I have to wonder if this depends on one's familiarity with the respective products. I started with GCP and then used AWS and found the latter to be way more confusing and convoluted than GCP. The forced daily logouts on AWS added another element of hassle to the mix.

It absolutely does on linux (which uses the qemu driver). <url> is a custom image URL that is in http://, https://, or file:// format.

As long as the image is a "cloud" image with cloud-init installed it works fine. I tested this with a fedora image on linux.

> However, your question is actually whether on MacOS you can have nested virtualization. Because, if MacOS (and Multipass support) it, then this is what you need.

This was not my question, but I don't believe nested virt is supported on macOS with multipass. Someone correct me if i'm wrong but I think nested virt is only available via VMware Fusion on macOS, multipass uses hypervisor.framework via hyperkit

Its quite possible for even fused circuits to cause fires. If there is a high resistance short then it will heat up without drawing enough current to trip the fuse or breaker.

I don't know how common this is in cars, but it is quite common in household wiring. It was especially problematic with aluminum wiring used in the 70s but can happen even in copper circuits.

The `Ordering` example given in the announcement shows another use-case. User code typically won't pattern match on that enum anyway, it will usually just be passed as an argument to atomic functions. And it may be desirable to add another type of ordering as rust's memory model evolves.

>In American history new housing construction has almost always been "high-end".

Anecdotally this is the case right now here in central Indiana. Fiance and I are starting to look for a house, we can get something 20-50 years old for 150-180k or the new construction physically across the street with the same square footage (and much smaller yards) is starting around 200k headed well past 300k (because, apparently, fancy counter tops and stainless appliances are worth an extra 100k eyeroll).

There's a half dozen new additions going in where we're looking and the cost for a tiny 1 bedroom house will get you 2-3 bedroom house with 0.25-0.5 acres within a 1/2 mile drive door to door purely because of all of the 'features' which are almost entirely cosmetic.

Error enums are precisely the target for this attribute. Servo's URL parser is a great example, as it currently uses a dummy variant that is hidden from the documentation in order to discourage people from trying to exhaustively match over it: https://github.com/servo/rust-url/blob/7d2c9d6ceb3307a3fad4c...
All good points. In this case, the original dataset is created from real world body scans. You collect enough scans in this "base collection of scans" to have a "real" distribution of the world. You can then span a latent space on top of this initial distribution and use GANs to further scale it. This isn't as good as real yet, but it generates results that are better than limited quantities of real data alone. Agree with your point around the Monte Carlo simulation. Synthetic data is not the be-all end-all to train neural networks.
I'd be worried about what happens to the GPS headlights when the map data gets out of date. On my car the out of date maps are now quite noticeable.
As a consumer I sort of like this (I do worry about unintended consequences tho), but as a developer this absolutely sucks. It's already a massive PITA to make use of telephony (SMS/voice calls) through AWS and the like, and this will only make that 10 times worse. Even at a medium-sized company that spends 5 figures a month on AWS services we got totally burned by this.

Amazon has also done an abysmal job at facilitating between the deveopers (us) and the carriers. They will just shut down your production system without warning and yet their API will still return 200s as tho everything is fine, while silently sending your SMS to the bit bucket. Then when you open a support case it will take a while unless you pay for support, support that you only need because they are returning lies from the API and you have no way of finding out what is wrong without a support agent looking at the system. Yeah I'm still pretty pissed. I will pay more for Twilio until something drastic changes.

Go folks seem pretty persistent in espousing this belief, but I've yet to see many examples of it in action.

Many many years ago I applied at IOActive as a security hobbyist on the off-chance they were willing to take a chance on someone trying to switch specialties.

They were not, but they were super, super nice about it. I was on all their email lists and they would reach out from time to time. In fact the founder took me out to lunch at least three years later just to catch up and see where I was.

He didn't have to do any of this. I've never had anyone but consultancy recruiters keep in touch for that long, and they often feel fake and exploitative.

There was an old saying in Seattle that 'Seattle is a small town'.

> Is it the norm for CPU to be a bigger line item than transfer?

