Yes and no.

Yes, correct, this is not the end of FreeBSD.

However, it is the end of TrueNAS Core. Core is the FreeBSD-based edition. It's now in maintenance mode, unless there's a successful fork.

The Linux-based edition is TrueNAS Scale. That's apparently doing great... But the thing is, there are only 2 BSD-based NAS distros I know about: TrueNAS Core and a fork of an older version of it: XigmaNAS. FreeNAS is dead and gone.

There are quite a lot of Linux-based NAS distros:

(It's worth noting that several of these lists conflate non-Linux OSes in with the distros, but the point remains, I think.)

>DM failed to correctly predict the first and second peaks of the power spectrum

I don't know what you mean by this. The peaks are completely explainable by standard LCDM, while MOND without DM totally fails to do so - no matter how much you tune it (see black vs red lines in [1]).

>pretty far from a slam dunk for DM theories

Individually, maybe. But not when you combine everything together. Then MOND is completely hopeless. You will find no paper out there that can reach the same level of predictions as DM. Of course that doesn't mean that there is guaranteed to be no modification to gravity at all. We already know it must be modified in the UV, so it's not impossible that a UV-complete description will bleed down to modified, far IR behaviour. But even if that is the case (and that's a pretty big if right now with the current theory landscape), some form of DM will still be required. And the evidence from the CMB strongly suggests that it will not be a small amount, but pretty much what we expect from original rotation curves and lensing. That's why no serious researcher in the field bothers with modifications of gravity alone, while there are many who focus only on DM.

> Yea, the dosage and labeling for sure needs work. I see 2000 IU doses regularly sold in stores and the bottle says you can take 2/day. Obviously no doctor would recommend that for anyone not sick.

That is simply not true. Doctors do recommend 2000-4000 IU for healthy patients all the time.
The simplest and most comprehensive advice I've seen about ESPP and RSUs is simply to not be influenced by the fact that the value is delivered to you as shares. It's 2024, it's all fungible, selling shares requires a couple clicks and zero fees. Imagine that the value of your ESPP and RSUs was all delivered to you as cash - would you take that cash and invest in your company's stock? If yes, then sure, keep the shares; if not, then make the couple of clicks to sell it and do something else with it.

> Three early efforts are games called “Queens”, “Inference” and “Crossclimb.”

Great. Can't wait to hear recruiters saying "we are highly ranked in crossclimb " as one of the reasons to join their company.(I really wish we can get back to this stage given how the job market is currently).

On the other side, there will be more useless posts about high scores from "leaders" and their followers congratulating them on those achievements.

Most I've been to in the past few years staff so sparsely that they have one maybe two staffed checkouts, even at peak "grab stuff on the way home from work" times. So your choice is to wait in that line for the single checkout, or the self checkout line for the 6-10 self checkout stations.
Insurance is where I'm currently looking to get an unbiased view of the quality of the current (and expected near-future) state of the art for AI.

This suggests that we'll probably be at the right level for cars in 5 years: https://www2.deloitte.com/xe/en/insights/industry/financial-...

My personal best guess is that it will take a further 5-10 years past the point where no-steering-wheel-included self-driving cars are a thing for the electrical power requirements of AI to reduce from something you can fit in a car to something you can fit into an android.

As someone misread me last time I said this, that's not 5-10 years from today, it's 5-10 years gap between two things we don't yet have.

> Being able to blame and fire an individual human for what is really a systemic problem is a huge win for companies.

I disagree. In the UK at least you need public liability insurance for basically all business functions (rent a town hall for an afternoon? They want to see your insurance certificate). Even if those insurance people ultimately sue some individual to recover costs, even if that bankrupts the individual and the court orders their wages garnished for the rest of their lives, it's very easy for someone to cause damages exceeding their lifetime earnings — a single accidental death can cause such damages all by itself, though the most common cause of this, driving, generally doesn't come with such harsh penalties on the human responsible.
Yes, that's a limitation of trying to ensure exact binary reconstruction. Luckily there is also a separate line of work on detecting the compiler version and optimization flags based on a binary – it turns out this is not that hard and it's easy to get a bunch of labeled data for a classifier.

If folks are interested in reading more there's a nice paper by Grammatech on the idea: https://eschulte.github.io/data/bed.pdf (though it's pre-LLM and uses evolutionary algorithms on the initial decompilation to search for a version that recompiles exactly).

