I’ve done a lot of distro hopping in the last couple of years, and I always seemed to spend a lot longer managing the environment rather than doing the work (which was an issue when I was freelancing…). Indeed Arch is the only one that ended up with a massive folder in a notion notebook for guides and how tos.
I understand the terminology in the context of the original papers, but to me the metaphors don't seem to generalize well, or at least not in the suggested direction.

This is probably just an unfortunate situation, due to progressive understanding. Pointing this out in the slides gave me a sense of relief.

Personally, I wouldn't put names to every minor part of an algorithm or formula that was discovered to work empirically. But then again, I haven't discovered anything, and the authors of the respective papers certainly deserve some credit for their inventions!
I happen to know a person who did exactly that, and became very wealthy.

Making lots of money is usually proportional to how much risk you're willing to take.
Move Back to Datacenters
I fear you are not aware of what AI models can pick out these days. Even encryption is not enough unless padded with constant-broadcast. If you know a medium is a text channel, the size, frequency, and rate of communications can accurately determine user emotional state, age, and gender, as well as possible subject matters and the relative position of power of conversation participants (who is boss, who is right hand, who are minions, etc)
What I'd really like to see with CEF et al, is JS being dropped, in favor of directly controlling the DOM from the host language. Then we could, for example, write a Rust (or Kotlin, Zig, Haskell, etc) desktop application that simply directly manipulated the DOM, and had it rendered by a HTML+CSS layout engine. Folks could then write a React-like framework for that language (to help render & re-render the DOM in an elegant way).

Ultralight (https://ultralig.ht/) looks pretty cool. I think another possible option is Servo (https://github.com/servo/servo) – it was abandoned by Mozilla along with Rust during their layoffs a while back (but the project still seems to have a decent bit of activity). It would be great if some group of devs could revive the project, or a company could fund such a revival.

Eventually, we'll need to reflect on, and explore whether HTML+CSS is really the best way to do layout, and we could maybe perhaps consider porting the Android/iOS layout approach over to desktop. Maybe WPF/GTk/Qt/etc even got things right, and HTML+CSS isn't the best way to do layout.
Wouldn't that make all satirists bigots? Is Stephen Colbert? Carroll O'Connor? It can't be that the only difference is whether someone is successfully trolled.
Because they -are- providing value, and because dev resources are limited. If you're a dev, do you think your company would want you to spend 2 weeks on building a new feature, or on "considering the entire ecosystem"?

And more than that - if you have a team that only/mostly has web experience, they're going to use Electron, and... what kind of company would want them to stop and go learn native app development, or hire extra people just to get a native app?

Note: I fully agree with you, I do feel that as a profession we really have descended into a weird "ship the MVP, ship new features non-stop, forget quality" reality, and I dislike it. I'd love it if everything was resource-thrifty native apps, and dev teams could stop chasing new and shiny things and work on improving their existing apps until they were shiny polished diamonds. I'd love to point to an app and say "see? this is 20 years of development, look at how nice it is, how perfectly thought out everything is, how everything just works flawlessly".

But the fact that that's not happening is not because devs are lazy, or not worth their money. It just doesn't make business sense.
Highly regulated means
1. It is based in USA (USA in world economies and influence has drop to around 20% of the world). If I used it in Bahamas or even Ukraine, not a single AG in ENTIRE USA can do anything about it.
2. Had to go thru court and judge pass a judgement. Every court cases in USA can be grinded via a Jury. Every judges can be bribed or threatened (as shown during the 2020 elections). Assuming it passes that, you still have to go thru all the way to SC. And even that like Roe vs Roe, it still can get reverse.
3. AG needs to bring this case to court first. Same as #2. In fact go research how many very questionable AG deaths in USA in the last 5 years.
4. Just put a disclaimer EULA. And put it in a out of USA jurisdiction while on borderless Internet (sci-hub set a good precendence).
5. USA medical regulation today arent on par with vast majority westetnised world standard. Some ASEAN and Eastern Asia standard would make vast majority of FDA boardmembers look like quacks.
Am I missing something? Is this quicker just because you are emulating only the program and not the OS?
I used to think Helion might have a chance, until I looked into the energetics graph. At the temperature they hope to operate, a deuterion would much rather fuse with another deuterion, producing a neutron, than with a helion.

And Helium3 is not available in useful quantity. No, not even on the moon.

