The Wikimedia Foundation (which runs Wikipedia) does not directly pay editors for content. oka.wiki is a non-profit organization that funds editors, mostly to translate articles. Their top 3 articles in English: * https://en.wiki

There isn't as big of a boost as you'd think, since for a templated function you have to #include the entire definition of said function in whatever source file is using it.

Biologics are phenomenal for this. Especially the selective ones. Sadly, they are also inaccessible to people of lower socioeconomic status.

The "wellness" industry is a way to scam rich people. You want to believe you can spend your money to opt out of environmental toxins by shopping at Erewhon. But you're still going to be exposed to all of this stuff unless

Yeah, but then it no longer replaces human artists. Controlnet has been the obvious future of image-generation for a while now.

If you want to reuse memory in C++, you'll either have to modify the string or return a string_view because strings must be null terminated (string_views are not). If you just chop off the last n-bytes of a string, it won't be a s

The first two years of my degree where I learned most of my university-level math/physics were online-only. There are likely millions of students who learned entirely from videos and PDFs.

I still like the blogpost, because NixOS bills itself as a technical solution to prevent build artifacts that are decoupled from the source code (i.e. not reproducible), and the xz backdoor was hidden in build artifacts.

Are you willing to take US$60k/year starting salary for roughly the same COL as Austin, Texas, but with a 40% income tax rate? The Canadian govt has decided our economy needs to specialize in very cheap software consulting that is prim

You cannot legally remove people from the subway for being insane. If someone is making me uncomfortable by regaling me with conspiracy theories and ethnic slurs, there isn't the clear legal authority to trespass them. However, if one

The subway needs a rich person car. It costs double the fare, but is cleaned more frequently and is free of the screamers/crazy people.

Personally I'd like to see whether img2img works are copyrightable. My understanding is that copyright applies to the human-generated parts of an image. So e.g. In the case of a comic where the art is AI but the caption is human, the l

Can a TN classification denial result in immigration detention? If so, how can I mitigate that risk? For context, a Canadian woman recently tried to enter into the USA from Mexico and get TN-1 status. Instead of refusing her entry, official

You're criticizing the prioritization of cost, not the concept of trying to solve for constraints. Engineering is about constrained optimization to meet customer needs.[1] Learning this is a core part of the curriculum at my accredited

Photographs and other original media are an exemption to the original research policy because otherwise it'd be impossible to get images in articles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research...

I would assume the bitstream would only contain non-secret implementation details and keys would be loaded at runtime rather than being synthesized into the design. In terms of moving the data over to the FPGA, I have no idea. But if it&#x2

I believe the challenge that FPGAs can address is sociotechnical, because the developer of a crypto library will have much more control over the stack and does not need to trust others. Many high-frequency trading companies use FPGAs over A

Can an integrated CPU-FPGA design (like the ones AMD sells) be a solution to this problem? Point 5 of the paper says: > Modern hardware and software stacks use a very layered structure, with each layer striving to hide its internal funct

Both of those countries dislike powerful, large corporations because they are a base of power that could compete with the state or party. The Wagner Group comes to mind. But China also did a huge crackdown affecting companies like Alibaba a

My university was too lazy to introduce automated marking for coding assignments. We have to go in-person to a lab session and demonstrate our code compiling/running to the TA, who asks us questions to verify understanding. It's h

I do competitive debate—which is improv essaying. ChatGPT still isn't up to the standard of tournaments because it just dumps a bunch of irrelevant points, when the hardest part of debate is showing the impact of a fact. It fails to
