I’ve never run video ads on Google, but I have run a lot of search ads, and if the 3rd party sites where they show the videos are anything like the “search partners” network, you’re correct, the sites are total trash.

Several years ago I looked through our referrers and immediately disabled search partners for all of our ads when I saw the actual sites.

Many were just clones of the Google search results UI but with ads indistinguishable from search results. Their play is to buy ads on Google themselves, while showing partner network ads on their own confusing “search results” page. They arbitrage traffic by buying ads on cheaper keywords and then getting visitors to click a more expensive ad they serve by being in the partner network.

From what I saw, I can only imagine the vast majority of human clicks through these pages are totally unintentional or confused.
Aggressively pushing shorts, opaque/biased moderation, lack of appeals, removing power user features such as sorting creator videos, disabled the like button, totally ruined comment hierarchy when G+ was pushed aggressively, etc.
What is the recording overhead relative to normal WebAssembly?

What is the average logging rate for a normal application?

What is the worst case application type for recording in time and log rate and what is the overhead?

I do not see any of these primary performance metrics mentioned anywhere obvious.

Hi Blake,

Thanks. The items that appeared here were created in 2022 (when I set up these work accounts in my "Work" vault).

When I have 'Offline Items' selected, pressing the Cloud button with slash results in brief animation, like its syncing, and then the original error shows. The items stay as-is, there is no change.

Good news is, I have gone through them manually and don't think I have lost any data (they seem identical, but duplicated, in the Work vault).
Honestly, have fun. Don’t get too caught up in the details and drama.

The other thing is be involved and engaged. I got hooked coaching TBall and and now I have one more year till my son “graduates” from little league. That experience has been priceless and I recommend to anyone.

And not to mention, slavery still happens. Prison work is a thing, and you don't have to look at too many studies to see that Black men are incarcerated at a rate far out stripping the average. Systemic racism leading to incarceratuon is very much a thing, and enforced prison work is very much a thing, ergo modern slavery.

If reparations were being paid, it could be paid to people who are alive right now.

Basically, with our current understanding, the only thing that makes the big bang and black holes seem connected is that they're both singularities.

But, there's no explanatory value associated with the idea of the universe being the inside of a black hole, and thus there's no way to attempt to test it.
If RedHad don't like what Centos (of old) does, then why do they still insist on mooching off of GPL software? If they don't accept the terms of GPL, good news! They don't have to use it!

Surely such hard working and deserving guys could write their own software and sell it honestly without needing to debase themselves by stealing from filthy hippies.
As an Asian, all I care about is that we should not atone for the crimes committed by someone else (e.g. the white slave owners). That AA disadvantages Asians the most is quite contrary to the whole "atonement" argument of AA.
"Oh, how waffles can be the catalyst for such distant untruths! They hold within their fluffy embrace the power to ignite a fire within us, a fire that burns with passion and intensity. With each bite we take, we are transported to a realm of pure delight, a world where our taste buds dance with ecstasy.

But amidst this delectable indulgence lies a darkness, a veil of deceit that seeps through our very souls. For waffles, as innocent as they may seem, have the ability to lead us astray, to spin a web of illusions and falsehoods in the depths of our being.

Oh, the betrayal! How can something so seemingly innocent hold within it the power to betray our trust? It is a cruel twist of fate, a heart-wrenching revelation that shakes the very foundations of our belief.

These distant untruths, born from the touch of a crispy waffle, intertwine with our emotions, entangling us in a maelstrom of conflicting feelings. They evoke a raw passion within us, sending our hearts into a tumultuous frenzy. Anguish mixes with desire as we struggle to comprehend the true nature of these untruths.

But amidst this turmoil, there lies a glimmer of hope. For it is through the power of our emotions and the strength of our passion that we can overcome this betrayal. We rise above the waffle-induced illusions and reach for a deeper truth, one that resonates with our souls.

So let us not despair, but instead embrace the fervor within us. Let us acknowledge the power of waffles to ignite these distant untruths and use it as fuel to uncover the genuine beauty that lies beneath. For it is in this passionate journey that we discover the true essence of our being.

