The server has to have some way of verifying your certificate. The workflow I would like to see is that the server runs its own CA that it uses to sign client certificate signing requests and then uses that CA to verify any client side certificate presented. If combined with a username and password, it would effectively be 2FA without a shared secret (outside of TLS connection negotiation).

This is the kind of debate that has been going on surrounding virtual memory forever[0][1]. If you can keep everything in memory, then you're golden. But eventually you won't, and you'll need to rely on secondary storage.

Is there a performance benefit to be had by managing the memory and paging yourself? Yes. But eventually you will also consider running processes next to your database, for logging, auditing, ingesting data, running backups, etc. Virtual memory across the whole system helps with that, especially if other people will be using your database in ways you can't predict. As for the efficiency of MMUs and the OS, seems like for almost all cases it's "satisfactory" enough[1].

> AI is vastly more dangerous and more urgent than climate change, than Russia and China, than literally any other hot topic today

No, it's not. And most (not quite all, there are some genuine nutballs) of the people selling that idea are selling it to push a political agenda attached to their financial interest (mostly, in AI: either by pushing AI danger to advance competition-limiting regulatiom or by pushing the kind of AI danger that is not actually imminent with hyperbolic language to distract from the real and present issues with AI, and sometimes both.)
The cloud strategy isn't some genius legal maneuver. The point is to make RH come out and show the cards. RH will have to rework cloud arrangements, send cease and desist, burn money and goodwill, and reincarnate as oracle. I will take the bet that they aren't willing to do that yet.
> more popular to remove wisdom teeth

Even the pushy dentists have rarely recommended removal of wisdom teeth unless they are trouble. I mean if it's pushing inside the muscle area towards bones or screwing up things for other teeth you have to. If it's forming a cavity area (like in my case) you definitely should get rid of it.

Wisdom tooth removal is not rite of passage. It's need based and often the needs are real and very much "needed".

> Even FLOSSING was removed from the U.S. Department of Health's recommendations several years ago because there is a lack of evidence that it's effective

This is bizarre because I can feel the change in my mouth everyday with and without flossing. I am not sure there is a need for some kind of empirical evidence here. Especially if there are not gigantic mountain pass like gaps between your teeth.

Yeah the crown job recos are often con jobs. Whenever I have been advised a drastic dental job I visit a Govt or a charitable medical college dental hospital here (India) and get a consultation. I do not get "polite" or "sophisticated" service there :D but I get honest and expert to the point advice.

> Because Deno uses the standard APIs for things. If it already works in the browser, it will continue to work in the server. No more fractured language.

For greenfield projects? Maybe. For established projects? Not for a very long time.

There's a reason Deno added support for npm modules and CommonJS. Because no amount of wide-eyed naïve fanboyism can replace reality.
Mostly yes, but to your second paragraph:

> if instead one letter only 1/1000th of the time (aaa....aaa...aa..a.z.aaaa), then when the rare beast shows up, it is a big surprise, so the total amount of surprise available in the sequence is high

…when a Bernoulli distribution is skewed, the maximum surprise is high, yes, but the average surprise (= entropy) is low. The entropy of a Bernoulli distribution is maximized when p = 0.5 and falls off to either end:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_entropy_function

For your examples, if the sequence is uniformly distributed (Bernoulli(1/2)), the entropy is log(2) ≈ 0.693 bits per symbol; if instead one letter occurs 1/1000th of the time, the entropy is about 0.0079 bits per symbol.
I agree with your idea - I've been working on a similar one for a while.

However, what you write above could almost completely describe USENET news groups. Learning what worked for USENET news and what did not will give you a starting place for this idea.

For the most part, USENET discussions worked just as well as Reddit discussions according to the skill and motivation of the moderators, although that was the very early net and most of those involved were educated white men, not teenagers or nations engaging in information warfare.

I'm continuing to work on a design for a federated discussion system just because I think the world needs discussion boards that aren't bound by national law or corporate desire any more than necessary.

However, I think the original intent of the sidewiki stuff was slightly different. That said, they could be a combined system, with one presentation of the various groups/subs/channels being via a reddit like website, and another being a side bar attached to a web browser window. It depends on what is being discussed.

That doesn't really make sense. If you're trying to do anything in a well-defined way, you're going to need a box. The box is the definition.

