It's fun to remember that fsync() on Linux on ext4 at least offers no real guarantee that the data was successfully written to disk. This happens when write errors from background buffered writes are handled internally by the kernel, and they cleanup the error situation (mark dirty pages clean etc). Since the kernel can't know if a later call to fsync() will ever happen, it can't just keep the error around. So, when the call does happen, it will not return any error code. I don't know for sure, but msync() may well have the same behavior.

Here is an LWN article discussing the whole problem as the Postgres team found out about it.

Is the article's author worrying about Google specifically or search generally?

Because Google specifically has been degrading from self inflicted cuts for years.

Agreed that reddit going dark and machine generated "content" will only make it worse, but perhaps he should have talked about search generally then?
It depends on Win 10 still has some of the WP10 guts in it. WP10 was meant to be fairly close code wise to Windows 10 on PC as this was when MS was trying to converging all their software and devices.

In general I have found Windows can function on fairly tight memory and processor speed if performance is not an issue. There is a lot of memory paging however.

The only part Java lacks - headless objects (aka project Valhalla). It has been mimicked with direct buffers and offset for ~20y now (since Merlin release). Other than that java is similar to a guided "gcc -O2"
This is also a problem on the customer side. I don’t shy away from leaving bad reviews to businesses that deserve it. These businesses either reply with a passive aggressive doxx like “Hi Or Nornor” when I don’t use my real name anywhere on the internets (including medical-related businesses), or they report the review and my account gets blocked with all my reviews removed.

And then of course there is it a single living human at google you can contact to even find out which review was flagged, why, and what to do about it.

I don’t even read reviews anywhere anymore, they’re all faked or AstroTurfed anyway that they give no indication of anything. What a brave new world.
oddly enough fizzbuzz stuff likely needs an on the stack code replacement, i.e. compiling and replacing the currently executed code, which tends to be subpar.

The submitted code snippets for Java do not need OSR, though... yet they can be improved further, e.g. should drop the use of String entirely (which would not feel very Java). The other attempt to convert int -> String (byte) uses the naive way to divide by 10 on each iteration, Java.'s Integer.toString does it way better.

Edit: on a 2nd thought, having a dedicated direct buffer [same allocation, different slices] per all the 8 out of 15 ares for numbers and NOT converting int->String each operation but adding 15 would be a pretty boon as most of the time the change would be only the last 2 bytes, and there won't be any 'div' to be had. Div is generally slow (compared to L1/L2 cache misses, and L3 hit), there is not algorithm to parallelize it, and there is one (few) unit that can perform div, unlike 'add')

Not really. GitHub has been around for over a decade. People bother with problems that have a realistic chance of happening. If GitHub didn't bothered to rate limit commits it means it was a potential issue that didn't manifested itself for over a decade.

People tend to bother about problems that happen. Otherwise everyone would be freaking out because of killer asteroids.
Battery swap is probably not the way. My prediction is charging times will get much faster with better battery tech in the next 5 years. We might be able to get a full charge in under 10 minutes - which starts to match the convenience of a gas fillup.

The question we should be asking is why do we want AI that can do anything faster, better, cheaper than us? Corporations would like to not have to pay labor costs, and some would argue a society where nobody has to work is utopian. But do you trust governments like the US to figure out UBI? Do we really have any sort of sociological understanding of what such a society would be like? Do we have an understanding of what war will look like?

One could argue that AI should only ever be tool to enhance human capabilities, not something to replace humans. Why do we want to do that? For whose benefit?

I don't know that I would qualify for an account on infosec.exchange. I'm certainly no security expert.

If the hachyderm incident has taught me anything, I refuse to attach myself to any system where I have no method of recourse if someone files a false complaint against me, where I cannot be told anything about the complaint or face my accusers, and where my continued existence is entirely at the whim of the admin.

If I ever do anything further with the Fediverse, I think it's going to be exclusively on my own system. That way, if I say or do something to get de-federated, at least I've got some hope of a proper hearing.
The NHS is non-profit. That's a healthcare system, not just a hospital or insurance company. I repeat that he said "system" and you continue to talk about things that are not a healthcare system.

I can acknowledge that it not just helps but that it is far more functional than the US system I've had to suffer through for many years. In addition to years of experience with the US and NHS, I also have many years of experience with Italian national healthcare which is also non-profit and better than the US system.

The US system is better for some diseases but only if you are rich. And an absolute failure if you aren't employed. Even if you can manage to stay employed with a serious illness you better have a healthy family member with a lot of energy who can fight the insurance company that really doesn't want the cost and burden of you and will make that clear in every action.

How far do you need this "for profit" thing to go before you acknowledge its very serious flaws and inadequacies?
Was there a guard needed? I don't think so. It seems GitHub didn't saw any degraded performance and barely noticed the issue, and odds are they presumed the author screwed up with their GitHub actions configuration. Once they determined it was plain old abuse, I'd guess some GitHub employee said "what a moron" and proceeded with his day.

