free-list-based pools have an weird property people don't talk... about - at some point the slot allocation pattern becomes almost random. But there are alternative approaches, which don't use free lists at all. Lately I've been using a multi-level bit pool:show more

omg Jimmy Kimmel just called out CBS at the... Oscars and got a HUGE applause from the audience "As you know, there are some countries whose leaders don't support free speech. I'm not at liberty to say which. Let's just leave it at North Korea and CBS."show more

I don’t eat at Steak ‘n Shake very often... (their transparency and ownership have always been a little weird to me), but a new controversy I just read about is pretty silly. During remodels, they may add a QR code scanner for soft drink refills. Basically, you scan proof of purchase so people can’t just order water and then help themselves to unlimited soda. Some folks are now boycotting because they have to scan their receipt each time. I think it’s a smart move that helps keep people honest. The entitlement is wild, people are genuinely mad about scanning a code for a free refill? Go to almost any other country where free refills barely exist (if at all) and they’d be begging for this system. 😂🥤show more

Anthony Volpe has a few new fans out there,... out of spite for all of the Jose Cabellero chatter this year. Cabby just booted a ball and hasn't been great — especially lately — but that doesn't change the fact that Volpe's time with the Yankees should be over at this point. They're lucky the White Sox are just an AL Central mirage because this could have been bad.show more

Hi guys, how are you?🌟 I finally posted the... video of the unboxing of the fans' gifts on Youtube, I'll leave you the link here.. click and open, so you'll see how much I'm cring, because I'm a boomer and I don't know how to use social media well but I'm trying my best for you. Via amo🌈🙈!!! Bye ⬇️ P.s. The gifts are not all because it would have been impossible to open them all in a video, but I chose some at random🙏🏼.. #zeudinersshow more

DeepSeek R1 is *the* best model available right now.... It's at the level of o1, but you can use it for free, and it's much faster. A huge leap forward that nobody saw coming. No wonder so many people are throwing tantrums online trying to discredit the Chinese students who built this. You can use DeepSeek in Visual Studio Code right now: 1. Install the Qodo Gen AI extension 2. Select DeepSeek R1 from their list of models The Qodo team is hosting DeepSeek on their servers, so none of your data will go to China. I've been building a Tetris game using DeepSeek, and this is the most impressive model I've seen so far.show more

1. Coding With a basic course from free code... camp and some AI tools you can start applying for and working gigs on Upwork. Then use ChatGPT + CoPilot + Stack Overflow AI to do most of the work for you. There are people working 5 coding jobs remotely at the same time using AI.show more

I’ll be right there… I’m new at this! One... of the most amazing things about being a parent is that there are new and special moments at every stage of development (right into adolescence and adulthood). But what a special time it is when babies emerge into toddlerhood - developing motor and language skills all at once. This little one, shared to IG by jamesandersonw10, is hitting these developmental milestones right and left, taking some of her first tentative steps while using language (which sounds very much like “coming!” - but could well be an effort to mimic dad’s “come on”), to cheer herself on. Talk about putting it all together! 🧩show more

"I am a free bird in water. I can... move my entire body inside water, thanks to zero gravity. But my wheelchair keeps me caged on land." Geetha Kannan (42) is a wheelchaired person who LOVES swimming independently. Look at her swimming in the Nehru Stadium pool (video 1). She describes how she began doing exercises in water (hydrotherapy), & slowly began swimming 6 months ago. Now, she has bagged three gold medals in a state-level swimming competition in March. (Video 2) But she travels for 1.5 hours from Tambaram to Nehru Stadium every day for her two-hour swim, because #Chennai has barely two accessible pools out of seven public pools. There are around 1.5 lakh people with disabilities in the city and only 150 are trained in swimming lately. There are three Paralympic swimming gold medallists from the city, including Geetha. Not much money or efforts are needed to make a pool accessible. Ramps, tactile flooring, seating lifts, spacious toilets. Despite courts insisting on making every building accessible to all people, many spaces are not yet accessible, including pools, where disabled can feel 'abled'. "If there are more accessible swimming pools, more golds, silvers and bronzes will come to our city from many PwDs," said Geetha.show more

