The IO through fuse-overlay is performance limiting though. It's almost half the speed as overlay directly for layers with many tiny files.

Note that Linux allows you to mount overlay within a user namespace if you are root within the user namespace.

In other words, if you are root within a container; even though it is not root on the host; Linux accepte ton mount overlay filesystems (most filesystems are not allowed). `man user_namespace`
I am also US based applying to exclusively US-based jobs. I've had the most success with Who's Hiring over all of the other ways (cold applications, network referrals, headhunters and whatnot), success rate being way higher than the others: for just a handful of positions I've been interested in I've had three offers, two for FTEs and another for a contract. My skills and background have been pretty well-matched to postings, almost exactly what they were looking for, but extremely deep in specific (increasingly hard to hire-for) areas.

I'll admit I've been super lucky here. It's almost like a cheat code because you're almost always connected with the person(s) actually doing the hiring and with the power to make the decision so things move fast.
Sure but it's long standing that Amazon considers stock appreciation as part of your compensation and if it exceeds the targeted appreciation they'll decrease your future compensation so it even outs.

To avoid doing any real math. Assume you get $100 and a targeted appreciation of 15% and the stock appreciated 30%. Then they're going to drop future compensation by $15 to even things out. This may feel unfair but its pretty well stated ahead of time (although who really understands RSUs out of college).

You are confusing «measuring the winner» and "establishing the winner".

And making the "measurement" a reflection of the "establishing procedure" in fact voids the meaning of said measurement. Intrinsically it was there; by reducing it to the establishing procedure you have simply voided a meaning you do not see.

(But more to the issue, your parallel with "scientific experiments" requires much more justification.)
A piece of advice I heard many years ago was to not be afraid to throw away code. I've actually used that advice from time to time. It's not really a waste of time to do a `git reset --hard master` if you wrote shit code, but while writing it, you figured out how you should have written the code.
I'm thrilled to introduce MSN2, a mock programming language designed to push the boundaries of community-driven development and collaborative evolution. MSN2 began as a personal experiment, but over time, it’s become a platform for language enthusiasts, programmers, and innovators to contribute and shape it together. Built on Python, MSN2 leverages Python’s robustness while adding a unique layer of cross-language syntax that supports inline code from JavaScript, Java, and C—offering broad versatility for developers from diverse backgrounds.

What sets MSN2 apart is its openness to user contributions. I’ve prioritized ease of implementation for new features and customizable syntax, allowing the community to explore novel ideas, improve the language, and shape its direction based on real-world needs and feedback. The goal? To build a language that grows with its community and empowers users to have a hand in its evolution.

I've also created resources to support contributors, including a VSCode syntax highlighting extension, documentation, and tutorials. Whether you're interested in experimenting with syntax or adding features, MSN2 is built to be accessible to all skill levels, and I’d love to have you involved!
S/Sed/Ed
Yeah but the people implementing it are prob more interested on you moving to VS, so there a slighty conflict of interest, I appreciate their work but I also a bit sceptical and think this is the main reason behind it. 6yo is a lot of time for such an important feature. They dont they to support it on all compilers/frontends in order to release it.
It doesn't take much to recognize a sequence of chess moves. A regex could do that.

If what you want is intelligence and reasoning, there is no tool for that - LLMs are as good as it gets for now.

At the end of the day it either works on your use case, or it doesn't. Perhaps it doesn't work out of the box but you can code an agent using tools and duct tape.
You can fast-forward with a DVR.

Global Grist: How ANCT and the open source community helped translate Grist
No doubt it has been misused at some point or another, but shadow banning in the context of online communities is generally a last-resort defense against the very worst and most prolific trolls. Not someone who accidentally breaks forum etiquette one time.

A person who is shadow banned generally continues their antisocial behavior in the face of multiple warnings and reprimands. I don't see it as cruel. I see it as defending the community against those who get pleasure out of trying to wreck it. It's effective because the bannee is generally too dim to realize what has happened to them until they get bored and go away.
Elon likes to weigh in on all sorts of matters outside his domain, such as UK or Italian politics. He's a classic example of intensity matching. Building rockets and cars doesn't transfer to credibility on non-scientific matters.
Yes it doesm even with rootless. We are using it in prod.
Hopefully the Keycloak thing will spur more competition. I looked at some alternatives and settled on Keycloak because it was "obviously" the mature and hardened solution.

