Probably not that important in practice. Firefox allows 2^20 - 4 and Chrome allows 2100000 characters. Also, 8000 characters already allows for an unreasonable amount of SQL and could be extended even further with compression. And if that should not be enough, you can export it as JSON. All in all, this seems like a worthwhile tradeoff for not having to store anything.
Windows has had a lot more named high-CVEs than that: MonikerLink, QueueJumper, Certifried, HiveNightmare...
As for "Linux", you'd need to specify the distro and environment, because Linux systems can be very different from one another. Your XZ example for instance didn't even affect most enterprise distros (like RHEL). regreSSHion didn't affect any musl libc distros like Alpine, but other systems would've also been unaffected had you set your LoginGraceTime to 0, which any sysadmin worth their salt would've done so. Leaky Vessels fails on SELinux enforcing distros (RHEL, Fedora etc) and sandboxed environments. I could go on, but you get the picture. Comparing the number of "Linux" vulnerabilities to Windows is completely pointless.
CHON are also very common in the universe. Most proposed alternatives (not all) depend on things less common. This doesn't rule them out but it makes the odds worse.
Radio communications between tween solar systems require more energy than we have. We couldn't detect earth level civilizations in the nearest solar system (which probably doesn't have earth like life) even if both of us by chance aimed at each other at the correct time.
Nobody cared if you translated using Google Translate in the past. People don't care if you use claude to translate now. But people are clearly doing more than they claim when they just translate their text, since their "translations" end up full of AI-isms.
Agreed. I think the code examples in the article could do with showing before and after states of the branch or repo and maybe compare with standard git commands.
Even then I don't think the abstraction to HTTP verbs is necessarily a useful one as web requests and version control are two different mental models.
I'm actually doing a big refactoring in a project where if everything gets loaded (code / docs), the context gets like 750k filled (Opus 4.8), and then the agent has the remaining ~200k to do actual coding, until I have to reset. I haven't finished the work but I'm like 80% there, and it seems the progress is good and the quality is also good, verified by doing some performance tests and a lot of comparisons between outputs between the original code and the new one.
Maybe I could achieve better and quicker results with keeping the context in the proper zone, but trying it will have to wait until the next project.
In most countries people use bicycles as some form of leisure travel but Dutch cycling is a need for speed!
Tourist tip if you are ever in Amsterdam: check the ferry next to the train station during rush hour. It is the equivalent of Shibuya crossing only for cyclists. Pure madness but somehow it all works like clockwork.
Jetbrains gives away for free infinity years of a $180+ per year subscription (its more expensive in the first year or for orgs)[1] for open source authors, students, and more. Sure, the per-month price tag is not as high but after year 4 you saved much more.
There is a reason such shows are labeled "copaganda" - it affect people's perception of police and their procedures. It makes the dubious seem less dubious and more believable. I very highly doubt any jury is made aware of the rate of error or unreliability of the this stuff.
Of course, you and I know that. But most people just listen to the marketing material.
My mother's most used feature on her phone is the camera.
She asked me about getting a new phone when she has a perfectly working Samsung flagship phone from 3 years ago. The marketing says "The S26 camera is _SOOOO_ much better". But, really, it's exactly the same sensors as the S23.
None of that justifies rape and torture. None of it makes Gaza remotely similar to the Warsaw Ghetto.
Why do you not apply the same logic to Israel? The occupied territories were occupied as part of a long running conflict with people who wanted to wipe out Israel.
The problem with your argument is that you end up justifying pretty much everything that is part of any long running conflict or where there has been a history of oppression. If you apply the same standards evenly you will end up justifying almost all terrorists, many genocides, war crimes, etc.
> There's actually no evidence they knew that. The Nazis went to great lengths to deceive such populations that they were being resettled.
The uprising happened after they realised what was happening. There was no armed resistance until the realised:
> That's how state violence works. It makes things illegal. There was a time when slavery was legal. Does that make opposing it wrong? Apartheid in South Africa was legal. Apartheid in Israel is "legal".
It is sometimes right to break the law. Your claim that the UK is "locking up grandmothers indefinitely for holding up signs" is verifiably false (you cite an article that says "12 hours", which is not indefinitely) and lacks context. The UK is not remotely like apartheid South Africa.
Sorry, splitting up does not work for China, geographically and culturally. Peaceful and prosperous times only come when there's a strong central government. If any current government advocates for splitting up, then they'll be toppled in no time and replaced with new guys, maybe even warlords, who strive for a united China. "The land, long divided, must unite. The land, long united, must divide."
Obviously sometimes saying no is a problem. But, the user I responded to, and you to a degree, seemed to, intentionally or not, use this "sometimes" as a lever for "anytime". To be clear, my original criticism is meant for NikolaNovak and his unwillingness to sell something to a friend at a slight discount. They initially say "slightly less" but later say "20%", I'm unsure which is the real number, obviously the perceived value of a high percentage discount does not scale as linearly.
You replied, saying "Declining to give you $600 out of the blue because you'd rather have more money is not being indifferent," and so I responded to this and your earlier comment, "If you ask your friend for $100 for no particular reason, just because you want $100, that's an annoying request and "no" is a reasonable response," because I disagree with it as framed.
Since then, you have widened that argument to give it more support, and we can now both certainly agree that there's nothing wrong with saying no to a request for money/gifts from a friend. And we can agree it would be annoying for a friend to constantly ask that, or even to ask a single time in certain contexts without sufficient social capital.
I understand your intended meaning might be different than how it came across to me, and said, "If this isn't your intent, you should reflect on how you've presented your argument."
I mean no ill intent and don't want this to devolve into an actual argument, so it's probably best we wind it down. If I came across as judgemental, I apologize, for my part I was attempting to offer a more generous perspective on what friendship can mean to different people.
Despite the general consensus, I disagree with the idea that you can explain consciousness in an entirely physical way.
That’s because consciousness allows an object to experience its wholeness, but there is no physical explanation as to what makes an object ‘whole’, for example smooshing two brains together doesn’t result in a single consciousness any more than cutting a brain in half results in two. Yet, the same action by another mechanism (reproduction) does create a new consciousness.
Your suggestion would completely kill e-bikes, I don't think that is a good idea. Above a certain speed limit they should need to ride on the regular road though.
On a regular e-bike you don't get up to 25km/h without putting in the effort. If their mental capacities are that far gone, they won't be able to go that fast anyway. They'll top out at 20km/h or something.
The observable Universe is very small. For purposes of life living on a planet it is only our solar system. Even if we allow some planet sized life form, we don't get enough information from planets to detect that
My private next.js fullstack slop runs dockerized on my kubernetes cluster and for auth I use auth0, because I am too lazy to run keycloak or whatever dockerized auth slop is currently en vogue.
