Odd they still have i686-pc-windows-msvc as Tier 1 *. Even Microsoft doesn't have any supported 32bit Windows versions anymore, and C extension modules likely follow Linux (where Python doesn't have any no supported i686 triplets

The problem with HTMX is not network traffic but needing to use hyperscript for anything advanced.

"we used a fuzzer to minimize a corpus of 10 million PDF files down to 4,200 without any loss of code coverage" Did they need a fuzzer for that? They could've render them all and see what's exercised?

Trump publicly prohibited various Israeli operations (at end of 2025 op and 2026 Iran war), publicly badmouthed Nethanyahu repeatedly (via Barak Ravid), and had various diplomatic initiatives Nethanyahu didn't like. It's pretty ob

If they're good enough at useful tasks and cheaper than any human, the economic and political effect is the same regardless of whether they are 'intelligent' or 'pretend-to-be-intelligent'. The philosophical debate

We can all read the news and see AI constantly improving at a very quick pace. What's the barrier AI can't improve beyond? One that would last a lifetime? By all means (since you're such an accomplished person), explain yours

The problem is that he relies on a dubious Acemoglu estimate, without realizing that at best it's temporary. AI will be better than humans in doing tasks (the qualifiers don't matter in the aggregate). Any jobs then would be bul

There are several good points there, but there are also several points where I must disagree. First, Acemoglu may have a Noble Prize (occasionally dubious data selection aside[0]), but even he does not pretend to have the information of a c

That's easily worked around (e.g. fisheye and appropriate correction). The real problem is that the scenarios discussed don't allow for setup, otherwise they could just use preplaced cameras...

While the argument is probably right, the author may notice he's asking AI websites on AI water usage. Perhaps he should consult more neutral sources, at least to introduce the habit of critical thinking.

It looks like that by simply reducing use in welding, lifting, and purging gas (all with clear alternatives) and maybe also 'leak detection' and 'other' (not expounded on in the article), they can fill in for the entire

Yea, the US joined in in 2025, what should it imply about a future war? The assumption that Iran doesn't know who's bombing it sounds rather dubious. If anything, it should be very much in their interest to assume away US involvem

We saw regime collapses in the Arab Spring - it's not a simple or short process, most regimes survived (either directly or via reversion). Even when a regime was overthrown, the replacement was usually not more hostile to Israel. e.g.
