Excuse me, the article states that this bill was signed on april 17th of last year. How has this become suddenly relevant now? I would say considering there has been almost a year since this bill was signed, what happened since then? Was it

Ah, finally something that the common man wants. A mandatory risk management strategy compliant with ISO/IEC guidelines

We've had this exact same issue (clean db for every test) - the way we solved it was with ZFS snapshots - just snapshot a directory of our data (databases, static assets, etc) - and the OS will automatically create a copy-on-write repl

Hold on, I was sharing an anecdote from a friend living in a foreign country, and somehow you're somehow connecting this to a dastardly geopolitical plot by a league of evil nations? Also may I ask who the heck you are to call my story

I have a secret fear about AI - that at one point when AI models get good enough, AI companies will no longer give you the source these tools generate - you'll get the artifacts (perhaps hosted on a subscription website), but you won&#

Maybe that's one of Safari's numerous 'quirks' our frontend devs keep bitching about. Which in this case Im thankful that Apple isn't too keen on following standards like these.

I have a friend who has moved to Sweden a while ago, and she told me a lot about the Swedish housing situation, and admittedly most if it went over my head, but in short, apparently very few places would even allow you to build even somewha

Huh, I never knew my browser just volunteers my exact hardware specs to any website without so much as even notifying me about it.

I think this is entirely fair - this laptop imo could satisfy 90+% of Apple's userbase (including me, I used to do dev work on my M1 Air I bought out of curiosity) - it's a fully featured computer, that's incredibly well made

Yeah, strange, there has been a build of CEF for Linux ARM64 since forever.

Looking at these pics and considering Trump's general combative stance on global trade, I wonder if the attack on Iran and the subsequent chaos they've caused intentionally - I wonder if this is intentional, to incentivize countri

This comes with the uncomfortable implication that its impossible to tell actually to what extent are LLMs pulling together snippets of GPLd code, and to what extent is that legally acceptable.

Is this like Darktrace? Apparently the cybersec bigwigs at our company love it, but for me I have to write a detailed explaination why another 'incident report' the clueless cybersecurity guys keep bothering me with is actually no

AI will be the straw that breaks the camel's back on copyright Imo. We've known since 90s Napster music piracy that copyright is broken in the information age, and its just a flimsy set of unprincipled edicts meant to protect thos

I think you can do this fairly efficiently with SSE for x86 - SSE/AVX has shift and shuffle. Encoding/Decoding packed data might even be faster this way. I'm not familiar with RISC-V but from what I've seen here, they&#x

Lol, Facebook is full of AI bots pretending to be humans, while Moltbook is full of humans pretending to be AI.

Unaligned load/store is a horrible feature to implement. Page size can be easily extended down the line without breaking changes.

It was the case even 15 years ago when Cortex M0/M3 really started to get traction, that the processor area of ARM cores was small enough to not make a difference in practice.

Yes, unaligned loads/stores are a niche feature that has huge implications in processor design - loads across cache-lines with different residency, pages that fault etc. This is the classic conundrum of legacy system redesign - if cust

I suspect the value you bring to the table is that you are good enough a programmer to translate the problems of the people you work with into working code. LLMs can do it somewhat, but it can probably leetcode better than even most of the

It can certainly be true for several reasons. Even in domains I'm familiar with, often making a change is costly in terms of coding effort. For example just recently I updated a component in one of our modules. The work was fairly rote

I'm not familiar with accounting, but I suspect a lot of these cloud infrastructure companies don't throw out hardware for a very long time, just like how AWS sells you their old stuff as whitelabel compute at a markup, behind w

Dunno, I was using Cursor today and for some reason it decided to swith to GPT 5.3 at some point and I didn't even notice. I was sure that Opus is much better, but who knows?

My understanding is that for MoE with top K architecture, model size doesn't really matter, as you can have 10 32GB experts or a thousand, if only 2-3 of them are active at the same time, your inference workload will be identical, only

Most folks get paid a lot more in a corporate job than tinkering at home - using the 'follow the money' logic it would make sense they would produce their most inspired works as 9-5 full stack engineers. But often passion and free

Forgive me for being ignorant - but 'loss' in supervised learning ML context encode the difference between how unlikely (high loss) or likely (low loss) was the network in predicting the output based on the input. This sounds very

I really don't want to overrule your expertise in this regard, but an 5x efficiency gain in a single generation feels like its too much, especially considering how newer process nodes have been yielding less and less improvements. Just

Usually with these programs, they just commission an artist with some vague description, like they tell him to draw a futuristic VTOL aircraft, these pics have zero bearing on what gets delivered. Sometimes they even take the piss with this
