I think you're missing my point. I don't mind that they switched to a subscription service, I fucking hate being lied to. Given that they eventually came around to grandfathering the purchasers (who I guess had to go click a button somewhere), they obviously knew they were wrong on that front.

Don't sell products then change them afterwards. I paid for a thing. Then they made it so that the thing I purchased required more payment indefinitely. That's bullshit.
Look closer.
Or use IOCP on Windows or kqueue on FreeBSD. IOCP is particularly interesting as it will interact with the scheduler and release more threads if ones get blocked, trying to right-size CPU usage.
> you have to use multiple rings and do everything else yourself

Since you are supposed to use liburing, not the kernel interface directly, I guess somebody could add multithreading "support" to it.

Or at least add documentation/examples of the most common/performant options: https://github.com/shuveb/loti/issues/4

AFAIR Windows IOCP handles multithreading by:

- Handling locking at kernel level, the syscall is thread safe

- Making it LIFO, to keep things in the same threads, to have a decent cache behaviour.

It's as simple as it gets.
Danger is not a moral judgement, but a rational one. Iranian nuclear scientists weren't assassinated for no reason, and I highly doubt anyone involved had serious moral accusation to make against them. The U.S. also banned export of cryptography in the past (and still does in some cases), solely based on strategic grounds, not because mathematicians are "bad people". People in positions of or close to power and/or possessing certain knowledge are dangerous, not because they are necessarily morally repugnant, but because of their privilege and ability.

> Corning’s importance in the early days of the internet is pretty amazing and I think not very well known

After the fiber optics, they repeated the performance with the Gorilla Glass. See, we don’t understand it anymore today but having glass screens on “smartphones” was a revolution - we didn’t do touchscreens earlier because screens were plastic, like in the Palm Pilot; they were plastic because people pushed insensitively, people did that because the touch wasn’t sensitive at all (cursor would always land at the wrong place, or not be sensed at all).

What Corning built for Apple was a glass screen, almost unbreakable, and thin enough to have an amazing touch resolution.

"Self enforced limits" could also be an attempt to avoid formal governmental regulation.

The maturity of CS as an industry is still in it's infancy compared to other engineering disciplines. I'm sure if you went back to the 1880s, five or six decades after the start of industrial revolution, there was very little limitation on the design of mechanical equipment. Now, there are all kinds of industry standards and government regulations. We could lament how much this stifles progress, but we're generally not even cognizant of the amount of risk it has reduced. For example, most people don't give a second thought to the idea of their water heater being capable of blowing up their house because it happens so infrequently.
I think people will adapt by finally doing the thing they should have been doing all along: don't trust anything they see on the internet.

Maybe a flood of AI-generated propaganda is what it will finally take to get the average person to realize that the internet is (and always has been) overflowing with manipulative garbage made by people with bad intentions. So maybe the next time they see a video of <political opponent> kicking a puppy in the face, their first thought will be "maybe this video is fake?" rather than instant outrage.

I think most people aren't gullible/naive, but for some reason that part of their brain that protects them from being exploited/manipulated/ripped off/tricked/etc completely shuts down whenever the internet is involved. Maybe increased exposure can change that?

I stopped reading at the 3rd paragraph. Not that the article was bad. But that it took me to a difficult place[1], where I had to consider the "what if" scenarios that I dreaded.

It sounds like this happened around the same time as our experience. What I recall of my experience, I went into sort of a relentlessly optimistic support guy. Suppressing everything I was thinking and worrying about, so as to take care of my family.

Our outcome was different. My wife of 31+ years is sitting a mere 1 meter from me on our couch, watching a TV show with our 22 year old daughter (12 at the time of the event). She is officially a survivor.

I've commented to my therapist that there really doesn't seem to be much support for families/spouses for survivors. This was a tremendously traumatic experience, that I only started addressing last year. Vocalizing your fears is hard, after you've buried them for so long to support your family.

I'm sure this is a good article. I just can't read beyond where I went. Likewise, the last episode of "How I met your mother" hit me very hard (1 scene, barely 30 seconds). I've never been able to complete that.

Its not that I can't watch/read these things, its that it resonates uncomfortably with my own experiences, and I don't wish to experience that discomfort if at all possible.

