XDP, in its intended configuration, passes pointers to packets still on the driver DMA rings (or whatever) directly to BPF code, which can modify packets and forward them to other devices, bypassing the kernel stack completely. You can XDP_PASS a packet if you'd like it to hit the kernel, creating an skbuff, and bouncing it through all the kernel's network stack code, but the idea is that you don't want to do that; if you do, just use TC BPF, which is equivalently powerful and more flexible.

It seems a bit weird they’d disable the SMART fields just because the drive is not on their list. Those fields should work perfectly fine…?

That is a substantially more permissive license than Apache-2.0 (let alone other licenses, which apply to works to which Google also applies that CLA). That term means that Google can ignore the terms of Apache-2.0 and instead use the work under this much more permissive license, while everyone else is bound by Apache-2.0. In other words, they can do whatever they want with the code. Others could ship it in a proprietary product, sure, but they can't ignore the terms of the license while doing so.

"Permissive license" doesn't mean "do whatever you want". Apache-2.0, among other things, requires maintaining license notices,

(Note that the "and to recipients of" clause doesn't imply others can ignore the license terms, because they'd still be subject to the terms of whatever license Google puts on the software they distribute, whether that's Apache-2.0 or some proprietary license.)

So I maintain that "there's a single company with the right to change the licensing arbitrarily" is a largely accurate summary/gloss. Or, if you prefer, "there's a single company with the right to ignore the license terms".
Doctors can be associating what they’ve learned, often with heavy biases from hypochondriacs and not enough time per patient to really consider the options.

I’ve had multiple friends get seriously ill before a doctor took their symptoms seriously, and this is a country with decent healthcare by all accounts.

Human biases are bad too.
Federal judge partially blocks U.S. ban on noncompetes
The worst tasks are:

1. Evaluating whether some given page/alert/whatever is actually a problem, and whether it's an actionable one that needs to be dealt with

2. Doing the triage & work to understand the root cause, while at the same time also acting as a coordinator, unless your job has those roles split up in such a way that it's very easy to delineate those roles automatically.
The first adopters seem to be the same group / personality type that is always first to adopt new technologies.

From Big Tech to AI Startup: My Unfiltered 18-Month Journey
Original focus was on parallelization, but nowadays polyhedral compilers also optimize for (cache) locality and reuse.
Calling the iPhone an iteration is pure nonsense. Mobile phones had tiny utility compared to smartphones.

A phone on the go didn’t fundamentally alter anything except for making coordination while traveling easier. I went through both the cell phone adoption curve and the smartphone curve.

The latter was the massive impact that brought computing to the remaining 85% of the planet and upended targeting desktop operating systems for consumers by default.

Calling smartphones an iteration on cellphones is like calling ChatGPT an iteration on the neural networks we had 10 years ago.
> Mobile phones weren't that useful early on, outside of niche cases.

Truck drivers, construction crew, couriers, lawyers, sales people of all kinds, stock brokers, ... Most of the economy that isn't at a desk 996. Pretty big niche, bigger than the non-niche possibly.

Entirely self-supported bike races still exist, but they don't get the publicity and media attention the TdF gets. The Tour Divide and the Trans Am Bike Race are two ultra-endurance races that are self-supported. I would recommend bikepacking.com for coverage for self-supported mountain bike races.

After a decade of using Linux (to the point of compiling my own kernel since I am a CS guy) and using Windows since I was 6, I would gladly take the Mac any day of the week.

>Like for me the Mac will sometimes randomly turn on from sleep like in the middle of the night. For updates or things like that.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I only ever saw this on Windows. In fact (I probably shouldn't say this) but it lets me defer updates far longer than on Windows. I think the longest I have gone is a year+? They are the least intrusive updates ever.

>When you have wireless mouse but probably any kind of mouse, just a slight move of it will wake the laptop from sleep.

This does not happen on Windows or Linux? I have definitely seen it on Windows.

I think this is more on you as that feature is a blast to use for login purposes. On newer macs, the machine starts when you open the lid so maybe its been resolved on newer macs?
If you're using C++20 or above, you could try conjure_enum (https://github.com/fix8mt/conjure_enum) It's based on magic_enum but optimized for C++20. Not sure about compile times although in our testing and with our test users it hasn't been reported as an issue.

Yes, there is magic_enum already - and we based this implementation on the core of magic_enum, but refocused for C++20, using some of the key features of this language version such constexpr algorithms, std::source_location and concepts; we also improved on and expanded the API.

Finder remains one of those apps I still can’t make effective use of. Windows File Explorer for all its warts and changes still “just makes sense” to my brain vs how finder lays things out and expects you to browse.

I’ve long since moved to
command line or dual pane explorers but it’s something that makes me pause every time I do find myself in Finder for some reason.

The article explains a $600B gap in AI revenue expectations vs actuals. Rather than addressing that, you're posting about some dietician you know who worries their job will get replaced, as if it has any relevance whatsoever to the big picture.

