Perhaps but won’t some of those blackhats pay $1 million or more? Depending where you live that’s retirement money. Honestly I’d be more worried about crossing the blackhats.

Oddly that puts the old Roman social conception of children bit more into perspective. They viewed children as nuisance to adults, particularly to men, from what I gather. Not that later European or other cultures were much different. Makes

I believe it'll take centuries before a new equilibrium is reached. There's likely a lot of challenges and strifes to come in this century alone.

It's pretty handy to setup an exit node on your home network so that when you go abroad you can still watch your streaming services too! More importantly you can use it to access your bank or other services which often block non-US IPs

Not particularly. There's a baseline intelligence required to become a (medical) doctor but no it's much more about grit and hard work among other factors [1]. Similarly for PhDs as well IMHO. Searching and IQs FOR doctors seem to

Amazing and only £3 million!? Out of my budget but that's probably about the cost of a normal house in London. Things like this fort make me convinced that automated electric drone taxis could open up a lot of living possibilities. Get

High IQ alone isn't a guarantor of success in demanding fields. Most studies I've read also show that IQs above 120 stop correlating with (more) success. That high IQ needs to be paired with hard work.

Those sub-scores BTW are very helpful in indicating or diagnosing learning disabilities. Folks with autism or adhd can have very different strength / weaknesses in intelligence.

What about shaving off a gram or two with a file? You know I'd personally volunteer to help them do that to avoid the tariffs.

And nothing like FOMO of developing markets not being able to access a product to drive VPs and CEOs to care about ensuring IPv6 support works with their products.

Well it's possible the LLM is re-creating the file to do it's updates. I've noticed in the past that LLMs tend to prefer doing that. Not to different from how a college CS student who hasn't learned git yet would do come

Even plain USB thumb drives are far more stable than SD cards. I suspect more room for capacitors that enable finishing writes on power out. I’ve had Samsung SlimFit USB drives with BTRFS last for years on rpi3s and rpi4s.

I would say the modern digital world itself has already had the bigger impact on human thinking, at least at work. It seems with computers we often think and reason far less than without. Everything required thought previously, now we can j

by elcritch 1y ago
CBOR (and MsgPack) still embraces that simplicity. It provides the same types of key-value, lists, and basic values. However the types are more precise allowing you to differentiate between int32’s or int64’s or between strings or bytes. Es
