OSF/1 is the closest that microkernels ever came to being used in general purpose operating systems:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSF/1

The only still living variant is AIX. Some of the code is in the XNU kernel, although that is a monolithic kernel rather than a microkernel. Apple converted it to a monolithic design for performance reasons.

That said, this article suggests that AIX is not using a microkernel either:

People don't buy houses by writing checks for the purchase price. They get a mortgage and pay monthly which is dependent on both housing price and interest. With a lot of hand waving that number isn't much worse than the 70s/80s because interest rates were high then.

However, that's cyclical and we're in a really crappy local minima for affordability due to a rapid increase in interest rates.
What is the term "things we like" representing here? It's about background theories, isn't it? Inclinations to agree with a theory, or doubt a theory, because of a mess of peripheral theories such as this is our way of life or they're in it for the money.

In short, bias. And to be free of bias is rationality. However:

* This is not possible.

* Or it is possible, but the process is endless.

* Rationality is made out of theories, and we can always learn better ones.

* Bias is also made out of theories, so it's just inferior rationality.

* Some of those theories can be very bad, so bad that they sabotage the process of getting better ones. Then the person has entrenched anti-rational theories, a sticky situation.

But generally speaking, bias is expected. To be completely free of it is unimaginable. Even the most rational of us would look extremely biased from the perspective of the distant future. To have no bias is so unrealistic that it's undesirable, akin to solving all problems that there will ever be. The process we're engaged with, our problem situation, includes our biases. Changing our minds reluctantly is how we function, and I kind of like it.

There is definitely more trust toward Germany then toward USA or Russia now. Wither way, even if there was less trust, it does nit matter. Russia is very active threat and America is hostile toward Europe, threatens annexation of part of it ... while being friendly to Russia and other authoritarian regimes.

So, it is nor like there would be another choice.

German is at least teaching about own atrocities as about atrocities. Other countries have massively bigger problem to admit their past might have been ugly.

Thanks for responding. I see your point, but I think it is responding to something slightly different than the point I was making.

If I may latch on to your first paragraph, my point is that we are saying this first bit “this system is broken” and are happy to throw out the baby with the bath water and tear it all apart, on flimsy evidence and generalisations.

And yes, there’s definitely something to be said about the HN crowd having a temperament toward innovation, but I don’t think that’s in any way orthogonal to my point. In fact, this community is far more rational than most others, so I would sort of expect us to rationally look at company processes too, but for some reason we seem to have a blind spot when it comes to our managers and executives and the ‘horrors and hoops’ they make us jump through every day.

See that's the problem with childhood friends, people move. Eventually it's impossible to keep in touch beyond online with more than one or two, sometimes not even that. Yearly meetups don't really do anything except make you realize that you have less and less in common each time until one day nobody feels like organizing anything anymore.
There's a common belief that fingerprint analysis is objective and reliable, but there's a great deal of subjectivity involved. Additionally, there have been several convictions involving fingerprints as evidence which were eventually overturned.

The 40-hour workweek was introduced in Germany in the mid-1960s. 60 years later, it's still standard. A few 39-, 38- or 37.5-hour weeks here and there, but even those are by and large 40-hour weeks.

The number of vacation week and public holidays has increased, which explains the majority of the difference in "annual work hours".

The 10x in productivity is in no way reflected by the number of work hours.
FAANG recruiters are dumb and not selective. They definitely don’t look at blog posts.

- a recruiter from Amazon Retail reached out to me about an SDE 3 (L6) position when I had nothing on my LinkedIn profile aside from a bunch of CRUD jobs on my profile. I

- After talking to the recruiter, they suggested I apply for a remote role at AWS Professional Services which I did get. Funny enough, I had two recruiters reach out to me from Amazon on LinkedIn while I was - working at Amazon and it was on my profile.

- I had a recruiter from Google reach out to me while I was at Amazon for an Engineering Manager position. The problem is, my current position wasn’t even a software developer on my profile and I had no management experience.

- a recruiter from Meta hounded me for months about a senior position as a developer specializing in AI. Did I mention that my most recent role at the time wasn’t as a software developer and I had no AI experience?

- Even before working at Amazon, recruiters from Netflix reached out to me. No I wouldn’t have had any chance passing the interview

Recruiters - even at BigTech reach out to anyone with a pulse. I still get recruiters from BigTech reaching out to me about software development positions even though for the past five years my profile clearly shows a pivot to cloud consulting and customer engagement.
Can someone explain to me how it can be so hard to track down the exact cause for this disease? My grandma passed from it. It seems to be relatively common.

Cool.

I use linkedin and pay for premium but the problem it solves for me is very different. If I want to find out how to reach an organisation to do sales, I need to know the structure of the organization and who I know that knows people who work there. I don't even use the linkedin-platform messaging. Really it's about how to coordinate my rolodex so I can get warm introductions.

I have posted a few jobs on linkedin and they immediately get 1000s of applicants, with very poor signal-to-noise ratio. We don't use it for job postings anymore, we instead do more specific targeting.

Agreed, the ssh service on many git servers like gitea use their own user specific process instances to handle the connection.

