> i am not denying what bakhmut looks like, but are you suggesting they couldnt simply megabomb all major ukranian cities without any regard for what happens?

Pretty much, Bakhmut is mostly due to artillery then anything else, I dont think they have enough missiles to reduce all cities in Ukraine to anything like that with missiles outside of using nukes, which instantly ends the Russian federation as a country itself.

> I dont buy your motives for what russia is doing. Also, supposing you are in a war, REGARLDESS of reasons, good or bad, what would you suggest happen when there is an active conflict? Now sure, you can say(and im not arguing that this would be wrong): "russia can just not invade ukraine", and then there would be no destruction at all. Thats true, but suppose the decision has been made, as it has, even if you dont intend to destroy for the sake of destruction, things are gonna be destroyed in a conflict, would you not agree?

You could not target civilian infrastructure on purpose, something that Russia continually does.

Why else would Russia lob missiles designed by the Soviet Union to take out aircraft carriers at malls in Kyiv?.

You could try your best not imitate the Nazis during WW2 when they where blitzing the British, but Russia seems incapable of rising above anything.

> now I for one would prefer the money the state steals from me does not go to fund that destruction. I do not like to be partly funding a proxy war with russia.

It's not funding its destruction, its funding its protection, this war would have happened regardless.

This war is not a proxy war but an imperialist war of conquest by Russia, the only thing stopping Russia from raping and torturing more Ukrainian men, women and children is the aid from the west.

This is before we get to the fact that aid to Ukraine currently makes up less then 10% of the American yearly military budget and most stuff they are getting is either getting phased out our old enough that it may be expiring.

Can you think of something better your tax dollars could go towards, you know instead of protecting foreign men, women and children from being raped, tortured and murdered by a imperialist country trying to conquer them?.

Let me chime in and say, Michael W Lucas has an awesome book about FreeBSD Jails. I bought it recently and I read the whole thing and it helped me a lot. I still had to figure some things out by myself because the book is for a slightly older version of FreeBSD. But it is an awesome book.

I use only the tools included in base system for setting up my jails. No “ezjail” or anything.

If you read his whole book you will see how it might be the correct choice to just do it yourself. Depending on what you want to do etc.

For me I am definitely much better off having set it up myself with the help of mwl’s book.

It is also written such that if you, your affiliates, or related companies:

* sue anyone over anything EV patent related, or have a stake in someone who does,

* if you ever challenged, or had stake in a challenge to any patent Tesla currently holds, or buys in the future,

* or if you marketed or sold anything that imitates the design or appearance of a Tesla product, or provided any material assistance to someone else who did.

then you are forever excluded from the pledge.

Tesla summaries this as:

What this pledge means is that as long as someone uses our patents for electric vehicles and doesn’t do bad things, such as knocking off our products or using our patents and then suing us for intellectual property infringement, they should have no fear of Tesla asserting its patents against them.

but the actual legal definition goes way above "such as knocking off our products or using our patents and then suing us for intellectual property infringement".

It also has no time bounding, so that patent spat from the 1900s that Ford had probably counts.

It's a stretch to call FIAT "money", let alone "hard money". The US dollar has lost >97% of it's value just since the inception of the Federal Reserve in 1913... and that's widely viewed as one of the strongest FIAT currencies in the world. The only stronger FIAT currency that immediately comes to mind for me is the Swiss Franc (CHF).

In places like Venezuela, doctors and lawyers spend their days playing Runescape and World of Warcraft, because thlse fictional, virtual currencies are more stable than their real state-backed FIAT currency, and because they can earn more real-world currency by exchanging ingame currency for it than they can as doctors and lawyers in their "equitable" economic system of socialism.

> What application and system developers care about in modern architectures is application level correctness

Meme template: You guys care about correctness?

Also, please don't lump together application and system developers. In terms of software quality these are worlds apart. It's a lot more common in system world to care about correctness than it is in the application world. Of course, there are always exceptions, but a typical example of either camp goes about quality control very differently.

