I mean, is that not like saying that a user will RTFM and disable all unnecessary services after their install?

The OpenBSD mentality is the opposite - they will sacrifice convenience and disable all unnecessary services by default, in order to make the system as secure as possible, and you can go RTFM and knowingly increase your risk if you choose to.

That mentality would suggest, I think, disk encryption should be opt-out on the install. Of course, the first step to getting there is an opt-in system.
It’s interesting to me that the comments of the HN crowd seem to focus on Effective Altuism and AI safety.

A ton of the article is about immoral behavior of men in positions of power towards women. And the misogyny.

> The underlying ideology valorizes extremes: seeking rational truth above all else, donating the most money and doing the utmost good for the most important reason. This way of thinking can lend an attractive clarity, but it can also provide cover for destructive or despicable behavior.

I think this quote really sums things up for me.

I live in one of these small European towns. It is honestly mind boggling how far some people drive to go to work here. I'm in The Netherlands around Eindhoven. We have colleagues in Den Bosch, Utrecht and Maastricht driving to work every week. Eindhoven is full of commuters.

Some people take the train, but that isn't always convenient, especially with strikes! Your boss doesn't care that you were 3 hours late due to a bus skipping out on work. Your paycheck cares a lot though.

Back in America, most people I knew lived and worked in the same general region/city. Perhaps this is a uniquely Dutch problem owing to the size of the country, but I don't see how they can reduce car usage without significantly more investment in public transportation. By the looks of the current state of the government, that's not going to happen anytime soon.
What if it solves the P versus NP problem?

No, and apparently it's for a good reason, but don't ask why.
So financial deregulation is a positive development? Remember that next time the state has to take 50 or 100 billion dollar loan to save a greedy bank, that's too big to fail. No big deal, it will just cost a few percent higher taxes for a few decades.

Full title: "Elon Musk publicly mocks Twitter worker with disability who is unsure whether he’s been laid off"

"Elon Musk has apologized after publicly scoffing at a Twitter employee’s uncertainty about whether he had been laid off in a recent round of cuts and speaking dismissively of the employee’s disability in a series of tweets Monday night.

“I would like to apologize to Halli for my misunderstanding of his situation. It was based on things I was told that were untrue or, in some cases, true, but not meaningful,” Musk tweeted Tuesday. “He is considering remaining at Twitter.”

Earlier, Haraldur Thorleifsson, an Iceland-based Twitter senior director, tweeted at Musk that access to his computer had been cut off nine days earlier, when Twitter reportedly laid off some 200 employees. But, Thorleifsson said in his tweet, “your head of HR is not able to confirm if I am an employee or not.”"

> Now, there have been studies that showed that erythritol is apparently toxic to fruit flies. [...] That last effect may have partly been due to starvation, honestly, and it is also believed to cause osmotic imbalance in them. But nothing like that had ever been seen with humans; it has no such effects even in honeybees.

It was mentioned specifically to be dismissed, and the opposite of what you're claiming is what was suggested.

The rest of your comment doesn't really improve from there.
You forgot the very vague email subject that instead of saying "Upcoming Price Increases", it says "An Update on Functions".
My reading is the opposite. Basically all real end-to-end UX (actual performance included) depends on a collaborative effort.

Someone mentioned that React is slow, it might take 200ms to update many elements.... and? Unless someone is making a fast-paced interactive game of DOM elements, it doesn't matter. Structuring the UX in a user friendly way matters infinitely more.

- 1060 posts in existential risk (seems like a roughly even mix of pandemics, nuclear war, and AI)

Understandable sentiment, but good luck doing it any better than what we currently have. Every technology and the assumptions it was based on is outdated pretty soon.

My point is that you don't know at the moment everything that is going to be subjectively critical for the specific issue at hand years later.

But thankfully it's not so much of an issue, storage is cheap enough these days that ALL (human generated) text can be stored. Just don't use closed platforms like Discord, and 3rd party crawlers will do it for you.

(It's a bit more complicated for multimedia : we're probably at the point that ALL pictures, except the most high-resolution ones can be stored for cheap too, not sure for audio, probably animations too (just not as gifs, for the love of God!)... it's more complicated for video, especially HD and higher, since that is very storage-intensive...)

