> Those comments excusing men who murder their annoying wives were horrifying

You might think twice about your interpretation of this. It is mainstream psychology to recognize the effects that one human can have on another. Brainwashing happens. Induced mental trauma exists. Look at Charles Manson and the influence he had, look at Patty Hearst. Humans can have drastic influence over their victims (intentionally or unintentionally) and there should be no shame in the ensuing mental illness that results, and neither gender no perceived gender roles should diminish our sympathy for such victims.

To say carte blanche that no woman can mentally traumatize a man to the point that he should be considered a victim of brainwashing is a bit naive and likely sexist.
For the sake of discussion, what do you __mean__ by consciousness?
I normally take the good faith interpretation for things like this, but I'm confused by this one.

What security problem would be addressed by this? Why would Mozilla need to disable "untrusted" extensions for only certain websites? Why would a website need to be quarentined from an extension, instead of the other way around?

I would think that the remote kill switch for a specific extension addresses the actual security concerns, or Mozilla just not allow 'untrusted extensions' by default on any website.

I don't think Mozilla is evil for doing this, but I do find the motivation for this confusing.
I switched in New England when my freon system hit end of life. I wouldn’t recommend doing it beforehand, but as a replacement it’s been incredible. All the ductwork and infrastructure largely remained the same. Pulled out the furnace, evaporator coils, and compressor of course.

It cools better than the old system, and the fact that it runs longer instead of in short bursts means it regulates humidity way better too.

For heat we did go dual fuel, which means the backup heating element uses gas, since we already had the line. This works really well in a cold snap where temps drop well below freezing.
Yeah like I don't own any apple devices so it is useless to me
> When waiting for an i/o bound operation, a thread can simply sleep.

I mean if you're fine with blocking I/O then obviously you don't need async, but on the other hand having non-blocking I/O is the whole point of async ^^
It didnt 20 years ago. That spec could have been changed and on routers added a default padding for the devices that didn't understand the new variable length. 0.0.0.0.192.168.0.1 or whatever for the legacy ipv4 devices. Im sure there was all kinds of hemming and hawing about why it would be difficult to do on the current hardware of the time and none of that equipment even exists anymore. So instead we decided to reinvent the wheel and make it a major pain instead.
You said most use cases, so I was thinking of a typical backend that's handling requests, calling RPCs, doing DB queries, etc.
Relying on a coat for survival is very different from relying on an HVAC system. One has no moving parts, requires no external inputs, and is routinely handed out for free to those who can’t afford them.
> Even so, you can ask whether a given moral code is more principled than another

What does “more principled” mean of a moral code? How does one quantify “degree of principledness”?

> and use that to investigate what might be considered "more natural".

What does the preceding (being “more principled”) have to do with being “more natural”? And what significance does being “more natural” have?

And none of that has any relevance to what is usually described as “natural rights”; its like taking existing words and coming upnwith entirely novel meanings and then a whole architecture around them, which is pretty advanced equivocation.
See sibling poster for general information. There's also matter of "injecting" copyleft code from generator into your own codebase [1], e.g. GPL3 or AGPL.

Few companies are blocking their employees from using it [2] quoting various reasons, and I know some that aren't big enough to matter in the news, but have done it too.

> if you have long-lived connections with infrequent traffic

This is an interesting case. Is it difficult to recover state in the case of an error in such a connection? If not, then you could just use that ability. If so, that seems fragile.

Also, this doesn't sound like an inherent limitation of the design approach. Couldn't the linux kernel just improve the performance of that case?

> those threads mostly do nothing but consume precious system resources.

You mean a small amount of virtual memory?
Nope! You entirely misunderstand; it’s about incentive and consequence, not self esteem or reverence.

Those institutions exist as a result of their reputation, and that reputation is harmed by giving bad instruction. This random Internet stranger has no reputation whatsoever, so there is zero incentive for them to operate honestly, beyond whatever self imposed morality they may have.

Your method relies on good nature and blind faith, and leaves you open to manipulation, ignorance and misunderstanding; what I describe uses societal forces and self interest to ensure quality. I’m sure you can guess which had better outcomes…
My electric furnace needed to be urgently replaced in the beginning of the winter, I'm quite happy that my new heat pump would default to heat...Half of the year :)

Early Google (like twenty years ago) bought a bunch of small mapping companies and created Google Maps and Earth out of them, and to this day they remain the best navigation systems ever seen in the history of our species.

