In many cases it's not necessary though. Most "pro" audio interfaces support MacOS because they are "class compliant" and therefore don't need extra drivers on MacOS. You could also say "no major audio interface company releases MacOS drivers".

Linux should support all these "class compliant" audio interfaces too, but I can't remember if you need extra software (like JACK?) for this.

> even offered to transfer me to his supervisor, which is not something a scammer would usually be able to do, but I had not yet actually challenged any of it.

This tactic is actually used by so many scammer, it's weird that a scam prevention expert is saying that kind of things. His sentence prove how effective transferring it to someone else is powerful, how could they transfer us to a supervisor?!

They are working in call centers, they just give their phone to someone else, often time someone with more experience with scams thus better to convince you. In some case I have seen situation where they use that tactic as good cop / bad cop, where the first one is threatening, this bad thing will happens if you don't act quick, etc... and the next one is more on your side, he believe you, but you need to works with him. I even seen some where they say that they have no other choice but to open a police report with your local police, and ask you your local police phone number, act like they talk with them on a second phone (as if they couldn't put you on hold and initiate the call directly on their system) and then say that the police want to talk with you and they will call you directly (I guess using fake caller id again but with the police phone number).

It's all part of their tactic.
This is what I'd like to see attempted more seriously, as I think it solves the problem more appropriately.

That may be because there was a significant quality control issue a few years ago where the solvent used in some liquid vape cartridges was causing serious lung problems.

I don't remember the details, but I have heard dry vape lauded as a safer alternative, since there are no additives or solvents involved, meaning you only have to worry about pesticides and fertilizers.
> for example, maybe it would have just been easier to flat-out introduce the concept of transactions, if you're already going to write a verifier to check every incoming program

Could you elaborate on this? Loading the program is a one time operation. The actual evocation is dependent on the program type and its location in the kernel. I do not believe there is a blanket way to describe how eBPF interacts with the VM or its concurrency model.

To your second point about verification, yes this is something that is actively being worked on. with BTF and CO-RE we've made huge strides over module loading, however, and eBPF already has many advantages over use cases where people were forced to load bespoke kernel bypass modules.
And also its security!
Indeed. I intended it more as a complement than an argument against your post.

>if your service allows people to jointly apply for something, you might need to refer to both the user and the person they’re applying with. In these cases, use the person’s name, ‘they’ or ‘their’.

This is incorrect. We are talking about government services. Language needs to be precise. There are cases where there is a difference between an individual, a couple, and a group of 3 or more. There is also a very tricky case for non-native speakers and those that are not aware of the culture from which these nuances arise.

The guidance must direct the implementors to use specific language. If confronting a situation in which a pronoun gives rise to ambiguity, do not use a pronoun. So, "if your service allows people to jointly apply for something," define it. Is it "your service allows two people to jointly apply," or "your service allows a group of people to apply," or something else? Using "they" is inappropriate. Something like "you and the other individual" is appropriate.

You can live in real estate and get dividends from stocks. Cryptocurrencies are more similar to commodities: gold, wheat, coal. (You can consume wheat and coal, yes, but that consumes them and then you don't have them anymore; that's not profit.)
This is how macOS is designed. macOS has over 100 kexts in a fresh install (IIRC) to keep the main kernel as small and error-free as reasonably possible without being a full microkernel and taking the performance hit that causes. This makes it a Hybrid kernel, neither a full microkernel (safety at cost of performance) or monolithic kernel (performance at cost of safety).

Other hybrid kernels include Windows and BeOS, though on Windows the kernel/extension separation is less clearly defined.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_kernel

> "Microsoft move drivers, such as GPU, to user space, to escape exactly issues like these. This is likely done for the sake of DRM, which is even worse."

Heck... NO. Drivers are still in kernel space like ever. I don't know where you got that impression. Windows isn't a microkernel, it's got plenty of kernel drivers for everything. Only UMDF Drivers are userspace, and while there are many of them, none of them are as complex as a GPU. A GPU Driver in userspace on Windows would be massively performance bottlenecked. Microsoft even states in their documentation "File system drivers, display drivers (for full display devices, not display-only display devices), and print drivers cannot be UMDF drivers."

People still don't understand cryptocurrencies, and at this point it seems more like intentional obtuseness for political reasons.

