> Don’t people sometimes reflect upon themselves, “are we the baddies”? Don’t people see a value in having a moral ground?

That's not the point. The point of this cancellation is the exercise of power; it makes those who are perpetrating this action feel powerful, and closes the loop of a feedback cycle of justification.

Intentions and facts do not matter, because ultimately in this new era there is no path to redemption, no mechanism by which an apology can be accepted. The point is not consistency or actually building a safer or better world - if it were, RMS would rightly be considered a saintly figure for his contributions to the world. The creation and popularization of Free Software is a higher moral act than anything any social-justice keyboard warrior will ever accomplish, no matter how many luminaries they take down.

No, the point is to exercise power, to show any straight white (or white-presenting) male that they are vulnerable, and to ensure that more and more of us hide our heads lest we be the tall blade of grass that gets the scythe. This is, of course, our new privilege.

>Focus more on building out capabilities for the rest of the industries that don't need bleeding edge node development

i think that would be a huge strategic error. Most of those "the rest of the industries" are in turn going to get access to and reap the benefits of the bleeding edge as soon as they can, so building out non-bleeding edge specifically for them is a losing game.

The announcement itself seems to be a kitchen sink. They are going to do everything in a new and cool way! Kind of obvious that Pat can't break the death grip of the manufacturing people - after all it is that vertical integration that has brought all those record revenues in the recent years. Of course it has also caused Intel to fall that far behind.
Customers regularly ask us whether we support TLS 1.0 and 1.1 for this very reason. We do, and support policies to raise the min version, but that’s not the default.

Smart TVs and many streaming boxes often ship with vendored libcurl/OpenSSL/other libraries that are already years old when the device itself is new. It is frustrating and insecure, but cutting these users out isn’t a clear solution either.
Personally, I avoid recursive resolvers altogether. Much faster. I can gather the DNS data I need for the zone files myself. Not reliant on Google, NextDNS or the next third party DNS provider.
H-index should go away, it cannot be fixed. Traditionally, academics have been encouraged to publish in prestigious venues. Metrics like H-index do not take this into account.
You could argue that without a free, simple platform and its audience, such websites wouldn't exist in such large numbers. Not everyone has the patience to run a website.

Oh, speedrunning, as in video games.

Meh. That's completely unobjectionable to me -- fact is that a lot of trans people used video games to escape from society's bullshit when they were younger, which is why we're overrepresented in video game communities. To the extent that a cis woman has trouble being inspired by a trans woman speedrunner, she should probably work on her own internalized transphobia.

Thankfully, this view is vanishing among younger people: they generally take it for granted that the category of womanhood includes cis and trans women.
Oh I bet Jeff could sell a tweet from Elon, it just won't got for as much.
I recently tried to get an old version of Debian up to speed, to bring some old and unique hardware back to life. The lack of support for TLS 1.3 made it impossible to download much of anything. It was basically impossible to update or upgrade. Most of the web (and HTTPS APIs) was inaccessible via curl. I imagine similar issues plague retrocomputing with other OSes.

Are there any resources for retrocomputing in the TLS 1.2+ era? Maybe something like an HTTPS downgrade proxy that requires manual installation of a new cert and is targeted at retro OS isolation?

> It seems that nearly every "public good" in the Ethereum ecosystem got gobbled up by VCs and pivoted to for-profit endeavors

And this is because.... we don't have good public goods funding and so once the teams' capital needs get higher they have no choice but to pivot to VC/for-profit. I've talked to many of these teams personally, they are not greedy, but it's just unrealistic to expect people to turn away an opportunity for 100x more money. Turn away 2-5x, sure, but not 100x.

And this lack of public goods funding is exactly what I'm saying the ecosystem needs to focus on solving.
I’m a long time paid user of Medium, but ever since they went on a censorship spree during COVID, wiping out amateur analyses and discussions, I have a bad taste in my mouth about supporting them. They have shown that they will abuse their platform position to enact their own censorship, leading to dominant manufactured narratives. If they’re going to behave just like every other existing news or social media channel, I’m not sure why I need Medium. More recently I’ve seen Medium begin their own online “magazines” which carry the same biases, except it seems more officially blessed.

Here’s the WSJ son controlling the virus narrative, specially about Medium:

It's so much worse on the professional side of things. The number of glamorous security jobs is extremely tiny compared to all of the "SOC2 Compliance" checklist jobs out there. They've created the same kind of status economy that plagues academia to the point where you're on the "publish or die"/"be somebody on twitter or die" treadmill.

As a result, I've seen so much recycled research trying to be passed around as new work by people trying to make a name for themselves it's unbearable.

This especially happens in the crypto space, where you can take any basic concept like "Basic XSS Vulnerabilities", but applied to popular crypto exchanges and conferences will book your talk.

The number of people out there doing genuine cool shit (the kinda stuff you see in PoC||GTFO) are few and far between these days.
I do understand why they do it, and numpy can play a bit fast and loose which can be confusing, but I miss reading elegent vector-by-default R code.

The Julia approach also has some drawbacks, I was writing some code the other day and forgot to broadcast exp() across a matrix. exp(A) and exp.(A) gives very different results but it's not immediately obvious looking at code, especially when the code is a mixture of broadcasted and native matrix function calls which dots peppered all over the place.

