Can these just be shared memory all the way through or in your case, the persistence to disk at fork time is important?
Only true when good faith can be assumed. In an internet of twitter hot-takes and pile-ons this is not the case.

Could an independent body create a spec that cables can be certified against? Like Apple's MFi Program?

Seems like there is a market for cables that are easy to identify.
A few suggested changes to the instructions:

/opt/homebrew/bin/python3 -m venv venv # [1, 2]
venv/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt # [3]
venv/bin/python scripts/txt2img.py ...

1. Using /opt/homebrew/bin/python3 allows you to remove the suggestion about "You might need to reopen your console to make it work" and ensures folks are using the just installed via homebrew python3, as opposed to Apple's /usr/bin/python3 which is currently 3.8. It also works regardless of the user's PATH. We can be fairly confident /opt/homebrew/bin is correct since that's the standard homebrew location on Apple Silicon and folks who've installed it elsewhere will likely know how to modify the instructions.

2. No need to install virtualenv since Python 3.6 which ships with a built-in venv module which covers most use cases.

3. No need to source an activate script. Call the python inside the virtual environment and it will use the virtual environment's packages.
V. Vale exists? I always just thought they were a cohort of sorts.

Heartily recommend that pranks book.
That is an anecdotinal data point.. I live in a building with 6 units in the Mission district of SF. Until a few years ago my neighbours were people: families, (gay) couples,.. We now have 3 startups in our building. One of the startup (YC-backed!) moved out yesterday. The guys just threw what they didn't want into the street from the windows of their second floor apartment. And disappeared, leaving a filthy mess on the pavement.
I am so glad Biden plans on giving these schools a massive handout by forgiving student debt /s
I can't actually tell if these prices are in aussie or US dollars, seems like an oversight not to mark it somewhere

edit: i am actually very stupid
That's where I think you're wrong. The West had a chance to to alter history in 1991, instead Russia was treated like a loser (much like Germany was at the end of WWI and we know how that turned out). To quote a review of a biography of Gorbachev by The Economist from a few years ago:

"Even when Mr Gorbachev accepted the fall of the Berlin Wall, the unification of Germany and ultimately its membership of NATO, Mr Bush would play to Mr Gorbachev’s weakness for wanting to be lionised, but felt no obligation to help Russia financially or accommodate him politically. “To hell with that! We prevailed. They didn’t. We can’t let the Soviets clutch victory from the jaws of defeat,” he said to Helmut Kohl, Germany’s chancellor. This triumphalism was misplaced and would later backfire on America.

Mr Taubman argues that those in power in the West lacked the vision and will to extend a Marshall-type plan to Mr Gorbachev’s Soviet Union (and later to Yeltsin’s Russia). Those who had it were no longer in power. In 1991 Mrs Thatcher appealed to Mr Bush: “We’ve got to help Mikhail…Just a few years back, Ron and I would have given the world to get what has already happened here.” If the West did not come to Mr Gorbachev’s aid, she argued, “history will not forgive us.”" [1]

Had a roommate in graduate school whose friend listed his car (and phone number) on craigslist for a ridiculously low price. His phone was ringing off the hook for like two days until he was able to get it taken down.
Germans did that too. Invasion of Poland, (whose anniversary is today) was Case White. Case Yellow was the invasion of France, etc...
I think I'm out of my depth at this point actually, and maybe shouldn't have opined as readily as I did on the pragmatists. I did a little recap of where I'd encountered the pragmatists before and realised I only read Royce, who was a friend and interlocutor of James. But I don't think he could be called a member of the pragmatist school, so I shouldn't take the impressions I got from him to be representative!

The impression I had of pragmatism was that it made claims about absolute truth or reality. That's where I felt things were taken a little too far. But the impression I have may be a caricature or misunderstanding on my part.

