It's remarkable how many people replied to this comment with an argument against age verification. I am fully in favor of preserving the (semblance of) anonymity we enjoy on the internet, and even improving upon it.

I'll say again more clearly, ignoring the problem of other people's suffering does not make it go away, and one day it spills over into your own life. There are likely solutions which preserve privacy of adult users available for those willing to think.

To put it another way sand is not a good PCM material for example in green houses they use calcium chloride and sodium sulfate decahydrate to absorb heat during day and then give off that stored heat at night.

Sand is operating in reverse as it absorbing heat near freezing and releasing it as temps get above freezing...

My take is that if the cancer doesn't get you, the angry subjects will. Right now, medical science is what imposes term limits on dictators. But it's likely that humanity will impose their own, like they have in less dictatorial regimes. (Everyone's worried about dictators, but I'm just sitting here thinking about the Supreme Court.)
Here’s a recent (yesterday) example of a benefit though.

I tried unsuccessfully to search for an ECG analysis term (EAR or EA Run) using Google, DDG, etc. There was no magic set of quoting, search terms, etc. that could explain what those terms were. Ear is just too common for a word.

ChatGPT however was able to take the context of the question I had (an ECG analysis) and lead me to the answer right away of what EAR meant.

I wasn’t seeking medical advice though, just a better search engine with context. So there are clearly benefits here too.
Yeah I agree. It's not for me, but obviously there must be some demand for it!
They had this plan in place since earlier. They rolled it first to critical python libraries [1]. They even had agreement with google to provide free hardware security keys for free for those developers [2]

My understanding is that simple applications like Konsole should be fine because they only use widely-implemented protocols. Where it goes off the rails is when you want to do exotic things like take a screenshot, and GNOME, KDE, and wlroots have each implemented a different protocol to do so.
I understand you're set in your interpretation, but this doesn't make it true.

The article describes something different, and people are not divided in "brave" or "cowards".

I also provided other examples of confrontation avoidance that are not motivated by cowardice, e.g. laziness. You can conflate everything with "cowardice", but this makes for a very boring world.

Potentially—I suppose free can lead to more justifiable laziness in finding different resources for different things.

The argument I generally hear from certain microeconomists is that they still expect there to be value in niches, given Google's highly general nature. If you're looking for super specific topics, it often doesn't perform extremely well. You'd find it valuable to go to a resource tailored for your area.

Anecdotal, but I've personally found it to be true—for specific hobbies, or for more "real" reviews, I search reddit. Except I use Google to search reddit, since reddit's search sucks, but still. Amazon or Etsy or whatever can be considered "search engines" for highly specific topics (purchases, and purchases of a specific type of product) and they do have success there too, but Google is still often the front-page to get people to those sites.

Maybe it's just that Google is just a default "front-page" and enough tech-non-savvy people just use it to get to where they want to go (e.g. the classic "type Facebook into Google to get to Facebook") that it sticks. That's maybe the most compelling reason I've heard, but it is also somewhat unsatisfying as well (as well as precarious if the defaults ever change—but maybe that's true!).
nit; portakallar is the plural of portakal, meaning orange (the fruit)
What an epic premise. Blow up the app server processes! I agree so much.

Just creating a promise in JavaScript reminds me so much of creating a process. It's something off out there that will run for a while, and come back with a return code.

In WHATWG Fetch, the notion of the promise as process is enhanced & extended by having signalling attached to the promise, that can be used to signal presently an abort of status. There's been longstanding desire to have fetch also have observability, of upload progress and http2/3 push streams.

I really really like the idea of decomposing the app. Making a lot of smaller processes. If processes are small, and have known state, it also feels like the other key ideas here of having processes be mobile ambients, being able to be run wherever, is also within grasp.

The team here seems to have made their own basically distributed OS for running their proclets. Proclets feel a lot like actor, each with their own heap & threads. They also get access to some read-only bulk data, shared among proclets. Everyone uses message passing. Yup sounds like an actor based system like Erlang or Orleans or whatever so far! One cool trick is they allow proclets to send each other functions; here's my addMoney function or whatever, that the other proclets can call; rpc of a sort, but these can pass smart pointers around too (kind of like capnproto's promise pipelining).

I do wonder how much of this is achievable with regular processes, and what that would look like. Checkpoint-restore is a good way to save regular program state, but Nu has special abstractions for io of course. Mungling with sockets and file handles when restoring from criu is beyond my pay grade ATM. A key insight right here, this work is I think approximately 9 million times easier with stateless protocols like quic & http3, near to a no-op (the autonomic layer/coordinator/operator would need to aim the ipv6 address on the network first). Ideally we'd want other criu tweaks: don't serialize the read only memory when checkpointing but re-map it in from a common pool while restoring. But like, this seems imminently doable directly on the OS, as processes, with a smart workflow-cooridnator

Jumping into the smart home conversation: IKEA's stepping up their game with these Zigbee sensors. Affordable, sleek, and you don't even need their hub – a win for DIY smart home enthusiasts! It's like IKEA meets high-tech without breaking the bank. Comparing with Xiaomi's offerings, IKEA's got some neat features, but hey, there's that size difference. Maybe IKEA's going for durability over discretion? And, amidst the tech showdown, let's not forget about privacy – a big shoutout to those mindful of what's phoning home. In the world of smart sensors, it's all about finding that sweet spot between functionality, price, and trust.
Shouldn’t progress simply be defined as equal treatment under the law? Once we get into the mode of granting special privileges for victims (real or imaginary) I think we have a big problem.

