Without knowing the specifics, this is not necessarily the case. It could be implemented without needing to ping "the government". As a strawman idea, there could be a monthly refreshed distributed database of booleans per citizen

A browser can't tell if a site is on the local network. Ambiguous addresses may not be on the local network and conversely a local network may use global addresses especially with v6.

This reads like they used the GPU with Cycles: "Table 2 compares the timings on the four scenes in Figure 1 of our unoptimized RenderFormer (pure PyTorch implementation without DNN compilation, but with pre-caching of kernels)

The quote appears to be “We should stop training radiologists now, it’s just completely obvious within five years deep learning is going to do better than radiologists.” So there's some room for interpretation, the weaker interpretatio

Yep, it sounds ambiguous. So if there's potentially unsafety allowed in the semantics it would already be interesting. If it turns out that the specification permits "all bets are off" in OOM, eg if it can create conditions

Is the correct number implementation really the exception? The first 2 json decoders I just tried (Python & Clojure) worked correctly with that example.

> embrace a "Python 4" with a strict ownership model like Rust Rust only does this because it targets low-level use cases without automatic memory management, and makes a conscious tradeoff against ease of programming.

TS has the luxury of being its own distinct language, defining its own semantics and having its own compiler. You could have something like that targeting Python.

It was crashy years ago as well. In the host kernel driver part, which is the worst place. And half of open source dev projects had Vagrant setups needing VirtualBox. Even though Docker has its problems, it's not half as bad.

They don't say anything about untrusted VMs or security in the documentation ( https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/topics/guestadditions.html... ).

Despite the title, the vulnerable function name (vmsvga3dSurfaceMipBufferSize) tells it's in the VMSVGA virtual 3D graphics device, not basic VGA hardware needed for normal bootup console stuff.

A lot of Python usage is leveraging libraries with parallel kernels inside written in other languages. A subset of those is bottlenecked on Python side speed. A sub-subset of those are people who want to try no-GIL to address the bottleneck

This is probably the first time (not counting ignored times) it was been posted which doesn't have comments about breakage on some browser. Makes you wonder how long it takes that WebGPU reaches the same status.

Greenspun's rule worked in favour of Common Lisp (to the extent that it did...) because CL solves a lot of hard problems that ad-hoc solutions do poorly, like automatic memory management, DSLs, etc. But lots of apps can do with a light

Isn't the draw of mathematics the same way for lots of math-heads, they aren't necessarily interested in how meaningful real-world problems they are solving at the end. Not sure if Clojure is that special here, it's probably

Do you mean each different AI model should have a preferences section for it? This might technically work too since fine-tuning is apparently cheap.
