No, it means the static analyzers can't report on a different error because a subset of that class of errors is no longer an error, and the static analysis can't usually distinguish between that subset and the rest.

memcpy(NULL, NULL, 0); // Formerly bad, now ok.
memcpy(NULL, NULL, s); // Formerly bad, now unknown (unless it can be proven that s != 0).

and

memcpy(NULL, b, c); // Same issue.

(where "NULL" == "statically known to be NULL", not necessarily just a literal NULL. Not that that changes the difficulty here.)

Previously: warn if either address might be NULL.

Now: warn if either address might be NULL and the length might be nonzero, and prepare for your users to be annoyed and shut this warning off due to the false alarms.

Any useful static analysis tool does a careful balance between false positives and false negatives (aka false alarms and missed bugs). Too many false positives, and that warning will be disabled, or users will get used to ignoring it, or it will be routinely annotated away at call sites without anyone bothering to figure out whether it's valid or not. Soon the tool will cease to be useful and may be entirely abandoned. In actual practice, the sophistication of a static analysis tool is far less relevant than its precision. It's quite common to have an incredibly powerful static analysis tool that is used for only a small handful of blazingly obvious warnings, sometimes ones that the compiler already has implemented! (All the tool's fancy warnings got disabled one by one and nobody noticed.)
From what little I've seen on this, it kind of feels like the issue with Priuses acceleration out of control like 15 years ago. It was a huge scandal that lead to multiple Toyota recalls and even a lawsuit settlement and in the end, it seems like it was basically human error.

One person messed up and crashed their Prius claiming the accelerator got stuck and it got picked up by the news. That story then primed other people to start looking for that and from then on anytime a Prius crashed people were looking to blame the accelerator. More people reported their Priuses accelerating out of control which then reinforced the idea even more and so on and so on.

Be careful here. Human eye witnesses are not reliable, especially at night like this. It is very hard to determine size of shapes at night in the dark. It is hard to determine distance which makes something small look like it might be bigger but further away.

That's how I read it, originally. And my thought was "they're a phone provider now? That's kind of ironic"
supposedly they originate and return to somewhere out in ocean. presumably boats or submarines.
Whether it's profitable is relative. For relatively little effort anyone with a bit of tech know-how can setup a spam/scam operation. If they also happen to live in a low-income region and target high-income regions, they only need to scam a handful of people a month to get a decent ROI. The amount of vulnerable people is unfortunately high, especially among the elderly.

Jim Browning on YouTube does great work exposing this scum. There are huge call center operations in India and Pakistan, and the local authorities are useless if not complicit.

This will only get more popular and profitable once AI tools get more accessible. There's no need to have a physical location and hire humans if they can just launch a army of bots that have perfect accents and can follow a conversation without deviating from the script. The next generation of robocalls is just starting.
Prison would probably be better. I don't think they should let him off the hook, but I'd expect a lot of people lie in court and flashy penalties for Jones aren't going to change that, so there are questions here about consistency of outcome for people going to court. Given that his lawyers were in on it it is questionable whether he does actually understand the risks of his actions, he appears to be getting very bad quality legal support.

He could be go to court every day of his life, lie continuously, fight them every step of the way and it still wouldn't do a level of harm that justify some of the payouts. They are huge, numbers have been tossed around in the range of billions. The engineering value of an entire human life is only around the 10 million mark. And the courts agree with a lot of that because these are punitive damages, so it is very much a judgement call about what is appropriate. It doesn't look like the judges are doing a great job on that front. The punishments are too extreme; from the outside it looks like Jones targeting these people was the best thing that ever happened to them by a wide margin.
Can't get much more of a reading comprehension failure than that. Good thing I don't write compilers.

That's what "up to an infinitesimal error anyway" meant.
You ask how large and citation, and given one with sizes, you already have a billion ones. The article is about long convolutions (winograd being still a matmul implementation
for square matrices and a pain to adapt to long convolutions and still N^2.3), and given comparisons with 10-years-optimized-(as you say) cuDNN and very naive barely running FFT-based long convolutions, showing actual O complexity matters at some point - even with the best hardware tricks and implementations.

I don't know what more to say ? Don't use FFT-based convolution for long convolutions if it doesn't work for your use cases or if you don't believe it would or should. And those of us who have benchmarked against SOTA direct convolution and found out FFT-based convolution worked better for our use cases will keep using it and talk about it when people ask on forums ?
The quotes seem to indicate that they don't care about drones. The context surrounding the quotes is all The Guardian's.

