I was reminded immediately of Wolfram’s exploration of using cellular automata to get MNIST recognition results. The underlying mechanisms they both use are super different, but the ideas seem like strong siblings — I attach them in my mind as saying computational complexity is almost shockingly expressive, and finding ways to search around the space of computation is pretty powerful.

That said, I put in like 4 minutes skimming this paper, so my opinion is worth about the average of any Internet forum opinion on this topic.

Anyway, I suggest reading Wolfram as well on this, it’s pretty provocative.
Numerical Recipes is an old book, and received its share of criticism. It's also expensive, so beware before you buy. E.g. "`This chapter describes numerical methods for ODE's from the viewpoint of 1970."

Synapse, after a reboot and the cache is cold, uses less than that. I don't think our synapse server even has 8GB allocated to it.

But that's for private chat, we can't join large rooms because I deployed our server as a test, alongside Mattermost and rocket.chat. I haven't felt compelled to switch to dendrite or whatever, nor split the synapse microservices out, nor install postgres on a dedicated VM, and so on. All of which would make someone else's matrix experience better but my life ^ that much worse.
Maybe it’s downvoted because it’s an unsupported assumption you made and Americans are uniquely capable of recognizing that?
Ask for permission at several points and gradually move those points depending on frequency of use. While way to much for first use, if you've used the db 10 times per day for 5 years the 1 gb cap is very annoying.

Some feedback for the amount used would also be nice (also depending on frequency of use)
How to Run QwQ-32B effectively

You believe they really have hundreds of usable (error-corrected) qubits, or will have in few years? IMO there is no reason to think such stuff exists, even if it were state secret there would be leaks. Because the research effort is massive.

One thing I always appreciated about CoffeeScript was its [heregex syntax](https://coffeescript-cookbook.github.io/chapters/regular_exp...), which made regexes clear and easy to document.

Many CoffeeScript constructs were adopted into JavaScript and TypeScript, but unfortunately, heregexes weren't among them.

When Laughing Becomes Labor
A method I love, because it is actually a pleasure, is to find music you like in the language.

I love listening to the same songs over and over again anyway, and once in a while I get curious what they are actually saying in a new sentence.

I do this for learning German once in a while, but I am sure it would work fine for Swedish as well.

Markus Krunegård is my favourite right now, and I think he sings with a clear language.

But there are lots of (pop) music in Swedish with interesting lyrics; Veronica Maggio, Little Jinder, Håkan Hellström, Miss Li, Kent. A very random sample from a much much longer list obviously.

And a passive method, so, while it is pure joy, it needs to be complemented with actul studying of course.
Cool anecdote from inside article

> A seasoned performance engineer was looking through Strobelight data and discovered that by filtering on a particular std::vector function call (using the symbolized file and line number) he could identify computationally expensive array copies that happen unintentionally with the ‘auto’ keyword in C++.

> The engineer turned a few knobs, adjusted his Scuba query, and happened to notice one of these copies in a particularly hot call path in one of Meta’s largest ads services. He then cracked open his code editor to investigate whether this particular vector copy was intentional… it wasn’t.

> It was a simple mistake that any engineer working in C++ has made a hundred times.

> So, the engineer typed an “&” after the auto keyword to indicate we want a reference instead of a copy. It was a one-character commit, which, after it was shipped to production, equated to an estimated 15,000 servers in capacity savings per year!

I'm not a heavy listener. Most of the time I prefer silence. So I just wanted my music to be accessible when I need it.

As for the recommendations, occasionally I listen to the bandcamp feed. Not even sure if it's based on my followings. And before that I was using one specific forum to learn about new stuff. It's not there anymore. And I don't like the idea of algorithms telling me what to listen to.
The only presumption I'm making is that technological superiority rests with governments when it comes to implements of surveillance and violence and will likely continue to widen the gap. There's also another somewhat related consideration -- it would be a lot harder to get a military unit of citizens to fire against their fellow citizens than it would be for some operator somewhere to push a button to deploy the murder drones.
oh god, can you even imagine?
It's a cool anecdote. It's also a case study in heavyweight copies being something that shouldn't happen by default, and should require explicit annotation indicating that the engineer expects a heavyweight copy of the entire structure.
Why are you asking me? I already said this article that half of HN is raging at is scant on any detail. If you don’t know the answers to these questions, which would make sense because this article basically says nothing, and it’s important to you you should probably look into it.

Correct about altitude... it is a common misconception that height always improves reception, because it doesn't take into account that radio waves propagate in vastly different ways according to their frequency and wavelength.