We should have seen massive revenue growth and raises in future quarter revenue forecasts in the most recent round of SaaS company earnings reports. I think tons of companies have hyped up AI as if it's just on the cusp of AGI. The lack of massive top line growth has proven we're not even close, but the enormous investor speculation these companies triggered is the main reason for this $600B gap.

I'm not at all saying AI won't be transformational because it definitely does bring revolutionary capabilities that weren't possible before.
You're totally wrong. Apart from myopia and obesity, it's all nature, practically no nurture (without exceptionally negative environments, like abuse, drugs, or malnutrition). You're better off blaming social trends and microplastics.
Oh great, now I have to play Sim Tower again!

The better analogy is the massive investment in fiber optic cable in the late 90s. All the companies in that line (Global Crossing, Worldcom etc.) went bust after investing 10s of billions but the capacity was useful (with a >90% drop in price) for future internet services. Around 2000 when the bubble was bursting only 5% of capacity was being used but proved to be useful to get all internet-first companies like the Googles, Amazon, NetFlix's going.
I don’t think I’ve ever had ECC, and have never had any issues. What kind of problems would you expect to see?
That's basically my setup. I used to have a dedicated gaming PC and a desktop server but haven't used them in a few years. They both have something wrong with them so I'm just going to frankenstein them together into something pretty good. A 10 year old core i7, 16gb of ram, and an old Nvidia quadro is more than enough to run a bunch of apps and Plex transcoding on top of basic file serving.

It would be interesting to see an engine sound sim with various malfunctions, sort of like the call-in part of Click and Clack.

Just this afternoon my daughter asked why a car was making a particular sh-hiss between some cylinder beats and I speculated it was a small head gasket leak between cylinders allowing some of the ignited gases to expand into exhaust. Maybe it was something else though, maybe crispy cooked feline remains against a fan belt.
Relatively how expensive is to capture the callstack when doing sample profiling?

With Intel CET's tech there should be way to capture a shadow stack, that really just contains entry points, but wondering if that's going to be used...

It to me feels more like generation space ships.

The more interesting question is why so many people feel this place in the first place. Why this puzzling fascination? I don't have this with any other place.

Why do the pictures feel like home?

While I shouldn't, I remember it as people struggling to make ends meet but also as an incredibly happy place because of the tightly knitted social fabric. The need to help others and the need to be helped creates top notch relationships.
Some of the arguments I've read by philosophers seem like they are focusing on pure logic to prove a point or find weakness in another, but the linkage between those logic stmts and reality don't always seem to be considered.

It's almost like they are purely focused on symbolic logic, even if the stmts and symbols don't truly map to reality unambiguously, or without contradictions.
The sheer rage that came out of the reaction to the Cass report, which was fairly even handed, was ridiculous.

There is nothing special about such scales. Considering the scale was only invented in 1971, it's no wonder that it must be revised. There would be more meaningful ways to communicate storm characteristics but the public will not necessarily understand it in the same way as a more qualitative scale.
That isn't different in modern usage, Libertarian Socialism has nothing to do with Soviet Communism.

Libertarian Socialism, means Anarchism, the topic of this thread.

And the reason why America equates Socialism with Soviet Communism is the same reason America associates Libertarianism with Right Wing Corporatism.

It's a tenth of that.

I have a pet peeve with this common piece of wisdom. You can always find a "predecessor" for about anything. The corollary being that there is never a "first". And therefore, stating that "none of the big companies were the first in their categories" is just stating a tautology.
What people mean by AGI varies but consider:

>The Coffee Test (Wozniak)

Oh boy, Windows does the same thing (regarding hidden files to sort out FS stuff), but they hide it (just like Apple). We WSL2 users found out the hard way and Microsoft refuses to offer a solution. Relevant issue: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/7456

Apologies for my post getting snipped, The latest iOS beta keeps randomly eating my text. Apple is aware.
A lot of Classic Mac apps just used the resource fork to store all their data. It was basically used as a Berkeley DB, except the keys were limited to a 32-bit OSType plus a 16-bit integer, and performance was horrible. But it got the job done when the files were small, had low on-disk overhead, and was ridiculously easy to deploy.

Once you pushed an app beyond the level of usage the developer had performed in their initial tests, it would crawl to a near-halt, thrashing the disk like crazy on any save. Apple's algorithm would shift huge chunks of the file multiple times per set of updates, when usually it would be better to just rewrite the entire file once. IIRC, part of the problem was an implicit commitment to never strictly requiring more than a few KBs of available disk space.

In a sense, the resource fork was just too easy and accessible. In the long run, Mac users ended up suffering from it more than they benefited. When Apple finally got rid of it, the rejoice was pretty much universal. There was none of the nostalgia that usually accompanies disappearing Apple techs, especially the ones that get removed outright instead of upgraded (though one could argue that's what plists, XML and bundles did.)
It intersects at the 'nationalism' portion, but not quite the 'christian' portion. For example, you want soldiers that are nationalistic and willing to follow orders, that much is a given for any military.

But the last thing you want in a soldier is one that's doing things like refusing vaccines or chasing off other soldiers.

