>Altman sounds like someone who has no idea about the industry.

I think it also sums up a lot about what I am seeing from software developers in general. Very little understanding of hardware. And even more so about hardware industry itself.

It depends what you mean by extinct.

I can't think of any actual computer outside of embedded that has been single core for at least a decade. The Core Duo and Athlon X2 were released almost 20 years ago now and within a few years basically everything was multicore.

(When did we get old?)

If you mean that single core workloads will be extinct, well, that's a harder sell.

I feel something similar, even though I never had a lesson like you did. I feel like I must be completely immune to gambling addiction because the thought that I could walk out of a casino with more money than I came in with is just unimaginable to me.

Perhaps if you define evil as a low quantity of ability or commitment to search for and act in accordance to what is ultimately true then that will better resonate with you. Of course, that will necessarily lead to questions regarding the nature of truth and whether it exists, but that is beyond the scope of a short reply :)

environment: KVM VMs running on physical hardware managed by us.

we have a belt & suspenders approach:

* backups of selected files / database dumps [ via dedicated tools like mysqldump or pg_dumpall ] from within VMs

* backups of whole VMs

backups of whole VMs are done by creating snapshot files via virsh snapshot-create-as, rsync followed by virsh blockcommit. this provides crash-consistant images of the whole virtual disks. we zero-fill virtual disks before each backup.

all types of backups later go to borg backup[1] [ kopia[2] would be fine as well ] deduplicated, compressed repository.

this approach is wasteful in terms of bandwidth, backup size but gives us peace of mind - even if we miss to take file-level backup of some folder - we'll have it in the VM-level backups.

Up to date Rust bindings for LMDB
not sure why all the existing crates have gone so far out of date. i feel like generating bindings isn't that hard if you've done it before but can be a blocker for people who haven't so maybe this will help.

some of the existing crates had the -sys suffix but it didn't seem like they were actually checking for it on the system (i'm not sure that LMDB is installed by default on most systems anyway?) so opted to not use it.

chose to keep the version in step with LMDB (current looks like 0.9.70 in the lmdb.h).

will regenerate anytime i become aware of a version bump for LMDB.

Databases have their normal backup tools, which are fine for the data. Important intense-load databases can have one-way replication set up to a separate box that can do proper point-in-time backups without slowing production. Raw (uncompressed) backup data would be efficiently turned into incremental / full backup mix with something like Restic or Kopia, and shipped to something like Backblaze or S3 Glacier.

Configuration and other stuff lives outside the VMs, in some git repo, in the form of terraform / saltstack / shell scripts / what have you, that can rebuild the VM from scratch, and does it regularly. Git has very good built-in "backup tools".

How is any error rate, no matter how small, acceptable when it comes to locking people up for the rest of their lives?

That is because the ban was universal. In Italy they only banned advertisements.

I have no particular opinion on the matter — though, full disclosure, I did join the mailing lists of both groups when I was trying to start a Master’s degree program and found the resulting messaging and an AI safety study group in particular sufficiently high-noise and ill-considered that I unsubscribed — and would point you at the “controversies” section of Wikipedia on EA, but “it seems pretty reasonable so far” and “as far as I can tell [xyz] isn’t a cult” are pretty classically things someone just entering a cult would say.

That's the entire reason people are so pissed, and what TFA is about. WordPress.org is supposed to be part of the foundation, one that has a charitable purpose to support the WordPress community. It's fine to argue WP Engine was a bad community member, but cutting off access to WPE customers (after demanding payment to Automattic) looks exactly like extortion.

Matt has shown he simply can't be trusted to keep his roles as head of WordPress Foundation and Automattic CEO independent.

After a decade, differences in your body will mostly be because you are 10 years older.

Such experiments are largely pointless because the only people doing them are people who care about their health. You are more likely to be healthy because of the totality of your life choices, not the specific things you do in the diet experiment.

I think you have a very good point, and I agree to the most part.

My overarching objection is that such laws are simply lazy. That laziness is infringing on people's liberties. Cigarettes are a good example, they shouldn't be outright banned as we both agree, but second-hand smoking should be banned as it affects others. I would even go as far as to say smokers should have higher premiums for the rest of their lives (I was one myself) when it comes to health insurance and such deliberate mishandling of your body might even cost you priority treatment for anything subsidized by the public. I am not against consequences at all.

I think like many legal issues, it boils down to what is "reasonable". If a "reasonable" person would find that possessing a nuke is an immediate danger to the public then of course possessing one doesn't amount to the government interfering in private lives. That is not the same as gambling and drug use, where the reason for restricting them is not an immediate concern of danger but an indirect and probabilistic anticipation of harm to others, which even if true, there are many other steps that can be taken to disincentivize or punish potential harmful interactions without outright restricting those things.

For example with drug use, it should only be allowed under medical supervision, when used outside of your own property. And as I stated earlier, gambling is bad financial decision making, so the fact that you are gambling and the details of your gambles should be made very public, so that others can steer clear of you as needed. It shouldn't be possible for a person to use a joint bank account to fund a gamble (to protect spouses and families), spouses should get notifications when their other half is gambling,etc.. That's hard and specific law making, instead of the lazy and unjust law making we have today.
EA is a way for wealthy and powerful people to feel good about being wealthy and powerful. It's a tool to resolve the cognitive dissonance of them taking a bigger share of the national pie while others are struggling to survive, by saying "See? I give back!"

Like many other "rich people" movements of the past, it comes with a veneer of logic and altruism, but is ultimately self-serving and does nothing to resolve the wealth inequality problem (which is what the rich feel guilty over and need to salve their conscience somehow). In the old days, the poor would just rise up and kill them. We'd get around this problem by redistributing wealth (pot latch, jubilees, etc) but we don't have this anymore, thus the many philanthropic movements that target a specific tiny thing rather than the fundamental problem (which would threaten their wealth).

