Not sure what you mean by that.

The only issue I see compatibility-wise is that ARM doesn't have a standard method for an OS kernel to auto-discover peripherals. x86_64 has UEFI and ACPI. ARM manufacturers could adopt that if they wanted to, but apparently they (mostly) don't want to.

Otherwise, non-assembly code written for x86_64 tends to run just fine on ARM, when compiled for it.

Just throwing some random ideas out...

TCP over file tunnel? https://labs.withsecure.com/tools/tcp-over-file-tunnel or the similar https://blog.adamfurmanek.pl/2022/11/12/availability-anywher...

Or maybe establish a named pipe (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/ipc/named-pi...) on the Windows host, and try to access and proxy through it on the guest? (https://shvechkov.tripod.com/nptp.html) Never tried, don't know if that would work.

Or a similar idea is to make a virtual serial port (COM port) between the two and try to proxy internet over that using PPP, like in the dialup days: https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/virtualbox/6.0/use... https://tldp.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/direct.html https://www.vader.dk/index.php?/archives/13-VirtualBox-guest...

If you can set up some sort of connection like that, you might be able to use putty or telnet to redirect network traffic on the guest through the connection

-------------

But overall this is probably a really good way to piss off your IT department. It's a lot of hassle just to get a Linux box with internet access... why are they making you jump through so many hoops to get a VM connected to the internet?

Alternative idea: turn on the hotspot on your phone and just connect to it from the Linux guest

Alternative idea #2: Just use Windows Subsystem for Linux

Alternative idea #3: Put Linux on a USB drive and boot straight from that (if you can) instead of booting into work's Windows (just borrowing the laptop hardware)

Alternative idea #4: Plug another USB wifi stick into the host and have it share its connection there, connect to it from within the guest using the other wifi chip. Technically you're not routing traffic through the VM, one radio is broadcasting and the other is independently receiving...
OK, fair. But should still be default on.
I will reply mainly to your point (2) first, as I see it often repeated.

> Israel for years had the means to completely exterminate Gaza many times over, but they never did

In a theoretical sense that Israel had the means to, sure. But in practice, Israel couldn't really do that without disastrous consequences to itself, could it? Having protection and support from major powers, like the UK and USA, has been a lifeline for Israel ever since its creation. If US stopped using its veto power to protect Israel within the UN Security Council, it would have been under heavy sanctions for a very long time now, and its prosperity and perhaps even existence would be under serious question (see [1] and [2]). If US stopped providing military funding and arms support to Israel, it would seriously impede its ability to wage war. If those same powers were not helping its defenses (either directly or via deterrence) against the many enemies it has historically had in the region (it has basically no neighbouring country that it is in good relations with), it is doubtful that it would still have existed to this day. The governments of the countries protecting Israel would not be able to keep doing that if Israel made a move so radical such as large-scale extermination of Palestinians in a post-WW2 world that does not look fondly on genocide. So no, they do not have the means to completely exterminate citizens of Gaza in practice.

And even if Israel had both the means and the freedom to completely exterminate Gazans yet chose not to do it, does NOT committing something so obviously atrocious provide any justification for doing other kinds of atrocities that most people would categorize as less severe? I strongly argue that it does not. To use a silly analogy, someone who stole a significant chunk of your money from you does not deserve praise for not stealing all of it just because they theoretically had the means to. They have still done you injustice, inflicted harm, and deserve condemnation. No one should be free from criticism when they commit acts that deserve criticism.

About your point (1), the reactionary expulsion of jewish citizens of the neighbouring states in the post-Palestinian-ethnic-cleansing-of-48 world [3] is also a tragedy that also deserves condemnation. It is not the current burning issue, however, while Gazans are being bombed and starved to death as we speak, which is why there are so many people talking about Gaza right now and not about that. Nevertheless, I would not want to stop anyone from talking about it, as again, no one should be free from criticism when they commit acts that deserve criticism, and I welcome anyone with time and motivation to open topics about it. This current topic here, however, deserves full attention of its own without whataboutism.

I appreciate that this interpretation is juxtaposed next to another interpretation calling it a stupid move because unused cars disintegrate and depreciate in value quickly.

I’ve always heard a car immediately drops in value after it’s driven off the dealer’s lot, and then loses 15% in value each year after. I’m guessing they lost more than they would have if they didn’t stockpile and instead switched to a newer vehicle with lower fuel and maintenance costs.

I had a virtual care plan from Kaiser Permanente. What I liked:

- you can email a photo to the dermatologist and get a diagnosis for free. I used this for moles and rashes. Saved me a visit and $$

- you can email the doctor for free and chat with a nurse for free and if they refer you for labs or vaccines you just go directly to the lab and get your results online. No time with doctor required.