In a sense, the divide can be thought of as christian Nationalists, or Christian nationalists. The military has a lot of the former, and the latter is trying to seize control of the government. But right now I don't think there's a strong unifying factor between the two, because the latter gaining control threatens everyone else.
I'm old, when I get fired, I will never work a day in this industry for the rest of my life.

I like the short form stuff DFW wrote for Harper's Magazine. The one about his trip to the state fair with an old flame is sublime.
This made me think of Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum, where you find yourself thinking “I need to look some of this stuff up, it’s becoming hard to know if I understand it all”, but that is part of the satirical commentary he wanted to make - it’s very meta, very good, not knowing all of the esoteric references is the exact point.
> Hm, which features in particular are available in PDF or Epub that couldn't be replicated in Markdown?

‘Markdown’ isn’t well defined, but here are a few that I think apply:

- headers and footers on pages

- starting chapters on a new page

- having pages, to start with

- tables where cells have multiple lines of content

- pages with multiple columns of text

- drop caps

- ‘watermarks’ on pages (e.g. a diagonal “Concept” below the text)

- centering or full justifying paragraphs

- multiple kinds of underlines.

- text colors

- control over character and line spacing

- embedded JavaScript (https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/applying-actions-scrip...)

- DRM :-) / :-(

> Not to mention embedded HTML could cover even more where Markdown is lacking

Yes, you could use that to include JavaScript for a PDF or ePub renderer and then render those on-page :-)
good mental model, agreed

if you get to the 0.1.11a release and are annoyed that you have to manually edit some file to change engines, you can use 0.1.14a of the community edition of the software https://github.com/Engine-Simulator/engine-sim-community-edi...

it is almost the same except has some severe qol improvements.
My main objection to the newer EV sounds is that they are tonal enough to be recognized as a musical chord, but not a pleasant one. It’s either vaguely minor like a horror movie score, or a downright dissonant mash of pure sines.
Hi codigdave, I'll go check out the link you posted.
This. I use the same workflow. Also I am too lazy write and maintain notes - so I just use joplin for tags / metadata and typora (wysiwyg editor for md). Thinking and taking notes over typing on Typora is a godsend. Best $15 I have spent.

Writing todos as checkable list items in markdown and hitting them off one by one and tracking notes on the same md under different headings works like a charm. No more JIRA / excel / context switch.
First off, I want to thank you and the other members of the CC Foundation, the CC data set is an incredible resource to everyone.

Much of the UA data, including CCBot, is from an upstream source[0]. I was torn on whether CCBot and other archival bots should be included in the configs, since these services are not AI bot scraping services. I've added an exclusion for CCBot[1] and the archival services from the recommended configs.

It was all of the forked data that made dual format CDs/DVDs "interesting". In the beginning it was a trick. Eventually, the Mac burning software made it a breeze. Making a Mac bootable DVD was also interesting.
Yeah, it's not just the UK. Scientists in the US make lousy money too. They're actually a lot better off taking their science degree, quitting science work, and going into patent law to work on patents that the underpaid scientists create. You don't even need a law degree; you can work under a patent attorney. (Obviously the pay isn't as good as someone with a JD or LLM, but it's better than the people doing the actual science work.)
Good old JDS Uniphase was one of the first individual stocks I bought. I mean it had to go up right? Fiber and dark fiber and the continual threat of the internet collapsing due to load… better buy that stock!

That's a terrible change, since "they" is plural and seems to refer to the group. It's a low quality PR.

And likewise, you can choose to not associate all the particular rituals surrounding the practice of any particular denomination of Christianity with Christianity itself.

Like, at its core, all it says is that there's one god, and he was his own kid, who died, and there's an afterlife, and you should live well.

Yet, I don't think you'd say that Christianity doesn't have rituals, even if no particular instantiation of it has the same rituals as any other one.
Think about all the high volume processes in the enterprise world with a expensive human fallback. Llm are great after the process and before the human to reduce tasks routed to the fallback.

Think about all human involved in producing unstructured document that people have to read like public councils, court of laws, teachers or other evaluators. Llm can be given a relevancy metric and flag content so that those in need of or waiting for a certain information aren't drowned in noise

Llm are unlocking digital transformation in sectors that have been historically resistant to it, and because they are goal driven they do it with minimal programming, just a few good prompts and a data pipeline.

And it's just the tip. They don't get tired, they don't forget nor omit, they are absolutely bonkers to find relevant products and services given a database a need and a set of preferences and they will transform how the next generation will make purchasing decisions, travel decision and all these opinion based choices.

And while llm are likely not the path to agi and they will cap out in capabilities at some point, they are coming down in price super fast, which will propel adoption even for those cases where other options would be more sensible, just because of the sheer convenience of just asking them to do stuff.

I wholly agree with you on this one. Windows has its fair share of issues, but Windows Explorer feels like peak file browsing to me.

For MacOS I can recommend Forklift [0]. I've been using it for years and it is a bit closer to the Windows Explorer way of doing things. Does what it is meant to do. Affordable. No nags. Gets out of the way. Not perfect, but soooo much better than the horrific experience that is Finder.
