My experience exactly. I honestly don't know how someone can think that Docker is a solution to anything. At best it's a shortcut for the lazy and incompetent but it doesn't lead to a bright future. Of course, the people setting up this kind of crap are never really responsible for actually maintaining the thing properly so they don't have to care. Of and it creates a lot of job positions that are kind of interchangeable regardless of actual competency. The whole thing is a poor attempt at Fordism for software development.
This reminded me of the SmartKnob View I saw on YT a while back, it's a knob built on a burshless motor that's controlled to provide the user with software defined feedback like tactile clicks and end stops

None of the companies you listed started out offering something particularly unique. Facebook was not the first, or second, or third, social network, and "just" provided enough incremental improvements over its predecessors to finally be one to stick. Microsoft did good business deals and were good at competing with other OS and BASIC providers. Book Stacks Unlimited started 2-3 years before Amazon - I remember being amazed at being able to telnet to books.com and search their catalog. Google was not clearly the best from the outset - they had the best algorithm, but their simplistic search first became a major boon as the number of pages exploded and the more complex searches you needed on competing engines became a problem rather than an asset. None if this is to criticise any of them. They all provided something that eventually made them clear winners, but as much as I detest Musk it's ludicrous to condemn his companies by comparison to what Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon and Google look like in hindsight.

Jellyfin had been great for me, but the setup for jellyfin and the optional niceties like homeserver with NFS, auto download new episodes, Socks5 VPN proxy, subtitles, remote control, getting jellyfin on each TV, etc. definitely looks daunting to the outsider. I've gone all the way with everything I've mentioned, and IMO is worth it. After initial setup, it's been low maintenance. My next upgrade will probably be to replace my NUC with a formal RAID setup like synology, but I haven't filled my current drives yet.

I disagree, it was impactful. More than a fart. What we have to look at is the impact though, not some specific objective that was impossible anyway (ie killing Reddit).

The impact was massive attention to alternatives. Tons of traffic testing on said alternatives. Tons of press to activity pub, etc etc.

It’s just like Mastodon. Every exodus was big for mastodon and activity pub. It gained traffic, interest, devs and users. Did it kill twitter? Of course not, but only fools thought it was likely to.

Killing some massive social network is near impossible. But dismissing the twitter or Reddit drama as being irrelevant because they didn’t die is missing a lot of interesting development in the FOSS ecosystem imo.

It took me a while to figure out how to use this. The idea is to visualize complex number mappings. You draw on the left square and the result is drawn on the right square. The result is generated by either a Φ function (mapping the complex value coordinates to new coordinates) or an f function (mapping the complex value to another complex value), but not both. You can animate either function by using t as a parameter. t has the specified constant value when not animating. You can't iterate, so this won't make fractals.

No I mean that if my bank sends me an email with a scammy subject, it won't get caught in the spam filter because everything else is legit, like the From field, their verified domain, email signatures, and the body content. They use the same domain and presumably the same email address to send such emails and other important emails too.

But if a scammer sends me a fake email, it'll probably get caught in the spam filter of my email provider (hopefully).

It's highly unlikely that any operating system can be as secure as Qubes OS[1], simply by considering the model itself. Especially if using Whonix[2] VMs to browse the internet. It is based on GNU/Linux and Xen.

Each piece of software can be separated into its own VM. It uses read only templates for the root filesystem, making it difficult for malware to persist.

Templates have no access to networking or hardware making it difficult for them to be compromised, AppVMs where you run software can be treated as throwaway and be trivially destroyed after each use.

Dom0 has no access to networking, USB devices and runs no software. Total compromise would require a hypervisor escape.

It is designed with the assumption that you will be owned start to finish.

Yeah so I was wondering if a possible solution to your proposed market failure could be a service that motivates people to get rid of their mortgages by buying them off. This would eliminate the problem of having to find a counter party, you only have to find the people willing to compromise on their 3% mortgages.

Basically the business would be: Find the amount of money banks would pay upfront to the holders of the 3% mortgages, market that amount of money to the holders looking to move that otherwise wouldn't want to.

It would create a little bit of extra liquidity in the market and it might allow home owners to deploy their excess capital that they now hold back because of the awful deal they get.

Weird thing, I'm in The Netherlands and here 100% of the mortgages are transferable to a new house, at least within the same bank. I tried googling why that is but I only found all the banks advertising the fact without saying if they do that to comply with some government regulation.

Honest question, but why would you want this? Wine is obvious, there was a lot of software exclusively on Windows with no match on Linux when the project started, and that still is very true today for games.

While there certainly is a handful of exclusive software for the Mac, I don't see anything that would generate broader interest in this.
Thanks - this is the first that I'm hearing about it, though I don't use Windows that often.

But is not a given it works out that way. It depends on the statistics. You could just as easily give to everyone and lose tons of money.
A lender does not have $1M tied up in a 3% loan. Many lenders have small pieces of that $1M tied up in multiple mortgage backed securities with various tranches of seniority.

The paperwork required to undo all of that and re-underwrite the debt would be enormous.
Really what we need is reverse 2FA, when I'm on a call with someone who is asking for sensitive info I should be able to generate a 6 digit number in their app or website and request that they verify it, if they can't verify it, they're not with the bank. simple.

I had an issue where a bank (chase) called me to verify a transaction it felt was illegitimate, first thing the bank employee (who claimed to be with the fraud department) did was send me a SMS 2FA code that clearly said "do not share with ANYONE" I told him that and he said "yes, but I need it to confirm you are who I'm trying to reach, if you don't give it to me I will lock your account" ... My account was locked and I had to go into a branch, present 2 forms of photo ID to create a new userID and password and be able to use my cards/access my (new) account again.

