What do you mean? As long as people inspect what they are transporting or only take things delivered to them directly from merchants, I don't see how this would be a problem.

In fact, there is a whole class of travellers in some parts of the world now called runners who do this

> But, in a lot of cases, there's really nothing particularly sensible to do: the pointer not being null is an invariant that was supposed to be upheld and it wasn't, and now at the point of dereference, at runtime, there's nothing to do except crash. Which is what would've happened anyways, so what's the point?

Crashing is the lucky case! Specifically in the kernel, there can be valid memory at address 0, and there are exploits that capitalise on the friction between memory address 0 sometimes being and C's null pointer being full of undefined behaviour.

It is actually something more of reducing the number of faulty submissions, because the popularity alone doesn't get emoji registered.

I managed to jailbreak my "Kindle Oasis 3" and install KOreader [1] and Syncthing on it (the process of achieving this, as described on mobileread.com/forums was quite horrible by the way.)
Very happy with the result though, books are just synced automatically with my Macbook via Syncthing.

Hopefully somehow a similar setup will be possible with the new Kindles, if they can also be jailbroken.

PS. The Kindle Oasis 3 is still great in 2024, it even automatically adjusts brightness with its light sensor.

this paper is so dumb. so you modeled the output of stockfish? stockfish does use simulation or selfplay or search. so you've outsourced search and dont do it yourself so you can claim to be "without search"
This is true. The toxins left behind by bacteria or fungi can be worse than ingesting a live culture. And they don't break down by cooking at normal temperatures. I think the only reason 5-year-old industrial mayo is ok is the preservatives. Fresh mayo can kill you after 24 hours unrefrigerated, whether you cook it later or not. Source: Worked in restaurants.
Can anyone in the know explain to me how they are able to achieve such a massive jump in data transmission speed with each generation? Is there some theoretical limit here or will we get to the Petabyte range with 7G?
Is this a regional thing? In the US, I've never met another dev who's ever gotten a cert (to my knowledge) or even discussed one. Might just be my particular circles, though.
It's somewhat telling that they chose Stockfish as the oracle and not AlphaZero.

Purely for the SSH part if you’re uncomfortable using anything outside of OpenSSH itself for authentication you could consider certificates[^1]

You’d still need something to sign the certificates based on some other identity of course (it can be done manually but kind of defeats the purpose) be it smallstep or something else

I discovered that completely by surprise when I was learning Rust. I wrote code and unit tests, wrote some documentation, and I was blown away when I saw that my documentation also ran as part of the suite. Such a magical moment.
I mean practically speaking in C++ we have (it just hasn't made it to the standard):

1. char 8 bit

2. short 16 bit

3. int 32 bit

4. long long 64 bit

5. arithmetic is 2s complement

6. IEEE floating point (float is 32, double is 64 bit)

Along with other stuff like little endian, etc.

Some people just mistakenly think they can't rely on such stuff, because it isn't in the standard. But they forget that having an ISO standard comes on top of what most other languages have, which rely solely on the documentation.
Cloudflare-enabled websites have had this issue for years.[1] The problem is that website owners are not educated enough to understand that URLs meant for bots should not enable Cloudflare’s bot blocker.

Perhaps a solution would be for Cloudflare to have default page rules that disable bot-blocking features for common RSS feed URLs? Or pop-up a notice with instructions on how to create these page rules to users that appear to have RSS feeds on their website?

I'm really curious whether this will hold true in the future. I think the whole JS/React/JSX ecosystem really got a lot of people over to the programming side from "just" writing HTML and CSS, and I'm wondering whether this could happen for something like Go, too.

Now that the pendulum has swung in favor of rendering HTML server-side again and sprinkling Javascript on top, I sense a lot of interest in different ways of doing things than the default backend + JSON HTTP API + React/Vue frontend stack. And because Go is such a relatively simple language, maybe purely frontend/design-focused developers can pick it up and start writing HTML components with it?

(It helps that my preferred style of putting all HTML components inside a package called "html" inside the Go module/app could neatly containerize newcomers, to not scare them off with all the other stuff that is a Go app.)
You seem to be equating success with charging someone with crime and a harsh punishment. This is not the case. Success could simply be a bottle of volatile liquid thrown in the trash. Success could be an 'oops, someone forgot about ammo in their carry on luggage again'.

