Thanks!

The increased memory overhead would seem to be a problem, but in the programs I work on at least (games, web servers, compilers), the vast majority of references in a program are owning references which aren't fat pointers. Non-owning references are very short-lived and on the stack, so the memory overhead shouldn be pretty minor in practice.

Also, if we want to save a little more space, we can reduce the generations to 32 bits (we're leaning this way in fact, as it opens the door to some interesting other features).

A bygone era. I have fond memories of going to similar building sites/factories in north west England, 4-5 years old with my old man before I was old enough to go to school. Sitting on the wheel arch at the back of a rusty old van amongst loose tools/building materials bouncing around, being taken up some rickety scaffolding being told stay away from the edge, careful on the ladder, passing tools while my old man worked stood on stacked milk crates several floors up.

Today that’d never happen and you’d be sat in front of a judge. 30-40+ years ago where certainly different times in working class nw England. Maybe it’s because I grew up in it but looking back, back then it seems work was work, not pushing Jira tickets, one on ones, 360 degrees, agile, navigating office politics just to get shit done.

I can see where you're coming from, but I have pretty bad news, which is that the last line just doesn't match reality, at least not in the United States. It might make sense in theory, but it just isn't true:

> Market makers provide value; scalpers rent seek.

In the United States, event tickets are functionally a monopoly. In practice, Ticketmaster/Live Nation is a rent-seeking market maker which crushes small events and blocks value from being created.

Here's a deep dive on that, just under 20 minutes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_Y7uqqEFnY

This doesn't mean that scalpers can't also be rent-seekers, but given that scalpers are highly competitive and Ticketmaster is a monopoly, I think the scalpers aren't in a position to seek rent.

This part has a similar flaw:

> someone has used a bot to scoop them up at superhuman speeds... that doesn't feel exactly like the moral equivalent of other forms of arbitrage.

High-speed trading is all about bots and arbitrage. This isn't the first time those two things have been combined. There are corners of New York where they're practically synonymous.

This one has factual issues also:

> The bands want the tickets to go to the fans at no higher than the price the venue sets.

It's only true of _some_ bands. There's evidence (in that deep dive video) that Justin Bieber has probably scalped tickets to his own shows, at scale.

I'm not saying that if Justin Bieber does it, it automatically can't be scummy. That seems like a very very hard argument to make. I'm a musician and I would not want to have that kind of relationship with my fans (if I had any, beyond a few repeat listeners on Spotify).

I'm just saying, there's a lot in this comment which makes intuitive sense but doesn't actually line up with the reality of the situation.
It's not about math. It's about responsibility, both in the case of ownership and in the case of people depending on you.

You asserted that he has a moral right to destroy the company because he built it. He might have built it, but it doesn't matter if he now owns 54% or 90% or 10% of it, it stopped being just his. He can't just say "screw it, I'm bored, let's just burn it down to the ground".

That responsibility is even greater when it comes to the people who depend on you, who put their livelihood in their hands because they believe in your company. Not necessarily in you, but certainly in what you created.

Let me put it this way: if you knew that the person in charge of company X is a volatile, irresponsible person incapable of putting the good of the company before their own ego, someone who doesn't care enough for the company, would you go work for that company?

Musk's behavior is damaging the company. His employees are objecting to that, among other things. They are right to do so.

As for whether he has the moral right to fire his employees indiscriminately solely by virtue of having created the company? No, he doesn't, for the same reasons I described above.

Does he have the right to fire his employees for the right reasons? Of course, but that's not the case here. That's what I was pointing out when you asserted that he certainly has the right to fire them just because he built the company.

And the whole un-edited leaked all hands video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLvTcRrzy20

As for the source of this leak, it is quite frankly beyond pointless to deny this leaked video and where Vox and the other media outlets got the transcript(s) from and we can directly verify it with that video and Elon seems to agree that the recorded video meeting is real as he was clearly there.

Furthermore, I have also not seen a clear and straight refutation or denial of any of the previous Twitter leaks when I question anyone if it is faked or not. It is always ends with dodging the question, attacking the messenger instead of refuting the leaked video, or whining about Elon.

> I can't find a single thing he said that any reasonable person should consider truly offensive or disturbing once taken in context, which is not what I expected based on the hand-wringing comments in other threads here.

I think there are lots of extremely angry folks in the HN hivemind that someone goes and purchases Twitter because they can, and all they can do is scream, and complain. The board accepted it and it seems the proposals to change Twitter could be for their own good.

After looking at the full all hands meeting leak, I don't see anything offensive or alarming that Elon said that would be problematic.

I am very confident none of my friends are actively selling the data I give them to anyone. 3) Even if one of them did, they would only have access to the data they were given, not all of my data I have ever given to everyone else.

> "It" is the gender neutral singular pronoun, "they" is plural.

Not exactly. "They" is not commonly recognized as singlular. While "they" has occasionally been used as a singular in certain instances for at least 700 years, those cases are generally isolated and are considered poor uses of the language.

"It" and "one" are both third-person personal pronouns that are gender neutral. "It" is far from the only gender neutral singular pronoun.

> EG, when someone calls, or is at the door, people often ask "Who is it?"

"Who" is an interrogative pronoun in your sentence, "who is it?" Who is gender neutral but does not have the power to be singular or plural, since it is interrogative.

Just had a thought. I wonder if Vala would of been better off as just a project adding GLib support to D and just maintaining that link. Vala is amazing at what it does but then you get an even richer language in my opinion to work on top off with less overhead. Not to knock on Vala I appreciate it for what it is. It is also the main reason why ElementaryOS has some amazing applications out of the box.
I’d follow the money as opposed to some study.

