Yeah, about the same with cax in 29 palms.

Damn that sucks. I have a chain lock but it only loops through the frame and front wheel. I use a shitty old cable with it to loop through the back tire and my pannier strap if I’m leaving it on the bike. I do this because I’ve had a wheel jacked before also, it fucking sucks.

I mean google says it’s a fashion and style blog, so I don’t think anyone is under the impression this blog site publishes news per se, or is anything more than a gussied up marketing channel.

Very appreciated, in hindsight that makes much more sense, especially because I’ve never heard of this news outlet before in my life.

I even saw san(.)org in the subtitle of this post, thought it said sans given the context of the post, then specifically looked at the outlet name because it was obviously not a SANS blog post and I didn’t recognize the front end UI at all. That’s on me.

Thank you for that context. I was really confused on why a Trump donor would be running a new DNM, and even more confused as to how a new DNM with a known owner could be operational for more than a few minutes.

What new company?

That Nikka whisky is great! I bought a bottle the day after the last US election, killed it in 2 days, and was like shit that was way too much money to kill that fast lol.

Ok, thanks for that clarification. I guess I’m a bit confused as to why a comparison is being drawn between neurons in a neural network and neurons in a biological brain though.

In a neural network, the neuron receives an input, performs a mathematical formula, and returns an output right?

Like you said we have no understanding of what exactly a neuron in the brain is actually doing when it’s fired, and that’s not considering the chemical component of the brain.

I understand why terminology was reused when experts were designing an architecture that was meant to replicate the architecture of the brain. Unfortunately, I feel like that reuse of terminology is making it harder for laypeople to understand what a neural network is and what it is not now that those networks are a part of the zeitgeist thanks to the explosion of LLM’s and stuff.

It’s true that one is based on continuous floats and the other is dynamic peaks

Can you please explain what you’re trying to say here?

I work on a computer at a desk all day. I’m do penetration testing and red team operations, so I spend a fuck ton of time doing training and development courses and labs which usually just involve typing a bunch of shit into a terminal window, both during work and on my own time (I genuinely enjoy it, it’s not a shitty workplace colonizing my off time situation), and I’ve played games my entire life.

Idk I’ve never had this problem. Screens recharge me, it’s people that drain me. I’d have the same flipped question for product vendors that are always at conferences and stuff, or business insurance sales people, just wondering how they get through all these small talk conversations, sales calls, dinners with clients, etc., without a chance to just sit behind a screen and answer people at whatever pace they need.

Oh. I have a variable height desk I got from DeskHaus. I love it. I’m standing a fair amount of the time I’m working. I have a decent SteelCase chair I bought during the beginning of covid. I got it from a refurb reseller, but even brand new it’s not their nicest chair, but it’s expensive enough and holding up well enough that I don’t see a reason to replace it yet. Standing through the workday helps me not feel exhausted and tired of sitting in the same chair for 12 hours since I haven’t been.

🍆 💦

No. You can have control over specific parameters of an SQL query though. Look up insecure direct object reference vulnerabilities.

Consider a website that uses the following URL to access the customer account page, by retrieving information from the back-end database: https://insecure-website.com/customer_account?customer_number=132355 Here, the customer number is used directly as a record index in queries that are performed on the back-end database. If no other controls are in place, an attacker can simply modify the customer_number value, bypassing access controls to view the records of other customers.

Every German person I’ve ever met talks so confidently about shit that you just kinda assume they know what they’re talking about, until they start talking about a domain you’re an expert in and you realize they’re actually kinda dumb but with good vocabulary.

lol. You mean vba macros.

It’s wild to see Chrome going from the browser to use if you had any tech sense whatsoever to being universally derided.

Safari also has it built in. This person is just saying shit to say shit I guess.

Well then yeah they sound ridiculous.

Just to clarify, you can get plenty of directs to Tokyo from the East Coast. I know Dulles and Newark at least. They’re 16 hour flights, but that’s what an in flight g&t and a prescription for a fistful of bars are for.

Wait. So you knew you were applying to companies on ET, they said they wanted to set up an interview at some arbitrary time without specifying a time zone, and you just rolled with the assumption that it was PT instead of asking to clarify? That kind of feels like it’s on you. If I was living in ET, I applied to a job with a company located in SF, and I missed the interview bc I assumed it was ET instead of PT that would totally be on me.

I feel like I might get a ton of downvotes for this, but I kind of disagree. Maybe when it comes to things like texture detail, we certainly don’t need every single hair on Roach modeled with full physics or anything.

That’s only a subset of what constitutes graphics in a game though. I think that while it is computationally expensive, the improvements in lighting that we’re seeing contribute to making graphics more realistic and do matter.

I get that people meme on Ray Tracing and the whole RTX On thing, but lighting techniques like Path Tracing, Global Illumination, and Dynamic Illumination are just as much a generational shift as physics was in HL2. Output resolution and texture resolution got pushed to a point where any further gains are marginal improvements at best. Physics is getting to that point, although there’s still room for improvement. Look at how well the finals handles destruction physics, or the ballistics models used in Arma 3. Lighting is the next thing being refined, and it has a ways to go. I’d bet that in 10 years full, real time, dynamic, ray traced lighting will be taken for granted, and we’ll be arguing whether there’s any value or added realism benefit to increasing the number of individual rays cast by each light source, or how many bounces they take. I’d also not be surprised if people were memeing about RTX Sound On at that point and saying that game audio peaked with HRTF or Spatial Audio.