He emphasized there was “no known threat to the public at this time”.

Etc...

Then quotes of one word end quote two words not quoted, then a few more quoted words. Or a sentence that's clearly drawn without context.

Typical modern reporting. The people being quoted don't have the time to care if they were lied about.

So, yes, if you click the link, you'll see who is quoted making the claims, but there is no reason to think that they actually made those claims. Only that those people don't care enough to stop their workday and refute every piece of media trash with their name in it that probably didn't even make it to their desk.
I believe that would be hard to defend in court. "Did someone or something inside your company say these words to the plaintiff?" "Yes." You can only disclaim so much, especially when you're making money off the output of the (person|AI).

Selenium project founder here. (Hi!) Thanks for all your work on this project. Lots of negativity around here these days, but just wanted to say thanks. The functional style of Helium's API reminds me a lot of Selenium's original API when it was 100% JavaScript (aka Selenium 1 aka Selenium Core) back in 2004.

(Functional style: "method(thing)"
vs
object oriented style: "thing.method()")

We mostly abandoned the functional style when we merged with the WebDriver project (aka Selenium 2), but that functional style still lives on in the Selenium IDE record/playback tool.

That is all to say, there are fans of many different styles for automation APIs. No single API will please everyone. (But I personally like the simpler, functional style, fwiw!)

Side-note: This is also why I'm a fan of the Nim programming language. "method(thing)" and "thing.method" are supported syntax for literally the same thing. For others new to the idea, the fancy term for this is "Uniform Function Call Syntax".
I have had a bet going with two of my friends on this exact point for almost a week now, and the fact that it is _still_ not been resolved by any agency is insane.

I also have a couple friends who work at Picatinny as well, and have heard that their civilian security have spotted some (which is strange since their airspace is always restricted), but there haven't been any internal memos regarding them.

Some things I've observed/heard/thought during arguments and searching for evidence in either direction:

1. People need video evidence and assume it's easy to get because everyone carries a video camera with them.

2. Most people have never tried to capture a fast-moving object with lights in the night's sky with a cellphone.

3. People assume everyone else is a complete fucking idiot, including police, the media, politicians, and most every authority on the subject. This is also in both directions, but with my friends they seem to assume that people have coincidentally forgotten what a plane looks/sounds like in the nights sky and decided to report them as "not planes" to the authorities.

4. The skeptical position on this is firmly in the minority across all social media I've seen.

5. Lots of videos are completely indistinguishable from planes, and any that seem "weird" can be easily explained by tricks of perspective.

6. If there ARE drones being operated in a way where they would prefer not be recognized, then it doesn't seem crazy they would put lights on and move in ways that would disguise them as planes.

7. Flight trackers are not reliable because not all planes that fly need to have flight plans and transponders.

I have taken the position that _something_ weird is happening, and that not all of the reports can be explained by commercial/private planes, but I don't mind being wrong so long as a definitive answer is going to present itself.

Anyways, glad to see the discussion has made it to HN so I can crowdsource some more arguments, would love it if you all could help resolve this wager.
Bolton had his shot during the first impeachment inquiry. He refused to testify, and let his subordinates hang out to dry. I feel he's of low or bad character, and should be ignored.
That's why I went for the term "thermocline", because it's not so much a hard divide, as more a moving, floating border at certain point in the spectrum where it seems the signs flip on certain values.

The thing is, turning a warm body into useful employee is, depending on task, not hard. But the experience dealing with WiPro, TCS, Infosys, and experience of others with Cognizant and HCL added to that, suggests that they don't even try, put KPIs that are in opposition with "useful service", and then lie to everyone including the employee. Like, at least someone employed to tell you why it doesn't matter you paid for your policy for years, it's not going to pay out, at least knows they are there to screw customers.

I can get useful junior data center operator out of a reasonably healthy warm body that I can communicate with (and there's at least one memorable time where we achieved success in remote hands case without mutually intelligible communications while over the phone), but that's like few levels above what I expect from WITCH and their ilk (because yes, other companies in areas dominated by them will end up hiring people from them with certain set behaviours who will then manage their groups in same way...)
F-16 seems like overkill for a drone. Send up the Apaches.

Not a pest at all and I've long been frustrated with ROS - our early demos were actually just a single C++ binary with multiple threads running for perception, control, and visualization, and I byte-packed robot control messages in our own software to avoid using ROS.

