It will likely not help a lot, because syscall overhead is not the bottleneck - but the implementation of the actual syscalls is - which is very visible in the flamegraphs. Both sendmmsg/recvmmsg and io_uring only help with the syscall overhead, and therefore are not as helpful in improving efficiency as the the offloads which make the actual network stack more efficient.

Besides kernel supplied offloads, the thing which helps further is actually bypassing the kernel with AF_XDP or DPDK. But those techniques will have other challenges and limitations.
Apple can still regulate your iPhone if they want. They just have to do so with the option to disable that regulation, which seems like a fair concession to me. Macs pull this off without a problem, even letting you install another OS if you're dissatisfied with MacOS. Apple just needs to bring that same philosophy to iPhone, and developers won't be mad at them.
So we have a technological solution to cross-app tracking, and we'd downgrade to a regulatory process that hopefully fines companies enough to actually cause a difference. Oh, and you'd better hope those companies are actually located withing the EU or US, because if you PII gets siphoned to China you won't get any remediation whatsoever (at least for as long as they remain the world's manufacturing capital).
Exactly. Regulators are not stupid, they will do such regulation in a sensible way, not simply allow Meta to load whatever garbage they want onto iOS.
I empathize - I was a little worried about what would happen to my work if Observable shut down.

But the lock-in is less severe these days. The parser, runtime and standard lib are all open-source, so you can run a full notebook in VSCode https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GordonSm...

I've come to appreciate the non-standard extensions they've made to JS too - the reactive cell model has greatly reduced the amount of code I've needed to write compared to a hypothetical React equivalent. It's my #1 platform for my small side projects these days.

I'll quickly note for anyone uncertain - Plot is pure JS so it doesn't have to be used in an Observable notebook. Will run anywhere D3 does.

I'm working on a system where references can be passed around at runtime. Can references in Pony be passed around at runtime between threads?

I'm working on ideas such as:

> Let’s see if his ‘I’m baby’ defense works in court.

It was a foolish move to open his mouth at all on the matter, let alone go on every podcast that invited him and took every interview to spout his self-incriminating non-sense and riling up the Media and the public's ire in the process.

If that was his goal, he has terribly failed to establish anything that suggests it will work

Worst yet... is his choice for chief counsel:

In the U.S., Bankman-Fried has hired defense lawyer Mark Cohen, who is best known for representing Ghislaine Maxwell during her sex trafficking trial, as well as Mexican cartel boss Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.

This string of fails along with his lawyers high profile cases (that ended unfavourable for his clients) makes it seem like he is screwed. He will remain in prison until February at Fox Hill [0].

Personally speaking, he and everyone affiliated with FTX and Alameda have face severe, costly and lengthy sentences; if they're going to go after influencers who lend their name and reputation to these scams then scrutiny has to be made for those politicians, media and VC insiders who also participated in this scam. This has to be the only inevitable outcome in this because without any oversight on that side of things this vanity given to businesses that operate with the false legitimacy of being licensed or regulation will never be addressed if it doesn't expose how those things are granted when you have resources to spend to buy your way into compliance.

Exactly! It's so strange this is somehow made to be about fusion as an energy source.
I'm happy to announce that Q>>1 has already been achieved on multiple occasions. In the cores of the thermonuclear devices tested by the US and USSR in the 50s.
(Unfortunately that technology proved unviable as a path to civilian fusion power.)
Thanks--and I'm glad to hear you're working on access control. My current approach to that hairball has been basically to work on everything else first and think about it later. Maybe it's not actually a hairball, but the fear of it being one has been enough to keep me from thinking about it.
Luckily we are not allowed to build houses like software bros on HN are allowed to build billion dollar companies. A shitty tech stack going down doesn't often burn down other companies. But a city full of balloon frames leads to an entire city burning to the ground.

If anything, the modern building code is a testament to why the way people on HN build software is at best irresponsible and at worst a threat to society.

Oh, one more thing.

Popping the devtools on my brain, I think the reason this issue jumped out at me in the first place is that YC's moral ground has shifted lately, mostly because of its exposure to blockchain bets, many of which turned out to be, how to put this politely, more valuable than worthy.

In this new climate, it's impossible for me not to pay close attention to how organizations shield themselves from reputational risk.