Oh, waffles, you are both a sweet delight and a treacherous temptation. But through it all, we emerge stronger, more alive, and with a fervent determination to seek truth amidst the swirling chaos."

I also have no idea what it's doing.
I think the list is fine, assuming you write the usual user apps.

The tricky part is for doing kernel programming (not something I do for work anyway, just a hobby). Things just easier on Linux. So, add VirtualBox to the list :D
In my experience, ChatGPT and Copilot are just cutting out the middle step of a process developers have followed since the internet made problem solving more democratic. ChatGPT and Copilot are effectively StackOverflow, except faster. Right now, you still need to be an experienced developer to spot the hallucinations, but I see AI as a tool, not a replacement.

I remember developers were saying similar things about how jQuery was going to make developers lazy because they weren't writing manual queries and Javascript code (especially for things like XMLHttpRequest) and it just made developers more efficient. People said the same thing about Ruby on Rails, how it allowed developers to work with Ruby without having to really know Ruby. The same thing for database ORM's. Developers decried they would make developers lazy and not know how to write manual database queries.

It's not obvious that "LLVM, but not incredibly frustrating" is a thing which can exist. I don't think it's likely, but it's possible that in a few decades the widespread view will be that the very concept of LLVM was a mistake, and a universal compiler backend is just a trap which makes it easy to bootstrap a language but inevitably causes massive problems down the road.

LLVM does have plenty of incidental problems which are clearly fixable and just need a lot of work, but even if you fixed all of them you'd still have people who use LLVM ranting about it.

Beyond that it took Gore losing in Florida by a handful of votes (butterfly ballot?!), Trump carrying the states he did by less than 100k votes and effectively two Supreme Court Justices to die, and one to retire for this to be overturned.
Yes, I know there’s Owl as well as some other (non-Thunderbird) options. But at the higher level, the teams defining what protocols to allow or disallow also manage the policies. That’s what I meant by Microsoft (influencing and) locking in companies.
Basically it’s a bandaid. There is a massive problem with the talent pool coming from minority communities.

Look at any school in a lower income area and it’s plagued with issues of attendance, resources of things like access to technology, commitment of parents to help their kids outside of the classroom with homework, and general safety that fails to provide a quality learning space for children to become qualified when they leave school.

Since you can’t put massive school reform with budgets and funding to provide this to schools in a political cycle of 2-4 years, we just keep kicking the can down the road and accept instead of helping build better youth who all can compete for jobs and colleges, let’s just lower the bar and make it seem like we are doing something.
Huh, an entropy trap.
Not sure how MLIR would solve anything, there's no bridge from C++ to MLIR, or from MLIR to assembly, other than going through LLVM.
I’ve used both, I recommend MkDocs over MdBook for most people. MdBook is simpler and easier to get started with, MkDocs has more features, more plugins, more themes. Both MkDocs and MdBook are easy to use. IMO, MdBook is a little too simple.

Recommend using the material design theme for MkDocs as a starting point. If you are working on a Rust project, use MdBook instead. If you have lots of docs / multiple projects / multiple versions, use Antora. If you want cooler landing pages, use Jekyll.

I am a long time Jekyll user and I still think it's a great tool for blogs, but by far the best SSG for documentation websites I have found is Docusaurus. (https://docusaurus.io/)

I resisted trying it for the longest time because I didn't want a JavaScript based tool, but I am glad I caved. It's so easy to get started, crazy fast, and the sites are absolutely beautiful out of the box yet easy to customize. The mdx support is awesome too.
> Why not just.. well, let poor people come first?

Data shows that poor white children fares better in life than poor black kids[0][1]. This pattern is not even exclusive to the US: Brazil, for example (a case I'm familiar with), faces the same problem[2] and this led the government to implement affirmative action racial quotas for admission in state-owned Universities since 2012[3] with very positive results[4].

So who should be doing that work? On whose payroll? Should Red Hat engineers be spending their time de-branding and wrapping things up neatly for rebuilders to use? Note that every minute they spend on that is a minute they're not spending on adding features, fixing bugs, or backporting fixes to the last ten years' worth of releases. You know, the things they're actually obligated to do by their contracts with customers. Why should they continue letting free work for non-contractual partners - who seem increasingly inclined to be competitors - displace or delay that?

