I'm one of the two ZFSBootMenu authors - it's great seeing people using it in the wild.

I'm not sure if this is something you're doing already, but don't forget that if you zfs send a snapshot to your storage pool, you can boot from that snapshot in a pinch.

We also (this past week) added a modifier to zbm.prefer - !!. If you specify zbm.prefer=zroot!! on the KCL, it'll only import the zroot pool. This might help your boot times by skipping importing your 56 drive storage pool.

We should have a new release out in the next few weeks, otherwise that feature is in the master branch if you build your own EFI executable.
Hmm, I wonder what to do if you want to be able to boot the same system via both BIOS and UEFI.

Good read and advice.

Scott, if you write about this in the future, please don't say "at least I'm not dying of X". People reading this might be, and you are basically saying "well, at least its not that". Yes, people with cancer, and dying of cancer, read HN, particularly when the subject is pain.
Thank you for sharing this. I have many times seen the Shiki-Shima (“Four-season Island”) head north from Tokyo past where I used to live and wondered just what it was that I was observing. Up until now I thought it was a private train and I could have sworn that I spotted a piano in the lounge each time it passed.

Here's an idea, don't waive due diligence and sign up to buy something at a price that was already aggressive, and then complain about the exact issues which you'll later hope to try and prove a MAC.

Any high paid lawyer would have said "don't do ANY of that" to the entire deal. Don't overpay from the start so you can have a meme price. Don't waive due diligence. Don't sabotage your own potential down the line arguments by throwing them around publicly.

There were a thousand better ways to handle this if that was the goal. Twitter sued for specific performance and he got screwed because he played fast and loose with the rules and they suddenly applied to him.
I'm no expert but can you show how those techniques can be used to solve the same problems NNs can? Like SOTA image recognition, chess / go, STT, TTS etc?
I get when and why companies lay people off. Sucks, but it makes sense.

What Musk is doing with Twitter employees isn't a layoff; it's tossing employees into the trash.

Let's compare how Stripe and Lyft have handled their RIFs this week:

STRIPE:

- 14 weeks severance pay
- Approximately 14 weeks of health insurance
- Waived RSU cliff and accelerated vests

LYFT

- 10 weeks of severance
- Something like 20 weeks of healthcare coverage
- Accelerated vest
- Notified via work email
- Not immediately locked out of their systems

TWITTER (under Elon)

- Asked to work well beyond 40 hr/wk
- No severance
- No vest
- Notified via personal email
- Crapshoot whether they can access systems later today

This is reprehensible.

I know I'm a small fish, but this was a chief reason behind me not buying another Tesla next year (which I was going to finance next month). I cannot support leaders who treat their people like this.

> You can suggest that coverage is inaccurate or unfair, but suggesting that tech should not be covered with an investigative lens is hard to argue.

That's because he's being very charitable to what is happening. In fact, under the guise of aggressively investigative coverage, the media is constantly propagating false memes about the industry. Biggest example is the idea that it's dominated by a culture of white tech bros, when in fact it's dominated by highly educated and hard-working Indian and Chinese immigrants.

I applaud your faith in humanity but the same population isn't likely going to read the exonerating report that I cited elsewhere and will note here. Read the conclusion at the end and then tell me again why the laptop story still needs to be promoted:

> If the story had gotten to run its normal course

Nobody pushing that story cares about anything other than the story sticking around to be a campaign talking point.

The Steele Dossier is far more complicated because of its origins and handling (yes Clinton helped fund some of it but McCain and Comey were alarmed by it). It was also always framed as raw, unverified intel that, once public, compelled verification of it. At that time it was also paired with the Buttery Mails investigation which likely tipped the scales away from Clinton.

Read the wiki and you can see that it's not cut and dried. Meanwhile that whole thing has been turned into RussiaGate and categorically denied. MSM has dropped that line.

Nobody on the left is defending Hunter Biden. But again, he's not the candidate, so why is there such concern? Because it's ButteryMails v2. The laptop story is the story.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to condemn about the Dossier affair -- it had its moment in the sun and then was squashed, with the bonus that it's now projected that Trump is 100% innocent in regards to dealing with Russia and that just ain't the case.
Hi Anna, could you please confirm that your server and yourself are not under US jurisdiction?
I'm not saying that every distro should support every piece of software that's out there, that would be wasteful and very difficult.

What I am saying is that, ideally, every component in a distro (or any important software, really) should have at least two options, so that if one option fails for whatever reason, the user has a choice to swap it and keep working. This is already true with many components of a distribution.

This is how I am writing my application. It is not fully there yet, but I plan for every dependency to have an alternative. I also favor dependencies with long streaks of no breaking changes, having been previously affected by breaking changes in dependencies I was using.
> since you are only denying the person one very specific use of their "property"

You’re denying the author income in exchange for their labor of writing the book in the first place.

