Rust was a very different language pre 1.0 (GC, builtin green threading, etc). I think it's fair to start counting at 1.0.
Not to be "that guy", but if you're only using Windows for the Linux subsystem and web browser, why not use Linux to boot?
To add, it works quite well if you can accept the caveats of no (easy/default) GPU access (so no gaming). It is not a lot slower if you have enough ram to keep your VMs booted, i mainly noticed a difference in i/o speed but that may have been my particular setup.

You aren't meant to mess with dom0 (so also your desktop) much, so ricers won't like it unless they are willing to break the security model somewhat.

It is also not meant to be a shared PC.

Windows (10) support is pretty mediocre but it does work. I was able to do a WFH job that required windows using it without pain - you don't get seamless windows though.

Such abstraction is very unstable. You can always VNC into a machine from a browser though, so 'vmception' can be achieved.

Not the same article but it has come up on here at least one other time with a lively discussion. Can't find it off hand though.
That car (in diesel) was one of the most reliable cars ever made.

The car made the look. Forgetting that indicates an utter failure to understand automobile branding.

Design is a language. That shape speaks to car people in a way you cannot buy or replicate. It says reliable, durable, and safe. It says still better than anything made since. It’s still the car I’d put my teenage daughter in.

Disparaging it should immediately disqualify any expert.
Truly epic comment.
> Just browsing the comments on this one, it struck me how users of this website, an incubator for new technologies and ostensibly private businesses, seems to not believe in the capacity of private businesses to provide the most socially-useful goods and services.

I've spent my entire life watching private shareholders rape companies sold off by successive Conservative governments.

I've grown up hearing of workers buying homes on minimum wage and that the majority of families could support themselves on a single income. Yet despite huge advancements in automation, computing, and productivity I do not live in such a world.

I've seen the ways in which private business treats people who have no other choice: with no regard for their wellbeing, their humanity, or the law.

Private business serves as a useful means of parallelising and (somewhat) decentralising decision making, but unless brutally controlled it ravages society.
Fortran programmers can!
Yes, that would be more efficient, but there are so many edge cases where switching an existing home to use heat pumps is prohibitively difficult or expensive.

Maybe you have radiators that require higher temps than can be efficiently produced by heat pumps. Maybe you live in a place where the air gets too cold for air source heat pumps to be cost effective. Maybe you want to install ground source, but you live in a city and don't have a big enough yard. Maybe you have a big enough yard but local geological conditions aren't conducive to digging deep enough.

Not to mention all the people who just don't want to bother switching, or who don't have the money to switch, or prefer the reliability of the natural gas over the electrical grid, or...etc.

Or just look at the culture wars that are already starting over gas stoves, when nobody has even been required to get rid of their existing gas stove, and people are just talking about changing the rules for new construction.

There are just so many edge cases where it's hard to get people to switch off natural gas. If we can make green methane, all those problems are simultaneously solved with zero disruption to anyone's homes/lifestyles/etc.
I think they read the first line of your reply and took it as you arguing that it's nearly impossible for an LLM to give output that would get someone killed.
You can use something similar on macOS, Windows or Linux, based on Docker containers, see Dangerzone: https://github.com/freedomofpress/dangerzone
Yeah, its mimicry of logic is really flawed.

In some interfaces you can exploit this in your favor by tampering with the initial denial to poison the subsequent context.

Makes sense, given the massive security theater in the US and the fact that it's so off the beaten path of the rest of the world that most flights probably don't just "transit" through the US on the way to somewhere else.
I would say that weights that approach lifting levels are rare. Most stuff that weights a lot becomes too unwieldy to lift. Anything above that tends to be something you carry with multiple people.

Also, I would say that your grip is going to be a bigger liability in those situations.
Sadly, I think the new name for this kind of thing has been "literate programming" for the past 20 years at least, while the literate programming that Knuth described has been renamed something like "the literate programming that Knuth described".

Deludedly Deeming Housing Deregulation a Disaster
As someone who has dealt with countless breaking changes in keras and wasted days of my life attempting to upgrade, no thank you.

