I wrote an epoll echo server that multiplexes multiple network connections over threads (multiple users per thread)

https://github.com/samsquire/epoll-server

I also have a 1:M:N (1 scheduler thread, M kernel threads and N lightweight green threads) multithreaded userspace scheduler which multiplexes lightweight threads onto kernel threads and can preempt hot loops with minimal overhead. I rely on the fact that you can change the looping variable from another thread if you use a structure. Preemptive interruption is very useful for the illusion of multitasking. That's why I call it a userspace scheduler.

https://GitHub.com/samsquire/preemptible-thread

I think the epoll-server which is kind of similar to what libuv does and the userspace scheduler could be combined into an application server.

I also wrote a multithreaded actor implementation in Java. Threads can communicate with each other between 60 million - 100 million messages a second. The epoll-server uses a multiconsumer multiproducer lockless RingBuffer.

https://GitHub.com/samsquire/multicersion-concurrency-contro...

I think the core fundamentals of building a performant application server should be done once and reused for each application.

I want to also split the threading used by recv and send of a socket so that we have a 1:RecvKernelThread SendKernelThread with 1 RK+SK assigned to Socket:N scheduling (1 scheduler thread, 1 assigned Recv thread, 1 assigned send thread per socket). So you can send while you receive and receive while you send. True multiplexing!

We can decouple CPU and IO completely with threading.

That would likely accelerate the fall of society as we know it. I can’t think of a stronger financial incentive to go underground, or simply pack up and leave the country.

Before the recent AI boom in the US, China was known to have better opportunities for AI researchers. Hugo de Garis and Ben Goertzel both went over to China for that reason some time ago. Interestingly, De Garis predicted that a world war would eventually start over the issue of AI prohibition.

> but he negotiated and we settled for $129

Does such a practice scale? I imagine it would be tiresome having to negotiate deals, say, 4-5 times a day? If it pays the bills, why not, but having a fixed price cuts out all the penny pinchers IMHO.
Let’s also remember why CP is illegal in the first place: because children are manipulated and ultimately harmed in order to create it. I don’t see an ethical or moral problem with digitally generated content of that nature since children aren't being harmed. Am I missing something?

That’s why this whole argument is BS. It panders to those that think these things are illegal because “ew that’s gross” without actually taking the time to argue how AI slots in ethically to their worldview. Discussions about AI license laundering content are far more relevant and interesting.
Thank you for illustrating my point so vividly.
They removed all free tiers is probably the source for this.

But, they also have had little innovation in years, anecdotally the rate of issues is increasing, they released a very uninteresting roadmap, and the future level of investment from salesforce seems iffy.

The repos they linked are just for the clients. I think the server software would be way more interesting, but it's also their secret sauce so it unlikely they'll open source that.

I'm with you that allowing the clients to connect to a different sync server (gpodder, etc) would be a great feature. Though, again, I don't see that happening because it would cut into their subscription service.
The UK produces less than half in the north sea and can produce maybe a bit more than half.

They are now trying to use the current crisis to push for fracking because the north sea cant produce nearly enough.

The deep unpopularity of this move even in the context of an energy crisis is partly why this government lasted a few months.

If this is what you mean by "potential that should be exercised" then you're basically politically on the same page as the shortest reigning PM in history.

I also eye-roll when someone legitimately wants to mandate that tools produce "morally correct" outputs.

However, as a person who has been closely following the developments in this field, I share a similar perspective to a few of the other commentators here. Most of the noise is just virtue-signalling to deflect scrutiny and/or protect business interests. Scrutiny from governments is something we absolutely do not want right now.

Humanity is on a path towards artificial general intelligence. Today, the concerns are "what about the artists" and "what if people make mean/offensive things"? As we start to develop AI/ML systems that do more practical things we will start to trend towards more serious questions like "what about everybody's job?". These are the things that will get governments to step in and regulate.

There is a pathway to AGI in which governments and corporations end up with a monopoly on it. I personally view that as a nightmare scenario, as AGI is a power-multiplier the likes of which we've never seen before.

