I think most people should wait, yes. There's a HUGE amount of pressure to get these things approved for weightloss. So most people can just wait and watch a year or two.

But to be clear, these drugs are already approved by the FDA for diabetes, so they've been studied heavily already for safety. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe diabetic people were intended to take this medication long-term. So it would have been studied and assessed for safety in that regime.

Really we're just waiting for studies specifically designed to measure efficacy on weight loss, and for the FDA to assess the specific risk-benefit balance of prescribing this medicine for weightloss. Seeing as how obesity is one of the leading causes of death in modern society, I wouldn't be surprised if the FDA is already leaning towards approving it if it passes efficacy. Which it most likely will; the diabetes studies reported something like 9 in 10 people losing something like 10-20% of their bodyweight? The signal was huge.

> The sporozoite preparation came directly from the salivary glands of mosquitoes, which had been dissected, ground up, and irradiated. But how to purify this preparation remained an open question. It mattered because waste material from mosquitoes’ salivary glands could be dangerous, causing embolisms or severe reactions if injected.

I'm amazed that dissecting mosquitoes to extract malaria parasites for use in a vaccine actually produced enough material to test it on animals, and even more amazed that they've kept working on this approach since 1967. The article links to https://www.wired.com/story/tiny-guillotine-decapitates-mosq... which mentions that they had people dissecting 300 mosquitoes an hour before introducing some automation to handle 30 simultaneously.

(It doesn't mention though how they deal with the dangerous waste material problem.)

My newest hack: I have a note on my phone called “Things I should do instead of checking twitter”. I have also hidden the app. So whenever I want to start it up, I have to search for it and now also the note shows up…

I usually first check the note and get reminded of all the productive, cool, fun things I could do instead. It works about 50% of the time.
"The original protocol used to check the authenticity of an email implicitly assumes that each organization operates its own mailing infrastructure, with specific IP addresses not used by other domains. But today, many organizations outsource their email infrastructure to Gmail and Outlook. As a result, thousands of domains have delegated the right to send email on their behalf to the same third party."

"For example, state.gov, the email domain for the Department of State, allows Outlook to send emails on their behalf. This means emails claiming to be from state.gov would be considered legitimate if they came from Outlook’s email servers. As a result, an attacker can create a spoofed email–an email with a fake identity–pretending, for example, to come from the Department of State--and then forward it through their personal Outlook account. Once they do this, the spoofed email will now be treated as legitimate by the recipient, as it is coming from an Outlook email server."
I really feel sad every time I read about mosquito born diseases. It is very hard for a person in the US to understand how terrible of a problem this is 600000 people each year!!!

I really hope to see the day when we eradicate all disease carrying mosquitos.

>We defer to miracles in science too

No we don’t. You’re overloading different definitions of “miracle” to feel better about a bad position.

A miracle is science is an unlikely or unexpected result, something which is then followed by further investigation.

A miracle in religion is an event influenced by the supernatural.

Does it not get tiring making arguments like “Well, it’s the same word!!!!!1!1!1!1!1!”?

The title of the Reason article, and this post, are both in right-wing territory.

ALL private housing is a "city's housing stock".

The idea that just because someone can afford to buy something entitles them to do whatever they want with it is estreemism.

If the definition of "property" was restricted to an individual's personal possessions, then stronger demands for autonomy are justified, but when it includes everything owned and operated for profit, we're no longer talking about a person's right to their own property, but about a business model. Which should be more hightly regulated.
I'm all for rewriting things in Rust too but if it's a fundamental architectural problem that you just port over to the new language, you're essentially brute forcing it with an interpreted to compiled language change rather than solving the underlying issue. For example, running a O(n^2) operation rather than an O(n) one.
Agreed.

Posting your pitch on a technical public forum should have a random critically minded technical person in mind.
It doesn't matter whether it's free or you're paying either — your consumer data from the grocery store and other retail purchasers is already tied to the ad grid too. If you buy a can of cat food you'll get cat toy ads on Instagram.

The harsh reality, despite what privacy pundits might say, is that people... just don't really care. And that's fine? It's great Apple lets me tell an app not to track me. But if they didn't? It doesn't make material difference to me. Okay I bought cat food and now I see cat toys Instagram ads that I may or may not buy... okay?

It's not like insurance companies are able to use the data to deny you health coverage or something (yet, anyway). It's just used to support more consumerism atm. When that bridge is crossed then people might care, until then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I detect the sarcasm but not the point. Successively oppressive regimes are history, not fiction. Oppressors using new technology to oppress is also history. When general purpose robots become practical they will absolutely be weaponized as oppressive tools.

I have never thought about that, but it is exactly spot on. They're really good at what they do and really bad at selling it. Word of mouth seems to be the only way they get customers. I read about them on reddit and started using them. Now I tell everyone about that service.

That proves the point.
Ah, where to start ...

