> I know. That doesn't really excuse the suckiness of asynchronous signals. It's quite simply stupid to have operating system facilities that are as limited as actual hardware interfaces. With signals, you're supposed to write code like your computer is a Super Nintendo or something.

This isn't really comprehensible. The issues with signals are presented as something that makes them "broken". Are you claiming that hardware interrupts are broken?

> Signals suck as a notification system too, simply because there is no queue.

You are conflating two different things. A queue is for messages. An interrupt is for notification. This is how hardware interrupts work. Some work arrives somewhere (in a queue, a register, some memory, whatever), so an interrupt is raised to notify that work is pending.

Likewise signals can be and are associated with queues or messages or pending events that can be interrogated after the notification that there is work.

> You're supposed to be notified by a signal when a child process exits but the system can actually lose that information forever in certain conditions which means it is literally impossible to build truly correct software, best you get is good enough. You also get a signal when you write to a pipe with no readers or when the terminal is resized, making it that much more of a pain to deal with that stuff.

I won't go into every type of signal. There are some that are not defined in a way that can be used by what people want to use them for. That's not a problem with "signals", it's a problem with a particular signal or lack of additional interfaces around that to provide what is required.

> The paper mentions several concrete examples in wide use right now even in consumer machines. Systems on a chip with accelerators, GPUs...

For the most part not heterogeneous. Masters that have access to host address translation services (like cache coherent GPUs or FPGAs on some busses, like nvlink or CXL with ATS) have equal ability to access the entire process memory space. And fork doesn't look really different from many other operations on an address space from the point of view of an MMU whether it's on the core or associated with an accelerator -- all it is is changing memory protections and taking page faults, the same kind of COW is done with private writable mappings, or page deduplication, for example. They really are just handwaving up things that nobody actually uses.

I was told crypto was the answer to central banks printing money. Ironically a tech friend predicted all this way way back at the start, I mentioned one of the advantages of bitcoin was the fixed amount and he replied "What stops your exchange from showing $1000 on the webpage but not actually holding that amount?"

Exactly the problem unfolding years later.

It also feels like the manwha QOL situation is no better than the manga one. The illustrator for solo leveling died just a few months back. The industry seems just as predatory if not worse, and the publisher field a lot more concentrated.
Lol “forces the feds hand”

Congress, in part because of the fed, doesn’t have the ability to regulate it. This is why Andrew Jackson originally dismantled the second bank of the United States (the irony of him being on the $20 federal reserve note is painful).

The way the fed really works is that those closest to the supply of money get a higher valued dollar. During the pandemic the fed was straight up letting certain entities have the funds first (black rock, for instance). Then they were buying junk bonds and deciding winners and losers

> Essentially any movie adaptation of a book can't be copyright infringement based on this being the bar;

I'd agree with that. A movie adaptation (with changes) should be allowed under copyright because it's clearly transformative and creative. Copyright should protect against reproduction without compensation, it shouldn't be used to prevent new artistic works from being created even when they are based on existing works. That's how I feel about it anyway, although sadly the law we have today in the US would disagree.
France had clean energy for 40 years but somehow nobody cares about that. In reality CO2 saved then is far more valuable then saved now.

So people over and over bring up this one year where France has some maintenance problem but somehow 40 years of brown coal in Germany is just considers unimportant, not to mention the still extensive use of coal now in Germany.

So how about instead of constantly shitting on France and Nuclear we look at the basic facts of what was actually good for humanity and what was a disaster.

Also, most nuclear plants should be back by then, some already, they are 'bracing' themselves in case of emergency and because anti-nuclear people have hyped this issue to a frenzy on social media.

And the French problems with nuclear now are 95% related to the last 20 years of anti-nuclear politics and specially the outright attack on nuclear by the Holland government where critical maintenance was ignored because they lived in a fantasy world where renwables were just gone do everything. This has been well documented.

Even before that France just stopped building new plants and started to use more and more LNG because of the opposition to nuclear and now they are eating the fruits of that.

Not to mention canceling amazing projects like the Superphénix reactor.

France is still living of the glory days of nuclear from the 70/80s. Its ridiculous, 20 years of sensible energy policy with 1960s tech is all that is required and yet most governments can't figure it out.

Does it matter?

