JVM Tuning with Machine Learning
The emphasis was on the word technical. The only technical argument I've ever heard against using tabs for indentation only, was that some software text editor a long time ago mangled tabs. In my anecdotal experience with computers plus working with some embedded telco hardware dating back to 2000 and some even earlier, some with rather old or non mainstream OS, I've never ever seen a text editor which mangled tabs. Nor I've never met anyone who seen that happen. Maybe it happened in the mainframe age, but I suspect even that software has been upgraded over time.

Sure, PEP8 an other standards prescribe spaces, and I of course always use industry standards myself too. I'm just saying that there is no technical merit for that demand. The water pipe in the monkey cage has long been shut down. The only reason to demand spaces for indent now is circular - that other standard is demanding them, therefore we need to do the same, and that other standard uses the same circular logic himself.
The FSB is no comparison because it's more equivalent to the NSA—it was a career path, not a place to serve out mandatory military service.

FSB agents worked there for decades and chose that instead of any number of other things they could have done. Unit 8200 conscripts worked there for at most 2 years 8 months and chose it instead of a different, more gun-blazing branch of the military.

Mandatory military service completely changes the profile of the vets in a way that makes all these comparisons totally irrational. They're founded in fear and hatred for Israelis, not any reasonable similarity.
Good designers generally optimize for taste but not for conversions. I have seen so many designs that were ugly as sin that won, as measured by testing. If you want to build a product that is tasteful, designers are the way to go. If you want to build a product optimized for a clear business metric like sales or upgrades or whatnot, experimentation works better.

It just depends on the goals of the business.
Be interesting to go back even further, pre agriculture. The world would be awash with trees.
Crude oil won't disappear off the market if and when people start driving around using other energy sources. The demand will go down a bit which will lead to fewer new exploration efforts but crude oil and natural gas will still be used as an energy source for shipping, transport, aerospace and some power generation as well as in industry. The latter will probably be the last to go, if ever. The market for crude oil will shrink but it will be a very long time (if ever) before it closes up entirely.
I'm hoping for seamless upgrades at some point, like MySQL does it — you install the next major version and restart the daemon. It's completely unnecessary for major operators, but is a life-saver for small businesses, websites that don't need 99.99999% of uptime (i.e. almost all of them), in development, etc.
Impressive, yes. Important? Absolutely. Significant? Not really.

Tech elite currently enjoy disproportionately large benefits from rampantly un-balanced systems that allow them to exploit people for their work and therefore they stand to lose quite a bit from any rebalancing of said systems.

Basically, workers get nothing and CEOs get everything.
10x sound a bit wayward but I get your point.
It's a useful datapoint in understanding the Earth's carbon cycle, but that's all - and it in no way changes the fact that the sum total of current human activity is dragging that cycle out of equilibrium by about 2.5-3ppm per year, or 8-10%ish per decade.

> And gets women out into the workforce after childbirth by having maids.

The gain there sounds a bit risky. The kid still needs a full time caregiver and the amount of time a human needs to put into housework hasn't changed - so there aren't direct improvements.

There is an argument from letting people specialise, but the net change could easily be trading down the quality of the kid's life. Nothing wrong with that in principle but it isn't obviously a net win. Getting kids face-to-face time with a high-status and invested parent has to be worth a lot more to them than time with some maid. Outsourcing child rearing to a sort of capitalist factory farm seems like it could be a big picture mistake.
But if you volunteer someone with the goal of being nice, are you actually being nice or just trying to accrue brownie points? I mean to the beneficiaries of your work it honestly doesn't matter what your motivation is.
I switched to firefox. Then went back to edge. Edge is just… better… once you remove the weird stuff
The second definition is a gentrification of the first definition. They are intrinsically linked and cannot be separated.
I thought I'd read in the past that an uptake in C02 for plants/trees (and therefore faster growing) results in a weaker structure which doesn't stand up to the environment as well as slower growing trees.
Yes, I've tried both.

