No? CK is better than I gave it credit for, didn’t take 15 minutes, took 2, somehow a lot faster than before, probably system busy. I was using hybrid which is wrong for this query. Still semble is a few orders of magnitude faster and gave

Try running both on the CK codebase. CK takes like 15 minutes to index itself and gives hundreds of completely irrelevant doc comments as results for “run model on CPU” query. Semble indexes for like 3 seconds and prints out the actual code

Realistically, if you are scanning each kernel commit to check if they might be patching a security issue, you are going to be asking an LLM "is this security related, if so vaguely how" with low effort and taking "maybe&quot

For GET /, sure, and some mature load balancers can do this. For POST /upload_video, no. You'd have to store all in-flight requests, either in-memory or on disk, in case you need to replay the entire thing with a different ba

And at the same time, Apple claimed it was the biggest ever album release by number of downloads, or something like that. They were not only messing with our libraries, they were claiming we wanted it and were in fact U2 fans.

You can absolutely do that and there is nothing for general linear algebra libraries to do. The actual paper is very clear about what it's for: https://fiteoweb.unige.ch/~eckmannj/ps_files/ETPRL.pdf It says:

How about -F -regexthatlookslikeaflag? Verbatim, that errors out as the command line parsing tries to interpret it as a flag. If you don’t have -F, then you can escape the leading hyphen with a backslash in a single quoted string: '\-r

Maybe it’s better selfhosted, but GitLab is almost unbearably slow. I booted up a Gerrit instance to compare and simply rendering a MR page is maybe 10 seconds vs zero. GitHub is still 10x faster. GitLab manages to be almost that slow for c

Sure, wasn’t sure that even needed to be said at this point, but even so, this form was probably produced by a broker. Even if it does not cover things like this https://www.businessinsider.com/jane-roberts-chief-justice-w..

Some people may enjoy going through an enormous learning curve to do configuration like that, but the benefits there are pretty abstract and personal, and the pressure to make the onboarding any easier is very low. It's partly because

Car and aircraft bodies generally fall under the “useful articles” exception, so they are not copyrightable. Otherwise they would be sculptures. There is a separate regime that covers useful articles: design patents, which have a much short

No need to apologise! You got me pretty good.

In case this needs to be pointed out, an RCE in a game is an accident, not the way they designed their multiplayer to work. I was describing why the Firefox team might wait for a feature to be security-hardened before releasing it. The answ

I would love to hear about an implementation of multiplayer that receives code from hostile opponents and executes it, but I do not anticipate you'll find many examples.

You can say the same thing about something as simple as "shared memory" -- normal multiprocessing computers have had shared memory since time immemorial, but browsers literally disabled SharedArrayBuffer from 2018 to 2020 and anyo

You can do all of this with https://materialize.com , and you don’t need to write it in Java. Just connect it to a Postgres instance and start creating materialised views using SQL. These views then auto update. So much so, that

If it’s talking about x86, then yes the eax register is 32 bits wide. The low 16 bits of the same register are called “ax”.

I think you might be forgetting that Apple Pay exists and has worked on the web for years. This looks like a standardised version of Apple Pay.

The code for the Hyperplane type is unfortunately omitted. It’s the most important code in the whole thing.

That’s why the EU is forcing them to allow side loading apps. That’s the right way about it.

Yes. The non-JS interfaces are Dawn (C++) and wgpu (Rust). The Bevy game engine uses wgpu and I think many others will do the same. You can't really generalise from "typical web APIs" in the way that you have.

If you want them to call you and ask "Are you really not a business?" after you tick the box that says "I'm not a business", that also costs them money. There's no way around the fact that they operate this at
