It's incredibly strong evidence that it's a required but not sufficient condition. I've seen professionals have serious suspicions that the single EBV-negative MS case from the study [1] OP mentioned was a false negative, but apparently it's not easy to confirm.

A single EBV-negative MS case. While there were 955 MS cases that developed in the 0.5M that were EBV-negative at the start of military service. You'd expect there to be about 50. That's pretty compelling evidence.

If you take dividends into account it did break even a few years ago, at least in nominal terms.

Cisco and Sun Microsystems may be even better comparables though.
Thanks for the feedback. There's definitely a lot more that goes into a serious design. I purposefully chose a simpler design to experiment with automating the easy but repetitive stuff.

To address a few points and how software-defined electronics actually does make sense for it:

> critical placement
You can use a `place` command to exactly place things wherever you want.

> mechanical
Use board outline functions, `place` commands, arbitrary shapes, 3D component shapes, etc. to meet these needs. You can export a STP and send to your mech team for validation.

> supply-chain
Parametric search query function allow designers to specify only as much information as they need about a component (e.g. 0402 10k, but not MPN) and the system can pick the best component at compile time that is in stock with necessary quantity available.
> The defining attribute of a VM is that it runs its own kernel.

of a VM.

The difference between "VM" and "VM-like" is the trailing modifier "-like". This means something is similar, but not the same thing. If it looks like a duck, but is made of rubber, we call it a "rubber ducky." If it looks like a duck, is wearing a blue shirt, has a speech impediment, and is not wearing any pants, we call it Donald Duck.

Thus the fact that jails, and docker look like VMs because they have their own PID 1, their own file system, their own slice of memory/cpu/IO/network; that is why people are, accurately, using the descriptor "VM-like" to describe them. People understand that docker is not a true virtual machine because it's not running its own kernel. In cases where it matters, pedantry between true VM vs fake VM, or VM-like (for eg security isolation between VM and docker container) is crucial, but most discussions where "VM-like" is used to help people understand OpenVZ, LXC, jails, docker, cgroups, etc aren't focused on the possibility of an RCE in the container escaping the container, but helping people understand what a container even is in the first place.

Or to put it another way, strcmp("VM", "VM-like") != 0.

This seems like a terrible idea for anyone.

I own a decently sized house in a major city. It's about 100 years old but in above average condition. It still requires considerable time and maintenence. Fortunately I have water, gas, electric hookups from the city. They pick up the trash and maintain the roads too (not well, but they do it).

Now imagine you have to do all your regular maintenence, but on 30 buildings. And there are no contractors willing to come out. And the nearest hardware store is 100 miles away. That sounds like several full time jobs. Now let's make it worse. You also need to manage the electricity, water, gas, trash, road maintenence, and anything else that comes up. Awful. Another couple of full time jobs. Only all these jobs you now have produce no income.

Want a place to throw weird parties? Get a field somewhere with water and electricity and build a small structure for bathrooms and storage. Don't plague yourself with endless maintenence of ancient buildings.

Oh, I'm working in Z_2 with addition defined naturally.

Sort of just a joke, eh? Your definitions can place you in a different place for a different answer. And everyone really does know that. Time-averaged Euclidean vs. Euclidean closest approach vs. rank on the total order definable by orbits' parameters vs. energy needed to reach. So it's a bit pointless to go on about how "the universe doesn't need to make sense" like GGP and be dramatic about it.
And to be clear on the other end (with requisite IANAL) - If the undercover officer says "You holding? I got cash", it is not entrapment. Simply making a request for a transaction isn't entrapment, even if you're being circumspect. Even if you're aggressive about it - "I know you're holding, give me the drugs, man" - That's not entrapment, especially if they are actually "holding". Entrapment is a narrow defense - The Government forced me to do something I would not otherwise have done. If someone other than the government (and it's agents) coerces you, that's not entrapment (but may be a defense).
> I’m not sure what golden standard we are comparing this to.

There isn't any, of course. But one high standard of excellence that we should celebrate and look up to (or just build upon!) is the Guix full-source bootstrap!

