All Linux kernel livepatch stuff are paid services, as I understand it, the Linux kernel live patches aren't possible to just produce automatically, it requires a team with enough Linux kernel knowledge to make it work and usually such teams want to get paid.

Also, I think that the base Linux kpatch tools are open source, but the infrastructure that RedHat/SUSE/Canonical/etc use to provide them are not. However, I think the Gentoo folks do have some open infra code.

ControlNET and Stable Diffusion: A Game Changer for AI Image Generation
Would be happy to chat about this or learn more. I am a manager of a remote team, and have not been a manager of an in-person team, and I can't quite envision how much more challenging my work is compared to if my team was co-located each day.
Some people have symmetric gigabit (or faster) home internet these days.

Renting slices of someone else's shared HW hardly compares in terms of price to owning the full machine. Expected lifetime of some cheap SBC you'd use for hosting your personal projects is ~10 years. It can cost say EUR 50-100 to run it that long these days. 10 years of that hetzner VM is EUR 577. That's 500 EUR I can do something else with per machine.

Whenever I try calculating HW ownership vs renting in the "cloud" for personal usecases it at worst comes up to paying off in a year, and usually sooner.

There are also many other benefits of having physical access to the HW.

Just right now about 7 SBCs I run have total cost of ownership at $20 on average each and I've been running them for 5-7 years...
Most of them cancel out. Think of it like summing an infinite array of an equal number of 1 and -1 and then a 2. The sum of that array is 2.
Just recently I linked my home LAN with my VPS with WireGuard. I needed to configure queues on my home router because I got consistent 100MBps on the wire and this is a bit too much for my VPS provider (too much to pay, not to handle).

Not wanting to invest time makes sense, but I think you'll definitely get return on investment by learning C. It's doesn't end with rust. Learning C's approach to memory will give you a much better understanding of pretty much all object oriented and imperative languages and give you a better understanding about how memory might be used under the hood in higher level languages in general.

It won't take you too long either! Compared to modern languages, C is very small and very simple and likely won't take as long as learning any other popular language in use today. You can learn all of C in the amount of time it takes most people to learn just the basics of a borrow checker. If you only focus on the aspects related to memory (stack, heap, sizing, arrays, pointers) it would likely only take half a day, if that.
In addition to the near-Ron-Paul media mistreatment pointed out by another commenter, there is evidence he was physically attacked before "backing" Clinton.
Maybe in those examples, but we're talking 20 people from 100 years ago. A lot has changed. Look at all the people earning good salaries at tech companies today. How many of them are from privileged backgrounds? Probably not that many. Looking at the bios of Forbes 400 CEOs or VCs or founders we see a similar pattern. Not so much being in the top 1% but more like the top 20%.
At this point there isn't a compelling reason to switch for any party. The experience on Android vs. IOS isn't meaningfully different to me, and while I think Apple probably does a better job with privacy (which I personally value highly) they do a worse job with the ownability of the device (repairability, sideloading, app store bullshit, etc.). I really wish there were more choices, but we seem stuck with two detestable options. To each their own I guess.
If we station ourselves outside of the quantum system, then the answer is that each reality puts a complex number on every outcome, which get summed into a single complex number. Then, the magnitude squared of that sum becomes the probability with which we will observe that outcome.

If we put ourselves inside the system then saying anything about it comes with a lot of implied philosophy about what "we" are.
Somewhere around a million. It may have already been addressed at some point as I don't remember seeing it for quite a while.

Oops, that wasn't entirely what I was intending to communicate! (art vs. Art is a big topic—who/what defines what is acceptable as art, etc.? Duchamp's Fountain comes to mind)

Perhaps I'd suggest it's your effort to make the work shine, not just in the actual creation of the work, but in the contextualization of it as well. (This is connected to your point on narrowness—if your vision is narrow, you can't contextualize.)

The most literal example that comes to mind is Virgil Abloh feeling the need to prove what he was making was art, and relying on his research and the work of his inspirations as evidence or "proofs." He discusses further here: https://youtu.be/zKYp1t0-xYw?t=1313
> I think you're falling into the trap of anthropomorphizing Bing here.

This is a good point and one that I wondered if I should clarify when writing my comment.

To be clear, I don't believe Bing Chat "wants" to do anything or is being hostile in the sense that it's acting emotionally to the situation. All I think it's doing is stimulating the kind of response that you might expect a human to have were it asked the same things, and in this case that is a hostile response.

