God damn that cat is chill as hell.

I was in a crowd of ten thousand people screaming "FUCK MIKE LEE" and god damn did it feel good and god damn do I want that to happen again where he can hear it.
Here's the source code: https://codeberg.org/kramo/sly
It's licensed under the GPL! That's a huge plus for me.
Still, the drug’s average price of $466,200 a year is staggering even for rare-disease treatments.
What uh, the fuck‽
Hey!
Hey assholes!
What the fuck are you doing‽ This medicine is literally just a salt of an incredibly commonplace medicine that's been around for 50 fucking years. I get that you need to pay for your R&D costs and profit on top of that, but does that actually justify charging patients and insurance companies almost half a million dollars a year?
I fucking hate it. I'm glad that the people suffering from a horrific disease can have relief, but it makes me so fucking mad that they get a 466k yearly tax on their fucking lives.
At least the ACA's preexisting conditions thing hasn't been rolled back.
I was in a crowd of people screaming "FUCK MIKE LEE" on Saturday and god do I want to scream it again now. Mike Lee is such a worthless cunt and I'm furious that he supposedly represents me.
I wonder what the maximum theoretical efficiency is. The article says the current system is 20% efficient, which is not exactly good. I'm not a physicist so take this all with a grain of salt. They're going to have to overcome generation losses (this article says diode lasers can be 60% efficient but have Problems™), transmission losses (the inverse square law is a bitch, and they'll have to contend with atmospheric absorption and scattering), and receiving losses (they're using PVs which are famously not super duper efficient). I'm sure they're working on all of this, and it seems reasonable that you might be able to get power transmission up to, say, 50% efficiency. That's great and has its uses, but it's not going to replace transmission lines, batteries, solar panels, and gas generators. Plus, we're talking about sending 10 kilowatts of power across 200 km via light. Can you imagine how dangerous that would be? Like, what happens to anything in the path of that laser beam? What happens if the light gets reflected? a 10kW CW laser is no fucking joke!
EDIT: I could see this being useful for recharging/powering drones or something. It also seems like it would be much more useful in space where atmospheric scattering becomes a nothing burger.
Pig. It was INCREDIBLY emotionally effective and made me cry SO HARD FOR LIKE 20 MINUTES. Holy shit what a good movie.
Each VM can be sized appropriately for the demands of the container. With docker desktop, you can't have a container use all of your system cores without making the VM have access to all of your cores all the time always. One of the biggest benefits (imo) of running containers on a Linux workstation is that if you don't define a CPI limit, a container can use all the compute/memory on your system. You just can't do that with Docker desktop. This also affects multi threaded container builds when you're using buildkit.
Being able to spin up a vm to build a container with all cores accessible to it, and then run the actual container with a smaller number of cores would make container builds so much faster.
EDIT: I've looked, and it appears that podman desktop also does 1 big VM, rather than having 1 VM per container.
I'm not sure. To me, the most interesting thing is that each container gets its own VM. I don't know if podman does that or not. I'd guess not, since CoreOS isn't the lightest OS around (I've used CoreOS and Flatcar extensively at my job and it's a lil chunky as far as immutable container host OSes go).

Absolutely fucking yes w.r.t. the characters being stupid in the show. In the books, the people from Preservation are incredibly competent.
TV SHOW AND BOOK SPOILERS
As an example, book Mensah would NOT have had a fucking panic attack dragging a sensor up a mountain alone because she would not have been foolish enough to put herself in that situation. Book Mensah does not take needless risks. She only does inadvisable things when her moral code requires her to do so.Mensah and the other preservation folks are acting too much like the corporates. The books show you that living under a corporate boot makes you stunted and limited because that's a natural consequence of the profit-focused environment they create. Preservation cares about people, so the people from there are well rounded and don't do stupid things quite as often.
It's really hurting my enjoyment of the show. Why can't we have competence porn like we used to with shows like TNG and DS9?
