I could search my heart to try to interpret your sarcastic comments in good-faith.

Like, maybe you mean, "Surely, there should be a roughly linear relationship between the number of cars on the road and the number of unlawful traffic activities, and the decrease in driving in San Francisco was only X%, not 95%." To which I could say something like, "Hmm, yeah, that's a good point. Maybe less people run red lights if they aren't feeling frustrated from traffic already - or maybe the opposite, maybe more people run them if there isn't any perceived cross traffic. Would it be okay, or even good, to loosen traffic enforcement if the actual risk of the illegal activity has decreased?"

But honestly? You sound like you've got some really strong guiding narratives that you're not willing to talk about like an adult. So I'm not gonna play.
I VPN to a $5 vps in a distant country. I kill and move/re-up it once or twice a year.

They probably could sell my traffic, but I estimate it (based on vibes) as being less likely than for most other intermediaries

> on large datasets, once loaded into GPU memory,

You're yada-yada-yadaing the best part.

If the disk can process the data at 1GB/s, the CPU can process the data at 2GB/s, the GPU can process the data at 32GB/s, then the CPU can process the data at 1GB/s and the GPU can process the data at 1GB/s.

(also, personally, "large dataset" is a short way to say "doesn't fit in memory". if it fits in memory it's small, if it doesn't fit in memory it's large. but that's just my opinion. I generally avoid calling something a "large" or "small" dataset because it's an overloaded term that means different things to different people.)
Fleet's code is still around if the pain of Kubernetes outweighs the benefits. The problem, in this case, is that systemd is not exactly minimalist, and Fleet built on top of it. I've used it in the past and it felt complex as well, especially when debugging problems.
The thing that was most unclear with this incident in Colorado was: How did they decide which areas to shut down? It didn't make me feel like the people in charge knew what they were doing, when we left our neighborhood where the power was intentionally turned off (for over a day) to go to our friends' house where it was kept on, despite them having much stronger winds both in the forecast and in actuality. Their house is also in an area with much higher fire risk, surrounded by dry windswept vegetation. It's hard to trust an organization that says "we're turning off your power due to your area's unique risk of fire" when that conclusion seems incomprehensible to anyone aware of the weather and geography of the area. It's very hard not to wonder whether they are ignorant or are not being forthright. Maybe there is some information that would show that they made the right decisions, but if so, they certainly haven't shared it yet!
Those studies were designed to confirm Professor Sir Simon Baron-Cohen's "extreme male brain" theory (which, by the way, is a crock of shit). High androgen levels and high oestrogen levels are associated with autism (ref: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41380-019-0454-9) and there's no reason to believe the arrow of causality points in any particular direction.

I recommend you not focus overmuch on why your kids are autistic. (The most likely reason is that one or both of the biological parents are autistic.) Disabilities are contextual, and autism can be a significant disability if you want to "live a normal life", so the best approach is not to impose arbitrary constraints and unrealistic expectations on them. (And really, who wants to keep up with the Joneses, anyway? https://xkcd.com/308/)

If you're interested in the topic generally, by all means learn about it, but none of this will help your daughters. There's no way to "cure" autism, because there's nothing to cure: it's just a way to describe a way that some people are. (Though some associated conditions, such as difficulty focusing can be treated with medication (I'd recommend not putting kids on ADHD drugs, because it's hard to distinguish between a genuine problem with cognition and mere excitable boredom from the outside.), others (e.g. hypermobility, coordination issues) can be mitigated with physiotherapy, and yet others (e.g. social anxiety, miscalibrated hunger / thirst detectors) can be alleviated with explanation, strategies, and practice.)

A good part of the differences in "severity" of their "autism symptoms" will be the extent to which they grok the things in question. For example, if you're not interested in verbal communication, you're not going to study it intensely to pick up on how other people instinctively behave, so you won't learn to imitate it. No amount of wanting what verbal communication can get you will give you the intrinsic motivation you need for (years of) extended, generalisable study – at least, not unless you happen to be good at long-chain motivation. If, however, there's a fun game you like, and playing that game involves developing proficiency in the (inherently boring) skill… well, there's a reason so many kids learn English by playing competitive video games.

I was thrown by you saying you were UK-based, if you have an L-1 then you’re able to reside and work in the US for that specific employer.

To change jobs on an L-1 you really need to have filed I-140 and be on the way toward your Green Card.

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-e-chapter-...

What this means concretely is if you have an L-1, an approved I-140 filed >6 months ago, and you’re now pending Adjustment of Status, I think it’s fairly safe to change jobs under AC21 (that’s what I did; this is not legal advice and I’m not an attorney, I took legal advice about my situation).