It's important that current development efforts remain mostly unfettered, even if one has to put on a "moral" facade. The longer it takes for governments to catch on, the less likely it will be that they will manage to monopolize the technology.
The Linux kernel or other critical pieces of software infrastructure cost billions to create - yet it is available for free allowing companies to create immense value to society on top of it.

Sorry, yes -- if you have a wrist injury that makes perfect sense.

And that's precisely why I wrote that key wells were a bad idea unless you had an injury/disability.

And on the one hand I do want to stress that this is still entirely objective -- it's about actual objective muscle function, it's not subjective opinion. But on the other hand, I can appreciate how frustrating it can be when the advice is geared for people without injury, but presenting it as if it applies to everyone including those with injuries. Sorry if I came across that way. It's just my own frustration with so many quack "ergonomic" products that defend their products which create injuries by suggesting that consumers should just decide for themselves, because the manufacturers are just providing "options".

I think a cool project to work on would be model-based ML-generated profiles that takes a set of parameters like:

* application type (e.g. client, server, batch process, parser, etc.)
* target architecture, vendor, model, etc.
* target resources like RAM, HD Types, Network interfaces, etc.

I would think you could get very close to an actual PGO level of performance with just a handful of parameters and lot of data.

What I notice, is that countries with strong regulations don't have street food, night markets.

Because these are chaotic. Once your country goes down the regulation road it's not possible anymore.

Does it never interest you that the US have never discussed what types of AI models it has produced?

> Uses Git to store your data

I think you meant "Uses GitHub to store your data"?

Git is not a data store but a version control system, it can't store data. Data is stored on your disk or on your Git server.
In the case of your CMS it seems like it requires GitHub specifically, other Git servers won't work.

This is an incredibly oversimplified and useless take of the sort that people need to stop parroting.

Regulations work very frequently; they're around us ALL the time. Yes, they sometimes fail or don't work perfectly.
From the article:

> Such efforts could crush research “critical for human survival and empathy,” says Bertha Madras, a neuroscientist at Harvard who has conducted brain imaging studies of monkeys for decades but doesn’t work directly with Livingstone. “If we’re going to understand how the brain functions, we’re going to have to do experiments that generate visceral reactions,” she says. “We have to be looking at the greater good.”

I'm definitely wary if the best argument for continuing this research is that it supports "the greater good". I could fully understand that the line between, for example, what is an acceptable research protocol, and what crosses the line to cruel, inhumane treatment, is sometimes gray. But I think it's morally wrong to be ok with cruel and inhumane treatment of intelligent, social creatures by just arguing that it "is for the greater good".

That line of thinking has been used as a defense for nearly every horrific undertaking by man for the past couple of centuries.

Let's decouple the art from the artist. My theory is that Adams knows exactly what he is doing and is making a living by feeding the troll / fanning the flames. I stopped watching his blog / consuming the strip a long time ago (cca 2017) but I thoroughly enjoyed it for years before I stopped.
It's still a tradeoff, in modern countries, the state slowly replaces older structures (like family).

It's safer.

But little by little, you end up with people who don't do much than living outside of big cities, commuting back and forth, going back home to watch Netflix and order some food.

Working conditions in SEAsia are still not as good. But it's affordable to eat outside, it's affordable to enjoy a lot of social time with family and friends. Friends and family, colleagues, low paid workers will meet together several times a week.

Having broken many smartphone screens, I have to disagree with the characterization of "almost unbreakable." Sure, the screens are tougher than, say, house glass but that doesn't make it unbreakable. The number of screen repair stores at the mall pretty much testify to the accuracy of this phrase.
I used it with great success for transpiring libyaml from C to Rust. I even set up Miri to run the upstream library's entire transpiled test suite, and the fact it passes is validation of absence of UB in the original C code.

The transpiled library now serves as the YAML backend for the widely used serde_yaml crate. Having serde_yaml be pure-Rust code instead of linking C is advantageous for painless cross-compilation as well as making downstream projects runnable in Miri.

> the sites they're claiming are found in nature.

They're not looking for the existence of the sites they're looking at the distribution of them. Their paper shows that in natural viruses the distribution is distinct from synthetic viruses.

