Looks like my TinyKVM project, except it runs specialized programs instead of regular ELFs? TinyKVM also runs functions, with a fast execution timeout. I proved that without I/O you can essentially run KVM programs with native performance, and sometimes more due to automatic hugepages. I measured LLMs to run at 99.7% native speed using eg. Mistral 7B. For example, the STREAM memory benchmark doesn't use hugepages by default, and so the terminal version runs slower than the TinyKVM version due to hugepage-tables, but of course runs at the same speed once you modify the benchmark to use the same advantage. However, it does require modifying the program.

See: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10475832

I also implemented VM resets using page-table rewrites and CoW memory sharing, so that no memory is shared across different requests. This can be implemented as tail-latency in a cache.

I ended up adding support for most languages. All the systems languages, Go, v8, LuaJit etc. Go was by far the most annoying to support as it uses signals.

> There's a name for seeing the past through rose-colored glasses, isn't there?

> "In the old days" developers had various degrees of skill and care, as they do "in the new days".

Yes, but "various" isn't a fixed ratio. While there have always been unskilled and careless developers, the ratio in the past could have been better and the ratio now could be worse.

Personally I've seen the decline over my career, in my little corner. But I wouldn't attribute it to generative AI, rather:

1. The rise of offshoring ("Why hire a skilled American developer when you can hire ten of the cheapest possible offshore developers instead?"). Skilled and careful developers don't want to get paid the cheapest wages, so this increases the proportion of unskilled and careless developers that you have to deal with everyday.

2. Programming being perceived as a well-paying, desirable job. That changes the kind of people who try to pursue it. When it was seen as mostly the domain of looked-down-on nerds, you got a greater proportion of people who where passionate about it. If it's seen as the last of the good-paying jobs, you'll get more people doing it for the money who don't really like it. This is also a factor in the offshoring situation above.

It's totally plausible that generative AI will accelerate the trends and make them even worse, but the trends didn't start with it.

I still think it's not useful to compare fatalities per billion miles, especially cycling and driving (and especially if that includes highway driving, which is clearly not something you could use a bike for instead).

Iceland had several years with zero or one reported cycling fatalities, I can't find road fatalities quickly but I assume driving is less safe there, especially if I'm allowed to cherry-pick a zero-fatality year (where you'd have 0 fatalities per billion miles cycled).
We're pretty confidently letting AI drive 2 ton metal vehicles on the road, and letting them fly around in the sky with grenades. A farmer-bot with a laser sounds pretty tame to me.

I'm fairly sure he's referring to enumerations actually.

Pascal doesn't require case matching of enumerations to be exhaustive, but this can be turned on as a compiler warning in modern Pascal environments, FreePascal / Lazarus and such.

Go only has enums by convention, hence the "iota dance" referred to. I've argued before that this does qualify as "having enums" but just barely.

It wouldn't have been difficult to do a much better job of it, is the thing.

At the time they announced the image they described some of the extrapolation they had to do to fill in the image [1]. IIRC I saw a talk that described some of the different methods, but I can't find it now. I recall it was about turning few frequency domain points into many spatial domain points and they used multiple different teams with different methods, which gave qualitatively similar results in the end, but my reaction at the time was that it tanked my confidence in the details of the image since I couldn't tell what was data and what was model. A first-of-its-kind-image is exactly the kind of situation where you want to extrapolate very little.

My long-departed grandmother lived her entire life in Grodno, a city in western Belarus on Nieman river. It is a lovely and fertile region with well defined seasons of the year. All kinds of things grow there, mostly temperate weather crops, potatoes, tomatoes, peas, cucumbers, carrots, radishes, cabbages, apples, pears etc. Grandmother was a big believer in child labor so my summer was spent weeding every day. Her herbicide/pesticide were little children hands. I think vinegar was involved too. I think though if she could afford chemicals she would have. Ugh, if I never have to squish colorado potato beetle larvae from the potato leaf, I'll be happy.

You're presumably thinking of the IARC monograph. You can read how the classifications work in their own preamble: https://monographs.iarc.who.int/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/P...

Specifically,

> A cancer hazard is an agent that is capable of causing cancer, whereas a cancer risk is an estimate of the probability that cancer will occur given some level of exposure to a cancer hazard. The Monographs assess the strength of evidence that an agent is a cancer hazard. The distinction between hazard and risk is fundamental.

> The identification of a cancer hazard should trigger some action to protect
public health, either directly as a result of the hazard identification or through the conduct of a risk assessment.

The key thing to recognize here is they are making preliminary assessments of existing lines of research, looking for studies into whether an agent has been associated with cancer in humans, animals, or mechanistically, and characterizing the strength of such evidence, as to whether or not something can cause cancer.

The purpose of doing this is so that other standards bodies can assess the actual dose/response relationship and your probability of getting cancer from levels of exposure. Glyphosate in in group 2A, along with things like being a barber, night shift work, hot beverages, red meat. Lots of things the EPA does not ban.

Why? Because as the organization itself says, hazard does not mean risk. The fact that studies show a robust association between one thing and some increase in cancer incidence, at any dose, does not mean the level of exposure any regular person experiences raises their probability of getting cancer by any meaningful amount we should care about or regulate.

