This is the most challenging transition with tech in terms of the outcomes and the difficulty defining just what this trend is.

Cybernetics is* ~insertion of a governance layer into our social contract that we didn't agree to relinquish our agency to... It just sort of happened, and we deal with the outcomes. The more disconcerting aspect to me is the latter. Suddenly, QR codes everywhere, good luck getting around without a smart phone, if that driverless car sideswipes you and doesn't stop, call someone I guess?

If this area/trend interests you, there is a lot of reading available from the weird (CCRU, early Nick Land) to the fairly mechanical/academic (MIT, Norbert Wiener), to the openly behavioral governance-themed (Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab, B.J. Fogg), to adversarial-to-tech (The Cybernetic Hypothesis).

* so-so definition of the space, but its the best I can sum it up.
"Old, mechanical film cameras are much more pleasant to use for me."

Me too! The big ker-chunk on my Pentax 6x7 or my Nikon F2 is very satisfying. I also don't mind the weight of either one. Granted, I don't take these cameras hiking. I actually prefer having a little heft to keep things steady.
From the US Department of Energy. You can get emissions numbers per Kw for each location. You can get miles per KW for most EVs. From that you can calculate emissions per mile for an EV. Which is a number you can get for most standard gas engines. Then you can compare.

But actually, I probably should have said "highly efficient ICE or hybrid" rather than reasonably efficient. It's been a while since I ran those numbers and the piece of info my brain stored was "Don't get an EV until I can charge it from solar". Either way, my overall point stands - EVs don't actually lead to the major emissions cuts advertised in most real world scenarios.
Your input is appreciated. But to anyone not using JS on a daily basis, the above reads as a blur of detail, rather than a clear, actionable message about to do about the overall situation.

So I'd be curious to know if you have a holistic response to primary claim made by the post, which is:

The fundamental problem with npm is that any package you install has full access to do whatever it wants on your computer.
It’s why one needs both. You need both undeniable productivity by quantitative metrics, as well as glowing reviews from independent panels that are not influenced by favoritism (almost like an audit).
I like vscode + remote ssh a lot, but one thing to be aware of is that the node server that it installs on the remote can be a bit memory hungry if you're on a small machine (i.e., low-end droplet or vps). One of the rsync or sftp remote adapters is much nicer to such environments.
Because it justifies their actions. Would we be quoting him if he didn't murder innocent people?
It won't be competitive as lifestyle of China is growing. Its unfortunate that we can't have good stuff without exploitation (in today's context). I hope we can make leaps in manufacturing, so people from Asian country like India aren't exploited for shiny things like iPhone.

I believe same thing happened with Japan. As Japan grew rich, market in China started look attractive. And now, India is looking attractive. Looks like this vicious cycle will continue forever, as there will always be country with lax on human rights.
I'm not sure if you know this, but you do realize that pretty much every decision NATO takes has to be unanimous, right? Even as little decisions as "do we want this PDW caliber or that PDW caliber as a [non-binding] NATO standard?" can be blocked by a single member (Germany, in this case).
I'm definitely team emacs -nw, but I use the same tmux setup. Tmux's ability to reconnect to a session after disconnect is definitely it's killer feature.
It's because a large number of new entrants, all started within a similar time window having seen the same market opportunity, are going to start flying soon. While demand for small launch may be growing, payloads are not multiplying at the same rate as launchers. And this is not a surprise; everyone knows there's no way the market supports 100 small launch companies. They just hope to be one of the several who will survive.
This is in fact incredibly wrong. At least in my field, there is so much more data than there are qualified experts to analyze it. For one reason, academia pays so much less than the private sphere that post docs are leaving.
My company is in the middle of a multi year transition from selfhosting atlassian products to using their cloud offerings, and I am sure the infrastructure team/management is very thrilled to see this news.
Perforce has to be one of the worst pieces of software I've ever encountered. Every perforce shop I go to treats perforce like a disk or san with little to do with versioning or software development. Find me a perforce instance that doesn't have gigabytes or terabytes of binary data. You can't... it's become a catch all for everything.

