Yes, this was a bit of a surprise to read when dealing with crypto: "This one lives in CIRCL's threshold RSA implementation... float64 has a 53-bit mantissa... the result is silent…

are you allowed to video them to see whether they can actually do a good job?

-Phone notification- Your chinchilla rug had finished the wash cycle I don't have a rug... oh wait...

I feel like this is the sort of thing William Gibson should write...

That would a Microsoft'ese, "Some regions are encountering issues" => "The entire world is down, but our status page is working"

I've read blindsight and echopraxia, but not starfish, so thanks for the reminder. If starfish is even despairing than blindsight and echopraxia, then this should be "fun"!

part of this I understand is survival. And I understand why you do this. The other part of this is why it's so frustrating for me to find the right person. Everybody's resume looks…

that's a very dangerous analogy, because you would be considered the domain expert and you are just asking for synonyms for something you already know but may not remember off-hand…

if you are hitting pauses due to GC issues, you should into putting appropriate data structures into a memory arena, here's a reasonable read: https://uptrace.dev/blog/golang-memor…

something about the current trend of AI vulnerabilities reminds me of the old Asimov Robot series and the three laws of robotics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Roboti…

In healthcare, HIPAA/GDPR equivalent would block this. Let's be realistic in our discussion; this is not the same as google buying up a library worth of books, scanning and destroy…

the consensus seems to be that the foam itself is the spring (hence the successful adidas evo sl and dynafish xiaonian), and the carbon plate/rod/whatever is more to control/manage…

I can see the dichotomy forming in the "post AI" world; 1) massive companies spending millions of tokens to write+secure their software 2) in the shadows, "elite" software contract…

can't several small hometown grocers get together to be able to make that volume/quantity? Surely that would be better than just buying from costco?

interesting the ones they chose to name; I would have probably started with 6502/68000/68020/z80 assembly, fortran, cobol, basic, c, ada, simula 67, sh, zsh, bash, napier 88, tcl, …

somehow mixed grip makes me twist slightly which caused me back problems; after a few tweaks to the lower back, I decided that mixed wasn't worth it (I don't compete anymore). Yes,…

my clothes haven't changed in size, but I fill them out better, is probably best to describe it!

ditto. I don't have great numbers, my bench is terrible, not even 1.5x BW, but I did manage to get my DL to ~2.5x in a competition, then tweaked my back and now only double overhan…

It's interesting you mention this (anhedonia), since the guardian just published this article: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/apr/06/is-retatruti... How did you actually …

wasn't one of the controversies, that the simulation didn't account for the fact that Red's boats couldn't actually/launch carry the cruise missiles that were used to sink these sh…

Absolutely. Let's say I have a problem with gRPC and traced it to code generated using the gRPC compiler. I can reproduce it, highlight it and I'm pretty sure the gRPC team would a…

I've done a lot of long hikes (200+km in the sahara, 6000+m mountains in kazakstan), and 2kg extra means a lot, like the difference between carrying extra fuel/food versus just clo…

keen eye. 4 days old account, verbose comments. Sigh. As far as I know, the problem is still how to segment data flow from control plane for LLMs. Isn't that why we still can promp…

I have previous CTO experience in the POS space, you would be right on both counts. (till this day, I can walk into a shop, look at the POS screen and identify if its one of those …

TIL - next time I go to the dolomites, I might seriously try this; ice cream after 6-8 hours of hiking and via ferrata sounds wonderful.
