If you scan 1,000,000 pictures (with let's say 10 CSAM), you'll have 100 false positives and 10 true positives, giving you like only 10% correct results

Re:I used Claude Code to get a second opinion on my MRI on Sunday June 28, 2026 @02:14PM (#48709901)
Where are getting that from?

All I can find is about 1st gen antihistamines (i.e. Benadryl, which I doubt many people take daily, because of the drowsiness).

Even for those, evidence seems to be mixed at best. "Huge increases" seems like hyperbole.

Fair point, but translating to C is almost cheating ;)
Re:Digital Printing of Arabic: explaining the problem on Saturday June 20, 2026 @06:10AM (#48608011)
Because pretty much no language besides Latin actually maps nicely to the Latin script. Pretty much all languages use digraphs, diacritic symbols or completely new letters in the Latin script (even English, œ and æ, for some time at least).

This has pretty much already happened for the older style of German cursive, called Kurrent. Partly also because the Nazis got rid of it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurrent

Tons of old documents written in it, basically impossible to decipher for anyone that only learned to write "modern" cursive or even print.

Yeah I didn't mean it as praise for Java (SE, ME, or whatever), but I don't think you're better off finding embedded WebAssembly jobs
Embedded systems? Like sim cards? There's even real time Java, I think they used it for some missile guidance stuff aswell at some point

Re:Faking keyword arguments to functions in C++ on Friday June 12, 2026 @12:32AM (#48499951)
And I suppose Lisp started that with :key args
At these latitudes they just get almost none naturally, that's why you need to supplement more

But also one of the recommended ways of doing it, as it has no native Datetime type.
Did that have any real-world effects/benefits?

I think you could build most Linux desktops with RT enabled, but I don't think you'd gain anything UX related

Re:Zig ELF Linker Improvements Devlog on Sunday May 31, 2026 @05:58AM (#48344383)
I mean Nim just compiles to C or C++, so it's bound to be slower
No it would stay at pretty much 100% (as is normal). But co2 goes down, which lessens the ability of oxygen to come out of the blood. That's why you get dizzy when hyperventilating
Re:OpenBSD 7.9 on Tuesday May 19, 2026 @02:07PM (#48196936)
Trackpad? I've had OpenBSD on ~6 laptops, old and new, but the trackpad always worked fine
Re:C++26 Shipped a SIMD Library Nobody Asked For on Sunday May 17, 2026 @02:41AM (#48166565)
Who says these are the same people?
Also Siemens/Infineon. Although that's a vastly different node size, but still, there's some expertise present
I mean it's still C++ that's compiled and executed, surely the compiler would be able to provide a way to hook into that?

Did anyone look into whether OpenBSD has privilege separated sshd enough for that exploit to not be possible?

That's not at all what OP is talking about.
Re:Heat pump sales rise across Europe on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @12:31AM (#48032185)
Sorry, I actually meant air-water vs. water-water for my comment, makes less sense this way...
Re:Heat pump sales rise across Europe on Monday May 04, 2026 @03:19PM (#48013632)
Yeah, recently saw some numbers for air-to-air vs air-to-groundwater, and it break even after more than 25 years, with more than twice the initial cost
To be pedantic, not German, rather words of Germanic origin (or just native Old English words)
So basically tests?
Re:A Gopher Meets a Crab on Saturday May 02, 2026 @06:34AM (#47985154)
std::expected and the utility functions for it (and_then(), or_else()) are pretty much the same, though? Or am I completely misunderstanding something?

Why? A wash at 90°C pretty much sterilizes them?

I haven't checked but surely you can only check those out if you need them?
