I wonder to what degree some of these issues can be addressed with cryptographic protocols.

In some sense I feel like we already have good solutions in place when dealing with this problem in other contexts.

We can for example get some guarantees about “who wrote this code” with signed git commits for example.

The problem is a lot of our commonly used communication protocols were never designed with them in mind.
> Personally, I find that their samples aren't near anything I'd call "dangerous".

I don't think you'd be able to pretend it's a speech given on TV or whatever, but I think they're probably good enough for phishing e.g. the usual scam of pretending to be a stranded family member, but this time rather than texting/WhatsApping them, you can do a live audio call.

Just (like the newspapers used to do to celebrities) try out lots of PIN numbers on random voicemails and lift a message from a family member if you get in. I think given that mobile phone reception isn't always stellar anyway, this would be be very effective.

Layer in a background track of random street noise and prompt the target with deflections "Sorry, the line is really bad; it's breaking up a lot. I can't hear you properly but if you can still here me, can you send me $X".

My favourite quote:

“In robust training for this life, which is itself a continual fight with some form of adversary or other, the aim should be to form that solid and adamantine fiber which will endure long and serious attacks upon it, and come out unharmed from them, rather than the ability to perform sudden and brilliant feats, which often exhaust the powers in show, without doing any substantial good.”
In regards to 1., the axioms of the value of a life are inherently illogical, because they are axioms, so I would be hesitant to disregard having the argument, since a good argument can refine your position on any topic.

For example, I have met utilitarians that have little regard for life that has no economic value, but they are upfront regarding the value of life in economic terms, versus inherent value which a decision one has to make that is inherently illogical.

I blame much of the hype around the "metaverse" on crypto scammers. VR was arguably in a slow but steady growth phase centered around games until it got tied up with the overhyped and poorly defined buzz word, which also includes every hyped up technology in existence (AI, AR, Blockchain, etc). As a long time VR developer going back to 2015, it was hard to watch it happen.

GoAlert: Open-source on call software by Target
I don't have studies to back this claim up directly and I think this is one of those areas that are hard to study because I am assuming it would require recording participants through their lifetime. I do think this will be something that seems obvious once we do look back at it. Here is my line of thinking, apologies it is not well put together and is only a stream of thoughts.

1. We now accept that cooking with wood causes lung disease/cancer. There are studies that show an increased rate of lung issues with women in developing countries due to inhalation of smoke.

2. We are increasingly seeing studies that show inhaling any pollutants is not safe/healthy. I am not fear mongering about it but I do try to be more aware because of this.

3. When I cook in my kitchen I see pm2 and voc measurments spike almost instantly even on measurement devices in a bedroom across the house. This is without having central air on at the time. Our home is 20ish years old and not modern air tight. I once burned some bread in the oven slightly, just the smallest bit of visible smoke came out of the oven, readings spiked and stayed that way for 2hours even with two medium size hepa filters on.

4. I originally came to my conclusion prior to the more recent studies showing indoor natural gas combustion can be an issue. Originall I was more concerned with pollutants that come from the cooking process as it is very hard to ventilate inside a house. When I originally read some of these studies and it appeared that the main issue was burners that were combusting improperly.

So its mostly my own extrapolation based on what has been seen in populations that are exposed to pollutants on a regular basis. I could be overthinking it but it makes sense to me that its best to reduce exposure where possible. I cook outside and it keeps both the smells and the pollutants out of the home. And I also just make my original statement with the functionality of chinese style apartment kitchens. The kitchen is almost like a wetroom in a sense but for smells. It closes off from the rest of the unit and is open to the outside so you can do whatever you want cooking wise and not impact the rest of the unit.

There is an analogy here, as git does deduplication 'under the hood'.

It's kind of weird actually - at the architectural level we interact with, we talk in terms of diffs - both in terms of display and what we put in.

At the next level down (content addressable store) git is storing whole files, and the git tooling translates the diffs we communicate about down into whole files for each commit.

Then at the next level down, git puts files together in packfiles (when the repo is packed) which is a compression system to make use of the fact that most files are just tweaks of other files. So, once again it's diffs.

Right Click Opens Link in a Background Tab is a small productivity extension for Chrome that makes right clicking links open them in a new background tab.

