Spotify also originally got all its music by pirating it. But later it started printing money for record labels (while fucking over musicians) so all was forgiven.

the entirety of stackoverflow is not enough data to make the AI work properly. They need terabytes of text, stackoverflow has about 50-100GB of useful data at most

the best you can ever do is make physical attacks more inconvenient, and it succeeds at that.

Here’s another “critical vulnerability”: the attacker can insert a physical device to intercept all keystrokes, and steal the key whenever the user enters it. A hidden camera can also accomplish this

No, you’d need at the very least 2000 logical qubits to break some relatively outdated encryption, this one only has 105 physical qubits (and at their current rate they’d need over 1000 physical qubits for every logical qubit)

and even if you had that, you might still run into other problems

so this seems like a promising breakthrough but it’s still nowhere close to breaking encryption

There is an implicit threat of government censorship there, even if it is ultimately toothless. And since valve is clearly not the one interested in increasing moderation, your point about the 1st amendment “not applying to private forums” is irrelevant

if it’s the government that is doing the censoring, against the will of both the users and the private company, how does it not apply here then?

also the person apparently spent 2 million dollars to find the number. and the money is probably from stock compensation from nvidia

that does happen to be one of the defining characteristics of mersenne primes.

And searching for mersenne primes happens to be the easiest known way to find extremely large prime numbers (via the Special Number Field Sieve I believe)

Looks like the image I found cropped out the signature, seems to be jeremykaye.tumblr.com

Are these families somehow more meritorious than the rest of the population?

lacking multi-generational connections is still a pretty rosy picture of disadvantage. Statistically “unmeritorious” parents are far more likely to have their child suffer from malnutrition due to lack of money and neglect due to the parents working 2 jobs or having substance abuse issues. If the country has private schools, they won’t have access to them and due to living in a low-wealth area their public schools will have a disproportionately high amount of other neglected and abused kids which makes everything harder.

fairly sure hezbollah has more than 2800 members

if you can’t connect to a vpn using only open source software, that’s a crappy vpn

importantly it’s (hopefully) an ISP that operates from a less copyright-happy country and isn’t tied down to tons of expensive infrastructure and long-term contracts

Rules of thumb can be very useful for a relatively inexperienced programmer, and once you understand why they exist you can choose to ignore them when they would get in the way. Clean Code is totally unhinged though

realistically, the linux foundation gets all its funding from corporations who have interests in servers, android and embedded. So all the funding goes to those things and not to the linux desktop.

other techbros have praised him, citing the exact list of symptoms google gives for “high-functioning psychopath”

(disclaimer: google may give bad medical advice)

you can often just slap compiler cache on a project and get a 20-150x speedup, but when the original compile time was 45 minutes, it’s still slow enough to disrupt your workflow (though, I suspect you may be talking about some manual method that may be even faster. But are those really common enough where you would call the lack of it a code smell?)
