> Is this just to complements Podman's existing security posture

To my understanding, yes. You can run Podman containers as non-root, but containers often have their own network namespace which would require root privileges to create without slirp4netns. I don't believe there are really practical reasons to use it beyond that pretty big one. It does (used to?) incur some performance hit even (but only at some multi-gb rate and even then only a fractional penalty IIRC). e: I was thinking about rootlesskit here, which is somehow combined with slirp4netns in some cases.

I remember looking into Pasta a while back when I wanted to get client-ip-addresses in a container and the current Podman implementation for user-networks obscures that value. I think this might fix that along with IPv6 and other improvements.

This isn’t necessarily the full picture.

Whenever I see efficiency gains, I tend to look for reductions in materials utilizations, and sometimes I might find a case for environmentalism (on some axis).

I work in the technical area that enables flexible solar panels to exist at large volume (replacing energy intensive rigid glass with flexible barrier films). The manufactures of these headsets note that it allows for a larger volume reduction in batteries when integrated across 100,000s units compared to the addition of the panel itself.

Also, the technology supports the global supply chain to continue to lower the cost of PV which is good for the environment.

An eventual goal is the ability to quickly unroll massive installations of PV on rooftops that are as durable as the roof itself.

> I can write web apps that are fast

Yeah, this is what's worrying me. If you look at rerun.io website, you will notice that it's built with Next.js, i.e. is using a React framework to build pages that have no interactivity whatsoever. Next.js is used for the blog, despite it being just a collection of simple static html pages. Meanwhile, the user has to download around 200kB of javascript for no reason whatsoever; and the only reward that they get for their trouble is an avalanche of javascript errors in the browser console [0].

Is the Rust/wasm future going to look like that?

> That's a rather naive view of truth.

I'm a puzzled by the confidence here. I would assume pg is at least minimally familiar with some of the key philosophical themes and schools of thought around this topic.

> For intuitionistic mathematics ... truth is a mental construct of a proof in a language, and only shared by communicating that construct to other minds.

Even assuming you are fully and accurately representing the intuitionist view, you must be aware that there are competing schools of thought with strong pedigrees, like mathematical platonism, that are grounded in a more realist view of mathematical objects.

PG didn't go so far as to stake out that position here in the essay, but his thought experiment leverages a view of mathematical truth that hues closer to this (platonist) camp.

> The question is whether we can communicate our mathematics to non-humans ...

That is an interesting question, but pg did not ask that question in the essay, and its answer doesn't seem relevant to the point he was trying to make.

Were they? I thought WWI happened in the midst of first huge wave of globalization - to the point that no one thought war was possible, as it would mean collapse of international trade, and huge losses that come with it.

I certainly will - thank you! This meeting was pretty relaxed and certainly not of the "thumper" category, but it just... hard to explain, but, wasn't for me. I may expand my horizons and try a couple of different places out but almost every meeting I've attended I got the vibe that 90% of them were there just to "hear themselves talk" or collect another few witty quotes to add to their repertoire. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just gets old and didn't feel beneficial to me over spending that time doing an intensely physical and mentally stimulating activity like BJJ.
Indeed. Intelligent alien life is likely to have evolved out of other forms of life, so concepts as competition, survival, cooperation, are likely to be innate somehow (not necessarily in a conscious way). AI does not need to share that basis at all.

Not really it does not. We differ on the definition of wiz: you mean one that knows really well how the hardware works, in this context I mean someone that knows how to "program" a computer. This is why I used the very generic word "wiz" and not software engineer. I mean being generally proficient, and he said he is not.

Motion sickness in VR is essentially a solved problem for stationary experiences. The headsets framerate and tracking is good to create a believable simulation of a 3D virtual space and walking around that space feels no different than walking around a real space.

Where VR still has issues with motion sickness is whenever you move away from that stationary experience. Most normal games want you to run around, dodge, jump, etc. That doesn't translate well for VR and that's where the motion sickness comes in. When the visuals move around, but your body does not, that creates a disconnect and motion sickness. Games playing on a TV can get away with it, since the TV is only a small rectangle in your field of view, but VR is all encompassing, so that doesn't work that well.

There is a good chance that will never be fully solved, but that's not a VR specific problem, but a problem that the real world has just the same, boats and cars still make lots of people sick. The solution is to simply not play those games that require more motion than you can take. And for getting around without visual motion, we already have teleport locomotion in VR, that just zaps you right to where you want to go without having to slowly travel there.

The entire fucking concept of intellectual property and copyright is flawed from the get go. The issue people are wrestling with beneath the surface is not copyright but the monetary system itself which incentivizes this "chisel off one another" behavior and "MINE!" behavior because otherwise how will you survive if you can't monetize your actions?, but intelligent socioeconomic alternatives exist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBIdk-fgCeQ

People are trying to solve this problem in an ass-backwards way. Either move to universal basic income or a resource-based economy and make all ideas 'free', 'copyable' and 'remixable' since it doesn't matter either way you have access to some resources (in UBI) or all resources for free (in resource based economy) and don't need to monetize anything since you have access to everything...instead people are content with making life shittier.

