In case anyone runs across similar AMD GPU issues, the "disable_idle_d3=1" option in the second pastebin link (when used as a kernel parameter) should be prefixed as "vfio-pci.disable_idle_d3=1". Even then, it can still be hit-or-miss with some cards (it works most of the time for me, but some VM restarts still find that the GPU has entered D3 and won't come back without rebooting the host).

People always make claims like "oh, innocent until proven guilty!", "Let's just wait for the evidence!'.

But apparently we are here right now, where the state was proven guilty, and they paid a million dollars to someone for their crimes, and the evidence does show that something bad happened, and yet people are still ignoring the evidence.

Yeah, no. They paid a million dollars to someone. That is good enough evidence for me to condemn them.

Chief AuthorityA military service Chief Master Sergeant abused her authority and improperly used a government vehicle when she employed a government vehicle and three non-commissioned officers under her supervision to move personal property in a government rental vehicle. The soldiers helped her for 3 hours. The Chief Master Sergeant was given a verbal warning and advised of the improper use of government vehicles and the abuse of authority. Abuse of Position and BriberyA military service Captain used his official position as a reservist to obtain contracts for private sector companies with which he had an affiliation. In addition, the Captain accepted a “finder’s fee” (i.e., kickbacks) from one company for his efforts in helping thecompany obtain government contract work. For his significant ethical failure, the Captain was “allowed” to retire at the grade of Commander, though he had been selected to be an Admiral. In addition, the Captain was debarred for one year, while two of the affiliated companies entered into administrative agreements (for 3 years) with the military service.

-- what's the pay difference between commander and admiral? This looks like a standard white collar slap on the wrist.

> What rational HR department would want to keep a manager who makes their subordinates feel unsafe, work ineffectively, etc.?

Any of them, because:

(1) The manager is more likely to know their legal rights,

(2) The manager is more likely to be able to afford the cost of litigation in a dispute,

(3) The manager is more likely to have a contract beyond at-will employment,

(4) Determining whether the manager is a problem or the employee is malingering has a cost, plus risks creating evidence of corporate liability

Etc.

Except in the most clear and egregious cases, HR is naturally aligned with management against the human resources that management manages; that's kind of the point of HR, whose function is to assist management in efficiently (i.e., at minimum cost per unit value produced) managing those the human resources.

HR is not a neutral referee; the closest there is to that is government labor relations authorities.
If you train an AI using data from a system that already has certain biases, then the AI is going to replicate those same systemic biases in it's own predictions. It follows the "garbage in, garbage out" idiom.

Tribal cultures tend to have long and complex, even tedious oral histories and initiations into them. With a knowledge keeper, shaman, druid, healer etc. Could be that the old druid power structure was in decline and so the typical transmission of information was interrupted. We know a similar thing happened later to the midwives/fertility women who were persecuted as witches with I suspect dire consequences to infant mortality rates. Originally it's hard for me to believe that people could be that stupid, but if pre-romans you had a loose confederation of naturalist-priests which kept practical knowledge shrouded in magic ritual as a means of exerting power any intergenerational disruption would be catastrophic. I think the Scandinavians have a slightly clearer picture of their descent due to the later expansion of the new religion into their territories. If reading declines I wonder if people will move back to a digitally transmitted oral history as a type of living memory which quickly becomes too vast to comprehend and may lead to similar transmission problems in the future with historians studying unimportant but vast repositories of codebases, the clay tablets of our day to piece together what went wrong with the C++ culture.

HR doesn’t see it that way; they only see current situation: the immediate two-person conflict between employee and manager. In this isolated case, it’s always less politically risky to stand with the manager against the lowly employee. Now copy and repeat this process for every single subsequent case, even against the same manager; it’s always less politically risky in each isolated case to rule against the employee. This is therefore a sufficient explanation for why the HR department behaves like it does.

Examples were taken from the book.

The extortion was listed as 'cohersion'. Bribery was listed as such, no prison sentence or fine even. On my kindle it is Loc 76 and 84 of 3214. Taken from the "Encyclopedia of Ethical Failure - Revised September 2016: An Anthology of Unethical Conduct in the US Government."

