I find a software parallel here. When building new systems in poorly understood domains, you can't proceed as if you already know the paradigm. Instead you have to poke around and try things until you find a working paradigm.
Unless we have some super duper military technology no one knows about then we can't possibly stop 1000 russian warheads coming down on our heads. but neither can the Russians
Fancy in the sense of being a loop with an implicit stack. Or maybe just some registers if TCO.

And yet the machines we can actually build are far closer to LBAs than TMs.
Deep understanding is valuable for the areas that will benefit you for having deep understandings. Time is a limited resource. It is impossible to anyone to learn all the detail inner workings of everything on the way down. A thousand years would not be enough as knowledge changes all the time. You need to choose which level of deep understanding you need to have on any subject. And it is more art than science.
Yes, they can. They also can perform illegal searches on Americans, and routinely do. To the tune of hundreds thousands times a year: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi-misused-intelligence-da...

There is absolutely no consequences to anybody for this. If you're going to ask how US citizens tolerate such blatant abuse, and why they don't do something about it - that's a very good question. Please get back to me if you find any answer to it.
M-Disc you can burn at home but do not rely on chemical reactions.

From the website:
Verbatim M DISC™ optical media is the new standard for digital archival storage. Unlike traditional optical media, which utilize dyes that can break down over time, data stored on an M DISC is engraved on a patented inorganic write layer – it will not fade or deteriorate. This unique engraving process renders these archival grade discs practically impervious to environmental exposure, including light, temperature and humidity.

ISO/IEC 16963 standard longevity tests have proven the durability of M DISC technology, and it withstood rigorous testing by the US Department of Defense. Based on ISO/IEC 16963 testing, M DISC media has a projected lifetime of several hundred years.

It makes sense that the design converges with Firefox's, but the flame doesn't really translate the same way with Thunderbird. I never thought of the connotation with "firewall" before, though one could say that it's a bit unfortunate that the mail is set on fire. Firefox moved away from depicting a burning planet.
I can't help but think bad thoughts whenever I see another "static site maker" posted on here, or a brand new way of using JavaScript to render a web page.

Talk about taking the simplest and most durable of (web) formats and creating a hellscape of tangled complexity which becomes less and less likely to be maintainable or easy to archive the more layers of hipster js faddishness you add...
A shame, it's usually like this for most community work.

Totally agree on gaining understanding. I think everyone should be able to get a university level education if they want to.

But an AI buddy should make it way easier to get to deep understanding imo. People are naturally curious and will dive into topics that pique interest/joy.
As a data point, if you examine something more granular and trend/topic tied, like Snowpark (which is close to Clickhouse alone) or "Snowflake Table" I would propose the overall point being made kind of stands.

The original term is ambiguous (I wish Snowflake had different branding) but more specific terms to Snowflake still rank high and are maybe less wonky of a comparison.

It appears not.
Quantizing is porting the weights from using high-precision floating point decimals to lower-precision numbers, e.g., 4-bit and 8-bit ints. Less memory used by the weights means we can run bigger models on the same hardware.

The idea behind quantization is that these models have so many parameters, they'll still work even if we reduce each node's flexibility.
Richard Rhodes is fascinating on Polyani. He viewed the physicists as modern day guildsmen: you achieved merit as a journeyman scientist by proving to other scientists you could do good work and then.. you were one.

He also hung with the economists, it's interesting to read stuff from the early years of the LSE. People get hung up in Hayek but Polyani was hanging out in the same rooms.
FISA judges are not oversight of anything, as we learned, they almost never refuse a request, and even if there's a threat of such refusal, FBI could just lie to them, and they would stamp it, and when the lie comes out, nothing happens. FISA court is just a smokescreen to provide an illusion of oversight.

I have a safe with my critical keys in it but that is only fire proof for 3 hours. If things got really hot those are gone. In theory it shouldn't be an issue as I have them backed up other places but it would give me peace of mind to have them on a fire proof media.
“The lack of a non-disclosure order”
As others have noted, the 'In' looks like a rendering bug with whatever terminal emulator you're using. Otherwise it looks pretty normal: `fopen (const char *restrict filename, const char *restrict mode)` looks like a perfectly good C function, and (if you already know C) it's easy to see the parts that don't look like they belong.

This is precisely where the antiVax mob failed: they simply wanted to deny the science behind the epidemiology to refuse to vaccinate, and they had no alternate theory beyond lizard-people.

Most of the "but there is no good evidence" arguing is not actually arguing in good faith.

