Both sides of the Wasm env are userland, you can expose any method you wish into the Wasm environment. You don't even need WASI, its just a crutch for programs that expect libc.

Wasm is two things, CFI and capabilities, everything else is an implementation detail.

Your definition of a container is too limited in scope. You don't understand what I or Solomon Hykes are saying wrt Wasm and isolation. I tried to help.

While it's great and all for america to invest in the environment at the end of the day america is still only a small part of the world. The issues of climate are global in nature and unlikely to be solved in my lifetime.
Medford resident here. We experienced a few days of 900+ last summer.

It's very bad. Even in the 400's, it feels like chain smoking. At 900 the air is thick enough to block out most of sun. I have no idea what this has done to my health, but I guarantee it's not good.
The reason they want us in offices is real property is the root of power.

If they don’t own all that land they lose influence locally. They can’t put on spectacle in their “stadium”, distracting us from the reality we reconnected to during covid.
Why should low cap business owners be able to exploit foreign laborers just because they’re low cap?
No, since there is no good way to measure how much a person's individual work is worth (in software engineering). There are ways to do that in finance and sales - that's why the pay bands for those fields are so much wider.

I think the reality is the best engineers are probably worth on the order of multiple millions per year or more (assuming they are working at a place with leverage), and the average engineer is probably worth much less than they are making now. That's the power law we see with YouTube creators, for example. If people had reliable ways of identifying who is actually a really high performer, the pay bands might look more like that. The pay smoothing (since it's hard to make an accurate measurement of efficiency) actually benefits the average engineer over the super high performers.

> Most router manufacturers will warn you against doing this for these exact reasons...

As opposed to actually solving that problem? I mean, if GMail, Jira, GitHub and GitLab all manage to provide secure web UIs, then what's the excuse of routers?

Why should the manufacturers just offload the technical complexity to the end user, as opposed to supporting something like 2FA through TOTP or an equivalent? Sure, that's not to say that any piece of software doesn't need extensive security testing, but at the very least they should attempt to establish a perimeter of sorts for their web application and use whatever popular auth mechanisms have been widely used in the industry in the last 5 years.

As for the eventual "routers don't receive updates" counterpoint: if my Debian boxes can receive unattended security updates, what makes it so that my router couldn't? If lots of self-hosted software like GitLab is relatively secure, what's to prevent routers from receiving a similar treatment and attention?

Personally, i'm just writing this to bring the odd juxtaposition to light - that things we oftentimes take for granted in regards to typical web apps are somehow not only not often implemented but also are unthinkable for some reason when it comes to devices like routers. I don't believe that this is a good thing and some sort of a convergence should happen sooner or later - GNU/Linux or BSD based router software that all of the vendors could adopt and, ideally, an open source web UI alongside mechanisms to keep it up to date automatically.

Of course, for some odd business reasons, that's unlikely to happen. Looking at the current state of routers, i find it extremely odd that every vendor has their own piece of software that's so different from the others out there, even down to many of the terms that are used to configure the operation modes etc. Yet, when we want to purchase a personal computer, we don't buy one with DellOS or HP-OS or what have you...
Hah, somehow this is the first time someone’s told me to check my privilege on the internet! Time to celebrate :)

...Except you seem to have completely ignored the actual words in my comment. I was explicitly not talking about my experience (as you’ve astutely deduced, I’m a privileged guy from a first world country.) I was talking about the direct words of countless people I’ve hosted through Couchsurfing, the majority (!) of which were from countries that my guests themselves would describe as third world and impoverished. I’m simply repeating the words spoken to me by many a traveler down to their last pennies: their almost religious creed, which they will repeat happily, that anyone can travel no matter how broke. Whenever I would ask if I could tell their story, they insisted I should, proud of it as a giant middle finger to the cynics of the world. So when you respond with “check your privilege”, you’re really telling an impoverished Ukrainian guy whose house was bombed to pieces to check his privilege - I'm simply the storyteller for him and his compatriots, because HN rarely intersects with their world.

I would implore you to talk to the same people you claim cannot exist - the millions of impoverished travelers of the world. I don’t think I do their stories justice. But the ridiculous claim that they cannot exist, that they must live their lives without so much as a sunset (!) as you said - that to me is disgusting and strips them from their agency as humans. But hey, take it up with them, I suppose. Feel free to pick up a hitchhiker and lecture him how he doesn’t and shouldn’t exist - but don’t forget to tell him to check his privilege before you let him out.

Supplements for fat soluble nutrients like vitamin D generally have poor bioavailability unless used with specialized emulsifiers for insoluble compounds that aren't widely used [1]. The body has a hard time buffering and storing the excess, which it can't filter out through the kidneys.

It's like fast acting insulin versus insulin produced by a functioning pancreas - it's going to keep someone alive but it's not ideal for the body long term.