I've been operating a SaaS since 2021, and have built several apps across many SaaS marketplaces.
Hopefully this makes the Cursor team reconsider security (which doesn't seem very good really).

Stopped using it for serious stuff after I noticed their LLMs grabs your whole .env files and sends them to their server... even after you add them to their .cursorignore file. Bizarre stuff.

1Pass is a perfect example for my argument – v7 was amazing, and native. v8 has weird bugs, like refusing to open despite saying it’s working fine. As to memory, while I forget the consumption of v7, v8 looks to consume somewhere around 130 MB for the app, plus that again for a renderer helper or two, and then the browser extensions.

100+ MB for what is essentially an encrypted local DB with cloud sync and a GUI seems absurd.
After coming across a brief tutorial of mTLS in this tool for locking down access to my family photo sharing [0] I have bounced around the internet following various guides but haven't ended up with a pfx file that I can install in a browser. Can you recommend any resource to understand which keys sign what, and what a client certificate is verified against?

The guides I find often contain the openssl incantations with little explanation so I feel a bit like stumbling through the dark. I realize how much I've taken stacktraces for granted when this auth stuff is very "do or do not, there is no error"

> we could have >10x as many people as we do now.

But with what living standards and quality of life? This would need stringent rationing of everything.

Is our aim to improve living standards and quality of life or to squeeze as many people as possible on the planet even if that means living in a studio flat in a huge tower block with only a daily ration of nutritious yeast and a ban on travelling around or owning too many things?

I'd rather see humanity live in houses with gardens and enjoy life and nature, and be able to see the world, but with 1 billion people on Earth instead of 10 billion.
And in your case, there's probably going to be other people that park somewhere they shouldn't, but... that's their choice and ultimately their moral burden. Like not returning shopping trolleys.
I'm glad the writer is enjoying Firefox, but posts like these make me realize we've forgotten how to use computers.

Built-in screenshot tool? "You don't need to install extensions"! Really? Dude just press Print Screen, it even works outside a browser, if one day you have to be put through the unspeakable torture of using a native application! Single-use burner emails are also nice and all, but why exactly does this have to be linked to my browser?

Of course switching browsers it's gonna be a big deal, when you actively walk out of your way to lock yourself to your browser's "ecosystem", but better Mozilla than Google I guess.
Yeah, this practice isn't in NZ.

Why try and use that context for judgment when a more appropriate one exists?

Mostly on par with Chrome, at least for basic (95%) usage. Although for some cases I switch to Chromium.

Dev tools are very decent. At this point it's almost indistinguishable from Chrome dev tools. The "Performance" tab might be the one exception, where it's a different flow for profiling. But otherwise it should feel very familiar.

If you think everyone is not equal just keep in mind that in 100 - 200 years the Universe is going to recycle you and everyone living here and allocate atoms and consciousness somewhere else. There would be no exceptions.

Now meditate on this till you realize your resume or ego or sense of who you are is just a miscalculated compute cache you hold on to keep your mind away from this truth.
I used Firefox before Chrome took over, and then stuck with Chrome until about a year ago when I started using Brave.

Last week I switched to Edge. I know some people will turn up their nose at such a choice, but it turns out to actually be a very nice browser. I'm even using it on my phone now too.
Currently the main attack facing Firefox is coming from advertising companies such as YouTube.

It’s crazy to think that some software engineers might actually intentionally degrade user experience on non-Google browsers or for people using adblockers. The mentality here is pretty disturbing: it’s almost like punishing users for making the choice to browse the web without ads, or without the surveillance mechanisms that come with them. Instead of building a better experience, these engineers seem to be focused on sabotaging alternatives in the name of profit or control. The kind of mindset behind this reeks of the same tactics we see in some ad networks or big tech companies - if we can’t convince you to opt in, we’ll make sure you’re inconvenienced or frustrated until you do.

It’s a dangerous precedent because it introduces a toxic game of cat-and-mouse, where the user is constantly playing defense, trying to protect themselves from deliberate misdirection. It’s not just an ethical concern, but also an issue of how we value user autonomy in the digital space.

