This is the oil/gas industry trying to keep themselves relevant. Thats why we keep hearing abouti it.

Hydrogen can be cheap (extracted from natural gas) or green (electrolysis). It can't be both.

At some point I wonder if health insurers will start denying claims related to the treatment of COVID infections if the person is eligible for the vaccine but has refused to get one?

On TV today I saw that Kroger employees don't get sick day pay if they are off because of COVID unless they have been vaccinated (and I would assume there's a medical exemption).
These are pure guesses on my part, but I would guess that 99% of laptops that are sold each year are purchased with 16GB or less RAM and 99% of laptops that have been sold all time have never had their RAM upgraded.

So I would also guess the number of people willing to buy one of these is pretty high. I purchased the MacBook Air and love it. So fast, so quiet. Could I afford it? Yes. But I also typically use a Mac for 5-7 years so I did not consider it overly expensive.
Then why not fire people who are overweight? That kills more people; reduces work capacity more than any other, and costs more money than any other health issue we have. Additionally, if you are healthy and do not have the comorbidities that come with being overweight your risks of being a Covid mortality is less than the flu. So to be consistent Google should fire everyone that is overweight right? And you should be totally ok with that.

Why not fire people who drive cars - the risk of dying and killing other people is greater than Covid presents for most every age category...especially those ages that are working for Google. And you should be o.k. with that too.
Stop politicizing public health.
It's not about prestige as much as budgets and "public/private collaboration", ie prior to Reagan and the "small government movements" most regulatory bodies had well funded labs and engineering teams capable and authorized to do independent research in order to validate claims made by industry.

post Reagan when the government budgets were cut and organisation asked to streamline/"rationalize" outsource and cut down on fluff the first thing cut were those labs as the new way of thinking was that they should let the regulated do their own safety research and that the government should merely check that the resulting documentation was conforming to formatting standards rather then validating the results.

This causes situations where large companies basically gets to be both accused and judge in cases where the safety of their products are in question, as they are the only one who can realistically produce and present studies to the regulators on the safety of their products. And it's not limited to the Boeing, nor to government as the same ideas of "rationalization" is prevalent in the management textbooks most enterprise managers are trained from.
>Which sites are you actually complaining about here?

Every website which loads way more content than its use case justifies. If the high quality of my device and ubiquitous broadband is the only reason that something appears to be loading fast, that's not good.

>Or let's pick a technical resource. go.dev's landing page? No noticeable delay in loading for me

Among other things, that's because this is a website loading what it has to, instead of everything and the kitchen sink. 885kB in total, and most of that are the images of "companies using go".
I may sound like a sucker/fanboy/looser but having tried twice to enter and having failed both times I really cannot imagine giving up a role in Google because of vaccination. It just sounds like giving up so much for so little (a cause). I mean I was literally crying the first time around.

Anyway. Maybe in US/SV good jobs come easier (I'm in 2nd grade EU country) and thus you can see things clearer. Dunno

> I didn't quote a percentage of randomness

Ah, you're right, I blurred it with the comment that said they agree 100%.

>so I made a true statement.

No, you didn't, and it's not pedantry to say "don't dismiss a rating system because you can find the occasional outlier". That would be a big mistake, and merits being called out. Even speaking loosely, none of that justifies calling it "basically random".

The test of a discussion forum is whether good comments are generally pushed up (and vice versa) and how well that does compared to discussion forums in general. The occasional pathological case does not suddenly make it worthless or "basically random".
Yes they can do that. They can then complain about the huge labor shortage.
And you're saying that that was the reason? I'm just trying to divine the relevance of the "other frameworks that chose a different path w.r.t. metaprogramming seem to be the more popular (and growing) choice today" claim.

I'm not sure I can agree that it's clear someone spent a lot of time building something they felt was reasonable.

The entire technical underpinnings of this solution rely on essentially neural image embeddings, which are very well known to be susceptible to all sorts of clever attacks. Notice how within a day or two of the announcement of this whole system and it's symbols, people were already finding lots of 'hash' collisions.

In the space of people and places that can train and implement/serve such embeddings, these issues are pretty widely known, which makes it very non-obvious how this happened IMO. Someone that understood all of these issues seems to have directly ignored them.
Having read some Jax high-performance code, I do like Jax, but it does feel a bit too abstract and low level sometimes. Maybe there aren’t good coding conventions or performance trumped them? Definitely needs improvement on error messages, as well.

For example, a long chain of pmaps, each with some sort of device partitioning logic, not JIT compiling is extremely hard to understand. I basically had to binary search code until the compile errors disappeared.

I hate these forced software updates with a passion!

If you're sure the software update was what killed your watch, you should demand nothing less than a new replacement watch, at no additional cost to you.
There's no HOWTO because the experience isn't up to end user standards; I haven't even gotten around to settling on the precise U-Boot config/boot chain yet, and I don't really encourage non-kernel-developers to try to install things at this point (though we have some folks doing it anyway). Right now the focus is very much on kernel developers doing tethered boots via USB. That will change rather soon, as enough core drivers are getting merged or usable to make this actually useful for people without very high standards (e.g. we just merged in proper keyboard/touchpad support), so now it's worth spending more time on the installer, to get it to the point where the stand-alone boot flow is where it needs to be.

