In other words, this is just some rando's opinion with no basis in reality? Nice of them to state this in the first paragraph and spare us the effort of reading the rest of their post.
Not to sound like a Boomer, but I still genuinely don't get what Twitter is for. I actually finally created an account a year ago and most of my follows are pretty high-brow (journalists, various industry experts, some big shots in my outer circle) and I still get almost no value from it. They use twitter to post inside jokes or promos to web content that I didn't have trouble finding without twitter. Maybe 1 out of every 1000 tweets will have an unfiltered take that I can't get somewhere else.

Also, the promoted tweets are always way, way off my interests. They look like pigeon droppings on my windshield.

> I think the point is just that for most applications…

I guess it would make more sense if they came right out and said that it’s best used for these applications where it’s acting as a reverse proxy for a heavy backend and therefore performance isn’t a big issue.

But I’m constantly confused by the vague responses combined with the allusions to claims that it’s super-fast because it uses Go like Google or Tweets about it being 20X more performant than nginx when it’s clearly not.

5.x is just the 2.x base continued with newer plug-ins & newer apis for those plug-ins. Unchecking things during installation (e.g. choosing the lite install) or just removing the unwanted plug-ins was always an option to make a 5.x into a comparable 2.x install.

The Rifters Trilogy, also by Peter Watts is a great read as well. It focuses a bit more on the transhumanism aspects but non-conscious intelligence is a secondary theme of the last two books.

Pretty much any book by Greg Egan covers these ideas since nearly all of his stories take place somewhere in a shared universe at different points of humanity approaching the singularity. Check out his short stories in Axiomatic or the full length novels Permutation City and Schild's Ladder.

Unlocking Static Type Superpowers with GraphQL Introspection“
I've written a couple of reasonably well-received guides about running in a New England winter. As you've clearly learned, such activity is its own specialized thing, requiring its own habits and preparations even beyond running the rest of the year. My guides focus mainly on situational awareness (e.g. always knowing your escape route around piles of snow if a car comes along) and gear. You've identified a couple of gaps (e.g. the winter-specific dangers of running in the early morning) and reminded me that those guides are generally due for an update. Thank you.

The issue is triggered with some code that is not yet upstream in QEMU, so we do not know whether the bug is in the kernel, or whether it is in a problem with this new QEMU code.

Yes, that's one of the possibilities here. However the point of the comment and what the article illustrates in my view, is that these grand projects can turnout to be horribly misguided in retrospect. And you may say to that, "but this time is different, because..."

>None of them had anywhere the level "scientific consensus" on the topic as climate change has.

Which is fine as far as that goes. However, consensuses have been wrong before, even when dressed in the pretenses of science. Cannabis prohibition would be a good example where research was exclusively funded to show the harms of cannabis. Today CBD is presented as a cure all. A common thread would be the underlying financial and political incentives for prohibition. Incentives matter. Another parallel might exist in the fear based promotion of prohibition.

>Climate change needs everyone to do something...

Yes, and as we examine the proposed solutions most of them revolve around new taxes and supranational bodies issuing currency in the form of "carbon indulgences" or "carbon credits". We are supposed to believe that those horrible oil companies have every incentive to distort the facts about the climate. Yet simultaneously we should also believe there are no malign incentives for or distortions surrounding the inverse. We should unquestioningly believe there are no ulterior motives for those who would appoint themselves to issue carbon credits, permission slips to consume energy needed by every human on Earth.

That's a bit of a stretch, but it is possible. It is also possible that just like the proposed project in 1958, which was imagined as a boon for the Siberian region, future geoengineering projects will also have unanticipated dangers. It looked good at the time, just like the drug war looked good at one time. Today the climate agenda and geoengineering looks appealing to many.

Maybe not. Maybe we don't know as much as we think we know?

Maybe the business isn't profitable / exciting enough to make the founders want to continue dedicating their time to that particular company / business model, but could be appealing enough for another organization to add to their portfolio.

> 1865-1965 saw more than 1 amendment per decade

No, it didn't. It averaged more than one per decade, which isn't the same thing.

In that period you had the post-Civil War Amendments (3, between 1865 and 1870), more than 40 years with nothing, another burst from 1913-1920 (3 amendments), a burst in 1933 (2 amendments), one by itself in 1951, and then a flurry overlapping the end of the period from 1961-1971 (4 amendments, 2 each before and after your 1965 cutoff).

And, just to be complete, after that you’ve got one solitary amendment in 1992 (the last of the 11 that have passed of the 12 proposed together as the Bill of Rights) and nothing since.

> Not the longest dry spell either, the early 1800s also had a 50ish year void.

61 from the 12th Amendment, the last of the fairly immediate post-Constitution ones, in 1804 to the 13th, the first of the post-Civil War ones, in 1865.
Seems pretty pointless to me, too.

I'll make the assumption that the founders have zero financial interest in Winamp. What's the point of exerting IP rights if you have nothing to gain financially... is it pride? A latent desire to stagnate innovation? Making other peoples' lives harder because yours was too? Who knows?
I think you’re mixing two different things here.

Facebook grew not because of Ad Dollars. It grew because it built an all-star product experience for consumers. It’s easy now to look at Facebook and think of its as Fait Accompli. But when Facebook came about, they arrived in the second renaissance of social networking. You had so many competitors right from incumbents like MySpace and right to upstarts like Friendster, Friednfeed. Literally then no one could predict who would win.

