The simplest example being a stack buffer that expands to a heap allocation when required. There is an API pattern to facilitate this: when the size of the provided "out" buffer is insufficient to hold the result, return an approp

I tried to remove the browser from my smartphone and it was impossible because of all these stupid QR scanning requirements everywhere.

I have Sol do that for me and it does a decent job. When I ask Opus to rewrite its own prose the results are not much improved.

The New Yorker may be pretentious but it's generally not unreadable like Opus.

Seconded, and also using Sol to clean up Opus logorrhea.

She chose to pursue fringe directions in physics which may or may not have been related to her lack of academic success.

It turned out she had more talent for being a science influencer than a scientist.

The point of that is to justify actual violence to suppress speech.

Pol Pot and Stalin were self-proclaimed anti-fascists, so opposing them makes one a fascist?

I guess there are a few statues in Finland honoring the Red Guard?

That seems hugely speculative without any supporting evidence.

AI will have plenty of security bugs left to find in Rust codebases.

I would also have instinctively reached for a large VM reservation to exploit demand paging. I have used that pattern a lot in C++ but not in Rust, so I don't know how difficult it would be to implement there.

If this unbounded state were asymptotic then it wouldn't be unphysical, but a freely falling particle reaches the singularity in finite time. A freely falling observer crossing the event horizon could in principle perform this measurem

Unfortunately that seems like a question for AWS support. I'm not sure they'd be willing to document a formula.

I don't believe that annexing Canada is really a MAGA issue, even though they may claim to support it. I think it's just an inexplicable Trumpian obsession like Greenland.

They have published 2 academic papers about it. What more do you want, operational details?

Huh, I'm not on bsky so I wouldn't know. To be clear, I was not talking about troll accounts, but about OSINT accounts that generally try to present accurate info and happen to be pro-Russian. E.g. when I was following this stuff

It's so bad that my workflow has Sol rewrite all comments and error messages produced by Claude.

The curvature scalar can be physically evaluated by measuring the volume of a small ball of freely falling test particles and comparing to its volume in flat spacetime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalar_curvature#Rel
