Intel is in a SNAFU that's far beyond just a couple of unreliable chips coming out recently.

The issue is the latest earnings report: quarterly net losses, operational losses, 15% cut in staff, diminishing CapEx (aka: less investment into future factories)... and perhaps most important/indicative of the situation... Intel is cancelling its Q4 Dividend.

IE: Intel is no longer a reliable dividend stock with reliable profits. Investors are now concerned about what Intel... as a company... is today. There's fundamental top-down strategic issues with the company that remain unresolved as of this week.

It's not about crash at all, but “all software has security vulnerabilities because of UB” is unfortunately true.

From my read, it probably flows from 26 = 27 - 1 = 3^3 - 1, given the equation is looking at cubes.
I used Delphi back in the day and I use IntelliJ today. The latter starts faster than the former despite doing many orders of magnitude more things. Delphi back then didn't support refactoring at all, which is 90% of the CPU a modern IDE is using. It certainly isn't brutally slow.

Also, if you want a better than Delphi form editor just use IntelliJ to create a Swing app. That's a built in form editor with more features. I like Scene Builder a bit better, but form editors that are good are out there for the taking if you want them.

Seem _very_ early days so who knows if it will have legs.
Oh, so you meant that if _ were underlines, then you couldn't have this special case because you wouldn't have two symbols to play with and have different behavior for?

Yeah, I'm fine with that, it's a bad original design decision to waste two symbols for the same thing in the first place, and the subtle _foo_bar vs foobar differences go against the simple nature of the markup

All these _foo_bar intricacies should be dealt with via escaping (or an even better alternative design of using some other marker types like _[] to allow free use of the marks)

> Using slashes for italics doesn't fit into that scheme

Sure, because that's a bad scheme, and not mentioning such a common thing as italics doesn't help either since the whole point is visual intuitiveness, so markdown still fails here (and adds a needless cost of 2 extra symbols "for the strength")

GPT-4 was released in March 2023, one and a half years ago (I point that out because it feels like a different era). Not sure when they finished training it but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with (and it's in fact much later than) the training data cutoff, which was in September 2021.

What do you mean, who decides? Verifiably picking a random sample isn't technically difficult, you give everyone an ID, pick a known PRNG algorithm, publish a seed, let anyone send in a salt in public if they want to, and then anyone can run the whole selection process.

> the pre-vote-training of the voters (aka marketing, media and money) is the big problem for me.

It's not merely that. These are very complicated matters that take time and energy to understand, and voters don't have the necessary time and resources to dedicate. Voters are also asked to vote for people they cannot directly talk to. Everything has to be done through intermediaries and middlemen, because direct communication doesn't scale. That's why picking a smaller sample is interesting: if you pick a hundred people at random, you can pay them to simply think and talk to each other, and you can reduce (although not completely eliminate) the influence of marketing, media and money.

The continuity of physical processes is not something that can be proved. It is an assumption that is included or not included among those on which a mathematical model of the physical processes is based. The suitability of any such model is based on the comparison between its predictions and the experimental results.

In standard physics, the space and time are continuous, and nothing else. All the physical quantities that are derived from length or angles or time are continuous (this includes quantities like mass and energy, which are derived from time). Besides those, there are no other physical quantities that are continuous.

The mathematical models that assume the continuity of space and time match extremely well any experiments and for now there exists no evidence whatsoever that space and time are not continuous.

Besides the standard physics, there have been a few attempts to create mathematical models of the physical processes where the space and time are discrete. Nevertheless, these mathematical models did not succeed to demonstrate any advantage over the standard models with continuous space and time.

The woeful inconsistency between airport security checks within the same country and sometimes within the same airport, really lends itself to the theory that it’s all a farce.

Tragedy of low-level exploitation (So you want to make a career in exploit dev?)
TL;DR of a long post: "So to not bury the lead, the problem is that low-level exploitation is rarely needed in cybersecurity, and jobs where one works mostly on low-level exploitation are few and far between. Furthermore, these jobs are even more rare if one wants to stay away from the gray area of hacking and away from the black market. It's more common for low-level exploitation to be a small occasional part of another role."

