> It's an unikernel design that is compiled as a single EFI binary and does not use virtual address spaces for process isolation.

Are you able to quantify what kind of performance improvement to expect from such a design?

My understanding is that this can completely skip overhead of syscalls and TLB, but I have no idea of how much performance benefits can it result in practice.

> If illegal immigration is such a problem, why not fine businesses 5x salary for using the labor, for as long as it was used?

The Nazis leveraged hatred towards minorities as a wedge to force their totalitarian control over Germany's state and society. They built up a ficticious enemy within, they inflamed society against that enemy, and proceeded to promise they would eliminate that enemy if the were granted total control over everyone and everything.

It's no coincidence that Trump is targeting California to fabricate a crisis and rapidly escalate the issue he created himself, specially how he forced the unjustified and illegal deployment of national guard and the armed forces. The goal is clearly not illegal aliens standing next to Home Depots. The goal is to force a scenario where loyalists in the armed forces target any opposition. It's no coincidence Trump has been threatening the governor of California with prison for the crime of "running for elections" at the time he's announcing deploying armed forces in California without authorization or legal standing and against the will of the governor of California.

I need to develop more intuition and maturity to understand a few relatively math-heavy engineering methods and ML/DL papers. Would you have any recommendations for not very bright college students? Perhaps something similar to Calculus Made Easy? Also, have you ever taught math using software like Mathematica or SageMath? (I graduated from college a long while ago and don't really have the bandwidth to solve problem sets by hand. I never enjoyed it or learned much from it.)

Depends on the server. Probably not going to be cost effective. I get barely ~0.5 tokens/sec.

I have Dual E5-2699A v4 w/1.5 TB DDR4-2933 spread across 2 sockets.

The full Deepseek-R1 671B (~1.4 TB) with llama.cpp seems to have a in that local engines that run the LLMs don't do NUMA aware allocation, so cores will often have to pull the weights in from another socket's memory controllers through the inter-socket links (QPI/UPI/Hypertransport) and bottleneck there.

For my platform that's 2x QPI links @ ~39.2GB/s/link that get saturated.

I give it a prompt, go to work and check back on it at lunch and sometimes it's still going.

If you're going to want to achieve interactively I'd aim for 7-10 tokens/s, so realistically it means you'll run one of the 8b models on a GPU (~30 tokens/s) or maybe a 70b model on an M4 Max (~8 tokens/s).

By saving you are in fact betting on your ability to threaten young people with material deprivation to force them to take care of you.

You could make a different bet, e.g. invest into whatever infrastructure they'll need to take care of aging population. But your savings fund likely invests in luxuries for aging big spenders, so...

I am rather curious how this plays out long-term, since there is no investment instrument for "please build train / underground closer to my house".

> Reversing such steep declines isn't possible in one generation without a "Marshall plan" for fertility

"Reversal" isn't possible with our without Marshall plan. What you need is young females and what you have is aging population, no amount of money or political will can change that. Even if we (I'm in Europe) manage to get out of decline, the recovery will take several generations which means a century of time.

South Korea is screwed way beyond repair by my estimates.

serious question: are Countries such as Italy, France etc not a democracy?

All of them are, verbatim from wikipedia, "a military force with law enforcement duties among the civilian population.". Ditto for spain Guardia Civil, and many of the countries listed in that same wiki page: Algeria, Netherlands, Poland, Argentina, Romania, Turkey, Ukraine, Chile, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, ...

Are we watching the same things? It would seem they are. I see videos of LA police shooting reporters (with less than lethal but from a lethal distance) and swarms of cops ignoring 3 mounted officers attempting to trample a guy on the ground. Tons of arrests already. LA police are plenty capable of escalating things all on their own. They arrested a solid 1/4 of the protesters last night and will keep right on doing that, I'm sure.

> Was it ahead? I am not sure.

You say this, but then proceed to state that it had a very good design back then informed by research, and still is today. Doesn't that qualify? :-)

NT brought a HAL, proper multi-user ACLs, subsystems in user mode (that alone is amazing, even though they sadly never really gained momentum), preemptive multitasking. And then there's NTFS, with journaling, alternate streams, and shadow copies, and heaps more. A lot of it was very much ahead of UNIX at the time.