One shop I was at that's fairly well known had multiple fedora and centos RPM repos checked in. Compiled versions of Linux from version 2 to 5, silverlight exe's, pdf's, hundreds of excel files, what I had a hard time finding was actual source code.

I couldn't think of two better pieces of software to go die together.
We're fans of webrtc-rs, but interop considerations pretty much mean that building on top of libwebrtc is necessary for our client libraries for now.

Thanks for linking that.

The purpose of each episode is for anyone to walk away having a reasonable understanding of why and how a company built and deployed their app with XYZ technologies without needing to know anything up front. There's over 100 different companies / individuals who were on the show.

I tried to make it as efficient as possible to get these details. There's a lot more detail than a few bullet points but it doesn't get super lost in the woods with a million low level details that's specific to 1 company. It's basically an hour or 2 conversation for each episode where we cover everything from building to deploying their app, lessons learned, etc..
I had a very wrong impression about what sort of books Vonnegut writes, and I've discovered that I'm very much not the only one.

If you haven't read him because the titles and the descriptions sound heavy, they really aren't. You're thinking Dostoevsky or Nietzsche but he's closer to Mark Twain.
This is the same kind of defense C programmers make regarding their beloved footguns.

That might be true in aggregate, but the exceptions are exceptionally bad, impact a lot of people, and then fools try to rationalize the footgun on HN.
Perhaps, but I talk more in strategical terms than tactical ones: surely China gov. can order a general massacre of Shanghai peoples and that might succeed in tactical terms. But they can't hide it. They have power but they have rivals and people, so the news of such event will travel far more than the Tian'anmen massacre. The bigger the initially repressed unrest the faster and spread the news will be. At that point dictators are already dead: they have lost their people faith and no new narrative to calm them can be easily forged.

That's why if the initial movement is large/fast/resolute/extreme enough at start they can materially repress them but they can't strategically do so, in that case their best option is a compromise and some head to blame, that might not solve the issue but make time, time usable to forge other truth and divert/disperse the rioters by their own choice.

The issue with "Liberty or Death!" is more in "generic people vs emerging new leaders", generic people might accept big sacrifice for big promises but for a short period of time. You can't tell a crowd "we will fight and loose for a decade, BUT thanks to that struggle in the next decade we will win" almost no one will follow. So you have to deceive the crowd pushing some "expendable" to the extreme to gain a position useful for others. That's why IMVHO no "revolution" was really done from the people but from the middle class witch use the mass of peoples to revolt against the élite in power. That's why I say that Marxist are not much more "for the people" than the nazi, they promise power but in Marxism power never goes down to the people while the vast and divided middle class is erased. That's the mechanism that kill the Mensheviks making the Bolsheviks rise. That's why the SA was killed by SS in nazi German etc. BUT there are situation when a flock stampede, in those moments no one can stop the riot. Some cowboys might mass shooting cows for our life but if cows are enough they'll run out of ammo before the end of the stampede, mass hunger is a thing that makes such event...
Hey luca, I assume you are familiar with Mark’s extensive work on capability based security for ES?
A distinction is made between being idle and napping, but are the researchers sure they aren't just resting? When I work outside on hot days I often take breaks in the shade where I just sit and stare. I'm not hungry or thirsty and it's not time to clean up yet, but I need a break.

>The median adult spent ~27% of their waking time doing nothing

20-30% idleness sounds like a perfect description of the cumulative break time I take on days that are mostly manual labor.

Maybe the researchers should've just asked them directly.
Am totally buying that. Thanks!
Let me go out on a limb. Carbon trading of some kind has been a popular policy since the 1980s. In fact it's almost completely substituted for any real action.

If there really was going to be some justice for people's crimes in this life in the next I'd suggest that William Nordhaus might, looking back 1000 years from now, be seen as the most evil person in history.

https://theconversation.com/nobel-prize-winning-economics-of...

