A Pet-Friendly Paradise: Safe Artificial Grass for Furry Friends
How does this work?

Fundamentally, containers are about namespace/isolation of a bunch of OS interfaces, so file system functions, network functions, memory management, process functions, etc, can all pretend like they're the only game in town, but crucially without having to virtualize out the kernel.

Does XNU have such namespacing functionality across all its interfaces?

Furthermore, the existing container ecosystem assumes a Linux syscall interface. [1]. Does macOS provide that? I expect not.

The way Docker Desktop (and podman.io) implement "containers on macOS" is a bit of a cop-out: they actually run a Linux virtual machine (using Hypervisor.framework/hvf), and have that just provide the container environment.

Is that what this project is doing? But then, how could it run a macOS container?

[1] based on the foundation that Linux, unlike BSDs, has a stable syscall interface!

But there's a constant influx of "My <crap console> has broken, what do I do?"

There is no doubt the hackers would take sonys money and then sell the data anyway. You will lose badly by paying them. You have to consider the breach as a total loss if you are Sony, paying up ransomware is foolish decision.

The target for these hacks is always for the company to pay, so companies not paying is a very good play.

Right, but you know enough -- of course! -- to say that I do not know.

No no, of course, it's just going to be a modulo trick.

I'll have to give that secure knot a try. My son keeps getting his shoelaces undone, and we tend to solve it with just an extra knot on top, but maybe there's a better solution.

I've been tying my shoes for a couple of years now with his "Ian Knot" method, and it works very well. I never mastered the asymmetrical single-loop method, so all my life I'd been doing the bunny ears. Maybe the asymmetrical method doesn't make sense to me for a symmetrical knot. The Ian Knot makes more sense and is easier and faster.

Others in the family tried it too, but I don't think it stuck with them.
>Where do you store where the application-specific KV stores are located? Are you just going to hard-code it so the application cannot be moved or installed elsewhere or on external drives?

I would put that in the same directory as the executable so I can have more than one executable of the same program or the path is simply passed as a command line parameter in the systems unit file.

Compare that to hardcoding the registry key path in the executable...

The transitively linked docs have some answers:

rund is an experimental containerd shim for running macOS containers on macOS.

rund doesn’t offer the usual level of container isolation that is achievable on other OSes due to limited macOS kernel API.

What rund provides:
- Filesystem isolation via chroot(2)
- Cleanup of container processes using process group
- OCI Runtime Specification compatibility (to the extent it is possible on macOS)
- Host-network mode only
- bind mounts
> The major reason people in the north hate hearing about investment in the south is because politically it is very clearly a zero sum game. If the south gets investment, the north doesn't.

Indeed. But that’s politics, not a law of nature. The zero-sum game is completely artificial: the money tree does not exist until you need it and then it does. A sensible revitalisation policy for the North would pay for itself over the long term.

The incentives are really not great from a political point of view and that is very unfortunate. Still, hurting London economically won’t help the rest of the UK in any way.
My point was not about potential future AI (and not about current NNs). My point was that Anthropic MARKETING team CLAIMS that it is aiming for the AI which would love humans, and it is a commendable effort. But I think, that just like any other corporation in the history, Anthropic cares only about the unrestricted growth and quarterly revenue/profit values. And any "ethics" bs they throw around is a marketing gimmick, designed to improve their image despite them creating a human job replacements right now, right here. That's both due to the direct job replacements, and also by crapping all around older industries, ignoring copyright laws and stealing private IP just because law don't specify NNs directly.

Not really. I started picking up reading as a habit last year, and as long as you do some research then there's no reason to read crap, but there's also no reason to read epics if those don't appeal to you either.

This is going to be a classic "computer programmer wants math to be like computers and doesn't get it" kind of take, but In my view the problem of mathematical rigour (or lack thereof) has only become worse over the 20th century and we certainly did not resolve any of the underlying issues in a foundational sense or a practical sense. In a practical sense, it's become much worse and we have many more layers now. In a foundational sense, we succeeded in giving up because we learned that we can in some sense pick and choose whatever is most convenient for our line of research.