It’s not a great thing, but most companies supply employees new laptops every 3 years if they want to keep those employees.
Then take some from the bombs used to kill people. It's a false dichotomy to say if we spend anything on space we can't spend anything on problems on Earth.
Even more need for prelaunch testing then. Novel technological designs are harder to grapple and send to production, not less.
You can't limit resources like CPU and memory for users.
Allen met Gates at the private school they both attended - surely being able to attend such a school classifies as "benefiting from parents' wealth"?
Sure, if they're calling into an Electron front-end. Otherwise, each front-end is different so no amount of C++ and dev exeperience is going to take your Android UI calls and transform them into iOS UI calls. So, you'll have to build your own wrappers over each native UI framework to interact with, costing more money.
If you pay in UAH, it's only $3 ;)
Decent developers don’t leave comments like this about other developers.
I don’t know if it’s the same in the other ‘developed but not America’ economies but Youtube premium is really expensive in Australia. It’s literally double the price of a Netflix subscription and represents way less ‘value’ for me.

Part of that could be the bundled music subscription, which has zero value for me when I use and prefer Spotify, but it just seems like a very expensive niche product here which makes me surprised they’re pushing it so hard. They have a straight ad-free offering in some markets that seems much closer to something I’d actually pay for.

Lose the music stuff and charge A$9.99 a month and you’d have me.

Edit: I realised I was looking at the Apple subscription price at $19.99 for an individual rather than the online sign-up one. $14.99 still seems too high when my entire Amazon subscription with a video service and free-delivery is still roughly $10/mo.
And now we just blast as much personal data at the screen as possible while everything is easy, free, or subsidized by arcane bits of highly advanced financial fraud.

Which, ok, works great for most people most of the time.
Then customers will choose their cheaper competitors.
Aside from 24 hours pharmacies/grocery stores and cheap gas none of those things seem particularly inaccessible in Europe.

If we want to focus on air conditioners this much it seems to me that he issue isn't that people can't afford them it's that it's very hard to get one installed if you live in an apartment building (because they weren't designed for that and due to all kinds of rules and regulation). Many people living in detached houses can easily get one without having their children skip lunch.

> Many of the last 45 days here have been above 24C

Depends on the house thick walls are pretty good in keeping heat out in summer.
The regular shell is a huge attack surface, including user-to-user attacks and overly permissive network access.

Frankly, ssh-to-container is a "slaps forehead" obvious solution and I'm surprised none of us thought of it before - I'd love to see it as a standard option in the OS, e.g. chsh allows you to specify a container and optional port and volume mappings.

In the old days, we'd (try to) use chroot, but that has all sorts of big problems with needing access to various directories, and those batches begat patches...
Given the UKs ongoing war on cryptography, I took more pause with the location than the corporate structure.
Youtube generates tens of billions of dollars in revenue per year, for a company that generates hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue per year.

If you're skeptical about how/if massive corporations are able to leverage their market power and monopolization to generate monstrous profits and force through very anti-consumer features, I'd encourage you to read Goliath from Matt Stoller: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Goliath/Matt-Stoller/...
The real question is, how can Netflix tell their queer content apart from their regular content?
Wow, here in New Zealand I'm only paying 10 NZD/month (8.04 CAD), grandfathered in from when it used to be a Google Play Music subscription.

It's fantastic value for that price, but I would definitely think twice at 30 CAD/month.
Not saying about what and where anyone should run, all I'm claiming is that mobile phones aren't actually that efficient, they just sleep a lot and that's how they get low power draw
Hint: solar on farmland does not interfere with use as farmland. Look up agrivoltaics. Solar on pasture is even easier, and protects livestock from weather extremes.
> Actually people are born with no expectations.

You say this based on what? You sound like you don't have kids, correct?
I have a 10 year old MacBook Pro that works perfectly too. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t allow OS upgrades.

I’ll probably get an M3 and use it for 8-10 years.
This would also be useful on the website, which currently says

Just mention the model.
The only trait blockchain and crypto culture has in common with transformer models is the use of massive compute. Do not lump me in with cryptobros, I want absolutely nothing to do with that hive of thickheaded villainy.
The desert is the worst place to put a solar farm. Hot, dusty, far away.

That doesn't change my question.
It's easier to understand this if you look at the onion protocol. Broadly, it introduces noise between all users on the network by constantly sending and receiving random bytes to and from each node. This prevents external listeners from figuring out where the main server is. Originally designed to protect naval command ships, it was later used for the "dark web". If you don't know which node is the server, you can't shut it down, or read data off of it.

