What kind of websites do you have in mind when I talk about fraud patterns? not everything is a static website, and I absolutely agree with you on that point: If your static website is struggling under the load of a scraper there is something deeply wrong with your architecture. We live in wonderful times, Nginx on my 2015 laptop can gracefully handle 10k Requests per second before I even activate ratelimiting.

Unfortunately there are bad people out there, and they know how to write code. Take a look at popular websites like TikTok, amazon, or facebook. They are inundated by fraud requests whose goal is to use their services in a way that is harmful to others, or straight up illegal. From spam to money laundering. On social medial, bots impersonate people in an attempt to influence public discourse and undermine democracies.

> I really don't understand why Kent decides to take a stand on the hills he does

Yes, it confuses me as well. I appreciate Kent has some different opinions and that's okay, but it's not that hard to comply with the Linux dev process? And while one can reasonably disagree with some aspects of that, it's not like the process is unreasonable. And it's not like Linus is that inflexible either – if it makes sense to break a rule then that's always an option.

The context is [1]. Some of these commits probably sound reasonable to pull (e.g. the regression fixes). But an entire new feature? wat? After all the previous discussions about this type of thing, I cannot phantom why Kent thought this would pass without conflict.

bcachefs being pulled was one of my predictions for 2025 by the way.[2] I hoped I was wrong, but it's not a shock to anyone who has followed how things have been going.

My fantasy is they create an entirely new product line called something like “Chunky” or maybe “Thiccc”. The idea is that it would have plenty of user replaceable modules. Everything would be swappable. The battery, the memory, the drives. Of course, this would still be a premium product. It would have expansion modules for things nobody has thought of yet. It’s a new market with unlimited opportunities

This might be useful to some if you need a very light pub/sub inside one process.

I was building a small multiplayer game in Go. Started with a channel fan-out but (for no particular reason) wanted to see if we can do better. Put together this tiny event bus to test, and on my i7-13700K it delivers events in 10-40ns, roughly 4-10x faster than the plain channel loop, depending on the configuration.

>See Musk's comments [0] and very obious regarding German politics, the CPAC gathering in Hungary, the ownership of euronews.com, the recent creation of r/europe_sub... We need to stop being passive about all of this, or democracy will become a historical note, and not something that we all enjoy on a day-to-day basis.

What exactly are the actual issues and the solutions you propose other than speech censorship to ban the right wing opinions you dislike? Your post is just reddit style left wing virtue signaling, while not talking about any actual issues the people are having that make them vote right: cost of living, stagnating wages, illegal immigrations, wealth inequality etc. People in EU don't care if a US billionaire Elon makes the Nazi salute in the US, where it's not illegal, when they can't afford to pay rent. It's a non-issue in EU outside the terminally online redditors left wing bubble.

>We have all taken democracy for granted, like breathable air.

We don't have a democracy when the EU representative, Ursula v.d. Leyen is not democratically elected by the people and whenever the people try to vote for a right wing candidate those candidates get banned/excluded form elections to "protect democracy" which is ironic and is what's causing the disdain of the voters and right wing shift, away from the status quo: people don't feel represented by their leaders and dislike the censorship masquerading as "protection of democracy" happening in Europe.

There is no evidence from Apple’s breakout of iPhone revenue that sales or “plummeting”. They are stagnant.

And statistics show that the average person buys a new phone every 3 years. Apple’s laptop sales are also stagnate and not declining.

Most people use laptops - not desktops. There is no six year old laptop that has the combination of speed, battery life, quietness and lack of heat that a modern M series Mac has.

Okay so there's a deficit among the 'refined information' concerning organomercury compounds.

But regarding vaccines, there's been some bad road.

A recent 'novel' approach had something routinely escaping the injection site into the bloodstream infusing the entire body from head to toe, even unborn infants, by virtue of its no-brainer nano size alone. And medical science pretended this was not a potential problem.

Is there an opportunity for reusable OSS rule systems? It seems that every government at every level could use an expressive system for defining and versioning them.

I suspect part of the gap here is, as you note, everything technical is outsourced and so there is not enough institutional capacity to envision and execute what would be a quite revolutionary re-architecture.