This 100ml restriction makes absolutely no sense at all. If someone wanted to carry out a suicide attack, it would stand to reason that their goal would be to maximise the damage they cause. If that assumption is correct, then it would make little to no sense to detonating it on a plane with a max capacity of 200-500, when the alternative would be to detonate it in the security hall. The delays caused by these 100ml checks create a bottle neck in airports which leads to potentially 1000s of people penned up in a small room waiting to have their deodorant taken away from them. Surly an explosion happening at the security gates would lead to far greater tragedy than the one they are trying to guard against. Absolutely absurd.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but if it came out the handful of companies that always seem to populate the duty-free area where lobbying to keep security checks in place, I can't say I would be surprised as I'd imagine it being a rather lucrative location to sell deodorant's shampoos, and other basic hygiene essentials.
The protests were caused by Ruto’s tax policies, now he has reverted those I think, but young Kenyan’s still like to go do mandamano (riots).

They planned one for legalizing weed and another one for Nairobi airport (the employees there really like to screw people over and you can be asked over 1k EUR to be allowed to leave as an African, usually they dont bother Europeans).

Overall this is a bit hurting the tourism sector, Mombasa some hotels were pretty empty even couple weeks ago, Watamu does not seem to be impacted too much, but in general the season is still starting.

As for anyone who is thinking if Kenya is safe to visit, the answer is YES - just dont go for a stroll in Nairobi during mandamano
For someone who's been writing "C for 20+ years" according to your other post, you come across as extremely ignorant of how modern optimizing C compilers work. I suggest you thoroughly read and understand Russ Cox's simple expose [1] and the UB posts in John Regeh'r blog [2].

The C security issues that plague us today are partly fueled by the attitude of guesswork and ignorance demonstrated in your posts.

I agree about markdown, but the only awkward implementation issue is nested syntax: what markup is parsed inside various other outer markup forms?

Italic headings? Bold links? Nested lists - how many levels? Code in list? How do paragraphs interact with lists? There are many opinions and many leaky implementations of those opinions. Newlines? Embedding HTML in Markdown !?!?

It all seems so sad, because (X)HTML nailed most of these issues a very long time ago. But HTML implementations were sloppy from the outset. And XML was born with inherited bloat, then got ever more complex over time (modular specs, XLink, XPath, XSLT, DTD -> XML Schema, ...)

With Markdown, it is relatively easy to introduce some recursion into the parser, but for what spec? In what contextual cases? At what cost?
This mostly matches my experience but with one important caveat around using them to learn new subjects.

When I'm diving into a wholly new subject for the first time, in a field totally unrelated to my field (similar to the author, C programming and security) for example biochemistry or philosophy or any field where I don't have even a basic grounding, I still worry about having subtly-wrong ideas about fundamentals being planted early-on in my learning.

As a programmer I can immediately spot "is this code doing what I asked it to do" but there's no equivalent way to ask "is this introductory framing of an entire field / problem space the way an actual expert would frame it for a beginner" etc.

At the end of the day we've just made the reddit hivemind more eloquent. There's clearly tons of value there but IMHO we still need to be cognizant of the places where bad info can be subtly damaging.

Yeah or the Buran. Their excuse at the time was there was only one way to build a shuttle but I don't buy that. Even the windows were in the same place. And they didn't have to spy for it because the shuttle was public.

They did make some adjustments like actively cooled tiles. But they had the smarts to stop the program before it turned into a money sink.

After all, the Shuttle's original goals were never reached. The launch cost was supposed to go down immensely and the cadence to once a week. In the end the shuttle wasn't so much reusable as it was refurbishable.

It did give us the ISS though by making orbital construction possible as it was basically a big space campervan/truck combo :)

HTTPS is shrouded behind inscrutable crypto, but nearly everyone trusts it with their credit card details.

Voting doesn't have to be any different. The implementation details don't matter, as long as there are easy-to-understand verification concepts such as receiving a "tracking number" for your vote that is then easy to see it was counted. And then journalists and other private election integrity observers who do random sampling from voter rolls and follow up on complaints. (This is not a complete list, just examples.)

And remember, physical voting is actually tremendously complicated as well -- inscrutable optical scanners detecting which bubbles you filled in, and then... what? Who's actually adding the numbers, and where, and how? The point is, the details aren't really important as long as we're vaguely aware that there are election observers and journalists trying to catch any irregularities, and we all know it will be major news whenever they're found.

Maintenance programming is all about understanding the software‘s context and implicit design or a model thereof — even if it is a 20 year old patch work.

Young developers tend to be amazed when I find the source of an obscure bug in our 1M lines of Perl code application as a senior. But the thing is, I just happen to „get the application“ and developed intuition about its inner working. It’s rarely of knowing Perl particularly well. The thing could have been written in TCL or even Brainfuck — with a working model of your software in your head (not with the memory of the total code base, mind you) you will eventually find the problem in a piece of software written in any language.
