Injecting rooms are a well known and demonstrated way of providing a safe space for IV drug users whilst also providing the opportunity to engage and provide information and services to get help.

I don’t particularly think opiates should be legalised but I definitely think harm minimisation is a way to minimise human misery
For those, like me, wondering what this is about;

> Program obfuscation would enable a host of useful applications: For instance, you could use an obfuscated program to delegate particular tasks within your bank or email accounts to other individuals, without worrying that someone could use the program in a way it wasn’t intended for or read off your account passwords (unless the program was designed to output them).

I relate this to cracking; run a program and watch the memory, see where the password is checked and edit the binary at that location to bypass. So this level obfuscation would make that impossible? Seems like magic honestly.
The belt doesn't have an electronic or electric device built into it that you have to pay subscription to or that causes any interference. Its smart in the way it operates and adjusts compared to a 5 pin hole regular belts. moreover this is handmade with durable leather that will last much longer than regular belts.
> With regards to global warming the responsibility of inaction lies solely on one bad actor, the USA

Sure sounds like you’re saying the US isn’t taking action. And in calling them a bad actor you’d think that emissions are going up out of control instead of down below levels that predate the protocol by 7 years. It sounds like your arguments are in bad faith.
50GB was an enormous amount of space in the late 90s. Why wouldn't each file on the tape have something like begin/end sentinels and metadata about the file so that the current catalogue could be rebuilt in a DR scenario by just spinning through the whole tape?

I'm with the OP - depending 100% on a file that's not on the tape to restore the tape is bonkers. It's fine as optimization, but there should have always been a way to restore from the tape alone in an emergency.
The FBI put out an advisory about this very concern recently.
And measuring flakes or grinds of something by volume will yield varying amounts depending on how it's milled or broken down. How hydrated it is. How packed it got during shipping.

One could measure by weight, but again, moisture will impact this. The genetics aren't well controlled, so the potency per unit weight varies, along with flavour profile. Some chemicals evaporate quickly, others slowly, and that can also change depending on humidity and temperature.

Pepper isn't 1 chemical. What grinds my gears is when someone says a recipe has too many flavours, ignoring that they've added hundreds of flavours via 1 ingredient.
Tried, but I probably don't cut enough to get sufficient practice.
Oh... it's just a movie? Well that's kinda disappointing.
Let's go back to first principles. I launch 3 mortor rounds at you. What would you need to do, to be able to detect, intercept and disable said rounds before they reach you? I don't think anybody would say the cost to intercept and disable (whether by blowing up etc) those mortor rounds is even in the order of magnitude the cost of the 3 rounds and the mortor combined.
perhaps gnu's manpages suffer because they focused so much effort on their info pages.
DRM implementations already use code obfuscation heavily. Can someone with knowledge of the math clarify why this is a big deal? Why would it matter that there is mathematical proof that someone cannot figure out what the code is doing? How does it apply to crypto?

If you want to start with tinfoil hat theories, think about this:

The PGP signatures were removed, nominally because few people used them. ...but the timing of the removals is coincidental, no?

"You need to have a backdoor that lets us see who's downloading what packages and let us inject custom code to particular targets"

"That's technically impossible because of..."

"Here is a court order. Implementation is your problem. You're not allowed to tell anyone you even received a court order."

"...well, I guess signed packages have to go then..."

(:

I don't actually believe that, since PGP signing was frankly, barely used and really there's hardly any meaningful difference between a PGP you can't verify (which was most of them) and not having it; in fact the illusion of security is probably worse than not having it at all.

...but still. As you say. It sucks there's no meaningful replacement for it.
To be fair, it is a pretty ridiculous comparison for anyone to make.

Probably not. Twitter, YouTube, News pages don't count as useful sources of information for me in the first place, already condensed for the format and expected attention span of the consumer. Summarizing even more seems redundant. I'd also wonder who was doing the summarizing.

If I really want to learn something I have access to summaries and overviews written by people with expertise, and rated by other people: books. I may find those books, or excerpts from them, online.

If you mean a summary of ephemeral content like tweets and online posts, I wouldn't have any use for that. I don't pay attention to most of that stuff now and I doubt I'm missing much.
Idk the US specifics but hate speech in Spain is something govt has used to prosecute others in the name of so many things and in so many situations that to me, it means nothing. Just having a negative opinion is "hate speech" if the right person gets annoyed and goes for you.

It is a very powerful tool to shut up adversaries and it is extremely harmful for real opinions and real free speech.

Tailscale is P2P which is nicer than a VPS as a hub and spoke approach.

But one thing that Tailscale didn't do well (at least early on) is performance. It's user space Go, which seemed to cap the data transfers when I tested it out. I would prefer a really fast data transfer P2P so I could use Tailscale in between my web server and DB.

People routinely boot DOS in e.g. qemu. The x86 ISA is 45 years old, older if you consider the 8008/8080 part of the lineage. It's not pretty, but it's probably the most widespread backwards compatible system out there.
LZ decompressors are tiny, as your second link discusses, but it is unlikely that they'll find much redundancy that could easily be removed from the uncompressed program itself, thus removing the need to use them.
Oh, no, I tried with very simple setups. Believe me. Down to a playlist of a single song consisting of a single word. No love.