Below 30-35 years of age: You stay until you learned everything you could learn from the job and can move on to a job with more responsibilities(and obviously higher pay). I know the advice today for younger people is to job hop every 2 years and get huge checks, but there are some jobs where arriving there with insufficient skills and flunking out means you will not get a chance in that role again (I personally know 2 people who jumped at trading promotions before they were "ready", did not impress from the get go and now will probably never trade again unless its their own money).

Above 35 years of age(not there yet but my plan): IMO here you should just focus on maximizing how much you are paid vs the work you do.
This appears to be a case of differing convention and differing scope.

Our work isn’t fundamentally about just subdomain takeover, which has received substantial academic study (we cited multiple of these). Academic conference papers are highly space constrained, so it’s common to limit cites to seminal conference papers unless no such sources exist. In this case Liu et al. 2016 is the original academic cite and does cite the work you mention. The work you mention also specifically also deals with SaaS-related (not IP-related) subdomain takeover, which is a separate area that we don’t study in our work.

When studying history in university, I reveled in the deep, meaty kind of books I had to pore through, loaded with facts and arguments on every page, thick with footnotes and tempting bibliographic references to follow.

I had to take copious notes to make sense of the mass of information, to organize it in a way that my brain could take in, and to glean the facts needed for my research papers.

In some cases, I had to dispute the historian's arguments, which required even more concentration to get inside the head of a scholar who was backing up their statements with 20-30 years or more of research and learning.

That's what I think of as real writing! Then we have fiction (fantasy and science fiction have always been my preferences) that allows us to lose ourselves in a brilliantly described world created by an incredible imagination and lovingly crafted.

Modern writing... yeah, not quite as seductive, though once in a while one can find some very interesting stuff on substack or medium (or here on HN for that matter). There's always more to learn.

> That's a textbook on the idea, not a text book on an area of physics using that idea.

A textbook on the various ways that idea can be and has been used. The notion that physics is computation is still new, and that arguably started with Wheeler first casting physics as information in "It from bit". I predict the next century will see further application of some forms of finitism to physics to resolve various difficulties.

Edit: I also want to note that at least two big names I know of are exploring cellular automata-based theories for QM, so there is direct work on computation-based models of physics.

> providing a computable formalism for classical mechanics.

Of course there is, the usual way works fine. Any computation with 70 digits of precision is far beyond our abilities to measure experimentally. Certainly such computations aren't tractable at this time, but that's a different matter.

> But even were our measurement limited to finite precision, the world certainly isnt.

Why is that "certain"? Don't you see how this is an unscientific assertion? Science is about what can be measured, so you have no basis to claim that a continuous theory must be true and a discrete theory false if you can perform no experiment to distinguish them.

She knew it wasn't my voice, asked two questions which were dodged then told them where to go and how to get there.

Case in point: the local hospital here has the operating theaters in the middle. on all floors except the ground floor. Walking through the operating theaters is a no-no so you'll sometimes find yourself going to the ground floor, walking to the next set of elevators, and then going back up to the floor you were originally on. Of course the top floor is smaller than all the other floors and in two parts so that's some extra confusion.

At least the whole thing is linear, so walking on the ground floor to the right "section" and then going up to the right floor usually gets you there.

I think the work being done in the opposite direction is going to make it so the Internet can be used for high trust actions too.

E.g. in the EU we have ID cards and passports with biometric information and NFC, and there was a beta of a phone app by the French government where it would read your photo from the ID card/passport, and compare with a video selfie. That way you get fully local and secure identification allowing you to do stuff online that would otherwise require you to show up in person to a government office.

> The difference for me is that Web3 was never shown to be at all useful.

Because nobody agrees what web3 even means, it's a totally useless term, not that dissimilar to AGI or consciousness, which nobody can properly define. People who hate crypto define web3 in terms of all the negative stuff, while people who have a vested interested in pumping token prices (like VCs) will define web3 in terms of all the potentially positive stuff.

I believe that the that fundamentals of crypto are incredibly useful and will eventually be adopted, and have been in meany places, but all the web3/NFT/etc stuff (whatever that means) is just useless hype and ponzi schemes.

Crypto has a much more negative image because it's full of scams, but that doesn't mean anything. It's just significantly easier to create scams with crypto because money is at the very base layer, than it is to create scams with AI. But that doesn't imply anything about the usefulness of these technologies.
