Work. Especially something that needs my full attention and that prevents me from checking out the news.
They wont be reading this. Russia is informationally closed and now it became crime to spread "disinformation about war". This would likely fall in that category (regardless of whether true or not).

Also, Russian soldiers are dying too. It is fair to guess they are more likely to die then become POW.
> More than half the country voted to align with russia.

Zelenskyy was elected president in 2019 with 73.2% of the votes.

Do you actually believe yourself or do you know you are lying?
As a Ukrainian in the US, I am not scared of that. I am scared for the people over there. Hell, I am scared for the 19 year old Russian conscripts that were marched into Ukraine under what seems to be like false pretenses. Those kids and actual children hiding in basements and subways there are all really truly scared. The women being raped there are scared and I am scared for them.

But the nuclear attacks don’t scare me at this point. Best coping mechanism: stop lying to yourself that you must stay informed. Block your favorite news sites and focus on a project instead. Unless you want to get on a plane and go over there to fight (which the Ukrainian MOD has made an option for anyone who wants to [1]), what is your being informed actually doing for anyone at this point? If it is detrimental to your mental health trust me you should turn off the news and take care of yourself. Again, as someone whose home town is currently being shelled I think you should do that. Go create something useful in the world instead. That’s the right answer.

People repost all kinds of very old videos and "flip" the teams on social media (either on purpose or accidentally), so I am amazed that I didn't see yet smaller bits taken out of context from this video to cause even bigger panic.

He’s had several other wars. In a way it’s kind of weird how everyone lost their mind over this one but not the others.
Maybe social media is the difference, maybe the fear that’s plan was for more then Ukraine. Not sure.

> The problem record and replay is expansions of languages and apis too. That is a good thing for some things but it needs to be reworded sometimes too and implementations of things aren't always newer versions of things either.

Changes to languages and APIs can be a problem to record/replay depending on exactly how they're implemented.

Undo's core tech, rr (and, arguably, GDB's built in record/replay) operate at the level of machine instructions and operating system calls, so changes to language and library behaviours don't generally affect us, outside of a few corner cases.

When you have that, you don't need to even know what the language is in order to operate - though if you want source-level debugging then it does matter as you have to be able to map from "your program counter is here" to "you're at this source line".

We occasionally need to add support for new system calls but an advantage of Linux is that the kernel ABI is very stable. New extensions to CPU instruction set also require work - these can be harder to support but they change more slowly.

Of course, operating at such a low level level isn't the only way to record/replay - there are distinct costs and benefits to operating at a higher level in the stack.

Thank goodness a US President is weighing in on this catastrophe of
our time. There's no doubt in my mind that a combination of
smartphones, social media, overuse of technology in schools and a
surveillance society is having a devastating effect on the mental
health of young people.

We are doing this to ourselves. Camille Paglia interviewed in the Wall
Street Journal characterised "command and control systems in
education" as the mechanism by which "a civilisation commits suicide".

I think it was Sherry Turkle who characterised what we're doing as
"digital child abuse" (a phrase I've used too [1])

It is possible to build Humane Technology [2] if as technologists we
treat people as _ends_ and stop treating people as _means_ to our own

I have a very rough plan of where I'd move if things started to look really bad. That's the only thing under my control.
Impending doom has always been hanging over your head. The moment you were conceived/born you were destined to die.

Any day you could be in, e.g., a car crash that ends your life.

Just because you learned of another way that your Earthly existence could end does change the situation.

Congrats for the dead simple creativity!
Right.

At some level I'm afraid I think to myself: well my existence is a tiny cosmological insignificance, I cannot control that it is going to end at some point, and there's a significant likelihood it'll end in considerable suffering or in a way I can't predict.

It's hard to maintain that train of thought in the face of fear and I have little self-assurance that I'd manage it in more severe circumstances, but it is part of the process I use to deal with intrusive dark thoughts.

Every day in Ukraine there are people walking out in front of heavy mobile armaments with a single, hand-made incendiary, or just to stand in the way and demand that men with guns leave.

And every one of those people is making this rationalisation, at some level.

Stoics seek out likeminded friends, as well, I think. In this most recent case, more or less an entire country of them.

I thought that at first but the truth is that x86 and ARM are stuck in a certain mindset, their instruction sets are so complicated it is impossible to mix compressed and uncompressed instructions. Once you consider compression then RISC-V is on average slightly denser than x86. Compression will be everywhere by default.