For the hackers out there, this is a opportunity to dig into the JavaScript code responsible for this. There’s almost certainly some interesting obfuscation or odd behavior hiding in the code, and by pulling it apart, we can both understand how these tactics work and build tools or methods to counteract them. Let’s make sure the only thing that slows down the web is bad design or slow servers, not malicious code aimed at punishing the user for making their own choices.
It's not very surprising to me, Elon Musk has a habit of over-promising and under delivering.

Self driving is a really complex problem, although we do have self driving vehicles from waymo I believe the type of self driving that a Tesla would have to do is a little different, more challenging.

It might be that getting 80% there was sort of the easy part, and the next 20% is a nightmare problem to solve; if it's even possible to solve with our current paradigms of ML.

I don't blame Musk for having promised full self driving 10 years ago, but after a decade, we all should know better.
My 20 year old blog is private to myself. I have observed I keep having the same plans and ideas at different times. It has been very useful to pin those ideas down to a persistent plan or strategy.

I have also found it useful as I am an external thinker and over sharer. A day rarely passes that I don't send up a random thought to the blog, rather than it being an unnecessary whatsapp.
I can do everything in terms of debugging in firefox than I can in chrome. I've not found any issues thus far, including wrangling cookies and more esoteric auth stuff. Obviosuly every good webdev does multiple browser testing and sometimes firefox behaves differently to chrome so you have to jump in and see why. Never been an issue (to my work at least).

I haven't used Firefox in a bit, but I thought their devtools were pretty good, but last time I used it I used their developer edition browser [1]. I think the devtools were particularly bad when you used to have to install Firebug as a seperate part of the browser which is no longer the case [2].

How else are you going to buy drugs tho? Or pay for other basic needs that your government may find unnecessary?
Aside from the technical beauty of this post, what is the practical impact of this?

Fan speeds should ideally be looking at temperature sensors, CPU idling is working albeit with interrupt waits as pointed out here. The only impact seems to be surprise that the CPU is working harder than it really is when looking at this number.

It's far better to look at the system load (which was 0.0 - already a strong hint this system is working below capacity). It has a formal definition (average waiting cpu task queue depth over 1, 5, 10 minutes) and succinctly captures the concept of "this machine is under load".

Many years ago, a coworker deployed a bad auditd config. CPU usage was below 10%, but system load was 20x the number of cores. We moved all our alerts to system load and used that instead.

Firefox has better UX than any other alternative.

Chrome feels too shallow.
I think it's a huge caveat, because it makes upgrades a lot less efficient than you'd expect.

For example, home users generally don't want to buy all of their storage up front. They want to add additional disks as the array fills up. Being able to start with a 2-disk raidz1 and later upgrade that to a 3-disk and eventually 4-disk array is amazing. It's a lot less amazing if you end up with a 55% storage efficiency rather than 66% you'd ideally get from a 2-disk to 3-disk upgrade. That's 11% of your total disk capacity wasted, without any benefit whatsoever.
People still need a place to charge, pee, get a snack, stretch legs. My limiting factor on long drives is mostly the need for a stop, and while I can't speak for Europe, here in the US gas stations largely don't make profits on the gas sales.
This is a MacOS thing - an app is not just windows, it is also a menu. The windows can all be closed and the menu is still there. Apps that don't behave like that feel like they are not proper Mac apps. As a seasoned Mac user, cmd+Q is your friend.
There is a clever trick that is used to make top level removal work. The code will make the vdev readonly. Then it will copy its contents into free space on other vdevs (essentially, the contents will be stored behind the scenes in a file). Finally, it will redirect reads on that vdev into the stored vdev. This indirection allows you to remove the vdev. It is not implemented for raid-z at present though.

Do you think a decades long trend of upward concentration of wealth is remotely equatable to my next door neighbor winning the lottery? Where do you think that money even comes from?

>because what other people are making or can afford says absolutely nothing about my financial situation

No offence but I don't care about your financial situation. I care about the financial situation of most people, and if they increasingly can't afford necessities like housing or food I also really couldn't care less that the numbers going into their bank account have gone up since last year.

