You just need to use two CAMM2 to get 256-bit bus, just like what you do with regular DIMMs when you need more channels.
I mean, is it impossible that the commodified web is a sufficient but not necessary condition for atrocities? "But we had the Holocaust without it!" Okay, nobody said the internet was THE cause of ALL atrocities, just that it's actively contributing to today's atrocities. I think your logic is a bit... wrong.
In (Theoretical) Computer Science it is sometimes helpful to be able to say "Any instance of an A-type Problem can be transformed into an instance of a B-type Problem by applying this polynomial-time procedure".

Say you have a problem that you know reasonably well (A-type) and another one that you're studying (B-type), intuitively, you'd say "If I transform B to A and I know the solution to A, then I solved B" but what you actually need to do is to transform A to B, this is called "reducing A to B", for some reason, and then you can say things like "B is at least as complex as A" and "I can solve some instances of B the way I solve the general case of A".

This doesn't really apply here since neither the "hard problems" TFA mentions nor "document ranking" are canonical problems that you would typically use in these proofs, but since he's borrowing the term from this part of CS I wanted to make that remark on its proper use. Hence why I wrote "minor nitpick".

The reduce operation that you mentioned doesn't make sense within the context of the article.
Or maybe open it up to scraping so someone can archive it--if the content is that useful, surely some hobbyist outside U.K. with a few GB of disk space would be willing to host it.
This operates within one drive. Possibly within one magical APFS “partition” (or whatever APFS calls partitions), I can’t remember
Framework entire brand is to let you upgrade parts on your own, and they said CAMM was technically impossible because signal integrity.
You know perfectly well that the UK is in Europe. Not necessary part of the EU, but Europe as a continent, yes.
Also there are now databases purpose built for specific domains. E.g. if you are building a financial ledger I would way rather be interfacing with TigerBeetle than scaffolding an application-driven ledger around Postgres. https://tigerbeetle.com/.

If I am scraping giant amounts of data I would run far away from Postgres for other databases like Amazon Redshift.
> When converting OO concepts to English for non-programmers, it is indeed confusing to say “the order decided not to”—you say “the order couldn’t be” instead.

Passive language like "the order couldn't be" might be fine in some real world situations where I don't care about who caused the action. But in code I do care. Because somewhere in code the action has to be made. And yeah, you can put that logic into the Order entity, but then we are back to square one where "the order made the decision".

If we are talking about some event that happend, then sure, "the order was canceled" is perfectly fine. So making an "OrderWasCancelled" (or "OrderWasNotCancelled") object and storing it somewhere is intuitive. But we were talking about the action happening and that is a different thing.

Also, just to make that clear, I'm not talking just theoretically here. I started my career during the OOP hype time. I actually read books like head first design patterns and others about OOP. But ultimately, I found it's not productive at all, because it doesn't reflect how most people think - at least from my experience.

Therefore, I tend to write my code in the same way that non-technical people think. And it turns out, OOP is very far from that.
OK, why is this flagged?!? It's from the Economist for god's sake, I can't help but feel the reason why it got flagged was because it was critical of Musk?
Dedupe seemed more interesting when storage was expensive, but nowadays it feels like the overhead you get from running dedupe, in most cases, is priced-in. At least with software like CommVault for backups, dedupe requires beefy hardware and low-latency SSDs for the database, If there is even a few extra milliseconds of latency or the server can’t handle requests fast enough, your backup throughput absolutely tanks. Depending on your data though you could see some ridiculous savings here that make it worth the trouble.

I’ve heard many horror stories of dedupe related corruption or restoration woes though, especially after a ransomware attack.
It's ironic that someone would think that because their candidate of choice didn't win in a democratic election (if they were even an American).
Qualcomm doesn't belong in the list, Freedreno and Turnip are feature complete open source GPU drivers.
Also: Musk is in the headlines a lot right now with DOGE, but DOGE is officially a “temporary organization” which expires mid next year, plus Musk is employed by the White House using a status (special government employee) which only allows him to work for 130 days out of 365.

So, it seems plausible DOGE at some point might declare “mission accomplished” and be dissolved. Musk might step back from his White House role and spend more time on his companies. And then consumers may start to forget about all this… some new political controversy not involving Musk might take its place in the short attention span of the general public

Of course, maybe Musk will find the White House too addictive and find a way to sidestep all those time limits and become a permanent fixture in this administration (assuming also that Trump doesn’t tire of him at some point)-in which case this might be a longer-term weight around Tesla’s neck. We don’t know what’s going to happen
Yeah, completely understand that. I talked about this problem on stage as an illustration of how infuriatingly difficult these tools are to use because of the vast number of weird undocumented edge cases like this.

This is an unfortunate example though because it undermines one of the few ways in which I've grown to genuinely trust these models: I'm confident that if the model is top tier it will reliably answer questions about information I've directly fed into the context.

[... unless it's GPT-4o and the content was scanned images bundled in a PDF!]