Social media isn’t a boogeyman responsible for everything but it is a critical channel to influence. My mom gets bombarded with crazy tales of Joe Biden taking gasoline away, etc. I get lots of crazy dramatic fundraising requests from EFF, broadband advocates, etc.

It’s real and it works.
Yep, I'm with you. I'm generally pretty loose on letting people enjoy their vices, but I think it's also reasonable for society to protect people who might be preyed upon by others through their vices.

For example, heroin is notoriously destructive and addictive. I'm cool with outlawing it. But something like marijuana is not nearly as destructive and addictive, so I'd rather legalize it.

Gambling can be addictive, but people enjoy it, so it should be legal. However, I think it's appropriate to ban certain predatory gambling practices.
> Even basic income is really about putting the managers of such a scheme at the centre of it.

You are probably right. But...

But if, as a side effect, it materially increases the number of people who are really able to choose what they do with their lives, and gives them more time to do it, it will be progress.

It is worth keeping in mind that all funding actions are inefficient in one way or another. Most government actions are no more than 40 percent efficient, and real policymakers are aware of this fact and make decisions in its light. In the private sector, a CFO told me many years ago that no more than one in three investments works out.

If half of the money allocated for a universal basic income is wasted on needless "management" makework, provided that there is no actual obstruction or perversion of its universality, such a scheme would be doing well as well as doing good.

It would be the most progress seen since the vacuum cleaner, the refrigerator, the washing machine, and the electric stove made choices possible for millions of people.

What if they don't "hop on" and "visit"?

For example, humans seem to be at a point where corporations are trying to automate everything - what if some alien civilization figured out automation was the way to go as far as colonization and what if they figured this out say, 20 million years ago and so didn't care if it took a million or 2 or 5 million years to "get here" via some automation that is beyond our ability as humans to perceive?
When I first read the Three Body Problem series, a lot of it, like the Dark Forest theory etc seemed a bit off, and I tried hard to retcon some of the assumptions being made about physics and biology etc into something that actually made sense.

Then I read Ball Lightning, and had the revelation of "Oh shit, this dude actually has zero comprehension of how physics works". Then I felt silly for all the energy I spent trying to make any of it make sense. All his books are a ton of fun, and lots of imaginative concepts, but it really is all just for fun, and not really realistic at all. The whole 12 dimensional deflation concept shook me for months, and Dark Forest Theory is a really cool concept, and totally valid in certain environments, but almost certainly not in our galaxy at this point in time.

> For as awesome as Earth is, it doesn't have any unobtainium some hyper advanced species couldn't find elsewhere.

Yeah, I'd imagine that even if a hyper-advanced civilization did stop by, they'd probably just harvest a bunch of hydrogen from Jupiter to refuel their spacecraft, and be on their way. Earth has some of the least interesting resources in the solar system.

Most importantly, environments with plentiful resources that explode with life tend to develop a robust ecosystem of symbiosis and mutual dependence. The only time "Dark Forest" type ecosystems emerge is when resources are insanely restrictive, like deserts etc. As far as we can tell, our galaxy is teeming with resources that no one has really started mining at scale. Even if we did bump into some other expanding civilization, there's approximately zero chance of anyone getting boxed into a corner that would lead to conflict. We would just keep expanding in some other direction.

It's not just single systems.

It's clusters. It's datacentres. It's tools which span the globe. Or extend into space.

The Web by default is now transacted over HTTPS. This means that every session requires a TLS handshake:

- Client hello

- Server hello + key

- Client key exchange.

- Server finished.

- Client finished.

- Data transfer begins.

That's six exchanges, and three round trips. For an antipodal set of hosts, at 300ms per trip, that's nearly 2 seconds just to set up a session. If you're communicating with a Moon base, it's eight seconds.

And if you're using a tool or protocol which presumes cheap or fast round-trips, and uses a lot of round trips, you may find it's unusable.

Some years back a multi-campus site rolled out a remote-console tool that worked across platforms in datacentres --- we had both Linux and Windows hosts.

Working locally with the DC one building over in the campus, or even with a facility elsewhere in the province, performance was laggier than local, but tolerable. The team operating out of Dubai was waiting five minutes to see login screens presented.

I'm kind of glad this didn't happen . It might have been nice if there was a performance boost, but it would have taken years for 4 to get to the level of trust 3 has, and possibly caused confusion for devs.

At this point sqlite3 is basically like UTF-8 or even ASCII. It will be there in basically any decent language. It's the default choice of embedded database.

Having 2 versions might de facto deprecate sqlite3 in some environments. There might be transition issues. And people would wonder if there will be a sqlite5.

The one thing I would have liked to see, is a sqlite-like database that operates on folders instead of files, and is optimized for being used in a modern multidevice environment, where files can't be efficiently modified, just overwritten, you don't have locking, you might want to version control things, and you want to reuse filenames if possible to avoid cluttering sync indexes with tombstones.

Other than that, sqlite3 seems to be good enough.

There was an "Undecided with Matt Ferrell" on YT some weeks back that mentioned a dumb version of it somebody at a university promoted.

That one had the winch and motor / generator at the sea floor, and a big rack of floats. It was, of course, too expensive. This is a common feature of energy storage ideas: people seem to love to promote the most stupidly expensive version of a good idea, and then give up when it is shot down for that.

Certainly, any scheme where you put complicated electromechanical stuff on the sea floor, it will be expensive. And likewise, where the expensive part is only usable with one "unit" of storage. Or anyway it just costs too much or needs perfect weather or something. (E.g., Energy Vault (NRGV) is stupid and their investors will lose their shirts.)

But there is usually a simple variation that lacks these problems.