That's probably okay if we view mathematics in the way this book (I have not read it, going based on the description here) advocates, as a sort of toy for playing with arguments. And I'm certainly not saying Math should ever be viewed as an empirical discipline nor constrained by that kind of thinking. But I don't think I'm the only one that takes one look at things in the realm of say higher category theory and thinks it's mostly playing word and symbol manipulation games, and lacks any real mathematical content that could not be discovered at a lower and more understandable (and less likely to produce new research) level of abstraction.

I guess I've sort of betrayed that I am pretty firmly a platonist in that respect so make of that what you will.

Like I said, this is not an unusual opinion for a computer person to have and I'm sure it's fairly annoying to any pure mathematician at this point. But I think it's still fair if we want to understand what turns certain people off of pursuing mathematics further.

There's no fundamental reason why electricity prices be rising. Solar and wind have been dropping at nonlinear rates for a decade,and likely will for another decade. They are already the cheapest power sources by LCOE than even natural gas turbine. I don't live in the UK, but in the US the electrical cost of recharging an electric car was far less than fueling a gas car even before the current rise in gas prices. Long term even moreso.

Replacement of an EV battery will likely get cheaper and cheaper and cheaper. If you read anything about the sodium ion and LFP technologies that are coming to market and the sulfur techs that will likely eventually replace them, the battery replacement will get cheaper and cheaper. Meanwhile I recently replaced my ICE transmission for $6000.

As for long range trips, the recharge times are dropping. Battery distances are increasing so people with long range requirements will probably be able to get 500 mi or longer battery capacities. For some vehicles that want to go even further than that, it will probably be some sort of generator, additional battery trailers or other mechanisms. This will likely be the soul use case that internal combustion engines have an advantage on. The other thing that is pointed out by EV users is that by charging at home you save more time on a daily basis not having to go to the gas station. So overall, unless you drive daily very long distances in the end you'll have more time.

Every modern car is filled to the brim of computers and Carrington events will likely wipe out all of them as well. However, what would you rather have a vehicle that could charge off of potentially solar cells you have on your roof in a disaster? Or would you rather have an IC vehicle that is useless without fuel, and the fuel supply logistics have collapsed in the Carrington event?

You sound like a shill for British Petroleum. Don't worry, you'll be able to buy an ICE and refuel on ICE, likely for several decades if you so choose.
How something like this gets patented?

There is nothing innovative about this.
windows is adding chat gpt that allows it to run commands on your computer. Things like "open application X" or "maximise this window". They still need the user to press a button for each action it operates though.

Sure, harmless now, but imagine you let one of these LLMs actually use your browser, logged in as you, and it does something that you didn't intend it to do. We are getting to that point fast where you can ask an LLM to check your emails and answer them for you, order food from uber eats or use some internal company or government system that can control a huge number of different variables.

Funnily enough it seems human error (through bad or misguided LLMs prompts) is going to become much more common as LLMs do more things for us. You would kind expect the opposite from automated computer systems, yet here we are.
Thebopposite is also true, with properly trained filters you are going to pursue stuff that has no chance to work. Almost like you need a healthy of people (age, sexe, culture...).
> Does XNU have such namespacing functionality across all its interfaces?

I don't think so, but some Docker features could be implemented using XNU sandboxing AFAIK

> Furthermore, the existing container ecosystem assumes a Linux syscall interface. [1]. Does macOS provide that? I expect not.

This project is about running macOS containers on macOS. It's not about running Linux containers.
Less idealistic maybe, but I do not feel that they are less innovative. It's harder to buy into hype and noise when you have seen decades of trends come and go. I personally tend towards more "boring" solutions to my problems, but the overall problems I solve continue to be dynamic and interesting. It is possible to use simple pieces to build something complex.

And of course sometimes things like LLMs do come along and I incorporate the apparent capabilities into my toolbox as something with serious, non-hype, potential application. Though I am also jaded from watching far too much get hype like IoT and crypto. Watching companies waste billions on valueless innovation tends to do that.
> Intelligence is all about coping under failure. It is a lot more like, 'acting safely when you dont have the answers you need' than 'answering questions correctly'.

This is the first time I see this definition of intelligence.

My first impression is that this is a relevant aspect of intelligence, but very far from "all about". (other aspects being things like "abstract thought", world knowledge, agency, ...)

