I tend to agree but you can't deny that the widespread use of LLMs means that codeberg will expend more resources overall for projects taking advantage of them. And its members hav…

That "beige box" term is not the beige box I was thinking of at first. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beige_box_(phreaking)

> how this bug got through. Simplest answer is that there's no representative test case in the test suite yet. Unfortunately the problem of compiler testing is a very challenging o…

You know that feeling when you work on a feature for weeks or months and then something comes along and the feature is no longer needed or the project is cancelled? It's a pretty f…

Physics, or ... capital. Look at the cryptocurrency and Bitcoin economies for an example. Instead of being a democratic mining economy where spare cycles are used, only companies w…

Some of us in Texas are all too familiar with the problem of balancing load with generation, the risk of a cascade failure causing a slow restart. During winter storm Uri, they did…

This is a false equivalence. "What constitutes appropriate humor" versus "Government silences dissent." Just because the Diabetes conference cited their code of conduct doesn't mea…

It's not like the article is indirectly related to the subject of the conference. It is critical of the government, but not in the "human rights abuses of this administration threa…

One of science's most critical roles is to inform policymakers. And if they can't do that job effectively then it's right and just to point out the problems preventing it. Scientif…

The crazy thing is that the oil companies confessed to a misinformation campaign and at least publicly talked about change/reform (of course, they're still oil exploration/refineme…

Of course he should be punished but the best lesson here is for bettors. Those who wager on "prediction markets": you are betting against people who have access to more information…

Maybe we should criminalize writing articles about Undefined Behavior that have a "So what do we do now?" subheader but omit any mention of UBSan.

This is a legitimate, understandable way to discuss a mixture of abstract and specific things. This is a novel we are referring to, here. The intended audience is very, very broad.…

Please, please tread on me.

It would be interesting if there were a state sponsored effort to discredit a project that helps some people keep their communications private.

In your country merchants are not obligated to honor fraudulently altered price displays.

The cult of personality is impenetrable. He won't be held to account, ever. Nor his sycophants in the administration.

The fact that it's written in python is often brought up in order to explain its name. But really, it's much less interesting than the fact that it has a tracing JIT. If it were ca…

It makes a lot of sense to me that PV and wind power could have subtle undesirable effects that we don't know about until it scales up. Taking gigawatts of energy out of the planet…

Dang, can you substantiate that this is actually Mr. Farrow like he claims? Or Mr Farrow can you post some evidence somewhere we can see?

Some of that could be related to the ISA but I'm hoping that it's just the fact that the current implementations aren't mature enough. The vast majority of the ecosystem seems to b…

I guess if you can solve phase alignment then another big problem is grid capability? If everyone plugged one in, could the transmission network reliably deliver the power generate…
