Disrespectful and weird title.

"A visit as a kid sparked her curiosity until she achieved her dream"


I agree: clickbait. She unpacked the toilet; I doubt it was anything like what you or I would think of as "cleaning a toilet."


the fact that it as about a space toilet made it immediately clear to me that this was not your average cleaning job because space toilets are only used in space. so no clickbait at all, in my opinion, but rather a pun on the rags to riches meme.


Nothing worse than memory management on Hyperscaler VMs which do not use Swap :|

Took k8s ages to get Swap support.

We lost something when we accepted that Hyperscalers just tell you to use more moemory. It was shitty 5 years ago and today especially after the ram price increases


My guess would be: it's because memory management before MGLRU was really not good and required different userspace solutions and tinkering. You either get killed with OOM (no swap) or got into thrashing (swap).

And now, with PSI + MGLRU, situation is much better, but there are still missing features/subsystems which would be nice to have. For example there's no simple way to lock memory mlockall-style to ensure that rarely used daemon would not face long no-cache-latency upon accessing the first time after long idle time.


Lets be honest here, every additional sun exposre means you lived longer which directly leads you closer to death sooooo ;P


That part really is cumulative


I think more bought them to run their Clawed on it but still with external LLM calls.

There should be a lot more content on setups and best practices etc. if these macs would be used with local models only.


They already learned. A lot or basically everything evern written and available digital.

And context window work very well. You can 'teach' an llm a new programming lanuage and other things through it.


Its time to invent something lightweight and good which runtime is so small that it becomes a system default.

like a microvm with normal language features. Something you can and want to actually attach a debugger onto it. Something independent of architecture too.

I just hate bash :| Even just using bash and curl and checking if its a website or an error page...


I use Python for that, since I know it will always be on my machine.

Is this what you have in mind?


Yeah but i have Python PTSD from all this Python 2 vs. 3 shit :D


Perl still loves you and will always be there.


And I for one am here for Perl


I'm sure that there are still Python 2 codebases there running an unsupported interpreter, but for most people that has been at least 5-10 years ago. Also, the Python project learned a lot from the messy transition, that I think it's unlikely to happen again.


And then some old debian box comes out of shadow.

I'm sure that ubuntu LTS also extended the life of this disaster + some tool you wanted to use which never upgraded.

GNU Radio took ages


That was almost 20 years ago! We migrated 2 to 3 10 years ago. I'd say I moved on. I doubt there will ever be py4 :)


It's definitely not a system default (unless it's a system I've had access to for more than ten minutes!), but:

I use Janet[0] for this.

Go has a fast enough compile speed I feel like you could syntactically sugar it to be a command line.


Why would you compile it each time? You would compile the binary once and the use it. This is what Go equivalents of this already do (e.g. Hugo).


Because a shell is an ergonomic programming language. If you compile a binary then you're implementing another programming language interpreter.

AFAIK the Go jupyter kernel does something like this but it sequentially links previous compilation results to the current cell. Memory use is probably not great for a shell care though (since each linked Go library is a whole separate Go runtime).


Yeah but its not scripty enough and has not enough easy stuff build in.


https://www.tcl-lang.org/

Many people have made micro Tcl’s too if you want something even lighter.

It has a built in subst command no need for a template engine!


Nim might be an option. It even has a subset to be used for scripting purposes.


Python already fills this role.


exe.dev does a pretty good job of instantly deployable microVMs


Dude, that's C.


WOW good for you! Man if everyone would just be like you. That would mean no one would need something like GLPs eh?


Some don't get at all what calories are.

In some video a woman was eating 8-10 Oranges a day just as a snack on the side.

No knowledge about sugar or calroies, just the thought "but its a fruit its health". No fruits are not healthy


8 to 10 oranges per day being healthy or not is largely dependent what else you eat. Biggest issue there is likely teeth decay due to acidity.


No its not. 8-10 Oranges is too much sugar. Too much sugar hurts your insulin reaction and can bring diabetes.


No with the fiber that’s perfectly fine. The slow release of sugar is perfectly fine. Obesity is the main risk for insulin, fast release sugar is bad for insulin via obesity not on its own.


