You're right. I think on the overall we'll gonna have to learn to restrain/harness ebpf somehow, since it will keep growing.

We're already starting to see some complex applications appear over tc+ebpf and I believe I've seen some tcp congestion algorithms prototyped there? Those can be somehow complex already. Crypto could be offloaded to dedicated 'nodes' (as you find in dpdk for example).

But, since you can now chain epbf programs I can imagine some kind of task-graph programming model emerging there allowing for very complex applications. Maybe even specific complex kernel modules that can only be called through ebpf...

In fact I already tried putting most of a high-throughput packet processor there and it's really fun, this feeling of being in 1998 with my first turbo pascal + asm programs. Hard to debug, though.

I hope we'll be able soon to converge on sw archs similar to tbb::flow or cudagraphs or vpp/dpdk pipelines.

The next years are going to be very, very interesting.

You could say that about Twitter today; it’s still a small minority of the mainstream population that is on it at all, let alone those who Tweet.

But whether it’s IRC, NNTP, Yahoo Chat, LiveJournal, Twitter, LinkedIn or any other online social platform, the practice of finding new acquaintances on the platform then parlaying them into offline professional or personal relationships is not at all unusual.

But to your point, early-days Twitter included most people who were into startups, many who were into programming, design, media, even music. Maybe small in number (say, only a few million people) but still significant and influential.

I’m conscious that this discussion is essentially becoming a debate over the definition of “typical”, which is rather pointless.

The point is that whatever your definition of “typical”, the number of people making offline friends and business connections via Twitter and other online platforms has always been significant.

There are crucial differences between Java applets and JS.

- Applets tried to render their own GUI, Wasm doesn't and defers to the browser.

- applets needed a big, slow to start and resource hungry VM. Wasm is running in the same thread your JS is also running in, it's light, and loads faster than JS

- Java and flash were plugins, which needed to be installed and kept up to date separately. Wasm is baked into your browser's JS engine

- Wasm code is very fast and can achieve near native execution speeds. It can make use of advanced optimisations. SIMD has shipped in Chrome, and will soon in Firefox

- The wasm spec is very, very good, and really quite small. This means that implementing it is comparatively cheap, and this should make it easy to see it implemented by different vendors.

- Java was just Java. Wasm can serve as a platform for any language. See my earlier point about the spec

So it's apples and oranges. The need to have something besides JS hasn't gone away, so their use cases might be similar. The two technologies couldn't be more distinct, though.
Sounds like a dispute over facts. Bring URLs to defend your case.
I don’t believe that the majority of Jupyterhub users are “consumers” rather than professionals, but more importantly, that doesn’t change the fact that the professional use case exist and isn’t amenable to the fat client approach.

Oh yes, when I discovered SCTP I felt so sad for all time I and hundred others had implemented part of its featureset over the last 30 years... I mean, it was packed with great features like separate streams, packet-based, multi-homing and multipath. It felt so right playing with it. Alas, even in my company I failed to convince it was a great replacement for layers upon layers of working udp code. I think it came too late...
Yeah but european companies dont exist, we re all different.

Im French for instance, and we certainly dont work like the german. For us it s all about the game, the gossips, the fightings. Everyone is the CEO and it s hard to remember we have a job to do end of the day.

In Germany I ve heard things are more...rule following.

TL;DR dont idealize europe, it s a big place.

The way Android solved this problem (before they implemented AOT) was to fork the JVM post-load (and I think even JIT) of all the core Java and Android classes; the real somewhat-fundamental problem with the JVM in a multi-process system isn't really having to "load the virtual machine and JIT for every process start" but the multiple, almost-certainly-uncoordinated garbage collectors.

It would be interesting to know from NASA if, had Ingenuity crashed and lost all COMMS, they would still know what was the cause of the issue. I mean the wrong timestamps of the images, not what caused them.

It would also be interesting to know what caused them, if it was a bug in the software, or a particle flipping a bit in the timestamping-code.

No, TB was present in pre-Colombian North and South America.

TB is a very ancient disease according to [1,3] and has been present in humans since the dawn of humankind according to [2].

There is evidence of the disease in human remains from the Neolithic era and Egyptian mummies from 3000 BC. Furthermore there are references to the the disease in writing from both ancient India [5] and ancient 2700 BC China, see [4].

According to [6], seals carried TB to the Americas from Africa approximately 6000 years ago; although the Wikipedia entry for TB says that it has been "unambiguously detected" in bison remains in Wyoming dated to around 17,000 years ago. [7]

Interesting how you had to throw a right wing site in there with your underhanded attack. So you think the left is immune to this? Can you actually get through a CNN article without wanting to vomit?