It's also why I really care that I can control the context and see what's in it - systems that hide the context from me (most RAG systems, search assistants etc) leave me unable to confidently tell what's been fed in, which makes them even harder for me to trust.
to come up with and advocate for paired programming before the concept existed _is_ pretty brilliant. And you also don't understand how much those practices improved software engineering, presumably because when you started programming they were already entrenched ideas, and so all you see are their shortcomings.

Those ideas do have flaws, and most of us are looking to improve how we right code. So if you aren't blind to those flaws, please, write a book or a blog or whatever on the best ways to write software so that we can all learn.
If you don't tell people where, how are we gonna fix it? I found ONE broken image. one. It took me hours to find it. Please don't just vaguely tell me one image somewhere is broken. Please be specific next time!
I went up against my muni over their refusal to release their police General Orders (which seems real dumb in retrospect; we got the General Orders from most of Chicagoland with no protest†). I reached out to Matt Topic, who offered to sue for free, or send a nastygram for a billable hour.

I ended up doing the latter, because I gotta work in this town, but one consequence of fee recovery is that it's much easier to get representation for a FOIA suit.

That's not what they are saying. What they are saying is that the law as written doesn't require the things that many small sites have been saying will be too expensive to comply with. The law as written only requires those things for large site and sites with elevated risk of certain harms. For most small sites any required changes will just be minor tweaks to things they are already doing.
I guess the main difference is that a WAF attempts to spot things like injection (unbalanced delimiters, SQL keywords in HTTP payloads where SQL shouldn't exist, etc.) typically without knowledge of the schema, whereas GP is talking about the DBMS spotting queries where queries must exist but disagree with the schema. Might as well do both, I suppose.

You are comically off-base on this, man.

We are talking about a nuclear bomber. They put fucking nukes on these things. We have 70 years of operational history showing that the 8 engine arrangement works, and there is no good reason to make anything more than the most minimal changes. Go ahead and do that until you're blue in the face with some inconsequential junk SaaS product or phone app or whatever, but warplanes (and especially this one) are not the place to do it.

I'm just going to hope you're not actually serious about converting a commercial airliner to a bomber.

Because the judge doesn't know the details of how PKI works, and either the ToS for digicert doesn't spell out that they can revoke certs at any time (which would be problematic for a CA), or the judge didn't read, or didn't understand the ToS.
This is normal Indian work culture. You can also guess in most cases, the factory workers are a different caste from the managers.
You're right that doesn't fix it and it is annoying. I just learned something about git, thanks!

Thinking on this more I think I'd prefer changing `git checkout/switch <branch>` to automatically use `origin/<branch>` instead (like mook mentions in a sibling comment), rather than changing the `git pull` behavior.

Keeping the local branch refs in place after `git pull` lets you still easily see the local vs remote differences when running `git log`. Changing the behavior of `git checkout` or whatever you use to switch branches to auto fast-forward seems to be a way to have your cake and eat it too, almost.

But, clearly you've thought more on this than I have (having just learned about it lol), what do you think?
There’s so much hyperbole from the side that doesn’t want a reduction in wasteful spending and is resisting what voters asked for. Audits, accountability, and efficiency projects are all normal in the corporate world. It should be normal for government agencies as well. There have been similar efforts in some past administrations too. The real danger to America is doing nothing, which means continued runaway debt, and continued corruption from channeling taxpayer money to things like political nonprofits.

Random staffers are also not going to be good judges as to what’s critical in public services or what can be delivered cheaply or what is just not necessary, just like random employees wouldn’t be at any company. Their job is to follow the executive’s orders.

This letter also has no names listed. How is it established that it is legitimate?

>Yes, if I'm interpreting what you mean by "accelerate upwards". That's just the gravity feature. It's not a bug, and it's not emergent.

Gravity would be accelerating downwards.

>A major part of a neural network design is that variables can be activated in positive or negative directions as part of getting the output you want. Either direction is inherent.

This is true for traditional programs as well. But a variable being "activated" in either direction in runtime/inference, would not be a feature of the program. There is a very standard and well defined difference between runtime and design time.
It still seems like a massively gray area: despite the distinction between "would jeopardize" and "could jeopardize" as explained by TFA, the definition of "jeopardize" includes "danger" which means "could lead to harm" not "would lead to harm" at which point it hardly matters whether a thing "could endanger" or "would endanger" the security of the system.
> "query failed" or "query succeeded, here's the data"

Blind SQL injection is a type where no error is produced, but some subtle signal can indicate success or failure. The most interesting one that I know about is where the presence of a successful injection was a normal looking response that was one byte longer than an unsuccessful injection. This was used to not only figure out the schema, but to fully exfiltrate the entire database.

There is nothing in the log on the server that indicates an error.

Most of the relatively introductory SQL injection exercises that I taught proceed without any knowledge of the schema.

This is why SQL injection is so insidious.
It seems like we agree: the whole point of Mastadon is to do something that nearly all users don't want and actively fear - being forced to trust both the intentions and the opsec of anonymous individuals who are effectively beyond the law, and being blamed for trusting them if anything goes wrong ever.

