I hate to wade into this cesspool. How about some of the real obvious ones:
* Crypto currency rug pulls (World Liberty Financial)
* Donations linked with pardons (Binance)
* Pardoning failed rebels of a coup that favored him (Capitol rioters)
* Bringing baseless charges against political enemies and journalists (Comey, Letitia James, Don Lemon)
* Musk (DOGE) killing government regulatory agencies that had investigations and cases against his companies
This is with two minutes of thought while waiting for a compile. I'm open to hearing how I am wrong.
> What is interesting that while 'Dilbert empire' fell in the process for not accepting white inferiority, full blown resistance marketing market is taking ( or maybe has taken already ) shape fueled largely by highly polarized populace.
I must be daft. There must be some cultural context I'm missing so that I don't even understand what you're saying. Accepting white inferiority? Full blown resistance marketing market? Huh?
Because if you reject white supremacy, obviously the implication is white inferiority…
White supremacists generally deny that they have societal advantages and frame any attempt to give minorities equal opportunities as a plot to subjugate whites.
> White supremacists generally deny that they have societal advantages and frame any attempt to give minorities equal opportunities as a plot to subjugate whites.
White people are not a demographic majority in many places (including where I personally live), and yes most ostensible attempts to give nonwhites equal opportunities to whites wind up as blatant anti-white discrimination. White people are morally justified in politically resisting this even if leftists call white people who do so white supremacists or neonazis.
This isn't my area, but wouldn't this still be quite effective if it automatically grouped and batched those jobs for you? At low throughput levels, it doesn't need giant batches, and could just timeout after a very short time, and submit smaller batches. At high throughput, they would be full batches. Either way, it seems like this would still serve the purpose, wouldn't it?
My knowledge is outdated, as I last seriously looked at it about nine years ago, but I doubt Binder is even better than dbus; it was not good. I'm quite surprised with people suggesting it. There was that recent kernel Binder bug even with the rust implementation. It was rewritten in rust because it has had a never-ending string of serious security bugs. On top of that, it had very poor throughput. I'm guessing this improved with the rust implementation.
It was a toy created by former OS devs who really didn't want to use Linux, but wanted their pet IPC from their former OS. It even used to be the case that Binder would dynamically create threads in the receiving process without userspace knowing. As in, your process would magically have function calls coming in from threads that you never created. Imagine the issues this can create with locking, forking, etc. This ended up being changed to get it upstreamed, but I consider this absolutely insane behavior.
I used to work for a general contractor who did residential remodels and construction, and a little bit of commercial work. He exclusively used cargo vans. He would carpet the interior to protect the cargo and your knees. It made me question why anyone would use a truck. As you alluded to, it doesn't just protect from the elements, but also from thieves stealing tools out of the back of your truck.
Do we even think that was real? I think social media has been astroturfed for a long time now. If enough people make those claims, it starts to feel true even without evidence to support it.
Did they ever open source anything that really make you think "wow"? The best I could see was them "embracing" Linux, but embrace, extend, extinguish was always a core part of their strategy.
I think you missed an important point in the parent comment. You can override the allocation for C++ coroutines. You do have control over details like allocation.
C++ coroutines are so lightweight and customizable (for good and ill), that in 2018 Gor Nishanov did a presentation where he scheduled binary searches around cache prefetching using coroutines. And yes, he modified the allocation behavior, though he said it only resulted in a modest improvement on performance.
I only ran the benchmark on Quasar Alpha*; the rest of the scores come from the original paper [0] which was published before 3.7 was available. This is a pretty expensive benchmark to run if you're paying for API usage - I'd actually originally set out to run it on Llama 4 but abandoned that after estimating the cost.
* - I also reproduced the Llama 3.1 8B result to check my setup.
> Initially, the FSB was mainly interested in getting its hands on our equipment, presumably in the hopes of confirming its hypothesis regarding our links with the CIA.
> ...
> The FSB officers feigned surprise and promised to return the missing items immediately but succeeded in doing so only after 40 minutes had passed. Although they failed to bypass the pin codes on the phones or computer, the Kremlin’s agents did manage to install a tracker on Roman’s laptop, which he discovered within minutes.
> I had a weirdly similar experience shortly thereafter, not in Moscow, but — shockingly — in Berlin. Flying back from a screening of Navalny in New York and on the way to another one in the Hague, I was just passing via the German capital for a few hours to speak at a conference. The event was held at a pompous hotel in the city’s suburbs.
> ...
> During the event, I looked up the ownership of the hotel only to discover it was owned by a German, quite literally, “friend of Vladimir Putin”. I rushed out to get my suitcase, and the bellboy took a whopping twenty minutes to find it. On the way to the airport, I discovered a hard disk was missing from the suticase. I alerted the police who rushed to the hotel, only to be told that the security cameras had been down for maintenance.
Does this imply that the conference was held at this hotel purely to get access to his devices?
> The scheme was replete with cars bearing fake license plates, a route that avoided traffic surveillance cameras, and two speed boats that would need to be sunk at the end of the operation.
> Later on, a source in the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) informed Roman that Kyiv’s intelligence services had gathered information showing that a Ukrainian criminal group had received an “order” from Moscow to kidnap him and take him to Russia. A reward of $50,000 was offered for his capture.
> At one point, one of them even booked a seat next to him on a flight from Budapest to Berlin, wearing a hidden camera to record his screen while he texted me. Their attempt to get his smartphone pin code was off by only one digit.
How many people were working full-time to get this guy?
It does sound crazy. If they really wanted to kidnap him, they would have succeeded instead leaving so many clues. The SBU told him? I am shocked, shocked.
Getting hands on electronic equipment is what any pro-Palestinian Western journalist is familiar with at airports etc.
My suspicion is the same as yours, that this may have been caused by local ISPs being overwhelmed, but it could be a million other things too. I had network issues. I live in a heavily populated suburban area. I have family who live 1000+ miles away in a slightly less populated suburban area, they had no issues at all.
