It's a bit wild, but you can use memfd_create to do things like load libraries or binaries, on a filesystem that has no read/write access and noexec enabled.

I have been meaning to do a blog post about this, since it doesn't seem to be common knowledge.

Originally, I thought of it as a response to a Reddit question: "How can I load a shared library from a .jar directly into memory?"

War being “the continuation of politics by other means” is the most common misreading of Clausewitz out there. This is only one of three aspects of war which he identifies.

The political goal of a war is one part, which the governments are trying to achieve. But once the bullets start flying, there is also the anger, rage, and passions of the people as their relatives come home dead, maimed, or hurt. And finally there is the interplay of chance and luck, which the military leadership has to leverage through skilled command. To Clausewitz, war is a trinity of these things, not “the continuation of politics by other means.”

He does also go into the “cost of the object.” Whereby not every war goal is necessarily worth mobilizing the entire society and fighting an existential fight. And when the cost of achieving the goal exceeds its worth, nations will come to the table and negotiate peace.
I wonder if this system is connected with wired ethernet or wifi. I found that it makes a large difference on my NAS. With a wired link the SoC can't reach a deep sleep state because the ethernet peripheral demands low-latency wakeup from the PCIe root port. This is power management policy that is flowing from the link peer all the way to your CPU! I found that wifi doesn't have this problem, and gives better-than-gigabit performance, sometimes.

Air conditioners are assumed to run for 8 hours per day? With 100% duty cycle? They shouldn't have published without the data. But the concept is good!

I do want to know which appliances make the most sense to update for energy conservation: I only run my microwave for 60 seconds a day and the energy it uses goes into heating food, kinda pointless to update that. But if I had $1000 to update my fridge or my water heater or my dryer, which gives the most bang for the buck? Is there an order of importance that makes sense for most houses? Personally, I'd get out my old Kill-A-Watt and run a study, but I expect someone's already done that. This just isn't it.
In EECS every undergrad does learn a bit of control/systems theory in their sophomore and junior requirements. I loved it but it was mathematically challenging and unfortunately the better background a student already had, the better and the more they got out of the courses. I wish there were a better way, because the result was students eventually got weeded out by an (inhumane, alienating) competitive system, rather than have each student actually learn something well on their own level.
Overcoming My Fear of Contributing to Open Source Software
Such adapters are a dangerous violation of the USB spec.
As someone who (in his careless youth) built a very crude arc lamp, a couple of findings:

1) Such lamps generate a good amount of UV radiation. So wear good UV-blocking eye protection! (discovered 'cause I didn't, in the first few runs).

2) Such lamps produce a good amount of ozone.

3) Some parts of the arc can indeed be very hot. Enough to melt pieces of glass, steel or even nickel.

4) What carbon rods are used matters a lot for how well it works. For example pencil leads had a tendency to 'explode' along their full length. Not fun!

5) Confirmed: it's a light source fascinating to look at.

FYI: I used carbon rods pulled from those big 6V batteries. 'Socketed' in a base of lead. 220V AC with a 1..2kW electric heater in series as current limiter. Peak lighting power around [voltage over arc] = [voltage over series resistor] (so each taking ~110V in my case).

Don't do this, kids. Just don't. It's really dangerous (although I survived long enough to write this post). We have YouTube now.
Good info - will experiment!

It's already performing better on a (n=1) test I tried.

"Talos Principle 2". (Video game sequel) Previously (~5 days ago), Google returned various screenshots etc from the game `The Talos Principle 2`. Kagi returned mostly results from `The Talos Principle (1)`. Now the latest Kagi results are a mix, mostly from 2. So, it does look like it fixed this query.
It prolly started as analytics for the engineers than corporate started seeing $$$ signs.

Peanut oil is used pretty extensively in GA, the state, and I tend to love the flavor it imparts. I'm curious how it sits on the healthiness chart. My gut feeling is that it's somewhere above canola but below avocado.
For 2: we still have a severe labor demand deficit. Software will continue to eat the world. What we are seeing here is corporation shortsightedness and greed.

You can make a killing in a quarter by firing all your workers. You won't be around for the next quarter.

