Is there somewhere where someone new to the ecosystem can get a simple introduction to all of these different terms and which ones are still relevant today? I looked into .NET somewhat recently and came away with the apparently mistaken impression that Mono was how .NET did cross-platform. I guess I must have been reading old docs, but I'm pretty sure they were at least semi-official.

Is there good documentation somewhere for getting set up to develop with modern .NET on Linux?
Those “known deposits” don’t include seawater, which is another giant source.

It shouldn’t matter anyways, surely fusion will be here sooner rather than later…and possibly LENR.
See ‘docker container commit’ [0]

> Create a new image from a [running] container's changes

You might then be able to run ‘docker image history’ [1] to get the changes, which you might be able to write into your own Dockerfile [2]

but I’ve never tested this workflow because the best practice is just to write a Dockerfile first

The tool (docker) was designed in a specific way, learn how to use the tool’s workflow instead of wishing for a different workflow and you’ll have a much easier time.

[0]: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/container/commi...

[1]: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/image/history/

[2]: can’t remember how docker tracks internal container file system changes and whether the history command will pick them up

Edit — see sibling comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41371867 — basically… learn to build a dockerfile (they’re very simple and easy once you know how).
Plenty of mechanical engineers can’t swing a hammer very well.
you can but it's not recommended because it's basically impossible to audit changes made and is unrepeatable

Ive been fixated on the domesticated raccoon idea since I was a child and the disease reservoir problem is what really killed the fantasy for me.

Roundworms and they’re also a reservoir for rabies. It would be impossible to prevent the domesticated raccoons from interacting with local wild raccoons, so there really isnt anything that can improve the situation.

Its worth noting about 60% of infectious diseases are zoonotic, and every additional domestic species increases the routes existing viruses can take to evolve into infecting humans. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8808746/
This is an expected consequence of American hegemony. When so much of our culture is imported from America, we end up feeling American. To a degree, what happens in America really does affect our lives, even more than what happens in Canada in many cases. When everybody around you is focused on American issues and American politics, they start to vote based on these imported ideas and make them Canadian ideas.
It was definitely nothing fancy, but I found it hurtful. But maybe I just have sensitive teeth. I do get my teeth professionally cleaned every 6 months, but this is also nothing I look forward too.
For WiFi you should really try bhyve with pass through to an OpenBSD guest. I get wifi speeds comparable to what I got with Alpine(wifibox), but a much nicer environment. Not particularly difficult to setup or maintain.
I'm from culture where tips don't generally exist, at least for common folks. Waiters are paid >=minimum wages, and most don't like pocketing cash at work.

You can just call any of staffers and make orders, around here, in most casual restaurants. You don't have to wait for your waiter to come back around, the guy carrying that platter of steaming hot lobster has his wireless POS tablet that works for any table and he'd be tsk happy to take your orders because he's paid only by hours and not stealing his colleagues' income by doing so.

In restaurant owner's perspective, it makes waiters way more scalable, easier to overcommit, and also reduces loss of sales from I/O timeouts; any workers can notice empty glasses and collect upsells. To waiters, it gives more stable source of income, which may or may not be plenty, but stability is always nice. To customers, it works like mentioned above.

Isn't this better use of everyone's time?
No, I think they believe the alternatives are far worse.
I've never worked full-time since I was 16 but never a job where tipping was the norm (I'm in the US) so maybe I'm missing something obvious but isn't a stable income preferable? And where is the assumption coming from that doing away with tips invariably requires making less money?
Which is weird because their PM is such a clown already.
That amount of storage would not be built because it would literally never be required.

It leads to some unusual cross currents. A few years back following the Canadian trucker protests, some of the defendants cited their "First Amendment rights":

Tamara Lich, the Alberta woman whose GoFundMe campaign raised over $10 million for the convoy, and her husband had their day in court—and Dwayne Lich said he was innocent, because: “Honestly? I thought it was a peaceful protest and based on my First Amendment, I thought that was part of our rights.”

The judge then asked, “What do you mean, First Amendment? What’s that?”

(The First Amendment is part of the U.S. Constitution, not the Canadian Charter)
Testing and application are the same.
Falcon Heavy, fully expendable, can send about 15,190kg to TLI (Trans Lunar Injection). The Saturn V sent about 48,600kg to TLI.

The current SLS can send about 27,000kg to TLI, and block 2 is expected to send between 43,000kg and 47,000kg to TLI.

Could the Falcon Heavy be used on a multi-part moon mission? No doubt, but it's not in the same weight class as SLS.