I find it extremely frustrating that the government is able to spend tens of millions on contractors for an IT project, but can’t pay market rate for in-house engineers, even if those would be cheaper in the long run.

I'm sorry, but this is a terrible article - I wonder if written by AI itself.

The AI usage appears to be minimal and not so different than what "regular algorithms" did in the past. Most importantly, they won't use works to train generative AI, a fact buried deep in the article.

In other words, Kobo appears to be using AI in ways where AI does its best work. The title, then, is borderline clickbait and AI fearmongering.

It's important to know that the correlation can have some other cause. Like that people with predisposition to schizophrenia may seek out drugs.

Keep in mind also the typical onset for schizophrenia is teenage years or early 20s in men, and is often later, up to early 30s in women. These are years you might experiment with drugs.

Apple’s MO, at least in recent decades, is to let others blaze the trail into a new space, then do their own version that gets it right.

Smartphones were a big deal before the iPhone. People would talk about how they were addicted to checking email on their “crackberries.” But they were niche. You could see that they were going to be big, but they weren’t there yet. Then the iPhone catapulted smartphones from a popular niche to a ubiquitous product.

Before the iPhone, they did the same thing with portable music players. Afterwards, it was the same story for tables and smart watches, although not with the same degree of ubiquity. Arguably it was the same for PCs (“personal computers,” not IBM-compatible machines, of course) and GUIs, way back when.

What big upcoming thing would they do this with now? As you say, there really isn’t anything. Maybe VR/AR, but that isn’t even in the “popular niche” stage yet, the technology isn’t there yet, and it’s far from certain that it will ever be more than a tiny niche. Otherwise, what? Self-driving cars? That’s not a new market, that’s a product feature in an existing large, mature market. AI? That’s also looking like a feature rather than a new product category.

That's what you get when an expert financial trader makes a company. He wanted billions from the start ... so how to do it? There's only one way, really: a pyramid scheme. But an atypical one: get lots of sales, lots of revenue and change any profit into capital. This is quite a common plan in Western Europe, and that's why it doesn't work there.

Why would you do that? Well companies are taxed on profit. And the money you pay to investors ... is also paid out of the profit. No profit -> all the money stays in the company, under the control of management, ready to be deployed on yachts and castles for the CEO. Governments get nothing. Investors get nothing.

Jeff Bezos (and very early investors) get everything. If they get desperate there is a buyback (no doubt matched by a greater stock package for the top of the company).

This is a pyramid scheme because the whole company only works because it only makes extremely minimal profit. If it starts demanding profit it will be eaten alive by competition in no time at all. Money has to be invested in, flows to the top, and is taken out at the top. No doubt Bezos was utterly baffled by the success of it and therefore isn't yet out, but ...

Read his text more carefully:

> I can't just store my prompts in git and know that I'll get the same behavior each time

He's not on this idea of using english as source code. He explicitly acknowledges that it doesn't work that way (although he's vague in what _actually_ would replace this).

In summary, he's not talking about english as source code.

It _could_ be that someone else figures out how to use english as authoritative source, but that's not what he's talking about.

In that sense, he's talking about using LLMs as the IDE, tooling. It's not that different from using mutation testing (not something I would commit to the repo), and I stand by my original statement that this is not "unprecedent" as it seems.

The great thing about AI, it is finally a killer feature that is enjoyed and useful by every user worldwide. And the tech industry finally have an excuse to up sell 16GB as baseline, and perhaps even try to push 24 or 32GB Memory, along with GPU / NPU and CPU upgrade.

For users, a few hundred dollar extra ( on top of the original purchase ) is a such a small number compared to the productivity gain over the usage span of the computer.

AI alone not only increased the server hardware requirement but also user client requirement. It is basically the question everyone has been asking, what is after Smartphone? And to a degree it is AI. ( or LLM )

This will easily push the whole Semi-Conductor Industry forward all the way to 2032 ~ 2035. We will be at 8A or 6A by then.

PCIe 7? possibly PCIe 8? WiFi 9 which is a fixed version of WiFi 8. There are so many great Hardware improvement coming out all because of the demand of greater computing usage.

