FWIW they fixed the DNS over TCP issue. [1] The only DNS issue I've run into is a lack of IPv4/IPv6 DNS lookup ordering preference like glibc's /etc/gai.conf. Useful in data-centers where 100% of lookups on specific nodes/roles are and always will be IPv4

I too use Alpine on just about everything. I'm happy with it. I do wish it would keep one old kernel around after upgrades but I worked around that.

> About a decade ago there used to be a site in the Polish internet called "Strata Kazika" (Kazik's Loss). At that time Kazik was one of the most vocal anti-piracy artists who equaled copying to stealing.

This is highly irrelevant. I didn't say anything about stealing. The actual music revenue collapsed starting from 1999. Due to pure magic apparently!
As wonderful as it has been to have a platform that the entire world is on at once, I'm beginning to conclude that the only way to get back to the web as we knew it is to go back to the days when only a small, geeky subset of the population spent time on here. Back then it wasn't worth it to create massive amounts of garbage content in order to serve ads to unwary search engine users—there weren't enough of us to make money off of!

I think it's time to establish a successor to the web that we can once again call home. This doesn't mean we need to give up on the web or stop using it—it can run in parallel to the mainstream, a niche home for hackers and techies and people who care about freedom. It needs to be simple, like Gemini [0], but also have enough interactive features to enable old-school social apps like HN or the old Reddit. It should have a spec and a governance process that discourages rapid changes—we've learned from hard experience that more features does not mean better.

I realize this sounds like a cop out, and that getting people to use such a thing in sufficient numbers would be extremely difficult. But I'm pretty convinced at this point that the web as we knew it will never come back unless there's a reset—unless we create a new niche tech that isn't big enough for corporations to want to take over.

There is a lot in this piece taken from Boom, but this article paints GoGo in a much worse light. It more or less says he's unscrupulous when it comes to the source of money (Russian Oligarch's) being used to buy art. It also makes him out to be a shadowy market maker, representing both sides of a transaction where neither buyer nor seller know who each other are.
There might be people outside of the conference targeting attendees.
It's not that they obliterate creativity, it's that they shape it in one or two very specific ways. Let me tell a story with some background as an example:

Our rule in our family is that smart devices are a reward; finish your chores, get x number of minutes on tablet; do a good dead unasked get x number of minutes on tablet, that sort of thing. The one major difference in our family is that all smart devices (save for GPS) are banned on road trips/car rides. Boredom is essential to the developing mind and fosters imagination and creativity. I am convinced of that.

Recently, we had some of our child's friends over for sleepovers around his birthday. We live in a rural area, so playing in the woods and dinking around outside are sort of standard. Some of the kids' parents were uncomfortable with us just letting them go tear ass around in the woods, so I went with them to supervise (another issue entirely). I noticed that the games they played fell into two categories; those influenced by smart devices and those not.

The kids who had little- to no-access to smart devices built dams, played forts, looked at bugs and tried to figure out how to make them fight - the sorts of outdoor activities you would expect to see on Leave it to Beaver or some other old show like that.

The kids who have constant access to smart devices played as if they were in fortnight or some other videogame and were narrating their experience/acting like a streamer in more and more outrageous ways to get attention from their friends.

It's not that they weren't creative, but they were creative within incredibly specific parameters established by a videogame company.

So, I don't know that they obliterate creativity, as much as they focus it into something that is different sorts of creativity. Good, bad, or indifferent I don't really know. I think it's probably bad, but don't know for sure.
...send it to the gooGAOL
Stop making teachers jobs harder. They are overworked and underpaid as is, and now asking them to fight for attention with a kids smartphone in class just creates a hostile adversarial relationship with their students, that harms the learning process.

An outright ban will make their job easier.
Legislation doesn't exist in a vacuum. I imagine there are more smartphones in classroom today that the number of GameBoy ever sold.
This is not 'just' restored websites from the Internet Archive - do checkout the video linked in another comment also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FSd-XhGLqk

Some of the things they've done: era-appropriate bandwith throttling, download (FPT) restoration, implemented historical search engines with a custom backend, implemented other sites (such as weather) with custom backends. What an effort!
I’m not fucking around with a container that doesn’t have a package manager in it. apk does a pretty good job of not being populated with hot garbage.

How to connect with your future self
I would support this purely on the basis of reducing the privacy invasion of those children by those devices. The confusion is any other devices they use will similarly be phoning home so I would advocate for their removal too.

