This looks quite interesting with big names behind it.

I'd love to see a comparison vs Julia though, which I think tried to tackle some of the same problems.
So... did they reinvent Julia? (but with more of a python syntax)

> (up to and including ‘relying on a Chrome.exe process name’, like, come on)

I would bet this is an application shim of some sort. Hardcoding behavior like this into the shell is risky. Shims often target based on process name and executable path on disk (but can be configured to also match resource info).

I would dig into it, but I cannot repro the issue on Win10.
Qwik is really interesting. Initially the page is rendered server-side, then sent to the page. But what happens is very unlike most we apps, which then have to re-run most of the app to hydrate:

> Qwik is different because it does not require hydration to resume an application on the client. Not requiring hydration is what makes the Qwik application startup instantaneous.

> All other frameworks' hydration replays all the application logic in the client. Qwik instead pauses execution in the server, and resumes execution in the client.

It stores state in the DOM tree in a way that lets it "resume" running. If you click a link, a top level handler can recurse down the page to find listeners. It can gather any extra state & on the fly spin up components needed by the handler.

In general I think the topic of serializing & exposing application state is a vast untapped trove of awesomeness that compsci could be mining. 9p is the best reflection we have. But we also see a steady stream of git-based data projects coming out, that also reflect the value of serializing your state in a valuable way.

The twist here of using serialized app state, baked into the DOM, to allow instant resumability is awesome. On-demand paging back in state is like live migrating a vm or user process, just an awesome feat that redefines the computing model in such a more open way.

Congrats on your 1.0!

Have you been on the App Store lately? macOS and iOS are relatively clean, but the most apps in the stores are out to get you.
Yeah it's on my to-try list! Especially because it has native support for single file scripts with dependencies.

How many of the issues in this post does it solve? Or is it basically the same?
I support the education driven approach, but I still think there is room for content filtering. In the next few years, I hope turning on suite of content rules across platforms will mitigate explicit material from automatically being included in normal content feeds and prevent casual searches for porn. I have no expectations that blocking material from enterprising children will be effective and consider it a more of a parenting strategy failure anyway.
> reactionary gender normative compatriots

Conceptually, this isn't really an accurate depiction. Many who are critical of the belief system of gender identity are also very much against the imposition of gender norms, and will argue against transgenderism on that basis.
Non consistent databases is how i’d call these chat toys. We made software to get accurate results but now they want to sell us the idea that a system that consistently produces inaccurate results is good … because it “hallucinates” just like hoomans. As if that’s what we needed from machines in the first place, to mimics our limitations.

We produce vertically aligned on-prem private cloud appliance. We design the hardware (motherboard, BMC, etc) and write the software (obviously integrating open source components where it makes sense eg. KVM, but also writing our own). Everything comes from a single vendor - us. The result is a cloud-like experience with no finger pointing and no shoe-horning as it was all built to work together.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll make a note to have a better less marketing-y blurb for next time.
I would argue the opposite: their core product is great, best in market. However, due to the browser landscape, your core product is virtually WORTHLESS. Every browser does just enough right to be interchangeable, so unless you are drastically taking a new approach to browsing in general (and your brand), you have zero chance in hell without being able to leverage your own hardware/added services.
I was thinking about Julia too. I guess they will try to make it reasonably compatible with Python directly making rewrites easier than Julia?

Edit: just saw this is a project by Chris Latner and Tim Davis. Hahaha ... that's immediate credibility.
The total tax where I live varies from about 27% to about 33%. The tax seems wrong sometimes based on percent alone, part of the regulation involves charging the tax amount based on the average sale price for a product. So, you may be getting a discount on your purchase but you might be paying tax on a higher price based on the average selling price. Weird to be sure.

So exactly how is “engaging politically” going to help when the majority viewpoint is already ignored because they know they can just appealed to their gerrymandered system?

As far as what the state can do. Again as a parent, when my children were minors, we chose trusted family members to be their guardian. If that wasn’t an option, we would have chosen friends.

No matter how you feel about the abortion issue for instance, even in conservative states, the majority of people don’t want more restrictions as proven by recent ballot initiatives, yet the politicians are still passing laws.

In my home state (Florida) the government is wasting all kinds of taxpayer money going after Disney and out of the list of things Florida and especially my city (Orlando) cares about is that Disney spoke out against a policy.
>What advantages do fountain pens still have over modern gel ballpoints?

Bragging points, perhaps: Aside from the hipster cred (see also: straight razors and pricey shaving products) there is the fact that you have the disposable income to drop hundreds of dollars on this tech. Otherwise there are modern ways to write that I think are superior, and the wide use of other tech suggests that the vast majority have moved on.

It’s perfectly possible to limit the state to only specific areas, we don’t let it set up arranged marriages for example.

As to that specific example, I trust my own judgment for who my kids would be reared by more than I trust a bureaucrat with the same role.
Fair point, but we find it useful to have a few clusters: SSE4, AVX2 (Haswell), Skylake, newer AVX-512 Icelake/Zen4. That's still manageable, we're just compiling the SIMD parts 4 times and binary size impact is very modest (we're not replicating the entire binary).
Maybe this is misguided cheat, but couldn't you map any real number (between 0 and 1) to a natural number by mirroring the decimal digits across the decimal point. So 0.123 -> 321, but also sqrt(2)/2 -> ?601707 where ? is the rest of the decimal representation. This creates infinitely large numbers, but it's still a 1-to-1 mapping.

Securitized regions like XinJiang will occasionally lock phones (including foreigners) with VPN installed, need to goto police station to unlock phone after uninstalling VPN apps. That's basically hardcore VPN/GFW enforcement mode.