A day of reckoning will come triggered by spectacular failures of big corporations that pawned their future + infusion of cash as the economy "recovers". At that point in time the pendulum will swing and hopefully people will not forget the absurd way they were treated.
> And what's wrong with shell scripts?

When used as configuration? Here are some things that are wrong:

* Configuration forced into a single line makes writing long lines inconvenient (for example, if you want Slurm with Pyxis, and you need to specify the image name -- it will most likely not fit on the screen.

* Oh, and since we mentioning Pyxis -- their image names have pound sign in them, and now you also need to figure out how to escape it, because for some reason if used literally it breaks the comments parser.

* No syntax highlighting (because it's all comments).

* No way to create more complex configuration, i.e. no way to have any types other than strings, no way to have variables, no way to have collections of things.

* No way to reuse configuration (you have to copy it from one job file to another). I honestly don't even know what happens if you try to source a job configuration file from another job configuration.

All in all, it's really hard to imagine a worse configuration format. This sounds like a solution from some sort of a code-golfing competition where the goal was to make it as bad as possible, while still retaining some shreds of functionality.
Why not?

IF that is the case, than an credible election should be a landslide. It would demonstrate commitment to democratic self determination, which I think should be a global baseline.

I have never been to Ukraine, so dont claim a any definitive knowledge of what people do an don't want.

However, I do have immigrant friends from eastern Ukraine with family there with many grievances against the central government, so I believe the real situation is at least complex.
Pending exists to prevent writer starvation: if there's always at least one reader, no one can ever write.

You take pending before exclusive (which should always be possible because you have reserved by then), and you should check pending before taking a shared lock (no need to check exclusive, because they got pending before exclusive).

Shared forces writers to wait;
Reserved prevents new readers from upgrading to write;
Pending prevents new readers from starting;
and exclusive forces everyone else to wait.
Thanks for your response! I do actually suffer from ADHD, though I'm (and was) intentionally unmedicated. Really had to develop my discipline and internal motivation before I could give a good try to math, so I definitely get what you mean. You make a great point about customized education -- I definitely think it would have helped me as an easily-distractable student who struggled to build my mathematical foundation.

If people just want to show things to friends, then they just need a file host. Social networks "just for friends" are a dime a dozen now.

Since most simple "just for friends"-quality platforms aren't thriving, we can assume this assumption is wrong.
Nitpick: JS is multi-paradigm.
Low-code platforms like PowerApps and PowerAutomate are great LEARNING and PROTOTYPING tools.

Give an analyst with some technical acumen PowerApps and ask them to mock up requirements, and after awhile, they can produce a click-through prototype.

That same analyst will likely improve their UI, API, JSON and SQL skills in the meantime.

Low-code tools are also good for digitizing CRUD forms.

Much beyond that and things get very proprietary, very fast.
:(

I’m glad that there are so many written resources though.
With all the shameless plugs in the comments, anyone know of a social media network that focuses on following topics instead of individuals?

I'm talking about reddit back when it was still good. You follow interesting topics, celebrities can have their own topic, but you cannot follow everything an individual user does.

Following everything an individual does is kinda creepy to me, I feel like we've taken a wrong turn there with social media.

As sibling comment states, the title is pretty good clickbait (not an insult). The problem is, the people you're trying to reach are clickbait connoisseurs. You need to hit another level of interest.

"What to do after just asking the customer fails"