Not really, healthy person can easily handle that amount of sugar. Has plenty of fiber to balance.


I rechecked it and you are right.

Its an issue if you drink orange juice not when you eat it. Eating takes longer and is getting balanced from the fiber.


Your first sent once and your last sentence don't align.

Yes. Fruits are healthy. One orange is healthy. 10 oranges are unhealthy. Same concept applies to water. Drinking too much can be unhealthy as well, but that doesn't change the fact that water is good.


> 10 oranges are unhealthy

You made that up tho.


I know Math is hard for you, so let me explain it:

10 oranges have a total of roughly 700 calories and 120 grams of sugar while only having 30 grams of fiber. It's mainly sugar. Eating 10 oranges per day crowds out protein, fat and other nutrients.

It's not a made up claim. You are a made up claim, troll.


> Eating 10 oranges per day

I know it ends up as pedantry, but specifying the period with every post/restatement is so critical in these threads. 10 oranges a day is unhealthy, but so is 10 oranges a year to someone trying to make a counter point.


Not my responsibility to make sure people with read deficiencies are able to follow a discussion.


I would even argue that the USA is imploding without China.

The normal USA citicen can't afford a car anymore. Either they make it a lot cheaper over there or they have to continue pressue the USA Citicents to accept that they are not allowed to buy cheap China products.

It will be quitei nteresting to see if we will see a global rebalancing of manufactoring and co around the globe for USA, Europe and China or a overall change in system from pure capitalism to something else.

Or the big players start to reinvest into countries again to have customers who can actually afford it again.


This is not how economists think. They see the US, go "Coal mining, check. Iron mining, check, so you can make steel inside US. More than enough people, check. Oil, check. As well as 1000 other things, and mostly, the checks are there", and conclude the US could produce cheap cars. So if it makes sense or it becomes urgent enough, it will happen. Nothing is really preventing the US from doing everything itself, and doing that will improve the balance of trade (while making Americans much poorer).

In other words, the problem of "The normal USA citizen can't afford a car anymore" can be understood in a different way. That can be fixed, by paying people less (yes, less, really, think about it)

The US can drop it's imports and do essentially everything itself.

Right now people can't afford a car because the US is so equal, meaning they can't compete with labor in India or ... But you could "fix" that, by creating more inequality in the US (do what we effectively do now, worldwide, but within the US. Forbid people immigrating from California to New York. Move all banks to New York, build factories in California. Pay people in California 20% what they make in New York for the same job), and production will move back to the US.

And if that offends you, please understand that's exactly what we're doing now. Just replace California and New York with India or China and New York with, well New York, or Washington, and that's exactly the system we have. That's the system the EU is trying to create in the EU.

Doesn't work that way for exports (EU, or China, or to a lesser extent, India). The EU is an export block that's rich getting out competed by export blocks that are poor ... Now THAT is a difficult problem to solve. Not that EU politicians are even trying.

The US is not doing better because US politicians are better than EU ones. They just have a much easier problem to solve. And, of course, both US and EU politicians are failing, but the consequences are much bigger in the EU.

For example, the EU is in fact making it harder to immigrate WITHIN the block, despite "free movement", and is creating massive differences in pay for the same work, which is apparently what socialism stands for:

Typical after-tax pay for supermarket cashier:

Netherlands: 2550 euro (after tax), for 36 hours of work ~ 15 euro/hour

Greece: 1050 euro (after tax), for 40 hours of work ~ 6 euro/hour

Oh and that's not where it ends. You get way more social protection and medical in the Netherlands ... for paying less in tax. The EU is purposefully creating inequality to solve the problem of rich Dutch people not getting richer fast enough. It's only within the same country that there is less inequality in the EU. And, of course, the EU has been making it worse, not better, for about 18 years now. They're not about to stop. The US hasn't even decently started doing this yet.


Didn't USA get rich by being the manufactoring powerhose in the 60/70s? That wasn't just because USA consumed everything by themselves.

