Regardless of political affiliation, intelligent people realize that every source has a bias and usually an agenda.

Other people think anything that they disagree with is "biased" and accept only information that confirms what they already believe.

> it’s one of many reasons why I also advocate revolution, preferably followed by public executions

I feel this man doesn’t understand what he’s asking for. And should the revolution happen, he will be shocked to find himself in an interrogation room, screaming that they should be torturing and executing the real bad guys, not upstanding revolutionaries like himself.
I came here to say something similar. At least with watching some TV shows or movies, you’re more likely to get de-stressed and/or entertained. News is usually the opposite, creating more frustration, tension and stress about things where you may not be able to do much to help. Whatever is called “news” in today’s world is more of sensational, controversial and divisive stuff. Anything to create an addiction and keep people coming back and arguing is what it’s turned into.

It’s good and also useful sometimes to know what’s happening around, but obsessing with keeping up with news everyday is a huge drain.

Did you reward yourself after? It really is important but I feel many people skip out on it because it sounds (and is) ridiculous.

Other thing he recommends is “practicing” your habit, especially if your context changes e.g. you’re staying in a hotel for a week. This would mean for example to mimic brushing your teeth in front of the mirror then walking to the bed to sit and close your eyes 5 times or so.

To start it’s probably worth picking something up that you can easily prompt yourself to do (such as a note on your mirror). The only one that failed for me was posture related which relied on a too-irregular prompt.
this is generally useful and true, but it was more so when boring and safe investments (e.g. government bonds) were paying significant interests.

As of now, a 10y US treasury bill will pay less than 2%, and 2% compounded is still not much ("your $1000 saved today will become $1999 if you don't touch it for 35 years!").

Learning to save in general is probably the more fundamental information, imho.

EDIT: obviously investing in stocks-based funds comes with extra risks, and extra profit. If anything learning that risk and profit are connected is an even more important insight.

Sure, if you approach it with a problem-solving mindset, you can ignore the content and the noise and the inaccuracies of the news, and dig into an issue to be addressed that underlies the story.

But there's only so much thing you can act on at any given moment, and actions take a lot of time. In particular, you can execute one, two business ideas at a time; perhaps three if you're Elon Musk. So once you're engaged in action, what's the point of following the news? You aren't going to act on anything else for the next couple years anyway.
I agree, but part of the reason is that such small businesses consistently fail to differentiate their policy objectives from the ones of megacorps. If I give a tax breaks to companies, megacorps will benefit disproportionately more than SMBs, but SMBs oppose thresholds and caps because they “discourage growth” and “increase red tape”. What is a legislator going to do?

SMBs in many ways act as “temporarily embarrassed megacorps” and hence reap what they sow.
Title doesn't match the article and contradicts the article's contents. The article talks about using unikernels with containers, not instead of them.

BTW, I kind of assume they mean running unikernels inside containers as opposed to running containers on unikernels. The article seems a bit self-contradictory about that.

As a matter of fact, AlphaZero already plays more aggressively than typically expected of chess engines.

Eg. in a well-known game it beated Stockfish (the strongest traditional chess engine), brilliantly sacrificing 3 pawns for a non-obvious, human-like compensation.

This once again challenged the notion of what the perfect play boils down to in chess.

Oversimplifying a bit, it had already been assumed that it's solely about grinding the opponent down by mercilessly accumulating miniscule advantages, while all the flashiness only worked because human players are error-prone.

As it turns out, it may have been just another limitation of chess engines as we knew (and built) them.

[Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat in this area, but don't speak for IBM or their CTO]

I think reading between the lines this is really about Kata Containers-style fast booting virtual machines which run containers and give you a bit more security. Development of this is very far along, expect to see this being deployed widely soon by enterprises and others who have security sensitive container workloads.

The unikernels stuff seems rather more speculative, and I don't know specifically what IBM is referring to, but I am [at Red Hat] working with a student at BU on turning Linux into a unikernel. You link your application directly to Linux and get a vmlinuz binary which can be run in a variety of places including on cloud VMs, in qemu, in a Kata Container [in theory - not actually tried this one], or even on baremetal. Old article here: https://next.redhat.com/2018/11/14/ukl-a-unikernel-based-on-...

Edit: I should say for completeness there is also KubeVirt, which lets you run your pet VMs in a pod on Kubernetes. Sort of the opposite of Kata.

I've noticed that when flying from Spain the displays list the towns using their Spanish names, for example "Londres" instead of London, "Burdeos" instead of Bordeaux, etc. I've only seen this done in Spain. If I went to China and the displays listed all towns in Chinese it would be much more complicated to navigate...

> read back by the crew means confirmed

Read back does not mean confirmed, it's basically a double check. What pilots do when they get an instruction they'll respond with the same instruction (but abbreviated).

Example:

ATC: Descend and maintain FL300

Pilot: Cleared for FL 300, XZ 123

Whereby XZ 123 indicates the flight. By reading back the instructions ATC should notice if the pilot heard everything correctly.

That's entirely different than "confirmed". With confirmed there's no double check. Further, unless there's an emergency AFAIK the pilot must follow ATC so no need to "confirm".

containers are implemented via cgroups (and others) and share the kernel. I presume with a unikernel, you'll not be sharing the kernel, obviously..
So concept of a "container" is there and probably the orchestration via kubernetes is all still valid up the stack, so it makes sense to call that "containers" still.
Essentially every real estate business is the same. Buy cheap; fix up; sell with profit. As a consequence it's not so intimidating, and you only need street smarts to succeed. People who want to start a business but who have no unique skills tend to start generic businesses where you can follow a known business model, like restaurants, coffee shops, and real estate. Since you can't make money with the first two it should be no surprise that real estate is the visible outlier.

