UK government's plan to scan all UK devices for nudity will not safeguard children but endanger everyone and strengthen tech giants' control. This proposal will lead to mass surveillance and censorship, expanding to target "threats" and "harmful content" beyond nudity.
Our 64-bit Intel and AMD processors have evolved over decades. When you compile a Go program for a 64-bit Intel or AMD processor, the compiler targets, by default, a nearly 20-year-old instruction set. The binary that comes out runs on essentially any x64 chip, but it also leaves on the table every instruction that was added since 2003. We often refer to microarchitecture levels. Each level ...

FrontierCode is a benchmark that measures AI models' ability to write high-quality, maintainable code by assessing end-to-end code quality, correctness, and mergeability. Current models struggle to meet this new standard, with even the best-performing model achieving only 13.4% on the most challenging tasks.
The author proposes a concept called Thinnernet, which aims to provide a predictable user experience across different internet speeds by minimizing data transfer and prioritizing essential data. This idea is inspired by Steve Jobs' focus on user experience and is seen as a necessary adaptation to the internet's current limitations and the need for a more energy-efficient way to access the web.

Dedicated to the Minnowbrook Analytic Reasoning Seminar with special thanks to Kris Micinski and Michael Ballantyne Suppose you want to write a database. You'd probably start by implementing relational algebra operators — projection, filter, join, etc. The easy way is to implement them as functions that take in tables and return tables, and assemble them into a larger expression. That was ...

The user discusses the ruliology of competition, specifically how finite state machines compete in games like match-or-not and prisoner's dilemma, and how adaptive evolution can lead to winning strategies. The user finds that winning machines are not necessarily more complex, and that machines with more states can systematically do better than those with fewer states, but the relationship ...
A federal judge blocked President Trump's $100,000 H1-B visa fee, saving hundreds of education jobs in Alaska. The ruling could help rural schools hire international teachers, who make up 50% of some districts' staff.