> nobody else cares about core OS design anymore.

Agree with you on that one.

This is true, but leading up to the vaccine, he embraced every stupid conspiracy, related to COVID and before. Remember the bleach and sunshine press conference? A better leader who actually tried to understand the science at a basic level when they have their choice of incredible experts would have been better at communicating to the public from the beginning. He let the horse out of the barn, and that's famously hard to undo.

I am ux designer and forever Mac user. I also try Fedora on random stuff. I am not sure why but last time tried it i got Blender circa 10 years ago vibes from desktop linux gnome.

Everybody has been making fun of Blender forever but they consistently made things better step by step and suddenly few UX enhancements the wind started shift. It completely flipped and now everybody is using it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if desktop Linux days are still ahead. It’s not only Valve and gaming. Many things seems start to work in tandem. Wayland, Pipewire, Flatpack, atomic distros… hey even Gnome is starting to look pretty.

I’m a generally pro-Tree person but I do caution against this gung-ho sentiment because it tends to lead people down the path of 1) seeing a forest as just the trees and 2) seeing it as a single species of tree, because that’s how you get monocultures, and the lack of biological diversity in monocultures threatens the entire fake forest you worked so hard to plant.

So, plant trees, yeah, but smartly, in areas protected from animals initially that will eat the saplings and grow more than one kind and introducing other vegetation over time. All of the extra complexity will slow the work down and get people questioning you about why it’s taking so long to get a forest, but at least you’ll get something resembling a forest that will be able to sustain itself without human intervention long after we’re dead.

Because it is an extremely futile exercise.

I have a bug in my Honor (200 pro) phone were after some time, whatsapp's notifications with no sounds are changed by the SO automatically to Gentle Notification (no popup, only number on icon) I want to have a popup, but without sound. I might have reported several times, well, they have not done anything about it.

I also reported something to Lutris just to be told, not our problem wont fix. which is the same feeling of, why have I bother doing this.

And after a few of those, if you have a bug, you moved on. In this case I regret going with Honor instead of Samsung, and it would be likely the last Honor phone I got and I do not recommend to anybody. And with Lutris, I would rather use windows and be able to see my screen instead of a black box when logging into epic.

If you don't fix the bug, the user will stop reporting, and will find a workaround.

Fauci also lied about herd immunity estimates to increase vaccination rates.

> When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent ... Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, "I can nudge this up a bit," so I went to 80, 85. We need to have some humility here .... We really don’t know what the real number is. I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But, I'm not going to say 90 percent.

The intention doesn't really matter; you can't admit to lying for policy purposes, then wonder why people stopped trusting the government.

A couple of years ago I played PUBG which crashed occasionally. I rarely submitted bugs, even if it was as simple as pressing a button in the crash reporter. This is because sending the bug report took a while and blocked you from restarting and rejoining the ongoing game. This applies mostly to multiplayer games but if your app has a crash reporter, give the user a chance to restart the app and report the bug later.

> What's astonishing is using what is essentially an entertainer for high level strategy.

I think this makes it even scarier. This means the goal is clearly not establishing sound policy, but to output propaganda that is designed to be easily consumed by TV audiences. It is beyond reality because it is not designed to make sense, it is designed to make sense to TV consumers by feeding on the context they get from their TV tropes. The Mexicans hanging around in Home Depots is a TV cliche that's recognized by people living wel beyond any Home Depot.

> serious question: are Countries such as Italy, France etc not a democracy?

They are, but not in the the "framework of US constitutional democracy." A system for which we have more evidence of stability than either of Italy or France's modern republics. (Note, too, les gendarmes' heritage: imperial France. Also, gendarmes aren't usually deployed overseas. They are, in a sense, more similar to the FBI than the U.S. Marines.)

Not agreeing with either side here, but, printing money and handing it to an investment class who then launders it through their companies, to acquire more assets vs printing money that goes into infrastructure, works projects, or R&D are wildly different.

Not all monetary inflation is the same, and the destination of the money and the work produced with it can actually have quite an impact on the true wider economic effects of that increased money supply.