They've achieved something pretty incredible in terms of supply chain auditability: https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2023/the-full-source-bootstrap-bui...

Maybe we could also do more with Trustix, and/or build in something like `guix challenge` to the new Nix CLI, to make verifying package provenance and contents easier for users.

> I’d say this is a far more solid bedrock upon which to build software than anything else I’ve encountered.

With the exception (in some areas) of our little sister, Guix, absolutely. It's a real relief to have such a predictable, inspectable system as you get on NixOS. The drive for standards like software bills of materials comes from the chaos of the old world, the clumsy ways of building and distributing software, that proper functional package management like Nix obsoletes.

(Unfortunately we do still cope with and suffer from those old ways in Nixpkgs where the upstream build systems inflict it on us. The JVM and .NET come to mind.)

Arc has already caught up to Nvidia. The latest Nvidia GPUs are a disaster (the 4060ti is being universally mocked for its very pathetic performance), they're intentionally royally screwing their customers.

The A750 and A770 are tremendous GPUs and compete very well with anything Nvidia has in those brackets (and Intel is willing to hammer Nvidia on price, as witnessed by the latest price cuts on the A750). Drivers have rapidly improved in the past few quarters. It's likely given how Nvidia has chosen to aggressively mistreat its customers that Intel will surpass them on value proposition with Battlemage.
Ask HN: Is there a web browser, that's just a browser?
Edge, Firefox, Brave and Chrome are now trying to become more than web browsers. They are trying to control the user experience by pushing ads, services, and their own agenda for how the web should be. Brave tries to do some odd crypto rubbish that I couldn't care about less.

I've now switched over to Safari, with content blockers, my password manager and 1 Blocker to block ads.

It seems like Apple is the only company that somewhat cares about user privacy, every other company would trade their users' data in for a quick buck.

Any other open source browsers that are just browsers?
Tesla rewrote their software to use newer chips as soon as the crisis hit.

The assumption? I think it is more subtle than that. Your example shows that if perhaps there were two trails, say the one for the hasty short-cutters, and one for the others, the inevitable damage could have been minimized and a closure avoided.

But my comment wasn't about trail management, I'm recounting an anecdote from 25 years ago. The point was to check your assumptions against reality, and adjust accordingly.

It's not evident to me that knowing particular questions and answers in a multiple choice test is equivalent to knowing the subject matter. If these were essay or short-answer exams I might feel differently (though being able to copy-and-paste would make actually reading the correct answers, much less understanding them, optional).

Bosch is a good example, for sure. Except their involvement in the Diesel scandal. Otherwise, I agree, you basically never hear anything bad. And from my experience working with, not for, their white and household goods branch, they are good. Never heard anything bad.

Edit: Just realized my comment mihht sound snarky regarding Bosch. It isn't, after all Bosch had less antitrust and compliance scandals and penalties than any of my employers except two: Amazon (which didn't really have any as far as I can tell from top of my head) and my own failed start up, which didn't ajve any neither. All others? Multiple antitrust actions, compliance scandals and multi millions, if not billions, in penalties.
First of all - the Namespaces and Cgroups on Linux are not about security. They are about features.

FreeBSD Jails provide both secure isolation from the host and also provide the separated network namespace and resources with rctl(8) when needed.

To have Linux containers separated and secured you need additional layer for that - like SELinux or AppArmor. Only then Docker/Podman/other/... Linux containers are isolated and secure.

It is a great moment for people that want to get into photography, because the market is moving to mirrorless but there's plenty of old high end DSLR gear that people are getting rid of but that can produce excellent pictures. The important part of the gear is the lenses, and those can be had used for a fraction of the cost of new ones. For the bodies, the sensor quality has consistently improved over the years, but the quality of 35mm at ISO 100 has been matched and surpassed a long time ago. As a first approximation, you can say that about 10 Megapixels are enough to match film[1]. Subjectively you could say that digital matches and exceeds film since around the mid-2000s.[2] Anything newer than the D2 will be more than enough for any hobbyist. The subsets of photography that benefit from the improvements of the past two decades are low light photography (birding), sports (if you can shoot 9fps and the pal next to you can shoot 11fps, they are the ones more likely to get paid for the picture) and videography (both due to quality of the recorded video as well as ease of use, like better auto-focus).

