The problem is as for most of the current "Supply Chain Crisis" that the core of the problem is with logistics and distribution not raw supply, i.e. it doesn't really matter how many Liqid Gas carriers that show up of the coast of Europe as there is nowhere to unload it as the networks are designed around just in time supplies of gas flowing out of the pipelines from Russia.

This distribution problem is what is sending the price of everything sky rocketing and for anything other then microchips from the overstretched TSMC fabs the real cause of the price hikes is a breakdown in the fragile "just in time" logistics network, dependent on a few choke point running at 101% efficiency all of the time.
> Yeah NH gives a warped lens on how ready these runtimes & frameworks are for real work

I think it's more that HN is warping reality on how ready they are for real work. We are shaping what is going to happen next in tech, and how quickly, by being eager and ready to give things a try and, in a mix of above average skill and curiosity, being able to make it work at a fairly sophisticated level, despite its current shortcomings.
That's a nice vision.

However there are other issues than security ones. Some stuff is not allowed, like for example doing some grown-up things (sorry to be so vague). Self-publishing only works if a third party efficiently controls forbidden things.

And that's an app store.

It’s a pretty DIY thing but the asahi linux project has got Linux running on the M series chips and I believe Linus put together his own build of fedora using that kernel.

Nuclear was, in fact, never cost-effective. No civil power nuke has ever been operated, anywhere in the world, without utter dependence on massive public subsidy.

Nukes get less competitive every day. Lately, already paid-for nukes are about on par with fresh-built solar or wind,big you neglect the disaster liability subsidy. But wind and solar costs are still falling.
I'd add especially when buying used in good condition. A D700 for example goes for around 300 bucks. And that is a truely professional DSLR, the smaller sensor actually doesn't matter if you don't plan to prind barn door sized and then brake out a microscope. Back the day, it was Nikon's low light king (obviously not anymore) and basically the same camera as a D3. So still plenty good for ethusiasts and amateurs. For difference to a Z6 you get a lot of good glass (always a better investment than camera bodies) and there should still be some money left over to go to exotic and beautiful places to actually take pictures. If you want more resolution, a D750 goes for a little over double a D700 and a D800 can be had for around 500.

If you earn your living through photography, things are of course different.
The other millions of species don't have an ethical perspective. But okay, lets grant their perspective of wanting to survive and reproduce, behave in the way they evolved to. Fine, but how do you balance the perspectives of those millions? We still need to plow and harvest large fields even if we all go vegan. We still have to deal with pests in our homes.

Should we kill a bunch of cows to make way for native species? Was it okay when the feral goats in the Galapagos were machine gunned down from the air so they would stop eating all the vegetation the native tortoises relied on? Should we kill off all the feral cats, or just let them continue killing birds and small mammals? Is it okay to spray for mosquitos and ticks, or do we let them carry disease and infect us and other animals?

There's a million different tradeoffs, thousands of which we have to decide no matter what.

Sort of, but public companies generally can grow much larger than private companies. There's something to be said for the fact that Zuckerberg is using a public company like his private company because it's architected to give everyone else less control. If it was all his money, fine whatever, but he's burning shareholder value and shareholders have no power to do anything about it, and that seems wrong, IMHO.

Maybe since 19th and 20th century archaeologists have a sometimes terrible track record (Elgin Marbles, Benin Bronzes, etc.), it's important to not be similarly extractive with the 3d data now but instead find ways to connect the local and international communities using the laser scans. That's one of the areas we're exploring next.
A simulation of accounting data is accounting data.

Yes, the green vs blue bubble. Blue bubbles indicate iMessage. Green bubble is for sms. It’s brutal in group chats because just one green bubble user forces everyone to downgrade and get shittier pictures, etc. So it’s not the color itself, it’s the worse experience that accompanies it.
The cheri, mte, etc have cost with hardware support.

MTE consumes huge amounts of memory (if you have an N-bit tag for every M bytes, you burn (total ram / M * N) bits. Imagine you have say a 4 bit tag for every 16 bytes - that works out to 3% of memory being used. But there are additional costs: now to read from a pointer you have the load cost of the pointer itself, but also the tag. Now I assume cpu hardware folk know how this kind of stuff could be faster than the obvious thing I would try, but no matter what happens this ends up using more memory and more processing time - a cost that would be avoided if everything was in a safe language.

CHERI has the same set of problems, but I never looked into it too much as the costs seemed like they’d be huge, and conceptually it’s very “obvious” (it took me a bit of time to understand that MTE is intended to be probabilistic, and how you would then make use of it - cheri is much easier to comprehend). But the same thing happens: you need more memory, and it requires more cpu time. Extra fun is that with cheri the hardware burns resources in bounds checks for pointer accesses, even though in safe languages those have already happened.