In a rather similar fashion, I managed to reverse engineer the Roku's very, uh, idiosyncratic interpretation of the, well, was it ever a standard? In any case, Roku's Media Player app had, charmingly, decided to simply ignore the order of the songs in the playlist and -- this was fun to figure out -- grab the metadata of the songs and do it by a regular sort of the track number. It's brilliantly stupid, because it'd work just fine if you had a playlist of a single album. There, it makes perfect sense. Nowhere else.
Intel uses a specialized version of Minix 3 for its Intel Management Engine in every CPU it released since 2008, so technically, it is the most installed OS.

> Sorry, but this is idiotic - Nintendo fanboys are also the biggest critics of Nintendo and are always whining and complaining about Nintendo and their decisions. Nobody is defending Nintendo, ever, it's a nonstop whinefest - "Nintendo is not giving me this," "Nintendo is not giving me that," "Nintendo hates it's customers."

> Someone here even said they felt personally betrayed by Nintendo because they bought a Wii U and then Nintendo never released a Zelda title exclusively on that console. That's pathologic.

Nevertheless, they still buy their games & consoles. Such criticisms have near-zero value if said fans keep buying Nintendo's products.

I'm not talking about computing power? I'm talking about libraries.

The Steam Deck is appealing because you can play those new&trending games right? A new system that doesn't have new&trending games is not appealing to users and gets no users. And a system with no users gets no developers. That's why the Vita failed right?

Look at before the Switch: Nintendo are dividing their attention between a failed WiiU and a 3DS library. The Switch worked by combining the libraries instead of splitting effort in a way that neither library ever gets enough games that users want to play on it.

Sony would have to spend a lot of time to build such a library for a new handheld. Or they can do what Steam Deck did and make it compatible with your other library. I don't think the hardware is there for a portable PS5, so they have to stream.
> selling $15k servers that are $10k in parts

Have you seen what a DGXA100 costs? It starts at $199k for 8 40GB A100's, which have a list price of $10k each. So the GPU costs are $80k. What do you get for the extra $120k? 1TB ram, 2 2TB NVMe OS drives, 4 4TB NVME general storage, and 8x200Gbit infiniband. I would guess no more than 20k all of the remaining hardware. So that's a ~$100k computer selling for $200k. And that's with NVDA likely making massive margins already on the A100 and the Infiniband hardware.

The reality is that companies want to buy complete solutions, not to build and manage their own hardware. A $15k a computer that's $10k in parts is not a large markup at all for something like this.
Oh, shippers complain from time to time about cost pressures. It's not a problem only now as far as I can tell.
I also know the founder of an AI chip company (ex-AMD), they taped out in 2022, got working chips on the first try. Miraculously, they hired a good software team, some even with previous compiler experience. In their brochure they write things like:

Yeah the network bandwidth is insane. Each A100 in an 8x A100 (80GB) pod [1] has its own 200 gigabit NIC! Including storage that's nine 200gbps interfaces for almost two terabit of total internal bandwidth.

Given the high failure rate of early stage startups (all startups, really), and knowing that choice of tech stack rarely makes or breaks the venture, pick what you or your team can use to get to MVP fastest. If you make something useful no one will care about the underlying language or framework.

For simple web sites it's still hard to beat PHP for simplicity and ease of deployment, and since it dominates web development by a wide margin you can find developers.

For building apps (mobile? desktop?) you are constrained by the tools intended for the platform -- Swift, Java, C# -- unless you have the expertise and time to do your own thing or work with a cross-platform development tool.

For simple web sites WordPress is the almost "no code" solution. Inelegant and definitely not sexy, but gets the job done, zero to web site in a few days.

Python has a built-in API for tracing: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.settrace

Here's an example of how to use it (obviously a minimal case, you can customise your handler do do whatever you need):

def mytrace(frame, event, arg):
if event == "call":
print("call", frame.f_code.co_name, frame.f_locals)
elif event == "return":
print("return", frame.f_code.co_name, arg)
return mytrace

import sys
sys.settrace(mytrace)

For example, given the following code:

def three(z):
return 3

def two(y):
return three("BBB") - 1

def one():
return two("AAA") - 1

one()

It will output:

call one {}
call two {'y': 'AAA'}
call three {'z': 'BBB'}
return three 3
return two 2
return one 1

load_in_4bit requires storing a fully unquantized model as well as having enough RAM to load the unquantized model.

If you're an enthusiast with 10 models downloaded, do you want that taking up 500GB or 150GB? Do you want to need 64GB of RAM to load a model, or just 16GB?

That's the main reason for the popularity of pre-quantization.

Virtualized Application Interface Layer… did anyone internally refer to this as “WINE for Windows”? ;)

From a quick web search, VAIL was supposed to only be used as a fallback for when RAIL (i.e. a cloud streaming service for your Win32 apps) wasn’t available. So I assume it didn’t necessarily have to be “good” — it was the “safe mode” of Win32 compatibility, per se. It just had to be there as a rare last resort.

But was RAIL any good? Did it even get built?