Simplex does something similar. A connects to B. B connects to C. And A and C connect. They all chat. but there is no way to know A, B, or C, because from the outside, it all looks like: X connects to Y, X connects to Y, X connects to Y. So who spoke to whom?

This is great. Even if "the authorities" demand access to chat logs, first, they won't know what to ask for. Chats between whom? Second, they still won't know who spoke to whom even if they have all the data. It's anonymized chats. They would have to sift through all of it.

It still won't prevent someone invading privacy if they have physical access to your device, since the identities are stored locally for your usage convenience.

I can't help but feel there is a selection bias here. We could pretend that Netflix's recommendation algorithm is totally random with some reinforcement factor (e.g. positive reactions to LGBTQ content leads to more of the same) and it would lead to this outcome for some people. With a large viewership even very dumb algorithms would successfully 'predict' someone is LGBTQ for someone.

Since we are taking sample sizes of one, I'm gay and it is extremely rare I get recommended LGBTQ content on Netflix.
Really? Not the lack of any SEC enforcement against white collar crime?
Who is they? Why are you grouping all scientists as one?

Lying and censoring isn't a good way to sell something but that's has nothing to do with science nor can you place blame or reduce your trust across all scientists and scientific institutions.

It a reporter at NBC lies and gets caught why would that affect the reputation of a reporter at another news network? It shouldn't and if it does then explain why?

"Because it destroys all trust we have in that institution"

What institution? If a specific company, government agency, or educational institution is caught lying or censoring and the management knew about it, approved it, or didn't take reasonable steps to stop it then you should reduce your trust level for them.

BUT I don't see any specific one being mentioned. I see "science" and "The Science".
Electron is quite efficient. You get a modern GPU composited UI, and JavaScript is by far the most highly optimized scripting language out there.

The problem with Electron is RAM, disk space, and download size, which is because every app needs to ship its own copy of Blink. This is a solvable problem, but nobody is incentivized to solve it.
> Funny thing is that you’ve described Moscow here.

Please do tell more. I’m curious to learn.
Friend, there are many of us who studied and worked with cryptography and distributed systems while also spending times with friends and attending social events. Consider speaking to someone about this.
> whether their productivity app is written in Electron or hand-crafted assembler isn't going to make much of a difference to the end user experience

Subjectively, every Electron app I’ve used including the local beloved VSCode has been a painful UX. I can always tell. Nothing makes a fast computer feel slow quite like them, it’s amazing. I would settle for React Native at this point.
Gary Gensler is getting curb stomped in the courts for taking the agency in fruitless directions that will never achieve investor protection even if they won in the courts, investor protection being Congress' mission for the SEC, and so he is pivoting on what he wants to focus on and be remembered for by making up a new area to protect investors. It isn't supposed to make sense, it is purely self preservation.

Love Total Commander. Bought license 20 years ago and still use it. Before that I used Norton Commander and Dos Navigator in dos-era. So powerful tools.
You can use segmented stacks in c++ just fine I think. I believe boost.coroutine supports it. The problem is the additional overhead and the impossibility to link against any non-split stack code.
you're changing architecture, and memory and storage speed in one go; i think you're going to like it
You seem to have a bone to pick with the idea that artists who sample can be colloquially credited as the songwriters of the songs they wrote. It's a surprising position to take; most people get by just fine saying that MC Hammer wrote You Can't Touch This, as one of many examples.

Please tell us more.
> it can take over instantly if there's a communications dropout

The only way to detect a communication dropout in a packet network is with constant exchange of keep alive packets. The detection time should be within some safety margins for the maximum allowed speed of the vehicle and the computational overheads. I think we’re speaking at least 100 pps, which is unlikely to deliver on time using public Internet over the unreliable medium.

tl;dr - I think it’s not currently possible.

A phone is physical tool owned by a person that fits in their hands. It's not as dissimilar from a hammer as you have tried to portray.
As much as I complain about systemd being overly complex and the lock-in that follows:

MemoryMax=1G

It's also something that's been available on the other UNIX-likes (FreeBSD/Solaris) since essentially forever.
Yes, and was it just me that had “106 miles to Chicago..” as a system sound?
You're lying. Canada acted on a US-warrant ( not an arbitrary law) and her "jail" ( the CFO of Huawei) was in a luxury mansion.

The 2 Michaels China retaliated against, weren't as comfy as her.

Those businessmen are less and less inclined to travel to China.

Here's a lawyer with expertise on the topic, it's a lot more troubling than your "2 Michaels", lol.