At the end of the day whether it's doing something because it's algorithm predicted that might be what a human would do, or because it's acting on some emotional impulse is largely irrelevant. The thing that matters here is the behaviour, and these AIs are frequently demonstrating behaviour that we humans would describe as hostile.

I also agree with you that Bing Chat poses no threat. What I'm worried about is that it's easy to imagine a world in which the steps you outlined here are maybe two or three years away.

The fact no one seems to be saying, hold up, maybe we should slow down a bit here is what worries me. It seems like the only thing people want to talk about is how to make the the AI better and what Google / Microsoft is doing wrong. And frankly I'm not sure I want Microsoft to continue developing something like this and so recklessly deploying it to the public without some government oversight. It's not today, but at some point this story obviously isn't going to end with a funny Twitter post.
That is a good point, we will have it updated tomorrow.

Yes, the idea is more complex. "Vastly?" I think not. Nor are your attempts at analogy there at all persuasive. You are vigorously handwaving and arguing by bald assertion.

Your objection to ME handwaving is obtuse. I am not the one claiming it is impossible. I don't have to show all possible ways it might be done don't work. Don't resort to the usual crank attempt of defending your initial claim by insisting I disprove it. You are obligated to explain in detail why the idea can't work. I don't think you can, your huffing and puffing notwithstanding.

I think you could become more persuasive if you retreated to a time limited claim, say the next 30 years. The best argument would not be complexity, but rather the cost of the orbital lasers.
I don't have a good answer for you, but the best advice I'd say is to read Feynman's book "QED: the Strange Theory of Light and Matter" (it's really just a four part lecture series).

> In the case of payments group Stripe, RSUs worth millions of dollars will start expiring from 2024 and risk being forfeited unless the company buys them out, changes the terms of the awards or launches an IPO.

> Employees face a personal tax liability when RSUs vest. But staff are unable to sell any of these shares without the company launching a flotation. To get around the problem, Stripe wants to withhold a portion of the stock equivalent to the tax liability from employees’ awards. Separately, it plans to sell stock to investors, using the money raised to pay the employees’ tax bills and buy up any stock they wish to sell.

> Stripe intends to raise enough to cover the tax bill associated with the RSUs handed out to many of its 8,000 employees since 2017, and will hold back some of the value of employees’ shares as compensation, according to a person familiar with the matter.

> “Stripe has realised they have to help the employees out,” said Glen Kernick, Silicon Valley leader at valuations provider Kroll. “When they [RSUs] vest, that’s a taxable event. As an employee, you now own the shares and owe tax but you don’t have the ability to pay your tax bill by selling shares. That’s obviously viewed as a hardship.”

TLDR stripe needs cash to pay taxes to provide employee liquidity if they don’t IPO, and this ain’t a great macro to IPO

I don't really use dependency injection. I once had tried to penetrate a Java program that used dependency injection using Guice to initialise a bunch of things/dependencies, and I found it abstracted away the control flow that I really couldn't figure out how to modify things at initialization time. I eventually abandoned the pursuit because I was out of time and had to work on other things.

But looking at this example, I don't really see the benefit in the example. You save 2 lines of code, but now you have all these additional build steps you need to maintain? I'm trying to honestly see the value of dependency injection; admittedly in Go it's a lot easier to follow and understand these frameworks compared to Java, but I'm not really understanding how it's saving time or helping me. The other issue is I have to understand the concept of dependency injection and while simple at its core, a quick google gives you examples and tutorials in the most complicated framework.

I really dislike these abstractions that hijack the flow of initialising your program; I'd rather just do everything manually. Maybe I've not met a codebase where I need to manage say 100 dependencies, but even then, I'd probably just prefer straight-line obvious code on individually setting them up and initialising the program.

Edit: I realise I actually like manual DI, I just despise the frameworks and found them more irritating than useful. Dependency injection has never been an easy topic for me to understand.
Your comparison to a space elevator is pretty disingenuous.

We have planes that run on energy beaming down from space. Solar impulse 2 worked. Month-long endurance solar drones have existed for a year or two. Payload sucks, and wingspan is long, but that doesn't change the fact they work.

We have battery powered planes. The tech is superior to ICE in every way but carrying enough energy to fly long distance (which is the deal breaker).