The future seems to involve some sort of macro Tesla aesthetic where more than you thought reasonable has been removed, what is there may not be executed well, and what displays etc there are in one physical region all go through one single point of control/truth attestation with other devices banned. In the case of a school that will be the school IT which they may outsource.
So, did they just take it from the guy who had that handle before?
I was the same way. My struggle with the book was the way that Gibson presents new lore. He doesn't say "this is an ono-sendai deck; it allows the user to enter cyberspace. it connects to your head here, here, and here". That's how Neal Stephenson writes. Gibson just presents you with an in-universe object or character or company, and talks about it as if you already know what he's talking about, and it's up to you, the reader, to figure it out.

He even does this with narrative. Two male characters will be having a conversation, and all of a sudden the next line will say something like

> "[dialog]", she said

Without introducing who SHE is. You have to wait for the next page to figure out, based on her description.

It drove me insane for years, but now I like it and I've gotten used to it. I like count zero and its characters more than neuromancer. I'm reading virtual light right now but am taking a break to read John Romero's Doom Guy. I'll get to Mona Lisa Overdrive eventually
If they're going to report on this then I sure hope the media demands more than third hand personal testimony. If there's anything real here then it has to be global and we have no indication that people all over the world have seen anything similar.
> they were more expensive because they didn't have to compete against piracy.

Bull. Any reasonably-sized town had at least one "dodgy" seller of pirated CDs.

CDs were expensive because they were fundamentally a vanity item, with sleeves and goodies. That empowered middlemen and official distribution chains which, in developed countries, is typically where profit accumulates. Artists themselves, under contract with labels, couldn't buy CDs at cost to sell at concerts - labels were pressured to protect the distribution chains.

CDs made middlemen rich, not artists.
iTunes was not available everywhere. It was officially available in Eastern Europe only around 2011/2012. And in many other countries even later. Around the same time as Spotify which was a lot better service.

Before that I could either buy ridiculously overpriced CDs or go to ThePirateBay which was available in my country from day one. So yeah - it absolutely was a service problem.

Soon after Spotify appeared I stopped pirating, because Spotify offered a much better service than piracy sites and brick & mortar stores for a reasonable price.
Firefox is also missing a don't allow any website to play audio unless explicitly enabled setting (mute tabs by default, except on allowed sites), as far as I can tell.
Won't this just accelerate the reinventions of wheels that's happening everywhere on the Internet?
Firefox was better than IE6, but it was the sheer force of nerds that dragged it across the finish line because neither the enterprise nor the general population otherwise cared.
A lot of people don’t realize that caffeine is not the only substance that affects our body when we drink coffee.

There is also paraxanthine, which is a metabolite of caffeine that has a similar half-life and similar effects.

Paraxanthine can increase lipolysis, which means it breaks down fat and releases fatty acids into the bloodstream. It can also enhance alertness, mood, and cognitive performance.

So, even when the caffeine levels in your blood start to drop, the paraxanthine levels are still high and keep you stimulated. That’s why the effects of coffee can last much longer than you think.
Out of curiosity, how do you self-blind? Do you have a friend make your coffee for you, with/without the additive?
I know that is a possible problem. Partially, that problem exists with everything; advertisements make people buy from the most popular brands even if they are not the best. Other than that, the developers in this cooperation have to trust each other so if someone is just popular and doesn't make any good software, they would not be accepted by the other developers to join.
Thanks for the extra info!!
That ship has sailed long ago. The choices are either domestication and industrial breeding, or extinction.
We've also done some PoCs at work, and the total build time for our UI layer (complex C++/Qt stuff) dropped from 44-45 mins to 29 by going from lld to mold on a smaller test build machine.
The idea is that an operating system service provides the attestation. In turn, the OS is signed, with the bootloader verifying the signature. The bootloader is also signed, with a hardware chip verifying the signature.

The infrastructure to do signed OS loading is already in place, and on some operating systems (e.g. Android), the OS attestation service is already in place. So everything is mostly in place already to have your browser attest that it is official Google chrome on Google Android on an approved device with a hardware chip that verifies a Google approved boot signature. That hardware chip contains a Google approved private key (a key that's signed by a manufacturer that Google has in turn approved/signed) that can't be extracted, and that's the key that makes the attestation. Replace the hardware boot verify chip with one that will verify software you want, and you lose your attestation key.

They could also make the OS service reach out to a web service to get an attestation that the attestation key hasn't been revoked, so even if someone did physically extract the key from hardware and share it, it could be revoked (assuming each device gets its own key).

