Hosting is actually free (as it should be).

I used to be very active on Couchsurfing and have hosted dozens of travelers -- to rave reviews, and much more often than I stayed. It doesn't cost me anything to share a couch (or a room, on the rare occasion I had a spare). What I'm objecting to is the website taking $100/yr -- for what? It's unclear -- on principle, when communities like it have existed for far cheaper and far longer. It seems to exploit both the hosts and the guests. I understand some overhead (especially when it comes to trust and safety) but it's not clear to me why that price point is necessary when alternatives can offer the same service for much less.

>The question is whether intelligence alone lets you expand power without bounds until you conquer the world. I just don't see how that would be possible.

Name the next most intelligent animal to humans...

Have humans completely and utterly conquered them?

The intelligence explosion already happened and humans were it. Now you're questioning if it's possible with intelligence explosion 2.0?
If the macro doesn't use the argument, it doesn't have to exist.

Currently the code does use macros, e.g. mem_alloc(h->ator, size).

Firstly, I'd hide the detail of how the allocator is derived from h into the allocator wrapper routines and just make it mem_alloc(h, size). It's mem_alloc which can do h->ator.

Now the nice thing is that h always exists. So even mem_alloc ignores the first parameter, we don't have to pass something fictional as an argument:

#define mem_alloc(h, size) malloc(size)

then remove the h->ator and related cruft. Someone who needs a context for their allocator can hack that in.

By the way, if you're going to have allocator providers, you want:

#define mem_alloc(h, size) h->ator->alloc(h->ator, size)
^^^^^^^

and not:

#define mem_alloc(h, size) h->ator->alloc(size)

like the code has it now.

Thou shalt not define a C callback interface without a context pointer.

Without a context pointer, you cannot have an allocator module where you can bind different allocator arenas to different objects.

I use Qubes because of one exact feature: single Desktop Environment for windows from different Virtual Machines. And AFAIK there are no alternatives.

Use it for work, development, personal tasks for about 2 years so far.

But it has many restrictions, e.g. gaming is problematic because of this single "main" desktop and trucking cursors bug, recording screen when there are several monitors is bugging and problematic, streaming or working with graphics is problematic, development that requires other virtualization like android (as i heard) is problematic (though docker works, tested).

This OS is enough for my tasks, I like concept of separating activities, e.g. when i share desktop on skype, people see only skype's VMs windows. And single Desktop Env is killer feature.

But because of many restrictions this OS is definitely not for everyone.

You can fit a ton of data down a consumer's pipe. Can you actually design a game that would have those network requirements? A single frame of video is a ton of data compared to traditional game state constructs.
I'm confused, how would this prevent supply chain attacks? Wouldn't you need to sandbox node itself, instead of npm?
Personally I prefer Dr. Becher's follow-on project, StrongForth.f, which is just a library to load into a standard system like gforth (which is probably in your OS's package repo).

Let me try to reply to you (as one of the authors of mamba and as a conda-forge core dev):

Mamba has solved (seemingly successfuly) many problems of conda being slow. It's used by default in conda-forge, the largest conda repository out there.
Asking packagers to add upper bounds is less of a speed-hack vs. just the correct thing to do. What's interesting about conda-forge is that upper bounds can also be added later on via a "repodata patch". They really just serve to get users packages that are actually compatible.

The kind of "freak solves" are not a thing anymore with mamba.

I agree with you that multiple channels present problems. Channels that explicitly inherit from each other work quite well together (e.g. bioconda and robostack channels extend conda-forge), but the Anaconda main (defaults) channel and conda-forge do not work well together – on the metadata and ABI level. For this reason we encourage users to never mix those two.

At prefix.dev we do want to make it easy to build "on top of" conda-forge in the future.

I think most issues on your list that follows at the end are non-issues once you start to use mamba. And I would encourage you wholeheartedly to give micromamba a try (for a really fast, single-binary experience with no base env and slim installation) or pixi (again, no base env, just a Rust binary).
What? No. This isn't user facing. And they are following a schema created as a result of regulation. It sounds like the schema sucks. It sucks because it implies a lot of redundancy, and allows you to remove some of that redundancy, but does not require it, resulting in a foreseeable and unfortunate amount of redundancy.
Isn’t this basically the innovator’s dilemma? You can call it focusing the core business, but you can also call it dropping investment in long term cash flows.

Welcome to HN!
It's ridiculous as portrayed, and doesn't match the visuals, but one could write a combined netstat and top that allowed simultaneous navigation of net connections and process tree with wasd and hjkl respectively. If one were a super hacker.
And the thing is, latency can be "good enough" for some games. I tried out the top end tier of GeForce NOW for a month just to see what it was like since I've always been skeptical of game streaming. I picked Last Epoch as a game since it has (had?) a reputation for being hard to run at 4k.