Since you first denied that government employees were treated different than private business, and then stated that my examples didn't exist... maybe it's time to reconsider why the defensive position against something that is so clearly factual?

P.s. stating that there are negative consequences for government employee behavior doesn't address the assertion that there is a double standard and one is treated more leniently than another. I know government employees go to jail. That's not new. The difference in LENIENCY is what's at issue here.
"Keeping politics out of it" may have worked in the 90s or 2000s. But we know that the Russians are conducting extensive cyber ops in the USA, have compromised systems with access to sensitive data in the USA and globally, and are trying to influence, and likely have influenced, US elections. So yes, THERE IS A VERY RELEVANT CONNECTION between data harvesting by big tech and the current occupant of the White House.

It's kind of like Godwin's law. It was relevant in an era when Nazism was a discredited relic of the past. But actual Nazis have turned into a powerful political force in the United States, thanks in part to toxic internet culture, and we do ourselves a profound disservice to forbid talking about them for what they are. Accordingly, Godwin's Law is no longer relevant.

This is not really accurate. Submarines maintain roughly neutral buoyancy and use a motor for propulsion. They can use lifting surfaces for buoyancy control, but they need the motor to move forward. Airships operate on essentially the same principle--- airships are closer to "air submarines" than "air ships."

This device is an air-equivalent of an underwater glider.[0]* It establishes positive buoyancy to rise through the fluid (air, in this case, rather than water) and then establishes negative buoyancy to enter a dive, after which it glides just like any other glider.

The difference between this thing and a 'normal' glider is that it uses buoyancy to rise in altitude rather than needing to be towed by a conventional airplane.

About a year ago a recruiter from a NYC company called me about a role which sounded interesting.

Then they said the initial part of the interview was to write a project for them, which essentially amounted to "rewrite memcached in go".

I must assume they were looking for free labor under the guise of an interview. I strongly suspect there was no job. I offered to do the work for $200/hr, never heard back.

Actually, I did hear back over six months later when the same recruiter contacted me again with the same story. I reminded him that we already talked about this long before.

Never do work for free under the excuse of an interview.
This is a very specific, narrow interpretation of the dark ages. It is not a good term to use in any circumstance, which the article illustrates well.

Secondly, in the event of societal collapse, I'm not exactly looking for a great work of art. I image we lost far more texts through preventable destruction and lack of preservation than we lost novel texts written during the post-roman european collapse. I think the quote illustrates a meaningful parallel.

> But the loss of something that we know existed (and can even look at photographs of!) is very different than destruction so total that it even obliterates the possibility of remembrance.

Categorically different maybe, but consequentially equivalent. I can rattle off a ton of lost texts, but that's mostly meaningless and these works hold virtually no cultural value compared to works we can actually read and engage with.

One medical option mentioned upthread is the Sinclair Method. It involves taking medicine like Narcan before drinking. The medicine blocks the endorphins released by drinking, so you don't get the pleasurable "reward." You basically retrain your brain, reducing your desire to drink.

When I was struggling with alcohol, I found that I needed a secondary reason to manage my drinking. Once I decided that I wanted to start dating more, and realized that my drinking and the related weight gain was an impediment, it was an incentive to reduce my alcohol intake to a more responsible amount.

I didn't quit– I still love California wine and I'm building a nice collection. And when seasonal beer that I like comes out, I definitely pick some of it up. But it doesn't control me like it used to.

> Your best best is freeze it, but that requires constant energy.

Making up the difference between freezing and the ambient temperature requires constant energy.

China has access to a lot of land where the mean average temperature gets close to or below freezing[1], they've also got access to permafrost[2] areas.

Whether they have long-term strategic stockpiles of meat is another matter, but I don't see why running such a stockpile wouldn't be relatively cheap for them given their access to cold areas. Once you decide to store meat long enough it makes sense to put it on a train to Tibet instead of paying to keep it in a freezer in the heat by the coast.

