Very distant objects need very little speed to orbit, take for instance a geosynchronous orbit that orbits every 24 hours, which enables it to hover over the same part of the equator indefinitely.

With a braking burn from geosync orbit your orbital period would keep decreasing from 24 hours as your orbital velocity keeps increasing. The ISS and similar low earth orbits have a period of 90 minutes.

Keep in mind if trying to speed up/catch another object you can just use more thrust and keep adjusting your angle. But it's fuel intensive and when you stop thrusting you might well be in a crazy orbit, very different than the target you are trying to catch.

There's a game called Osmos on most platforms that turns this kind of thing into a game, I recommend it. As mentioned elsewhere there's kerbel space program, however there's much more than orbital mechanics involved.
It sounds like you think Republicans are in general against government regulation. However, there is a history of Republicans increasing government regulation on private businesses, most recently around private doctors providing health care for women. Republicans say they are pro small government, but their actions clearly prove otherwise.

Also, trying to strong arm the media is well within the Republican political ideology, especially under the guidance of their current presidential nominee.

Static site generators vary greatly in complexity. I typically use a Makefile or Bash script that calls Pandoc for all the markdown pages. Also, writing html by hand is not really necessary in any circumstance. You can write the markdown directly in the html files, use a CDN for markdown conversion, and you're done.

The author is referring to a particular generator, which I agree can be a ridiculous process.
I mostly agree with you, but since you ask... :)

I think one weak spot is the assumption that the physical hardware for speech (e.g. lips & vocal chords) are to some extent necessary and sufficient for language. I think we know with pretty high degree of certainty (by arguments parallel to your other points) that <i>specialized brain circuits</i> are key to language use, and the physical means are secondary.

You may also want to consider why you implicitly draw a line at "mammals" and if this is really justified. The line might belong at "primates" or at "vertebrates" or...the whole idea of a line might be mistaken.

Also, kudos for inviting criticism. If more people did that, we'd all be better off (at least, I believe this to be the case).
The lack of status bits on the auto-cal is really unfortunate.

Turning it off during a UART transaction definitely "fixes" it.

I'm somewhat tempted to do the manual calibration the HSI instead.
Privy | Onsite NYC (Preferred) or Remote (US/Canada) | Hybrid Product/Eng, Frontend, Fullstack, Backend Roles | Full-Time | https://privy.io

Hi, I'm Asta, CTO at the digital identity startup Privy. We build an authentication and cryptographic key management SDK that hundreds of companies integrate in order to onboard users (7M+ in the past year) onto products built with blockchain infra and distributed systems.

We believe that when users own cryptographic keys, we shift the status quo so that users control more of their data and assets online. Privacy is fundamentally about ownership and revocation. User experience is our North Star, because users won't compromise on UX.

We're a small, high-ownership team building a product with real usage (>2M MAUs, massive transaction volume) that developers love. We've raised $26M from Sequoia & Paradigm. We ship constantly - multiple production releases per week.

Well, that hoisting is contrary to what uecker says is the standard intent.

I think that discussing about omitting branches is a red herring, there is no expectation that the compiler should emit branches or basic blocks that match the source code even in the boring, non-ub case.

The only constraint to compiler optimizations is the as-if rule and the as-if rule only requires that side effects and their order be preserved for conforming programs. Uecker says that in addition to conforming programs, side effects and their ordering also need to be preserved up to the UB.

I do of course also find it unsurprising that the idiv is hoisted, but, as the only way that the standard can constraint compilers is through observable behaviour, I don't see how you can standardize rules where that form of hoisting is allowed while the other are not.

In fact the compiler could easily optimize that loop while preserving the ordering by transforming it to this:

extern volatile int x;
int ub(int d, int c) {
int r;
x += 3;
r += x;
int _div = d / c;
r += _div;

for (int 2 = 0; i < 100; ++i) {
x += 3;
r += x;
r += _div;
}
return r;
}

This version preserves ordering while still optimizing away the div. In fact this would also work if you replaced the volatile with a function call, which currently GCC doesn't optimize at all.