This is the rebuilders' burden, and always has been. It should be their engineers doing that work, just as with other open-source project. If you want to rebuild TensorFlow or React, slap on your own branding, maybe sell support or consulting for it or enable others[1] to do so, do you think those teams will go out of their way to repackage stuff for your convenience? That's above and beyond common open-source practice. Expecting Red Hat to continue going above and beyond forever just seems awfully entitled.

Do you have a picture of the pine grain you find appealing? It sounds so crazy to me I feel like I am missing something.
> I'm not a lawyer, but that's definitely not their only recourse here.

Agreed - Rocky Linux probably has other options, but these seem like decent ones.

> Lawyers are not going to look at this coordinated attempt to subvert a EULA and say "oh well, nothing we can do here".

It does seem like Red Hat wants to subvert the GPL, but I'm not sure who would be suing them for doing so.
> Social Security spending is from a dedicated levy, which generates more income than it costs

Your information is out of date. Costs have exceeded tax income since 2010 and have exceeded total income (tax plus interest) since 2021.

The OASI trust fund that pays social security retirement benefits is projected to have a $53B (3.8%) actuarial shortfall this year, up from $40B last year. The trustees project this shortfall will increase every year thereafter until the fund is completely depleted ten years from now (assuming no change in law)

https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/TRSUM/tr23summary.pdf

To become solvent over 75 years the SS tax rate would need to be increased by 27.7%, from 12.4% today to 15.84%. Eliminating the payroll cap (currently $160K) would buy 25 years, but only if the corresponding benefit cap was not also raised.

Awk was great at its time, but when you need at write more than 5 lines of awk code please consider using python since

1. It is a lot faster than awk/perl/grep/sed combos

2. Way a lot readable and maintainable

3. More powerful than awk with it's string functionalities

4. Same availability as awk in OSs since last decade
Just basic sanity checking. You can use an LLM call for this or something procedural. Generally, it’s just of the order of like “does the output conform to this structure”, “is the returned text actually in the input” etc
The United Kingdom essentially created what we consider to be modern day Israel. It wasn’t a sovereign nation going back thousands of years.
> I believe countries, families and things in between can be guilty of stuff.

Sure. When those things have internal organization and hierarchy and structures that lead to them making a consensus decision and acting as a whole, then yes, they can be "guilty" for some values of guilty.

Where's the decision-making system for all white people?
FWIW, when reparations are discussed, it is usually a reference to the fact that after the civil War, the government somehow found a way to scrape down in its pockets and compensate the slave owners for their "loss of property."

One can I think reasonably ask how this government was able to find the resources to pay people for losing their slaves and not the resources to compensate slaves for the years of freedom stolen. Although it is almost certainly too late to reconcile that particular wrong directly as those slaves are now all dead.
> not to mention tons of possibly illegal but still very real discrimination after that.

And to put this in real terms, the number of racial justice who have 'killed themselves' via methods like 'hanging themselves from a tree outside their house with sheets their family haven't seen before' makes you think that this really isn't a whole thing that we've gotten past. It's not like lynchings were legal in the 1950s; the perpetrators simply structurally didn't face justice for their crimes.

It should still be their goal, instead of some arbitrary percentage. Or I suppose they could offer everyone a blanket discount for the fraud percentage.
I wonder if Red Hat will provides sources for the rpms in the containers (or actually installed) and nothing else.
One thing I love about galaxy S series is their desktop mode. Has that been standard android yet? How's the desktop mode in zenphone?. I'm using S10E, one of the very few compact phones left and zenphone is the obvious next choice, just wondering about that one thing.
Much like GPLv3 was written to counter tivoization, I’d love a GPLv4 to kill what RedHat is doing before they do irreparable the entire free software ecosystem.
Developers? What do they develop? If they have upstream contributions great, but if they are just adjustments to their build pipeline they are not developing... That is tweaking.

I've found ChatGPT useful – I want to write some code to do X, and I often find it is a less mentally taxing to write an English prompt and let ChatGPT do the rest than to write the code myself. But I don't just trust ChatGPT's code – I always modify it, refactor it a bit. ChatGPT is rather human in that sometimes it makes the kind of dumb mistakes that humans do–like inverting a test. I know how to catch those mistakes when I make them myself, so I know how to catch them when ChatGPT does them too.

