@encthenet so my approach with the kernel is that scheduler control needs to be completely absolutely 100% redone. i think simply not doing any round robin that has both the attacker and the target in the same round has got to be a good start (which comes from not exposing a "round robin switching" semantics except to an immediate supervisor parent process).

but i also feel "let this run for N cycles and return" or "let this run until the ring buffer is mostly or completely filled up" are other ways to relate scheduling across processes in ways that work more like coroutines and with much less kernel work to switch around task_structs. these are another layer (not big) that i would add onto posix (i'm not implementing signals or pthreads whatsoever)

@allancavanagh more of this!

To everyone when they see horrible privacy news about Microsoft replying with:

"I don't care, I use Linux"

Sure, you do. But does your medical clinic do? Does your therapist do? Does your family member typing a personal email to you in Word before sending it do too?

This is a systemic problem.

You cannot protect your own data only by using Linux yourself. You must also demand stronger regulations and enforcement to obligate organizations around to protect your data as well.

@misty yet I applaud the restraint to limit an entire subcategory to “various Kaiju.”

@davidgerard A maybe-solution is to hit up AliExpress for 10cm USB-C cables. They're good for charging (or syncing external SSDs) and they work out at about £2 each if you buy in bulk (5 or more at a time).

@rnd Works for me! ^.^

J'suis allé voir le film l'Odyssée.

C'est sympa.

Juste, c'est définitif : j'en peux plus du cinéma. C'est une activité qui m'agace bien trop vite.

White Nationalist Jake Lang came to Minneapolis and got fucking smacked the fuck up by a dude dressed like Spiderman.

@giflian those looked interesting! what are the practicalities and impracticalities?

@masonporter Also, it's going to be *real fun* working out what happens when you yeet a rocket straight up towards LEO at orbital velocity.

Ye canna say she's nae a grafter 💅

@cstross this is for an android phone without qi charging, so i want the tail

@JorisBohnsonPM didn't Iran shut off its internet for 3 weeks so it can.... checks note... kill protesters on the streets

I don't wanna hear any messages of support for this regime in my replies. None!

@technomancy I'm curious to see how this goes. The lkml threads are depressing

The most popular pattern on ravelry right now is simply called The Garment

I'm fortunate in that I don't really have to use GitHub for work, but I do have an account, and all this time, I've only ever blocked one user. And that user sure does seem to be getting around lately. They just seem to be in all the GitHub repos.

I haven't read the spec but I skimmed past this part and this was where my bullshit detectors went up - this is like a "universal translator" type of claim that wouldn't really be possible in one language, let alone across languages. If they've identified a computationally tractable algo that induces a metric space with a well conditioned semantic distance metric across languages and paraphrasings then that would be like an "all the Nobel prizes at once" level of discovery.

@TheBreadmonkey This seems great until: Someone before you managed to block the chute, and only a specialist can fix it.

Classical case in my neighbourhood was cardboard boxes. If some lazy person didn't bother to rip them into sheets, I could my self clear some space in the bin. But with those underfloor bins, you're prevented from helping yourself.

The problem with using LLMs to research information is that this technology generates text, it does not report information.

Generating a map is not the same as finding an accurate map that already exists. Same for any other pieces of information.

And even if it was able to find and report information without modifying it (what a search engine does basically), it cannot in evaluate if this information is accurate.

Adjust your level of trust accordingly.