I had some very strong words for the branch manager and anyone who would listen about how terrible a security practice it is to give those sorts of conflicting instructions.

> the researchers say that children may be "evolutionarily primed" to expect exceptionally high levels of physical contact and care,

What strikes me here is the phrase, "exceptionally high levels." I imagine children need a "normal" level of care; it's only "exceptionally high" in comparison to the deprived state of family systems in these degenerate times.

I often reflect on the understanding in Attachment Theory, wherein a child a needs to have a caregiver who is sufficiently attuned to the child's needs. And it turns out, "sufficiently attuned" means that the caregiver responds in an attuned manner to 30%-50% the child's entreaties. As one of my meditation teachers says, 'That's not a high bar. What grade did you get the last time you scored 50% on a test?'

My outcome was the shutdown of Apollo, rather than the blackout. I no longer read Reddit on my phone. (Except for a link or two clicked from something else, but even then I go to `old.reddit` instead to read the comments). That was really where I wasted the most time on it.

It’s kind of a relief. I think I was too “lazy” to stop on my own because Apollo was so comfortable to use.

> they feed the perception that their rulings are predicated on political ideology rather than judicial principles.

A lifetime appointment now tends to lock in the political ideology of the justice at the time they were appointed, for decades. A limited term would result in more fresh perspectives over time and greater ability to reverse the decisions made that were not in fact based solely on "interpretation of the law".

Using the "bad apple spoils the barrel" analogy, having a routine schedule for refreshing the apples will eliminate the bad apple more reliably than only refreshing the barrel on a random and unpredictable schedule.

It also helps voters take into account with more certainty the views of Congresspeople and presidents regarding SCOTUS when they vote, as now they have no idea when either of those two branches will have the opportunity to appoint a replacement justice.

Musk is 50, he's been selling smoke for 30 years. Tesla was incorporated in 2002, they have been selling smoke for 21 years.

He had plenty of time to get his companies to the aforementioned "hindsight" status.

Instead his focus is to dominate in the financial press, the tech press and on twitter, but in real life once you kick the tires and get behind the wheel it's the same old 150 year old autombile ownership experience, only exchaning one pollutant with an other for political and virtue signaling purposes and because the black pollutant is produced by Arabs.

> > Even if there weren't, just cheap access to launch satellites is enough to make SpaceX a big deal.

Always a big deal in "the future", but you sent this message from 5G or fiber I guess. That's exactly what I mean, the perpetual machine of hype convincing people that there is some product or technology in the works in R&D centers of Musk companies that will radically change their lives in "the future". Just look at the top reply in this thread to get an idea.

In the present you are using other companies that might not be as sexy and dominating in the press but get the job done today, the most important timeline there is.

Very encouraging to see the steady increase of viable hardware options that can handle various AI models.

At the beginning of the year, there was only one practical option - nVidia. Now we see at-least 3 vendors providing reasonable options. Apple, AMD and Intel. We have been profiling several options and I will share some of our findings here.

The good stuff

- Apple Macs were a pleasant surprise on how easy it is to get various models running

- AMD also made impressive progress with PyTorch and a lot more models run now than even 4-5 months ago on MI2XX and Radeon

- We tried both Intel Arc and Ponte Vecchio and they were able to execute everything we have thrown at them.

- Intel Gaudi has very impressive performance on the models that work on that architecture. It's our current best option for LLM inference on select models.

- Ponte Vecchio surprised us with its performance on our custom face swap model, beating everyone including the mighty H100. We suspect that our model may be fitting largely in the Rambo cache.

The wishlist

- For training and inference of large models that don't fit in memory - nVidia is still the only practical option. Wishing that there are more options in 2024 here

- While compatibility is getting better, a ton of performance is still left on the table on Apple, AMD and Intel. Wishing that software will keep getting better and increase their HW utilization. There is still room on compatibility as well, particularly with supporting various encodings and model parameter sizes on AMD.

- Intel Gaudi looks very promising performance-wise and wishing that more models seamlessly work out of the box without Intel intervention.

- Wishing that both AMD and Intel release new gaming GPUs with more memory capacity and bandwidth.

- Wishing that Intel releases a PVC kicker with more memory capacity and bandwidth. Currently it's the best option we have to bring our artists workflow with face swap training from 3-days to a few hours. It scales linearly from 1-GPU to 16-GPUs.

- Wishing Intel support for PyTorch is as frictionless as AMD and nVdia. May be Intel should consider supporting PyTorch RocM or up-stream OneAPI support under CUDA device.

really grateful to all vendors for providing access to hardware and developer support.

Looking forward to continue filling our data center with interesting mix of architectures.

Yes, and there is a general misunderstanding, mostly a willful misunderstanding among older, established homeowners, of the fact that you need to build more housing just to keep the population the same, especially when older people are squatting on empty family-sized homes.

I pointed out that you (probably accidentally) accused me of lying, if that’s what you’re confused by? or do you mean that I accused you of being confidently wrong? being wrong isn’t lying

Hackintoshing. I don't want to buy a separate machine just to make iOS apps, but sadly I have had to do so. A few years ago I was able to run Windows, macOS, and Linux in Proxmox, it worked pretty well, but I'm not sure how long that will still be available as macOS moves fully to ARM.
