Running eBPF programs doesn't necessarily require compilation at runtime nor root privileges. Look into bpftool's skeleton generation as well as CAP_BPF.

With that being said, because eBPF programs can be compiled at runtime, it makes signing eBPF programs trickier. The kernel team doesn't want efforts such as bpftrace to be stifled.

It seems like the conversation on signing eBPF programs is still ongoing with an eye at looking at fsverity to help with the use cases here.
> The libraries and drivers are closed.

Yes, but that does not bother me all that much, since they are tied to that specific piece of hardware. I'm more concerned with whether they work or not and unless I'm planning to audit them or improve on them what's in them does not normally bother me, I see the combination Card+Firmware as a single unit.

> Well, no, but it does have "marketing-ware", i.e. features introduced mostly to be able to say: "Oh, we have feature X" - even if the feature does not help performance.

I'm not aware of any such features other than a couple of 'shortcuts' which you could have basically provided yourself. Beyond that NVidia goes out of its way to ship highly performant libraries with their cards for all kids of ML purposes and that alone offsets any kind of bad feeling I have towards them for not open sourcing all of their software, which I personally believe they should do but which is their right to do or not to do. I treat them the same way I treat Apple: as a hardware manufacturer. If their software is useful (NVidia: yes, Apple: no) to me then I'll take it, if not I'll discard it.
So the people that can make the company more successful are sales and marketing people, and they end up running the companies. And the product people get driven out of the decision making forums, and the companies forget what it means to make great products. The product sensibility and the product genius that brought them to that monopolistic position gets rotted out by people running these companies that have no conception of a good product versus a bad product.

They have no conception of the craftsmanship that's required to take a good idea and turn it into a good product. And they really have no feeling in their hearts, usually, about wanting to really help the customers.

-Steve Jobs
That's actually fairly similar to how humans would be influenced by showering, shaving, etc. so in some ways that's pretty impressive.
Sam is using a magic item. Compare the summary from the LOTR wiki:

> Using the Phial of Galadriel, they managed to at first fend her off. The light of Eärendil's Star shone from the Phial, causing unbearable stabbing pain to Shelob's darkened senses, but she returned to attack Frodo, poisoning him with her stinger in a surprise attack just as they reached the exit of the cave on the Mordor side. Her venom paralyzed Frodo, and she then wrapped him in her web.

> Sam then assaulted the creature using Sting and the Phial of Galadriel in order to rescue his master. In a pitched battle, Sam managed to stab one of her eyes and injure her leg, but she held the upper hand. However, when she tried to use her stinger to inject Sam with venom, he dodged at the last moment and was able to stab her in the abdomen with Sting. This wounded her enough that Sam forced her to retreat using the Phial of Galadriel.
As oliwander says (at least in the movie), “after all, he who must not be named did great things. Terrible, to be sure, but great nonetheless.”
I'm worried that apps that does not honor user's privacy would just leave App Store and have users sideload their app. Sometimes users have very little choice about whether or not to use certain phenomenal IM/social apps since everyone is using them and it would be a problem if they can now force user to sideload their unrestricted/unaudited version.
it would control a software arm operating on a software body, just like a flight sim controls a software plane.
I was hoping that this article would go into deeper techniques than just interpolation and splines.

I would be cool to see an example of how a Kalman filter approach would compare in terms of precision and latency. My expectation is that it would be the best of both worlds.
Yes, unfortunately, this is very common. I'm in South Texas (for a few more weeks before I move) and my municipal ordinance requires homes to have a grass lawn and for it to be maintained. No HOA here (main reason I bought this house). I pay a lawn service company monthly to manage it for me, because it's a huge pain otherwise due to the climate.

Season 4 was when things started going downhill with the "writing" team, and that plot armor is one of the major reasons. But it most definitely wasn't a lie before that or in the books.

I think the issue is not that quality doesn't matter. If any, it matters more than anything.

The issue is, execs have no idea at all of what is quality. In fact, they more often than not lower the quality of the films and series with their changes.

Similarly there is some good research about this regarding Amazon. In short, if you tried to mimic Amazon's UX as a ecommerce startup, you'd probably fail:

Paradoxically, Amazon's design may work well for Amazon itself. The company is simply so different from other ecommerce sites that what's good for Amazon is not good for normal sites.[0]

If you look at the original pitch GRRM gave for ASOIAF, many of the plot points never happened (like Jamie murdering everyone ahead of him, blaming Tyrion, and taking the throne for himself).

You say that the problem is the execution. I think it goes deeper. It's impossible to execute. GRRM knew this about many plot points and that's why he changed his mind about many things by the time he had to expand on those specific plot points.

> Bran ending up on the throne kinda makes sense

If he ever gets to the end, I'm certain he'll see that this doesn't make any sense.

