It depends what you count as free solo. In the alps you definitely can book tours without a rope, that involve low grade climbing, that most not mountain people would consider as free solo. And it is the same principle there. One wrong step and you fall to death. And people do. But experienced guides can minimize the risk, by going routes, the client can manage.
A couple of reasons why I personally will buy PS5 vs XBOX:
- I already have a bunch of games for PS4, which will still work on PS5
- I try to avoid Microsoft when possible. They are too powerful and spread out for their own good. And yet I still happily use VSCode, Microsoft ToDo daily. Same sentiment goes for google products.
- I can fit PS5 under my TV. XBOX Series X won’t fit.

It still works if you turn off SIP. This is the same on Apple Silicon and Intel. However, for these purpose of tracking file accesses, I recommend using `eslogger` instead, as it doesn’t require disabling SIP and is faster, among other advantages.

Perhaps I’ve just been asked questions like this too many times. More often than not, when this topic comes up someone inevitably tries to gaslight me. “Oh you interacted with a person at the cafe, you couldn’t actually live without human contact”. “Oh you use the internet, you couldn’t actually live without human contact”. I don’t like people who don’t even know me telling me I don’t know myself.

Sure you can argue the definition of alone but you’re splitting hairs. When people talk about being alone they’re referring to a lack of real-time interaction with other humans. Yes I rely on things built by other humans, that has nothing to do with being alone.

I quit my job last year and I’ve spent a lot of time alone since then. I don’t get lonely. I don’t crave human contact. I could easily thrive if I never interacted with another human ever again.

Nope, almost all of it comes from coal ("coke"). Well, unless you believe in the fossil theory of fuel.

"transactions" do give that feature, but related to the nix/emacs discussion above, my gripe is that every rdbms seems to do it differently.

That said I forgot how overloaded the term "transactions" is and most kinds of "transactions" don't allow undo or preview modes. Like, there's the reserved word "transaction", and then there's the "transaction" that can literally describe any db/network request, or an exchange of money for goods and services.

When I do what the parent comment says, it's basically because the select statement is a "test"/preview

In some dbs you can do rollbacks or need to commit your db changes to affect the global state, but I haven't seen that universally + consistently implemented.
Theory of Relativity Explained in Words of Four Letters or Less
To add to this, in Ireland the main retailer for toys was Smyth’s. They didn’t sell the original Xbox because they sold PlayStation and when Microsoft tried to get the Xbox 360 stocked by them, they initially refused saying when people want to buy a games console they come into the store and ask to buy a PlayStation or a games machine. Nobody was going in asking for Xbox. Microsoft had to do a massive deal with them to get shelf space and it was always in the corner away from the Sony and Nintendo stuff.

What about requirement to making standards simple and resonable as possible ? You know, like they did to standards about phys laws...

What about prohibiting standarization for easily outdatable things ? Like for example not using RSA anymore ?

Look it is like with carring gun - you really want to sabbotage ammo your people are using to defend ??

The mention of choice points a sentence earlier plus... well lack of anything explicitly stating here that RNG is involved, makes me think it may not be - or at least that it may not be required. The thing might just as well be fully deterministic, reproducing the exact same striped yes/no pattern each time, with the right duty cycle to add up to the percent chance.

If that's the case, you still could build a PRNG out of it with enough code, but that's the same thing as building PRNG out of regular math (%-operator would then be equivalent to hardcoding 100 100-bit constants). However, I would not call %-operator itself a (P)RNG or a randomness primitive.

Unfortunately, the linked reference in [5] is in PostScript format, and I have... exactly zero devices that can open that quickly, so I can't check. But I strongly hope I'm right, just so I can smirk at all the people, author included, who criticize ChatGPT for insisting %-op isn't a RNG, while forgetting about https://xkcd.com/221/.
Sometimes configuration is fairly complex (e.g. nested map data structures) which gets pretty complex with simple key/value env variables.

