I just went through this process with Gentoo on a framework laptop. Here are some random, likely incomplete notes to make this work. It uses a swap file on an encrypted filesystem

1. Create a swap file. Our rule of thumb is ram + sqrt(ram) for hibernate

fallocate -l 72GiB swapfile
chmod 600 swapfile
mkswap swapfile
swapon swapfile
swapon --show

2. emerge suspend

3. Get the number to use with resume_offset later. In the current case, it was 125798400

swap-offset /swapfile

emerge sys-boot/grub
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot

vim /boot/grub/grub.cfg

timeout=5

menuentry 'Gentoo Linux 5.18.19' {
root=hd0,1
insmod all_video
linux /kernel-5.18.19 root=/dev/mapper/root resume=/dev/mapper/root resume_offset=125798400
}

4. Fix suspend.conf

vim /etc/suspend.conf

resume device = /dev/mapper/root
resume offset = 125798400

5. Setup an initramfs

cd /usr/src
mkdir initramfs
cd initramfs
mkdir -p bin dev etc proc sys new-root
cp -a /dev/{null,console,tty} /usr/src/initramfs/dev/
cp -a /bin/busybox ./bin
cd bin
for i in `./busybox --list`
do
ln -s ./busybox $i
done
cd ..
cp -a /sbin/cryptsetup ./bin
mkdir -p ./run/cryptsetup
lddtree -l /sbin/cryptsetup

Copy in all of those files until the local cryptsetup works appropriately

vim init

#!/bin/sh

# Define a rescue shell
rescue_shell() {
echo "Error in boot process, dropping to a shell"
exec /bin/sh
}·

# Mount our devices. We sleep prior to dev to hopefully finish loading.
mount -t proc none /proc
mount -t sysfs none /sys
sleep 2 && mount -t devtmpfs none /dev

# Decrypt the root partition
cryptsetup --allow-discards luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2 root || rescue_shell

# Attempt to resume
printf '%u:%u\n' $(stat -L -c '0x%t 0x%T' /dev/mapper/root) > /sys/power/resume

# If we're not resuming, mount the new root
mount -o noatime,discard -t ext4 /dev/mapper/root /new-root

# Unmount (cleanup) our devices
umount /proc
umount /sys
umount /dev

# Boot from the unencrypted partition
exec switch_root /new-root /sbin/init

6. Suspend should be working with:

echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk
echo disk > /sys/power/state

or preferably

loginctl hibernate

Anyway, there's a lot of missing detail in there, but the idea is that there's a swapfile inside the normal encrypted root partition. For me, I've enough ram where I don't really use swap unless hibernating, so a swapfile versus a separate encrypted swap partition suffices.

You have the version which filters out NSFW images based on keywords. The code literally replaces images it thinks are NSFW with Rick Astley. Copyright aside (yes it's probably wrong to hard code an image of Rick Astley in the actual stable diffusion git repository) that image is not contained in the weights of the model.

The issue is mostly

1) python appeals to a lot of people that work in development-adjacent industries (like AI). These people don’t usually have to care about packaging

2) Python has gone through many outdated forms of packaging

3) The zen of python seems to have encouraged everyone to install third party libraries for the smallest of tasks (implementing retries, formatting phone numbers, etc). These small packages often have only a few number of maintainers who end up dropping off the map.

Modern python package management works pretty well, but there’s so much debt in the ecosystem I’m not sure when it’ll be better for end users.

> 3. Don't allow cross-platform requests in the first place; have your API consumers go through a server-side proxy on the same domain instead, or host it on the same domain in the first place.

That works for first-party JS. Doesn't work for a public API used by others.

Edit: Specifically purely client-side apps. For someone hosting a static HTML+JS app, it's annoying to have to set up and run a server-side route just to circumvent CORS.

(Maybe not so bad with something like Next.js, where it's easy to add a backend route to your primarily static website.)

And it adds an extra hop of latency to every request.
Win11 and macOS and desktop Linux all suck in various ways. ChromeOS actually has far better security, boots faster, has less obtrusive automatic updates, supports Android apps, runs Steam (in beta), and has real Linux that you can use underneath instead of PowerShell or Cygwin or WSL or Apple's weird environment with no native package manager and a set of outdated utilities and a git binary that requires accepting the XCode license agreement again every time there's an update...

