Is that strictly true? If you want it as thin as today's flagship phones, sure, but if you just go for pocketability, it might not be. There are some fantastically compact, perfectly good prime lenses out there. The top end point-and-shoot lines haven't been updated in ages, but even the old ones were are a pretty damned good compromise.
It's not very clear to me why in paragraph "Truncation matters" it is claimed that the strlen variant is necessarily better than the strlcpy variant. the strlcpy variant only scan the source and destination string once in the fast case (no reallocation needed), while the strlen variant needs to scan the source string at least twice. I guess in the common case you have to enlarge the destination a few times, then once it's big enough you don't have to enlarge it anymore and always hit the fast case, os it makes sense to optimize for that.

It might also be that in some programs with different access patterns that doesn't happen and it makes sense to optimize for the slow case, sure, but the author should acknowledge that variability instead of being adamant on what's better, even to the point of calling "schizo" the solution it doesn't understand. In my experience the pattern of optimizing the fast path makes a lot of sense.

BTW, the strlcpy/"schizo" variant could stand some improvement: realloc() already copies the part of the string within the original size of the buffer, so you can start copying at that point. Also, once you know that the destination is big enough to receive a full copy of the source you can use good old strcpy(). Cargo cult and random "linters"/"static checkers" will tell you shouldn't, but you know that it's a perfectly fine function to call once you've ensured that its prerequisites are satisfied.
Doesn't seem to mention CDNA?
"4 days of sleepless afternoons", love it! I was laughing out loud multiple times. Keep writing, please!
I have an NX Mini (which isn't exactly the same as the regular NX line) which has a "1 inch" sensor and a 3-lens interchangeable system. With the 9mm fixed lens it's as pocketable as a phone, but with a flip-out screen, a real flash and otherwise much better quality. With the 9-27mm zoom lens it's even a reasonable portrait camera. I haven't found one of the 17mm f/1.8 lenses, they're pretty rare.

Anyway, I really like that little thing. With a C-mount lens adapter I can use surveillance camera lenses which is pretty fun.

The older AMD GCN had 64-wide wavefront, but the newer AMD GPUs "RDNA" support both 64 and 32 wavefront, and this is configurable at runtime. It appears the narrower wavefronts are better suited for games in general.

Not sure what is the situation with "CDNA", which is the compute-oriented evolution of "GCN", i.e. whether CDNA is 64-wavefront only or dual like RNDA.

I was totally unaware of these situation. I heard about the distro before and its focus on apple laptop, and even use of rust to code drivers, but that's it.

Why would anyone be upset with people sharing FLOW?
one of the main reasons I use c++ as a "better c" and use the string library in embedded (or an embedded optimized version) all time, along with basic containers and algos, and "simple" classes and inheritance. Yeah I know there are c string libraries out there that also solve the problem, and even wrote a couple of my own over the years for "minimal size to functionality" ratio.
Wow this is pretty amazing... I imagine your proxy bill must be pretty huge! I always wondered how companies like Clearview scraped Instagram etc at scale. Do you add user to a queue, get all of that users posts, then add everyone they follow/everyone that is following them to the queue, and repeat? With Twitter I know from experience you can predict what the next snowflake IDs will be so in theory you could enumerate the whole site. If I recall correctly Tiktok has a similar ID scheme but I think people weren't able to figure out what some of the last bits represented.
I think the RAW photo size is the constraint here.

If I'm out shooting an event or something it's not uncommon for me to get 500-1000 frames. Multiply that by say 50MB each and that's a huge chunk of data at least for some cell plans.

I'm an amateur photographer though so it's not a requirement for me. Maybe a professional wouldn't mind writing the expense of mobile data off as a cost of business.
My point was about attack angles. The original comment said, that for example, you could exfiltrate data with the right prompt attack.

To which the reply was "they'll just make the LLM able to better defend itself".

And my point was "the attackers will learn to build better prompts, too".
Could you elaborate on what you mean by 'secured'?
If the discussion is about the interesting topic I will start from top and go to bottom while collapsing discussions which I have read with “-”.
The "genders" analogy is a conceit of this article's author alone. It is not what any researcher uses. The remarkable feature of these birds is not the behavioral divergence but the underlying genetic factors driving dissortative mating. If any analogy is appropriate, it's "sex" not "gender."