In effect, wide use of this kind of thing means that open source software is no longer free since even if you can look at the code, you must be part of the anointed class (i.e. working within our approved by a major corporation) to edit it and run your edits.
Thank you for sharing these results!
I wonder which language they chose for this project? I couldn't find any reference to that in that blog post.

People really don't read my blog posts very well.
I saw plenty of game boys confiscated. Cellphones are in a strange place because they have actual utility, while also letting people play games.
An artist friend of mine with no programming knowledge used ChatGPT to produce a variety of cool visuals for a music gig, in Processing - spinning wireframes, bobbing cube grids, that sort of thing. They didn't even know they needed to use Processing at first - ChatGPT told them everything. They had an aesthetic in mind, and ChatGPT helped them deliver.

It's a revolution, and it's here.
High-NA Lithography Starting to Take Shape
The American people have the truth: there aren't any aliens. Occasionally there are lights in the sky that we can't figure out, but there's zero reason to think that it's aliens and a million more likely explanations.

That's the truth. Some Americans don't want it to be the truth, but that's not the same thing. They can examine every file in every agency and they won't get a different answer, or change their insistence that something is being hidden from them.
I honestly didn't find the article to be that great...just a predictable New Yorker piece circa 2023, complete with all the "checkboxes" that need to be mentioned. Gagosian himself, however, I find super fascinating, and most of his life is covered here.
Yeah long after the circuit is fine I basically never stop massaging the pcb.

It's probably some form of disorder but why not? The software is free and the pcbs are $30 including the dhl fast shipping.
I really like what I have by v028! And bonus I am now killer at damage free desolering and transplanting parts haha.

Some of these cpld and flash parts have been through the ultrasonic so many times by now they must have accumulated literally hours of time and it's a wonder they haven't been damaged by that much time in the buzzer.

I swear some weeks my favorite tv show is just twirling the 3d render around and around in kicad.
I use Apple devices for work, but a combination of Windows, Linux, and Android for personal use, and I like that Firefox can sync between all of them.

I will concede that if you're all-in on Apple, then Safari is certainly more convenient. It's also more power efficient on macOS, so if I know I'm going to be on battery all day, I may switch to Safari for the day.
Corporations controlling the existence of an entire species. Sickening.
As a general rule of thumb, web technology has traditionally separated the content and protocol from the browser ("user agent") in terms of concerns. By which I mean, a user agent needs to be able to handle any possible input without breaking, and a web server needs to be able to handle any possible request without breaking.

WEI tries to shortcut that process by creating a secured sign-off system that would allow the server to only respond to queries from a blessed hardware and software configuration. This wildly constrains the user agents that would be possible. The pro for web developers is that they wouldn't have to concern themselves with whether their server or the HTML they are. Emitting is broadly standards compliant and compatible; they can just make sure it works with the target platforms they care about and rest easy knowing no other platforms can touch their system. But this is bad for anybody who, for whatever reason, can't use the blessed platforms (user agent and hardware combinations).

Immediate practical consequences are that a lot of the screen reader solutions people use would probably break (because the screen readers wouldn't be certified user agents), a lot of clever hacks would be far less feasible (the website somebody hacked together to track whether the ice cream machine was broken at McDonald's restaurants relied upon being able to pretend it was the McDonald's smartphone app well enough to attempt to put ice cream in the shopping bag), and it would basically become impossible to build a new browser or operating system from scratch compatible with the web (they wouldn't work with the websites people wanted to use because they wouldn't be certified as authentic on any of those sites).

This proposal grossly changes the balance of power on how the web works and places most of it in the hands of the incumbent browser and computer hardware vendors.
those aren't mutually exclusive explanations
Turning red is accurate /verified.

The only place I’ve personally witnessed wide spread mass transit use for youth in school is Japan. Totally normal and feels safe.
Are you serious… as a kid pulling out a Gameboy in the middle of class and just sitting there playing a game would feel like a death sentence. The equivalent of walking into a bank with an assault rifle firing wildly in the air.
If you live in a representative democracy, and Google has a presence there, contact the offices of those representatives. These things don't always seem like they matter, but sometimes they do. Big tech generally (and Google specifically) is a pretty popular target right now -- seemingly worldwide and across most ideological divisions.
Yes, but Google has a strong existing relationship, the D party owes them for that one and some other favours. Can you find a link for any recent FTC action against Google (not against Google's competitors or some tiny subsidiary of Google)? I hope I'm wrong here.
It seemed like a nice company, but they always seemed out of time. It was difficult getting the recruiter to call me back, and they always scheduled things WAY out. They weren't even a big tech company, they were a mid size logistics company. Took me like 2 months of a handful of interviews to eventually tell them I'm not interested
Elon Musk takes control of X account from user who had held it for 16 years
Police working conditions can be very difficult. Imagine you are moderating 4chan, but in person with public safety on the line. Sometimes teaching conditions can be like that too.

