Reliability for rotaries hasn't been a concern for a long time. Modern apex seals work well and last a reasonably long time. There is a need to stop parroting facts from the 1980s.
Compile all your packages from source would be a start.
Why would it? They have their own fleet management systems; Borg/Tupperware/ECS. I guess for the EKS team you'd say yeah.
how many people in PRISM had such clearance? and how many of them would i trust? precisely zero.
AFAIK I think there is some difficulty in getting turbines to scale down efficiently with a need of a recouperator to maintain a higher core temperature for better efficiency. The recouperator is additionally expensive on top of the already expensive turbine cost.

Having a rotary with a turbo should be able to work better at a lower scale for a pretty cheap production cost.
Do you have a source my friend? I thought Ubuntu was built off of Debian testing or unstable

What's your point?

There's no reason to have a generator that charges the pack in a hurry. It really only needs to cover the maximum sustained average draw - driving up an extended grade at high speed. That's a lot less than 300 hp - it's probably not more than 80 hp or so at most.
The problem with the Wankel is and has always been apex seals. You need to rebuild it at least once during a vehicle lifetime. I would not say it is safe from this fate, even with modern seals and a hybrid application.
On the plus side, if the appeal fails he won't be training Microsoft's AI anymore. :D

Yeah this was my first thought too. Though I think the case against autoconf is already so overwhelming I think anyone still using it is just irredeemable; this isn't going to persuade them.
Here, it's actually fun to respond to your comment in another way, so let's try this out:

Yes, sleep is in fact a prerequisite to planes flying. We have very strict laws about it actually. Most planes are only able to fly because a human (who does sleep) is piloting it.

The drones and other vehicles that can fly without pilots were still programmed by a person (who also needed sleep) FWIW.
What does “destroy performance in the process” mean? Was the performance being destroyed the performance of something that needed to be fast?
I think the larger issue is how Kubernetes often is implemented in organizations - as part of internal developer platforms owned by central teams which on purpose or by accident can end up dictating how development teams should work. I think it's easy for such central teams to fall into the trap of trying to build smart, custom abstractions on top of Kubernetes to simplify things, but over time I believe these types of abstractions run a high risk of slowing down the rest of the org (good abstractions are really hard to come by!) and creating fuzzy responsibility boundaries between central and development teams. As an example, this can affect an organizational structure by (re-)introducing functional silos between development and operations. Can a development team really be fully responsible for what they build if they rely on high-level, custom abstractions that only someone else in the org really understands?

Furthermore, if everything in an org is containerized and runs on Kubernetes, it's really easy to have a strong bias towards containerized workloads, which in turn can affect the kind of systems you build and their architecture.
This seems as if it could be cool, but the board is $350 with a BoM of about 50 bucks. Considering the current nascent state of things, this doesn't really feel like a project on a successful path.

Docker Engine is the name for the compiled binaries, right? The licensing situation for them must be more complicated than suggested by that LICENSE file.
It really isn't. Go and drive a 13BT car. They make almost all their torque by 2500rpm and the curve is flat. They're more torquey than any 4 cylinder I've driven.
The US has backdoored RSA's RNG and thus endangered the security of American companies. It is naive to think that US intelligence agencies will act in the best interest of US citizens or companies.

This company Toyota started a pretty popular line of hybrid gas-electric cars, maybe 20 years ago, called Priuses. I think they sell pretty well. I see a lot of them running as taxis. The new ones can plug in and drive a few miles on the highway on pure electric before starting the gas engine.

The side-port exhaust used in the rx-8 generation RE substantially improved the emissions situation, but the fuel efficiency is still trash by modern ICE standards.

It's been awhile since I gave a damn about wankels (or ICEs in general), but ISTR there being a relatively low limit to achievable static compression ratio due to the fundamental geometry of the swept volume. Modern ICE engines are largely exploiting the combination of direct injection and the high compression ratios it enables to improve their thermal efficiency. Between the relatively low compression ratio and sub-optimal combustion chamber shape and the fact that it migrates around the housing with the power stroke, the wankel is pretty much doomed in a world that cares about efficiency.

disclaimer: I've worked hard to discard all my gearhead knowledge, but went fairly deep down the rx-7 rabbithole in my 20s-30s. Take the above with a big grain of "I may be senile and overconfident in stale once-deep knowledge" salt.
In this case the maintainer is the one who deliberately introduced the backdoor. As Andres Freund puts it deadpan, "Given the apparent upstream involvement I have not reported an upstream bug."

Uhh Japanese internment and Mexican repatriation were genocidal actions. The US only stopped mass stochastic involuntary sterilization of natives in the 1970's. Some still happen to this day.

If you don't know your own country's history why are you speculating on the history of the USSR?
Looking at how many requests to update to the backdoored version have been made, I wonder if the fact that many people (including developers) have been conditioned to essentially accept updates as "always-good" is a huge contributing factor in how easy it is to spread something like this.

The known unknowns can be better than the unknown unknowns.
We're way too global now for this to be more than a tiny extra signal. People move around, families preserve names.

If a smaller company with less compute and data commercializes something before Google which has more compute and data, doesn't that mean they are behind? You don't measure a car race by fuel available in the pit and faster top speed. You measure by who gets to the finish first. It just goes to show that Google has a horrible driver.
yeah someone replied to one of my comments about adding MFA that an attacker can get around all that simply by buying the account from the author. I was way too narrowly focused on the technical aspects and was completely blind to other avenues like social engineering, etc.

All very fair points.
Both of my daughters would have given their right arms for one of these if they'd existed when they were kids. I suspect my kids aren't unique in this.

