Sounds great, maybe I should take a look at zig. Rust feels too much like a data processing language instead of a systems language.

Quick glance at Zig, it supports the kind of metaprogramming I always wanted in C++! Looks like regular code but guarantees to not typecheck the paths that can't be taken. Also has reflection! And since generic types are created like any other struct, you can write that metaprogramming like normal code as well!

If it works as advertised then you could implement your own type constraints and type checking as regular code for those types, I always wanted to do that. Then I can implement compile time type constraints and type checking to see what the type supports and pick implementation based on that, or throw an error if the interface is passed some invalid type etc. This should make the code ultimately safer than even rust if you master this style of coding as you can move so much checking to compile time.

What are the main problems with the language? This sounds great, just wanna hear what the drawbacks are.
There is no way you can expect a non-technical user to understand the full implications of a prompt like that.
Or rather, how do you tell that's what is happening? How do you distinguish buzzing with delight, as described int he article, from buzzing due to hyperactivity from excessive energy levels?

> A better UX should be "I'm sending this image instead of this one, because of fingerprinting. Are you OK with that? Yes, No send the original image this time."

I'm presuming you want the browser to somehow detect whether the garbage image data ends up in a POST request? I don't see how you can implement that in a reliable way, considering there are dozens of ways to go from canvas data to a POST request.
What happens is this rather quickly means a lot of startups (70%?) are going to rather quickly admit that their ‘5 year long term product vision’ they’ve been trying to sell and are ‘almost there’ on launching is not actually going to happen because not enough folks are willing to pay for it, and/or another company already ate their lunch.

Which is… harsh.

"The Mom Test" is an awesome look at that -- how bad questions and worse feedback leads to a lot of wasted effort. Highly recommend it. http://momtestbook.com/

Good. I hope we get out of this by focusing on building businesses that actually make profits instead of, you know, play musical chairs with exit liquidity.
> If you ask the question "what will happen if I ignore this policy", and the answer is not "I will get a pay cut" or "I will get fired," then the policy in question isn't actually a policy. It's just a suggestion.

I like to phrase this as "never think you need permission to do a good job", but it's ever so true.

I guess that's why they have a explicit policy of prohibiting browser fingerprinting in all their ad business.

Seems like projection when you can always just confront what I'm saying. I didn't write much, but you are just avoiding it and restating part of what you said before.

Also do you realize you are accusing people of "bad faith" when you replied to someone and said "I'm sure they're just waiting for their fiat shill check form Soros.".
The point of regulatory capture is that regulatory hell is actually good for the established businesses in an industry. Sure it costs them money to comply, but the regulatory hell keeps new entrants out of the market completely, so the protection from competition is well worth the price.

You're using the past tense, but even today they're fractured. 24% of white evangelical protestants are pro-choice; 60% of white (not evangelical) protestants are pro choice, and 66% of black protestants are pro-choice.

If we narrow consideration to just white evangelical protestants, a 24% / 74% split is clearly a strong trend against abortion. Even so, 1 in 4 is by no means rare.

I originally wrote a detailed response to this, but instead I’ll just say this:

It’s one thing to limit the scope of your project. cURL is trying to support every de facto and de jure standard out there, your project doesn’t have to. A lot of tail-end features have very diminishing returns. My own projects don’t do it either.

But it’s something entirely else if you just close the issues as WONTFIX, claim they’re not part of a standard (until you’re proven wrong), then claim it’s not used in the real world (it is, otherwise cURL wouldn’t implement it), then verbally attack users who point out that you’re not supporting it.

Just accept it, acknowledge that you’re not supporting it and that it’s not part of your scope. Own your faults, just be honest.

I’ve got far more persistent and far more annoying users complaining about missing features in Quasseldroid on every release or post for the past decade, but that’s no reason to get angry with them.
Here's one that's already making the rounds - Wuhan Institute of Virology was experimenting with constructing monkeypox virus last year: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1995820X2...

Meanwhile apparently on Chinese social media the claim is that the US released it intentionally: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10845749/Conspiracy...

