> Unfortunately the PR and the PR author will forever be listed there

If they've been doing that to the other repo (and especially if they're just a spam account), there's a good chance using the "report" button and/or contacting GH support directly can yield positive results, up to the spam account being deleted (and the PR is usually deleted).

Unfortunately this doesn't scale.


I wouldn't, but that does really put some perspective on it.

His trouble isn't just from the time in jail, though. It's from all the Trump supporters who harass him as well. Previously, and in the future.


I'm unclear how this relates to the linked article

Metadata? Pretty sure they scraped the files and released them too.

Just curious what constitutes a 'demanding' coding task for you.

In C, errors are usually indicated by a negative return value constant, crashing the program with abort, or setting the errno global (thread-local, but whatever) and expecting callers to check it. Sometimes multiple of those.

This is exactly what India's UPI (Unified Payments Interface) works. No PII, just a UPI ID is given and the user gets a push notification in Android/iOS app for approval (with PIN or security enclave like fingerprint).

Qian is a typical opportunist, who had been contacting ccp since 1930s. He was already away from military and academia for years, while he pouring huge sum of money into his immigration case. After deported from US, his job in China was mostly management.

No one here would know what it meant.

Unless they collect stamps.


Hail hydra

We have overincarceration and underincarceration simultaneously.

Some who are in jail should not be. Some who aren't in jail should be. If I locked you up for a month over a meme, I'd go to jail for years.


that is literally the way. these magats need accountability.

The imprecise language in these studies often means people can interpret them in whatever way they want.

This study defines moderate as "brisk" walking, suggesting that it's not just walking.

Athletes live in their own bubble where "vigorous" means "maximal".

Freudian slip?


No, it's not. There are a lot more thoughtful comments and some questioning the headline for its clickbait.

I agree there are a lot more low quality comments, though. It depends on the article.


Thats a good argument but those are also features that could be provided by the force of government power in a government and country where the government is not and has not intentionally been corrupted, partially for the very purpose of preventing something like digital cash that is anonymous just like cash was before people foolishly gave in to the “convenience” of cards and acting like they had money by using credit cards.

This is pretty wrong. There are a lot of people who _hate it_, but it is still a minority. And older people dislike it more than younger people.

Feelings on it are quite mixed, but people who hate it and boosters are both incredibly loud about it.


well and where is the line between true intent vs lack of caring. if bloat is a side effect of feature creep and project handoffs, slowing old devices is an "unintended" feature.

He keeps his Gulfstream fueled and ready to go to Cyprus, where he bought a passport. In Cyprus there is an international "elite" of Western and Russian oligarchs.

But the authoritative root server set is maintained by ICANN, so they have ultimate control (for now) and can essentially dictate terms for all TLDs.

fireworks hosts Qwen 3.6 Plus, they might also get Qwen 3.7 Plus.

The takes I've seen from pretty much all the numerical analysts is that posits are not really viable as a replacement for floating-point; they're just a much worse implementation. There are a lot of flaws with IEEE 754 (I'm upset that NaN != NaN, e.g., and sNaNs seem to be universally considered a design mistake), but the underlying theory behind it is very well worked-out, and even its more controversial features (like denormals) turn out to have been vital innovations.

One of the issues with posits from a numerical perspective is that it's main claim to fame of being more accurate is handled by having the number of precision bits being dependent on the exponent value, which means it's a return to the days of having to scale your input so that the values are around unity to maximize, rather than the promise of floating-point of being scale-independent.


The path to solving a culture that overincarcerates is not by incarcerating those involved in perpetuating that culture.

We need to tame the impulse to throw people in jail for doing things we dislike, not just point it at different targets.

I see several comments saying that criminal charges should be brought over this. That is not the way.


And if not for the rise of AI it's possible that WASM as a machine-level compilation target for all languages might have happened. As much as Gary predicted he didn't see AI coming.

I don't actually care about AI images?

Most of them are pretty bad just like 90% of everything is bad. Humans create bad art all day long too.

I gave a specific example of a making a texture for a videogame? How does that change what you actually said to me very specifically despite maybe not reading what I said?

To the extent that I'm upset its at peoples capitulation at this DRM nonsense over being overly reactive to ... internet images which dont matter.

I don't think this matters overall because I wouldn't use openai to make an image anyway. ./shrug


WASM has been adopted and it has improved massively since 2017 though.

You seem to be operating under the assumption "undefined behavior" means "the compiler authors can decide what to do." That's not what it means. It means "any program that causes this behavior to be triggered is not a valid C program, the programmer knows this and did not submit an invalid program, and the programmer explicitly prevented this from happening elsewhere in ways automated analysis cannot detect. Proceed with compilation knowing this branch is impossible."

The spelling for compiler authors getting to choose a behavior is "implementation defined", as the other comment mentions.


It's almost universally better to use inline assembly via a macro to read/write mmio rather than use volatile.

A large crop harvester is a tool, but if you used to work on a farm by hand it's not a tool you're going to get to use. It's a replacement for your labour and value, right? someone else will get to use the tool and earn money.

So the question is in what way ai is a tool to these kids.


what do people need to hear? inspiration or truth? Personally I want the cold awful truth. But I think humanity in general thrives on inspiration and delusion.