It is the standard for all security domains - police, army, etc.

I would reword it to say that security should work for the oblivious user, and we should not depend on good user behavior (or fail to defend against malicious or negligent behavior).

I would still say the ideal is for the security interface to prevent problems - like having doors so we don't fall out of cars, or ABS to correct brake inputs.

I'm very disappointed that (Number four will shock you) wasn't some kind of break statement or event handling.
i guess that's what spikes interest. although strlcpy was first introduced in openbsd 2.4, 26 years ago! back then as a drop in replacement for strcpy.

so yeah, good things need time to adopt, no wonder it's not up-to-date tech, lol.

and because of NIH-syndrome we now got lot's of strXcpy functions to choose from.
It looks like you agree with the notion that it's not discrimination leading to lower representation of women in tech, but rather that women choose not to enter tech fields? If so, then nothing you're writing here contradicts my previous comment.

If you think that some cultural factors are causing women not to choose to enter technology, that's a separate claim from discrimination happening within the tech field. Go ahead and abolish cheerleading if you think that's going to increase women's representation in software above 20%. But until that happens, we're going to see most companies hiring female developers at a rate of about 20%.

> This is what happens with gender inequality. Girls get dolls and join cheerleading teams. Social pressure requires them to learn about makeup and fashion, to socialize and to participate in housekeeping. Popular culture maintains stereotypes, social media define the acceptable behavior and punish those who don’t fit. Same happens to boys, of course. Not everyone who is subject to such pressure can grow as a person able to make a free choice. If we deprive children of the free choice, what is it if not gender discrimination?

(Emphasis mine). It's preferences. Girls get dolls because they play with dolls way more than trucks, and parents buy toys accordingly. Companies do indeed try to build and market trucks and mechanical toys to girls, and dolls to boys but those efforts aren't very fruitful. Social norms are emergent behavior from innate preferences. It's not society pressuring girls to play with dolls. It's girls exerting their own preferences, and society reacting to those preferences. You can't just assume that it's the preferences that are downstream from society and not the other way around.

Furthermore, we can test your hypothesis that it's society creating preferences. If disparities in behavior were not innate, then children raised in carefully-curated environments to avoid any hints of gender roles should produce boys and girls with the same distribution of interests. But experiments to achieve this fail: https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/swedish-preschools...

Again: the assumption that any differences in behavior between the genders is due to discrimination or social pressure isn't the antidote to gender-essentialism. It's just a different flavor of gender-essentialism.

Thanks you for posting your story in details, as someone who's wife had oligometastasis on her spine from breast cancer (nothing compared to you, but incredibly stressful nonetheless) you give me hope that when Ribociclib stop working, M.A.I.D. is not the next step.

Fun fact: I did the UI Design, frontend/backend web development, database, servers, scraping and everything else by myself. It took me few months but i guess its worth it.
There was probably a more tight-knit/closely-connected (?) startup ecosystem back in the day when TC was a thing. Today it's probably too varied and large and has too many subsets.

Why not? Where is this restriction laid out in the Constitution? The Presidential Oath of Office even says he'll defend the Constitution "against all enemies, foreign and domestic". As we've discussed, precedent for "enemy" seems to be "DOJ writes themselves a permission slip".

Absurd setup? Yes. That's precisely why folks are incensed about this ruling.
Yeah, I mean if that's your metric then so be it. I think people might be appalled because they value more than cost.
I don't actually agree that it's a bad api, although it certainly has shortcomings. It's a low-level api to a library that is intended to be as slim as possible.

The sorts of things the author wants are indeed valuable and important, but also belong at a higher level of abstraction. The malloc() subsystem would even be a reasonable base to implement that on top of.
The article doesn’t say much. The device brand and model has not been disclosed.
I used to do this.

First I used to dual boot.

Then I used to have VFIO with passthrough. It worked ok, but it was a pain to setup, I would not recommend it unless you really want to mess around with it. You have to have 2 sets of hardware, multiple graphics cards, e.t.c.

Then, I gave WSL2 a try. Its actually pretty good. It runs all things linux, and you can even run graphical applications under windows since it includes an X server.

My current setup is Win 11 Pro for everything, with WSL2 for all dev. The pro version is worth it so I can disable all the annoying shit with WSL2 (Cortana, One Drive, e.t.c). It works super well. VSCode remote extension natively integrates with it, so I basically just open VSCode and its a linux system.