At the same time, cryptocurrencies still haven't provided a killer app that shuts everyone up. So, IMO that's the only real thing that matters. Either you build something with it that's useful - or it isn't useful.

I understand that it's difficult because of all the infrastructure required (much of which still doesn't exist), but that's where all efforts should be. Create a consumer service that people want.

Otherwise, if the idea is that it's simply a trade-off of the speed/efficiency for otherwise mundane services in order to make them decentralized, then stop hyping it and let it become a parallel structure - or underground system that some people use.

I'm not sure that human "general intelligence" is a thing in the first place.

Human behavior and cognition is driven by biological and cultural processes, which are the result of millions of years of evolution and billions of arbitrarily complicated proteins all interacting on one another. Is a computer going to emulate every part of that?

Despite what we think about our minds being rational, autonomous, operating according to a set of coherent principles, etc., I'm not sure that's really the case at the end of the day.

I'm having trouble to understand how this can be true. It seems like every human should have equal numbers of male and female ancestors, e.g. by induction on how many generations back you look.

Haven't seen any so far, which is the best thing.
Speaking of alternative representations of eBPF programs, one thing I've noticed about eBPF is that it's particularly well suited to asymmetric number system (ANS)-based compression (such as Facebook's zstd). Asymmetric number systems require compression of buffers in the opposite order that they're decompressed. In eBPF, all branches need to jump forward, so if you're compressing the byte stream backwards, you always already know the offset in the compression stream of all valid branch targets.

You'd need a first pass to find branch targets, so that you only remember the necessary bookkeeping information for branch targets as you're compressing, and the representation of branch targets takes some more space (an offset plus internal state of the ANS state machine), but a combination of eBPF and ANS-based compression still seems like a good match for a bytecode that's executed while it's being decompressed.

The table-based variants of ANS seem particularly well suited to hardware/FPGA implementation. I remember some papers IBM published showing good results in improving POWER code density for embedded applications by building some hard-wired Huffman tree based decompression into the MMU.

Vitalik proposed a theory that the toxicity is a valid and perhaps even necessary defense mechanism.

I don't pretend to know whether Vitalik's theory is true, but it certainly seems plausible. And defending linux from bad actors is a herculean task. If Torvald's toxicity helped him in that endeavor, his apology would be a negative development.

Interestingly, the Rust community has had incredible success being explicitly anti-toxic. It's a wonderful community that I enjoy. Rust is also now reaching a level importance that it will be a target to be coopted as described by Vitalik, as prominent members of the Rust community have expressed concern over [0].

Perhaps someone knows more, but from what I can see, my conclusion is no.

The search box says "First and/or Last Name"

The tips at https://1950census.archives.gov/search/ say:

> Tip #1: Search for the first and last name of the head of household (plus state and county of residence if known) because the surname was written on the census form only on the line for the head of household and other persons in the household with a different surname.

> Tip #3: You don't have to know the exact spelling of a person's name in order to perform a name search. Enter as much as you know. The search engine will return any close variations or matches.

The FAQ also adds:

> Is there a name index to the 1950 Census?
> Yes, researchers will be able to search the 1950 census by name. Please note that the name index will not be 100% accurate because it is based on optical character recognition (OCR) and artificial intelligence/machine learning. The website will feature a transcription tool to enable users to submit name updates, which will improve the accuracy of the name index and make the records more accessible for everyone.

No, rather that the education opportunities in rural areas are rather scarce and underfunded (because school funding depends on the number of citizens, which is lower in rural areas), and as a result the education outcomes are worse (see above).
I ran into basically these exact issues (and a few more) while living/working from Airbnbs for 6 months last year.

So, I built a Chrome extension called Offie that helps other remote workers using Airbnb view info about Wifi and workspaces from the search page:

After launching the Chrome extension we realized that to actually solve these problems will require a managed marketplace where all properties are vetted to have fast, reliable Wifi and high-quality workspaces.

> Yeah, I have multiple sets of some of these sounds in WAV format, as do many others. Hard to believe anything about them is "endangered"

I would say sounds that exist mainly as WAVs on someone's computer are properly endangered.

The point I was making is that some of these sounds are from things (mainly video games) that will be endlessly (and easily) recycled forever, so they aren't actually endangered. Others, from formerly ubiquitous but now utterly obsolete hardware and software, are truly engendered.
