Can someone explain this in simple language?

I'd expect it to take a decade at the very least and probably much longer. Don't hold your breath. Like compare it to other experimental stuff like quantum computers, light based computers. Where are they? Not on a shelf near me,

The fact that they it hasn't come out who did it makes me half-wonder if it's because it's very embarassing. Maybe someone connected to intelligence agency, rather than someone connected to Hamas.

This sounds like a good direction: even very infrequent, very brief stutters can be a dealbreaker for hardcore gamers, and make them chose wired over wifi.

I think it's worth asking why the jobs are in the cities. Given our information economy, why do the jobs need to be in the cities? My theory is that humanity (and subset of it) behave a bit like neural network. Social networks - neural

Seems like this is research that is laying foundations for further research, rather than research that tries help doctors solve problems on the ground. Nothing wrong with that.

I remember as a kid I used to peek through this semi-transparent hole in a blanket to look at floaters. I saw dozens and dozens of them. I thought they looked beautiful. At that time I wasn't sure exactly what caused them if it was rel

Eh, aren't the footprints of these datacenters really low compared to all the other things we use space for? Also they don't really need premium land they can be built basically anywhere, so you could put them where nothing could

Well I wanted to create an easy and familiar process for people installing from source, so I wanted it to be roughly git pull && ./configure && make && sudo make install. So I didn't consider restoring mtim

I have a vivid memory of autoconf. I set it up best as I could. Someone ran ./configure. It triggered a new run of autoconf that failed because of mismatching autoconf version. Why it triggered a new run? Because of mtime checks. Why d

I mean that's what's so good about them. The prior is a bit arbitrary and up for discussion. And Bayesianism is honest about it, it highlights that fact rather than trying to play fast and loose and sweep the issue under the rug
972.
by im3w1l 3y ago
I think the attraction of Bayesianism is kind of philosophical / aesethetical, it is is principled and sound and beautiful approach. It's kinda nice that it kinda extends and translates occams razors into numbers. Yes frequentist

I mean browsers are built for and the best at displaying html+css. Given that they are "living standards", very few other programs can hope to keep up.

Semi colons are a little understood and rarely used punctuation symbol, the mark of a true intellectual; it's only natural then, that those of us that know how the world really works use them more than others - and then there are those

The issue with that is if there is one or a handful of videos that have a significant portion of all youtube views. Most likely they will not be in your sample which could lead to a big underestimate.

by im3w1l 3y ago
Neat. Though the issue is that the disruption occurs exactly when you want to see the pins the most.

I think we must be careful not to use no-true-scotsman here. Imo, an attack should be considered valid if it works against a typical config - one you would arrive at following a popular tutorial, rather than requiring that it must work agai

That domain name does not inspire confidence.

by im3w1l 3y ago
That's pretty nice. Do you have any idea how it does it?
980.
by im3w1l 3y ago
I see, I suppose that kind of makes sense and is good enough. Maybe it would be nice to be able to mark fields / variables with critical invariants as unsafe, so that only unsafe code change them?

by im3w1l 3y ago
> a bug in safe code can easily cause unsound behavior in your unsafe code if you’re not careful. I thought the whole point of safe code was that any bugs in safe code cannot cause unsound behaivor, so it's on the unsafe code to mai

Thing is, it's not possible to stop it. Technology has advanced far enough, all the pieces are in place, so it's inevitable that someone will make this. What we should ask is rather how we can cope with its existence.

I was going to write a long essay about the relation between C and assembly but after thinking for a while, I think there is an easier way to explain it. Stack frames are basically a (single) linked list of information about the call stack.

I think the question we have to ask is why it has such a performance cost, and how we can circumvent it. There are likely multiple necessary changes for it to be fast. One part is implementing the check quickly, this could be hardware assis

If there is to be a push to add structured data to all the unix tools, I wish they would use a format that allows embedding binary data. Yes base64 is an option, but it suffers from the issue that base64(base64(base64(data))) leads to expon

Also why should you discard New York City? Like you could just as well say "if we discard some city where shoplifting fell, then it rose even more!"

I have to say that releasing genetically modified organisms that can permanently colonize our bodies and potentially spread from person to person sounds like something that should be incredibly restricted.

This is something I would want a subkey system to handle. Like it would be neat if you could have a masterkey that signs two separate keys and says "this is for proton" and "this separate key is for debian", in such a wa

To me it sounds like a useful thing, for communicating your vision and getting early feedback on whether you are building the right thing. Like uh, a live action blueprint. Let's say the client is like "Email???? That's no go

I see now that this comment was based on a misunderstanding of what an SNN is and how it works, so feel free to disregard.