It's important to distinguish between the US and Europe, when talking about this.

From a US perspective, the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on energy prices (and hence inflation) was relatively muted.

For Europe, on the other hand, the impact was incredibly large.

Additionally, Ukraine supplied huge amounts of grain to EU farmers for livestock, which put a double impact onto food prices in the year following.

Finally, the money printing during Covid was wildly different in terms of distributional impacts between the US and Europe, so it's relatively unhelpful to talk about global impacts.

I think it works in the sense that I have a greater feeling of clarity in what I want from my life. I've been doing it less than a year though, and I feel like great change accumulates over many years, so it's hard to say if my actions are really that different than if I hadn't been doing this.

Is there a fundamental difference between copy and patch with C and what compilers do when they target intermediate representations? It seems to me that traditional compilation methods are also "copy and patch" but with another intermediate language than C.
Yeah, I meant May. Sorry :-( Too many conferences around that time, I got confused.

That being said, submitting this into the pgconf.eu CfP is a good idea too. It's just that it seems like a nice development topic, and the pgcon unconference was always a great place to discuss this sort of stuff. There are a couple more topics in the JIT area, so having a session or two to talk about those and how to move that forward would be beneficial.
> how would this help with the bites you DO get all over your legs and arms?

Not sure how true it is, but the marketing for the collars we use claims that eventually the chemicals spreads to protect the full body, even if the collar is just around the neck.
If you don’t mind some chemical treatments, a really effective combo is permethrin and picaridin.

Pick a set of outerwear to be your yard work clothing. I’ve got a pair of overalls, a light long sleeve shirt, and a hat. Treat them with permethrin. This doesn’t repel ticks and mosquitos, but can actually incapacitate or kill them on contact.

Tuck your pants in your boots, and sleeves in your gloves if you’re wearing any.

Every time before you go out, spray yourself (particularly any exposed skin) with the picaridin repellent.

I live in the middle of a forest that’s sitting on wetlands. The bugs are out of control here. I haven’t found a tick on me (not in me, on me at all) in years. I also get very, very few mosquito bites.

(If you don’t want to go this crazy… just long pants tucked in and some picaridin repellent before you go out is all my wife does and she’s had similar results, though spends less time outside and less wandering through dense forest and stuff.)
I pack some backup clothes (undershirt, underwear, socks), they mostly stay in my bike bag because I rarely use them. If I do need them, I just go to the bathroom, then change back into the bike clothes for the ride home. If it's really hot, I might switch it up and put the office clothes in the bag from the start - meaning I know I'll need a change.

Really not that complicated.

The War on Informality (2023)
I agree with almost all the points of the author, and I absolutely have seen the benefits of journaling and writing down any future aspirations like a TODO list.

> simply telling people about your future self also helps massively.

However, this is something I’ve found hit or miss. Telling people you know can set expectations, especially if you are passionate about it. You can set the bar incredibly high for yourself and be satisfied with partial success, but you won’t feel as satisfied if you didn’t match up to a friends expectations after hyping it up, even if they are still incredibly supportive of you. In the end, I’d rather show them my actions and results than overhype them with words that shoot for the moon.

We were trying to decide where to live and visiting Paris for Christmas in 2022 was a sheer joy. We ended up in the Netherlands but biking along Rue de Rivoli, the Seine, etc. were a delight for myself and my daughters (we were in a cargo bike) and we hope to return for many visits.

I visited in 2008 and while it was a great city then I definitely wouldn't have been as quick to take kids along for a bike ride.

accept every recruiter that contacts you on LinkedIn the moment you click "available". Don't filter too strongly, just accept everything that won't be a hassle to try the interview at. Then just practice through real interviews.
In my experience the Venn diagram of people who bike as their main transportation source and people who care about hygiene and overall appearance doesn’t overlap very much at all.

I wonder if the view shifts measurably by region/state in the US.

There is definitely a right leaning/religious view that animals are not conscious. And this was the dominant opinion in the US for many decades. When I think back on when I encountered these opinions the most, it was mostly in Midwest and South. When I was living on east coast, there was more opinion's like you are expressing.

Even a few years ago when UK passed laws about squid and lobster. It was right wing pundits that were just howling at how stupid it was since these animals are not conscious.