> Of course, if it starts materially affecting the person's capacity to live a reasonable lifestyle

Well at least according to this: https://authorsguild.org/news/six-takeaways-from-the-authors...

> Inability to earn adequate living: indeed just 57% of full-time published authors derived 100% of their individual income from writing-related work in 2017, and much of that writing income comes from activities such as speaking engagements, the teaching of writing, editing or translating the works of other authors, ghostwriting, etc. rather from book advances and royalties. Only 21% of full-time published authors derived 100% of their individual income from book-related income.

In terms of income:

> Median incomes of all published authors who were surveyed—including part-time, full-time, traditionally published, self-published, and hybrid-published authors—for all writing-related activities[1] was $6,080, down 3% from four years ago. This is down from a $10,500 median income in 2009 according the Authors Guild’s last survey[2]. Worse still, the median income for all published authors based solely on book-related activities[3] fell from $3,900 to $3,100, down 21%, while full-time traditionally published authors earned $12,400.

So effectively, not paying for a book has a high likelihood of taking a decent percentage of a writers income.
My daily driver for dev work is Fedora. It gets a bad rap but I think it's superior to most other distros if you want a "work-focused" distribution with relatively little tinkering required.
>One form of charity does not make another less valid

People keep repeating this but it is Patently Not True. The distinction lies in the Needs vs. Wants dichotomy.
There are numerous discoveries of the limits of animal intelligence, especially in the area of language acquisition. Especially when Skinner's behaviorism concept was in vogue, it had actually been assumed that at least some animals could learn human-like language with enough training. This turned out to be completely false even for animals like chimpanzees and gorillas. In fact, some of the exact limits were identified - especially around syntax and embedding (one phrase inside another).

You can read up on a chimpanzee called Nim Chimpsky to see one of the more infamous failures in this area (and quite a sad story of animal mistreatment). It also illustrates the dangers of wanting to believe, or of excessive anthropomorphizing - as initially the experiments were deemed successful, until more dispassionate analysis showed that the chimp's signing was far more random and determined than presented.
I suspect that Musk has more in store than just keeping Twitter as we know it today.

Most of the new development is not about adding new features but about removing limitations and making existing features more orthogonal. GATs technically aren't introducing a new thing. They just allow to use the already existing generic syntax on more things. Similar thing with allowing impl Trait in more places and async traits.

If Tesla was expected to sell to a good chunk of the world population while somehow only selling high-margin vehicles, their valuation in comparison to VW would make sense. However the market for luxury vehicles isn't that large, so Tesla can't be expected to keep high margins if it wants to grow as big as VW. If it wanted to be 10 times bigger than VW, as its valuation would suggest, then close to 100% of all cars sold worldwide would be Teslas (by 2021 numbers). How likely is that, given that it's currently more like 1%?

Well either that or it's just another bubble created by overexcitable people. We had a few of those, didn't we?

This is false. You should read MIT's very helpful blog on why they decided to bring back the SAT. Tl;Dr - the SAT is not a perfect indicator, but in combination with GPA, it is the best predictor of success in advanced education, especially in STEM disciplines. There is very high correlation between grades and SAT scores. Anecdotally, this aligns with my observations too.

I am quite familiar now with the SAT, and have taken the GRE and GMAT myself, and don't understand why any of these standardized tests are considered unfair to certain groups. I think they are a good measure of cognitive ability for advanced studies. People are shooting the messenger.
Live images. Also if you still use BIOS-era hardware you found in the trash because you can't afford to buy hardware, and if someone gave you a UEFI device you can't afford the additional storage devices needed to migrate data and or because you don't want to have to deal with migrating a system or reinstalling it.
Stripe made a bad choice _hiring_ people, early this year. They were very explicit about this in the email. They overextended and didn't foresee the economy contracting the way it did - and now they have to correct.

Cutting salaries for everybody has a number of disadvantages, chief of which is that it will encourage the best of people to leave. Firing can be done strategically, targeting the most recent hires and the underperformers.

I do feel like I have to remind that the first duty of the management is to the company - not because the company is "Mother and Father", in an old communist wooden language, but because the company needs to survive in order to pay all salaries, and hopefully expand enough so it can hire again even more people (assumingly in a more sustainable way this time).

WARN doesn’t stop you from laying people off. It stops you from firing half the company with a week’s notice, at best, weeks before the holidays. This would be tens of millions of dollars of fines (plus more in ancillary costs) for bad planning and communication.
I don't think most of the issues mentioned are mitigated by AWS, sadly.
That's not their stated position, obviously it's hard to verify but from there official stance:

"GitHub Copilot is powered by OpenAI Codex, a new AI system created by OpenAI. It has been trained on a selection of English language and source code from publicly available sources, including code in public repositories on GitHub."

