Do you align ants in your backyard, or do you simply demolish their home and build your shed?

The same reason why taking a bicycle is preferable through a nice wooded area even though you could technically drive as well

Good post! I spent my vacation reading From Third World to First by Lee Kuan Yew. And I have a couple of university textbooks (Physics and Biology) lying about, waiting for me to keep working on them. I concur with the general feeling of it

You could also have lost because of your genetics or not actually working as hard as the others or both. This whole "wanting it hard enough" schtick feels like an invented reason. I want things, I don't get things, therefore

Homework is no longer useful in the era of AI. Options are: treat kids like they are able to make responsible choices, and accept that much more of them will fail; or, keep the charade of grading AI-"assisted" homework and push ki

Rx? Is it like Rx by Paul Le Roux, famous drug kingpin?

Same lmao. Similarly, I don't want to be rude or assume things but I'm really annoyed with 20-something-year-olds giving out life advice. (I don't know if the author is in 20s)

Using "cache" for this whole dynamic is annoying; not everything is a computer

Good post! Also, in my opinion, domain expertise is actually more interesting than pure coding ability. Coding, for me, has always been a means to an end. I'm equally happy with a spreadsheet if it solves my problem, and in fact I hate

The first thing. Invoked processes inherit the permissions of the user who invoked them (unless they have the setuid bit). It's just in case you land access to a computer which has all the standard Unix tools disabled to stop attackers

Huh? How does that work exactly? I've heard of /proc fuckery before but didn't know you could disable aslr with it.

You need initial access. This is just a list of tools you can use if you can't spawn a standard interactive shell, for whatever reason. It doesn't make it easier to "hack" servers, it's just a list of things that yo

> Fundamental in the dependency cooldown plan is the hope that other people - those who weren't smart enough to configure a cooldown - serve as unpaid, inadvertent beta testers for newly released packages. This is wrong to an extent

This would just speed up the discovery -> patch cycle, at least until such time that all the low hanging fruit (=represented in training data) is patched. Though another possibility would be that since LLMs generate so much code, the LLM

I agree with you. It's clear that they're leaving X because "X bad", but they don't want to say it that way. I don't know if X is or isn't bad, but it seems pretty mainstream and a good representation of a

I can't get it to save emails that I've corresponded with on the Android app. I always have to find specific emails in the email history, and then "Compose message to". If I try to start a new email and start typing the

Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal? I have friends and I don't use Discord or understand why I would want to use it.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Deploy a VM that runs an LLM so that I can talk to it via Telegram... I could just talk to it through an app or a web interface. I'm not even trying to be snarky, like what the hell even is the use cas