Not universal, but certainly very normal.

1. Transfer within a data center is usually free.

2. CDN reduce transfer fees significantly for static content.

3. Transfer is pay-what-you-use, whereas compute is traditionally pay-what-you-reserve.

AWS transfer are $0/GB incoming; $0.09/GB outgoing. A c5.large (1 physical CPU, 4GB RAM) is $0.09/hour.

So as long as you average less than 291KB/s from your single-core machine, you will spend more on compute than transfer.

Considering that you probably overprovision the CPU to handle spikiness, this is quite likely especially for a typical JSON API server (no images, no video, no web assets).

In my experience, WSL1 is also very, very slow and cannot run all programs. A while ago, no haskell programs would run, for instance. Not sure about the current status though.

Another limitation in WSL1 is that it cannot run docker. And so on.

The oft cited $2.6B cost to develop a drug is derived from data from big pharma drug development programs. There is some evidence that startups are 5x more efficient at developing drugs [0]

The last several years have seen large increases in the number of new FDA approved drugs. The number of FDA approved drugs developed by big pharma is roughly constant, while the number being developed by startups is increasing

AI can certainly help improve R&D productivity, but it is far from the only lever. Better risk management, clinical trial design, advances in protein engineering, larger genomic datasets analyzed with "traditional" statistical methods, better disease models, new therapeutic modalities, etc have all contributed to more efficient R&D productivity over the last decade and will continue to do so. But these don't get much attention outside of the pharma industry

No. I don't seriously think China is following the US. They'd do it anyway. But with the US no longer standing as a working example of a country that values free speech there is less need for China to pretend on the world stage to save face and hide their nature. This lack of pretending has become very obvious in China in the last ~5 years. Maybe that's a good thing but the regression in the USA isn't.

Sorry if my original post was a bit glib. The point wasn't to say it's okay for China if the USA does it. My point was that it's an almost universal bad trend in nation states today.

What I meant is that most of the recent C# additions are merely syntactic sugar that does not increase developer productivity in a significant way, does not boost the expressiveness of the language, sometimes even decreases the readability of the code. That's in contrast to things like generics and li q.

Besides apart from C# there's also CLR and Jit that could use more love. It is well known that jvm is a better vm than CLR. Most of the CLR speed comes from using references to value types but somewhat as an afterthought and without tools that C++ provides (readonly gives you muh less power that const reference).

Since the target audience is workstations, using bridging as a default is a monumentally bad idea. The proliferation of easy to use tools to host and run instances on workstations has been a huge boon for engineers, but it comes at a cost - those instances need to be maintained, or they are source of vulnerability.

By forcing users to be intentional about how those instances are exposed inbound network traffic and the internet in general, it drastically reduces the attack surface of virtual machines on the workstation. It would be great if there was an option for it though (not familiar enough with this tool to know if it is).

You probably are right about that, but it can’t be fully correct. If I type “cat ”, drag in a file, and hit return, it isn’t Terminal.app that reads the file, but cat, launched by my shell (and that’s the simple case; nothing forbids me from nesting a few shells, a few sudo’s, etc. before accessing a file)

⇒ this special permission must either directly apply to all command-line tools or always be inherited on fork and/or execve (it cannot require a magic system call, as the command-line tool reading or writing data might not be Apple-supplied)

I can see how opening this door “just long enough” gets hairy very easily. So, as others suggest, this may have been implemented as a “OK, let’s do it this way for now, and try and figure out whether we can better later”.

This actually looks great, installing it now to try out.

But the title of this HN post doesn't really explain what it is, since a "mini-cloud" implies a lot more than just Ubuntu VMs. The actual headline of the target page is: "Instant Ubuntu VMs", with a subtitle of: "A mini-cloud on your Mac or Windows workstation." And the title of the page is: "Multipass orchestrates virtual Ubuntu instances" which makes much more sense.

This really is great - after installing it's as simple as "multipass launch" to create and start a new instance, and then "multipass shell" to get a shell prompt. In the background it uses the native Hyper-V hypervisor to run the VMs.
