Granted I took AP Chem 20 years ago, but I don't remember those names (sigma and pi bonds) being covered at all. (I got a 5 on the test, for what it's worth.)

Yeah but it isn't just unethical, it's also deeply stupid -- you will be caught.

I'm not saying this as a hypothetical -- I believe xAI is already renting their GPU farm out to frontier labs. Whatever logistical challenges exist, enough of them seem to have been overcome.

Don't they just rent them out to the frontier AI shops? They're not sitting idle.

> The membarrier syscall can fail to allocate, returning ENOMEM.

This is mentioned in the source comment, but not documented in the membarrier(2) manual page.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v7.1.2/source/kernel/sched/...

In reality... what is it allocating?

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v7.1.2/source/kernel/sched/...

Ok, so it needs to allocate a cpumask (tiny) under some usages.

Similar requirement in other sites, e.g.: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v7.1.2/source/kernel/sched/...

Depending on kernel config (e.g., !CONFIG_CPUMAKS_OFFSTACK), this allocation literally cannot fail:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v7.1.2/source/include/linux...

On OFFSTACK configs, it's merely a tiny heap allocation:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v7.1.2/source/lib/cpumask.c...

If this fails, your system is already hosed; program abort vs kernel lock up a few seconds later is probably immaterial. I think folly's choice to abort is a reasonable one.

I can't object to any of that. If you can swing the space for a squat rack at home, it's pretty life-changing. Highly recommend.

Lift weights, but like 30-60 minutes 3x a week is plenty. You definitely don't have to do it multiple times a day if that would be inconvenient.

Virtually no one puts on 30 kg of muscle by weight training without steroids. Certainly not by accident. Those are like college-NFL football numbers.

Inflation? I don't think this comment could have better intentionally illustrated how ill-informed it is if you tried.

The root problem is drunk people lighting off a bunch of rocket-propelled explosives, actually. Even if the houses were fireproof concrete bunkers, they'd still be starting wildfires in the grass/brush/trees. (And of course, it's more than "a few dollars.")

> said a review of a recent data security incident with the company's controversial mouse-tracking software indicated that no employee data was included in AI training.

That's... not quite right. The employee data is used in AI training and is intended to be used this way. But despite not correctly ACLing the data for a couple weeks, it is believed it was not accessed inappropriately.

Are you saying that lying isn't considered poor behavior by Wikipedia or what? I don't believe that.

Oh, well, if a critic fails your ideological purity test, I guess that must mean there can't be any valid criticisms.

There's a lot of real things you can criticize the current admin for, but "recession" isn't one of them.
