i am running half a dozen tmux sessions without any configuration at all, and a few more where the only configuration is to change the key for tmux commands away from ctrl-b. i used to have several more of those, but i am no longer nesting tmux sessions as much.
It's a double-edged sword. Without that ubiquity, 4 years ago today, George Floyd would have just been known as a junkie who slipped a fake bill and had a heart attack, if he was known at all. Instead, we were able to see with our own eyes what actually happened.

There is certainly a hammer/nail aspect to the issue (which is itself one of degrees), but I do think that part of the blame that gets put on the technology and its use lies more correctly with the society that makes judgments off of that use's outputs. Ideally, in a functional society, no one would bat an eyelash at coeds sharing platonic nakey time.
I think the idea is something like "let things run normally until they don't need that extra core. If it doesn't need the core, we shut it down. And it never wakes up"

Which... Makes it hard for the user to notice the change? Cores will naturally go offline, but performance stays the same while you still use it.

I think this is just a demo of what you can do with user space scheduling and shouldn't be taken seriously...
In your `~/.ssh/config`, make sure you have:

Host *
ControlMaster auto
ControlPath ~/.ssh/control/%C.sock
ControlPersist 300s

And SSH will multiplex as many sessions as you want into a single connection. If you're not using tmux to allow you to resume detached session, this works really nicely. I have fingerprint auth for the first session, to establish the connection, then I can connect and disconnect to my heart's content without authenticating again unless I have no connections open for 300s.

I typically use plain SSH with persistent sessions, and connect over Tailscale so even if I go offline and reappear on a different IP address my session will probably survive. If my session doesn't survive, it's easy enough to start a new one :).

The missing piece, from what others have commented about, is long-running commands. If I'm upgrading Debian over SSH then I will do that in `screen`, but for pretty much anything else I'd prefer to launch it as a (possibly ad-hoc) service and let my service manager look after it.

This is a weird take. Historically Japan has overinvested in rural infrastructure, because the ruling LDP's support base is rural, rural votes carry disproportionate weight, and when there's nothing going on economically construction is the best way to funnel money in.

In addition, Japan is exceptionally well prepared for disasters, probably better than any other country in the world. Those plans are regularly battle tested because it also has a lot of disasters. Yes, it took a while to get aid out, but that's because the tsunami wiped all coastal roads, railroads, airports etc, and AFAIK hunger was not an actual problem for survivors.

I've known more than a few ex-religious of varying types who in young adulthood have to find an explanation for why:

- they are not at all who the faiths they were raised by said they should be
- they know there's not actually anything wrong with themselves (or others like them), despite what their faith taught them

Squaring these two deeply personal realizations is challenging. People take many paths. Your interaction is an outlier, but by no means the most extreme I've encountered.

While I don't agree with quite some assumptions and comparisons the author makes I tend to agree that microservices are often not the right answer for your problem.

They can be great when:

* You need just one function that is not directly related to your core application logic and might be needed by other service. Great usecase for a microservice or lambda

* You need to separate statefull and stateless components

* Have async workflows

* Scaling to infinity and beyond

But most don't application problems don't have these requirements for it's core logic. Microservices have a huge cost. Code and dependency dublication, complex deployments, latency, harder debugging and tracing and the cognitive load is much higher.

A lot of read blogs and new form netflix and google and want to do the same. The management of my current project is asking for microservices because it is the new hot sh*t, so teams are doing it just like SAFe and AI - even when it does not help to solve the problem.

> intractable problems with quality and fulfillment

• Re: fulfillment — why not ask Etsy sellers to pre-stock everything that's not made-to-order into fulfillment centers like Amazon's? And, in fact, to send anything that is made-to-order to a fulfillment center first, where it'll be inspected, re-wrapped and re-shipped by the fulfillment center — with the buyer's card only having a hold, not a charge, on it until the seller's goods are inspected by the fulfillment center as good? (In other words: turn the process into a goods-for-money mediated escrow.)

• Re: quality / drop-shipping — I feel like a lot of this could by solved just through simple semi-automated verification. Require for a product to be listed, for the seller to upload a video of themselves making the thing. Then pass those videos to MTurk workers to evaluate them for tricks.

> Etsy has every reason in the world to want to get away from small sellers and move to high volume manufacturers

Except that... that's their whole niche.

Specifically, 90% of Etsy's value at this point is in the market of buyers they have slowly marketed and engaged and cultivated brand recognition with over decades — and those buyers are people looking for low-volume goods. They don't want to buy high-volume goods from Etsy. That's not the association they've been painstakingly educated to have.

If Etsy wanted to get into Amazon's business, they'd have to create a new brand to do it with, because that's just not the business that people associate with the Etsy brand. And that would mean starting from scratch.

> The right answer is no rocks.

Sand is considered a "rock". If you live in e.g. the USA or the EU you've definitely inadvertently eaten rocks from food produce that's regulated and considered perfectly safe to eat.

It's impossible to completely eliminate such trace contaminants from produce.

Pedantic? Yes, but you also can't expect a machine to confidently give you absolutes is response to questions that don't even warrant them, or to distinguish them from questions like "do mammals lay eggs?".

Etsy should charge the sellers fees per sale, and make them post an expensive bond. Then Etsy can ban drop shipping, give instant refunds, pay return postage, and generally hold the creators to high standards.

Etsy should also mandate the inclusion of a scan code in the package, which the customer can use to show they received the shipment but it wasn't as advertised. This would catch people lying about the contents, when the creators take a photo of the item & code in the box (and send it to Etsy before shipping.) Creators taking a photo and then changing the item will be caught because of the number of complaints, and customers can be refunded long after the transactions using the bond.

Why are you so sure that an item being sold at a local craft-market gives you any guarantee of its local origin?

Mind you, you can at least be sure that food items sold by such vendors are domestic (if not local per se), because of import restrictions.

I think what he is saying is.

1. Your automated system should be as fast as possible.

2. Stick with known, basic fundamental strategies.

3. Try new ideas around how to give those same strategies more predictive power (signal).

#1 is straight technical execution.

#3 is constantly evolving.

Is how I understood this.

And as sort of an afterthought I guess the better you are at #1 the less good you need to be at #3 and the worse you are at #1 the better you need to be at #3?

It would then use this presence to get access to physical infras, weapons, etc until it has factories setup where it can manufacture robots, drones loaded with its software.

These specific results aren't the problem, though. They're illustrations of a larger problem -- if a single satirical article or Reddit comment can fool the model into saying "eating rocks is good for you" or "put glue in your pizza sauce", there are certain to be many more subtle inaccuracies (or deliberate untruths) which their model has picked up from user-generated content which it'll regurgitate given the right prompt.
I don’t think there is a “policy”. There may have been one in the 1990’s or earlier. It had never been revised. If I’m not mistaken the US is still working off immigration numbers from the early 90’s for employment based green cards.

The republicans and democrats can’t agree on a policy. They use it as flame bait since it is a very emotional topic, especially illegal migrants and H1b abuse. So we are in this situation of a poorly funded agency without consistent guidance for immigration in the 21st century.

The customer isn't even the board, it's the stockholders. This has always been true though.

The users and even the employees took a back seat to making Wall St. happy.

Google was extremely useful for about 10 years from around 2002 through about 2012, but even then they were conspiring with Apple to suppress wages for top web browser and other programmers, and they were abusing their overwhelming search monopoly to gain illegal advantage in email, web browsers, and office productivity apps.