It might be advisable to HN to come up with some self-regulatory editorial policies and guidelines to prevent unintentional conflicts-of-interest.

For example, if it turned out that HN was being used to systematically privilege coverage of its friends, allies, and clients, that would have reputational impact on the publication going forward.

I don't think that's what's intentionally going on here, but I also feel we've seen just how fraught the act of edition actually is.
I'm running the latest version of Firefox 108 that was just released on macOS and scrolling works just fine for me.

Fun fact: if you do a lot of INSERT... ON CONFLICT calls in Postgres from automated systems that are updating much more often than you insert, your autoincrement primary key can increment far far faster than your data volume (since it doesn't de-increment on a conflict) and overflow an int, grinding things to a halt. One of the more maddening outages I've had to deal with!

You're surprisingly passionate about defending TikTok and CCP.

Coconut oil is not a healthy choice because of its colossal content of saturated fats [1]. It's fine for use in cosmetics.

Olive oil is great fresh, as a part of sauces, dressings, etc, but care should be taken not to burn it when frying things [2].

Deep-fried stuff is a traditional part of many cuisines of Eastern Asia [3], where people often live pretty long [4], are usually less overweight, and experience less heart diseases than in the US. Quite possibly it's not the most nutritional choice, but often the safest for street food in hot climates. Likely other parts of East Asian diets, like abundance of fresh vegetables, somehow offset whatever detrimental effects deep-fried food items may have, in a way they don't in a typical US diet, especially at lower income levels.

Interestingly, canola oil is officially considered somehow beneficial for health [5].

Not sure what you're saying here?

A third party store could offer itself and turn off certain security features. I'm not sure that would be against the law. In fact, I'm certain it would not even be against the law for Apple to say, "Hey, your app store turned off security, so we will no longer give you our users' credit card numbers." (In fact, that's what policymakers hope for. The goal is nothing going through Apple. Least of all payments.)

If people are expecting the law to allow low security payments, then they are in for a rude awakening. For one, no one has taken leave of their senses here. Secondly, the credit card companies have in no way given Apple permission to allow access to their payment system under terms of reduced security. (In fact, they haven't given permission for Apple to offer access to their payment systems under any modified terms at all. Security or otherwise.)

Now what lawmakers are saying is that Apple should allow different app stores to participate on their platform. But yes, the vision, and hope, is that those app stores will have their own arrangements with the credit card companies. But some app stores will probably just keep Apple security protections in place and use Apple's services. There's nothing that precludes that either. (But that would be disappointing in the sense that everything would still be going through Apple.)

Solar and wind potential is enormous. The current world average primary energy demand is 18 TW, but the Earth is constantly being struck by 100,000 TW of sunlight. In no sense is a shortage of sun and wind an argument for fusion.

As for safety, the problem with fission isn't safety, it's cost. Trading off economics to obtain better safety is solving the wrong problem.

If fusion is not to be economical for 50 years, it will be competing against renewables (and storage) that have gone fully down their experience curves. In a world fully powered by PV, on the demonstrated historical experience curve, the LCOE from PV could be below $0.01/kWh (in today's dollars). Fusion will have a very difficult time competing against that.

You could, at some cost to the health of astronauts. They won't die, right away, anyway. They will lose a lot of bone density, at a minimum. The other effects, like pooling of various bodily fluids, etc. will become both tiresome and more dangerous the longer they go on. They will get a lot of radiation. On ISS astronauts work out 2.5 hours per Earth day to control health problems.

Training enough astronauts for frequent missions will be extremely difficult, maybe infeasible. Colonizing Mars is a fantasy.
Just curious - what was the evidence for this before the success? I don't think people are really built to handle that much power over other people, seems like anyone that gets that much money goes down basically the same path:

- Vastly different wealth makes you unable to relate to normal people

- You have to justify that somehow to yourself and maybe others

- The easiest answer is that you're successful because you deserve it and that means other people also deserve their relative failure

- Resentment builds and you treat people differently because you see them as both failing and deserving of their failure, instead of through the lens of luck that would take away all the ego credit you built up from your perceived success

