if you have even a passing interest in wine, and are likely to drink wine through your adult life, that a quick course to become familiar with it unlocks something in what you get from it - identifying varieties, faults, etc.
Why would you prefer that over:

throw exceptionC("error code: ", t);

?

Ever since perfect forwarding I've been using this pattern to get out of arrow hell:

template <typename Arg, typename...Args>
string to_string(Arg &&arg, Args &&...args) {
stringstream buf;
buf << arg;
((buf << std::forward<Args>(args)), ...);
return buf.str();
}
There seems to be some sort of flaw or misalignment in the hypothesis. By my reading, it seems this trio is saying LLMs do arithmetic by predicting the digits, and at intermediate stages there are actually partial predictions, and so there isn't a huge jump, which would then be classifiable as emergent. But I'm thinking that in order for an LLM to generally predict arithmetic results in the way they are designed, there would be an infinite memory requirement as it'd have to "store" an infinite set of completions.

So the key may be to find sets of operands that GPT4/Claude Opus are unable to solve, even with hints similar to what a teacher may give a student learning the topic. Until such a set is found, I'd say this capability continues to meet the "emergent" definition, as the only other explanation - that I can think of - is that the models "discovered" how to do arithmetic in a general way.
In Virgil every first-class function is a represented as a fat pointer, i.e. two words[1], for both bound and unbound delegates. It's simple to understand, the syntax is clean, and it always works the way you expect it to. It doesn't create garbage and basically means you use two registers instead of one. The unbound version even does a proper virtual dispatch for you.

I understand C++'s intention, but it's doing no one any favors here and makes it really hard to build proper abstractions. Pointers to members are clunky, hard to use, and easy to screw up. AFAIU it's possible that a pointer to a member to be a single simple function pointer, but not guaranteed, and you shouldn't rely on it. It seems like a very bad tradeoff. std::function is considerably more heavyweight (and according to this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13503511/sizeof-of-stdfu... might be arbitrarily large); i.e. it's slow in practice and people avoid it.

[1] For programs less than 4GB combined code and heap, the two pointers can be packed into a single 64-bit word (though the compiler doesn't do this currently).
When the asset can be marked to market, asking people to pay tax on the value once a decade is reasonable, especially if you offer tax credits for any decline that happens later.

> Why do you insist on using it as a "typical" case when it clearly isn't?

Never said typical it’s literally the second on a list. It’s one of the few locations I’ve seen over 4,000 acres so it’s not typical, though presumably I didn’t randomly find the worst example and most didn’t include the area.

Edit: 12,000 acres + a 7,000-acre reservoir, which eliminates the need for cooling towers though it’s got 2 reactors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Texas_Nuclear_Generating... if you include the water behind the dam I think it’s 19,000 acres generating 2.56 net GW, exclude the water and that goes up but presumably dams also get much more land efficient.

Poking around, you can find various justifications for sites needing more or less land. Palo Verde needs a 85-acre and a 45 acre artificial ponds because of its location in a desert. Anything located near a large body of water gets that for ‘free’ and can also make use of the water as part of its security zone a double win, though not quite as much as a wind farms in the ocean. Add in multiple reactors on one location and you can really jump up the density.

Poking around at the other end there’s much smaller reactors on big sites. China has one 200MW reactor on a site with multiple planned future reactors... Which is the thing, the real world is messy you can’t just think in terms of typical or hypothetical but what’s actually used. And of course each of these sites generated zero power for years under construction and will also generate zero power for years or even decades while being decommissioned/decontaminated.

If you will be in the path of totality, you don't need eclipse glasses.

Just wear your regular sunglasses, and don't look at the Sun during the partial phases.

Bring a white sheet to put on the ground, and a large piece of paper with pinholes stuck into it. With your sunglasses on, look away from the Sun and project it through the pinholes onto the sheet.

Keep watching as totality approaches, and something magical may happen: ripples of light and dark on your sheet, as if you were at the bottom of a stream or river.

Then look up and you may see the Moon's shadow approaching at high speed!

When the shadow overtakes you, turn around and make sure there are no little specks of light around the edge of the Sun. (These are called the diamond ring and Baily's beads.) A quick glance won't hurt you, just keep them out of the center of your vision so you don't have an afterimage.

Then take your sunglasses off and behold the awesome solar corona.

As soon as any of those specks come back, turn back around, sunglasses go on, and maybe head out to beat the crowds!

> make sure we get a part of the value should someone resell / create a derivative of our software.

These are different animals, FOSS means you give downstream users most of the key rights in the software that you have, including sources, the rights to use it and distribute to others.

If you want to restrictively license it so people have to pay you, that's something very different, "all rights reserved".

Dual-license means you make the free option 'too free' for most commercial users, forcing them to supply changed sources and also allow anyone to distribute it under the same terms, GPL3 is a common choice. It's 'viral' and probably forces anything linked to it to be GPL3 or freer, including any of their own secret source. But those guys are not obliged to pay you anything.

The commercial users who don't want to share their work on top of yours can approach you for a separate, paid, restrictive licence allowing that.

How well it works depends on how common it is to bind stuff to the GPL3 version and how objectionable that is for commercial users, funnelling them into your paid licence.
