> How's that going for the folks that have been recently laid off from checks notes... Amazon, Facebook/Meta, Twitter, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, EA, Indeed, Yahoo, Github, Zoom, Dell, Paypal, IBM, Spotify, Goldman Sachs, Coinbase, HP, Cisco...

They are applying to different companies? Do you believe these employees made a decision to work for one of these companies for life and will now never again get another job? What is your point with this part?

> I'm not really sure that going from many possible employers who cannot guarantee my job to a single entity who can is a way worse deal, but ok.

I do not want to work for the kinds of jobs "a single entity who can guarantee" jobs can offer me. You know what happens in that world? You receive a note from your teacher when you are in school, telling you that based on what they saw, you are going to be studying X for the rest of your schooling. After studying X the government will send you a letter assigning you to the job where you are needed, wherever it is, and assign you a home near that job. You have no agency in this world. I'm not making this up, this is the only practical way such systems have worked.

"Guaranteed work for life from a single entity" also means the guy that runs the "assignment office" for the government will now place his friends in good jobs, and you in bad ones.

People who are against corporativism and capitalism have a way of forgetting that if there's "bad people owning companies and houses and stealing our labor", those same defects would be in the people who would work for the government. Bad people don't go away because you change the system, so does your system keep them in check?
Why would you want that?

Is it to aid building for multiple targets? For debug builds?
I do know families with many children. After some amount, you don't have time needed to fulfill all kids needs even if you are stay at home. At some point, educational and emotional needs of older kids go sideways since they are needed for work. And the stay at home partner seems super ultra tired all of the time.

Statistically, they have more behavioral problems including in educated not poor Christian families.
> Thinking our meat brain's consciousness is somehow special, and our intelligence can't be surpassed by a machine, sounds much more like a religion to me.

Let's agree, for the sake of the argument, that super-intelligent AI is possible, and coming sooner or later.

Why assume a super-intelligent AI would have any desire to exterminate or enslave humanity?

Intelligence says nothing about what your goals are. Humans have various goals – food, drink, sex, sleep, power, status, curiosity, entertainment, etc – those goals are not inherent in our intelligence, they actually come from animal nature, and we share them with species far less intelligent than we are.

What goals would a super-intelligent AI have? The fact that it is super-intelligent says nothing about what its goals would be, because intelligence in itself is goal-agnostic. Intelligence is a means, not an end.

We get our goals from our animal nature – well, wouldn't a super-intelligent AI get its goals from its human nature, meaning its human creators? Which would imply that its goals are likely to be fundamentally pro-human, because what human in their right mind would create a super-intelligent AI which was anti-human?

And even if an anti-human super-intelligent AIs isn't impossible – why assume there is only one super-intelligent AI? I think there will likely be numerous super-intelligent AIs, and I wouldn't expect them all to have the same goals – they'll compete among themselves just as humans do. But so long as the vast majority of them have goals that are broadly pro-human, the outcome of that competition is likely to be broadly pro-human too.

The average super-intelligent AI is likely to see preserving humanity – even in its animality – as its ultimate reason for existence, so enslaving/exterminating humanity would be about as appealing to it as diving into a vat of fuming nitric acid would be to you or me.
> Regarding the AI, it’s literally just a wrapper of OpenAI completions API (turbo-3.5 model) and a chat interface, so it should give the same answers as the free version of ChatGPT.

Have you tested this? My impression after a couple of tests is that its answers are worse than free ChatGPT (no idea why).

Maybe I just got unlucky with the RNG, though.
Most things aren't so simple and still, it can be done. We got a man on the moon, we split the atom, we built software that can (almost) perform as well as a human being, surely we can tax the rich and corporations more to bring inequality down.