Aaaand their basis for that is remarkably similar to Event 201, a simulation about a coronavirus pandemic that happened in 2019, that originated in bats ( https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/scenario.ht... ).
>telling someone to keep their story to themselves unless they can present an argument that satisfies a scientific standard

I don't see where they made this claim, or a reference to a 'scientific standard'. Can you please point to it?
Thanks for the link, however, that seems to speak to someone who only put one name on their Indian passport, and the US government puts FNU or LNU. In my wife's case, nothing is forgotten or left out. She has only one name. Her Indonesian passport only has the one name. She'd have to choose to have a new name given to her (not a family name, since it doesn't exist in her village/family), and that would not be a last name either. Then change her Indonesian passport and all of her Indonesian documentation with the new added name, and THEN come back to the US after re-applying for a VISA with the newly added name.
> ...until the situation in Eastern Europe normalizes and the supply chains normalize after COVID.

They won't "normalize" though (imho), as the reason is not really COVID anymore, it is China gaining ground and trying to do as much damage to the western economy as possible.
Because what you are saying is the default situation in research. Students don't speak up, because they are taught to keep their heads down whether they are right or wrong. The default assumption is that the supervisors know what they are doing, but this student has shared his experience that this is not always the case. Maybe you should start considering that maybe supervisors are wrong sometimes too?
Think of rich people as the thin layer on top of a larger tide. They won’t stop, but the level they are at will change, and it won’t be higher than it was. Many of them will be changing strategies too.
The legal system has failure modes that are just as easily exploitable, but humans can intervene and reverse the failure, make people whole, etc.

The problem with smart contracts isn't that there are bugs, but that buggy results are final with little to no recourse, by design, unless you get everyone to agree to hard fork the chain (rolling the "bad" transactions back and eplacing the buggy contract) and/or the implementation (if the bug was in the platform rather than the contract).

The legal system has a similar principle of not being liable for conduct that predates a ruling or law that forbids it, but it also has the principle of agreements being interpreted according to common sense understanding by a person with ordinary skill, and where skill differences exist between them the non-expert's interpretation is the one given precedence.

These meta rules don't have equivalents in smart contract systems, which makes them brittle. The only way smart contracts end up being used for non-trivial purposes is if they are made explicitly subordinate to the existing legal infrastructure in ways that will gum up the works, or if smart contracts are subject to mandatory formal verification possibly including game theoretic 2nd order effects.
The citizens of Russia could vote out or overthrow their leader. The goal of sanctions isn't indiscriminate pain, it is to incur a cost for bad behavior and encourage people to stop it. I think cutting off technology services to a country fighting a war of aggression against its neighbor is better than most alternative methods of retaliation.

Not just like. The article says as much. Bat consciousness would be different from human consciousness, in part they use echolocation to navigate. Insects would be even more different, if they are conscious. Consciousness being some subjective experience of self and the world. Seeing color, feeling pain, being something more than an automaton with an inner life. That subjectivity could be alien to us. Or it could be similar in some ways and very different in others. A cat isn't going to experience the world quite the same as we do, but they are mammals and more closely related than bees.
I can't help feeling that consciousness and more generally an "internal world" arise in a gradual manner as the brain gets more complex.

Unfortunately it seems like an impossibly hard nut to crack...
was it due to the core or a plugin?
This is intended in a constructive way, so I apologize if it comes off harsh.

Many of the complaints in this post betray an attitude of someone who has recently graduated from undergraduate, is very smart, but has little experience in the professional working world.

In the future, you will encounter the exact same issues in the professional world - even amplified in some cases. Unless you want to quit every job you find, you will eventually learn the game, as most professionals do.

Primary complaints:

1. No orientation, guidance

Most jobs have minimal orientation and you can expect a fairly halfhearted orientation from peers. There will be nothing even close to an undergraduate course teaching you to do your job. For senior/managerial jobs there will be absolutely zero orientation, and there may be even be attempts by politically-minded peers/superiors to confuse you about your work responsibilities.

