keep_readingon ZFS 2.2.1: Block Cloning disabled due to data corruption

Looks like a deeper bug has been exposed due to the way bclone works? They're finding issues now on ZFS versions predating bclone

Edit: yep, it's an older bug. Set zfs_dmu_offset_next_sync=0 to save your data

keep_readingon After OpenAI's blowup, it seems pretty clear that 'AI safety' isn't a real thing

Ok and how does it power that body and be able to move around the world in meatspace

keep_readingon VMware is now part of Broadcom

Massive IO performance over KVM due to the emulated NVME driver. Bhyve may be juvenile compared to KVM but it seems to have a better design and a better license.

edit: also bhyve runs on SmartOS too, and I think Bryan is going to be more comfortable with a Solaris OS under the hood

> The second kind is preventing AGI from enslaving/killing humanity or whatever.

Y'all are crazy for thinking this. A computer program without arms or legs cannot extinct or enslave the human race.

keep_readingon C diff spores resist bleach and remain viable on surgical scrubs, fabrics

from wikipedia:

> However, prions, such as those associated with Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, and some toxins released by certain bacteria, such as Cereulide, may not be destroyed by autoclaving at the typical 134 °C for three minutes or 121 °C for 15 minutes and instead should be immersed in sodium hydroxide (1M NaOH) and heated in a gravity displacement autoclave at 121 °C for 30 min, cleaned, rinsed in water and subjected to routine sterilization.

Seems like we should just burn them like the parent suggested. Prions are no joke.

So far nobody has proven that this bug exists on FreeBSD, though. :)

keep_readingon Binance founder Changpeng Zhao agrees to step down, plead guilty

You can't send cash over the internet, but anyone who thinks you get privacy on blockchain transactions (other than Monero) has been mislead.

keep_readingon Binance founder Changpeng Zhao agrees to step down, plead guilty

If you would have looked at the geopolitical landscape and what they've been doing to our money for 100 years it would have been an easy investment to make. Geopolitics and monetary policy is your due diligence.

central bankers are indeed criminals!

These people were scammed by humans, not by bitcoin.

keep_readingon Binance founder Changpeng Zhao agrees to step down, plead guilty

I think it's criminal to leave people in underdeveloped countries at the whims of unaccountable central-bank-style institutions like Federal Reserve.

keep_readingon Increasing QUIC and UDP Throughput over Tailscale

Smells like Sandvine traffic shaper falling over or something.

keep_readingon Rust without crates.io

I have CI pipelines fail when Github goes down because of crates.io being inaccessible.

Does anyone have a proxy for Rust? I'd love to run it. Please. Someone... help

keep_readingon Ray Dalio ran Bridgewater like the global strongmen he admired

You're correct, it is impossible to design a model which is why we need to kill the central banks as they think they do have a model that is trustworthy.

keep_readingon Grayscale CEO hints at Bitcoin ETF approval, 'We're ready for the main event'

Can you expand upon why you think it is likely to be rejected?

keep_readingon Ray Dalio ran Bridgewater like the global strongmen he admired

Ray Dalio may be a slimeball, but he's not wrong about macroeconomics. Someone wants you to not like him and not listen to his advice.

keep_readingon Switching to Elixir

Why would you want to deploy an Elixir app on a system that adds an unacceptable amount of latency to the network? K8s is trash for all the stupid network packets being copied from user space to kernel space and back

keep_readingon Why did US $2 bill fail to become commonplace, unlike in Canada and elsewhere?

Canada doesn't have a $2 bill it has a coin. This isn't a good comparison.

We shouldn't have $1 or $2 bills because they fall out of circulation too fast, but everybody interested in this topic knows it already.

It's bizarre how antiquated our cash is and how there is no appetite for removing the penny from circulation either. I really thought we were going to pursue this like 20 years ago but nope... our government is too dysfunctional for even these types of changes

keep_readingon Switching to Elixir

well, you can avoid this if you try to limit the number of public functions so you don't have to do this as often. make as many defp functions as possible, really.

keep_readingon Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it

Any major US city? Dinner for two with my wife is ~$200, yeah...? (I'm not even in California or NYC)
