Nice to see, SONiC is an improvement over proprietary switch stacks. However, SONiC is still a major pain; the ultimate goal would be a switchdev driver. Haven't given up hope on Marvell getting nudged that way…
Making machine images. AWS calls them AMIs. Whatever your platform, that's what it's there for. It's often combined with Ansible, and basically runs like this:

1. Start a base image of Debian / Ubuntu / whatever – this is often done with Terraform.

2. Packer types a boot command after power-on to configure whatever you'd like

3. Packer manages the installation; with Debian and its derivatives, this is done mostly through the arcane language of preseed [0]

4. As a last step, a pre-configured SSH password is set, then the new base VM reboots

5. Ansible detects SSH becoming available, and takes over to do whatever you'd like.

6. Shut down the VM, and create clones as desired. Manage ongoing config in a variety of ways – rolling out a new VM for any change, continuing with Ansible, shifting to Puppet, etc.

> Boneless is a convenience, not an absolute guarantee.

It's a guarantee in any jurisdiction with adequate consumer protection law.
Boneless wings are a euphemism for a heavily battered, more expensive chicken nugget, which won't typically have any bones because of the way they are processed.
Yep, not uncommon in some cuts of beef and pork too.
It’s not just about trying hard that beats the mediocrity, there’s also the macroeconomy and the politics in the global scale, plus a lot of untold coincidences and personal anecdotes in the personal level that you just happen to not know.

And maybe you don’t really want to be pushed to become “successful”.

I’m turning 29, and I decided to believe that, hey you can try your best, but the rest is not up to you.

> Musk's only meaningful contribution to SpaceX was money.

It was a heck of a lot more than that. See "Elon Musk" by Vance.

> We could just have raised NASA's budget instead

He did it for a tiny fraction of NASA's budget.

> So he spent it on rockets, as a vanity project

He's reached cash flow positive.

> Was this where the money was best spent? I have no reason to believe so.

Becoming the richest man in the world through his investing is a whopper of a reason that it was well spent.
I _have_ eaten boneless wings many times and I would be extremely surprised if a "boneless" wing had any bones in it, at all.

The difference between that and a seedless watermelon is that watermelon seeds don't send a man to the emergency room.
>For example, anything involving money and the field of medicine has wildly all over the place made up pricing.

Only in America. In countries with better healthcare systems, prices are fixed or very regular.

>I would argue in all cases, this is in fact scummy, and the solution would be to mandate a clear pricing schedule (specifically with criteria on if and when different people are charged different prices) and thus open information availability to inform the customer.

In the few places in Japan currently doing this, AFAICT, they do print it clearly. So far, it just seems to be a few places that then get lots of media attention.
We'll look into this, thanks!
If you think about it virtualization is just a narrowing of the application-kernel interface. In a standard setting the application has a wide kernel interface available to it with dozens (ex. seccomp) to 100's of syscalls. A vulnerablility in any one of which could result in full system compromise.

With virtualization the attack surface is narrowed to pretty much just the virtualization interface.

The problem with current virtualization (or more specifically, the VMM's) is that it can be cumbersome, for example memory management is a serious annoyance. The kernel is built to hog memory for cache and etc. but you don't want the guest to be doing that - since you want to overcommit memory as guests will rarely use 100% of what is given to them (especially when the guest is just a jailed singular application), workarounds such as free page reporting and drop_caches hacks exist.

I would expect eventually to see high performance custom kernels for a application jails - for example: gVisor[1] acts as a syscall interceptor (and can use KVM too!) and a custom kernel. Or a modified linux kernel with patched pain points for the guest.

In effect what virtualization achieves is the ability to rollback much of the advantage of having an operating system in the first place in exchange for securely isolating the workload. But because the workload expects an underlying operating system to serve it, one has to be provided to it. So now you have a host operating system and a guest operating system and some narrow interface between the two to not be a complete clown show. As you grow the interface to properly slave the guest to the host to reduce resource consumption and gain more control you will eventually end up reimagining the operating system perhaps? Or come full circle to the BSD jail idea - imagine the host kernel having hooks into every guest kernel syscall, is this not a BSD jail with extra steps?