The fifth generation story was hyped to the gills in European (and I assume US) AI research circles at the time to increase public funding. It was a bit funny as we were all knees deep into 'nouvelle AI' as a reaction to the crafted reasoning/logic from before, so a thin line had to be walked between 'we need to fund this emergence/embodied/subsymbolic research because the logic/symbolic reasoning stuff is a deadend' and 'those Japanese with their logic/symbolic reasoning approach are going to eat our lunch if you do not give us more money'. Good times were had.

What ended up happening is that actually universal payment systems like credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, and JCB) and digital wallets (PayPay, Alipay, Apple Pay, Google Pay) were ultimately successful in carving up the formerly cash-dominated pie, forcing SUICA and ICOCA to open themselves up to broader interoperability including beyond just JR offerings.

Also, note that JCB is the only Japanese one of those universal payment systems. All the others are either American or Asian ex-Japan (PayPay which is South Korean, Alipay which is Chinese).

Humans have had a long history with trying to declare people dead and getting it wrong. Occasionally a dead body would be exhumed from the ground only to discover scratch marks on the lid of the coffin.

This led to inventions like safety coffins which allowed people to live until help could arrive.

Today, we don't need it inventions like that anymore, largely because the embalming process ensures the recently deceased are in fact deceased.

Basically higher frequencies meaning more radio bandwidth. Seems like they did this at 5-150 GHz. Infrared starting at 300 GHz means that well after you go to UV lasers pointed at phones you don't have much farther to go...

Ofc, you can make more cells and more signal paths, but there is limit some point from here on.
To be honest, indexes aren't designed for that. They're meant for fast lookup of short identifiers. Things like people's names and product ID's. Not long URL's. It's not performant.

If you need to keep a million long URL's in a defined sort order, my first recommendation would be, don't -- see if there's another way to achieve your end result. But if you absolutely have to, then create a new integer column to be your sort key, and use a little bit of extra code to give it values that produce the same sort order.

Creating short numerical primary keys for long strings is a common database technique.

Yes, because this is a discussion about the value of "unsafe", so we're only talking about the wrongs that are enabled by "unsafe".

If I run a line of code that corrupts memory, and the program crashes 400 lines later, I don't say the spot where it crashes is wrong, I say the memory corrupting line is wrong. So I disagree with you here.

I haven’t seen any patterns, and I’m wondering where people are getting these kinds of insights.

Like I have 1 friend that married somebody who could reasonably be described as like a first serious relationship. Other than that… everybody tended to settle down after college, after a few more serious relationships. Nobody has gotten divorced yet (late 30’s). But (and this is being generous to myself), I’ll say I probably only have like 5 friends who I’d really be confident in saying much about the health of their relationships.

I think everybody in this thread is just making things up, tbh.
That is a completely ridiculous suggestion.

The hardware FPU on the 1954 IBM 704 took 60 µs for addition and 300 µs for multiplication.

That is likely to be the slowest hardware FPU ever. The Intel 8087, for example, was about six times faster. I expect the optional FPUs on things like early PDP-11s to also be faster.

AppleSoft BASIC has quick&dirty FP operations and uses about 1000 µs for an add and 3000 µs for a multiply.

SANE is IEEE-compliant and has to be careful to get 0.5 ULP, round correctly, set flags etc and therefore I would expect it to be slower than AppleSoft. But I don't know how much slower. I never used it on a 6502.
Computers are not beings with 10 fingers that can be up or down.

Powers of two are more natural in a binary computer. Then add the fact that 8 is the smallest power of two that allows you to fit the Latin alphabet plus most common symbols as a character encoding.

We're all about building towers of abstractions. It does make sense to aim for designs that are natural for humans when you're closer to the top of the stack. Bytes are fairly low down the stack, so it makes more sense for them to be natural to computers.

It absolutely can work for task initiation. It's less effective for maintaining momentum, but initiating a task is often all people need to resume being productive.

I remember watching Rambo 2 (or maybe it was Rambo 3) as a young kid, and it motivated me so much that, in the middle of the movie, I ran to my room, grabbed some weights, and started working out. A few months later... just kidding. I didn’t keep working out after the movie ended. But, but! It did push me to do something!

