A term can be both established and nonsensical, like grandparent's "serverless".

It doesn't make sense in multiple ways.

"Distro" means "distribution", so "something that is distributed". Aren't "distroless" images being widely distributed?

It seems that "distroless" images are being built from a distribution, and then by removing some of the contents. So you must have a distro first, otherwise you can't have "distroless". That doesn't add up semantically.

I agree so much with your arguments.

There's a huge difference between "I don't like your variable name" and "this code is so messed up that any change will have to be manually checked against 20 major features under 20 different cases".
Well, sure. Ultimately most things posted here are just our opinions. Kinda a pointless thing to reply with, though.

I just realised how good the laptop specs are for $1000 price point after seeing the System76’s catalog. Has the price of generic PCs without MS/Mac dropped or has Mac prices really warped the perception, I am not sure
Looking at the dependency listing I'm trying to figure out why this would be. There are like 4 dependencies here in the largest of these containers, so why is it so difficult to keep them up to date?
Maybe it was a fad. Maybe. But I think it perhaps maybe expressed a real itch and one that's not been well served since.

It's trite cynical & limited to just chalk this era up as a moment in time. There's a lot of good reasons to believe it so, to be fair, but we have done so so so little to reenable & reunleash these chords that were struck in humanity again. The multimedia possibility of this all has been dwarfed by applianceized anti-usst software since, and little has tried to pierce the veil & enable deep user adoption, especially with regards to connected internet-centric experiences.

There's so many reasons to be dark & bad about but they all miss that we have tried so little since. We have been extremely well served by massified consumerized super platforms. Trying to beget agency hasn't been a longstanding work of many.
The only reason to build them is because they lower your total costs. Over its lifespan the value of power lost in transmission over a 1,000km HVDC line in regular operation is significantly more than the direct costs to build and operate one. But you can get a lot more efficiency building solar in Nevada vs the northeastern US which more than pays for those costs.

So, if by short distances you’re talking 1,000+km and 10GW then sure it’s billions. However, the US is only so big and Billion’s don’t actually mean much to move over 2% of the US’s total electricity.
I don't think the comment sounds unreasonable, and I don't find anything weird about the words in the comment itself. It just kinda bums me out that so many people must come here and comment and upvote comments without even reading or skimming the first few paragraphs of the article. This isn't news to me, of course; I've been a frequent HN reader for over a decade now. But it still bums me out.
chris peterson did in fact found osi, in the sense that she was at the meeting which founded it; see https://opensource.com/article/18/2/coining-term-open-source... for her account. google, apple, and microsoft did not. where are you getting this nonsense

Do you really see that much of a runtime gain with scratch images (or distroless, same general idea) to justify using them? Not a criticism, I’m genuinely curious to hear from people experienced with both sides of this.
Yeahhhh that sounds about right for a shitty recruiter.
I didn't read this as a criticism of your post, just as another point of view. Your post is more organized and probably thought through, this guy's is an opinion. No need to get defensive.

My experience with doctors, of which there has unfortunately been plenty, is that the older doctors are much better. If I need something delicate done I want a doctor who's 50-65ish. They know what they're doing, they don't screw around, and they've seen enough to know that yes, your case is the common thing they've seen 500 times before, and that this treatment works and that one doesn't.

I wonder if it was the basic gambler’s fallacy- which to be honest I still can’t grasp. I fully understand that conceptually every roll is completely independent and red/black is always ~50/50, but it’s very rare to see 20 straight black rolls in a row. Can someone try and explain it (if there even is anything to explain)?
Words can have different meaning than its etymological parents.

If I seed Ubuntu it doesn't become blckoil distro. So the word distro means different from distribution.

Judging by their $4000 relocation offer, I'm not sure the word "generous" is appropriate. "Hey! How'd you like that juicy $500 severance package?"
no. i am saying that this is actually a problem. especially for companies that need to implement certification like fedramp, which is very strict in areas of vulnerability management/keeping things updated/secured/hardened per specifications. (each individual cve vulnerability must be detected and remediated within specific timelines, based on it's severity)

i am currently working on fedramp certification for a big system, and all requirements are serious pain in the ass to comply with, in case your organization not used to it
The cows are not encouraged to think about the factory farm they are on. The circus lion is not reminded its a lion. The killer whale is kept in a tank and a called a potentially dangerous terrorist.

These are unnatural environments we have become very good at constructing. And then we end up using the same approach with people. The imagination and skill exists to reimagine all these environments. But it keeps getting directed towards other things.
FWIW I didn't particularly like the article, but I really liked your comment. I think "an exception is when code can no longer do any meaningful work" is a great definition, and also explains why flow control with exception handling works the way it does.

Obviously there are gray areas re what it is to mean "code can no longer do any meaningful work", which is why there are decisions to be made about when to throw an exception or when to do something else. Usually, though, that "something else" is to return an error sentinel value, most often null or similar (e.g. "undefined"). And then I think the reason it's sometimes a tough call is that since null/undefined essentially means "empty", the APIs that most often return null do so in cases where you're asking for something and it's not there, so returning "empty" feels reasonable.
The issue is you could make and maintain a blckoil distro tomorrow that only keeps the bare minimum to run a go application. It would be bit for bit the same as the "distroless" version, except it will be a distro.

Going a touch further: make it a pluggable local model. Browser fetches the first 10 links from google in the background, watches the YouTube video, hides the Google ads, presents you with the results.

Now not only can Google front the web pages who feed them content they make summaries from, but the browser can front Google.

Think in the way that even without kernel and toolkit, many deployments still need libraries and frameworks. Like python deployment needs python runtime, AI deployment needs Python and pyTorch.

Canonical will support that.