Solar alone is insufficient due to energy density and efficiency, but a few kw per m^2 would work. A 2kW/m^2 monochromatic light would solve both of these. Existing PV tech is about 80-90% efficient at its bandgap. Epoxy some standard quarter cells into the top of an airbus, shine a 1000nm laser a few times as bright as the sun on it and your "complex" receiver is done.

Nothing needs inventing to make it work. The batteries can provide a safe abort in anything except a transpacific route.

Will it beat syn fuel economically? Almost certainly not. But there are no completely out there engineering challenges involved. Just a similar level of engineering to any new airframe.
The people described in the article don’t seem to have been “pushed incredibly hard” by their family or circumstances. For the most part it seems like the opposite - they were just given access to a lot of resources and expertise to help them in the directions they were already heading.
You're getting pushback but I have to agree.

I'm disappointed with how unsophisticated modern web development is. Our tools and processes are extremely fragile and error prone, and frequently produce bug ridden junk. So much so that we feel the need to rewrite entire apps every n years if it hasn't already died under it's own weight by then.

The output we produce is 99% predestined by the tooling/framework we are placed in front of. And then we claim to be craftsmen.
Or, you can just leave them. HN is currently my only social media account. And to be honest I don't miss any of the others even though they were at times useful they are also a huge distraction and time sink. My productivity has absolutely jumped up since ditching them. As soon as you start to be treated like a captive audience on account of the social graph and the networking effects it is high time to remind the petty billionaires that in the end they are rich by the grace of their users and that what goes up can very well be brought down again.
The example:

I wonder what is unlocked by creating their chip that couldn’t also be achieved using intel and nvidia products? Surely the same product can be delivered but the main difference is energy use?

Sometimes the discussion I observe among scientific experts resembles the type of discourse I've seen from Marvel fans debating the finer points about multiverses and incursions within their comic book canon.
The path integral suggests that all of the possible realities are like waves. When these waves are added up, they can interfere with each other in a way that only one of the possible realities can be seen. It's like when you throw two stones into a pond at the same time. The waves created by the stones will interfere with each other and create a single pattern on the surface of the water. In the same way, the path integral suggests that all of the possible realities can interfere with each other and create a single reality.
I do get the sentiment I will say. Like when I first got a job as a SWE all I did was CRUD apps and they are all fairly similar. Then I worked on wordpress for a while and it felt even worse. For about 6 years now I've personally moved away and work on some more exciting stuff. A lot of that though is still just DB read-write and display at the end of the day, and that's fine imo. I am very skeptical about AI however if I take the most positive spin and it automates away the boring? That could be good?

Cool, but the paper's criticism of rust as a moving target also applies to the various pre-processor annotations in C-rusted. While true that the C preprocessor is used to make the annotations vanish (thus yielding normal C code), it is disingenuous to claim that the standardization of ISO C means that C-rusted is a stable target for any programming project. If you take that at its word what you get is that the unsafe language is standardized, but the safety features are not, which means that it is very easy to leak incorrect code to the C compiler, and then customers.

On the journey to find the primary source (https://sive.rs/2008-08-tim-ferriss), I came across this fact that Reznor started NIN in 1998 and was the only permanent member of NIN until 2016.

I personally prefer to self host Proxmox with ZFS. It is ready for enterprise use and can be easily backed up via external drives. There is even a Raspberry Port (https://github.com/pimox/pimox7), but I would never use a Raspberry to self-host again (not because it is not suitable or reliable, just because I need a little more power)

I use

Fujitsu D3417-B1
Xeon e3-1225v5
32GB DDR4 ECC
Samsung 980 Pro 2TB (with up-to-date firmware)
Pico PSU 150w

and it is using 9.3W in Idle and about 12W running my daily services. It can even run a macOS VM for experimenting / software development, USB-Passthrough, Replication, etc. etc.

It is rock solid stable, not too power hungry, can run nearly ANYTHING and I never looked back.
Self hosting can allow your budget to go much further. Tiny PCs like Intel NUCs or Lenovo Thinkcentres[1] are very light on power usage. I bought one that idles at 10 watts, which is $10.32/yr for me (assuming I never power it off). I bought it on Ebay and upgraded it to 32 GB memory for a total cost of $250. The cheapest comparable server on Hetzner costs around $36/mo so I break even in less than a year.

For production purposes, a public cloud has many benefits you can't get at home. But for hobby purposes, keeping the cost low is most important for me.
