Definitely recommend. We were at around 14 (pCi/l) as well. Peaks up to 20. Got an active mitigation system installed last year for around $1k. Hasn’t exceeded 2 since.

Unforeseen benefit of no longer having to run my dehumidifier this summer. So it’ll end up paying for itself in electricity cost after maybe a decade hah.
It's related to hypermedia though? The whole point is to go back to servers returning hypermedia (ie html) instead of json. How is that not related?
I don't condone those Israeli policies, but I don't think terrorist attacks are a productive way to incite peaceful reform. There's no fair solution when one side is much more powerful and cruel with that power, but responding with violence sure doesn't convince people to shake hands.

Of course following the move and going AGPLv3 would solve the project contribution issue.
In fact it'd back Canonical into an interesting corner as Incus would be allowed to freely take LXD changes, but the opposite would not be possible unless they let go of the CLA.

It certainly would put Incus in a great situation, if it wasn't for the fact that we think keeping the Apache2 license is the right thing to do. The Go packages provided by Incus are used in hundreds of other codebases, a switch to AGPLv3 would cause those codebases to have to follow which would only lead to reduced adoption for Incus and a lot of pain in the Go ecosystem as a whole.

And then there is the fact that many large companies, including some that have been relying on LXD in the past, have policies specifically against the consumption of AGPL code. One prime example of that would be Google, which last I checked make up more than 50% of the LXD user base thanks to LXD being used on Chromebooks for the Linux shell feature.

Overall, the thing I hate most with this change is that it's going to make what was otherwise a pretty cordial relationship between the two projects now turn into a very stressful one where we need to basically be careful not to look at each other's stuff...
It may seem that LXD and Incus were straight up competitors, but in reality, we were doing behind the scenes debugging together, sending each others' link to pull requests and specifications, ... this effectively all ends today and it's a shame.
Israel is a democracy made up of various parties with a whole spectrum of opinions. Some are for a two state solution (center-left), some for a one state solution in the form of "greater israel" (hard right, fringe elements if you ask me), and others that honestly just don't give it much thought. Hamas, on the other hand, is quite ideological about its stance with regards to the destruction of Israel.

Israel was not created by "stealing Palestinian land."

"Palestinians have never stopped defending themselves." Do you mean when they explode suicide vests and shoot rockets at cities? Is that what you call defending themselves?

"genocidal occupation..." I find it hilarious that people can say a population with some of the highest growth on the planet is at the same time suffering a genocide.

LXC/LXD is similar to Jails. You have a directory with a whole distribution and a config file with a few details such as network setup and bind mounts.

It is much simpler than Docker. I think it's a better starting point if you want to learn about containers.

Just last week I tried LXC on Debian, but there was a conflict with iptables. I had more success with Ubuntu.

Although I got a good chuckle out of that, don't lose sight of the bigger goal here. Fighting needs to stop or, failing that, be contained. We want to create low-stress, high-comfort, high opportunity situations.

If doing that involves building coalitions with people who don't care about men dying then so be it. If they do care then so be it. The important thing is where the opinion goes regarding war. What motivates it deserves discussion, but as long as the direction is good that is the most important thing settled.
Classic NIH syndrome. "I made it myself so it must be better", when it's clear that a single sql query doesn't remotely approach a complete solution for scheduling.

Every generation seems to fall into this trap with another tech stack.

I don't think this is really relevant when we are talking about over 20,000 bombs.

What is really interesting is that unemployment rate for PL is 25.7pc vs Egypt's 7pc. So the average income for PL is higher! 4610 v 4100

Also interesting is that PL has a higher life expectancy.

"Finally, looking at that figure you might wonder why the relative risk of smoking has increased so much. Based on my first pass through the literature, it seems like no one knows. There are at least three possibilities:

- Over this period, cigarettes have been reformulated in ways that might make them more dangerous.

