This comes across as a very one sided article with "man = bad" framing. Are girls not going to use these services too for AI boyfriends?

What this will do is eliminate OnlyFans and porn as a way to make a living, which in my opinion, is only a good thing. There was a meme doing the rounds the other day of two tweets, the first saying "Why are young people so depressed nowadays?" with the second saying "Because you can earn more on OnlyFans than being a doctor." The sad part is that for a sizeable portion of attractive women (and a less sizeable portion of men) this is true. The incentives of society need readjusting so that people are doing and following careers that are both constructive to society rather than getting given money just because they're hot and willing to photograph themselves naked. It's not just better for society, it's better for the individual who is empowered by gaining practical, real world skills and knowledge rather than being dependent on their looks, which will only wane with time.

Hopefully it will also redistribute some of the power balance when it comes to dating. I believe that when Tinder released some data years ago that it revealed that 80% of the women are chasing 20% of the men. Whilst it's a good thing to have standards, it's gotten out of hand. You can't have 80% of women refusing to settle for anyone under 6 ft 2 who's not in the top 5% of earners, it damages both the men who can't meet these standards and the women who want families that end up single and desperate in their 30s because they've held out too long trying to find someone. Both groups end up getting treated like trash and end up feeling bitter and angry.

We've moved away from the model that women are the housewives and men are the breadwinners and that's brilliant. But both sexes need to step up to the plate and adjust. Men need to do more housework and child rearing. And women need to get used to not expecting men to pay for everything and putting more money in the pot. You can't have your cake and eat it too, the balance is what makes things work successfully. It might be taboo to say, but anecdotally I feel a lot of men are willing to do more housework and child rearing but less women are happy to split the check on a date. Hopefully this will re-address the balance by making the lonely men less likely to put up with women who want them for their bank balance rather than their personality. Vice versa, it will hopefully make more men step up to the plate and learn to become better communicators and emotional partners.
I see! I understand you're not a email service provider, but "self-hosted" gave me the impression you actually handle sending the emails (via SMTP or whatever) as well as the management around the lists, not just outsourcing the email sending part to a hosted 3rd party. Seems I was mistaken :)
It would be interesting to see how much, if any, this plays into dating psychology.
If we collectively boycotted the sites that allow such garbage then they would serve less obtrusive ads.

To consume the content without even considering ads makes it unethical.
Not finding anyone physical attractive for months at a time is something that can happen to both sexes. Around the age of forty I, a man, began to feel like I was completely surrounded by unattractive women wherever I go. Not because the women changed or there is anything at all wrong with them, but because with experience, I have a good idea now of how relationships work, and my interest has waned.

I myself have what one might term “unrealistic standards”. At some point, what I was looking for was someone to share experiences with: someone to travel with, watch great cinema or view art with, etc. Yet every woman I have personally been with sought a relationship because they wanted a man to make them feel comfortable, secure, and desired, and that left me bored and feeling used. I don’t complain about this any more or feel entitled to a relationship, I just get on with living alone. But I still understand younger men’s feelings of frustration, and hope that those feelings can get channeled in some non-destructive direction.

It would be interesting to guesstimate what the NSA might be doing by analyzing the skills they're looking for in their job postings and the kind of open source projects they have released.

For example their Accumulo OSS suggests they're capturing and storing a lot of data to analyze later. The Ghidra OSS being a best in class reverse engineering tool also suggests that alot of their work revolves around finding zero day vulnerabilities.

There is tons of precedent for something like this. It's called Common Carrier law. This applies to phone networks, railroads, airlines, pipelines, electric, water, sewer, and trash utilities, internet service providers, etc.

The basic idea is that if a carrier is at least a quasi-monopoly, they have to provide service to anyone unless they have a "good reason." Of course what these reasons might be will vary depending on the business, but would generally not include being accused of a crime. The electric company is not allowed to cut off your power if you are accused (or even convicted) of sexual assault, as long as you pay your bill on time and don't vandalize their equipment etc.

> You don't have to transitively examine callers because you have colored functions.

