What are the things we know will work? If it hurts business or can be framed as a left vs right issue in any way, it has no chance of making any progress in the near future. US politics would need to be fixed first.

While we wait for the public to become more rational and for politicians to focus less on themselves and more on serving, we might as well throw a little money at stuff like carbon capture.

If a company has a million dollars in revenue and spends a million dollars on the salaries of software developers, how much tax do you think they should pay in that year?

1,000,000 Revenue
- 1,000,000 Salary expense
-----------
0 Profit

If you said "no taxes!" we're on the same page. The new law would instead work like this:

1,000,000 Revenue
- 200,000 1/5th Salary expense
-----------
800,000 Profit

Now the company must pay taxes on 800,000 of profit, because "R&D salaries," which includes software devs, must be amortized over five years.
Times change and friends change. As an adult, I also view ending friendships in a similar manner. Some friendships burn bright others simmer, but the latter group seems to always lead to more sustainable long-term friendships.

Interestingly, college friends who I no longer live near are my most sustainable and closest friends. I still largely believe that the strength of a friendship is largely a function of how long you spent with that person, via your own volition involved in a mutual struggle.

This is why IMO making friends as an adult is hard, because you're either forced to be around them at work (and work relationships are notoriously transactional / forced) or generally if you meet a mutual friend you're trading on some kind of mutual similarity in work / hobbies or because they offer you something in return.

For now, I'll keep living where I want. Who ever wrote this seems to have never lived with a friend as a roommate only to realize that spending too much time with a friend can lead to resentment or the end of the friendship entirely.
In Caddy we've implemented "dynamic upstream modules" which allow an arbitrary (compiled-in) plugin to give the reverse proxy a list of upstreams that can take the request. A pull-based mechanism could relatively easily be constructed with this feature: https://caddyserver.com/docs/json/apps/http/servers/routes/h...

I could imagine a dynamic upstream module that receives UDP or TCP packets from backends with a number estimating how many connections it can handle at that time. The module then tells the reverse proxy which upstream has the highest number and the reverse proxy selects it.
Yes, I will be doing that. But thought I will ask the wider community here before proceeding. It will help me avoid problems others have faced.
Perhaps a lot of people in this discussion are forgetting Starfleet regulation 46A.
If you want to socialize and meet people, its a good idea to get involved in shared athletic activity:

* martial arts (MMA, BJJ, even krav maga)

* crossfit [1]

* cycling (mountain biking, road cycling)

* volleyball or surfing if you're by a beach

* even a pick up basketball game

In my opinion, doing something athletic as a group should be a mandate for everyone. There are too many benefits, physically and spiritually.

If you are hesitant or if you find yourself having a negative reaction to what I am saying, I would encourage you to contemplate why you may be thinking that.

If you are worried you are not athletic enough and feel emberrased, do not think that for a moment. I was the same - I am horribly uncoordinated and I still do stuff.

I actually agree with Armstrong here - the SEC has had plenty of time to assess the market for crypto products and offer clear rules...it almost feels like the indecisiveness is an intentional policy used to cow the industry.

There's a lot of systems that are simpler, easier, and in my personal opinion, more fun than d&d. For example, FATE. The star wars RPG is pretty good too. Tabletop games can also vary a lot in quality depending on the group and the GM.

Would help if the comment expanded on what a Shufflecake is. For anyone else reading this, apparently it's "plausible deniability for multiple hidden filesystems on Linux."

More: Shufflecake is made of two components: dm-sflc, which is a kernel module implementing the Shufflecake scheme as a device-mapper target for the Linux kernel, and shufflecake-userland, which is a command-line tool allowing the user to create and manage hidden volumes. The kernel module must be loaded before using the userland tool.
I don't really understand the objection here. Must we couch everything with "of course in the grand scheme of the world and poverty and famine it isn't a big deal, but..."
Pre-covid, I did this for about nine years. Trivia night at a local bar. The meeting even survived the closing of the original bar; we just moved to a different bar. However the size of the group did shrink over time, mainly coinciding with several members meeting other people and so not being single any longer. Since covid there's only been the occasional get-together, since not enough of the remaining members are willing to do something regular.

Critics worry that colleges will fill with cases in which campus boards convict young men (and, occasionally, young women) of sexual assault for genuinely ambiguous situations. Sadly, that's necessary for the law's success. It's those cases — particularly the ones that feel genuinely unclear and maybe even unfair, the ones that become lore in frats and cautionary tales that fathers e-mail to their sons — that will convince men that they better Be Pretty Damn Sure.