My point is material goods and economic markers can increase on paper whilst people can increasingly be restricted from the housing market, career prospects, and other factors not easily reflected in said markers. If you are interested in defending the fact that those markers are indeed doing fine then you're in a debate with yourself. The relevance of those markers is not obvious, or trivial to justify in relation to the actual world people are living in
My very old, and bad, laptop takes an extremely long time to start Firefox.
However, forks like Floorp are a lot quicker to start.
And since I'm pretty strict about using the same tools everywhere (no matter the OS) I'm now using Floorp on my main PC as well.
But I'm not sure Floorp can be trusted... does anyone have anything to say about it?
Sure, Musk is and has always been over-optimistic about the state of self-driving, but the OP reads too much like a hit piece intended to trigger outrage.

I'm not sure the OP's data justifies its conclusions.

Not recommended.
I think what LLNL did predates GPUDirect and other new technologies came after 2022, but that's a good start.

CERN's Ceph also for their "General IT" needs. Their clusters are independent from that. Also CERN's most processing is distributed across Europe. We are part of that network.

Many, if not all of the HPC centers we talk with uses Lustre as their "immediate" storage. Also, there's Weka now, a closed source storage system supporting insane speeds and tons of protocols at the same time. Mostly used for and by GPU clusters around the world. You connect terabits to that cluster casually. It's all flash, and flat out fast.

I don't know which stance is closer to the reality, but it sometimes gives me pause that there are places like infinitely vast Kazakh steppe or endless backyards of Sakha republic whilst we're supposedly running out of land for humans globally.

My supposition is that the Earth _is_ at full capacity by many meaningful metric such as GHG emissions, but when it comes to land area - it must be tiny minority of places like core Western Europe, northeast coastal US, or coastal Far East, that are at capacity. Definitely not everywhere.
Definitely infrastructure investment, here in downtown Reykjavik I park my electric car on the street and there are four regular and one fast charger spots (each with multiple chargers) within easy walking distance of my house. Charging is cheap and convenient which is definitely what's needed to make electric cars viable.
That'd be nice but it clearly isn't the root of the problem, because through most of human history people have had kids despite wild poverty, terrible work prospects and a work-life balance that was appallingly bad and that may actually be illegal now depending on where you live. Most monkeys manage to procreate while basically living in the woods foraging.

Since the effect seems to correlate with wealth, it seems more likely to me that people are just sniffing out that they, personally, will have a more comfortable existence if they spend money on themselves rather than having children. Birth control means that is an easy option.

> This misses that evolution has been pre-training the human cognitive architecture - brain, limbic system, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, coevolved viral and bacterial ecosystems - for millions of years.

Yes. But that is not part of the training cost; this is basically the equivalent to figuring out a suitable artificial neural net architecture and hyperparameter tuning in general. That is not energy cost that you pay per training run, but fixed cost overhead instead.

You raise a good point that when doing artificial training, the "environment" has to be provisioned as well (i.e. feeding audio/visual/text input in some way to do the training), but here I would argue that in energy terms, that is a rather small overhead (less than an order of magnitude) because our digital information storage/transmission capabilities are frankly insane compared to a human already (and reasonably efficient as well).
Dumb question, but I couldn't live without some chrome extensions. Are they easy to port over to Firefox?
Have you looked at that video at all?
What I’m saying is not criticism, I think the word enemies is quite isolating and too negative. It’s definitely true that every place with more than one human has inter-personal motivations and constraints, but I think they often can be fluid and non personal, someone contested the position you got but after the position was granted they realized they’re very much ok with not spending extra work time in the new job for example, or the employee that contested you to the promotion just wanted the raise or the ability to influence more in the company and you didn’t take their dream job. In some of those cases I found I can plaster my coworker name in large font on any work we did together or delegate to them tasks that they really wanted to, and I could win their trust and cooperation even though I got the promotion or something of that sort. It’s super subjective and my own personal experience