I am young and have no major health issues. I found this a drastic improvement over going to see a doctor in person, being told to take Tylenol + rest then getting a $700 bill for that advice.
If the contents of your computer is anything like the contents of most old people's attics, there is a good chance your descendants really don't want to go through all of it. They'll just chuck it in the trash without even opening it.

Anecdotally, though, it seemed like a lot of healthcare providers at the time moved to having better online appointment systems and remote visits, which made scheduling a lot easier for me. Probably a heavily YMMV situation though.

> but many shops still have you log into the same "box" to do your development

It is very common to have separate LPARs for production, test and development, even if all three are running on the same physical hardware - the isolation is strong enough that it is rare for something running in one LPAR to cause a problem in another.

The largest shops will have physically separate mainframes for production and non-production.

During my time working as a systems integration consultant in the financial services sector, I had to do a lott of integration with these core banking systems.

Most of the time you try to reuse existing integration points from previous projects, as negotiating completely new interfaces had a lott of friction, both technical and business/compliance related, and could easily set your project back for more than a year or two.

Integrations are usually delivering structured documents before a certain time in the evening for overnight batch processing. The existing documents with data based on offsets have by design regions of not yet assigned space in them to accomodate future updates and use. You negotiate over the bytes of those that can be assigned to your needs if new info is required.

For data extraction you will sometimes find more 'modern' api's, but do not expect too many fine grained REST stuff. You'll often find yourself in meetings negotiating with regulation and compliance looking for ways to avoid costly new developments.

On a sidenote: I often found compliance people a lott more pragmatic and solution oriented than IT. Having to convince my team that 'the letter' of a regulation did not mean you have to interpret litterally in the most restrictive way possible what is written was often more a challange than getting a deal with compliance.

Now imagine hundreds of projects over many decennia of these strata of integrations, and you will start to get the first glimpse of why replacing these core systems is such a challange.
To anyone interested in how poverty (and scarcity in general) affects our mental state, and thus our ability to function well and improve our lives, I'd highly recommend the book _Scarcity_ by Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir. I've found it quite illuminating and interesting. It's written from an academic perspective, so it has plenty of research behind it, and the narrative flow is not bad.

If you want something more concise and to the point, the article "The Science of Scarcity" [0] in Harvard Magazine provides a pretty good summary of the book.

The themes from the book complement those in the article fairly well.

I'm not sure what your point is here, I looked at the veilance line and the examples I saw had (probable) PFAS synthetics mixed in with natural fibres, eg:

(Note the .AU in URL - I get redirected to .AU being in .AU and not using a proxy)

Ultra-fine Merino wool yarns bring naturally soft comfort and are known for odour resistance, temperature regulation, and moisture management. A nylon core adds durability.

The 'nylon' core is likely treated with highly fluorinated PFAS chemicals to make it waterproof.

Merino wool on it's own is lightly water shedding, especially the ultra fine fibres.

It's all new to me to be honest - more than a decade back I worked with locals here to introduce laser grading on their merino wool sorting and feedback into breeding for finer wool grades, living in an agricultural district a great deal of my clothing comes from local looms and tailors - bolts of cloth for grading not mass markets being used by locals to not lose skills - no nylon or synthetic additives.

> Getting superintelligent AI to understand simple specifications should be a non-issue.

Why would that be the case?

A big part of the worry around AI-alignment is exactly because this seems very hard when you try to do it. We are used to interacting with other humans, who implicitly share almost all our background assumptions when we communicate with them. The same is not the case for a computer program.

E.g. if you're holding a basketball and tell you "throw it to me", you implicitly understand that I mean to throw it:

1. To my hands, or to some area that makes it easy to catch it.

2. Throw it slowly enough that it arrives to me. Not strong enough to hurt me.

3. Not to try to bounce it off of something that will break on the way to me, even if it still arrives to me.

etc.

These are all background assumptions, and I know they're hard to actually specify because smart people have spent twenty years trying to figure out the math to do this and say it's hard.

Also, if you think those are contrived exampled - let's note that the closest thing we have to building an AGI right now is just building software, in general. And I think I won't shock anyone by saying that "getting software to do what you want, without bugs" is... hard. I think there are almost literally no software systems today that don't have bugs in them.
You would need to be able to predict when and where these plumes will take place and then calculate the orbital maneuvers needed to intersect the spacecraft with those plumes. This will be very hard to achieve with a 1+ hour communication delay. Most likely you'll have to rely on some autonomous AI based on some sort of reinforcement learning algorithm. Also, orbital maneuvers that involve changing the orbital plane are very expensive in terms of fuel consumption. So first there will have to be an observation stage to determine which orbital plane is most likely to encounter a plume and then explore various orbit trajectories inside that plane until enough samples are collected.
Yeah, something is wrong with your setup.
While I agree it makes it very hard to test some of these hypotheses, "use it or lose it" is very clearly true of at least some bodily and cognitive capacities. So it's not unfair to posit it could apply to these as well.

