This whole article is terribly confusing. Take this paragraph for example:

Now, your process might depend on other system resources like input and output; as this event is also a process, it also has a file descriptor, which will be attached to your process in the file descriptor table.

What event? Are input and output an event? Why is this event its own process? Input and output are not a process are they?

Also, does a process have its own file descriptor table? That was never mentioned before and this reads like it is already known.

This sort of stuff goes on in my head throughout the entire article...

It's also still unclear to me what happens if multiple processes try to access the same file. Do file descriptors help to lock files during writing?

I can relate this with a friend's experience.

I got him a job at our company, he got very good feedback from his manager for 3 months, and then, suddenly, they fired him because he was not fulfilling the expectation, even tho he had been praised for exceeding them some weeks ago.

Of course he took it personally, because they were saying that HE is not good enough.

One week later they announced massive layoffs and then we understood that it was because of this upcoming layoffs that he got fired, which is very unfair, because they blamed him (and made him feel guilty) when the company already knew the _real_ reason to fire him.
This is silly. It's not like OpenAI is going to find your family's contact info, then personally contact them and show them what you've been talking about with ChatGPT. It's just like another post here comparing this to writing a post on /r/relationshipadvice with very personal relationship details: the family members are extremely unlikely to ever see that post, the post is under a pseudonym (and probably a throwaway too), and the likelihood that someone is going to figure out the identity of the poster and seek out their family members to show the post to them is astronomical.

If building new products is trivial you’re most of the way there! I suggest you monetize that process. It will rake in the money.

I definitely have both inner speech and inner voice in the ways you're using them, but when I write I don't verbalize things and then write down what I verbalize.

Consider that you've created an infinite regress problem. One might just as well as how inner speech is possible without preceding inner speech - clearly it must be possible for speech, whether inner, outer, oral or written to be formed from a non-verbal antecedent some way or other.

If you accept that, then there's no particular reason to think that it must be inherently necessary for writing to have a verbal antecedent rather than "hooking right into" the same non-verbal antecedent.

The way they described it was more akin to mentally "grabbing" it. Like they would be able to place imaginary things they grabbed from somewhere else in a real physical space accurately.
They really don't suck. The Tesla UI is the best I've ever used in why car. They're unfamiliar to you.

The seat memory does remember. Not just for the physical key, but for your phone. You do nothing. If my wife gets in the car, it sets up the car for her. If I do, it sets it up for me. Neither of us touch anything, it's automatic depending on where our phones are.

The steering buttons aren't labeled for a reason! Because you can remap them. Which is awesome, because I can set them up exactly how I like them. I can put all the functionality you mentioned on the steering buttons.

It doesn't need an idrive button. It has voice. I don't look at the car to navigate. I tell it what I want. Same with other non critical functions.

It needs zero phone interactions. I walk to the car and open the door. That's it. I don't look at the phone. Don't wait. It just works. For every door and the trunk. You just never think about it.

The Tesla does all the things you listed vastly better. You just haven't learned to set them up and use them.
to be fair, it's possible that I also experience this from time to time. Since it's an old laptop, sometimes things are slow and I have to wait a bit for intelligence to initialise and cache results.

I share the view that nobody avoids an exit or migration because of egress fees. In fact, for online migrations the period of replicating data between providers might go on for months.

But all cloud providers leverage The Principle of data locality or data gravity, which states that compute benefits from being close to the stored data. If a customer moves the data elsewhere it follows that the compute will soon leave too.
I does work for me, but more people seem to experience that problem:

Git commits also rely on hashes, so there isn't a huge mismatch.

The main issue is that each commit would become a separate torrent, so you'd need some abstraction on top to clone a whole repository (you'd need to download all the torrent-commits).

OTOH, when updating a repository you'd only pull new commits (just like other transports). I've toyed with the idea in the past, but it's a substantial amount of work.
It isn't, unfortunately. Thanks for looking, though. The presentation I had was a powerpoint that focussed entirely on the disassembly and anti-debugging tricks, nothing about networking or traffic analysis.
Am I correct in assuming these kind of problems are not possible if you are using a major cloud provider instead of renting rack space?
I kept waiting for their findings but halfway through it's just a bunch of self-gratifying talk and deflecting talking about why they think it's important - I read for two solid minutes without them getting to any hard numbers or findings.
If it isn't only a rich people thing, then how do people amass hundreds of millions and even billions in Roth IRA accounts? Those numbers far exceed, by many orders of magnitude, the contribution limits and assumptions of 10% growth over decades.
I can imagine these sounds but they don't have any audio texture - no volume, no tone. At the same time, if I imagine a large bell and a small bell ringing then there is a difference but its like reading "BONG!" and "ting" (which for me also has no audio).

