I appreciate the sympathies. Everything's okay. I'm relatively comfortable with death. Though it still feels like we're in a local optima faraway removed from true nirvana, there's not much we can do about that currently. I don't know if any "speed run" of life today could solve it for those of us presently alive.

> If death is oblivion, then you won't be able to feel sad that you don't exist since there won't be a consciousness to interpret these feelings.

I've also taken this to mean that any pleasure and pain in this life are meaningless on a geological time span. Apart from what comfort we need to keep our mental health while still alive [1], we don't need to optimize for self-gratification, pleasure, or wealth accumulation. It's my excuse for grinding so hard at the few things that bring me meaning.

We're all traversing these gradients differently. The sum of what we learn and build will feed into the next generations. I hope the future is brighter for them than the wildest of we could dream of today.

Sorry to hear this. I was at Goto Chicago for one of his talks and he used a bunch of people to model TCP and participated and learned a lot about the protocol. Really nice person and great lecturer.

He also noted that GL INET devices have the LibreQos pre installed and recommended those routers.
That's exactly what I meant with the two last paragraphs.
Perhaps you could loop it back and make a quine, too.
The trouble with these kinds of games is that they put the more diligent students at a disadvantage. For example, someone might compare their experimental result against the textbook constant, realise it's wrong, and spend much more time trying to identify their "mistake", not realising they've been sabotaged. This puts further pressure on their other work.

One cannot argue that this is fair on the basis that it's the "real world", because all that does is reward the sloppier (middle) approach. It filters the very lazy from the average, but at the expense of the excellent.
At every round of the algorithm, all nodes with 0 in-degree (i.e. they are not depending on anyone) are collected as a dependence-free subset.

They serve as the root set to the rest of the graph for the current round. The depending nodes reached from root set have their in-degree decremented. When their in-degrees reach 0, they are added to the next root set.

I'm using double-buffering to maintain the current root set for processing and to collect the next root set for the next round, instead of using a queue as in Kahn's algorithm. At the end of the round, I simply swap the double-buffers. It's very efficient. When the next root set is empty, all nodes have been processed.
Yep, it's cold outside. So there's a CO2, energy, comfort (choose two) tradeoff.
I wouldn't skip the main exhibition area. In an era where people were called computers, the human experience was at the heart of the Bletchley Park machine. In the main area, you learn about the makeup of this apparatus: the different roles people had, how information flowed within and between the huts, and much more. There's also a little museum with fascinating artifacts and an area dedicated to Turing. Don't miss it.

On a side note, one thing every single one of my peers who have pursued a creative degree have echoed, be it architecture, literature, graphic design, industial design etc. - is that the only way to get a good grade is to find out what your professors personal preferences and opinions are and be in total and utter agreement with them.

Any amount of critical views tends to result in your work torn to pieces and you getting a shitty grade.

Your architecture professor likes turrets? Then better put them even on the chicken coop - that way he'll no you're one of the students who gets it.

Your lit professor loves a certain philosopher? - better not point out that you find his arguments circular, ponderous and betraying a lack of broad perspective.

This has been utterly weird to me considering I have encountered way less (but not zero) of this thing in engineering, and art is supposed to be about developing your self-expression, but I've heard this criticism so many times from so many places and formulated so strongly. I've had many people flat out leave their educations because of this, with others just quietly powering through.

This in of itself has changed my view of art education, and I've told many people to stay away from these places not because of the usual 'it's useless and you'll starve to death arguments' but because of this.

I'm not sure I can agree with that. I think the top level of curling has reached a point that's boring to watch as too many shots are perfect. It leads to boring games of waiting for a missed shot. It's far more entertaining to watch the chaos of a mixed doubles match. That said I wish I could see more than just the Olympics.
Just because the answer adheres to the schema does not mean that it’s correct.
Another point I'd add is that we've already got practical examples of computations that are especially hard for computers to practically do even if they are "obvious" in theory — we use those as a base for encryption, for instance.
This article motivated me to upgrade my hosting approach.

I've been running a DigitalOcean VPS for years hosting my personal projects. These include a static website, n8n workflows, and Umami analytics. I used manual Docker container management, Nginx, and manual Let's Encrypt certificate renewals. I was too lazy even to set up certbot.

I've migrated to a Portainer + Caddy setup. Now I have a UI for container management and automatic SSL certificate handling. It took about two hours.