My pytorch code from years ago still works with no issues, my old keras code would break all the time even in minor releases.
Ah, so basically this is typically used as lossy compression with a constant bit rate, which makes the bandwidth usage predictable/constant but depending on the pictures being shown (and the noise level?), it can lead to some visual degradation (which they say is usually imperceptible).

That's interesting and surprising to me.
Maybe because some drivers don't work, plus the fact that we want to keep this one Windows machine at home, for cases of Windows only software (e.g. old book-companion CDs).
Honestly you don't need to be super paranoid to benefit from Qubes. Windows and Linux default sandboxing is still pretty mediocre at best, people can't be perfect with security all the time and sometimes even legit programs get compromised, so the sandboxing security model helps contain the damage.

That said you can still setup sandboxing without Qubes.

Hanlon's razor. Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.

The US healthcare system is a mess, but I don't think it's intentionally malicious. It is just a mash of a thousand different systems, creating one big stupid system.
Even If you could tell the OS it would fail cause much (most?) software has an OS independent path to validate the certificate.

OpenSSL for example uses a custom pem file that the program developer supplies.
QubesOS is very cool but I've always thought it'd cool/better if it was a patchset or repo on top of an existing distro like Archlinux or NixOS. I think that would be useful so you could adopt features from QubesOS individually and swap out different components. For example, it'd be nice to use KVM (QEMU or even crosvm) instead of Xen or build a Wayland based system instead of X11.
Apple knew they didn't need to unlock the phone. At some point a vuln was going to get discovered that would let them in, and that's exactly what happened. This way Apple gets to look like a privacy respecting shining beacon of goodness for users, while simultaneously handing over iCloud access and letting China do whatever the hell it is they do.
Yeah. I started playing with it about 2 years ago, and I now caution people that "it's really a bit virus-like." It went from being on one "play" computer to being my daily driver OS on 4 machines in that time.

It's fine. You just have to be willing to operate on a "If I can't do it, then I must not need to do it" sort of basis with things like media. But that's no real problem for me, I hate video anyway.
> The first misunderstanding lies in not recognizing that the comment that started this whole thread is, in fact, making two claims and disguising those claim as questions.

I absolutely love this comment, because it is literally and necessarily an opinion, but it explicitly claims that it is a fact.

This is what I was anticipating when I said: "The effect these questions have on even the very best minds is amazing, I wonder what will happen here..."

> The rest of the comment, i.e. the non-question parts, reveals the true nature of those "questions".

This one's great too - let me guess, you believe that in "the non-question parts, reveals the true nature" it is solely the words themselves doing the "revealing", am I right? Or, would you prefer to maybe not discuss that topic in detail? :)

> Implying that "even the very best minds" are somehow unable to discuss these questions is a cheap rhetorical device.

It is also true, and some might even say mean.

> It's what the Internet clumsily, but accurately, calls "debate me, bro".

Yup, and this is what keeps your culture permanently locked into Maya: the world as dream (like above where you literally can't distinguish between the necessarily subjective and objective - and this is under asynchronous conditions, imagine how you'd perform in realtime).

By the way: Russell's Teapot is not a proof, but it certainly may appear as such to those afflicted by Normative Cognition.
Generative AI for Social Media Posts
During the weekend, I built and launched:

https://www.postfluencer.app/

It is an app that helps content creators rewrite their content based on popular frameworks.

I have been posting on Linkedin for 3 months, and have studied and learned about copywriting.

The app combines frameworks from popular creators on Linkedin and rewrites your post using their frameworks.

These are 5 popular frameworks supported now:

Clear - This is inspired by Matt Barker's PCR framework for hooks and his general style.
PAIPS - This is based on Justin Welsh's modified PAS framework called PAIPS.
Story - This is based on Kieran Drew's StoryPost framework.
Hero's Journey - I learned about this while reading Jon Brosio's posts.
Simple - This is based on various creators - but primarily Ryan Hutchinson.
I would love to get feedback on the app and what more can be added.

I have struggled with overthinking for a while now and I am actively trying to change and launch products.
> If Qualcomm stops supporting a particular chipset, they won't give you new binary blobs (part of what's known as a "board support package" or BSP) for the new minimum kernel version, so you can't update.

