> The funny thing is that this is basically what this and any other anti-e2ee regulation is about.

Because you refuse to understand that we only want suspect communications, not all of them, and also that we don't want to break encryption to acheive that because the person might as well be innocent.

> Yet it is still illegal and people are still being arrested for ordering drugs and producing their own, how curious.

You won't until there is a problem that alerts the authority.

Yes and yes, add much more.

I disagree.

Anyway, I've been prosecuted on wrong basis myself, and got out winner, I'm not affraid this is going to change. I trust my state, my police, my judges, who are independent and who will have to issue a mandate based on serious suspicious before they read my communications.

Because, that's how present reality works.
> So the risk is limited as long as the loans can be liquidated in time in case of a price crash.

If I may guess, it seems unlikely there are too many folks in DeFi circles who have ever heard acronym LTCM.

(TL;DR: A bunch of actual Nobel laureates (no kidding, or at least as much as Nobel price in economics is an actual Nobel) founded a huge and famous hedge fund with a trading strategy assuming they can liquidate their position at market prices. At this point you may guess that it ended tits up and was kind of a mess. Time will tell if DeFi folks were smarter than that.)
Zookos triangle is hard to solve but arguably has been by projects like namecoin and similar ETH-sphere projects

So if you take a non-US centric view and assume there's no legal repercussions and the person finding the bug has no moral compass, what exactly would prevent them from sharing the bug with a nation state and you at the same time? Sure they may get slightly less from the nation state because the bug would have a shorter shelf life, but it would still make it into the wild long before every system could be patched.

Are you using population-level accident statistics to make this assessment?

I’ve seen analysis that suggests the overall safety numbers for self-driving mode are better than human drivers, though I’ve not dug deeply enough to be confident in them.

I’d caution against extrapolating from individual incidents though. I think we should expect that at the point that self driving is safer than a human driver, it will be worse than humans in some cases - simply because it can pick up a lot of gains by never being tired, distracted, or drunk. If one just looks at the pathological cases and says “I could have avoided that accident, therefore self-driving is a worse driver than me”, I believe one would be making an error of reasoning.

There’s an interesting philosophical/legal question at play here. Does self-driving have to be strictly superior - ie no edge-cases where it is worse than a human - to be acceptable? Or can it be worse at some tasks if it’s killing fewer people overall? Many people will die if we are too strict here. And yet, people need to trust the system as well. I suspect this will be optimized based on expected costs of lawsuits, which is a poor proxy for morality…
It seems odd this is perceived as anti-aging rather than removing "zombie" cells from our body as a preventative measure that could be turned against us.

This wouldn't stop the cell from "aging" and we still have aging-related issues like with memory degradation and other stuff that is not related to the zombie cells.
I love it, but i think the video from "the oldskool pc" is a bit inprecise in claiming it brings everything necessary to implement features like reading off the disk: now maybe I have overlooked something but how are you going to put something into eax and then do int 80h? the only interupts in the codebase are 10 and 16, so i assume it is a challenge for the reader to implement anything that has to do with hardware, though a universal api to do interrupts would be nice in the core language
> Posting something on the public internet is not consent for you to scrape it and post it on your own site forever.

It effectively is. Your consent is not required, and people are doing far worse than just keeping it available (Clearview; there are also reports of people hoovering up encrypted data to crack in the coming decades when we're post-quantum).

This is no different than demanding people not keep track of anything else, and attacking archive.org might make you feel better, but that won't make anyone else stop.

The problem is that the URLs themselves got deprecated: the entire interlinked ecosystem got destroyed. Maybe think of what would happen if all of our current TLDs got deprecated tomorrow, and in a year or two support for them would start getting dismantled. Every single link anyone has ever posted on Hacker News is now broken. Now what?

You are all making it sound like this isn't some big deal: that people just needed to "get their act together"... but how do you rebuild the world wide web after breaking every link in the web? Whose job is it even to fix every single link on every single page and stored in every single comment in every single database?

Now, you can certainly argue that the old system was broken by insecurity and thereby had to die. But that just means the entire concept of onion services was some temporary art project more than a platform on which people could build the kind of ecosystem we have on the "normal" world wide web. At best, it means that people needed to come up with some extremely different way of thinking about what those .onion addresses really were, as they were clearly more like IP addresses than hostnames.

