Hard to say whether he resigned, or "resigned". And I'm not sure there's a huge difference, practically speaking. By Greenwald's account, it was the former, I think. Either way, he took his marbles and went home. I

False dichotomy. I thought it was funny, and not in the least bit offensive. (And I also think it's a great handle).

... but only after making $400K+/year for seven years, winning a Pulitzer Prize, and then CHOOSING to leave The Intercept because they wouldn't publish his extreme far-right lunatic stuff. If Greenwald isn't currently doing w

Entering photos as evidence in a legal proceeding is currently bizarrely complex. You actually have to admit an expert witness to testify that the software used to process a photograph will not introduce artifacts. Even if you are simply zo

Specifically, the AIs were prompted to break into a company, and the subcontractor who was running the test misconfigured their network so that the AI probed a real external company instead of an internal honeypot with the same name.

That is strange. I use Gemini frequently, with Google Auto, and whenever I make that sort of query, which I do often, it displays "Searching on Google Maps...", and comes up with correct results. Odd that the desktop version doesn

> taking on debt you don't really need. How does that work? When inflation goes to 18%, borrowing rates go to 23%.

Of course. I don't think a language can support async/await without a library implementation, or the language features that support it. And I can't honestly think of another paradigm that doesn't require callback functio

Why would you not AOT compile at install time?! That would allow the compile to use CPU-specific features? And put a compiled preamble for class initialization on applicable functions that patches the VTABLE to skip the class initialization

The principal difference between dispatching in a thread-based framework and async/await is that async/await allows you to program sequences of asynchronous operations much more easily. No more separation of code that initiates an

If you mentioned your needs in the article, I don't see it. You need to explicitly state somewhere that you are only interested in the camera app and the phone app. I mean I guess it's obvious that you're going to end up with

Having established that they aren't neccesarily slop, may we ask how you determined which ones were written by AI? Or is that a matter of opinion too?

Yes, the tried-and-true first apartment cheap stuff is still there. But the majority of what's for sale in IKEA these days is of significantly better quality (and significantly higher price). The best alternative to IKEA furniture is m

Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty,

My recently-purchased Google Pixel 10 Pro has an unlockable bootloader. (Although it may be locked if you buy it through a provider). And, for a nominal one-time payment, you can register as a developer, and compile, install and run absolut

Silly theory for why minor sounds sad: Say "ah", like you've just discovered something interesting. Now say "ah" like you've been told something sad. Notice the pitch difference? And notice how both pitches are

I've done that for transpilation from SAOL (an MPEG 4 historically curious language) to C++. It does make it incredibly easy to write the compiler. The big drawback that I never managed to sort out is how to integrate with visual debug

Harry Potter would have posted the original video to YouTube instead. It seems like a tragic irony, and perhaps a sign of danger, that OP posted the demo video to the website of He Who Should Not Be Named. Why? Why?!

Current state of the art in guitar emulations are Neural Amp Modeler Core A2 plugins, which are dramatically better than Line6 amp emulations. (See the results of large scale listening tests in the following page that compare NAM A2 against

Also not getting the downvotes. It's not a rhetorical question; it's a question looking for an answer. If somebody could explain why "Scope" gets should get precious space in the title of a commit, I'd be grateful.
