I was under the impression that PCI-E was perfectly capable of sending notifications from one device to another in a somewhat efficient manner. Having said that, this is not my area of expertise - and I do see that if your main concern is to feed the GPU then blocking a thread might be the optimal solution. I assume that MSI would be too much overhead and might involve some context switching to service the interrupt from the kernel etc to allow for asynchronous completion? Also, is it possible to have overlapping memory regions between a high speed networking card and the input buffer from the GPU, which in effect just means that the CPU just has to tell the GPU to start reading once the network card is done receiving?

Having said that, I don't believe that for most application developers this is a major concern - in cases where you flood the GPU with a firehose of data to compute on you probably also don't care about what other processes run on the machine and whether your architectural decisions end up making people's laps uncomfortably hot. I also do not believe that the future of all I/O is just memcpy and atomics - we can already do that today. It doesn't really bring you any advantages for speed in the general case. I think the future of I/O is memcpy, atomics and a good signaling mechanism to signal I/O task completion without costly context switches with as little extraneous memory allocation as possible. Moreover, the future of consumer computing will probably not rely on PCI-E at all and instead have the GPU and the CPU share all of it's memory. And hey, maybe Nvidia will add some cool ARM companion cores to their biggest chips, slap on some DDR5 slots on their cards and sell self-contained solutions, sidestepping PCI-E entirely, at least for feeding the data from the CPU to the GPU.
Yes but my point was that situations like these are the exception not the norm, usually these batteries degrade slowly and you should be able to get at least a few hundred thousand miles out of them before it needs to be replaced (assuming you took care of it properly).

It's entirely possible for a floppy-disk to be an attack-vector.

I was ... let's say "apprehensive" ... when I heard Oracle had purchased Sun, and thus control of Java.

However, with the exception of some communication missteps around the licensing changes (which actually ended up in fully open source JDK, as opposed to the mostly open source JDK in Sun's time), Java has actually done great under Oracle.

Amazing what having resources can do for a project, eh?

I mean, I'm not thrilled with the licensing model around GraalVM (since it's another "mostly" open source situation), but business is business, I guess. I'd personally prefer that they treat it the same as Java proper, and fund it via support contracts/subscriptions.

He didn’t go to that many hospitals. He went to one and was transferred to another. The family claimed the one hospital looked for a bed for him in 43 other hospitals and was unable to find one. However, the one hospital has not confirmed this. They only confirmed that he was a patient and they were not equipped to care for him and he was transferred elsewhere.

Not saying this is the case here…but I have found that occasionally there is a level embellishment or misunderstanding among the family of folks who lost a loved one regarding the care their loved one received out of frustration and grief over the loss.

So personally I tend to read these kind stories with a grain of salt. Covid or no Covid, sometimes people die, no mater the quality of care they received.
I have a weight against my door right now because my cat can open it. And I definitely never intentionally taught him to. He has also gotten through a bungy-corded cabinet door when there was food behind it, opened a Talenti screw top container once to get the leftover ice cream inside. The last one was in the middle of the night so I have no idea how he did it without opposable thumbs, but don't underestimate food motivation in some of these animals. I saw him figure out how to open a screw top large food bin made for holding pet food, one where the screw top was big enough that you don't need thumbs. He just kept trying, over and over and over for hours, until it worked. And that was just the time I saw, not counting however many months before he had done exactly the same thing when I wasn't around. We now need to use a food container with a padlock. He can't get into that. But he still tries. Kicks it onto the floor, pushes it around, pulls at every pawhold that can be pulled on. There's a sort of infinite monkeys thing where they can just try every possible approach until something works.
Regulations or no regulations, that's just a fact. You can't have a company paying out more than it intakes, that's just basic math.

People are so quick to say "oh just raise wages" as if Uber/etc never contemplated the idea (recall we're talking about the company that popularized the idea of surge pricing for rides), but I don't think many of the armchair analysts have put an ounce of thought into what actually happens when you dictate monetary factors (let alone the gradient of effects relative to different degrees of change). Uber/Lyft were fairly clear about potential impact of employment mandates on service reliability when prop 22 was making the rounds, and I find it curious that there's simultaneously a sentiment that pre-uber service availability was crap and a sentiment that one just ought to raise prices and somehow people will get to eat their cake and have it too.

My personal data was hacked by a nation-state level agency. The only way I could’ve prevented that is by not working in a national security position for that country’s geopolitical rival.

This wasn't some smear campaign. This was me worrying about a dude that worked at 3 different Andrew Lee IRC companies while developing Ergo and prominently displayed them on his website linked from the Ergo page. It's an issue he himself said he was careful about and worth addressing. After he cleared the air I even tried joining the IRC server to check it out.

I know you have to be proactive too to prevent personal attacks but I think in this case you're a bit off the mark.

In addition, for the record... even if there were unlimited natural resources, there would still be constraints. Order on the social graph and any other ranking system would be the constraints.