> IMO, the real tragedy here is not some threat to Drake (he’ll be fine) but that some dude who wrote an original song had to pretend it was written by AI to get it heard.

The lyrics are semi-auto-biographical about The Weeknd and Drake. The guy who wrote this didn't date Selena Gomez. It's pretty uninteresting as a song if it's not from The Weeknd and Drake.
Staying under 1.5 is a fantasy.

If we want to stay under 3 we’d better get some real effort behind ending coal as soon as possible.

While it is possible to do more than one thing at a time, our politicians are trying to plug a leak while ignoring a giant gaping hole just around the corner. It’s like they’re incompetent morons or something.
That's one way of looking at it.

The other way of looking at it is that everyone who went to the SEC and asked them if they could do something was told absolutely not. The people who didn't ask seemed to be getting away with it. So everyone stopped asking. However that didn't change the facts of the situation.

At some point even the mightiest ostrich must get rekt.
(I put this in a reply further down, but bringing it to the top)

Previously if a company has a million dollars in revenue and spends a million dollars on the salaries of software developers, this is how their taxable income might look:

1,000,000 Revenue
- 1,000,000 Salary expense
-----------
0 Profit

The new law would instead work like this:

1,000,000 Revenue
- 200,000 1/5th Salary expense
-----------
800,000 Profit

Now the company must pay taxes on 800,000 of profit because "R&D salaries," which includes software devs, must be amortized over five years. Obviously the company has no wherewithal to pay, given that they made a million and spent a million. That's the problem.
The creator of LUKS has a few words around this on Reddit. This appears to be a non-story unless you're not practicing best proper password management

Clemens Fruhwirth here. I am the inventor of LUKS.

A random keyboard typable character gives you around 6 bits of entropy. 20 of those give you 120 bits of entropy. Even without a KDF, brute-forcing this key space is infeasible with today's hardware. Even with PBKDF2, a 13-character password should be enough to keep your data secure for your lifetime.[1]

It is much more likely that there was some security failure in the linked case other than PBKDF2. That said, I support the upgrade to Argon2.

[1] In my thesis on LUKS, Chapter 5.3 Passwords from entropy weak sources anticipates the creation of specialized hardware for breaking PBKDF2. The "13 characters should be enough" advice is found on Page 86, Table 5.4, top left cell. It gives a 78-bit recommendation (=13 characters) in the worst-case scenario, which is Moore's law continues to double the attacker speed every 2 years.

Just because you claim something is a currency, doesn't make it one, especially if it doesn't even exhibit the properties of a currency.

But the question of what is a "security" has been clearly answered in 1946:

> For purposes of the Securities Act, an investment contract (undefined by the Act) means a contract, transaction, or scheme whereby a person invests his money in a common enterprise and is led to expect profits solely from the efforts of the promoter or a third party, it being immaterial whether the shares in the enterprise are evidenced by formal certificates or by nominal interests in the physical assets employed in the enterprise.

A lot of these coins are attached to some such scheme by a 3rd party, therefore they should be considered securities. This may even apply to most NFTs.

I was an extremely active kid, biking everywhere until the street lights came on pretty much every day.

The helmet safety panic really crushed a lot of my enjoyment of life. Made riding a bike utterly miserable for me - both socially with my peer group at the time, as well as it being massively uncomfortable to wear. Not to mention getting in trouble dozens of times for leaving it at whatever location.

I usually would end up biking outside sight distance of the parents and ditch it under a bush for later retrieval. But once this rule was enforced on me, my biking was severely curtailed as it didn't have the same simple joy of freedom it had beforehand.
You know, if you don’t understand something, it’s totally fine to not immediately comment with whatever your political instincts tell you something might mean.

Or perhaps you have some fresh insight on how the Section 174’s changes (only passed to make the 2017 tax bill revenue neutral) on amortization rules meaning only being able to deduct 20% of salaries in the year paid is in fact totally fair and how maybe all salary deductions should work like this?

The other part of the definition is that it can be easily bought and sold on an exchange. I think if there were an exchange for physical gold then it would be considered a security.
Because I value living in a society where people aren't free to victimize others more than I value that person being free from arrest or other violence.
This is the crux of the endless argument. People speculate on currencies via Forex, are those securities? Is oil a security? People buy into oil, gold, etc hoping to sell later for a profit. Both the CFTC and SEC have claimed they have purview over crypto and there has been absolutely no clarity from lawmakers on it.
It's astonishing to me that some people are so incredibly anti-AI that they will side with the RIAA of all organizations. People who are fine with piracy now start acting as if copyright and IP are the most important things ever.

