Well, it depends. Sometimes in math you do a lot of chipping away at a problem, and eventually a bigger result falls after all the right foundations are built. That seems to describe bottom-up building. On the other hand when a new high-lev

For complex recipe graphs beyond vanilla train routing is also way more efficient. You get to reuse the same rail network, and sometimes not have to route dedicated belts for 6 low throuput ingredients from all over the map I feel like a lo

Spruce up is unreasonably charitable. I'm more irritated that the authorship information is misleading. craig-kerstiens is not available on Huggingface, and yet not a single sentence in this article seems to have been typed on a keyboa

Same way any other website with user-generated content deals with it. The website has broad immunity as a platform, but is expected to take down content that would be illegal when notified. Random people on the Internet have been at it long

Sounds like a Streissand effect waiting to happen. Besides, IANAL, but I'm sure plenty of people here could find a lawyer to file for an easy anti-SLAPP defense. Factual statements about bad employers are very much free speech. Judges

Mathematicians in academia are paid a little less than AI researchers. Companies are willing to pay billions to steal the few people capable of driving development of frontier LLMs from each other. Cryptographers don't quite enjoy the

What a lot of games do is run a strictly deterministic simulation in lockstep. Then you don't save the path of every unit, you save one move command for the whole group. Then the game replays inputs, and the pathing algorithm should gi

I haven't dug into the native helper to see how much it checks, I can believe that ChromeOS does full remote attestation. If it's anything like Android Play Integrity, there's not a lot of flexibility without hardware exploit

CAA is completely based on trust, it's not one of the most powerful security feature. It's completely voluntary reporting by the browser, and any attacker who cares can just lie without issues. You can make Firefox pass CAA if you

Modern VPNs based on wireguard can do direct connections with hole punching. It's just a lot more work to setup on your own, or you have to sign-up to a SaaS like tailscale and use their relays, and they'll do the hole punching fo

Logical replication is how this is typically done. If you have some infra-as-code setup, you create a new cluster with identical settings except for the major version, import the schema, start copying data from a read-replica running the ol

I wouldn't internalize that idea too much. In a lot of countries traffic fines are a fixed amount, so some people feel like they don't have to respect traffic rules since they can afford to just pay the fine. It's one way to

This was left implicit in the article, but what they mean by copying the process state here is the memory management structures. That's mainly the page tables and the VMAs. That means you have to allocate new pages to hold a copy of al

I think we're past beginning to warn, we've now reached the point of accepting Linux needs to remove drivers and features, because the maintainers just can't keep up. This is not helped by everyone using the same LLMs to find

The core set of extensions has pretty friendly single letters, but the flip side is you run out of letters pretty quickly. The non-single-letter extensions should make you feel more at home. Like the supervisor instructions. You have Smcntr

The problem is that Linux has memory overcommit and it will OOM when a process faults a page in, not just when someone allocates memory. So the OOM condition can hit any random process, not necessarily one that just tried to allocate. If yo

How confident are you that the verification tool detects all of the watermark, and not just one layer? I would layer two watermarks and let the public remove the most visible one.

At this point on Win32 Qt might as well be the native UI. They did a better job of maintaining a coherent visual theme that says "Windows" and fits the design patterns than the actual owners of the platform.
