For windows with test signing on it seems you may be able to replace the tables with your own generated ones similar to the OP's original attempt, but without the need to use grub. I have no idea the utility of this, considering it requires test signing and compared to the grub approach, but maybe it will come in handy to somebody someday.

But.. it is?

The JVM tracks where bytecode was loaded from, and then you can define a policy to limit what that code can do.

Yeah it's really cool, the problem is it barely runs at 30fps and there is no way in hell it's going to run at 60fps on a console.

I never had a ps4/xbone, skipped the last console cycle and stayed on PC then recently got a PS5 where every title has an option to play at 60fps. There is no way in hell the consoles are going to be able to push this fidelity at that frame rate. Let alone their promise of 120fps that has been floating around.

And the tech like nanite & lumen. It's not as if you can just "turn it off" and pick up a bunch of performance. It seems like you have to develop your game with these tools in mind.

In general I think the new consoles are going to have some trouble, even today games don't render at native 4k, they render much lower then get upsampled, and dynamic resolution is also in place to pick up the slack. The promise of 4k/60fps on a console is kind of smoke and mirrors.
IMO, what makes it high reward:

With Nix, you can programmatically describe an installation of packages (including how they're built). This then allows having multiple versions of the same package installed, easily patch (or vary build arguments) of package dependencies, an easy way to distribute or install these same sets of packages in whatever distribution of Linux (or on macOS), development shells which load the required build tools, a saner build language than Dockerfile's. With NixOS, the configuration of services can be managed from a single source.

I think for any particular task, it's more difficult to bother with Nix compared to just using some convenient solution. (e.g. using Dockerfiles to build Docker images, or using cloud-init to configure a VM setup). -- So, it's harder to say "is Nix better than <this> for <this problem>?".

And the fact that I have no idea what "Napoleonic systems" are, nor what "common law" is and how that differs from non-common law, nor what the difference would be between a "directive" and an "actual law", all shows why I won't understand that fifty thousand word spec.

Of course, I could go get an education in law. Or I could implement the cookie popup.
> factor of two of the best-in-class

Would be surprised if it didn't, and most of the time it should probably be even.

It's the edge cases that separates naive implementation from industrial usage. And off the shelf concurrent hashmaps are already pretty advanced.
I have found I don't update my PC for years but the games just keep looking better. A lot of newer techniques, Raytracing excluded, seem to be much more efficient at making good looking models without much geometry. It's all shaders, decals and image maps. Running a 1080p monitor helped that alot. I recently upgraded to a 1440p, and it has cost me frames no doubt.
How does it compare to Window Maker?
It the demo video (play through) they say it was rendered in real time right at the beginning. Also down in the corner which console its being rendered on,shows up from time to time. so I’m assuming it’s not faked.

It looks quite good. Not reality but the cityscape is pretty close..

The fun part is the end where they show the some of the secret sauce of how it was rendered.

Very true. I've literally seen this play out with some friends and cousins in extended family in the last 10-15 years. At a critical period, some had to find work to support the family especially as the health of parents started failing, the ones who could rely on family wealth were able to focus full time or almost full time on their art and are now climbing the echelons as established artists.
I think Teams is required to take 911 calls because it incorporates Skype for Business/Lync's PBX capabilities, which makes Teams basically an office phone like Cisco Jabber.

That makes me wonder if Teams on iOS can make 911 calls...
I do think it sounds like compression might be part of it.

I'm thinking that a) fio might create test data that is "trivially" compressible and b) this might occur before directio says "ignore the buffer cache and write directly to the drive", but then what gets written is 10x or 100x smaller.

Another possibility is that somehow directio doesn't work when zfs+compression is turned on?

I'd do a test where everything else is the same, but turn lz4 compression off. In theory, with a real world dataset, compression will cause CPU load to go up, but I would not expect to see the datasize at the disk go down by more than 2x to 3x, and therefore the bandwidth should not go up my anymore than that, and only if the CPU isn't the limiting factor. In most cases, compressed (or encrypted) filesystems should be slower, not faster because of this.

So a benchmark without compression would be the first step. Then maybe as a second step, a "real world" benchmark - copy 10-100GB of representative data or something like that - with and without compression to see if bandwidth goes up or down and how bad CPU utilization goes up.

Another estimate is to look at the stats that tell you what the compression ratio is. If it's really, really high, that just means fio created all-zeros, really fast.

If you're interested in social mobility, I'd highly recommend the recent book The Meritocracy Trap. [1] The author, a Yale Law professor, talks about how aristocracy has been largely replaced by meritocracy in the US, and what the consequences are for both middle class and elites.

His takeaway is that there is a yawning gap opening up between middle class and elites, and that neither group is well-served by this gap. The middle class have less mobility than before, at least when it comes to achieving super-elite levels. And the elite class work themselves to death and prompt their children to do the same.

Investing in yourself is only worth it if you are better than average. People who aren't just waste time and money trying. But if you are better than average then investing in yourself is huge. That is essentially the only reason investing in a start-up would be better than just investing in someone else's start-up, you have to bet that you are better than the other people. And then if you keep reinvesting in yourself and you are consistently better than the CEO's of big companies then you become a billionaire, but of course most people don't generate those returns when you invest in them.

FWIW, it’s unlikely AWS will ever shut down it’s Intel hardware. In a growing Cloud market, Graviton is likely just a way for AWS to access more of the semiconductor production than other clouds. They will likely keep buying from Intel at Intel’s price point, as long as it remains profitable for them.

