A doctor’s job is definitely much more stressful than a tech job. You are dealing with people’s lives every day and a misdiagnosis could possibly lead to someone’s death. Seldom do you have that level of responsibility in a tech job.
They did. It was ignored. IIRC, the exact wording from dispatch was "If it's still alerting at the next sensor it's a problem."
You don’t talk to companies about their problems.

You talk to people about theirs.

Decision makers if you want to solve problems people will pay to solve, even though these may not be the important problems.

Spending too much money is not a good problem to try to solve.

You want to solve problems where cost is not an issue.

Good luck.
My mom learned COBOL while she was getting a degree in accounting; according to her, the language is such a clear mapping from narrative jargon usage in accounting and bookkeeping that she was using features her class hadn't covered, in test solutions, without realizing it, until her teacher asked if she was studying outside materials.

My conclusion was, if ever I want to do business data (transaction) processing, I'll learn it.

I also programmed a mainframe, with JCL on punch cards, in assembler and PL/1, in college; I'm glad I did; without that experience it might be hard to appreciate how radical and revolutionary unix was.
Silverblue is intended for the opposite of that. It is single system image mostly immutable root OS. The goal is to *not* tinker with the core OS, and do your tinkering in containers (toolbox, distrobox, whatever).

Complaining that rpm-ostree took 2 minutes to update 2 packages (rpm-ostree downloaded an entirely new pre-baked filesytem snapshot and applied it atomically) is completely missing the point, as is complaining about selinux after swapping out a bunch of system level stuff. This is like the antithesis of the use case for Silverblue, and an author who has somehow never had to build a package for anything but Arch (deb would be much worse) complaining about the difficulty of building RPMs to install/overlay on the host system, which is not the intended use case *anyway*, is silly.

Commercial spaces have this huge disconnect between occupancy and utilization. Just because nobody is there, it doesn't mean it's not occupied. And rents only ever fall when occupancy stays low for long periods.

So, well, wait a few more years before being surprised.

This could explain what is happening with long covid. Many sufferers (including me) complain about feeling anxious and stressed, along with insomnia. We assume it is from the worry of being sick or having to deal with life. But maybe myocarditis which is common with Covid is causing the anxiety and insomnia. Suffers need sleep and the removal of stress to heal, so people are stuck in an endless loop.

Bitwise NOT (~) gives you a bijection between negative and nonnegative integers in two’s complement representation (which negation doesn’t).

This is for example exploited by the return value of Java’s binarySearch() function, which returns the (nonnegative) index of the search key when found, or else the (negative) bitwise NOT of the index where the key would have to be inserted [0]. In other words, it combines a nonnegative int value plus a flag into one int, while making the flag easily testable (< 0) and the value easily flippable (~). Strangely, the API doc doesn’t mention bitwise NOT, but instead expresses it as numeric negation minus one (which is equivalent, as TFA explains).

[0] As opposed to C’s bsearch(), which only returns a position when the key was found.
I don’t think so, haven’t found a way personally.
Yeah, what we really need is yet another electron app.
I agree we are over supplied with office space.

I do doubt there are many available locations for 25,000 workers in Arlington. This is an indicator that Amazon is unsure about the amount of office space it will need near the capitol, not that they think they can get a better deal with a pre-existing building. Maybe it doubts that it will need as many workers as previously thought. Maybe it questions if they need as much space for the same number of workers. Maybe it is second guessing the value of condensing workers in large hubs.

My guess is that they recently lowered their internal projections for the size of future federal government contracts. Pubic sentiment has lowered since '18, and politicians might be more sensitive to awarding them contracts.
The plex explanation is also disturbing, as plex isnt aware of any vulnerability and lastpass hasnt given them any details.

What if ISO 9001 certification also created individual criminal liability for conformance?

Individual criminal liability would drive accountability down to the people who are actually responsible for the necessary actions. The criminal threat empowers individuals, creating a drive for clear understanding of their roles, deliverables, and artifacts of completion. This accountability works successfully in the aviation industry but comes at a high cost.

Could it work in other industries and could newer technologies lower the cost of implementation? Easier workflow management tools?

What would happen in your company if you or your team members were at risk of criminal investigation for compliance to your ISO 9001 procedures & documentation? Could you do it? Would you stay? Would you want more money?

Isn't it essentially commercial fraud if the organization IS NOT meeting their documented procedures?
Nah, RH was very much it's own little world. Many of us were forced to use it because they offered a package (indemnification, support) that appealed to the bean counters and lawyers. For a few years they patched _everything_ that mattered (compilers, kernel, core libraries) to a massive extent in an attempt to differentiate and to give the appearence of adding value. I don't have fond memories.

I was at IBM around the time of the SCO lawsuit and had to help out with blue washing a few projects. It was also around that time that there had been some high-profile cases of GPL code getting shipped accidentally.
We had a tool that basically grepped through all the source for keywords like "Copyright", "License", or "GPL", and then we had to compile a report and get the lawyers to sign off on it. It didn't seem to me to be a very thorough way of proving provenance because it relied on proper attribution.
The UI for the diff is actually useful though.