Thanks for bringing me to 2025!

DeCSS
In 1999 a 15 year old Norwegian reverse engineered Hollywood’s unbreakable DVD encryption (the Content Scramble System) and wrote a tiny program called DeCSS. His goal? Simply to play DVDs on Linux. Hollywood’s reaction? Full blown panic. Studios sued under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), demanding DeCSS be erased from the internet. But what followed wasn’t just a legal battle - it was a circus of absurdity.

If an executable code - as ruled by a US judge - can be taken down, then what about... A t-shirt? A haiku? A sculpture? The code soon morphed in all imaginable ways, and hackers and activists were releasing it all around the world. It was even encoded as a prime number. An illegal prime number! But my personal favorites remain a rock song and a dramatic interpretation of the code released as an audiobook reading. Meanwhile, the lawyers, completely lost in the irony, at one point even sent a takedown notice to a cat.

Stay mischievous.

> This task, which likely required a great deal of manual labor and technical knowledge, was key to making the system work effectively and sustainably.

This is obviously AI. The writer should know that it either required manual labor or it did not, not maybe (AI loves to not "commit" to an answer and rather say maybe/likely). It also loves to loop in some vague claim about X being effective, sustainable, ethical, etc without providing any information as to WHY it is.

That and it being published on some blog spam website called techoreon.

Edit: For fun, I had o1-mini produce an article from the original source (Techspot it looks like), and it produced a similar line:

Right. I guess I did not understand your comment at all then. I am sorry I engaged.
TL;DR; all your analogies are less extreme than the claimed observation because they don't violate the principle that physical laws apply uniformly throughout space/time.

Theory or data/observation is a sort of layered thing. The lowest data level is the data that the Webb or whatever telescope gets, then you have the theory that what's being represented in galaxies and you have all suppositions of standard cosmology and in that you have a posited theory that galaxies as viewed from earth rotate in a "given direction".

The thing about this theory/observation/whatever is that it's a pattern that, if true, would only be visible on earth (or in vanishingly small area relative to the claimed area of the pattern). If such a thing were happening, it wouldn't just contradict current physical laws. It would contradict the paradigm science has had since Newton that physical laws apply uniformly throughout the cosmos and especially that the earth isn't the "center" of the universe. The observation of continents fitting together or violations of parity conservation aren't analogous because they involve things that can be meaningfully observed anywhere.

All this is to say "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". As far as investigating. I could or someone could, spend the effort needed to investigate this. But science actually should have one level of claim+evidence that's "interesting, let's investigate" and another that's "oh dear, that's really crank stuff and you'd need to truly vast evidence before I'd even look". Other science would be overwhelm by bullshit.
I'm really curious about this because it actually incurs some interesting possible customer service issues. Say someone signs up, then usage lapses for a while. Then they use it. Bam they're charged. Will they remember that they signed up? Some of these edge cases are defined in the article but remain unanswered. It sounds like the team at Kagi didn't even think about them, which is interesting. Still I'd like to know the answer.

> Since you cannot (it is technically not possible) create an ML model reproducing a style without having it ingest original works in that style

I very much disagree with this. Certainly no gen-AI model currently does this, but you could reinforcement-learn your way to Ghibli style. In language modelling, that's the entire point of the RLHF step.

As long as the style can be described or even recognized by humans, you can nudge your way towards it with multiple-choice sampling.

> such a tool is producing derivative works based on original work (let’s say, by Miyazaki or Studio Ghibli) at scale and for profit, then I have difficulty seeing how copyright law is not involved.

How is this different than a fairground caricaturist that draws subjects in the Simpsons style? They "ingested" lots of Groening-style media, and now they're creating works that are derivative of that style, at scale and for profit.

Learning from a work and being inspired by a work do not create 'derivative works' for the purposes of copyright. The boundary between that and an infringing quotation is fuzzy (note 'sampling' cases in music), but a style itself needs to be on the non-infringing side of things if art is to progress at all, even by humans.

Note that I'm leaving aside the issue of data-gathering; if OpenAI was downloading pirated copies of the Ghibli corpus then that act itself was copyright infringement, independently of the AI training and output.
> because the simulator had a bug

I had something similar happen when I was taking microcomputers (a HW/SW codesign class at my school). We had hand-built (as in everything was wire wrapped) 68k computers we were using and could only download our code over a 1200-baud serial line. Needless to say, it was slow as hell, even for the day (early 2000s). So, we used a 68k emulator to do most of our development work and testing.

