> drain resources from the apps

The resource usage is negligible.

If you really need that level of high efficiency that you can't spare the tiny amounts of memory the agent uses, then you'd be better off looking into using something like Packer to build a Server Core image in your pipeline, and deploying that to an Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set. This allows "zero outbound communications" deployments also because the image build step is out-of-band and isn't done anywhere near the live infrastructure network. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tas...

The above approach concept also works with any other imaging-based workflow such as Windows Docker containers running on App Service or Kubernetes. https://azure.github.io/AppService/windows-containers/

The packer + VMSS approach however allows the IIS workers to join an Active Directory domain "properly". Sure, Kubernetes has some limited support for this, but I wouldn't try it in production unless forced to at gunpoint.

> needs to have a route open to Azure.

If you're only deploying instead of running arbitrary pipeline tasks, then I believe just four firewall rules is sufficient to Azure DevOps (not "Azure"!), but you may need more depending on your requirements: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/age...

> Apparently you have had good experiences with this?

It's pretty much the "only way" to do things in the current-gen YAML Azure DevOps pipelines.

The alternatives are Kubernetes, App Service, and the like, but those generally aren't 100% compatible with traditional domain-joined IIS web servers.

If you actually need the traditional Windows box "infrastructure" instead of a PaaS, then directly installed DevOps Agents would be one of the best ways to manage it.

The best alternative I know of is probably Nomad, but that's only good if your org is already invested into Hashicorp tooling.
It very much looks like Europe and US are not allies anymore. I don’t believe there’s a strategy here. I believe that Trump and his electorate are simply much more closely aligned, ideologically speaking, to Russia than to the EU.

> and adding a single line of code can completely change the way your program is compiled without you even noticing

You cannot work on SIMD micro-optimizations without assessing the final compiler codegen. Compilers will easily cancel your optimizations effort once you move your code from an isolated test-case to an actual binary that is being released.

Otherwise profilers don't really help much if you don't know what are you looking for. And to know what to look for you really need to understand how the CPU internals work. There's no way around it. May you switch to another CPU and you will find that your optimization scales differently.

Being a baggie for bitcoin begs the question that it’s necessarily going to increase over time. Given that Blackrock recently published a video reiterating the ground truth that there is no ultimate guarantee that the finite supply of bitcoin could not be increased, there are signs maybe this isn’t so bulletproof.

Yes and no. For any vehicle that is carrying humans you'll want sufficient fuel to compensate for error or unexpected complications. And depending on the situation for a lunar landing that may require sufficient fuel to abort a landing well into an attempt so that a second landing (or return) can be attempted (instead of committing and hoping the crew just doesn't die). This doubly so if there's a capacity to refuel in orbit for a second attempt.

Also you'll need to assume for at least the foreseeable future that any Starship HLS landing will require sufficient fuel to return to orbit.

With enough margin left you can very reasonably adjust the center of balance by using multiple tanks and pumping all the fuel into rear tanks.

That should be enough given that the Starship HLS is estimated to have around 1.5 million kg of fuel at max capacity and only 100k kg of payload to the lunar surface (200k kg payload max for non-landing starship). That makes the payload mass to lunar surface only 6-7% of the total fuel capacity.

So outside of an extremely risky "attempt landing with no fuel left for an abort or return to orbit", you'll have at least double to quadruple the weight of the payload in just fuel alone.

Now for an earth landing of course the calculus here is different, especially since Starship's earth landing strategy explicitly requires throwing the vessel on it's side during the "bellyflop" and only pulling out of that fall with a powered landing at the last possible second.

TLDR No. Where center of mass will be able to make a difference fuel will make up significantly more mass than the payload.
> Are all the AI/ML engineers just being stupid because their notebook could be faster if it was written in Rust

I think Python is a great language for running inside Notebooks.
Running non-AI/ML jobs in production is where Python brings more downsides than
upsides.
a) resource use is minimal when deployment isn't in progress. It just idling and waiting for commands
b) Agent need to be able to connect to Azure DevOps servers, but it is connection from agent to Azure DevOps servers so no need to open any extra inbound ports or anything like that. Documentation lists the domains that need to be accessible from agents.

