Hrm, longtime gentoo user here, since 2002. I have used everything else, slack, redhat (since like the MIT TSX archive times, still have the floppies), debian, mandrake, SuSe, MX, Anti-X, Puppy, Yellow Dog. Those are distros I _used_ not installed for fun, but used for work or daily drivers. I am not sure why, but I keep going back to Gentoo. My main desktop at work and home is gentoo after a fairly long hiatus of Slack, Mint, MX. I think I see (with the exception of MX and Slack) a lot of distros going the way of "Windows" in their design choices towards users.

If you are not a "power user" perhaps gentoo is not for you. I teach at a uni, and feel like if you are not a developer, perhaps most modern linux distros are for you... but if you are a developer, then perhaps something like Gentoo or Arch might be a good fit. NOT because you will be doing more work, but because a lot of the others are going towards spoon-fed operating systems that make too many choices for you, or phone home / make search suggestions too much for you.

OTOH, perhaps you can stop emerging bloated apps. Or get something newer than a "old laptop". No one said you should recompile every dang linux package on machine that has a slower than everything else storage and bus because it is portable. Recall, you normally sacrifice for portability.

I hope you continue to use linux, no matter the flavor, and to each his own, but I think many comments here are along the same thread: "I tried this free thing, where I could design it myself, build it all myself, and it was _work_ and I did not like it", when in reality the idea is "you have ultimate control, and it will cost you a little _work_, are you OK with that?"

No matter how you think about it - it works.
It's a fair question.

Nvidia's NCCL and AMD's RCCL provide parallelism constructs that really are hidden at the framework level (such as PyT).

However, I don't think that you would want to hide model, data, or tensor parallelism. It's too important a consideration for performance and training convergence impact.

At least in scientific computing, I've never observed effective means of automatic parallelism expressed across many nodes despite decades of research. I'm not optimistic this will be effective anytime soon.
Everything. It was the McCarthyist era. The Black Panthers were an explicitly Marxist organization and US state was the most powerful anti-communist organization the world had ever seen.
Medium failed because "words on the internet" isn't a business model. People are writing to be seen, not to advertise for Medium.com. Over time, that means Medium becomes a halfway house for the "published on Inc.com / Entrepreneur.com" army of freelance content writers in between jobs.

For Medium to make money, it will always come down to pumping "user growth" and advertising to help the site owners sell it off to some bloated media conglomerate like Conde Nast.

BTW, all the issues with Medium.com that you've described are things I am already seeing on Substack.

- Lots of interesting writers gathering at the latest "for writers" venue

- Everybody remarking how different the clean interface is compared to the ugly popup-bar filled mess that they came from

- Some achieve overnight success, pulling other writers into the platform

- Platform starts running out of VC funding runway and starts tweaking the site to deliver more 'conversions'. Instead of a clean design, you'll now see a "sign up" popup that has to be dismissed. Writers are also encouraged to paywall early, so that great article link that you sent to your friend is no longer accessible because it's for paid subscribers only.
No. I say this because media and those in power have perfected the ability to portray black organizing in a menacing way. And portraying programs that help poor people in racial rather than class terms. So a farmer getting government subsidies or a poor white person getting welfare can be pissed off at “welfare queens” because the latter are associated with being lazy blacks and the former with being down on their luck.
It's not political. Which programs to allocate the government budget to is political. This is a human rights issue. Extensive research has been done into the relationship between the physical, psychological, and social aspects of sex and gender, and the definitions we use today reflect our current understanding of how these interact, acknowledging that some people's psychological and social selves may not correspond with their physical biology. Refusal to acknowledge these people's lived experience is pigheaded ignorance and rank bigotry.
> We only had an 8MB quota for our entire Unix account in college.

This brings backs some memories for me. In high school we only had a 10MB quota. I remember bringing in stacks of floppies to workaround the quota so I could download junk off their T1 and using file splitting programs. One of my friends even blew all his McJob money on an external Zip drive. By the time I started college USB thumb drives came into vogue and made everything so much easier.
> The costs are hard to calculate

Costs are exposed through life-threatening accidents. Even FAA new plane certifications are outsourced to the plane makers (737MAX).

> for the decision makers of our society

Individuals have refused to hold elected politicians accountable. We generally vote for the dime worth of difference between the two major parties. Voters don't seem to care.

Individual consumers could boycott and never set foot in a 737MAX until it goes through the FAA type certification process. I boycott that jet. Apparently few take that personal action.

Not saying there’s harm in realizing this, but the weirdest formatting choices in black seem to arrive deep in numerical formulae, where formatting actually makes differences in clarity. Under our typesetting-perfectionist overlords, our only recourse is to grow variable names so that the formulae make sense.

And this defeats trying to reuse variable names from publication, so that a more-international audience can follow ‘ss’ rather than sum_of_squared_residuals_dude.