AGW isn't much different. People leap on 0.1C differences and say AHA fail without contextualising it and then argue anyone who contextualising is "lying" or "altering the data"

its a bizarre reductionism, based on autodidact understanding of science. "Because I believe this is the scientific method all the other scientists are not scienting and this is not scientific therefore its trash therefore my theory based on lizard people wins"
Well, the founding fathers intended for the First Amendment to apply only to acts of Congress, and maybe not even then (for example, just six years after ratifying the Bill of Rights, founding father and second President John Adams signed the Sedition act [0], which criminalized false and malicious statements against the government).

It took over 125 years before Supreme Courts started reinterpreting the First Amendment to apply to some government actions that weren't acts of Congress, but there are still tons of situations where regular people can restrict free speech. For example, in Frederick v. Morse, while the Olympic torch was running through some town in Alaska, a public high school student unfurled a banner that read "bong hits 4 Jesus". Despite this not being on school grounds and the student not going to school that day, the school suspended him explicitly because of the speech on his banner, but the SC said that's fine.

(Sidenote: I wouldn't look to the SC for coherent reasoning; the SC has been an absolute dumpster fire for all but the Warren court and parts of FDR's court. Hell, three current Justices (Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Coney-Barrett) worked on George W Bush's legal team in the democracy-negating Bush v. Gore case)

ajross has a point here that if I'm not targetting any hardware which has that memory-level reordering for loads or stores, then I shouldn't need any special primitive for that. Just volatile should work:

volatile int i;
volatile int *x;

if (i == 3) {
y = x[i];
}

Even if this becomes x[3], volatile should work well enough to prevent the reordering: the access to x[] shouldn't precede the access to i. Now volatile might cause two accesses to i. That's my problem, which I could try to defeat with caching:

int local_i = i;

if (local_i == 3)
y = x[3]; // Let's do this ourselves myself

Still, everything should be cool; the access to i and to x[3] should be in that order thanks to volatile. We have one access to i.

If, in spite of the compiler obeying our volatile, the processor and memory hardware is rordering our accesses, then we need some fancy primitive, because special instructions have to be used.

The fancy primitive should exist only for the hardware problem, not for the compiler's ordering of instructions.

> It seems like most people in our industry care far more about "how to do" rather than "how does it work".

It might come to you as a shocker: businesses rarely care about the "how does it work" - illusion is all that matters for most businesses, unfortunately.

The developer is the abstraction maintaining that illusion - be it by juggling a legacy codebase or a broken implementation, or a great one.
And the other hand I often hear people complain about out of touch politicians regulating fields where they completely lack any understanding.
I would hope that this paradigm requires all participating accesses to be annotated:

int i = load(p, memory_order_consume);
if (i == 3) {
int y = load(x[i], memory_order_consume);
}

it seems like bad design to require ordering between plain loads and annotated loads. We want to identify the two locations that are important, so the compiler can reorder the others however it sees fit, without regard as to their placement w.r.t. those two.
TeX and METAFONT are designed to be "done" when Knuth dies:

> At the time of my death, it is my intention that the then-current versions of TEX and METAFONT be forever left unchanged, except that the final version numbers to be reported in the “banner” lines of the programs should become TeX, Version $\pi$ and METAFONT, Version $e$ respectively. From that moment on, all “bugs” will be permanent “features.”

> 'all you need to do is make more interceptors'

There's a lot more it to than that. These systems are not only absurdly expensive (Patriots [1] costs about $1 billion for the system, and $4 million for a missile - probably more nowadays on both accounts), but also entail extensive training, operational, repair, and general logistic issues. A single Patriot requires a skilled crew of ~90 to operate with a peak theoretic range of < 100 miles.

And the systems are not invincible. When Russia either damaged or destroyed one recently in Ukraine, it seems they did the most obvious strategy and simply drained its battery (which seemed to hold ~32 missiles) before going after the system itself. Finally I'd also add in manufacturing and other issues. The manufacturing of alot of these systems has major practical raw material constraints (to say nothing of the manufacturing itself) when you talk about doing things at truly large scale.

---

That said, I agree this idea sounds more like a MIC money grab than anything else. You'd need a ridiculous number of these systems to provide sufficient coverage, it'd entail completely scrapping the Outer Space Treaty creating an overt weaponization race, and also create some really juicy targets for relatively cheap anti-satellite missile systems. The reality is that there is no such thing as a perfect defense because it's just so much easier, and cheaper, to create a +1 version of offense, in the scenario of a peer to peer battle.

I am. But you dont make sense. All Americans have a right to K-12 education, it's funded by the government. How is that different from all Americans having a right to healthcare, being funded by the government? If someone doesn't wanna be in healthcare anymore they can still switch to whatever they want to. They're not forced labor any more than teachers are.