Guess what we call the 'public', versus what we are exposed to locally, is the real disagreement here.

(I'd say the Turkey thing was a joke, not any indication of sentiment. Probably more a joke about crime, not animals.).
If you are already selfhosting Gitea, it has a nice kanban-style project board view that works similarly.

I never made that claim. I wrote that the ordinance was pushed for largely by drivers. I made no speculation on the proportion of drivers.

Nor have you. You have made the assumption that accepting the terms of employment implies that drivers accept/support the companies position in this conflict. I see no evidence for that.
You cannot become rich (paper first, then actually rich) with debt, you have to pump the stock so when you sell onto bigger fools you do so from a much higher price point.

Also intuitively for many people debt=problems as far as their individual and domestic life is concerned, so they see 200B debt and think "problems within the company" whereas in reality the company without debt might have much more criticalities (like in this case) but they are hidden and not visible on a financial spreadsheet (eg. lack of moat, heavily political product, brand goodwill daily destroyed by CEO etc)

Also the age old saying of finance comes to mind "When you have a 200k debt you have a problem, when you have a 200B debt, the bank has a problem"

Toyota is vitally important to the world's economy, if it disappeared overnight the Quality of Life of the global population would be reduced.

Whereas if Tesla were to disappear overnight nothing would fundamentally change, like when SVB, FTX or Theranos disappeared overnight, the drama was within the media and in the hearts of the "true believers", AKA the fools who saw those companies (and see Tesla) as a bastion of hope, optimisim, idealism and all that religious BS which have nothing to do with the consumption of products to improve one's life.

To put it in financial terms Toyota has graduated to country status, whereas Tesla is still a financial engineering scheme to enrich the owner.

This is the future imagined by A Fire Upon the Deep and its sequel. While less focused on the code being generated by ai, it features seemingly endless amounts of code and programs that can do almost anything but the difficulty is finding the program that works for you and is safe to use.

To some extent... This is already the world we live in. A lot of code is unreadable without a lot of effort or expertise. If all code was open sourced there would almost certainly be code written to do just about anything you'd like it to. The difficulty would be finding that code and customizing it for your use.

If at some point, an employer only needs your avatar (AI-powered or not), one does not need you at all: automation took the position already.

If _you_ need/use a ("clever") avatar of yourself to deduplicate your "performance" (because it's actually not yet a performance at this point) in more meetings, you will be outspent by your avatars engagements, whatever they are.

If the point is to get sort of real time consultations/conversations about each other participants knowledge/skills/etc., through their avatars instead of their real selves, the exchange will have only happened between programs, not between people, so... who would decide what, act on what, and report on what then? with what consequences?

I mean, I have a strong prior that while this may be true, it's also a mix shift effect, in that the countries with independent central banks also have better rule of law, better education systems and were richer than other countries before they introduced independent central banks.
Let’s side step for a moment and talk about mythology. People conceptualize it as like Greek gods, Biblical tales, etc. From a sociological stand point however it is much more broad. We engage with mythology every day, we often just don’t know it. When you receive a bill from your power company, it is myth that the company in question is an entity, that your money has value, or even that you must respond. None of these things are objectively true - a power company is not a real thing after all, just something we all made up and agree upon. Myths exist within groups to allow complex functioning and social harmony. They exist to unify and orient. But they are never real no matter how hard you believe.

Dark matter, I believe, is one such example. It’s a proxy for lack of knowledge, no different than rain spirits being called to water the crops. It orients and aligns, allows people to continue without the weight of the unknown burdening them.

As I stated above, that doesn’t mean fake, or conspiratorial, any more than taxation is a conspiracy to steal your money. These beliefs are just tools we use as humans to lubricate interaction and establish agreed upon norms. Everything from the Law, to Philosophy, to things like Human Rights are mythological. That doesn’t mean they are wrong or immoral, but it doesn’t make them true either. Humans, objectively, only have the rights we communally grant them.

When you drive your car you choose to follow the rules of the road. To do otherwise is both foolish and dangerous. We all agree on them and act in accordance. At any moment though, someone could swerve and kill you - even while you sit in your office or walk down the street. We just tend to not think about that unfortunate truth because of the burden it would entail. That is mythology working.

It’s doesn’t change reality though.
