If they understood what the backup was, would they want to pay for it? My guess here is that most people do want the backups and so the on-device storage doesn’t matter that much for photos. Maybe people want to use google photos and avoid iCloud backups and that requires more storage on device? I don’t know about that

How is 2.5 bits possible? Is it an average between 2 and 3 over all weights?
Snark aside, when it comes to nix boxes, I've personally basically given up - for all of the "system" software I trust apt or other package managers, whereas in the case of any "services" I want to run (mail servers, web servers, backup services, databases, APIs) everything is run in containers with custom bind mount directories, to not pollute the host file system with crap that might get left over when removing a service or putting it on another node.

So something like "/var/lib/postgresql/data" in the container becomes something like "/app/my-postgres-service-12/var/lib/postgresql/data" on the host.

I have just one directory to backup, I can also move it to different nodes entirely and OS upgrades don't break anything either due to the running software being decoupled from the OS somewhat.

But my Linux and Windows desktops? It's absolute Wild West over there and I just reinstall the entire OS every few years - they're beyond saving.

There are some related studies on the effect of wind turbines on storms and how wind turbines could protect against hurricanes by sapping a portion of their energy. While the answer is that they could, the amount of turbines required for that is enormous.

This one for example mentions in the abstract that by using an amount of turbines collectively making up 300 GW of capacity, it could severely reduce wind speeds of a hurricane:
https://www.nature.com/articles/nclimate2120

300 GW is 2/3 of the power consumption of the entire US and you would need all of those in a small-ish area just to dampen, not fully absorb, a catastrophic storm's energy. Even after those wind speed reductions, there is very strong wind.

If you scatter those turbines in a larger area, you can imagine that the effect will be much more diluted. There is so much energy in the atmosphere that we won't put much of a dent in it with our current energy consumption.

The array-pointer decaying magic in C requires too much mind-bending. Most of the standard library for string processing is insecure. No boolean types. No name-spacing.

As far as I can say, with a European state of mind, is that a credit card poses a risk and temptation for the average person. Not everyone is financially responsible, many times simply due to lack of proper financial education, and they deserve a little attention.

Some will simply never have considered it — these risks are well-known in tech communities, but less-so in the general public, even including some game developers.

Others will have considered it and weighed it up like any other risk. It's possible that a terrorist will destroy your warehouse, but the chances are so low that it's not worth shutting down your business over. You're still entitled to be angry at the terrorist for doing it, though.

And for some people, drugs like Valium act as stimulants. My dad had that problem. He also had two different medical conditions that were rare enough that they each got separately dramatized on "House, MD". When my mom passed away, I got a copy of his medical file. There were multiple binders, filling multiple shelves.

Just before our wedding, my dad had an crisis, and had to go to the hospital with an infection. He went to Johns Hopkins. They put him in the research wing. The doctors couldn't figure out what the heck to do with him because he was reacting so weird to so many medications. They ended up having to pump him full of vancomycin in hopes that he would last long enough on the three hour flight to get back home where his regular doctor could see him.

People are individuals, and their bodies can react in weird and unexpected ways.

> Where you got this notion of determinism (...) is a fancy set of mental gymnastics which is inconsistent with any known Christian teachings.

Nice try. But I'm assuming you are just unfamiliar with the history of the Christian church. Or if you just want to weigh in on the side of orthodoxy. But there is obviously a logical conflict between the notions of free will vs the deterministic aspect of religious teaching, sometimes called divine foreknowledge.

It has been the topic of more or less heated discussion up through the ages, where some people claim they have cracked the code (St. Augustine primarily). See these Wikipedia articles for a brief overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will_in_theology, and here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will_in_antiquity#Christi....

