Because of the existence of gzip, zlib, bzip2, and many others, it's trivial to drop xz.

So yeah, why not get rid of xz completely?
You can call it what you like but I’ve had plenty of hypothetical conversations with people and we never accused each other of lying. I think you are assuming that I treat GPT like an oracle rather than as a sci-fi author tripping on acid.

I’m not going to submit a paper to a scientific journal treating the information as a fact but this is a public discussion forum on the Internet, so I’m happy to speculate in the open using the hallucinations of an algorithm if they seem interesting.

It gets really hard in accelerated computing, where there are a number of stories that are kinda ok (vanilla virtualenv with some hand-rolled special casing can get you like, off the ground, conda/miniconda are workable in some scenarios, Poetry can kinda do it), but it just gets really, really hard if performance matters.

pip’s depset builder is also non-deterministic up to its stated capabilities: at the stated capabilities dependency resolution is IIRC exactly NP-hard, it’s in that “you’re using a SAT solver but it will usually be fine” neck of the woods which is why more modern stuff (including I think apt and other Debian-adjacent stuff) use solvers now. You can limit the use of version ranges, you can pin like Bazel does with depsets (usually). This is why running pip repeatedly often solves the problem: you rolled a better character and/or it was hinted by a previous run.

Docker and friends can help but you get the usual Docker headaches, especially with qemu in the mix. I find OrbStack is just a strictly better option everywhere I’ve tried it, but docker over emulation/virtualization is rarely any kind of fun in the presence of accelerators.

So, I want to run an LLM or SD or some other now common thing, but I’ve got an NVIDIA box on x86_64-linux and a Mac on aarch64-darwin. What do I do? That sounds reasonable right?

Good luck. I went the whole way with Nix last time, and it solved lots of other problems (and in that world, problems stay solved until you are compelled to do a non-trivial update), but Python was still a nightmare.

This time I’m trying flox: and so far it’s been friggin awesome. It’s a little rough here and there for advanced users, but flox install pip, pip install torch/etc, and go? That works. On like, 7 os/cpu/accelerator combinations I’ve tried.

It probably sounds like I’m on their payroll but I’m legitimately just a very, very happy user who posts on HN in between excellent interactions with my bedrock env tool now. I hang out in their Slack but I don’t work there.

No, not unless Nvidia is thinking about financial suicide. The current split between "pro" and "consumer" isn't because it was impossible to avoid, it's because Nvidia is doing market segmentation in order to extract more money from the pro segment.
I imagine another reason why rice specifically is the physics behind it. Water has a property where it won't get hotter than it's boiling point while it's boiling.

The way they cook rice is: put rice and water in a pot, boil water until there's no water left, take it off the heat. Because of that property, making a rice maker is extremely cheap. It's just a heating element and a thermostat that switches the element off when the temperature is 101 degrees C (because while there's water, it will only ever be 100 degrees C).

The EU realised this like a decade ago, and have had a couple of programs around it that have been small steps in the right direction, but not enough - such as EU funder bug bounty programs, giving grants, mandates that the EU should use specific open source tooling for specific needs (e.g. VLC).
If it runs TS "the same way" it runs JS then how is that different to what I described? It would be a JS engine that strips the types before execution.

There is a persistent fantastical hope that TS can somehow be a compiled language. It can't, not without breaking compatibility with JS. Until, of course, someone manages to compile JS - but at that point TS would be irrelevant.

I say this as someone who loves TS and wouldn't want to be without it: TS is a fancy linter. JS defines the execution semantics of the language.

This doesn't account for the fact that Gelsinger kicked off IDM 2.0 in 2021 and is this far in the hole already and the investments chosen have put them further behind TSMC before they even get started.

Gelsinger is trying to do too much in too short of a timeframe creating disarray at Intel, just like he left in his wake at VMware. I'm not sure that he has the landscape vision that's required in this market. I think he's likely better cut out in a more CTO type role at Intel rather than being at the helm.