They're optimizing for not buffering. It's one of the key metrics they track for service health.
Literally none of the projects running will ever lead to so much as a single erg of commercial power. They might spin off interesting plasma materials-processing tech.

It would be much more expensive to build a fusion power plant than a similar-capacity fission plant, but fission is already uncompetitive, and falls farther behind by the day. Start thinking hard about uses for stable contained plasma that doesn't fuse. Advantage is, it doesn't need to be especially hot. What they have already is more than hot enough for any plausible use.
Yes that’s precisely what made me harken back to my solving of large stochastic PDE system questions :-)

The different though is instead of a matrix multiplication it’s a nonlinear optimization. The crucial part is the nonlinearity. But I assume given this technique is as you say Monte Carlo at its root, that shouldn’t specifically matter?
Keep in mind that people in their 30s and older today either grew up or lived their working years during a time when upgrading computers every year or two was the norm.
Yeah, that's a violation of the freedom of movement, which is a human right.

There are a lot of reasons why people might want to end up without having a house, e.g. domestic abuse, scams, poverty, etc. To really solve homelessness, you need to tackle these issues. You need safety nets, you need to ensure better living standards, etc.

What Łukašenka's regime does is it makes the homeless people disappear. It makes them invisible, in any way possible.

But by doing this, it just hides the symptoms and does nothing to address the underlying the problems.

> The idea of "parasite fee" was objected heavily but you see how brilliantly it worked.

It has not. The government had to basically scrap the idea, and ended up with doing that thing with different gas/water prices it's doing now.

Also, the protests against the so-called "parasite" fees were a major factor in the future protests: people saw the protest against the "parasite" fee succeeding, and this certainly motivated a lot of us to go to protest in 2020.

> Fear and coercion are necessary to maintain a healthy society

No.
> So if youtube wasn't owned by google, you'd be happy to have paid?

Maybe.

YouTube should have to police copyright for the little guys as strongly as they do for the big guys. Instead, YouTube is happy to flat out steal content from little guys while stomping all over fair use when the big guys are involved.

I don't wish to support that. I want YouTube to go under so we can maybe get a video site that doesn't suck.

I'm earmarking mine to repair a church
This is a common prefix among Muslims. It is not serving a calculated purpose. This is appended out of respect of the prophet they believe in. There are certain sects which append or prepend name of some other religious figure important to them. I have been told that some people even use to (and may be still do) add name of their teachers with their names in older times out of deep respect / reverence.

Names are part of identity the same way origin is. Can't just ask to purge it because everyone around has some of it in common.
There are Nix LSP servers now that handle embedded config files. But beyond that, you can always just leave the config in its original format and import it into the Nix config, and not lose your syntax highlighting.

Speaking of vim, I've got neovim configured completely with home manager. It references plugins as first-class nix packages, and also any external dependencies like language servers, node packages, parsing tools etc are also managed by Nix. You can reference the deps in the vim config and it will automatically download and point to them in the nix store without even installing them.

It's amazing. Everytime I upgrade and building my system, my nvim setup gets upgraded automatically too. No need for a package manager or manual updates.
For me the biggest benefits of flakes are:

- flake-specific state is fully captured and locked

- this locking applies for all platforms the flake targets

- extreme ability to be composed

The first two solve the same issue as Gemfile.lock, its the PLATFORMS section, and the platform annotations on each of its gem line, which allows `bundle lock` to lock not just for the platform it's being run on but all platforms that are targeted.

It also canonicalizes the way to declare targets to build, whereas previously it was kind of TIMTOWTDI (e.g default.nix evaluation is the default target and calling nix-build sans arguments builds that to `result`, and if you want more you write alternative nix files, the whole organisation of that is on you)

These are very useful for project-oriented nix stuff.

For system (nixos, nix-darwin)/environment/profile/home management I still prefer classic channels, which gives me a single, consistent nixpkgs source, kind of like BSD's base which is handled as a whole (except here it applies to the whole of packages). I am still able to locally override this or that by selectively pulling another nixpkgs (or other source) and use that to pick a specific package version (either forward or backward) but otherwise I stick to the single consistent one.

It feels to me that using flakes for the whole system would be like using npm and having a whole recursive tree of `node_modules`. I certainly don't want to have a thousand different openssl around!
If you vote for less inequality, be prepared for a lower standard of living. No country has ever managed to raise the standard of living of its citizens by preventing people from getting rich and/or confiscating their wealth and/or murdering them (see Pol Pot).
