It may come as a surprise, but this phenomenon of "uninterpretable" circuits designed by algorithms is 30 years old now. Adrian Thompson's research in the 90s evolved FPGAs that did signal analysis with bizarre features: - A

Oh that's a surprising interaction. I use dark mode themes, is there something I haven't noticed?

The conventional wisdom in cryptography is that if you don't know you need FIPS, if you don't have paper and a dollar figure telling you how much you need it, you don't need or want FIPS.

Could you explain what a git trailer is if not appended to the message body? My understanding is that trailers are just key-value pairs in a particular format at the end of the message; there's not an alternative storage mechanism. Eve

OCI artifacts, using the same protocol as container registries. It's a protocol designed for versioning (tagging) content addressable blobs, associating metadata with them, and it's CDN friendly. Homebrew uses OCI as its backend n

A lot of folks think this, but did you also implement EDNS0? The golang team also thought DNS clients were simple, and it led to almost ten years of difficult to debug panics in Docker, Mesos, Terraform, Mesos, Consul, Heroku, Weave and cou

This also happens on switching virtual desktops, even with reduce animations there is a 100ms+ delay before any input on the new desktop will be sent to the correct app.

If you're generating long reports, code, etc. with an LLM, partial strings matter quite a lot for user experience.

Oh, this is quite similar to an online parser I'd written a few years ago[1]. I have some worked examples on how to use it with the now-standard Chat Completions API for LLMs to stream and filter structured outputs (aka JSON). This is

Not using the NVDEC and NVJPG units to decompress weights into registers? And you say you're using the whole GPU. There are entire blocks on the silicon going idle!

Always exciting to see Robert Escriva's next database project. Building on top of the incredible engineering of S3 is clever, I'm definitely going to be looking at and learning from the implementation in wal3. Looking forward to t

I think any discussion of btrfs needs to acknowledge that raid5/6 support was promised in the early years, shipped in the kernel in 2013 and, until 2021's btrfs-progs 5.11 release, did not warn users that they risked data loss whe

There's no need to call someone pointing out instability of a filesystem dishonest. That's bad faith. I don't get why folks feel the need to come out and cheer for a tool like this, do you have skin in the game on whether or

btrfs has eaten my data, which was probably my bad for trying out a newly stable filesystem around 15 years ago. there are plenty of bug reports of btrfs eating other people's data in the years since. It's probably mostly stable n

Parity support in multi-disk arrays is older than I am, it's a fairly standard feature. btrfs doesn't support this without data loss risks after 17 years of development.

by AaronFriel 1y ago
Respectfully to the maintainers: How can this be a stable filesystem if parity is unstable and risks data loss? How has this been allowed to happen? It just seems so profoundly unserious to me.

I don't think those real identities should be public or deanonymizable from outside a given platform.

I had a hunch you'd reply and say as much! It's just unfortunate for the many orgs delivering software that eventually customers start demanding this and it was really painful in Go.

Oh that's an interesting question, I've never tried to build a binary with "replace"-ing one of the builtin packages. Maybe that works? But many of the standard library packages use linker shenanigans, if I recall, like

The comment is accurate that if you don't need this, you can ignore it. It's likely not an avenue for backdoors. I wouldn't say it's security theater but it just isn't meaningful to most. As for why not a library? G

That data isn't sufficient for the claim you're making. Another interpretation could be that one President's CBP was approximately four times as effective. The truth is harder to discern when each administration redefines enc