Buy low, sell high, and you get leverage provided to you by a bank. It shouldn't surprise anybody that it's an easy source of wealth!

There are also poor people who get rich with a carpet cleaning or cement delivery business, but they have to overcome challenges unique to their situation. So every success story looks like an irreplicable outlier.

How does it compare to os161 as a teaching OS ? What I really like about it is how fast it builds and runs and how comprehensive the course is with a decent amount of assignments.
That was the last OS I used for which the acceptable troubleshooting solution was to “format the disk”. 20 years later and I came to the same point with this iPhone 7, thought that we had left that behind us. And I can’t even do it myself, I have to wait for the local Apple service store to open, which it won’t until January 6th (the phone broke down on December 27th). But hurray! for the new color, I guess.

>I live in podunk Ohio and a single bedroom apartment is still ~$650 per month.

I pay $1100 a month rent, no utilities/services included, for a 2 bedroom just west of Indianapolis, it's insane. The prices are that though because housing prices keep climbing.

Fiance and I are starting to look at homes so we can get pre-approved once she has a teaching contract here and... new construction homes a mile or so from me are starting at 250k for 1 bedroom homes with 2-3 bedroom homes stating around 300k. There's actually a home, bank repo, about 1/4 of a mile from my apartment that they want 320k for in a cookie-cutter addition, with a messed up driveway and exterior damage, that's not even 5-10 years old. The median household income is 59k here...

House prices have been climbing like crazy the past several years, but most people can't actually afford them. There are definitely not a lot of jobs around where I live that justify multiple new housing additions with homes at 300-350k a pop. I just don't get it.

> Having your case pushed on medium

Agree that the medium (no pun intended) is suboptimal for the message.
What I'm getting at is that single-user machines that host multiple VMs don't actually use much more CPU than they would if they ran what the VMs in aggregate are running.

The main difference, from a resource usage perspective, is that each VM needs RAM. I typically run at least two pfSense router VMs as VPN gateways. They use about 600MB each. And the Debian VM that I'm writing this in uses about 2.4GB. Most of that's used by the browser. But CPU usage is only about 10% of four 3GHz i5 cores.

But if I stream some video, or download a torrent, all three VMs use more CPU. Altogether maybe 50%-60% CPU. That's because there are thee OpenVPN instances (one in the host, and one in each pfSense VM) encoding/decoding traffic.

Even so, I doubt that it'd be all that different if there were no VMs, and the host was doing all that. In other words, I don't think that the VirtualBox overhead is all that high.

>Now, you can argue the prng is effectively a random number generator, but that’s more semantics than reality.

That's not "arguing semantics", that's the entire point. It's irrelevant if the randomization is pseudo or not - players cannot deterministically know the result of their actions in all cases. They can only know probabilistically. Whether that source of probabilistic knowledge comes from a roll of a die or particle decay is irrelevant - it is now a random game by definition.

Surface to surface missiles are basically just indirect fire. I believe that the Army's MLRSs would qualify for IDF.

The difference between IDF and direct fire is mostly to reduce collateral damage. Direct fire can be more accurate and limit damage to surrounding areas. It is also easier to hit moving targets with direct fire.

How did you measure its performance?
I was in San Francisco for about 1 hour last year before I saw multiple people asleep on the sidewalk downtown in the middle of a Sunday afternoon. I was there about 16 hours before I watched a woman, a block from OpenAI, step out of a tent (in a row of tents and tarps) and squat immediately front of her tent, take a dump, and go back into her tent before I could walk 20 feet. Never in my 33 years of life at the time had I thought I'd witness such a thing, that's when I realized what I assumed was a police horse barn somewhere nearby (we have mounted police, and hansom cabs, in downtown Indianapolis) was the smell of human feces and urine, not road apples and hay.

Then I started looking where I was walking and noticed brown smudge after brown smudge after brown lump. Saw a decent one outside of YC's SF office too maybe halfway down the block.

Homeless people have to use the restroom, if they're homeless they don't have a toilet and are probably going to do it on the sidewalk or in an alley. This is how disease spreads.
I am probably wrong but my understanding is that IPFS is an addressing scheme. While it can be private or peer to peer it can also be public. As an addressing scheme it continues to follow the web’s client-server model. A client-server model on the web is inherently public and anonymous.

A dedicated peer to peer system focused on privacy has no server and no third party. Instead the model is client-client without third party routing. Privacy is then achieved because connections are direct, in an application layer sense, between nodes and each node is a client running the same application in the same way. This is always confidential and never anonymous. This is achieved because there is no application layer addressing used at all, not even DNS.

Think about it more in terms of a shared disk drive on a private network mapped to a local file system address instead of a web location.

That's how cars economics work. Homes are depreciating assets. They need expensive repairs and renovations throughout their life. Modern homes are designed to last a few decades. Why are capital holders entitled to guranteed capital returns when their neighbors sleep in excrement on the streets?

I see your point, so please don't accuse me of missing it. However comparing an underwater loan to living on the streets is absurd. If the house isn't worth the mortgage file bankruptcy and move on with your life. If you're living on the streets the chances of getting another chance are razor thin. We all should take a hard look at our privilege before we compare the pains of bankruptcy to the immediately life threatening hellscape that is homelessness.
