I LOATHE cybersecurity.

I wish governments would have some kind of enforceable ISO standard on it, where it would be required by law for source code to be properly validated, either by a compiler or linter or by a third party, where an insurance company would be financially liable if a CVS is found.

I feel like it is the only real way to improve cybersecurity in serious manner. There is so much software in the world that it has become a national security problem.

Of course one issue with this, is that as long as the NSA is obviously a leader in cybersecurity, they would rather have software used outside of the US to be less secure, but with time, that strategy might also cause problems.

I don't have a problem being spied on by western government, but if low security causes bad state actors or other criminal to cause problems, then that's bad.

It's basically allowing you to use the vulkan API on the virtualized guest, by writing vulkan API commands in a ring buffer in memory that is visible both by guest and host. These memory regions are only alive and accessible as long as the allocation lives, which is controlled by virtio control commands (in specific, create, map, unmap, destroy BLOB where a blob is the shared memory allocation).

This allows textures shaders and generally large amounts of data to skip being copied to and from the virtqueues, which is the usual method of virtio communication.

So to answer your question, if you use the Vulkan API on a guest to for example query the available Vulkan devices, if the correct mesa library is installed and virtio-gpu Venus is available, you will be able to use resources on the host with the Vulkan API.

It's been years since I've practiced, so take my understanding with a grain of salt, but, the idea is that the swelling will be excessive, and because the space to accommodate it is limited, this can end up constricting the blood vessels and compromise blood perfusion, despite the fact that the inflammatory response is trying to 'open' them.

Therefore by artificially causing them to open slightly less, you control the swelling, and stop it from pooling so much that it then blocks blood flow completely.

The extreme scenario of this is called compartment syndrome, where the blood flow is completely blocked, leading to necrosis of the affected area; this is an orthopedic emergency, where 'fasciectomy' needs to be performed; effectively slicing open the compartments to allow the expansion to occur without compromising blood flow.

Kitboga isn't committing any war crimes, so blow it out your ass. Reducing the number of grandmas being scammed absolutely justifies the """atrocity""" of wasting the time of scammers and hypothetically having them get punished by their bosses. The real problem here is you obviously have more sympathy for scammers than their victims. "Oh but the scammers are victims too..." Well you've got two groups of victims then; people who are pure victim and people who are simultaneously victim and criminal, and you favor the latter. You're wrong.

I've had the code all this time, and about 15 years ago(!!!) we were working on a fix for some bugs that had been around a while. At the time, there was talk about releasing the code, but we wanted to get a patch out and find a replacement for the MVE decoder first. I sent an email to the owner a few days ago (after a comment on a different post here) asking if we can just go ahead and strip the code we can't release, and he said "go for it".
I mean, if that paper wasn't declassified until 2017, what are they chances they knew about the prior art exactly?

Sure, electronic computers largely don't implement arithmetic.

The value of electronic computers derives from the fact they can "differentially activate" electronic devices (graphics cards -> lcd screens, etc.). If they werent electronic, they'd be basically useless -- since electricity is essentially the only "power transmission" force which we can reliably use.

I do think much of the metaphorical language we use around these devices completely mystifies them. These abstractions we use fail all the time, and reveal themselves as deceptions. We ought, often, get back to reality.

The reality of NNs, implemented on electronic devices, is that they can accept digitally encoded electronic signals and output likewise, where the variations in output signals are models of conditional probability structures

This, as a an analogy for learning, for animals, for people, etc. is madness; provably so. It's a convenient pseudoscience, for an era obsessed with the power of electricity to power devices of automation, rather than steam. Were we in the steam age, The Brain would be hydaulic. The gullible in the intelligensia are always obsessed by the baubles and trinkets of elite appeal.

Thanks for testing it out! So, because I've found (in purely vibe-based testing, of course) that with queries of 1, 2 or 3 words, a vector embedding doesn't always make a lot of sense. What's "Apple"? The fruit, the company? So, here it defaults to priming the fuzzy search with a full text search on 'apple', or 'flow state'. If you want to know something about deep work, try "tricks for performing deep work", or "help me get into a flow state".

It's all very serendipity-driven, and this is mostly a tool for wasting time, but you might discover some interesting (and hopefully on point) conversations this way.

Anyway, valuable feedback. Maybe in a next interation, I'll always do both searches and merge the resulting ranking.
I don't know what you consider to be a credible threat to your life but those two examples make the top five for me. There is no one I will ever interact with that has a greater chance of ending my life than an on duty police officer.

If a guy with the closest thing the real world has to a license to kill, who is doing something bad enough to warrant being recorded for later evidence, turns their attention to intimidate you or physically force you to stop — this is a person you believe yourself to be safe around?

Well, I don't know; an educated guess is that it's not just blood vessels that could be compromised by excessive swelling, however localised.

Having said that, the RICE acronym is often extended to PRICE, to indicate that the typical treatment also involves a "Plaster of Paris". So in the presence of a plaster, the confinement is even more strict, so you would want to control the swelling response inside the tightly-fitting plaster anyway.

But, again, disclaimer, haven't practiced in years, and even then I was not specifically an orthopedic doctor. :)

In AWS you don't even do neighbour discovery through ARP. Or that's a lie, you do, you get a arp reply, but it's not from any of your devices on the network. And traffic is authenticated and authorized at both the source and destination, so you can't do fun things like manipulating arp tables. You get a lot of nice features when you have a fully software defined network, but it comes with a couple of caveats, like you mentioned here. I doubt we'll ever see "real multicast support" in the sense that network engineers are used to.

Absolutely no.

If a line of code belongs in a project with one file and a main() function, the presumption of impact of that code line on overall code paths is trivial.

If that line of code belongs in a library procedure used by a million LOC project, presumption cannot be done if you don't the project internals and tooling.

Rewriting entire systems or frameworks because one thinks that it's hard to implement a certain class of features is almost always a recipe for disaster.

> The US and Israel have assassinated targets in the country of Iran recently, while the reverse has not been true.

I presume you are referring to the US killing of Soleimani, and the embassy bombing, though neither of those were in Iran. But you're missing the point. Why did those killings happen?

Iran keeps arming proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah, militias in Iraq, the Houthis, and maybe some others), and having those proxies attack Israel and the US. (In the case of Soleimani, he was meeting with militias in Iraq who were literally killing US military personnel.) Iran thinks this is a fun game of "we get to kill your people, and you don't get to kill us".

Eventually the US and Israel got tired of the game. The US killed Soleimani at a time and place that made it explicitly clear what he was doing and why the US wasn't going to keep putting up with it. Israel lost patience with Iran's game after the Hamas attack; they are in no mood to allow Iran to be stirring up trouble with Hezbollah on their northern border.

So I think it's rather unfair to point fingers at Israel and the US for killing Iranians, when the individual Iranians in question are deliberately trying to kill US and Israeli soldiers and citizens, and have been for quite some time.

Quibble: There are Treasury money-market funds with the same tax advantages (just pay attention to the government obligation percentages when you do your taxes), and basically the same yields, because that is in fact what they're doing under the hood. And they can be a little easier to deal with than putting a ladder together yourself. E.g., FZFXX, SNSXX, VUSXX.