You might assign 100 million or so deaths to the communist and fascist movements, but a real climate crisis could kill 10x or 50x that.

Nordhaus brought climate change into the space of neoliberalism and promoted the idea that trading carbon credits could fix it.

If we go down this road in 30 years people are going to be saying "we need an all-of-the-above approach... it could have a HUGE impact ... give it a little time."
Has anyone followed Smolensky’s Harmonium approach? I think it is so cool that “goodness of fit” was based on “harmony”…
Not an military expert so please correct my analysis.

But if Finland joins NATO, Sweden either must yield to RU or join NATO itself.

The key here is Sweden's the island of Gotland sitting at the middle of the Baltic sea.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Gotland/@58.8670134,17.054...

In most scenarios it would serve as a most advantageous base for RU operations, including serving as an unsinkable airplane carrier / missile platform.

If SWE was the only non-NATO country in Northern Europe it would be quite open for an attack.

In case RU decided to invade Gotland from it's base in Kaliningrad, there is very little anyone could do to stop it.

The current conflict has taught that NATO forces will not engage with RU forces. If FI joins NATO, it effectively blocks FI from helping SWE to defend itself.

Basically, if FI joins NATO Gotland is open for picking for RU.
Many C libraries are maintained by a single person, too. But C/C++ programming has no equivalent to the Node culture of making trivial releases, so every single update to a C package gets quite a bit of attention from its users.

Usage of foreign hard currency in these countries (like Argentina) is usually heavily taxed and hard to get by. Bitcoin and other cryptos are easier to use.
But driverless cars do not go through the same requirements as aviation.

Before an airplane goes into circulation, it has gone through extremely rigorous testing. An airplane also always has a pilot.

The same can't be said for driverless cars. They don't go through extreme rigorous testing, they don't have a driver, and they're controlled by software that is most likely a far cry from aviation standards.

I am pretty sure Libya was never a NATO member. I am pretty sure you too are talking about different things. Grandparent was talking about difficulty of measuring the upside of joining NATO while you are talking about the more easily measurable downsides. There is no contradiction here.

September 2021 was 7 years into the war that started with the 2014 invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

It does not count as a time when Russia was not a threat.

Yes, NATO conducted trainings with Ukraine during the ongoing war started by Russia.
Reality adapting to software (instead of the other way around) seems to be more and more common. Just today, my local library sent out email informing users that, while they agree that they shouldn't charge late fees for non-work days, the software company they use doesn't want to introduce such feature into the software, so they have no way but to charge for those days.
(Reposting a comment I posted a few days ago.)

There's a few reasons that NPM sees more attacks than other ecosystems.

First, the scale of the JavaScript ecosystem. JavaScript is so much larger than every other ecosystem, so even a very small probability event (somebody introducing malware into a package) can happen surprisingly often given the scale of the ecosystem. Supply chain attacks are a problem in all open source ecosystems – not just JS – but they are a bit rarer and don't effect as many people so fewer people take note.

Second, npm was one of the first package managers to solve the classic "dependency hell" problem. In Python, if you have two dependencies, A and B, which both depend on different versions of C, say C@1.0.0 and C@2.0.0, respectively, then you're in trouble. You have an broken project. Python can only install one version of C. So now you're in dependency hell.

Npm on the other hand just installs both versions of C and it gives A the version that it wants, C@1.0.0. And it gives B the version that it wants, C@2.0.0. Both packages are happy - problem solved.

This caused Python maintainers to think twice before adding a new dependency lest they cause "dependency hell" for their users. Much better to just copy paste these 50 lines of code rather than adding a dependency. So there was an intrinsic sort of resistance – some pain is involved in adding new dependencies.

Npm maintainers had no such constraints. In a way, npm’s better developer experience led to the whole module ecosystem scaling "too well". Thus, you end up needing to trust more total maintainers, increasing the risk of supply chain attacks.

Kind of a moot point though. You can't really stop anyone from doing anything, the best we can do in a free society is create laws that deter undesirable behavior.
Your comment misplaced.