I don't know why this was downvoted. Even if P!=NP there are still other assumptions of hardness baked into modern cryptography which might turn out false. The abelian hidden subgroup problem (which both RSA and elliptic curves are instances) may turn out to have a classical solution.
Some context:

1. The Fedearl court system is divided into circuits [1]. These circuits can be (and are) organized differently to each other. They generally are divided into Districts (eg the Southern or Eastern District of NY) and may be further divided into divisions, usually with the idea that a person bringing a suit is relatively geographically close to the court. This unfortunately is the basis for "judge shopping" where you basically know what judge you'll get if you file in a certain area;

2. Florida is in the 11th Circuit. Texas is in the 5th Circuit;

3. The Circuits tend to reflect the politics of their constitutent states thanks to the Blue Slip system [2]. So to appoint a Texas judge, you need essentially a sponsor in a US senator from Texas. The politics will tend to align;

4. Circuits are divided into Distrct Courts and Appellate Courts (ignoring magistrate judges for now). A decision by a Federal district court is not binding to any other court. If a ruling is appealed it goes to that circuit's appellate court. Whatever that appellate court rules is binding to that circuit;

5. There are 9 Supreme Court ("SCOTUS") justices. SCOTUS has absolute discretion in deciding what cases to take. It requires 4 of the justices deciding to take any case. This can be (and has) done strategically, specifically to take or avoid taking a case when a particularly ideological block of the court feels they'll get a decision they do or do not want.

The court is, and always has been, political.

6. One way to force SCOTUS's hand is if different circuit appellate courts rule differently on the same fundamental issue. That's basically what happened here between the 5th and 11th Circuits.

Both Texas and Florida had passed differnet laws against censoring or "deplatforming" political candidates in the wake of, for example, former President Trump being banned from Twitter in the wake of Jan 6. The court said, essentially unanimously, that neither circuit had considered the First Amendment argument against these laws, which is actually pretty wild.

It's worth adding that the First Amendment (like the entire Constitution) is a restriction of government actions. If this wasn't clear enough, the first five words of the First Amendment are, quite literally:

> Congress shall make no law ...

It's worth adding that the 14th Amendment later extended restrictions on government actions to state and local governments.

Both the Texas and Florida laws should've failed immediately on First Amendment grounds. SCOTUS simply sent the cases back to the respective courts to consider this issue. I suspect we'll see these cases again as one or both of these courts will do mental contortions to decide that these laws have no First Amendment issue.

I think this goes right back to the parent's point.

I presume you personally could set that up. I probably could too. But 99% of the world isn't tech experts and can't do that. Or fix it if something goes wrong. Even if you can, you might just want to go to bed and not have to debug a broken assistant integration first.

The benefit of cloud integration, for that 99%, is that there is a professional out there to keep it working.
Static site generators are so simple and powerful it blows my mind that anyone would suggest plain html is a suitable replacement unless your site is like 5 pages. They're so simple to build too, so if you're miffed about bloat you could throw together a simple md -> html system in a few hours, if not minutes.
Mars is not strictly worse than the peak of Everest even if it’s overall worse. Moss can survive extremely low temperatures as long as it occasionally gets above freezing but it can’t grow on ice.

Lack of oxygen on Mars precludes flowering plants but not every organism needs oxygen.
There still are important distinctions. RNNs have constant memory while transformers expand their memory with each new token. They are related, but one could in theory process an unbounded sequence while the other cannot because of growing memory usage.
I'd be interested to see how well these fine-tuned models compare to Claude 3 Haiku (or one of the more expensive Claude models) with a larger set of examples.

The Claude models all have a 200,000 token limit and respond _really_ well to examples - you can feed them in as chat JSON message pairs of user input / ideal assistant output.

Haiku is dirt cheap for this kind of thing and with 200,000 tokens you can probably provide a dozen or so examples.
> he makes no attempt to hide that

Does he not? His speeches promise a "great America again!" to the conned masses, when the reality it's "Put me back into power so I can stay out of jail, and grift, for another 4 years at least.".

It would be interesting if one could put an actual "what I actually want" translator next to Trump like in this sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkAK9QRe4ds .. not that the conned masses would hear it and get a "Wow! He's a conman!" moment; they've projected onto him their hopes, dreams, and the idea that he will be the one to avenge their angers.

(BTW In Obama's post-presidential book he lamented about the same thing in 2008, that his voters were placing their hopes of all sorts of change on him, and that his campaign/supporters were inadvertendly creating cult-of-personality around him.)

> London's tube system map

Perhaps you live in London, a city with many subway lines and stations that makes many places easy to reach, just like a repository with commits that makes it easy to find where something was introduced.

I live in São Paulo, a city 2 times bigger than London but with a smaller subway map. Few places have a subway station near them. Finding the nearest station is only part of the problem, as we need to find a way to go from the station to where we need to be. Just like a repository that uses squash merges.

Well, it’s much more independent than being a pro athlete. By design you only have one to two chances to go pro at a sport. You can’t go back in time to your prime playing age, you can’t go back in time to train at a different sport during your youth.

For business owners, starting a business is a matter of filing a few pieces of paperwork. Starting a business is quite literally an independent event from starting the business prior.