Even at 4k, I could play it and my views on game streaming have changed a bit. This was last year and I was using an i7 4770k based system. I can say pretty confidently that I found the local lag spikes from not having a high end gaming PC to be far more frustrating than the consistent 40ms of latency via streaming. Maybe it's because I'm getting older and don't have the same reflexes anymore, but I couldn't even really notice the latency via streaming.

I also think people are seriously overlooking the trend towards secure computing. What if you put a TPM in a video card? Then your video for the game stream can be encrypted and only gets decoded just before being sent to your HDCP compliant monitor. I think it's much harder to build cheats if the client side doesn't have any data to work with beyond video that gets decrypted as it's sent to your monitor.

Heck, even just a lack of local game data gets rid of most cheating, right?
> Seems a bit extreme to throw out a whole set of concepts (nudge, behavioral economics) because one person may have fabricated some data.

I specifically said don't throw out nudges - some of them work and replicate e.g., retirement savings defaults, while others are BS like the honesty pledge. Real experimental/behavioral economics is not this media-attention-grabbing garbage anyway. As I said, I have friends in the field. They don't do this BS.

> Doesn't he work with entire teams of others, don't others review his work, his analysis, the data collection, etc.?

No, he doesn't. See the Data Colada responses from his three coauthors on the car insurance paper. All admit he was the only author to have data access. If you can find it, check the earlier, separate investigation into his other fabricated paper w/ Delta Dental where the insurer itself said "we didn't give him that data."

> Some additional context here is that in academia, there has been a lot of pushback on the burgeoning field of behavioral economics as a result of political viewpoints; nudge is inherently a liberal concept, and puts conservative viewpoints of personal responsibility in a negative light.

I disagree on many dimensions w/ your characterization of behavioral econ AND the entire point is irrelevant here.

> economics isn't strictly a "hard science" insofar as it can't really run experiments the way physics can, so it's easy for economists to point out experimental issues

I can introduce you to ten experimental economists who would disagree. Economists have also been pioneers in figuring out when non-experimental situations parallel experiments enough that we can make the same inferences.

That’s not what I’d consider a great filter in the usual usage. We’ve only had ~10k years of recorded history. If we can’t make a meaningful dent somewhere outside the solar system in another 10x that amount of time, I doubt we (or anyone) ever would.

This is how a lot of the private equity industry is funded. Shareholders are "de-risked" taking the proceeds of a refinance out of the business upfront. The financier offers the upfront loan in return for a consistent stream of their cash flow (the interest and capital on the loan, and sometimes not even the capital). These businesses tend to have very steady cash flow generation.
In a certain pedantic, functional way, yes. For fast visual parsing, no.

It might be 50% in the US (although studies show that even in the US most (>60 % IIRC) people favor some form of public healthcare if asked in non-polarizing terms), but if you look at worldwide statistics countries that have publically funded healthcare have typically better outcomes at lower costs, which might not be "proven" in the strictest sense, but is pretty strong evidence.
Man do I miss the days of DFI motherboards when their engineers would pop into the overclocking community and share code snippets of relevant BIOS firmware. The things were so well documented there were something like 3 or 4 third-party BIOS distributions.

Then there was their community and RMA manager Dona. That woman had to be one of the hardest working people I've ever encountered. She must have slept like 5 hours a day. People could post on some obscure forum about a defect and she'd find the post and make it right. One time, when I was around 16 in 2007, I broke a very niche and specific overclocking record on DDR2 latency that still passed Memtest x86, and Dona hooked me the hell up. Suddenly started getting all sorts of companies sending me heatsinks, RAM, PSU's, etc to "review" if I wanted to. Sidenote to this tangent - I have to say, the ultra-fine grit sandpaper kit with 12 sheets in increasing grit, was absolutely my favorite. Learned how to sand a heatsink down to a near mirror finish and shaved a few degrees celsius off my de-capped AMD Opteron 165.

DFI BIOS were famous for exposing the most settings for regulating RAM/ CPU/ Chipset/ GPU/ SATA/ PCI-E/ IDE communication and lanes. This guide/ participating in the DFI overclocking community probably taught me more about the fundamentals of computer science, and how all those electrons move around to make the sand think. https://forums.overclockersclub.com/topic/100835-the-definit...

I feel like your analysis of Facebook and Google Plus is backwards, and people were OK with Google Plus implementation but no one cared to get off Facebook at the time. Google Plus was always a little dead for non-tech crowd, it didn't get big enough to where your friends were using it regularly. People's complaints about Google Plus weren't about the service itself but that it was integrated all over Google properties

Not sure I buy the "we are special/early" explanation.