2. Work is 'performative'

This is widespread at startups, corporations, and government. Much of the work we do as professionals is performative or geared towards meeting OKRs and having a whiz-bang presentation to senior leaders at the end of the year.

This is not ill-intentioned. Every leader wants their org to get the resources that the company has, and must compete to impress the senior leadership. Perception is reality, and you want your work, and your people, to be perceived well.

3. Chasing low hanging fruit / Work is not important enough

Nobody is working on the exact thing they dream of, unless they are a billionaire and bankroll their own spaceX. The reason someone pays you to work is because they don't want to be doing it.

Your work will never feel important enough unless you are part of a very lucky and elite group of people who most likely have a massive financial stake in the work.

4. PhD as a gatekeeper

This is no different from any job. You have to prove yourself before they let you fly the airplane. It is just how it works. It sucks when you feel 'ready' for higher aspirations and nobody will let you move forward.

You are smart and motivated and want to do good work. The biggest challenge you will face in your career is this feeling you are feeling right now. There will always be a feeling of institutional inertia that holds you back. This will be ever-present for your entire life.

The real test of your abilities as a professional is the ability to withstand it and keep finding ways to get traction under your tires when they are spinning in the mud.

Forget about the exploit itself. Why are people trusting two young nobodies (Day and Kellar of Indexed Finance) with so much money in the first place? Ok, so Day has some decent academic credentials, but he's just one person. Who was doing risk analysis? Which independent experts analyzed their algorithms? Which accounting firm audited them? Where's the oversight? These two guys whipped something up, threw it out in the wild, and the masses fed tens or hundreds of millions of dollars into it without a care in the world.

This is how crypto operates. Buyer beware.
Tesla should be banned from enabling FSD until they can prove to the relevant authorities that it's safe. Have the CEO survive riding with FSD without a manual override for a year and maybe we can let them drive on regular streets.

Not telling people but incarcerating them, and one of those "natural states" can't even hold a candle to the other in terms of risk.

Or are we now switching up "natural" to mean how what we take into our bodies differs from our ancestors at various times in the past? Then compared to the amount of microplastics, PFAS, etc. a modern human anywhere on the planet consumes (inhales, absorbs) a couple of vaccine shots strikes me as truly insignificant.

Could be. But then any smart contract system needs to acknowledge this overarching law, and give it "super user access", if you will.

And these systems could exist. But they are not the systems that are being designed. They are in fact antithetical to the stated goals of all of these cryptocurrencies and smart contract systems.

YCombinator is echoing the same sentiment:

I've heard of VCs at all stages opting to sit out for a quarter or two to see how things shake up before resuming any deals. It was suggested that fundraising right now could take 9-12 months -- 1-2 quarters for folks to sit on the sidelines, and then another 1-2 quarters to kickstart their best deals. Plan accordingly.
The underlying issue is that online political or social discourse isn't so much as discourse as much as the virtual form of people trying to fit in socially - people use political/social issues to signal what kind of person they are (or more accurately, what kind of person they want everyone else to think they are), in order to feel like they are part of a community.

Once you understand the online social media through this lens, everything is easily explained, from how people converse and decide to ostracize people who don't agree right from the get go, to how websites are designed to drive user engagement.
None of the recent advice on the topic mention 'having a profitable business model'. Raising money is not the method, it is a method to extend your runway. Designing a sustainable business is another one.

Wasn't the Turkish Bayraktar drone also involved in the sinking of Moskva?

Not to rain on the "feel-good" parade, but Moskva was laid down in 1976 and launched in 1979. It was older than most people on HackerNews. Don't treat it as bleeding edge technology.
That really doesn't answer the question. (I'm not sure what it really means either, it's a good question.)
> WW1

It's discussed in detail in the two volume set "Winged Mars" by Cuneo. The crux is being able to see where the enemy was weak, and you could deny the enemy seeing where you were strong. That's what the focus (pun intended) of the air war in WW1 was all about.

