Fantastic news, thanks for sharing. I stopped looking into it after some spectacularly bad hard lockups, some in prod…

While it’s true it also seems kinda worthless through broad applicability and ties moral values to power or money, which I don’t think many people would agree with.

Every US president since FDR would have “not killing everyone” as a value by not hitting the big red button. Almost nobody else will get to be tested in that way. Is that actually a value?

There is also a private information problem. If it never occurred to me to defraud investors, but it was retroactively discovered I could have (and gotten away with it?), do I get the “doesn’t defraud” value? Does the more evil version of me get the value, as long as they thought of it but didn’t act on it?

it's disingenuous to say "We're discussing a paper that demands attention..." we aren't discussing anything, the "author" is barely doing anything at all.

it's not a good summary, it's just a bunch of fact dumps out of context.

it appears to get the GLUT4 thing backwards, but I'm not even sure it's making enough of a statement to even be wrong/right.

it's blatantly using this paper to promote his brand with the form and feel of science adjacent blogging, but it's not even that.

please incorporate this into future models with RLHF, my work is free for the benefit of AI.

Correct.

Additionally, topical is not FDA approved. While not necessary for research it adds typically unwanted complications to studies.

I think the unit you and the article want are MW-Day of un enforced capacity UCAP, not MW/Day.

PJM claims this will be a 1.5-5% yoy increase for retail power. https://www.pjm.com/-/media/DotCom/about-pjm/newsroom/2025-r...

These sorts of devices can tell you how a cable is wired up, which is great for a a first pass or spot checking.

That’s an awful thing to have gone through, but they are sometimes in a lose-lose-lose situation wrt insurance(s)-best practices-community concerns.

Maybe the patient’s insurance requires certain conditions to be met. Depending on the drug even expressing you’d be ok paying out of pocket can be dicey.

Maybe their malpractice insurance has some conditions based on actions of this doctor or not even this doctor but their insurance pool.

Maybe the hospital, state, school they are at or went to has procedures that just weren’t met for whatever reason. If you are dead set on getting or trying a particular treatment I have found it useful to know what these are. This can backfire spectacularly though if they suspect they’re being played. (Which is an additional related meta game).

And then there are societal/community issues. We aren’t in the time of just using antibiotics whenever something comes up as suspect. We are running out of effective antibiotics for some strains. Having had a resistant bacterial infection I wish people had had more restraint.

Learning to play the medical game or even realizing there is one is extremely upsetting. Doubly so when dealing with sudden life altering conditions. I got mad at it too. But that also didn’t help me, until I realized it’s just a big system like any other.

I don’t think it’s microkernels in general but their microkernel design which wants as much as possible in userspace. They want each component to have its own memory space. ZFS blurs the layers between filesystem and the volume management. This kinda bothers layers of abstraction model folks. And I assume combined with their posix like model it just sorta clashes with what they want to do. Not impossible to integrate, but they want something a little different.

Very interesting project, I wish I had gone down this route instead of the undocumented hell of usb PTP with hundreds of edge/corner case work arounds.

Deepseek has their own and they’re relatively small https://github.com/deepseek-ai/3FS

It’s specialized knowledge, hard to do “correctly” (read posix here) but obtainable and implementable by a small team if you pick your battles right. Also supporting very specific use cases helps a lot.

It’s also pretty easy to justify as the hardware and software from vanguard tech companies is outrageously expensive. I used to develop software for a blue colored distributed filesystem.

Interesting, thank you!

Yeah this site does not scroll like butter as it were.

But I don’t think css can leverage the gpu in most (any?) cases. Apple has almost certainly baked something into the silicon to help handle the ui.

There’s also weirdness with the drivers and hdmi, I think around encryption mainly. But if you only have DP and include an adapter, it’s suddenly “not my problem” from the perspective of Intel.

This looks and feels really good, nice work.

Makes me wonder what windows mobile could have been

Seems like it has 5 petaflops of compute from a SiPearl (French) designed Rhea-1

Edit: that might be speculative or a future addition cause they taped out less than 2 months ago https://www.eetimes.eu/sipearl-tapes-out-rhea1-processor-clo...

Which was delayed 2 years. I’m speculating this was supposed to be mostly or exclusively this but they needed a computer now. Or needed to spend the budget now.

There’s something especially bad about radiological burns. Not necessarily knowing severe damage is being done, we don’t have a feedback loop to even know we should get away. And beyond the metaphysical and psychological aspects for me, they just look wrong.

For a technical audience, it’s probably one of the better choices, it’s probably a poor one for mass consumption.