I grew up hearing COBOL as a joke language, until one day, I learned that COBOL has the most accurate arbitrary precision math, surpassing modern languages. This is crucial for financial applications. When I then think about how it doesn’t seem any more verbose than SQL, COBOL seems to me like a very respectable language.

Somewhere early in my career, I worked with an accounting app that thought a double float is good enough for a ledger. It was not. We spent too much time trying to track down discrepancies when closing the book for the year, only to find out that a double float is not precise enough for bookkeeping. Lesson learned.
It's a ton of extremely hard work figuring who you know that knows someone and so on, trying to get someone to intro you to someone else, failing most of the time, and so on. The nice thing is once you get the ball rolling a little bit, it seems to roll a little bit easier.

Now, another difficult thing is that if you are at a company as a product manager(etc), spending a couple months stalking people on linkedin, writing emails, taking fruitless calls etc, and making no discernable progress, it is unlikely to be tolerated by your manager, the CEO (if small company), dev team (if folks are already staffed etc). So, set expectations, figure a way to show work even if it's not "progress", keep reminding people on a day to day basis, pull some people in for random calls and hit them up for folks in their network, and so on.

Good luck. This problem (the org one) is the reason most products don't work. There isn't sufficient work done up front because it's messy work which doesn't yield progress in a predictable way so otherwise good product people write awful PRD's (or equivalent), they know they are awful, but they just aren't given the time to do all the work. On the flip side, if you have domain knowledge and experience in the target industry, you might well be able to write out a doc describing the exact right thing to build in about 3 hours.

Doctors, Not Dealers
Pete Buttigieg got pilloried last time he ran for president for a) not having enough experience and b) for being ex-McKinsey, which sank him on the left. He’s got an opportunity now to take one of the worst examples of wall-streetism to the woodshed over spilling a bunch of toxic chemicals in a residential neighborhood because of penny-pinching, which seems like it should be the easiest political slam-dunk in the world for a Democrat in 2023 - it’ll be interesting to see if he actually does so.
I hadn’t considered this. It makes me glad I keep as much as possible within my shell and browser.

In its current state I would recommend Silverblue to two classes of users:

1. Highly technical with a strong background in immutable systems and containerization.

2. Non-technical users whose app needs are completely fulfilled by Flathub.

The latter may require some assistance with initial setup, but if I needed to help a friend or family member maintain their computer then Silverblue would be my first choice.
Well, yes, but predicting a river or a human on a 1-month time scale would be useful in many cases, but the human would be much more likely to diverge in an unpredictable way during that time. Possibly a river could do a few things, and you would get a useful list from the prediction, but a human would probably not have a such simple list.
Do any other fields of work have the insane performance review style as tech? None of my accountant, lawyer or doctor friends do.

For example at a previous tech company the levels were something like this (going by memory, not exact):

1 - Fails to meet expectations.

2 - Meets all expectations, delivers on time with only occasional mistakes.

3 - Exceeds expectations, delivers ahead of schedule with better quality than asked.

4 - Consistently invents new technologies and promotes them within the organization with demonstrable financial gain to the company.

5 - Invented the field (literally, that's what the description said!)

So unless you're one of a few people in the world (who didn't work for that company), it's impossible to be rated a 5. A 4 is also nearly impossible, sure maybe once a decade you might achieve that but nobody on earth does that every year.

Doing your job solidly well is clearly a 2, but a 2 is also seen as a straight road to RIF. In what other industry is that so?

So basically everyone is competing for 3 (mediocre bonus) or 2 (RIF). Sure, a few 4 and 5 get handed out to the friends of the VP but not for meeting that impossible criteria, only through politics.

USB-C might work. USB PD supports 5a at up to 20v, looks like there's also a higher power 50v 5a spec coming up. But if you're using custom PCBs on both ends you don't really care about the PD specification, as long as you're using good quality cables you can treat the connector/cable as a dumb wire that supports sending 5 amps down a few pins. The data lines may also be useful for sending back data from the emitter module, if you had any need for that.

Desktop computers use the Molex Mini-Fit Jr connector for ATX and PCIe power connectors. 6-pin PCIe power cables should be easy to source on the market, you wouldn't need to get custom cables manufactured. Those can carry ~150w. Might also be possible to cheaply source cables with just a 2 or 4 pin connector?
I've been a user of Arch for the past several years and I've always been a huge proponent of the rolling release model. When I first picked up Arch, it was because I needed more modern versions of several tools than were packaged with Fedora or Ubuntu and Arch was a really easy way to get those updates. No more waiting 6 months for the next release cycle to get a new piece of software (yes, I know, "compile it yourself" is always an option--but, I've personally found that nothing destabilizes my system like adding a bunch of software from outside the package manager).

I find my own argument somewhat less compelling today. With systems like Flatpak gaining traction, we're seeing a trend towards separating the Operating System (and I'm thinking more of the overall foundations of a complete, modern system, not just OS = Linux kernel) from the applications for that operating system. Existing package managers handling the OS while Flatpak, AppImage, Snap, etc. become how applications are installed and managed seems to be a good direction.