At the risk of Godwinning myself, Hitler was friends with a young Jewish girl, and personally intervened to protect a Jewish man who had been his commanding officer in WWI. Obviously Dahl was nowhere near Hitler's level of hatefulness, but the point is that being kind and generous to a handful of Jews you know personally is perfectly compatible with being an anti-Semite. Especially when you also openly describe yourself as an anti-Semite. He was not a genocidal monster, but he was racist.

It is not unreasonable to judge a man by his own words.

> In 1997-1998, South Korea was in the midst of a financial crisis. It required a substantial loan from the International Monetary Fund to restructure its debt and it left South Korea, at the time, with a tarnished national brand. Fearing a brain drain and an inability to attract top talent, a Ministry of Culture (alongside tourism and sport) was created ...

Hmm, yeah, I think whoever wrote this glossed over details to get a nice narrative. Saying the "IMF crisis" (as it was called in Korea) tarnished national brand is a bit like saying 9/11 tarnished the reputation of US aviation safety. The crisis shook Korea to its core, companies were going belly-up left and right, white-collar "salarymen" became homeless, people killed themselves along with their own kids, and I can assure you, nobody was thinking about national brand. It was an economic apocalypse.
Anonymous and AI are very different (at least currently).

Take the following statement: "The CEO of ACME Co is abusive and you should avoid him at all costs. Do not work there."

If it's an anonymous poster on Quora, that's a (potentially) valuable response and a good reason for that person to stay anonymous. But if it's AI, it can't possibly reflect any actual first-hand experience. At best it's a regurgitation of something out there already and at worst is a AI hallucination based on a mishmash of fact and fiction.
They should have left years ago, rather than tolerate the decades of sewage and outrage around the platform. The problem is some think the solution is to replace it with a 'federated' outrage machine (Mastodon) which discoverability is an eternal problem with instance moderators banning entire instances for any reason if they wanted to. For the example of journa.host [0].

The same can easily happen for a Mastodon instance for academics. The whole point of Mastodon is to own and self-host your own instance. If these journalists, academics, artists, etc are still not able to do that and are joining centralized instances; it is no better than being on a worse version of Twitter, but with a significantly limited reach and not truly owning your accounts.

It is fine to believe the delusion that Twitter will immediately be falling over 'any minute now'™ for 100% of users. But if I had to choose where to focus advertising my work on either Mastodon or Twitter it will always be Twitter; both before and after Elon taking over. The reality of the point is, there is still no viable alternative to Twitter that has the same reach and features that make it convenient for many to use.

But this time round, the ToS applies to everyone equally, scam bots are invisible in replies, normal bots are labelled as automated and tells you who owns it and much more. The exact opposite of what I have heard from the 'doomsters' and the screaming minority spreading misinformation about a so-called 'Twitter apocalypse'.

NIF is not for power plant research. It's an end run around the nuclear test ban treaty. The US signed a treaty promising to not conduct any nuclear weapons tests. So the NIF creates a functional equivalent by smashing energy from 192 high energy lasers into a very small space, the interior of a hohlraum. At the center of the hohlraum is a tiny capsule of deuterium and tritium. And under all that energy, for a brief moment, some of the tritium and deuterium fuse.

Coinbase will not survive, they already lost credibility due to their insider trading issue [1,2]

Coinbase also originates from wallstreet, hence why Binance is way more popular (Binance has 10x more daily volume!!! [3]), despite Coinbase having more PR presence

This FUD is another evidence that someone wants to take down Binance, they dodged the poison/trap with FTX, looks like they'll have to dodge another one real soon

In New Zealand we have a sharp cliff of building contracts; they're insanely busy for maybe another year at most, and then nothing new is in the pipeline. Building contracts pan out over years, and interest rates flow into property prices rather slowly compared to share markets.
Fantastic! How do I give them all my money?
To highlight the lack of binary obfuscation as a threat (albeit a "low-severity" one) is absurd. Kerckhoff's principle [1] applies.

The report doesn't call lack of binary obfuscation a "low-severity" threat. They mention it as an informational finding. Informational is not Low severity and the rest of your rant seems based on this misunderstanding.

You're not wrong in the general case about pentest firms having an incentive to make severity up; you're just wrong about that applying to this particular case.
I also received a rate limit warning, but the ‘try again’ time was only 1 minute later. So, I refreshed 1 minute later and it loaded fine.