- As the prevalence of smoking has decreased, it’s possible that the number of casual smokers has decreased more quickly, leaving a higher percentage of heavy smokers.

- Or maybe the denominator of the ratio — the risk for non-smokers — has decreased."

My first thought was "second hand smoke". My logic is, when smoking was more normalized, non-smokers were exposed to some of the same risk as smokers due to smoking indoors, etc, resulting in higher rates of lung cancer among non-smokers.
Said article is not a commentary. It's pure reporting.

For Jan-Jun 2023, it was 278th most viewed on the platform with 51,800,000 hours of view. It was released in 2022-11-17.

It just makes me wonder what sort of views it would have had to get to get continued for another season.

Definitely a shame - it was a fun show.
Stats seem to say 140K to alcohol and 480k to smoking. Keep in mind that this is with a MASSIVE push to reduce smoking if we party like its 1990 and project current deaths vs the death rate to smoking we had in 1990 we would be seeing over 800k today.

LXD is containers but presented much more like a traditional VM, without so much of the Dockerfile type stuff. If you just want VMs but more lightweight, it's great for that and has less footguns and cruft. If you actually want to make use of the docker-type features then it's not really designed for that.
I mean, even Hamas currently calls for the '67 borders in their charter:

> 20. Hamas believes that no part of the land of Palestine shall be compromised or conceded, irrespective of the causes, the circumstances and the pressures and no matter how long the occupation lasts. Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea. However, without compromising its rejection of the Zionist entity and without relinquishing any Palestinian rights, Hamas considers the establishment of a fully sovereign and independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital along the lines of the 4th of June 1967, with the return of the refugees and the displaced to their homes from which they were expelled, to be a formula of national consensus.

https://web.archive.org/web/20170510123932/http://hamas.ps/e...

Adding to show that the '67 borders are pretty generally supported. There's even support for them among some of the "from the river to the sea" crowd since the '67 borders touch both the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.

Legal drugs may actually be more expensive and less available than their illegal counterparts.

I can't believe it's not pain™
There has been plenty of historical and present proof including video and photo evidence, that Hamas operates from within or near civilian infrastructure such as hospitals and residential buildings.

Given that, do you deny possibility that some residential infrastructure targeted by Israel including that hospital could have been used militarily by Hamas as they have done in the past?

I hear you on that, and can say that Postgres is incredibly capable at going beyond typical relational database workloads. One example are durable queues that are transactionally consistent with the rest of the database play a unique role in our architecture that would otherwise require more ceremony. More details here: https://getoban.pro

We are also working on shifting some workloads off of Postgres on to more appropriate systems as we scale, like logging. But we intentionally chose to minimize dependencies by pushing Postgres further to move faster, with migration plans ready as we continue to reach new levels of scale (e.g. using a dedicated log storage solution like elastic search or clickhouse).

The # of clock cycles to access zero page on 6502 is still higher than from the register set. I forget the exact amount, but it's certainly not another register, from a pure efficiency POV. If I recall it's at least one more cycle. Adds up quite a bit if you're doing things like shuffling in and out of the (single) accumulator.

The TMS9900 took this further, and had no onboard registers (other than PC & status register). Everything was in RAM.

That model only made sense until RAM became slower than the bus speed (late 80s).

The zero page in the 6800 and 6502 not being relocatable also sucked. Something fixed in the 6809 and 65816 respectively.

I suspect the lessons Sophie Wilson learned from the 6502 were... cycle efficiency and minimalism. The 6502 was super responsive to interrupts precisely because it was so sparse on features.
Very approximately, (1) developing AGI is dangerous, (2) we might be very close to it (think several years rather than several decades).

There have been, but iPhones all have the baseband connected via an MMU, so even if you get code execution it's hard to exploit usefully (you can see/modify packets, but nearly everything is encrypted these days).