And even if Intel is on a better long term path, Gelsinger didn't see the short term hurdles as he should have. These are the American taxpayer dollars being wasted in high executive pay and corporate greed under his leadership. Gelsinger should be held better accountable if Intel is looking for more handouts [0].

Okay, sure, but rather than trying to solve a problem by throwing money at it (or worse, trying to solve it with government intervention), maybe it's better to think of other mitigations.

For example, maybe developers need to be made aware of potential psyops by attackers (the publicity surrounding this issue probably made some progress on that front).

Yes IMO. It might be more rigorous to say: before 2016 there were always a handful of teams priced at 5000-1, after 2016 there were not. The league didn't objectively get more competitive.

The term 'Open Source' is well-defined and includes licenses like the one redict picked (LGPL 3.0). It is incorrect to try and lump this in with source-available licenses that are IMO anathema to Open Source.

> All that our post-Christian society has delivered so far is confusion, a mental health crisis in the young and the culture wars.

I don't think we're far enough past Christian society in Britain to blame atheists/agnostics for these issues. In fact, we could posit they are a sign of the times changing.

Confusion because people are moving away from ancient beliefs to unproven modern ones. People are having to find their way instead of rely on old superstitions.

Mental Health crisis because we have more awareness of issues and because the old ways are totally inappropriate for modern problems. In the same way a Modern Theist is different to an Old one, we al have to adapt to the way the world is changing.

And Culture Wars, in large part because society is now far more split between theism and atheism than it ever used to be. There are plenty of other aspects to modern identity politics too though, it's not all religion vs secularism.
What is Going on With Shipping? has a good video on 'who pays':

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wim-_Q_59o&t=10m17s

TL; DR: it can get complicated.

There is the owner of the vessel, the operator of the vessel, and the 'customer' of the vessel. An analogy used: when you have a delivery from Amazon, Amazon would be the 'customer' of the vessel, the delivery guy would be operator of the vessel, and he would have rented a vessel/vehicle from (e.g.) U-Haul. You would think that you'd sue the operator (delivery guy, and maybe the customer (Amazon)) if he wrecked your property, since he was driving it, but maritime insurance doesn't work that way: you sue the vessel owner (U-Haul).

Then there's owner of the bridge (insured by Chubb), and then the re-insurance that Chubb has. Re-insurers are generally part of P&I clubs as well, so there's pooling of risk above the pooling of risk (which generally are activated in stages):

See also general average:

> The law of general average is a principle of maritime law whereby all stakeholders in a sea venture proportionately share any losses resulting from a voluntary sacrifice of part of the ship or cargo to save the whole in an emergency. For instance, should the crew jettison some cargo overboard to lighten the ship in a storm, the loss would be shared pro rata by both the carrier[2] and the cargo-owners.

The author seems to be at Elo 1100. At this level players don't think even a single move ahead and blunder their queen every other game. Slightly better amateur players realize that they should trade pieces once they're ahead to get to a winning end game.

Not really, they updated to 5.6.x but used code from the git tag, not from the tarball, and only in their snapshot (not stable) version. The git repository never contained <i>build-to-host.m4</i>, so the injected build step was never executed and not backdoored library was produced.
As another comment mentioned, copyleft would prevent commits to this project from being merged into Redis, intentionally making this a "hard fork". I do think it's ideological, but it's doesn't seem needless to me - there is a real ideological battle to be fought here.
> or did you not use Linux before 2010?

I've been using Linux regularly since 2002. I've never regularly used a Linux that used sysvinit.

In other words, over the past ~22 years (goddamn, where did the time go?) every Linux I've regularly used has had an init system that allows you to specify service dependencies to determine their start order.

> ...Debian...

Ah. That explains it. Debian's fine to build on top of but a bad distro to actually use. (Unless you really like using five-to-ten (and in some cases 25->35) year old software that's been superseded by much-improved versions.)

You should also consider that packages named "sysvinit" sometimes aren't actually what people think of when they hear "sysvinit": <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sysvinit>
