Sorry, that’ll teach me to state beliefs rather than facts. Thanks for the correction.

From my weak understanding, it’s the only ally the west (USA) has in the Middle East, so they’re important strategically - for military bases and other reasons I don’t really understand, and so are propped up by financial aid and weapons an

I used to think the same but I caved when I started using web interface email clients. Let’s face it, the world has moved on, new generations are online, and we are the wrong ones now.

Yep. I couldn’t write down my work one without a keyboard.

I’m only now learning about what OIDC IdP is (for those like me: openid connect identity provider). But from my reading, a self hosted gitlab can function as an oidc idp. That would be enough control, right?

Wow, I must say, what a great business idea (even though the business aspect may have been accidental And I’m not in the target audience personally) and how well-deserved the success is, given such an authentic origin. Best of luck to you!

Maybe that’s what happened already.

I think you are thinking in the right direction. Don’t fight gravity (AI) - gravity will win. Instead, change the system so that we (and the students) work with gravity rather than against it.

I have the same experience - never heard of it until I saw the meme. I have a feeling it’s something local to American schoolchildren.

Not that I find your argument invalid, but you’re not arguing against GP. At risk of belaboring the point or being redundant, GP is making the point that the Celsius vs Fahrenheit meaning of the arrays makes them Semantically different and

Not that you’re wrong, but Returns aren’t predicted using the branch predictor, but with the RSB (return stack buffer) which stores the return addresses of the current call stack. The x86 optimization manual (starting quite a few years ago)

Let’s appreciate the transparency and follow the project for progress rather than dismiss them for it.

As a parent of a 5 and 3 year old, I can confirm. No matter how long I’m forced successfully into getting up early, I’m still more alert and focused and happy as soon as the sun sets, and given the opportunity I’ll instantly slip back into

I’m surprised at all the negativity on perplexity. I think it’s a great approach (base answers on sources) and their product seems to deliver on the premise. That said, anecdotally, I find it’s a bit hit-miss: if it’s hit it’s a huge improv

Gosh, you’re likely right, but what if comparing the blocks (to decide on deduping) is a byte at a time and somehow that can be detected (with a timing channel or a uarch side channel)? Zfs likely compares the hash, but I think KSM doesn’t

Well said. I find the creator did a delightful job in his presentation. So much pride in the craftsmanship visible in his presentation as well as the finished product. I subscribed and hope for more videos..

At risk of saying something you know, CRDT’s may be a good fit for your use case. The problem is of course making changes offline that the user assumes are permanent but then later, when sync time comes, then turn out to conflict with chan

Nitpick, but I think you mean “can’t be overstated” - no matter how important you state the thing to be, it’s not overstated, because the thing is just that important. Hence, can’t be overstated.

That could actually be a top quality podcast - well moderated content from thoughtful people, many subject matter experts, with mostly thoughtful discussion.. (I read hn for the comments..) sounds good to me.

Even if your implication is correct (GP is a would-be viewer), doesn’t mean they’re wrong..

I actually think escaping the browser is a huge leap and a frequently a primary goal for a black hat. Eg someone trying to install ransomware, or a spy targeting a specific person or org. From outside the browser they can exploit kernel bug

This hypothesis is an eerily exact instance of the tinygrad (tinycorp) thesis, along the lines of “nvidia’s chip is better than yours. If you can’t make your software run well on nvidia’s chip, you have no hope of making it run well on your

Is a magnetic loop antenna not practical for HF operation? I’ve never tried it myself, but as someone who is also a little space constrained, that’s what I had my hopes pinned on for HF receiving with limited space.

You’re right, but I did not read GP to suggest otherwise. GP does not suggest using the output before enough entropy had been gathered, eg see ‘until’ in: > until you’re satisfied that the RNG has gotten a suitable amount of entropy.

Off-Topic, but drove around for a few months in a TN state “PWNAGE” license plate for the few months I lived there to intern :-) I loved that plate, it looked cool in real life; and I kept it, it’s proudly hanging in my NL office now.
