Ah yes, the thing wrong with AI is how it won't help you kill your wife. I didn't check the author first so I was about to go "why the hell is this on the front page?" but oh well. geohot being geohot.
Already a thing between UTC and TAI.
The concept of waste-heat-to-power (WHP) exists, but its efficiency is limited by thermodynamics. Basically, heat energy is not equal to usable energy. All energy ultimately wants to be heat energy, and it is much…
And to Moby music! What's not to love?
No, a classic GR black hole does not have its own magnetic field. It can have electric charge, along with mass and spin, but that's it. There is a somewhat fringe alternative idea called a MECO, which can have a…
Yes, exactly. Black hole mergers are the one thing exempt from the Eddington Limit, because there is no friction there.
We are no longer in the era of FOSS where contributions are purely motivated by either scratching your own itch, altruism or curiosity. Haven't been for over a decade, since that's how long companies have been checking…
FWIW, debian did the gentoo approach for years. I used to run debian with OpenRC during a time when systemd was already the default. It and other init systems remained fully supported by the distro for quite a while.…
The line would look the exact same if you switched it to price per PB. Only the labels on the y-axis would change.
Besides Romanians, there are several more eastern european romance-language-speaking peoples ("Vlachs") like Aromanians, Megleno-Romanians and Istro-Romanians. I think they might also deserve a mention.
We are saying the same things, just expressing them in different terms. Yes, only idempotent methods and "safe" POST requests don't need preflight. And I'm saying you need to make sure in your server implementation that…
Even TFA seemingly doesn't understand CORS. Or at least misreprents it grossly: > The webserver listening in on localhost:19421 should implement a REST API and set a Access-Control-Allow-Origin header with the value…
Well, is this mad dash for AI producing "outcomes that are beneficial for society at large" yet? So far it looks like its mostly producing a ton of negative externalities and wealth transfer to corrupt elites. Also, no,…
If Google ever decides to "close the door" on these too, all they need to do is make Chrome always use DoH instead of classic DNS.
- electricity (from solar, hydro, nuclear, whatever). maintained by robots. - it is repaired by robots using resources mined or reclaimed by robots. - you guessed it, robots. - robots with weapons. If we actually want…
We would not be able to agree on that. Already today, some of the people who would actually be able to unplug some of them (Anthropic) are worrying about "model welfare". I think you are not putting together how much of…
Sockets are officially specified in wasip1: https://wasi.dev/releases/wasi-p1 Notably, listen and connect are missing. But sockets themselves were in there.
Most of the points listed are hardly considered lispy anymore these days, Python also has most of these. Where Ruby's lisp lineage really shows is the fact that it's got Kernel#callcc, aka call with current…
It's a bit of in-group signaling but I think, importantly, also date signaling. A 2026 hype website looks different from a 2020 hype website looks different from a 2010 hype website. Having a generic 2026 hype website…
No. We have an infinitely more succinct formalism, it's Turing machines. Succinctness is not necessarily a desirable property, it just says where on the capability-tractability tradeoff something is. Turing machines can…
That's true, but critical processes could mlockall() after setup, so their stuff never needs paging in.
All words are labels. You cannot make an argument without using them. "cheap rhetorical trick" or "resorting to labels" are just labels as well.
I specifically said data race, which is a known term of art and a type of language-level UB. It is separate from the races you're thinking about. Just like signed integer overflow or use-after-free, the compiler is…
With this technology's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.
There is no uninitialized variable, I explicitly initialized it to 5. And yes indeed, C could do what Rust does and define the order of evaluation for function arguments. If the argument expressions are indeed…
