I loved 'The Jesus Incident' [0], which he co-authored with Bill Ransom - when I read it as a teenager in the 80s, it felt so 'adult' compared to a lot of the other science fiction I had read to that point.

I later read the prequel and did not like it. I never read the third book in the trilogy.

Related to that, I recently learned about safe-rm which lets you configure files and directories that can't be deleted.

This probably would have prevented a stressful incident 3 weeks ago.
I am not sure what can be classified as monopoly as it's pretty subjective. Is Tesla a monopoly in EV Cars ( or cars in general). I used to kinda anti apple but realized that post switching to iPhone 5, never went back tbh. Same with Mac and iPAD. It's certainly a better ecosystem but that's what MOAT is. Companies spend $$$ to build the MOAT. If a company can build a better product, they deserve to be on top.

I however have another issue with Apple with Apple Package. They discourage smaller carriers to work with them. To explain further - Apple don't allow iMessage, FaceTime, Visual Voice mail if you don't commit to buying a specific amount of devices. This kills smaller businesses. It's like Coca Cola not selling you their product if you're not walmart. You'll not become Walmart till you sell products but you're not allowed to get access to products that big retailers have. I think the case is positioned in a way that Apple should win
The majority of people cant handle coca cola and mcdonalds, cocaine is the least of problems

Mostly, they don't. Most people don't even want to move far from their place of birth.

The fact is millions of people take illegal drugs every day, anyone who wants them, anywhere in the world can get hold of them, pretty much at any time.

The way drugs are produced and distributed causes harm to communities all along the path from production to people who use them. The level of danger that being illegal has caused whole sections of society cannot be overstated.

If criminalising all this stuff hadn’t worked over the last hundred odd years maybe it is time for a different approach?

The question is what does it look like?

It won’t ever be stopped so what comes next?

With respect, this does not sound rooted in factual basis. Anyone who has taken physiology and been educated in anesthesia knows that there are numerous factors and feedback loops that decouple your theory of a direct link between ambient pCO2 and "vasopressin levels".

I'd like to hear a more detailed explanation on how you feel it overrides compensatory mechanisms in ventilation, with subsequent breakdown in metabolic compensation of acidemia, and how you override negative feedback loops in the RAAS system including inhibition of ANP excretion, unless you theorize it is blunted at the renal level and natriuresis becomes down regulated in this scenario.

Or basically if you want to reframe how everyone sitting in a house has subclinical SIADH I would be eager to hear a more detailed explanation.
It's always interesting to see new approaches but I don't see this replacing Vagrant for my projects any time soon:

- Vagrant already supports VM or Container environments, and has a well defined system for building and distributing "base" boxes;

- Vagrant uses a Ruby file to define the environment, so it's much more powerful than a Yet Another Migraine Looming file.
> not Cloudflare's job to be playing morality police

It is almost certainly cloudflares policy that they will not make judgements like this. They will just take down any content if someone complains about it.

Think about it - if they paid an employee to look at the content to decide legal/not legal, they would be exposing that employee to CSAM. That's illegal and they'd get sued for it.

Which is why they probably have no human involvement in the decision-making, and lots of legal things are taken down as a result.

There are two parts to “writing a Devin”.

1) a pretty user interface, a backend service layer, all the normal things you’d need for a desktop app or saas.

2) a backend that can actually do work.

I’m going to go out a limb here and say, building an MVP of the UI is a waste of your time.

…because, unless you know how to build the backend (ie. part 2), you actually, have no idea what you need to build for part one.

You can copy of the UI from the Devin videos.

You can build your own langchain framework.

You can fine tune an open model on GitHub issues.

…but just like having building a gpt4 is harder than just “add more params”, building something that works like Devin appears to work requires a reasonably sharp “step up” in capability between what literally everyone has been doing with gpt4 until now, and being able to turn that into a useful framework for solving actual engineering tasks.

