The CANOS arxiv link says absolutely nothing about AlphaEvolve, Gemini, or LLMs. It seems to use purely traditional ML models. If AE did in fact write a quick script to test different configurations in order to optimize the results, they don't seem to have bothered to write about it.

I can't read the Nature paper about DeepConsensus, but from the summary, it doesn't really explain what role AE had in improving DC. It would be nice to be able to read about what role it actually played, and whether it used traditional or novel methods of performing it

You're the reason I have to call my ISP to host a minecraft server for a couple of my friends.

Even if you use C++, and your lambdas allocate to the heap when created and deallocate when going out of scope, this paper could still help reduce the need for heap allocation for capturing lambdas in the first place, improving performance.

I think they just meant it's very stereotypically american to drive a very walkable distance and eat McDonald's every day

They need to, as when the "." is not present, your search domains are used, but they are not used when the trailing "." is present.

For example, if you enter "ajdfajkhdfkajd.com", and your search domains contain one item called "mycompany.tld", then the browser will first query DNS servers for "ajdfajkhdfkajd.com.", and when an NXDOMAIN is returned, they will try "ajdfajkhdfkajd.com.mycompany.tld." next. If you type "ajdfajkhdfkajd.com." in the browser directly, only the first query is attempted.

I think gp meant a physical/print copy in the snail mail

It is not so bad with Mastodon but much fedi software gets slower the longer it's been running. "Akkoma Rot" is the one that's typically most talked about but the universe of misskey forks experiences the same problems, and Mastodon can sometimes absolutely crunch to a halt on 4GB of ram even for a single user instance.

Curious about the choice to send requests with WebSocket connections instead of just plain old POST forms. This precludes anyone with javascript disabled from using any of these sites. I don't think there's anything in the business logic preventing it

Why not chroot in and use your now-connected internet to reinstall systemd?

The heartbleed vulnerability was hidden in plain sight for the better part of a decade, no?

Lt_Riza_Hawkeye — Wed, 28 Feb 2024 23:43:06 +0000

While IVAO is more popular in Europe than IVAO is in North America, VATSIM is still more popular in any given region. If you think ATC could be more realistic, or take into consideration anything you think might have been overlooked, I definitely encourage reaching out to your regional vice president. I highly suspect they will share your feelings, but they may be able to expand on what's technically and logistically possible. Sometimes the only barrier is a lack of volunteers! Even VATUSA was without a social media management team lead for several weeks until just a few days ago, due mainly to lack of volunteers.

I believe it only has to be provided to recipients of the binaries, so you can still charge money for linux modifications, such as grsec.

Sure, but you should at least be able to uninstall the plugin. According to the thread it reinstalls itself on each launch

The problem here was Debian's distribution process. Any distro compiling linux from the releases on kernel.org was not affected.

It was an air france accident, it happened twice (both times to air france), one time it resulted in an accident, then it happened again later but it only resulted in an extremely stressful go around

Meta additionally has some internal software called Zelos, which is the zookeeper api but implemented on delos[0], though you didn't hear it from me
