I guess we are going to learn how important secure communication is based on the stories (or lack of stories) about how it is being exploited in the wild.
I think the point made here is that the application runs as if it were a modern application, even though the OS is completely unrecognizable when compared to the OS it was written for. There are other ways to run old…
There is this narrative I heard from a Brazilian near me that the Supreme Court in Brazil is political and rotten to the core.
That's not news though. In fact almost no company beyond maybe 10 people that has a large central repository has no other smaller repos with other smaller production projects. They still always call it monorepo, because…
Now if he could just focus on such stuff and stop undermining democracy and working with fascists, he would be quite a cool guy.
Could the dentist just stop working and continue to make that part of their income?
Why would you want to override system binaries
Looks dangerous to put a user writable directory ahead of system directories in PATH
I must say, I had this thought. While everyone thought AI written code will inevitably lead to slop, bugs and security issues, I had the feeling the exact opposite happens. I can task an AI agent with striving for the…
Right. The EU still seems successful in shaping (foreign) tech to some extent. Handing out huge fines is maybe less important than effecting change. Though it would of course be good if other national/transnational…
There is a lot of innovation happening in Europe, it is just that Europe is better in small and medium businesses than startups that become unicorns and tech giants. Interestingly that has always been the case, so it…
It takes EU regulators like half a decade or so to make up their minds on each issue.
Not sure if I buy special LEDs, but I have outfit my house with LEDs basically everywhere between 10 and 13 years ago. In that time I had maybe one or two of them die. Traditional light bulbs have taught us that lights…
I don't know. It would surprise me. For long agentic work you shouldn't need that many streams for the KV cache to become larger than the (active) parameters. At 128 streams the model weights would be neglectable. I am…
But there is also a chance that you get insanely rich and the world isn't destoyed! It's the entire logic of SV and VC.
I have a computer with a 5090 on a smart plug at home running Qwen3.8 27B for agentic coding. On a busy day it can use around 5kWh, though on most days it is around 2kWh. I am sure cloud is more efficient because there…
If you look at the patch, it is just disabling a (presumably new and buggy) feature.
I think you missed the little word "relevant" on top. I am of course aware that there are exceptions. And yes, if you write C++ for embedded or other minor or outdated platforms you will know and understand that these…
The problem begins when you start mixing the traditional types and (u)intN_t, because the latter are merely aliases for the internal types, and it messes up overload resolution. All relevant platforms have pretty much…
10% smaller is 3*0.1=0.3 smaller than 3, which is 3-0.3=2.7 So 200% smaller is 3*2=6 smaller than 3, which is 3-6=-3 Which is why these kinds of statements usually don't make any sense at all. Usually something can't be…
Also, X is 9 times larger than Y and X is 9 times as large as Y are two different statements.
They also said that theur hardware scales faster than Moore's law, when in reality it is way slower than Moore's law. Which I guess at least is a good thing for hyperscalars because it helps with their decision to write…
An autonomous car in front of me can still act in a way that I or my car can't predict, as long as we haven't eliminated humans and animals completely from being anywhere near roads.
Seems I got terms confused. Thanks for clearing that up.
A line of constant bearing will always be a great circle. A straight line on a mercator projection of the earth does not constitute a great circle (in fact only the equator line is a great circle and each vertical line…