It's a pretty big leap though to take someone's academic interests as an indicator about their ability to do work. If that guy sees that I took two semesters of medieval history, is he going to be afraid that I'll turn the workplace into a Renaissance fair?

In the very early days of google, you could search for a simple problem, and the result would be on the search page. No point in clicking. I guess a few people clicked the other answers, so they rose to the top.

This sounds like an Mafia movie. Pay up for a little protection and don't let it happen again!

Intentionally or accidentally, it's a great problem for big tech to have. You scramble with everybody else to be on the service and the DDOS crowd, confused tourists and local ruffians take your account offline. Better grovel up to reinstate your honour and pay for protection/added services/more identity validation that doesn't stop the problem from happening. Same thing every big country does, we are all under a "security umbrella".

Honestly, real life advertising needs to make a come back. And localized knowledge of the businesses worth keeping alive, when Google's security algorithm dumps them without administration even knowing it. Eggs all in one basket, was never a good idea.. right?
I do believe there was a point where Tesla could have imploded. But I think we are well past this now. Tesla figured out their production and most of their technical issues. The competition is getting a bit stiffer, however Tesla has so much volume now that traditional car makers missed the point where they could have been a real danger to Tesla by competing in the EV market.

> Save it as fizzbuzz.S (that's a capital S as the extension)

What’s the significane of “.S” vs “.s”?
I'm not suggesting that no one should floss. The opportunity cost is low. You have nothing to lose by doing it, other than a couple bucks spent on floss. It's similar to multivitamins, the evidence on the benefits of those is also low quality, but the most you have to lose is a couple of bucks.

In theory if you think in an evidence-based way your positions on flossing and multivitamins should be about the same, which is interesting.

What's really important though is that the profession of dentistry has not felt the need to fully study and establish the benefits of one of their most foundational recommendations.

Every dentist tells you to floss yet they have not bothered to establish reliable evidentiary proof that it works. If they don't care about evidence when it comes to flossing, what other procedures are they pushing without solid evidence of benefits?

The hot take way of saying this (and I do kind of believe this) is that dentistry as a medical science is in its infancy, and as a result, dentistry as a profession/business is partially snake oil.

All that said I have had one crown including a root canal done in my life, the need was clear and it was done well and professionally and I'm happy with it. So I'm not saying that everyone should ignore dentists but this imho is an important place in your life to consider getting second opinions and steer towards professionals who are less profit-driven when you can.

It's crazy that he could take ~250 flights for $2500 (other costs excluded): $10 a flight?

I was thinking this would have worked out even at $50-$100 a roundtrip with 12 trips a month (though probably not with rent in LA as it's not sufficiently cheaper than Bay Area).

One thing that's not commented on is the carbon footprint.

Same! 3x raspberry pis and 2x x86 cluster.

That's the advantage of a homelab environment - the whole monolith/microservice complexity & technical debt thing just doesn't matter in that context. Anything interesting is fair game.

One more more "Why" motivation to add: Portability. I can stick it on my desktop (minikube), my homelab cluster, or a DIY cloud cluster or CP. Feels a bit like docker in that sense - common lowest denominator to build against.

> If anyone knows of a CLI that would give me that level of information, please leave a comment.

k9s tool is much better. Takes a bit of getting used to since it has the whole ssh old school vibe but its 10x more useful that the official dash.

>prometheus/alertmanager: I don't have this setup

I've found Promtail daemonset connected to Loki/Grafana to be good. Especially if you stick ever deployment into it's own namespace, since you can then use that as label in Grafana/Loki. Had a couple issues that I could only track down once I had external logging.

Another neat trick is using Kompose to translate docker-compose to yaml. Helm works too, but I find them a little opaque.
I upvoted the first 2 para's of this reply. Now, as to this old saw:

>there is no disinterested search for truth

In studying the history of science, I've seen that: what the word 'scientist' means has changed a great deal in the past two centuries (since the more generalist 'natural philosophers'). Also that: for most of that time it has never been a disinterested search (let alone 'for truth' ... a word as undefinable as 'god'). Prime example: The existence of rocks falling from the sky was rejected by the faithful simply because Newton said space is -empty-. (There are hundreds more salient examples.)

The rise of specializations is like the rise of Guilds; inevitable for multiple practical reasons. (Recently I tried to read a paper on Paleoneurobiology. Nope, not going there.)

> Nothing technically novel. But evidently it was at least a somewhat novel stress test execution for GitHub’s live systems, otherwise surely it would have been dealt with sooner and messaged with less benefit of the doubt to the user.

Not really. This is boring stuff, and odds are they never bothered with it because a) it has no impact on operations, b) the blast radius of this doesn't go beyond the attacker's own repo, c) no moron with time to kill bothered attempting this stunt until now.