> That latter impulse resigns the whole field to cheap mimicry

AIs are inherently non-human intelligence. (I like the shoggoth-comparison [1]). AI companies go to great length to make them behave more human-like. If you look at earlier AIs (e.g. when they play games against humans), you will find that human experts (e.g. the people they play against) they will often note, that the AI behaves very unhuman and un-understandable in certain aspects (e.g. they make a move that seems utter non-sense at first, but will be very important 40 moves latter in the game). (I should note, that the opposite is true as well: sometimes the AI surprises the expert by exhibiting very human-like behavior)

As I understand it, electric cars are actually surprisingly polluting, which is a consequence of their battery weight and particulates from tires:

https://dynomight.net/tires/
Where I live electricity prices are about 1/8 the price per kilometer compared to gasoline. And I have rooftop solar, so for me it's even better. And I have not had to suffer a gas station in over a year - that in itself would be worth it even if not for the cost per kilometer.

Not to mention no oil or filter to change, no plugs or coil packs to go bad, no catalytic converters to steal...
I’m in my mid 40s, and honestly I have more ideas than I ever had in my 20s!

However, the big difference, is energy and motivation.

I was a machine in my 20s, but these days a late night hacking session ends with me paying the price the following day. Execution is everything.
An order of magnitude literally means 10. Not 100,000. Usually it costs like $1-2 a roll, so it should have gone to $10-20 a roll as soon as shelves emptied the first time. That would have meant that people would have bought only what they need (they would not have seriously spent $1000 on TP), but nearly all people could have afforded say $40-50 to get a 4-pack to get them by a week until more were delivered. That minimizes consumers’ excess hoarded inventory— which is where all the TP was.

Instead, IRL, anyone who could find them were buying up several massive packages because it was only the normal ≈$20 for 20 rolls situation, so “heck, buy 60, 80, maybe 100 rolls! Who knows when I’ll get this lucky as to find it again?” Meaning suddenly everyone was buying and warehousing way more TP than they needed in 6 months. Not adjusting prices literally caused the shortage.
It all boils down to energy and exposure to current trends.

Older people tend to hang on to the past, so they are less "innovative" as per the current trends. For eg: For the love of God, I can never understand TikTok and why it is famous. There are a slew of new emojis which I don't understand. Sometimes, I feel that these are important to understand while coming up with ideas to stay relevant.

You seem to have got stranded down the wrong path. I'm not talking about "Yeah, from shoestring to millionaire, right?"

It doesn't matter if someone was a millionaire and took a risk and made loads of money, or whether Bill Gates worked hard or not. When they made that new money, they did so by creating value, because people paid them for their product or service.

When it comes to Bill Gates, Microsoft made and supplied the software that has computerised almost all businesses worldwide and home computers for decades. That is obvious, and enormous, value.

That's all I've been saying. Does it make sense?
It's not only a matter of having a runway available. The F-35 is very data-centric and is very dependable on IT-systems which need connectivity also on remote sites. This can be easily solved by using modern 4G/5G networks (either dedicated MoD ones or public ones) with the "right" encryption running over it cleared for military use, but it is a constraint which needs to be taken into consideration. In the Gripen/Viggen days, you probably only needed a few trucks with equipment/fuel and conscripts. Now you need additional "datacenters in a box" to make this work.
If you look at the total financial means Proton has spent to develop and grow, >98% came from the community, making VC funding less than 2%.

Well, no pixel 8 for me. Pixel 7a will be my last pixel phone.

I thought pixel 7a would be a nice upgrade from my pixel 4a. Three months later, the battery barely lasts a a day, and the microphone stopped working clearly due to a software bug, ie, it works on calls and videos, but not on applications.

While making voice calls on a Bluetooth system, the connection randomly drops, and when it connects back, the microphone doesn't work, only speaker. Very poor product for the price.

The wireless charging charges 1% per hour. There are probably more issues I can't remember right now
Uh, really? Are universities routinely developing robots with that level of hand dexterity? I mean the way fingers close around the objects, it looks incredibly human.

I don't know how DJI works, but presumably it ships the video out to a service that you then log in to to view?