I dread that we are going to see a _lot_ of of cults appear, and a disturbing concentration of political power around cult leadership as a social modality. With a large overlap with the despair-distraction-escapism industry as entertainers become increasingly valorized into spiritual and thought leaders, and eventually leaders, full stop.

They will, as did monarchs in feudal times, draw their power base from the multitude of disenfranchised commoners seeking guidance, respite from the bleak outlook for those with little or no prospect of upward mobility, and a rallying point from which to focus any semblance of pushback against the landed baronial classes. But they will all the while be paying a hefty tax to those who maintain the broadcast infrastructure that enables them to marshall and monetize their followers, so even these kings and queens will need to stay in the graces of some potentate or other.
Another critical shift in the last ~120 years is the ease with which private information can be productized.

I say 120 years because I believe the Kodak Brownie No. 2 was the inflection point. Other film cameras existed before that point, but did not have user-replaceable film - you would return the whole camera to Kodak and they'd send you back prints and a new camera.

Thus, before the Brownie No. 2, the camera's owner had never posessed the negative itself. For the first time, an indisputably real account of an event could be reproduced over and over, on demand, with a low financial barrier to entry, and in any shape or size the negative's owner could imagine.

Obviously, the internet age has come with its own staggering paradigm shifts. Sure, private information may not be more sensitive than it ever was. But, it is easier than ever before to distribute it for profit.

There's another difficulty: to get the numbers needed to validate that a drug works, an equivalent large number of people need to enter the trial in the non-treatment arm, typically foregoing other treatment. Many people refuse to join trials for this reason, and that contributes to the delays in completing trials with sufficient power.
Wow is that the wrong journal to raise that sentiment. VCs are only here to maximize returns, if they can have some sort of interesting effect on the world that's cool too but returns for their LPs are the sole yardstick. Employees will never get more free time. Remember when word processors and email were going to free up time? All employees will be maximally engaged, plus or minus, and superfluous ones let go. Some jobs might not be successfully replaced, per the customer service example, just like taxi/uber drivers won't be replaced anytime soon. But as soon as they sustainably can be, they will be. And our government is captured by the financial class, it won't matter much which party (in the USA) is in power.

This is technically feasible so might be the real thing. Parsing inline ptx and mapping that onto amdgpu would be a huge pain.

Working from cuda source that doesn't use inline ptx to target amdgpu is roughly regex find and replace to get hip, which has implemented pretty much the same functionality.

Some of the details would be dubious, e.g. the atomic models probably don't match, and volta has a different instruction pointer model, but it could all be done correctly.

Amd won't do this. Cuda isn't a very nice thing in general and the legal team would have kittens. But other people totally could.
I think it really depends on your category. I am kind of in the same boat trying to promote my app, and I did follow the advice of making a MVP and trying to get feedback before moving on. But even after doing that I am struggling to reach the right audience without a marketing budget

I also have heard that trying to sell something before making it can tell you if it has real demand. People will tell you something is a good idea and not use it themselves all day long, but they will not pay you even a discounted price for it if they will not use it most of the time. Here is a link to the podcast episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec9K6ZV3Ds4
That is the metric of people who handle money and have a budget. Which happens to be the people that make decisions in situations like these and many others. You can be appalled all you want but if your idea is not affordable by the city is just not gonna get done.

Olympus exited the business, sadly. I don’t know if they were slimming down after the “accounting scandal” aka exposed corporate fraud or something else, but I’m a bit disappointed, what with my almost ten-year-old Olympus μ4/3 body (that was an attempt at an open standard, by the way, and IIRC even Fuji participated before they decided to go it alone). On the other hand, as you say, sensor-wise it’s not really significantly worse than what I can buy today.

Well, it wasn't just VCs. A lot of traditional mainstream media felt that they had to do something. A few like the NYT and The Economist arguably had strong enough brands to come out the other side with subscriptions. Maybe Bloomberg Business Week and some smaller pubs.

Similarly the Chinese program is so far only planning for landings and a moon base at the south pole. But I wouldn't be surprised if China squeezes in an extra manned or rover mission to investigate this. It'd be a pretty cheap win for their Moon program over Artemis.