It gets flagged on HN because this whole thing already played out over the past 10 years, so we're over that.
> (4) This section does not apply to any of the following:

> (C) Any digital good that is advertised or offered to a person that the seller cannot revoke access to after the transaction, which includes making the digital good available at the time of purchase for permanent offline download to an external storage source to be used without a connection to the internet.

I can imagine e.g. Amazon arguing that kindle books can be downloaded to kindle devices and phones, and so they apply to this exemption. However, the downloads are only usable through their software, so they technically maintain their ability to revoke access because of that.

Wonder if they'll keep their "Buy now" button on kindle books product pages.

I think this is a false dichotomy between the state and private industry.

The morals of society is directed by culture. The state does not and never have a monopoly on culture, because culture is embedded.

If a culture is against gambling, you need no regulation/laws at all. The daoist would argue that the need to have strict laws on behaviour is due to a deviant culture. As an aside the legalist argues that humans are evil, fickle and morally corrupt by default and need strict laws.

I'm just making shit up, but perhaps an Abrahamic culture needs salvation, thus it needs outlets of sin so that it generates demand for people to be saved.
That's one thing. I've made dozens of others. So call it 150% if that's how we're doing it.

I see "Buy now" on Amazon kindle book product pages.

Your point is true, though. It's not all that common to use those words. I thought at least the checkout page would, but I'm seeing "Place your order", which is pretty apt for both purchasing and licensing.
For people who really care about open source, this is not.
A total ban ... on legal gambling ... would likely lead to at least some increase in illegal gambling, which of necessity allies itself to organised crime.

That's not an iron-clad argument, as legal gambling can still have mob ties, and tacit permission of some illegal gambling might still permit some level of oversight. And of course, legal gambling doesn't ensure reasonable or effective oversight or regulation.

By establishing known, legal, and possibly even bettor-favourable facilities or systems, gaming becomes something which might have some level of oversight. The increase in online gambling does severely cut into this argument though.

Another challenge, in the U.S., comes in the form of reservation casinos which can operate independently of other state prohibitions on gambling, which means that total eradication is at the very least difficult.

But that is an argument which might be made in answer to your "why not just..." question.

(I'm generally not a fan of gambling in any of its various forms. I'm cognisant of its pervasiveness and some of the worse aspects of it.)
> Where you want to be able to do all work on background threads and just move data back and forth from the coordinating ui thread. JavaScript’s lack of support here, outside of a native language compiled into emscripten, is one reason web apps are so hard to make jankless

I thought transferring array buffers through web workers didn’t involve any copies of you actually transferred ownership:

worker.postMessage(view.buffer, [view.buffer]);

I can understand that web workers might be more annoying to orchestrate than native threads and the like but I’m not sure that it lacks the primitives to make it possible. More likely it’s really hard to have a pauseless GC for JS (Python predominantly relies on reference counting and uses gc just to catch cycles).
Is this actually related to the recent exodus? Apple is paying OpenAI nothing for use of their model on iPhones. Maybe they just realized being able to get away with paying nothing is a sign of how commoditized models will be.
Most companies have this problem, devs logging credentials all the time. Many web frameworks have a log all then blacklist mentality which leads to soo many mistakes. ex ruby on rails etc.
It's worth mentioning that the simulations and results were done by and judged by LLMs. It makes sense to me that LLMs would come up with responses that other LLMs think is the most logical.
> 7. Trademark law also does not allow competitors to claim joint ownership over a single mark. The purpose of a trademark is to identify a single source of goods and services.

I'm baffled how this was ever allowed in the first place. It's like Marvel and DC went to the trademark office and said "Yes! We'd like to collude to prevent any other competitors from using these terms." and the trademark office was like "Collusion it is! Have a nice day!"
What you’re describing is basically using MPI in some way, shape or form. This works, but also can introduce a lot of complexity. If your program doesn’t need to communicate, then it’s easy. But that’s not the case for all programs. Especially once we’re talking about simulations and other applications running on HPC systems.

Sometimes it’s also easier to split work using multiple threads. Other programming languages let you do that and actually use multiple threads efficiently. In Python, the benefit was just too limited due to the GIL.

Or you could use "first amendment" to refer to the first amendment and I can continue using the term that predates it and is referred to within it to mean what it means.

I really do not get why "it's okay if a corporation takes away our rights" is such an important point to you that you are enforcing your vocabulary in service of it. It doesn't cohere for me when you suggest it's a right worth fighting for, but if anybody other than the government takes it away from you it's just a preference.
This cuts both ways. The last major revision of SAML predates the iPhone by several years. Things like PKCE, which are essential for security on mobile devices and in other cases don’t exist at all in SAML, yet the same attack vectors apply (plus a boatload more).

I really wish that OIDC / Oauth(orization) would be less confusing from user experience and security perspective.

What I have in mind - I'd say only very small population understand that OIDC / Oauth(orization) is about granting access to a service to access your data. Meaning once you have approved service (lets say Dropbox), now Dropbox can access your data on your google account (this of course depends what exactly dropbox asked and if you clicked on "approve", but most people do click as they want to login to Dropbox via their Google account).

SAML is better, as it can be defined at Google side what data is being sent to DropBox when Single Sign On happens and DropBox cannot access your google data as it sees fit.

SAML ain't perfect either because there's no practical way to "sign me out everywhere"
I wrote a tool to automate this. I point it to DB and folders I want backed up, it automatically takes backups, encrypts and uploads to R2, and verifies it both automatically and on demand.

It only takes a few people not prioritizing 1 CPU testing at any layer to make your 1 CPU container much worse than a 2 VCPU container limited to a 1 CPU average.)
