It's a lot better at my standard benchmark "Magic: The Gathering" rules puzzles. Gets the answers right (both the outcome and rationale).

We tell them: HELL NO. You’re about to become a magnesium-based lifeform. The age of the primitive carbon-man is done.

You are probably saying this as a troll, but I’ll bite. I mean, sure Rust would have helped. Technically, the borrow checker and bounds checks wouldn’t have done it here (I’m aware I’m being obtuse by not just linking the bug). Having clean

This isn't wrong per se, but rather, it lacks concrete recommendations for what should be done differently. I would love to see Linux thoroughly and meaningfully tested. For some parts it's just... hard. (If anyone wants to get th

Being an upstream maintainer is incredibly under-appreciated. It’s an unfathomably hard, and somewhat thankless, job (at least if you do it well). A friend of mine was in a cab with Ted Ts’o at a conference and he was reviewing patches on h

People only pull out slower tools for valuable, forgery worthy cards. If someone is buying 1000 $1000 dollar cards, it’s still worth it lol. Even cheap forgeries cost money to produce, so I wouldn’t expect a lot of low value cards to be for

If you are willing to pull out a loupe you don’t really need ML. You can just look at the rosette patterns. For Mtg cards, the green dot test is very easy to learn, and I’m not familiar with any fakes that pass it. (Edit: arguably you have

When it comes to playing the game between friends outside official tournaments, you are basically correct (though some use cost as a power level limiter). When it comes to trading, you don’t want to accidentally pay a premium for something

Seems clickbaity: the selected dates are pretty weird. If you just maintain 1x long, you end up down ~5% overall. Obviously, there's hefty volatility in the days they selected, but I'm surprised that the vol averages out down give

I’m not sure anyone involved in this space seriously believed in the physical attack resistance TDX/SNP. At least not yet. The attack surface is just so vast. This reads like yet another overhyped named vulnerability. These tools are a

For CPU bound work loads, pretty low, but not low enough that it's free (~5%). For devices (especially latency sensitive workloads), it's quite bad. Device accesses have to be bounce-buffered. You can't do anything vaguely ze

The polymer chains are quite long after manufacturing for teflon pans. They are largely “safe”. Don’t use metal utensils with them and don’t overheat them. That said, I personally minimize my use of teflon pans (mostly just use them for egg

I’ve heard the lifespan thing before and never understood it. It’s still 86 degrees wide.

You could also sharpen just one edge of each ski (opposite edges across the pair), then put the skis on random feet. Then see if they can tell which edges are sharp! Most of a typical skier’s weight is supported by the inside edge of the do

Tuners look at me so strangely when I ask for 0°/4° lol. I can’t imagine dealing with coaches.

by strstr 2y ago
Thanks for the correction. I had just never heard of 5° degrees as a base bevel. Not sure why you seem defensive. Isn’t 0.5° (or lower) the factory tune for slalom skis? Might only be a thing for U16+.

Unless you do your own tuning (or are willing to light money on fire) it’s hard to A/B test ski waxing/edge tuning. I kinda suspect this alleged olympic tuner didn’t cross compare, or just doesn’t ski in ways where you’d notice (h

Do you mean .5 or 5 for the base bevel? 5 is quite far off the snow.

There are a few categories of usage for enclaves (well, more broadly, Trusted Execution Environments): 1) Clouds (you mostly trust the provider, but maybe not fully. And you want to make sure they don’t have anything up their sleeves. Consi

The framing is a lot narrower, and pretty clear if you’ve ever played overwatch. In that context a lot of people claim they want to get better, but don’t even grab for the lowest hanging fruit.

Sounds like a genuinely frustrating experience. Bit confused about why nested virt has anything to do with their problems given that they aren’t using virt inside the VMs. Softlocks are a generic indication of a lack of forward progress. Sa

That’s a defeatist attitude. Why ever try to make progress on security if this is how you feel? It’s like saying Microsoft never should have tried to make Windows more secure than it was in the XP days.