You are thinking of Rotor. FWIW, I also feel as if Portable.NET--which was rebranded at some point to DotGNU when I think it was even donated to the FSF--had predated Mono in functioning?

The Mono website has an archive of an old mailing list post which at the time talks about even-older origin of the project. It is (of course) heavily biased for Mono, and hilariously gives me an awkward shout out ;P.

Absolutely nothing said here is "trying to suppress discussion" or "suppress legal speech". He's sharing his personal opinion on Canadian media consumption habits, which - I suggest you read the Bill of Rights? - he's completely free to.

(that said: I believe he said this in Canada, where the Bill of Rights isn't applicable. We have a similar-but-not-the-same right to freedom of expression enshrined in our Charter, though.)
> Was there something fundamentally wrong with women 50 years ago that we "fixed"?

Women used to be pregnant or with a lot of small kids for most of their early adulthood, that changed about 50 years ago with hormonal contraceptives.

Edit: I wouldn't say that either way is wrong here, but hormonal contraceptives and hormonal medicines in general is certainly a very fundamental change to a human.
Most of the information about this is in this PDF (I hate when people publish interesting information exclusively in PDFs): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/DisTrO/main/A...

I converted it to Markdown (using Gemini 1.5 Pro) and pasted it into a Gist here: https://gist.github.com/simonw/46a33d66e069efe5c10b63625fdab...

From the abstract:

> Training large scale neural networks typically involves sharing gradients between all accelerators, which necessitates specialized, high-speed interconnects. To address this, we introduce DisTrO, a family of architecture-agnostic and network-agnostic distributed optimizers that reduces the inter-GPU communication requirements by four to five orders of magnitude without relying on amortized analysis, enabling low-latency training of large neural networks on slow internet bandwidths with heterogeneous networking hardware.

This could be a HUGE deal.

Currently if you want to train giant LLMs you need a big pile of GPUs in the same location as each other due to the amount of information that needs to shuffle between them during training.

If DisTrO works as intended, it will be possible to train models using GPUs in different places - potentially enabling SETI@home style training where thousands of people with gaming PCs at home could donate their GPU time to a large training effort.

Their tweet about this has more: https://twitter.com/NousResearch/status/1828121648383566270

> Nous Research is proud to release a preliminary report on DisTrO (Distributed Training Over-the-Internet) a family of architecture-agnostic and network-agnostic distributed optimizers that reduces the inter-GPU communication requirements by 1000x to 10,000x without relying on amortized analysis, and matches AdamW+All-Reduce in convergence rates. This enables low-latency training of large neural networks on slow internet bandwidths with heterogeneous networking hardware.

> DisTrO can increase the resilience and robustness of training LLMs by minimizing dependency on a single entity for computation. DisTrO is one step towards a more secure and equitable environment for all participants involved in building LLMs.

> Without relying on a single company to manage and control the training process, researchers and institutions can have more freedom to collaborate and experiment with new techniques, algorithms, and models. This increased competition fosters innovation, drives progress, and ultimately benefits society as a whole.
One, CGI scripts are run as a separate process, so running valgrind on the web server won't get status about the CGI program. Two, it would probably generate a ton of output not related to the CGI program even if it did work. Three, the CGI program wasn't crashing, it was to check for memory errors.

Some lightnings in Japan are being picked up by detectors in the US' east coast, or detector in New Zealand picking up a lighting in North Africa.
I didn't make myself clear I think. You mention that you love Captain, and wish you had access to it when migrating away from CircleCI. I'm interested in understanding the specific reason(s) for your love for Captain's features, that seem to also be available in CircleCI?
The Oral-B app was fun a few years ago when it was fairly lightweight, showed an up-to-date current world events news feed, while logging data into apple health and encouraging a brushing streak. Then they rewrote the entire app and it lost almost all of those features. I never opened the app once after the first run after the upgrade. Really makes me wish for an iOS app store that would allow installing older versions, like testflight does (up to 90 days only, unfortunately). Maybe it's time to break out a BLE sniffer... although I'm sure getting a HealthKit entitlement for a one-off unlicensed adhoc app is impossible :(

They did publish all (or a sufficient subset of) the data, most schools do publish that and break it down by gender, and you’re wrong.

I recognize the hurry to get a comment in, but an appeal to ignorance instead of googling it and using what you find to shape your opinion really sells yourself short, and diminishes the discussion to follow.
Oh wow so you write fancy crud apps on the web? I've already got 300 people who can do that in C# (.net core) already. Why do I need any Rust people?