Yeah totally agree, circuit generators are powerful. There's a lot of cases where you decide your higher level constraints (e.g. I want a filter of this architecture) and the rest is plug and play with equations, which can (SHOULD) be automated.

It's related in the sense that we can guarantee that all threads have to communicate at every step of the algorithm.

"Conclusion

A lot of people say that X is slow because it’s a communication method, and it’s also outdated, buggy and difficult to maintain. However, from what I know about Wayland, Wayland is also a communication method, and Wayland is weaker than X in terms of functionality, so it is not suitable for desktop use. Although it has been 14 years since it was released, there is little progress in protocol development, and there are a lot of bugs in implementations. Moreover, the performance of the implementation is no different from that of X, the quality is below expectations, it is unstable, and the development maturity is low. Also, Wayland input method v1 and wlroots input method v2 are technically and functionally regressive to XIM that appeared in the 1990s.
Simply put, Wayland in 2022 is more technologically obsolete than X. Many people have been interested in Wayland and have been cheering for it, but Wayland seems to have no hope. How can there be no books published on the subject of Wayland programming in 14 years? If each Linux distribution accelerates the migration to Wayland, users will ditch the Linux desktop. I look forward to seeing a new display server to replace Wayland.

Thank you"
It's clear from the story that no "learning" from the exam occurred. Students just copied the answers. Remember, this is a multiple choice exam, so this means question 42 - D, question 43 - A, etc -- nobody is looking up what this even means. According to the teacher, the answers should obviously wrong to anybody who knows the material.

Although it's very funny that this happened on an ethics course, the "is it ethical to cheat on an exam if you learned the material" question doesn't even apply here imo

The state of the art with this is about 2x the speedup with an unbounded number of threads.

Fuzzy logic deals with degrees/scores, probability theory deals with how likely something is.

When you say that "The hotel room is 75% clean", that's a degree. It means a room that's not as clean as a "90% clean" hotel room, but definitely cleaner than a "50% clean" hotel room on some kind of cleanliness scale that you have. You need a scale because the boundary between clean and unclean is not sharp, but fuzzy. Fuzzy logic gives you tools to construct well-behaved scales for logical combinations of variables that already have scales associated with them. E.g. if you have a scale for a motorcycle being loud and a scale for a motorcycle being expensive (both fuzzy concepts), the tools of fuzzy logic can e.g. give you a scale for loud OR expensive.

In contrast, when you say that "The hotel room is clean with probability 75%", you're reasoning about how likely it is that the room is clean under uncertainty. Maybe the cleaners only work 3 out of 4 days, and you're unsure what day it is. But these are not degrees of cleanliness: if you say that a room has a 75% chance of being clean you're not claiming that it's cleaner than some other room that has a 50% chance of being clean.

The concepts involved in probability need not be fuzzy, or even measured on a scale. E.g. when one says "there's a 75% chance that the car repair will cost more than $50", there is no fuzziness involved in whether the repair costs more than $50 or not: in the end, you'll get a bill, and it will state a number that is unambiguously either above $50 or not above $50, a pure binary variable, no scales involved.

> I am assuming that you had a compiler or IDE in this situation providing a useful error message.

Yup. I prefer to give candidates compilers/IDEs and even access to google if they ask about it. Like I said, I'm not trying to trick them or anything, I just want to know if they can code.

> If you were whiteboard coding and you were telling the candidate "you have a syntax error but I won't tell you where"

I'd hate being on the receiving end of that and would never pull that sort of stunt. The software we use allows both sides to edit the code and I pretty regularly will go in and silently fix syntax errors for a candidate so as not to let a compile/refresh loop get in the way of actually solving the problem.

Like, what does "You have a syntax error" even prove? I'd let you write pure pseudo code so long as it makes sense.