Some android manufacturers also have an MMU but others connect the baseband directly to main memory, leading to total device takeover when the baseband is compromised.
i think the apache2 license actually permits modifications of the code to be licensed under a different license, including microsoft's eula or the agpl, and doesn't require the original licensing to be preserved for the individual source files (like the mpl) or for the modifications to be kept separate, as a patch (like perl's artistic license), and this was an intentional choice on the part of the apache2 drafters

however, it seems to me that the copyright and license headers (if any) on the individual pieces of code you wrote must be preserved, as well as (as you say) the overall copyright notice:

> You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices from the Source form of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works

No, I didn't.

But no one here was arguing that Hamas should get credit for doing more than is minimally necessary without actually providing any reason to believe that, whereas they have for Israel.

Only Israel's defenders on HN call for it to get a clap on the back for the unusual morality and restraint of its actions.

This to me is the real problem, "AI safety" can mean about a million things but it's always just whatever is most convenient for the speaker. I'm convinced human language/English is not enough to discuss AI problems, the words are way too loaded with anthropomorphized meanings and cultural meanings to discuss the topic in a rational way at all. The words are just too easy to twist.
Never said that they were saints. It's important to know what you're actually dealing with though.

From the article:

"In other words, Hamas’ absolute rule of Gaza is not what the Palestinians voted for back in 2006. In fact, since the median age of Gazans is 18, half of Hamas’ subjects weren’t even born when the election took place."

I cannot help but see most of the arguments that people make equating Hamas with Palestinians as bad faith. Explanations are not excuses and knowing why things are happening is the first real step towards fixing anything.
There were people who were concerned about global annihilation from pretty much the moment the atom was first split. Those people were correct in their concerns and they were correct to act on those concerns.
They have no power, and israel and hamas are killing them in the middle of their war. That is just a misleading comment. They have very very very little power to change things right now. It looks like people are just hoping not to die, and people are dieing all around them.
What do you mean? Hamas said 500 people were killed when that hospital was hit. Everyone agrees it was a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket, so...

Additionally, around 30% of those rockets land in Gaza.

Are you talking about anyone but the Ziz cult? They're very far removed from typical rationalist sphere think.

Arguably, any system that uses a Qualcomm SoC is not secure: either they do it on purpose, or they truly are incompetent, or it is a mix of both. No Qualcomm phone I've ever owned I've been truly happy with from the SoC SDK perspective (makes the job of community ROMs a thousand times harder).

I do consider the Pinephone and Pinephone Pro secure, however. It doesn't use Qualcomm, and the broadband SoC is an isolated part. Allwinner and Rockchip do not have the security nightmare track record that Qualcomm does. They also ship with Postmarket instead of an Android that isn't security focused, which is nice.

The only problem with Allwinner and Rockchip is they are both Chinese companies that may be tampered with by the Chinese government. Qualcomm and Mediatek just have a record, today, of security flaw after security flaw.

The new Samsung-made SoCs in the new Pixels are also an interesting choice. They do not use the Samsung TPM, instead opting for Google's newest version of the Titan TPM. Shortly after the Pixel 6 came out, Google Project Zero issued a story about the Samsung TPM having security issues. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

If Hamas would take up a defensive stance, there would never be any conflict. The only reason Israel attacks has been in response to terrorism.

You seem to view Hamas as just an extreme pro-Palestinian faction that's gone too far, but actually they're a terrorism group in every sense of the word, not tomorrow's leaders. (See video of Hamas throwing Fatah members off a rooftop one by one to their deaths, as one of numerous examples, besides that USA, EU, UK, Canada ... all class it was a terrorist organisation)

I'm not sure what your argument is. "compatibly licensed code" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, and because you don't define that term, your post reads as little more than FUD.

Yes, you cannot distribute GPL'ed software if you don't have a license to distribute the source to the whole work. That's not unique to the Affero GPL, that's equally true for GPLv2 and GPLv3. But that's not a problem with respect to "compatibly licensed code" because that wording implies that said code is compatible with the constraints of the GPL.