Or at least he won't write the same bullshit the show gave us: "he deserves the throne because he has the best story". I still want to throw the TV at the wall when I think about that.
Absolutely, this is why everyone uses GWT. It's FAANG level work!
You can see why the social sciences behemoth used to shore up <whatever you need to justify today> is a bit of a laughing stock. Retrofitting whatever facts you can engineer to meet the agenda you want to prove.

> Organizations with above-average diversity in management see 19% higher innovation revenue than companies with below-average diversity in management.

I can think of about 3 or 4 explanations for that not related to the implied causal/casual effect the author imposes.

Lets be clear why this article exists. It is not to encourage diversity in the workplace but to encourage the massive and increasingly onerous burden of diversity and inclusion staff in HR and HR adjacent non job management structures. It's a huge money spinner for consultancies as well as the individuals in that church. A side effect of the massive growth in university soft subjects since circa 2000.

The NHS in the UK is the most diverse organisation on the planet and every week there are new job postings like this: https://i.imgur.com/x0s0Fr2.png - jobs that do nothing, achieve nothing, add nothing to the outcomes of patients.

This isn't about diversity (which is a natural facet of the composition of modern societies reflected in differing companies employment demographics) but about a new gravy train that exploits large state central control (thus the demands for more regulation) to self bolster enormous parallel structures that have no relationship to company performance. Thus the endless desperate need to self justify their existence - even as clumsily as this.
This web page is a sycophant. It told me I looked 15 years younger than I do, and said my attractiveness was several points higher than empirical evidence from my 54 years of life have told me is the case. But it did also call me a liar, so not totally a sycophant I guess.

There are lots of small towns across the US where it has not worked out.

I spent a couple years in Macomb, IL when I was a kid. Take a look at that place on Street View.

Overall population growth is mostly what has allowed for things to “work out” previously, but as the rate of growth slows down or even goes negative for the first time in recent history, the necessary conditions may not hold anymore for things to “work out”.
I'm getting the sense that this is a conversation between a neurotypical person and a neurodivergent person and that is the source of the disconnect between our understandings.
This is not an exploit in itself, but could be very useful for pivoting and privilege escalation (across the network). You have to have already achieved root on the target machine, but once you have obtained that you want to start pivoting to other machines which may not have vulnerabilities you can exploit.

The first thing I usually do is dump the /etc/shadow file and start up hashcat on it. However this is a very slow and often unsuccessful approach. With a tool like this, I would still dump the /etc/shadow file but I would also fire this thing up so I can obtain passwords as people log in.

The reason this is useful is because most people reuse passwords across other systems. If I can get the password they use for this system, chances are I just gained access to other systems. The mitigation/defense against this is to always use unique passwords. I'm already root on this box so getting your password benefits me nothing if it's a unique password that you haven't used elsewhere.

Exactly, it is the target. The later phrase pointed out in the original comment it to be some sort of dependency for runtime use, making the confusion. While it is not related to runtime code functionality at all.
My town has no interest in operating garbage service. A few of the area villages do have village-provided garbage service and often the quality and cost is less than the private companies, but it seems garbage service is not a big enough deal for people to try and unite over it.

Pools and structures like decks or sheds are regulated by the building code of the town, but they do not impact your property value for property taxes. Pools specifically also don't seem to impact property value when you sell, a pool is only useful here for 3 months of the year and lots of people don't want to deal with maintaining them. I would happily pay an HOA to take care of a nice neighborhood pool instead of maintaining my own but I've never seen a local single-family home neighborhood with a community pool here.
Demo of including 4 OPML files in a single file (opmlPackage by Dave Winer)
Mechanically it's easy to see and understand how this happens. What triggered it is a mystery, though, since the river that feeds it is not moving at any significant velocity.

It is common on icy ponds. In this case, the island itself is more solid than its surrounding, so they are basically operating like a set of gears, while the harder middle one is wearing down at a slower rate than the "outer gear," that is ground to a near perfect circle.

Theoretically after a long time the island will be too small, or the outer ring too large, to keep up that grinding inertia, so you'll end up with a floating or sunken circular island in a perfectly circular lake.

The "malicious actors" argument can be made anywhere people have freedom of association. The postal system, the phone system, even the mere right to walk out your front door. These all allow people to associate with whoever they please, and they all expose people to malicious actors.
Yep, and it’s why building codes are usually more rigorous in northern states. The approach to homebuilding in the south is to assemble our flimsy, leaky boxes as quickly as possible and slap an oversized AC on it.
didn't mean to only be unfair to my kind, just a UX trait to not speak on the behalf of or make assumptions about other's motivations without direct domain knowledge or research.
Yes and no, for example, they have no blood circulation anymore, thus one of the potentially fatal risks of any surgery - bleeding - can't be "trained" there.
> Institutionalized 3p developers should be treated like adversaries; they are vile, nefarious tricksters. They’re just as “monstrous” as Apple or Google are purported to be.