Deutsch has a fair bit to say about instrumentalism in Beginning of Infinity which I will leave to the interested reader to discover.
This is the new Republican strategy. If you lose an election, claim it's illegitimate. Details don't matter, there must have been some kind of fraud or the Republican would have won. Ipso facto. Quod erat demonstrandum. Cave canem.

Just last week my old Dell XPS died and I was wishing these were available in Australia. Really glad I was a bit slow to pick out a replacement! Got my preorder placed.
My 3 year old cannot open the fridge, she doesn't have the strength/dexterity. She cannot open lids either. She cannot fix any kind of meal without making a mess. With play-doh she pretends to make meals and definitely makes a mess (and enjoys herself tremendously in the process).

She absolutely cannot go to the supermarket to buy anything, and she cannot cross the street either.

A 3 year old doing all those things... I'm willing to believe some can, but it's definitely not the norm, and not because we don't let them. They just can't.
If you're a company and you see github commits through firewall, why take the chance unless he's really really good?
i don’t know what you are talking about. audio interfaces never went away. they became external due to USB and firewire. and creative stopped making them. pro audio companies primarily make and sell them now as they did back then. RME and MOTU are some examples.

Okay so you don't know and if we look at the numbers this is just fear mongering.
What I worked on was all bespoke in-house developed software written in PL/1
It could be shared memory all the way through, but the memory of the original VM should become read-only once a cloned VM starts reading from it. So then both VMs (the original VM and the new VM) should put their writes in a new CoW layer.

Using XFS with CoW has been the easiest way to enable this, but if there's a way that we can do this purely in-memory, that would be even faster.

That said, for hibernation we would still have to persist to disk, but timing is less important there.
It has not been done in earnest in Vancouver. There's a 15 point 'one time' fee but it likely should be more, and/or an ongoing assessment i.e. higher annual taxes. Moreover, Canada gives away citizenship like candy and families have their kids live there.

AirBnB is still running strong as well, which should be much more heavily taxed.
I suspect there's no easy solution to this.

As a power user, of course I prefer to connect to devices directly rather than through a sketchy cloud service.

But we've also got to acknowledge that the networked security cameras of 15 years ago regularly ended up making their videos public to anyone with a web browser - or becoming part of a DDOS botnet. So I can see why manufacturers aren't in a hurry to ask users to forward ports from their home firewalls any more.
Yup, V. Vale certainly exists and sells his RE/Search publications pretty regularly outside of City Lights bookstore in SF!
He has a table he set up on the sidewalk and is very friendly and full of great anecdotes.
Yeah you don't have to read assembly. But a higher level abstraction of a non-compiled language like python. The leakage occurs and is shown through performance.
There's still a lot of interest in the retro computing community - keropi and marmes (http://pcmidi.eu) have built a few cards, including what many view as an ultimate retro sound card, the Orpheus, which uses some OG components such as the YMF289B OPL3 and has wavetable daughterboard expandability. While it's new, it's true to the character and spirit of the 1990's cards, with the benefit of modern manufacturing and better quality components than Creative were using at the time. Looking forward to the Orpheus II! https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=88957
You're making my point for me. Recent Pixels are basically the only well-known Android phones in the US market that _aren't_ using Qualcomm SoCs, and they're a very small share of the US market. That gives Qualcomm more leverage, not less, in shaping the future of Android devices.
When I look at comparisons like this, one of the first red flags I check for is
binary size. First SQLite:

https://sqlite.org/2022/sqlite-tools-win32-x86-3390200.zip

Result: "1,108,480 sqlite3.exe". Then DuckDB:

https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/releases/download/v0.4.0/du...

Result: "32,052,736 duckdb.exe" (already stripped)

To me, this says that SQLite is a carefully considered codebase, with great
care put into making a lean and high quality piece of software. While DuckDB
seems to have the hallmark of bloated C++ code, with plenty of waste, and little
care to these details.
Most likely they're going to be prohibited from telling you. The best way to do this is to take [person] out for a round of beers. Wait until 3 beers in and see what their number is.

