The neat thing is that Reddit is community moderated. Each community is allowed to set their own standards, but they also need to clean up their own spam. So, /r/science doesn't allow any jokes at all while /r/Antiwork bans anything that's pro-corporation.

But several times, mostly when the controversy got too hot, the admins have killed subreddits, like /r/The_Donald, /r/incels, and /r/FatPeopleHate.

Given the Turing completeness of fonts, you might be able to do actual encryption with a custom font that has a key baked in.

I don't like the original diceware list. The EFF made a pretty good list though: https://www.eff.org/dice

Reality in Sudan seems pretty rough right now.

Given your skill level, I would recommend working through the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs in Racket, which has a nice self-contained development environment.

I prefer the name for them that they use in the API, which is "guild".

That one's pretty easy to disprove though. Just have a computer solve a random NP-complete problem and then verify it by hand.

I'm not sure what you mean that the necessary studies have not been done. Because they have and broadly agree that a fourth vaccination provides benefits against hospitalization (though not infection) for older people, generally based on epidemiological measures of population-wide severe cases of COVID-19, not immune response.

I remember reading some PIO documentation that explained that PIOs were for handling all sorts of interfaces, from basic flash to cursed displays found on AliExpress.

Generally, I'd use Eclipse Temurin from Adoptium, if I not already in a Linux distro that has a JRE package.

I don't really like Discord's threads. They're basically a channel nested inside of a channel, but they don't really interact with or get exposed in the outer channel. And by default, they disappear after a while. And the threads are kind of hard to find if you haven't joined them yet.

Something that has a UX more like traditional forums as a chat app sounds neat to me.

Unsurprising. Over 58 million US chickens have died of the H5N1 bird flu in the last year. Although it seems to have slowed down considerably in the last two months. Currently, South America is having a lot of problems with the same strain.

An Nvidia RTX 4090 can crack a 4 digit pin using PBKDF2 with 200k iterations in less than a quarter of a second. Argon2 is definitely the better option, but even at 1 hash per second, that's less 3 hours.

You can't safely use old browsers on the internet. Heck, you can't really safely connect old anything to the internet.

I feel like lower level languages like Rust make it more obvious when you're doing something that isn't great for performance and often have a standard library that helps abstract away the details of doing things in a performant way.

If you axe 60 features and there are 20 features left that are used by that 50 percent, then that might be a legitimate tradeoff from a business perspective.

The biggest thing that I'm seeing that Singh has over Huffman is the adjustable detail-preserving terrain smoothing. Detail-preserving blur algorithms don't generalize well. Application-specific NN solutions tend to excel at this problem, by having a model of what details are important vs incidental.

I would like to see a combination of the two, with the terrain pre-processed before being used in Blender.

> Many standard shading algorithms exist for creating shaded reliefs, some can easily be found in applications like ArcGIS and QGIS but they are simply not expressive enough (see our paper for examples). Creating these reliefs is partially an art form rather than a simple illumination problem, so trying to encode the 'human-ness' into step-by-step algorithms is simply too difficult. This is where ML enters the picture.

My problem is that I have never been able to purchase residential internet that allowed me to open port 443 or port 80.

That would be probably be Lena (https://qntm.org/mmacevedo).

It doesn't appear to be visible on mobile, only desktop.

Scopalamine is amazing. Being on the ocean is otherwise a debilitating ordeal for me. Worked really well on cruises I've been on.

I mean, it doesn't take much for a class of errors that has existed for 55 years to cause a billion dollars in damage. Just in US labor costs, that's less than 5 hours per developer year. And I probably spend about 10 hours a year on average dealing with NPEs.

This doesn't use WASM or a browser at all. This is an new, original x86-64 machine code interpreter with a JIT compiler that supports x86-64 and aarch64. This is an extension of Justine's APE project to use x86-64 ELF as the core of write-once-run-anywhere software.

One of the important parts of ChatGPT over plain GPT-3 is the reinforcement learning from human feedback to ensure alignment, without which it's not quite as good of a product for the public.

I can't tell, since I don't have a Mac, but looking at the code, it implements a note from the Safari documentation for canvas [0]. I assume that if you don't do this, it either is very small or very pixelated.

You can do something similar in F#. This creates a cross-platform desktop GUI.

Because VSCode relies on garbage collection, but WASM doesn't support garbage collection yet. Vim is written in C and manages its memory manually.

Perl's original "use strict" was added in 1994 with Perl 5, to allow backward compatibility with Perl 4 scripts.

C++ can do it with variadic template overloading.
