None of these are rocket-science problems, they're just standardization issues. You build a library with your generate_id/serialize_id/deserialize_id functions that work with a wrapper type, and tell your devs to use that lib

> The network file system to host is usually pretty slow no? That was my impression. NFS doesn't have to be slow. If you avoid traversing the TCP/IP stack, performance is fine. Linux guests can use vsock to communicate with the

They absolutely save. Just not in their own currency - they'll instead rush to cash out for gold, USD, prime real estate (if they're rich), or some other less volatile store of value, before their currency gets devalued even furth

I suspect that highway miles heavily skew this statistic. There's naturally far fewer pedestrians on highways (lower numerator), people travel longer distances on highways (higher denominator), and Waymo vehicles didn't drive on h

It's not the technology that's the problem, it's the consolidation of entities that control the technology. Low-cost mobility is vital to a healthy economy. Anything that could potentially monopolize transportation should be

I think it's natural to be uncomfortable with black-box optimizations with unclear boundary conditions, especially when there's no escape hatch or override. Postgres's query planner is notorious for this - some small change i

You should be able to disable the firewall from the GUI or CLI for Ubiquiti routers. If you don't want to deal with configuring static IPs for each individual device, you can keep DHCP enabled in the router but set the /28 as your

Ah yes, I forgot about saturating arithmetic. But even for that, you wouldn't need infinite precision for all values, you'd only need "enough" precision for the intermediate values, right? E.g. for an inner product of tw

Not an expert either, but my understanding is that large models use quantized weights and tensor inputs for inference. Multiplication and addition of fixed-point values is associative, so unless there's an intermediate "convert to

Sounds like this could potentially be some defective RAM. Memtest86 can boot from UEFI directly, so it should hopefully show up in BDS. A run should tell you what regions of RAM are bad, if any.

Is there any way to improve upon the fit if we know that e.g. y is n times as noisy as x? Or more generally, if we know the (approximate) noise distribution for each free variable?

It's hard to adopt something that schools don't teach. I know someone who graduated from UCI with a CompSci degree with a specialization in networking, just before the COVID19 pandemic began. He recalled that the networking course

Debug symbol size shouldn't be influencing relocation jump distances - debug info has its own ELF section. Regardless of whether you're FAANG or not, nothing you're running should require an executable with a 2 GB large .text

Oh, there was plenty of internalized propaganda about civil disobedience being the "wrong approach" [0] - it is by no means a new phenomenon. Such criticism was common enough during the civil rights movement that MLK addressed it

The biggest risk to this business model isn't the government, but the payment processor. Anonymity makes it easy for unsavory characters to use stolen credit cards to buy your compute. The inevitable barrage of chargebacks will then ca

> In practice one of the things that happens very often is that you compress a file filled with null bytes. Such files compress extremely well, and would trigger your A/B threshold. Sure, if you expect to decompress files with high

For any compression algorithm in general, you keep track of A = {uncompressed bytes processed} and B = {compressed bytes processed} while decompressing, and bail out when either of the following occur: 1. A exceeds some unreasonable thresho

That's not a cycle - service B isn't writing any new data to A.

FreeBSD and OpenBSD explicitly mention the prefaulting behavior in the mlock(2) manpage. The Linux manpage alludes to it in that you have to explicitly pass the MLOCK_ONFAULT flag to the mlock2() variant of the syscall in order to disable t

Recursion: That's easy, don't. At least, not with a call stack. Instead, use a stack container backed by a bounded allocator, and pop->process->push in a loop. What would have been a stack overflow is now an error.OutOfMemor

Which is why I said "allocate and pin ". POSIX systems have mlock()/mlockall() to prefault allocated memory and prevent it from being paged out.

Sure, but you can do the next best thing, which is to control precisely when and where those allocations occur. Even if the possibility of crashing is unavoidable, there is still huge operational benefit in making it predictable. Simplest e

The reason I really like Zig is because there's finally a language that makes it easy to gracefully handle memory exhaustion at the application level. No more praying that your program isn't unceremoniously killed just for asking
