That's not "in more immediate terms". It involves peering into the future and it implies the belief that we can perform a cost benefit analysis and therefore remove the moral and political elements from decision making.

When I say immediate, I'm talking about this:

> 2. We have a moral obligation to have conversations in public that involve the safety of injecting substances into people. Regardless of "cost benefit analysis," people simply have a right to be privy to these conversations. It's better for things to go worse and respect this right than for things to go better and not respect it.

I would rather have more people die in an open society than less people die in a closed one.
I'm trying to make sense of the 'memory qubits' e.g. 'spatial modes' in the paper. Do you know if they are they a sort of...quantum flip flop?

Is this also a hypothetical structure, or have they been built and shown to be able to reliably store and retrieve quantum state in such spatial modes? 430 million is a much, much larger number than their headline 13436 qubits...

One solution could be to very prominently highlight auto-filled fields especially if the standard auto-fill attributes are missing. That might at least help some users avoid submitting info they didn't intend to.

A lot of offers I've seen like this (e.g. Wendy's free Frosty keychain fob) require buying something else with the free item, just to make this vaguely cost effective.

Exactly. The fact that reported positive results always seem to be at the limits of detectability, whatever the equipment used, is a huge red flag that the results are probably artifacts.
But those ephemeral session keys can not be determined from observing the handshake because the handshake uses asymmetric cryptographic algorithms which may use exactly the same mathematics as RSA.
Gitlab has been trying to be a PaaS for years, but seems to subscribe to the “add more shiny features” school of product design rather than addressing the fundamental workflow of Heroku or Cloud Foundry.

They are also being incredibly trite when they say “Do not use Heroku”, which is not at all the point of that Twitter thread, it’s a cheap way to push your own product.

The point Adam was making (which I don’t entirely agree with) was that we (the broader industry building PaaS features on Kubernetes - eg. Knative, others) are all chasing a design target from 2012 that he thinks is a dead end, and we should be trying new things.

I think the issue is less about the failure of Heroku as a design target than a failure to commodify the infrastructure it takes to get to Heroku-like ease of use. In other words, people like Heroku (or Cloud Foundry) but large market segments don’t want to pay for it. So we need to bring the price down by commodifying the tech.

Long run it would be nice to simplify broader classes of apps than “12 factor apps” (and indeed, I’ve seen “3 or 4 factor apps” run on these platforms), but for anyone that have seen the enormous productivity gains of those platforms, especially in a large company, it seems we still have a lot of low hanging fruit we can address.
Interesting list. This author's incredulous introduction is most unwelcome. If you want to make a list go for it friend but this is someone else's list. If you want a perfectly ordered prestige fest there's AFI, IMDB and many other places you can find that.

Personally, I'd have no problem watching Barry Lindon over Clockwork any day of the week. And of course there's no Ozu on there. The two had a long standing beef. Kurosawa was proud as f**. Even if "Floating Weeds" is a work of pure melodramatic genius in which every shot is perfect, it's not making a list by Kurosawa.

It comes from a reasonable place: It shouldn't be generalised. You may have issues with specific things that were said (or how they were said), but that isn't clear from your response. Perhaps you could add that, so the author can learn.

Unless I am mistaken you should be able to disable the apps which is effectively equivalent to removing them. They can't be removed because they are on the read-only system image but they should be treated the same was as if they weren't there if they are disabled.

I agree that it would be nice if these weren't preinstalled at all but I don't find disabling to be that bad. Better than iOS for sure where the best you can do with most pre-installed apps is stuff them in a folder.

Yes, this idea is nothing new. It's called sports. But at the end, when you keep losing at the game, you can still grab a knife and kill the f*ckers and just take away the trophy. Or just feel better.

Every problem can be modeled as an instance of a class of problems. This can be useful, but it does also detract from this specific instance of a totalitarian ideological attack on a specific community.

In game theory the 'punish those that do not actively join in punishing outsiders' is a requirement for group stability, and it has been a staple tactic in every totalitarian regime.

would be interesting to hear what you would consider the right direction? Is it via a better threat model (a technical solution) or changing the routine/behavior e.g. reducing from screen time, etc?

how I "solved" it is perhaps not compatible with the mainstream today. especially with people younger than me who have never experienced live before the mobile phone or Internet. E.g. I quit social media altogether and simply not carry a phone when I go out and on the technical front everything is minimalist set-up (which is only useful for a die-hard SW engineer with enough passion to justify all the yak-shaving)

I've experienced depersonalization because of meditation, and I didn't even know that: (1) what depersonalization was and (2) that it could be cultivated by meditation.