Are good ideas just destined to be corrupted? Some examples:

Royce: "These are the flaws in the 'Waterfall model'" -> everybody looks at his diagram and uses it [1]

Agile: "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools" -> SAFe [2]

DevOps: "Assign development and operations the same business goals so they work together, rather than against each other" -> "DevOps was a cultural shift giving development teams more control over shipping code to production" (this article)

That this gets upvoted to #2 speaks poorly of HN. Why on earth are we still talking about the DAO? This is a collection of tired, irrelevant arguments that entirely ignores product-market fit and a large, vibrant community of developers.

Ten years ago I thought that people would stop installing random indie games onto their computers and just play these small games in the browser. It never happened, people trust Steam, Gog, Epic and Itch.io more than they trust the web. Instead the web became increasing bloated and the ads and tracking became unbearable.

When Unity do streaming, it wont be through a browser, it will be a dedicated app that users trust. (like Netflix).

The value proposition of streaming is not that its on the web, it's that you don't need expensive hardware.
Also, humans or not, in any given system, there will be people in position to analyze and take advantage of subtle / indirect / emergent effect of that system. Be it better brains, more funding to try strategies, it will happen.
Certain people can’t imagine what it’s like to really need a job because they’ve never experienced it or known anyone who has. Its privilege mixed with very narrow life experiences and social circles.
> TikTok is great before sleep, I don't get the urge to check it all the time, I don't feel FOMO.

Yeah, Ethereum's development isn't a simple project that can be rushed, it's massively complicated.

This road map comes to mind:
https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/133392262085774540...

It's very outdated now, that's not the point. The point is that every circle on the road map is a very complicated project in and of itself that needs tons of research, development and testing to be implemented properly. Just the code itself is thousands of commits.
This isn’t a town, it’s an off campus dorm. Or at most a big apartment complex. A lot of ASU students and recent grads live in that part of town. I lived right down the street 7 years ago, it was a very party atmosphere. They also had a gym and a pool and right on a light rail stop with commercial space on the first floor. But they also had a giant parking garage and a public light rail park and ride (hint that’s where a lot of the residents will park their cars).

It’s an interesting concept, but it’s applicability outside of this location is not clear to me.
Deaths from natural disasters are at or near civilizational all time lows on a fractional basis of the population, see quote below. This trend in lower deaths should continue. It is not clear to me that we are experiencing more extreme weather events than 100 years ago. We haven't had anything like the Dust Bowl (1930s) or the Great Chinese Famine that killed 45 million (https://alphahistory.com/chineserevolution/great-chinese-fam...) or the Chinese Famine of 1907 that killed 25 million (https://www.bartleby.com/essay/The-Deadly-Famine-And-The-190...). Or the Bengal famine or the Vietnamese famine of the 40s. Or the Yangtze flood of 1931 that killed 2 million. Or the Bhola cyclone of 1970 that killed 500K (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_Bhola_cyclone)

"What we see is that in the early-to-mid 20th century, the annual death toll from disasters was high, often reaching over one million per year. In recent decades we have seen a substantial decline in deaths. In most years fewer than 20,000 die (and in the most recent decade, this has often been less than 10,000). Even in peak years with high-impact events, the death toll has not exceeded 500,000 since the mid-1960s.

This decline is even more impressive when we consider the rate of population growth over this period. When we correct for population – showing this data in terms of death rates (measured per 100,000 people) – we see an even greater decline over the past century. This chart can be viewed here."

If it's going to be a weekly or biweekly thing like groceries or banking, and just about everyone needs it, why have every full-time employee work it out ad-hoc? It seems simpler to have those places open a few more hours a day.

(And if you want to reduce how much people work then it's better to just shorten the standard work week than to add in a weekly grocery exception.)
The max timer is too short. 6 months would be a convenient value - enough time to reference the messages while they might be relevant, but also not floating around forever

No, I would like to mine it.

Imagine: a network where the only gains you get are from spending your money quickly. The anti-hodl. It would be completely worthless as a store of value or investment vehicle. Its only conceivable use would be as a fast and efficient transaction ledger.

Which is what I wanted out of blockchain to begin with! I'd be happy to support a network like that, even if my income was rapidly vanishing.
Isn't it basically the same as the dew point temperature? I believe a lot more people are familiar with that.
I have heard that sunlight also causes the skin to produce nitric oxide, which supposedly has all kinds of benefits.

I am not claiming this and don't have a reliable source to point to.
My understanding is that it’s extremely hard to get large scale controlled studies on sun exposure vs vitimin d supplementation, so there is lots of uncertainty still on relative efficacy. I wouldn’t say certainly that it’s inferior to sun exposure, but sun exposure can clearly have many more effects than just stimulating production of vitimin d that could then appear to correlate with D serum levels.

Some more reading specifically on vitimin D:

I haven't looked at it as deeply -- thanks for pointing this out. Up until now I actually wanted to use MinIO for running an S3 service (Ceph + RadosGW is also an option for me, and this thread make me consider it over MinIO though it was always a strong contender). In the process of researching I earmarked SeaweedFS and cortx[0], but SeaweedFS attracted me way more -- looks like it would fit me "just right".

