as a young'un, i've only ever known salon as calorie-free partisan nonsense. i have at least vague memory of when VICE was good, and would be sad if they dissolved, but the same does not apply here.

the 4get dev did the same thing a little while ago for his metasearch engine: https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4play

Nested virtualization prompts the use of shadow paging (where the bug is), is my understanding, where non-nested cases use hardware accelerated translation instead.

It's certainly large enough for trillion-param frontier-tier trainings, which will likely result in capable open-weight models, the thing you just wished for.

I have excellent news for you. Lux @ ORNL and Equinox @ Argonne are to be completed by EOY, with Solstice (100k NVIDIA chips, currently spec'd to be Vera Rubins) in the next five years.

mildly related: when i want a single bit of entropy in my day-to-day without fooling myself, i think of a random long-ish word and decide based on the evenness of the number of letters. probably this isn't an unbiased oracle, but it's good enough when i don't have a coin handy and care about avoiding self-delusion more than fair odds.

it's a link. if your browser doesn't have some visual cue that a load is occuring (for me it's a favicon indicator and a visual loading bar) you're having a client issue.

>How does this make the accessibility problem any better?

it's not a UX decision to load slowly on poor uplinks (fwiw it's near-instant on my machine). obviously nobody would /choose/ to do that.

toasts, though, are a definitely conscious UX choice.

that's just an <a href> link. the only latency is your browser pulling the (admittedly, unnecessarily large) page -- would you prefer some static hydration garbage?

Presuming the kind of runaway superintelligence people usually discuss, the sort with agency, this just turns into a boxing problem.

Are we /confident/ a machine god with `curl` can't gain its own resilient foothold on the world?

sleep deprivation definitely reduces raw reasoning ability. in some cases, though (and this is true for getting buzzed as well) the trade-off is absolutely productive.

That's possible. It feels a lot like the placebo component in drinking: if you're free to ignore one of the few things you need to /live/, it should be much easier psychologically to be carefree (similar to "oh, haha, i'm drunk, might as well get wacky").

The moment properly self-improving AI (that doesn't run into some logistic upper bound of performance) is released, the economy breaks.

The AI, having theoretically the capacity to do anything better than everyone else, will not need support (in resources or otherwise) from any other business except perhaps once to kickstart its exponential growth. If it's guarded, every other company becomes instantly worthless on the long term, and if not anyone with a bootstrap-level of compute will be able to also, do anything ever on a long enough time frame.

It's not a race for ROI, it's to have your name go in the book as one of the guys that first obsoleted the relationship between effort, willpower, intelligence, etc. and the ability to bring arbitrary change to the world.

anecdotally, i never feel better than when i haven't slept. spent 8pm tuesday -- 8pm thursday this week awake nursing cheap energy drinks, and not only could i manage a higher-than-usual level of focus, i was genuinely content.

bombed a midterm halfway though, but at least i felt good about it.

the reds did space much, much worse.

first satellite? all sputnik could do was beep, and it ran out of batteries in three weeks.

first animal? laika died.

first station? there were two attempts to crew it -- the first failed to dock and everyone on the second mission fucking died. the soyuz 11 crew remain the only human deaths in space.

first *naut? yuri gagarin didn't even have manual controls.

the n1 was catastrophic. need i go on?

all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. having a little fun spurs good work and vice versa.

tmux (and screen) are incredible assets for remote sessions, both for continuity across dropped shells and multi-shell activities when the connection process is tedious (multiple jumphosts, proxies, etc.)

HISTSERV blows. keep chats ephemeral.

for a while I thought I might go to one of those uniquely nerdy colleges where they let you fuck around with dorm infrastructure.

i back-of-napkin'd a whole packet-over-laser relay system based conceptually on the clacks that'd give every room/station its own serial-interfacible (up|down) link. you could link buildings out of windows and stuff. horribly impractical and prohibitively expensive, but the kind of thing that could only happen in a university on-campus environment.

> This is not a sentence in English.

> I'll be here at day.

i hate to heckle, but... :)

fwiw i believe strongly that there would not still be a nitter without graf's work on it.

in the space of working on cool shit, he's good people. see: moldbug and urbit, for a similar case.

pharmabro went to prison for sec fraud, not the daraprim hike

i added a minutely scrot cronjob about a year ago and haven't used it once. remembering "that website i was on last week" is apparently not a real problem I was having

or with ipa-esque authentication schemes and shared mounts

>create a place truly free of AI for those who do not want to interact with it

the bar, probably -- by the time they cook up AI robot broads i'll probably be thinking of them as human anyway.

the USB-C legislation was pretty clearly directed at Apple alone

nope. post here from 9/11 2001, no warning [0]. it's fine if they added a check recently to flag backdated posts, but there's no telling how many incorrectly-timed things went up before they added that ([0] is from about a year ago, fwiw). the whole early history of the platform is questionable, and it's just shoddy protocol design.

(if you work for bsky please don't add a flag to that, it's my favorite party trick)

bleh. i don't mind in principle having robots do art and writing for us, but their chronic inability to be properly cynical stains everything they produce. it's all "big bang theory" flavored, for lack of a better phrase.

ham optimizes for the wrong thing, imo. look at ft8: perfect for making contacts at low power with stations far, far away, but really only tuned to the particular task of making contacts.

you can package some text alongside, but fundamentally all amateur operators are looking for is a SYN / ACK with callsigns.

this is an absurd comment to read in 2025. "tacitly support running anti-democratic black ops around the world or you're supporting the enemy!" is some PATRIOT Act 2001 era shit.

defederators are morons, but they're the same class of moron from Tumblr that invented things like the "DNI list"
