> The whole file is effectively a write-what-where primitive2. In addition to that, the Count Info Table is not bounds checked either...

File formats like that, with many offsets in the file, are troublesome. There used to be more formats like that. Microsoft Word .doc is the classic example.

OpenJPEG 2000 has a similar problem. I just hit that yesterday.[1] Valgrind is finding references to un-initialized data which affect control flow, and running the JPEG decoder on valid but truncated files (which is allowed) is causing bad memory reference crashes and errors.

New formats like this are rare. People have learned. A modern exception is Unreal Engine 5's Nanite has much offset data, and there may be an attack surface there for hostile game content. Nanite is a way to store a graphics mesh with both multiple levels of detail and common submeshes. It's a hierarchy of directed acyclic graphs, flattened into a linear file with offsets. And, sure enough, there are many crash reports. At least Unreal provides a validator for the format.

(If only C/C++ had slices in the language. Most of the things for which pointer arithmetic is used can be done with slices. Slices really are pointer arithmetic, with sanity.)

Right, and that's why Java introduced checked exceptions in 1.0. A feature which wasn't proven back then and remains unproven now.

Another example being overengineered streams. Parallel streams look really cool as a demo, but have been proven dangerous in their default configuration (they can exhaust the default thread pool).
It's an open protocol, right? So theoretically, even if the company went evil, anyone could build their own client right?
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

I see no carve out about being paid. Your reasons for your speech are your own, you shouldn’t be forced to register to voice opinion about a government official even if you’re employed to give opinions. This stuff isn’t about transparency in government like lobbyist rules. It’s about intimidated critics, which is precisely the reason the first amendment was deemed necessary.
Yet after all the attacks in the media it's still trading 1:1

I don't understand it
I'd be curious to see properly done benchmarks against top of the line Intel or AMD machines. I'd be surprised if the Mac was faster.

I do understand that people want the Mac for the build quality of the laptop, not just for speed.
AWS us-west-2 is housed in The Dalles and Prineville, Oregon. Not only are they near a massive wind farm in the Columbia Gorge, but also quite near the Columbia river's many hydro-electric dams. Facebook and Apple also have Prineville data centers. They are built there intentionally. Electricity at many data centers is quite carbon-lean.
It's true we can't know for 100% certain, but things like third party audits can give one sufficient confidence (depending on your risk tolerance, of course)

I wish I did! It's very skewed towards those wanting to contribute to Fedora, so the part before makes sense.

The doc above (and a former roommate) are the best resources I have!

I've had to expend a bit of trial/error to familiarize myself with a number of quirks... the rough process looks like this:

fedpkg mockbuild
copr-cli build $ProjectName ./results_$PKGNAME/path/to/project.srpm -r $mock_root

This assumes there's an RPM spec file in your working directory and proper handling of sources within/nearby. Fedpkg will create a 'results' directory with the SRPM and RPMs

The -r $mock_root part can be repeated if you want to build against multiple targets in COPR
Why do you think that misses the point? Seems pretty insightful.
I would hire a private investigator to get some dirt on the bullies' families and then have my kid ready with a response the next time he gets called out for NOT having the latest iPhone - "Well, I might NOT have an iPhone but at least my father doesn't have a second family in Tampa" or "You might think my Android is worse than your iPhone but at least my parents didn't need to remortgage the house two times to afford it" or "Maybe your sister can get me one then with all that OnlyFans money she's making?"

I am certain this would get the right kind of attention from the bully's parents the second little Johny makes dinner talk the most uncomfortable day in HIS family's life.
> When India did [nuclear weapons testing], it did lead to proliferation, specifically, in Pakistan.

And, in the end, neither of them has used those weapons offensively or defensively in close to 50 years (25 years for Pakistan).

> Myanmar also appears to have had a nuclear weapons program in the 00s, with assistsance from North Korea, which may or may not have since been abandoned.

Yet they haven't advertised it or tried to use them (if they ever had them) in any capacity. As for North Korea, while they do test missiles on occasion, they have not made use of any nuclear capability against another country.

> Similarly, Israel's program contributed to the motivation for Iran's and Syria's programs (reactive [both of which appear to have also gotten cooperative aid from the Khan network and/or North Korea, which circles back to India/Pakistan]) and to technology for South Africa’s nuclear weapons (cooperative).

Yet, all the focus is on Iran in terms of sanctions and fear/warmongering about them developing nuclear capability. Every single example in the past has shown that developing such capability has not resulted in any type of nuclear conflict.

If you are in a lab (natural science lab) or anywhere close to data, I bet you it is much more productive, even more so when you have to factor in that the code might be exposed to non-technical individuals.
Yeah, but Ampro hasn't made a Little Board in decades; I've been crusing eBay for a reasonably priced Little Board for a while. There are, however, a lot of 'modern' Z-80 (and better, Z-180) SBCs running around that would be cheaper and easier to find. As another commenter pointed out, check out Tindie or google for "RC2014", for example.

A non-problem. Hubble is nearing the end of it's lifespan. Future satellites can be put into higher orbit or will contain technology that can compensate.

People don't understand how big and empty space is, even around our planet.