Even if you crack all the way down to mathematics, there are always constraints while remaining consistent. I guess this is my root problem with your statement. Anyone who ever states anything is 100% unconstrained is missing something.

Maybe if you're God and are creating a reality from scratch, in some mystic worldview, I could grant that there are no constraints.

I run an email forwarding services https://hanami.run so I can share quite a bit about this.

Oppose with what many said, delivery to gmail.com is easisest. Now, where it's land is another question. Their spam filtering also very quick to learn.

icloud and hotmail are the worst because no way to get unblocked. You just fill in the form and wait in the dark. If you got luckly enough, they work on your ticket and unblock the ip. And here is the thing, they outright reject connection so your email cannot event reach the spam inbox.

So when launch a new IP, you should check on https://ipcheck.proofpoint.com and https://sendersupport.olc.protection.outlook.com/snds/data.a...

Any host providers that are cheap are most liklely has their IP blocked by proofpoint or microsoft already.

My strategy was to use server on Hetzner, then try to buy float IP then I can attach to any server. I have to try like 40 before I was able to get a pair of IP that aren't blocked by proofpoint/outlook.

Then I tried to warm up and build reputation by having a bunch of inbox email each others like 100 email per day then up to 1000 email per day.

Even with that I got blocked by proofpoint for no reason time by time...

So it's hard but with right strategy you can still do it. Just take more time and plan to build up and keep good reputation of your IPs.

Suppose you could pay an employee $200,000 or $150,000 + stock options.

If the two options were rationally considered equal that would mean the missing $50,000 NPV of the employee’s salary would be paid by future investors once they bought the shares. Either in an IPO or in this case by the acquiring company.

Options are also a method to retain and incentivize talent, but they’re certainly a form of funding.

The proposals aren't that you have to use a 1 click process, just that it's the default starting point. People will of course need the ability to add deductions and other information if they so choose. But for someone who just needs to fill out a normal return with information that the IRS already has, and is already using to verify that return, why on earth shouldn't we just make that automatic?

It's a massive waste of time to require millions of people needlessly fill out forms that the IRS already fills out on their end! It's a manufactured problem to benefit a scummy company.

Of course he does, tipping cost them nothing.

Tipping is not supposed to be the norm nor is it supposed to cover people's living wages.

I would be happy to tip for people that go above the line of duty but I shouldn't be tipping every worker for doing their job nor should I be guilt-tripped into doing it, especially since I need the money as well.

Damn, you're me except I did finish high school. In hindsight I very much wish I'd gotten my GED at 15 or 16 and snagged an associate's degree by age 18. Turns out non-elite college gen-ed classes are easier and have way lower time requirements than the high school I went to (which was just, like, a totally normal high school, nothing special), so it'd have been a breeze. I had no clue about that, and just (reasonably, I think?) assumed it was even harder than what I was already doing. Could have put more time in at my tech job, which was hugely valuable to my future, too.

Just a quick note... Mixed in Key is no longer necessary as both Pioneer and Serato's DJ apps include this functionality in the base, free versions.

Also, GP might want to look up the 'camelot system', which relabels keys in a simple numeric system which makes it a lot easier to determine which keys are compatible without memorizing the entire circle of fifths.

A healthy dose of legal realism here: doing something that is technically within the scope of the law as written does not fully remove the risk and expense of getting sued over it.

Maaaaybe, but I've seen what a few companies count as R&D and I wouldn't be so sure. I work in a pretty traditional SwE role, not at a pharma company (I bailed on Chem long ago when I saw the salaries). By my reckoning none of what we do should be categorized as R&D, but for tax purposes almost all of it is. Both SwE hours and lawyer hours (we have a resident lawyer). It's pretty obvious when the accountants go fishing for excuses and they always seem to be able to find them.

Whenever I hear about a pharma company getting held accountable, it's for even more egregious violations (put a token lab in every building now it's all R&D wheee).

Point is: I have my doubts.
What about if we taxed billionaires and millionaires an extra 10% on earnings related to their business assets that aren’t subject to regular income taxes? Would that be fair?
Frankly, I've expected the data to be worse, but it's also incomplete. They haven't taken into account the amount of greenhouse gases produced when the consumption of those foods is included, e.g., eating just beans is not going to decrease the total amount of greenhouse gases, because of gas producer shifts from the product to the consumer. On the other hand, it is little known that flatulence almost never happens on carnivore diet.

I have a machine with two 6TB RAID 1 arrays. I have a backup script that runs rsync against a bunch of hosts periodically to one array. Then, weekly I run borg backup from one array to the other. Between borg compression and deduplication I have months of backups on the backup array.

Then at least once a month I bring in an offsite 6TB USB drive and rsync the borg backup to it after manually reviewing that the current borg backups are “sane”.

The main advantage to this approach is that even with complete physical destruction I can access/restore anything within hours. Additionally, going back to old versions or checkpoints locally is extremely fast (seconds to minutes) no matter the file size. I also have occasions where I create/change a lot of data in the same day, to the point where a former overnight cloud backup process would occasionally fail to run because it was still running from the night before!