You do, because the problem is not the "await" calls but everything else. The language tells you which are the callers that need to be changed when you a scheduling point, but it doesn't tell you whether that change preserves their correctness or not. You have to analyse every caller individually to know whether there was a reliance on mutual exclusion or not.

> It's a little dismissive to pretend that other language designers, eg. those of Python, Kotlin, haven't done their years of research, and made inferior choices due to lack of expertise,

But I said the opposite: that they chose the best option that was available to them. Kotlin couldn't implement user-mode threads, or at least not efficiently, because they have no control over the platforms they run on. JS also had little choice because adding threads would have broken a lot of existing code. In their place I would have made the same choice. But the point is that in imperative languages the choice of cooperative scheduling is not done because the programming model it offers is attractive but because of other constraints. All else being equal, cooperative scheduling offers worse composition in imperative languages; it's just that in many cases all else is not equal and there are other constraints.

But yes, the important thing is that even though cooperative scheduling would have been so much easier to provide in Java, we decided to take our time and do what offers the best experience to Java developers.
> Your differentiation makes no difference - a machine that is mostly useful for evil will end up mostly used for evil.

It does make a difference: a machine that is mostly useful for evil should probably not be built, whereas a machine that is mostly useful for good things but is mostly used for evil... well... that's a people problem.

> Your example of a torture machine would depend on if you consider any scenarios where torture would be justified/good/useful.

Let's consider a democracy where civilians decide to build a torture machine - the conditions behind the deepfake technology ;-).

> Restricting software and its use becomes much more difficult when we talk about stuff like deep fakes while trying to balance liberty.

Note that I never mentioned restricting it. I mentioned not building it. I find that engineers tend to hide behind "technology is neutral" and "it is not illegal". But morals and ethics do exist for engineers too.

It was totally legal to build the technology to make deepfakes. It doesn't mean that it was ethical.
It's true that C++ specifies this as part of its forward progress guarantees and that's likely how it infected LLVM, but I'd deny that LLVM's rather sparse documentation of their IR lowering says basically "Ooops, we actually are only suitable as the core of a C++ compiler" was part of their intent, especially since LLVM substantially pre-dates Clang...

Lattner started work on Clang in 2006, but LLVM is from 2000..

And sure enough when the Rust project finds bugs in LLVM related to this, there is no "Oh you can't have the semantics we documented, we actually provide exactly whatever C++ says instead for some reason". Sometimes it's a doc bug but most often the problem is that as usual the optimisation passes assumed something that's just not true outside of C++.
> The socket is recessed into the wall, and only the frontmost part of the plug is conducting. That means that while you are plugging it in, there is never any metal exposed. Contact can only be made when the plug is already quite far in the socket.

Same thing for E/F... the actual metal connectors for power are recessed in socket so when socket is in you can't touch anything before it even connects power, because plug itself covers the socket

Is that how you read my comment?

I think I'm safe in saying that it's a documented fact that however many homeless there are in your city, there are more elsewhere. I feel confident in the assumption that if homeless people learn that somewhere they currently aren't the ex-homeless now don't have to live in gutters, and all they have to do is somehow go there... they'll go there. This isn't a scare tactic, it's a reality.

And it means that there is no budget large enough to solve homelessness in any arbitrary city, unless they budget to solve it for the entirety of the North American mainland.
Or maybe it speaks to the financial ethics they believe people at Stanford should learn.

The GPU and IO speeds are far and away the most important factors for what people have used consoles for, for 20 years. ARM64 is perfectly capable as a CPU (just ask my MacBook Pro). Pair it with a very capable GPU and you'd likely have a winner.

Nearly every ARM system (including the Macs) today have cellphone-tier GPUs paired with them. I'd love to see what a system paired with something akin to GeForce 4080 (reasonable for a 2027 system) could do, power-efficiency and 4k-target wise.

They don't have to sell the data, but they will because they'll do literally anything if it will make them more money. Not selling it is leaving money on the table and the shareholders won't stand for it.
As a "no-code sales person," I actually agree. It's why we started on https://plasmic.app, to bridge the gap between low-code and code—we think there can exist low-code tools that integrate deeply with existing code and codebases, to allow scaling in complexity.

