People often point to the terrible things in the world as evidence we're living in "the worst timeline". What examples are there of things that suggest our timeline is actually better than it seems? in c/[email protected]

Multiple process or threads? And, why? (programming.dev)
 

(For context, I'm basically referring to Python 3.12 "multiprocessing.Pool Vs. concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor"...)

Today I read that multiple cores (parallelism) help in CPU bound operations. Meanwhile, multiple threads (concurrency) is due when the tasks are I/O bound.

Is this correct? Anyone cares to elaborate for me?

At least from a theorethical standpoint. Of course, many real work has a mix of both, and I'd better start with profiling where the bottlenecks really are.

If serves of anything having a concrete "algorithm". Let's say, I have a function that applies a map-reduce strategy reading data chunks from a file on disk, and I'm computing some averages from these data, and saving to a new file.

Not to flame you, but really just an HTML form was all you needed? It's a super simple feature...

I'm attracted to it because of the posix backend. Did anyone try it? Is it stable?

Imagine setting up a bundle of internet router (using 4G Lte) with smoke alarms every ~10 km (6 miles). They have solar panels, waterproofing, and should last 10 years up and running.

That's all there's to it in the article. Actually, at the bottom they had a nice summary... I only read it after writing this here.. Heh.

Those locks are kinda optional. And luggage is way less important than all of one's communication ; imho.

Abolish marriage, too? Sure. But let the silly joke bring some joy to our miserable lives, pls.

Edit: I upvotes all your posts, but I still think that saying the joke promotes sexual harassment is stretching the concept

We have internet now, no need to change clocks

Precisely. We have computers, phones, etc. And smarwatches. All of these change to DST automatically. It would be some (bigger) effort not to abide by it. And a painful one btw. "Imagine going to work 1 hour earlier" ;P

Leave that network behind. It's the fox news of social networks, with bots instead of the elite opinionators ;p it will only rot your brain. Come, let's remember we are humans

Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code (cyberinsider.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/22527376

Rockstar Games' servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking backlash from a segment of the player base. Protesters, unhappy with the new system, have resorted to using distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to disrupt the servers, escalating tensions between the gaming giant and its community.

[Research Article] Durably reducing conspiracy beliefs through dialogues with AI (www.science.org)
 

Fig. 1 gives an example of a conversation where the user goes from 100% belief down to 40% after getting their questions explained by the AI.

Looking at the conclusions, the impact is not so big for all the interactions.

Anyway, this is a great tool. Sure, when people are doomscrolling 24/7 they’re not fact-checking. So, the intervention might not be there. Yet, I choose to remain optimistic. More recent generations might get easier access and be better than our current trend :)