Aren't people allowed to release source code on free speech grounds? There's not much difference. One could publish a model with its weights, and that would qualify as free speech.
I understand where you are coming from, but in my case having anything be auto-installed is just a pain. My distro of choice is NixOS where installing stuff works fundamentally different from most other distros. When I tried it, lsp-mode just wasn't aware of it (not sure if it does now, but considering this space is vast, it is simply impossible to support every distro out there). Which means automated installation simply didn't work and I had to spend lot of time finding issues. For Emacs newbie it was a terrible pain.

Compared to that, I was done setting up Eglot + language server in 2 minutes flat, there was no config needed and it Just Worked!
For watching filesystem events FreeBSD's kqueue is much more difficult to use correctly though, and in my experience it certainly doesn't outperform inotify.

inotify (and now, fanotify) are specifically designed to watch for filesystem events, whereas kqueue is a generic event system used for many things. In many ways that's better, but it this lack of specialisation also comes with some drawbacks.
Yes, they are obligated because that's what a lifetime subscription means even if they added snotty fine print in a EULA.
That’s really more of a business development question, and I’m truthfully much better at writing copy than running my business. Also, I’m unusual in that I get all my clients through word of mouth.

I stand out from the competition because I have technical writing skills most of them don’t have, and I’ve maintained a stable workload by developing a reputation for high quality, fast turn times, never missing deadlines or typos, and being easy to work with.

My suggestion to someone just starting out is to pump out content of the type you want to sell. Publish it on your social networks under your own name and ask your friends and colleagues to read/ share it.

Edit: BTW, if you want a quick, practical piece of advice: proofread with text to speech. Read along in your head as it reads your work. Some of the Google and Microsoft voice models are very lifelike and they help you catch instances where your brain is autocorrecting an error (which will happen).

I would say it's fairly easily enforceable if the government simply passes a law that requires a "licensed AI Engineer" to approve a design before it gets used commercially.

This is how many other engineering disciplines work. Most people don't realize most engineers actually work under an exemption to this rule. But the mechanisms exist.

I don't think this is the way it will unfold though. Giving licenses to SWEs gives them even more leverage in the job market, which I don't think software companies will want to do and would fight that type of regulation tooth-and-nail.
There is no way to retain or control privacy when you send some information to another person regardless of the medium - email or paper or verbal even - you lose control no matter what, since the counter party can now share the same information however they see fit.

> you end up at the same handful of providers in your area no matter your insurance

This is very dependent on where you live and the density of providers. If you live in a small-to-medium size city or smaller, your description is accurate. In big cities, it's not; there is a whole set of doctors who don't work with HMOs at all, because they don't have to. They often are the best, most in demand doctors as well.
I understand the desire to preempt official regulation with self-regulation, but they seem to be erring too far with being restrictive. I am working on a product where including a human in the loop is currently required by a major AI software vendor when all of our customers are asking for a self-serve solution. I see no danger in the self-serve solution as our customers are not the general public but rather educated professionals capable and incentivized to review the output of the AI tool.
I would be interested to see performance numbers of the C version and the transpired rust version of some program.

That's not what the actual risks of deepfakes are.

You don't think the Nazis would not have used AI deepfake technology to spread propaganda or try to refute the facts of the Holocaust?

We already have evidence that state actors have a lot to gain from misinformation. We have evidence they already use selective editing and image manipulation.

The risks are erosion in societal trust of data sources, reputational risk, and risk of misuse leading to violence or criminality, or misleading voters leading to things like misallocation of shared resources.
I believe it depends. Free speech is not without limits. I think there's still a lot of discussion in the biomed community about the legality/ethics of releasing methods that can be used by bad actors to generate potentially harmful results.

Non recourse means they dont pursue you for the difference. It doesnt mean your credit isnt completely ruined for the next 7 years. It would be impossible to get another home (and in many cases to lease another apartment) with a walk-away from debt.

You are probably right! The results are stunning.
>These models are capable of generating photorealistic child pornography. That's why they're not being released.

Is this true, have you seen it or just heard about it?
because what I seen is that the AI is bad, the faces are wrong, the fingers are wrong,t he hands and legs are often connected wrong, you can get very often more then 2 legs more then 5 fingers. I seen a community that focus on waifus, this images are not realistic, are obvious carton, animation styles and similar images were created already with digital painting tools.