Lidocaine into my big toe was the single most painful event of my life. Thankfully it was brief.
The overwhelming majority of developers I interact with these days are on MacOS, and it's not even close. Probably a 80-20 MacOS to Windows ratio. I'm not in Silicon Valley, and I work with people from lots of different companies. Every company that offers the option for devs to have a Macbook, that seems to be what the "average" dev is choosing for a while now. This is obviously an anecdotal sample size but I'm looking at a group of about 30 companies over the past year ranging in size from < 15 employees to up to 500, and everything in between.

M1 has made a lot of people eager to jump too.

New York Times is a rag, imo. Maybe it's just because I'm a leftist and NYT absolutely loathes the idea of leftists even having the ability to discuss non "radical centrist" ideals, but I've never found much worth reading there.

Most enterprise level stuff can (ie, anything that'll go into a rack, the expensive QNAPs/Synos, any supermicro I've encountered, etc.) handle the 3V3 pin issue just fine, in my experience.

> he purchase of Twitter was done via loans and now, interest rates are not zero. Musk will have to service considerable debt to keep Twitter alive.

Those loan rates were negotiated before the recent hikes. They had some range built in based on what the market did, but he is definitely paying below current market rates.
I don't think Office 365 allows me to reply as the recipient of the email, unless I create a mailbox or an explicit alias.

Are there applications that allow this?

In other words, I have a catch-all on my domain, and I get an email on foobar@domain.com.

But my login is WirelessGigabit@domain.com. On Office365 I cannot reply from foobar@domain.com unless I add it as an alias.
Even if the form is the same the questions are easier and the evaluation more generous at lower-tier companies.
Completely disagree. I think that the output that it produces is sufficiently transformative to be considered fair use, and even when people coerce it to produce code verbatim - it represents a fraction of the original code base.

It would be like if J. K. Rowling went to war over the fact that I lifted a few paragraphs from Harry Potter and used them in an entirely different book.

Also this is entirely anecdata, but at my company I'd say we have about a dozen other engineers actively using copilot and not a single one of them has an issue with it. (ideological or otherwise)
Why? I have no information either way, but I'm curious what their reputation is.
I'm not so sure there was commercial intent.

Their policy was basically around discouraging datahoarders and scrapers as far as I could tell. If I recall correctly, the limit was something like 10 e-books per day per ip address. Not really a huge limit when you consider that there was no limit on file size for things like graphic novels. They never required accounts, and the only thing locked behind a required donation was compute intense tasks like conversion, and send-to-kindle.

The kind of bandwidth/storage that they had to be consuming is quite expensive and I don't blame the organizers for soliciting donations.
It's a social problem that's largely been created by technical solutions. To put simply, radicalization is a lot easier when you give every loon with an axe to grind both a megaphone, and an echo chamber to invite new recruits into.

Now, there are also problems with a world that doesn't give everyone access to 1:N broadcast media, but they are different problems.

> does make performance harder to reason about in principle.

the thing is, you don't reason about performance. you measure it.

Once you've obtained measurements, you can make decisions based on the outcome of said measurements.

If the Runtime (and not just talking about clojure here) makes a decision on performance, and it's suboptimal, your measurements _should_ reveal it - for example, by increasing your input size, the performance graph should show a clear inflexion of where this happens.

The real question is whether you _can_ force the Runtime to do something at the programmer's behest, rather than a hidden decision that you cannot control or change. I believe in clojure, you can change the backing data structure, but i'm not sure if you could do it after the fact?

you can have both MBR and GPT on the same disk. GRUB explicitly supports it too, if it finds a EE00 partition type, it will parse the disk again as GPT and boot normally to boot a second stage of the ESP. A UEFI system will ignore the MBR and use the GPT table to boot directly into the ESP. The Gentoo wiki has a description how to set this up.
The download limit was per day per ip address, and they would remove limits for active community members. I have a hard time believing they were doing anything more than paying for hosting bills.
I always get the feeling that I am not good with big numbers.

It sounds like shareholders won’t be directly impacted but companies deciding to do buybacks might decide otherwise with a tax. It’s marginal at 2% but imagine this hits 5-10%. Then buybacks might make less sense for a company. That will impact shareholders who are usually employees who have been working their asses off for years and have lucked out with a company that actually offers buybacks.
Fair point. It's a bad situation for everybody. Digging for blame probably leads to lockdowns and printing money in the Corona days, and later to eco-legislation being passed in Europe right before Russia started WW3. Plus, of course, Russia for starting WW3. Ah, and China for using real estate as savings accounts, and burning a fair 50% of its international goodwill by squashing civil rights in Hong Kong.

Stripe CEOs are just trying to do right by their company and most of their employees. But yes, times are tough for everybody, and I probably shouldn't have minimized that.
