I can recollect possessing over 3,000 5.25-inch floppy disks, containing my entire software collection and files. Subsequently, my father procured a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive, and I distinctly remember the considerable expense associated with these acquisitions. Nevertheless, their exceptional convenience for storage was undeniable. I believe I had the original Windows 95 and IBM OS/2 Warp on 3.5-inch disks; each installation required approximately 20 disks.
as micro vms can for some (not all) tasks compete with Linux containers but have the benefit of not exposing you Linux kernel to less trusted code

hence why e.g. some cloude on the edge provider convert you docket image to a micro vm when running it

so maybe some use can be found there

through wasm in micro vm in the edge probably will have a hard time competing with wasm as a sandbox on the edge as such provider probably have an Easter time to add useful boundary features/integrations

Who said it relies "on the whims of a single man"?

Knowing the history of such governments, there would be all kinds of higher level competitors, party factions, bureucracy, lower-level party and local government interests (and thus resistance to things going against it), and so on. With enough of their support, anybody at the top can be toppled, or even arrested. It's a nation of 1.4 billion people, with complicated politics and a well entrenched party rule, it's not some solitary James Bond villain running the show. We just get the simplified cartoon version of it.

I'd say the important part is "mind". That is what they claim they are setting out to create.

Our inability to answer questions like "Why do I exist? Why do I feel pain?" etc. conclusively is probably much less vexing than having a definite answer like "because someone made you to make profit off it and/or have an even bigger hammer to smash people and communities to bits with". Not to mention the following "changes made for the sake of change so someone can say they did a thing" that is already a blight on everything we make.

That's what I always say. Contrary to popular belief, the current ruling party of China poses a much bigger threat to China than any external factor such as the US, Taiwan or India would ever achieve.

There is an meme online titled "When China made a decision", followed by a picture of the Prime Minister of Singapore laughing (see link 0 for sample), hinting the fact that due to many mistakes made under Xi's administration, companies/economic entities (including Chinese founded ones) are moving away from China to Singapore, often citing social control and economic reasons.

[0]: https://www.reddit.com/r/real_China_irl/comments/162oc8g/%E6...

However, I don't really think that's all Xi's fault. There are so many things you just simply don't know if you're a child of nepotism. The party highleaders created their own social class, and as result, they and their offspring became disconnected from the reality more and more generation by generation. Most of them has so little experience of real people and so many experience of nepotism, it is already a miracle if they can still maintain a healthy mental condition, let alone the capabilities needed to do things right.

The same kind of disconnection can also explain why the highleaders believed that the Wolf Warrior Tactic was a smart move: they simply don't understand how politics work, so the most primitive solution became the most obvious to them.
There would be no way to find out if that would be true however. The person in the vat might say they are the same person but you don't know if they really are. Also what happens if you create a copy? Is that two people or is there some kind of shared consciousness? If it is, how do they communicate?
How did people keep up with that? Is there really no competitor who gets this right?

RedHat has been looking at Linux-as-unikernel since 2018, https://research.redhat.com/blog/article/unikernel-linux-ukl...

> The Unikernel Linux (UKL) project started as an effort to exploit Linux’s configurability.. Our experience has led us to a more general goal: creating a kernel that can be configured to span the spectrum between a general-purpose operating system, amenable to a large class of applications, and a highly optimized, possibly application- and hardware-specialized, unikernel... other technologies occupying a similar space have come along, especially io_uring and eBPF. io_uring is interesting because it amortizes syscall overhead. eBPF is interesting because it’s another way to run code in kernel space (albeit for a very limited definition of “code”).

Code, https://github.com/unikernelLinux/ukl

> Unikernel Linux (UKL) is a small patch to Linux and glibc which allows you to build many programs, unmodified, as unikernels. That means they are linked with the Linux kernel into a final vmlinuz and run in kernel space. You can boot these kernels on baremetal or inside a virtual machine. Almost all features and drivers in Linux are available for use by the unikernel.
Question to mods? Was there any particular reason why this post was moved to the bottom of the thread? I can see the reasoning if a person mentioned in the post replies that their answer is moved to the top of the thread. But are HN mods now also moving post independently of the upvotes? Is the criteria mentioned somewhere?

OCaml is a good language but perhaps unikernel does not mean what I thought it did:

Or maybe xen / kvm are no longer called operating systems?

I think diagrams regardless of which type you use are most useful to make sure everyone is aligned on what those options are _in order to have the discussion_. Then the discussion can take place and it logically comes to the right outcome (hopefully) as everyone has clarity on what’s being discussed.

Without the diagram people talk about different things but think they’re talking about the same thing. You need diagrams. Even if you just write it on white boards.

For starters, assuming the Linux variant, build a statically compiled application, pack it into an initramfs as the only file there, for simplicity name it `/init`, bundle the initramfs with the kernel, boot. At this point, your app should be the PID 1 and the only process running (with the exception of a bunch of kernel threads). At this point you can do whatever you want.

Glad assume(expr) is available, if it maps onto builtin-expect but confused by the UB reference. Why would taking the less likely path be undefined behaviour?

You mean the next gen jets that cannot fly in harsh weather conditions and are solely designed to make money? You know the ones that are only being used simbolically in patrol missions over europe while the old F-16s fly actual combat missions? Or the US hypersonic missiles which disintegrate on test flights?

So yes, the fact the majority of people on this forum are engineers who seem to support the made up idea that the US can win a nuclear war against Russia, does shed a negative light on them. But then again so do many other things. But it's mainly the fact that the majority seems to read this comment as me propagating the idea that Russia would win. Us vs. them, right?

Is shopify membership free?

If not, you definitely can't require companies pay you to be able to make DMCA takedown notices.

Oops, went and looked - it's not free. So that's why.

