SQLite's Durability Settings Are a Mess

news.ycombinator.com Andrew Ayer 2025-10-26 10:30:29

One of the most important properties of a database is durability. Durability means that after a transaction commits, you can be confident that, absent catastrophic hardware failure, the changes made by the commit won't be lost. This should remain true even if the operating system crashes or the system loses power soon after the commit. On Linux, and most other Unix operating systems, durability is ensured by calling the fsync system call at the right time. Durability comes at a performance cost

Nvidia CEO Says AI Will Actually Make Us Busier in the Future

Elon Musk recently insisted that our robot-filled future will allow humans to collect free money for doing nothing, while bots do all the labor. But Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang doesn’t seem to be buying that narrative.

Influencers Will Have to Complete a Long Walk to See ‘The Long Walk’

The rules of The Long Walk are simple. Participants must walk at a minimum of three miles per hour until only one remains. Dip below that, and you get a warning. Three warnings, and you’re out. So, basically, it’s walk or die. The concept makes for a very tense, emotional film, which hits theaters September 12. And now, a group of influencers will do their best to complete the same task.

Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-26 11:42:13

Earlier this month, EA announced that players in its Battlefield 6 open beta on PC would have to enable Secure Boot in their Windows OS and BIOS settings. That decision proved controversial among players who weren't able to get the finicky low-level security setting working on their machines and others who were unwilling to allow EA's anti-cheat tools to once again have kernel-level access to their systems.

Contrastive Representations for Temporal Reasoning

In classical AI, perception relies on learning spatial representations, while planning—temporal reasoning over action sequences—is typically achieved through search. We study whether such reasoning can instead emerge from representations that capture both spatial and temporal structure. We show that standard temporal contrastive learning, despite its popularity, often fails to capture temporal structure, due to reliance on spurious features.
