While there are some similarities with the Sony Cell, the differences are very significant.

The PPE of the Cell was a rather weak CPU, meant for control functions, not for computational tasks.

Here the 2 fast threads are clearly meant to execute all the tasks that cannot be parallelized, so they are very fast, according to Intel they are eight time faster than the slow threads, so the 2 fast threads concentrate 20% of the processing capability of a core, with only 80% provided by the other 64 threads.

It can be assumed that the power consumption of the 2 fast threads is much higher than that of the slow threads. It is likely that the 2 fast threads consume alone about the same power as all the other 64 threads, so they will be used at full-speed only for non-parallelizable tasks.

The second big difference was that in the Cell the communication between the PPE and the many SPEs was awkward, while here it is trivial, as all the threads of a core share the cache memories and the scratchpad memory.
This can run very efficiently in a Virtual Machine.

So many virtual machines run complex kernels and security features, for just one application listening on some port.

While this is a toy operating system for some standard Desktop scenario, it is already promising for another scenario, with the move of services to managed containers (serverless) in the cloud, with huge overhead (relative to the tasks performed) and slow startup time.

Then, this can be the AWS Lambda runtime for Rust (add networking and database libraries), and it will be faster and more efficient than other Lambda implementations for the other languages.
My immediate thought before reading the article is that shuffling is the inverse of sorting. To put another way, you can take a sorted list and apply a merge sort on it, but the comparison operation is random. Merge sort can work on data sets that are too large to fit in memory since you sort small sized blocks that do fit in memory, then merge using streaming
Homebrew does not sign commits, code reviews, or artifacts so just be aware you are giving thousands of randos access to run anything they want on your system.

Not to say that the US is a country of unrestricted free speech, but the standard of libel/slander is extremely strict in the US relative to most other countries.

You must make intentionally untrue statements with the intent to harm that causes harm.

The truth is a perfect defense. Even if you thought you were lying, you are protected. If you believe what you are saying, you are protected. If you did not know for certain that you said a lie, you are protected. If you did not mean to cause harm, you are protected. If no harm occurred, even if you tried to cause harm, you are protected.

The standard is extremely hard to reach, possibly even too hard, and it is clearly qualitatively different than most other countries.

> But there is a stack of research a mile high that shows that the number one thing we need is a lot more housing supply

There are millions of units vacant everywhere, be it the US [1] or Germany [2]. The last thing the world needs is more housing construction, especially with the insane CO2 footprint of anything involving concrete.

The problem is that rural areas ("flyover states") have been left to rot: no reliable electricity grid, no public transport, basic infrastructure from grocery stores over schools to basic healthcare has closed down, no high-speed Internet which is a necessity for modern life - and particularly the latter is a major contributor in rural flight, as employers move towards more urban areas, which sets off a vicious cycle as the people follow the jobs, and the remaining infrastructure becomes too expensive to maintain. That this neglect is a direct cause of people losing trust in democracy is just the icing on the cake (and again, this also contributes to rural flight as LGBT and women flee far-right areas in droves).

We need to invest into rural areas again.

Yes, exactly this.

I saw a quote recently from Erik Dietrich that said, "A lot of people mistake activity for productivity” and that describes every scrum implementation I’ve ever seen.

I do work for an mid-sized company, and they are drowning in CSV files. They don't have a database, really. They have lots of different enterprise software systems that they use, each of which exports differently formatted CSV files that need to be combined in various ways to produce either different CSV outputs (for importing into different systems or to be sent to some other organisation) or some other output (like a list of PDFs that are sent to some other organisation or individual) or reports for business intelligence purposes.

I use BigQuery as the database, which is a competitor to SnowFlake which you already support. I also already use ChatGPT-4 a lot nowadays to create and edit the SQL queries (although they can sometimes be so large that ChatGPT can't cope with them so I sometimes use cut-down/contrived examples to write chunks of a query then construct a much bigger query from those smaller examples).

So you could replace my job if you could allow people to name their data warehouse provider of choice, drag and drop umpteen CSV files into it, write some instructions like "Give me a CSV file with all the BLAH matching BLAH" or "Create PDF documents with BLAH information in them" and get the outputs they need on the other end.
I can copy the commands from the PKGBUILD or APKBUILD and run them on a shell to replicate the same work. I can also pick up a random PKGBUILD and modify it to install some completely different package (this is how many people learn these packaging formats).

Looking at those three links that you provided for a Debian package, and I don't see a single clue as to how the package is built, nor how to adapt that to build something else.

I'm sure there's a manual somewhere, but that's the point: PKGBUILD and APKBUILD files are far easier to understand by just looking at them (assuming the reader knows some shell scripting). I actually just glanced through the whole documentation for the "control" file (btw: what does "control" even mean in this context?): https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.ht.... Still no idea on how this builds todoman.

I'll also point out that I'm the maintained of todoman upstream -- so I _know_ how to build this software, but I don't see any clues as to how the debian package builds it.

I hope this makes it a bit clearer why one packaging definition is considered simple and the other hard.

People do seem to vastly under estimate the time span over which Zuckerberg thinks and the end state he is going for. His vision is for a Facebook-like ubiquity of the tech. He sees AI as the pathway there because it means he can remove so many of the hardware sensors he otherwise would need that will be barriers to get the cost low enough. This is how he will make a little bit of money each from literally billions of users the way he has with Facebook. At this stage of development, he just needs these AI problems solved however that happens, whether it's internal or external. Releasing the tech only accelerates his broader version.
I am generally uneasy with all kinds of anatomy illustrations, sections and slices. I associate them with something painful (such as surgeries and various diseases). They also remind me about body impermanence and imperfection. E.g. a single blood clot stuck in some unfortunate place can lead to severe disability or death. Or, a brain needs just 5 minutes without oxygen supply to have irreparable damage. And so on.

