I'm sorry, MASM? All the cool kids use NASM or YASM.

This is technical writing for kernel developers who already know how memory management works. If you want to understand it better, you should study up on the x86 MMU and the kernel…

Jeff Bezos is probably calling everyone he knows in Washington right now. The big question is, does he say "End this war immediately to stop them from bombing my datacenters" or "E…

It's obvious to me that writing "Give me a confidence score from 1-5" in your prompt will have disappointing results if you use that score directly. If you want self-reported confi…

Was this a jury trial?

Perfect attendance is not a good goal to aspire to. Kids force themselves (or get forced by parents) to go to school while sick, which is probably bad for their health and also ris…

This is a great link. The most interesting feature of the solar graph is the amplitude of the seasonal variations. It looks like we typically generating ~100% more solar power in J…

> they shouldn't be allowed to? Anthropic addresses this head-on in the final section of the paper titled "What should we do?" If you convince the US government to slow AI developm…

Central control of heat pumps sounds like a dystopian nightmare. I don't want to give somebody outside my house the ability to shut off my heating or cooling. The real problem is t…

Let's be honest. If someone did send in the troops to restore order, people would be screaming "How dare you invade a sovereign country" or "You're only doing this because you want…

Miller-Rabin primality test immediately came to mind. But apparently he improved Berlekamp's algorithm, and is responsible for the pumping lemma [1] as well. I agree with other pos…

"It’s not a safety movement. It’s a priesthood with an origin story written in fanfiction." Is that the opinion of the author, or an LLM? I feel like this is one topic where using …

From a layman's point of view antimatter seems like an ideal spacecraft fuel. It's as energy dense as E = mc^2 allows, and if you have infrastructure to make it, the only input you…

We used to believe in freedom of speech and freedom of association. Since the dawn of the Internet era, we've had a legal principle that platforms are relatively shielded from liab…

I'm pretty sure you can get rid of the 0xFFFFFFFF / p and get some more speedup by manually implementing the bitarray ops. You can get another boost by using BSF instruction [1] to…

Just in case your answers to the parent post's three questions were "Yes, yes and yes" here are some additional questions: - Have you ever uploaded a container to Dockerhub or Quay…

A lot of people people contributing to FOSS are volunteers. The calculus of working on stuff for free involves an assumption that your worst-case outcome is you make $0. This act's…

Here's my suggestion for an implementation strategy: - Keep the "Next" button greyed out until you add three forms of identification. - Ask the user to take photos of their 3 forms…

It seems like sound testing methodology to identify important theorems related to the code, prove them, and then verify the proof. Verification gets sold as "bulletproof" but I'm s…

This video has an interesting visualization of macroeconomic factors affecting US trade and foreign policy.

An AI agent is doing some actions. Those actions must comply with "controls" like 'ALLOW transfer ON treasury WHERE amount What's the application here? If you want to enforce that …

I don't understand how house prices are set. When I see a house that's $X I often think "$X seems reasonable" immediately followed by "$X/2 seems reasonable" and "$2X seems reasona…
