Unfortunately, CPU accuracy is not one of DOSBox's focuses.

If you install the "Recommended" build of DOSBox-X from the website, then proceed to install the default "Visual Studio build (64-bit)", you get buggy and inaccurate CPU emulation.

How do you know it's buggy and inaccurate? Run QBasic, and PRINT VAL("5"). You get 4.99999999999.

But...

You get the correct result if you are using a 32-bit build. You get the correct result on all non-MSVC builds. You get the correct result if you have the Dynamic core selected, even on 64-bit MSVC builds. It's just 64-bit MSVC builds with any core other than the Dynamic core that give the wrong result.

So what's going on here?

MSVC 64-bit doesn't support 80-bit floating point math, and doesn't allow you to use inline assembly to manually run the 80-bit floating point instructions. Instead, floating point operations are truncated down to 64-bit.

I think that the MSVC 64-bit build should NOT be the default build recommended to users for just that reason.
Same, my phone was gradually turning into another point of control over me, rather than the other way around and it being a tool to help me. Only a handful of people are default allowed through DnD, all of the nonsense government alerts are off, almost all app notifications are off save for absolutely the most important ones. If an app somehow breaks through after all of that, it's an instant uninstall, I just don't want to waste any more of my life than I alerady have being subservient to this shit. It's a daily annoyance to have to dismiss popups in apps when they notice they can no longer send notifications. Almost as annoying as the notifications themselves.

Most work apps have a permanent 'Away' status and a message on and the expectation set that I sparingly check throughout the day. It works really well, my mind has never been quieter and more at ease.

I used to publish some of my edge use case and home lab networking experiments. I had about 150 pages on L3 switches, Wireguard, IoT connectivity.

No ads, no SEO, just sharing information. By the beginning of the year, my only requests were bots. The only referrals were from someone on Reddit linking to a page.

I took it down. Google extracted the value of my work, they are doing the same to everyone else.

Or have I misunderstood your point?
This will probably be extremely radical and controversial in this contemporary world.

We need to stop adopting this subscription model society mentality and retake _our_ internet. Internet culture was at one point about sharing and creating, simply for the sake of it. We tinker'd and created in our free time, because we liked it and wanted to share with the world. There was something novel to this.

We are hackers, we only care about learning and exploring. If you want to fix a broken system, look to the generations of old, they didn't create and share simply to make money, they did it because they loved the idea of a open and free information super highway, a place where we could share thoughts, ideas and information at the touch of a few keystrokes.
We _have_ to hold on to this ethos, or we will lose what ever little is left of this idea.

I see things like kagi and is instantly met with some new service, locked behind a paywall, promising lush green fields of bliss. This is part of the problem.
(not saying kagi is a bad service)
I see a normalized stigma around people who value privacy, and as a result is being locked out, behind the excuse of "mAliCiOuS" activity.
I see monstrous giants getting away with undermining net neutrality and well established protocols for their own benefit.

I implore you all, young and old, re(connect) to the hacker ethos, and fight for a free and open internet. Make your very existence a act of rebellion.

Thank you for reading my delirium.
I like the idea! Possibly add an additional rule that they should stop advertising the same position if they didn't fill it within, say, 4 months.
>For example, I was describing the comment that started this thread, where someone implied women are inferior programmers.

The comment that started this thread did no such thing. In fact, the entire point of that comment was to argue that this is itself an unfair stereotype of the community (i.e. that such a belief is not prevalent).

It instead quoted a claim from the article - which indeed implies this in a vague, hand-waving way, by citing another paper. When I look at the abstract for that paper, in turn, I don't actually see the claim asserted; the closest it comes is

> Challenges that women face in OSS are mainly social, including lack of peer parity and non-inclusive communication from a toxic culture

Also, that paper in turn describes itself as "a survey of the literature".

The whole thing comes across to me as an act of citogenesis (https://xkcd.com/978/).
Some food for thought:

Once you complete this (ignoring the first level where you actually build a NAND gate) you essentially get very much what looks like a Neural Network (since it takes 2 neurons to represent a NAND gate), n layers deep, with a lot of zeros in the weight matrices, and some storage.

Here is my question: given the input/output semantics at the assembly level, is it possible to train a blank neural network to look like this? Backprop obviously wouldn't work, but perhaps there is some form of directed search one could use?
I wouldn't put their API costs as low. There are a few decent competitors. They only recently caught up with Claude and for example for coding deepseek is much cheaper. Others also got the cheap prompt caching before OpenAI caught up. They may have good features, but pricing is still meh.
These threads are always depressing. Half the commenters here would cheer the collapse of the US.

I've heard people find RAG not to work very well, is that accurate? Is it just about using the right embeddings?

I think there’s a legitimate market opportunity here. I am seeking a cofounder to build the job board that vets employers, and makes money by charging candidates to access it.

The problem to be solved, imo, is ghost listings.
- I don’t care if a company ghosts me because they hired someone else
- I care if I spend time filling out applications for jobs that don’t exist

I’m not sure how to make participation by the employer tractable. They can’t exactly be mandated to hire, can they? Unless I’m trapped in a prison of the mind that seems like too risky of a proposition for them.

That said, as a candidate I would happily pay $USD/month for access to a job board where I know that the job as posted is definitely for real and definitely getting filled in a certain timeframe. I don’t care if my particular resume gets read, or replied to. I only care that the phenomena of “ghost job” is nonexistent in the walled-garden that I’m paying for access to.
Neat! A couple of suggestions:

* For the variable length data (uri in open request, error payload, etc) you'll want to specify a length in the message. It allows for more efficient parsing (knowing a buffer size up front) and prevents some security(ish) issues - e.g. i could just send an open followed by uri that follows the scheme but is essentially gibberish until the connection is closed by the server (or the server chokes on it somehow).