Well, clearly not.
If that's what it does, then it's "cheating" in the sense that people think they're interacting with an LLM, but they're actually interacting with an LLM + chess engine. This could give the impression that LLM's are able to generalize to a much broader extent than they actually are – while it's actually all just a special-purpose hack. A bit like putting invisible guard rails on some popular difficult test road for self-driving cars – it might lead you to think that it's able to drive that well on other difficult roads.
Don't get caught in the superficial analysis. They "understand" things. It is a fact that LLMs experience a phase transition during training, from positional information to semantic understanding. It may well be the case that with scale there is another phase transition from semantic to something more abstract that we identify more closely with reasoning. It would be an emergent property of a sufficiently complex system. At least that is the whole argument around AGI.
The sad decline of on-the-job-training
Eh, for all the talk about a generation, this feels like it could apply to every generation on social media. Doesn't matter whether they're boomers or generation X, millennials or generation z or generation alpha, they've often withdrawn into echo chambers that reinforce their every belief and lost the ability to think critically about their views (if that was ever a thing before).

But to be honest, something about this article strikes me as either inauthentic or 'off'. Like, it's very light on concrete details or analysis, and written in such a way that it could be applied to whatever group the reader dislikes the most. Admit it, when you read this, who do you think it's talking about? Gen Z with TikTok and Instagram echo chambers? Boomers with Facebook and Fox News? Millennials with Twitter and Reddit and YouTube? Someone else entirely?

The answer is whichever group you're not part of. Or maybe the one you are. It's just so wishy washy with how it's written and so non specific that it feels designed to trigger an emotional response rather than start a debate.
Your wife teaches in a one-room schoolhouse?

If not, then your wife's experience doesn't say anything about how well the Little House/Christmas Story model works.

Indeed, I would go so far as to suspect that this is likely a failure of the "integrate kids no matter what, and force them to learn at the exact same pace, no matter what" style of schooling that has become so ubiquitous in modern society.
a home inspector inspects homes. a veterinarian inspects animals. she does not inspect computers.

you could restrict their software movements to the bare essentials for their work and they’d be happier for it. hell, i’m sure most would be happier with no gui if the interface provided them with only what they need. and most need just a place to create a document, type it in, commit the document, view it, and relay it to storage or another user. then a browser to look things up.

but we live in the age of general-purpose computing where people need to use general programs thoroughly unadapted for their specialized jobs, forcing the user to coordinate multiple contexts, which should really be coordinated by the machine. most jobs could be done with nano and sendmail. add an form input field editor and selector and it’s golden. if something else is needed, it should be one command away.

it’s not for them to inspect computers. it’s for devs and enterprises to create software systems such that the tech-naive user would have no need to ever touch anything outside of what they need.
> user-personalization, feature-gating > what features are shown when you load the home page, dictated by how many times these have been shown before for a given device

I don't see how any of those would suffer if the numbers took seconds to update instead of milliseconds.

We're talking about having updated numbers in milliseconds, right? Not just "the database responds in a reasonable amount of time" because that's been solved many many times over and the article specifically says "this category requires near-immediate access to the current count at low latencies".

> some initial use cases related to interactive titles

Maybe 1 second of latency for a group interaction? That's still orders of magnitude more slack. And I'd expect only moderate accuracy requirements.
Eye tracking is very impressive technology, and foveated rendering is an excellent application, but eye control is poor UX. Yes, I'm saying the emperor has no clothes.

Imagine having a jittery cursor in the center of your vision at all times? If I had a mouse/trackpad working like that it would immediately be replaced but that's Apple's eye control. Imagine scrolling a page and every where you glance there's a spotlighted/popup control or ad? That's Apple eye control utilizing dwell and snap to item.

It's telling that the 'best window' apps/use cases for Vision Pro are video watching and Mac virtual display which has low reliance on eye control during usage. Trying to browse the web with Apple's eye control is a clear regression compared to touch/keyboard/mouse/trackpad only useful as an accessibility feature

"Could you please remind me of historical cases the civil society prevented their rulers waging a war?"