Combined with port-knocking and fail2ban, the setup has proven rather reliable over the years. The Go language can make surprisingly resilient servers if you have the memory available.

The ssh key handling in gitea requires manual setup, and thus does not necessarily even have to use the same administrative user login key sets.

I don't know what gets taught in school these days about what was done to the native groups in the US, but when and where I went to school (in the US a few decades ago) we were taught about a number of very bad things that were done: Intentional spreading of diseases, broken treaties, forced displacement, etc.

I do think there are a lot of things bad that we did and do that get ignored or glossed over but a lot of it does get (at least briefly) taught and as far as I know, other than government secrets that are recent-ish, information about these things is not repressed.

I'm by the same mind.

I dare say ChatGPT 3.0 and 4.0 are the only recent examples where pure computing produced a significant edge compared to algorithmic improvements. And that edge lasted a solid year before others caught up. Even among the recent improvements;

1. Gaussian splashing, a hand-crafted method threw the entire field of Nerf models out the water.
2. Deepseek o1 is used for training reasoning without a reasoning dataset.
3. Inception-labs 16x speedup is done using a diffusion model instead of the next token prediction.
4. Deepseek distillation, compressing a larger model into a smaller model.

That sets aside the introduction of the Transformer and diffusion model themselves, which triggered the current wave in the first place.

AI is still a vastly immature field. We have not formally explored it carefully but rather randomly tested things. Good ideas are being dismissed for whatever randomly worked elsewhere. I suspect we are still missing a lot of fundamental understanding, even at the activation function level.

We need clever ideas more than compute. But the stock market seems to have mixed them up.

Just a simple PHP backend (Laravel or symfony) with React or Vue as the frontend is probably less headache and less costly than this Next.js montrosity.

> From what? There's no serious indication of a russian threat to invade western europe.

The same was said of Ukraine. It made no sense, people thought Putin wouldn't be so self destructive, but here we are.

Given the stakes and consequences of being wrong, Europe is doing the right thing. Even a 5% chance of Putin invading Europe is worth buying an insurance policy for, given that Europe's existing policy has proved worthless.

> All of this is in addition to the reality that peace is more economically productive, and war is just one big murderous disaster.

You make it sound like war is a choice one makes, and that laying down arms, appeasement or surrender is a solution. It's been proved time and again that that just leads to more war.
Yes, a unique fingerprint allows tracking. But which sites that most of us visit, without logging in, actually have and use that capability to build a unique profile?

I assume ad networks and analytics are the main ones actually fingerprinting based on client-side factors. I could be totally wrong.

Any reasonable adblocker that prevents requests to those services probably neuters 99% of any fingerprinting capability that anyone is going to encounter day to day.

It's nice but not all friendships can be maintained or forged. I was a military family so I moved around a lot. And this was pre-social media, so I lost all my elementary school friends when I moved. So, no "childhood friends" to lean on".

And it happens naturally as well when you go to college and likely graduate. Lot of my middle/high school connections spread out doing the same as me, finding their next step in their career. I'd be surprised if most people knew more than 1-2 people at their first job. So you gotta either work hard on old relationships from afar or find new ones.

It's especially important if you are trying to find a mate. I'm not sure I heard of many deep romantic relationships that were started virtually with no physical contact for months.

>perience and more easily when young - that's just my personal experience I know its different for others. And they cannot be primarily virtual or they wilt.

There's that too. We're social creatures and a screen can't satisfy everyone. Men in particular are also just horrible at updates. I don't know how you can communicate for 20 minutes with someone you haven't talked to in a year and casually mention "oh yea, I'm married now and am expecting a kid in 3 months". Really shows how isolated you can feel with someone you thought you knew inside out.

>I feel like if there was any sense of an intentional attempt to make friends I would push back and away. Of course your experience is different because friendships come in many forms.

Well that's the difficult part of modern friend forming. It's a two way street and we're in days where even your second place might be virtual. There's no school or parents to make people mesh together. You need not only to create events but the recipient needs energy to participate. You can do everything right but some people will simply not want to meet you halfway.
I don't get how RL can be applied in a domain where there is no simulator.

The US is extremely sue happy - US courts will often not recognize the ‘of course it’s obviously dangerous’ defense without extensive warning in writing - and even then, there is a significant amount of due diligence that needs to happen.

That sounds true to me, at least related to the MAGA-adjacent people I know from the US.

The thing is that I never expected the US to just willingly throw away what I (and many others) perceived to be its actual greatest source of strength. The US had built, along with its impressive military, an equally impressive web of friendly nations that allowed it to project its power to a degree that was impossible to match. Even in a world where China kept rising, they would have trouble to compete with the US in this field, because the window of opportunity to build this was like 70 years ago.

China was trying for the next best thing, wooing countries in Africa and Latin America to slowly build a web of friendly nations of its own. Not the same, if you ask me.

That the US would freely squander all their multi-decades investments in a matter of months was unthinkable.

I personally enjoy what is happening. As someone that lives in an EU country, I thought the EU needed this kind of nudge to further integrate, and the US influence always irked me. I am cautiously optimistic for the next few years here.