This is the biggest reason Google is pushing for there being one version of the Android kernel, across all vendors: to make updates always possible.
Yes, on-the-street people are detaining people from doing what they are intending to do. Some people might not mind, but if you are interfering with someone it's detaining them. There are multiple definitions, and you seem to be stuck on the one.

It must have been one of the few well-made smartphones back then. It's still hard to make a perfectly waterproof seal that last for years and is inexpensive enough to use on a smartphone. Some team has to sit around designing it, so without the removable battery and seal they could in theory be freed up to do something else

Just because something is possible to do, doesn't mean every manufacturer wants to do it
>You don't know that you have asthma because you haven't been diagnosed by a doctor.

Sure I do. A doctor has told me as much on at least two different occasions. Once when I was a young child and again later.

But because I lost my insurance I didn't get treatment in-between, so I have to get rediagnosed. Jim other words, I'm just going to be relying on caffeine when breathing gets hard.
"Stuff like this is hard to validate. For most renaissance artists, their self-portraits are far from photorealistic."

Author here. Agreed, it's definitely not a science.

I suspect the author of this article I link to in the post might disagree though: http://www.laboratoiredanthropologieanatomiqueetdepaleopatho.... He is making an actual claim to scientific validity, complete with tables of measurements of the distance between Benvenuto Cellini's "lateral nasal point" and pupils in various potential self-portraits. I'm skeptical, but it's interesting to note that the author seems to know what he's talking about (director of a university paleopathalogy lab and "Expert en Anthropologie d'identification" for the French legal system).
Gen-X here. I was always a big fan of two spaces - because that is the way I was taught.

Ooh, thanks for sharing this.

I've just gotten around to Kahneman's "Thinking Fast and Slow" (2011) and it seems a LOT of the discussion in the book relies on non-reproduced or even reversed results in your list. I hope the book changes significantly in the second half, as the first half is essentially barren after reading your FORRT link.
In a few years all household appliances will be connected, including of course the already connected TVs, digital radios, IoT devices, etc. Adding a cheap and small MEMS microphone to one unused analog input of the appliance CPU would cost pennies and guarantee the manufacturers eternal "gratitude" from 3 government agencies.

> The Level1Techs KVM switches are rebranded Startech switches with 'dumber' firmwares whose dumbness affords better compatibility with niche DisplayPort features.

Rextron [1] is the actual ODM. They don't do any direct to consumer sales, though. That's why L1 / Startech / other "brands" sell them on amazon and the like.

Last I spoke with the L1 guy, they were still having some issues with the high speed USB-C switching chips on the 1x4 "all USB-C" model that he's got a wait-list for.

While the pitchfork argument may be appealing, the actual article makes a convincing case that it's just combinatorial expansion:

> As a result, the Transparency in Coverage rule requires insurance companies to do the math for patients and, in most cases, publish prices as dollar amounts. That’s helpful for patients, but it requires that a price be pre-calculated for every possible service.

... So, they could publish the rules engine instead of the combinatorial expansion of all possible inputs, but it sounds like the regulation did not specify that.
I mean, no offense but that's the perfect example of why this sort of thing is annoying.

It encourages people to do things that they wouldn't normally do that has negative (albeit minor). Extra unnessary commits complicate the git log. Intentionally getting your name on git blame makes finding the true commit slightly more annoying.

Sure these are incredibly minor things, but its still encouraging behaviour that is not positive.

Metric chasing is destructive.
Zero Trust Networking is just like the renewable energy transition
My point is, context shapes the approach in computer interaction. Certain actions like ordering Uber involve wait and load times, while others don't. Theee is no one-size-fits-all solution. The system should harmonize with the user, bridging the gap between existing conceptual models.
The operative word here, 'will', is in the future tense. Facile and dangerous AI agency may come soon, but agency alone does not eternally doom humanity to extinction. Again, agency within the information sphere is far different and much much more easily obtained than dominating agency in the physical world. Instead of focussing on illusory end of the world scenarios, the focus should shift to how AI is already being utilized to disrupt digital infrastructure. Much of the remediation needed is already well understood due to human black hat activities and threats.
The Building Blocks of Generative AI
I guess adding more variation to QubesOS systems would make it less secure as there is more room for bugs.
I thought they were blocked in the UK?
I mean like the incentives aren't aligned. So maybe you're giving an example but i'm honestly not sure. :)

in the space of cve or malware detection, the user wants a safe/secure computing experience with minimal overhead, but the antivirus / cve-scan vendor wants to claim that they're _keeping_ the you safe. so they're motivated to tell you all about the things they scanned and possible attacks / vectors they found. You probably would've been safe responding to only a subset of those alerts, but they have no incentive to minimize the things they show you, because if they ever missed one you would change vendors.

