I've had this experience too. One thing I've found that can sometimes help with laptops failing to connect is renaming your iPhone in the settings (which in turn renames the hotspot name)

New LLM benchmark incoming? I bet once it's done, people will still say it's not AGI.

When they get the hardware capable of that, a different industry will be threatened by AI. The oldest industry.

Song of Solomon I guess

Textile?

The emperor's (empresses?) new textile.

I genuinely thought this was satire until I looked it up. I guess it's just to make us webdevs feel at home in the Terminal (ooh, spooky!)

Awesome stuff :) The results are really impressive.

GPU acceleration is a really good idea; my CPU implementation of a similar idea with triangles (https://github.com/anematode/triangle-stacking) was compute constrained for smaller images (which was fixable with good SIMD optimizations) but became bandwidth constrained for very large images that don't fit in L2. I think a port to OpenCL would have been a good idea.


> Sometimes even SIMD (eez nuts?)

I'm a bit rusty here, does V8 actually do auto-vectorization of JavaScript code these days?


I don't think v8 does any auto-vectorization unless it's been added since 2024 which was the last time I checked.

Thanks! That tracks; ~a year ago I tried fruitlessly to get some numerical stuff to vectorize in Node.js... gave up and switched to WASM SIMD.

This is really terrible advice.

> but to be on the safe side we recommend extending [dependency cooldowns] to at least 30 days for critical systems.

I'd say at least a year, no? The xz backdoor took a couple months to find, and that was only because we got lucky -- had it never been found, Jia Tan and his buddies probably would have gotten enough useful data after a year, so it'd be irrelevant at that point anyway.

> Prefer stable, low-activity packages

The authors didn't mention Rust in this section, which is a travesty and would have greatly strengthened their argument. Sooo many "abandoned" projects in cargo are just finished and need no maintenance.


Hi, I work on Stockfish! Likely what's going on is that your Lichess instance is running in MultiPV mode, which displays the top N moves (5 by default, iirc). This can be useful for analysis, but it leads to more time exploring disfavored lines, and therefore lower depth. The desktop version defaults to MultiPV = 1.


I also work on Stockfish, that is not the reason. The reason is because the SF17.1 is functionally different, there is no way to get these to match without changing the net option to be the same as the stockfish binary.

See https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/69515c60572093c1... and https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/pull/18671


Viren's been around a lot longer than I have, so I'd trust him instead ;) You can actually run the large net in Lichess (by selecting the larger engine in the dropdown) which would be dispositive.


I don't work on Stockfish, but I can suggest using ShashChess instead. It is Stockfosh, but on top of that, it has been improved to capture the spirit of the human ingenuity and creativity.


Sounds like a potential Amazon product.


Sounds like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_Turk (because that's the joke).


Either you're playing around by extending a joke to the point that I can't follow it, or you forgot to read the first sentence of your own article.


Your problem is that you have only one comment's worth of context and can't be bothered to read up the thread. The comment was "Don't be surprised when you learn their so-called "chess bots" are actually people, lying hidden below the floor of the passenger cabin, moving pieces with the help of levers and magnets."

That was a joke about the Mechanical Turk (as a response to "I used to fly a lot of Turkish, and their one's laughably bad. If anyone here works for Turkish Airlines, get yourself a better Chess bot"), which is why I said that's what it sounds like and provided the link. "Amazon Mechanical Turk" does not involve hidden people moving the pieces with the help of levers and magnets and has nothing to do with chess bots on Turkish airlines. I posted the link because most people aren't familiar with the Mechanical Turk and would not know what @tomjakubowski's joke referred to.

I'm sorry if you still can't follow, but your failure to comprehend isn't my fault and I'd rather not be insulted for simply posting an informative link because of someone else's misunderstanding so I'm not going to comment further.


You are making unwarranted assumptions here. I read the comments in order.

tomjakubowski joked about the mechanical turk. anematode recognized the reference, you recognized the reference, and I recognized the reference.

But you didn't reply to tomjakubowski as a general explainer to the audience. You replied to anematode. You replied to anematode in a way that suggested they needed the joke explained, even though they not only understood it, they expanded on it.

That's what I didn't comprehend. Why did you reply there and phrase it like that. And you still haven't explained.

Your claim that [["Amazon Mechanical Turk" does not involve hidden people moving the pieces with the help of levers and magnets and has nothing to do with chess bots on Turkish airlines.]] makes it sound like you still don't understand anematode's joke. Amazon's mechanical turk is named after the original mechanical turk. It has very much to do with turkish chess bots.


> That's what I didn't comprehend. Why did you reply there and phrase it like that.

This is so dumb ... I responded to "sounds like" ... duh.


I know you responded to "sounds like", I'm asking why.

When they said "sounds like", they were acknowledging the mechanical turk joke, and extending it. Your response looks like you're calling them wrong, like why are they talking about amazon, it's actually about mechanical turk! Which would be a deep misunderstanding of their comment.

Could you just say yes or no: When you first replied, did you realize they understood the mechanical turk joke?


> I'm asking why.

You never asked anything, rude boy. All the misunderstanding is yours. I said I wouldn't respond again to your sealioning ... I'll stick to it this time. Over and out.


It's true that I technically didn't ask. I said "you did x or y" and thought "Could you clarify?" was implied if you wanted to reply.

And then you wrote so many words without ever making it clear if you understood anematode's comment.

Weird for you to call me rude after the insults you sprinkled around...


The sealioning j-a pretends that "Either you're playing around by extending a joke to the point that I can't follow it, or you forgot to read the first sentence of your own article" and all of the rest of his comments aren't rude while playing the "no you" game.

A loss of functionality, but arguably a good thing, e.g. moving will never throw an exception/panic so you don't need an equivalent to is_nothrow_move_constructible


We really are in the worst timeline, huh? I wish there were professional consequences for this kind of online behavior.
