From memory there was LPAR "Logical Partitions" - which were effectively like a VM. and there was WPAR "Workload Partitions" - which had a shared OS and were more like a container.

I had some "interesting" experiences getting stuff to work on WPAR's.

IIRC, WPARs could be just for one process, or full OS (but sharing the resources of one AIX instance, I guess that running on an LPAR or directly in the hardware).

But yeah, bit more like a container.

Then it was probably an LPAR. Are those reliant on hardware magic or just something like cgroups?

LPARs use hardware virtualization. The PowerVM hypervisor (PHYP) is in firmware.

That is less of a problem in the consumer space where the OIDC Auth providers have giant long lived sessions (google/FB/etc).

In the government/banking/etc space - there is at least FIDO/WebAuthn/Passkeys which also resolves it. But it's a fair criticism.

And the next step down that rabbit hole is xlights: https://github.com/xLightsSequencer/xLights

I'll echo this for anyone else in the comments -- You can watch the cricket episode with 0 knowledge of the show and 0 knowledge of cricket. If you haven't ever seen Bluey - it's a great example as to why so many speak so highly of it. If you haven't seen bluey but want to see what the fuss is (and especially if you have any interest in sports) -- it's only 7 minutes long and absolutely worth watching.

I'm not sure how true that first statement is anymore. Most of the recommendations I see now are "just get a Bambu labs one". We are much closer to 3D printing as a utility as opposed to 3D printing as a hobby than we were ~3 years ago.

Great news! Given that time frame, my info is indeed out of date.

Fun thing with payphones - at least in Australia -- Telstra is investing in upgrading them (at least the ones in the cities). They aren't very useful as phones - but they are incredibly well situated billboards that you can plaster ads on top of.

They also provide wifi -- https://fon.com/ marketed as Telstra Air.

As someone mentioned - the "Arena Starter Kits" worked for us as an intro to the game.

The basic rules around commander aren't particularly additionally taxing beyond that. (This is your special card that you can play every time. When it dies it goes back to its special spot and it gets more expensive each time you cast it). What I like about the commander format (in the few pre-constructed decks I've bought over the last few years) - they can really lean into a theme/strategy more - and the commander really guides you in how to play this deck.

Start with those arena kits - they are cheap and handle the rules. But if your son sees a commander deck that resonates with him (in theme or mechanics) -- I'd recommend giving it a shot.

yeah. But a high number of pixels and a high number of minutes of battery life work against each other here.

Loopt, OpenAI, WorldCoin.. how many do you need to be serial?

This is hacker news. Sam was the founder of a startup in the very first round of YC. He then later became president of YC. I expect news of him to resonate more around here.

And OpenAI have been the most exciting tech company of the last 12 months.