Agent permissions to Azure are restricted based on the pipeline configuration to only allow things that are used in the pipeline. So if your pipeline does not involve cloning git some private git repo, agent cannot do that. And even that gives only access to that particular resource. So you normally have a build pipeline that generates package from you application and then deployment pipeline that only has access to that generated package which is then distributed to agents configured for some particular deployment environment.

I don't really have much direct experience with deployment side of things so someone else can probably provide extra info.

I’m really curious to see how productive it actually is to use something like that. This combination of a framework, database, and infrastructure all in one package seems to simplify things, but I wonder if everything falls apart the moment you try something a little 'outside the box' or unusual.
I think it depends more on the ratio between access time and how often you use the data. Adding two arrays that fit in L1 is already limited by access time. On Zen3, we can add two 32-byte vectors per cycle, but only store one of these per cycle. For matrix multiplication, we can do the two additions per cycle (or really c <- a * b + c) because we have to do multiple operations once we have loaded the data into registers.

I can see it be useful for data sets of a few dozen MBs as well.

I absolutely abhor this idea that there are "tech people" and "non tech people". It's complete defeatest bullshit. When I was 12 years old setting up a website in 1997 I was not a "tech person", I was someone curious and motivated enough to learn a very simple skill (html). There's nothing special about me. We don't talk about "bread people" and "non bread people," we just talk about people who decide to learn to make bread. There are not "driving people" and "non driving people" there are those who have learned to drive and those who haven't. I'm sick of this stupid divide. You either care to learn a skill or not.
Before uranium enrichment comes conversion to Uranium Hexafluoride. For instance the German uranium enrichment facility (biggest one in Europe) gets Uranium Hexafluoride from Russia.

Also a list of countries operating enrichment facilities does not say anything about capacity (Russia 50%) or market share (Russia 44%).

https://www.enerdata.net/publications/executive-briefing/ura...

The reality is that both the US and Europe are dependent on Russian uranium services, with the biggest dependency in Eastern Europe for fuel rods for Soviet-style Reactors. It's slowly changing, but will probably take decades.
About 15 years ago or so I was part of a study for Zeiss wavefront lenses. They used some sort of interferometer to map my vision and generated a set of aspherical lenses based on that. They were absolutely the best pair of glasses I ever owned hands down. No chromatic aberration. Absolutely crystal clear vision. Granted, this was before presbyopia set in. As far as I could tell, they never really rolled out the system for anything but progressive lenses. It's a shame.

Anyway, I've been fighting progressives for about 5 years now. I have 2 pairs that I got a couple years apart but could never bring myself to wear them. Like some others have said, I much prefer having a pair of medium distance computer lenses. They end up being the glasses I wear when I'm at home even when I'm not in front of the computer. I now have to lift them up to see up close, but that's a reasonable compromise to wearing progressives.

I really want to find an optometrist who uses some alternative to the old phoropter system. My prescription is currently a bit "off" and I swear it's because the phoropter system is fundamentally flawed. My eyes adjust and adapt during the test, causing me to misreport the optimal setting. There just isn't enough time in a typical appointment to detect eyestrain or other issues with a particular prescription.

The cultural differences between C developers and non-C developers never ceases to amaze me.

The definition of unacceptable behaviour is so different. A program exit on an exploitable vulnerability is considered unacceptable. The program must continue running, even though all hope should have been lost by this point!

Meanwhile on the other side of the ocean, it would be unacceptable for a program to enable the complete take over of a system!

Getting the panics out of a rust codebase should much simpler than fuzzing out UB. After a few iterations, there won't be any panics whatsoever.

Honestly what I'm seeing here is essentially that C is being preferred, because it lets you sweep the problem under the rug, because UB is such a diffuse concept with unusual consequences. Whereas a panic is concrete and requires immediate attention, attention that will make the program better in the long run.
>The ideal solution is to come up with a secret heuristic to come up with different passwords for different services.

How long does it take you to enter several keys of 16+ length for a few sites you might to access? A password manager can autofill, retrieve and input keys, provide an OTP in a few seconds.

Where would you store your emergency codes and other secret-like artifacts?

It just seems impractical for a person, let alone edge cases like sharing, or usability concerns like working with secrets frequently throughout the day.

>I've never been hacked, never been locked out of any accounts.