Intel has the need for leading edge logic processes and the money to try it. No other US company does. Micron is focused on memory and will not go into logic processes.

There are a few contract fabs in the US but none of them are anywhere near the volume Intel will have to offer as 14nm lines become available for other customers.

Anyway, I don't understand your proposal. Intel is doing what it can. Other US semiconductor companies are doing what they can. Unless you want the government to pressure Intel to sell some of their 14nm fabs to companies who have an interest in contract manufacturing I suspect this is just the way things will go.
> say if N DNA pairs can be theoretically shown to only encode a pattern of "blah" complexity (time/space) regardless of future protein interactions

I don't think it's going to end up this simple. You're going to end up in the Godelian trap with this one. Consider how simple a Turing machine is, or a tiny cellular atomaton, and yet there's no limit to the complexity that they can produce chaotically from any established starting position.

The fundamental laws are going to come from simulating what the DNA does in practice, like running code in an emulator. It needs to be 'decompiled' and 'decompressed', in a sense; our current approach is like trying to understand why a REST endpoint gives a certain response by staring at gates within the processor. It might be doable but it's not going to be the most fruitful approach.

Same with compiled applications. Windows is the clear laggard here but still

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthn/prot...

.Net says to use the OS schannel protocols. Even the latest Windows doesnt do TLS 1.3 yet.

MSSQL has no support for it either.

Even on the end user side. One i like to point out is disable TLS 1.0 and try and launch discord. Their update cdn only supports TLS 1.0. So the application doesnt function unless the OS client also will use TLS 1.0

I opened a ticket with them about it and was marked solved and responded with.

The way I understand it, Plan9 provides the basics, so you can delegate to external nodes over 9P. But it doesn't provide an orchestration solution, so the answer would be "HA Plan 9 deployment" is not a thing - you'd need an extra layer.

Cancellation is just the new hammer, to everyone, everything looks like a nail. People are just going through the motions, like when a new JavaScript trend comes along.

One person’s treasure is another person’s blog-spam. Substack will fall victim to this too regardless of how writers are paid. Eventually LCD blog-spammers will want a piece of the pie and will “scramble”, as they say in blog-speak, popular posts/information to generate a post of their own. This will devalue anything published solely on Substack and create a similar Medium/Google search effect when a user is seeking info. At some point the game isn’t about generating an image that you pay writers but proving your platform can support ANY writer.

I can try... In short, this is about how a C compiler is supposed to deduce the type of the ternary operation. So, if x is a constant expression, the compiler figures that the second operand must be NULL (because it is allowed to perform the multiplication, by 0l), whose type then is whatever the third operand says (a pointer to int). The comparison succeeds. Otherwise the compiler does not perform the multiplication, takes the type of the second operand at its “face value”, i.e. as a pointer to void, and converts the type of the third operand to it - which, of course, makes the comparison false in this case.
I am not sure they should. It is something people want to know about. It is their duty to report about important to know events in the real world, and the fact that there exist scumbags that are willing to murder random people is definitely an important fact that we all need to be aware of.
My bet is the latter. GME exposed how undercapitalized they were given their customers’ leverage and existing investors probably aren’t interested in/can’t agree on terms for injecting more cash themselves.

Probably, you wouldn’t intentionally IPO immediately after a PR disaster unless you had too.

I really really hope the SEC makes them disclose all the gory details of their “payment for order flow” stuff. I mean, basically, smart people who write about it (Levine, patio11), say it’s harmless/helpful. But I don’t think it sits right with anyone. Certainly not with me .
That’s exactly what it should be. After author there should be multiple lines for individuals/groups that reproduced that research. Prizes should be divvied amongst original researchers and the first N groups to reproduce it.

Also, I’d love to see the Masters degree become focused on reproducing others work for two years. You do original research in a PhD only.

Thanks, by the way. You are a pretty great discussion partner. Frank open and honest. I appreciate that.
I applaud the effort of hoping for self-reflection. This will likely gain very little traction here. Those engaging in cancelling don't see themselves as the "baddies." They view themselves as above reproach.

Reading between the lines, Medium tried a model where they hired authors, paid them to create content, and sold subscriptions to this content, and it was very unprofitable. Worse, it was unprofitable in a difficult to fix way, because it's unclear which authors you can let go with a minimal impact on subscriptions. (And firing people from a paid team of writers is always going to have significant costs in terms of moral, productivity, etc.)

Substack seems to be trying a model where they will, in some cases, guarantee an author will receive a minimum amount of subscriptions for the first year, in exchange for a hefty cut of subscription revenue. I don't think we have information on how the program is doing on net, but in at least some high profile cases they've turned a profit on it. Also, even if the program is significantly loss making, it should be easy enough to shift to profitability; just scale down offering new contracts to people without large existing readerships.

The model is not enormously different at the twenty thousand feet level, but I think it has the potential to play out quite differently in practice nonetheless.

People have to fight for survival. University administrators who have not done any serious research in their lives impose unrealistic goals on academics, without realizing that academics is also a game of influence and networking.

(I'm not Chinese, this is a global phenomenon and all academics are subjected to this nonsense.)