It's amazing that in a decade or two we went from paper atlas books and yellow pages to bring able to look up the top restaurants an hour from where you are, and a gas station along the way, in a country you've never been to before, with real time traffic and directions spoken to you in your language. The amount of integration work it took to get there was incredible and you could see it slowly improve with each new acquisition (Keyhole for satellite images, Waze for crowdsourced reports, etc.) It must've been such an exciting time to work on that Maps.

The journey from Writely into the integrated GSuite (or whatever it's called these days) is pretty amazing too, creating an awesome alternative to MS Office.

That was all decades ago though. Who knows what Google is up to these days...
I couldn’t agree more! Libraries are so underutilized and underrated. Best of all, they are completely legal. Most of them also offer digital media, DVDs, and video games to borrow as well.
> And collective action by informed voters would quickly solve most major issues - but most Americans becoming well informed voters is an unrealistic expectation.

If all Americans had my education, they would think exactly like me.
They make heat pumps with backup gas systems now.
Only if they used GPT 3.5, if they used GPT 4.0 is more like someone using their paid access to a subscription to a scientific journal to look up research papers for someone.
Extension Manager [0] allows for installing Gnome extensions through an libadwaita app.

I imagine the privacy concerns would be better with a government run post box vs by a corporation. Google doesn't need probable cause or a warrant to go snooping into your email,
nor does UPS,
FedEx, or DHL to go into your packages. The USPS does. Hence the secure option is to mail things via USPS. I'd imagine an email service by them to be similar.
I'm being alerted of my ad blocker on this news site, on an article related to there being almost zero ads on a city. A bit ironic.
Establishing the presence of any data breach is far easier than establishing the exact scope. My proposal moves the burden of proof to just establishing the former and demanding the company prove the latter. This is a division of labor that is common in safety critical industrys with decades of proven results supporting the effectiveness of such a regime.

Your complaint that the situation will just turn into everybody acknowledging that they are hopelessly insecure is a far better situation than now where everybody lies by claiming that they are secure. It results in the acknowledgement of breaches and the acceptance of liability that would be helpful for future legislation that can actually apply penaltys for delivering products that are defective with respect to security.

I used to think the sandboxing feature was going to be a really big deal but I don't any more. I think WASM is eating their lunch in sandboxing. I'm keeping a close eye on Fermyon and Dapr.
How it's weighted I guess. Measurements aren't taken perfectly uniformly.
There are still massive amounts of consumer grade equipment that have no ability to deal with ipv6 addresses. How much modern iot stuff even supports it?

Where I live, you can bank solar credits. If you cash them out you get the "wholesale" energy price for them (much lower), but if you spend them on electricity then you've avoided paying full price for that electricity. So if your system produces more than you consume, you've got this free energy budget to spend--a budget that applies to heat pumps and not to gas furnaces.
Heating is considerably more energy efficient than having to run ACs all over the place. And if you need to go outside when it's cold you can: you add layers of clothing.

In Arizona, in the middle of summer, you could be buck naked and you'd still overheat (and get burnt, to boot).
Same can be said for a startup.
Generally it's based on whatever the next big economic decision point is

So if the desired state is "New feature X generates Y new revenue per month" then we need to define the state map of the system where that would be true.

That begs many questions then, which reveal our state variables:

"What feature metrics do we bill for, in what increments, and on what frequency?" - Business Model

"What scale is required for that transaction frequency?" - Infrastructure planning

"What amount of downtime can we afford and still meet y goal" - Observability Requirements

"What tools do we add to help us build?" - Development Environments/Practice

etc... until everyone is satisfied that you can map the current state of things, through this transition matrix of questions and into the goal state.

The other piece is having an accurate map of the current state of all your dependencies - including people, time, money, focus, etc...
Because they are stating this story as something negative, some drawback. Perhaps it is, for them, but that's where the context and perspective should come in. To me it sounds like an incredible success story. Most people I know, me included, don't have any of those things, although some are well on their list of goals. Having achieved all of them at that young age is a privilege, maybe also due to privilege (I don't know), but certainly not a burden or drawback.
This sort of true? There are many hours per year in many climates where direct evaporative cooling alone could suffice to keep people comfortable. However, most climates also have a good number of hours where air conditioning is required for comfort.

You can use this tool to visualize this: https://drajmarsh.bitbucket.io/psychro-chart2d.html

(Use the Givoni Bioclimatic Chart overlay and select a weather station using the globe icon.)

That said, there are a number of more complex devices which could further reduce how often AC systems need to be used: dew-point (Maisotsenko Cycle) coolers, indirect evaporation cooling, and thermal energy storage to name a few.