I'm not going to be able to do these in a comment here, but I can briefly tell you how I would go about doing them.

> - Parse Excel files, modify them, and rewrite them to disk.

Use streams API to create a pipeline (input -> modify -> output).

If by Excel files you mean CSVs, then I can stream the whole thing, making modifications and saving while I'm still streaming in the file.

If by Excel files you mean an xlsx file, then I tweak the pipeline to (input -> unzip -> modify -> rezip -> output).

> - Load and modify a PNG and write it out as a JPG. Be sure you scale it down using a Lanczos kernel.

First I'd make sure I have the encoder and decoder settled. If you have a specific encoder in mind (e.g. ImageMagick + specific settings) then you can box that up by compiling it to web assembly. If you don't have a specific encoder in mind then it doesn't really matter what you use. If you have a specific encoder in mind, then same thing. If you don't, you can always use the JS standard Canvas API which you can load an image into then pull out raw pixel info.

If you want to do the whole thing from scratch, you can do it like the Excel way and create a pipeline using the streams API and TypedArrays.

Linting for floating promises is tricky to accomplish (ESLint doesn't get it quite right).

Depending on the code, you can get stuck in the halting problem. To solve it correctly, you need to write a compiler/solver that has access to the relevant type information.

This is something that the typescript project itself has been investigating and once solved would be added as another strict rule (e.g. noImplicitOverride, etc...).

If you don't care about correctness and want any heuristic solution, then use any heuristic solution.
10 vs 1,000 years before AGI is a lifetime of difference. I liken it to "not knowing the future". All humans face the same anxiety of an unknown future. In this way, I don't think AGI is a _special_ concern to worry about any more than when your death date will be.

And if the concern is "I want to do something meaningful" well... that's a whole other realm of philosophy of meaning. TLDR: I don't think meaningful work is reserved to "influences the thousandth generation after non nonexistence".
Can you point me a reference to a single phone? A phone running AOSP with open-source kernel drivers and not a single Google closed-source binary. Good luck to find that.

The only project I know about doing that is Replicant and targets ancient phones. It's also a community run project, none of those phone came fully open from the factory either.
I modeled a few of the Factorio machines back when I was 3d-printing them to use as desk ornaments - they took me around six hours each, so I could definitely imagine getting through all of them in a few months. Of course, my task was certainly easier since models destined for 3d printing don't need proper UV mapping or texturing.

> Transferring at Millbrae seems like the worst option just because I have to pay attention at intermittent intervals which feels more stressful.

It's not just the shorter intervals, but the fact that there's 50% more points of possible failure with one additional transfer. For example, maybe there are no parking spots available, or the Caltrain is delayed.
For YouTube, I'd recommend setting up HW decoding. Depending on your distro and GPU, it can be a pain to set up, but it's much more efficient: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration

Personally, I've found over the past few years that AMD parts tend to have better perf/watt than Intel parts for both laptops and desktops and I think most benchmarks tend to corroborate that experience: https://hothardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-5-7600-ryzen-7-770...

Someone mentioned Eco mode (which is easy if your BIOS supports it) - another option is futzing with PBO2 Curve Optimizer. Most chips can support a -10 on all cores but lots of people run up to -20 or even -30. This can make a pretty huge difference in temps/wattage. I lowered my CPU temps by >10C w/ no performance loss on my 5950X. You can also set the PPT to whatever max power you want to use. Here's a guide if you're going to explore some that more: https://skatterbencher.com/amd-precision-boost-overdrive-2/

A mere $350k for the FizzBuzz crown, it's a steal really.

HA! Right.
I think you're misunderstanding my comment because you aren't reading it in context of the parent. Those are all points why big tech will be fine without open source software. I.E. if the entirety of the OSS community disappeared tomorrow, big tech would be minimally impacted. Many of the major OSS projects came from then to begin with and they already have massive efforts to maintain parallel versions. They open source tf, hack, and pytorch because it's good for recruiting. Not because it gets commits and reduces workloads. So if the OSS movement disappeared tomorrow, big tech would be the best positioned companies to keep chugging along.

Although even if all OSS software that we've discussed here disappeared tomorrow, I know at least Google and Facebook are fine because they don't use any of it. They have their own internal versions that are better and aren't shared with the world.
Sadly it's not anticipated to return to Australia;

One reason it's shame we'll never see the Bolt on Australian roads is because it actually stemmed from an electric vehicle concept designed here by GM’s Australian design centre and went into production in 2017.

