IBM Z systems are arguably the most holistic systems currently available, everything down to the silicon is designed in a coherent way. And yet, it is all incredibly proprietary.

Holistic systems don't prevent vendors from going mad with power. Competition and pressure to document their products does.

To me personally, the weirdest part about this whole story is Intel's response:

"Our proprietary UEFI code appears to have been leaked by a third party. We do not believe this exposes any new security vulnerabilities as we do not rely on obfuscation of information as a security measure. This code is covered under our bug bounty program within the Project Circuit Breaker campaign, and we encourage any researchers who may identify potential vulnerabilities to bring them our attention through this program. We are reaching out to both customers and the security research community to keep them informed of this situation." — Intel spokesperson.

It is almost as if they are expecting some major holes to exist and just per-emptively attempt to defuse it.
Their site links to their wiki:

https://arwiki.wiki/#/en/Arweave

This is how they describe their project:

"Arweave is a protocol that allows you to store data permanently, sustainably, with a single upfront fee."

This is economically impossible. That is the description of a pyramid scheme, a startup without a revenue model trying to make up for the fact that they're losing money on every customer by getting lots of customers, a business major who skipped math class, or all of the above.

Production audio and video recorders generate or intake an SMPTE timecode signal, and stamp recordings with this timecode.

This timecode format is a timestamp with seconds resolution plus a frame count within each second. To properly sync, all the timecode generators must use the same framerate. In other words, the audio recorder’s timecode framerate needs to match the camera.
Thank you! this largely agrees with the link I posted 7 hours ago.

Particularly relevant, is that if you want to collect in the US, you have to go to the courts in the US and show them the foreign judgment. There are many circumstances where these are not accepted.

Yes, European universities are quite cheap but the admissions bar is very high. The expectation is that university is a path for a narrow group rather than a credentialing path for everyone. The academic rigor of the incoming students is very high and there are almost no “party schools” populated 75% by idiots who skip class and get hammered.
Equality in opportunity and equality in outcome are two different things. Even that aside, asking for a baseline equality in living with dignity has nothing to do with diversity of species.

>The most robust ecosystems are those where you have the greatest diversity of species which correlates with inequality between them

I would love to know how you came to this conclusion. Different species occupy different niches when there is a robust ecosystem and there is nothing like inequality between them. There is symbiosis and inter-dependence, but I have not seen one species turn on other for "inequality".
It's fine to have many smaller CPUs in the system, for all the purposes you state. The software that runs on them needs to be open, though, and something we can understand, fix, or even replace completely as needed. The operation of the components also needs to be documented so that it's possible to do that not just in principle but in practice.

We've added several small cores of our own to the systems that make up the Oxide rack, but critically we can control them with our own (open source) software stack. The large scale host CPUs where hypervisor workloads live can communicate with those smaller cores (service processor, root of trust, etc) in constrained ways across security and responsibility based boundaries.

This functionality makes a lot more sense as an extension; it saves us the hassle of visiting/bookmarking a new site. It also saves you the hassle of building good search functionality, which is quite tricky for books if you are using titles and not ISBNs.

It doesn't, thats just a mirror and even then everyone just uses the cloudflare or ipfs.io gateway instead of actually using IPFS.

Dont get me wrong I like IPFS and would love to see increased usage but if a libgen mirror is the biggest example then we need to find more applications for it.
Ah, that tired old cliche. Basically every country on the planet is a "republic" (See People's Republic of China/etc, Islamic Republic of Iran, et al) and has a constitution. Your statement could be rephrased "America is a country". Turns out adjectives matter.

In any case, it doesn't really effect my first point, because whatever America's system of government is today, it's the same one as it was before.

To the actual point, all of these great projects for which we will be remembered by 25th century historians, ran over budget and over schedule, and we had people talk sh*t about them, and they got built anyway. Who remembers the naysayers (today it happens to be the Reagan/Trump Republicans, yesterday it was 'Whitey's on the moon')? Nobody. They are not memorable.

That said, as is always pointed out on HN, high-speed passenger rail doesn't make a lot of sense for this country at this point in time, it's a high-hanging fruit without that much juice. Better places to spend our billions.
Could you explain why VCs are involved in this token from an ICO?

I regard any crypto project, (including bitcoin) a scam especially if it is a VC pre-mined token.

There are other better technologies out there that already exists that works that doesn’t need to require the use a blockchain or have a token attached to it.
I love IPFS for some things. It's sort of not anonymous and it's nondeterministically slow in starting and keeping itself going. When it works, it's fantastic. I think an overlay fs on top of bittorrent (and adopting existing torrents) would've been more useful than reinventing the wheel and fragmenting. Torrents already have CBA and work.

It also has the problem of not enough people use it.
In what sense? Zero population growth, or incentivizing corporations to not congregate in only like six metro areas in the entire US or what?

My biggest regret was that I didn’t intervene in an argument between my mom and grandparents that ultimately led to a near estrangement between my mom and her family for several years that caused her a lot of pain.

It wasn’t my argument and not my “responsibility” per se, but I’m sure that I could have defused it, and I didn’t for reasons that seemed reasonable for 15 year old me.

Django is great, I've used it for many, many years until about 6 years ago.

The problem I find with Django is that it's a purely backend framework. The moment you want to use their highly outdated templating system it becomes evident it's from the 00s. It doesn't even handle assets bundling.

