Well, the article is from 2008.

Nowadays, Smart NICs can handle encryption and IOMMU provides (some) security isolation.

I never used Kafka. I'd expect that using Cloud HSM for TLS/SSL offloads in any cloud should get you zero copy with encryption.
I presume from the text above that there's an explicit panic handler, so, no, a panic won't cause "a similar result like C", it'll unwind, potentially causing local issues (e.g. it may leak resources which were in the process of being properly dropped when we panicked) and then the Elixir gets control.

If the code does something unsound in an unsafe block then yes, you get to keep both halves like in C. For example if you've decided to unsafely index arbitrarily far into a small array, this will blow up just the same as x[n] in C would. But, why would you do that?

My strategy is a follows:

Cook a big batch of food with spreadable consistency (e.g. bolognese sauce, hummus, lentil daal, mixed vegetable puree) in an electric pressure cooker. Ideally this should all be done in one pot.

Pour the food into an aluminum roasting pan, greatly increasing its surface area to volume ratio.

Take a plastic storage box of similar shape to the roasting pan but slightly larger, put lots of ice in it, and add just enough water to cover the ice.

Float the roasting pan full of food in the ice bath. Let the food cool to below room temperature, stirring occasionally to speed this up. Keep the storage box lid on while not stirring. This shouldn't take more than about half an hour.

Spoon the food into silicone muffin trays, and put it into the freezer.

Wait for the food to freeze, take it out, transfer it to plastic bags, and return it to the freezer.

This makes convenient blocks of food that can be defrosted by microwaving. I make batches of 24 at a time. One is enough for a snack/side dish, two a small main, three a regular main, and four a large main. They can be mixed for variety. The easiest complete meal is a bowl of rolled oats, water, and frozen blocks of food. The whole thing can be reheated by microwaving (rolled oats are sold already cooked), and because the frozen food was cooled so quickly I'm not worried about food safety if it's not thoroughly reheated. Yogurt/pickles/etc. can be added for more variety. I think the ice bath and aluminum roasting pan are necessary, because it's otherwise difficult to cool large batches of food. The silicone muffin trays double as giant ice cube trays when they're not being used to freeze the food. You could probably use metal muffin trays instead, but silicone makes it easy to remove the frozen stuff.

The magic for me was never in the end result, but in knowing how to do.

I think it is a sign of the times that a lot of people think there isn't fun or magic in programming anymore.

With the internet there's always know-it-alls going "why should I use your programming language instead of Python?" when you show people an experiment. Or maybe you build an internal app that solves a problem at work and there's 20 people saying "why didn't you just use Notion".

But even before that... I remember building a primitive text-to-voice synthesizer in the 90s and showing some friends, and they just said it was crap because they saw something on TV that was better. Of course mine was just a toy, but I remember even as a kid wondering why they were comparing the accomplishments of a 15 year old with IBM... On the other hand, I made some internet forums back then and on-line people people loved it.

So maybe ask yourself who's doing the yawning. Is it other people vicariously basking in someone else's glory? Or is it yourself not enjoying the journey.

EDIT: That actually reminds of magic. Some people say that magic tricks shouldn't be revealed. Well, I will admit that I yawn at magic and magicians, but I enjoy knowing how the tricks are performed.

I tried to go to area51 once. You can't even begin the trip there on ground without getting on gravel roads patrolled by unmakred cars with guys that have automatic machine guns driving them.

Not to mention the locals from Parhump in NV to further away in Shoshone,CA everyone kept asking me wtf I was doing there. The moment I mentioned area 51, I thought they'd think it was about aliens (it was sort of, but not seriously, just pop culture curiosity) but everyone got very serious suspecting me of trying to spy on behalf of some foreign country perhaps. My read was people getting paid to sneak and take pictures of area51 secret military stuff is not uncommon. I honestly thought, given the publicity, the government would only test not-so-secret stuff area51.

There are more isolated places in central and northern nevada for even more secret lairs.
Death is political term, not a medical one.
The trick for me is to apply engineering to the kitchen. You can actually enjoy really elaborate meals if you simply make more each time and utilize pyrex+freezer. Why make only 6 servings of spaghetti when there's still 50% free space available in your instant pot? (that 'max fill' line is but a polite suggestion :D) Planning ahead, logistics, etc. can make all the difference in the world.

Imagine spending one hour in the kitchen to only feed yourself one time. That would be peak insanity to me today. I used to live it for about a decade myself. Ate out about every other day as a consequence. Ordered in a pizza once a week. Today, I eat out about once a month. I haven't ordered a pizza in 3+ years.

I absolutely hated cooking until I learned about terms like "mise en place" and realized that manufacturing/lean/six sigma principles work just as well in my kitchen as they do on a factory floor. Also, tools like the humble pressure cooker can take your 2 hour process cycle down to 20 minutes. It arguably tastes better in many cases too. Cooking is not a mystical process. Much of it (not all) is science and engineering. You can robotically produce incredible meals. And I argue you should - The food on America's shelves and restaurants is only worsening in my estimation.

hello,

echo = reflections of sound-waves from hard surfaces

you have to hinder those reflections and try to absorb sound-waves in your room ...