I immediately stopped meditating all together and slowly got my sense of self back. Since then I only briefly meditate when I feel I can use the benefits of it (e.g. enhanced emotional perception or more focus etc.).
The most likely explanation (not saying I'm right) most likely as far as I can see is aliens, by a mile. Have you seen what these objects do? How they move. Verified by multiple sources and electronic equipment. Ima stick my neck out and say "wow that looks like aliens!" becuase it does and I don't really care if I turn out to be wrong. Something real, amazing, and not understood is going on. I simply don't understand why everyone hasn't got their jaw on the floor.
I found the article confusing. It was difficult to understand what they're actually doing (I'm still unclear on that, actually).
Technology Trends 2021: Assistive Technology
Elon has stated that Starship will likely be cheaper per-launch than Falcon 9 despite having more than 5x the payload capacity: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1258580078218412033 (Guessing this is primarily due to reusability of the second stage, which Falcon 9 lacks.) So even if everything else fails to pan out Starship could still end up being extremely profitable just by dominating the existing launch market.

That said, I agree that some of Elon's longer-term goals in space are somewhat more questionable from an economic perspective. Safety is still a big question mark when it comes to tourism and intercontinental transport, and a lot of the other proposed uses (such as Elon's goal of settling Mars) have questionable economic value. Will be interesting to see if any new markets get created by Starhip's record low launch costs.

There are so many natural weird optical phenomena in the atmosphere - rainbows, light pillars, mirages, sundogs, that can create strange sightings.

What makes me think they're not aliens, is that there are so many different types of sightings - cigars, disks, shining light patterns - how many different types of alien craft are there?

A few years ago they wouldn’t let me board a flight from SFO to Australia because my visa said I was born in 1921 when my passport didn’t agree. After a good bit of hassle we just had me go and apply for (and pay for) another visa on the electronic application site and this time I noticed that it’s exactly what happened: 1Password (IIRC) used my Visa expiration year for my visa birthday.

I’m lucky that my status meant it was an automatic approval for the second visa!

It’s not you dying that’s the problem with your statement so much as the other people you’re going to kill because of your choice not to get vaccinated.

Good idea to call out some of the more unique books.
I'm still surprised that Reddit avoided a major scandal over the Ghislaine Maxwell situation. It's clear that they have serious ethical/integrity issues yet have avoided the kind of criticism that FB and Twitter get, despite arguably wielding more power. I wonder if this is partly because a lot of the community call themselves "redditors" and therefore interpret criticism of the platform as a criticism of the community. No one would call themselves a twitterer or a facebooker
Is there a source for this? My Google-fu isn't turning up anything.
Very easy to write this if you’ve already made it. Plenty of people haven’t, however. And while Facebook might not be the nicest place doing the best stuff for the world, we should not be disparaging developers for trying to better their situation unless you’re gonna go ahead and disparage every developer who ever worked at Facebook too.

Yeah, seems they are trying to deflect their posts like this with a " This blog post is Unfiltered" notice that apparently frees them from anything mentioned as the blog is "intended for user-generated content submitted by the GitLab team.

AZ has genuinely fucked up a couple times. They accidentally gave some trial participants half the intended dose

That was an Oxford fuck up, as were most of the other early clinical trial ones as far as we know. As others have explained, this is not a normal small organization plus Big Pharma arrangement, and after the EU went crazy I'll bet AZ is now regretting ever getting involved.

AZ's catastrophic fuck up from that testing mistake which should have burned a lot of their credibility was to use that data which in the long term didn't pan out to make a blended claim of higher efficacy than they could at that time legitimately support.

Note, for instance, that Google ran an experiment where Chrome connecting to Google hosts used both conventional elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman over Curve25519 and post-quantum "New Hope" RLWE. A hash of the results of the two key agreements was used for ChaCha20 encryption of the keystream. A store-and-decrypt attack in this case should be required to break both conventional Curve25519 and experimental New Hope.

Note that the best known quantum attacks on ChaCha20 cut the key size in half, so 256-bit ChaCha20 should still be fine, as long as your key agreement protocol is quantum-resistant.