"We stand on the shoulders of giants" said Newton, but oh no.. this piece of paper called 'the law' knows better!
Surely the difference is that if you find something via Google/search you can then read any copyright notice to determine whether the code is OK to use for your use case (no joke if you're a corporate developer). If you're using Copilot to "generate" (but sometimes regurgitate?) code then AFAIK Copilot doesn't show you the copyright notices or any indication of whether what it is giving you is a "fair use" derivative or a copyright violation exact copy regurgitation.
The article definitely discusses COVID because it is a big driver behind this drop in life expectancy but it also talks about other causes of death that have increased in frequency that contributed to this change, and other causes of death that have actually decreased in frequency (but not enough to offset). Overall I found this to be a good article. I don't see how the title can be clickbait if it it contains an interesting data point that is expanded upon well in the article.
Real wood, none of that glued together reconstituted shit regular peasant devs use.
I worked in healthcare where our EMR went into downtime for two hours on daylight transition days. It was extremely disruptive as we had to switch to a paper process for that time period that needed to get reconciled with the EMR at the end of the shift.

Unless you have a dedicated team doing that, preventative reboots and various “workarounds” sound great on paper for administrators but make for a shitty experience for people doing the actual work.

I agree there, and I think most rational people would too.

The beauty of thinking about other civilizations is it provides a due balance for materialist views, where instead of a universal truth, the question becomes what values and principles would be sufficient for us to co-exist with more (and less) advanced beings without respective reduction to foodstuffs, pets, or slavery.

To a more advanced civilization, we are chimpanzees who are both outwardly intelligent, but also tremendously dangerous, and so on what basis could they establish trust with us, or could we establish trust with a civilization of others? As Graham notes, math is one indicator that we are capable of apprehending the universe around us, but given the infinity of life and its necessary physical conditions of beginning and ending, and evolving in aggregate using tools and principles, it's not sufficient. Maybe one way to ensure trust is to share DNA, so that we become each other and we are all "us" - or, perhaps the Girardian mimetic concept generalizes such that it is better to preserve our differences so that we are not competitors for the same resources, and so that we can co-exist with an obvious other but without an existential threat or intrinsic power struggles.

Are there existing moral or philosophical systems that are suited to this problem? Probably, I'm not a religious scholar, but the golden thread that links them seems pretty consistent in attempting to derive alignment to an external truth. The proto-Christian tribe of Essenes, from whom John the Baptist originates and who was the one who baptized Jesus into what became Christianity (solving a weird bootstrapping problem, imo) espoused the values that became the first Church, so there is a historiographical way of looking at moral systems instead of as dogma. Outside religion, in the search for these values that would be suitable for a community of inhabitants, I've come to suspect this is what freemasonry is about, and while not about aliens, I was impressed by their allegorical emphasis on tools instead of doctrine as the landmarks for discovery.

The essential question to me is, once you have accepted there is an other that is greater, or a place that is elsewhere, does it matter whether it's a dude with a beard, multi-armed flying blue people, or an ineffable oneness? That there is a concievable elsewhere beyond your current limits, there must therefore be some point or idea to align and orient yourself to so as to be able to relate to the other beings who have discovered the same point outside our current perspective.

It's all very meta, but it implies a logical and even rational case for some guidance or alignment to this otherness to navigate our present, and that isn't material. The value of the idea of an "alien" truth is it is a means to reconcile secular rational thinking and moralism with universal, essential, or spiritual values, and that could be a very useful tool.

You can use partial patterns in Rust too. I think perhaps you meant partial matches?
> There is of course some legitimate worry that the Rust crate ecosystem could devolve into the crazy left-pad world of npm, and it is something to be wary about, but so far the Rust crates keep an overall high quality.

Note that the particular case of left-pad cannot happen with crates.io/cargo, because once published, you cannot unpublish a crate. You can 'yank' it, in which case it will not be resolved by Cargo.toml, but if you put it in Cargo.lock directly (IIUC) it will still work. So we can't have someone pulling a crate and crashing half the ecosystem.

We can however still have lots of other problems that plague all package management systems. Check out `cargo-crev`!!!! It's an awesome idea I'm always plugging to solve the lack of trust in an open library repository. It requires people to participate though.

The difference between Meta and MS is that Office was already universally used (or dominant) and essential to business when the public started griping about Gates. Meta makes a VR product no one needs (yet? Ever?) and has essentially no adoption.

Interesting. I haven't used Redacted, but was an avid user of Oink's Pink Palace, the OG music tracker. Ratio requirements were to partially to encourage people to upload stuff. The site was defined by the number (and quality) of uploads it had. If you upload a 24-bit FLAC yourself, you are guaranteed at-least its file-size added to your ratio. Seed-boxes were pretty much accepted as a requirement if you didn't want to upload anything. i.e. each user was expected to contribute in some way.

That said, things are probably different nowadays. In Oink's day everyone was on ADSL at home. Was paying €20 a month for a 100/100 OVH box; today I have 1000/100 at home and can instead spend that €20 on Spotify and Bandcamp.

This appears to be using the PIV "smartcard" applet.

I believe one option on each certificate in the PIV applet is whether or not a "button press" is required for its use. I believe it is recommended that the device attestation certificate at least is not guarded by the button press.

The threat model for yubikeys is to prevent the key being cloned - if it's in your pocket, it's safe. If you plug it in, and authenticate by PIN to the PIV applet, and push the button when prompted, someone may be able to generate a signature.
