My brother in Christ he was literally the CEO of VMware

I wrote a generic kernel driver overlay for error correction for block devices on Linux (Winter 2017-18) for a student org at my university. Interned at NVIDIA on their Linux graphics driver in Summer 2019

the end game is MechanicGPT trained on the obscure phpBB/vBulletin car mechanic boards from the early 00's

Did you attend the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign?

IMO QEMU is a nice spot between important, straightforward to contribute and relatively understaffed compared to how widely it is used. I have found multiple behavior/stability issues that I’ve fixed on my own (exposed though OSdev-adjacent work) and submitted to the mailing list

There are meaningful things on other social media that make them Pareto distributed too and I disagree that the SNR of HN is higher than elsewhere

To be fair almost all of Hacker News is a vapid waste of time too

I've been running a SIGECOM chapter at UIUC and the main theme over the past four/five months is people meme-ing about Beanstalk and how its such a shit show. My original concern had to do with the stability lever only working to decrease the value, so it inherently requires a "distinct triangular shape" to keep itself running. I didn't take it seriously enough to do a deeper analysis (mostly because I'd find something like this, but I can't really do anything with it legally) but there's about $10k invested in the ecosystem as LPs/bond-owners within my group of friends.

I did 72hr fasts and averaged about a pound lost per day at the fastest (i mostly ate eggs and cream cheese when i did eat anything). I exercised pretty heavily too but entirely cardio (physically weaker obviously so don’t want to fail lifts). I went from 255lbs to 200lbs over the course of two months (currently sitting at 180 but that’s because I’ve released it quite a bit)

Clayton Christensen wrote about this extensively in The Innovator's Dilemma. I read it and enjoyed it

competition from miners to accept fees will still exist

I think the main point the (grand?) parent is saying is that "Apple is in the phone business" isn't a reasonable description of Apple. I agree that Apple hosting itself on its own platform is an abuse of market position (especially for something as peripheral as music), but to claim that music/audio isn't a/hasn't been core part of Apple's business model is ridiculous.

I believe gating features or giving preference to tracking/not-tracking is a violation of GDPR

Am I the only one who finds it funny that Bernie Madoff died within hours of Coinbase going public?

Can you be more specific?

I also feel that most science, math, and engineering is much more axiomatic than law and finance. It is easy to guarantee that things don't break when you have reasonable assumptions in an axiomatic system and can deduce the rest, but there are so many exceptions, technicalities, and gotchas in law and finance that I would be afraid of opening either myself or the company I work for up to lawsuits.

The US could spend half of what it currently spends on the military and still be twice as powerful in terms of military force as the rest of the world combined.

Do you have a source for that?

I can't speak for California, but Illinois requires these things to be public (either automatically or via a FOIA request). Most state FOIAs work in the same way, but maybe with different sets of exceptions

Interesting. Ive only looked into Wyoming and Illinois. If I pursue this path, what should I do to prepare?

Thanks

Mostly finances, economics, mathematics and law. Looking into self teaching a JD track (currently a Math undergrad at UIUC so ill probably follow the JD curriculum here) but I need to pass the Bar, which requires having a proper JD from an accredited university.

The USPS also uses Jeeps in the sticks, but those aren't common enough to be seen by most people.

Something to note is that most physical things that are banned are one-time-use (drugs, organs, etc), whereas the shelf life and resale value of the gun are much longer. Also the classification of "gun" is much wider than classifications of most other illegal things

There's also the Killdozer with Marvin Heemeyer but it was a bulldozer effectively turned into a tank

There's a lot of policy to encourage competition that isn't regulation. The USPS helped with early airplane development by contracting out mail delivery to civilian pilots, and grants provided by NASA et. al are partially done to help with competition in the aerospace field (can't find a source for this one but the people I know in the space all agree this is by design).

I've had issues with Rust and OpenSSL, but that's because its effectively just FFI bindings. Rust, by default, links all dependencies statically except for libc, libm and other assumed-to-exist libraries.

The key distinction AFAICT is that r/WSB isn't commanding people to buy, nor does it have any assets of its own. This is just a stochastic result of mania and individual investors doing what they believe to be in their best interest.

I’ve heard that it might be for anti trust reasons (but with putting Facebook on all of its properties). Properly establishing who owns what up front makes the average user more aware of the consolidation of platforms

The amount of power the Bitcoin network uses is proportional to the number of miners, independent of the number of transactions. it is designed to have one block per ten minutes and adjusts the "difficulty" to match. As long as the price of Bitcoin keeps going up, I can't imagine mining will become less popular.

Yea Huawei has a location right outside NVIDIA in Santa Clara that was hit with a DOJ investigation after they gave out bonuses based on stealing IP and other nonsense.

To be fair, it doesn't ask for permissions until you click on it, and (on iOS at least) the permission isn't automatically granted. This all looks above board IMHO