Julia promotes this as a war cry over Python.
You can use chrome with '--headless --print-to-pdf' instead of wkhtmltopdf, it worked better when I last looked into this around 2017-2018. Needed to generate a consistent pdf and couldn't rely on the users browser because they might render slightly differently depending on the browser.

Instead I ran a "microservice" that just took html and generated PDF's using chrome, it worked pretty well.
Recently leaked text messages between the Seattle mayor’s office and the Parks district during the Black Lives Matter protests suggests that people in power have no problems denying people basics things like water if it is politically convenient for them to do so.

> if you saw me masking on BART in early 2020, wave

Which line, what time? :) I only started riding BART in late 2019, so only had a few months of it before stopping. I'm sure I would have been ill more often than yearly if my ridership had continued.

I agree. Additionally the masks will more than pay for themselves when it comes time to cash out my accumulated sick leave when I leave this job.
False Truths, Social Lies: the use of falseness and challenges of social proof
It is simpler, but not for the reasons you describe.

The issue is that once you have layers of middle managers - as in managers managing managers, a snake pit ensues. Nobody gets into middle management and says “ahh at last, I’ve arrived”. The goal is to amass influence and push up as quickly as possible to try and reach the executive level.

From here, it becomes a very political situation, rife with corporate climbers try to push each other down into the mud to reach upward. One way to appear influential is to manage a large team of people. Your main goal is to pull headcount for your org chart, while your peers are also trying to do the same. So you invent ridiculous “strategies” with inflated headcount requirements and promise astronomical results.

It all stems from the personal ambitions of the people in the middle. And of course, they’re usually the most out of touch with the real operations of the company because they’re only peripherally connected to any actual work as a distant connection in the telephone game.
"If they keep the alcohol, it is probably for a good reason."

Can you name medications that require alcohol vs an alternative? Most of the alternatives are innocent like glycerin, or similar to food preservatives.

My main point is that there is hypocrisy. Saying that one drop is dangerous yet having it be heavily prevalent children's meds... one of these isn't right.

Dry Scooping: A Risky Dietary Practice Common Among Adolescents and Young Adults
This is accurate. I laughed :).
It might be worth us outlining a workflow (and I’d be interested to hear yours). I realize that the impulse to be afraid of whitespace changes is reasonable for several reasons: one because git (for example) has defaults that show differences & conflicts on whitespace changes, and you have to change the defaults, two because git and other version control systems are usually much less great at managing cross-line whitespace changes, and three because not everyone is (or should have to be) an expert in their version control tool.

Specifically, the workflow here that allows intra-line whitespace without worry is to merge with whitespace disabled, and run the auto-formatter after merging. This means that vertically aligning things is almost innocuous, but having certain tools re-wrap text can still be problematic, at least as far as I know. If there are good ways to handle that second problem, I want that.
Both Apple and Google use webauthn as second factor, never the first.
"We included 12 trials (10 cluster‐RCTs) comparing medical/surgical masks versus no masks to prevent the spread of viral respiratory illness (two trials with healthcare workers and 10 in the community). Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness (ILI)/COVID‐19 like illness compared to not wearing masks (risk ratio (RR) 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.84 to 1.09; 9 trials, 276,917 participants; moderate‐certainty evidence. Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza/SARS‐CoV‐2 compared to not wearing masks (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.72 to 1.42; 6 trials, 13,919 participants; moderate‐certainty evidence)."

pg_stat_statements is useful, but it isn't completely free, e.g. [1] (admittedly from pg12, which is three major versions ago).

I do not think I have ever felt imposter syndrome, in all honesty. Do most people honestly feel this?
Congratulations on 2022 revenue, and thank you for sharing! Your blog posts are genuinely inspirational because of how honest you’ve been about your mistakes.

I remember reading your first post about bootstrapping and thinking that you were spending a lot of time on weird products and making rash decisions with money. I did not think you’d last long. Very happy to be wrong.

Those early years pre-TinyPilot are what make this success inspiring: they’re proof that you don’t need to immediately start out as a product or business genius to build a real company. It’s an antidote to the “oh I should learn more before starting” attitude that stops me.

I really hope this doesn’t come off like a backhanded “if this idiot could do it, anyone can” comment, because that’s not how I feel. Just trying to express real admiration for your transparency, perseverance, and now success.
The pilot would have had nothing to do with this as they're facing the other way, the plane is controlled by the tug during pushback.

With alcohol, its often times added to medicines as an inactive ingredient with little to no therapeutic value. It also has alternatives.

My main point is that's it's hypocritical to say one drop is dangerous and then have a myriad of children's meds containing it when alternative ingredients exist.