"Why I didn't implement your excellent feature request"
Let's say your text is "I like red cats", your current token input is at "I like red". Let's say the model thinks "cats" is 25% likely. It also thinks "dogs" is eg 50% likely for the next token. So rather than storing 1 bit (= log p) to encode dog in the output encoded code, it can use 2 bits to store "cats". Totally lossless. At decode time, you're reading the code, so it's going to just pick the "cats" token anyway, even though it's not the likeliest, because it's not randomly sampling here, it's just using the underlying probabilistic model to do entropy coding. It's not lossy here, since we're not letting the model/sampling process freely choose what the text is made of.
I strongly disagree that calculus isn't useful. Without calculus we would not have self-driving vehicles, autonomous robots, safe and stable aircraft, spacecraft, or many other modern technologies we enjoy today.
That fujitsu part is important. Many mainstream brands do not implement power states correctly, Fujitsu seems to be focused on power consumption quite lot.
What about domain names? Emails are bound to a domain name by definition, and indeed domain name IS designed as a good identity and can be used to host an email. See how domain names are owned by large corporations and trusted since day one and never lost, as long as you keep it carefully. It requires WHOIS information as the authoritative information of domain owner. An account based on username and password is what you usually need to access it, but if you are serious you can always choose a domain registar that is serious about keeping your domain name. It’s not free but it costs nuts compared to the cost of losing it, and let’s not forget that there is a cost behind hosting emails even if it’s given for free.
> I’d agree with this rationale if the author clearly communicated their choice of model and the consequences of that choice upfront. (…) with no mention of 3.5 until the middle of a paragraph of text in the appendix.

You’re moving the goalposts. You went from criticising anyone using 3.5 and writing about it to saying it would’ve been OK if they had mentioned it where you think it’s acceptable. It’s debatable if the information needed to be more prominent; it is not debatable it is present.

> If you simply say “ChatGPT” it’s reasonable to infer that you’re evaluating the best possible version of “ChatGPT”, not the worst.

Alternatively, it you simply say “ChatGPT” it’s reasonable to infer that you’re evaluating the version most people have access to and can “play along” with the author.

> If using GPT4 vs 3.5 would create results so distinct from one another that it would serve to incentivize people to give money to OpenAI

Those are your words, not mine. I argued for the exact opposite.

> Again, if they’re making money off their readers it’s their job to provide them with an accurate representation of the tech.

I agree they should strive to provide accurate information. But I disagree that being paid has anything to do with it, and that their representation of the tech was inaccurate. Incomplete, maybe.

> Regardless, if this “excessive fawning” is truly unwarranted, this would again undermine your statement that using GPT4 would “incentivize others to send money to OpenAI”.

Again, I did not argue that, I argued the opposite. What I meant is that even if you believe that to be true, that still doesn’t mean random third-parties would have any obligation to do it.

> I’ll highlight what another commenter replied to you.

That comment has a reply, by another person, to which I didn’t feel the need to add.

> It seems in this case you’re holding ChatGPT to an arbitrary standard, not to mention one that the majority of humanity, including many of its brightest members, would fail to meet.

Machines and humans are not the same, not judged the same, don’t work the same, are not interpreted the same. Let’s please stop pretending there’s an equivalence.

Here’s a simple example: If someone tells you they can multiply any two numbers in their head and you give them 324543 and 976985, when they reply “317073642855” you’ll take out a calculator to confirm. If you had done the calculation first on a computer, you wouldn’t turn to the nearest human for them to confirm it in their head.

The problem with ChatGPT being wrong and misleading isn’t the information itself, but that people are taking it as correct because that’s what they’re used to and expect from machines. In addition, you don’t know when an answer is bullshit or not. With a human, not only can you catch clues regarding reliability of the information, you learn which human to trust with each information.

Everyone’s standard for ChatGPT, be it absolute omniscience, utter failure, or anything in between, is arbitrary. Comparing it to “the majority of humanity, including many of its brightest members” is certainly not an objective measurable standard.
Another control theorist here. I strongly disagree with your premise of rigor in control. The whole field is ripe with math snobbery and virtually plotted its own funeral to the point of absurdity.

The field's key contribution is in the ideas and the insights it can provide otherwise extremely laborious to obtain. Definitely not in senseless dry exposition of unnecessarily general theorem proof parroting.
a few here and there. i only found one i was willing to swap my stovetop one for this last summer.
For many people Telegram will never be a viable option. It has strong ties to Russia and is being run from Dubai. While maybe it's not big tech (i.e. Silicon Valley), it definitely lacks trust as an entity.
In North America a kettle maxes out at 1500W, because we have 120V power and a standard circuit has 15A breaker (and especially older breakers are only rated for 80% continuous load).

