I think "literally the opposite" is incorrect.

Their charter was to take over COMINT from the military into a new joint administrative agency. Their work includes securing communications between allies as much as it does breaking communications from our belligerents. This work necessarily provides them with the types of knowledge and experience that would be highly valuable in securing infrastructure against similar attacks.

Likewise they've involved themselves in both improving and harming civilian cryptography systems and research for years. They're a complex agency and the value of COMINT can be realized under many different root paradigms. It's absurd to think otherwise.

You should never look up potential domain names at the big registrars. Or most registrars. Or any registrars. They'll buy it out from under you if it generates enough attention. They know exactly how many people looked up $coolnewthang.xyz and they know the bidding offers. THEY have to register it for you.

Somebody at Godaddy probably did this before you thought of the domain in the past, which is why its in their network and rejecting bids. It knows the incoming bids. It's sitting on it until someone like you came along.

I use porkbun, no idea if they've stayed course in honesty but I believe so.

Also if you're looking at GoDaddy era webhosts, they all own most of the market. Bluehost, Hostgator (EIG), etc are all grouped with a ton of other webhosts for that low end $10 market.

So, stay away from those.

Registrars are a scam, too. And stupid tlds.

Upstream Go tricks Windows into enabling long path support by setting an undocumented flag in the PEB. The Microsoft Go fork can't use undocumented APIs, so this commit removes the hack.

There is no documented way to enable long path support from within the process, so this this is a breaking change for the Microsoft Go fork. Note that the Go standard library makes a best effort to support long paths by using the `\\?\` prefix when possible, so this change should only affect long relative paths, which can't be used with the `\\?\`.

lol?

May be the case is that filtering user by browser UA is no longer a feasible solution(new browsers and alike are growing), and neither running javascript(headless chrome everywhere).

You don't have to keep the soup perpetually simmering in modern times. You let the pot cool to room temp after eating, then throw in the fridge. Next day, bring to boil before dinner with enough time for the new ingredients to cook. This also makes sense for a home setup, unlike a restaurant where the replacement dynamics are very different.

Assuming you are only doing this for one meal a day, and not eating it for all your meals.
You didn't ask how to go hiking in the mountains, you asked how to "leave city limits". but you could still bike, go with friends, or rent a car for a day if no buses go where you want. Hiking locations tend to have lots of tourists so there would likely be bus routes, however.

Thanks! I'll text you here when I add the feature. It wouldn't be core, so I think that having two modes where you can read easily papers with LLms or not will be of great help.
I use cats so that I can write custom effect/wrapper types for e.g. "must happen in database transaction" or "has audit log" or "requires this level of access". (I'd also flag up the free monad, which is like a generic version of the command pattern - you just write your leaf action types and you get a command object for, well, free). Essentially, anything that you might think of using an annotation/AOP pointcut/reflection for, in Scala you can do it with plain old refactor-safe code and have it checked at compile time rather than runtime.

What the hype crowd doesn't get is that for most people, "a tool that randomly breaks" is not useful.
I'm not trying to convince you that zero page are hardware registers just that they can be thought of as register-like. If you were coding on a 68000 you might do some memory operation indirect via an address register like (a0)++ but on 6502 you do it via a zp pointer with the ++ handled by incrementing Y. You can have many of these pointers. They fufill what you might use registers for on another CPU. So no, they are not registers but they are register-like in the way that can be used as pointers, holding constants, temporaries and have the advantage of a cycle faster than regular memory access. I notice that some people who programmed the Z80 struggle with this way of looking at the 6502 which can be as efficient as the Z80 if coded properly.

From you POV this is probably a specious argument since there is a very definitive view of what a register is in a CPU and that because of the Church-Turing a 6502 can pretend to be anything including a 68000 or RISC-V - but all I will say is that it's still a worthwhile abstraction to hold when you're designing code for the 6502.

Going off track, a further abstraction that I find amusing is to consider the zero page a register file and 6502 assembly microcode. For sure you could then come up with your own ISA for the 6502 that would be nicer to program and more directly amenable to compilers. Steve Wozniak's Sweet16 was fun virtual 16 bit CPU that ran on the 6502.

See, there are biological men and women. If a human does not feel like it, what is the problem, what is the solution?

It reminds me of the debate „is it a hardware or software problem“. You could fix the software (driver) or the hardware. Or state „this configuration just does not work“.

Back to transgenders. Assume male hardware with software that wants to run on female hardware. Okay, change some parts of the hardware, improve. But don‘t expect compatibility or even equality to original hardware.
I'd expect that OpenAI's stronger reasoning models also don't generalize too far outside of the areas they are trained for. At the end of the day these are still just LLMs, trying to predict continuations, and how well they do is going to depend on how well the problem at hand matches their training data.

Perhaps the type of RL used to train them also has an effect on generalization, but choice of training data has to play a large part.
Just by imagining it, it would be a lot of fun haha.
> What if you ever want to leave the city limits?

In case you're being serious, you rent a car or take an Uber. A metropolis might as well be defined by its lack of car ownership.

Even when you're renting or being driven, you go as far as you can via train. (The Metro-North goes to an Appalachian trailhead [1].) It's safer, simpler, cheaper and nobody has the deadweight loss of being unpaid chauffeur.

