If cybersecurity is slowly ramping up in complexity, isn’t the statement “we’re living through the most consequential hundred days in history” always trivially true?

jj is rapidly becoming the new standard for post-git VCS in my circles. I’d love to see more startups working on that.

I liked it! Qntm's prose is what hooked me. If you'd like a representative sample, check out the previous version which remains available on the SCP wiki: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/antimemetics-division-hub As

does anyone have pointers to similar articles that talk about GPU history? One example is "No graphics API" by Sebastian Aaltonen shared here 3 months ago, which is a great tour de force of graphics stack innovations through contr

Oh certainly, but this particular article also reads very strongly like LLM output to me.

The WikiEDU project has some thoughts on this. They found Pangram good enough to detect LLM usage while teaching editors to make their first Wikipedia edits, at least enough to intervene and nudge the student. They didn’t use it punatively

Counterpoint: everything creates chores. That’s the nature of things. Having to re-pair headphones is like having to clean dishes. Clearing out inboxes is like dusting. You don’t have to do them, but the author correctly points out that cru

Performance regressions are different from ABI incompatibilities. If the kernel refused to do any work that slowed down any userspace program, the pace would go a lot slower.

The mouse wheel zooms. The bounds of the axis stay fixed on the screen however. It will become more intuitive if you draw a circle to the screen first. To pan around the space, use the right mouse button. To zoom, use the scroll wheel. To r

Here's how jj handles this situation. I made `foo.py` in ymywkkys, the base change. I added the logging line in ystzrmlq. For the other branch, I ran `jj edit ym` and changed the function body to just `return 42` in vxuxqtnu. Finally,

Hey I wrote a paper about this exactly ten years ago! https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.04504 I focused on facebook’s detector (not recognizer) for reasons explained in the intro, but face rec has come a long way since then.

This year, having their own submissions desk-rejected is strong enough of a signal that the policy has some teeth behind it. Let’s ban em for life next year. I strongly feel that deterrence should be the goal here, not retribution IMO.

Perhaps the solution could be to have all players stream the game from a centralized instance, rather than all clients streaming from the host’s instance. That would have a number of advantages, come to think of it. For starters, install si