While I understand the frustration, they're pretty good at keeping about:config settings around. I can't remember the last time they removed one. The same can't be said about Chrome.
Or a solar boiler connected a refrigerant compressor. The hotter it gets the more cooling power you have. Steam punk for the 21st century.
If you want to have a tenure track "professor" position focused on teaching in a top-tier university, you need to be a great researcher as teaching skills are not considered much -- you just get to decide to focus on teaching after you get tenure. Thankfully, many universities (even the prestigious ones) are now starting to hire more semi-permanent teaching-focused staff (and some even use the title professor for these). You do not get as much independence in such a position, especially if you want to make a class for more senior students, but it is a good middle ground. Or you can be a professor at a school that is not in the rat-race to be "top-tier research institution" - you still need to have some small research output (but that is actually an awesome way to introduce a couple of undergrads a year to research) and you get to focus on making awesome classes (of course, there is still the expectation that you have a PhD to apply for these positions, but at these places your teaching experience is actually taken seriously in the hiring process).

As to what to do during your PhD: find an advisor that is happy to have one or two students focused on teaching and outreach (they would like to have that because when applying for grants it makes it easier for them to explain how they have broader impact, pointing to your work).
And then get hacked through one of the tons of known vulnerabilities in that version.
Yeah, seems like HTTP client libs should just be used in blocking/sync mode, and the user can wrap the calls in async if desired. I said the alternative is a threadpool under the assumption that the lib actually needs concurrency, but this doesn't.

Now that you mention it, this reminds me of ObjC where promises were a cool new thing and got put into tons of libs for no reason. The fad died down after a year or so.
This is an argument yes. A model could certainly be considered transformative enough to be fair use.

Just a few years ago in university the lab computers were running debian 10 and the sysadmin would make announcements about linux-specific infra outages through a script that ssh'd into every machine and wall'd the outage message.

We would often get people using lab computers remotely and you could talk or wall them to tell them you were rebooting soon. Good times.

yup yup

Kids seem to be replaying 2005 to be on the track of their big brothers.

But suburbs no longer exist, and the legitimate grievance and political claims from back then are hardly current anymore.

So it's just for fame they do that now. And the one who spoke up in the news, or faced trials, are just airheads who did this for the clout and to follow friends. They're not criminals or activists.

And honestly, it feels weird.

The clout culture is no more important than the state or the left wing political demands of our generations. We're old.

However, in a way, they have anarchy in their blood. So it will be interesting to see what they will become in a decade or two.

Almost everyone overestimates their ability to be aware of and manage their emotions. While it's important to work on how we react to things, it's also important to be clear-eyed about our in-built fallibilities and how difficult they are to overcome, as well as just how hostile the environments we encounter are.

With a great deal of goal-directed effort, an individual could get there, but realistically getting our existing population to effectively adopt any meaningful level of reduced emotional reactiveness to these triggers would require a massive culture shift and billions of billions of hours of therapy and related activities. In other words, it's not a realistic short- or medium-term position at the population level, so it's at best only a small part of any solution.
Understanding that unbiased reporting is a farce requires some understanding of media literacy and in my experience most people do not have that literacy nor a desire to learn about it. So the caveat is unfortunately necessary.
> This idea that LLMs will get progressively dumber because of a training feedback loop is silly.

What's interesting is that it can get dumber due to consuming its own or other LLM's output.

We humans read our own output and talk to other humans. Never heard of anyone getting dumber from being social.

This is correct. The core value-add of e.g. Slack is not actually "transmit messages between authenticated users." There were dozens of other applications, both commercial and open source, that already did exactly that when Slack came out and killed them all off.

The core value proposition of Slack is next-level beyond that: it adds a visually appealing, highly intuitive UI/UX that almost anyone can sit down and immediately use, without any studying or setup or manuals or training. No technical skills are required. You don't need to understand anything beyond "type username and password"; the rest is self-explanatory.
A bike path filled with ebikes and scooters is better than rail, cheaper, more resilient, more easily repaired, more flexible, always in service.

Small e vehicles can do 30mph, which is likely effectively the same speed as a train when you consider lack of waiting, fare payment, intermediate stops, delays, transportation to/from the station.

EVs are much more flexible for modes and platforms than ices because all the motor form favors exist, they are simple (motor battery brakes) modular (removable batteries) and don't involve smelly gas and oil.

I live some 5 hours north of Montreal, we have few days at -40C and wall radiators (not sure about the name) are needed, but for most of the winter days we use the heat pump to heat the house (-21C and up). Some members in my family work in AC/Refrigeration industry and all of them have thermo pumps, which make economic and ecologic sense. On the other side I don't know about AC/heat pump replacements as it's not common to have AC for the just a handful of days that could be very hot.
