Draft expert thinks unheralded Western Michigan DE is a steal for Cowboys
Dallas fans may have scratched their heads when the Cowboys selected Western Michigan defensive end Marshawn Kneeland with the 56th overall pick, but some think he's a potential steal. In a column assessing each team's draft class, The Athletic's Dane Brugler tabbed Kneeland as his favorite pick for the Cowboys. (He ranked the 22-year-old as his 32nd-best prospect.) "Kneeland is an impressive athlete at 270 pounds and rushes with balance and heavy hands," wrote Brugler. "Pass-rusher was an und…

Does anybody else wish libc had an optimized "memcpy with no destination increment" routine?
In other words, for(int i=0; i<len; i ) sfr = data[i];
But optimized with loop unrolling, using full-width bus transactions rather than only doing one byte per iteration as much as possible, etc.
It's something I write all the time in embedded but I always feel like it can probably be done more efficiently and should really just be done once and librarized.

MaxCUCL: Max-Consensus with Deterministic Convergence in Networks with Unreliable Communication
In this paper, we present a novel distributed algorithm (herein called MaxCUCL) designed to guarantee that max-consensus is reached in networks characterized by unreliable communication links (i.e., links suffering from packet drops). Our proposed algorithm is the first algorithm that achieves max-consensus in a deterministic manner (i.e., nodes always calculate the maximum of their states regardless of the nature of the probability distribution of the packet drops). Furthermore, it allows node…

the capitialist paperclip maximizer recruitment funnel:
It isn't weird that it happens. It's weird how consistently it happens and how consistent the replies are despite coming from unrelated friends. None of them take my actual context into consideration. It's like we've all internalized an Amway recruitment script without realizing it.

I remember c|net as a standard-bearer of tech journalism back in the 1990s. Theirs was one of the few bookmarks I opened regularly to read about tech news.
Red Ventures has destroyed its reputation, along with all their other properties’ like ZDNet (the other fantastic tech news site). RV’s decisive pivot to AI is likely fatal; they will accelerate the descent of all their outlets into a content swill mill fit only for your blocklist.

Wikipedia No Longer Considers CNET a "Generally Reliable" Source After AI Scandal
Conversations between Wikipedia editors following CNET's AI scandal reflect the reputational hazards of AI content and dubious ownership.