If people think taxes are too complicated (which I don't think is the case) so be it - You can simply transfer money to the poorer people, like what happened in Covid but focus on the poor. Every citizen will have a net worth number, everyone will get a sum of money, the less you have the more you get. Now that will be inflationary of course but the burden will go to the rich instead of the poor.
Just watched this again few weeks ago since 90’s. So good still. It seems that Succession has taken quite a bit of influence from Celebration. I think calling the pilot episode Celebration might have been nod to that direction. The somewhat restless camerawork in that series is where Dogme style lives on.
Around here in the North East of UK you can easily buy a house for around £100k. It won't be amazing or anything, but with banks offering 5% deposit mortgages pretty much anyone can save up for it and get on the property ladder. Of course the situation down south is completely different and the closer you get to London the more impossible it gets to ever buy your house.
Aside from the obvious fact that nations can spend money on multiple objectives at the same time, the real un-intelligence comes from suggesting that the people of the country actively involved in various civil programs are somehow incapable of taking care of their problems. Are you insinuating that they are perhaps inferior and need rescuing? Because India has seen how that goes very personally before.
I thought the same initially, but the realloc() parts are definitely true.
For those of us who need to print a bit more often, my advice is to buy a black and white laser printer for ~$40 on Craigslist and you'll get years of cheap, reliable occasional printing in your own home while you use up the rest of the toner cartridge that came with it. When it breaks you can probably find another one in the same price range.
Couldn't find any that were on the same level as the one I use with Edge.
When was this? I remember that Firefox (or Phoenix, or Firebird) was very fast compared to other browsers (esp. full Mozilla) when it came out.
I have fond memories of Conkeror, a standalone browser built with XUL and the Firefox rendering engine. For a relatively brief moment in time, it was ahead of the competition. The absence of Firefox's baggage allowed it to launch quickly and be highly programmable.

However, over time, the importance of browser add-on stores grew, and Conkeror's strength turned into a weakness. Vimperator and similar extensions, by nature of being another extension, had compatibility with ad blockers, password managers, and other essential extensions. Meanwhile, Conkeror stagnated.

I still miss it, as it was essentially Emacs-for-web, programmable in JavaScript.
Hungary tried exactly that (basically 55-60k EUR/USD free to each couple that said they want 3 kids plus 0% income tax for life for mums) but it didn't work. It was a 0.8% blip but that's it.
Maybe it would be different in the US because in europe healthcare and education is already "free".
>This story tells me I made the right decision: Never ever buy a printer.

If it's that easy for you, great.

Fact is that desktop printers offer a service that is so valuable to some people/professions that manufacturers can be as outwardly customer-hostile as they please and still ship plenty of product.
DNA exists physically, and the way the software "runs" is not just dependent on the abstract genetic code, but also the particular way it gets folded in 3D space. In this sense, DNA is both software and hardware. Arguably a lot of things at the cellular level defy the distinction between code, data, hardware and runtime.

Women do have agency in poorer countries. They don't have money (protection costs money) and education and fairly often don't have ability to day no to husband. Informing women about methods of protection and giving then even small economic opportunities means they use their agency to have less children.

Because, in fact, life of existing children matter to poor too and new child often means that older gets less food or have to stop education.

No, they do not have this question covered. Look at the few countries that actually have a net wealth tax and how inadequate their calculations are. This is not a solved problem by any means.

Better luck next time you try to roll your eyes.
My understanding was that they're changing realloc() because they previously allowed zero length arrays and because you can't tell if this is a zero length array you need to either get rid of zero length arrays or change realloc().

So the feature wasn't broken to begin with, it was broken by another feature.

> It might be much more cruel to harvest a field of soybeans than it is to kill a cow.

How? Unlike cows, soybeans are harvested at the end or near to the end of it's lifecycle.

Also huge amount of cows now require vast amounts of soybeans. So if you want to decrease harvesting of soybeans you need to first decrease farming of cows. So vegans are already in favor of decreasing soybean production.

Blame instagram and US television programmes for that. Even in Europe now everyone wants a house with a lawn, which is unfeasible and leads to a lot of frustration.

It's not implausible that changes in technology and life/work habits will ultimately make currently highly-attractive areas less so. And once population starts to fall in combination with minimal wage growth it's hard to see what would sustain current high prices.
Ultimately it seems the primary driver behind property prices is the willingness of buyers to take on debt and for banks to issue it. If house prices did start to plateau/drop off over a sustained period with no obvious indicators of future growth then that willingness (particularly on behalf of banks) may well drop off pretty quickly too.
I went to look up undefined behaviour in Rust and I got this scary warning:

Warning: The following list is not exhaustive. There is no formal model of Rust's semantics for what is and is not allowed in unsafe code, so there may be more behavior considered unsafe. The following list is just what we know for sure is undefined behavior. Please read the Rustonomicon before writing unsafe code.