A major difference is that police often evade consequences for very bad decisions, and teachers often don't and for much more benign things.
I'm not talking about syscalls, but that in modern times everything of value is in your account, and computers are rarely shared.

So when you download a game your threat model isn't that it might want to mess with the kernel, but that it's going to steal all your data from your browser cache. Dealing with that requires some sort of sandboxing.
Because they have my money?
It is true if your model is statically shaped. ONNX is also a collection of C++ code , a C++ library for doing shape inference. You cannot project the C++ code to another high level programming language.
Yeah. You can't expect every swing to be a home run, but you also miss every swing you don't take. My point is at least they're trying to do something now, unlike previous decades. It will take some time and effort to bring the agency back around to being effective after decades of inactivity. That's not going to happen if future administrations put the FTC back on the bench.
> While I dislike the elecronification trend, cars are definitely better than they were 30-40 years ago, in a completely different league when it comes to reliability. Plenty of people also like the touchscreens or seemingly superflous features like Tesla's dog mode. Not gearheads but many normies genuinely do.

This is because of state (mostly California) and federal laws passed, with the most aggressive taking effect in 2015.

The only reason Ford isn't selling you a Shit-Wagon is because they can't, by law.

Touchscreens are ass for doing anything while driving. I live in a city and cannot safely change my AC unless I'm at a stoplight. No knobs / only touchscreen is definitely a dealbreaker for my next vehicle, and all research suggests that the "normies" hate them too.

During the 80's C was hardly the primary alternative to anything outside UNIX.
I am not sure what you are arguing. What is the mechanism you are proposing?

It sounds like "overhead depresses wages", but outside of a few special cases like Academia, I don't really see much evidence of that. Until recently we had chronically loose labor markets. There is simply no reason to presume employers are handing out all they can in that case. And the ones that are and not paying above-market wages are, by definition, low-productivity businesses that do not deserve to exist.

That's the great thing about high employment: as the "floor" of acceptable comp/working conditions goes up, we find all sorts of shitty (typically small) businesses that cannot make it. Those shitty businesses do fine in the Obama years when everyone is desperate for work, but they can't cut it now. They go under when they can't hire, and average productivity rises accordingly.
Reads like you’re extrapolating your own experiences, if I do the same you get the opposite answer, my school in the early 2000s had computer rooms you were free to use for coding or other projects at lunchtime. It’s not either/or. A school can provide smart devices for use on school premises locked down with appropriate apps. Your parents were coming from a position of ignorance whereas now parents have first hand experience of the negative effects of smart phone use.
It's good PR CYA. They ensure that there will be a much lower chance of an article headlined "mass shooting at rust conference" being written.

I am personal'y of the opinion that brands play it too safe in general and people aren't stupid and know that just because a brand happened to be near something bad doesn't mean the brand is responsible and therefore bad, but apparently brands don't agree and they're the ones calling the shots on where they're displayed.
> the human population will equal 0 someday because we will have further evolved into something else.

Ah, there are other possible paths. 1) Extinction (which has happened to many species) without any evolutionary successors. 2) Artificial life (it evolves without us). 3) Something else evolves (long after we are gone) and becomes the dominant species on the planet.

Humanity has limited options, but nature doesn't and we can't count on it doing us any favors.
Mold is amazing. I was playing around with O3DE some months ago, and tried switching to Mold to see if it could improve my build-run cycle times, and it absolutely did. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was something crazy like multiple seconds with gold and lld, down to under a second with mold.
My thing was doodling in the notebook. In addition to abstract designs I came up with several characters, drew single-pane comics of them interacting with each other, and so on.

Gameboy was risky in class (never saw anyone do that), but several of us did bring our NDS to assemblies and used the wireless chat feature.
I never have any real issues with Firefox, and when I do I simply don't use that site. I have my girlfriend and mother using Firefox as main browser on desktop and mobile, with uBlock Origin and they've never complained.

I did have issues during an interview in Microsoft Teams refusing to play my video. "Your browser is not supported", yeah fuck you it's not supported. I explain why, ask if we can switch to Hangouts and send a link.

Works fine, if more people had the balls to do the same we wouldn't be in this situation today. It's our duty to educate people instead of conforming to the path of least resistance.
