Can you feel the irony when typing this? "Simple readable C code" itself not being able to be parsed by "simple readable C code".

Athena/PTSD-girl being the only Trojan with a face doesn't dismiss that affirmation, only reinforces it. And she writes about her in another paragraph.

It's not controversial. It's only controversial in the culture wars part of the world. There has been some critics* of her translation among classicists, but not _controversies_. *…

How do you get 'roughly be summarized as "I could have done better"' from this critique? Nowhere does she say something vaguely like that.

Having designed a good number of internal tools for teams of developers I couldn't agree more. Earlier I had the tendency to "leave the guts" open, thinking my users were developer…

I love how new people keep discovering Ian's website (cf the xkcd 1053). It's a really well made website, the pictures and animations are very well chosen to explain knots and laci…

I notice how the title by Ars Technica is much less baity than Nature: "Why have papers by one of history’s most famous physicists been retracted?" vs "Why did this journal retract…

Cheekily, might not the "purist" want a "pot-au-feu" ? (i have a sincere dislike of purity talk, especially in cookery) The article mentions it, but doesn't disprove it.

> Of course, there is indeed no shame. There is also no pride. But there's is "pride" in making tools people actually use without issue

Couldn't you have used a subdomain "ai.mozilla.org" rather than a new tld? I'm guessing some marketing executives got involved?

I saw that, but anyone can link to anything. Luckily on mozilla.org there's a link to mozilla.ai, so that legitimizes it a bit. But that is not obvious.

Sorry, dumb question: is "mozilla.ai" related to "mozilla.org" and to the larger Mozilla organization? Because changing the tld makes this actually non-obvious. I see "mozilla.ai" …

Except a lot of actual, very smart, economists are for UBI or similar arrangements (it's not a settled matter). And geohot might be smart, but he's just a self described hacker. If…

In C this kind of issue is so common it wouldn't raise to the status of "CVE". People would just shrug and say "git gud".

When the "classics" were decided to be "the classics" (by who? why? on what authority?) a lot of them were newer than Mickey Mouse is today.

The quotes aren't in the original title: > Two US marines implicated in killing family in notorious Iraq war shooting, expert tells BBC

I used to.

Thanks for the first link it's really fun game :) I've been playing lots on OGS (with my friend in particular), under my pseudonym erelde

I've been quite taken with Go these last few months and I wish the western world had more skilled players. The Asian servers do not do much (if any) i18n, they don't need to, they …

I've been writing code (and prose) with 3 vertical rulers for almost 10 years now: 66, 80 and 120 characters each. None of them are hard limits for me. But they do help guide my ey…

Yep, I looked it up a few hours after, different branches in the evolution of ML. Still weird to dismiss AlphaZero as just "playing games".

> This meant that while Google was playing games, OpenAI was able to seize the opportunity of a lifetime. What you train on matters. Very weird reasoning. Without AlphaGo, AlphaZer…

Wild to learn this is the same company selling MSG (mono sodium glutamate) and build up film - https://www.ajinomoto.com/innovation/our_innovation/buildupf... - https://www.ajinomo…

I meant "empty" of actual information. I'll guess there'll be more on the date. But for now that's just weird and suspect, trying to raise hype for a security related announcement …