To be very clear, I'm not saying monetary policy is magical, or that it doesn't cause inflation.

It has very little to do with "things you like" and a lot more to do with "utility to society accomplished with the policy" along with the velocity of that money afterwards in local economies (IE. a worker is more likely to buy, well, food and rent, education. A PPP loaned exec will buy assets, or another yacht)

Believe it or not, one of those can generate more widespread economic growth than the other, for the same amount of money printed

If Apple is committed to containers on MacOS, it makes sense to use their implementation over a third party. They know their own platform more intimately, can push for required kernel changes internally if necessary, and will provide this feature free of charge since it's in their own interest to do so—as apparent from the fact the source is published on GitHub, under Apache.

As opposed to that, there's OrbStack, a venture-backed closed source application thriving off of user licenses, developed by a small team. As empathetic as I am with them, I know where I bet my money on in this race.

Self-coups are a thing, and the best person to subvert a democracy is one who already wields considerable power within one. History is replit, unless you're doing the no-true-scottsman shuffle on the topic of democracy - if so, carry on.

Your effort to overstate might have derailed your own reality.

Don't know about you, but I could never throw a brick at anyone. I couldn't and wouldn't put a mask on and head out with the intent to burn cars, throw rocks, loot, and cause criminal damage. That is the opposite of "largely peaceful."

The LAPD chief stated it's "out of control." Your attempt to imply tear gas was used on peaceful protesters doesn't fit the evidence. Many of the rioters are highly organised with supply runs of masks, fireworks and projectiles. I'm not sure what your agenda is but "accuracy" doesn't seem to be it.

This rule is actually desired by most (non-startups) businesses, software being an investment over a long run it makes sense to amortize the cost over several years.

It is indeed detrimental to startups though, as they can end up paying taxes even when not profitable and when cash is the key issue (which isn't the case that much for most businesses).

> The issue however that prompted the protests was the way they are pursuing deportations with militarized tactics, brutality, and snatching people off the streets as abductions.

Also that they’re going after many people who are actually attempting to comply with the law, because those are the easiest to find. Meanwhile tens of millions of undocumented immigrants are still here, and the lesson they’re being taught is don’t trust the legal process, stay under the radar. In the end the Trump administration is unlikely to make a large dent in the undocumented population - they certainly haven’t so far. It’s mostly theater. They’ll just end up discovering how unintended consequences work.

I'd say in that case they don't have the desire. They may want children all else being equal, but they don't want to put in what it would cost them to have children. Otherwise they would.

It is a core tenant for criminal trials, not the civil proceedings of immigration. Instead, lower standards, including probable cause for detainment, or a "preponderance of the evidence" standard for the immigration proceedings is sufficient. That is and has been the American standard.

Legal immigrants to America for over a century accepted and complied with these legal processes, many of which were even more burdensome or discriminatory (quotas, Chinese Exclusion Act, Immigration Act of 1924, etc).

It's unamerican to undermine a core tenant of the US's national sovereignty: the "sovereign right of States to determine their national migration policy", by arguing that unregulated, irregular migration is the norm and that any action to enforce immigration law is unthinkable.

Apple has about 25% of the global marketshare for smartwatches: https://www.counterpointresearch.com/insights/global-smartwa... They are the _largest_ supplier, but they certainly don't outsell everyone combined.

It also took Apple about 4 years to find the actual use-case for the Apple Watch: health tracking and payments.

Most of the time on the backend is spent waiting for network requests to complete. With LLMs, the inference cost is even longer. You don't need much compute.

With dynamic languages like Python or TS/JS, you lose money in hardware cost, but you gain 10 fold in not having to pay your developers as much because everything gets done faster.

Strong typing is also not a guarantee of correctness. In fact, anything but fully strict dependently typed language is a waste of time honestly. Because with the former, you only write code, and if your program compiles, its guaranteed to be 100% correct, so you don't need to write unit tests.

If you don't have that, you have to write unit tests, at which point you may as well spend time writing the unit tests to prove correctness independent of the language being used.

I mean, that just blog sums up the whole attitude issue here.

"It’s an exciting time to be a designer on iOS. My professional universe is trembling and rumbling with a deep sense of mystery."

