It's not AI, but I have good news for you though : what you seek already exists !

I'm sorry I know this HN and not reddit, but your formulation is so close to the meme "Thinking quickly, Dave constructs a homemade megaphone, using only some string, a squirrel, and a megaphone."

Unless it has been recently standardized it's not valid C, it's a GNU extension.

You should check out the lpc8N04 from NXP then ;)

I'm sorry, but that's a really narrow minded take. There are a lot of good reasons to have IDA or Ghidra installed on your computer, if only for fun and learning reverse-engineering. This should NOT prevent you to play others games.

( To everybody reading this : if you like computer and puzzles, you should absolutly try to reverse-engineer a simple binary at least once. It's fun !)

I have tried quite a lot of alternative discord clients, my favorite is still Abaddon[0]. It works great, and its UI is fonctionnal enough for my needs.

stdint.h defining the fixed width integer is part of C99. I wouldn't call that recent !

Yeah because as everybody knows the steamdeck, which fits exactly your description, was a huge failure.

Thank you for your response. You are right that my phrasing implied a bit too much conspiracy. That was not really my intention, but I was curious to have experts views on those hypothetis.

Ask HN: Why is LK-99 public?

G4E — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 11:26:45 +0000

Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that a break through technology is shared with the rest of the world immediatly. Let's assume that it is real. I can't help but wonder why a so significant discovery is published so soon. Wouldn't the laboratory or even the state in which this discovery was made want to keep it secret, to have this edge over its concurrents ? Akin TMSC for exemple. Isn't there significant military applications possibles ? With that in mind, would it be possible that : 1/ that discovery is not new, and better superconductor already exist somewhere ? 2/ the rushed publication would be like a leak, to prevent exactly that ?

I am objecting to what you are saying. It's terrible advice and an obtuse vision of the complexity of software nowadays, especially web browser.

Yes, a 3 months old release of chrome is not suited to use day to day. I link all the known and published CVE on chrome, but if you want to nickpick you could "just" check those which start with 2023-*.

Those are all upstream bugs, not Arch's. That's the trade off when you're running bleeding edge, but you can't blame Archlinux for packaging a buggy application.

And that's exactly how the automobile was invented. Look for exemple at Delamarre-Deboutteville's car[0], one of the first.

Even the first argument "no hidden control flow" is disingenuous : either the object you are summing are complex and you have to call a custom function to define what "summing" means in that case (you need to provide the summing function), or those are a primitive type and you're just calling a function builtin the language itself. In every case, you are calling a function ...