If you change jobs to work for Employer B after I-140 has been filed and >6 months has passed but *before* it is approved, I think that’s technically allowed in an authorization to work sense, however your L-1 is no longer valid, so if your I-140 filed by Employer A gets an RFE or Denial, you may be in difficult territory.
First thing I do with a new Jetbrains IDE is add a bunch of plugins. It’s pretty much the way most IDEs roll.
On the frontend, the users control the execution environment. On the backend, developers control the execution environment. It had to be this way for the web to scale the way it did.

Most developers are control freaks. "I put in input, and the computer does what I say." Far more so than the general population, I think. That lack of control on the frontend will predictably not be looked on highly by many in our profession. I think those who are more comfortable having a more loose grip on their environment tend to be more comfortable with front end development—more accepting the state of how things are, not some elegant and provable state that can be verified to the nth degree.

We've molded and shaped our world in the backend to be as predictable and controllable as possible. Arguably, the frontend is more representative of the real world and its compromises.
It’s their business (value proposition) to not do the same and most explicitly commit to that. They also get third party aidiots and publish results. This isn’t fool proof but it’s better than trusting Comcast or ATT or whoever.
The mill computing project is basically a criticism of x64

I think there are a few other legitimate problems with x86 than decode complexity:

* x86_64 traditionally only has 16 registers and destructive instructions. This is apparently also a problem for Intel, hence, they introduced APX which goes to 32 GPR and adds three-operand instructions. But who will use APX in the next 10 years outside specialized server software and gentoo users? Consider that most applications still target x86-64-v1, and runtime dispatch isn't really practical for this.

* Piling on ever larger SIMD extensions. This is not so much a burden on the implementation, but on the software landscape. The way intel and AMD traditionally seem to implement SIMD instructions, is to have execution units that can do an operation of the largest SIMD width, and use those to also execute the smaller SIMD widths. That seems reasonable, and probably is a good tradeoff given the decode complexity, but it also means that not using the latest SIMD extension wastes a lot of compute power. If decode was easier, you could've stuck with one SIMD width, and just add more execution ports, which means that older software also gets a speedup on newer generations. This is kinda what AMD did for Zen 4, where they implemented AVX512 on top of AVX2, instead of the other way around. Or how ARM implementations that only support 128-bit wide NEON can keep up with AVX2 (256-bit) and sometimes AVX512 (512-bit).

* All the legacy things may not cost much in terms of die space, because they are implemented in microcode, but I'd imagine they have significant development and verification costs.

Edit:

Another aspect regarding decode complexity is that the latest ARM cores started removing the uop cache, this would be pretty much impossible for a fast x86 implementation. I wonder how ARM decode width - uop cache and x86 decode width + uop cache scale for wider and wider cores.

Yes, I was using a bit of hyperbole.

But that said, on this point I do agree with the author: privacy improvements from using a VPN are marginal for the average user due to the now widespread use of HTTPS. Yes, your ISP can see which domains you visit, but that's about it. I'm curious if there have been any successful lawsuits or prosecutions based solely on domain access logs.
If the page is rendered using JavaScript then yes you need more.

If there were a version of links, elinks, or lynx that executed JS that would be wonderful.
It isn't the perfect solution, but fixing our education system is going to be much harder to accomplish especially with so many colleges being for profit.

It won't be a single thing that fixes it and will instead be multiple things that will take many years to accomplish.

Meanwhile this is an overnight way to address a problem for students that are out of college. If we only focus on fixing school but ignore those that already went through it, that isn't right either.

It feels like we often get too stuck on waiting for the perfect solution that addresses everything when we have smaller things that can be done to improve the current situation. Yes there is a risk that we never go further than that, but there is also a chance that more fundamental changes will never happen regardless. I would prefer a small something happen than nothing.
Redis is an in-memory cache by definition. If you don't want to cache in-memory, then don't use Redis.
>Nah, just saying it can reduce the damage.

Increased nominal value of assets doesn't reduce any damage actually. It just means that maybe you lost a smaller portion of your net worth than you would have otherwise.

>It's not good for businesses, and the drop in real income is not good. But the income hurt is smaller than raw inflation, and the the savings situation is pretty nice actually.

While some businesses may be able to psych people out with an unnecessary price hike, it doesn't actually help anything.

>Well I was talking to the guy that said inflation was 25-30%. If they're right than stocks have had a huge real profit.

