Well, thank you for spoiling it, now I'll need to read Electra's instead.

I always wanted to write a story about a bunch of people in a lab, playing god. In this universe there would be no rings of hell, the reader would also know there wasn't, but I think it would still grip the reader. Like an inverse hero's journey.
I'm using Tiptap 2 (https://next.tiptap.dev) at the moment, how does Bangle compares to it?
The same is true in many other data science branches (such as physics). Perl was the perfect glue language in the 90s but then got more and more replaced by python. I think one reason for that is Numpy/Pylab, which makes python a perfect replacement for proprietary Matlab codes. All at once, scientists can write most of their codes in a single language/software ecosystem which also feels relatively close to mathematical notation, at least you can write equations similarly readable as in (modern) Fortran. The perl sigils really got out of fashion.
The issue right now is how wide the surface area is. People stand up on global soapboxes, and in turn, something you say on Twitter (or said 5 or 10 years ago) comes back to bite you in places where you never even came close to saying something like that. People take snapshots of what you say and assemble them to try to make unequivocal statements about who you are as a person. And the goal is not usually to "rehabilitate" the person, offering lenience and good-faith, and questioning what they meant to say; instead, people seem to want to see bridges burnt.

There's permanence to what we say on the internet, but there's not permanence to what the culture says you are allowed to say. People are getting retroactively canceled for things that were fine at the time, which I think can be an issue. Remember how people behaved in video games as little as 5 or 10 years ago?

It's stifling, and frustrating. It makes you afraid to have a personality, but at the same time it makes having the courage to have a personality more meaningful.

Tesla’s already changed the world. The fact that traditional car companies like VW can even make a bet to go all electric is because Tesla has showed it’s a viable and highly successful strategy.
Yes, what I mean is what happens when you close the last window. I've been surprised to discover over the past year that both Chrome and Firefox sometimes linger in the background. In case of Fx I suspected it's a bug; Chrome on Windows creates a tray icon under some conditions, that remains after all Chrome windows are closed, so I assume it's deliberate.
I mean, unless you take a US only view, it has already ended, surely? In the EU and China, the biggest markets for BEVs, they’re not the market leader.
I suppose not. I guess the homogeneity of opinion on this forum is a little surprising to me is all.
That's what foundations do: Siphon off money, live on the fruits of labor of idealists, and occasionally throw people under the bus to create fear and stay in power.

This was debated ad nauseam. First, regarding pedophilia, he was quoting a study published by The Guardian. Second, he backed dawn from his position already several years ago.

Now, imagine you quoted someone saying something controversial twenty years ago, and then apologized for it. And now someone starts a Twitter thread in a mass attack to find all your possible flaws as a human being. It's just sick.

> I feel very sad for him. He’s a tragic figure. He is one of the most brilliant people I’ve met, who I have always thought desperately craved friendship and camaraderie, and seems to have less and less of it all the time. This is all his doing; nobody does it to him. But it’s still very sad. As far as I can tell, he believes his entire life’s work is a failure.

This is also a very sad epilogue, and the FSF board is to blame for not being able to explain to RMS why reinstating him was an awful idea.

At the same time, it's also sad that the open latter calls out RMS for ableism, when it's obviously clear that he is in turn not able to understand the situation that has arisen around him and the problem that he constitutes for the FSF.

To be 100% clear I am not saying that this should excuse or justify rms's misogynism or his well-known (by now) views on sexuality. But all this contributes to my feeling of sadness and I am pretty sure I am not the only one that feels like that.

So I am torn. I agree that the FSF board has failed, and I wish RMS would resign from his other leadership positions (including from the GNU project, which has been so instrumental to my career), but this open letter leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

Hey Julien,
Congratulations on the launch. I quite like the simplicity which reminds me of Todoist. I've been using Todoist for the last 4 years and had improved my productivity a lot.