Pointer authentication has cpu time costs at least - I don’t think there is meaningful memory overhead, but clearly it has enough cost that simply “authenticate every pointer” isn’t something that can be done otherwise someone would have written a post about doing so.

But this also misses the point: I did not say “software cost”, I said “cost” without qualifiers. The reason is that it doesn’t matter whether any particular mitigation is implemented in software or in hardware, the only reason the mitigation is present is to make code written in unsafe languages less trivially exploitable.

If for the sake of argument someone wrote everything from the kernel to all of userspace solely in memory safe languages, then none of these mitigations would be necessary. So you’d get back the ram, the cpu time, the die space, etc that is all burned solely for the benefit of unsafe languages.

The moral objection in this case is less around predation but the fact that humans rear the animals we kill and as such have far more control over their environment and lives. As such the cruelty of their lives and the way they meet their end is absolutely within our control as a choice. Whereas the vast majority if not all other animals aren’t in this position. You can also put this alongside the enormous amount of food waste that occurs in human society.

Me too. Plus they support custom domains for email now.
In a security test of a bespoke password reset platform, I came across something quite similar, so you're not alone.

The JSESSIONID of the unauthenticated request for a password reset (as exposed to the client as a cookie) was used as the secret in the email sent to the user. Therefore an attacker knew the emailed token before it was even sent, and could reset the account password and take it over.

> you have to also accept that all the other things are bad.

Exactly, I think all these things are bad in the same way. They distort your sense of normalcy.

I do think porn might have a special place here though. As with any addictive drug, you have a ritual, with a dopamine hit that accompanies an activity you can do quite frequently and that doesn't keep you satisfied. That's really the kind of stuff that shapes your brain more than passive activities like TV.

Social Media is probably on a similar level of insidiousness.

I think it's the cost of tooling and materials.

The original 1200 was a pure hi-fi deck in a large and very competitive market. DJs just adopted because it could be repurposed for their needs.

When Matsushita redesigned the 1200Mk2 they could afford to maintain their market leading position by investing in things like die casting and superior bearing.

Any OEM manufacture now is unlikely to want to spend that kind of money to manufacture something sold in small numbers.

> whereas when something is legal but really unhealthy, like nicotine, it can be as profitable as you want.

I have never said that. Were it up to me, we would do our damndest to eliminate the profit motive in the production of those drugs also, like alcohol and tobacco, which for cultural reasons it's not practical to just ban.

I don't think the scientific method pushes people to black markets. I understand the "do something!!" impulse on behalf of people who suffer from things like migraines, but these people are especially important to protect from people with a profit motive hawking miracle cures.

Why would people who profit from life-wrecking recreational drugs be any less cynical than apricot-kernel cancer cure profiteers? I can understand that desperate people fall for such people's PR and want to try anything, but I will not let the cynical profiteers weaponize those desperate people to bypass the scientific standards for approving potentially dangerous drugs.
There are some tricks which can help you stay there. E.g. you can try spinning around and then usually you end up in a different place. Also, if you haven't been lucid dreaming for a long time yet it may come naturally as you get less frantically excited that you've achieved it.

But there are also levels to lucidity. I remember having dreams when I knew I was dreaming before I've been lucid dreaming and it was a very different experience.

With full lucidity everything is in such a mind boggling great detail which I cannot achieve in the real world with my eyes and yet I know it's all made up in my head. I can carefully examine surface of some thing and it's so unreal that this touch experience is only a dream.

I highly recommend to at least try it a few times for those who haven't. Profound life experience.

However personally I don't do these anymore (or even hardly remember any dreams, low amount of sleep may be related), because dreams tend to consume me a bit. They can be such a powerful experiences that I may spend good part of the day thinking about them and I'd rather take in what's around me. I wonder if anybody here can relate to that part.

- Enforcement: Mere policy VS technical block via permission revocation (what happens if an urgent hotfix is required?)

- Communication: Did anyone see this coming? Was it communicated in a respectful manner?

Theses on the Techlash
This is true for exactly one kind of photography - the one where we use pictures to capture memories and moments in time. And while I agree that that's a majority for most of us ("99% of us 99% of time", to quote somewhat exaggerating Hugh Brownstone), that's by no means all of it.

The smartphone camera can never "fully" replace an actual camera gear simply because of the choice of lenses and therefore the fields of view that the camera gives us. Optics is somewhat heartless in this respect.

AI and image processing can to a point simulate the feeling that the fixed focal length lenses of these cameras give us, but currently (and for the foreseeable future of at least a decade) they have a tough time going beyond that.

What we see now is the camera market shifting from mass use to a niche. "Prosumers", videographers, YouTubers and such.