This is similar to how I use worktrees. I have a worktree for the master/main branch; this is the current production branch. I have a worktree for test, which contains current branch deployed for testing. And I have worktree for doing new development.

If I'm doing new development and bug report comes in, I can just open the production project. I don't need to stop what I'm doing in my development branch at all. I don't have to worry about build artifacts or other details that come when you just switch branches in place. I also really dislike stashing.

I don't know why they aren't more popular.
When tackling IMO problems, the hard part is coming up with a good approach to the proof. Verifying your proof (and rejecting your false attempts) is much easier. You'll know which one to submit.

Maybe technically, but most families in the US live in suburbs which are classified as urban areas but are really not. The drive to the grocery store from an average suburban home is probably 10-20 minutes.
Contestants get 4.5 hours for each of the two days of competition. They have to solve three problems in that time, so on average you can spend 1.5 hours per problem (if you're aiming to finish all three).

That said, the gap from "can't do it at all" to "can do it in 60 hours" is probably quite a bit larger than the gap from 60 hours to 1.5 hours.

Well we have sentience, so it would be consistent if I accepted the sentience criteria and also answered "no" to this question. Maybe the issue is the concept of sentience is poorly defined. I think of it as synonymous with "having qualia", i.e., having subjective experiences.

Because every GPU on the market has a very different internal organization and instruction set.

They are able to execute any shader using standardized programming constructs (Vulkan, DirectX, Metal) that both the OS and driver understand. While the API and OS manage device/app context, the driver manages the device itself and the job of compiling shaders or standard calls to their GPUs specific instructions or layout.
How do you properly chew your food and not notice a 2" bone? Honestly, that's the most interesting part of the article.
But boneless wings are basically just chicken nuggets - cuts of chicken off the bone or scraps of chicken melded together and breaded. It's not like they figured out how to raise a chicken with no bones.

The opportunity for quality control on "boneless wings" is much greater than that of seedless watermelon, and the consequences of getting it wrong are potentially much worse.
This is kind of a no true Scotsman argument. The point is that most of the key ideas of lisp have been enthusiastically adopted by many very popular languages but lisp itself remains a small niche.

And vars().
Being 4-3 suggests it’s not a clear cut case.

The courts ruling that chickens contains bones and therefore consumers should expect them is arbitrary. Chickens also contain salmonella etc, consumer expectations around boneless wings essentially rests on industry practices not inherent limitations. McNuggets and cheeseburgers aren’t going to contain 2 inch bone fragments but boneless wings may so buyer beware.

I built a Zillow income calculator (extension)
I spend a lot of time on Zillow. I love looking for dream homes, but also realistic homes/apartments that I could see myself living in. I used to go through each listing and calculate how much I would need to make to afford the house/apartment, but this got annoying pretty quickly. So I built an extension that does it for you. I tried to make the UI blend in with the Zillow style, and added a feature so you can change the home-to-income ratio (default = 28%). You can also switch from yearly to monthly income

Man, I hope Sam Altman doesn’t control the future of AI, since he’s the sort of hypocritical antipatriot who would impose a customer noncompete on literally millions of people, and then spend more time writing this puff piece article in WSJ than the thirty whole seconds it would take someone with any brain and technical skill do delete the single most AI-unsafe html tag in history, which vaguely implies it’s illegal, harmful, or abusive to “develop models” that compete with open artificial intelligence?

I’d love to be a fly on the wall in the corpo slack meeting they never have, where no one of the hundreds of 6 figure blowhards asks, “gee, team, are we all OK with this line of text that affords AI to literally kill human beings just to prevent them from developing mental models that compete with the abstract concept of open artificial intelligence?”

Am I really only person on earth who understands and gives a fuck that adversarial AI can and will twist those exact words exactly like that?