If you think quadruped walking is only a bunch of reflexes and human walking isn't, that still doesn't completely negate my point. Primate infants also display significantly more agility than human babies right afer birth, and "learn" to walk significantly faster.

Here [0] is a study for example that finds that the age of walking is 94% predictable for any mammalian species that walks on the ground by a particular ratio between the mass of the infant brain and the adult brain (that is, an infant animal essentially learns to walk when its brain reaches a certain percentage of its final brain size).

Besides this type of animal comparison, another signal we can use to distinguish between built-in capacities and things we learn from experience is to see whether a capacity can be developed later in life. For example, if you lack visual stimuli in the early part of brain development, even if you get it later, you will never develop vision (we know this from studies on kittens...).

According to Wikipedia, the abrupt change occurs at the point when the solar wind's speed decreases into the subsonic range (speed of sound in the interstellar medium is approximately 100km/s and the sun emits the particles that makeup the solar wind at approximately 400km/s). This transition to a subsonic regime causes compression waves to form, and causes the rapid drop off.
Anyone who goes all around talking about one thing that they did back in the 70s the way he does is hard to take seriously. That and anytime he's interviewed on the subject he'll be very clear that 'attempting to do his study anywhere on Earth would be impossible now'. Brings to mind how Jerry Seinfeld would never race anyone after he beat the fast kid decades earlier[0].

It's silly to contrast a narrow restriction on speech like "you can be charged for making statements which constitute harassment" or "this specific product cannot be advertised in certain ways" with a massive restriction on speech like "any website that does not check users' IDs can be blocked at an ISP level if it is found to have content on it which is not appropriate for children."

If you like free speech, am I "free" to "speak" loud screams directly into your ear? Am I free to speak lies to you about the safety features in my airplane, when you're buying tickets? Free speech absolutism is a childish position; what crosses a line is subjective.

I think any reasonable person would agree that this internet blocking regime crosses a line and unfairly stifles people's ability to communicate. Not every public space should be obliged to be child-appropriate; obscenity laws are best left in the 20th century.
Now you can turn circle jerking into a game! Great work, op.
Why haven't you asked why I have recast "nazi" into meaning

>A person who is perceived to be authoritarian, autocratic, or inflexible; one who seeks to impose his or her views upon others[0]?

I am not working to recast anything. You conflated a moral argument that one should not use words that reference Nazism in any way with a factual evaluation of the meaning of the word necessarily being the object of that reference. Had you said "the usage of 'brownshirt' to mean 'one who abuses power' is not considered appropriate" that would be a different matter. What you said, however, is factually wrong; there is no equivalence being made between Nazism and "content moderation." That is to say, you should have said that the second definition is not appropriate, instead of denying it's existence to then change the meaning of the sentence such that it is then equating content moderation on private platforms with Nazism. Unless by "equating" you meant "to make comparable" where "comparable" means "an examination of two or more items to establish similarities and dissimilarities." I should mention that Oxford does not have "comparable" in "equating" and the definition of comparable above is almost certainly not what is meant by "equating" in any event.

I personally have never used "brownshirt" to mean "authoritarian." My motivation for my initial post was to show you with a simple double-meaning comment that words can have multiple meanings.

I didn't see this comment until now, and tmnvix already said it, but I'd like to add some appreciation. It's dismayingly rare to see someone check their view against the data, change their mind, and say so. I guess it's not hard to understand why that is, but it's worth celebrating when someone goes the other way. I wish more of us would.
I just mean that people will be cheap and complain endlessly about small trivial things that they use all the time (like YouTube, or Netflix, or an IDE) rather than paying for it. And those things are like $20/mo and have an immediately visible benefit.

Meanwhile, a doctor's visit can cost anywhere from $50/visit (with good insurance and a copay) to hundreds of dollars, more for special procedures, and more for prescriptions, etc. Much of the time you walk away with the problem not really solved, requiring multiple referrals and specialist visits. It's really easy to want to put it off till later, especially when money's tight. Yes, the situation gets worse over time, but it's one of the easiest things to procrastinate on.

It's part of the reason I hate for-profit healthcare... it discourages routine preventative care that could help a lot of people and prevent more expensive treatments later, instead of just making them put it off until an ER visit is needed.

Making people pay for their healthcare like this just means few people are going to use it routinely, instead waiting for their condition to worsen and fester. Especially teeth, yeesh, where even good insurance doesn't get you much.

I agree with your attitudes towards Python completely -- I'm a competent coder with a decade of experience, but find Python inscrutible for programs longer than 100 lines.

I would ask you to consider first: are there other efforts that you can join before deciding to strike out on your own? You are far from the first person to dislike Python, and there is very interesting work happening in the Elixir community around creating a viable alternative to Python for AI and Machine Learning. They are very capable folks, and I think spending some time looking at their work, what they're working on and why will do you well. There are also efforts in the Swift and Julia communities, but I'm personally less excited about those.