Facebook’s relentless product building made big enough to earn the problems of scale. Remember, when Facebook IPO’d it literally had a blip of ads business.

Both things can be true. But what I’m saying is, Facebook absolutely lights out built an incredible product experience and moat.

Now, they’re finally dealing with problems of scale. Which honestly aren’t due to bumbling per se, but really just come with the territory. Twitter haven’t even gotten their cowboy pants on

I wish for that too. But their moderation has shown they don’t believe it. It is one of the most opaque and arbitrary processes you can find. If they really want to be transparent (and build a healthy platform) they need to fix that first.

As somebody who works on computer vision, my general take on these things is that adversarial examples are like poison.

It would be fairly easy to add poison to a water supply or the air intake of a large building and kill a large number of people. This rarely happens though.

It's ok that water sources, buildings, and people aren't completely immune to poison. The safety requirement isn't that poison can't hurt. Instead, we rely on weaker protections. We try to make known poisons hard to make, we try to track people who could make them, and we try to make it hard to deliver poison.

I believe the same will be true of adversarial examples for vision (and language) models. We can try to make them hard to make, hard to posses anonymously, and hard to deliver. I think this will be much easier with computer vision than with poison, so I'm not worried about it.

For example, consider the case of pasting a sticker on a speed limit sign that causes Teslas to swerve off the road. Governments should protect people from this in multiple ways, similarly to how they protect us from poison:

1. People who post these stickers should go to prison.
2. People who create and distribute these stickers knowing their purpose should go to prison.
3. Tesla should be civilly liable for cases where preventing such an incident was possible with known technology.
4. Roads should be modified over time to make it more difficult to do this attack.

I think some combination of the above would be enough to make society as comfortable with adversarial example risk as we are with poison risk.

Agreed but as a read-only user of HN, I am compelled to say that your comment borders on Reddit-like low brow posts that fills most of their tech subreddits. I come here to get a break from all that and get an idea of purely the technical aspect of stuff.

I have not seen such a great community on the internet before, so if you have any recommendations of forums like HN, it would be great!
It seems to me theres a difference between attacks that carefully craft an image that slips through the cracks, and an attack that basically exploits the fact that without context, it's hard to figure out what single item is important. If I took a picture of a conch shell on top of my keyboard and sent it to someone, no one would think I was just showing off my keyboard! They'd assume, correctly, that my desk was a mess and I didn't feel like finding a clear surface.

That's not to say that either attack is less harmful than the other! If you train an image classifier to find bikers, it's not really wrong or right to say that a picture of a biker qualifies. But if a car stops lest it run over a painted bike on the road, that's obviously bad. The problem is that you aren't trying to recognize bikers, you're trying to avoid obstacles. We just don't train well for that.

How does it work for "Sherlock Holmes"? He is in that boat already. The last novel was published in 1927 so still copyrighted, but most of it is public domain. Considering you can still buy the novels you would think his name and appearance would be trademarkable, but shows and movies are in the clear as long as they stick to the public domain part of the lore.

I can't recommend Caddy enough. I switched to that for a simple server of mine and I was able to throw away a whole bunch of junk as a result.

The only thing I wasn't so sure about was the DSL that should be used for configuring Caddy, but after using it I have to say it's very well designed, and rewriting the same configuration in something like JSON would only complicate things in the end.

How about this for a funding model: tie executive compensation to revenue growth.

Mozilla has had five fold increases in CEO compensation over the last fifteen years, as Firefox market share has gone down six fold. Firefox had ~30% market share in the mid 2000's, and now it has less than five percent market share. Safari has twice the market share Firefox does, by some metrics.

Mozilla has literally paid its CEOs fantastical salaries for driving the company into the ground.

Mitchell Baker made $2.5M in 2018 and now in 2021 she's making over $3M.

Mozilla laid of nearly 300 employees post pandemic because of declining revenue.

Being a browser company and seeing declining revenue during a period when damn near every tech company was printing money because everyone hopped online...that's a real special kind of incompetence.

Then there's the fact that Mozilla insists on having multiple offices in probably the most expensive real estate markets in the world. San Fran, Paris, Toronto, Portland? Not just that, but look at where the offices are. I'm not suggesting Mozilla move out to the burbs, but...the offices are dead-center downtown.

If Mozilla moved those offices about a mile or two from the city centers (or shut most of them down - there's no reason to have THREE west-coast offices, especially post-pandemic), and adjusted C-suite salaries to be indexed to growth, I think that would be a great "funding model."
Careful, you're dangerously close to realizing that Executives at companies provide vanishingly little day to day value to companies.

I'd bet in most companies the CEO is basically just a buffer between the board and the rest of the company, and essentially a fall guy position so the board can avoid accountability.
He was pretty much CEO in name only at this point, as was pretty much apparent during his Congress testimonies.

I suspect we're going to find in the future that Influenza will have been replaced by a variant of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), the disease spreads the same way, and outcompetes the flu in every way, furthermore, our public health response for CoV-2 (Masking, Quarantine, Isolation, etc) also impacts flu (probably disproportionately), and flu unlike CoV-2 is truly seasonal.

So we may have eradicated flu, by simply replacing it with a much more fearsome illness.

Anyone can fork a coin and add a few minor features.

Yet, the fork would have nearly zero value. And history has shown that coins with near zero value very soon have no users and die.

That tells you that it isn't the features that give a cryptocurrency its value. The value is in the pool of users who believe it has value. The features of a cryptocurrency are in many ways irrelevant.