The oven peaks at 3kW, but once it reaches the set temperature it will use much less than this, so it will use less than 3kWh/h. A kettle runs for shorter, but generally it runs full out until your water boils and then you unplug it.
Stacker.news tries to be a new reddit of sorts.
I run a Slack server with about 80 people, maybe a quarter are regularly active. Is that a social network? I’m not on FB, Instagram, X, etc so it feels like my only social network.
I believe that mathematics is not solely about numbers; it’s a much broader field. In fact, starting kids education with concepts like sets, discrete mathematics, and so on, instead of focusing only on numbers, might be more beneficial.

Advanced mathematics, including topics like limits, derivatives, set theory, logic, and discrete math, offers powerful tools to understand and describe everyday life.

While numbers are undoubtedly useful and interesting, the real-world applications of math extend far beyond simple numerical representation. It’s these broader applications that truly demonstrate the value and versatility of mathematics.

I'm very impressed with my N100 mini PC (fits in your palm) that I bought from AliExpress. Takes between 2-8W and uses just a plain old 12V plug-style power supply with a DC barrel. Perfect for Home Assistant and light virtualisation.

Performance is actually better than my quad core i5-6500 mini PC. Definitely no slouch.
I'm not sure a team is defined by individuals who may come and go. Look at professional sports teams that have been around for a long time. None of the people involved in the team today are the same people who were there in the beginning. The people don't define the team.

I expect you will find that service, product, and team all mean approximately the same thing in this context.

I was very much hoping to read in the article that they'd managed to extract some DNA and sequence it. I guess if that was still possible then we'd also be able to know how closely related it is to the other stingarees and rays.
So one thing about air conditioners - these have coefficient of performance greater than 1.

So they will definitely consume less power than a fan for removing a unit of heat from a home. Same with a heat pump vs electric heater. The heat pump uses less energy.

Fans do not remove heat. Fans actually add heat into a home. Unless if the fan is placed by an open window and it pulls in cooler air inside.
How come you think discrete math is too hard to teach? Calculus has definitely been useful to me for understanding how rates and totals relate to eachother, which shows up everywhere -- and also understanding volumes and shapes! It's also the basis of differential equations which underpin all physical processes
I don’t claim it’s an easy problem to solve but it’s the problem at hand.

The biggest barrier is not market dynamics—-you could just build through the demand—-but the political pressure of all those current owners that demand a windfall and will be very unhappy if affordability is achieved.
Can we please stop with the FUD around Arch and poor stability? It's an old meme which will never die, but it has no basis in reality. I've been using Arch on my personal and work laptops for probably 7 years now and the only time it had been a problem has been due to layer 8 issues and doing something stupid. I certainly wouldn't be using it for work if it was unstable.
That's true. Although should be much harder
Flooding and a GPS error greatly reduced the yield...

That is surprising. How would a GPS error affect crop yield? I know about plant hardiness zones, but that's it.
I don't use that, but AFAIK on most existing social networks you can follow tags instead of users.
That average is dragged down by certain positions and also the great number of practice squad players that get pulled up for a game or two. I think to the "average" "good" nfl player, 20 vs 30 million lifetime doesn't make as much difference as being a champion. Probably a great many players would trade some lifetime earnings for a ring. I imagine most nfl players also don't manage their own money, so they are even more inured to the idea of making a couple million more over 3 or 4 years.
I feel like I see a good number of nas builds go by, but rarely are they anywhere as technical. Nice.

The decision made there is from 2013 (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=712740), so it might be worth revisiting.

Could you file a bug report to get the discussion started?
> I think a good CoC should be specific enough that it is actively repulsive to some people. And frankly, the more people who are repulsed by it the better.

I'd say that in this case, the best version is the one that names explicitly people who are allowed and others need not apply.

But then again... It's actually an interesting train of thought. How should I repulse, in one simple sentence, both right-wing and left-wing nutsoes? How can I make sure the result of this repellent is not an empty set?

But then again, maybe only the nuttiest ones should be repelled, and the rest will read the room...

True. The quality of a platform is also based on the quality of the people. And your example is more of the same: perceived opportunities for money or power.

The opinions of developers about low code solutions are not very relevant.

Low/no code solutions exist for when there isn't enough time or budget for a developer created solution, which is to say, pretty much all always. In the real world of business problems, almost nobody has access to a professional developer.