To be clear, the divide today is far from perfect and we still run into the "Are you running the Flatpak or the distro version of X?" There are also compatibility issues to be worked out. All that said, I do still find the story of "a stable OS with up-to-date applications" compelling.
The law certainly isn’t inclusive.
It was 40 years ago, what I remember it works but not very good. As they say lower down, you need more movement to actually get any sort of speed forward. It was just something I liked doing while waiting for someone to show up.

I'd want an uncensored GPT-3 too and I don't want an AI girlfriend - I just find that chatgpt has too much moral censorship to be fun to use. Want to ask about a health condition? Nope, forbidden. Have a question related to IT security? That's a big no-no. Anything remotely sexual even in educational context? No can do. Yesterday I finished watching a TV show about French intelligence and asked it to recommend some good books about espionage - it told me I shouldn't be reading such things because it's dangerous.

I ended up deleting my account, i won't allow some chatbot made by a couple 20 year old silicon valley billionnaires teach me about ethics and morality.
Pretty sure there was some bill-writing done by companies to call it that, though.

Swift's Approach to System Programming Interface
Think about it from the point of view of a manufacturer/distributor. Speculating a little:

Suppose you decided to carry them and they cost more, both from a material perspective and a reduced repeat customer perspective. Cheap competitors in stores won't just go away and they'll be on shelves next to them. Brand recognition and/or loyalty will only go so far and way too many people will prefer the cheaper cost. So the manufacturer/distributor have to provide both or risk losing sales. Now there's an extra sku in the mix and I'd wager that even with brand recognition the cheaper ones will outsell the Dubai ones, which makes the distribution overheads even more unpalatable. And so on.

I'm sure they've done their research and it doesn't add up from a business sense. It works in Dubai because the regulations eliminate part of the race to zero.

Even selling them directly online is problematic because of distributor territory, exclusivity etc. If the manufacturer competes with its distributor network (that they rely on) then that doesn't end well either.

I doubt it's any sort of conspiracy by 'big led' to keep you from buying them, but is more to do with mundane and unfortunate things like above.

I still want them though.
I had a very similar experience as the author: I used and adored Arch, but the rolling updates got to be over whelming. Fedora (not Silverblue in my case, I still need to try that out) was the perfect solution. Very similar in philosophy to Arch, enough so that the Arch wiki is still 95% applicable, but very stable within major releases. It also was a bonus that learning Fedora also taught me CentOS/RHEL at the same time, which started coming in super handy when I needed super-stable and/or server-side OS. Nearly all of the skills (and even scripts) are fully compatible with both, with only the occasional minor difference. I still have a huge warm spot in my heart for Arch, but I rarely use it anymore (mainly on my pinebook pro for building ARM packages of my software).

It's definitely time for me to try Silverblue

I just tried this on the 7B model. Steady state single threaded CPU performance of 23 seconds/token on a Ryzen 5800x (I'm not sure why it's only using a single thread... usually these libraries automatically use more) and 14GB of ram. It used more than double that amount of ram while loading the model, and the first token took 183 seconds (potentially it's doing more work to parse the prompt that I'm not measuring properly).
Why would you bother whom Mullvad pays if you get your dollars worth of service ?
I'm not a fan either. Java seems to be declining in prevalence in my corner of industry, I'm sure these changes are made by wiser minds than mine, but I'm sceptical about whether such a choice is really right for users.

There once was a new director giving a presentation in an 'all hands' quarterly meeting about how bad our enterprise stability was. He was absolutely right. If we had 3 of 5 weekdays where all major systems ran acceptably, it was a good week. End users hated IT. You could see half the room nodding in agreement. Finally, us minions would be permitted to fix some things.

Wrong. He was fired and gone the week after. Real advances came from a director a few years later, who started with a 'we're doing good but can do even better' all hands. His slides showed nice green monitoring dashboards with a few yellow lights, even if '3 working days in a workweek' was still very much a fact. Change was very very slow and gradual, but at least it happened.

Of course it is. But the problem is proving it.

Failing a student for plagiarism was easy. If they complain, you show them the URL they stole it from.

Failing a student for using ChatGPT is harder. There's nothing to point to as proof. You can mark it down as a bad essay; you'll get complaints but can ultimately stand your ground on "it's not good".

But if it's a passing grade, you're failing to do your job. If it's a failing grade, they're going to fight a lot harder that it's at least barely-passing work, and you have nothing to stand on except your opinion that it doesn't meet that level.

If it's just plain wrong, you can point to that. But often it's merely shallow, vapid, and dumb.

I'm sure you'll always get the grade-hogs who insist that this deserves an A. Such students already exist. But the real problem, I think, is the ones who were hoping to just graduate by any means necessary, and will turn in crappy work with zero effort in the hopes that you'd rather not fight about whether it merits a C or a D.
"Ready Player One" is good.