Before Russian annexation, Crimea where part of Ukraine, but they have large level of autonomy, they could make their regulations on languages, on culture.

Sure, Crimea authorities have to consider, that unlike Nazi Russia, Ukraine is really multinational country, so Crimea have to build Ukrainian language schools, and Crimean Tatar language schools, not only Russian language schools.

Very similar thing could happen with Taiwan. - Now it have autonomy, but China authorities want to assimilate Taiwan, to make it much more Chinese and much less Western.

Before China assimilated Tibet, and also China make bad things in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and adequate people don't want for these things to spread to Taiwan.

>There is no upside to appeasing Putin anymore.

The upside is to avoid nuclear war. Believe it or not, prior to the Russian invasion, the Ukrainian peoples wanted peace, too. Joining NATO wouldn't have done so.

The idea that disputes between countries all over the map should lead to NATO involvement is dangerous. It's astounding how so many people don't seem to understand this. Of course, if you say, "How would we react?" it's "whataboutism".
It was a NATO mission, but based on a UN resolution. The UN has asked the NATO multiple times in the last few decades to lead military missions.
Closing as not reproducible. We haven't heard back from any of the testers that have tried to reproduce it.

already on a bad start with this attitude, rust communities are very sectarian, this has to change

rust compiler takes an eternity to compile, this alone makes it non cloud native friendly, imagine having to wait hours for your tests to compile and run in order to deploy a major bugfix to your microservices

Don't change it to "None", though. That's just a curse for your grandchildren to deal with when Python eventually becomes the new old legacy system.

> Phones aren't making big leaps anymore, it's not worth keeping up with.

Couldn’t be farther from the truth. Apple has never been about revolutionary change after revolutionary change every year, but the iterative improvements do make big leaps over time. For iPhones, the cameras and photo quality improve a lot at least once every two or three years. It’s because you don’t care that you don’t know about the leaps, not the other way around.

The indigenous group whose land I'm on rn are the Cahuila. In Cahuila culture the doctors/shamans were basically botanists. They would claim certain patches of land where a particular plant was growing and study it for many years and everyone respected that and would avoid foraging that plant. There was a lot of knowledge built up, some of which was only passed down to people in their lineage or the apprentices that would study under them. Their folk taxonomy had a name for every species of oak that modern botany names. Which is an incredible feat in that area especially since those oak species hybridize very readily

Similar aspects of cultures can be seen across the world. Like with variolation techniques in China

And:

>Separately, Bank of Canada Deputy Governor Toni Gravelle said the steps needed to mitigate the effects of global warming would lead to massive restructuring and the risk that some parts of the economy would shrink.

>"Asset values across the financial system could be subject to sharp declines in valuation, which might generate credit and market losses, and it might increase the stress on the financial system," he told a climate panel in Toronto.

>When top, public facing companies like Jet blue or Microsoft buy carbon offsets, they don’t want to get scammed.

Don't they benefit from the status quo? It's not the companies that get scammed, it's the people who select the cheap "offset my carbon footprint" option when getting a plane ticket and pay for JetBlue to transfer that money to some scammy offsetting service. JetBlue gets good PR for contributing to "carbon offsetting programs" on behalf of customers - which are cheap enough because the market is not heavily regulated.

I don't trust international corporations to do anything but optimize to make more money.

If this is what really happened then yes they should be punished. No questions. But it was most likely a mistake anyways. It happens often enough. Ukraine shot down Siberia Airlines Flight 1812. It then tried to deny etc. etc. The US shot down Iran Air Flight 655 and had also tried to cover it up and after being cornered had never apologized.

Objectivity in journalism is awareness of biases, not a lack of them.

An example of poor objectivity is corporate media not disclosing that they don't report potentially damaging information about companies because they share parent companies, the owning and operating families are closely tied with the outlets, or they share members across boards.

Another example would be showing that they're perfectly capable of critical reporting of a presidency but not applying that neutrality to all presidencies.