Due to the strength of your system, general digital hygiene, or simple odds? If we're getting really contrived, how do you maintain confidence your heuristic can't be guessed from X plaintexts obtained from breached sites (highly common)? That's kind of like rolling your crypto, isn't it? -- doing it correctly is beyond almost all of us.
Wouldn't the blob storage host be able to see your obscure file?

I suppose if it's encrypted, no. Like the pastebin service I run, it's encrypted at rest. It doesn't even touch disks, so I mean, that's a decent answer to mine own question.

I am sceptical of Elwood’s claims that the UK trident cache will outlast Trumps presidency. Since next generation subs and missions are in the design phase, I would hope that UK government decides to dial down dependence on US for delivery tech.

I am also concerned about US ability to ground the F35B fleet since these need a software update after every mission that can only be deployed by US contractors. Hopefully Starmer will dust off plans for a Typhoon successor that has no US reliance - Japan, Italy, Germany could partner.

Basically anything that can run code or needs maintenance or parts is a vector for the US to control use.

What makes Manus so special is the combination of many agents with different abilities, controlled by a central interface. At the moment, due to the limited access, it is difficult to assess whether Manus has primarily put together an impressive combination of existing AI agents or whether there is more to it than that.
Yeah, we probably initially overestimated these issues, causing us to take a longer, more indirect route. Thanks!
In general, 40 samples would certainly not be enough for the experiment result to have statistical significance but perhaps in this case when the code being tested is very tight, e.g. just several tens of instructions, it may be enough. Code in this example is testing the CPU compute capabilities and the only source of variance is the CPU internals itself.
A little bit actually, yeah. This looks great, thanks.
That’s how 1Password used to work. Not sure how much of that is still left in the system these days.

I had to bring in a forensic IT expert after terminating someone who twice claimed twice he "might know a way" to read folks' email with no traces in the logs. He had previously mentioned a deadman-switch type setup, but in more of a "wouldn't it be cool" way.

After forensic person found no exploits, the recommendation was to proactively pay the employee a chunk of change with the stipulation that any future hacktivity would be treated as a criminal matter. We didn't do that (employee wasn't smart enough to create an invisible backdoor, or dumb enough to not just walk away).

The bad decisions he made (hiring, vendors, boys' club culture) probably did more damage than malicious code, and it's taken about 2 years to undo it.

Plants and animal meat don't have salt - they have sodium (or sodium ions).

It's not just the center of gravity. I think people really underestimate how hard landing on the Moon is, because counter-intuitively, the lack of an atmosphere makes things harder, not easier. Landing on Mars (or even Venus (!!) - which is the first other planet we ever landed on) is easy mode by comparison.

With the lack of atmosphere is that there is no 'natural' attitude/orientation correction. If you're tilted 5 degrees then you'll stay that way. With an atmosphere drag and aerodynamic forces can be used to ensure a proper orientation.

'Just make sure you come down straight' isn't so easy because when you enter the Moon's 'orbit' (not necessary, speaking colloquially) you're traveling extremely fast. And so to land you need to zero out your horizontal and vertical velocities. You do this by literally turning around the opposite direction and thrusting. And then you need to simultaneously also ensure your vertical velocity stays near zero as you approach the surface.

And then finally you need to come down with your vertical velocity at near zero, your horizontal velocity at zero, and perfectly orientated. This is really friggin hard. If you have even a hair of velocity you're going to bounce, skid, and otherwise do nasty things - which is why so many landers end up on their side, if not upside down. And then there's the Moon's surface itself. Come in on an even slightly unlevel terrain and again you're in for a wild ride.

> "eliminate certain circumstances under which homicide is justifiable, including, among others, in defense of a habitation or property"

I don't feel that we should allow shooting mere thieves. If someone breaks into your garden shed, it is a stretch to say that this crime should carry a death penalty.

I'm not a fan of duty to retreat in defense of habitation (removing "castle doctrine"), however. The sort of people that break into occupied dwellings are not reasonable and don't mean well. A duty to attempt to run away makes that situation tactically difficult when the occupant is already at a tactical disadvantage, not knowing how many attackers there are, where they are, how they are armed, their intentions, etc. It's a well-intentioned law that unfortunately tends to punish the victims of crime either for defence without retreat or by giving criminals an advantage in a confrontation they instigated.