I personally can't help but think there could have been some better transition plan. Like maybe a mechanism where people can leave cross-signed redirects from v2 to v3 domains, and maybe even they would only be honored if signed before some date, or maybe there is a disambiguation dialog for competing redirects that also shows the time the redirect was published (these being attempts to deal with "in the future someone could crack this and start making arbitrary redirects for any old site").

But that clearly didn't happen and now that entire ecosystem is dead. Maybe it will rebuild, and maybe one day it will be stronger than it is now, but frankly... when that happens, wouldn't you expect people to start pointing out that the cryptography of the ECC curve they are using is now subject to breaking by quantum computers or whatever we have in another 15 years? Maybe they will handle that transition better, or maybe the mere thought of that will serve as a lesson to not rebuild inside that design.

Truly, though, a design that doesn't take this into consideration from the beginning is inherently flawed. As I noted in passing earlier: these .onion names were clearly more like IP addresses, and so you needed some kind of translation later on top of that to provide later portability. As much as I often hate on the current players in "decentralized DNS" (for various reasons that they could have avoided), that's the kind of concept that clearly is going to win the day going forward.
I hope so, I'm in that field since 2003, started with the first night vision system in series production and built an number of those systems since.

One of the problems is tenperature range. Driving continuiusly in Death Valley can heat up your camera to the point it runs away into thermal self destruction, if you don't take counter measures. This is not a problem for mobile phones.

Another issue is continuously processing uncompressed data. Mobile phones compress with hardware support, especially in video mode. I had one of my mobiles shut down during a long video conference. This must not happen to an assistance system.
> What I do wonder though, given ASML is a Dutch company […]

It should be remembered that they have an international supply chain, including lots of stuff out of the US. If the US wanted to, they could basically prevent ASML from shipping finished products.

Not only is ASML a one-of-a-kind company, but so are a lot of their suppliers/partners.

I like OCaml a lot but I agree that it suffers from this tooling/ecosystem problem. Even un-fancy languages with good tooling are just going to win, at the end of the day. Go is the main example of this. Rust also has great tooling that's gotten better over time.

I think over time Jane Street will (continue to) open source more of its libraries, and hopefully soon will also migrate onto Dune (internally they use jenga[0]). This should mean that the ecosystem within Jane Street more closely matches the external environment and tooling should get better as they push patches upstream.

Hopefully.

Some of this is likely due to high lime content, which is self healing. Generally lower strength, longer cure time, but does not get attacked as hard by water due to remineralization. It is similar to how limestone naturally forms (think stalactites).

Autopilot may be a marketing name and people can voice their opinion about it as not being appropriate or whatever but where did the notion come from that "Autopilot" means it works on its own without human?

Autopilot is a term most commonly used in aircraft and that's where almost everyone has head from it before. At the same time almost everyone should be fully aware that aircraft on autopilot do in fact need at least one human pilot. Almost all aircraft inevitably crash if left on autopilot with no further human interaction.

So where does this idea come from that the word "autopilot" somehow misleads people into believing that it does not require a human.
In a legal context I think whataboutism would be bringing up an example of someone who committed a similar crime but was not charged as evidence that someone should be acquitted. There's nothing wrong with analogy, it's when you bring up someone who might be guilty of malfeasance to excuse another instance of seeming malfeasance that it's whataboutism. It's not whataboutism when you bring up someone who did the same thing and was demonstrated not to have done anything wrong, which is what courts do.
Insights I found in the comments section:

> ...I went two years looking for a job. Eventually they stop looking at your apps because of how long your work gap is. It's like just fucking hire me so I do not have a gap but no...

> ...Often good applicants don't make it through the HR algorithms step. Knowing people at the company goes around that process and/or greatly increases the likelihood that your application (out of maybe hundreds) actually gets the attention of the hiring manager who doesn't really want to deal with the pile of apps...

> ...A lot of times too, large companies will let HR policy dictate their hiring too. So HR will dictate what goes in the job requirements...

> ...Many employers only post job opportunities as a courtesy, and generally already have someone to fill the position internally. Many employers also leave job postings on search sites for months after they’ve already been filled. This all alludes to there being a “workers market” when in reality, there isn’t...

