I 100% agree with this and was just talking about this in another thread on one of my earlier comments. I love what Plan 9 and Oberon was working on. I feel many are feeling similar at this point given the frequency I'm running into this and also I myself wanting to solve for it. Awesome!

I think the networking layer should be built off of http://PJON-technologies.com - it's perfect for standardizing the next layer of networking and without depending on any ISP or centralized authority that also has support for multiple "packet/connection" protocols (LoraWAN, Light, Ethernet, and more).

I am going through a history lesson right now on studying older OS's and why they didn't take off while also getting my feet wet with Forth and lower-level hardware experiments. I still have no idea how video truly works, that's something that's been bugging me from a first principles perspective and I want to understand that more intuitively. Something I keep asking myself is: "How do I poke at the video card and make it display stuff without having to use a OS level API that wraps openGL or similar?" - I know some will be shocked at that question and some may go "woah, actually I don't know that" - we're in an interesting generational leap with where knowledge has been in the zeitgeist of computation and networks.

The OG's are in a particular precious bucket where they've done their part and not that active or have been yelling the current stack is wrong but it's hard to find their voices. Then you have the hackers and hardware folk who learned a lot pre-internet that may or may not be active on the typical net's hanging out only in Plan 9 esoteric rooms saying how good the internet was before marketing took over, and then the dot com boom generation which either knows the earlier internet or thinks the internet is only social media and search engines.

I want to make the internet feel adventurous and fun again like the 90's. I want it to be focused on individuals and not organizations. It was exciting because you connected to people, today you don't do that anymore - you interface with some centralized entity that exposes you to products. I have more to say here that is a lot more nuanced but you get my gist.

Urbit is doing something similar to what you're saying, however I personally don't like their networking model and a few other decisions that just feel contrived to me. Plus I want to get my feet wet and understand the layers myself from a first principles perspective so I can add to it as I am imagining it.

Sounds like a new dawn of innovation is bubbling.

> and yet where that precompilation implies a burning-in of an installation prefix at build time

Not necessarily. Plenty of software uses relative paths that work regardless of prefix. Off the top of my head, Node.js is distributed in this way.

> you’d need to add that /usr/pkg directory to an unbounded number of little scripts here and there to make things truly work.

How so? Are there that many scripts that entirely replace the PATH environment variable? In Linux, I just include my system wide path additions in /etc/profile which will be set for every login. For things like cron jobs or service scripts, which don't inherit the environment of a login shell, you will need to source the profile or use absolute paths, but that's about the only caveat I can think of.
>in order to not abandon it you have to maintain it: fix security issues, update outdated dependencies, update tooling so that you can still run/compile with non outdated tools and so on.

If you step back a little, you can see a "positive" feedback loop. The entire issue is that maintainers have to catch crazy rabbits who have no rest, change things and abandon "old" versions that worked but were not perfect. Perfect is the enemy of good.
In a more dramatic example, Virginia Tech strung together over a thousand PowerMac G5s in a cluster they called the “Big Mac”, and it was one of the fastest (and cheapest) supercomputers of the world at the time. Unfortunately its lack of ECC RAM made its failure rate so high it would have trouble even booting. They dismantled it and sold the machines away one at a time and replaced the entire thing with an Xserve array instead, which had ECC.

> Are those the main threats?

Maybe? Your threat model may vary. If you're very focused on happy news, most people's network use is not tampered with in a way that directly interferes with their enjoyment most of the time. If that's really all you wanted then you can reason TLS is unnecessary for you†

If the coffee shop uses WPA3 and not any older version (do you check?) and if you have your own secret password for the coffee shop WiFi not shared with anybody else (do you?) then WPA3 means crab probably cannot impersonate your coffee shop's WiFi router by hanging out in the coffee shop, although there are plenty of problems in practice with WPA3 implementations.

But what if crab runs the coffee shop WiFi anyway? Do you interview coffee shop owners about who provides their WiFi? It's just a cheap way to keep customers in the shop (if it's the sort of coffee shop that wants to do that) and who provides it and why isn't top of the owner's mind.

Maybe the family owned coffee shop just uses the stock ISP WiFi router and they're paying $50 per month like everybody else in the neighbourhood for Internet access. But, is that ISP the most scrupulous business? They can make money if they inject advertisements into your browsing, or if they can at least associate your address to specific browsing activity so that can be monetized. Perhaps even if the ISP itself is high-minded enough to turn these opportunities down an individual ISP employee is not, network engineers can certainly choose to eavesdrop easily enough.

† But you aren't using TLS just for you. We must all hang together or most assuredly we shall all hang separately. If only a relative minority of people use protocols which provide them with features like confidentiality, those people stand out more easily to be attacked. Don't Stand Out is an increasingly important property to protect us all by sheer numbers.

Exactly! I purchased a 4G router[1] with an external antenna to ensure a sufficiently good connection for four people on a small Croatian island. After three months, I am positive that most people would be perfectly fine (or even better off) with just a 4G antenna on their roof. Our speeds were around 50-120/10-20Mbps with a 60-100ms latency to Zoom's closest server, depending on the weather.

That's a weird way to think about software. Every released version of every product is already "done". Once you take a dependency there is no obligation to keep updating it, no matter what features the maintainers may add to future versions.