(If you're a developer and you want to do tethered boot and you know what you are doing, the guide is simple: make sure you have macOS 12.0.1 or newer, use diskutil to resize macOS to leave at least 3GB of unpartitioned space, boot holding down power / options / terminal, curl -L mrcn.st/alxsh | sh and follow the prompts, once you're booted into m1n1 you can use m1n1.git/proxyclient/tools/linux.py from another machine connected via USB to run a kernel / initramfs).
I don't want to defend the comment you replied to, but there is obviously some nuance to the topic. Your comment makes it look like you're jumping right on the opposite side and have been rolling dice for 24 years. There is obviously some sort of substance in trading. To what degree, is the question here.

It's still not really ready for prime-time, but I've got a M1 mac mini running debian as an arm64 build bot (and a few other small things) now, and I can say that the bits that work, work really well.

Now if I could just get one with 64G of RAM and 2TB of SSD... ;)

edit: the setup process is still far from polished but that's not unexpected this early, and it's still in a 'build your own kernel' state. But it was easy enough to get going in an hour or two with a pointer or two from IRC and from reading the wiki.
Let's see how far you get walking around completely naked. My guess is about 2 to 3 city blocks. Your civil rights have always been constrained to protect both the safety and sensibilities of those around you. It's the cost of an increasingly crowded planet full of people who also have rights.
What I find sad about this is how many who seem to be against it were just recently so in favour of private business autonomy [1].

No one's rights are being violated here. If you don't want to get vaccinated, you can. But those choices come with consequences, like just about every other choice we make.

It's worth noting that fully remote people won't fall under this policy (from my reading of it anyway) so this isn't a blanket policy.

It's also worth noting that a whole bunch of vaccines are required to attend public school already [2].

>And yet, their jobs are ESSENTIAL and we need people to do them even though they're grueling and underpaid.

I think this touches on an uncomfortable point that many people don’t acknowledge: our current system generally* pays people according to how much they contribute to the economy and not by how much they contribute to society.

The scalable nature of software means developers can disproportionately add value to the economy, even while sometimes simultaneously working on projects that could be arguably a net negative for society.

* yes, we can all point to people who get paid handsomely without adding anything substantive, but general rules are meant to be applied, well…generally

FreeBSD Handbook / Introduction
This isn't a revenue generating initiative. It is different than your examples. Apple is trying to make two groups happy, governments and customers. Governments don't like like encryption(assuming Apple starts encrypting iCloud photos with device based keys) and consumers don't like governments snooping on them. If you're were the CEO of apple who would you favor knowing either group could cost you money. Governments could prioritize antitrust initiatives against apple and consumers could stop buying apple products.
So I understand how multiplexing everything through a single TCP session is a bad idea.
But what was the problem with using multiple TCP sessions like HTTP 1.1 does? Is it just the problem that there is a latency cost to establishing the connection (even though those sessions are reused later on)?

How about extending TCP to establish multiple sessions at once instead?
Funny how now 3rd world countries have more freedom than 1st world countries due to covid.

Places like Brazil, some countries in Africa, Belarus.

A few exceptions are Sweden, Texas and Florida.

I wish I had the money to move to one of those 3 (I might land a job soon that might allow me to move to Florida very soon).

Might be able to spend 6 months in Florida and 6 months in Brazil, maybe a couple of months in my home country (south american, also not draconian and everything's open but we'll see about it in January).
I once wrote a script to automatically lock my computer if I got too far away from it, back when I was wearing a bluetooth wristband.

I had a program like this back in PowerBook days. It automatically unlocked the computer if a specified Bluetooth signal reached a particular strength, and locked the computer again if the signal strength fell below another threshold.

It worked great, when it worked. It had maybe a 70% success rate, but that was good enough.

Do they mandate people be vaccinated, or just that they upload their status. Or can they work from home and only have to be vaccinated to be allowed into the office?

I don't understand the "HTTP snippets transmuted into binary" part.

QUIC itself doesn't have the request/response style of HTTP, it doesn't know anything about HTTP, it's just datagrams and streams inside the tunnel.

So you could use QUIC to build a competitor to HTTP/3, a custom protocol with bi-directional control, data, and metadata streams.

In fact, I'm looking forward to when Someone Else writes an SFTP / FTP replacement in QUIC. HTTP is already a better file transfer protocol than FTP. (because HTTP has byte-range headers, which AIUI are not well-supported by FTP servers) Think how much we could do if multiple streams and encryption were as simple as importing one library.
> Corporations also have the means and the connections to lobby the state, which ensures the regulations are more to their liking.

I understand but under proper democracies regulations are something the society should benefit from in the first place.

IIRC in Rust it has to be either of the Ok or Err variants and the enclosed type can then provide its own "zero value" via the standard library "Default" [0] trait or your own implementation for the particular type.
That trait is also implemented not for "Result" but for "Option" giving it a default value of "None".

> it's Apple who reviews the content not the government.

An unaccountable "Apple Employee" who is likely (in the US and other countries) to be a LEO themselves will see a "visual derivative" aka a 50x50px greyscale copy of your content.