My friend has Zephyrus G16 with Core 9 Ultra and 32GB RAM. This thing is abomination. It is enough to just open a browser for fans to start "drilling".

They're not, and engaging in prejudice puts you in the same camp as those you think you're generalizing against.
Switching the direction that you're twiddling the bolts would have to change the direction of any movement. But by symmetry, clockwise and counterclockwise twiddling are identical (looking down on the head of each bolt, one is always moving clockwise and one is always moving counterclockwise). So there must be no in/out movement at all.
Poor patterns elicit physical repugnance in some individuals, so the term is only more correct in those cases.

The term “smell” over something more concrete like “rotten” is quite perfect as what smells for me might not smell for you; whereas if something is rotten there’s little dispute.

Additionally, a code smell can describe code that feels wrong, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. Similar to catching a whiff of a new smell when out. You can’t quite discern where it came from, but it’s there.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 (actually 2 of them, long story) because I _have_ to have a stylus, and don't find the trifecta of: iPad, MacBook, and Apple Pencil a workable option (and the "tick" of the Apple Pencil being touched to the screen and the need to keep yet another battery charged would drive me nuts).

I'd give my interest in Hell for a successor to the Axiotron ModBook, and if the Wacom Movink 13 had a screen resolution to compeat w/ the 3K OLED on my GB3, I'd give up on having a battery and have it and a Mac Mini, so that I could get back to something like to my NeXT Cube w/ Wacom ArtZ (which was paired w/ an NCR-3125 running PenPoint for portability).

So yeah, the hardware on the Windows side is better suited to some folks, and I agree that the software really, really needs work. Things I miss:

- Miller Column File Browser

- Services

- emacs shortcuts when using a keyboard

- TeXshop and other Cocoa apps

Things which annoy me on Windows

- the need to keep Settings open and toggle how the stylus behaves

- not being able to select text in most web browsers (Firefox and derivatives at least still have a working configuration for allowing this)

- the need to manage various settings to keep ads and Copilot from intruding

That said, having a Wacom One paired w/ my MacBook works pretty well, it's just not something I can use away from my desk.

It's been a while since I saw it, but from what I remember the original airing was fairly intelligently scrambled. You have a spine of episodes that consist of the original light novel, which occur in the same order they did in that book. This introduces the characters and the main plot, and ends in a climax that has to be at the end.

You then have a series of one-shot stories from the books (and one original episode contributed by the creator of Full Metal Panic!) that get scattered throughout, as there wasn't enough content for a full season, and it would be weird to have the climax occur mid-season.

That's not what that phrase means. That's not even what the word "obscure" means. Obscurity is trying to not draw attention to something, or keep it hidden (as in "nobody knows that it's there", not "you know that it's there but can't access it"). Encryption doesn't obscure data unless you're stretching the definition of the word beyond its useful purpose.

"Security through obscurity" can definitely be defined in a meaningful way.

The opposite of "bad security through obscurity" is using completely public and standard mechanisms/protocols/algorithms such as TLS, PGP or pin tumbler locks. The security then comes from the keys and other secrets, which are chosen from the space permitted by the mechanism with sufficient entropy or other desirable properties.

The line is drawn between obscuring the mechanism, which is designed to have measurable security properties (cryptographic strength, enumeration prevention, lock security pins), and obscuring the keys that are essentially just random hidden information.

Obscuring the mechanism provides some security as well, sure, but a public mechanism can be publicly verified to provide security based only on secret keys.

> Hasn't this been debunked multiple times already?

No. One of the main problems with the C user base is that there's a sizable number of developers who attach some sort of special status to C as the closest thing to assembly language and get incredibly belligerent with compilers when they fail to reproduce the exact assembly they were expecting. (Cryptographers angry that the compiler is getting rid of their constant-time tricks is one of the more notable cases, no matter how many times compiler vendors keep saying "stop using C if you want constant time, we don't guarantee it, we won't guarantee it").

> What are you comparing it to?

The reality is that C isn't meaningfully closer to assembly language than just about any other non-runtime based language--things like Fortran, Pascal, Rust, Zig, etc. are all around as good as C at representing machine hardware. Honestly, I'd say Rust is marginally better than C, by virtue of the fact that it allows multiple return types and lacks some of the implicit conversion inanities of C.

> Uh, okay, then what is?

The closest notable language you'll probably find is... LLVM IR (although I'd caveat that with LLVM IR isn't meant to actually be written by hand). LLVM does hew too close to the C abstract machine to be truly effective in this role, but it does make the crucial first step of having a distinction between registers and memory that is absent in all of the regular programming languages I'm aware of.