128-bit addresses are annoyingly huge. 64 bits would have been enough. Even 48 bits gives you 64 thousand times the ipv4 address space. 64 bits gives you 4 billion times the ipv4 address space. In practice the 128-bit address space has been used as wastefully as it allows e.g. giving a whole /64 to a single server (4 billion ipv4 internets to just a single server!)

Link-local addresses being automatically assigned to every interface, as they are with ipv6 (fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx) means that you need to use an interface index or name to distinguish them, so now addresses sometimes need a "%XX" added on the end, e.g. fe80::1ff:fe23:4567:890a%eth2 (this is specific to the source machine, not dest ...)

IPv6 was originally designed to not have DHCP, but in practice we still need DHCP (DHCPv6) in most cases.

There were a bunch of schemes to try to bootstrap ipv6 adoption and they all made it worse. Way back in the 2000s my cable company had some 6to4 servers that worked. Then later there was "teredo" tunneling included in windows vista I think. And there were more. They're all pretty much forgotten now. The problem was that they gave some percent of consumer computers (maybe 2%? maybe 5%?) a false impression of working ipv6, and these computers would hang when trying to access websites that advertised ipv6 addresses in dns responses. So, many websites that had ipv6 at one point, removed it, for many years, until late 2010s ("ipv6 day" etc). This was fixed with the "happy eyeballs" algorithm and other tricks like not returning ipv6 addresses from dns requests made over ipv4 (not sure how widely this was done, but it was done by some significant number of ISPs). Anyway this set back adoption by 10 years probably.

There was even a problem where linux had a sysctl option to automatically listen on a "mapped" ipv6 address whenever a process listened on an ipv4 address, this was automatically enabled on some popular linux distros. Later, when the process tried to explicitly listen on a port on ipv6, it would fail because something was already listening on that port on the wildcard address. So companies had to figure out this issue and disable that sysctl option - but, again, the typical response was "screw it just disable ipv6 everywhere".

I'm typing this from a corporate laptop with ipv6 explicitly disabled even though my current network supports it, because the required corporate VPN doesn't support ipv6. Today.
after getting owned by intuits bs 2 years in a row, I went to an accountant. $70/y, he does EVRYYHING, no gotyas or bs. I walk in or drop off all the papers he needs, he asks me a bunch of questions, files everything, I leave with all my federal, state, and local taxes filed. he guarantees a backup, I get a envelope with everything in it labels nicely, and if I ever get audited, he guarantees that he will handle all of the audit procedures as part of the cost, no extra cost.

that type of easy service and peace of mind is just toooo good for only $70. blows my mind that everyone doesn't do it.
> It really is, but I still favour "unsexy" manual poll/select code with a lot of if/elseing if it means not having to deal with async.

> I fully acknowledge that I'm an "old school" system dev who's coming from the C world and not the JS world, so I probably have a certain bias because of that, but I genuinely can't understand how anybody could look at the mess that's Rust's async and think that it was a good design for a language that already had the reputation of being very complicated to write.

I'm in the same "old school" system dev category as you, and I think that modern languages have gone off the deep end, and I complained about async specifically in a recent comment on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37342711

> At least my clunky select "runtime" code can be safely contained in a couple functions while the rest of the code remains blissfully unaware of the magic going on under the hood.

And we could have had that for async as well, if languages were designed by the in-the-trenches industry developer, and not the "I think Haskell and Ocaml is great readability" academic crowd.

With async in particular, the most common implementation is to color the functions by qualifying the specific function as async, which IMO is exactly the wrong way to do it.

The correct way would be for the caller to mark a specific call as async.

IOW, which of the following is clearer to the reader at the point where `foo` is called?

Option 1: color the function

async function foo () {
// ...
}
...
let promise = foo ();
let bar = await promise;

Option 2: schedule any function

function foo () {
// ...
}

let sched_id = schedule foo ();

...

let bar = await sched_id;

Option 1 results in compilation errors for code in the call-stack that isn't async, results in needing two different functions (a wrapper for sync execution), and means that async only works for that specific function. Option 2 is more like how humans think - schedule this for later execution, when I'm done with my current job I'll wait for you if you haven't finished.
I work at Nylas (Gmail/MS/IMAP email & calendar connectivity APIs) on the product side and I really wish something like this received adoption.

Between the insufficiencies of IMAP for server-side use and the disparities between the "winners" of the space, the lowest common denominator of what's supported for email is abysmally small.
part of that cost likely comes from the information being hard to obtain, but if EVERY company was required to publish that information it'd be much easier for any other company to do it too, no?

for example, right now a given company has no idea how much carbon their electricity/building/deliveries/whatever cost, so they'd have to figure that out themselves... but if everyone knew that from the ground up, that'd be a lot easier for any other company to produce.

there could also be network effects if those reports had to be public, because common vendors' data could be re-used. e.g. UPS knows that their carbon costs for delivering packages are X KG of carbon per KgKm of package-travel, or something, so then everyone can use that factor in their own maths.