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_%28acoustics%29

if there is nothing in a room even "direct" noise is disturbing - especially if everybody is in a different video-chat and some people tend to speak louder than others.

cheap and good looking?

* hang thick/fluffy carpets onto the walls

* cover other hard/flat surfaces with something fluffy ;)

* put (fluffy) stuff into the room ... from plants to large stuffed animals - whatever floats your boat ;)

* https://www.snoringsource.com/sound-absorbing-materials/

"professional" alternatives

* sound absorbing panels

* acoustic-foam material (some look like egg-boxes, but out of a black foamed synthetic material)

imho this problem - echos and noise in general - is the main reason for avoiding open-plan offices like the plague ... at all costs, these are such an annoyance to everyone!!

especially if you follow a "clean desk" policy, w/o "personalized" spaces and therefore w/o stuff on the desks ... ;))

there is that old joke about someone complaining that his old friends didn't keep in touch only to show up at that persons funeral.

with that in mind, i think showing that someone is being missed is a sign of care, and with older people worrying that they might have passed away is just part of that.
You asked "which ones?", I answered with some drawbacks to note, mentioned there are pros and cons, answered your question (with links you didn't fully read).. and you proceeded to go on a defensive tirade accusing me of noise and baseless claims (while you reference deprecated language features), etc. Have a nice day.

I got the actual Instant Pot. This is my second actually, I got the one that also does air frying.

It's a great purchase. Get some cheap protein that needs to cook for long, get some vegetables, brown the protein a bit (can be done in the Instant Pot), add chopped vegetables, salt, spices, and a little water; pressure cook for 1 hour. Shorter version: add meat, add vegs, add water, turn on.

You can get fancier as you learn, but stews are my favourite food because they require cheap ingredients, and with the instant pot I don't even need to take care of it while it cooks. Toss everything together and turn the thing on. It has a timer and a keep warm function, so you can literally fill it in the morning, and come back from work to a warm pot of stew.

My favorite recipe is chilli con carne, which is little more than minced beef with onions peppers and beans in tomato sauce. Stews, chilli and random salads are 90% of my diet.

Here is a great ramen recipe from a classic reddit thread that my glance over the book failed to spot:

>Creamy chicken flavored preferred but regular chicken will do.

>With drained noodles and with the flavor packet add black pepper, garlic, Parmesan cheese, butter and just a bit of milk to make it creamy and sauce like.

Since they didn't include measurements, this is what I ended up using:

1 pack creamy garlic seasoning
1/4th cup water
1/2 tsp garlic grilling salt blend
1 tbsp butter or margarine
2 tbsp parmesan cheese

What's the difference between Meissner Effect and Flux pinning (2004)
There are these things called authorative dns servers which if they no longer serve your domain due to being silenced then my self hosted recursive unbound setup won’t help anything.

Aside from that, this isn’t about relying on other systems. That’s literally the Internet. It’s distributed. It’s open. That’s why it runs on 13 root dns servers. This is about large players who control and manipulate vast amounts of users and traffic, forming a cartel to push their business interests in the name of more profits. Remember when ISPs wanted to strong arm Netflix for more money or cripple their bandwidth, effectively making their service so slow nobody would buy it? The tubes of the internet should be that, dumb, open, tubes. Anything else is no long an open internet. I fear we’re well past that now.
>Or reverse sort till the end of the file with !Gsort -r^M etc.

Right. Or flip the case of a section of text, even of an arbitrary block of lines demarcated by marks set by vi(m) commands like ma and mb and the like, by filtering it through tr.

Or filter another section through sed or awk or even through a Unix pipeline, to do whatever you want.

And with just a little practice, you can become fluent and fast with all of this, and it improves your productivity a lot, apart from being fun and creative.

Obv such a decision would be a vetoable Security Council authorization. Certainly this would still be less provocative to the world community than a unilateral attack, such as a US sub attacking a plant in the former USSR, or China attacking a plant on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion that human reasoning doesn’t operate on the basis of statistical prediction of the next most probable “token” at its most granular level. Humans are certainly capable of hallucination in the LLM sense, and without training we often struggle to produce (or even outright fabricate) the rationale behind our “conclusions”.

We stopped intentionally modelling human reasoning because we have no clue how it works.

We roughly copied the physical devices then figured out how to slap them together with an algorithm that makes them behave similarly to human thought, when trained with a massive quantity of cultural-linguistic-memetic data.

It should not be surprising that if you take a bucketful of engine parts and keep messing with them until they kinda work as an engine that you will probably wind up with something along similar lines as the original intention of the parts. Frankly, it would be quite surprising if you didn’t.

Biological neural networks are fundamentally linear algebra processing device that integrate data into functions through training, so the fact that we understand the process as linear algebra is actually an argument that the process is similar.

As to whether “superintelligence” can exist, I think we are in exactly the same page there. It is a matter of definition. Personally I doubt the existence of a fundamentally superior system of logic type of superintelligence, but certainly a device can made to iterate faster and flawless memory and instant, accurate calculation is going to beat the hell out of my notebook and HP28s lol.

I suspect that superintelligence can be (has been?) achieved in some respects, but in the same sense that a room full of ten educated people with regular computing tools is “superintelligence”.