Obviously a bug in the system there needs to be another tier for companies to make DMCA takedowns somehow, I bet someone there is working on that now. Bet it's not easy though.

on edit: what I don't understand though, do other companies pay for shopify just to make takedown notices? Their pricing model and the wording of the article implies they do - that's weird. If I was a lawyer doing shopify takedown notices for my clients I'd get pissed.

The idea of surviving a nuclear war is analogous to a “who can stay in a tub of boiling water for the longest” contest. You might win the contest but you’re sure as hell still going to die.

The nuclear winter that follows a nuclear war will bring humanity back to the Stone Age. We really need to disabuse ourselves of the notion of “surviving a nuclear war”.

Google proxying your chrome traffic doesn’t give you privacy. It gives google further adtech leverage as they know data about you, e.g. your IP address, that the web site doesn’t. In fact the website probably can’t tie your visit to an identity at all without google then.

Look beyond marketing for the features that are important.

Get excited about not having to worry about all the problems with the combustion system of an ICE.

Apart from the savings and convenience, get excited about excellent acceleration and one-pedal driving (i.e. the vehicle brakes by spinning the electric motor in reverse).

Isn't the onus on the provider (Shopify) to quickly respond to DMCA requests lest they are legally liable for the content on the platform? Let's say they completely manually responded to DMCA requests, for example, what is the amount of time they're allowed to take before responding - 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days?
"Wealth tax" already exists. This can be found in Islam.

Muslims have an obligatory charity called Zakat, 2.5% of your standing wealth (if you meet the threshold) directly goes to the poor. This includes what is in your bank account, savings, stocks and shares or investments you intend to sell.
> it's unfathomable to me how an unauthenticated user can just make shops go offline with a false claim

That behavior is strongly incentivized by US law (the DMCA), which holds Shopify liable for any copyright infringement by the shops on its site unless it performs takedowns in exactly this fashion.

To be sure, the law does require the person or entity filing the complaint to attest "under penalty of perjury" that the accusation of copyright infringement is true. But I am not aware of any cases ever where someone was prosecuted for filing false DMCA claims.

If this Shopify lawsuit were to hold the person submitting false claims liable for Shopify's expenses in handling the false claims, that might set a useful president.
True -- but the ultrawealthy are largely concentrated in the USA. There are substantial impacts from renouncing for tax purposes, as well -- for instance, the Reed Amendment means that people who renounce their citizenship to avoid paying taxes are barred from entering the USA in perpetuity.

Additionally, there is an exit tax which captures unrealized gains upon renunciation.

So, yes, American citizens are a small percentage, but if the USA adopted wealth taxes, it would have an outsized global impact.

DEC VT is far from the only escape code set. That's more my point. I agree regex isn't the best tool especially for stream processing, but the amount of escape codes out there (and the fact anything can be an escape code...) is what makes it "nearly impossible".
The reliability issues are surprising:

First on some testbench, developing software, power supply, (physical) install procedures, etc. With that done, one would expect to outfit a few stores to see how they work IRL. But no:

"The initial round of installations in 2018 reached 10,300 screens in 700 stores."

As part of a $200 million plan to cover 2,500 stores.

From testbench to fitting 10k screens across 700 stores, without intermediate testrun in a few stores?!?

On the plus side: if this crashes & burns (pun intented) then it's mostly VC going up in smoke. Hopefully eating profit from Walgreens who dared to go into consumer-hostile territory. And showing other chains not to do this.

Also the difference between the firms' marketing research & actual reception by consumers is baffling. Probaby:

"Or perhaps the surveys backing this data were only ever collected in the first two days following installation at Walgreens locations adjacent to dispensaries holding free pre-roll promotions."

Of course regular shoppers are not Cooler Screens' customers. Or even chain owners(?). The brands they sell advertising space to, are.

There could be 1 consumer-friendly use: looking up label info, ingredients, nutritional value, vegetarian / vegan / halal etc, perhaps compare with alternative products. Without having to open door & grab product. Only a small screen per section would suffice. But nope...

The whole concept is just bad all around. Perhaps it's good thing this initial roll-out was poorly implemented.

Well, yes, but you can also sense which ones are turning slower and just increase the torque to those. Locking diffs simply provide torque to the wheels with grip, which is exactly what one motor per wheel can do too. There’s no difference in the real world, and in fact performance is even better because there’s no turning circle penalty from having a locked diff.
It's interesting that the project seems to have only 2 C-code files and ~350 C++ source and header files - and still more C than C++ code.

Why is there so much overtime and wait time with so many doctors per capita? In Poland wait times can be significant and overtime is rampant but sill lower than what you said but we have one of the lowest number of doctors and nurses per capita in EU.
Another interesting strategy is to use RAM as programmable logic. It's faster, which can be beneficial in some situations, and is obviously easy to change on the fly. The catch is that you'll need a mechanism to bootstrap it - which can be as simple as copying the contents of an EPROM using a counter on startup/reset.
Interesting choice. You won't be able to do it in batches because 50^n = 2^m doesn't have a solution with integer n and m. So you basically have to implement a bignum with division and modulo operations.

Show HN: A virtual office for remote work
My name is Anna, and together with my husband Timur we are the co-founders of Ploito.com — a virtual office for remote work.

Without AI….. Maybe a little bit:)

I am a marketer, Timur is a developer and created Ploito himself.

In Ploito you always see the faces of your colleagues as live avatars with facial details blurred. If you see a colleague's face, it means they are at the computer, and you can talk to them. To do this, make a special gesture and start speaking. No ringing or scheduling calls.

Privacy first. So if someone picks their nose, the live avatar blur becomes stronger :)

This solves many remote work problems:

- Turns scattered remote workers into a team

- Creates Proof of work that cannot be measured

- Increases efficiency through fast communication

And it's cheaper than renting an office!