> Even in WW2

Not in the books I read about WW2. See the battle of Pearl Harbor, Midway, etc. Air power ended the U-Boot threat. The Battle of the Bulge was over for the Wehrmacht the moment the weather cleared and the Air Force could fly. The destruction of the German oil fields was decisive for the Allied victory. See the Battle of Britain - Hitler abandoned plans to invade Britain, knowing he could not do so without air supremacy. Eisenhower knew that D-Day would not work unless the Luftwaffe was suppressed. Air power ended Rommel's campaign in Africa (cut off the Afrika Korp's supplies).
OP here -- something I didn't touch on is that this is really common when a company transitions from early-stage to mid stage. The operations of a small company and the operations of a mid size company (and the operations of a large company) are completely different. The problems start to happen there is a mismatch between what you are and what you think you are. If you implement big-company practices for a small startup, you're often going to be overburdening the team and losing agility. When you are a med/large company but operating like a small company, you'll see chaos and inefficiency. Part of the problem is that there's no clear line. Observant engineering and product leaders tend to have an intuition for when practices need to change... I think team size and revenue/contract size (for B2B) are good heuristics. But more often than not, it's a stumble through the transition and folks feel the pain before figuring out the solution.

It's "zero trust". I.e. no-one from Pareto Security, nor anyone from your company can access or track any of your Macs.

The only thing that the local agent running on a Mac does, is sending a list of failing checks every now and then. It does not allow any centralized pushing of configuration, no tracking, no remote access, nada.
> I always thought this was anthropomorphism. I have dogs and I thought dogs more just “are” rather than self aware.

I'd consider it more from the perspective of Occam's razor and prior probabilities. You have a brain, you are alive, you have goals, make plans, learn, perceive the world, make predictions about the behaviour of other agents, and eat food. You are also conscious.

My default assumption would be that anything else that does the former things would also have the latter trait, until I encounter some particular evidence that they don't.
PhD programs exist to create new faculty members at other institutions. Other people hiring PhDs is a side benefit that has nothing to do with the purpose of the programs.
I think airflow ends up creating as many problems as it solves and kind of warps future development patterns/designs into its black hole when it wouldn't otherwise be the natural choice. There's the sort of promise of network effects -- "well of course it's better if /everything/ is represented and executed within the DAG of DAGs, right?" -- but it ends up being the case that the inherent problems it creates plus the externalities of using airflow for the wrong use cases start to compound, especially as the org grows.

I think it slowly ends up being sort of isomorphic to the set of problems that sharing database access across service and ownership boundaries has, and my view is increasingly of the "convince me this can't be an RPC call, please" camp, and when it really can't (for throughput reasons, for example), "ok, how about this big S3 bucket as the interface, with object notification on writes?"
Web 3 is going great!

My most common use for `dd` is using it with `sudo` to direct the output of a unprivileged pipeline to a root-owned file. Instead of running `echo hello >/root/test.txt`, which will fail, I use `echo hello | sudo dd of=/root/test.txt`.

With regard to consciousness, humanity is alone and unique on planet earth, and perhaps the entire galaxy. This is so evident that it is pointless to debate.

This article haphazardly and sophomorically suggests that maybe we aren't so self important, and explicitly suggests that humanity should be elbowed out of some "decision making".

The cows and bugs, however, are not capable of making decisions, and cannot be part of the decision making process. It is logically impossible to "elbow" humans out.

I suspect that in reality, humans will elbow other humans out, under the guise of "you (I mean, we) are a lesser species, and we're all in this together, and so this decision that I'm making is really in your (oops, I mean our) best interest." For a deeper understanding of this point, look to "The Abolition of Man" by CS Lewis.

I don't care if insect protein becomes an additional source of sustinence.

I very much care if someone "decides" that some food is "too harmful" to "sustainability" and that it needs to be "regulated" for the benefit of humanity. I doubt that anyone has the capacity to be able to make such a decision, and will (intentionally or not) create an Animal Farm type scenario.