A very nice effect of this is cross-functional collaboration—once it's possible for the team's developers to provide the right components as building blocks, then the non-developers in operations, design, marketing and product functions can compose these into full pages.

"...when there are a large number of very powerful Military transmitters already operating in the VLF band."

To my knowledge, no military TXes are being used for that purpose. I did outline how the system might work, that is similar to the structure of cellular phones. Moreover, there's no indication there's enough military TXes around to allow for accurate triangulation, nor is there any indication or guarantee that the military will have them running 24/7, which is a prerequisite.

SID is all very well and to be welcomed but someone or entity has to run the service after the science (via, say, SID) has been established. Any entity running such a scheme has to work across national boundaries—has to be international. Chances of that happening anytime soon other than through AR are just fanciful. AR has a long history in civil defense and emergencies and has international representation through the IARU https://www.iaru.org/ which has been around just on a century and has representation at the ITU in Geneva. It's in a pivotal position to argue the case internationally.

If you've a better, more practical solution then let's hear about it.
Help me out here:

if my network hardware is compromised, but all of my communication is encrypted, that leaves… traffic analysis? hoovering up the data and storing it to decrypt in the future when it becomes feasible? using the router as a foothold to attack the rest of my network?

The first two are already happening for data that leaves my LAN. Unencrypted data on my LAN is vulnerable, and there is plenty of unencrypted traffic on my LAN in practice. Is that the risk?

The solution for right-angle plugs blocking adjacent sockets are angled sockets.

For a correctly designed appliance the polarization should not matter and as today most appliances have CEE E/F plugs which are compatible with inherently not polarized Schuko there is not much space for designing it wrong.

Across the EU there is a bunch of various normative and ad-hoc standards about which pin should be the live one in Type E socket. And well, one would expect that there are only three ways how that can be standardized including don't care, but no, there also exist standards that say “always on left, even if the socket is upside down” (the reasoning is something along the lines that if a child sticks a 100mm nail into the socket it is going to be into the right hole)

>Also, my belief is that JVM itself adds lots of overhead.

The JVM has ~nothing to do with the scheduling of platform threads

>and there any benchmarks saying it is couple hundred threads, and not 100k threads?..

It depends greatly on your hardware

It depends on the hardware, of course

Overall, yes, you could probably run a lot of concurrent processes on a c7i.48xlarge in 2023. But why would you want to do that when, if you used virtual threads (or async), you could do the same work on an c7i.large? That's the whole point of this. There's no reason to waste CPU and memory on kernel context switching overhead.
Just short of a hundred million dollars against it, in that case. :-)

Fact is, when you monetize videos on YouTube you enter a contract with them. If you fail to adhere to the contract (by violating the TOS/TOU, for example) then YouTube has every right to terminate your contract... You're always free to choose another platform that is more aligned with your content/values/actions/whatever...

First, there would need to be "better services" significantly better for that to be worth the trouble.

Accounts don't think revenue and income are synomymous: income is revenue minus expenses. Now if you were to say that profit and income are synonymous, that I might be okay with.
For most specific purposes, a specialized bump allocator can be significantly more optimized.

Hard-coding the alignment simplifies many questions (especially if you can guarantee the allocation size being a multiple of the alignment, at which point it becomes a complete non-issue).

And if you have an upper bound on the requested allocation size, the integer overflow checks can be dropped too (e.g. in a Java "new int[n]", "n" is an int, which has a max value of 2^31-1, which can safely be added to a bump pointer, provided it's further than that away from the address space end (which it's gonna be due to the kernel reserving the upper half of the address space)).

And for constant-size objects, your entire bump allocator can become just

if (ptr > precomputedEndMinusObjectSize) fallback();
result = ptr;
ptr += size;
I think we're forcing them to manage the data in their stewardship inefficiently.

I'd actually love a law that says if my data gets stolen from a company and a hacker uses that stolen data to harm me, the company must pay for (some portion of) those harms.

But today it's setup so even if I don't get harmed they pay some lawyers to make the case go away.