There is no mechanism to prevent said "employee" from hitting report 100% of the time, and no recourse if they falsely accuse you. The system is RIPE for abuse.

>Presumably at this stage is where malicious hashes would be detected and removed from the database.

Collision attacks have already been demonstrated. I could produce a large amount of false positives by modifying legal adult porn to collide with neural hashes. Anyone could spread these images on adult sites. Apple "employees" that "review" the "image derivatives" will then, even when acting honestly, forward you to prosecution.
> Java was created in 1995 and got generics in JDK 1.5 in 2004, I don't see anyone using this argument against Java.

Java was created in an age where very few languages with mainstream relevance had userland generics.

Go was not, and generics had already had to get (somewhat painfully) retrofitted in two of the above.

But...that's gender, linguistically speaking.
I've deactivated HTTP/3 in Firefox as the bandwidth from CloudFlare to my provider (German Telecom) gets ridiculously bad (downloading a 6 MB file takes 25 s instead of 0.6 s) during peak times, and I only see this when using HTTP/3 over IPv4, all other combinations stay fast.
> Package management

Are you seriously saying that github.com/somelib is a better package management? Of course nobody forces to use that, but it's what actually been used in most go projects. Even NPM looks better in comparison.

The best quality package management I've seen is Maven, followed by Cargo.
> these are largely the group that have started voting "Conservative"

That's not been my experience - it's the people who are distrustful of the government (any party) that aren't getting vaxxed.

I think people have a very short memory regarding the conservative vote in the last election: It was to unstick the whole Brexit issue and to stop a hard left party getting into power. Hardly anyone I know thought Boris would be a good PM, but at least those 2 mentioned things would happen.
Amen to that!

One time at Sunday school in the 80s we did a craft project, little lanterns out of coffee cans with patterns of holes punched in them. Mine was a star and a simple cross. As a kid I knew I could not play with matches but wanted to try out my new creation. So I snuck behind the garage and lit a bunch of matches and melted the candle. A week later my dad finds it, I’m adamant I have no idea where that thing came from. Later on in the day I overhear him tell mom he thinks there are some kids in the area doing some kind of satanic ritual behind the garage.

Rock and Roll however that is from satan.
Did you switch because of the proposed CSAM detector?
Thank you for reminding me of it. This caused me to delete my account there. I am no fan of apps that rely on synchronous experiences, and I also see much higher value in podcasts and their curation (having show notes to know in advance what is covered, being able to skip over uninteresting parts and the content is of higher quality because less spontaneous.
> draconian measures

really?

What's the fuzz about anti vaxxers always talking about "won't stop infection" or "stop the pandemic" - 1st this is not black and white - 2nd and nowhere I have seen that these are the actual arguments for these measures?
> I have never had this problem. Do you have any example feeds you encounter this with? Are you sure its not just a bug in your reader?

I mean, it's hard to say whether it's a bug in my reader, given that the RSS spec makes no mention of how relative links should work. I've variously used Newsbeuter, Newsboat, Newsblur, and The Old Reader and have never not had this problem.

(Edit: an example from this morning: Newsblur didn't know what to do with the footnote links in Dan Luu's blog [https://danluu.com/atom.xml]. Aside: Newsblur seems to be responding with 500s for about every other request today. sigh isn't technology wonderful?)

> Having RSS completely static means that hosting an RSS feed is super simple and does not require the increased attack potential of a dynamic service - something that the current federated web protocols completely fail at.

Pagination would work fine with static hosting. And "updates-since" requests wouldn't preclude static hosts from ignoring them and working exactly how they work now.

I agree with you about federated web protocols though - I'm pretty bummed ActivityPub requires an inbox, otherwise I think it would pretty much work with static hosting.

> I don't think creating a separate RSS-only web of links makes sense.

You're right, it doesn't really make sense. I think the crux of my frustration there is that we've got a syndication system that's bolted on top of the web, rather than properly integrated. It's probably the best that can be done though, without an entire separate hypertext system.

> Lots? Really? iframes are more dead than RSS, at least for anything outside of ads.

Youtube and Vimeo embeds are mostly where I see them.

>> or content that only makes sense with JS enabled

> Limiting RSS to static mostly-text content provides a lot of consistency.

I'm not complaining that feed items can't execute Javascript; I'm annoyed that sometimes the (textual) content of the post refers directly to other content that's only there after JS adds it. (I'm not blaming authors, this is just a problem of the content being written for a webpage and then being included in a different context. Again, an issue of the syndication system having been bolted onto the web.)

> Ugly, yes, but how is this a problem in practice? Just because it's not as hip as JSON?

No, I don't particularly love JSON either. XML does indeed work okay, but I pretty regularly (a couple times a year, maybe?) see broken feeds because of mis-escaped content. I think one of the feed generators of someone I follow produces bad CDATA tags too. Pretty hard to mess up JSON escaping (as much as HTML-in-JSON makes me shudder).
They are Not scanning the photos But if there is a positive scan of the hash of a photo then the photo will be send to a human to check. Now with a certain error rate it is sure that humans working at apple will see privat photos that don’t have child pornography in them .
