Your entire argument is basically "how dare someone have something I don't" and "people shouldn't seek to mitigate risk".

This won't get far with me, and seems to me to be a pointless response.

Are you seriously of the thought that owning more than one home is wrong? And renting it to someone that cannot afford to buy a home is wrong? If so, why?

Do you get mad if that person just leaves the money in the bank, and the second home isn't built?

Are you mad people may make more than you? Do you believe everyone should just be given all the same stuff?

This is essentiall your argument.

How does that function, societally? Magic?

The key was that by publishing the BIOS source in the open, it was hard to prove that you weren't exposed to the source code when you wrote your own BIOS.

The clean-room approach was a neat hack that solved the problem, but it was hard to find people that had never seen the IBM source and could prove it.

Here in the UK, it's considered incredibly bad news because it destroys the foundations of houses, and is well-nigh impossible to eradicate.
> There's clearly a gap between imaginary noble okupas addressing housing crisis via occupation of unused bank property and reality of weed smoking anarchists and their collaborating deoccupying mafia harassing mostly not-so-rich middle class, who can't afford the security measures the rich can.

Ah yes, the not-so-rich middle class who can afford to own houses they leave vacant.

Is it your opinion that smoking weed makes someone's political opinions disingenuous or that smoking weed means they deserve to be homeless?

What's your solution to the lack of housing? Anarcho-capitalist HN is always worried about the unintended consequences of laws but never seems to be concerned about the intended consequences of the law, or have any other ways to solve that problem. It begins to sound like you just don't care about homelessness.
From what I’ve seen, for some reason, the people who buy a Mac are not the people who game. College students buying for schoolwork, business people buying for (I assume?) excellent battery life and resulting portability, and graphics/video/music creators. The two Venn circles just don’t overlap.
LLM based AIs have lots of "features" which are kind of synonymous with "concepts" - these can be anything from `the concept of an apostrophe in the word don't`, to `"George Wash" is usually followed by "ington" in the context of early American History`. Inside of the LLMs neural network, these are mapped to some circuitry-in-software-esque paths.

We don't really have a good way of understanding how these features are generated inside of the LLMs or how their circuitry is activated when outputting them, or why the LLMs are following those circuits. Because of this, we don't have any way to debug this component of an LLM - which makes them harder to improve. Similarly, if LLMs/AIs ever get advanced enough, we'll want to be able to identify if they're being wilfully deceptive towards us, which we can't currently do. For these reasons, we'd like to understand what is actually happening in the neural network to produce & output concepts. This domain of research is usually referred to as "interpretability".

OpenAI (and also DeepMind and Anthropic) have found a few ways to inspect the inner circuitry of the LLMs, and reveal a handful of these features. They do this by asking questions of the model, and then inspecting which parts of the LLM's inner circuitry "lights up". They then ablate (turn off) circuitry to see if those features become less frequently used in the AIs response as a verification step.

The graphs and highlighted words are visual representations of concepts that they are reasonably certain about - for example, the concept of the word "AND" linking two parts of a sentence together highlights the word "AND".

Neel Nanda is the best source for this info if you're interested in interpretability (IMO it's the most interesting software problem out there at the moment), but note that his approach is different to OpenAI's methodology discussed in the post: https://www.neelnanda.io/mechanistic-interpretability
> If a pointer cast performed in safe code can cause unsoundness in unsafe code elsewhere, that's a bug in the unsafe code.

Converting from pointer to integer (as in the given example) cannot possibly lead to unsafe code that would not have already been unsafe with an arbitrary integer value. There's nothing unsafe about accessing an address without dereferencing it.

Casting to a pointer from an integer should probably be considered generally unsafe.
My mom's PC is plenty fast, and works flawlessly. She has an i7 4790k.

She probably wouldn't mind upgrading to windows 11, but she can't because MS decided that you must have TPM.

Windows 10 will be EOL in a year.

These companies will bs you about how eco friendly they are, but they expect you to throw a perfectly fine computer into the trash.
The +=1 in the above code is defined behavior. Unlike in C, the Rust compiler is not allowed to assume that overflow does not happen, and must restrict its optimizations accordingly. The undefined behavior in this code would be a result of the dereference in the next line. If there existed a check to ensure that overflow had not occurred prior to the dereference, then this code would be well-defined. And because overflow is defined behavior in Rust, the aforementioned overflow check could not be optimized away, as it could in C.
People with OCD wouldn't need to keep checking things since they could always look back on what they did if they feel like it. And probably, they won't even do that in most cases.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that.

> There's no evidence they'd be good at it and if you look at their GitHub, they're not particularly good at maintaining actual codebases in the first place.

Well that's another complaint then, but it doesn't detract away from my initial complaints.

> Why do you need Khronos to "bless" a particular library anyway?

Because now we're going to have a million different wrapper libraries to do everything, or you're going to be stuck with the absurd Vulkan API. It was already annoying enough that you had to have different wrappers to abstract the GUI components, now people have to have another mediocre abstraction in addition to the GUI crap.

I suppose you could argue "that's fine", and you're free to have that opinion, but I think it's worse

> Also they didn't get rid of OpenGL. You can still use it. It will probably be the most widely supported graphics API for a long time.