So… don’t hold your breath. If you see someone building a UI (like this https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin/tree/main/frontend, https://github.com/stitionai/devika/tree/main/ui; just read the commit log, it’s basically just ui) it means they’re doing the easy work (part 1) because they don’t know how to do the hard part (part 2).

…so, interesting, but this doesn’t smell like a really serious effort (at least yet).

I guess you could argue that it’s important “setup infrastructure” stuff that any project starts with… but I’m just sceptical.

I can draw pictures of a Devin too. A serious effort would be trying to replicate what Devin does not what it looks like.

Plus, the 74 houses were all part of the same auction! That's what I gathered at least.

And there are benefits to those houses. He could, for example, pick nicer ones and hire people for security and give them free rent in a house as part of their job. With what he paid, he could even give them a "rent to own" mortgage!

He could include the house, and even just minimum wage. Minimum wage is a livable wage in a very, very economically depressed area (look at what housing costs here!), but at the same time, minimum wage + free housing or rent to own housing is a great wage.

He could start a hacker hostel. Those houses give loads of opportunity.

He just needs to stabilize things a bit. But security would do that. Especially if security = 20 people. He just needs a real business plan, or at least to move towards something.

Another way to look at it is, imagine if he used the house to hire security, maintenance people, groundskeepers, cleaning personelle/janitors, and on and on.

Now, he's a major employer in the area.

Now, those left that are honest? Are actively fighting to protect their jobs!

It seems like the intentional degradation didn't work as intended in the first place and the inaccuracy could be corrected with little effort - at least for someone who had the resources to use it for weapons systems, so it only affected civilian use cases.

Okay, what is it with Swedes min-maxing their way to the top of pop music? How do they do it? Even Pewdiepie is like another case of chasing algorithmic success.
Not necessarily, it might be better to stratify by genre (like buying a separate domain for different product verticals), to make the algorithm think each one is super relevant and specific.

It's quite a lot more involved than such a blanket statement.

This has been ruled in court. See the "Mullholand Drive" case, where a consumer (backed by UFC Que Choisir) sued producer/distributor/whatever for the inability to rip their DVD.

Case was tortuous with back and forths, ultimately Cour de Cassation 28 février 2006 ruled that the use of DRM was legal in consideration of international agreements and so that the case was moot.

Then Cour d'Appel Paris 4 avril 2007 ruled that copie privée is not a right but an exception and that as such it meant that a consumer cannot sue on limitations caused by DRM, but that they can use the exception as a defense should they be accused of copyright infrigement.

DADVSI is more annoying, as it regulates the making, distribution, import, possession in view of selling, lending or renting, of DRM breaking tools, as well as (defined separately) working around DRM is made illegal, irrespective of exceptions.

BUT this only applies to DRM schemes that are deemed effective, which DVD's CSS is not (I seem to recall this has been ruled somewhere), making libdvdcss legal to use and distribute. It is in fact OOTB packaged in VLC, hosted in France, and if it were illegal Videolan would have been sued to oblivion. Arguably MakeMKV decodes BluRays with actual keys, so is arguably not an DRM breaking tool (like libdvdcss is) but merely a decryption tool using a legit process and legit keys, no different than a BluRay player.

One could argue that rendering the file immediately to a screen or to a file is fundamentally different, but these laws take all sorts of considerations like copies in buffers and whatnot (and yes in the debate at some point majors wanted you to pay for the in-memory buffer copies that happens when decoding MP3 which is astoundingly ridiculous). So the decoding process is not DRM breaking and the storage of the decrypted result is not that different from these buffers, except it's a bit longer lived.

But there's one more thing: in addition, the same DADVSI defines that DRM must not prevent interoperability as long as author rights are respected, as well as cannot oppose free usage of the work or protected item in accordance with author rights.

Well, Conseil d'Etat 16 juillet 2008 ruled that usage of FOSS software to work around DRM for interoperability purposes is legal. The pain point is MakeMKV is only partially FOSS but DADVSI says nothing about things being FOSS and I don't think anyone is going to ever get sued for making private copies of their legally owned BuRays for their sole usage in order to play content on a variety of devices and OSes they use and would otherwise be unable to play without being decrypted.