Software side has been rather boring TBH. I really like the phase Allan Kay uses to describe modern days software are "reinventing the flat tire".

Cloud Code is a free Mac OS that gives Claude Code a UI.

The most important features of this app are:

- local checkpointing (to undo changes)

- Parallel runs

- General Computer Use UI

This app uses your claude code account on your local computer so you can use any of the same /commands and mcp servers you would typically use.

Also we have a nice ui for file search and system message changes so that you can broaden your use-cases of claude code more easily.

I'm an indie dev working on this project with a full time job so focusing on what people want is extremely important. I'm looking for feedback and any other feature requests that you wish Claude code had natively!

What do people think is a realistic outcome here?

In a global economy, no country can stop deployment of consumer AI for digital goods unless you go full North Korea.

If you want some kind of international moratorium I'm all ears, but whining at people for buying AI digital art for $0 instead of graphic designers for $10,000 is utterly pointless. At best, you'll get them to buy art from Philippine designers... who are using AI... for $.50.

I have reservations about AI, but what do you gain with this approach? Guilt and national protectionism is utterly pointless.

The overlap in concepts required to understand Bloom filters, sets and hash tables is about 95% IMHO. A set is a hash table used for membership tests where you only care about the key, not the value. And a Bloom filter is just a set that exploits the fact that many-to-one hashing 'compresses' the key-space with collisions. It deliberately uses a very collide-y hash function. If a specific key was ever hashed, you WILL get a hit, but there might be other keys that produced the same hash. It's a feature, not a bug.

The initial sequence is 1, 3, 7, 12, 18, 26, 35, etc. The difference between each term in that sequence produces a second sequence: 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, etc. If you merge those two sequences together in sorted order, you get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc. Each whole number appears in the result exactly once.

There are many TNXB SNPs and many are not rare, while I can theorize that the number and severity of the SNPs can explain a spectrum I don't have enough data to prove it. The data that I do have is highly improbable to be from random chance, but not impossible so I'm still collecting and am open to being wrong.

> Does encasing electronics in lead help against high energy cosmic rays?

Makes them worse unless and until you make the shielding several times thicker than anything you'd be able to launch from the ground. Watched one science program that demonstrated it beautifully where the interviewee stuck several balloons on a board and shot at it with a high-powered rifle, popping just one. Then he stuck a metal plate in front of the balloons and shot it, and the resulting shrapnel popped all the balloons behind it. That's a cosmic ray hitting shielding.

That's also an unsolved problem with any Mars trip. Electronics can be built redundantly to recover from cosmic ray hits. Humans not so much.

All the negativity really is an understandable response to so many negative changes to the status quo way of life, but I can't help but take a step back as a realist and say that Pandora's box is open.

That is not to say we are powerless to regulate aspects of how this technology is legally utilized, but this sort of quasi-luddite "turn it off" response is totally infeasible.

The best bet we have for making the AI future suck less is by building things which make life more compatible with AI. That means a revamp of how we handle intellectual property, how we handle education, how we manage an economy humanely in a world where human labor potential is comparatively diminished.

We need to focus upward toward the things that can make humanity able to handle the transition. Not downward toward the sand where we can pretend it isn't happening.

EDIT: please respond if you're going to take away my karma for my honest opinion. I use AI almost every waking hour but we have to be realists about the impacts on society

I'm so fascinated by the few people online who show up to anything web component related just to flame and complain. It's always the same things too.

DSD is useful for SSRing web components, which allows them to render and work without JS. But honestly, I don't get the obsession with doing stuff without JS, it's part of the html/css/js trifecta.
Save Your Future, Revisited: From Survival Guide to Privacy Manifesto
by ricecat | 2025-06-29 15:28:58+00:00
Previously, I posted an article titled “Save Your Future: A Realist’s Guide to Cyberpunk Survival”. It was an attempt to outline what individuals — especially developers, hackers, and digital misfits — can do today to prepare for the strange future we’re already living through. The piece focused on three key survival principles: mastering old-school tech, relying on free and open-source software (FOSS), and protecting personal privacy not through isolation, but through architecture.

