> 1) How is something that kills you slowly more toxic than something that kills you quickly?

Pure CO2 will knock you out in 4-6 breaths, and cause your expiration in 10-20 minutes. Laboratory animals are routinely euthanized with co2 [0]. Pure O2 will cause your expiration in 4-6 days through the accumulated damage of reactive oxygen species.

[0] "Expose the animals to CO₂ until complete cessation of breathing is observed for a minimum of 2 minutes (a total of approximately 5 to 10 minutes is usually required)" - https://www.bu.edu/researchsupport/compliance/animal-care/wo...

> 2) Don’t doctors provide severe COVID patients with pure oxygen? If it’s toxic, why would they do that?

This is bad medicine. Early 20th century medical investigators figured out best practices for oxygen support, but the insights got forgotten, now they're just in the old papers in the libraries.

tl/dr: Hyperventilation.
I wonder what is the general feeling towards startups that take a different approach such https://comma.ai/ and https://wayve.ai/?. These startups take the approach of building "Android version" of self-driving cars, a technology that can be used as add-on in the existing cars.

Around 2004 I visited the chipmaking industry in Dresden on a university field trip. We went to AMD and to AMTC (Advanced Mask Technology Center). It looked like they were doing pretty well, they were increasing production capacity and also doing research, and AMD and others were investing a lot of money. I think now the whole campus belongs to Globalfoundaries.

It is really sad how the domestic/western production became irrelevant. We lost it just like we lost our lead in solar energy (which was also based in the Dresden area by the way). And (at least solar) in my opinion for completely stupid reasons. The supposedly business-friendly German government went yolo, free trade and slashed the subsidies. And now they are turning around and trying to create industries from nothing? For solar, the ship has sailed, and for chips I think it is also way too late. Why didn't we support the industry we had?

China is steamrolling us, because 1) they think and act strategic, 2) size-wise, they are not one country but many countries and city-states working as one and 3) they are beating us at our own game because we have a slavish devotion to WTO principles while they will use protectionism if it benefits them. The thing is: Europe could have done most of this, too.
No, I think Bill Gates does stuff. As Microsoft CEO he was ruthless, clearsighted and goal-oriented. He is that now too, IMO, what's changed is that his goals are now things like eradicating malaria instead of eradicating Borland.

I had in mind whoever wrote that article. Because really, what difference would releasing those patents make. The patents quite plainly aren't the bottleneck. Bill Gates is right, and whoever wrote that article is fighting for effectively nothing.

You can solve a problem. Or learn to live with it. Or find way to diminish that which makes the problem a problem.

The people who are fighting those patents are IMO doing none of that. They're fighting to transform a problem into another problem, and the new problem is as bad as the existing one. Such a pity to see.
> As a PADI Open Water Diver, you'll be trained to a maximum depth of 18 metres/60 feet, and are qualified to dive in conditions as good as, or better than, those in which you trained

ref: https://www.padi.com/courses/open-water-diver

PADI does emphasize that with an open water cert you must absolutely always remain above 60ft.

That’s what’s shocking to me the most about the article and some of the conversation here—many folks are talking about diving to crazy depths as if that’s normal.

I don’t know why that is, but I will agree with your general point as a result. Folks need to understand this is a dangerous sport and one that can easily kill you (though not by barracuda).
this is such a classic HN argument, it's almost comical. pedants from every part of the world going at it and even including google search results, picking apart each word that the original author meant to prove their point. this is the kind of conversation that would make me want to rip my head off in an office environment.

but from my POV i would also say that 95% of the time i've ever bumped into the term, it was always used in a cyber attack context. the other 5% was from corporate overlords wanting to spy on your actions.
I installed it immediately. However I've never got a notice, but I've also never tested positive so it's hard to say how well it worked, or know how many around me had it too.

It did give me a little peace of mind when I went grocery shopping however.
I would do a few things:

- Ensure it is read only (hopefully).

- I would build my own interface to see the transactions. I absolutely hate most banks's default interface to show transactions. I would group them, categorize them etc (yea I know mint exists but we are talking direct APIs)

- I would setup auto notification on certain types of transactions or amount size of transaction. Some banks have alerts but very limited and mostly on amounts. Not on types.

- I would create budgeting notifications based on transactions. E.g. You just spent $500 on Dunkin Donuts this month already. Stop being crazy.
They have a subscription model and ads which are not allowed on FDroid. FDroid also requires the software to be opensource.
They gave an irb waiver they should not have. The research was clearly unethical and they , the irb, gave it a rubber stamp. It’s likely there is a systemic problem and that this was not an isolated failure.

While the lockdowns surely helped, you can't discount the advantage of being a non-densely populated island. Iceland and Japan, for example, also have very low death counts compared to mainland Europe or America.

> the only actual performance most consumers are likely to notice

Remember when Apple made the Power Mac QUAD, to indicate that the system had FOUR processors, because "men should not live of single thread performance alone"?