That being said, I am slowly overcoming this aversion and anxiety by studying biology in general: cytology, genetics, biochemistry, and related fields of science. I'm fascinated by intricate complexities of a cell, and amazed by wonders of what is possible by combining various atoms in various configurations.

This sense of wonder gradually permeates my overall attitude towards organs and tissues. For example, instead of seeing a liver as an unsettling meaty blob, I perceive it as a complex mechanism which is constantly working to keep me alive and safe from poisons and toxins. Looking at a drop of blood, I can think about red cells, leukocytes and thrombocytes instead of associating blood with pain and body damage.

In other words, I'm starting to view cells and organs as something that truly deserves some kind of glory and admiration. There is an easily perceived kind of beauty in flowers, animals, or mountains. And another, hidden kind of beauty in cells, organs, bodies. It needs some work to be uncovered and become accessible.

The dotfile looks like a great collection of minor tweaks. Thanks.

I don't know what I lied about on the performance though. The MacBook M2 feels slower and sluggish than what I'm used to. It is of course plenty fast enough for what most people need it for. So, I'm not really saying it's not that. But, on discussions on the Mx architecture, the general opinion is blown out of reality. It started when apple straight up lied and sait it was 3 times faster than the existing competition. They just forgot to mention that existing competition was their own previous offering, which was already mid-range when it was introduced 5 years prior.

Take a look at the numbers there and see if that matches your assumptions:

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/5232vs5183vs4782vs5234v...

So, to clarify, my objections are not against "M1/M2 are good CPUs". They are actually pretty great, especially for how well it is supported and integrated with the rest of the system, allowing for exceptional power usage. But, it's not nearly as fast as many think it is. And it's tiring if/when that's the baseline argument for why apple hardware is great. And, I think they are wildly overpriced, especially when upgrading the hardware to the bare minimum for a serious work station (64GB ram and 2TB disk).

You can easily buy that in the US, we have boxes of the stuff at home. Nowadays you can also buy Monk Fruit-based sweeteners, which are also "natural". Unfortunately, both taste a bit worse than Aspartame (which is already not so great). I guess this is just a matter of habit, though.

My daughter (nine years old at the time) was wearing shorts and went to jump from our backyard swing. She let go of the chain at a good time, but her slightly sweating leg skin stuck to the flexible plastic/rubber swing. She ended up swinging back and fell forward on the backward upswing and would have landed straight on her head ... but she broke her fall with her right arm. She broke both bones in her forearm and had some metal support rods in them for six months while they healed. My wife and I were sitting right by the swing when it happened and could do nothing about it. My daughter quite possibly saved herself from a broken neck.

‘Porn’ these days generally implies legal and consensual. Reflect as you will on what that means about society and the pervasiveness of porn as compared to a few decades back.

Regardless, calling it CSAM puts the abuse aspect front and centre, and puts it in a separate category to that, it avoids euphemism rather than adding to it.
This is true. Bioinformatics was full of Perl scripts for a variety of (text) analyses. I however remember well that many students began to hate it soon after working with it, as it was very difficult to understand existing code. So, when given a choice, many choose Python as an alternative. And stayed with it.

No, very large single-speed industrial motors are synchronous motors, not squirrel-cage (induction). These motors cannot start spinning on any number of phases: they can only run at the synchronous speed (which is dictated by the power line frequency and the number of poles in the motor). And it's not a short; it just doesn't run at all if you supply power to it; it only works once it's at the synchronous speed. These motors are used because they're the most efficient type of AC motor. Induction motors have "slip" of around 3% IIRC.
On-Call Shifts Compensation and Scheduling for Small Engineering Teams a Propose
TLRD:
There is no perfect set for small teams, but here is a try.

* $ Compensation
Paying 5% of the hours for the on-call time, being paid or taking time off, with time off that can be accumulated to be used for longer periods.
24 hours * 5% * 7 days = 8.4 hours.

* On-call shifts frequency and time to react requirements
With two people, one can be on call every other week and take two days off monthly to compensate. For example, one could take every other Friday or one Friday and one Monday off.
52 weeks / 2 (every other week) = 26 weeks on call an year.
Time off is fine for on-call Time but not for time in action; Time during outages is much more stressful than normal working hours. Offering time off in exchange for working in outages is not fair. Therefore, for those cases, I think paying for the normal working hours will be the right thing to do, of course, more time off is fine too. If the team grows to four people, one can be on call once a month and have a day off a month, too. The cost stays the same, but it delivers an easier-to-handle situation for the team

Of course, if everyone's wages would rise X%, it will increase rents and real-estate prices accordingly, as those are always prices as high as the market would bear and the more disposable income the market has, the more it can bear price increases.

So not really highly desirable metropolises. Places where most people actually want to live have low vacancy rates and not enough housing.

No argument from me there, even though it is less bang for the buck to invest in rural facilities. But doing that doesn’t preclude simultaneously relaxing zoning laws and whatnot that cause housing crises in cities.

This is an example of the "appeal to nature" logical fallacy. You may be able to make a case that Stevia is healthier than Aspartame, but it should be based on evidence to that effect rather than because you like the idea that it has ingredients derived from organic material.