You may also want to consider a lenth field for READ responses - in the specified range where the server has all of the resource this is redundant, but if the server doesn't have all the resource, it allows the client to request from another at an adjusted offset even while still receiving the values from the first READ.

* Tokens: If i'm understanding the draft (incl erata) correctly you're using tokens as handles for message pairs, additionally one of the tokens is used to associate the open request and read request, and they are all chosen by the client.

Like this:

Client Server

Open ---------new_token(val1)-->
<---------reuest_token(val1)-- OpenResponse

Read --new_token(val2), open_token(val1) -->
< --- request_token(val2) --- ReadResponse

I'd suggest making the payload of the OPEN request be a server chosen open_token. Having the client manage all of the token values forces the server to track tokens and sender IP or other, similar unique identifying information. It also opens the door for various token collision and/or exhaustion attacks.

* Specify various edge cases well (client closes connection early, connection breaks, etc), because they will have interop consequences, and affect server design (e.g. how tokens are handled in the program) too.
For me the key difference between ChatGPT Search and Google is the feedback mechanism.

With ChatGPT, I can give a thumbs up or thumbs down; this means that OpenAI will optimize for users thumbs up.

With Google, the feedback is if I click on an Ad; this means that Google optimizes for clickbait.
Explain your reasoning here, because as i see it. It should be every game dev responsibility to ensure their game is not vulnerable no matter the platform you are using to play.
Yeah, but if it wasn’t there wouldn’t be enough days in a human life to learn to use it.

Everything we create is to save on our most precious resource: human effort and time.

AI is so ridiculously wasteful if you think about it, from a computing point of view. But, it doesn’t require us to write a dedicated piece of code for each new problem, thus it’s saving humans effort and time.

Of course, the question remains, what does come out of all this productivity?

This is a bigger, longer term thought, but…

perhaps upvotes and downvotes can be subtly weighed by karma? This would give proven contributors more trust. In the case of job posts, it would enlist them in zapping the spam they recognise month after month?

And beyond that, beyond applicability to job posts, perhaps voting can be a collaborative filtering bubble instead of absolutes? This makes spammers and voting rings end up in an echo chamber? And perhaps for normal posts instead of there being an early top level comment that gets to the top and stays there and monopolises the conversation, you get more variety and people more easily find the conversation they come for?
Not anymore. There's arguably more than enough data to form a base for strong LLMs; extra data is nice, but doesn't have to come in such quantity.

A personal anecdote:

One of my guys made a mistake while deploying some config changes to Production and caused a short outage for a Client.

There's a post-incident meeting and the client asks "what are we going to do to prevent this from happening in the future?" - probably wanting to tick some meeting boxes.

My response: "Nothing. We're not going to do anything."

The entire room (incl. my side) looks at me. What do I mean, "Nothing?!?".

I said something like "Look, people make mistakes. This is the first time that this kind of mistake had happened. I could tell people to double-check everything, but then everything will be done twice as slowly. Inventing new policies based on a one-off like this feels like an overreaction to me. For now I'd prefer to close this one as human error - wontfix. If we see a pattern of mistakes being made then we can talk about taking steps to prevent them."

In the end the conceded that yeah, the outage wasn't so bad and what I said made sense. Felt a bit proud for pushing back :)
I haven’t yet tried it yet. But that comment seemed extremely vague and misleading.
Not sure maybe they felt like SEO results would rank VS Codium over it?

Using something like Photino (https://www.tryphotino.io) with Blazor can start to feel like an actual good C# cross plat GUI solution but even as a C# truther I agree with you.

I think you'll start seeing a lot more "cross platform C# frameworks" when PanGUI drops:
https://pangui.io

It's a native layout/gui util by the devs of the mega-popular Odin extension in Unity, and the idea is to directly solve "good native c# gui lib" with the implementation just being a single shader and an API that is more like DearIMGUI.

I'm also planning on using it my own small 2D C# engine when it's available:
https://github.com/zinc-framework

I already do iterative hot reload GUI with DearImGUI in that engine so PanGUI will work in the same way.
It does seem clear that financial issues are a major contributor. Parents have been getting older before having children, presumably because it's taking longer to have financial stability. I know it was a factor with our kid.

If you want more kids work on affordable housing, decreased costs for healthcare, decreased costs for college, and decreased costs for childcare.

"Feature flag" development culture is in direct conflict with user's having intuitive, consistent experiences that they can model in their head.

If the vendor needs a database report to see what features the user may encounter in any given session, because it's an n-dimensional matrix that changes based on uncountably many factors, there is no mental modeling to be done. The user just experiences some idiosyncratic amalgam of code in each session, and the vendor watches aggregate metrics to make sure the number of users in immediate crisis remains below some threshold -- bringing in a $XXXX/hr on-call team to identify and apply some adequately impactful change if it breaks over. Meanwhile, the users-in-crisis cross their fingers that the next time they open the app, they get a better roll on the feature matrix and encounter a more tolerable subset of issues.

If you want to be able to understand your software and know how to turn things on and off, you need to demand a whole new (old) approach to building and publishing things. We're way off track right now.

The really common reason in my experience is there is a job that is made to fit a specific internal applicant but it has to advertised “because of process”. Often the manager is not even telling recruiting that they have already picked the candidate.

not sure which part you are confused by. The Key take aways are:

1) At a high level, shareholders are interested in stock price to earnings, not margin.

2) When you buy ford stock, none of that money goes to the company for capital investment. It goes to some other stock trader.

3) shareholders and CEOs want ROI. that investment is stock price, which detached from manufacturing capacity investments.
You could but you might not have enough money to send enough tractors and infrastructure to have as big of an impact. If you were optimising for impact you might find that Scythes are a better return on your investment.