My belief is that 20%-30% of what you're making is a fair number.

Though if it's somewhere where you could really get a foothold and make a lot of money as an employee, 50% might be acceptable.
Human vision is way more information heavy than human hearing. Just how our species is physically.

When the Realtek chips become good enough for audio consumers in 00s, the market for dedicated sound cards no longer exist there. Of course, they still exist for audio producers and professionals.
Mostly yes, but there are a couple of additional options: uMatrix, piHole, YT Vanced and variations on that theme.

> allowing them to pursue their own development path according to their material reality.

Development path? What do you think enabled there to be a development path for these nations in the first place? The “material reality” of the every nation on earth save for like, France, the US, NZ, Argentina is not development… it’s de-industrialization. The unipolar world your celebrate the demise of was responsible for the greatest and fastest increase in the quality of life the world has ever seen… ever. You’re right though. It’s over. As is the influence of the US abroad, though not by accident, but by choice.
I'm not sure if awareness of the dangers of UV damage serves an explanation. The area covered isn't huge and tights aren't typical regions for skin cancer. Having said that, the heightened awareness may introduce a cultural bias…
How is this not survivorship bias?
It doesn't need to be polarising, people don't form social groups with everyone they meet, mere common interests can cause people to gravitate to each other.
This is a bizarre comment, and frankly irrational. You don’t know anything about me, and I don’t know anything about you, nor do I claim to, beyond what you shared in your comment regarding this topic precisely. I’m sorry for disagreeing with your untenable position.

> NHS spending 2009/2010 [...]

The numbers you cite represent a real-terms fall after inflation - despite the population growing about 8% in that time - AND a reduction as a proportion of GDP.

> It must be nice to be able to spend the same money twice. [...]

Meaningless.

> People dying right now waiting for ambulances. [...]

Yes, well observed. I do know that. The fact that more do not is frankly miraculous - and the fact that many do right now is more testament to chronic underfunding of other public services, especially elder care and social services.

> So your plan is to put all your eggs into one basket (i.e. state-run health care)

No. You have invented that line of thinking. In the UK state and private healthcare coexist. The only way to put all the eggs in one basket would be to erase the public provision of services which, in case you hadn't noticed, is exactly what the conservatives are trying to do.

I very much enjoyed the illustration, and found it to be pretty accurate. If I were to draw another illustration of eliminating vehicles without taking the appropriate long transition to moving to a new supply chain for this urban environment, it would show the valley below the cliff filled in, but with a great deal of the town dead from starvation and the stores and building dilapidated from lack of supplies.
I don't believe Firecracker currently supports GPU (latest what I saw about it is here: https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/issues/11...). But I wouldn't be surprised if there's another MicroVM manager that would support GPU + snapshotting.
Agreed, this will be incredibly disruptive to the video game industry.

By the time I was 10 I was also completely unsupervised.

I would distract the 7-11 clerk while my accomplice filled his backpack with candy, which he would then sell at elementary school at a 100 to 200 percent markup to the supervised children.

We would also rob the fifth grade school supplies store, which we were supposedly working at, and again, he would sell everything we stole for more than the people we stole from were selling it for. This is a good business tactic if you can make it work! This is not legal advice!

The last time I saw my accomplice would have been 89 or 90, I was in court to support a friend who had a minor criminal charge for some porch theft she had done, he was going down for possession of LSD with intent to sell. I think that's what the charges were, it was a long time ago. This was in the south, and in the early 90's in the south, I'm sure he did some time for that. I don't know what happened to him.

He did have his memories of a completely unsupervised youth to fall back on, as do I.
Voxel Doom Tested: Id Software Classic Gets a Voxelised 3D Upgrade
I think it's the fact that you can subtly pick up the way Dall-e has begun to understand the similarity between different abstract forms. Dall-e has likely intuited that there is a general similarity between the faces of different animals, or a general similarity between different organic objects and different artificial ones. We are seeing the expression of those connections the model has made: compression in abstract representation that triggers the same uneasy feeling human brains get when on a bad trip and they see faces in clouds and shadows.

