Frivolous CVEs aren't a good thing for security. This bug was a possible DOS (not e.g. a privilege escalation) in a disabled-by-default experimental feature. It wasn't a security issue and should have been fixed with a patch instead of raising a false alarm and damaging trust.

Not that YAML's structure is too complicated, but its syntax is too flexible. All the shit about being whitespace sensitive yet with whitespace errors leading to a syntactically valid YAML document. TOML's syntax is rigid which makes it unsuitable for expressing complex nested data structures, which is good because that's not what you should use TOML for. Ultimately the dependence on a highly flexible baseline language like YAML to create complex DSLs is a failure on the developers' part, and the entire configuration system should be reworked.

You shouldn't need to disable display names just to combat the 0.01% of people with annoying names. NFKC normalization is a better solution.

That's where Northrend goes.

You shouldn't rename 2 at all. "Even" has a commonly understood meaning that is instantly recognizable from (variable %2) == 0. The bitmask is an overgeneralization.

I'm a professional software developer with ML experience, albeit not an expert in ML specifically. It would obviously affect the literal value of the embeddings, but there's no chance it would have a qualitative effect on a reasonably performant model.

No point really. The Nyquist sampling theorem says that 44.1kHz is overkill, much less 48kHz or anything beyond. You only need twice the sample rate of the highest frequency to be reproduced, and human hearing generally goes up to 20kHz (less for almost all adults). Accordingly, many production recording equipment won't even bother with frequencies approaching 20kHz. The only conceivable point is that you don't need to resample files in higher sample rates, which saves you a tiny bit of cpu time I guess.

The overlap between FOSS/Linux/Tech and Elon is ever-shrinking.

There are some rules about the kind of map this applies to. One of them is "no countries inside other countries."

If anything, the eternal September would have started when Reddit killed itself. I can't imagine people thinking it's starting now.

Should never have been a discussion. It can stay unrefrigerated until opened. Like so many other products. People really keep their sugary fruit paste open in the pantry?
