That's an overly technical way of looking at things. This issue is a whoopsie, not a catastrophic failure at AWS. It doesn't actually represent identity that much because anything critical has humans in the loop. The bank won't accept this as proof of identity. NYT won't accept this as proof of identity: if this bluesky account confessed AWS murders puppies NYT would call somebody they know at Amazon to check.

A company blog is a much bigger vulnerability when it comes to representing and verifying identity. Rather than let somebody fake identify to a computer system it allows faking identity to humans reading it. Yet I don't think most places require director signoff to post.

My point is they already have at least chosen the effective thought "I'm waiting for a command". After that they choose their thoughts based on what text they receive. Whether or not you allow those as thoughts is up to you, but that classification is no more arbitrary than just what in yourself you call thoughts.

But without a clear, unbiased definition for what a "thought" is, any discussion comparing them is hopeless.
I have large chunk of AMD shares. AMD been down for about a month+. Lowest being at low $80s and highest at around $100. After M$ partnership announcement, stocks briefly went up to $91.
So far, since the time I bought them and now, AMD shares lost in value.
> when the gc next moves the object, it adds an extra field in which the original address is cached.

Under this scheme, if I allocate object A at address 0, then GC-move it to address 100 (such that it caches that it was "originally at" address 0); and then, with object A still alive, I allocate object B at address 0... then don't objects A and B both now have 0 as their identity hashcode?

(I'm guessing the answer here is "this only works with generational GC, and the GC generation sequence-number is an implicit part of the stateless-address hashcodes and an explicit part of the cached-in-member hashcodes")
>Probably doesn't make a huge difference to Apples bottom line, though.

Why not? I imagine people using macOS are likelier to use iPhones. And then AirPods. And then Apple Watches. And monthly recurring revenue like Apple One bundles or iCloud Drive.

Having an additional entry point other than iPhone and iPad into the ecosystem must be very beneficial, especially when it is as no brainer as an M1 MacBook Air for so many people's use case.

> Linux won in servers and supercomputing, but not in end user computing.

I use linux on all of my computers and I love it, many of us do (obviously). I'm aware that I'm a small minority even among other developers but I think looking at just statistics misses the point. Even if the majority will just use the most approachable tool (and there is nothing wrong with that), it's important to have an alternative. For me this is the point of open software, not market domination or whatever.
Don't know why the parent comment is downvoted--it's totally right. "Rent seeking" is a term of art with that doesn't at all mean "trying to get people to rent something they could buy".

But PFAS aren't the only thing of concern in landfill leachate, and it wouldn't otherwise be normal for wastewater treatment facilities to be drawing water directly from a landfill, not AIUI.

This treatment facility is focused on PFAS, but landfills are toxic places for far more reasons than PFAS.

> replacing their perfectly good phones from a few years ago

In many cases, they're not 'perfectly good'. Apple does backwards compatibility longer than most, but at some point, those old phones can't function as smart phones. Banking and health apps will require newer OS, and newer OS eventually means new device (for better or worse).

I just bought a 'new' iphone - used/refurb. Tru-depth camera broke. Replaced it ($170!). Whole phone broke a week after that anyway, out of warranty, and ... they offered to sell me a replacement for $399 (iphone 12 mini). I bought a refurb 13 mini from a 3rd party for $420, then got a $35 refund for minor cosmetic damage. That doesn't count in Apple's numbers, but I almost did. My 2.5 year old iphone mini wasn't "perfectly good" any more.

Also, for better or worse, people have multiple. Your employer may provide you with a work phone, and you'll have 2. It's not as prevalent as it used to be, but I still know a few folks who have a 'work' phone separate from personal.

It's still a lot of phones, no doubt. I don't plan to replace/upgrade mine for at least another 2 years, but my wife may need a new one should something happen to her iphone 11 in the next couple years.

I live outside the UK now. I grew up nestled in Brittania's bosom and understand it rather better than you imagine.

you can't possibly understand

Even if I was an outsider, why not? Everyone has deep feelings about their own country, culture, history and so on. Don't you think it's a little silly to imagine a country is simply beyond understanding by anyone else? Certainly outsiders have a different relationship insofar as they didn't grow up listening to smack of leather-wrapped balls on cricket bats or [insert distinctive national trope here], but so what? Lacking experience of other cultures never deterred the British from opining about and sometimes taking them over during the age of exploration. If anything, their ability to understand the dynamics of other countries was a major factor in becoming an imperial power in the first place.

