Thanks, this is really embedded in the documentation and is not at all even hinted at in the above documentation. This seems like a huge DoS security hole. I encourage you to write a blog post about this. It seems especially relevant.

Could you go into more detail about this issue and provide some links to the documentation? I'm absolutely no expert, I'm just reading about it now, but from the SQLite WAL documentation [0]: > 7. There is the extra operation

I was given my invite from a decent person who, I believe, basically has an "open door" policy. I'm happy to pay it forward and give you an invite if you want it. abetusk@mechaelephant.com

These look really nice and I love the idea. Does anyone have a resource for something like this but under a libre/free license?

by abetusk 3mo ago
Yeah, that is odd. Maybe a mistake? I don't think this is what's going on here but CC0 was expressly created because not every jurisdiction had a concept of "public domain", so a special license was needed to make sure i

Anything the US government publishes directly is in the public domain, including the contents of climate.gov, when it was online. One of the reasons the migration could happen without legal repercussions is precisely because the information

There are many articles extolling the virtues of Lisp. I would like to see some articles that have a level-headed criticisms or critique of Lisp, it's ideas and it's place in the ecosystem of languages. Articles like this, and the

I certainly don't have deep knowledge in this area but my understanding is that the cartridge is basically a cavity with a small hole at the bottom and a piezo electric element at the top to sputter liquid down. The tolerances are tigh

From their FAQ: > Open Printer is distributed under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0 license. The non-commercial clause makes it non-open by the commonly accepted term of "open" in this context.

I agree with a lot of this sentiment but it assumes a level of stability so that standardization can be effective. Standardization before stabilization has the potential to cripple efficiency with inefficient abstractions. One benefit of a

Concurrency is a programming abstraction that conceptually allows multiple independent processes to run at the same time using scheduling. For example, running ten programs at once with only a single CPU. Concurrency is effectively CPU sche

There's a long history of proving results like this. NP-Completeness is the norm, not the exception. Any system that's complex enough is almost surely NP-Complete. For similar reasons, Turing Machine Equivalence is also the norm,

Ron Maimon uses an argument that relies purely on symmetry, which circumvents the standard explanations, including many in this thread. In some sense, this is the simplified version of Noether's theorem (as far as I understand it). As

I was careful to say "Moore's law-like". Moore's law is stated as "transistor count per area doubles about every 2 years." [0] As stated, then yes, this might be true but, while important, that's not real

Moore's law or one of its generalizations still holds, so it will only be a short matter of time before a $1k computer will be able to train and run a powerful enough model.

I appreciate where the author is coming from, as we often have much more context because of training that have since atrophied a bit, but in defense of the dynamic programming solution, this generalizes very well. As stated, the choose(2n,n

Can you give some context or references as to what the "universal separability signal" is? You may also want to add it to the vercel.app page.

Very cute idea.

This is like a modern form of "I could do that in a weekend". Try reading the article before making such statements. There's a lot of pre-processing, experimentation and validation that went into this project. The training da
