Quite interesting problem. It is indeed a contradiction to make a service use all the CPUs on a system, and, at the same time have an upper limit over how much CPU utilisation they can do.

The thread pool size negotiation seems a necessary fix - applications shouldn't be pre calculating their pool sizes on their own anyway. But you get additional (smaller) problems, like giving more or less threads to some service depending on their priority.

One of the big problems here as I understand it is trying to use a resource whose "size" changes dynamically (Max CPU usage on a cgroup, which can change depending on whether other prioritised service is currently running or not) with a fixed sized resource (nr of threads when a service starts).

As the number of cores per CPU grows, I wonder if this whole approach of scheduling tasks based on their CPU "usage" makes any sense. At some point, the basic scheduling unit should be one core, and tasks should be assigned a number of core units on the system for a given time.
This is possibly irrelevant to practice: But is perturbation confusion a problem which affects reverse-mode autodiff as well as forward-mode autodiff? With dual-number based approaches, the usual solution is tagging, but this is known to be incorrect when higher order functions get used.

For people who don't know, perturbation confusion is a problem that affects naive implementations of autodiff where derivatives of order bigger than 1 are not computed correctly.

> would be really happy to see some good open source compilers with extensible encoding support being listed here

This is a shameless plug, and not a compiler per se, but it's pretty close[0]. It's a codec framework for ASN.1 in Rust similar to `serde` for other formats if you're aware of that. It uses Rust's traits to define seperate layers for the codec model, and the encoding rules, allowing you to have one model used with many encodings, and share one decoder & encoder for all models. Extensibility just uses the regular Rust `#[non_exhaustive]` attribute. It doesn't support formats like A/UPER yet, but that is coming in the next year. :)

I own a website www.Photopea.com, visited by 3 million people a month.

Once in a while, I enable adblock detector, and do not allow usrers with adblocks use the service. I wish everyone was doing that.

When you see someone willing to give you a car (or anything else), but they want money in exchange (i.e. sell it to you), you understand, that it is wrong to take the car without giving them money (i.e. stealing).

But when you see someone willing to give you an article, a poem, a song, a funny video, but they want you to watch the ad in exchange, lots of people think it is fine to break their conditions.

It is extremely easy to detect ad blockers on the web. I wish website creators stopped tolerating ad blockers. People would finally learn to watch ads, or pay for stuff, and the creators would be able to create much better content.
Why stop at ads though? I should just have a personalized algorithm that filters all real-world content I see, or otherwise sanitizes it for my consumption. For example, apply beauty filters to everyone around me so I don't have to deal with the unpleasantness of ugly people. Block out any noise that might trigger discomforting thoughts, like political opinions that I disagree with.

If it sounds dystopian, well.. once we're used to it, having to experience the ugliness of an unfiltered world would surely seem more dystopian. Right?
France is a serious problem case. Getting funded there from official sources depends more on your pedigree than anything else. Also, the funding there tends to come with some serious strings attached. If I were to operate a start-up in France I would look outside of France for funding.
Assuming the 500 instances are something like m5.4xlarge, the on-demand cost would be $3M. You save something on reserved instances, but have other excessive costs like egress, so that should be the right order of magnitude.

So why do you limit a project that's supposed to save $1M+ to a cost of $50k or so?
The point is that it's not much of a path when you start at $100k. If you're earning $100k with zero experience, your salary cap is likely to be pretty high.

With a starting salary that high I think you're very likely to easily achieve financial independence, barring a catastrophic fuck up.
Fusion research spending is de minimis.

For the past decade, total US spending has been at or below $600 million/year, or 0.003% of total US GDP. Even with my low expectations of success or viability, the research itself is worth pursuing. US spending is a large fraction of global fusion spending, and though I don't have an aggregate total, it is also in all likelihood too small to matter.

http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2021/ph241/margraf1/

There are vastly larger areas of expenditure that are far more harmful to achieving a sustainable, renewable, carbon-neutral energypath. Pressent fossil-fuel based infrastructure and exploration is among the leading candidates. You should be focusing your ire there, or other similarly significant areas.
You then end up paying London rent…

> Your risk of getting hospitalised with SARS-CoV-2 (any variant) depends on two things?
1. how likely are you to get infected?
2. what is your chance of getting hospitalised once infected

> In simple terms, because omicron can escape immunity from past infections and vaccines, your protection against infection against omicron is vastly lower than with delta. This means risk of 1. is vastly increased- as you're less protected & also v. high background transmission.

> > We have vaccines that work for a limited time

> This is flat out FALSE.