Laravel and Rails instead can be considered more "full stack" solutions, as both have really nice frontend stories too.

But Django is great if you want to build a backoffice with the Admin and django-rest-framework. That's how we used it back in the day anyways.
> ISPs and government agencies can't do anything because it's all anonymous and any individual person is sharing encrypted pieces of a file anyways.

It would need to be over Tor or similar, which is of course way slower. Otherwise there's nothing preventing "ISPs and government agencies" from going after people sharing copyrighted bits.
America is not relying on European work force for its productivity and GDP. It is relying on low wage tech outsourcing from non European countries.

https://georank.org/economy/germany/united-states (3.9T vs 20.5T)

https://georank.org/economy/china/united-states (13.6T vs 20.5T)

Also your original comment compared ‘Europe’ and not Germany or a specific country. The population of ‘Europe’ is roughly twice that of America.

Also: [..]The European Union's GDP was estimated to be around $17.9 trillion (nominal) in 2020, representing around one sixth of the global economy.[..]

Most of the tech sector relies on immigrant talent from places like India even though most stay on work visas without ever getting to enjoy the benefits they paid into the system.

If America were to follow European standards, then you’d think we’d be importing or outsourcing European labour. Oh wait! We don’t do that!

I’m guess what I am saying is that businesses feel they need the extra layers because software engineers today are generally terrible at translating the businesses requirements into a viable product.

But, I think it speaks to the general quality of the software engineers produced today more than in the past. 20+ years ago, I think software engineers were more talented and perhaps more capable of directly interfacing to the business without the middle men.

So it’s kind of what came first, the chicken or the egg.

In the 80s and 90s, I recall 9/10 pro devs were exceptional. Today, by my generous estimate, I’d say 2/10 would measure up to those folks I worked with back then.

Again, thats just my experience, but I am an old man nearing the end of my career who yells at those damn kids who keep playing on my lawn nowadays, so take it with a grain of salt.
Haha, that's pretty clever :) The intended point was more that the concept can be iterated upon. I think you'd be the last to claim Hubris ought to be the end-all-be-all of holistic operating systems.

That's a weird challenge. What do you want a citation for?

What he did was a political analysis. So while he could provide citations to political scientists who said similar things that wouldn't make the true necessarily.

The "citation needed" only works if you want to assess the premises, so do you want a citation for racism being/having been more widespread or for Europe having had a antisemitism problem?
You are on the right track; there is nothing difficult here but merely a bunch of moving parts to keep track of and understanding how they interact with each other. The SO articles i linked to earlier are very relevant and you should follow other links from their pages.

That said there is one other crucial point to keep in mind when calling C++ from C. Using "extern C" for function declarations informs the C++ compiler to emit code to C ABI conventions so it can be called from C code. But what about data structures which you might pass and use between C++-land and C-land? They have to follow strict "POD" criteria for compatible memory layouts. See for example - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49407290/memory-layout-d...

The client can set the timestamp to any value of its choice. It does not have to correspond to clock time.

It's not about all writes. It's about ensuring that all writes to a single partition (specifically, a single column within a single partition) are done using a source of monotonic integers to ensure ordering.

It's one of those dumb human antipatterns like racism, sexism, and most other legitimately bad -isms: pick attribute A and make that undesirable while making attribute B desirable. Perhaps in Indian and Western schools alike, they should consider the (in)famous eye color discrimination exercise to give a glimpse of how horrible it is. Comfortable, sheltered children tend to grow up to be ignorant adults bordering on clueless. It's only when someone has experienced what it feels like can they grow a modicum of empathy or sympathy.

Not necessarily. You can also take the road that the first AGI would be middling and that its impact would be relatively limited. That's the overall direction I'm taking with a subset of AGI-themed short stories I'm currently writing (each exploring a different unexpected limitation).

Either way, it's science fiction, the number of science fiction stories that successfully predicted anything about the future is dismal, but they're a lot of fun nonetheless.
It helps a lot that you are working with server-style computing, where you can realistically do this.

Things like audio and radio functions (eg bluetooth and wifi) have algorithms that are very proprietary and often patent-encumbered. The hardware architectures for radios are also similarly weird and proprietary. That kind of thing would result in a binary blob (at best) in a fully-open-source environment.

Hot take: I don't mind if Dolby or a wifi chipset vendor hides their software from me as long as it has very strict definitions for its role and a very narrow I/O interface.
Ah. So there's no dire need for Apple to improve Mach's performance.

But that's good, right?... Economists tend to say that if you want to solve a social problem, the least disruptive way of doing it is just giving them money. It usually has better outcomes and much less side effects than trying to contort the society into a complicated shape that fixes the same problem, and breaks a dozen invisible things in the process.

UPDATE: I found it; here's the very nice core of his new WASI implementation -- https://github.com/taybenlor/runno/blob/main/packages/wasi-m...

Original comment below:

Isn't this file in your code a big part of the implementing the WASI standard?

[1] https://github.com/taybenlor/runno/blob/main/packages/wasi/s...

I ask because you didn't write that. I was excited that you said " I went through and implemented the whole standard in TypeScript" since I have been working on that same code [1] as the core of this npm package https://www.npmjs.com/package/wasi-js
and I've found some subtle bugs in it. I was excited to find another implementation to compare, so maybe you also did something else? Thanks!

This is a very exciting space and I greatly appreciate your work.