This is a sentiment that I honestly wished was most discussed here. Developers are not.user.friendly. They’re money friendly. I don’t do , ever, expect them to put user rights over monetary gain and expect them to 100% sell out user data if there’s a big enough user incentive. Web developers would rather use Chrome backed APIs that allow them to do whatever they want, even if damns the web and user privacy.
Filings from the chassis stamper, which yours certainly were given the combination of circumstances and vendor, are present when the machine is installed. If you’re buying racks, your integrator inspects them. If you’re buying U, you do. It’s a five minute job to catch your thank-God-my-career-was-short story before the machine is even energized, which I know because I’ve caught the same thing from the same vendor twice. (It’s common; notice several comments point to it.) Why do you think QC benches have magnifiers and loupes? It’s a capital expenditure and an asset, so of course it’s rigorously inspected before the company accepts it, right? That’s not strange, is it?

You can point at Google and speak in abstracts but it doesn’t address the point being made, nor that your rationale for your extreme position on cloud isn’t as firm as you thought it was. Is Dropbox the only time you’ve worked with hardware? I’m genuinely asking because manufacturing defects can top 5% of incoming kit depending on who you’re dealing with. Google knew that when they built Platform A. The lie of cloud is that dismissing those problems is worth the margin (it ain’t; you send it back, make them refire the omelette, and eat the toast you baked into your capacity plan while you wait).
Passive houses are much easier to build in cold climates than warm. Your analysis left out that the occupants and their machines generate heat.

"Together with the comprehensive energy conservation measures taken, this means that a conventional central heating system is not necessary, although they are sometimes installed due to client skepticism." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_house#Space_heating .

No, (North American) suburbs are fundamentally different to small towns. They don't have their own retail or small businesses, they're just places where people live and commute into the city.
Are they really duty bound to disclose this? What about fire, flood, earthquake and any other risk. My experience is they don't, other than legally mandated things like asbestos or lead.
In a lot of composites, the titular material isn't the main material. It's almost always glue instead. Which is fine, but one of the drawbacks is the thing is usually heavier and stiffer than you would imagine.

Here it's rabbit glue, which is probably a type of hide glue?
I don't think it's the "outrage machine" when to continue doing something you have done for thirty-some years you are suddenly required to spend thousands of dollars during a time when construction is at the height of inflated prices. That sounds pretty reasonable. The smallest amount of empathy would go a long way here.
That depends entirely on what the cattle are being fed. If they are grazing pasture that cannot be planted in row crops (e.g. too hilly, too gravelly), or if they are eating the waste products of other food production (e.g. corn stalk silage), then they are eating calories that would never have been available for human consumption.
You're right, I mean, this was the vision for Multics. They would rent computing as a utility to all the businesses, big and small, backed by their computers. At the time it didn't pan out but it was definitely a desire.
As the other commenter posted you have solar effects, and as I stated you have other things that are putting off excess heat.

For me even when it is 25 outside occupied my home will settle at about 40-50 or so with no heat, due to just cooking, lighting, compters, TV etc that are all outputing heat...

so the delta I am attempting to heat is not really 25 to 70, but more like 50 to 70 due to the waste heat and solar heating effect

For cooling I am not not only battling the outside delta, but also all of that waste heat and solar heating effects
That isn't the original patent. That is a modified post-1940 version, as i mentioned.

Ctrl+Alt+Del invokes WinLogon, the highest priority process, that then delivers the task manager. I believe this is a kernel invocation, so regardless of user land dysfunction, it will always work. Tthis is possibly attributable as much to convenience as it is to security -- the Secure Attention Sequence[1] is intended as a login-spoofind protection which will suspend other tasks (like a spoofed login screen) before continuing forward with user auth.

There's many designs that are used all over. I like my cabin's privy and going to do some upgrades to make it odourless: solar powered exhaust fan.

In the desert where the water table is hundreds of feet below you (and getting lower!), groundwater contamination isn't exactly an issue.

But there's also composting toilets and incinerating toilets that exist. A fancy incinerating toilet costs like $5k (Cinderalla toilet, I'm looking at you!), but I'm sure they'll cost a fraction of that in time. But there is an electricity cost to each 'flush' then.
I think it's a mistake to just drop most of the data and then try to rebuild the lost data afterwards.

Nothing requires you send just a set of points across. A better approach is to transform and compress the data BEFORE sending it across the wire. This way you get the benefit of using all the available data to create a more accurate simplification.

For example, each update take your cursor point set and construct a bezier curve that best fits the data.

tbf Tolkien himself tries to explain it as a mixture of desperation and loyalty to Frodo, a super elven sword and the spider impaling herself in an ill-fated attacking move. Doesn't really come across in the film. :)

I'm not sure where good storytelling comes into men in films dodging bullets and beating up dozens of assailants or why the stylised violence suddenly becomes less believable because the person winning against improbable odds is female though. Or where the Tolkein original plotline involving a woman with a broken arm defeating a Nazgûl lord so strong it's prophecied no man can kill him in a swordfight fits into woke propaganda trends :D