It'd be nice if there were an issue to explain this shortcoming, does the project know it happens and it's like a "hopefully we'll have auto scaling/adjusting volumes/online configuration update in the future" or something? How would one mitigate that?

I don't understand why you are so bitter about this.

The fact that Wasm has a binary representation is orthogonal to the design. It has CFI and capabilities. CFI allows it to be compiled down to native code safely and run inside the same address space of the containing process. Capabilities control what gets in or out. You would be well served to ignore the whole bytecode aspect and just accept the Wast.

I lost interest in Eth when the “code is law” law was broken. I’m glad I did. I don’t believe proof of steak is the correct solution to the energy required for proof of work. To be clear, a lot of good insight has come from Eth, but I’m not ideologically bought in anymore.

Recently I have been exploring Chia as a farmer. Rather than the ruling class being a group devs and random early miners, the ruling class is a (soon public) corporation. At least a corporation has a clear legal structure of existence in a capitalist society. I see it as a sort of anchor between a purely cyber community and the actual world we subject ourselves to. I can buy shares in a corporation if I want to participate in the ruling class. The ruling class has legal agency to increase the value of its share price, which is the dual of it’s the underlying asset. Farmers still make less over time but the logistics are clearly laid out in detail, and TX fees kick in to supplement. Maybe it too will all go up in flames, but until it does I’m along for the ride. I believe we can sustain a proof of work system that is orders of magnitude more efficient than constantly running sha. And personally I feel “crypto” has had enough iterations that it’s about time to pick an innovative one and throw some labor behind it.
I agree that at first it seems to be a bad idea, but the more I think about it, the more I think it makes for a great test case to prove the AI is robust enough and that it can be trusted for real life scenarios. It also feels kind of inevitable.

It seems like a safe playground, maybe it will lose a few tokens, but if they are no legal consequences, who cares ? The best place to move fast and break things, and with great reward potential.

If I take some freelancer to write them what's telling me that they are not already using something like codex or copilot. It's like when a factory release its used water in the river nearby. Maybe we shouldn't drink from the river anymore, but it would be better to test the water the factory release to make sure it's OK.
Maybe the system is broken, why should this data be visible to the customer service by default?

Some competent Apple engineers could have created some privacy/security focused systems. And for the cases where this engineers can't create such a system have this type of operation forwarded to a different support person in a higher level.
Amazon's Echo, I use it every day. It cost me less than $100 in 2014 and so far it's given me 7+ years of constant use. I never thought it would be so handy. I've bought lots of 1st generation devices and most of them get used for a bit and end up in the closet just before they get taken to the recycler but my 1st generation echo is still running strong.

I listen to streaming radio, music, podcasts. It reads my kindle books. I can ask it for the time, news, timers and to turn lights on. The list goes on and on. Yup, Amazon is the current boogey-company but they sure know how to keep a customer happy.
And here I was thinking some sort of FTL company. $320M seemed cheap.

Dehumidifiers are air conditioners that put the heat back in the air they treat instead of dumping it outside. Your electricity would be better spent operating a real air conditioner.
Mike Lindell's Cyber Symposium
Mike Lindell (the MyPillow guy) is currently hosting a cyber symposium with ostensibly cyber security experts discussing how it would be possible to hack voting machines.

He mentions packet captures frequently, how they allegedly can't be tampered with, and therefore are a potential source of evidence for election interference.

Are there any technical networking/cyber security folks on HN who can help shed light on this claim and any of his other claims? What is he missing? Alternateively are any of his points valid? Can any experts in the HN community "steelman" his argument?

I know there are professors out there like Andrew Appel at Princeton who have done a lot of computer science research into voting machines: https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/voting/

The event stream is at frankspeech [dot] com
(Commercially available) Dehumidifiers are basically small air conditioners with both the hot and cold side in the same room. You can't run them without electricity, and if you can run a dehumidifier, you may as well dump the heat outdoors instead and cool and dehumidify your space.
Correct, the bomb is meant to be moved. It is more like a carrot/stick. It is the gadget that allows the devs to turn off the lights on the miners when they are ready to turn them off. Having a forced migration knob is a good thing.

The SF salary is high because of high demand and low supply (of competent engineers). If you move remote, you increase the supply of competent engineers (there are likely people in middle-of-nowhere that are just as good as SF engineers but don't want to move because of other reasons - hence market inefficiency). Since you're increasing supply with the same demand, now the SF salary is going to drop (and establish a new market clearing price with the new supply & demand dynamics).

I think in the long run the SF salary (for the average developer) will be a historical anomaly in a place and time - kind of like the California Gold Rush in the 19th century.

(If your argument boils down to SF having more strictly more competent engineers than other places and that being the cause of the pay discrepancy, I strongly disagree)