Yes. And of course in most countries, it's not even necessary for there to be an explicit law to that effect, if the government orders a company to add a backdoor, they'll do it.
Yes, there is a dedicated question for how to do a full disk encryption:

The biggest environmental concern always cited for EVs is the source of electricity, which has a decent chance of being renewable, going forward. Fossil fuel ICEs have zero chance. They will always be dirty.

The second biggest concern is mining for the lithium used in EVs, which hopefully soon will be a much smaller concern as Sodium batteries become the norm. Again, there is a risk we could still be mining lithium in 20 years, but it's a risk rather than a certainty.

I’ve been trying to use FreeCAD for a while now and keep going back to OpenSCAD because, ironically, the FreeCAD UX feels grotesque (I used Fusion before, and have a history of 3D modeling that harks back to things like Caligari and Maya).

OpenSCAD is great for a lot of the simple electronics enclosure stuff (once you master hulls), but does need better control over 2D extrusions and sorely lacks fillets and chamfers (which are essential for proper finishing of joints and outer edges). Those have been long-standing issues that haven’t been addressed by the core project (or, as far as I know, any forks), and kind of prevent me from going all in on it (although I do use it the most, and prefer writing out the geometry to drawing it).

I have also been looking into the CAD Sketcher plug-in for Blender, which is somewhat unpolished but pretty decent for simple things, and may eventually move to that altogether—although Blender STL meshes usually need a lot of cleaning up.
There has never been a good reason for self-driving cars. Highway safety arguments are a sham, made by people who consider themselves born risk-takers. Nobody believes your hand-wringing, bros.

The rational approach to safety is to not have cars at all. Invest in rail and other public transport.

The true motivation for self-driving enthusiasm is the presumption that a self-driving car becomes part of a vast economic entertainment and information system. In other words: it’s about money.

Also I have a suspicion that billionaires are trying to craft a world where they have no need for human servants— since they are a security risk and you can’t even exploit them these days without some kind of Me Too thing getting aired on Twitter.
This is where we'll get into some super dangerous territory as a society. Questioning what truth is to make the bot seem better than it is.

"Oh what's truth anyway, did you ever know it when you saw it, where's your truth model..."

Some truth is hard won, we understand and have truths, maybe these truths only apply to us as humans to help us rationalize about the complex universe and environment we live in, but please don't discount truth so we can claim we've built a clever chat bot, because that is actually unintelligent behavior.

You won't hurt the bots feelings if you say it doesn't understand logic and reasoning. It's a bot.

While I have zero opinion (or awareness even) about erythritol, I find the tendency, especially prevalent on IT-focused HN, to deify Lowe as the herald representative of all things life-sciences to be somewhat problematic.

I too have learned lots from reading him. But that doesn't mean I don't take his pronouncements without a grain of salt. He's as subject to his profession's groupthink as anyone is to their own profession's. I co-wrote a paper challenging a consequential assumption he propagated back in 2020. Explainer version:

Competition forces companies to optimise for the average/majority consumer preferences. The reality is that most of the user hostile features we talk about here on HN - vendor lock-in, non-repairability, monetisation of data, etc - are not important to most consumers, who value low cost and convenience above all else.

This reminds me about the copy protection I once developed for the Atari ST.
The Atari ST had a proper floppy disk controller from Western Digital.
They never changed a bit about the WD controller. You could rely on its characteristics.
My Schrodinger's cat of copy protection for the Atari ST needed a new, never formatted disk, that gave different track reading data every time you read it to start with.
I produced some hundred pseudo random bytes carefully avoiding the magic sync bit sequence to init the read circuit of the controller.
At the end of the pseudo random bytes where exact one controller sync sequence following a 32 bit serial number. Than I wrote them as track data.
But I exactly timed the write track command and terminated it in the middle of execution to keep the random state of the rest of the floppy track.
When you than read the track you got every time different data, except that 32 bit serial number.
It worked very reliable.
Even if a floppy disk had read errors and you could not read the directory or the program data any more, the copy protection worked still reliable.
It was the only floppy disk copy protection for the Atari ST that could never be copied. :)