Do you comply with the CCPA or GDPR, or are the users on your instance empowered by being given the "choice" to give you unlimited access, use, and retention of their data without their informed consent, even when it violates civil and criminal law?

If you think data privacy laws are wrong and intend to violate them, you should say so in a way that makes informed consent possible. If you're comfortable with rationalizing violating informed consent in some ways, it kind of implies the "content in accordance with your preferences" may similarly contain content of non-consensual acts that are also illegal.
Okay what's the categorical difference? Which meaningful category includes one but not the other?
As a US person, living in the US, with a US server, I would have absolutely zero reservations about hosting an online forum that may or may not welcome UK users.

> Reviews have a lot of noise, but it feels like it’s still the best source, unless anyone can recommend a better alternative.

I honestly hate this take, sure, it might be the best (easily available, broad enough thing), but it's not my point, I'm not shutting this down, but giving a remark on what kind of drawbacks should be considered when analysing this, not because it's probably the best you should assume it's perfect.
Nothing jumps out at me.
Well I’m convinced at least that there is potentially a significant danger. I’ll stick to microdosing shrooms.
Python is a fine language. It has a nice enough JIT compiler by now. Its structure is similar enough to JS to allow easy interop, and easy exposure of browser APIs exactly the way these APIs are exposed to JS.

But the power of Python currently mostly lies in its being a glue language. Python easily and neatly wraps things like numpy, scipy, polars, pytorch, etc, all implemented in native code. Not being able to use these would be a major limitation. But being able to use these would be a colossal change to the browsers' capabilities, security model, and, well, purpose.

The British legal system is a common law one like the U.S I believe, so it would be up to court interpretation.

Foreign interference would probably be interpreted as an organized campaign of interference being launched by a foreign power.

I find that most people don’t actually include the cost of solar fairly when making statements like this.

Maximum solar that fit on my roof, no battery with 1 EV with maybe 2 hours of driving per weekday - $250 minimum electric bill plus the cost of the solar system ($250 over 10yrs) = $500-$600/month. I almost never use AC or heat.

I obtain copyright permission of all original images before uploading and give people clear contacts to do it. I refuse to install extensions that could clobber the setup (many aren't compatible with postgres). I also make an attempt to contact rightsholders. the only stuff I don't have permission for is a few system image placeholders and the logos of companies. The SGI trademarks are basically gone though, HPE ain't using them.

> If you can find ways to collect and preserve copies of the software, that can be big value. Every version and variation of a title has sometimes been important after the fact. Maybe use archive.org for historical archiving of software with unclear licensing status, and link to it from your wiki, with your wiki providing the background text and organizing that isn't archive.org's strong suit. (I'm not talking about piracy, but just trying to ensure that any copy at all survives, which had been a real problem on some other platforms of this era. Also, it's easier to get a company to say that such-and-such software from a company three acquisitions ago is OK for people to run on vintage boxes and in emulators and museums, than to ask them to find and provide a working copy, which they usually cannot.)

Over at IRIXNet we do have some files and such preserving what's not likely to get us in trouble, but I choose to not deal with copyrighted works on tech-pubs (which unlike IRIXNet is my pet project, not a part of IRIXNet)
I’m not blaming Elon for California’s electricity policies.
He will never be replaced as the CEO IMO. His cult like following is why the share price is what it is. It's unusual but it was only valued so highly because of him. The shareholders would rather see the company bankrupt than lose his "value add". They believe he will turn it all around, maybe he will?

The only question that remains is whether or not his brand is still salvageable. I'm leaning towards "no", he has taken things really far now. People are pretty fickle. But he is doing some really extreme things and I think it's going to be hard to walk back. Personally I think the emperor has no clothes but let's see.

Based on what China has been doing with EVs, I'm even questioning the narrative that he actually had much to do with kicking off the EV revolution, or whether or not it was going to happen regardless. I think it's the later. China was already going to be the dominant player and was already moving in the EV direction because their dependence on foreign oil wasn't to their benefit.
Yes the confidence tbh is getting a bit out of hand. I see the same thing with coding with our SAAS, once the problems get bigger I find myself more often than not starting to code the old way, even over "fixing ai’s code", because the issues are often too much.

Ithink more certainty communication could help. Especially when they talk about docs or 3rd party packages etc. Regularly even Sonnet 3-7 just invents stuff...
It seems utterly absurd to me that anybody should be able to issue a copyright claim on a collection of colors and fonts. Copyrights are issued to logos and slogans, not design systems.
In Denmark, electric is about 5-10% cheaper with my hybrid compared to gasoline. It also has the convenience that my car can charge at the car park without me doing anything.

Interestingly, the savings from parking fees are a thousandfold more worth it than the gas stuff.
The article suggests that the important features are nano-scale things, like the "grain" of the molecules that comprise the surface, versus whether the surface is concave/convex/flat on a larger scale.

I wonder if portions of a thin ribbon of float glass could be useful, if the ribbon is consistently and continuously removed from the molten metal in a way that protects the bottom surface.
Yes, the famous smooth chair in daycare. This blue plastic chair always had a heavy static buildup and would painfully shock you no matter how many times it was discharged.