Wow, I didn't realize that plastic production was 3 orders of magnitude different than emissions. That would likely make it seem much smaller.

I'd caution reading too much into the yearly rates because it's estimated that we already have produced and tossed 8 billion tons of plastic. This would all potentially be substrate to any bacterium that is able to digest it and could be freed to the atmosphere. This is still smaller than the yearly output of emissions but breaking it all down and releasing it would result in about a years worth of emissions.

I think the answer is still "yes" but it's not a concern.
Ignoring the possibility that people have different physiologies that react to these things differently: We’re not dealing with machines, we’re dealing with humans. If only 5% of people are capable of following the advice then we need to find a better method. It could be any number of things that need to be changed, but just telling people to do x and y the way we currently are clearly isn’t working.
> a sideswipe is almost certainly preferable for everyone than plowing head on at full speed.

I’m fairly sure this is not true. Modern cars have lots of energy-absorbing crumple zones in the front, plus airbags. Head-on is the most highly-optimized crash orientation. Side-swipes are I believe the worst case, because there is so little protection for the driver.
What a bunch of ridiculous doomsday porn. It's just silly.
Reading the abstract for the paper (thanks to skybrian for providing the link) it seems that the phrase "anti-aging vaccine" is a gross exaggeration in this context rather than the science itself being flawed.

Broadly, the abstract seems to be describing a particular cell-surface marker found to be associated with senescence ("seno-antigen") which can be targeted by a therapy ("genetic ablation") which accelerates removal of cells with that marker. Doing so improves the lifespan of mice so treated.

Thus, as the abstract concludes, "...vaccination targeting seno-antigens could be a potential strategy for new senolytic therapies."

> ECS is the application of relational databases in a dynamic real-time context with relatively modest amounts of data, but lots of sequential processing.

This is probably the best explanation that I can imagine -- that they're not fundamentally different, just that ECS tends to make a sufficiently different set of design choices that it warrants some of it's own terminology.

I can't help but wonder what a more generalized take on ECS might look like, if it were to continue drawing from relational databases. For example, support for multiple indices to assist with different query patterns. Or triggers to abstract away cascading updates. Or perhaps materialized views to keep query patterns simple.

I've never had the opportunity to use an ECS system, especially in a performance sensitive context, so I don't have a good sense of where any pain points are in practice versus what my imagination can conjure up.

I also wonder what it might look like to use SQL to generate an optimal C++ representation while keeping the data definition high level.

Just idle musings - maybe one day I'll take the time to experiment.

> supposed to be a sign for a coming recession. But I don't get why a lot of pundits say that it also mean deflation is coming and totally rule out a longer time of inflation

Inflation and deflation are tied to recessions because less economic activity, meaning lower demand for goods and services, leaves companies with surplus goods. To make up for the excess in supply and stimulate demand, they'll deflate the prices. At least that is conventional wisdom.

There are a lot of variables that go into bond rates (much more so the back end of the yeild curve); current central bank rates, expected central bank rates, inflation, credit, etc. In the investor pool you have a lot of different parties with different motivations; pensions, governments, corporates, short term traders etc. Add to these factors the insane amount of liquidity and changes to the yield curve do have some meaning.
One thing I've noticed about these quandaries: there's very little consideration for what one owes their society. Doing something in service to others may not bring an immediate 'happiness' but if you're looking for satisfaction in life, it's worth including in the balance equation.

And perhaps that's what the work you're doing can provide, if viewed from that perspective. Too many people seem to just automatically view work as soulless BS, to which I might suggest those people are simply in the wrong career.
The risks of someone my age having serious COVID issues are rather low. I am also fully vaxxed on Pfizer and don't have major underlying health issues. I'm perfectly accepting of the any personal risk because the risks are extremely low. In fact, I had COVID recently (kids caught it at school and brought it home), and my symptoms were very mild and didn't prevent me from working of functioning close to normal. Of course, we all followed proper quarantining guidelines and did not have contact outside of our home with anyone during that period.

If other people who are at higher risk have not chosen to appropriately mitigate their risks with the numerous tactics at their disposal, such as vaccination, masking, social distancing, etc. than I do not feel much of a duty to avoid being around them, if they are going to be at places I want to be.