No, there is no profit from inflation. The numbers are just getting bigger. There is one actual way to profit from inflation, and that is to borrow money and buy valuable stuff, then repay the loan with less valuable dollars.
> Any substrate which supports the necessary logical operations ought to be sufficient. To believe otherwise seems needlessly anthropocentric.

This makes sense. Anything that performs logic using electricity is conscious and comparable to the human brain. This is obviously true because there is no word or concept for anthropomorphizing
Not really though; it implies that's what we're building, and does the article a disservice. A picture of the actual project is far more useful
As someone else pointed out, sshd is set to be eagerly linked which sidesteps the problem of subsequent dlopen calls. But even subsequent dlopen calls should work in my scheme if every library gets its own protected GOT - a dlopen would create a new GOT for that library, populate it & seal it. It wouldn't have access to modify any other GOT because those would be sealed & subsequent dlopens of other libraries would use new GOTs.
I think they just thought the rain was smog.
I remember the C++ ca. 1994 year when I started my career. It was C with Objects back then. And it was great! C++ was better C, it was easy for any C dev to convince him/her to jump to it.

I recently had to work with C++ code and... it is not a happy story anymore:

- Lots of magic like described here

- F**ing templates - for those who like them, did you ever see a C++ core file? Or tried to understand a single symbol?

- Standarization that feels like pulling more Boost into the language, which means more templates. Which makes core files incomprehensible.

It used the be that average dev who knew C could read and work with simple C++. This is no longer true. C++ is no longer a better C.

P.S.
Example from recent core file, one line in the stack trace: boost::asio::asio_handler_invoke<boost::asio::detail::binder2<core::AsyncSignalCatcher<2, 15, 17>::waitForSignal<XServer::m_accept_loop(tsr::Data&)::<lambda(spawn::yield_context)>::<lambda(int)> >(XServer::m_accept_loop(tsr::Data&)::<lambda(spawn::yield_context)>::<lambda(int)>&&)::<lambda(const boost::system::error_code&, int)>, boost::system::error_code, int> > (function=...)
That is irrelevant to what I wrote.

If interest rates remain the same for a longer period then houses must sell for a price where people can pay their mortgages.

Household income is a hard constraint. People can't pay more for interest payments than they earn.

House prices can still rise if:

• people can pay more on interest e.g. reduce their spending in other areas e.g. increase income using overtime. e.g. rent or AirBnB rooms.

• Or if they can lower mortgage interest costs by increasing deposits/equity e.g. sell down other investments, or borrow from friends/family e.g. downsize house.

• Or if more wealthy people move into the area

And it is a market - I am talking about how individuals drive the market price but obviously the price is set by successful sales and purchases. There is a lot of unmet demand by people who can't quite afford a deposit/mortgage.
No one seems to be talking about the typo "Everent", isnt it simply a matter of finding that typo on the source-data/internet ? to prove either way?

Where would you draw the line though? What is acceptable non-AI remastering?

I'm 99% confident that similar issues were raised with e.g. recolored films, HD upscales, etc.
Dbus is a thing. Bus1 was its still-born spiritual kernel-space successor.
I don't see anything wrong with selling an upscaled film as a new product, if it's done well. Doing a decent upscale isn't trivial, and quality is often improved significantly.

Like anything, not all upscaled re-releases are of worthwhile quality.
I recall working on this for synthesizing UEFI and Linux drivers https://trustworthy.systems/publications/nicta_full_text/769... back in the day. Luckily some of the artifacts made it to open source. Unluckily the generated source code was tough for humans to read and maintain. The readability of LLM-based source code solutions from tools like Github CoPilot is amazing in comparison.
I came across the quote "Happiness is a choice" recently. I haven't read the context yet (Suppliants by Aeschylus); but I feel like "Working towards removing unhappiness and increasing happiness is a choice" is a more complete idea.
Some college campuses (like the University of Texas system) block tiktok on wifi, so people are using VPN. (They could use cellular data instead, but that is often slower than campus wifi with VPN).

While I can't comment on the stats, I do have a story. A long time ago I was working and living in SF. I had just finished work and was heading over to a nearby bar. I was waiting at a very busy intersection for the cross walk to signal to go. I had recently moved to SF and all my new friends warned me about cars, so I was being cautious. There was a guy standing in front of me with big headphones on looking at his phone. He just stepped into the street. Out of the corner of me eye I saw a car taking a turn coming right at him too fast. I reached out, grabbed him by his backpack and pulled him back on the sidewalk. His eyes were firmly fixed on me as the car zoomed by where he would have been, him totally oblivious. He gave the the WTF is your problem face then safely crossed the street.