Can you sing in your mind? I can represent the words and I can recall the tune so I can represent the words at the correct pace to match the tune but there is no audio so it's a bit like subtitles.
You are probably correct in assuming these kinds of problems are not possible given enough $$$
I would love to hear your suggestion of an alternative free platform that can be used to run python programs on a schedule with.
I guess you should probably take it up with Prof Stephen Rostain, director of investigation at the National Centre for Scientific Research in France, who led the research - and who the BBC quotes directly, rather that giving the journalist a kicking.

If the Prof says he was warned against this research at the start of his career because scientists believed no ancient groups had lived in the Amazon. Then this is clearly an interesting new angle. Sorry that you found it too "woke".
It seems to me that amazon (and many others) do not comprehend that twitch streams are primarily advertisements. People voluntarily pay cash to watch voluntarily created advertisements in the form of someone playing a video game (the product that is being advertised).

Trying to inject shorter advertisements by pausing the longer advertisements makes no sense at all -- it reminds me of the "Malkovich Malkovich" scene from the movie Being John Malkovich. It makes unhappy customers (viewers and streamers) as well as distracts from the primary business.
I mean in my case I wouldn't broadly recommend my approach: I bought these https://www.zemismart.com/products/zm25tq-2-25 and then chip-swapped them with ESP8266s. That's definitely not a casual thing but...

What I'm most happy about is how I got them hardwired - I notched my cornice and slid an archetrave (narrow) light switch up into the cornice on a mounting block, caulked around it, and then ran a thin bit of surface conduit down to another slim junction box next to the blind. You can "see" that the power is there, but it blends nicely and means the blinds are powered off my lighting circuit - no batteries to worry about, and a shutoff in the room if I ever change out the motors.

Motor-wise I'm happy so far - the limits work, and it's been set and forget with Home Assistant driving them through ESPHome. Unfortunately the motor is a Realtak-based chip, not Beken, so no Tuya-cloudcutter exploit exists to get ESPHome on their wirelessly. If I was doing it again from scratch I'd try and find something easier to de-cloud. As it is since I know the motors fit and know how to open them up, we've got a bunch more we're planning to do since we have some really big windows we'd need multiple blinds to cover, and we just never considered it practical till we did this.

EDIT: Basically it's a home automation upgrade I've been incredibly happy with the outcome for, but man if Tuya would let go of the lock-in aspirations then it would become dead-easy to recommend to people.

Also the incentives set by tier ones are completely wrong for the DDoS problem to be solved.

Instead of finding ways to isolate and blackhole the offending networks - granted that refining this data into small enough ranges would be quite difficult - they instead punish the targets, who are already suffering to begin with. This is mobster mentality.

You can bet that if random ISPs ranges would get blackholed when there are missbehaving clients, they would instantly come up with ways to detect and mitigate excessive traffic, net neutrality be damned.
Someone who drinks must be discussed if you're designing a study about the effects of alcohol. The reason is irrelevant.

One can, for example, imagine a world where a culture of covert hidden drinking in specific Muslim countries gives the proposed benefits of moderate drinking to some of the population. A study that assumed no Muslims drank would thus be flawed because it would include a group that actually was drinking all along.
When I originally wrote the LGPL (v1, back around 1991) we could not imagine anything like an App Store or signed binaries. Dynamic linking provided an easy way for users to upgrade the library code.

Since the user doesn’t have the freedom to update the libs on ios etc I don’t see how you could deploy LGPL code on those platforms; since one of the points of using unity is its cross-platform support, that suggests you’d have to find another library unless you were only deploying on real OSes.

But is that Unity’s problem?
> Every damn thing needs an app (and an account and registration - fun if you don't actually live in the country in question). Seriously just put up a charger and a contactless payment reader. Imagine if every petrol pump needed an app to start? May as well go back to having to put pound coins in a meter...