I assume it was a mix of exports and a continuesly growing population keeping this system alive for a long time.

If you know reduce the avg salary down to 1/3, you will get cheaper cars (if you even still need people to make cars, relevant amount of people), but still no one can afford it.

You need to get down from the current price point of 50k down to what? 20k?

Car manufactorers will have to shrink down production, reduce laber numbers, reduce salaries and the avg us american will have to downsize its consumption by a lot.

The USAmericans are at least not taking social security and health care as a human right, after all they don't know it better mh?


No. The US got rich by becoming the manufacturing powerhouse after WW2, and lending enormous amounts to the world (even to the Soviets) so people could actually buy the goods.

The second part played an enormous role too.


But how exactly does the EU promote inequality and make it harder for citizens to migrate?


By creating extra demands you have to satisfy before you can work in a different country, while excluding EU member nationals from social benefits that might allow living without work. It's not allowed to, for example, hold a job in Spain and have your pay deposited in an account in the Netherlands. Or Ireland-France. And they cannot get refugee status visas (which is why non-EU migration is so common now). You'll also be paying double taxes in most cases. And opening a bank account is tied to having a work-visa. And only a Dutch citizen can live in the Netherlands while getting benefits.

So you have to be decently wealthy now to migrate legally in the EU, going up. Which of course achieves exactly what's "needed": poor Greeks/... cannot get away from low Greek wages by simply driving to the Netherlands. Doesn't work. Wage disparities and inequality can grow and grow and grow.

Not that this is going even remotely fast enough for the EU. There is talk now about a "2-speed" EU. Meaning people from the periphery would get less rights (especially when it comes to how much weight their votes carry, but also when it comes to moving)

Companies, by contrast, can easily move to find the cheaper labor. Because, of course they can.

And, because of course, people who "cheat" by not taking benefits or jobs, just making a bit on the side and living in caravans to avoid everything, big example being the Roma, are being hunted by the authorities in 50 different ways. Problem is that mostly they're not doing much of anything wrong, so methods like forcing them through stealing their kids are used (sorry, of course I mean "protecting the kids" through youth services, excuse me, I misspoke. Protecting kids. Not kidnapping kids to pressure the parents).

Oh and it is TOTALLY unreasonable that these people are teaching their kids to directly use violence against anyone come to "help" from the state. Totally, completely, 100% unreasonable. What are you going to do though? When youth services was allowed to use violence against the kids, they massively abused that. For money. For sex. Shooting (yes, really, with a gun) kids slowly leaving the premises. Leaving "troubled" kids in an isolation cell until they commit suicide. Not called that, of course. You'd be surprised how many euphemisms youth services have for both isolation cells for children and for suicides happening on (or immediately after) their watch. Things like this[1] for example have never been named isolation cells, which is what they are, but, loosely translated "time-out room", "separation from everything", "low stimulation room", "TAVA room", "separation from incitement room", "cool down room", "sensory-friendly room", "seclusion room", "safe space" (NEVER trust or go with anyone from youth services talking about safe spaces, unless you're at least 25, and even then) and I'm sure I haven't covered even half of them)

Germany, the 3th biggest GDP country is deindustrializing right now.

that def will hurt.

But we still have a lot of capital left, so plenty of ways to adress the elephant in the room. Its just very weird that the current CDU doesn't has any real good ideas.

USA has a certain amount of hands especially IT but otherwise? China runs circles around Europe and USA for everything else.

Btw. CDU was in power for 16 years and is more right wing than center. If you say left wing in sense of not protecting our own markets, i think this was accepted globally.

USA also can't make things anymore.

If no-one comes up with the general notion of a min of like 60% home made, none of it matters because rebuilding this will take a lot of time and money.

And even with a chip factory in USA, they still import most and automate as much as possible.

This might reduce the pressure on USA Loans but will not help the USA people themselves. They will just continue seeing a bigger and bigger split between poor and rich.


CDU is not right wing in the sense the Republicans are, certainly not today's version that is subservient to the German left.


In germany CDU is right wing though.

So from a wording point of view: generic term still would be CDU is right.
