Great choice, using some of that VC money for things that actually benefit the world

I quite liked it. I recommend watching it sometime too.

If you know any other movies like it, feel free to recommend them.

sex allows the invoker to have sex with the user(s) specified in the command line. If no users are specified, they are taken from the LOVERS environment variable. Options to make things more interesting are as follows:

Context: Voyager shows these options which results in a large amount of reports just being "Breaks community rules" with no info or reason whatsoever.

An interesting point for me was that they acknowledged the flaws in their previous benchmarks.

We owe a word on durability. The previous round of benchmark results ran with fsync disabled for every engine - leaving each database's writes in the OS page cache rather than flushed to disk. Every database in the comparison ran with the same setting, so nothing was being "fudged" relative to the other engines, but we didn't make the setting explicit, and the headline numbers ended up describing a workload that most production deployments would not likely run.This round is different. Every database in these benchmarks runs with full disk durability enabled - fsync on, WAL flushed on every commit, no buffered writes hiding behind the page cache. The configuration files for each engine are checked into the  so anyone can audit them. The numbers above are what each engine sustains when every committed transaction is on disk before the client gets an acknowledgement. That's slower than the cache-friendly numbers you'll find in some marketing posts, ours included, but it's the only honest way to compare databases that are going to outlive a power outage.

For anyone else that is interested in what came of him:

Xu was expelled from the CCP and sentenced to five years in prison. He lived the rest of his life exiled from Beijing and died in 2021 at the age of 85.

I'll go first.

  • I think there is a strong pro-Linux bias. It wouldn't surprise me if 40+% use it on here.
  • People from the US seem over-represented, but less so compared to Reddit
  • There is a far stronger anti-capitalist sentiment on here than other social media
  • The average age seems to be much higher. I joined when I was 16 and feel quite young unlike on other social media.

If people act like that on 196, please report it

That's not to say the two men don't think AI will be helpful in the future. Indeed, Torvalds noted one good side effect already: "NVIDIA has gotten better at talking to Linux kernel developers and working with Linux memory management," because of its need for Linux to run AI's large language models (LLMs) efficiently.

… this is what the elites in Europe have come to… hedonism, lack of loyalty except to personal desires, no sense of responsibility to anything bigger than self-interest. Sadly, the USA is headed the same way if the liberals, leftists, progressives, socialists, and Democrats continue to have their way with our government, schools, and children…

… The socialist mindset has made Europeans lazy and entitled. …

I’m not sure what I expected from the comments but it certainly wasn’t that.

A new Linux vulnerability known as 'Looney Tunables' enables local attackers to gain root privileges by exploiting a buffer overflow weakness in the GNU C Library's ld.so dynamic loader.

It’s always memory management

Wouldn't it be better to have more specific tags like movies? e.g. "Sexual content", "Gore", "Death", "Violence" or for content that you truly want to avoid; "US Politics".

Better than coal or oil, it might even result in more R&D into reactor designs.

Every syntax highligher shows this and VSCode even has a special case for this, this is not a real issue.