This actually isn't true. It is law in the UK that every public charger must have a contactless reader on it. Many of them have apps but you don't need to use them.

Your point about the price is very valid though. With the exception of Tesla Superchargers they are extremely expensive. For some reason Supercharger prices range from 12-35p. The Supercharger network in the UK is pretty good, but driving anything other than a Tesla is a nightmare.
You're proposing to replace the non-MAX 737s with Airbus, but I think it would make a lot more sense to replace the 737 MAXs with Airbus. That way, nothing gets grounded.

This feels like a good average globally, right? You have multiple staff per room (hopefully!) + admin staff + cook who need to pay their own rent+spending, then add the costs+mintenance of the daycare itself. Unless government-subsidised, I'd expect the daycare costs to be in the same ballpark as the local rent.

I didn't learn anything useful or interesting from your post, and I'm not getting that time back.
Sorry, why can this not be a coincidence? I understand that the universe is smooth across large spaces similar to how a fog is smooth on larger spaces, and coarse on smaller ones.

But even then, given a large universe, why would this be mathematically impossible? If galaxies formed evenly everywhere, couldn't this have happened by coincidence? Which theory is violated here?

How so? Their statement was that not that VideoLAN does not need money, the statement was they do not depend on the Unity store to get enough money.
Nobody claimed non profit means working for free or even went into that direction.
The statement "They did not _depend_ on Unity." is not equivalent of saying "The Red Cross don't need money, they're a non profit!". Or which statement did you refer to?

Please be less enraged and try to understand the arguments of others in discussions.

> megalomaniacs tend to be frauds

Eeeh. Scott Aaronson review [0] and Cosma Shali's review [1] of NKS kinds of points to this direction, so he may well be a fraud. The plagiarism case regarding rule 110 (and attempts to hide this through NDA and lawsuits [2]) doesn't do him any favors, either. Indeed maybe the biggest problem of Wolfram isn't the megalomany per se, but the total unwillingness to give credit to others and cite their damn papers. Wolfram simply isn't in the business of sharing his bibliography, which is problematic for a scientist.

However, the newer Wolfram Physics [3] [4] looks so damn promising that I'm willing to entertain possible quackery. I mean it surely has many ideas regarding how a digital universe would look like; he may be all wrong in the details but his ideas look important contributions to me. I sometimes think what's like to be at the frontier of science; today we take relativity (for example) for granted but there was a time when it was up in the air. When I read Wolfram's stuff stuff I just think this could very well be true, and while there's absolutely no evidence for it the conjectures all make sense.

It isn't about experience in your career as much as just being marketable.

What is the motivation of ddos attacks, in general? I assume it comes with some risk of being criminally prosecuted, so there must be some upside. Is it shakedown attempts, or competitor's sabotage? Neither seems too plausible in this case.
perhaps it is possible. modern c++ is quite different from the previous incarnations of c++ but when you are writing kernel code.. you have in a space where a lot of stuff is not available : you are running in the kernel context. the userland part is waiting for you to give control back, so your code must be fast, do the required job, and be predictible. we cannot have a line of code that will, sometimes, create a huge cpu or memory load because a lot of stuff is going to happen behind it. that's why C is so effective... the kernel context is not a place where you can have garbage collection or classes-stuff that will happen when you're supposed to get control back to userland as quickly as possible.
There's a huge fucking difference between "yo, the neighbourhood and country is unsafe and there is no strongly upheld norm here of people not seeing if they can enter someone else's house if their door is easily unlockable. You must be new here since I noticed your door is pretty insecure, I recommend you do x,y and z if you are to live here safely. Take care." Versus "yo, I just entered your home and snooped around since it was easy to lockpick. There are actually strong norms here of people not doing this so I know this is quite the social violation and something like this had a very low probability of happening otherwise but, you know, your door is weak so it was my right to enter. You should fix it btw"

The internet is like the former not the latter and taking a moral high ground stance that it just should be otherwise is just screaming underwater while doing nothing to actually protect yourself from an actual real threat.

I'd be very thankful if I moved to some place I'm unfamiliar with where people lockpicking is just a cultural norm and someone warned me I should get a better door.