One of the responses I received on Reddit nailed something deeper......

......

Why I'm Writing This

For the past five years, I’ve been deeply involved in the W3C privacy review process. That means sitting with specs, working with browser vendors, studying side channels, and anticipating how data might leak even when no one intended it to....

> Have/adopt a child instead.

> Just don't use it as a form of giving up on fundamental human needs, you're more resourceful than that.

This glib advice is what lands you in an uncomfortable HR meeting or is the reason you won't get invited back for game nights. This will be deeply hurtful to families struggling with fertility or adoption and to individuals who experienced the foster system.

Neither apathy nor ignorance affect adoption or pregnancy. Families will be excluded by the staggering costs, marital status, employment history, disability, and gender and sexual identity.

Ive written a few versions of this reply. Some included my personal background having been moved by protective services, or some emotional stories about my siblings in the foster system, some with swears, and one was simply "check yourself." The issue is deeply personal. More advocacy is always appreciated, but I implore you to tune in.

You absolutely can do modern gaming on it. I literally have 2 friends in our gaming group that are still rocking 970 in their desktops.

They have had to replace the fans on the graphics card a few times and a repaste but other than that they are chugging away.

Also solid lol on "frame generation". Marketing fluff/features like that only exists but because they have run out of real generational performance gains to sell cards with.

I have been developing the project solo on a private GitHub repo since 2020. I am not VC-backed or whatever else, Octelium has been a solo effort so far basically. The project itself is now 100% open source as you can see. However, even if I open sourced the initial private repo, what would make you believe that I am who I really am? maybe even all those git commits from 2020 weren't really from 2020 and their timestamps have been spoofed to make you believe so. If 100% of the codebase of the project being open source is still not enough, I guess nothing can be enough.

Yeah, but you're mentioning things that are short term trends. The longer term trend starts with motor vehicles driving through in mass numbers, everywhere.

It'd certainly be something quite testable, as you'd expect a lot of different segments, including inner city, dense pop vs rural pop, and the rest.

It should be easily rejected or accepted, so rather than a bunch of down votes, you'd think someone had reviewed the lit in the last several decades. Lead in gasoline was stopped at the end of 1990, so you'd think there's a clear cohort to compare with

>Hacked code signing certificates seem to be all over the place and Microsoft seems very reluctant to revoke trust out of fear of actually breaking their original customers' software.

AFAIK most (all?) code signing CAs are cracking down on this (or maybe Microsoft is pushing them) by mandating that signing keys be on physical or cloud hosted HSMs. For instance if you try to buy a digicert code signing certificate, all the delivery options are either cloud or physical HSMs.

The tool has a great potential, but I always found it too limited, fiddly, or imprecise when I needed to optimize some code.

It only supports consecutive instructions in the innermost loops. It can't include nor even ignore any setup/teardown cost. This means I can't feed any function as-is (even a tiny one). I need to manually cut out the loop body.

It doesn't support branches at all. I know it's a very hard problem, but that's the problem I have. Quite often I'd like to compare branchless vs branchy versions of an algorithm. I have to manually remove branches that I think are predictable and hope that doesn't alter the analysis.

It's not designed to compare between different versions of code, so I need to manually rescale the metrics to compare them (different versions of the loop can be unrolled different number of times, or process different amount of elements per iteration, etc.).

Overall that's laborious, and doesn't work well when I want to tweak the high-level C or Rust code to get the best-optimizing version.

This drivel is worse than ChatGPT.

There is no deep insight.

It is highly formulaic and mechanical:

1. Find a controversy

2. Invent a trend

3. Get quotes from some people who agree with you

4. Mention “ethics” all at a very superficial level.

5. Publish

You would be much better served by having a 15 minute conversation with ChatGPT about this topic than reading this article.

Frankly, you might as well. It's an inevitability that you'll have to do that.

If you're talking about charging a phone, the usb-c ecosystem is literally never going to give you even a single instance of annoyance. If you're talking about lightning and laptop sized power delivery then, yes the cables need better labeling, but all of those cables are going to work for charging a phone.