I'm trying to make sense of what this is. I don't get what the unique selling point is. I understand that this is about server hosting. And from context I gather that this is about Rust. It seems that special/custom hardware is involved. And they advocate for buying instead of renting servers. But I can't figure out more than that.

As someone who always tiles windows to maximum screen usage, a tiling window saves me the step of dragging windows to snap points. I open the windows I want and they're already arranged how I would've arranged them manually. In the rare case that I don't want a simple split, the tiling layout has its own window dragging/snapping system that lets me easily make my windows into whatever grid arrangement I want far more easily than doing so with floating windows, as all I have to specific is the relative locations of the windows (left, right, above, below) and a split ratio, all with mouse drag targets similar to iPadOS's split screen.
I often think about a scifi story where after X million years, somehow familiar humanity survives, and two plates containing land with VERY different natural flora and fauna approach each other - for example, california, home of many native plant defenders, and australia. As they get closer than 50 miles, news would start to mention making sure not to cross-transplant animals and plants. Under 20 miles, the wind and storms would do some work already, but people on both sides may still be resisting. But the moment they actually touch for the first time, some great treaty may shimmer into enforceable existence, changing the future of that whole world.

Or else, they'd just build fences, forbid anyone from living on the coast, and maintain this artificial continental boundary forever...?
The trick is to align the metrics with company goals. It's not easy, but not impossible either.

For example, if quality is your goal, then the metric you give your devs is "number and severity of bug reports coming in from customers". If unsatisfied feature requests are part of that number, then the devs have to strike a balance between churning out features and preventing bugs (and fixing discovered ones).

Obviously your customer support needs a different metric.

Yep, most people never heard of Max Martin - another Swede - but probably listed to his songs so many times.

He is doing this straight from 1998 to this day starting with "...Baby One More Time" of Britney Spears. This year he already has 2 songs as #1 on the Billboard HOT 100.

Honestly this is kind of a double edged sword. Allowing all drug use, and legalizing some form of registered and sanctioned trade of it might be better than what we have now, who knows. But at the same time, imagine large companies advertising drugs, targeted drug ads, the highly likely increased recreational consumption and normalization...

I don't think society is fit to handle practically unhindered drug use.
I used to work at NVidia on the design of their tensor cores. As you can imagine, I had to be rather familiar with various kinds of high performance kernels that people are talking about in this thread.

I second the GP: nobody in their right mind would try to compete with the performance or functionality of libraries like cuDNN/ or cuBLAS.

NVidia pays for an army of exceptionally skilled folks to write these high performance kernels, working hand in hand with the architects that design the hardware, and with access to various sophisticated tools and performance models beyond what is available to the general public.

It would be like trying to compete against Olympians, to use an analogy that we can all understand.

They never ruin just their own lives though. I am open to something like letting then parachute on to 'Cocaine Island', never to return.
I am on the fence with this, maybe there should be research to create safer alternatives to the illegal recreational drugs. They are trying to make amphetamines and opioids that are safer and not as recreational for medical purposes. Why not make it safe and try to keep the recreational aspect of it. I am sure this can't ever be achieved 100%, but lots of people would probably rather buy some pure milder stimulant instead of random powder from a street dealer. Same with cannabis, the THC content on legal plants should have a limit on the THC content.

A better way is to build a second image including the debug tools and a root-user, then start it with the prod-containers pid-namespace and network-namespace mounted.

Starting a second container is usually a good idea anyway, since you need to add a lot of extra flags like SYS_PTRACE capability, user 0 and --privileged for debuggers to work.

This way you don't need to restart the prod-container either, potentially loosing reproduction-evidence.

Remembering how to do all this in an emergency may not be entirely obvious. Make sure to try it first and write down the steps in your run books.