I'm thinking of things like config for nginx, Apache, Kubernetes, etc.
If brains aren't a complex probability machine, how is it possible that people get the same sort of math problems right and wrong in an inconsistent manner? Or mis-speak?

It is undeniable that human reasoning is a stochastic process. Otherwise it wouldn't be reasonable for people to make mistakes after learning something. Especially inconsistent mistakes, like when we give people 10,000 addition problems to do in a row it'd be reasonable for them to get a few of them wrong.
I did this, and it went as expected, it could not reliably infer what the program was doing. At one point, it says "%50 appears to be the INTERCAL equivalent of division by 2.", which is wrong. A lot of what it says is wrong.

Basically, I don't think ChatGPT has a grasp of how INTERCAL actually works, and is just hallucinating a lot of it.
The main issue is to use configuration files residing somewhere in the filesystem. This looks like a global variable in a codebase (something we generally try to avoid).
Instead, the configuration file should be explicitly provided as a command line argument. Systemd sandboxing can also be useful to ensure the program only uses the expected set of files.

For instance, on my NixOS machine, the Nginx configuration is not in `/etc/nginx` but explicitly provided and can then be known with ps:

$ ps aux | grep nginx

nginx: master process /nix/store/9iiqv6c3q8zlsqfp75vd2r7f1grwbxh7-nginx-1.24.0/bin/nginx -c /nix/store/9ffljwl3nlw4rkzbyhhirycb9hjv89lr-nginx.conf
They turn tokens into concepts internally. Try asking ChatGPT "can you eat Apple?" and "who is the CEO of Apple?".
Gamepass is good, but PS Plus is also good. Arguably the main thing you get with Gamepass is more AAA games, but honestly, both iclude more games than you can reasonably play.

> exclusives (this generation, there aint a huge difference)

The difference doesn't need to be huge, it just needs to be there. For me personally, the backcatalog of From Software games (including 2020 Demon's Souls) and Returnal were enough to push me towards PS5.

> the majority of people probably have a switch because nintendo

I do also own a switch. It's nice and all, but for me competes in a different niche: portable indie game machine. Anecdotally, I also don't know anyone where a Switch displaces PC/PS/Xbox, so the non-overlapping group logic doesn't really apply.
I was using Windows NT 25 years ago.
Indeed, I only had "simple" cases in mind. But hey... shouldn't the complex config files paths be specified through env vars ? ;)

Wow interesting. I have a feeling the controller thing is super dependent on what you’ve had more exposure to. I recently started gaming for the first time since I was younger and got the Xbox elite controller and love it but I can’t stand playstation controllers. The feedback feels wrong, buttons, everything. Granted like I said I haven’t used them much.
I really do not care about all the possible paths a config file might be read from. I want a flag that I can pass to a binary to see which paths it will actually read, and ideally, I'd like those paths to be logged to STDOUT on startup.

They've moved to more standard PC like hardware over the past few generations so they've got far more economy of scale on their hardware bills than they did in earlier generations.
Ah, I read that differently. Yeah, it depends on the dog I guess. I have an English Cocker Spaniel which the worst risk is probably knocking someone over. I'm generally not pro breaking rules like that, and in the case above I actually hadn't seen the sign (it was not well posted). I do generally go out of my way to translate rules where necessary.
A system-wide key-value store, that's distinct from file storage, seems like a pretty great idea. The Windows Registry is icky, we all know that, it somehow appeared out of nowhere in Windows 95 already crusty as hell. But if it were designed by people with taste and discretion, would it be good?
Depends what you make and whether you consider all costs, including space/ appliances/utility costs needed for storage/ preparation, time buying/ preparing ingredients etc.

