I was in a crowd of ten thousand people screaming “FUCK MIKE LEE” and god damn did it feel good and god damn do I want that to happen again where he can hear it.

This also sucks because the CSB produces really awesome videos ):

Still, the drug’s average price of $466,200 a year is staggering even for rare-disease treatments.

What uh, the fuck‽

Hey!

Hey assholes!

What the fuck are you doing‽ This medicine is literally just a salt of an incredibly commonplace medicine that’s been around for 50 fucking years. I get that you need to pay for your R&D costs and profit on top of that, but does that actually justify charging patients and insurance companies almost half a million dollars a year?

I fucking hate it. I’m glad that the people suffering from a horrific disease can have relief, but it makes me so fucking mad that they get a 466k yearly tax on their fucking lives.

At least the ACA’s preexisting conditions thing hasn’t been rolled back.

I was in a crowd of people screaming “FUCK MIKE LEE” on Saturday and god do I want to scream it again now. Mike Lee is such a worthless cunt and I’m furious that he supposedly represents me.

I wonder what the maximum theoretical efficiency is. The article says the current system is 20% efficient, which is not exactly good. I’m not a physicist so take this all with a grain of salt. They’re going to have to overcome generation losses (this article says diode lasers can be 60% efficient but have Problems™), transmission losses (the inverse square law is a bitch, and they’ll have to contend with atmospheric absorption and scattering), and receiving losses (they’re using PVs which are famously not super duper efficient). I’m sure they’re working on all of this, and it seems reasonable that you might be able to get power transmission up to, say, 50% efficiency. That’s great and has its uses, but it’s not going to replace transmission lines, batteries, solar panels, and gas generators. Plus, we’re talking about sending 10 kilowatts of power across 200 km via light. Can you imagine how dangerous that would be? Like, what happens to anything in the path of that laser beam? What happens if the light gets reflected? a 10kW CW laser is no fucking joke!

EDIT: I could see this being useful for recharging/powering drones or something. It also seems like it would be much more useful in space where atmospheric scattering becomes a nothing burger.

Pig. It was INCREDIBLY emotionally effective and made me cry SO HARD FOR LIKE 20 MINUTES. Holy shit what a good movie.

Each VM can be sized appropriately for the demands of the container. With docker desktop, you can’t have a container use all of your system cores without making the VM have access to all of your cores all the time always. One of the biggest benefits (imo) of running containers on a Linux workstation is that if you don’t define a CPI limit, a container can use all the compute/memory on your system. You just can’t do that with Docker desktop. This also affects multi threaded container builds when you’re using buildkit.

Being able to spin up a vm to build a container with all cores accessible to it, and then run the actual container with a smaller number of cores would make container builds so much faster.

EDIT: I’ve looked, and it appears that podman desktop also does 1 big VM, rather than having 1 VM per container.

I’m not sure. To me, the most interesting thing is that each container gets its own VM. I don’t know if podman does that or not. I’d guess not, since CoreOS isn’t the lightest OS around (I’ve used CoreOS and Flatcar extensively at my job and it’s a lil chunky as far as immutable container host OSes go).

For people like me who didn’t know what this was:

Stremio offers a secure, modern and seamless entertainment experience. With its easy-to-use interface and diverse content library, including 4K HDR support, users can enjoy their favorite movies and TV shows across all their devices. And with its commitment to security, Stremio is the ultimate choice for a worry-free, high-quality streaming experience.

edit: honestly, that’s a shitty description. This one seems a bit better:

Stremio is a modern media center that gives you the freedom to watch everything you want.

Still uses VMs, although it’s 1 VM per container.

Using the open source Containerization package, it runs a lightweight VM for each container that you create.

A big improvement over the stupid shit Docker Desktop did (running a bigass ugly VM for all containers). I’ll still stick with my Linux laptop ;)

It seems likely that Andrew is a sex pest.

I believe further allegations have come out since then, but I can’t be bothered to look into them. I’m already not watching his channel, so I don’t need to make myself angrier by reading more.

There’s also ZZ 👉😎👉 Same caveats apply, smash that fukken esc key (for bonus points rebind caps lock as esc) then ZZ Top your way out of that shit.

I feel like bpf would be a decent solution for anticheat. I believe you can limit what an ebpf program can look at quite effectively.

Mars is getting nuked again‽
or if you prefer it in video form: https://youtu.be/sm9BFRP93_k

yes the video is about setting titanium on fire, be patient.

(also no the study is some crackpot bullshit, the paper is funny and the video is even funnier because Explosions & Fire is an amazing channel)

In particular, the companies purchase financial information from a data broker before offering a nurse a shift; if the nurse is carrying a lot of credit-card debt, especially if some of that is delinquent, the amount offered is reduced. “Because, the more desperate you are, the less you’ll accept to come into work and do that grunt work of caring for the sick, the elderly, and the dying.” That is horrific on many levels, he said, but “it is emblematic of ‘enshittification’”, which is one of the reasons he highlighted it.

What the ACTUAL FUCK‽ This is the type of shit Neal Stephenson would put in a fucking cyberpunk dystopia novel. I am filled with so much fucking rage. My sister is a nurse and goes through so much fucking bullshit at her job already. Nurses really do not need more shit thrown at them.

For those who like me who didn’t know what this is, I believe it’s an open source reimplementation of a Bambu AMS module. I’m probably not 100% correct about that, so if OP responds then you should listen to them, not me.

These are good points. I was in a shitty mood when I made my comment and upon reflection, it’s an overstatement and not a very good take. I do still strongly support copyleft licenses and DCOs over CLAs, but I shouldn’t turn my nose up when something is released without those.

I used to be excited when companies open-sourced stuff, and that is no longer the case. I suppose I’m just frustrated and bitter and cynical when it comes to large companies doing good things.