History is a big book, but what I personally witnessed, were the peace demonstrations in France and Germany against the invasion Iraq and in the end we did not take part in that war.

And the Vietnam war was largley stopped because of the civil unrest and demonstrations back at home.

More about democracies, sure, but even dictators have to mind the masses.
I've been thinking about this too so thank you for the recommendation. I like the idea of having his voice and inflections in the way he tells a story that give the information way more depth.

Again, thank you for this recommendation.
I've been looking for something like this! I wasn't expecting to buy stuff from the comments on HN...
So the cost-benefit analysis approach is quite correct - and my personal take is that “surveillance technology” is another way of saying “external accurate memory” - everything I say or do, everyone I talk to and interact with.

We like having dash-cams because they make other peoples bad driving clear to the judge / insurance agent. Something like that for all aspects of your life seems good and that’s just the personal point. Once we start looking at how to aggregate medical data and provide it to researchers - I mean some doctor has come up with stick on Bluetooth ECG monitors - stick on and record for 48 hours.

The problems arise when the data is used unfairly. Look this guys is (social underdog) - we can use the recorded data to prosecute him. That only gets solved when the judges recorded data shows a clear bias … and we live in a fair open democratic society

If we don’t live in such a society then yea, this technology will Almost always have more cost than benefit - but that’s not the technology.
> think or actually “understand” anything

It doesn't matter if that's happening or not. That's the whole point of the Chinese room - if it can look like it's understanding, it's indistinguishable from actually understanding. This applies to humans too. I'd say most of our regular social communication is done in a habitual intuitive way without understanding what or why we're communicating. Especially the subtle information conveyed in body language, tone of voice, etc. That stuff's pretty automatic to the point that people have trouble controlling it if they try. People get into conflicts where neither person understands where they disagree but they have emotions telling them "other person is being bad". Maybe we have a second consciousness we can't experience and which truly understands what it's doing while our conscious mind just uses the results from that, but maybe we don't and it still works anyway.

Educators have figured this out. They don't test students' understanding of concepts, but rather their ability to apply or communicate them. You see this in school curricula with wording like "use concept X" rather than "understand concept X".
Where it’ll surprise people is if they don’t realize it’s using an external tool and expect it to be able to find solutions of similar complexity to non-chess problems, or if they don’t realize this was probably a special case added to the program and that this doesn’t mean it’s, like, learned how to go find and use the right tool for a given problem in a general case.

I agree that this is a good way to enhance the utility of these things, though.
To all those interested in podman, this book by Daniel Walsh is a gem. Highly recommended and it is free.

Web Components Work Great with Htmx
On the one hand, you are totally right, GitHub Actions are the VS Code of automation. People choose them because they are broke, they work well enough, and the average person chooses things based on how it looks. GitHub Actions looks easy, it's cozy, it's comfy, VS Code looks like a code editor, everything has to be cozy and comfy.

On the other hand, considering all of that, you can see why Python would arrive at this design. They are the only other people besides NPM who regularly have supply chain attack problems. They are seemingly completely unopinionated about how to fix their supply chain problems, while being opinionated about the lack of opinions about packaging in general. What is the end goal? Presumably one of the giant media companies, Meta, Google or Microsoft maybe, have to take over the development of runtime and PEP process, but does that even sound good?
Haha these internet fads are great. Especially when you hang out with people who aren’t chronically online.

There was also the bit about gauges and hipsters (which just became the most mainstream). Then there was the fedora hate which I think was the funniest because I knew about it (because I’m chronically online) and then one day I’m traveling through Japan with my friends and the girls are all like “you should try out these hats at this store” and it’s piece for piece exactly what Reddit would hate. But the girls loved it on the lads and I’m married to one now.

It’s like how here people are always like “oh I’d never give X a buck they’re stealing all your data” and then out in the real world people love Google, like adore it. What’s the deal with that?
Unlocking markets: Centering formerly incarcerated voices drives innovation
One-third of Americans have a criminal record — over 100 million people. Yet much of the existing technology and funding directed toward this population has been focused on corrections and monitoring, not solving the problems individuals face in reentry. There is a hidden market here where a community’s employment and economic challenges could be transformed through thoughtful technological solutions.