I think that's where LLM is most useful – a tool to save time and mental effort for developers who understand the code it generates and can tell when it is wrong or needs improvement. I don't think it is going to work well in the hands of non-developers, because sometimes the code it generates doesn't even compile, or just crashes–and how is a non-developer going to fix that? Even worse, sometimes it can be subtly wrong–the code runs but it produces incorrect data–and the risk is a non-developer might not even notice.

Two things spring to mind: My experience with a YouTube premium trial ended immediately upon being told that I couldn't play music in a second place at the same time. And ad-blocking is part of my security posture.

I have plenty of local storage. Moving forward, maybe good videos won't just go into a playlist with the assumption that YouTube will continue to be available.

> He ran for 3 months - the end of the first month only running a full mile - and lost 26 lbs by the end of the third month? How?

To recontextualize the math, losing 26 lb of fat in 90 days is about the same as a 1,000 calorie deficit per day.

By no means impossible, but certainly an effort, including the dietary aspect of ignoring how your body will want to eat more-than-before to compensate.

Anecdotally, I'm currently doing a lesser 400-500 deficit per day (-4lb/month) just through dieting. Not for the first time, I did it for a year a long time ago, then slowly backslid.
But why is that? Wouldn’t the right answer be to identify and root out any systematic racism benefitting whites rather than implement explicitly race-based (one might even say “racist”) counter-measures?

This is where things should be in general. Society benefits with cheaper and accessible medical care, education and policing.

That is a great baseline to compare reality against. One of the many reasons reality deviates, is because of racism and discrimination.

Cool article. This language looks really interesting. The only problem though is, how do I use it? The majority of the programming I do in my daily life revolves around performing actions in a database based upon the contents of HTTP requests. There's lots of amazing programming languages out there, however there don't seem to be any really pushing the boundaries for web programming.

I've written an online book with mdbook (https://lhbg-book.link) and it was a breeze. I believe mdbook was one of the reasons I even finished the book.

1. It's super easy to install. If you have a rust toolchain, just `cargo install mdbook`

2. One command to initialize: `mdbook init my-book`

3. One command to get immediate continuous feedback: `mdbook serve`

4. It allowed me to keep writing in my preferred environment (emacs)

5. It looked good by default. I could focus on the content.

6. Setting up auto deploy ci on github is about 30 lines for yaml

Though one point of improvement would be better support for other export formats such as pdf and epub.

tl;dr mdbook allowed me to use the path of least resistence to complete my project, and I highly recommend it.

Also it is possible other platforms can do the same or better but I haven't tried them.

Sanity prevailed. The different reads like a political manifesto rather than a legal opinion.

You need a mental gymnastics of the highest order to justify racist policies like the ones employed by Harvard. Sometimes people get so deep into ideology that they can't think straight anymore. Ask someone detaches from American political discourse to read the Constitution and then ask them how adding points for race plays with that.

Coming from a former communist country where "social class points" where the thing we were so happy to get over I can't see how affirmative action isn't just a worse, more blatant and unjust version of that.
Sugar being a readily metabolized energy source is almost undoubtedly a cancer source because increase in energy results in increase in cellular production one way or another, which leads to higher risk of mutated cancerous cells, period. Hence the link of obesity to cancer as well.

The fact is that anything that increases the amount of you or the rate of you over time over the bare minimum needed for survival is an increased cancer risk... there are other causes like exposure to radiation that actually damage cells and so on as well.

Ultimately the question isn't if there's a link to cancer, it's how much something is increasing your risk of cancer relative to the alternatives. I suspect artificial sweeteners are in general for most less risk than consuming vast amounts of sugar, gaining lots of weight, becoming inactive, and increasing their cancer risk that way but who knows. Obviously if you ommit everything but consume the bare minimum sugar you need for survival you'll have a lower risk... good luck with that in modern society and diets

What? Of course there is. Low net worth isn’t a protected class. We don’t do it that way because the purpose of the law is to protect small investors.