It's actually make sense as you don't need package manager or other things (basically distro toolkit) to build and run container image.
I had the same thing about Narmia — only learned as an adult that it was a Christian set of books. By then I’d learned a bit about Christianity so in re read them but still have no idea. Perhaps they aren’t christian and I was just being pranked.
It's going to be like the tide of "we saved $XYZ by moving to the cloud" articles followed by the inevitable "we saved 10x $XYZ by moving back to on prem". We just aren't at that 2nd half of the cycle yet, but it's coming. All that LLM processing isn't free.

My comment goes directly to how practitioners in the field refer to early gravitational detectors .. unless you're of the opinion that David Blair and son are somehow not practitioners in the field?

Harrison's first Longitude clock that worked at global scale was H4 .. the fourth in the series.

The LIGO detector came into being as a direct result of the work on earlier first generation detectors and technology invented there (eg saphire clocks) not only made LIGO possible but there are actual experts that straddle multiple generations of detectors.

It's completely understandable that those that came later and have perhaps only worked with LIGO, count detector generations by LIGO editions. These are not, of course, the same as detector generations.

It's likely a mistake to try and gatekeep others that are aware of the history, as noted that can just drive actual experts away.
It's basically canonical is moving towards image building supply chain ala bitnami.
We get trusted source to base image building and support from canonical.
Garry's mod uses Lua on server and clients. It also has the ability to create an embedded web browser on the client.

There have been many exploits throughout the years, including this particular exploit with bytecode, though in LuaJIT. Some were source engine related, some LuaJIT related, some web browser related (Awesomium) and some even steam overlay related.

I believe one funny thing about Awesomium was being able to read arbitrary files outside of the sandboxed virtual file system by using the file:// uri scheme. I think some debug related commands in source engine would also allow you to get a list of files outside of the virtual file system.

At one point someone even managed to install actual malware on my computer and sent me screenshots of my desktop. I forgot what the exploit was though.

No, you don't. Some open source producers might choose to take on that extra burden, but giving your software away for free cannot automatically create such a burden, no matter how many people use it. The only recourse you have as a user if you don't like that deal is to not use the software. You don't have the right to demand more free work from someone who already provided you with free work.

We are, I think, allowed to be repugnanted by a world which keeps showing us how callous cruel & uncaring it is.

It's up for debate what's regression & what's norm. The tough love crowd loves to pretend like this is how it always has been, but there's just no historic evidence about for showing what totalized every business versus literally every other business on the planet looks like. You have to be a dumb fucking sap to not see that things are different as fuck. (And heartless & brutal, if you accept this is the way.)

Why anyone things we should accept this shit is beyond the pale to me. The purpose of a business is to provide a good way of life for the people in it. Anything else creates irresolvable internal tensions that will not be good for this world, and which will drive a company apart from excellence ongoingly.

Yes, he is. But that's not because he has a duty to do so. It's because he chooses to, and because he can afford to so choose. If he stops doing it tomorrow, sure, a lot of people will have to scramble, but it's still up to him.

They absolutely come from a Christian worldview and tell some classic Christian tales in a different way. They're "Christian" in that sense, but they aren't proselytizing or anything. They demonstrate that good literature is just good literature. It doesn't matter what the worldview is.
From gh-topics/SIMD:

SIMDe: SIMD everywhere: https://github.com/simd-everywhere/simde :

> The SIMDe header-only library provides fast, portable implementations of SIMD intrinsics on hardware which doesn't natively support them, such as calling SSE functions on ARM. There is no performance penalty if the hardware supports the native implementation (e.g., SSE/AVX runs at full speed on x86, NEON on ARM, etc.).

The books are heavily allegorical and knowledge of who Aslan represents is usually enough to clue people in that it’s clearly a Christian metaphor, but I could easily see someone that didn’t have that background missing it. Even as a kid that grew up with a high level of Christian indoctrination a lot of the metaphorical concepts went over my head at the time. For example, in The Silver Chair there are rich metaphors about sin and salvation surrounding the characters that were totally unknown/unnoticed to me as a child, even though I knew all of the themes from my upbringing.
By this logic, X/Facebook/Instagram/etc. are not communities, but "ecosystems"... after all, everyone controls their own posts. You can't force someone to post something you want. "Don't like what <celebrity> is posting? Follow one of the countless alternatives. Or start your own account! Here, you can even use this automated bot as a base for making the posts you'd like." Meanwhile, "whatever word you choose, you'd do well to remember that <platform> is first and foremost a method of collaboration between elites. Not an entitlement program for petulant users to get free stuff or a seat at the table where decisions are made."

But these social media platforms are clearly communities... they even have "community guidelines". Not to mention Github https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-c...
The E-Mail Data Leakage is one I have personally experienced. In one case, shortly after I was hired at a company and got my email, I received a couple of things intended for a person with a similar email. I dug around a bit and my conclusion was that before I started Outlook auto-completed the start of the address with that of another person, but when my address entered the system the auto-complete changed to be my address.

So you would push for centralization and higher density not because its the only good solution, but because you think people wouldn't want the alternative, right? I don't see anything wrong with your guess that people wouldn't want it, but should that option be effectively removed from us through programs like a tax that incentivizes high density?

There's a sawmill I get lumber from about 10 minutes from my house. He gets all his logs from arborists within a few hours of here. They all give him the logs for free because the alternative is either burning them or having to pay by the truckload to take them to the dump. I don't live in the 1400s but I do very much appreciate the ability to get lumber that was milled locally and would otherwise have just been dropped in a hole with a bunch of garbage.
If they're going to cram a small LLM in the browser, they might as well start cramming a small image generating diffusion model + new image format to go along with it.

The "something that is distributed" is a package manager and package repositories. What makes a distribution is what choices it makes in letting you install software.

A distroless image doesn't include a package manager. You cannot use anything in the provided distroless image to install software.