Huh? You absolutely can hoard knowledge and you can most certainly purge knowledge as well.
I live in SW London. It's definitely suburbia, but the density is just about perfect, at least as I see it. Since about age 11 my kids were fairly free range - they could hang about outside with their friends (the street is very quiet, and there's a green space opposite), cycle to their friends, or use the frequent buses and trains, though we'd drive and pick them up if they were out late. Most weeks though, my car doesn't move Monday to Friday - I cycle to the station. There's plenty of green space around, and sailing and kayaking on the River Thames. But the good public transport and ability to cycle all around only really works because housing density is high. We have a four floor town house, so plenty of floor area but a fairly small garden. When we moved here, I thought it would be for just a few years, until we could afford somewhere with more land. Living previously in California, Massachusetts and elsewhere in the UK, it wasn't really my image of an ideal place. But we've been here 20 years and although I could afford to move anywhere now, I don't want to. I'm happy here. My neighbours are my friends, everyone knows everyone else, and I feel no need to try and impress anyone with how much land I have. Anyway, my point is that there probably is an optimal density for cities, and some European cities probably come close to that optimal.
The 6502 was a great CPU for its time and price point. I wrote many programs in its assembly language. However, if you're going to work on modern systems, there are too many differences for the 6502 to be a good first assembly language (unless the 6502 is your focus).

The 6502 was designed to be easily implemented with relatively few transistors. For that it was amazing. There is a reason it was popular! But its CPU registers are only 8-bit, its call stack is 256 bytes, and for real work you need to use the zero page (zpage) well. None of these are likely to relevant to a modern software developer using assembly. Its design encourages the use of global locations, again, an approach that don't make sense on modern systems.

I say this as someone who admires what the 6502 was able to achieve in its time, and I even have a long-running page dedicated to the 6502: https://dwheeler.com/6502/

If you want retro and easy, the 68000 has it beat in terms of simplicity of development. The 68K is quite regular & a little more like modern systems (sort of).

However, I think starting retro is often a disservice. Most the time the reason to use assembly is performance. If you're running code on chips more than a dollar or so, getting performance out of modern architectures is MUCH different than retro computers. For example, today a lot depends on memory cache latency, yet is typically not a serious concern on most retro computers. So learners will learn to focus on the wrong problems.

If you want a modern simple architecture, may I suggest RISC V? That's under a royalty-free open source license, and real computers use it today. It's pretty simple (your basic load-store architecture) and you can pick only the modules you care about. Full disclosure: I work for the Linux Foundation, but I'd say that anyway.

Plausible alternatives are ARM and x86. If you subset them, they're okay.

The reality is that assembly languages reflect the underlying system, and that will change over time.
Dark patterns abound. Maybe not a scam, but some deal of white collar fraud.

We need more than AI auto complete to do what matters most
The reality is that since the 90s, we've all gone from spending 70% of our time on things we enjoy to 30%. This shift is due to info overload, multitude of apps and processes creating mundane tasks a necessity or 40% of our life. At 9 to 5 is now such a phased out term that it irks people , it's since we struggle to make time for things we enjoy. The same has happened on our personal lives as well. There's a solution in AI, definitely.

If corporates can profit from it by automating most complex processes, then why can't we as individuals take advantage as well. It's time to empower ourselves by making the power of AI accessible to us for work & personal tasks. The power of desktop is now old.

Imagine us having a personal AI that recommends vacation plans by automatically working with your preferences, budget and prior reservations - we are now spending the 5hrs travel research time with our friends/family.

OR a personal AI that extracts UI elements from Figma, requirements of the UI from a doc and API from Postman to generate your 1st working ver of the app using your coding standards. The time saved can now help you spend time on what you enjoy the most - applying your hard earned skills on complex/customization/challenging tasks.

It's not only an AI tool for developers, it's also a tool for a developer who is a traveler. This is the tech world we should have. Let's just not AI auto complete, let's empower ourselves with such personal AI.
Do you agree there's this gap I speak of and power of personal AI (not generic AI) will fill this gap?

We have already have that: ISO 15408, Common Criteria [1]. Certification is already required and done for various classes of products before they can be purchased by the US government.

However, large commercial IT vendors such as Microsoft and Cisco were unable to achieve the minimum security requirements demanded for high criticality deployments, so the US government had to lower the minimum requirements so their bids could be accepted.

At this point, all vendors just specify and certify that their systems have absolutely no security properties and that is deemed adequate for purchase and deployment.

The problem is not lack of specification, it is that people accept and purchase products that certify and specify they have absolutely zero security.

1 year ago Cursor was way ahead. Copilot had only one model and it was 4k input 4k output and it was forgetting about the previous reply. It was horrible.

One year later, the input context is at 128k token if you use vs code insider (64k for stable). You have multiples models, etc. they still cut corner like o1 barely answer (I guess they severely restrict the amount of output token) but sonnet 3.5 works surprisingly well.

They do have rate limit, you can check their issues tracker on GitHub, there are complaints about rate limits every day.

All in all, for $10 it’s good value. Cursor is also great for $20 and you get more models and more features.

Copilot is catching up fast, but they are not there yet. But they finally woke up.