Allow me to rephrase: We have vaccines that protect us from severe diseases and hospitalizations (what you wrote after and which I mostly agree with) but its efficacy for milder symptoms wane after some months. And mild symptoms that translates into perma brain fog and other conditions is not something I want to take my chance with.

Most likely, if the best case scenario happens, I'd still take they yearly covid shot.

> but hospitalization rates and death rates are plummeting. That is the human humoral immune system working.

Not what's happening in countries around me. UK (17%), France (175%), Germany, Finland are seeing hospitalizations rise up again.

It remains to be seen if this is the last wave and you are right or if it's now the new normal.

Whatever the cause, considering the damages a mild covid can have, this is not a virus you want to wreak havoc on your system too many times in your life. Killer t-cells are fun but you don't want your immune system in perpetual immune response mode.

edit: regarding protection against severe form (we should be talking of consequences rather than form): vaccines had a ~95-97% efficacy. With Omicron, even tough it stays high, it doesn't stay that high. What worries me is that we are talking yearly flu shots but covid will likely require 6 months booster shots if you want to keep riding the vaccine for protection against all form/consequences.

I read some more about the effect of sunlight on the telescope structure and the optics. They would actually be damaged beyond use by direct sunlight, which is one of the factors that they had to take into account when launching the JWST:

"The James Webb Space Telescope is launched on a direct path to an orbit around the second Sun-Earth Lagrange Point (L2), but it needs to make its own mid-course thrust correction maneuvers to get there. This is by design, because if Webb gets too much thrust from the Ariane rocket, it can’t turn around to thrust back toward Earth because that would directly expose its telescope optics and structure to the Sun, overheating them and aborting the science mission before it can even begin. Therefore, Webb gets an intentional slight under-burn from the Ariane and uses its own small thrusters and on-board propellant to make up the difference."

This is a very delicate machine.

Ugh, no. JSON is garbage, especially from a security standpoint. For security purposes you want an unambiguous format with a well-defined canonical representation that's easy to parse. Not only is JSON none of these things, many people labor under the mistaken assumption that it's saner than it really is and even quite experienced people get bitten in the ass by that: https://github.com/endojs/endo/issues/115

Quoting http://seriot.ch/projects/parsing_json.html:

In conclusion, JSON is not a data format you can rely on blindly. I've demonstrated this by showing that the standard definition is spread out over at least seven different documents (section 1), that the latest and most complete document, RFC-8259, is imprecise and contradictory (section 2), and by crafting test files that out of over 30 parsers, no two parsers parsed the same set of documents the same way (section 4).

Here's an example of an actually simple format where it's easy to define a canonical representation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_S-expressions; it was used for SPKI (https://theworld.com/~cme/html/spki.html) which sadly never went anywhere but is much more pleasant than the ASN.1/X.509/JWT etc mess that actually won.

I hate ads and I never understood the „watch ads to get content“ business plan. Why not just provide demo content and ask users to pay for full access? By relying on ads for revenue, you basically invite adblockers. After all, if people didn’t like them, they wouldn’t exist.

Maybe. We own our flat in Zone 1 (Soho, 48k down payment, 12k closing costs) after 5 years saving, mortgage is 2.29% ~ 1900 a month. Save about 2500 a month. The one thing I will say is that the "single tax" certainly exists in London, and I find my situation affordable because I have no kids, and my partner brings in an other £35k or so. If we wanted a 3 bedroom or something, forget about it. That's when it becomes absurd to live in central and totally prohibitive.

Also, my experience with London companies + recruiters in the last 3 months has been that permanant remote roles have been cropping up. I would say its about 50/50 of whether a job requires any on prem time, and about 90/10 that the job requires 1-2 days a week on prem.

The Xbox has been hard to buy for plus Microsoft have been pushing PC gaming again lately. Thus I know of a few Xbox fans that have decided to shift back to PC gaming as a result.

Compare that to the Switch which is selling significantly more than the Oculus, has the worst support for “VR” out of any of the listed, and is the lowest end hardware (bar the Oculus) too and the real conclusion one can make is that graph is that casual gaming is still a massively lucrative industry.
I don’t understand why you can’t just load traditional ads related to your business that no ad blocker would work out of the box against.

If I visit a website about cars, one could put up car ads because it’s obviously in my interests at this point.

I don’t visit websites that require me to block my adblocker for the simple reason that it means they have no other monetizable content apart from me, and as I didn’t even get to their magnet content yet I have no idea how the website feels, which makes me not so open to sharing my data fingerprint.