Why most traders don't understand anything about 5-min and... 15-min markets Until yesterday, delay arbitrage worked, not real trading After turning it off, a bunch of "free" profit disappeared Example: The market is trading at 0.80 but they are still buying at 0.60 That's what disappeared, now you immediately see the current price It all came to the point that now the best decision wins, not the fastest clickshow more

Here is the play folks are asking about, and... I don't see an error here. Triolo doesn't make an attempt at the runner going to second, so it cannot be a fielder's choice, and the struggle to get the ball out of his glove isn't an error unless there is a complete loss of contact/bobble with air, and I don't see that either, and Happ then beat out the play at first. I don't see where the error is because Happ is on the base before the ball gets to first. There is an error for the advancements after the bad throw, but I have a single and not an assumed out here.show more

This week highlighted a real problem with free-speech in... the Welsh Parliament. When you have the Presiding Officer telling elected members they can't use language 'that has the potential to inflame debate', you don't have debate at all. Parliaments are exactly where difficult debates should be had, but these restrictive rules stifle such arguments, forcing Senedd Members to be silent on the issues that they were voted in for. Mark my words, Reform will always fight for free-speech. If that means some of us are kicked out of the Chamber for doing so, so be it.show more

Not relying on a LLM in your code editor?... That doesn't make you smarter. All the opposite actually. You're actively refusing to increase your productivity and buy your time back for the sake of outdated habits. Because at the very least, a LLM helps you write tons of boilerplate/mundane code. If you don't want to pay, there are free alternatives to GitHub Copilot. You have no excuse. Don't be that grumpy developer who thinks being negative about trendy tech is cool.show more

Eagles Offense All22 thread vs. Bucs. 1) It wasn't... perfect all game, but I think we have now reached the point with Hurts where I don't fear the blitz at all. The progression this year has been obvious. He is fine with free rushers in his face and will stand and deliver. This was a big 3rd down conversion on the 1st drive. It's another area of his game where he has made significant improvements.show more

People argue endlessly about whether prison exists to rehabilitate,... punish, or simply lock dangerous people away from society. But the news keeps showing us cases where none of those answers work. Some people are evil enough that they don’t deserve rehabilitation. They don’t deserve punishment as our prisons deliver it. And locking them up at public expense for decades still feels like a failure of justice. Maybe we should bring back some options we’ve been too squeamish to use. But unfortunately, we’re at a point where we’re not even sure if some activist judge will let such people walk.show more

Anthropic is giving away free Claude certifications - and... I don't know why more people aren't taking advantage. If I knew nothing about AI and wanted to become AI-native in 30 days, this is what I'd do: < sign up for free Anthropic courses < use Claude to study pre-exam < once certified, extract the course content to a Claude project < prompt Claude: "Based on this course, build me a 201 version and some real hands-on exams to test my knowledge." < Complete 201 < Rinse and repeat There isn't a faster way to learn AI right now (+ this is 100% free).show more

Hi Megyn Kelly. We've met in lovely circumstances a... couple of times and I don't think you are an antisemite, but your comment that: "I don't think [Tucker] is an antisemite at all, but I don't really care [because he is an important voice in the national conversation]" for the very first time sent chills down my spine. I've been in touch with your team back and forth for months. Would you please consider having me on to have a civil, courteous discussion about all of this and to hear and consider platforming another view from someone who admires and respects you immensely? The conversation IS as important as you say and you can platform whoever you want. But would you please consider having another view on about it with someone who likes you and is the grandchild of four holocaust survivors? Thank you, Jeff Laxshow more

A student built a real anti-gravity machine… using an... Arduino. How to Make an Acoustic Levitator: Arduino Nano + motor driver + about 60 ultrasonic transducers. They all emit ~40 kHz sound. The sound waves meet and form fixed pockets in the air. Tiny bits of styrofoam get stuck in those pockets and just hang there. If you put your hand in, the pattern breaks and they fall. Same principle labs use to move droplets or samples without touching them.