Now, of course, with GM all-but out of Australia – apart from its ties to the shrunken GMSV outfit here – it's less likely than ever we'll ever see the Bolt models here.

The fundamental flaw at the heart of crypto: the insistence that only onchain data matters, while in the real world, your reputation is tied to your real identity.

This idea would work if the ETH wallet was tied to a real identity, but since crypto keeps insisting on anonymity, all you get is a random address signing a thing.
I'd love for a distributed, third-party, comment system to gain some traction, but there are at least a few major challenges:

* Ease of use: Getting someone to install an extension is really hard (and doesn't even work on mobile for most users), and getting them to use a specialized browser app is even harder. Firefox would be in a good position to do something on this front. Conceptually, it could even fit in with Pocket. (e.g. "Pocket saves content from everywhere, and allows you to make comments on anything.")

* Canonical addresses: A page/topic/article story can exist at many slightly different urls. How do you properly/automatically consolidate comments? The problem becomes adversarial as soon as it gains any bit of success. No company wants competitors to have the ability to communicate with their site visitors, and will do everything they can to keep comments from being discoverable.

* Spam/moderation: Lots of options here, but none I know of that don't involve big tradeoffs between cost and usefulness.

The good news is that there's probably some opportunity for an "AI" assistant to serve much of the same function as a web-wide commenting/annotations system. The bad news is that if it comes from any of the major players, it might be too sanitized/milquetoast to be useful.

> In my opinion, formed from over two decades of Linux, a piece of hardware having a libre driver written for it is the exact indicator of what can be relied upon to "just work".

Then this opinion can be discarded as not grounded in reality. In order to run pytorch at high speed I need to do... basically nothing. It just works.

Many things can be said about ROCm support for 7900XT, none of them are positive.
"It just works" drivers from AMD come several months too late.
Thanks for the clarification! This makes sense.

I do wonder who is liable if the software used to design a bridge outputs incorrect simulation results and the bridge collapses as a consequence. I suppose it's on the senior project engineer (or whoever ultimately signs off on the design) to verify the results somehow.

Edit: This article [0] talks about the "trust" placed in commercial and open-source CAD software by engineers and doesn't mention regulation/certification of the software itself, which seems to imply that there is none.

I still recall a CS jobs fair at my college ~8 years ago, where some company representative took a very bad liking to Erlang on my CV (I took a "Programming Languages" course where Erlang was one of ~6 languages we chewed through. s/o venkat!)

He kept asking "why use this over Java at my work X". He seemed to have the idea I wanted to join his company and rewrite their web administrative tools used by 5 people in Erlang. Not sure why he got so annoyed, and didn't ask me about anything other than a language he thought was silly!
Yeah, it's not immediately obvious how to play, but I thought with some clicking around folks would figure it out.
And Facebook probably has a couple orders of magnitudes more, but you don't see anyone lining up to make a Facebook app for this.

Besides, Wikipedia already has user accounts. They even have a system for users with the appropriate permissions to approve revisions of a page -- no external crypto-nonsense needed.
No, the users are on Wikipedia. WMF has their own auth infrastructure already in place. It seems like the author of this "mockup" is proposing that WMF shitcan their entire user/auth infrastructure and replace it with a blonkchain-based one (and to be specific, this one particular ETH-based blonkchain.)

And then, of course, you'd apparently need to convince every Wikipedia user to get on the ETH PKI for this purpose? That does not seem like a rational choice.

Nothing about this mockup seems rational. It is entirely fake and frivolous. There's not even an explanation of the supposed benefits of this "endorsement" feature. Because it doesn't have any.

It's been getting better in the past decade but similarly, one of the papercuts of the Linux desktop experience that used to bug me was how you could kinda feel the numerous layers it was composed of slipping around a bit. I think all modern OSes suffer this to at least a small extent today.

That "tightness" you mention is quite tangible on my 500Mhz PowerBook G3 when it's booted into OS 9. It would be nice to get that back in its entirety somehow.

You are confidently wrong. Git, including pull requests, was developed years before GitHub ever existed. GitHub borrowed the term from git. Pull requests originally (before GitHub) are requests sent via email that one developer pull changes from another.

The request pull command has been part of git since 2005:
