My brother in Christ he was literally the CEO of VMware

I wrote a generic kernel driver overlay for error correction for block devices on Linux (Winter 2017-18) for a student org at my university. Interned at NVIDIA on their Linux graph…

the end game is MechanicGPT trained on the obscure phpBB/vBulletin car mechanic boards from the early 00's

Did you attend the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign?

IMO QEMU is a nice spot between important, straightforward to contribute and relatively understaffed compared to how widely it is used. I have found multiple behavior/stability iss…

There are meaningful things on other social media that make them Pareto distributed too and I disagree that the SNR of HN is higher than elsewhere

To be fair almost all of Hacker News is a vapid waste of time too

I've been running a SIGECOM chapter at UIUC and the main theme over the past four/five months is people meme-ing about Beanstalk and how its such a shit show. My original concern h…

I did 72hr fasts and averaged about a pound lost per day at the fastest (i mostly ate eggs and cream cheese when i did eat anything). I exercised pretty heavily too but entirely ca…

Clayton Christensen wrote about this extensively in The Innovator's Dilemma. I read it and enjoyed it

competition from miners to accept fees will still exist

I think the main point the (grand?) parent is saying is that "Apple is in the phone business" isn't a reasonable description of Apple. I agree that Apple hosting itself on its own …

I believe gating features or giving preference to tracking/not-tracking is a violation of GDPR

Am I the only one who finds it funny that Bernie Madoff died within hours of Coinbase going public?

Can you be more specific?

I also feel that most science, math, and engineering is much more axiomatic than law and finance. It is easy to guarantee that things don't break when you have reasonable assumptio…

>The US could spend half of what it currently spends on the military and still be twice as powerful in terms of military force as the rest of the world combined. Do you have a sour…

I can't speak for California, but Illinois requires these things to be public (either automatically or via a FOIA request). Most state FOIAs work in the same way, but maybe with di…

Interesting. Ive only looked into Wyoming and Illinois. If I pursue this path, what should I do to prepare? Thanks

Mostly finances, economics, mathematics and law. Looking into self teaching a JD track (currently a Math undergrad at UIUC so ill probably follow the JD curriculum here) but I need…

The USPS also uses Jeeps in the sticks, but those aren't common enough to be seen by most people.

Something to note is that most physical things that are banned are one-time-use (drugs, organs, etc), whereas the shelf life and resale value of the gun are much longer. Also the c…

There's also the Killdozer with Marvin Heemeyer but it was a bulldozer effectively turned into a tank

There's a lot of policy to encourage competition that isn't regulation. The USPS helped with early airplane development by contracting out mail delivery to civilian pilots, and gra…

I've had issues with Rust and OpenSSL, but that's because its effectively just FFI bindings. Rust, by default, links all dependencies statically except for libc, libm and other ass…
