spai2··on Hyperlight: Virtual machine-based security for functions at scale
How does the micro VM's guest API talk to the host process? Does the communication between the two have to go through the hypervisor?

spai2··on FOSSY 2023, Portland: Free and Open Source Software Yearly conference
I live in Portland. My advice for you would be to avoid staying (or even visiting if possible) in downtown and Old Town. The Pearl is not too safe either, although things are starting to look up. However, there are plenty of neighborhoods that are thriving. The Nob Hill neighborhood in Northwest Portland, Clinton/Division in Southeast Portland for example are alive and buzzing. Try staying there and explore these neighborhoods. I guarantee you'll have a wonderful time.

spai2··on India to Attempt Moon Landing at the Lunar South Pole Today
>> The money India spent on this pointless endeavour is beyond reason

The Government of India spends orders of magnitude more money on safety nets for poor people each year. I'm not making claims about whether its enough, or about its effectiveness. It's also not true that the poor people have no hope. India's growing economy has lifted millions out of poverty each year for about 3 decades now, and it continues to grow at a faster pace than other emerging economies. To call a spend of $150m (which is peanuts compared to how much India spends directly on its people) on a scientific mission, which benefits the scientific community and is positively an inspiration to the nation's population, a waste of money seems misguided to me.

spai2··on India to Attempt Moon Landing at the Lunar South Pole Today
Where do you think the money is going? Is it being spent within the Indian economy, or is cash being lifted to the moon?