I also did not seen any porn scene generated by AI, I don't think the model was trained on porn scenes so at best you will get puritans removing breasts from the models, including art , but for sure I want to see how they will ensure that the AI can only generate male nipples and not women ones.
>>you're confusing web3 with crypto here. This is a very common mistake.

It's certainly one I'm making. If we take crypto / blockchain out, what IS "web3", and how is it better to web 1.0?
This is the correct answer (on Linux) and the article dismisses it after lightly touching on it’s correctness.

In a multi-threaded environment someone needs to pay the cost of synchronization if the entire event-queue is loadbalanced. If you don’t want the events to be trivially load-balanced and want the events from one fd to be delivered to a single worker, then it’s way better to use SO_REUSEPORT and get it right from the get go.

Expecting kernel to solve a problem of user-space’s making is asking for trouble - can be done, but the edge cases will sink your project!

That there are occasional errors in flagging accounts is one thing. That there's absolutely no recourse is another. Why would I want to do business with a company that works like that?
What you're saying here sounds, to me, like the sort of thing someone who's only worked in a very narrow and constrained corporate environment would think.

Of course, if that sort of environment is all that one's interested in, then it's possibly entirely true.

It just isn't, at all, for someone like me who's not existed in that sort of environment for over twwnty years... .
Traditional media paints in broad brush strokes. They simplify or streamline their stories for two reasons that are not nefarious, but lead to a lot of problems:

1. Time - Television news, which is how most of America consumes news needs to fit a story into a 30 seconds to 1 minute spot. Even if they devote more time to it, it is a series of short spots. It is almost an art form to try and package it and they are doing it on a break neck deadline. Even written content will often have a strict word count.

2. They are producing content for the lowest common denominator. Since you used USA Today, they, for example, write to an 8th grade reading comprehension level. This often involves simplifying the narrative.

And then you add on top any biases or partisan news, which sells. There is a profit motive to have a lot of angry upset readers. This is where it gets dangerous.

I don’t know what the solution is. More and more people are turning to even simpler news sources like a Facebook post. I think reading comprehension is a major issue. We have so much access to information but a large portion of the population seems unwilling or unable to effectively parse it.
Seems like it’d be easier/more effective to take out the launch vessel.
If you change your security model from gmail to a registrar you need to redo the risk assessment, or rely on someone else to do that risk assessment for your (i.e. base your decision on third-party recommendations/best practices).

A free service is covered under very different customer protection than a paid product, but your country of origin matter as does the country where the registrar is located and the country where the registry is located (registry is generally the upstream provider of the registrar). It would be difficult legal fight when the TLD is .eu, operated by Belgium company (EURid), with the domain registered by a American company (Namecheap), while you the customer is located in Russia. Your bank could also in theory be a forth country involved.

If you want legal protection as a domain owner the best advice is generally to use a cTLD of your own country with registrar located also within your own borders. It naturally depend a bit on how stable the country is and how good the customer protection laws.

I also strongly recommend against registrars where responsibility is on you to renew the domain, rather than those that have contracts that run continuously until cancellation (who will also bill you if you fail the payment). For domain names it is a better model for both the customer and registrar, in contrast for a subscription service like a news paper. It is a bad default to automatically loose the domain name.
In general, you don't, but that's a different question.

If it did that it would actually be even more expensive. The disaster liability cap in America means plants need insurance that pays out up to $300 million but no more.

Fukushima cost ~$800 billion, so they are essentially subsidized by the general public to the tune of 99.97% of what is probably their "real" insurance costs.

So no, we are measurably on the hook for more negative externalities than we are for solar/wind.

GGP was objecting to the fact that write always return immediately (writing to memory buffer, no back pressure), and GP said:

> Write calls to regular files will block until they are complete

I therefore understood "complete" to be the opposite to "only into buffers" in that context, e.g. all the way to disk. That is what I'm objecting to.

As to write(2) being a "blocking syscall" in the technical sense, I don't think I agree either. Of course it has that potential, but a write(2) to a regular file does not block in the sense of an interruptible block, or in the sense that O_NONBLOCK or select() can be used to avoid it. It is a "disk sleep" that is generally very different.
