As another commenter noted, I don’t trust NYT’s lawyers with my chats any less than OpenAI, but spreading private data should be limited as far as possible. I just cancelled my NYT subscription because of their actions, detailing the reason

I agree that it’s not zero, but according to CDC, the US sees about 1.35 million cases per year in a population of about 346 million, which is about 390 cases per 100,000 people. Your figure for the EU over a population of 447 million in 20

It’s like they need a socialist revolution in China. Workers of the world, unite!

Yep, completely agree. For the project I'm currently doing, it seems like a fairly good fit though. Lots of prototyping different approximations, and needs to be faster than plain numpy. Also, the jitclass things help somewhat. I use t

I recently (last week) started using numba, for similar reasons to why the author seems to like Julia. I tested translating his example to numba: @numba.njit(parallel=True, fastmath=True) def w(M, a): n = len(a) for i in n

The number of people in intensive care is most certainly not growing exponentially. Please see the official statistics on https://portal.icuregswe.org/siri/report/vtfstart-corona . The number of patients admitted

I don't quite agree with your complaints. Regarding #2, what do you consider the problem with representing arbitrary precision decimals as numbers? That your javascript json parser converts json numbers to 64-bit floats? I'm not s

Isn't it quite close to both 403 Forbidden, "request was a legal request, but the server is refusing to respond to it" and 401 Unauthorized? And now it's on the wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_status_codes , and that equates w

And specifically the referenced slashdot discussion and comment: http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2906113&cid=4027... Indeed, very amusing and to the point.

What is "SSL host headers"? Is it wildcard certs, as Microsoft describes them on http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer20... ?

The github repo at https://github.com/inimino/ActiveShell looks pretty empty... It would be nice to have even a non-"serious" version to play with, since by your description, it would be pretty cool and useful.

1): The disk doesn't seem to be emulated; it's just a rootfs in RAM. 2): See another thread here. 3): Check out cpux86.js. In the start() function at the very end, the following section might be enlighting (even though it is a bit obfuscate

I guess a tun/tap to some server-side service might be possible too, but perhaps not very interesting. The x86 dynamic library api suggested in the tech notes sounds more useful. Edit: Easier idea might be adding ttyS1 and connecting that t

Coming in late, but I guess the thread you refer to is "Finishing the network protocol" at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2011-Mar... . After skimming through it, I'm not afraid for the network transparency any longer