The problem here is you're almost certainly not actually reading the publications of either IARC or the EPA, which are not in conflict with each other. You're reading science journalism, which almost universally presents this in the most misleading, fear-mongering fashion possible to attract eyeballs.
Read the article you are commenting on, these alternatives are mentioned.

I'm sure this will be unpopular, but I think the real problem with Phenylephrine is that it isn't dosed appropriately in standard formulations.

The standard 10mg dose is too low. Decongestants work by constricting blood vessels, which inherently increases blood pressure as a side effect.

Pseudoephedrine at standard doses is known to raise blood pressure slightly. Phenylephrine at standard doses (10mg) shows no such effect (Source https://journals.lww.com/ebp/abstract/2018/03000/how_much_do... )

Phenylephrine does increase blood pressure when delivered by IV at doses that work. The oral 10mg dose just isn't enough to get absorbed and do anything.

It's not that phenylephrine is ineffective, it's that it's underdosed in the oral formulation.
I think the issue is that people don't know what tariffs even are, call it a tax increase and it hits home more.
The point is that different people have different understandings of "cost." You're correct that that kind of cost is what "zero cost abstractions" means, but there are other costs, like "how long did it take to write the code," that people think about.
The problem I found was that nobody wanted to deal with the database after a certain time in the evening. Odds are good you don’t admit you’re coming down with something until after work.

It's the same story in Major League Baseball. The proliferation of alternate uniforms got so out-of-hand that the league imposed a limit of five different uniforms per team last year. Unfortunately, one of those uniforms is the City Connect uniform which is unrecognizable to the extreme for most teams.

I hate it. I want every team to go back to a white home uniform with the team name (or logo like the classic Yankees, Cubs, Tigers), and a gray road uniform with the city name, and maybe one colorful Sunday home alternate worn sparingly.

It's bad enough that the rosters have high turnover every year due to free agency. I've said for a long time that it seems silly to have a favorite team, because you're basically cheering for the uniform (i.e. because the people in the uniform are changing constantly) but now that's not even true anymore.

Show HN: WattSaver for Octopus Energy, smart scheduling for electricity devices
Hi,
I'm a long time lurker, first time poster here. I switched to Octopus Agile in August and found it tricky to schedule my less smart devices to run during cheaper times as i had to calculate when to do so every time. We (we're a husband and wife team) created an app, WattSaver, to help us do this.
You can use the app to find the cheapest time to run any device by telling the app how long the device will run for. We use it to run immersion heaters, dishwashers and washing machines. If your device has a "finish in" or a "delayed start" button, WattSaver will calculate those numbers for you too. You can also put a maximum end time, if you want to ensure your dishes will be clean by the morning for example.
We've estimated we've saved quite a bit over the past 3 months by using a version of this. It's available for all apple devices (mac, iphone, ipad and apple watch). The app's available as a cheap lifetime / outright buy. We're in it for the long haul, our other app (CycleMaps) has been available for over 13 years now.

It's available from the app store here, some more info on our website.
I hope this is useful, we welcome any feedback!

Function operations are possible in Go like it’s possible in any language that define function in the syntax. But functional programming goes beyond functions, and Go was not designed to support it.

The way I like my KDE is probably very unlike how other people like their KDE.

KDE is extremely customizable. A recent update added a floating taskbar (on a new install - upgraded installs keep the old behavior), like everyone else has. However, you can change it easily, and I even discovered some more customizability I didn't know existed. I can have an icon-only taskbar like Windows, or I can have the full title.

Everything in KDE is like that. You can follow the trends, or stick to the tried and true, or come up with your own style.

Its interesting to note I wasn't in tech in 2004, so I went back and started digging around because I honestly don't remember much about that year. I do remember vividly the first dot com bust in 00'-01', but 2004 is kind of a weird year.

Comparing what 20024 feels like compared to 2004 (what I've read), the times are very similar. Lots of contracting. Lots of layoffs and waiting to see if the economy gets better. Lots of companies tightening their belts and right now? I'm not getting nearly the interest from recruiters I did even a few years ago. The few interviews I have taken, the process has become increasingly more complex. It used to be two, maybe three interviews. One screen, one technical and one onsite for "cultural" fit. Now? I just had a company tell me the have SEVEN stages of interviews, including two all day interviews on site. I have no idea why its gotten this crazy, but here we are.

An article from CNN at the beginning of 2004:

https://money.cnn.com/2004/02/09/news/economy/jobs_model/ind...

Confounded by sluggish job growth, some economists are starting to suggest that underlying changes in the labor market -- including globalization -- mean it may be time to throw out the old forecasting models.

If they're wrong, then the current labor market could look a lot like that of the early 1990s -- a "jobless recovery" followed by a job boom. If they're right, then the next job boom could be a long time coming.

The final quote is kind of interesting considering we're 20 years on from 2004:

"The United States has long drawn comfort from the quality differential of its educational system," Roach wrote. "However, in the Internet Age with its ubiquitous diffusion of knowledge, innovation, and technological change, that may turn out to be an increasingly false sense of security."
