You can also run the same build when there's no OS fragmentation. Say all Windows machines run the same build. All iPhones run the same build (well not quite, but let's say they automated and hid the builds very efficiently on the App Store, zero effort). All in all, builds are not a problem. If they're a problem, it's a symptom of a fragmented, immature ecosystem, which indeed many Linux/BSD distros continue to be, in the big picture.

However none of this matters. Because we have Java and countless other cross-platform runtimes. WASM is at best just another variation on the same theme thrown in the same pool. I definitely see how one could justify WASM hype by saying all the things will be WASM because it's so sandboxed and multiplatform. But that's the engine of all hype cycles. Truth is it likely won't happen, because WASM is nothing new and nothing unique. That niche is filled with solutions already.

We could theorize everyone will have a WASM compiler backend because it runs in browsers, therefore it'll become more useful on servers as you have compiler backend for everything to WASM. However YOU yourself said the web is not the most interesting place for WASM. So what will supposedly drive the WASM ecosystem, that makes it interesting (the web) isn't interesting, but it has to be interesting so the server use of WASM becomes more interesting. Quite the chicken egg problem there. Might work, might not.

I lived through a period on the web when every language had a JS compiler backend. You could compile Java to JS, Delphi to JS, C# to JS and so on. Maybe some of those solutions still exist in some half-dead form, but they're largely abandoned, because people realized the best language to write JS in... is JS. This is also why TypeScript has such success, because it's JavaScript itself (but with types).

For WASM we can argue there's no such pressure to "write JS in JS" but there's just very little value for it, outside the nerd realm of "OMG assembly on the web". I know why Google wants it. It wants it because it indexes the web, and puts ads on the web, and so therefore it wants everything to be the web, because then it means Google can index and put ads on everything. That's good for them, but not for anyone else. Downloading and running hundreds of MB of code for an app like Photoshop, or whatever, over the web is an absolutely miserable experience. Not to mention the HCI input capabilities and OS services available to the app, which are understandably limited in a browser.
In the case of SF is a little bit of both.

Sometimes I wonder if half of the city is not owned by FAANG, so they can get back some of those paychecks they sent you.
This is built on a misunderstanding of what the ZFS licensing issue is.

ZFS is licensed under the CDDL [0], which is a copyleft license that grants you full rights to use the ZFS source code for basically anything, providing that any derivative works incorporating its source code are also are under the CDDL. There is no "licensing fee" that you can pay Oracle related to this.

Linux is licensed under the GPL, which just like the CDDL, is a copyleft license which requires derivative works to be distributed under the GPL.

The conflict here is that both require the entire derived work to be distributed under CDDL/GPL, but obviously only one license can be picked.... even though realistically, GPL and CDDL are quite similar licenses.

The additional fact that is useful to know is that zfs.ko, the zfs kernel module, is distributed under the CDDL by ubuntu, and any other distro distributing it that I know of.

So, with that knowledge, who can sue who and why?

1. The people that can be sued are people distributing compiled zfs binaries (the 'zfs.ko' kernel binary). In practice, this means canonical, and anyone else who distributes disk images using ZFS (such as snapshotted EC2 AMIs)

2. The people who can sue are the holders of the Linux GPL license, and they can do so by claiming zfs.ko violates their copyright by being a derived work of the linux kernel, but being distributed under the CDDL rather than the GPL.

So, first of all, the vast majority of companies using ZFS aren't also distributing binary distributions containing zfs.ko and the linux kernel together, therefore this whole thing is moot. Realistically, most companies using ZFS only have the risk of _canonical_ being sued, and that breaking their filesystem, not them running into legal issues themselves.

And second, it would require a holder of Linux copyright to file suit, and realistically, no court could find significant damages here.

Canonical also has lawyers that claim 2 wouldn't legally follow, that 'zfs.ko' is not in fact a derived work of the linux kernel. There's differing opinions there, but pretty much everyone agrees that the people who could sue if this interpretation is wrong is the holders of Linux copyright, not oracle.

To be specific - Poland. We don't have enough immigrants from middle east and africa for this to be noticeable problem. It's mostly uneducated drunk idiots who target ER teams. Firefighters - I didn't heard about them being targeted yet.

Edit: I don't say that MENA immigrants targeting public services is not an issue. I say that this issue exists globally too, it's a result of having a lot of uneducated demoralised people, whatever their background or origin.

The name is just "Jahn" in the openstreet map data.

Can it refer to somebody else?
Oh, yeah, true. I have done a couple of pretty complex things that involved parsing code or manipulating ASTs and it was probably useful for that.

I attempted to write a parser for Wikitext once in ANTLR which was an interesting nightmare.

Shopify is a good start. Similar to Woocommerce - Elementor, Shopify has a Pagefly pagebuilder, that allows you to create pages easily, using simple blocks design. So no problem there.

Texas became a pretty unsafe place for lgbtq people. Austin has historically maintained an open and friendly atmosphere for people of all stripes. But a friendly city in a dangerous state is still a dangerous place to live if you are queer.