Or, maybe it's mainly the link between determinism and nonjudgement that you refer to as "mental gymnastics" etc (even though that's not what you are saying)? Well, granted that's not lifted from any theology that I'm aware of. It just seems a reasonable conclusion, given the premise of a predetermined world. And maybe also a way to sneak in a reminder that religion (and Christianity in particular) is mostly about keeping track of the beam in one's own eye, rather then the mote in someone else's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mote_and_the_Beam
I'm still waiting for this too... I suspect I will be waiting a very long time.
We onow exactly what such a world looks like, the approach the "author" advocates for was already tried multiple times. In fact, it is currently being tried in multiple places. Ans besides causing suffering upon suffering, it doesn't do anything.

If that's what consequentionalists believe, they are very far down the rabbit hole that accepts destroying lives and killing people for some greater goal. A very dangerous way of thinking indeed...

Use Deno. You don't need to deal with `package.json` and `node_modules`. You can have full programs in a single script that import their dependencies within the script. The build scaffolding can range from 0 to whatever you need.

I actually returned to JS scripting after a long hiatus thanks to Deno. And now like the language a lot more.

> can't you write [a self-deleting executable] in C?

The point of the exercise is that, on Windows, you can’t, because Windows won’t let anyone delete executables that are currently in use (try it, you won’t be able to delete one either). Upgrading shared DLLs in the face of this fact is why installers for Windows programs often have to have you reboot the system (and in more civilized times asked you to close other programs before installation to reduce the probability of hitting a locked DLL). It’s also why there’s a registry key[1] containing a list of rename and delete actions to be performed on next reboot (usually accessed via the MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT flag to MoveFileEx).

You can’t (straightforwardly[2]) make a self-deleting batch script, either, because the command interpreter parses a command at a time and so wants the batch file to exist. The Windows Scripting Host, on the other hand, will parse the whole file at once, close it, and then forget about it, so you can write self-deleting WSH scripts.

The workaround used by the uninstaller under discussion is instead for the executable to inject some code into the Windows Explorer (on the assumption that it’s always running and the user has to have access permissions for it) that accomplishes the deletion through return-oriented programming, so that the stack it’s executing from can then disappear into the wind (apparently? I’m not seeing how they plan to clean that up).

On a POSIX system you are explicitly allowed to delete any open file—including an executing one—making it languish in a kind of system-managed limbo (and take up disk space, invisibly) until it’s closed. The tradeoff is then that it’s impossible to ensure you’ve opened the same file as somebody else when all you have is its name. (I think you can at least check for success, provided you also have the device and inode numbers for it.)

>What’s a useful amount of tokens/second?

Depends entirely on your application. If you want a real time chatbot, anything more than 10 tokens/s is probably generating text faster than the user can read, so it's fine. Do you want code suggestions or completions? Probabaly also fine, but a bit slow. Do you want to create summaries for 1000 documents? That's gonna be really slow. But at this frontier of the field, tokens/s is not really the issue. Performance vs. quality is. If you lose a whole lot of accuracy by quantizing floats down to single digit precisions but in turn are able to run 70B parameter models, you often still get better results than less thoroughly quantized 7B parameter models. It's all about getting big models to run on memory limited GPUs.
I don't think any major desktop OS handles this well.

I suspect the final form for software installation is probably where iOS and Android are going in the EU, where there's a single means of installing software to the device so that everything can be sandboxed properly, but the acquisition/update process can be pointed to a URL/Store that the user has pre-approved.

macOS comes pretty close to what I'd ideally want in an OS with regards to installation - independent packages that are certified/notarised, but I'd like to see the OS allow for user-specified authorities beyond just Apple. That being said, I'm not sure I'd ever use them as it's part of what I'm paying Apple for, I'm really thinking more of Linux there.

A kind of flatpak/snap approach, but that has signing of the package and centralised management of the permissions for the sandbox at an OS level would be ideal in my view. That way it's still free-as-in-speech as the user can specify which notarisation authority to use (or none at all).