On the other hand, there's no way I'd have allowed them to have one, out of safety concerns.

In the wider marketplace, I wonder which force would win out?
Yeah terrible idea. Either you should commit the output of autoconf (and enforce keeping it up to date via CI), or much much better - stop using autoconf! It belongs in the 90s!

See this is interesting to me. For daycare to become free to parents, ideally governments would subsidize it to 100%. That money comes from somewhere, so probably taxpayer dollars.

So you are still paying for it, just slightly more indirectly.

So, would you rather pay a lot for childcare all at once when you need it (for 5 years per kid), or pay a little via taxes forever?
That is speculation and has never been confirmed.
One involves making unauthorized access, the other does not.
Also the "there are no secrets" angle is pretty dependent on the FTL too.

I think everyone's entitled to their opinion here. As for me, though: my brother died at 10 years old (back in the 90s). While there are some home videos with him talking, it's never for more than a few seconds at a time.

Maybe a decade ago, I came across a cassette tape that he had used to record himself reading from a book for school - several minutes in duration.

It was incredibly surprising to me how much he sounded like my older brother. It was a very emotional experience, but personally, I can't imagine using that recording to bootstrap a model whereby I could produce more of his "voice".
So, he consistently delivered higher returns than the market, but didn't grow as fast as the 2 fastest companies?
> The USSR was never institutionally racist.

I think you are misusing “institutionally” and mean something more like “openly” or “explicitly”, because everything you cite in support of this describes rather than refutes institutional racism.
On the other hand, it also means that your distro can supply a microarchitecture-specific libc and every program automatically gets the memcpy improvements. (Well, except for the golang/rust people.)

Wasn't this the point of Gentoo, back in the day? It was more about instruction scheduling and register allocation differences, but your system would be built with everything optimized for your uarch.
> Some workers want to be baby fed information and don't want to go out of the way to learn something beyond their narrow scope.

And I think the entire world would be better off not catering to those people. Those are the people that make the rest of our jobs harder because they're so lazy. I don't care what they want. I want them to pull their weight or be fired. I have no desire to help them coast.
In both the '1-bit Model' and '2-bit Model' tables, the forward time (sec) for Llama2-7B with FP16 (full precision) is 0.1 s, whereas it's ~0.231, ~0.257, ~0.353 s respectively for HQQ (1-bit) / HQQ+ (1-bit) / Quip# (2-bit) meaning the FP16 model has ~3x lower inference time.

On the contrary, in the BitNet b1.56 paper [0] the authors report their 7b model has 2.9x reduced inference latency.

It's not clear to me what's happening here. Can someone explain why the 1/2bit HQQ/HQQ+ models are so much slower than the BitNet b1.56 models?

Given the details from another comment [1], it sounds like both maintainers are suspicious. Lasse's behavior has changed recently, and he's been pushing to get Jia Tan's changes into the Linux kernel. It's possible both accounts aren't even run by the original Lasse Collin and Jia Tan anymore.

Edit: Also, Github has suspended both accounts. Perhaps they know something we don't.

> Uhh Japanese internment and Mexican repatriation were genocidal actions

No, they weren't, “genocide" has a meaning, and neither of those fit it; it doesn't just mean “bad”. (OTOH, you ar every much correct that the Native American genocide continued in the period in question.)
It's another case of that "yes, it sucks. But the alternatives just plain don't work, or work in WAY fewer circumstances".

Please expand on this.
Still.. At this point the default assumption should be every commit is a vulnerability or facilitating a potential vulnerability.

For example, change from safe_fprintf to fprintf. It would be appropriate that every commit should be reviewed and either tweaked or re-written to ensure the task is being done in the safest way and doesn't have anything that is "off" or introducing a deviation from the way that codebase standardly goes about tasks within functions.
I think about this a lot, but my thoughts always go to aging. As long as my mind and fingers still work, I can work on a computer until I’m old and gray. The physical requirements are minimal.

Could you shadow your neighbor (or someone else in the trade you be interested in) for a few days to get a better idea of the realities of the job and if you’d enjoy it? Also, pay attention to their frustrations and issues and ask if they have similar feelings, wishing they had a job like yours (the grass is always greener…). I think no matter that the job, if it’s a break from the norm, it will feel nice at first.

Much like Office Space, I spent a few months doing demo work in addition to my normal IT job. I was working 90 hour weeks, was having a great time, and look back on that time fondly. However, I’m not sure I’d have the same view of it after 10 years, if it was my main job. I was a tourist, I didn’t live there, and I could stop whenever I wanted.
Well said.

Wow, people suck. I almost hope it's fake profiles urging the maintainer to take on a new member as a long con. Because I sincerely hope Jigar Kumar is not a real person behaving like that towards volunteers working for free.
Hardly ridiculous.

You say that as if members of US government agencies didn't plot terror attacks on Americans (Operation Northwood), steal the medical records of American whistleblowers (Ellsberg), had to be prevented from assassinating American journalists (Gordon Liddy, on Jack Anderson), collude to assassinate American political activists (Fred Hampton), spy on presidential candidates (Watergate), sell weapons to countries who'd allegedly supported groups who'd launched suicide bombing attacks on American soldiers (Iran-Contra), allow drug smugglers to flood the USA with cocaine so that they could supply illegal guns to terrorists abroad on their return trip (Iran-Contra again) and get caught conducting illegal mass-surveillance on American people as a whole (Snowden). Among others.

It's super-naive to suggest that government agencies wouldn't act against the interest of American citizens and companies because there might be consequences if they were caught. Most of the instances above actually were instances where the perpetrators did get caught, which is why we know about them.