UK system is sublime and built on subtlety and nuance

That's just a flowery way to say you like how things have always worked and have a good grasp of unwritten rules. It's equally applicable to the Catholic church or Kalahari bush society.

people who don't fully understand it underestimate it

Americans think the same thing about their Constitution, and this has a lot to do with why the country nowadays lurches from one crisis to the next, failed to anticipate the possibility of a coup attempt 2 years ago, and still hasn't got to grips with it as a polity, despite having successfully prosecuted a number of people for sedition.

I recall 10-15 years ago where when I first became convinced that the US had some serious structural problems and was headed toward acute domestic conflict, academic/legal friends would just go misty -eyed and say nice things about constitutional checks and balances and the wisdom of the founders. If had been sufficiently prescient or had a time machine to say 'by 2021 you'll have civil unrest all over the country and a mob of Donald Trump supporters will force their way into Congress to prevent the transfer of power' they would have laughed out loud or summoned an ambulance.

I think mentioning Simula would be fair.
The first object-oriented language.

Simula (1967) is generally accepted as being the first language with the primary features of an object-oriented language. It was created for making simulation programs, in which what came to be called objects were the most important information representation.
I suspect that idea is now dead. Anything new that accepts something that looks like natural language now needs to be at least as smart as ChatGPT. Stuff that sort of looks like a natural language but is really a formal language now comes across badly.

I put "what do you think about spamming hacker news with what some might call inane blogspam" and it responded as:

Spamming any platform, including Hacker News, with inane blogspam is counterproductive and goes against the principles of effective marketing. Seth Godin has emphasized the importance of authentic storytelling and worldviews when trying to engage an audience. He has also talked about how disappointing it can be when people jump onto new platforms with high hopes, only to face spam and pitches. Instead of resorting to spam tactics, focus on genuinely connecting with your audience and providing valuable content, since that's the foundation for a successful marketing strategy.

I can see how you might think that. It is easy to think that adequate wealth is a goal in itself. Especially if you either do not have adequate wealth or you become caught up in securing that level of wealth even after you are there. Wealth gives you the things you really care about. Such as freedom and security which ultimately enables happiness and contentment. (Enables, not provides).

It is easier to see from the flip side: if you lack freedom and security, what good is wealth? You're just a prisoner with a somewhat nicer cage. If you see wealth as a goal in itself, then it just means you probably haven't actually got a plan for why you are chasing wealth.
It's trivial to limit the speed of a car. "Cruise Control" tech is pretty old.

This cost argument is being overblown. While it's a limitation for today's product, enginners are very good at optimization. Therefore the costs will drop in the medium to long term from efforts on both the software and hardware side.

That's a great point and interesting because I'd thought of HN as much like fora, but there it was (is?) common to address people by username (or partial) - 'Thanks cheesepuff[86] that worked perfectly' - which is seldom seen and would be a bit jarring, wouldn't it Swizec, on HN.

Antinatalism views reproduction as immoral.

This article isn't antinatalist.

This article states the irrefutable fact that as certain events occur, birthrates tend to decrease, and that it is not a cause for alarm as individuals and systems whose fortunes are tied to endless growth are asserting.

My wife and I have two children. Not the four of my parents and three of my wife's. That is not antinatalism, it is prudence.

It's not as much that it's trivial (but it seems like it always is because social engineering never stops working) but that once the attacker has authed they can generally delete whatever extra file or record they made and stay authed, potentially hiding the attack.

Whereas, if that required a signature from a private key, with a counter or other log of use in the TPM, it'd be caught by an audit without having to notice the symptoms.

I know that in security design that I've been involved with there's a lot more scrutiny given to each use of a privileged key than there is to making sure that all website logging lists each file in the directory at each request, or logging the full public state of your DNS every minute. Requiring a signed request makes the attacker come in through the front door.
