Could have submitted it to https://haveibeenpwned.com/ Chances are some blackhat already discovered this data and sold it.

There is probably at least one European citizen in there, so GDPR applies.

In October was this chaotic election of the Speaker of the House. Indeed, a few people following the news closely where quite good in predicting the outcome: https://marketwise.substack.com/p/speaker-election-interview.

I agree. The article succumbs to a False Binary Fallacy, where forecasts are either correct or wrong. The real question about forecasts is how certain they are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma

This is not possible. There is no database of sources inside an LLM. Just like the knowledge in your brain does not have sources attached. For an example, you referenced "what happened with Google News's home page". Could you

Hm, that is not the goal to me. It could be: * Entertain them. Meme pics should work great here. * Inform them. Here I would suggest to not use slides at all but rather show a document (blog post, handout, etc) which works on its own afterw

What was your goal in that presentation?

The most effective slide design are those silly meme pics. They are really good at the two points of the article: Focusing on one purpose per [pic] and reducing distractions on your [pics].

Are you ISO26262-compliant and your software is ASIL-A or higher? If no, why would you care about MISRA? If yes, how did you qualify a recent GCC? Safety-critical automotive software development depends on tool qualification, which is often

Well, you could try insurance/hedging. Then you either accomplish X or get your money back. The risk of losing time remains though. If you want to lower that, you need redundancy: Outsource the project multiple times. That also costs m

D has a bigger scope than Rust. It is Rust‘s scope plus use cases where a garbage collector is appreciated and it provides more meta programming mechanisms. It might be the most comprehensive programming language ever.

Niklaus Wirth (Pascal inventor) had the rule that compiler speed must never regress. So if you add an optimization (which means the compiler has to do more work), the optimization must "pay for itself" and make the compiler faster

Lemmy certainly got a boost but I'm not sure yet that is stable. https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy Nearly half the active users have disappeared again since the peak.

Doesn't the license conflict with itself? The "not-yet-Apache-licensed" code is obviously derived from the "now-Apache-licensed" code, thus it must be "Apache-licensed" too.

Prediction markets are not perfect but they are better than the usual alternatives like asking experts.

This is indeed a problem for long-term markets but long-term is more about 10 years and longer here. Something like "Will China invade Taiwan before 2040?" is a long-term example. Prediction markets are nearly 50-50 for democrat v

It is something of both. Like playing Poker can be gambling, yet one can also play it seriously and systematically earn money. The difference is that a Poker tournament is just entertainment for the audience. With prediction markets there i

Insider trading is illegal because the non-insiders would stop trading otherwise. Prediction markets have some problems but this isn't the biggest one. One can even use it for good. If a company gives its associates stocks but prevents

Working in the automotive sector, I find it even worse. Sometimes “system” means an ECU (e.g. a radar sensor), sometimes the whole car, sometimes even includes infrastructure (cloud, other cars, etc). Sometimes it is just a software compone

That does not feel like a fair comparison to me. More like Putin and Russia.

Removing the API for file access would be easy. Limiting compute time is the harder thing.

This metric is weird. Is it somehow better if “young” adults were homeless?

Yes, ChatGPT is good enough to help writing this stuff. It is still work though. Work which is not valued much and which most engineers like to avoid. Personally, I like it. For me, there is no better way to achieve clarity than writing abo

I’m pretty sure the main reasons such documents are not public are: Either nobody documented it or the document is badly written. So it is just too embarrassing.

The effect of EU’s Cyber Resilience Act will be interesting. It requires maintenance, at least for security fixes.

I wonder why the author considers war as negative to productivity when the ultra-productive century included two world wars. Isn’t destroying and rebuilding stuff good for GDP?

I’m a happy customer of Videobuster (Germany though) for DVD renting. Especially this model of „maintain a wish list“. It is much easier to pick something as a group if the choice is limited by availability.