The only really janky part is the fusion of more than 3 instructions. Now that is insane. However, it is like energy storage for renewables. Once you have an electric grid that can store days worth of energy that's actually extremely amazing. The old way of doing things will be viewed as something cavemen or barbarians did. If macro op fusion scales beyond 3 instructions then RISC V will easily beat other architectures because 2 is the limit for every other architecture.
> I sympathize with people that are not pro regime but ultimately even those tax dollars they may generate go to the regime.

So you're forcing everyone with all these Russian .ru domains to buy new services at new registrars, which will generate way way more tax dollars for the Russian government.

Several thoughts:

First, there's a Tiktok meme about how if you're having trouble coping just talk to a GenXer. There is some truth to this. Anyone GenX or older grew up with the imminent threat of thermonuclear war as just part of your existence.

Second, if there happens to be nuclear war we're all completely hosed so in a way it doesn't really matter. A huge chunk of us won't survive the initial attacks. Many of the rest won't survive the period thereafter and I have to imagine that an awful lot of people will... opt out... at that point too. It's a bit like worrying about if the plane you're on is going to crash. You probably won't be around to deal with it.

Third, it's kind of amazing how close we've already come to this already. Let me introduce you to Vasily Arkhipov [1]. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, US destroyers were detonating depth charges to get Soviet nuclear submarines to surface and leave. Those onboard were cutoff from communication with Moscow and didn't know if nuclear war had begun. The command structure was that 3 key officers needed to unaminously agree to fire their nuclear missiles. Two of them voted to launch. One, Arkhipov, refused. Were it not for this one person's vote, the world would've ended in 1962.

The Cuban Missile Crisis is still of relevance today, actually. The US precipitated that crisis (by deploying nuclear weapons to Turkey) and Kennedy's recklessness almost precipitated nuclear war. For 200 years the US has had the Monroe Doctrine [2]:

> It held that any intervention in the political affairs of the Americas by foreign powers was a potentially hostile act against the U.S.

Under this doctrine, Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba was unacceptable. Yet we're somehow shocked that Russia finds (and has explicitly stated) that NATO, being a hostile or potentially hostile (from Russia's perspective) military alliance with nuclear capabilities, on their doorstep was (understandably) unacceptable.

It's also worth mentioning Stanislav Petrov [3] who overruled an early warning system that had falsely detected a US nuclear launch in 1983.

Anyway, so I guess my point is you don't really have any control over the outcome so there's not much point worrying about it.

I can think of a scenario where self preservation does not work: one of these sh_theads have cancer and only have X days to live.
To be honest the last couple of months I was more worried about the slow but inevitable demise of humanity by making this world uninhabitable; so it just shifted time-wise.
I don't really like the fact a nuclear warhead can end my life and I am afraid this end might be swift but not instantaneous. I am too far from any interesting target for an immediate wipe-out. I think I am in the 3-weeks-of-pain zone but that depends on the payload size and location of the nuke. Maybe I get to roam the planet like in the Fallout franchise.

I am a fun guy but I am a bit too realistic for some...

> impending doom that's hanging over our heads?

The conflict is localized to parts of Ukraine. There is no impending doom as long as NATO does not directly intervene. And I simply don't see Biden or Johnson sacrificing American and British cities for the sake of Ukraine.

To their credit, the US administration has been fairly calm given the circumstances. It is the European leaders that have been issuing belligerent statements and walking them back. They keep using the term "war" when referring to their actions against Russia.
> Even the craziest shitheads like the Taliban and North Korea won’t do it.

Never base military decisions on what the enemy would do, rather than what they could do.

Granted, your personal coping approach is not such a decision, but the maxim still stands.

Moreover, you can’t foresee what Russia’s position will be in 10 years from now. They might not use the A-bomb right now in this war, but who knows what ten years of paranoia and relentless sanctions could do to the leadership and the population.

* The first one doesn't hire me after several interviews because they are looking someone more skilled in the cloud security.

* The second one offered me a consulting job, but I cannot accept due to my actual work contract

* The third one offered me a job, but I am going to refuse for several reasons (taxes, geopolitical situation, etc.).

* Another one contacted me, asking to submit the resume on their website, but they never call me back.
That is actually the most re-assuring answer, thanks.
PS5 is the best experience? Who said that?

I get the same reaction. Makes me think if it isn't the current zeitgeist mindset of continuous and constant growth seeping into scientific evaluation by laypeople.