With that one statement you lost me entirely.
The US still has residential schools except they are privately run making the church in charge earn tens of millions of dollars every year as a charity. Though there's less death, they're still removing Native Americans from their home, exposing then to rampant abuse and bigotry, and giving them a standard public school education.
You are thinking that they’re assuming hostility, when all they assume is you being neutral and tactful by default. The logic is: “we don’t know each other and have no reason to feel happy about something between us, for there is none [yet]”. If you smile at me, I think that you’re either happy about me, i.e. are focusing on me (which is inappropriate unless you’re someone I could in theory adore(smile at genuinely?), e.g. a girl, a puppy, etc), or you find something funny in me. It’s nice that you are open and friendly, but the way you do it isn’t tactful, and is too intimate for a stranger. You’d probably feel the same if you stood on a pier alone watching sunset, and some stranger moved beside, right next to your shoulder, never saying a word. So open, friendly and non-hostile, but something wrong – that’s personal space in action. We just have emotional personal space that no one dares to enter without invitation or at least enough courage.

It’s not a criticism, just explanation of what other people feel. Now for a criticism (well lack of understanding really):

Americans are obsessed with being Happy. They’re always smiling, and when bad things happen, they’re sad, but at the same time they’re okay, it’s fine. But isn’t that a contradiction? They are lying. What’s even wrong with feeling bad (or just neutrally sad, inert, nostalgic) and not finding other’s happiness encouraging? Why are they even copying other’s emotions, when they should have their own? People have a spectrum emotions (more than 50 of them) for serious neurological reasons, and they feel every one of them, not only “good” and “fine”. Why are they denying everything except happiness and love, when it’s normal to feel all of the spectrum sometimes?
My theory is something I call "The Feynman effect". Feynman has a talent of making the listener believe that they (the listener) understand everything at a very deep level. So it gives the feeling he's an amazing teacher -- and if you don't actually try to apply that knowledge, you might never notice that you're wrong.

I realized that after reading his lecture on "the principle of least action" coming out with the feeling that I deeply understand (among other things) calculus of variations - a field I didn't even know existed until I read that. So I tried to use it -- and realized that, other than recreating Feynman's example, I can't really use it for anything.

I shared the sentiment with others over lunch the next day (a couple of other undergrads and two graduate students), and they were all familiar with that feeling....

I should have been more clear about the monoclonals I was referring to, which are those targeting the virus itself (1).

You may be thinking of the targeted immune modulators against inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha (2) and IL-6 (3). Some of those are antibodies, others are pieces of antibody fused to other proteins. Regardless, those types of treatments would not be affected directly by viral mutation, whereas the first type I described above have already been shown to be less effective with existing mutations (4).

These children weren’t abandoned, they were forcefully taken from their families by the government. They were sent vast distances to these boarding schools to “kill the Indian in the child”, where they were often mistreated, sexually abused, and went missing ( murder/neglect/ abuse). So it is all the more egregious in this case. The government turned a blind eye to the Churches, and the Churches were doing God’s work. These stories are uncovering the horrors described by the survivors that were generally ignored until recently.

> The Atomic Rockets website[0] describes the issue clearly:

I don't find their description very clear. In particular, they don't even define

- what "faster-than-light" is supposed to mean in a non-relativistic setting (Newtonian mechanics) where there's no such thing as a universal velocity and you're dealing with Galilean velocity transformations.

- what causality is supposed to mean exactly outside the relativistic setting where you have a universal velocity which induces the causal structure.

All in all, their definitions are very inter-dependent, so the "trichotomy" they present as truth doesn't make much sense to begin with. From my POV, they're not even wrong[0].

Moreover, they seem to only consider Special Relativity and completely ignore General Relativity where the speed-of-light bound is only a local bound. Basically, even if what they say were true, it would still not apply to the General Relativistic setting we're looking at here.

> Time travel makes Causality impossible, since it can be used to create paradoxes

You can measure power movements at a macro scale. So you can see how much energy is being produced by power stations, and how that’s being fed into distribution networks, plus you can sum all the power usage going through end user meters.

All that together give you enough data to pretty accurately estimate stolen power. But not enough data to figure out with any precision where it being stolen. You might know that certain parts of a city are worse that others, but you couldn’t identify the house or even road where it’s happening.

I don't want to sound flippant when I say, I think that GME and a lot of the Reddit hype has helped to alleviate this among that successful 20%.

I think many of that group are seeing that, while the structure of the system does allow them to succeed more than the other 80%, the system isn't built with them in mind. So, when the system is threatened, it will hurt them happily. Furthermore, I think they have started to not just know, but genuinely understand, that the top of the top is further away from them than they realise and far, far more advantaged than they realised too.

That, of course, is just one recent and notable example of these realisations.