Is it ok for you to pay 8$ monthly for sync between devices? Or did you use another way of sync or don't use it at all?
You can do that with a 12th/13th gen too, though it depends on what “work” is. I’m not sure there is any laptop that would last a day using the average enterprise setup (two IPSes, three “endpoint protectors”, two AVs, heavy WMI scripts constantly running and MS Teams always open), simply because the thing won’t get under 40% CPU during the day. The advantage of a MacBook here would simply be that 90% of the mentioned software doesn’t exist for the platform.
Thanks! Definitely the README could be more clear. It's a product that sits at the nexus of a few different things. Just briefly some companies that are doing somewhat similar things (I may have missed some, there are a lot!):

- Cloudflare (from S2): https://www.cloudflare.com/products/zero-trust/browser-isola...

- RemoteHQ: https://www.remotehq.com/

- HyperBeam: https://hyperbeam.com/

- Ericom: https://www.ericom.com/ericom-isolation/

- Symantec/Broadcom (from FireGlass): https://www.broadcom.com/products/cybersecurity/network/netw...

Cybersecurity uses:

- defensive cybersecurity: remote browser isolation is another layer to protect against browser zero-days from compromising your devices and network. So called "zero trust" approach of assuming compromise.

- email attachment and link opening: people can open email attachments in the secure document viewer and open dodgy looking links without risking their local workstation

- pentesting and malware analysis: researchers can investigate potential malware from a distance

Process integration and automation:

- you can embed browsers in your website in a way that circumvents iframe restrictions. This can make it easier to build dashboards and integration portals.

- you can use BrowserBox Pro to attach to your running Puppeteer / Playwright or other Chrome instances and interact with them in real time. People find it useful for debugging automation issues and getting them unstuck from bot-tests and errors. It's like driving manual for a challenging stretch on your FSD!

Remote work:

- co-browsing as a way to collaborate: you can have multiple people interacting with a web site in real time. Userful for remote teams who need to debug an issue or discuss content and design

- co-browsing as a way to socialize: some people enjoy doing watch parties and syncing up their viewing with friends

- co-browsing as a way to educate: trainers use it to deliver interactive lessons and as a way to monitor and aid development skills in apps

VPN and remote desktop:

- people use it as a way to circumvent country specific blocking by spinning up a VM in another zone and accessing the content they want from there

- people use it to access web-based apps, which in some areas have largely replaced desktop apps. It's like a lighter weight remote desktop in that case.

Random and miscellaneous use cases:

- honestly we're quite surprised at the way people use it sometimes. One of the first customers wanted it as a way to manage multiple online personas for their own privacy. Somehow they preferred that to having multiple local browser profiles.

Currently I wouldn't say it's particularly optimized for any of these subsets. But it's a great starting point for people building any of these applications. While we have a rough idea, as shown above, now we're in the process of asking people exactly how they use it and deciding if we should narrow our focus to a particular customer set, or keep it broad, and build out multiple feature domains in parallel.
Yeah, managed to have stitches in the back of my head, but I'll not argue that I'd rather be hit by a bike than a car. If those are the only options. To be fair, the bike rider didn't exactly walk away without some bumps and bruises either.
> We create systems designed to drain the jobs of bureaucrats, especially low-level bureaucrats, of any opportunity to exercise judgment. When things go wrong, we find new ways to constrain, and we make the hierarchy more and more rigid.

This is the crux of the article, and it is an excellent point.

I believe that there is a fundamental difference between a being a rule-follower and being a judgment-exerciser. Situational awareness can provide clues as to what mode of operation is appropriate. However, choosing a mode of operation is itself an exercise in judgment.

If you design a rule-based system, and hire people based exclusively on their ability to follow and enforce rules, you should not be surprised when that system selects for the kind of people who copy job postings verbatim into their resumes and proclaims them to be "most qualified".
It's also a common idiom in the German language, but in a different form: The Dolchstoß is associated with WWI and antisemitic ideas, while in den Rücken fallen (literally to fall into someone's back) is the linguistic backstab figure.
Clear boundaries are important too. It isn't my job, as an engineer, to remember everything you requested. It's also not my job to know exactly what your corner of a platform looks like.