It'd be incredible effort still, but I see the value. So much "climate damage" now is just classed as economic externalities simply because we don't have a good way to quantify it reliably. Requiring companies to know and disclose that would go a long way to addressing that, and enabling strategic policy response.
> deepfake child porn means that any prosecution or attempt to help the victims now has to go through an additional "was the victim a real human being?" phase, which adds both confusion and expense.

Where on earth is this true?

If you're in the US and involved in that scene, you'd better reread the law. The verbiage was ahead of its time and specifically-phrased to mitigate these very shenanigans: "photorealistic," not "photographic."

One of the fun things people used to do was create a diptych of a child's face next to a scene involving a faceless/cropped-but-legal teen. Technically, no child was harmed, but simply framing it that way runs afoul of US law. We do not fuck around on this.

The UK has convicted people for manga.

> add the fact that any system which can generate just one realistic image can also generate 10 million of them, and you get a deluge of deepfakes which could allow the real stuff — the kind that also functions as criminal evidence — to hide in plain sight.

Hahaha. Considering the above, I would advise against generating and possessing 10 million photorealistic CSAM images.
Have you looked at statistics on how criminal juries rule?

I don't find that a convincing argument.
The reason we don't see new grid storage tech succeed is because there is no market for it.

Seems like there ought to be a market... every electrical system in the world would be much better off with gobs of storage.

But there isn't... because...

Electrical markets are very highly regulated. The barriers to market entry are astronomical and quite frankly uninvestable.

When I was active in the space, no utility would even think of buying a piece of new hardware unless the design had a 7 year track record in actual on grid operation for a respected utility. Not quite a pure circular fallacy, but darn close.

There are a lot of good technologies out there that really do work.

But they can't attracted funding to scale because they simply can't reliably access the market.

The grid scale energy storage problem is social, not a technical.
It is a really weird situation tbh. I see the same trend at Google. Their smart features have been getting worse.

> .. why passwords? What do they do? What do they protect?

They protect data/accounts on other machines. Similar to a piece of paper you'd write a password on but probably with added encryption, which would be difficult on paper.

Well I upvoted this because I use Procreate the famous iOS drawing app often and think that it's cool that the same company is coming out with a high quality OTP app for animation. If this just isn't your cup of tea though, that's alright. But I wouldn't accuse this of being some advert pinned to the top artificially, even if this was outside my tech bubble.

There are constantly links to products posted on this site without them being anything more than the marketing site. Heck, there's Show HN which sometimes features similar content, but even more explicitly posts that serve as advertisements.
I get you're being sarcastic, but what are they expected to say? "Yep, we're guilty?". Nobody seriously thinks that they should be acquitted on the basis of their denial.
> we can track how it creates these capabilities.

Could you explain what you mean here? To the best of my knowledge, there hasn't been much success in successfully explaining how LLMs actually work? Of course we know all the low level mathematical details, we built them. But my understanding is that we don't really know much about the structure of LLM parameters and how they relate to the concepts the model is supposedly learning.

> Some problems demand a lot of concurrency. The canonical example, described by Dan Kagel as the C10K problem back in 1999, is a web server connected to tens of thousands of concurrent users. At this scale, threads won’t cut it—while they’re pretty cheap,5 fire up a thread per connection and your computer will grind to a halt.

Try it. It'll probably work fine. It may be very expensive, memory wise, but it's easy to get a machine with a lot of memory.

Today, corporate leaders are fundamentally, and therefore rationally, aligned toward optimizing short term results.

Their personal risk is short term profit shortfalls, while shareholders and the corporation as a whole carry the longer term risks.

Even more misaligned, is the case of public companies.

The shorter term someone holds shares, the more impact they have (buying & selling) on current share price, while demanding shorter term results.

Without actual personal accountability from company leaders, criminal & civil, no amount of long term corporate risk, will change their rational response to incentives.

There is a good reason that dynamic companies “over compensate” their leaders with eye watering stock grants. It isn’t well earned compensation. It is a tool to align interests, benefitting everyone.

But for slower growing companies, that is too costly.

So for all companies, liability protection for shareholders should be matched by liability acceptance not just from the corporation as a whole, but when it comes to malfeasance, individuals responsible for the malfeasance.

Just curious about the degree of compatibility with node, can I alias/symlink node to bun and everything will continue to work but faster?
I forget the specifics at the moment, but impl Borrow didn't work for my case, I definitely tried it and expected it to work though.

I'll check the Cow crate.
It does! At least the base setup works with "bun run node-red". I will have to test third-party modules, of course, but the 3.1.0 release seems to work OK in 15 minutes of testing.

I'll have to see how it goes on slower machines, ARM, etc.

Thanks!