Guys often work out twice as hard when there’s an attractive woman nearby.

Whatever works. My job is to help people overcome chronic procrastination, and I’ve seen how motivational videos can help those who struggle with task initiation.

The problem is that watching a video is a task in itself, and people who procrastinate might struggle with even something that simple (I’m one of them). Keeping the video in an open tab might be a good idea.

Unless I'm mistaken table inheritance is still a thing in current PG versions, in terms of partitioning at least it's just less commonly used in favour of declarative partitioning since it's easier to manage.

I'm currently using SWI-Prolog.

Still checking every now and then if SICStus has open sourced. I used Prolog daily during my PhD and SICStus had such nice features. E.g. it could raise an exception when no more heap space can be allocated or when a 'call' would not finish within a given time. These features made it much easier to use Prolog in real-world systems (this was a parsing system and when parsing a very large corpus, this was highly preferable over simply crashing the interpreter).

Maybe things have changed, but this wasn't possible with SWI at the time. Even worse, most C extensions would use malloc directly, making it impossible to track allocations done by extensions.

Haggling is expected in some areas.

Vendors expect customer to haggle, so they inflate sometimes as high as 100%.
Customers know vendors inflate, so they start haggling right away.
vendors get to sold at a desired price, buyer walks away thinking, they got a deal.

kids try to negotiate their punishments, i negotiated a bribe with a traffic cop once.

When haggling is expected and one party doesn't engage, the other party gets frustrated and try to walk away.

There are some pockets of activities where no-haggling is preferred choice.
Like branded goods (clothes, travel, automobile), high end real estate. people who are not good at negotiations prefer these options.

I purchased a house from a builder, who is notorious for not engaging in negotiations. I was happy with purchase because i know i got same deal as everyone else and did not lose anything.
> they are looking at between 1/20 and 1/4 odds that they are caught and potentially deemed an enemy of the state, taken to a CIA black site, etc

As opposed to what odds if they blow themselves and a plane up?

Or rather, they would just blow themselves up anyway in the middle of the crowded security area if they got found out. So you're looking at between 1/20 and 1/4 odds of blowing up the security area rather than the plane.

Dr. Fung basically said that beta cell death is likely related to fatty deposits on the pancreas. So there is a fatty liver/pancreas cycle that requires a significant time duration of fasting. Eventually beta cells continue to produce normal amounts of insulin. T2D is not a death sentence, it just requires motivation from the patients and up-to-date knowledge of the treatment physician.
Do you know why OpenAI are unable to provide a "seed" parameter that's fully deterministic? I had assumed it was for the reason I described, but I'm not confident in my assertion there.
I should've been clearer, really. What made me feel the "magic" was not prompting Stable Diffusion. It was letting it iterate on art I had already done.

I did a lot of 3D-rendered illustration back in the 1990s and early 2000s, necessarily low-polygon stuff, but things that were supposed to be life-like scenes, with tons of textures, that took a very long time to render. Including what may have been the first and only children's book illustrated with Infini-D on a Mac IIsi.

So, feeding these old renderings into StableDif with 75% bias toward the original image and a couple of basic prompts, produced results that blew my mind. It was like seeing what my illustrations could have been if I'd had a team at Pixar Studios refining them. In the sense that it was still my character art and my creation, totally recognizable, but polished and refined to a level that would have been unimaginable in 1997.
There is no way for a doctor to know from a bullet wound that someone got "sniped". All bullets lodged in the body look the same, whether they just happened to run in the path of fire, or if a a sniper targeted them on purpose.

This -- this -- is precisely the emotion-laden but evidence-free language that I'm trying to warn people from avoiding. It doesn't help your cause (whatever it is) to misrepresent, assume, or just make things up. People will see through it and stop listening to you. I've largely stopped listening to propaganda coming from Russia and Gaza because they're both very transparently made up bullshit.

The sad thing is that at least in the case of Gaza the plain unvarnished facts are more than enough! Israel is bombing them, they are levelling large chunks of the city, they are killing tens of thousands of children, etc...

State the facts. Don't guess. Don't interpret. Don't weave a sob story based on hearsay from very highly biased people who themselves are necessarily ignorant of the facts on the ground. The doctor didn't witness the shooting, he just dealt with the aftermath.

The facts are bad enough:
