I've always said BC is bullsht and every passing year proves that more correct.

I guarantee they all had BC/DR plans.

I honestly believe the whole thing in general has net negative ROI just because it never works.
Some recommendations:

Shell: Powershell. It takes some getting used to dealing with objects rather than the "everything is a file/string" world of unix/linux but once you adjust to that, it's wonderful.

Toy programming/scripting: Linqpad. Quickly script tools in C#/.Net.

p.s. On file installation, try winget, or possibly chocolatey. Install via command line, and many of the programs support being installed without admin privileges by installing to the user profile.

Also don't be scared to ask your boss / IT department to install things for you. It's their job to provide you the tools you need.

I'd warn against trying to "hold on" to linux by trying to run everything through emulators or WSL2, it'll just add friction when you want to collaborate with colleagues.
Warsaw is surrounded by suburbs and peripheral small towns that have predominantly single family housing which usually have fireplace as secondary heating source and often coal/wood as primary heating source.

If you follow for example air quality in Legionowo (one of Warsaw northern suburubs) since November till March the air quality drops at around 6pm until 6am to the levels compared to most industrial parts of Silesia. This pollution spreads over central areas of Warsaw depending on the winds.
I haven't watched the video in its entirely, but it does feel like single core boost might be the main culprit in this scenario. That actually makes a lot of sense why game servers are the one that's affected the most. Though that makes me wonder about HX CPUs failing, since these SKUs doesn't have TVB, but given Wendell's 10-25% failure rate on all-core load, it does seem like Intel may actually have multiple issues with RPL here. Things definitely doesn't look good.
Yeah, I do have some passing experience with both F# and C#, and since the example code provided by the university was in C#, I kept that code and built on it. But I would have felt better in F#.
Nope. Those model releases only open source the equivalent of "run.bat" that does some trivial things and calls into a binary blob. We wouldn't call such a program "open source".

Hell, in case of the models, "the whole stack to run the software" already is open source. Literally everything except the actual sources - the datasets and the build scripts (code doing the training) - is available openly. This is almost a literal inverse of "open source", thus shouldn't be called "open source".

> the Soviets had a moral obligation to right some of those wrongs.

That is extremely naive indeed to think that Stalin would have any moral obligations to right any of his perceived wrongs.

All the trajectory of his political life suggested he will shoot the survivors, so to say.
Why does this whole space debris "problem" feels like a trumped up, total bs?
AFAIK it used to be common sight in the 90's but they are not allowed to do that anymore. Reasons riders just swap bike at any doubt of issue, then they draft the "team cars caravan".
You’re assuming it’s boolean though. I guarantee all organisations with decent BC would have performed measurably better than those without it, even if both groups had consistent BSODs.

Are you objecting to the formal system breaking down or to the deviation from expected meaning? You could just say something like "to simplify error handling, our programming language uses a 'zivision' operator that behaves exactly like regular division except zivision by zero is defined as zero". Then everyone just goes on to do math as usual, unless there's something inconsistent in the new formalism that makes mathematical reasoning break down.

Given more time, the may well do so.
Yes, my article is pretty much speculation - in the absence of a proper explanation by CrowdStrike. (Now there actually is sort of an explanation, but it raises almost as many questions as before). I don't have data for a first hand investigation, but do cite the investigation by Dave Plummer - which of course also contains quite a bit of speculation.

Whether or not "Rapid Response Content" and "Template Instances" are Turing complete is unclear, but the fact of the matter is that according to CrowdStrike "problematic content in Channel File 291 resulted in an out-of-bounds memory read triggering an exception", so the interpretation of the content is at least fairly complex. CrowdStrike also states that "Each Template Instance maps to specific behaviors for the sensor to observe, detect or prevent", and mentions a "Content Interpreter". Whether it's code or configuration data is not really relevant though, the point is that it's interpreted by a kernel mode driver which did not have sufficient validation of it's "Content" to prevent the crash.

>> In the coming decades, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will need to transport that material to future storage facilities.

>No doubt at great cost, none of which is being factored into current nuclear projects or energy pricing.

This is not correct:

>...Moreover, every commercial nuclear power plant was required to help finance the construction of the federal waste repository. The plants raised funds for this by charging their customers a fee of one one-tenth of a cent per kilowatt hour. Every quarter, money has been transferred from the plant operators into the federal government’s Nuclear Waste Fund (Kacich, 2021). Including interest, electricity consumers have contributed more than $56 billion into that fund, which now generates over $1.5 billion in interest every year (NEI, 2021a; DOE-OIG, 2021).

In reality, burying fuel without reprocessing it would be incredibly wasteful. Really it seems like it would make more sense to store it until the fuel can be reprocessed and some of the more dangerous remaining material burned in a 4th gen reactor. But there is so much fear-mongering about nuclear power I doubt there will ever be a rational discussion of it by politicians in this country.
Why do they insist on using what sounds like military pseudo jargon throughout the document?

You're looking for an implicit interval tree. The key idea is to store sorted ranges and simulate the interval tree via binary search. The best implementation I know of is coitrees: https://github.com/dcjones/coitrees, but you could also roll your own. cgranges is another good implementation: https://github.com/lh3/cgranges

Actual title of the article:

> Elon Musk denies reported $45 million a month pledge to Trump, says he doesn’t ‘subscribe to cult of personality’

From the article:

> “What’s been reported in the media is simply not true,” Musk said. “I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump.”

> The Wall Street Journal first reported on the claim, citing sources “familiar with the matter.” The outlet has not yet issued a retraction or follow-up article altering its reporting.

For those interested in honesty.
They probably knew about it, but not about strict keto diet.
Sounds like the increased difficulty could be addressed with new models and right abstraction layers. E.g., there’s incredible complexity in modern computing, but you don’t need to know assembly in order build a Web app, to reason about architecture, to operate functional paradigms, etc. However, this doesn’t seem to happen in natural sciences. I wonder if adopting better models runs into the gatekeepers protecting their status, tenures, and status quo.
The entire industry has a monopoly problem with the expected set of related interoperability problems. There's no logical reason we should be running so much infrastructure on Microsoft's monoculture.
Not for those that are concerned by this which is the important part.
CrowdStrike does confirm that the data is to blame. "problematic content in Channel File 291 resulted in an out-of-bounds memory read triggering an exception" https://www.crowdstrike.com/falcon-content-update-remediatio... .
I fiddled for a while with DarkReader but found Stylus to be more complete, although one has to spend some time to find or build their preferred dark theme. Also beware that, for reasons I don't understand, activating a theme doesn't deactivate the previous one unless that is explicitly done, which can lead to misleading results.

I am not sure about its budget, but my impression as a user is that its resources are never fully used. At least, none of my jobs ever had to queue.
I doubt that it can compete with the scale of resources that FAANG companies have available, but then again, I also doubt how research would benefit.

Sure, academia could build LLMs, and there is at least one large-scale project for that: https://gpt-nl.com/
On the other hand, this kind of models still need to demonstrate specific scientific value that goes beyond using a chatbot for generating ideas and summarizing documents.

So I fully agree that the research budget cuts in the past decades have been catastrophic, and probably have contributed to all the disasters the world is currently facing. But I think that funding prestigious super-projects is not the best way to spend funds.
Absolutely that’s why substance abuse is very dangerous. I would even append permanent destruction of receptors to the list.

Unlike HS2, the Indonesian high speed train does not attempt to go to the city center. Instead, there is a slow feeder train to get to the terminal on the outskirts of Bandung that takes almost as long as the high speed train itself. So, Asia has not solved this particular problem either.

The main problem with HS2 is that it goes underground through rural areas for political reasons.
oh, alright. thanks!

edit: from OP's comments, the library was already performing the coalescing.

There's Discete Interval Encoding Tree (Diet). The basic idea is that, in a BST of intervals, if an insertion fills a hole of two intervals, they get merged into a single node.

The paper: https://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~erwig/diet/

The underground network was started but scrapped and later erased from history due to the failure (flooding they couldn't fix) of the tunnel under Vistula river - the tunnel still exists, abandoned, with collapsed openings - no idea if the tunnel collapsed in part or not.

I have never liked CrowdStrike. Our IT department forced it on us and it's one of the worst experiences I've ever had.
What I came up with is interval arithemtic. Point is that operations of intervals are lazy (there are two main opeations over set of intervals, union and intersection). When doing one of this two operations, you just provide another view over underlaying data without doing any actual oparation on data.

It turns out doing such algebra, you can use any structure for underlaying representation for set of intervals (it is trivially replacable), and I beleve that using vector would be most efficient.

I do have some protoyping code laying around, let me know if you want to play around with it.

142nd IOC Session Votes for the Creation of the Olympic Esports Games
Laber needs to get off its ass and reorganize this. The way the whole HS2 thing is organised is braindead.

Throwing all the costs for everything from stations to trains into the same semi-private company. Not learning best practices from Japan rail station operation. Building way to many tunnels because of a few braindead Nimbys.

Simply recreate BritishRail, make the railroad public, including things like rolling stock as well. Put HS2 into BritishRail.

Then create a long term rail 2050 plan. HS2 should be fully done, with the original route. This will allow a massive reorganisation of the rest of the network.

Common labor, this are the 5 years to prove yourself.

That's just another assumption you're adding into the ring. I see no reason why UBI would replace disability. It wouldn't even make sense to. They solve different problems.
I hope you are aware the same thing happened on Linux recently.
While I agree that the GNOME Foundation is a private organization that, in practice, has the right to decide who is allowed to participate without talking about that process publicly, that doesn't mean that should be exempted from negative consequences to their collective reputation for exercising that right in a way that makes it appear that they are not a transparent organization and operate as a kind of star chamber internally.

Not only does it go against long-established principles and ideals of our society in a lot of ways, to the point that I think even many proprietary software developers would be somewhat uncomfortable with decisions about justice and punishment taking place behind closed doors (even if they're fine with source code being closed), but it goes against the spirit of open source, which is rooted as a concept in the notion that transparency is good and opacity is harmful.

I am concerned that the idea that victims should have their identities kept private to protect them from harassment is increasingly used as an excuse to punish people suspected of wrongdoing in private proceedings and not disclose much if anything about the evidence or the nature of the proceedings, and instead demanding that the public trust authority figures behind closed doors. That is, transparency and openness seem to be vanishing from society in general, in favor of an emphasis on security and a victim's right to privacy, which means we're back to a system where most proceedings take place behind closed doors. Sure, official legal proceedings might still be open, but almost everything of importance these days happens within the domain of very large private organizations and their regulations, meaning that their internal processes affect us almost as much as laws do in some cases.

I worry not only for the future of GNOME, but also for the future of open source and open societies based on the principles of transparency in general. It's possible that the Internet making everything so connected and causing information to flow so rapidly has made it so that it is too dangerous to be open, and thus freedom and transparency are ultimately being killed by the combination of technology and private ownership favoring authoritarian approaches and unilateral, backroom decision making.
The shopping aspect is approximately useless. It is an awful experience: It seems to be incapable of producing good results, and it is impossible to correct the results without using some manner of computer.

This means that it's a lot like shopping with a [pocket] computer is, but with even more steps.

(Nobody wants this in its present form. It does not fucking work.)

I do enjoy some aspects of having an always-listening device that I can command to do stuff (like play some music, or to turn on a light, or look up some random factoid), but they've made it almost impossible to succeed at using it to do the thing they seem to so-desperately seek: Allowing me to spend my money more freely on Amazon.

The lack of feedback has been an oft cited complaint on so many tech blogs relating their experiences. I haven't seen anything in the way of concrete reasoning; from what I can gather there is little to no incentive within orgs to give actual meaningful, helpful and useful feedback. The org views the interview as little more than an inconvenient interpersonal transaction.

If at the end they find the 'need' has not been met, it seems that it's perfectly acceptable to forget this person and move on, and forgetting that there's a human at the other end. How many of them have been on the other end of the ghosting and forgotten, and how many of us, who have voiced our discontent at the treatment, have similarly ghosted other candidates we've interviewed once we're secure in our positions? There's probably more to it... is there a fear of giving feedback, or is it simply that the people doing the interviewing aren't the ones doing the (canned response) rejections?

I fully sympathize with the author and I've always made it a point to writing up and passing on all the strengths and weaknesses in every candidate I meet, whether they're accepted or not. I have never had a way of telling whether that feedback has reached that candidate though.
When the effort itself loses meaning and cheaters take over, sport/activity receives 0 of my attention since it moves into pathetic amoral category, with little hope for improvement. It doesn't matter whether I do it or not.

One of benefits in my beloved climbing, alpinism, paragliding etc. - even top people there struggle to have good living and thus pros and amateurs alike are in for the actual sport, not chasing sponsors, getting an edge above the rest at all costs. Something about morality, fair game etc. Call me old fashioned if you want, I'll gladly wear that badge with honor (also a word very much applicable in these scenarios).

If the end goal is portability for C, would Cosmopolitan Libc be a better choice because it supports a lot more features and probably runs faster?
Data is the source code here, though. Training code is effectively a build script. Data that goes into training a model does not function like assets in videogames; you can't swap out the training dataset after release and get substantially the same thing. If anything, you can imagine the weights themselves are the asset - and even if the vendor is granting most users a license to copy and modify it (unlike with videogames), the asset itself isn't open source.

So, the only bit that's actually open-sourced in these models is the inference code. But that's a trivial part that people can procure equivalents of elsewhere or reproduce from published papers. In this sense, even if you think calling the models "open source" is correct, it doesn't really mean much, because the only parts that matter are not open sourced.
That's fair, thanks!