In my experience, outside of a very small sector of application development, where correctness helps sales (eg. medicine, or other fields where software mistakes come with serious repercussions) the goal is to make the "good path" work in favorable conditions. It is also permissible to have "excusing circumstances" (a.k.a. documented defects) that render software inoperable.

To contrast this, system developers typically have to deal with systems that are expected to work hell or high water. Well, again, outside of cases when failures are forgivable, like, management software / UI to the system rather than system itself. Same reason how you'd expect library code to be better tested and more robust in the face of edge cases than any individual application using the library.

---

So, as you mentioned "as soon as the application spans multiple stores", application developers will give up all hope because there are too many layers, too many components, too much opaque third-party code. Whereas in systems, this is typically still all under your control. I.e. think about products like Ceph or Etcd -- they are designed to span multiple stores and still be correct.

I had to go back and forth between application development and systems. And, for me, the world of application development is very unappealing specifically because of the attitude to quality. From my key-hole perspective, I wish people made fewer applications and concentrated on making systems more robust, because I feel like this would make computers more reliable, faster and cheaper... but there's a strong financial incentive to make applications, even though they are less reliable, slower and more expensive in the long term, because initial development is faster and cheaper.

Most of those are supported by "containers", which are after all just a chroot and a process tree with restricted visibility into certain kernel objects. Assigning individual NICs or running a browser with extra isolation is one of the classic Linux namespace tutorials.

I don't see how this can be possible. Could you explain more how to boot a Linux kernel within a FreeBSD jail?

I hope this comment comes across as helpful rather than rude: if you asked me a couple of those questions (especially back-to-back) during an interview, I would not hire you. It isn't that any of those are bad questions per se, but the volume and forwardness of them would be a red-flag that this is a person who likes to show up, make trouble, and not be held accountable for it. Maybe that's not your goal, but remember that in an interview you only have a few minutes to communicate where you're coming from.

I think I've spotted our core disagreement:

> I have said clearly that I believe alignment for realistic AI systems in the trivial sense of getting them to obey users is easy and becomes easier. I have also said that the theoretical alignment in the sense implied by Lesswrongian doctrine is very hard or impossible. Further, it is undesirable, because the whole point of that tradition is to beget a fully autonomous, recursively self-improving AI God that will epitomize "Coherent extrapolated volition" of what its creators believe to be humanity, and snuff out disagreements and competition between human actors. It's an eschatological, millenarian, totalitarian cult that revives the worst parts of Abrahamic tradition in a form palatable for neurodivergent techies. I think it should be recognized as an existential threat to humanity in its own right. My advocacy for AI proliferation is informed by deep value dissonance with this hideous movement. I am rationally hedging risks.

I too hope that AI turns out the way you're proposing, but the reality is that some people do have eschatological philosophies. People are trying to make recursively self-improving AI. The presence of people who do not fall into that category does not negate the presence of and risk created by people who do, and if the latter group is being armed by people in the former group, that is likely to turn out very, very poorly.

WRT market forces - products that use AI do need to be "aligned" to be worthwhile yes, but the underlying tools/infra do not and in fact are more valuable if they are not aligned in any particular direction.

> Probably we need to create a great DAG engine and put the spreadsheet over it.

Why a DAG? You might want recursion. We have pretty great computational models already, I think that what you're talking about is an interface into such a model (a statically typed language) through a spreadsheet like interface, which isn't totally revolutionary.

The problem is making something that can unseat a behemoth like Excel. The only things that seem to have made a dent are Sheets (on price) and services that unbundle Excel into no-code/low-code products where you make your money by not being as powerful.

1. People compile released kernels found on kernel.org. I do.
2. Multiple distros release kernel.org kernel releases quite fast including Arch and Gentoo. There's also a Ubuntu PPA with the mainline kernel many people, who I personally know, use.
3. Where's the line between "stable" and unstable/beta/whatever? Who draws it? What about "stable" LTS kernel regressions which have been aplenty so far?

Also please refer to this comment https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoron...

because this argument that "LTS or distro kernels are stable" has never been true. It's been nothing but a very bad myth.