Science doesn't need to constantly grow into all directions it has achieved at the same time, it's not a market competition. I feel that sometimes it gets evaluated as such by some media vehicles...
You're going to die, no matter what. Humanity is not unlocking immortality anytime soon, and if they do, it's not for us plebs, and even if we had immortality, heat death of the universe is happening anyway.

So you are going to die no matter what. Tomorrow in a nuke strike, next week in a car crash, month from now from aneurysm, ten years from now in famines due to climate change, twenty years from now in heart attack? What does it matter how and when?

Some people are saying "we shouldn't stand up to Putin because that might be the end of the world". But is a world where someone like that can do whatever they want really world worth saving?

Despair is the correct reaction, but despair is the natural state of the world.

(But some people told me I'm not ok, so you know.)
This paper from a couple of weeks ago suggested that neurons may learn as part of maximizing their energy efficiency. Which suggests that each neuron learns on its own, but also helps neurons by giving some feedback. I don't think it fully answered how that feedback happens (backprop or multiple forward passes), but it may be of interest to you nonetheless.

Right. There is an insidious notion that 'knowing'is 'doing'. Slacktivism, as it was once called.

Much as an idea has no value, while an implementation might, engagement does not equate with amelioration.
I’m assuming you’re not in Ukraine. If not, take a moment to think of the people over there. They’ve had a war dropped on them out of nowhere, and the men have to leave their families to fight. Lots have never even fired a gun and are now risking their lives, terrified. Be glad you’re not them and get on with things. For you things are likely safe and secure and there isn’t a lot you can do in case of a still incredibly unlikely nuclear attack anyway.
Interesting. However:

> Seriously, who wants to compete against people who have a gazillion HNS that they got for free?

Or you can buy it off of them, just like you do anywhere else if you were too late to buy say, pets.com, nba.eth or .ftx/ which were all 'squatted and flipped' today. No different here and neither system aimed to totally prevent squatters, flippers and rent seekers. Because you cannot and you know that.

> Then add in the fact that it’s a judgement proof blockchain and you’ve got a system that’s awesome for squatters, flippers, and rent seekers while being terrible for real businesses that want to build real value.

Are you going to say all of that to the Russian users on Namecheap who are getting their domains de-platformed? [0] Perhaps we loved .org getting into the hands of a private-equity firm didn't we? [1] or even the .io [2] and other TLDs price increases. [3]. All thanks to ICANN, right?

At least to some extent with either ENS or Handshake a registrar can't 'de-platform' the whole TLD nor can it be seized by anyone; nor can a government request to de-root an entire TLD. [4]

> How do I stop someone from typo squatting or violating my trademarks?

As I said before, nobody can stop that and anyone who has a popular online business knows that.

Even when you take them down, more typo squatters take its place. It happens everywhere. There will always be typo squatters even after trademark violations, unless you buy the domains off of them.

> I’m always surprised by the number of people that want lawlessness.

Lawlessness? I wonder how those 'criminals' can really cover their tracks by owning several domains on a public blockchain. /s

If you want true lawlessness, use Tor and scrambled .onion links followed by messaging apps like Signal with E2EE and sending private untraceable cryptocurrencies on encrypted blockchains like MobileCoin. It's what all the extremists and criminals use to fund their activities and lawlessness without a trace and no transparency.

My way of approaching this is optimizing for survival. Getting a go bag, planning what to do when the sirens start going off. I understand there would be about 15 minute advance warning. I'm in central London, which if of course bad. But there is a strategy - to go to the Tube (underground trains) and then after the hit, use the tunnels to reach the outskirts of the city.

People are a lot more prone to editing than writing. PR nits, architecture diagrams, product briefs, etc. Everyone will weigh in and hopefully make things better, but very few people are willing to start from a blank canvas.
If you're saying that we should allow individuals and companies to create their own identity policies free from government oversight, then we should allow individuals and companies to discriminate any way they want. Don't want to hire blacks, gays or Jews? Allowed. To be honest, there is a legitimate argument that this type of discrimination would be better handled through the free market. But I doubt the people who support Asian discrimination in academia would support this.

At the organisation where I worked at in the UK, all interviews were panel interviews - it's not ideal in various ways but it does it harder for discrimination (not just racial discrimination) to slip through the net - obviously just because something is illegal doesn't mean that it can't happen and people can't get away with it. I think they also tried to make sure all panels had a woman on them for example - I ended up on more than my share of panels as a result.