Recording your music to any level of quality they would play on the radio back then was expensive. It was really time consuming to lay down tracks and edit them. Like manually cutting tape, etc. Today anyone can make a professional sounding recording at home.
One one hand, this is mostly for legacy purpose, like OS 2200 for the current Dorados (Univac 1100), Z/OS for the IBM 360/390/Z line, or GECOS on some Bull/GE hardware, all originating from the early 60s and still alive nowadays. Heck, you can even still find TOPS-20 running on some network gear.

On the other hand, VAX is pretty much dead by now and I don't think VMS really was a thing on x86.

The definition of a security is found in the application of the Howey test. The SEC has a nice long explanation of how you apply Howey to crypto. Basically every token is a security. Always has been. With the possible exception of Bitcoin due to the way it was initially distributed. [1]

Even companies that don't take R&D credits (which is a benefit which can be fudged) are still forced to treat software development expenses as R&E subject to 5 year amortization. Companies have no choice in that matter (see https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/174 (c)(3))
'once and only once' anything is hard, including connection oriented designs, also sync calls can fail in quite similar ways as async calls as per FLP/CAP

the truth is that sync calls (in normal aws + k8s example) have like 50 queues between the user's kernel and your program actually doing the work, just considering the listen(2) queues, and the network card queues, and the reality is that every one of them can just drop packets on the floor whenever it wants

so in reality, network programming is hard, and even sync things are just a collection of many async pieces from the network card to the userspace

The story about RMS on the airplane is just an ad hominem and has nothing to do with his opinions on software freedom.

> Some of the software which is fetched and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.

They could choose to not put such software in their ports tree.

> Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official GNU software — including Emacs — compiles and runs on Windows.

There's a big difference between making free software support a non-free system and distributing non-free software.

> Rule 1: You cannot sell your code! Rule 2: You must give it only to me

Straw man. The GPL doesn't have anything even resembling either of those rules.

> You cannot give your code away

This is clearly completely absurd and not required by any free license.
> I thought the key takeaway is that nonlinearity is important. Multilayer perceptrons can be collapsed into an equivalent single layer if there isn't nonlinearity thrown in. multi-input XOR can be solved using a form of sin(x) function after summing in a single layer (sin squared if you don't like negative numbers).

Some element of this is used in this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.12172.pdf

More broadly, as I've alluded to in other replies, XOR is not the problem in itself, but illustrates a bigger problem.

Yes, non-linearities can solve problems, but one hidden layer and the wrong non-linearity (sigmoid instead of sin in this case) may not. Which leads us to the question: What do we include in the broad set we label "non-linearities"? All Turing-complete functions? (This issue is alluded to here: https://direct.mit.edu/tacl/article/doi/10.1162/tacl_a_00493...)

Then we're back to analysing the computability of a given non-linearity, which in itself has multiple steps of iteration. It's turtles all the way down.
Well...of course? If I pretend my blog post is written by Bill Gates, more people will read it. This is basic human nature.

> if WebAssembly really works well, why are efforts like WebCodecs needed at all?

The answer is pretty straightforward.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebCodecs_A...

> Many Web APIs use media codecs internally. For example, the Web Audio API, and the WebRTC API. However these APIs do not allow developers to work with individual frames of a video stream and unmixed chunks of encoded audio or video.

> Web developers have typically used WebAssembly in order to get around this limitation, and to work with media codecs in the browser. However, this requires additional bandwidth to download codecs that already exist in the browser, reducing performance and power efficiency, and adding additional development overhead.
Yeah that could possibly be it. If I run into again I could try clearing caches. And also wanted to mention that since firefox is what I use daily, of course I will mainly see issues there.

If I used chrome daily perhaps I would see the opposite (broken on chrome, works on firefox).

I get the same feel from DuckDuckGo. I use it, till it doesn't work, then switch to google when it doesn't. Of course google would perform better, as I only use it for the cases where DDG fails.

No script needed:

chmod ugo+rwX . -R

(This is for GNU chmod like in Linux, BSD will be slightly different)

Of course, that's not exactly what you asked for (it's better, read the chmod man page: X applies executable only to directories) but you could just replace ugo+rwX with 777 or 0777.