> "With quad-core processing, a new PCI Express architecture and the fastest workstation card from Nvidia, the new Power Mac G5 Quad is the most powerful system we've ever made," Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, said in a statement.

Of course they can't advertise the multi core performances, because they are lower compared to similar systems, just like with the Power Mac they could not advertise that the system was greener, because it wasn't.

> "Often I see developers that seem to care more about writing clean and beautiful code just for the sake of it, completely forgetting the bigger picture, why they are doing it."

Here's what I've learned over the past 35 years developing software: I typically don't care much about implementation. There are many ways to skin a cat and it's not very productive to argue amongst them. Whatever. What is important however are interfaces. Function interfaces, class interfaces, subsystem interfaces (mediator design pattern). Factory methods are also extremely important: how do I get an instance of the thing I need? These are the things that are important. How a piece of functionality is actually implemented is far down on the list of things to care about.
A manufacturing network that is closing down. Export market shares in the world keep falling. The best Europe can do is to protect whatever they can keep of the past glories. That should be good enough!
The standardization work for modules is done. Now all build tools and code bases need to start supporting it in a good way.
The print statement is persisted in your code so you can easily see where you've been with `hg/git diff`.

Using a debugger I find myself repeating the same steps over and over again that I would have done/written once via print debugging.

That and once my system is deployed and I need to debug issues in production I'm relying on logs which are effectively print statements. So why would I want my dev debug and production debug flows to diverge? Doing print debugging gives me experience in what sort of information is useful to log as well as what is loggable.
This was already a known risk. The gains from quantifying how bad the risk are is far outweighed by the fact that they introduced a new risk.
I've dived the Blue Hole, recreational depths.
I felt an evil presence there and had nightmares about the Hole 2 nights after, with some kind of blue energy trying to consume me.

I am not a superstitious person, and have dived multiple deep technical dives with bad visibility, below 0 Celsius sea water (poor dive computer) on sites with munitions, chemical contamination and war graves with body remains. This is the only time I felt that there was a large predatory presence watching me and all around me. Was offered to do the Arch, have the needed experience and clearances. Did not do, will not do ever.

The memorials and history of the place did not affect me in any way, I've worked rescue, dealt with dead bodies and attended many a funeral. I've participated in autopsies as part of my training. The blue hole was a strange enough experience that it stands out of all of my many dives.
My understanding is that it is not atypical for SARS though? I thought that was the main reason Asia was big on masks, which should have suggested that we ought to at least consider masks.

My guess is it was some combination of uncertainty about effectiveness in the general public and wanting masks to be available for healthcare workers, so they ran with the messaging they did. IMO if they didn't want to make a statement that could lead to hoarding in the early days they should have just said nothing about masks until production was ramped up. Masks are such a minimally invasive preventative measure that given uncertainty about their effectiveness you would normally err on the side of encouraging.
Is it your belief that maintainers should be viewed as automatons, impervious to mistakes, like how many view the service industry?

Maintainers are humans, flawed just like us all, good maintainers choose to accept and learn from their gaffes.

>"The fact of the matter is that retail goods and services cost the same whether I pay cash or use a credit card. So might as well take the benefits the card offers"

The merchant costs for processing the purchase of those products is baked into price though. The net effect is that the fees the merchant pays push your retail price up. You're not really getting a benefit if you get 2% back and the retail price is 2% higher to account for the merchants processing fees.
The current RAM restrictions in the M1 are dumb restrictions resulting from the fact that you can't get LPDDR4X chips larger than 8GB in size (the M1 has two on SoC LPDDR4X chips).

This year we should see a lot of CPU manufacturers change to (LP)DDR5 for memory - high end Samsung and Qualcomm SoCs are already using LPDDR5. It's a safe bet Apple is also switching to LPDDR5 which would put the upper limit on 64GB for the M2. This is notably still lower than the 128GB you can put in the current 27" iMac (for an eye watering $2600 extra), but is an amount far more pro users can live with.

Wow, I didn't know that VS Code supports rr as well. I will have to try that, thank you.

I think you misunderstood my point, there are plenty of good GUI debuggers out there. But they don't support all environments. Some IDEs only support C/C++ or Java or something else. The point is that their support is nowhere near as good as print debugging. From webdev to kernel development the API is nearly the same. Even in VS Code sometimes you have to fall back to the terminal to deal with weird environments. It is never really as "seamless" as print debugging.
Yes, and it's pretty clear that computing as a whole comes with a huge amount of downsides (hacking, revenge porn, video game addiction, etc). It's also pretty clear that the overall benefits outweigh the downsides.

I'm personally not convinced that the upsides of cryptocurrencies outweigh the downsides.
More up to date kernel (and associated bits) means usually the best support for hardware (e.g. Fedora is usually faultless on Lenovo laptops, unless you have GPU problems).

More up to date and more vanilla Gnome means that you've got the best state of Wayland implementation, and therefore the best version of multi-monitor, HighDPi etc. (I don't know what Ubuntu is like here though at the moment).