And it's especially not my job to negotiate against your constant attempts to creep a task's scope whenever we run into issues stemming from you not knowing your own platform and process well enough.
What's needed, ideally, is a checker. Something that takes the LLM's output, can go back to the training material, and verify the output for consistency with it.

I don't think those steps are out of the bounds of possibility, really.

Ah my German is a little more advanced than that, but every time I stumble through trying to communicate in German they immediately switch to English. It's not like I can blame them, I wouldn't have time for my fumbling halting German either.

I wonder how much this improves performance over not "JIT'ing" the calculation. I have done similar things in image/video codec code (where it resulted in substantial increases in speed) but this is the first time I've seen it for a filesystem.
Has anyone actually posted some benchmarks of the jit and other methods? I haven't seen them before and it seems weird how much this has been discussed without published numbers.

> You do realize Ukraine has bragged multiple times about hitting the dam, right? And that Russia has much more to lose over the flooding than Ukraine does?

Russia has already admitted to blowing the dam, it was likely blown from the inside as the dam itself is super strong.

Russia did it to try and hinder the progress of the counter offensive.
System environment variables/system registry sounds like the best way to do that from a pragmatic perspective

At Home with the Billionaire CEO Behind Airbnb – Bloomberg Originals
When you give people the freedom to use the KV store as they wish, you inevitably run into a meta-problem whereby the way they write their data structures in to the KV store is varied across applications. I don't know if you could standardise this structure beyond enforcing applications to use an OS-assigned private store, but I don't see how that would work with portable executables etc.

I suppose you'd need to be very opinionated for it to work, but people will still bodge it to make it work with their needs that your system doesn't natively satisfy (people putting JSON strings in the values, for example).
Possibly if you are not familiar with how software is configured. It was immediately clear to me.
$ redis-cli INFO
...
executable:/Users/antirez/hack/redis/src/./redis-server
config_file:/etc/redis/redis.conf
...

In the case of Redis, it is possible to do much more. With the CONFIG command you can check specific configuration parameters at runtime, and even change most of them.

There are commands to get reports about latency and memory usage, performing a self-analysis of the instance condition. You can see counters for commands called, and even obtian a live stream of the commands the instance is executing.

This should all be obvious features to make system software approachable, observable, and to make people able to act easily when shit happens, without having to guess where the configuration file is from the system startup scripts or alike. UX is not only about GUIs.

Feel free to describe the steps you believe the company would take after receiving such a request.
he is not running in a container - he is not running the command in isolation from the system, he is running on the current system. The script is mounting an overlay file system for each root directory on the current system, then looking at what has been added as a new layer - that's what the command is supposed to add to the running system.

Pure genius.

> For chips like these, they are complex enough that even benchmarking them to figure out which one is faster is a chore.

If two chips are hard to tell apart in terms of performance, that just means that they are practically equivalent. This means other factors come in play, such as ISA and cost.
Following research instead of the industry would this make a basic fact known for a while.
For me, I chose xbox recently because of very specific titles (like, starfield). And not to mention the MS/activision talks that were going on for a while now, and I really do love blizzard games, so there would have been a risk of losing out with sony in the longer run.

What I don't get in return a _some_ JRPG titles that ps5 has access to. On the other hand, I also have a switch (which has some exceptionally great exclusives + some of the missing JRPGs), and quite a lot of the gaming portfolio is covered by having xbox+switch.

The only thing I refuse to do nowadays is playing on PC, at all. I am tied to this unhealthy seating position most of the day already, and with consoles I can move to the couch, not to mention multiplayer there. I get why PC gaming is better in several aspects, but body posture is the single thing I am no longer accepting here.

My reading is that this class just has a huge number of students, each bringing in a bit of funding. This allows for relatively large investments in the quality of the teaching materials, but teacher/student ratios will probably not be great. Hiring capable teachers is hard, especially at scale.

Everything that Microsoft makes looks like technology - it has a million buttons and knobs, a colorful plastic aesthetic and names like "Xbox" or "Microsoft Gamepass Azure Edition Professional".