The training of these image generation models minimizes the amount of necessary new visual information it needs to remember with each new image it sees during training, so whenever it sees a new image-caption pair it abstracts its qualities into an amalgamation of what its already seen. This is how Stable Diffusion managed to fit the complete corpus of human visual memory into 4.2 gigabytes.

Everything is more closely connection than the picture would imply at first glace, like how in Super Mario Bros. the bushes are just clouds colored green. Compression and efficiency leads to a hyperconnectivity in the way DALL-E ties prompts and images. This is why those old deep-dream images where everything looked like a dog's face were so unsettling. This triggers an uncanny response in the human brain, because it sees the vague shape of a face in a tree, or the vague shape of a body in the structure of a building.
Get them to order the car you want - don't worry about their inventory.
O365 and DLP are absolutely not startup best practices. Almost nobody uses either.

As I've noted elsewhere on the thread, the norm among startups is to make a first security hire somewhere between engineer #20 and #40. Pentesters usually get brought in after PMF, sometime around the "first version" of the product the startup settles on.

That's definitely missing some reasons. Back in the day onboard audio also was just terrible. Like it hissed at all volumes & other similar just bad dacs and bad amps and bad shielding problems. Which soundcards mostly all fixed.

These days basic "audio correctness" is readily available from onboard audio, though. Motherboards have gotten much, much better at noise isolating the audio area, and dacs & amps have generally improved.
Every year our neighbors do this. We jokingly refer to them as The Bumpus family because they are loud and are always doing stuff like this.
At startups, MDM almost invariably means Macs; it's usually some mixture of Jamf and osquery.

No, the Austrian government builds a large amount of housing, which increases the overall supply of housing. People living in social housing do get lower rent prices, but having a massive builder in the market that keeps pumping out new inventory helps to make it a buyer’s market and keep prices low. Simple supply and demand.
Digitally mastered audio laboriously printed to analog vinyl so it can be shipped to you and then ripped into digital format (and probably listened to on EarPods). Delightful.

From the WSJ editorial page https://www.wsj.com/articles/who-lost-alaska-sarah-palin-or-...

"One critique of ranked choice is that the winner in the end might depend on who initially comes in last. What if Ms. Palin had been eliminated first? Would most of her supporters have found Mr. Begich an acceptable second choice, at least compared with Ms. Peltola? If so, the second round might have catapulted him to a final GOP victory.

The state Division of Elections says it doesn’t have data on the second choices of the voters who picked Ms. Palin first. It isn’t sure whether such data will ever be collated and posted. The point is that ranked-choice voting encourages such strategic gamesmanship.

Imagine you’re an Alaska Democrat. The best scenario for your candidate, Ms. Peltola, might be a final showdown against Ms. Palin, meaning you want Mr. Begich to be eliminated. You might therefore conclude that the best use for your own ballot is to rank Ms. Palin first, ahead of the Democrat you actually want to win. Helping to knock out Mr. Begich early might improve Ms. Peltola’s overall odds.

At this point our head starts to hurt. Ranked-choice elections are sometimes referred to as instant-runoff voting. What was the problem with regular, old-fashioned runoffs? No election method is perfect, and choosing candidates in partisan primaries has produced its share of turkeys and loons. But there’s something clarifying about a head-to-head argument between two candidates with different visions. Whoever wins has a mandate that isn’t cobbled together from second or third rankings."

I'm a full-stack software engineer who is passionate about creative problem-solving. Prior to architecting in the virtual realm, I was a designer of the physically built environment. Most recently, I co-created Tailslide, an open-source feature flag framework for easier code deployment with automated failure protection. If you're interested in checking Tailslide out, a full case study of the project can be found here: https://tailslide-io.github.io/
You wouldn't, I was saying that there could be situations where it wouldn't be a valid claim for wage theft.
