You're describing ASI, not AGI.

They did some interesting wordsmithing here to cover their ass without saying it directly.

See, this is what happens when you turn off thinking completely.

How is it more helpful for debugging compared to just looking at the git patch? As far as I can tell, this is meant to be more of a cool presentation type thing, rather than something to assist with development

Not a realistic solution at all

I think you're misunderstanding. If you have an extremely large number like 2^256 you will almost certainly never find two people with the same birthday (this is why a SHA256 collision has never been found). That's what the top-level comment was comparing this to.

This was covered in my computer architecture class, which was mandatory for my CS degree.

Conspiracy theory: that explanation is a lie, and the real reason for the delay is that it helps hide the fact that there isn't a unique image mapped to each pixel. If you click two pixels very close together, it shows the same image, but slightly shifted to exactly match your pointer. If the images were displayed immediately, it would be much more obvious what's going on.

Completely and utterly off topic: why on earth does HN use a dim gray font for the post description? It's so hard to read. I understand why downvoted comments are grayed out but why the post description???

Correct. And we know the AI will read the docs whereas people usually ignore 99% of docs so it just feels like a bad use of time sometimes, unfortunately.

I love spreadsheets and use them a ton but I have to agree, creating charts is hard

With data intensive Go applications you eventually hit a point where your code has performance bottlenecks that you cannot fix without either requiring insane levels of knowledge on how Go works under the hood, or using CGo and incurring a high cost for each CGo call (last I heard it was something like 90ns), at which point you find yourself regretting you didn't write the program in Rust. If GC in Rust could be made ergonomic enough, I think it could be a better default choice than Go for writing a compiled app with high velocity. You could start off with an ergonomic GC style of Rust, then later drop into manual mode wherever you need performance.

cgroups aren't relevant here, I think. Not sure if that was just a typo, since you did mention namespaces in the first sentence. PID and user namespaces in particular are relevant here.

Engineers who are smart enough / talented enough, and who feel secure, can push back on security issues even if it will hold up a deal. This tells me that the most valuable engineers at Red Hat either do not push back enough on security concerns, or don't care enough (or aren't experienced enough) to know that the concerns exist in the first place, or they feel insecure in their position.

It's really nothing like being drunk, not to say that you should try it though.

SecureHyperTextShell (SHTS)

I meant this in jest but now that I think about it, it actually could be a decent name (?)

Doesn't /3 mean v3? I mean, for HTTP itself, doesn't the HTTP/3 == HTTPv3? If so, I don't see how this is any better than SSH3 - both SSH3 and SSH/3 read to me like "SSH v3"

Genuine question: why is `curl https://trusted-site.com | sh` a security risk?

Fundamentally, doesn't the security depend entirely on whether https is working properly? Even the standard package repos are relying on https right?

Like, I don't see how it's different than going to their website, copying their recommended command to install via a standard repo, then pasting that command into your shell. Either way, you are depending entirely on the legitimacy of their domain right?

> But why do you need serialization? Because the data structure on disk is not the same as in memory.

Not always - in browser applications for example, there is no way to directly access the disk, nevermind mmap().
