Except we did had a bunch of close calls [1]. Also, we've been warned about climate change for at least 30 years and were unable to avoid it. So OP's remark is entirely deserved. Until proven otherwise, we are not part…
It did. While you're busy recording an "instagramable" moment, you are not entirely enjoying that moment. Your eyes are on the screen, not on the subject. In a way, if photography is an ersatz for painting that…
Also as a child, I was amazed by the associative tables it offered; I thought "I can make intelligent programs". I think I was thinking AI but I won't trust my memory on this. But I played a lot more with the turtle.
I am not, indeed. However as programmer I was sometimes told to do what the customer wants, even though it is complex or inapt. If this DNS blocking is inapt or misused, it's a political problem so let the citizens deal…
An alternative one could consider is that the ISP could DNS-block sites for "kid SIMs"). On the OS part, this would require protection against picking alternative DNS, but that's already standard. Other…
But is it really what we want, machines with the same defects as humans? I don't want a pocket calculator that make mistakes "sometimes" so I have to double-check the results, I want a pocket calculator that works (to…
HNDL can be worth it without the "threat" of quantum computing; for instance we see currently a lot of interest in AI-assisted math, and maybe it could lead to a breakthrough that affect crypto algorithms that are…
The reward function seems indeed to be the protagonist there, still it stays in the shadows. One can only imagine that it is some kind of evaluator that scores the sequence based on grammar correctness, semantic…
Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but we might find ourselves in such a situation that the only practical solution would be to use agents to counter rogue agents. This won't be without collateral damage, though.
Guess what people talk (and write) about after meetings.
They would tell us we are contradicting ourselves because none of them are straight lines in the traditional sense, if we really believe the Earth is a sphere. Don't underestimate trolls ;-)
I think you are hallucinating that quote.
Correction: half of the pictures are not from mods, but from Luanti games; Luanti is a platform for voxel games. And there's no screenshot of the two Luanti games that come the closest to Minecraft, both in terms of…
It's very unlikely. The DMCA notification is from Microsoft, who owns Minecraft. The sequence of events is: 1) US votes a law that is hilariously favourable to copyright holders 2) Copyright holders abuse it for a while…
Fair enough. It's fine as long as people don't forget that fixing individual problems won't fix systematic problems; it would be like curing the symptoms, not the root cause.
Yes. People here imagining workarounds based on automatic wipe, encryption, etc. should rather acknowledge that their country is slowly drifting to a fascist state. Your tech tricks are childish. Act like adults. Take…
It is. When you read "6. A Tale Of Two Stacks" you can be pretty sure that Forth is involved.
Sorry but, ain't we tired of beating that dead horse again and again? We got it, C is a portable assembler and as such, is barely more "secure" than assembler. And yes, 50 years after C you finally have something as…
No exactly. "Lambdas" are usually function closures [1]. Which do not exist in C and were quite "late" in C++, because decent support of closures require automatic memory management (GC). C++ lambda/closures are a bit…
I've always wondered if the melting of glaciers would move masses from one place to another and induce some tectonic moves. But the mass is most likely not significant enough; water/ice has a relatively low density…
Possible false positive because of the text was translated from Japanese to English with AI? I don't see the point of starting a newsletter written by AI.. But I don't understand the point of cheating with a computer on…

I guess it's not the kind of instrument that one can turn on and off? TFA says "keep the [probe] warm"; I'm not sure if it's poetry or a necessity; on Earth electronic components guaranteed to operate for maybe -100 °C…
You don't need swap, you need "apps" that take back the "memory is cheap anyway" crappy culture.
The whole paragraph describes quite well what I feel at the company I currently work for. I think it is more accurate to say that it is interference (rather than micromanagement) and goalpost shifting because whoever…