The wording of this would be extremely difficult though. Are local NER models part of this? Relation extraction? What about GPTs that only decode to DSLs? If the model only outputs DNA sequences is that an area that can be more illegal or less if done for research by an individual?
The breadth of different tasks and architectures can make this exceedingly challenging to regulate.
I seriously don’t understand people whose ethics accept that some folks will just die because they don’t want to pay an extra few dollars in taxes. You grew up here, your success or failure depends on the health of our society in many ways, and our society is falling apart because opportunistic capitalists drain all of the productivity with very little gain for the average person since the 70s. I guess we can keep playing Wild West until our country falls apart from malignant cases of not caring about your fellow human.
They had like 20 marines involved in one of the opium wars, so they weren’t completely non-belligerent. But this came after the Taiping Rebellion that killed 20-30 million people, so the Qing dynasty was really weak at that point.

Establishment media is so desperate to attack both Musk and DeSantis. Every story has to be negative that is the rule.

Twitter represents a (one of many) threats to their control. DeSantis might be the strongest threat to Biden, so he must be attacked. Amusingly what unites Hillary and Trump is attacking DeSantis.

His fatal flaw is probably the 6 week abortion ban he signed in Florida. That is an ultimate wedge issue for many.

Illegal drugs creates an innovative, unregulatable black market and ultimately promotes corruption, a force that grows exponentially.

De-regulation has very little to do with the drug users themselves or their harm to society, and everything to do with destroying the economy that those drug users support. The cartels are beyond regulation, but the Sacklers could be put in court. That's a pretty big difference.

If fentanyl is a life sentence in the way you say it is, the cost to society is less if we (ethically) let people kill themselves with regulated fentanyl usage in supervised zones rather than unethically in the streets with drugs of questionable purity purchased through questionable money.

If those people are desperate enough to commit crimes to pay for their mental escapism, then giving them their fentanyl without the crime, while ethically complicated, could have better outcomes for society.

Having pro America institutions (health care) interfacing with people is going to have better outcomes than anti-American (drug cartels and foreign powers) institutions interfacing with people.

Have you ever seen a needle on your sidewalk, in the park your kids play in? Have you ever seen people use dirty needles in front of you? Prohibition doesn't work in America. You can't just make it illegal to leave a needle in a park and expect needles to disappear. Making it easier to do a less bad thing is a different kind of policy than paying more for enforcement (in the form of more taxes in order to pay for more police officers).

Having freedom means being able to make the wrong choice. Keeping freedom is about making responsible choices. If you believe in freedom, then you have to figure out how to help people make responsible choices and have a plan for people making the wrong one.

Monopolizing the supply chain of drugs allows you to dis-empower and destroy cartels as well as offers a "hook" (in the programming sense) to be able to influence the path of those affected.

So you're right that "tax and regulate" makes sense for weed and not fentanyl, but I also don't think you see that there are other forces at work in terms of power. If america is the supplier, america has power. If cartels are the supplier, the cartels have power. If China is the Supplier, then China has power.

If China has that power they can use it to foment misery. If America has that power, they can use it to mitigate the problem.

It would be very useful IMO to be able to easily move a service outside of Kubernetes.

The goal is to move the "fast loop" development outside of any container, onto the native system.

If I am not mistaken, all of the tools which help this either rebuild a container, or rebuild inside a container, right?

Given a Kubernetes application with service names, port forwards, etc., I would like to have an option to automatically convert these configurations into `ExternalName`, external port forwards, etc. This would be transparent to all services, inside and outside Kubernetes.

I think it can be done manually today. My colleagues at my last job wrote a helper script; credit to them for the idea. I think it could be built into `kubectl`. i.e. `kubectl apply --externalize serviceA`
this does not sound like a junior programmer error. this is not the kind of thing companies let inexperienced people come up with at least not on their own. this is a lack of testing. any real world backup test would have caught this. and i would expect the more senior engineers of the project to ensure this was covered
Certainly such compulsory-licensing schemes for photocopying of books in libraries are not uncommon: the ALCS hands out the money from the UK's, for instance https://www.alcs.co.uk/where-the-money-comes-from . Japan's scheme still not allowing the national library to share digital scans would certainly fit the conventional wisdom about that country being slow to embrace digitisation, but really the digital-lending-rights situation is probably a bin-fire everywhere, just not in quite the same way everywhere. And in fact I think Japanese law might be unusually generous (IANAL!) if it lets the national library copy an arbitrary number of magazine pages for anyone anywhere in the world.