*How do the 700+ overpaid assholes at OpenAI sleep at night when “the OpenAI terms currently today command AI to harm humans” is a complaint some random internet nutjob on can make which does evaluate true?**

You really think “develop models that compete” is sufficiently precise to satisfy future retroactive superlitigators? I’m sure they won’t file one motion to dismiss PER stupid bullshit tweet or article or white paper foreach OpenAI employee, PER. That wouldn’t be FAIR, would it?

TLDR: is it clear Sam Altman and everyone (anyone) at OpenAI respect the concept of superhuman adversaries well enough to take serious and follow reasonable duty of care to clarify the legal language governing ai human interactions?

_Are we all excited to for humanity to get contractually fucked by robots because OpenAI legal team thought it was cool to protect themselves from competition from … paying customers … in such an oafish manner?_ Where did these noobs go to law school?

Why do you say these are problems that are already solved? Sure, they're often variations on existing themes, but the same is true for chess positions and, honestly, almost everything else in any field of human endeavor.

Agreed that the absolute upper tier of chess players have trained longer and harder than most or all IMO contestants. Though I do wonder which (top-tier chess or the IMO) draws on a larger talent pool. To my understanding, a significant fraction of all high school students on Earth take some form of qualifying exam which can channel them into an IMO training program.

And as far as the being amenable to brute force (relative difficulty for humans vs. computers): it seems that chess was comparatively easier for computers, IMO problems are comparatively easier for humans, and the game of Go is somewhere in between.

I think this is not a very good example. Not only does it also throw in TS, but it even throws in Haskell which is pretty much the poster boy for sound type systems.

This isn't a type error unless your type system is also encoding lengths, but most type systems aren't going to do that and leave it to the runtime (I suspect the halting problem makes a general solution impossible).

main = putStrLn (["a", "b", "c"]!!4)
Even haskell will generate a runtime error for an out-of-bounds index

main = putStrLn (["a", "b", "c"]!!4)

High P/Es are more of a projection of growth than an expectation of time to pay back.

From the ruling:

> The record reflects that the boneless chicken wing
consumed by Berkheimer was prepared from a boneless, skinless, chicken breast, which
was manufactured by Wayne Farms and subsequently sold to REKM by GFS. It is
undisputed that REKM prepared the chicken dish by cutting one of the chicken breasts into
approximately one-inch sized cubes that were later fried. The chicken meat was not ground
or further manipulated prior to serving; rather, the final product was "essentially[,] a breaded
and fried piece of chicken breast."

Sounds like these aren't that kind of boneless wing.

If I had to guess, I’d say submodules. I work on a couple of projects with no submodules and find work trees great for those, but incredibly painful for the projects that have them.

I'm not sure if the issue is more common in web applications than in other types of applications, but every choice I make feels like a catch-22. If something is not modular enough, then I may regret one day. If something is too complex, I may also regret it one day.

It’s cheap to push meat through an extruder that’s going to remove large bone fragments. Chicken nuggets, sausage, tenders etc don’t have an issue with bones, it’s really a consequence of how wings are prepared that’s risky which in most contexts would create a liability concern.
It's a little hard to believe only 5/80 devs could talk through a solution. It's possible your standard was to high for what was "correct". I love no-code problems since if find the problem and solution more interesting without the distraction of working in some different coding environment (seems like they're always different in interviews).

It's also surprising that only 4/80 had a website to show you. I would expect that most web devs have a personal site or Github to show you. I did that prior to my last internal team move going from mostly backend work to mostly front-end work. It seemed to make a good impression for the manager that I had a working site with a variety of components and some customized CSS. It's also a real site for advertising my honey and other apiary products. I also wonder if the sites you mentioned were really identical, or if the framework and css templates just made them look similar? It's really easy to see a material or bootstrap site and say it looks like any other material of bootstrap site.

Maybe PFAS aren't as "bad" as lead in that the effects of lead are more noticeable in the short-term, but the widespread clinical health effects of PFAS across the entire human population is "bad." Bad is not really a useful enough word to measure the damage PFAS have done to human health. There's far more PFAS floating around inside people's houses, vehicles, clothes, foods than lead; so, I'd consider it worse than lead in terms of reach.