However I don't think it makes sense for any civilization to be 'loud'. Just seems naive to blunder about and risk your civilization. However monitoring new civilizations for intelligence, fairness, open mindedness, lack of religions that justify killing outside their religion or species, treating the less fortunate of their/other species well and the like. Then once they hit some developmental milestones for compatible civilizations you introduce yourselves. Possible milestones include practical fusion, returning your ecosystem to baseline, practical anti-matter production/use, making a blackhole, traveling to the nearest star that you don't orbit, quantum computing at scale, etc.

Might well be something on the moon, well stealthed, a few meters down, with receivers capable of decryption RF traffic, and sensors to see how quickly we are poisoning ourselves.

I think this is missing the point. It's not "Can I afford $100 for a year's worth of travel", it's that communities have been sharing hosting/staying for a long time already, for free or nearly free. Then suddenly a new company shows up, offers the same service, but now wants to charge hosts and guests $100/yr for doing the same thing as before. Why should they pay that? What does the new company offer?

FWIW, it is a genuine question, and depending on the answer could make the service actually very valuable. For example (only):

* If they manually vet each member not just with a basic ID check (ID.me etc.) but also with a background check and a Zoom interview, or otherwise improve community trust and relationships

* If they provide a built-in calendar/scheduling system and provide support for last-minute cancellations, rebookings, etc.

* If they provide vastly superior UX or support compared to Couchsurfing and Warmshowers

* If they provide support for international travelers, especially for accidents, medical issues, translations, whatever. But so far this seems to be within California only.

But from their website it's not clear that such value-adds are being done, so then the question is not whether $100/yr is affordable, it's what $100/yr gives you that $30/yr does not. If you're rich, that's not a big deal. If you're poor, that $70 a year DOES make a difference.

Male inequality, explained by an expert – Richard Reeves [video]
Modern males are struggling. Author Richard Reeves outlines the three major issues boys and men face and shares possible solutions.
> On a technical level, I don't think that arbitrary and surreptitious dll injection is a line in the sand worth defending. It's not a great abstraction; it's tech debt.

I think giving DLL injections up isn't really solving anything. DLL injection isn't an accident of history - it's a solution to a specific problem. The problem won't disappear if you remove the solution.

The issue in question is that it's also broadly useful to allow software to be modified by third parties in arbitrary ways, without the involvement or cooperation of the software vendor. In fact, the security folks are a major users of this capability - that's how malware scanners work, that's how emergency hot-fixing is done, that's how compliance systems work - and moving towards more evil/dystopian use cases, this capability is needed by anti-cheat systems, DRM, and the modern digital surveillance economy.

All this means that, if you eliminate the current way to let third parties inject code into programs, you'll soon be forced to create the equivalent mechanism yourself. The sandboxes will get stricter to protect users from criminals, and then they'll have holes poked in them to accommodate legitimate actors, both good and bad. Problem is, going through the whole dance of making a sandbox and then making it leaky, is that it generates bloat. You end up roughly in the same place you started, just with an extra layer of abstraction on top.

(And, of course, all those abstraction layers have bugs in them, so the attack surface for criminals is getting larger in the process.)

> Base M1 Macbook Airs are selling for 800€, I doubt you'd get half of that for the parts in an activation locked Macbook

All true, but the next question is: would a thief not steal a MacBook Air if they are only getting €400[0] rather than €800? IMO, halving the reward won't make a dent on the rate MacBooks are stolen, whole inconveniencing everyone else who cares about aftermarket repairs.

0. Actual thieves are unlikely to sell their wares at anything close to full price, unless it's a an organized ring - so the actual difference might be between getting €200 or getting €100. Either is free money, from thieves perspective
1. We anchored this discussion on arithmetic so I stuck to that. If a child never learns (no exposure) how to do base 16 arithmetic then a test quizzing on base 16 arithmetic will result in zero performance.

If that child had the basic teaching most children do (little exposure) then a quiz will result in much worse performance than a base 10 equivalent test. This is very simple. I don't know what else to tell you here.

2. You must understand that a human driver that stops because a kite suddenly comes across the road doesn't do so because of any kite>child>must not hurt reasoning. Your brain doesn't even process information that quickly. The human driver stops (or perhaps he/she doesn't) and then rationalizes a reason for the decision after the fact. Humans are very good at doing this sort of thing. Except that this rationalization might not have anything at all to do with what you believe to be "truth". Just because you think or believe it is so doesn't actually mean it is so. Choices shape preferences just as much as the inverse.
For all anyone knows and indeed most likely, "child" didn't even enter the equation untill well after the fact.

Now if you're asking whether LLMs a matter of principle can infere/grok these sort of casual relationships between different "objects" then yes as far as anyone is able to test.
So... the mechanical details are that the authors of the paper w/ fake data said that Rossi did the study for them when asked about it.

She wasn't an author, so she had no reason to be involved w/ (for example) the referee process. She was made aware that this was their claim when someone contacted her.

She also works in a slightly different literature IMO. Even if she had read the article, it probably didn't say "the data gathering was done by Prof. Rossi at UCLA"
