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 graphics driver in Summer 2019

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 issues that I’ve fixed on my own (exposed though OSdev-adjacent work) and submitted to the mailing list

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 had to do with the stability lever only working to decrease the value, so it inherently requires a "distinct triangular shape" to keep itself running. I didn't take it seriously enough to do a deeper analysis (mostly because I'd find something like this, but I can't really do anything with it legally) but there's about $10k invested in the ecosystem as LPs/bond-owners within my group of friends.

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 cardio (physically weaker obviously so don’t want to fail lifts). I went from 255lbs to 200lbs over the course of two months (currently sitting at 180 but that’s because I’ve released it quite a bit)

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 platform is an abuse of market position (especially for something as peripheral as music), but to claim that music/audio isn't a/hasn't been core part of Apple's business model is ridiculous.

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?