This person is excited that their job designing iOS apps will be more interesting (and the prospect of plenty of work in the pipeline doesn't hurt either).

Fuck the end users who need to adapt to this needless change, suffer newly slow devices or invest in new ones, and put up with a hodge-podge of different UIs. Fuck the orgs who need to fund all this rework if they want their app on new devices. Fuck the waste of energy spent in the extra client-side cycles rendering all the needless new bling.

The advantage is, now there's an Apple team working on it. They will be bothered by their own bugs and hopefully get them fixed.

Virtualization.framework and co was buggy af when introduced and even after a few major macOS versions there are still lots of annoyances, for example the one documented in "Limitations on macOS 15" of this project, or half-assed memory ballooning support.

Hypervisor.framework on the other hand, is mostly okay, but then you need to write a lot more codes. Hypervisor.framework is equivalent to KVM and Virtualization.framework is equivalent to qemu.

Not potentially a customer because I have very few users that I can track if one of them have issues. So take my suggestions a bit lightly

1. I'd rather have/use a npm package then your minified/package script. You are not Google, so I am going to need some trust there and that happens by making this an open source package.

2. If I am going to implement this on my site, I'd not use that little bug. I'd rather have this custom design/integrated with the rest of my app. So provide API/functions/Hooks to use your library.

3. I'd never consider a one time payment (lifetime subscription) SaaS. That screams: I am going to take your money and disappear in a few months. Also, any product that doesn't have clear bandwidth quotas is probably missing in disclosure.

Some passages from your source:

ADS operators would be exposed to more than the standard maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits for RF energy, and military use requires an exception to these exposure limits

According to Wired, the ADS has been rejected for fielding in Iraq due to Pentagon fears that it would be regarded as an instrument of torture

Seems to have problems on both ends.

Your parent is making a useless complaint.

VI claims are still paid (faster, with lower standard of evidence, and cheaper to everyone involved). Lawsuits that go through court involve law firms and the investigations become extremely expensive for everyone.

Manufacturers (and rhetorical supply+delivery chain) are monitored by medical orgs and the federal government to ensure the doses remain safe, after passing the initial trials. These review systems catch incidents like the Samoa measles vaccine incident (in which a few nurses were at fault for injecting from the wrong bottles, which RFKJr was on the wrong side of) and other incidents where some vials were contaminated. Unless a VI plaintiff can prove gross negligence, the outcome is better under the current system. If they can prove gross negligence, they can still take a manufacturer (or any other defendant involved in the supply chain) to court.

The government decided that vaccines are a public health net positive and designed to current system to spread the risk across manufacturers and the government to ensure the cost of litigation didn’t eliminate this very useful tool.

First, the word you are looking for is "disingenuous."

Second, I disagree. It's important to disincentivize both the supply and demand. Right now, employers of illegal immigrants suffer no negative consequences when caught... so they keep in doing it. Which means that these mass deportations are purely performative, and the next wave of immigrants will get the same jobs.

The whole comment is a bit non-sensical, so I am not sure how to respond. If you are not from the US, you should know that social security is not an option, it is a mandatory program. Things like 401k plans are tax incentivized, and as we know, humans love incentives. Most 401k plans are in index funds, which track a large number of companies, so I am not sure what "luxuries for aging big spenders" means but it sounds like you have it figured out.

Maybe in your job losing your partner's income may merely represent lowering your consumption levels, but the vast majority of people aren't earning enough money to simply lower consumption levels when their income is halved. I don't consider people living in a 2 bedroom 1 bath house, driving 15 year old cars, and buying a few video games to be some sort of excessive living or high level of consumption.

Let's consider that you create a serverless platform which runs wasm/wasi code. The code can do an infinite loop and suck resources while blocking the thread that runs the code in the host. Now, with a fuel mechanism the code yields after a certain amount of instructions, giving the control back to the host. The host can then do things such as stop the guest from running, or store the amount of fuel to some database, bill the user and continue execution.

I know what you mean, at the same time I'm thinking we should welcome any momentum from the Elixir community. The more people working with Elixir/Erlang the better. And if you try Elixir at some point you learn about the Elixir background.