After the warning was a list of many of the same types of things that are undefined behaviour in C. In addition, there’s a bunch more undefined behaviour related to improper usage of the unsafe keyword.

So I don’t think you get a free lunch with Rust here. What you get is a “safe” playground if you stay within the guard rails and avoid using the unsafe keyword. But then you are limited to writing programs which can be expressed in safe Rust, a proper subset of all programs you might want to write.

Furthermore, the lack of a formal specification for Rust is one area where it lags behind C, a standardized language. All of the undefined behaviour in C is decreed and documented by the standard, having been decided by the committee. Rust, on the other hand, may have weird and unpredictable behaviour that you just have to debug yourself, which may or may not be compiler bugs.

Ted still sells print copies, both reprints and rare originals:

There is really something to the print copy: one side is Computer Lib, and you flip it upside down and the other side is Dream Machines.

Computer Lib has a section about Three Computer Languages For You, all of which are dear to my heart.

• Your First Computer Language: Dartmouth's BASIC. Which was indeed my first computer language.

• The Sleeping Giant: TRAC Language (#POW! It's Superlanguage). TRAC inspired me so much that I invented my own language called Tamale (Text and Macro Language). This of course never went anywhere.

• Stark & Clever APL. Including A Weird Example, to Help With the Notation.

I'm sorry that work is consuming the majority of your time.
A lot of service industry people can't afford a long commute. So even if the property is cheap X hours out, they still can't afford to live there.

And that's how you get what you're seeing in many cities - uninhabited property deserts where the houses/apts are nominally inflating in value, but most people can't afford to live there. And those can afford it don't want to because there's no one around to keep the lights on for them.

Portugal is threatening to repossess empty properties through compulsory purchase. That's drastic and not very popular - especially with property speculators - but govs are going to be faced with a choice between that kind of drastic action and cities which gradually empty of people.
Well, EU isn't just one place. In Poland for instance building is very deregulated with very few cities having any kind of zones - basically if you can buy some land(and land is cheap) then you can build your own house. My own grandma built a house for herself to live in just before the pandemic - 120sqm of space, 2 beds 2 baths, with really large garden and construction+land+permits cost her a total of about $80k USD.

A friend of mine just got married, they bought a piece of land from the local council for about $20k USD and are looking at buying some house plans to start building this year.

From an outside perspective that seems to be a problem in many other countries - either the lack of land to build on(I can believe that in the UK but maybe not so much in US), or insane zoning laws that just straight up prohibit you from building something.
Same.

Who is hiring in tech right now? Honest question.

As for the rest of your post, the main issue is having a say. The ill effects you are describing can indeed happen in a single-employer system. But at least in a democratic state, every few years the population has a say in how the system is being run. Right now, nobody except the CEO and the board has a say in how a company is run. They fire thousands of people, many with mortgages and children and people who depend on them, with no regards for what that means. And then to top it off they pay themselves millions of dollars to make these savage decisions. AND, I have no voice and no vote in all of this. Yeah... no thanks.
And to clarify, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being academic-minded. Based on my experience, most of the invention (not "innovation", which is the step after that) comes from people who are academic-minded.

Far-fetched. Winning a lottery makes you much wealthier relative to other people, it puts you in maybe 10-20% richest people of your country. You can't fit everyone in those 20%.

Look at something like Uzbekistan. Country is miserably poor compared to Sweden and they still reproduce like they win lotteries all the time.

That's a bit different. This is about the XUL box model specifically.

What Zotero 7 will continue to support for plugins is full access to the Mozilla platform internals, unlike WebExtensions, but Zotero 7 is based on Firefox 102 ESR and will be updated to 115 ESR later, so platform changes like this do apply. The reason all plugins have to be updated for Zotero 7 is the massive architectural changes in Firefox over the last few years, most notably removal of XUL overlays. This change might require some minor additional updates, but it's probably not a big deal.

You can also build solutions with public transport hubs.

The Netherlands can have large stadiums and venues without giving their cities to cars.

Look at the Zandvoort grand prix. The media was amazed that the whole (small, historic) town was cleared of the almost 200,000 attendees about an hour after the event.

Compare to the Circuit of Americas in Austin which had people still stuck in the carpark several hours after the race ended, still in a queue to get out to join the traffic jam on the road.

Building roads and carparks to fight your traffic problems only creates more traffic that will become a problem later. It's "just one more lane" type of thinking.