A static blog that takes no user input/data will still leak the pages on that blog you visit, and the times you visited them. Knowing that you went to a particular page on a particular blog is a lot more information than knowing if you went to a domain. If I know you read about Conan the Barbarian on three different blogs, I know to send you ads about Conan the Barbarian (as a trivial example.)
Warren Buffett has become very rich in part because he appreciates the value of goodwill to a business while others ignore it. Here's a summary of what he's written on the topic:

To a business, goodwill is an asset just as real as cash or vehicles. In fact it is often more valuable than fixed assets because it appreciates over time while the latter depreciates. Despite this, it doesn't appear on the traditional Profit and Loss statement so is overlooked by managers whose compensation is based on such an inadequate measure of profit.
This is likely ahistorical. VW was a bit later, but other market leaders Nissan and Renault released their platforms before the Tesla Model S came out.

Show HN: End-to-end encrypted notes app
One year ago I started to explore combining CRDTs with end-to-end encryption to allow people to collaborate on the same documents/data. Couple months back I got a first prototype working. Think of a simple Google Docs, but end-to-end encrypted and offline-first (iOS & Android for now).

Why CRDTs?
Every document is a CRDT data structure. This is very important for conflict resolution. With CRDTs this can happen on the client and everyone can resolve to exactly the same state of the document once all the updates are synchronised.

This basically allows to exchange the updates/data via end-to-end encryption. Initially I started out using the Matrix protocol, but in order to develop further synchronization optimization I started to directly use Matrix's Olm/MegOlm encryption library.

The app/client source is available here: https://github.com/SerenityNotes/serenity-notes-clients

This is a mythical view of cancel culture, and it's driven entirely by arseholes who have realised that people are now prepared to call them arseholes.

"I'm being cancelled" they yell, from the front page of a national newspaper.

It's telling that the small number of white people denied jobs because they behave like cunts get all the attention.

The very many people denied jobs because they're women or because they're black or because they're LGBT+ don't ever meet your threshold for attention, do they? Why is that?
You’re absolutely right but this statement is largely true of the west.

Meanwhile, cities in China have electrified their multi hundred thousand strong bus fleets and have built the infrastructure to cope.

Sadly we in the West have just lost that hunger for big projects.
Again, be specific with quotes. No such statement was made. What was said:

People with preconceived anti science attitudes [..] went looking for the correct answer to satisfy their religion not a commitment to truth

This says "people", not "all religions". Moreover it says "people with [attribute]", which is a properly defined subset. If you take this statement to mean "all religions", it is you who is conflating "anti-science attitudes" with "all religious people", not the GP.
VW is the EU market leader on BEVs. They also sell some PHEVs.
Anything more than unverifiable claims from 30 years ago? And even then, how is sleeping on a mattress oppressive? I also sleep on a mattress. I've also asked girls out when I was young, and been declined (once).

That is some twisted mythos regarding RMS. All his online, TV, and keynote appearances have proven him to be a misunderstood and harmless tech expert. What is your experience from speaking to him personally?
Why wouldn’t the future focus be on Raku at this point? Perl is (was?) a great language, but Raku offers so much more.

Of course Raku has the “expected” things from Perl like classes and all the fantastic regex and string manipulation features.

But Raku brings:

* Optional/gradual typing (and unlike Python, declared types are enforced)

* Pattern matching, where different function definitions can be defined for different input values, like Haskell

* Multiple dispatch, so different function bodies can be defined for different sets of argument types (like pattern matching, but based on types, like Julia)

* Lazily-generated sequences, like Haskell or Clojure

* Lisp-like AST macros

* A built-in syntax for defining grammars and generating parsers

Not to mention junctions, autothreading, hyperoperators (vector operators), asynchronous operations, parallelism, concurrency, and multi-core support. The list goes on and on...

It’s unfortunate that so many programmers I talk to aren’t even willing to consider looking at Raku, even though it has a lot to offer.

But I am confused by this “future” where Perl wants to continue on to v7, v8...
How does that follow?

The PAX organisers are "artificially" keeping down the price of tickets by controlling supply and fighting scalpers. If instead the auction allowed potential attendees to pay more for their tickets, then those tickets would end up going to attendees that pay far above the original price - as is already true for scalped tickets.