Broadly PRC GFW is functionally VPN paywall for foreign content so most PRC nationals default to consuming media/narratives within the wall. TBH, apart from dissidents, researchers etc, in my experience, very few VPN users jump wall for foreign news, like exposure might be incidental due to being shared on timeline, but most PRC nationals jump wall for porn, business and lols. Plenty of foreign news gets filtered to domestic PRC net via diasphora who reverse VPN and post content back into PRC net - lots of foreign/western "propaganda" makes it's way in PRC, it's just rate limited to point where influence is limited, or censored if it ever gets legs.

In terms of regulations: VPN allowed for commerce, enforcement mostly against businesses who don't register/get approval using sanctioned VPNs. Individuals _generally_ free to use - there aren't clear laws yet against individual use, currently regulations target operators. 99% of VPN enforcement is at this level. Few individuals (outside XinJiang/Tibet) and no foreigners as far as I'm aware of have gotten in shit for VPN. For nationals who got in shit, it's what they do with VPN (coordinating with foreign forces etc), not use itself.

>Countries like India export this poverty in many industries around the world and here in the US it's IT Industry.

This is very harmful thinking and sounds like what the former president said about the country to the south of the border. Countries don't sit around and send or export people or goods, or they won't even be able to board the aircraft or carrier. Even if they do they get sent back at the port of entry. A US company has to apply for a visa and the US government has to approve it before anyone even thinks of buying a ticket.

Attitudes like yours are the reason that workers who are just trying to make a living get punished along with their families while the companies and fatcats that profit off them go scot free.

maybe it is easier to go through actual verified information than to double check everything an AI says.

I only use LLMs to restate information that I can half piece together so I can remember the missing bits (like a math proof or derivation), or to point me to recommendations of actual resources. And even those two things i am very wary off.

You're spot on.

TKey is based on ideas like TPM and DICE. Think of TKey as a TPM-in-time, and a discrete TPM on an x86 mainboard as a TPM-in-space. Both go through the load-hash-measure-trust/execute steps, but TKey only needs one hardware domain to accomplish this whereas a discrete TPM needs two.

Measurements and their results need to be computed in a context that can't be subverted by the object that is being measured. In the discrete-TPM case the host loads and hashes the object and then sends it to the TPM before letting the object influence the host's control flow.

The only difference in the TKey case is that instead of sending the hash to a TPM the TKey derives key material based on Hash(sk, Hash(object)) and then removes sk from RAM. This is roughly equivalent to TPM sealing.

The TKey equivalent of TPM quoting/attestation would involve a signing step using sk, and leaving the resulting certificate in RAM before letting the object influence control flow. A downside to this approach is that each measurement creates another level in a PKI-like structure. If you do the same thing with a discrete TPM you can do multiple measurements and still only have one signature attesting all of them.
Another idea: remove all chairs from airplanes. Destroying the planet should not be comfortable.

This doesn't sound right. While pornography certainly has impacts on immature minds (kids or young adults), I suspect it's rather in a completely opposite area than you've pointed out - like teenage pregnancies or kids engaging in various inappropriate sexual behaviors.

I'm no expert, but I'd say incels' social ineptitude seem to come from personality traits and [mis]expectations that aren't that frequently portrayed in pornography. I'd say it's various media with unrealistic portrayal of romantic relationships that should be attributed (and that's typically not porn). And, obviously, strong meme-affirming effects of echo chambers, the bane of our times, but that's a whole different topic.

I don't believe your last statement either. Where - except for anti-porn propaganda statements - have you seen any large adult industry corporation intentionally targeting children? The article in question clearly indicates that virtually everyone in that whole industry want kids to stay away from their businesses, because they only cause trouble. If someone invents a way to keep kids off the porn sites without having any negative impact on adult audience, I'm sure they're gonna celebrate that person as a savior of the industry. Those companies surely have put a blind eye to the problem, but I find the claim of adult industry actually targeting children to be outrageous.

What makes me thing so is that I highly doubt the incentive. On the contrary, there's at least one very cynical reason to still say there isn't such incentive: kids aren't paying. Parents may tolerate them spending money on some in-game cosmetics, but surely they won't approve if they spot a porn purchase on a statement. Porn companies have enough problems making profits from adults, so them considering kids as a target audience sounds insane not just from a moral standpoint but from a business perspective as well.
I'd love to stop believing in it but it's destroyed a large part of my life.

The issue with defining it as an addiction is more of a question of separating from other compulsive issues than not recognising the compulsive issues of the thing itself.

Historic tidbit: Mozilla had a slew of "internal" prefixes to be used in their UI and extensions, but Apple really broke new ground and made them mainstream when the iPhone came out and really needed CSS to be useful. That's when stuff like -webkit-transition` and the fabulous `-webkit-box-reflect` were pushed out without waiting for anyone.

-ms- wasn't really a thing until IE10 if I remember correctly, when they started prefixing their own IE5-era properties like the DirectX-based `filter` [citation needed]

Yes, “we’ve found no wrongdoing.”

The page does mention the canadian case and european fallout (though that with conflicting language).

Your premise is faulty however—that something does not exist because there’s not a court case.

- Of course warrants are rubber stamped.

I am not saying that is always indicative of execution but I don't think Mozilla has any indicative of good execution? Hey, they invented a new programming language to reengineer the browser.

IMHO there is a room for innovation in this space, long term but you can see if this happenning observing the project. Currently browser engines are one of the most complex pieces of software. There are new ways to attack these mammoths.