Yes. If justice means a criminal going to jail, defense attorneys do stand up and fight tooth and claw to prevent that happening. That is thier job. It is the job of the prosecution, the government, to overcome and enforce justice.
> Adding a service mesh onto Kubernetes seems to bring a lot of complexity for a few benefits

I think the benefits are magnified in larger organizations or where operators and devs are not the same people. And the complexity is relative to which solution you pick. If you're already on Kubernetes, linkerd2 is relatively easy to install and manage; is that worth it? To me it has been in the past.
I tried that as well, but maybe I did not use it correctly.

What CERN discoveries can I tell my 9yo about?

Here are some CERN discoveries that you can explain to your 9-year-old:

1. Higgs boson particle: This particle was discovered at CERN and helps explain why other particles have mass. Think of it like an invisible glue that holds everything together.

2. Antimatter: CERN is also known for discovering antimatter, a type of matter that has the opposite charge of normal matter. When matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate each other and release a huge amount of energy.

3. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC): This is a huge machine that CERN built to study particles and the fundamental nature of the universe. It's like a giant microscope for particles!

4. The internet: CERN played a major role in the development of the internet, which allows people to communicate and share information all over the world.

5. Dark matter and dark energy: CERN scientists are working to understand these mysterious substances that make up most of the universe. Dark matter and dark energy don't interact with light, so they are invisible to us. But scientists can detect their presence by observing their effects on other objects.

I hope this information helps you explain some of the exciting discoveries that CERN has made!

I’m happy to see a built-in I2C responder library, even if it is an incorporation of the most popular community one. I’m working on a board with a bare RP2040 as a responder and currently my firmware is in MicroPython, which at best has a polling, third-party responder library. I’ve already decided to now move the firmware to the C SDK and this seems like good timing.
Ask HN: How do we protect news from deepfakes?

Assuming deepfakes and deepfake-spotters one-up each other are there other methods we can use to prove a video (clipping?) came from an authentic source?
Technology improves livelihoods. That much is straightforward. The role of capitalism, however, is more complicated. Capitalism is an extremely brutal state of affairs and the industrial revolution itself was responsible for an incomprehensible number of deaths (see: Primitive Accumulation). And in its more modern forms, capitalism maintains more poverty than it resolves.

Other stories from healthcare workers:

Other girls were disturbed by the effects of testosterone on their clitoris, which enlarges and grows into what looks like a microphallus, or a tiny penis. I counseled one patient whose enlarged clitoris now extended below her vulva, and it chafed and rubbed painfully in her jeans. I advised her to get the kind of compression undergarments worn by biological men who dress to pass as female. At the end of the call I thought to myself, “Wow, we hurt this kid.”

The overwhelming majority of our patients are white, but this girl was black. She was put on hormones at the center when she was around 16. When she was 18, she went in for a double mastectomy, what’s known as “top surgery.” Three months later she called the surgeon’s office to say she was going back to her birth name and that her pronouns were “she” and “her.” Heartbreakingly, she told the nurse, “I want my breasts back.” The surgeon’s office contacted our office because they didn’t know what to say to this girl.

I would attribute a stable Gentoo system to skill and patience, not luck.

Out of curiosity, what is your use case for this particular Gentoo install? 15+ years is a long time to keep the same machine running.
To the last point: until their claim is processed in the UK, which can take years, they have no right to work and have to rely on meagre public handouts or work under the table to survive. This makes them a drain on taxpayers despite being able to support themselves if they were allowed, and paid employment promotes integration. I think it stays the way it is because of "taking the jobs" of natives and it also allows politicians to demonize them as a drain on the public purse (which they are but through no fault of their own) as a distraction/othering.
> But also the pro is that if you lose access to your sync fabric X (security breach, account closure), you can still use sync fabric Y. It's like backup fido2 tokens.

This is forced. I'd rather decide to do that myself depending on what my risk tolerance is. The charter of the WebAuthn working group is to provide a phishing resistant authentication mechanism, not an account-closure resistant mechanism.

> I think the security benefit of passkeys outweigh the small vendor lock-in they might create.

Absolutely, but we shouldn't have to choose! I'm not so sure the Big 3's desire for you to use their systems outweigh their desire for you not to get phished (since it also carries a cost for them), so I believe they at least have some incentive to play nice.

> It wasn't colonialist, in that the USSR did not expand into overseas areas of nonwhite people

That is a peculiar definition of "colonialist".

For instance, the ancient Romans colonized Great Britain, despite the fact that the Romans and the Britons were both "white". The Arabs colonized Spain, despite the fact that the Arabs were "non-white" (by some definitions) and the Spaniards were "white". The Mongols colonized a whole bunch of areas, of pretty much every ethnicity that exists in Eastern Europe and a large swath of Asia. And so on.

I agree with your broader point but I’m pretty sure the Supreme Court case is about a technicality involving foreign bank account reporting, basically whether a failure to file that you had 5 foreign bank accounts is 5 counts or 1 count of FBAR violations.