I see a Mabuse movie on position three, and for the purposes of fun and entertainment, I would like to recommend to watch "Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse" instead.

I did not say anything about blaming/punishment of people who want to improve their life by moving to another country. Where that notion even comes from, please? Of course it is fine, I only ask about mitigating the consequences.

I so wish I could improve matters by choosing in elections...except parties/candidates I vote for regularly end up outside of government, if not completely outside of the parliament. How then can we attract competent people when we always end up with incompetent/corrupt politicans? Everyone who makes the effort in this environment, ends up burned out.

First of all, China shut down all travel - both domestic and international - from Hubei province. For people outside of Hubei province, the government made international travel more difficult.

Second of all, what country has ever prevented its own citizens from leaving the country because of an outbreak? The Hubei lockdown was already the most dramatic response by a government in modern history to an outbreak. A province with 60 million people was put strict lockdown. Almost nobody was let out of the province, and people were told to stay in their homes.

People should be free to make choices regarding their own body but the notion of "nature" as an anthromorphic problem solver and superiority of genes is pretty out of sync with our reality. There are many augmentations we use to help survive and vaccines are no different. Glasses for instance are not "natural" but I don't see many people arguing that we should only let those with 20/20 vision survive. Going down that route leads to a lot of toxic notions. Writing this during the 15 minutes cool down after getting the first vaccine shot. So I know where I stand.
Maybe it didn’t make it to production? The affected users might have been in the canary population?
I think the title is a bit confusing. "We are building a better Heroku" implies some sort of announcement that Gitlab is adding a new service to their offerings, and that's what I expected when I clicked. This is more like a tutorial for how to make a deploy pipeline using Gitlab.
I kind of quit the article about twenty lines because what on earth does 'trans-identified male' mean?
> but I'm only talking about language complexity, in the strict syntactic, linguistic sense.

Then again, on the strict syntactic sense, Rust is even less complex than C, because of the “most vexing parse” issue. If you wanted a rigorous analysis of the syntactic complexity, you could attempt to measure how difficult it is to write a lexer and a parser for every popular languages, and see how Rust performs. But given that the language grammar has been designed with parsing complexity in mind and have benefited from the hindsight of others before it, you'd be terribly disappointed.

From this discussion, and many of your previous interventions on this forum, it's pretty clear, even though the reason isn't, that you have developed a resentment towards Rust and you can't help bashing it.

Rust isn't a silver bullet, it has a fairly tough learning curve and as it tries to push the frontier of system programming language forward, it will take a few decisions that will ultimately be regarded as dead ends, and I have no doubt that future languages will avoids these pitfalls and provide improvement over the state of the art.

In the meantime, spreading your hate with unsubstantiated judgements like “Rust is one of the 5 most complex programming language ever” or “Rust harm code reviews” isn't really constructive for anyone.

Zig is a cool motorbike, Rust is a SUV. Arguing that your bike can indeed be safer than a SUV because you have more visibility and agility to avoid the danger is beyond childish.

Super easy cross compilation and incredible development velocity on small-medium projects are super cool features of Zig, and Rust can't beat that. No need to downplay the importance of Rust for the software industry (and as a friendly reminder, Rust is making its way to the Linux kernel, with the approval of Linus because unlike C++ or Ada isn't too complex to his taste ;).
Format=flowed: the little standard that couldn't quite make it
> Are we ready for that kind of upheaval?

Quite sure cryptographers are ahead of the curve, they are a conservative bunch. There's multiple finalists in the NIST post-quantum comp with different quantum-hard mathematical properties. An over-abundance of lattice cryptography being standardised could possibly be a problem in the long term though.

Asymmetric public key crypto and signatures being broken is the only real threat, there's no theoretical issues with symmetric crypto, hashing or MAC's.

A quantum break already has a multi-billion dollar bounty on it in the form of cryptocurrency wallets which would be hard to fight against in the form of wages or violent coercion. This is probably the best evidence on Earth that no one actually has this capability.
Quote describing the new force:

“There could be a new quantum force that makes the B mesons break up into muons at the wrong rate. It’s sticking them together and stopping them decaying into muons at the rate we’d expect,” Allanach said. “This force could help explain the peculiar pattern of different matter particles’ masses.”
Perfect-forward-secrecy relies on that you didn’t break the underlying cryptography primitives, which is not true with QC.