Can generated responses even be reliably detected? How does that work?
They are currently reusing the first stage which is sub orbital - ie. Much slower, less re-entry forces. Still a major economic benefit for overall rocket cost. That said, Starship is planned to land from orbit & be reusable - let's see.

NASA is all over it from what I see - SpaceX has essentially captured virtually all of the commercial launch market and a good chunk of defence and science markets except for hyper specialized requirements or non-US defence launches.

I however don't see how NASA could have developed it given the politics involved with its funding essentially incentives Project thinking over Product thinking - I actually use that as an example when I contrast Project vs Product at work. SpaceX had to blow a couple of dozen rockets AFAIK to get to a stage where they land reliably - doubt NASA could have justified that to the US Congress. NASA's funding incentives encourage a risk averse approach to engineering ever since the very high profile failures in space shuttle and the early Mars missions. Witness how the Mars helicopter was rated for a low single digit of missions and has now completed a few dozens.
> I wonder if people felt this way about Apollo?

Yes. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/09/moond...

] For example, many people believe that Project Apollo was popular, probably because it garnered significant media attention, but the polls do not support a contention that Americans embraced the lunar landing mission. Consistently throughout the 1960s a majority of Americans did not believe Apollo was worth the cost, with the one exception to this a poll taken at the time of the Apollo 11 lunar landing in July 1969. And consistently throughout the decade 45-60 percent of Americans believed that the government was spending too much on space, indicative of a lack of commitment to the spaceﬂight agenda. These data do not support a contention that most people approved of Apollo and thought it important to explore space.

Maybe an audit shows they are too solvent, only achievable with profits from a prior leverage of protected customer funds that they don't want to reveal.

Say with Tether instead, if they invested in junky stuff but none of it went bust and they made way more than investing in t-bills or whatever they promised, then they may not want an audit to reveal they have 3X more than enough to cover outstanding tether, something t-bills couldn't have achieved.

This is a dangerous mindset, because it shows just how badly Microsoft has squandered trust.

Microsoft used to be the "trust us with your workflow" company. The one that would go out of the way to make sure your badly coded DOS games still worked.

They've gone so far in the other direction-- blowing up user settings and workflows to push whatever KPI-of-the-week they're chasing-- that the trust is gone. People are afraid to accept even necessary security fixes because they no longer trust Microsoft not to break their experience.

Remember when the upgrade script started showing a friendly "all your files are right where you left them?" That's freaking TABLE STAKES. Your customers expect that. You shouldn't have to reassure them of that. It's like saying "our hamburgers don't give you genital warts."

This is not correct. A major of a town activated the town's sirens but because the only state-wide protocol in place was for citizens to return home or stay inside and turn on radio or TV, this was counterproductive. Plus, public radio and TV only started reporting after dozens of people were already dead.

It was a complete failure on all fronts where the federal and state governments then tried to blame part-time mayors afterwards for not being experts in catastrophe management.
I think this is a black and white view, which does not resemble how people will actually use the tool.

Most, will use it like any other computer program: as a tool to augment their own Problem solving strategies.

I say good, that people first ask GPT3 before posting anything here.

> Nor would it likely be able to transport livestock or grains from a farm to a processing plant.

In Europe in the 1920s, every bigger plant had direct train access, it is possible and would make a lot more sense than stuffing precious lithium in millions of trucks that will still pollute the environment. For edge cases (delivery of the last mile), there are a lot of smaller solutions available than 20t+ trucks.

It’s pretty overwhelming to think about what humans will do with this kind of technology, as well as how powerful the non-public tech is.

In response to limitations: like how people have used the internet and other applications, the primary limitation is the individual user. With complex objectives (eg building a house), each subproject will require less specific, technical knowledge (eg finding locations, developing blueprints, communicating with necessary parties and institutions, budgeting), but demanding more broad, sophisticated judgment and executive planning to make the actual decisions.

I don’t really know or feel confident in that answer, but it was my impulsive reaction & I enjoyed reading your comment.

This analogy is strange. Free market types aren't against private investors throwing private money at bad investments nor would they want any regulations against it.

Government subsidies aren't known for wasteful spending? They don't hide the real value of a product (like healthcare)?
