I have run "crash" against a live kernel, i have run systemtap against a live kernel, kprobes and written my own C debugging linux kernel issues.

I can't speak for other distros, but you install the relevant debuginfo(symbol files) and then use your tooling, and its been pretty straight forward, at least for the last 10 years.

Hit me up if you ever need assistance doing it on standard x86-64, I'll do what i can to help.
Apologies if I come off a bit strong on this one. I deal mostly with non “American” text so it’s a pain point. Unicode is so messy, trying to push handling it on to each individual programmer is not an ideal situation.

Let’s just say, no one in Greece, Iceland, or Korea is sitting around wondering if their new programming language should support their alphabet natively.

Imagine being from a country where a language’s built in Strcmp doesn’t work?

The issue here is 'being intolerant of intolerance' requires you to decide what is and isn't intolerant.

Let's take affirmative action for example. Giving people whose grandparents were negatively impacted by unjust laws more opportunities than other people.

Opposing this is not 'intolerance', it's an opinion in a debate about whether that is actually fair. It's an active debate and one side is trying to shut down opposition to their political goals and force their kids to say they're right

Trying to close all debate and push a narrative isn't democratic, it's authoritarian and one of the most common tools to oppress and control

Yeah, what an odd spec. [1]

Looks like the entire idea is to avoid using any ASCII/Extended ASCII control character bytes, except to represent those characters.

> separate "byte array" and "string" types, and say, "Strings are always UTF-8. Anything else is a bug. Deal with it."

Yes.

Current headache: I have spent the last few days writing a parser for a data representation with far too much embedding. The innermost layer is JSON, representing glTF graphics data. That's UTF-8. That's encapsulated in an obsolete format called "Notation", which is sort of a pre-JSON kind of JSON. It's a byte stream, and has byte counted forms such as

s(5)Hello

This, in turn, is encapsulated in UTF-8 XML. I was coding this in Rust, which led to the discovery that the C++ code it is emulating had problems.

Rust has the right concept. Strings are UTF-8, strictly enforced, so you can iterate over them. Byte arrays are arrays of 8-bit unsigned integers. Conversions check.

Classic headache: turning SMS texts into ITA-2 for an antique Teletype machine for steampunk demos. Anything outside of the ITA-2 set (uppercase letters, numbers, and some punctuation) was turned into the long text description of that code point. Emoji text were dutifully hammered out as

Not sure what it is like for other professions but in software development I've found getting approval for buying tools to be a cumbersome process. The most ridiculous case was a $10 license that took several months to get approved and involved multiple 'C' level executives at a company with about 30k employees. At the same company, I was denied access to a cloud service that the company already had a subscription to because my process would use $0.03 of compute time per month, which we were quite willing to pay. There were no security concerns or anything else, just two mid-level managers trying to extract resources out of each other.

Those are extremes but even simple things like getting a $100 plugin to parse a particular data format ends up being a time-wasting process that far exceeds the cost of the plugin, and if drawn out enough, the savings it would have produced over building it ourselves. As a result, building it ourselves tends to end up being the default choice.

I agree with you, but in some jurisdictions the distance between stuff generated with AI and actual photographs of child abuse are treated rather closely; either way, possessing either could result in what the England & Wales calls a "sexual harm prevention order" (SHPO). To me the idea that someone could be served such an order without ever possessing real CSEM (or "child porn"), never mind actually never being near a child is rather worrying.
If I could humbly offer an addendum, Anger's message is usually 'tell me what's really at issue here, and let's become a master of change'

From what I've seen Anger is rarely ever 'justified' (and if it is, it's usually a primal self defense) - so let's call this "Emotional Anger" to remove the murkiness of imminent danger. At a high level, EA usually pairs deep helplessness with an inadequacy.

A profound shift in my life has to been to ask questions aimed at the locus of change w.r.t. EA, 'so what exactly is the harm here? what am I trying to defend internally? why am I not calmly moving through the steps as a master who has seen all this before? if it's truly urgent, what are the ways to protect myself from the fallout should the change not arise? if it is truly helpless, why am I not changing my life? Am I addicted to this feeling? ...'

This is something I have been grappling with for a while - I work with data in an industrial plant there is a lot of legacy data systems here and "data latency" has been a real issue - real time dashboards are seen by some subset of management as the holy grail, being able to look at any part of our plant and see what is happening in real time is extremely attractive to certain people.

For a longtime there has been a lot of resistance "real time is too hard" used to get thrown around a lot- what is really driving it in last two years or so are Machine Learning and computer vision applications. There has been a huge push to integrate ML models (for example live defect detection) into our operating process which has necessitated low latency access to real time plant data.

The data pipelines we've had to build to enable these ML applications have bough latency way down all over the place and have kind of bought other applications like real time dashboards with them for "free".
Windows used to use UCS-2 because UTF-16 hadn't been invented yet. Any Windows after Windows 2000 supports UTF-16.