Resilience Education is tackling this hidden market by leveraging exceptional formerly incarcerated engineering talent to create technology that transforms employment and economic opportunities.
I hadn't realized that SICP covered using lazy streams for calculating pi. That reminds me of this article I read recently about using lazy lists in Haskell to calculate pi by means of a few different algorithms.

I encounter ξ (xi), and also ζ (zeta) a lot. Honestly, when I write them out by hand, I just make a "wild squiggly line" for ξ and a "simplified squiggly line" for ζ.

If I write it out by hand, it's most likely just for my eyes anyway, and I'd type it out on a computer if I'd want others to have a look at it. But even if I gave someone else my handwritten note, I think from context it would be pretty clear what the "squiggly lines" are supposed to be.
Curiously, Moore's law was predictable enough over decades that you could actually plan for the speed of next year's hardware quite reliably.

For LLMs, we don't even know how to reliably measure performance, much less plan for expected improvements.

> Googling for "Math squiggle that looks like a cursive P" is not a very elegant or convenient way of learning new symbol names.

Asking ChatGPT (or the like) is a good solution nowadays though: “The mathematical symbol that resembles a cursive "p" is likely the Weierstrass p, denoted as ℘. […]”

Yeah I keep thinking this - how is Nvidia worth $3.5Trillion for making code autocomplete for coders
Putting forth an idea to an audience without rigorous proof does have intrinsic value.

Further, if said idea implies that the audience is exceptionally good, you don't really need the proof, do you? The value for the audience is obvious :)

>Instead of trying to force genAI tools to tackle thorny issues in legacy codebases, human experts should do the work of refactoring legacy code until genAI can operate on it smoothly

Instead of genAI doing the rubbish, boring, low status part of the job, you should do the bits of the job no one will reward you for, and then watch as your boss waxes lyrical about how genAI is amazing once you've done all the hard work for it?

It just feels like if you're re-directing your efforts to help the AI, because the AI isn't very good at actual complex coding tasks then... what's the benefit of AI in the first place? It's nice that it helps you with the easy bit, but the easy bit shouldn't be that much of your actual work and at the end of the day... it's easy?

This gives very similar vibes to: "I wanted machines to do all the soul crushing monotonous jobs so we would be free to go and paint and write books and fulfill our creative passions but instead we've created a machine to trivially create any art work but can't work a till"
If podman compose would parse env var strings correctly, then it would be on par. Not sure why that hasn’t been fixed but probably because it’s a stepping stone instead of a well thought out replacement.
Well, of course, you can make up hypotheticals. I used to say that you couldn't pay me enough to work in NYC. But of course I didn't literally mean that I wouldn't take FU money for a couple years to work there (not doing anything criminal etc.). But that wasn't going to realistically happen.
damage to whom? Is that who got the the 1.5 billion? the money didnt go to fund deradicalization. It went to 15 people to compensate for the harm that those people specifically suffered.

If you are saying the fine is an appropriate punishment because of harm done to some other people, than that itself is illiberal. That isn't what Jones was on trial for.

That is intentionally giving an excessive penalty because you want to punish them for something else, that certainly wasn't litigated, and may not even be a crime.

Do you understand how people might be uncomfortable with that logic?
I generally don't sleep my macOS machines these days, as hardware has gotten faster and faster, the pain of booting up is less and less. Unless I want to be able to wake on network etc., at least.
Translation: Yes our Legal System allows a prosecutor and 12 jurors to vent their pre-existing highly-biased hatred towards a man to the tune of awarding $1.5 billion to a group of people who were at worst, insulted. Same thing happened to Trump. A bunch of his political enemies are using the Legal System to go after him because of their personal hatred. That's evil, if you ask me.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but it does sound like front/ backdoor metaphor is code for filtering people by the social biases that form much of the personal connections and networks you mention.

one possible option to prevent ghost job posting for visa is to force employers to share the hiring month, salary, qualification and annonymized resume of the H1B/GC employer with all those they interviewed or applied. This will give closure to those applicants that didn't get the job.