The biggest thing not being talked about that hurts Intel is AWS’ pool of Intel CPUs that currently run S3, SQS, Dynamo, etc (m3s, c4s, etc) all being released to the public and offered at such a discount (especially on the spot market) that new onprem purchases (i.e. new Intel chips) are not cost effective.

Disclaimer: I used to work at Amazon but never in AWS. This is all based on public speculation.

CSS supported table-based layouts since CSS 2.0 which is more than 20 years old at this point. See: https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-CSS2-20080411/tables.html

If you are referring to grid, this is much more powerful than table, for example it decouples the visual order from the structural order.
Keanu Reeves Knows NFTs Are A Joke
I think you acquire much tacit knowledge by doing explicit practice. You practice and get better even though you don't really know why. The knowledge you gain then is not explicit, it is tacit.

Of course if you have a great mentor so much better. But this reminds me of the medieval guild system. You had to be an apprentice, you had to be an intern for many years. The thing is, highly skilled people could make their main goal to teach others. But economically it makes more sense for them to use that skill themselves.

Therefore we can speculate that a lot of tacit knowledge remains tacit because those who posses it don't want to share it, without good compensation, like having an apprentice who works for them for many years.

People got more impatient over the years and now expect things just to work. I had a computer shop in the late 90s (my first and only business ever) and as lot of my clients where pretty much helpful with their observations when they brought their machines for me to fix.

It is not that people were smarter, of course, but they did expect to have to dirty their hands with their stuff from time to time. Nowadays, besides all of our protests at the contrary, stuff is way more reliable and ease to use, and people got used to complicated stuff just working.
first off I phrased it somewhat weirdly, I meant to say there is a very small number of high profile professionals who are close and influential, not few overall, but the point is that a lot of deals still go through very informal, tight-knit, often secretive hands in for example the tech sector.

The 'Paypal Mafia' is I think a good example of this. It's hard to imagine you get the same number of businesses out of a dispersed, random groups on the internet. Business knowledge and success even in 'meritocratic' sectors are still depend on a lot of tacit and informal relationships.

Ok so assuming you had a system that you could give it a bunch of inputs and it would predict what the results from those would be 10 years out, and it was correct 60% of the time from past observations, and you had run it on thousands of simulations (this is obviously a hypothetical) is it then your contention that if you gave it inputs from our current inputs and had it predict results ten years from now that those predictions would not have a 60% chance of being correct?

I mean sure, since there is such a thing as an inductive gap in theory, but it seems to me from your statement that you think it to be an insurmountable obstacle in practice as well?

Not everywhere, but it is a fair point that San Francisco is hardly the only locality to see a significant increase in property crime. There are multiple cities in California in particular that have seen significant increases in property crimes, and after reading even a handful of police reports it's notable to me the number of repeat offenders who seem to travel among various cities in the Bay Area and Los Angeles.

There's definitely a dearth of hard data. But if you live in San Francisco, it's simply undeniable that the official numbers drastically underestimate the problem. This isn't merely an issue of media hype or mass hysteria. San Franciscans were already inured to car break-ins even when I first moved here ~20 years ago. Shopkeepers, especially downtown, have always dealt with significant amounts of larceny. Junkies and deranged homeless aren't exactly new, either. When we say crime and related issues like street aggression have substantially increased, it's because we see it with our very own eyes, not through stories or the media.

It doesn't much matter what's going on elsewhere, or whether you trust the police, to be able to oppose Boudin's policies. In fact, obsessing about what's going on elsewhere is part of the problem. Too many San Francisco politicians are crafting policies which address problems everywhere else but here. Even if Boudin's policies are only responsible for a fraction of the problem, they sure as heck aren't contributing to a solution. Like ring-wing ideologues in other parts of the country, many left-wing politicians here campaign on culture war issues that have almost no relevance for the city except in the most abstract terms. (Of course, there are substantial race and class issues here, but the contours and implications simply don't match those in most of the rest of the country.)
Laravel or Rails. Keep as far as you can from SPAs, they're a waste of time and never lead to a better solution unless you're building an offline first web app or something like Google Maps. A dashboard or your usual CRUD app don't need to be an SPA.

Use a full stack framework, don't reinvent the wheel. Look into Livewire, Hotwire and Unpoly. Hire people that are neither JavaScritp fanatics, nor Go fanatics, nor Kubernetes fanatics. Hire people with an open mind and focused on building your product and not obsessed on whatever they think the best tech stack is.

Unless your new project is API only (has no frontend) then don't use Django. Django is great for building backends, but its frontend solution is a joke and that really feels like something from the 90s (that's why I recommend Laravel or Rails).

Regarding infrastructure, a Dockerfile and Google App Engine is all you need. No need to build your own kubernetes cluster for a project you're just starting out.

Speaking of motion, the motion of the characters is my biggest gripe. It feels like we are making tons of progress with lighting, textures, and faces, but characters still move with all the fluidity of a stick figure. Rotoscoping still beats the pants off CG here IMO.

I don't disagree. Let me slightly backtrack on my previous statement: I think some states explicitly spell out penalties for failure to return a rental car, while in others, it may be up to the specific circumstances to determine whether a crime has taken place or whether it is a civil disagreement or misunderstanding on terms, etc.

I remember a recent rental car contract of mine that pointed out these specific state laws. e.g.: https://law.justia.com/codes/nevada/2010/title15/chapter205/...
I’d very much enjoy being young forever in a world built on collaboration than eventually die in a world where “the last people to die gets their way”.

Actually thinking about this more. Collaboration might currently be crippled because of age and death. When you know have a few more years to live, you just want to enjoy what you’ve had. When you have another 1000+ you can take a few to invest into “getting caught up to the times”.