Unfortunately this breaks down in a few ways that you're probably familiar with, given that you asked this question:

- A crash in (e.g.) a third party sensor driver can bring down your whole binary, any signal catching here is awkward and you end up wanting process isolation

- Perception is, for better, or worse, easiest to prototype and try off the shelf in Python / Pytorch, so you either end up with pybind11 and driving things in Python, ONNX which is IME brittle for some of the crazier Pytorch modules, or message serialization and process isolation.

ROS/ROS2 does _way_ too much in my opinion - why does it have a build system and a ton of packages? This plus pinning OS versions are huge pain points. Unfortunately I also think many community-contributed ROS/2 packages are fairly low code-quality, with notable exceptions. Overall, I'd prefer to have ROS be a pubsub library with a few extra tools for logging and visualization.

In the end, we're currently using ROS2 for the reasons listed above and for easy prototyping, but I'd like to move to something more like FPrime, Basis, Cerulion, or Copper in the near future. I really want to grow something in-house with Zenoh or IceOryx2, but don't want to waste a lot of time on middleware, since I don't think it's what's kept the problem from being solved.

(At the end of this post I now see you're working on Basis, I apologize that I'm over-explaining to you. I'd love to chat about Basis if you have some time in the next few days!)
I didn't see a straightforward way to submit the final problem, because I used different contexts for each of the 7 subproblems.

Given the right prompt, though, I'm sure it could handle the 'find the corresponding letter from the landmarks to form an anagram' part. That's easier than most of the other problems.

You're saying the ultimate answer isn't 'PROTECTING THE UNITED KINGDOM'?
"large drones"

How large is "large"?

Some of the articles are claiming "SUV sized" drones, but their photos are either of commercial aircraft, or of something that looks to be a DJI Phantom 4, or something much like it.

Have you managed to capture any videos of images of these large, low flying, slow moving drones?

"I have observed an interesting N type negative resistance effect that happens only when the tip of a very sharp aluminum electrode is just barely touching the top surface of the solution."

What exactly does negative resistance mean in this context? Based on the curve shown I would guess as the voltage increases past a point the resistance decreases. But it is fun to imagine this guy has discovered perpetual energy.

update: of course there is a wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_resistance
It's true. BUT I think they are currently making a fatal mistake. They are ever increasingly being hostile to devs and powerusers.

I see a lot of sentiment (including around these parts) that one should not care about those groups because they are a small percentage, but you could say that about any group. These groups definitely give your stuff a lot more value. I mean what is a smart phone with no apps? That's the real reason they took off. Arguably the same reason computers did too. Unless you really think you can do everything in house, then you need devs and power users (besides that it helps with finding bugs). You don't need to make the platforms geared towards them, but I think there is a difference when you start acting hostile. I mean isn't the reason Silicon Valley is full of macbooks in the first place is because mac felt more nix like and we could program on them more easily than windows? Seems short sighted.

Edit: fatal is too strong of a word. Google is doing it too and its monopoly behavior

Character.ai doesn't seem to have direct monetization mechanisms. In addition, sites like HN aren't generally held responsible for everything a user says. They could try to argue that the characters are sufficiently influenced by the user-generated prompts and user-facing conversations to be no longer their own. (Section 230)
Not that long ago, I tried using the FFT to do matrix multiplication since it was supposed to be asymptomatically faster. It turns out that the constant factor is huge compared to the O(n^3) grade school algorithm that BLAS optimizes via tiling and other tricks. Even if it looks expensive on paper, the cubic algorithm is fast.

I just wish I understood the tricks done to make it so fast so I could implement my own for variations for which there are no pre-existing BLAS implementations. The best BLAS implementations are all closed source sadly.

Maybe the FCC should explain this to some of the political spam culprits using hefty fines, because while those folks claim they honor "STOP" they send every campaign with a different number and the "STOP" message doesn't matter because they're clearly all meant to be "one-and-done" spam campaigns.

In a recent article about the capabilities and implications of AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), Casey Newton framed the discussion around two extremes: those who claim AI is "fake and sucks" and those who insist AI is "real and dangerous." This framing, however, glosses over more nuanced viewpoints about what LLMs can and cannot do, and how they might fit into our technological ecosystem.

Because I can manage it in a relatively understandable web interface and not have to deal with a bunch of config files. It's also significantly easier than Hackintoshing the machine, which is what I did previously.

I see you're a nixos enthusiast, so I take it you enjoy config files. I just like having a machine I don't have to think about.
I do not think it's about relationship - it's about exclusive/personal access which is what is promised/suggested. And no, it's not about sense of ownership either - just exclusive access.