The only people it might impact are amateur astronomers, who aren't exactly making discoveries anymore.
Thinking about this a bit more, I agree. Definitely not a parent haha but I would struggle between just capitulating and buying an iPhone or just holding firm and saying no, so I was thinking of somewhere in the middle but looking back I can definitely see how that could also cause some unintended issues.
He never saw the propaganda film!
I think you can do both. It can be a teachable moment where you talk about bullying, materialism, etc, but also show that you're willing to listen to the kid's grievances, and support them. I think what is important is letting the kid decide what to do and giving them some agency over the situation (where they currently have none). If they want to take a principled stand, they should be encouraged to do so. If they've decided that it's not the hill they want to die on, that's okay too, so long as it is an active choice.
I used the word "undesirable" purposefully. The economy is not the be all end all metric of a successful society; in my opinion at least

Marc Andreessen on Pausing Alcohol
for those who don't use twitter:

"Always carry a flask of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore always carry a small snake." -- W. C. Fields

About six months ago, I stopped drinking alcohol. I feel much better, and I’m mad as hell about it.

I never really drank through my 20s and 30s, but grew to really enjoy whiskey through my 40s, coincident with “Mad Men”, and roughly a thousand academic studies that proved that alcohol is actually good for you. Win/win!

I had read that the sure sign of an alcoholic is someone who drinks at night, by himself, at home, so I decided to only drink at night, by myself, at home.

I was even scurrilously quoted as saying “the perfect day is 10 hours of caffeine followed by 4 hours of alcohol”, which I did indeed say, and which is still indeed true.

Unfortunately, in recent years, it’s become clear that most or all — probably all — of the scientific studies on the benefits of alcohol are fake, the scientists unwitting or witting victims of selection effects. As Michael Crichton says, “wet streets cause rain”, or rather wet streets don’t cause rain. It turns out that sick people often don’t drink, or subjects just lie to researchers about their consumption outright. There go the studies.

It is now pretty definitively clear that no amount of alcohol is good for you. Andrew Huberman recently summed this conclusion up on his podcast; the topic made me so enraged I never listened to the episode, but I did read the notes.

Andrew says “the best amount of alcohol to drink is no alcohol” — imagine someone who both hates and loves humanity that much.

Since I stopped drinking, I feel much better. I don’t need as much sleep, but my sleep is better. I’m more alert through the day. I’m cogent and focused at all times. I have more energy when I exercise, and it’s easier to control my diet.

It’s great, and I am super mad about it.

I feel like the color has drained out of my evenings[]. Spending time with people is still fun, but now it’s hard to sit still and watch a movie or read a book and unwind at the end of a hard day. I’m more prone to just work until bedtime. Grump grump grump.

Frankly, I don’t know what Elon is doing farting around with cars and rockets and Twitter, why doesn’t he solve THIS problem[*].

And one of these days, I am going to get deeply, seriously, hammered.

But not today!

[] A lot of people I know are substituting cannabis or hallucinogens for alcohol. I’m not, I won’t touch any of those things — a topic for another time.

[*] I’ve been trying all the alcohol free whiskeys, wine, and beer. So far, no luck on the whiskeys. For wine, Sovi is pretty good. For beer, there are quite a few good choices; I’ve become partial to Hopwtr, which is zero calorie hop-flavored sparkling water. I’m still not drinking either at breakfast, though I am tempted.
General voting for President has always been an absurd idea. It's impossible for most people to make an informed choice on who's best for such a role—it is guaranteed to turn into a propaganda and showmanship contest. That's why we have the electoral college. Unfortunately, that was poorly-designed and fell to games-playing pretty much immediately, so never actually worked the way it was supposed to, and now we're stuck with the downsides of that and the downsides of a kind of weird not-quite popular election for the position, without the benefits of either.
That's a perfectly relevant thing, no?
Remember kids, it's a first amendment violation if Twitter doesn't promote your tweet to its entire userbase, but the government banning speech? Completely acceptable!

If you leave it switched on using 5 cents worth of electricity an hour, how long does it take to cost more?
I'm not trying to invalidate your specific use case, but in general, there's not really any practical difference between ARM64 and x86 for desktop use. ARM is generally perceived as being more power efficient, but the latest x86 mobile processors from AMD (and probably also Intel) are very efficient. The Apple M series does have very tightly coupled RAM and onboard ML & video encode accelerators, but when it comes to plain old compute power & efficiency, AMD and Intel have pretty much caught up afaik.

There were recently a couple of new NUC-type devices based on the outgoing generation AMD mobile processors. I have the Minisforum UM690, based on the Ryzen 6900HX, and it's been working great as my new desktop computer. The iGPU is pretty good too. The Ryzen 6800U (U = efficient variant, 25 W TDP) is about the same as the M2 for performance and power consumption. The 6900HX in this device is the high power variant, default TDP is 45 W but you can lower it to 25 W in the BIOS which should make it about identical to a 6800U. The newer ones with the latest gen Ryzen chips should be much more efficient.
Most of the world ain't drinkin Mate, mate.

