How about arguing against the point being made instead of your analogy, which presents a scenario that does not at all match the original one. Who said anything about having your best interest in mind?
Cosplay as a lone wolf all you want, but the reality is that people, especially the sort of people that know how to configure a CDN, wouldn’t last a minute without the support of others, delivered through capitalism or otherwise.
Also, when I forget which is which, or when I’m unsure which of these applies in a given case, I can just say “auth” and let others worry about that.
Thank you! I'm looking into it @ open sourcing.
>> Seriously?

Yes, seriously.

>> The goal is to learn how to infer algorithmic processes directly from data.

And they demonstrated nothing like that. An "algorithmic process" is not finding the weights for a function given some carefully designed bias. An algorithm is a sequence of operations that calculates the result of a function. Nothing like that has been demonstrated in the linked paper at all.

>> General algorithmic capability is one of the key traits that we think AGI should have, and it’s currently missing. If you have a better approach for getting there quicker than everyone else in the field, please share it.

It's not missing at all, you just wont' find it in neural nets. And my PhD and post-doc research is exactly on that sort of thing, learning programs, algorithms and, currently, solvers for general planning problems.
One interesting observation from §5.5 Transition:

We believe that it is not possible to have a "flag-day" form of
transition in which all hosts and routers must change over at
once. The size, complexity, and distributed administration of the
Internet make such a cutover impossible.

Rather, IPng will need to co-exist with IPv4 for some period of
time. There are a number of ways to achieve this co-existence
such as requiring hosts to support two stacks, converting between
protocols, or using backward compatible extensions to IPv4. Each
scheme has its strengths and weaknesses, which have to be weighed.

Furthermore, we note that, in all probability, there will be IPv4
hosts on the Internet effectively forever. IPng must provide
mechanisms to allow these hosts to communicate, even after IPng
has become the dominant network layer protocol in the Internet.

That last quoted paragraph is probably very accurate in retrospect.

Your example using Turkish isn't that good. Turkic languages like Turkish or Kazakh switched to a latin alphabet because the arabic or cyrillic writing systems didn't suit them. The cyrillic script was explicitly created for slavic languages, so there's no need for slavic languages to switch to a latin based alphabet.
If you want to learn more about DOS, I found that "The MS-DOS Encyclopedia", by Ray Duncan[0] is a pretty nice read. It is really accessible, yet it gets you into the nitty-gritty details*. The history is very interesting too (assuming its accurate; it's a Microsoft published book after all).

*goes up to to MS-DOS 3.1 though.

When simulating or modeling how long something will take, (0 hours, 1 hours, 2 hours...) you never use a normal distribution because of the potential for negative values in the left tail. You would rule that out by default. The title itself implies that the author has this misconception.
When building a plant you can only build the same plant once. When building software you can keep iterating on the same software forever. How do you know when to start over and when to keep going? There seems to be no consensus on that?

I did do some followup research. The math in its complex reasoning "tracks" but when I asked it to do 4 digit x 4 digit multiplication, it got most of it right except for a weird random digit error in the middle (?!) of the correct answer, lol. Now I want to run CLUTTR against Claude since it seems nobody has published that yet.

JWT's really can span this middle ground. They're helpful in answering the who-are-you question without resorting to elaborate db work. Even middle-ground monoliths are often deployed across more than one independently operating web server (say, JVM processes) and JWT's ensure that each server answers the who-are-you question with the same answer - the code is the same, and although the process space is different on each web server, the answer is the same. So chained requests, with API.REQ.1 to Server 1 and API.REQ.2 to Server 2 will actually work. Maybe session mechanics will work, but what if you don't actually have a session and just a bunch of API requests?
Their phones search for known WiFi networks whenever they’re not currently connected to WiFi. You can monitor and log this traffic. Many (most?) modern smartphones randomize their MAC address when not connected, but a few years ago you could look for repeat visitors this way, too.

I had one taken out earlier this year. The tooth had to be cut into tiny bits to be extracted. No pain. Not really that different from a regular dental check, aside from the sound of the tools they used, and the fact it took 20 minutes. Tell them you want a radio on and focus on the music.

Show HN: Turn CSV Files into SQL Statements for Quick Database Transfers
This package lets you unload a CSV from a warehouse, turn that CSV into SQL statements creating a temp table and inserting data with a CLI command, and copy those SQL statements into your query editor so you can start using the data in a different warehouse. Useful for when you need to join data together that's stored in two separate data warehouses (e.g. finance and product data).
Thanks for the link. What an amusing band-aid.

It's weird that they're mixing ReFS into it, as NTFS is not at all the problem. It feels like they're either using this as a random opportunity to air ReFS again, or as a decoy to make it sound like the dev partition is a fancy special filesystem optimization, rather than the more likely reality of it being duct tape on their weird VFS layer, likely doing away with stuff like in-line Windows Defender I/O interception as all the usage warnings and corp group policy references would suggest to be the case...

On dot matrix and impact (like daisywheel) printers, there were sprockets along the side edges of the paper so that the tractor part of the printer could advance the paper after a linefeed.

Not in the App Store, and I believe on recent iOS versions not even with reasonable performance (due to a lack of JIT and/or hardware virtualization support, I believe).

Even if it’s possible, the point is that iPad OS really feels like it’s intentionally holding back the power user experience for the sake of being more accessible to new users in a way that e.g. macOS doesn’t.

Suppose you found that they auto connected to mcdonald's wifi. Now what? Are you going to stake out the local mcdonald's on the off chance that the thieves hangs out there? Given how long people keep their phones (years) and never clear their wifi network lists, all this would tell you is that they visited the given business at some point in time. It doesn't tell you whether they frequent that place.

Ireland leading up to 2008 basically ended up trying that, with ghost estates that then got knocked. China has also basically done this.