GitHub uses Git. Git itself is ill suited to Google's size. Years ago Google has tried something called git5 which aimed to bring git to the Google monorepo. It failed miserably because Git itself isn't scalable. Lest you think they didn't try hard enough, Facebook tried the same thing and came to the exact same conclusion that Git isn't scalable. Nowadays both companies use mercurial which is much better. They couldn't even switch to Git let alone a forge based on Git.

Yea, me too. If I follow the advice of GitHubs dependabot screaming about exploits in the markdown renderer, then it breaks 100%. I just had to silence it.
Fixing greenhouse gases requires focusing on the largest % contributors, not tiny little amounts. It's like optimizing code only used on startup instead of runtime. See https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/global-greenhouse-gas-overv...
If you have a public facing Internet server, you're probably already running something like blocklistd or fail2ban. They reduce abuse, but they don't do anything to avoid an issue like this except from naive attackers.

More resourceful attackers could automate attempted exploit using a huge botnet, and it'd likely look similar to the background of ssh brute force bots that we already see 24/7/365.

I guess we then have to bet… Is it more likely that NSA has a secret large-scale quantum computer, or that they have a secret vulnerability in post-quantum algorithms? And does it matter anyway if they have a secret backdoor in your OS :)
The point is that a lot of secrets need to remain secrets for many years. If some government found a way to break elliptic curve in the same way that the number field seive broke rsa (hence we now need 2048-bit keys rather than 256bit keys we were using in the 90s) we’d be fucked for many years to come as all secrets are leaked.

So there may not be quantum computers now. But if there’s going to be in 20years we need our crypto to be resilient now.
I´m not an expert, but, I remember reading somewhere that Mars does not have enough gravity to support an atmosphere suitable for humans, most water molecules can evaporate "into space". Due to Mars lower gravity 3.71 m/s^2 (roughly 38% of earth´s), its more feasible for "normal" molecules to achieve escape velocity and thus bleed into space....
Managed systems make a lot of sense in small companies, where keeping head count down is the key to agility & communication. For personally funded projects it's never worth the cost and for big teams (100+) its typically worth the savings to self-host IF you can find good people. Low quality/rushed/novice self-hosting is almost never a good idea for any size company.
Per https://www.qualys.com/2024/07/01/cve-2024-6387/regresshion.... they developed the exploit on Debian and Ubuntu on i386, but I don't believe there's any reason to think that it wouldn't work on other architectures. There are some things that suggest to my non-expert reading that it's harder to exploit on 64-bit architectures, and other libc implementations may be immune, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Raspberry Pi OS (AKA Debian with some modifications) on a Pi was 32-bit and vulnerable.
According to the linked post there are PQ algorithms that will fit this niche:

> This variety of different trade-offs gives developers a lot of flexibility. For an embedded device where speed and bandwidth are important but ROM space is cheap, McEliece might be a great option for key establishment. For server farms where processor time is cheap but saving a few bytes of network activity on each connection can add up to real savings, NTRUSign might be a good option for signatures. Some algorithms even provide multiple parameter sets to address different needs: SPHINCS+ includes parameter sets for “fast” signatures and “small” signatures at the same security level.

> Anyone arguing that EVs are somehow more polluting in all kinds of ways, like tire pollution all of a sudden, are probably being bamboozled by the oil & gas industry.

This is reasonable, but the fact is, EVs are only slightly less polluting and should not be considered as a reliable replacement for the petrol cars and solution to all our problems.

That's why I never use ANY tools like this without getting them working in something like GitHub Actions (which is effectively free these days, and all the good LLMs know how to write YAML workflow files for it.)

If you outsource the running of these tools to a CI service you don't have to worry about setting them up on new machines.

As mentioned elsewhere here, is -D sufficient to avoid exploitation, or is -e necessary as well?

$ man sshd | sed -n '/ -[De]/,/^$/p'
-D When this option is specified, sshd will not

allows easy monitoring of sshd.

of the system log.

RHEL9 is also 64-bit only, and we see from the notice:

"we have started to work on an amd64 exploit, which is much harder because of the stronger ASLR."

On top of writing the exploit to target 32-bit environments, this also requires a DSA key that implements multiple calls to free().

There is a section on "Rocky Linux 9" near the end of the linked advisory where unsuccessful exploit attempts are discussed.
BUT - at one point recently Tesla had a market value greater than the top 10 legacy automakers combined. It's simply insane for anyone to have thought Tesla was that valuable. For Tesla to be that valuable, just about everybody would have to be driving a Tesla. Tesla has too few models and customer tastes are too varied for that to have the remotest possibility.