And while there is a non-trivial amount of caffine coming from other places like tea, or Monster energy drinks, I'd bet my hat that most of N. America is drinking coffee more than any other caffeinated beverage.
This is fantastic, thanks.
There doesn't have to be a direct tangible threat for people to act on impulses they were taught through a direct tangible threat (see: learned helplessness [0]). That's the way reinforcement learning works on humans, otherwise there would be no concept of ethics - ethics itself is based on generalizing a basic set of rules learned through punishment and reward.

The power is there, because it had an effect on reality, whether you admit it or not. The person has indeed asked, but consider what would happen if the person asked for the whole repository to be deleted, for example, because they personally didn't like the RISC-V architecture: the request would probably not be fulfilled. But the request for removing the cigarette emoji was followed - why? What's the difference between the two?

My theory is that the ratio between the learned "threat" and required effort to avoid the "threat" was low enough to warrant the action. Assuming the effort is a constant (editing a single text file and pushing it to GitHub == removing the repository; ~same amount of clicks), that means that the learned "threat" was high enough to warrant the deletion. The threat comes from the cancel culture that glorifies anyone that presents themselves (or others) as victims. In case of the second - hypothetical - request, there is no such threat, so the request itself would be rendered bizarre and selfish.

> Does anyone know how cost effective a base M1 Mac Studio would be compared to a PC build with comparable cost?

If you normalize to performance, building a comparable PC for things like compiling code can be about half the price. Intel and AMD’s latest top-end consumer CPUs are very, very fast and significantly cheaper.

> Is the power efficiency of Apple Silicon still a major advantage in a desktop system?

If you’re going for ultimate silence and/or you need the smallest machine possible, power efficiency matters.

If you’re spending 99% of your time in the code editor and web browser, your CPU is going to be mostly idle anyway and peak power usage basically doesn’t matter. A decently configured AMD or even Intel system with reasonable fan curves can be plenty quiet for the 1% of time that you’re at 100% CPU usage (hint: embrace the high temperatures and let it throttle, it’s fine).
Absolutely sweet!

We're currently working on a Chatbot for PMs and have had roughly 30 discovery calls in the past month. As part of the Upekhha accelerator, we utilized the founder network there and also reached out to our alumni networks and past colleagues. It was a great chance to catch up with everyone! We're now planning on doing some cold email outreach to our target segment.

I'm happy to talk to folks here as well. Please feel free to reach out to me here or via email (in my profile).
If you want to try to scale this beyond just yourself, you can also look at various 'market research' type agencies. Tons out there that will literally do customer/SME surveys/interviews for you.

Everything from online, in person, video call, etc. They summarize all the findings and give you detail too if you want it.

I think most of the outreach/lead gen happens via LinkedIn. I'm fairly knowledgeable in my industry vertical and get hit up by these companies literally every day - usually try to do 1 or 2 live interviews a month. Generally they'll pay in the $800-$1200 per hour range for this type of expertise.

Did you try Lima on Mac? I never did compare apples to apples, ran an x86 Podman VM and then switched to an arm64 Lima VM and had drastically improved performance.
I completely agree.

I think we tend to like to analyze because it gives us a sense of control. That sounds a little crazy, but the more I break it down (and read the work of intelligent people who had/have similar beliefs), the more I believe it.

A common example is how people examine their feelings and experiences as a means to distance themselves from it and to gain a sense of superiority or power over it. The more we analyze and break it down, the better we think we understand it and have a higher vantage.

In reality all we're doing is constantly separating ourselves further and further from immediate experience at the expense of "knowing" things. Ironically, the more we "know" the less we can actually know because we're so detached from the experiences we're analyzing.

Apologies if that seems totally out there and not founded in anything logical. It's one of those things that makes sense to me, but I haven't yet found practical or concise ways to express the problem.

I definitely do find people, phones, and needing to know everything seems to be in lock-step with this phenomenon. Another good example is the need to put down things (i.e. celebrities, video games, movies, music; typically things we consume as part of cultural expression) which don't actually have much meaning, but might destabilize our identities in some inconsequential way. People do this a tremendous amount, and it means absolutely nothing. Sort of like, oh man that Kim Kardashian, what a loser. I saw her do X and Y on Z tv show and [insert why that's lame you're better]. It's this bizarre need we have to elevate ourselves over experience rather than simply let things be what they are.
So is there freedom of the Press, or is there not?
If it was the correct choice, NYC decision-makers made it correctly merely by accident. Not a single person in 2017 was cleverly predicting the insane knock-on effects of COVID with respect to commercial real estate prices, over-hiring, or the subsequent layoffs.

But it's not at all clear it was correct. Amazon originally said they planned to hire 25,000 people over 10 years. The article says they already hired 8,000 people and are pausing some expansion of construction on one of two sites. They currently have capacity built for 14,000 people. As the article mentions, they are still ahead of their original schedule, despite everything that's happened since then.

That doesn't seem like a very big deal and still a big net win for jobs in the area. The people shitting on woke New York for fumbling the ball are still substantially right: DC is getting those jobs and NYC is not.

If you wouldn't mind showing where I tried to argue that something "is ok" or tried to justify the proposed bill, that would be great.