I really don't understand why seperate programs are handling removing their mother program in 2023, that's registry spaghetti messy.
Ah that hadn't clicked for me until your example. So basically it's something 'popular' but doesn't mean it's the right way to do it, it's just abusing a capability.
You're suggesting opening every single FD of every single process (which might not even point to a file, let alone a file on that volume) and querying it just to do this? I mean, sure, I guess that's usually not physically impossible (unless e.g. /proc is unavailable/unmounted)... but it's clearly a hack.

In fact, I think it's not just a (slow!) hack, but a buggy one too. Every time you open a an object that doesn't belong to you, you extend its lifetime. I think that can break stuff. Like imagine you open a socket in some server, then the server closes it. Then that server (or another one) starts up again and tries to bind to the same port. But you're still holding it open, so now it can't do that, and it errors out.

Well the argument completely hinges on the assumption, that this Paxos outfit is not the same kind of shit show practically all the other crypto exchanges/issuers/brokers/funds are. Since the majority of major crypto companies have to be shown to be either incompetent or fraudulent, I for one would not bet on that.

Since there is almost no money to be made with the "stablecoin" business model (at least compared to the profits/illicit gains of other crypto business models), the probability that something shady is going on is unfortunately quite high.
Rehabilitation basically doesn't happen, in the sense that interventions don't seem to reduce recidivism rates. Now there are a group of people who basically made one bad mistake due to negligence or other circumstances who don't go back, but this isn't generally what one would consider "reform" and it kinda ignores that we can't seem to do much for the people who continually return to prison after committing new crimes. That said, there may be some limited cases where we can do some good, such as identifying and treating people with pyschosis.

As far as I can see, both the USB standard and the standardization of charging plugs have been a massive success. Do you remember back when literally every phone had a different charger and plug? I don't see how that was good for the consumer, for innovation, or society at large.

Even while Apple could have innovated, did they? I'd say that their insistence on Lightning has been a massive drain on society and purely rent-seeking behaviour.

Startups and large companies can still innovate, they just can't screw over their customers while doing so. Seems like a pretty good deal for all sides to me.

As someone who has been doing local-first for the last 3 years with Notesnook, let me tell you: it's not all gardens and roses. Local first has its own very unique set of problems:

1. What to do with stale user data? What happens if a user doesn't open the app for a year? How do you handle migrations?

2. What about data corruption? What happens if the user has a network interruption during a sync? How do you handle partial states?

3. What happens when you have merge conflicts during a sync? CRDT structures are not even close to enough for this.

4. What happens when the user has millions of items? How do you handle sync and storage for that? How do you handle backups? How do you handle exports?

One would imagine that having all your data locally would make things fast and easy, but oh boy! Not everyone has a high end machine. Mobiles are really bad with memory. iOS and Android have insane level of restrictions on how much memory an app can consume, and for good reason because most consumer mobile phones have 4-6 gbs of RAM.

All these problems do not exist in a non-local-first situation (but other problems do). Things are actually simpler in a server-first environment because all the heavy lifting is done by you instead of the user.
> no thanks.
Good faith: why? What is your reasoning?
Yes? And that might not happen until you log off or shut down the OS.
Most likely, they weren't looking at the A16 needing to support USB3, since it was a phone chip (iPads now running on Mx chips instead), and Lightning didn't support USB3. The USB-C mandate was only a year ago, and I expect they probably were planning on exactly what goes into the A16 a year further back, so unless they respun a new A16x chip that had the USB3 controller, there's no point where they could have forecast the A16 actually needing to support USB3 until it was too late.
Ok, I see what you're saying here, still, Linux's way is better, I'd rather have my system cluttered with useless files of deleted programs than be exploited because of something that was solved decades ago.

(N=1) I have a general feeling that the next generation is more consumerist due to this lack of permanence in the tools they grew up with. Live in the vibrant present because the past is inaccessible and the future is too difficult to think about.

A world where kids can retreat into the comforts of the past doesn't exist as an option, and they can only turn to the enshittified analogs of the present, with the knowledge that they won't exist in the future. It's a generation forced to be existentially apathetic to anything other than the now.