I think about that guy sometimes and wonder what his version of the story is. Further I sometimes question if he was ever in danger and I was just being overly cautious.
Only up to a a certain income limit. And the amount that can be deducted is capped. It doesn’t require itemizing though so that’s nice.. but as someone who itemized and makes ‘too much’ money, I’d have benefited greatly if it was treated like mortgage interest
It's hilarious to me that even with 25 years of engineering hindsight, you can only point to one framework that has executed well enough to be considered superior to CSS.

With 20 years of prior art to look at, new options should be better by default. What does it say about our industry when the vast majority of "replacements" are not?
Postgres has nowhere near all the features of redis. Go and have a look at the redis command’s documentation. They’re not even really similar at all, once you get past basic GET/SET stuff.
I think this doesn't load js before scraping. Many sites hydrate content using JS.

This Wikipedia article is a very small slice of a large field[1]. SyGuS is a language to specify inputs and constraints meant to standardize the field. The main benefit to this standardization is to allow researchers to benchmark their synthesizers against others'. Naturally, this leads to an annual competition (SyGuS-Comp).

There are other ways to specify your desired program, such as sets of input-output pairs, or natural language as others are discussing with LLMs. SyGuS is a denotational, rather than operational way to describe a program's behavior.

If a synthesized program satisfies the specification given, then by definition it is bug free. It's possibly the largest problem facing the field that specifications are difficult to write, and often harder than just writing the code correctly yourself. I believe the S-expression based language is chosen primarily due to its easy parsing and generation.

Yes that's a good point. We will look for more suitable photos to illustrate this better - ideally from the same city.
We could probably use Chiang Mai, Thailand where our company of located and has wide annual swings of air quality.
Considering the chart starts in 2014, I can understand the parent commenter having difficulty taking your Covid-19 argument in good faith.

What data would you need to see to change your mind?

PS: I went looking for data, and the number of traffic fatalities per year haven't gone up significantly since 2014. So I stand corrected. It's a big relief, as an SF resident; parent commenter's chart was really worrying. Phew

I absolutely despise my ISP’s business arm, but I trust their network arm not to do something stupid. I certainly trust them more than a company in a remote tax haven with a broken legal system.
I'm not an attorney either. The best way to answer the question is to find one that specializes in this arena, and ask them, rather than believe anything you read on the Internet, or from an LLM. Still, the whole thing could just go to zero. The finteching doesn't work out and the company and thus your options become worth zero. I hope that doesn't happen for you, but before dilution, you have up look at that as a very real possibility. Something could pivot out from under you and it could just stop working and being worth anything.

Once you've stared that beast in the face, yeah, dilution is a thing that could happen, but it's not in anyone's interest to screw you over. If you get screwed over by your board, people are going to know, and not want to work with those people ever again. So dilution absolutely happens, but you just have you hope you're not gonna get screwed over. There's no legal guarantee that you won't though, so that's why the common advice is that that options are worth $0, until they aren't. So you have to look at options as a lottery ticket and ask how much you like the work and how much you like your coworkers, how much you like what the company does, and can you live off the pay you do get.
Well, it sort of does. Imagine your doing 100 in the left lane, as does the car in front of you and the three cars in front of them. There’s a truck doing 80 in the middle lane some 500m away. All of you are going to pass it. Now a sixth car starts tailgating behind the last in line and because there’s left a big safety gap he’s overtaking on the right.

I was the last in line, going at the exact same speed as the cars in front of me, just leaving enough space. Why would I switch lanes?

Plus it was leading to an exit anyway…
>But house prices by their nature move more slowly.

They can and have moved very fast in the past few years.

>Even if new listing are more expensive, anyone in a long-term lease or an owner isn't subject to new prices. Or anyone who has exited the housing marker (ie moving in with parents) is not paying high prices.

That is a very short-term situation. Everyone who doesn't own a house needs to pay rent. And homeowners will eventually be faced with higher taxes as a result of inflated values, and they might not be able to cope. People who are forced to move in with parents aren't managing some epic life hack, they are trying to scrape by in the face of high prices.

It seems like you're trying to make the argument "There is no inflation and even if there is, it doesn't matter." And I'm not buying it.
I’ve not seen any openbsd exploit code in… a decade though? Can you point me to a single working exploit for anything in openbsd lately?

(Excluding shellshock/log4shell kind of vulns)

I mean an exploit against some service running on openbsd, or even necessarily the os contents..

Edit: I don’t mean an 0day, just an exploit that worked on some combo of openbsd and x. X being anything like e.g Apache or Bind or whatever
