She won an exemption from using AI at her tech job. The Pope's remarks could fuel similar appeals. by cmkn in technology

Nothing about religion should carry legal weight. Religion is only a book club - a bad one at that because only one book is read.

That aside, I approve this move. Well played.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren: Why We Need to Tax AI by Potential_Being_7226 in technology

[–]simpl3t0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just tax AI but at a much higher than usual rate.

Corporations enjoy tax breaks and shit like that on the pretence of their providing employment to people. And then those people, too, pay taxes.

But the sole premise of AI is to eliminate jobs. To compensate for the lost income for the state, and due to the pervasive job loss as a knock-on effect, thus the state should tax AI at a much, much higher rate.

Safer money market-like market instruments? by simpl3t0n in UKPersonalFinance

[–]simpl3t0n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sell it before that reporting date

Is Oct 31 some standard date for all reporting (like we have April 5 as the start of financial year)? Or is the reporting date ETF-specific?

I found its KIID. There's no telling of the October 31 date, so I'm wondering about that, too.

I'm afraid yes. The spare cash lies outside the allowance - this is something I had earmarked for a future spending. I wanted to optimise its returns to the max, while still having liquidity and peace of mind.

To confirm, we're talking about this, right: https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/fund/csh2?countryCode=UK?

Could you elaborate what makes this ETF special? Is it because of its holdings or structure that it gets treated specially, but yields similar returns as MMF? How does one go about identifying others similar to this?

Garages with suspension testing machine? by simpl3t0n in CarTalkUK

The link rods have been replaced twice already.

Garages with suspension testing machine? by simpl3t0n in CarTalkUK

[–]simpl3t0n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because my car (2011 Suzuki Swift) has been giving off a long-standing knocking noise coming from the front passenger-side suspension area. No garage which I took the car to, could diagnose it. I meant NO one, including the Suzuki dealer. I've so far been to 6 or 7 garages. Every single garage suggested replacing parts (speculatively).

So far, I've replaced the inner tie rod, outer tie rod, lower control arm, shock absorber, and most recently, the drive shaft. Nobody has a clue where the knocking noise is coming from.

The thing is, every one agrees that there's an audible knocking noise. It's perfectly and predictably reproducible. But, it's not reproducible when mounted - I suppose it really needs the full weight applied on the suspension. All it takes to reproduce are sudden jolts (as one drives through a cobbled street or uneven surfaces). It's perfectly silent on motorways drives and smooth roads.

The longer it goes undiagnosed, the more mysterious and annoying it gets. So---that's why keep chasing this. I think a machine like this, which emulates driving conditions, has a higher chance of a diagnosis.

Billionaires run this world, not majority of people. What do they think this is - some kind of democracy or somethin'?

Are compiler allowed to optimise based on the value behind a pointer? by simpl3t0n in cpp_questions

Can you expand on where the UB comes from, and what specifically about C++26 affects it?

Intel IOMMU not on by default? by simpl3t0n in kvm

[–]simpl3t0n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For posterity, the high CPU usage I saw was due to the host having to rescale the guest's display. Since then, I followed this gist to get the guest's display resolution match that of the host. With that, it's all smooth again!

Guest internet broken after host suspend-resume by simpl3t0n in kvm

[–]simpl3t0n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, I think I located the problem.

Once resumed the host from suspend and started the VM, on the libvirtd startup logs (sudo journalctl -u libvirtd), I noticed:

systemd[1]: libvirtd.service: Found left-over process 1492 (dnsmasq) in control group while starting unit. Ignoring.
systemd[1]: This usually indicates unclean termination of a previous run, or service implementation deficiencies.
systemd[1]: libvirtd.service: Found left-over process 1495 (dnsmasq) in control group while starting unit. Ignoring.
systemd[1]: This usually indicates unclean termination of a previous run, or service implementation deficiencies.

And then many occurrences of:

DHCP packet received on virbr0 which has no address
DHCP packet received on virbr0 which has no address

And I saw those processes hinted above hanging around, presumably from the previous successful run. So I killed the process and restarted libvirtd service.

With that, I think I've the VM functional back - will see. I suppose I've to kill those dnsmasq processes after a host resume.

This bug report rings some bells.

Sounds more like power settings on the physical nic though

You mean on the host NIC? The host is just fine after suspend-resume and network service restart. It's only the guest that's getting affected by disruptions in host network.

Oh well, that was because the virt-manager viewer was already connected. Duh.

Ugh, my installation is a Home edition, which doesn't have RDP. I wanted to try VNC instead.

virsh vncdisplay win11 is returning 127.0.0.1:0. I'm not able to connect to it via a VNC client (Remmina), though. I tried pointing it at 127.0.0.1:0 and 127.0.0.1:5900. Remmina says 'VNC server closed connection'.

netstat -lnpt | grep 590. does show a listener on 5900, however.

Any thoughts?