The proposed classifier is how uniformly distributed these sites are, not that the sites exist.

> circular argumentation

Can you elaborate? They select a site based on commonly used it is (and maybe also the fact that Baric and WIV published on it). Then they found evidence of it being used. What's "circular"?

> great depth about how ridiculous this paper is

The crux of his argument (and yours) is tweet 10/ in that thread -- "You CAN actually do it like that, but why should you?" which is pretty weak.

Often, if not most, of the time the engineering I come across hasn't been done in the slickest most optimal way. The fact that there's a better way to do something isn't proof that everyone's been doing that the whole time.

For example, WIV was using non-seamless cloning in 2016 https://twitter.com/R_H_Ebright/status/1583868088524541953

> pretty tired of debating people who don't know biology

I started my PhD in math biology but for whatever reason I just couldn't get along with the PI or any of the postdocs. I don't know what it was. I eventually switched to just math. Oh well.

I used to second guess my decision but in the nearly two decades of research since I've never come across the level of smugness and credentialism that I now see coming from that field. Every disagreement is met with remarks about "kindergarten molecular biology" or referring to other researchers diagrams as "cartoons". Now I don't second guess anymore.

Perhaps if you're so bothered by the people here you should keep your posting to virological.org or simply talk with the biology profs on Twitter directly.

Hi there! Made LongTermBoard.com as a Jr. FE engineer fresh from leaving the investment field but still in love with it.

Back then, I'd read articles on investment forums and wanted a quick way to determine if I should spend time reading the analysis. I wanted a quick way to determine if the author is a good investor.

LongTermBoard solves this by making it easy to view the competency of the author by seeing his investment performance of his profile. It's long-only for now, as the goal is to look for great long-term businesses to invest in.

It ain't perfect as its a controlled investment environment, but my hope is that over the longer term, the portfolio performance should be a good proxy.

It's super rough now, so hope it doesn't break.

A small note: 80 miles an hour on windy roads, driving in the middle of the road, is not slow and chill. That's "I want to die" fast and reckless... maybe have two autodrive settings.

The problem with extremely powerful forces (like new technologies) is that you can’t always predict what effects they’ll have.

This is doubly true with regard to technologies that seem not only powerful, not only adaptable to new domains, but also rapidly improving on both of those dimensions. I don’t know what is the right level or type of limitation, but there is nothing confusing or weird at all about wanting to be careful with such a technology.

If technology keeps advancing (it will), new developments will approach “looks kind of alarming” status faster and faster. This is because they will also approach “could destroy everything we know and love” status faster and faster.
I get this. But on the other hand, there is a reason people customize Emacs, both by writing elisp, and loading packages. Vanilla emacs is usable, but its really not great, from a usability perspective. So the endless recommendations on what you should do to start.

All sorts of software can be used to “generate potentially harmful results”. Think about an algorithm for displaying content on social media sites, a search engine, a piece of malware on a computer. Do we ban books on how to make bombs? It’s such a broad point to make that it’s practically meaningless. The computers job is to read a set of instructions and execute them. It’s abstractly no different to a human writing instructions for another human, with the adage that the computer is a much faster processor than a human. You can quite literally run these ML models (a collection of statistically weighted averages) with pen and paper and a calculator (or even none!). Things will be maliciously used, that means we don’t ban sharp forks (at the determent of legitimate users), we ban those that intentionally misuse those tools.

I firmly believe that the more people think like you, the closer we are to having to get licensed and bonded as software engineers.

We have the freedom we enjoy compared to more physical disciplines because we have as a whole thus far been sort of responsibile with our negative impacts on the physical world.

You can do any of those things for your personal use, the difference is that you can't legally do things like build stairs without railings when taking on construction jobs for clients or customers. The tools you use don't care if you're what you're doing is legal or what not, they work the same way regardless. It's just there are (rightfully) legal restrictions on what you can do with products or services you sell to the public.

The difference here is like not being able to own a hammer or car mechanics tools for your own personal use, and only being able to use them under corporate guidelines/surveilance in a restricted area, which is ridiculous.
