I find the panic over potential threat of quantum quite amusing when the machine is still extremely theoretical - all existing machines are slower than classical and it’s not even …

Should be able to do it by having the scanner take multiple samples. As long as you don’t need a valid login and the performance issue is still observable, you should be about to s…

You don’t need vouching for anyone. mDL is going to be a mechanism to have a government authority vouch your identity. Of course a state actor like this can forge the identity, but…

It’s worse than that. Build.rs is in no way sandboxed which means you can inject all sorts of badness into downstream dependencies not to mention do things like steal crypto keys f…

That’s not an effective idea for the same reason that lines of code is not a good measure of productivity. It’s an easy measure to automate but it’s purely performative as it doesn…

Don’t know all the details and rust isn’t immune to a build attack, but stuff like that tends to stand out a lot more I think in a build.rs than it would in some m4 automake soup.

Could javac do the analysis and record it in the bytecode for HotSpot to optimize? Or is this kind of hybrid teamwork not done?

Security and utility are in opposing balances often. The safest possible computer is one buried far underground without any cables in a faraday cage. Not very useful. > We’re not i…

My hunch is that if you added the buffered reader and kept the original xxd in the pipe you’d see similar timings. The amount of input data is just laughably small here to result i…

I’m not following how that would result in a 10x discrepancy. The amount of data we’re talking about here is laughably small (it’s like 32 bytes or something)

I would recommend the python sh module instead of writing bash for more complex code. Python’s devenv and tooling is way more mature and safer.

That doesn’t make sense unless you have only 1 or 2 physical CPUs with contention. In a modern CPU the latter should be faster and I’m left unsatisfied by the correctness of the ex…

I know you’re joking, but it wouldn’t really be that hard in terms of a lookup for played positions which is what OP asked for - you could have Bitboards for the relevant info so f…

What does performance look like?

No that’s not the divide. Bayesian requires you to have an estimate of the prior and a reasonable way to update that estimate by validating against ground truth. Here there’s no gr…

No, Tetlock et all have found very large crowds to outperform smaller groups of experts. This however is an article about small groups of non experts competing against each other. …

Or you’ve just learned how to optimize your score on the game you’re playing but the game isn’t actually about predicting the future.

This makes no sense. If I have 1000 predictions and vary my estimates from 0-10%, that’s only 100 samples assuming you round to the nearest whole percent. And there’s no correlatio…

But if you can pick what you’re predicting on and pick the percentage you assign to an event, I fail to see how that gives you a calibration.

I disagree with that characterization because the contrast by OP was that S3 is “just a KV store implying” it doesn’t meet the criteria for being considered a filesystem. For examp…

Would it be impossible to marry the two somehow? It’s hard for me to believe that the brain only uses a single technique for everything and likely has many different tools in its t…

This is a technical website discussing the nuances of filesystems. Common vernacular is how you choose to define it but even the Wikipedia definition says that directories and hier…

Depends how you’re iterating. If your iterating by hierarchy level, then you could easily see this being several orders of magnitude more requests.

Directories make up a hierarchical filesystem, but it’s not a necessary condition. A filesystem at its core is just a way of organizing files. If you’re storing and organizing file…

I think it’s far more mundane a reason. You can list 10k objects per request and getting the next 10k requires the result of the previous request, so it’s all serial. That means to…