There is also Illumos/OpenIndiana/OmniOS, basically continuations of OpenSolaris. I have used OpenIndiana for many years and it's been dead reliable and stable.

There's quite a few "quality of life" differences like boot environments (boot into a pre upgraded OS state, even years old), built in SMB server with NFS v4 style ACLs, dtrace, built in snapshot scheduling and management, and Napp-It is an available web UI for management a la FreeNAS/TrueNAS.

It has a few differences, service management is quite different from other things, but overall very underrated as an OS I think.
On what grounds? ZFS has an open-source license. The only semi-open question related to the topic is packaging it together with another, different open-source license that is viral and mandates more things (GPL). That part is not being “violated” by an enduser, but the distro maintainer.

Not all, although the language was designed that way.

Some dialects and optimising compilers, had multiple passes.
Congrats you got the reference. I figured most folks here would.
Every second street name (primarily in front of schools) is named [Friedrich Ludwig] Jahn here. He is often also only referred to by "Jahn" (e.g. "Jahn School"), so I doubt there is any ambiguity in the data. Other examples are `Jahnweg`, `Jahnstrasse`, `Jahnstiege`, all referring to the same person.

In the list for The Netherlands, the Dutch painter "Jan Steen" scores remarkably high.

If I understand equivalents.js correctly, this is probably due to the many occurrences of a "Steenstraat", which typically refers to the first street being paved ("steen" is Dutch for stone), and not to the painter.
This problem/attack is called "confused deputy". It's surprisingly hard to find a link that correctly explains the problem and its mitigations. This one is correct but not very verbose:

In the beginning, there were incompatible microprocessors, so p-code was widely deployed to avoid having to write the same Pascal compiler over and over on every platform, but it was slow because it was interpreted, but even worse was that it tended to crash.

Later, the Java VM was created, to avoid rewriting the same code over on every platform, but it was slow because it was interpreted, but thanks to JIT, that was pretty much taken care of. The main problem then became the fact that it, like ActiveX before it (which wasn't cross-platform), got general access to the file system, and could never really be safely used.

It remains to be seen if WASM/WASI retain their commitment to capability based security, which is at this point the main selling point. There have now been fast cross platform systems, but this is the first that builds in capabilities, and doesn't give general access to the file system.

Analogy #1 - We need such a system... it's like power in a home... with a circuit breaker, and the promise that you're only going to get 15 amps, not all of the power of the grid, flowing to anything you plug in.

Analogy #2 - It's like cash in a wallet, you decide how much to hand over to an untrusted partner in a transaction. You should be able to decide what files/folders to hand to a program, and know it won't get anything more than that.

Analogy #3 - The IBM PC XT with twin floppy disks was the most secure general purpose computer of its time, and still is. You had control over your data, full and transparent control, because you decided what the allowable side effects were when you decided what disks to let it access, and also if they were read-only or writeable. You can't do that today.
There's a subtle but very important difference.

Electricity theft does extract a resource from the grid (electricity provider needs to supply the energy you're using on the other end). Similarly, phreaking uses phone lines which is a finite resource too (and phone company would rather keep those available for paying customers).

Cable on the other hand runs all channels to your household in the first place. By removing the filter, you aren't creating any additional load on the cable network or using any additional resources for free.
Combatting RSS Overload
To chime in, I don't, but yes, it's my understanding that for many people the "voice in their head" instead metaphorical at all.

I was always under the impression that the internal narration used in visual media (e.g. the Dexter opening sequence comes to mind [1]) was taking a dramatic license, but it's apparently some people's lived experience.

CDDL (ZFS’s license) is also like that, the problem is exactly the two “strong” copyleft licenses.
Java applets could access the DOM and even run Javascript functions.
Fun (unrelated) oscilloscope story happened to me recently. I was having some problems with fingers of my hand going numb so the orthopedic surgeon sent me for a procedure she said would be "unfortunately pretty unpleasant" called a "nerve conduction study" with an eminent London professor to try to diagnose the problem.

When the day came the dude showed up with a laptop attached to a small box and a number of leads. I said to him[1] "hey there, I'm an engineer, would you mind telling me how this study works" and he (delighted) explained to me that although his title was a professor of neurology he was actually a biomedical engineer and the procedure was hooking me up to an oscilloscope and sending currents down the various nerves of my arm to see whether (or not) they were detectable on the oscilloscope and therefore being conducted properly down the nerves. So I spent 30mins or so having various electric shocks applied to my arm and looking at the pictures on the (very fancy) oscilloscope while shooting the breeze about medical imaging and machine learning with this professor.

The procedure was mildly unpleasant but super-interesting as a result.

[1] Sort of as a coping strategy because I expected it to be painful.
Maybe in Poland this is the issue, in the rest of Europe it is not.
Not even old ones, if we taken optimising compilers like VMS Pascal into account.