In this case, considering the creators are discouraging people from using the package and explicitly saying there won't be future bug fixes, TZ/locale updates etc., it is pretty clear that done really means deprecated.
Thanks ! Are there other great math papers or articles with a similar "without the agonizing pain" approach, for other topics that might be interesting ?

I think it's what Urbit markets itself as, but the implementation is "just a VM" - with the potential to innovate further. The networking layer is where I thought they'd make a difference but they ended up settling just for the same address space issue we have today IMO without trying to disrupt TCP/IP/BGP/DNS. I severely dislike the Ethereum decision.
I detest ad-driven models and especially ad-driven social media, but this could actually make the problem worse, unless they can profit by a different means. It takes tons of expensive resources and talent to identify, stop, and prevent information/psychological warfare campaigns like these in a haystack of hundreds of millions to billions of users, especially when your adversaries may be superpowers' world-class intelligence agencies and their affiliates, or dedicated intelligence firms like Cambridge Analytica.

It's hard enough for the existing companies. (And yes, I think they're genuinely trying. Or at least I think Twitter is.)

Take a look at the Teltonika RUTX11[1] with a MIMO LTE antenna from Poynting[2]. Not cheap, but certainly got good results with it. I used Cellmapper[3] to check where the closest tower was.

Remote Inning | Python/Django Backend Developer | Full Stack Developer (Django + React) | Remote (India) | Full-time or Part-time | https://www.remoteinning.com

Remote Inning is looking for Django Web Developer. We are looking for developers with qualities like consistency, reliability, working independently and communication skills especially written skills apart from tech skills.

As we are a remote-first company, you can work from a place of your choice. The position is open to candidates based in India only. Full-time salary is 10-15 LPA and hourly rate is INR 1500-1800 based on qualifications. The immediate requirement is for 1 developer but we will be hiring more developers soon.

- At least 3 years of experience working on custom web apps in Python/Django.

- You are not afraid to look into code of Django packages like Django Rest Framework when in doubt. And also look into the Django codebase when something is not clear from the Django documentation (rare as docs are great).

- Create and edit Django templates so a basic understanding of HTML, CSS and JavaScript is required. You know how to create template tags, filters and integrate SASS etc. The position requires nearly 80% backend and 20% frontend skills.

- Good understanding of Django class-based views.

- Good communication skills. As we are a remote-first development agency, good communication skills are a must. It does not mean writing in 100% accurate grammar. But understanding the feature requirements, ask questions early on and make sure the team gets the message properly. You know how to describe the issue, discuss and come up with the implementation.

- Wagtail experience is a plus but not required.

Email us at hello@remoteinning.com with Resume. Mention your development experience, motivation for applying to us and links to relevant projects.

> I've always wondered if its possible to write software that will run on computers with arbitrary number of memory heirarchy

I think that's already possible today - the Legion programming system claims to do exactly that (among other things). I have absolutely no experience with it though so I might be completely wrong.

(https://legion.stanford.edu/)

> By making the Legion programming system aware of the structure of program data, it can automate many of the tedious tasks programmers currently face, including correctly extracting task- and data-level parallelism and moving data around complex memory hierarchies.

Many (if not all?) CAS have some internal tree representation of mathematical structures, Mathematica is not the only one. I worked on such a system myself. To define data types for your expressions and then evaluate them via different algorithms is quite natural. So yes, we also used something like Integral(f, from: a, to: b) and then had like a gazillion techniques to actually evaluate that.

Proof assistants do something similar btw, they also encode mathematical expressions as (often recursive) data types and then prove things about those definitions.

edit: to be fair though, the LISP implementation proposed to use the Risch algorithm, which actually does give you symbolic antiderivatives. So that wouldn't be a valid critique of the implementation. There more salient points are a) that the Risch algorithm only works for a certain class of functions (those that have an elementary antiderivative) and b) that by not separating the definition of an integral from its evaluation, you're not able to manipulate it directly as an expression or to evaluate it via different methods (e.g. symbolic vs. numerical methods).

Just think about inputting $complicatedIntegral - $complicatedIntegral. This is clearly zero, but if your integral is "just a function", you're not able to see that and will spend an unreasonable amount of time computing it (twice, even), or worse, will fail to produce a result.

Nice job uncovering the link to Bannon. In the abstract, aside from the claim of ‘censorship by the scientific community’, I thought this line was a red flag: * In this report, we describe the genomic, structural, medical, and literature evidence...*

I'm wondering what consequences this might have? If I understand correctly, instead of having a precedent that establishes GPL infringement as a violation of authors’ rights, now cases will need to be individually processed in contract courts. This should extend the timeframe of related legal proceedings, as the act of “contract violation” will need to be judged every time.

It's in some way easier today than in the past. VMs really make testing much easier. On the other hand, the hardware has become more complex compared to some years ago when you could assume that all you needed was a little bit of assembly code to initialize the 32-bit mode of the x86 CPU and talk to the IDE interface.

Facebook trying to "optimize" the world for "social good" is probably one of the most frightening ideas I've seen mentioned this week.

If they are managing to do so much harm through indifference and greed just imagine what they could do if they were explicitly trying to manipulate the world for "good"?

Powerful groups who try to optimize the world have a pretty poor track record compared to those who just try to do their own stuff right and let the world sort itself out.
