That's a completely different person, they (ludic and smileplease) just both happen to be publishing on mataroa.blog. This is a blogging website anybody can sign up for, basically Medium but for nerds.

I've definitely realized this in a couple of markets: Buy cheap, get trash. Buy expensive, get expensive trash with better marketing. Working with power tools from various brands has made me realize they all cheap out in the same ways.

Oh they exist all over the place. Pix is just unique in its success. It has only been around for ~5 years and it's completely taken over the country.

Interesting that you'd mention Brazil. I consider it one of the very few examples of countries successfully replacing PayPal with a publicly owned service. Pix is ubiquitous in Brazil and has been for years. It has not only displaced P

Is it an error though? The general public has noticed, everyone hates their guts but investment is still flowing.

Why? Because their messaging is not addressing the general public, but their investors. And they've realized that their investors are really receptive to panic-baiting (we'll get rid of jobs, ASI is right around the corner, p(doom

There is deliberate randomness in stockfish. The easiest way to see this is from the fact that, when playing the white pieces, it won't play the same opening move every time. Often it's e5, but it also goes for e4 or Nf3 or some

Ah yes, the thing wrong with AI is how it won't help you kill your wife. I didn't check the author first so I was about to go "why the hell is this on the front page?" but oh well. geohot being geohot.

The concept of waste-heat-to-power (WHP) exists, but its efficiency is limited by thermodynamics. Basically, heat energy is not equal to usable energy. All energy ultimately wants to be heat energy, and it is much easier and more efficient

No, a classic GR black hole does not have its own magnetic field. It can have electric charge, along with mass and spin, but that's it. There is a somewhat fringe alternative idea called a MECO, which can have a magnetic field. Unlike

Yes, exactly. Black hole mergers are the one thing exempt from the Eddington Limit, because there is no friction there.

We are no longer in the era of FOSS where contributions are purely motivated by either scratching your own itch, altruism or curiosity. Haven't been for over a decade, since that's how long companies have been checking out applica

FWIW, debian did the gentoo approach for years. I used to run debian with OpenRC during a time when systemd was already the default. It and other init systems remained fully supported by the distro for quite a while. Eventually, the pain of

The line would look the exact same if you switched it to price per PB. Only the labels on the y-axis would change.

Besides Romanians, there are several more eastern european romance-language-speaking peoples ("Vlachs") like Aromanians, Megleno-Romanians and Istro-Romanians. I think they might also deserve a mention.

We are saying the same things, just expressing them in different terms. Yes, only idempotent methods and "safe" POST requests don't need preflight. And I'm saying you need to make sure in your server implementation that

Even TFA seemingly doesn't understand CORS. Or at least misreprents it grossly: > The webserver listening in on localhost:19421 should implement a REST API and set a Access-Control-Allow-Origin header with the value https:/&#x

Well, is this mad dash for AI producing "outcomes that are beneficial for society at large" yet? So far it looks like its mostly producing a ton of negative externalities and wealth transfer to corrupt elites. Also, no, abandoning

If Google ever decides to "close the door" on these too, all they need to do is make Chrome always use DoH instead of classic DNS.

We would not be able to agree on that. Already today, some of the people who would actually be able to unplug some of them (Anthropic) are worrying about "model welfare". I think you are not putting together how much of an anti-hu

Sockets are officially specified in wasip1: https://wasi.dev/releases/wasi-p1 Notably, listen and connect are missing. But sockets themselves were in there.

> WASI still leaves something to be desired. Why can't I have raw sockets and file access and stuff, in a POSIX-like way? FWIW, that's exactly what they shipped first, with WASI preview 1 (wasip1). You can still use this today,

Most of the points listed are hardly considered lispy anymore these days, Python also has most of these. Where Ruby's lisp lineage really shows is the fact that it's got Kernel#callcc, aka call with current continuation. It doesn&

It's a bit of in-group signaling but I think, importantly, also date signaling. A 2026 hype website looks different from a 2020 hype website looks different from a 2010 hype website. Having a generic 2026 hype website look tells visito

No. We have an infinitely more succinct formalism, it's Turing machines. Succinctness is not necessarily a desirable property, it just says where on the capability-tractability tradeoff something is. Turing machines can express literal

That's true, but critical processes could mlockall() after setup, so their stuff never needs paging in.

All words are labels. You cannot make an argument without using them. "cheap rhetorical trick" or "resorting to labels" are just labels as well.