Customer is king indeed but why they expect/want to use latest boost if their infra is old? Use the latest version your infra supports, simple!
Wild guess: It was commited only 1 day ago, this is considered initial support and need to be tested, previous openbsd users are used to drop to a shell and set it manually and thus might have already encrypted the disk when they reach that step.
Microsoft also seem keen to deprecate two other simple Windows applications - Paint (being replaced with "Paint 3D") and Snipping Tool (to be replaced with "Snip & Sketch"). I don't understand it, it feels like they've started with the question "ok what if we replaced $tool?" rather than "what does $tool need to do?"

That puts things in a more clear context for me. Thank you for your reply.
The US doesn't have a problem with net neutrality, they have a problem with monopolies.

as you all know, net neutrality means that all traffic is given equal access. but that is an obscure concept to anyone outside of tech. What consumers want is fast cheap & reliable broadband(that they can actually buy).

In Europe, if your ISP is shite, then you change ISP to a better one. This has driven down the price of broadband, and with some cash injections from governments, increased the speed from 512k to at least 20meg in most places(with most suburban places having access to 500meg).

Not only that, but ISPs bundle "free" access to things like netflix, which doesn't count against a cap (if you have one).

In the US, if you're lucky you have a choice of two ISPs. They are both shite, and both don't bother competing, apart from being more and more shite to you. Despite the FCC's bundling rules, there is no practical way to operate a virtual ISP on resold copper/fibre/coax.

So if I was to create a new campaign, it wouldn't be for net neutrality, it would be called "American Competitive Internet" with some nonsense about making america better by going back to what made it strong: competition. Then enforce reasonable resale rates, so that virtual ISPs can be a thing. second I would enforce rules that mean you can only charge for transit, not peering (with caveats)
C or C++ threads on HN are often not about something great. Recend thread on SHA-3 vulnerabilities as example [0]. If security standards providers fail to write secure C code where does this put average Joe?

I mean the whole 'pride' threads of people who 'enjoy writing C' or C++ look as strange on HN as Rust brigading. Its funny how there is no C or C++ pride thread on a day when vulnerabilities hit frontpage.

PS. I have never wrote a line of Rust in my life. 20+ years of C++ work.

Encryption doesn't necessarily make a system more secure. For many normal desktop users data integrity is more important than full-disk encryption. Data integrity and encryption are principally opposed to each other and create a trade-off. Encryption adds many additional points of failure and makes data recovery hard, sometimes even impossible. I would recommend full-disk encryption for most laptop users who carry their laptop with them, though.

Yeah, I use the Python REPL for any quick calculations - it's usually already open, it's fast and it is more flexible. I still think the default calculator should be quick and functional for those of us who don't do developer things.
I think/assume OpenBSD is mainly used as a server OS. Yes, passionate people use it as a desktop but those mostly read the FAQ anyway.

Currently and as far as I know, bioctl does only support user typed in passwords or key disks. You certainly want also encrypted disks on your server but requiring user typed in password is oftentimes a no-go (think of various firewall appliances doing a reboot and not having remote hands). A compensation can be the key disk but I don’t know how widely that is used.

Hardware bound encryption like with a TPM is not supported. Also Linux is still exploring here as far as I can tell (no installer offers that).

In sum: I think disk encryption in the current form is not a tradeoff many installations will take.
How they value unborn future lives also veers into absurdity when you realize that the logical goal from a utilitarian perspective then is to populate the universe with trillions upon trillions of humans, just as long as each human at least has some infinitesimally small net happiness. You don't need them to be particularly happy, just happy enough to barely not want to kill themselves.

I think I'd rather prioritize making the billions on earth we have right now very happy instead.

How does this work with anti competition?

The Sherman Antitrust Act would prohibit printer manufacturers from engaging in anti-competitive practices such as locking out third-party printer cartridges. Under the law, monopolistic or anti-competitive practices are illegal and may be subject to government enforcement.

To quote the sherman act
"Every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, is declared to be illegal" (Shermanj Antitrust Act, 15 U.S.C.A. § 1).