This happens in pretty much every category - top athletes think they trained harder, executives think they have a better business mind, etc. Seems like artists are the most likely ones to realize that they just got lucky and can't really claim much credit. There was a great article from the creator on the end poem in Minecraft recently about this - they literally wrote the poem but attributed it to luck/god/muses/pick-your-magical-force so didn't feel justified in claiming the royalties even though they could sue Microsoft for a DMCA violation on every copy of the game sold
So, let's say Apple drops the cost of the 14 Pro Max down to $506[0]. Does it suddenly become legal? What if it's a more reasonable profit margin of $100 perhaps - at what point is it "you cannot make money off your software on the backend"? and, importantly, what makes consoles any different now that they also (A) sell either close-to-cost or at a loss, (B) tend to contain a web browser, and (C) charge a large percentage fee on third-party titles bought for the console?

A smart ass reply was statistically very likely on HN actually. Checkmate me.
Having had to work with importing RSS feeds. I absolutely despise the tech. The sources generating RSS have almost no consistency on how things are done and the actual spec itself doesn't show much opinion on which of the 5 ways to do things is the preferred one. That's before you get in to the mess of invalid RSS and then invalid XML which is extremely common.

One of the problems is the spec tries to do everything. You have blogs, podcasts, random crap, and now social media all trying to cram in to the same spec. Ideally you want one spec per use case. With modern tech it's very easy to create a new JSON spec which is trivial to parse and serialize. And you can auto generate extremely accurate documentation.

I don't think we really need "another rss" which would just be fragmentation. We just do not need to be using RSS for social media just because you can.

Exists exclusion, when You could benefit using aggressive legal policy.

If You are really big corporation, You could surround niche of game with Your own copyrighted content and patents, like CPU vendors, each have hundreds of patents.

In this case, owner of game, will risk to begin great legal war if he tries to sue You.

But this is race of arms, very like Cold war. To be safe, Your investments should be big enough, to compete with what have owner of game.

For example, to compete with Microsoft, You should spend hundreds of millions for copyrighted content and patents, but if Your competitor smaller, may be enough few tens of patents.
In my experience, you first do an emergency re-seed to use the negative half of the int32 space.

> we'd downgrade to a regulatory process that hopefully fines companies enough to actually cause a difference

It is not a downgrade, because for those who live in democracies, such regulations are decided by we, the people, and thus we should ultimately place our faith in the democratic system, not in any private corporation, no matter how benevolent-seeming.

> because if you PII gets siphoned to China you won't get any remediation whatsoever

Evidence that this isn't already happening anyway? Whither current iOS users in China?

> at least for as long as they remain the world's manufacturing capital

Don't worry, Apple is hard at work shifting their supply chain to India and Vietnam. Right? Right?
> It's big because the people doing it call it big.

How does "[It's big b]ecause sustainable positive energy out has never been achieved before in 60 years of research" translate to "because we say it's big" in your head?

You might not consider it big, but a specific reason was provided and it had zero similarity to your rephrasing.

Maybe semantics but I don't really think of that as a pole structure anymore.

When I think of a pole structure, I think of continuous poles that extend into the ground.

Almost all of your sway strength is dependent on a continuous member going below ground level and most of the economies of a pole structure are realized by not building the footing all the way around.

That said, if you are not bound by seismic it is perfectly reasonable and I agree with you - Brettstapel[1] columns, such as sistered 2x6, would be just fine.

From your link - here is what I would think of as a pole structure:

After a couple seconds on GNU's homepage[1]:

> With proprietary software, there is always some entity, the developer or “owner” of the program, that controls the program—and through it, exercises power over its users. A nonfree program is a yoke, an instrument of unjust power.

I've read enough of passages like these from GNU in the past to say that your quote is not a mischaracterisation.

Because corporations maintaining such control over what should have been our computers is fundamentally unjust. It turns us into serfs of their digital fiefdoms where they make the laws and collect the taxes and tariffs.

I neither have experience with wireguard nor x/crypto. But I did some measurements on crypto algorithms for QUIC efficiency before. There I achieved about 350MB/s throughput on a single Ryzen 3900X CPU core using ChaCha20, compared to 500MB/s using hardware accelerated AES256. That might or might not be faster than your network.

Note that the numbers include networking overhead, if you would just measure crypto performance the numbers would obviously be higher - as would the difference between the algorithms be.