Late one night (it was seriously like 1 or 2 am), our prof happened by the lab as we were working and asked to see how it was going. I was project lead and had been keeping him apprised and was confident we were almost complete. After waiting the 20 minutes to download our code (it was seriously only a couple dozen kb of code), it immediately failed, yet we could show it worked on the simulator. We single-stepped through the code (the only "debugger" we had available was a toggle switch for the clock and an LED hex readout of the 16-bit data bus). I had spent enough time staring at the bus over the course of the semester that I'd gotten quite good at decoding the instructions in my head. I immediately saw that we were doing a word-compare (16-bit) instead of a long-compare (32-bit) on an address. The simulator treated all address compares are 32-bit, regardless of the actual instruction. The real hardware, of course, did not. It was a simple fix. Literally one-bit. Did it in-memory on the computer instead of going through the 20-minute download again. Everything magically worked. Professor was impressed, too.

Individual or small team use, personal or professional, when 32GB VRAM (or 32+32) is sufficient, at the cost of 3.5k$ (or 3.5+3.5) instead of 25k$.

The RTX 5090 has a VRAM cost of 110$/GB; the H100 of 310$/GB.

(And even professional use in a small team will probably not have the card run at full throttle and peak consumption all day, outside NN training projects.)
not all bugs are crashing bugs, and not all crashing bugs are vulnerabilities (and not all vulnerabilities are crashing bugs, although they are all bugs).
No it can't. Turbulence does not introduce net-angular momentum. It just (re)distributes it. And the scale on which that "mixing" can happen is limited (essentially the speed of sound is smaller than the expansion of the universe in the early universe). So on large enough scale, it (~any vector value) must be add up to ~zero (up to the initialisation uncertainties). Or one of our fundamental assumptions is wrong. And that's why this is so interesting

For a highly engineered battery like a premium EV, there are coolant channels, temp monitoring, voltage monitoring, etc.

Soldering some connectors onto some random cells and knowing they shouldn't go over 4.2v is one thing, but measuring cell health via internal resistance, programming a controller to do temp shutoff and wiring up temp sensors, keeping cells balanced, is a lot of extra work, but critical if you at all care about not potentially burning down wherever they're stored.

Keeping the cells small and just using a hundred of them in parallel (and a hundred of these parallel packs in series to get up to the hundreds of volts needed), thus using ~10,000 cells, in EV batteries limits the maximum damage from one cell going worst-case, assuming your enclosure can contain it.

That being said, it seems there is a slow movement towards larger cells, from 18650 to 26650 or similar. But each cell on its own is still a dumb can of chemicals ready to go boom if you mistreat it.
Great if you are a skilled electrical engineer who owns a bunch of land somewhere that doesn't have any fire risk.

Rust has an Any type. It's rarely useful, but there are occasionally situations where a heterogeneous collection is the right thing to do. Casting the any type back to actual type is fairly nice though, as the operation returns an Option<T> and you're forced to deal with the case where your cast is wrong.
It's not an adequate defence but you should concede that a serious military do not actually want their best pilots and multilmillion dollar war fighting planes shot down? It is at the very least embarrassing.

> but also things like binary.Read()/Write().

binary.Read/Write already uses reflect as far as I can tell, so it wouldn't matter in that case. There is an optimization for numeric values in there, which may be what you are thinking of? But they are specified in the spec and that's not what we're talking about anyway (and if an optimization really had to go, for whatever reason, it wouldn't be the end of the world).

I know you link it further down, but there are two Masterpiece Editions, one for Myst (1999) and one for realMyst (2014). The one you link is the MPE of Myst, and technically not the original 1993 game, though as far as I can tell, it's just an upgrade of graphics and sound, whilst remaining faithful to the original.

I couldn't get realMyst to work back when I got it on GOG, so I'll admit I haven't tried it (nor its Masterpiece Edition), but I did enjoy the 2021 remake, although I noticed that even though it had been over a decade, I sped through that game (I mention this, because I actually visited it after having played the 2024 Riven remake, where the changes to the puzzles did stump me from time to time). Though, personally, I am more of a Riven fan.