I used to have my own (rather extensive) config, and switched to prelude a bit more than a year ago. I think the whole key to prelude is that it promotes useful packages, with an eye on beginners. I did change a whole bunch of things, but there's less I need to get rid of in prelude (like disabling guru-mode, what you mention - too patronising for me) than I'd have to add to vanilla Emacs, so I stuck with it. I can recommend investing some time and giving it a chance - I think most people won't be entirely happy if they just go for the out of the box behaviour.

My additions/removals are just a few lines now and I find the whole setup a lot more maintainable than rolling my own: https://github.com/fhd/prelude/tree/personal/personal

But yeah, all I can say is that it works for me (with a little investment), YMMV.
Semantics of "Proof" are complicated.

Is incorrect proof still a "proof", just
one which is incorrect?

If Curry-Howard holds then programs are
"proofs". To write a proof is to write
a program.

But what about a program that
has a bug in it? We say it is an incorrect
program. But we still call it a program.
By the same logic an incorrect proof is
still a "proof" as well.

And typically it is a proof - of something.
Every formally valid proof proves SOMETHING,
right?

Instead of asking "Is this proof correct?"
we should ask: "Does this proof prove what
we claim it proves, or something else"?
Agreed. This first item is quite entertaining: "I’m especially interested in how liability law would handle spreading infohazards, e.g. if a bio lab publishes a virus sequence that is then used for bioterrorism"

Well, if that happens, it would seem legal liability is not the most important topic or the first line of business...? Fighting the pandemic would be a little more urgent? Is it possible we need more biologists than lawyers?

I find in the article the assumption almost insulting, that labs haven’t tried training smaller models for longer. Everybody tries that first, of course. It was the common wisdom for decades. No, it doesn’t work better or even as well. The loss curve flattens out.
I still think we need new sports specifically for the modern age and mindset.

Ones designed to not only be low injury risk but also avoid situations where you don't win if you don't take risks.

And also designed so that all the stuff people think is really super cool to watch or do remains a viable strategy.

We've got accelerometers now. Why don't we put them in the sports equipment, detect specific movements, and assign points for stuff we think is beautiful?

You wouldn't have steroid issues if the balls were radar tracked and you got the most points for hitting at an exact speed.

You could make it so there was never a reason to do a high impact lunge towards something, you just wouldn't get any points for that if you trip the G sensor.

It would be like e-sports combined with dance, rather than just a celebration of who has the best body.

That way you don't effectively limit the game to one specific personality type who really likes to push their limits and maybe is willing to do roids.
Dynamic CPU Scheduling: Improved Productivity and Utilization for CPU Clusters
Only if the compiler doesn't do anything beyond basic peephole optimizations.
The discussion at the end of this article starts to get to the problem with extrapolating.

Llama1-65b (roughly Chinchilla optimal) and Llama2-34b used similar compute and although Llama2 not directly comparable is the closest comparator without extrapolating and illustrates the point.

The look at my notions and biases comment instead of providing anything supporting your statement.

Funny how disinformation can spread so easily. Reading that stackexchange link throws a different shade entirely.

The article, which is about the real subject of american incarceration rate, present those dudes as innocent bystanders commiting a minor offence which should not even be an offence. On the other hand, these guys have been illegaly exploiting wild life in a foreign country for almost a decade and got jailed.

Nothing to see here.
Absolutely you are if you give them the bug before promise of payment. You're always best off disclosing publicly if they don't want to pay you.
I'm going to plus one psunavy03's comment here. I own firearms, but they're locked in a gun safe. I pull them out every now and again, drive them to a gun range, fire them, clean them and then put them back in the safe.

And I believe this is the experience of the overwhelming majority of gun owners in the US.

It occurs to me I haven't seen any estimates for how many people open carry on a daily basis. (You would think SOMEONE would collect that data SOMEWHERE.)

The states are sort of (in)famous for how many people own firearms, but I assert the number of people who open carry on a daily (or weekly) basis is much smaller than the number of people who own firearms.

I'm going to stop short of accusing nojvek of nutpicking, but encourage them to look around. The stats I've seen are that one in three Americans owns a firearm. If you were walking around and one out of three people were open carrying... well... I think that would be a little unusual unless you were in a gun show or at a shooting range.

Gun-culture in America can be weird, but it's often portrayed as being weirder than it actually is.

[Edit: also. how did we go from cable modems to guns so quickly?]
I'm in greater Seattle so maybe I'm biased, but holy basil is available in Asian groceries from time to time, you just have to go looking and jump on it when you find it.

Basically like many C compilers outside UNIX during the 1980's.

RatC did not need 500 lines for its preprocessor support, by the way.
Oh, nice. In my case I sort of forgot to set the record sizes, got great compression, and then realized I'd missed the record sizes so tried lowering/matching them and watched compression ratio drop to... I think all the way to 1.0:( So that was a natural experiment, as it were. But of course it totally depends on the exact size and most of all your data.
> It's built into the trigger mechanism.

What, so pressing the trigger automatically disengages the safety? As a non-gun-person that seems like an insane design decision.
