Agreed that this is why a lot of people support the current UB situation, but the history of UB makes this feel wrong: > As far as I can tell, C89 did not use performance as a justification for any of its undefined behaviors. They were n

IIUC, the forgery path then involves getting any legitimate California license and changing the photo only? I guess that works.

Correct. In data protection, backup is not the feature. Restore is the feature.

This is a really good point. Related, Matt Levine has recently been writing about how the AI labs are paying huge amounts of money to tech/math/AI people but these people don't actually know how to spend it. https:/&#x2

Yes, you need to manually verify the statement of the theorem of interest of formalized correctly. But you don't need to anything more than this: you can rely on the proof being correct. And the proof is overwhelmingly the most amount

Yeah I think the verb "removed" is not the right verb here, because the paper in question is OpenAI's hypothetical paper which Alpöge is not on in the first place.

NYC zoning is less limiting than LA, but still extremely limiting.

I agree; that’s why I think we need a moratorium on human drivers while we figure this all out.

Awesome, thank you for sharing!

Very nice. As a follow up would be interesting to also reverse engineer the structure of the vtable itself. I guess it’s a list of pointers to the method implementations?

I think the issue is that you knew there was a bug to be found in the write and checkpoint interactions, which then determined which workload you built. My understanding is that this workload is very uncommon: the Tailscale blog says they u

Yep realized this after that my second solution (push a 0 if n is incremented) has the same branch prediction problem. I think yours works. Alternatively in the loop: if out.len() < n { out.push(0); } out[n] = x;

I disagree in the sense that you can rewrite the code to use the trick and also not allocate in advance. Nothing about the trick requires you to allocate up front: before writing to out[n] you can extend the vector if it’s out of bounds. Or

Yes the night before you look at your calendar and figure out what time you need to be online at. In general if you want a no-internet 1 hour in the morning, organize yourself to wake up 1 hour earlier (maybe going to sleep 1 hour earlier).

Consider turning off the internet before you go to bed and not turning it on for at least 1 hour after you wake up. I think I got this idea from Craig Mod (who I believe does no internet until after lunch). I've been doing this for a f

Same with leap days though? The point is that it's weird that we handle a day every 4 years off in a different way to a couple of second being off.

As one HN comment said years ago: I feel leap seconds have always lived in the wrong abstraction layer. They should live in the same abstraction layer that does leap days and daylight savings: the time zones.

Fair point. Mainly I agree with the sibling comment: the revealed preference of many people around the world, including many people from the richest countries in Europe, is to move the United States and then settle permanently. I think that

But the success hasn't ended since the unused land became taken; in fact, the US became a superpower after the westward expansion era. My point is that looking at conditions today, the US still continues to succeed (by some definition

Given the US is one of the most (the most?) successful countries in recent human history, shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't the 95% be looking at the US and seeing what to copy?

Thank for the suggestion, implemented it! Now all suggestions have at least one hyphen and one position where the patterns disagree (one pattern says hyphenate, another to not hyphenate). I discovered you don't necessarily need long wo

This product is for Postgres deployments that are so large they need to be sharded. For these use cases, I think 20TB is about normal.

Thanks for this great comment! The motivation behind METAFONT is amusing to me because it seems to have some of the same hubris of the most extreme AI proponents nowadays: we can replace art by technology. I'm fascinated with TeX (and

Your annoyance is understandable, but it's worth remembering: he is not your slave. He does not exist to do things for you. His providing you with something good for a time does not obligate him to provide it to you forever. Because he