It obviously doesn't work as housing, but even its value as an investment is at least nominally tied to the fact that someone, somewhere could value it as a house. Otherwise, eventually it's found the emperor has no clothes and it comes tumbling down.
AFAIK, PostgreSQL doesn't provide a way to get the IDF of a term, which makes its ranking function pretty limited. tf-idf (and its varians, like Okapi BM25) are kinda table stakes for an information retrieval system IMO.

I'm not saying PostgreSQL's functionality is useless, but if you need ranking based on the relative frequency of a term in a corpus, then I don't believe PostgreSQL can handle that unless something has changed in the last few years. Usually the reason to use something like Lucene or Tantivy is precisely for its ranking support that incorporates inverse document frequency.

To be fair, apple has a similar approach, you can't fully turn off Bluetooth or wifi if you press on their corresponding widgets (they only become inactive), you have to go to the settings to turn them off.
As for location, you can't even do so without going to the settings.
Any reader worth using should have a settings or preferences section where poll interval can be configured, which should address the main issue in the article.

See, I don't mind UB on signed integer overflow for example. You make it sound like a terrible terrible thing. I know it's not defined (and there is a rationale for keeping it undefined even assuming 2's complement). So I don't rely on it.

Quite honestly I don't recall signed overflow to happen, like ever. It's probably happened at some point but I really don't recall. I'm not trying to make it happen because I don't have a use for it. It's not useful anyway to have a number wrap around from e.g. 2^31-1 to -2^31. It is useful however to wrap from UINT_MAX to 0 (modular arithmetic), and this is in fact defined.

Of course, if you write "if (x < x + 20)" and turn the optimizer to -O7, then the compiler will run the body unconditionally, even though assuming signed overflow the test should fail when x equals INT_MAX. Woah, I'm crushed. That condition is exactly what I needed to write.

> Sure. C++ is such a bad language that most of your bug fixing is stuff which wouldn't even happen in a better language. Rust's std::mem::uninitialized<T>() is ludicrously dangerous, so it's deprecated (as well as unsafe) and yet C++ not only does this, it's silently the default for the built-in types. Hilarious. My sense is that a correct fix for this won't land for C++ 26 although maybe Barry can get the stars to align and prove me wrong.

I mean I could just write "#error Unimplemented" to get a compile time error but I'm not bothering. It seems what you describe as a terrible memory safety bug is simply my way of browsing to the next piece of code that I need to work on. Go figure...

Are you still developing C/C++ code? I get the impression you've given up on it and have jumped on the Rust train a hundred percent. At least there is a huge disconnect between the pictures you paint and my own development experience from daily practice.

But to make it clear again, I'm obviously not opposed to having the compiler issue an error whenever it's able to detect UB statically. In fact, this is how it should be.
heheh, I guess it's (also) a sure sign of my age.

Building an Autonomous AI Agent with LangChain and PostgreSQL Pgvector
Where I am there’s been a huge increase in houses being bought for cash by equity hedge funds, like 25% of houses going on the market. Nearby Kushner bought hundreds of houses in Baltimore. The impact of this is that house prices soared because no one can compete against a multi-billion-dollar company to buy a house, which artificially pushes up prices.

Secondly, I’ve done a lot of engagement with policy makers and builders and you are not going to get affordable housing being built if you relax zoning laws (which I’m in favor of across the whole city). Instead, what is supposed to happen is that the older properties become less attractive and hence their prices (or rent) are supposed to fall. That’s the theory anyhow. Anyway, the builders all say there is no financial incentive for them to build affordable housing, they make so much more on luxury buildings. You’ll only get it if the local government does it themselves and most in America are reluctant to get involved (it’s why they like saying 15% of a complex should be ‘affordable’ because they don’t have to do anything about it, the builders do, and it’s too small an impact to fix the issue).

I’m not talking about the pub sub cluster.

If you have a pub sub cluster that you push revocation details into, and running servers subscribe to that feed and then track a rolling list of tokens that would otherwise still be active but have been revoked, you are effectively storing a revocation database on every edge node.
My personal progression for hosting Flask has been:

I doubt the DMX part is coupled that closely to the IR. No one is bit-banging their IR protocol (or even its baseband) over DMX — even if it could work, the lighting console would need extremely special support to speak the protocol.

The DMX part would be like any other light: a pair of channels controls the coordinates to which the transmitter’s gimbal aims, one channel selects a color, one channel selects a command, a channel or two set some other parameters, etc. And the electronics in the transmitter unit convert all this to actual servo commands and to the encoded IR signal. There wouldn’t be a channel to select the active vs inactive state of the IR modulator, as entertaining as that would be. (DMX has a maximum frame rate of 44Hz. Following some links, the PixMob bits are 694.44 microseconds long. RS485 is plenty fast to carry the baseband signal, but DMX isn’t.)

(It’s been awhile, but I have operated DMX-controlled moving lights. And yes, of course I’m speculating.)
Why should this be a whole new product and not just a library around S3 sdk?

From what I understand it is in AltStore which is installable without another device in UE and still installable running AltServer on a separate computer.

Annoying I understand. But fairly easy to anyone motivated to get it.

As for the performance they say:

"The lack of hardware virtualization on Apple A-chips means that even for ARM code we must re-compile it with JIT. Therefore performance would never reach the levels possible with KVM. There is also no support for GPU virtualization so that means no DirectX or OpenGL. This makes most modern games non-playable."

I guess it would be at least good enough to run an IDE, git and have terminal access provided any serious compilation is done remotely and not locally. And might even be good enough to run some lightweight containers.

EDIT: seeing that on ios 14 devices it needs to be jailbroken, so I guess it is best used on "obsolete" models.