Probably now some low-level employee at GitHub needs to add a metric and an alarm to react to rate limits to prevent moron copycats from pulling this stunt for attention-seeking.

Not smart, not clever. Just boring vandalism.

I have yet to see someone apply ChatGPT or other LLM in this way and not regret it or ditch it later.

Honestly i'm more worried about the ones who will use it this way and assume it's always correct. It is too often incorrect for anything I've ever done with it.
Philosophers have been arguing about what it really means to know something for millennia so I don't think we can make any significant progress there.

But what about practical purposes? How do you decide if a mechanic knows enough to fix your car, a dietitian to help you lose weight? A possible life partner how to build a healthy relationship, a friend to give the right life advice? My current rule of thumb is very similar to "knowing how something works = knowing how to work it", meaning one really only knows something if he's already done it in the past. Preferably multiple times.

This rule tells you that nobody knows some things, for example things that did not exist in the past so nobody could have done them. How will AI impact our world? What will happen if we rewrite Linux in Rust? What will be the outcome of a new social or economic policy?
It's weird to me. We've had hundreds of thousands of years with no dentists and toothpaste and now I'm told only way to keep teeth healthy is to brush twice a day with chemicals and an electric tool.
Oh wow, way to close an open standard.
Shrug. It's just games. If I lost all my games, as I have before... life goes on? What does it mean to own a digital copy of a commoditized good? The hardware is even worse. What costs $4000 today will be $200 in a few years and worthless soon after that.

These are experiences that you go through and move on from, not heirlooms you keep. If you absolutely must play old games, they'll likely become either abandonware for emulators or remastered in 16k a few years from now.

You can go to great lengths to horde hardware and your own DRM free copies of games if that's your thing. Me, I'd rather just rent them from Steam while they're on sale for a few bucks, play them on hardware someone else maintains, and then forget about them. I'll never be able to keep up with all the great new releases in a lifetime anyway.
IIRC, I believe that the difference traditionally was whether to pass the input through the preprocessor (.S), or not (.s).

Not sure if it makes a difference on modern toolchains.
I think Cybertruck will mostly compete with off-road SUVs like Grand Cherokee / 4Runner / Bronco, etc, and smaller pickups like Tacoma, Ridgeline, and Ranger. It will not directly compete with F150s & up in the 3/4 ton and up segment, because they're more heavily used for work and towing and the shape of the vehicle and range while towing is prohibitive for that.
> There are strains of feminism which blame men collectively for all ills in society

I find that these views are spread not so much by strains of feminism or anyone seeking to improve society, as by the aforementioned people using feminist frameworks to justify their own takes on gender essentialism and bigotry.

I don't consider this feminism since it does nothing to improve anything for anyone, but yes, the lack of intolerance for misandry among feminist spaces is one of my big issues with it.

Hello there - that's what I've been doing lately.

Applications by and large do, but when you're writing a library you want to at least start without the usual bs.

JSDoc for type information works great as a crutch in this initial period.

Oh I definitely understand the aversion, just not why it was directed towards me!
Your car IS an exotic car well beyond the means of most people to afford.
most other countries have a customs/security process that is as fast as global entry. So everyone gets a good treatment most of the times. It's not pay for convenience, its a fair treatment for all. I honestly think global entry is a backwards solution to the problem, and only makes it worse for non paying people
Not sure about Google but DDG changes the results when I come back to them. So, for example, if you search for something, click on one of the links to open it and then go back to the search results, there will be a couple of new ones added.

Not sure if some are removed also but it definitely changes.
I googled something.

One of the results was "title (recommended)".

That should be enough for Google to ban the result.

I think programs like Global Entry are one of the main reasons American airports are usually so bad. When most frequent flyers can avoid the default experience, nobody really cares about fixing it. In a well-run airport, everyone gets an experience similar to Global Entry by default.
One of the issues in the now infamous meta analysis was that many of the studies analyzed found some benefit, but they were low quality studies.

So this doesn't necessarily mean that flossing doesn't work. It may just mean that dentists are already making money hand over fist and don't care enough to do good studies and validate that.

BTW what was specifically looked at was whether unsupervised flossing works. So another possibility is that flossing properly works but a lot of people do it ineffectively.

I’m travelling in France at the moment and chatgpt is an absolutely incredible tour guide.

Yesterday we asked it what “RF” inscribed in a crest on a government building meant (“République Française”). A few days ago we asked why an area was called Gobelins, and if that had any relationship to the modern goblins in fantasy. I asked how to ask for more bread at the table and it gave me a pretty long, fancy French sentence. I asked it to simplify the sentence and it did beautifully. You can ask Google translate to translate something, but chatgpt can give you multiple translations, and tell you the cultural nuances of all of them and teach you French grammar while it’s at it. “How do I say this? Why does it use suis in that sentence? Is that a weird thing to say to the wait staff at a restaurant? What is the protocol there?” Etc.

We’ve been using it constantly.