There won't even be any pushback from department analysts and lawyers, since they'll all have been replaced by loyalists.
This is good news! I have been using both Sonnet 3.5 and Gemini. I believe that despite Gemini is not as good as Sonnet but Gemini Flash is way cheaper.
A counter point to your assertion is that more sources are better, if they are not all saying the same thing and being controlled by the same few owners. Which in today's world, in the west, most certainly are. Many years ago the news was covered from multiple angles so even with few sources I felt I was getting more insight to the story due to different perspectives.

Honestly due to the deluge of news I feel people today are more opinionated, less informed, easier to manipulate/deceive via controlled narratives, and have way shorter attention spans. The quality of journalism is so far gone it is laughable, so having more of a bad thing doesn't make it better imho.
Wow. Thanks for digging.

I agree that there is a contradiction in the moderation: on the one hand, you get moderated if you update a question/answer ("because it has to reflect the situation of the author when it happened"), and on the other hand you get moderated when you ask a similar question ("duplicated").

I find it okay to not update the answers: just like a blog post or a newspaper article, I find value in being able to say "this person had this problem in 2012, and this other person provided a fix also in 2012". But then it should be fine to ask the exact same question a couple years later if one expects a different answer. And it should not be marked as a duplicate. If anything, it could be marked as a duplicate after the answer is accepted, if it turns out to be the same (and if the new question has no value). But in reality, when I am stuck on a problem, I don't mind checking 5 similar answers. It's much better to have to find a solution from 5 similar questions than to not find it at all because it was moderated away.

Also it would keep people engaged: the current policy means that for some topics, it's very hard to contribute questions/answers because there are so many already. But in reality, many of the existing ones are more than 5 years old! If people could repost similar questions and get points for answering them (instead of being flagged as "duplicate"), it would probably keep the community more engaged.

And Wine will probably not do much more than maintenance so applications targeting .net 1-4 work on Wine.
Mono also supports winforms. I don't think they're supported in dotnet (but there's libraries for Gtk, although you could also use Vala with a bit extra effort).
Completely eliminating the separation between RAM and compute is how FPGAs are so fast, they do most of the computing as a series of Look Up Tables (LUTs), and optimize for latency and utilization with fancy switching fabrics.

The downside of the switching fabrics is that optimizing a design to fit an FPGA can sometimes take days.
It is a great challenge to uncover a much-needed insight - human satisfaction level - rather than compare the numbers on leaderboards for different LLMs.

But this isn't a company with a small amount of customers. If you have a hundred adapters, and a thousand customers, your development costs per customer should be lower than DIY could reach.

Especially because you really know what you're doing by the time you write that tenth adapter, so each one is higher quality and much faster to make.

In the analogy, yes you could write a vector implementation in an afternoon. But if 50 other devs do the same thing, and then we add on all the debugging time, it starts to look like they're putting in more work than the big generic centralized version took.
Great! It’s great that sometimes software continues to work. If only that was always the case.

That is for the cities though. It's significantly lower for towns. They have their own infrastructure issues, but the option to move is still there. Seeing how hard it is to get some jobs/repairs done within a few days and based on job postings, it looks like there's work opportunity too.
While this, and of course antibiotic tolerance in bacteria is a concern, it doesn't validate that Raccoons should be shied away from domestication. All it would mean is, if it comes to this, killing all cats and dogs.

1. He got arrested, not prosecuted yet.

2. A big reason why he got arrested is because there was evidence of illegal activity happening, and authorities submitted request for information, and he refused. Companies like Meta will 100% comply with legal requests for information about illegal activity on their platform.

3. You cannot have a decentralized system that "gives the power to the people" if you still have central servers where information is stored or goes through.
I've been using this for years. It's very useful in the summer season for hiking. There's an Android app that lets you configure alert if there's a lightning strike nearby. IIRC you could also buy their detector hardware and join the network to help improve accuracy.

Further, it is worth pointing out to the Americans in the audience, Canada's freedom of expression isn't anywhere near as blanket-permissive as the US. That's before you get to the Notwithstanding Clause.

Other people have pointed out that "American news" also displaces local news in the states, but it's worse than that: this stuff you see on CNN isn't actually about the important events going on in the world, it's an entertainment product engineered from a mishmash of urgent-sounding background music, very serious faces and sound bytes selected to compromise between sounding interesting, and supporting a pre-selected story arc. In other words, "American news," displaces all real news, anywhere.
I always liked TAL, it kind of made sense to me that the templating engine itself understands the syntax of the language you are templating. It ought to be impossible to write invalid HTML/XML. It's like the pain you get into when templating YAML with jinja, but if the YAML template also were itself a valid YAML file it would be much cleaner imho.