They're not doing new versions of OpenGL. Yes, the drivers will support them for the foreseeable future but they will get increasingly out of date.
I'm not so sure about that. Many people who write software have learned not to care about anything other than developing for the platform(s) where the users are, in the most expedient way possible. So unless there really is a mass user exodus from Windows, which I doubt will happen, we'll continue to develop for Windows.
Does this mean that it could be a good practice to release the auto encoder that was trained on a neural network to explain its outputs? Like all open models in hugging face could have this as a useful accompaniment?

vkguide is a great way to get a feel of modern Vulkan. Maybe it’ll be still to complex for you - then it’s okay to say on OpenGL or learn some WebGPU.

I started learning Vulkan as an experiment and it seemed to work out well, so that’s why I wrote this article. :)
Exactly. So you must use Rust's encapsulation features like modules and visibility to ensure that any particular piece of unsafe code _cannot_ receive a pointer that can't be proven to be valid.

Microsoft's full-screen reminders – upgrade to Windows 11 are back

Yup, and in egregious cases, email hn@ycombinator.com. The latter has the downside that it depends on how online we happen to be, but the upside of guaranteed message delivery. If the email is short and includes a link and a brief statement of what's being reported, it's often easy to do something quickly, even if it takes us (er, me) longer to reply.
I'm sure they'll continue to play games with updates that make the big warnings even bigger and scarier.

In the meantime, they told me in 2015 that Windows 10 is the last version of Windows,

"Right now we're releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we're all still working on Windows 10" [1]. That came from a Microsoft employee, was widely reported, and not corrected; so it may not have been an official statement, but it's not like it came from nowhere. My plan is still to move to FreeBSD on the desktop once Windows 10 is dead; but we'll see what happens to my plan when it comes time to actually do it.

I can't even tell you which Windows is on my gaming laptop, much less what features separate it from other releases.

Off the top of my head (no cheating) I don't even know which new features have appeared in the last 5 versions of iOS and I develop for that and actually watch the WWDC videos. Even when deprecation warnings pop up in Xcode, they're utterly forgettable.

Normal users have even less reason to care about an OS than devs do.

If you're young and are lucky enough to not have tinnitus, here are the pros and cons of a lifetime of good audio hygiene. I'm old and retired and don't have it. My ears are incredibly important: would much rather be deaf than blind.

I love loud music right down to my core, but when I was in my early 20s it was already clear that many of my musical heroes were going deaf. The general rule is not to listen to anything in your headphones so loud that you can't detect conversation nearby. Another principle is if people can your music on headphones from more than a yard or two away, it's too loud.

So what it cost me was not cranking up my favorite music when listening. I grew accustomed a much lower volume than I enjoy. It wasn't hard, like getting used to decaf coffee or Diet Coke over sugary Coke. I go to a few concerts a year and don't ear earplugs.

Overall it's been very worth it and the cost has been minimal.

I upgraded my Windows 7 to 10 (due to Chrome-based browsers weren't being updated anymore for Windows 7, and there was the WebP exploit) using DISM, and I learn that you can also upgrade Windows 10 to Enterprise, which is a little less car-salesman-ly than Pro (no web stuff on the Start Menu/search for example):

https://woshub.com/upgrade-windows-10-edition-without-reinst...

On this Windows edition I haven't seen any nudges to upgrade to 11.

hallucination solution?
A couple of people I know are still on Windows 7 as their main driver, due to the degraded experience on the newer versions. Including, to my initial surprise, a security researcher, and not for security-research purposes. Attack vectors nowadays are almost exclusively through email attachments or getting users to click on malware links. I predict that those staying on Windows 10 will be about as safe as these Windows 7 users.

Mayba a dumb idea, but given we have regenerative braking on cars, why not harness the heat energy produced while landing to store and/or use the energy generated for whatever mechanism that might help counter the heat.
No atmosphere would be much easier.

There's enough energy in a Tesla battery to for the Tesla to reach escape velocity. If you could simply drive at max acceleration (and the car didn't fall apart, and the tires continued to have grip, and a million other reasons why this is impossible) eventually you'd reach escape velocity and still have some percentage left.

In a more realistic sense, a long railgun type system would be very practical in a no-atmosphere environment, and then not being subject to the tyranny of the rocket equation, you could launch whatever you wanted. Enough fuel to decelerate is no problem.

Yeah. Even though it might seem I’m 100% enjoying Vulkan, I still wish there was something closer to OpenGL and which was supported by GPU manufacturers. Other 3d party graphics frameworks are not bad, but you don’t feel the same confidence in their future in the same way as you did about OpenGL.

Got that reminder a couple of months ago when doing a fresh 7 install on an old Core 2 Quad workstation laptop.

Was going to rebuild it since the player community is still around, but never got around to it, and let it go as well.
Man you aren't kidding. It has been going on for a long time now. I work on vintage computers for "fun" and recently got a couple of those HP "bubble" systems from the 90s. What a pain in the arse to disassemble. They have to make the PC so convoluted to take apart and have multiple parts where a normal PC just has one. (Ex. Front panel is multiple pieces of brittle plastic, extra metal pieces that are overkill and are sharp so you always cut yourself).

I have a stack of P4 and Core 2 era machines that just have some random failure and its almost not worth my time anymore to fix them other than curiosity. P4 and core2 are basically worthless but HP P4 and Core2 systems? No one wants that trash.
> Casting to a pointer from an integer should probably be considered generally unsafe.

The pointer can't be assumed to be valid anyway without other guarantees. It could have been valid at some point, and then freed at another point, and is now dangling.

You'll notice that std::ptr::null and std::ptr::dangling are also safe functions. This is intentional - the language designers are telling you that you cannot rely on the fact that a piece of data is of a pointer type to trust that it's valid.