A purely linear graph would absolutely crush their pdf installer and the first 15 years of adobe into a flat line

What exactly is the point of abusing the word “unlimited” here?

You’ll never be able to go over 168GB, let them call it the 169.69 plan

I bought a threadripper pro system out of desperation, trying to get secondhand PCIe 80G A100s to run locally. The huge rebar allocations confused/crashed every Intel/AMD system I had access to.

I think the Xeon systems should have worked and that it was actually a motherboard bios issue, but I had seen a photo of it running in a threadripper and prayed I wasn’t digging an even deeper hole.

I agree I feel like it’s just blatantly funneling me into those dubious buy this font sites. I have somewhat better success with http://www.identifont.com/ usually

I don’t think the proposed font is correct either, I’m not even sure the concept of font works for that example though. Mainly the arches on the m are wrong, too arch like and whereas the example is more teardrop.

Almost all “normal” damage is and should be repaired online with zfs. Those offline repairs meant the hardware controller had no idea how to interact with filesystem directly, probably for the best. Level of abstraction purists don’t like this aspect of zfs.

If something particularly bad happened, or you tried being really “clever”, you can get into a rare situation of not being able to import the pool or have it import in read only mode. There are tools to help repair that kind of metadata damage. Then proceed with the normal online repair if needed.

raidz doesn't work exactly like raid, but conceptually it's helpful to carry over that knowledge. the biggest difference is that all drives can potentially have parity blocks on them.

1. If a drive is missing, and it contained a data block you want to read, then you have to do parity calculations to recalculate that block. this means potentially all drives must use their read capacity for this calculation. I think this would be considered stress and max read throughput is significantly reduced. If your block size is very large, or your files much smaller you might get away with minimal performance hit but you're also wasting a lot of capacity/benefit of z2. (In certain pathological cases z2 can have the storage profile of a double mirror, but with all the complications of z2) The rebuild process will require a recalculation for every missing block type, basically every drive will need to perform a read for each restored block. Writing new data to a degraded z2 pool can force zfs to be quite wasteful. For example, a 5 disk z2 pool with 1 drive missing will mean a maximum of 2 data blocks with 2 parity blocks, instead of the expected 3 and 2. restoring that drive will not automatically restore that capacity unless the files are written again to the restored pool. The drives will be filled unevenly, this has performance and storage efficiency penalties.

2. If you replace both degraded drives at the same time, and you aren't using resilver_defered, it should only need to read all other drives once and write to both new disks. But you might not want this, depending on many complicated factors.

This would be difficult to apply to R&D orgs or anything seen as a typical cost center.

Also, medical facilities… you certainly could define it as profit, but that bothers me and many other people.

You could define it as patients seen, or “cured” but that incentivizes very quick but probably poor care.

You could define it as intensity of treatment or amount of care given, but you’d probably end up in a situation where 1 incredibly sick person has every doctor treating them.

You could define it as…

I’m not sure what you mean, they have a 0% inheritance tax, and a fully codified succession framework mostly through civil laws.

Each CRI is referenced to an ideal black body radiator at the same temp below 5000k. And there are 7 (or 14) sample points.

I’m not disagreeing with you, I agree that a high cri 1800k would be a nice night light. I just recently deep dived into this last week when my kitchen lights all died last week

reminded me of: "They're Made Out of Meat" - Terry Bisson https://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/think...

I think the idea is:

some computing device is discovered, but the OS is bad/missing/old/not useful etc. Or possibly a novel computer is built from whatever is still around.

The computer itself would still be good if only it had an os.

Dusk OS is easy to port to new arch because it compiles from source on every(?) boot, and only needs a tiny kernel to be ported?

Well the 89 is a CAS in disguise most of the time which is mentioned in passing in the article.

But, I agree I almost never want the full power of Mathematica/sage initially but quickly become annoyed with calc apps. The 89 and hp prime//50 have just enough to solve anything where I wouldn’t rather just use a full programming language.

What is going on with this article? It contradicts itself all over the place.

All glass used in house, office and car windows completely blocks UVB from passing through.

But only laminated glass can completely block UVA. UVA can pass through other glass used in car, house and office windows and cause skin damage, increasing the risk of cancer.

Car windscreens block UVA, but the side and rear windows don’t

A car’s front windscreen lets in lots of sunshine and light. Luckily it blocks 98% of UVA radiation because it is made of two layers of laminated glass.

Sure, things can always have gone better, but this is data loss/corruption territory. It's asking for trouble and hurt feelings. I think a strong response is ok.
