Despite all the fancy language, its more about aligning the AI behavior with the corporation's interests. ie: the corporation wants the AI to behave a certain way for various reasons: to make it easier for them to avoid regulation, to

Prompt regurgitation. Model was likely instructed to create the app to do this piece "by hand" (or a phrase with similar interpretation) because the author wanted to avoid pulling in a dependency of some kind.

It'd be very unfortunate if Postgres didn't have regression tests for data loss due to bad io patterns. Should be possible to do some checks against those in an appropriate test harness. Which might mean "have qemu run someth

Yes, I agree it would be very nice to have a way to integrate ACME into zeroserve. I'm not sure if zeroserve's plugin system might allow one to add a plugin to support it?

zeroserve doesn't use the Linux kernel's eBPF runtime to run the eBPF it uses, so the constraints of the Linux kernel's eBPF runtime (chosen because of how the Linux kernel thinks about protecting the Linux kernel from user s

I hope this signals a departure from us being stuck without web usb in firefox too. It's a shame that I've been stuck using chrome for it. And maybe we'll get web bluetooth too.

I think their site is just slow, potentially because more people than they are used to are trying to view it. I was unable to load it initially (got an error from firefox) and had to re-attempt. Still slow if one forces a reload (shift-r, e

The idea with either requiring very wide band or frequency hopping on the 900Mhz band is to make it so that usages of the 900Mhz band 1. are tolerant to some loss (ie: by temporary collision) and 2. don't collide continuously (by using

The Apple way for hardware is more to design the thing so it breaks under normal use very quickly, and then refuse to replace it under warranty.

Seems you could use a single SQL statement for that particular formulation. Something like this, using CTEs is possible, but alternately one can reformat them as subqueries. (note: not sure how the select of orders is intended to be used, s

Garbage collection is not required for memory safety. Languages that have garbage collection are not all memory safe.

It seems like the messenger might endorse the message though, and is attempting to be coy. Folks should be careful of people using the "messenger" title to attempt to obtain the appearance of impartiality.

OpenBSD does start X. And subsequently OpenBSD apparently hangs (or did so previously) when OpenBSD was running under Qemu. The subject in the parent comment changed to OpenBSD when they mentioned it, and it appears you may have overlooked

Possibly a better comparison (though a bit dated now) would be AT&T (or whatever telephone monopoly one had/has in their locality) charging an additional fee to use a telephone that isn't sold/rented to them by AT&T.

You've linked to a bug that was unintentional and was fixed. Go allowing torn writes for their slices and interfaces (their fat pointer types) is intentional behavior in the go implementation and has no sign of being fixed. Some one ge

Here's an example where a bug could exist in go due torn writes in a real program. I found this by searching for places where folks reload there config at runtime, as they are generally a place where people forget to synchronize correc

In that case, I can just refer back to my original comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46388948 And then note that memorysafety.org says this (in case folks haven't read it): > Memory safety is a property

"at the moment" implies that Go would need to change for that statement to change, but instead we're waiting on a programer to make a mistake (A mistake that memory safe languages prevent). Which does get us to why defining t

Interesting interpretation of that phrase. I think saying "probabilistically memory safe" would be more accurate (and more clearly communicate that idea), because we're betting on when a known case of memory unsafety in the l

It sounds like you have a definition of memory safety you aren't disclosing. Please fully provide your definition of memory safety. Not interested in trying to figure out what it is in a 20-questions-over-hn way.

One can evaluate Go using the extent of the definition from the site itself, which uses out of bounds reads and writes as a sign of memory unsafety. Go's implementation allows torn writes for interfaces (which are 2 words in size). The

Go can have memory unsafety leading to arbitrary memory reads and writes by having an interface replaced by another thread (go interfaces use 2 words, one for the vtable and another for the data. It does not replace these in a thread safe w

This site is curious in that in incorrectly categorizes go as memory safe. Perhaps in part because the sponsors are invested in using go and benefit from its inclusion in a list of memory safe languages.

The chart does not describe speed (either in general or in any particular case). Speed/performance/latency is a thing users care about that is not included in the feature list.
