That is a very wild shape indeed. I wonder if there is some analytical way to derive these or if some type of search algorithm will remain the best way.

Maintaining and rewriting existing shit is quite well paying though, and also something that AI seems to struggle with. (Funnily enough, AI seems to struggles even more with refactoring vibecoded projects than with refactoring human-written

This implies photographers used to be paid well in the past, which isn't true. Like painting or rock music, photography has always been a winner-takes-all kind of market where a select few can get quite wealthy but the vast majority wi

That's a clever trick, but giving up all the useful types of NMIs seems like a steep price to pay.

Maybe it has been, but said bigger company hasn't published their work? I disagree fast compile times are "required" for the professional market btw. They are nice, sure, but there's plenty of professional development ou

Depending on how powerful your air conditioner is, it would rapidly start cooling down the building to a temperature which is too low to still be comfortable. You could maybe buffer this with more thermal mass, but then you are back in the

Where do you get the idea that this is cheap? Militaries are somewhat famous for being incredible money sinks. They need incredibly specific skills that are not really taught in the civilian world. This means the military needs to train eve

> Consistency is good but consistent mediocrity is an unworthy ambition in many fields. Sorry to take only a small part of an otherwise great comment but is this actually true? It seems to me that there is a great many fields in which co

Yes. But not if you set up a timer to do it automatically. (As long as you set up the timer before shabat obviously) There is also apparently a slightly more technologically minded sub-sect of Judaism which considers only electricity genera

Only if you believe the loopholes to be actually loopholes. I'm not religious, but taking the word of God and declaring that it means something else than what it actually says would be a textbook example of the sin of hubris, no?

Just asked my wife about this, who grew up Jewish and also loves debating these things as she's a programmer. Apparently the rules describe certain activities that one is not allowed to do, which in practice block most people from doin

An omniscient God can't be outwitted by stuff in the small print. If there's a loophole in the small print, God put it there on purpose. If anything, He would be delighted that some of his followers read the holy books closely eno

by WJW 1y ago
He isn't, of course. According to Jewish thought, God is perfect and therefore any loopholes in the rules were put there on purpose. If you have studied the holy texts deeply enough to find the loophole, that makes you more holy, not

I was wondering about this too and did some googling. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/1510/1/... indicates that it's probably above 900nm wavelength, as beyond that you get

It's a reference to the "Armageddon" movie from 1998 when a bunch of oil rig drillers get recruited into being astronauts for plot reasons. It was a decent enough movie but nothing you need to look up unless you have an unhea

I mean exactly companies like AWS and Azure, who are basically in the business of renting out hardware with custom software pre-installed. Paying licensing fees for hundreds of thousands of Elasticache users might very well be more expensiv

TBH I think 99% of users don't care who owns the project as long as they get their free KV store to stick data into. From a business perspective Redis falls into this really awkward niche where its does like 50 different things but mos

How often do you (re)install redis-server for this to be a problem? It's just a thing you type once in a build script for me.

Yea sure I see what you mean. So can you tell me what reputation AMD has for CUDA support on Linux? Or any of the other GPU providers? They have none because their driver support is nonexistent. That's why everyone under the sun uses N

Super wild hack. Because the branch predictor tables are updated asynchronously, you can SYSCALL into the kernel and get it to speculatively load privileged memory. Then afterwards it is possible to leak this memory by using already known S

I'll add to that: even though it is true that "drivers nor linux nor software in any way has ever really been nvidia's strong-suit", as GP put it, their software was still miles ahead of its competitors. In the land of

Same reason we don't build bridges out of titanium: panzerholz is more expensive than normal wood, and normal wood is good enough for most applications where it's used.

It wouldn't be too hard to set up a marketplace like that, but how do you know your bot is good enough to not accidentally bankrupt the business it's bidding on behalf of? Ads have this wonderful property that individual ads are

Choosing Rust for new projects is very different than trying to rewrite an existing codebase with thousands of hours poured into it. Or worse, demanding that someone else do that for you for free.

I know very little about bluetooth firmware beyond using it for apps and such, but what kind of regulatory reasons are there that prevent publishing source code for bluetooth radios?

Well obviously. And there would be no wars if everybody made peace a priority. It's obvious for both cases where the real priorities of humanity lie.

Many things are visible from the moon if you have strong enough telescopes. But that doesn't mean much; if you can see the Great Wall then you can also see most highways.
