Interesting

I guess it would be "trivial" to have a bounty on each of the future numbers, since you could encrypt a bitcoin private key with it (it would probably make sense to do RSA -> AES key that encodes the BTC private key)

This makes no sense to me

If I think about asm:

function1:

    (do stuff)

    jp function1

    ret

function2:

    (other stuff)

    ret

main:

    call function1

    call function2

the 2nd call might happen internally due to branch prediction but in practice it shouldn't and the processor fixes this

Oh yeah and TFA also goes with:

> The funny bit is that C got this right.(...) but C included one more rule: loops whose controlling expression is a constant expression may not be assumed to terminate.

Well, duh! A broken clock is right twice a day it seems

I think it's more like a (kinda) VLIW machine but yes, pretty much

They do

x86 bytecode is bytecode

Yeah, works if you're 2h away from the venue.

> That marketing guy should not be talking to the press, as he does not have the skills

They have way more skills than the technical folk in doing that

If I had been just out of Uni I would think this is edgy

Now I'm just glad I'm not responsible for this fire

Funny, to justify Brexit numbers like these were meaningless

No, it seems governments can only ignore the concerns then complain the 'alt-right' parties get voted

It's not a "bunch of teenagers", a regular pipe won't cause a train to derail, one would need heavy machinery to move that rail in France

Enjoy and consume $product faster

Thanks for buying $product, $consumer

Not from an external point of view, as you might have a momentum component perpendicular to that plane

(but yes I think you might be right if we're centered on the CG)

Yes. Because 3 points are coplanar, so every "3D problem" with 3 objects can be turned into a 2D problem on the correspondent plane

(of course in real life your plane would keep changing, and probably some other complicated math I can't think right now)

Shoelaces suck basically

> It seems more sensible to maintain a fleet of Windows desktops specifically for CAD and industrial control.

I don't see why. Build a VM image in the more sensible OS and work from there

Don't worry about IT support, just burn the VM and replace whenever something gets weird

They probably can solve every video driver issue they find or just find a way to use an nVidia card on a beefy Intel Mac

(or do the same on Linux - also possible)

Yes I want to scream everytime a tool gives me crap for "no newline at end of file" or other similar BS

I don't care. I never cared. And every sane tool knows how to deal with it

Shut up and stop thinking we're still in the 70s

Yeah. Sounds like this is no longer Automattic for the People

100% this

(Also for anything that needs to work on a shell script or whatever)

I roll my eyes every time some "super secure secret generator" gives me a password with &^%#$ that I need to use on a shell script. Thanks for making my life harder I guess

"oh but you just need to escape them" Yes please be my guest trying to deal with character escape whack-a-mole

I think it's a much simpler reason, they're running out of money to have the rat race run at the current pace

This is bound to age as well as the "Why the housing bubble will not burst" book (I mean, it's already a joke)

It is such a list of propaganda and ignoring the problems it's not even funny

> I have a PhD in computational logic.

And you don't know how the peer-review system works?

Just a hunch but Claude saying your work is "PhD level" does not count

Makes me wonder if he really is back or the board just "forgot" to take his account offline

Title is confusing, it should be "The first conviction ever recorded may have happened in London"

> but does the cost for handling cash really scale (even approximately) proportionally with the number of transactions or revenue?

Yes, it sounds weird but it does

- Providing change is a pain and it's a "fixed time" cost

- Moving money around (also some banks charge for money deposits for commercial accounts)

- Dealing with "shrinkage" in various ways (even if you have insurance)

Talking about sound quality: I'm surprised at how good the Apple event sounded, even on your average (wired) headphones

Sounds much better than some 80% of YT videos

I honestly still don't get how it's a good idea to have such a frail part being central to the phone experience and we probably don't know what are all the failure modes

For example, I bet Apple is not splitting the video signal and feeding it from both sides, which means that if your screen "fails funny" you get a dead left panel.

Zero-radius folds are rarely a good idea

Honestly the stems always looked kinda dorky to me

It will be fun if the AI realize that quantum is not needed and just simulate the results in a classical computer

No, I am "How The Fuck Is Cyber Bullying Real... Just Walk Away From The Screen Like, Close Your Eyes" pilled

> that might also be driven by the huge ego (or really rather the very small ego)

100%

The hubris is immense

There are plenty of offline things that are more dangerous than AI

Is this Blake Lemoine 2.0?