You can't just dismiss the whole operating system API space just because NTFS doesn't enforce filename encoding. Yes, you might encounter file names with invalid UTF sequences because some app might be allowing them to be created. That can also happen in Linux too. Then add Linux, and probably others to the list. Then, what's the use for this list?
for long distance travellers the mode switch is a massive hindrance. transferring from one train to another at the same station is a lot easier than having to leave the train station to enter local transport, and then transfer back to a train. that's two transfers in an unfamiliar city. it's just not practical.

in beijing getting from a long distance train on one station to one on another could easily take an hour, whereas a direct transfer if both trains are at the same station would take minutes. but that's an academic example because the chinese long distance rail system is not designed for transfers anyways. you would almost always get a direct train between major cities, unless you are going extremly far, like guangzhou to harbin. i don't remember ever having to transfer trains when traveling in china.

My understanding is that modern CMOS circuits dissipate around 1 pJ (10^-12) per bit, so even if we are limited by the Landauer's principle, it would still be a 9 orders of magnitude improvement. I would surely love a CPU that uses microwatts instead of hundreds of watts.

What an utter BS!! How hard it would be for google to have an agreement with these vendors to support it for say 10years?! Also, I don’t think you would need such an agreement as mostly new software updates will be compatible with the new hardware unless major changes were made like a cpu architecture etc., you can still get an intel pentium cpu working fine with linux/windows, a fully functional OSes not a browser based one!!

What is strange to me observing all of this debate is that the natural origin theory seems to mostly rely on a Occam’s razor argument that pushes the lab leak theory into a “burden of proof” territory. Ok fine, I’m on board…simple is better and more likely.

However, the shear amount of coincidences that seem be piling up and pointing towards lab leak as plausible perhaps even probable do not seem to be balanced with similar coincidental discovery of new evidence on the natural origin side of the debate.

The other piece of this that has to be taken under consideration…is two very powerful governments were intertwined in research into this very topic and both after the virus started raging have attempted to obfuscate the origin either by directly suppressing evidence or using political pressure to diffuse the lab leak hypotheses. This is known…and matters.

So at what point does the Occam’s razor reasoning shift and the much more simple explanation is that two powerful entities probably are hiding direct evidence of a lab leak because there are 7M people dead? I think it’s reasonable for people like Nate to have a shift in thinking and to start questioning…frankly, everything.

> I think the “tension axis” is more likely to be fruitful in a different way, where we find some structure e.g. a crystalline formation that happens to hold atoms apart with just the right amount of tension. But this is all very speculative - the “tension axis” is just a random thought I had while reading the article!

Many years ago, as an undergrad, I was telling a grad student friend how I'd been learning about the Selection algorithm- it lets you pick the Kth largest element from an unsorted list in linear time, which is pretty neat.

I said "It's O(n), but the constant is ridiculous in most implementations so it's usually better just to sort and then pick the kth element". The grad student friend said something that stuck with me: "Sure, but the algorithm proves it's possible to find the kth element in linear time. That was never guaranteed. Now we just need to find a better way to do it."

Random conversation that stuck with me, and they probably forgot it a moment later.

> what we are doing is in fact to re-create conditions roughly on par with what is happening in the core of the sun

My understanding is we are not. (Not an expert!) The Sun's core runs around 15 MK [1]. A tokamak, 150 MK [2]. Orders of magnitude rarely come for free in physics.

We need those higher energies because we can't, like the Sun, swaddle with the mass of a hundred thousand worlds a low-temperature, low-frequency weak-force mediated proton-proton reaction [3]. The Sun relies on quantum tunneling to overcome the Coulomb barrier. We humans have to increase the reaction energy so it doesn't all bleed off before anything happens [4], which means using the strong force [5].

Photos of cross sections of the M855 and M855A1:

https://twitter.com/izlomdefense/status/1202516482082639872/...

M855 has a lead plug behind a steel penetrator. M855A1 has a copper plug behind a steel penetrator. So, I stand by my "copper where the lead used to be". I never said there wasn't a steel penetrator.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.56%C3%9745mm_NATO:

>For general issue, the U.S. Army adopted the M855A1 round in 2010 to replace the M855. The primary reason was pressure to use non-lead bullets. The lead slug is replaced by a copper alloy slug . . . The U.S. Marines adopted the Mk318 in early 2010 due to delays with the M855A1. This was a temporary measure until the M855A1 was available for them, which occurred in mid-2010"

As you probably know, most combat soldiers in the US Army and Marines carry a rifle (usually an M4 these days IIUC) that fires 5.56×45mm NATO, so it is probably the ammo type that the US military uses the most of.
Well don't ask me, ask the service operators who limit their fields to X bytes!:D Whatever their reasoning, if they want to limit strings to a certain length, they should make it consistent so the user won't run into problems where it's accepted in one place then it runs into an error or another part of the service refuses to accept it.

One of the most significant quantization papers of the last year [1] found precisely that these outliers only start occuring with LLMs at 6.7B parameters and above.

One of the most important keys to the success of deep learning in the last couple years has been the fact that emergent features exist after certain scales, so I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss things that don't help at smaller scales, nor would I be certain that all the tricks that help in small data/parameter regimes will necessarily help in larger models. Unfortunately!