That's not what happened in the example at all. The example company isn't biased against summer interns, "who stops working after x time" was just a bad question.

The comment you're replying to can boil down to "do you want a monkey's paw solving your problem? If so then AI may be for you"

Or perhaps "stop pretending you're ever going to get ethics or empathy out of a computer"
It's a common theme - that it's all a very clever cipher - that the metals, planet alignments, etc are either code for chemical reactions or "transformations of the soul." I got into it as a teenager, but called it quits at some point, because while Fulcanelli is vague, he is at least a competent human being. That much can't be said for the authors of most "alchemical", and similar, texts.

Also, it's funny to track the biographies of the most commonly known Occultists; Crowley, Dee, Parsons - all accomplished before they got into the occult, and declining after.

There are people who talk like that. What's your problem with it in particular? I don't find any of its sentences especially difficult to parse.
The first paragraph of the quoted piece is a nightmare. The first sentence of the second and third paragraph are poorly drafted as well. In the rest, the verbose recounting fits the theme and does not distract from the point.

As a writing exercise, let me re-write the piece:

"What happened during the Middle Ages is unclear and the evidence we use to understand it is contradictory. Reviews depict the period as one filled with conflict and struggle, but artistic works dated to this period - from the calm, serene looking statues to the expansive, aspirational Gothic architecture - instead hint that they were created by happy people in a flourishing society.

Perhaps the lack of recorded history in this period is the result of peace and a lack of notable incidents rather than war, famine and disease."

The idea is interesting but bite-sized when stripped of the pomp.
Unless you share it between processes.
Yes, in my mind this is the key of a data lake. Take all your raw data and store it somewhere, then provide ways for people to access and query the raw data.

This means ingestion is faster (no transformation) and you don't throw away any data that you might want later. If multiple teams want to query the same data in different ways they have the ability to do so. And ideally it prevents data silos because everyone can stuff their raw data into a master data lake and each team has access to all the data but is responsible for doing the work to make it look like they want.

Reality of the above obviously doesn't always match the theory but schema-on-read/ELT are the easiest ways to handle the above. Typically this involves some kind of Hadoop-style technology, like Hive or SparkSQL for SQL-based querying, Spark for non-SQL, etc. But you've always got the raw data and can go back and re-ELT it from the data lake if your needs change.
> In what way are the people who report them a liability?

Because they reported them. The rest of the employees are not reporting anything, and are therefore not a problem for HR to be dealt with. The conflict is between the reporting employee and the manager, who has more political capital. Therefore, HR sides with the manager to minimize risks to itself.
This is an extremely crowded market. Your website makes it look like just another one of dozens and dozens of such apps. Anyone wanting me to even look at a new app (much less start a free trial and actually use it) is going to have to make a heck of a case as to what you do that others don't.

"You’re more effective when you don’t feel overwhelmed. Satistime is a goal tracker and time management tool that helps entrepreneurs build online businesses—one task at a time."

This sounds like every other task management app on the market. You might have a great product but the website needs to be more effective.

On a more specific note - do you allow file uploads? Without that, task lists are incomplete. It goes against "it’s got everything bundled together".
I mean, that's applaudable, but I'm afraid your filter might be too broad. I've worked(and still work) on one of the largest AAA releases of this year and we've done zero crunch. I'm a senior engine programmer and no one on my team has done more few hours of overtime in the month leading to the release . I'm at work 8am and leave at 4pm every day like clockwork. So yeah, not every company is like this and not every AAA title requires crunch to be finished.

> Cool, you got to discover Scheme today!

There's nothing wrong with implementing the tool in Scheme, but the problem is that typical ML frameworks implemented in Python use Python as their "glue" language (which already can be somewhat problematic performance wise). This approach is using a text serialization and sh as the glue language.

Sure, it's conceptually neat, but for exploration, it's not even competitive with regular Python, let alone e.g. Python in a Jupyter notebook.

I could see an approach using scheme itself as the exploratory glue language being quite competitive. Dropping down into shell pipelines is decidedly worse.