Also, if something like 401K (with matching, hehe) is really implemented one day in Germany, it will be a big step ahead. Right now people are constantly robbed with various corporate pension plans that just pour money into Allianz and other insurance companies for "only" 2% TER.
This seems like saying they shouldn't have guaranteed privacy because someone could be looking over your shoulder while you type your password. Maybe that's true, but it also seems like a uselessly impractical way to interpret things.
This is my dream. Embed all my templates, configuration files and everything into a single static Go binary. Deploy it onto a unikernel that has basically zero attack surface because it just runs this one binary and nothing else. Connect it to a database service (via a config setting with the connection string embedded in the binary).

I can almost do this on AWS at the moment, I think, though I haven't tried yet and it looks like a big learning cliff from here. Something to make this easier would be a huge win.
I think we might be using different definitions of "burn." I mean burnt by radiation so it no longer photosynthesizes -- in some plants this can happen simply from overexposure to sunlight. It's not necessary to turn it to ash.

A machine continually damaging cotyledons in emerging seedlings would go a long way. That's part of the advantage of a continually running weed killer.
Good to know, we use GitLab and occasionally would use that. I tried it a couple of years ago on GitHub, and it seemed to break the UI. I read it got a bit better now.
Would be interested to see threat models alongside these analyses.

This is the key question. Nowhere is this more clear than in the final remark:

Firefox also uses RLBox but this is only used to sandbox two libraries (Graphite and Ogg) which again, is not anything substantial.

https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2011-0480/
https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2011-3895/

So, all the security features that he considers large holes haven't been used to mount successful attacks, but the ones he considers "not substantial" are the ones that have been used for the real 0-days.

It seems the "threat model" was "if Chrome has it, it must be important" and "if Chrome doesn't have it, it must be useless". You cannot do a serious security analysis this way, it's like looking at a list of feature checkboxes to choose a product. But in this case it's even worse because we only look at the checkboxes vendor G has ticked.

Again, checking reality, which "sandbox hole" was used in the last successful Firefox exploit in pwn2own?

> about how masks on laymen have no effect because we can't wear them right/will touch our face too much to adjust them. Whether they believed that at the time is unclear to me, but that was the theory being pushed by a bunch of experts to explain the CDC guidance.

This is even more hilariously stupid than it sounds, as the same studies showed that only 10% higher a proportion of medical personnel than the general public can properly fit their masks. And yet it would be insane to claim that it's useless for medical personnel to wear PPE.
Ah, ok, I understand. Thanks for clarifying!

Highend chip fab got to be big security / geo politics due to the US-China tech war.

TSMC is under a perceived threat from China, and the US has prohibted the Chinese from using TSMC.

This leaves a lot of business open to take. The US wants it back on their soil with the TSMC plant in Arizona.

The Europeans want something similar.

After all we have ASML here in the middle of western europe and god knows how many mid-sized factories. Surely this is not a stupid idea. Perhaps we can make the chips for Huawei here in Germany so everyone knows the phones and routers are safe and secure to use.

Don't be confused, yes QE is virtual is money printing, yes it will cause either:

* Inflation.

* Re-evaluation of the exchange rates

* Supply issues if the above two do not happen

Time will tell :-) But the main reason it hasn't happened yet is because the money that has been printed (or whatever) has not made its way to the real economy yet, it has mostly gone to the financial markets. When people will try to use that money for real, that's when sh* will hit the fan
Of all the operating systems, I'm finding macOS to be less annoying than the rest. So far Apple did not make a single computer suitable for me, but if they would release something like Mac Pro Cheap Edition (or whatever, I just want workstation-level specs for $2k), I'll switch to it. I don't really care about M1 or Intel, I think that any modern CPUs are fast enough for any tasks.

Without knowing what the purpose of the VPN is, it is hard to know what to recommend.

Most people shouldn't be using a commercial VPN at all given the security and privacy problems inherent with doing so. The only popular reasons are to bypass geo-locking for services, full piracy, or because you're in an authoritarian country, and then you may want to ask in more niche communities for those things (since those are externalities beyond the scope of the VPN itself).
The saddest command I've ever typed was 'gdb gdb qtcreator', where inside qtcreator I was trying to debug using gdb. qtcreator was crashing when I tried to do that, and gdb was crashing when I tried to debug qtcreator crashing, and eventually I located a bug in gdb (which it turned out had been patched in a later version). It was a massive waste of my time and way off into yak shaving territory that I should have abandoned long before.

Embedded debugging is a pile of woe as well, in my experience. On the current system I'm working on, with 4 different chips using 2 different architectures, 3-4 different JTAG adaptors and different vendors gdb integrations, none of the debugging interfaces work reliably. If you can get the software to start running under the debugger, usually the first breakpoint will get hit correctly. If you're lucky it'll even continue running after you restart it from that breakpoint. The next breakpoint is even less likely to work, let along actually being able to trace out the path of some code. In theory on one of the architectures the interface understands freertos threads, but that just reduces the odds of a successfull breakpoint even lower (and you can forget about support on the other ones).