The percentage of tickets which are scalped is not a direct function of the demand on tickets.
What sort of data would you deem acceptable? I have driven latest Model 3 with their self-driving package enabled, I have driven the latest Mercedes S class with the latest and greatest from Deimler and same from Audi - all of these systems feel like absolute magic when they work, but when they don't it all falls apart really quickly.

Like, don't get me wrong. It's a great system. But it's just a very clever cruise control. It's nowhere near Level 5, not even Level 4 and I'd argue it's not even level 3 at the moment. And yet the OP says we'll see "massive self driving deployment by 2025-2028"??? Like...how? With what technology?
The way I read your argument is "science is not 100% correct, only 85% correct. That means they are 15% wrong. Since science is 15% wrong and those 15% wrong will have negative consequences, we should ignore science and do what we feel is the right".

I acknowledge that science doesn't have all the answers and probably never will. However, I believe it is better to take its results into account when making public policy instead of relying on gut feeling or ideology.

I certainly hope science is taken into account when deciding things like building regulations, fisheries quotas and food additive regulations.

Yes, it is. Everything about the USB 2.0 PHY is out of control for a 480 Mbps line rate. Things were tightened up in USB 3.0 just as they were in the move to USB 2.0, but not nearly enough to guarantee low BER in real world scenarios at advertised rates. USB is made to be cheap, not reliable.
I recommend going to https://raku.org/ and reading up on the language because Raku actually has features “modern languages” do not. E.G. the grammars.
My quip with value-metric based pricing has always been that by making your user pay for the useful thing, you disincentivize usage since it instantly means a higher cost for them.

At an early-stage b2b SaaS catering to a rather cautious clientele, I feel this could affect adoption/activation negatively. Conversely, pricing per-seat creates the "I have paid for this, I should adopt and evangelize this in my org. as deeply as possible".

Does anyone have experience with switching from seat-based to value-metric based pricing?
Waymo is doing actual for customer self driving right now.They need to scale it up a lot, but 5-10 years is a lot of time in AI research. Deep Learning did not exist 10 years ago.

Tesla is trying hard too, but it goes with a big dose of bullshiting from Musk. They are a lot more dependent on AI break troughs in DL due to their vision only philosophy.

OpenAI research around scaling laws in DL suggest that naive 1000 increase in training compute over CLIP should get us to state of the art vision in zero shot settings i.e. without task specific training data. But they probably can cover 1/3 of that with algorithms improvements. Beyond that machines should really be above human vision across the board besides adversarial settings.

Quote https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.00020 :

> While scaling has so far steadily improved performance and suggests a route for continued improvement, we estimate around a 1000x increase in compute is required for zero-shot CLIP to reach overall state-of-the-art performance.

There is also the question of robust car control, but there should be good progress on it too due to RL research.

LetsEncrypt doesn't owe anyone free certificates, either. The point is that AWS isn't an alternative unless you're spending money with AWS. Nobody is wondering whether you can get a certificate by paying someone.

I don't think it's about Elon, though in the very early days he certainly helped.

They're an upper middle class status symbol now. It's likely gonna take a solid decade of something being better for that to change. As long as the product is at least arguably competitive they'll be fine.
The shift was inevitable and always in progress with or without Tesla.

They have been selling and experimenting with electric cars for a very long time.

Nobody has 'copied' anything that Tesla has done, they've done it on their own terms and sales have been picking up especially in Europe for a long time.

Tesla added some enthusiasm and pop culture flavour to the moment, but they didn't change anything. At most, they accelerated the timeline by a few years.
It was absolutely not just the Minsky thing. The media, doing what the media does best, told an incomplete and misleading story that relied on public sources (including themselves). At best the media coverage made it obvious that RMS's continued involvement in the free software movement was harming it.

http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2019/10/15/fsf-rms.html is a post from a former FSF board member who had been working with RMS for years to try to get him to be less of an anti-asset to the movement, and finally resigned.

https://wingolog.org/archives/2019/10/08/thoughts-on-rms-and... was a post from a GNU maintainer about how several GNU maintainers objected to RMS's continued dictatorship over the GNU project.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25193674 says: "GNU is internally managed on a private mailing list. Guix and other GNU maintainers coming out against Stallman may have been surprising to those who aren't privy to that list, but for the rest of us, it has been a long time coming. For a long time, key GNU projects have either effectively quit GNU or, with great effort, wrested authority away from RMS because what goes on "behind the scenes" in GNU is not good. The only change is that now they are doing it in public.