Seems like half of HN readers think Google is the literal devil, but for the other half, why not ChromeOS?

That's fine. The place to address it is directly, in private, with those employees. You do not humiliate people in public, not a single person, not a group of people. That's what flailing, incompetent managers do.

For every person like you who doesn't think the execs are talking about them, there is a person who is actually performing very well, who management would like to keep around, who does think it applies to them, and it is killing their morale.

And you don't know definitively that they aren't talking about you either, Mr High Performance. Your management chain could easily have a different view of you than you have of yourself, whether it's justified or not.

I suggest that Teams only gets used because it’s included in the enormous license that companies buy for Exchange and/or Office and the most popular alternative has its own fees. Large companies don’t want to fork over another licensing fee in the tens of thousands of dollars for Slack when they’re getting Teams “free.”
It is not entirely without merit to say that religious folks that encourage large families like the Amish, Catholics and Mormons will dominate in the distant future. Hell, I have 45 first cousins (on one side) and they on average have 3+ kids so it might just be my extended family :)
VMware's live migration is totally seamless, so I don't know what you mean by "inferior user experience". You typically see less than a second of packet loss, and a small performance hit for about a minute while the memory is "swapped" across to the new machine. Similarly, VMware has had live storage migration for years.

VMware is lightyears ahead of the big clouds, but unfortunately they "missed the boat" on the public cloud, despite having superior foundational technology.

For example:

- A typical vSphere cluster would use live migration to balance workloads dynamically. You don't notice this as an end user, but it allows them to bin-pack workloads up above 80% CPU utilisation in my experience with good results. (Especially if you allocate priorities, min/max limits, etc...)

- You can version-upgrade a vSphere cluster live. This includes rolling hypervisor kernel upgrades and live disk format changes. The upgrade wizard is a fantastic thing that asks only for the cluster controller name and login details! Click "OK" and watch the progress bar.

- Flexible keep-apart and keep-together rules that can updated at any time, and will take effect via live migration. This is sort-of like the Kubernetes "control loops", but the migrations are live and memory-preserving instead of stop-start like with containers.

- Online changes to virtual hardware, including adding not just NICs and disks, but also CPU and memory!

- Thin-provisioned disks, and memory deduplication for efficiencies approaching that of containerisation.

- Flexible snapshots, including the ability for "thin provisioned" virtual machines to share a base snapshot. This is often used for virtual desktops or terminal services, and again this approaches containerisation in terms of cloning speed and storage efficiency.

In other words, VMware had all of the pieces, and just... didn't... use it to make a public cloud. We could have had "cloud.vmware.com" or whatever 15 years ago, but they decided to slowly jack up the price on their enterprise customers instead.

For comparison, in Azure: You can't add a VM to an availability set (keep apart rule) or remove the VM from it without a stop-start cycle. You can't make most changes (SKU, etc...) to a VM in an availability set without turning off every machine in the same AS! This is just one example of many where the public cloud has a "checkbox" availability feature that actually decreases availability. For a long time, changing an IP address in AWS required the VM to be basically blown away and recreated. That brought back memories of the Windows NT 4 days in 1990s when an IP change required a reboot cycle.
unless you're willing to burn $150 a quarter doing this exact assessment, it tells you nothing other than the data center conditions at the time of running.

it would be like doing this in us-central1 when us-central1 is down for one provider, and not another, resulting in increased latency, and saying how much faster one is than the other.

unlike say a throughput test or similar, neither of these services promise particular cold-starts, and so the numbers here cannot be contexutalized against any metric given by either company and so are only useful in the sense that they can be compared, but since there are no guarantees the positions could switch anytime.

that's why I like comparisons between serverless functions where there are pretty explicit SLAs and what not given by each company for you to compare against, as well as one another.
I strongly disagree with it, but I don't really see it as a constitutional thing. Higher education is destroying itself, and this idiocy can give rise to better competing institutions, faster. The sooner more people see the modern university as irrelevant (or better, as a common employment training ground instead of a place for higher education), the sooner those interested in actual scholarship can move on
Unless most work is intellectual/creative and most manual labor is automated or machine assisted 50 years from now. There are way more 70+ year olds still in the workforce currently than ever before and it isn't crazy to think retiring at 60 is a thing of the past.