in the space of cryptography, the user wants secure communications that are unbreakable but with minimum hassle and overhead, but the advisory boards etc. are incentivized to act like they have important advice to give. So from the user perspective maybe it makes sense to use 2048 bit encryption for a few more decades, but from the "talking head" authority figure perspective, they can't afford to ever be wrong and it's good if they have something new to recommend every so often, so the easiest for them to do is to keep upping the number of bits used to encrypt, even if there's 99.99% odds that a smaller/shorter/simpler encryption would've been equally as secure.
MS does a fine engough job with Defender that I don't think this is needed. What we need is for the last of the third party AV vendors to die.
> Musk complains that the fee was too big because the case was simple...

Amazing sentences like this are why I read Money Stuff every day.
Are there similar cases?

I think the metric that matters is the amount of area left per Capita.
They're currently trying to move some of that control back to the OS, precisely to enable updates. But unfortunately, in the process they're also moving many core pieces of functionality into Google Play Services and making them proprietary.
>Qubes OS is a free and open-source, security-oriented operating system for single-user desktop computing. Qubes OS leverages Xen-based virtualization to allow for the creation and management of isolated compartments called qubes.

What's wrong with containers? They are supposed to provide better performance than VMs. Are containers less secure?
It's fine for light to moderate use, just don't expect to run a ton of AppVMs at once.

I've got an X250 (2C/4T) 16GB gutless wonder as my Qubes laptop, and it's fine. Qubes has memory balancing/clawback from VMs, so you can in practice have more AppVMs open than you'd expect - they'll be using less RAM, but it works.

If you're on a short-RAM laptop, though, definitely reduce Dom0's memory allocation. It defaults to 4GB, and you're perfectly fine with 2GB or perhaps even 1GB - there's not much going on in it, and that RAM is better used for AppVMs.

If you're short on cores, you might also look at the "sched-gran=core" flag to Xen. This allows hyperthreading, but ensures that hyperthreads are only ever scheduled in the same VM (and as the threat model assumes "anything in a VM can read anything else in a VM," a hyperthread-based leak doesn't gain an attacker any access you wouldn't otherwise have). The performance gains on a laptop can be noticeable.

Don't expect great battery life, though. Xen's power management is "present and accounted for," at best. There's also an incantation to disable turbo that helps a lot when mobile.
I think there's plenty of malice in the system, for example https://www.propublica.org/article/cigna-pxdx-medical-health...
The desktop is a great test of whether an OS is actually great, or it's just free and happens to work really well because servers have professional IT staff and powerful machines.

After so many years, they still don't have reliable "Every package even the ones not in the repos just works" status. It's mostly there, like, 99.9%, but stuff still breaks more than on Windows or Android. I suspect they never will, except for things like NixOS.

I used to think Linux was behind because of legacy reasons and game companies not being interested... but now I think Linux itself has something to do with it, and we should use that as motivation to improve.

Right now I think NixOS, or just accepting Snap packages, or waiting for Flatpak, might be the best/only chance, aside from moving to a batteries included OS like Android.

Seems like Nix really just needs GUI admin tools, everything else seems to be fairly polished.

> I just assume everything I do or say is recorded and stored forever on some redundant storage and can be easily searched if I'm ever notable enough to have influence.

That's the real problem with constant surveillance. Those in power can use it to find and silence anyone who they feel is a threat to them, or even anyone who they think might one day become a threat. I'm not sure that freedom and democracy can exist under conditions like that.
The AI models can, in many cases, reproduce large portions of the training data verbatim. (Some models have controls on top preventing this, but the underlying model has the data.)

And even if they can't reproduce the entire work, they're still derivative works of the training data.