As far back as 2003-04, the Free Software Foundation's non-management staff unionized to protect themselves from RMS. https://twitter.com/NovalisDMT/status/1172573166956437505 https://twitter.com/paulnivin/status/1374532930400227328 https://twitter.com/_msw_/status/1374542889531834371

Imagine how much stronger the free software movement would have been today if maintainers and advocates had been free of this distraction decades ago. What the FSF board is saying is that it's more important for the FSF to be a cult of personality for RMS than to actually advocate for free software.
> DNS cache poisoning, bit flips, and other such attacks. It does nothing for your site's confidentiality or availability, but it ensures the validity of the DNS records.

Sure, but at what cost? It's hilariously easy to misconfigure effictively removing the entire domain from anyone who decides to enfirce DNSSEC validation, and DNSSEC gives you no choice in who to trust (Verisign own .com I think, state governments tend to own a lot of the national TLDs etc.)

If your threat is a poisoned DNS cache then... don't use a DNS cache?

> Scummy DNS providers like commercial ISPs tend to hijack certain DNS queries for their own gain. With DNSSEC they cannot do so.

The problem here is that as an end user, I want to resolve gmail.com to the correct endpoint. If my upstream DNS cache is giving me the wrong results, DNSSEC doesn't help me - NXDOMAIN'ing a valid DNS request leaves me in the same position as without DNSSEC. I still can't get my email!

In the face of a malicious upstream handing out the wrong DNS records, a far more sensible solution is to bypass that upstream, optionally encryping the transport so that they can't fiddle with the results in-flight. This actually gets me what I need - the correct DNS record for my request.

> Furthermore, with the slow but soon irreversible switch over to DNS over HTTPS, with all the DNS centralisation it brings, knowing for sure that nobody tampered with DNS records is a necessity.

> Additionally, DNS records are also used in technologies like encrypted eSNI headers. If you are able to supply bad or old eSNI data to another site's cache, that might cause slowdowns or even breakages when eSNI or its successor eventually rolls out. Alternative PKI solutions also store TLS public keys in DNS records, so those are essential to get right as well.

If you care strongly about the integrity of your DNS records, there are better solutions. DNS-over-TLS/HTTPS should in theory let you trust only the owner of the authoritative DNS server, if you can make a direct connection to it to ask questions. DNSSEC forces me to trust a whole load of intermediaries forever. I'm not sure why the latter is better.

Maybe it's better to stop designing things for which the security rests on being able to fully trust DNS? Gmail (and everything else etc.) seems to work quite well right now without depending on DNS being 100% trustworthy, mostly because if I do somehow get an evil-controlled DNS record back, my browser's going to start sounding alarm bells when the TLS cert doesn't work.
It can be undermined by collusion, but not if a sufficiently large portion of the bidders is actually honest like, presumably, is the case here.

I'm not sure how a single bidder making multiple bids under different names would impact the math, but intuitively I'd say under the same assumption as above the system should hold: if I make N bets out of M with N << M, the effect should be small enough that the guarantees still (broadly) apply. I could be wrong here, feel free to correct me if you know better.

Hello Contributors,

*RMS* may not conform to your societal standards, but condemning the man (him, or Torvalds, who also comes under fire,) marrs your reputation, and not his.

> He has shown himself to be misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other serious accusations of impropriety.

I have met RMS in person, (had Chinese food with him, in fact,) and though he may ignore some social conventions, he is a person who has very valuable and unique opinions, and a force to be reckoned with. These accusations appear to be, while not baseless, motivated by an extremely twisted socio-political ideology.

*Shame on you for bringing cancel culture into the world of software.*