>They both derive their value from the U.S. dollar.

No, they don't. The HKD is pegged to the US Dollar. They engage in open market operations to buy and sell HKD in order to keep the value of it around 7.8 HKD to a USD. This can be very expensive for them to do sometimes, such as right now. There is nothing fundamental about the HKD that makes it worth 12.8 US cents. Its intrinsic value is derived entirely from the fact that you can pay taxes with it in Hong Kong. It can't go to zero because demand for it will always be higher than 0.

On the other hand, the USDT is ostensibly $1 because you bought it for $1. They claim to be backing it with $1 worth of assets allowing you to sell it back to them for $1. This entire thing is about how nobody actually knows what its backed with. It has no other intrinsic value. If Tether doesn't (or wont) buy it back for $1, it's worth nothing. It does nothing.
TPTB was discussing firing Powell following the rate hikes. Not clear if it would have been possible, not clear that it wouldn't. "Entirely [Powell's] fault" may be the right diagnosis, but I'd say political leadership matters a lot here.
Yeah, that will be a problem for sure. We will get a preview of it in Asia.
The picture was there in electromagnetic flux; the photographer just got in the way of the photons.

I think a similar argument can be made that in the infinite space of stable diffusion solutions, asking for one is just getting in the way of the noise. If a photograph is art, a human saying "this shook noise is worth showing people" is art.

Does the equation of copyright change if the artist says "I want a boat on a calm sea" and starts from a white triangle and blue rectangle? If not, there must be some point of human contribution of information between "words into the stable diffuser" and "using Photoshop on a canvas starting blank" where the work becomes copyrightable. Where is the line?

> A copyright owner for AI would be claiming to own their contribution, the prompt, but not the automated machine generated portion, the image.

If I take a blank canvas, set color to [200, 10, 10], and click in the corner with the paint bucket, my contribution is five parcels of information (compressible to one, the color), and I get to claim copyright on the whole ruddy square that results.

Especially if I name it "Ruddy Square" and sell it to the MoMA.
Meh. I think the people who hire at early stage startups understand this statement perfectly, and my work and references speak for themselves.

The borrower is left with nothing.

They pay thousands on monthly mortgage, if they are late, they are charged a penalty (more interest). If they fail to pay all together, then the property is gone. All the money the borrower dedicated to paying off the mortgage gives them nothing in return. Essentially robbery.
Why do you believe the diplomatic situation is the same pre war as post war?
Tether should be making money though right? You give Tether $1b USD, they issue some tethers you can redeem later, and in the meantime, they invest those tethers, in say treasuries, and earn 4% or something? You earn no return, so don't they basically have an interest free loan of 60B or whatever? So unless they are incredibly greedy, they can just sit around making bank, without actually having any good reason to take on too much risk?
I cannot edit my comment but for those that are not familiar

> The quantum mind or quantum consciousness is a group of hypotheses proposing that classical mechanics cannot explain consciousness. It posits that quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as entanglement and superposition, may play an important part in the brain's function and could explain consciousness.

100% agree! I cannot stand companies which act as you have described. I started to shun products which require any accounts and I flat out refuse to sign up for them. its annoying enough to have realestate taken up by their requests to signup.

I hate the companies more for it...and I will always jump ship from these companies first....

they are so parasitic.
Which is not the same as backed 100% by real dollars. It’s just another level of guarantees, just like the guarantees given by Tether. Obviously it’s very reasonable to trust one more than the other, but neither are backed 100% by real money.
Amazon will have to keep hiring ravenously or they will run out of people to feed to the stack ranking fire.
> I wonder if any other aspect of life depends on quantum tunneling to function?

Life has for sure adapted to quantum tunneling as part of the environment, since it plays a role in the rates of all the chemical reactions that sustain life.
I'm really surprised I've never even discovered that accidentally. If nothing else, this is a vastly superior way to search a repository.

>The whole point is that objective reality ends very quickly past mathematical theorems.

