Thanks for answering. The threat model for a programmer is likely much more complicated than for a regular user, but not related to sandboxing. Regarding the "server facing the internet is real", I am not sure I get your point. Co

Rant ahead. I really dislike these towers of complexity in the name of security. A PC is a general purpose device and it is mine. I don't need to have permissions per each instance, i don't want sandboxes that cannot share files w

This is doing correctly what the car company did wrong. They start with a system that does not have a fatal incident upon failure. Meaning that even 1% or 10% failure rate is totally fine and possibly positive in terms of ROI. On the other

If you have your init crashing wouldn't this just start a loop where you cannot do anything else than seeing it looping? How would this be better than just panicking?

In Lisbon's airport they are temporarily back to just stamping the passports without the biometric stuff. There are already reports that the checks are being lax.

It shows that even when the original issues are solved the reboot takes time due to power station being spooled down due to excessive production. I hope it is all back before telecoms start draining the batteries, otherwise things get ugli

It is a tragedy that python almost got some form or RAII but then figured out an object has 2 stages of usage. I also strongly disagree constructors cannot fail. An object that is not usable should fail fast and stop code flow the earliest

There is a veritassium YouTube video describing the story of the electron microscope. At some point somebody even proved mathematically that any improvement was a dead end. Then a group of scientists whose research was mostly shunned, and a

Bootlin is a French company and they are a major open source contributor. I worked with them and I recommend them. French tech used to have a reputation for Renault old car quality, but I did not see it. Even in Renault and Citroen I came

Most comments like this, fall into a form of scarecrow fallacy. They assume performance in C/C++ can only come at the cost of correctness and then go on to show examples of such failures to prove the point, and there are so many. On th

What are the consequences for this breakage? The article says current models do not easily fit the asymmetry but does not state what parts of our understanding will break if those models are wrong.

What you are describing is not a constitutional democracy. It is a kind of mob rule.

When you say it like that it is so obvious. If we collectively kept our heads out of our asses and just thought how to deescalate things rather than be parsimonious little nobodies we would all be better. The other day somebody said I could

systemd-run allows you to run transient systemd services based on arbitrary commands. It will create nice transient units and if needed timers all with systemd scope rules. See [1] [1] https://www.freedesktop.org/software&#x

Be careful if you see yourself spending too much time on the devops side of things. You can be building a tower of work that has zero customer value in the end. Even the supposed quality improvements found in an automated way may just turn

Civil code law uses that way of thinking, where there are specialised courts for different areas: administrative, civil, labor, family, commercial and so on. I actually am not so sure it is great as these courts increase the depths of the b

This still does not excuse punishing third parties to the facts you mention. By that logic we can cheat and exploit Germans, including people not alive during the holocaust, because there are still victims alive. Collective punishment is ag

Went through the steps and ran it on a similar r6a.16xlarge and the model seems to only load after the first prompt. After that it takes maybe more than half an hour trying to load the model and still no answer. The context size in the post

Don’t know why you are downvoted. I was even taught that if after reporting an emergency you are overwhelmed by information requests you should just mute the radio and focus on solving the emergency . ATCs job is to get everybody out of the