In fact that's completely false. If a rock is flying through the air towards your head, and you don't move, that rock will hit you in the head. That is objective reality. Various people can come up with all sorts of narratives and beliefs about what that rock is, who threw it, whether or not the rock is sentient or represents something else entirely. But objective reality is the rock hitting you in the head. Reasonable people can argue about the meaning of the rock, why it was thrown, who threw it, or how it was otherwise ejected through the sky towards your head, but they all agree that the rock is there, flying through the sky towards your head. That is objective reality.
Already on the internet we can choose to use our real name when we are comfortable having our reputation tied to our words giving them more weight, and we can also be anonymous other times when we are okay with our words holding very little weight, but also very little risk to us.

I think many people, if they find a comment really impactful, will take a look and see if this was said by someone using their real name and if there are obviously relevant major corporate biases they didn't disclose. Or maybe I am weird and am just trying to justify that I personally do this often.

Regardless, both anonymous and identified communication are very valuable depending on the particular goal, and it should always be a switch everyone is empowered to be able flip at any time.

Sometimes when I am testing out ideas to decide how I even feel about something myself, I may choose to be anonymous.

Most of the time, I am fine with most of my posts on HN being under my real name and tied to my reputation and that of the security and privacy consulting company I run.

I still reserve the right to change my mind and be wrong sometimes and trust most of my target customers to give me some room for that :)
> In particular, why choose to study robustness against doubling time (which seems intuitively like it wouldn't affect the shape of the tree much)

As I understand it, the doubling times observed in the simulations were primarily the result of the ascertainment and transmission rate parameters.

Care to elaborate why you think the robustness of the model with respect to transmission rate should be assumed? I don't share your intuition here, and note that the authors observe, "that sensitivity analyses with longer doubling times increase the support for multiple introductions."

You really fault them for robustness analysis here?
Apple, Microsoft and Google are all data harvesting companies. And any other OS, including Linux, can have spyware, rootkits or other malicious software installed all the way down to the BIOS.

To be clear on what you're getting: It runs a (Linux) VM and you get root on (a container on) that VM. Not trying to rain on your parade (because it's really quite useful!) but it's limited in what it can do. (eg it can't change the host's wifi MAC address.)

Chromebooks have easy access to developer mode which gives you root access to the host OS though, so it's kinda moot.
Are the prices for domestic solar installations falling too? I haven't seen that in Texas.
The dumb thing is, there isn't a downturn (yet). This is all anticipatory. These kinds of moves will bring a downturn, though.
Update: I've made dark mode free, and I added a theme switcher in the bottom left.
The author is using 'Quantile' which I hadn't heard of before, and when I did, it seems like it actually should be 'Percentile'. Percentiles are the percentages, which is what the author is referring to.
For an app made by one of the largest software companies out there, Teams devs can't figure out how to format code snippet/log snippet in a readable way. The font is way too big and they waste half the app's width for things other than the message.
That would be nice, because many OSes are much smaller than Electron.

> About the latter ("considered to be one of the earliest universities in the world") and the revival of the university - I recently started reading a book called, The Shape of Ancient Thought: Comparative Studies in Greek and Indian Philosophies. I'm interested in learning about the influence of Buddhism on Greek (and later European) philosophy.

Another fact: Emperor Chandragupta Maurya studied in this University under the tutelage of his teacher, Acharya Chanakya. Chanakya raises this boy (not born into Royal Lineage) and teaches him everything: politics, philosophy, economics, administration and handling weapons. Turns him into a Warrior. He eventually raises a formidable Army and attacks the Nanda Empire to oust Emperor Dhana Nanda (who was at that time extremely cruel. Alexander's Army mutinied at Beas (Hyphasis River) against attacking the Nanda Empire primarily because they heard about the barbarity of the Nandas and the vast Army that they commanded). Once Chandragupta defeats Dhana Nanda, he forms the Mauryan Empire and appoints Chanakya as the Prime Minister.
Tether is run by incompetent people so I wouldn't be surprised if they have lost money on their investments. At least they're not gamblers like Mashinsky.
Any time you risk money on the outcome of anything it is gambling, whether the odds are favorable for you or not, or whether it is a game of skill or not.
You can pay your taxes in dollars. You can't do anything important with tethers.