People should aspire to achieve, not strive to complain about all the reasons (again, real or imaginary) why they couldn’t because they think they’ll get some reward for having the most victim points.
> I think the reason for rootful XWayland to exist, and the fact that it's like 100% made by Red Hat, hints that this is why they are doing it.

I had assumed the same, but then they announced that they were discontinuing xorg-server without pointing to rootful xwayland, so I'm not sure how to read the situation.

> But I would like to run native Wayland clients too, and have them behave in such an environment. Can a compositor be made in such a fashion that it would cooperate with XWayland and manage native clients?

You can have a mix with non-rootful xwayland on a wayland compositor; that's the easy path, really. I don't know if there's a way to have a X11 window manager control Wayland windows in that kind of system, though.
I think you're missing the point here.

Prompt injection is not about internal threats where employees deliberately break the system.

It's about holes where external attackers can sneak their malicious instructions into the system, without collaboration from insiders.

Maybe you're confusing prompt injection with jailbreaking?

The opposite is also interesting. Think about all the drugs that work in rats but not humans. If you have pet rats, they're probably invincible! (More likely is that there is no money in treating pet rats, so actually there aren't any drugs just for them.)
We are not talking about any of that other stuff. It's irrelevant. We are talking about the Cybertruck, which Tesla has put into production and taken orders for. It is not an R&D prototype. So this is something very concrete.

Do you or Tesla have any data or studies or announcements that point to some unknown advancement with one of the oldest industrial materials in one of the oldest industries? This isn't some hypothetical discussion. You should have something to point to.

The fact of the matter is that there isn't a known advancement to point to. This is a production vehicle that goes against several well-known, established for decades design principles in car design. It will not absorb energy in a crash like every other modern car with crumple zones. It will deliver energy both to the crash target and to the inhabitants.

If Tesla had made some magic advancement, do you not think they would share it?

You keep implying towards some ethereal advancement and arguing with people based upon known, existing facts. Until there's something different, you're just speculating without basis and on a product made by a company well-known and infamous for lying and overhyping product features and advancements.
To be fair, you're also 'pre-poisoning the well with a slippery slope' to a degree in your first point. The way I read it you're basically saying there "keep in mind we also thought we knew how things worked ones, maybe we're wrong again". But this to me is a giant straw man, if a common one. We did not have a convincing model of how a lot of the world worked in those times. It's not that we thought that there are no germs. We could not see things as small as germs, and we knew at the time that there are limits to how small a thing we can see. Right now we know that there is a limit to how small a thing can be, and arguably we can detect things at sizes comparable to that. There were no convincing and "complete" models of most of the areas of knowledge. The models we have right now leave a lot of room for "unknown", but only in very specific amounts and in very specific places, not every possible unknown.

So the direct comparison is whether the current state of knowledge leaves as much room for telepathy as the state of knowledge a couple of hundred years ago left for germs, and the answer is a resounding no.

Algorithms and data structures however? Still important!

Rust implements some algorithms [1] for the same API with the sole purpose to be interchangeable and readily replace one with another. Does a computer know how to do that? I find that not to be the case at the moment.

Algorithms were important in the past, but a lot of programming effort had to be put on mastering every compiler/OS/architecture and their quirks in every case. Now the focus of programmers, will shift more to knowledge about algorithms and data structures.

The article doesn't go into how they would limit users from creating new accounts, (i.e. sybil resistance) which would be very important if you give out points like this.

The article author does not make any comparisons of their calculation to a reddit/hackernews style calculation, which already does has this kind of effect. See this article [0] or my Javascript implementation [1]

I made a reddit clone [2] that kind of follows this principal: Anyone can make a board which has its own ERC20 token. Upvoting/downvoting costs 1 token. Upvotes tokens are sent to the message author. Downvotes are burned. Moderators have the ability to mint new tokens. I figured these tokens could become valuable if there were lots of discussions in a board since it would induce a demand to moderate the board.

I also made a different site [3] that changes the decentralized moderation system so that instead of democratic upvotes, the message owner gets absolute discretion over the sorting of the replies they receive. I've put much more work into this one so it works much better.

Mullvad browser certainly exists in part to advertise a VPN, but offers more privacy protections than Librewolf.

See this response from the mullvad-browser developer on exactly this:

> There are two main reasons, one which you preemptively answered:

> - the privacy model is about having a same fingerprint per platform for Mullvad Browser users, so you're not uniquely identifiable (which will be the case by following privacy hardening guides)
> - it is much easier to recommend to user a browser pre-configured for an optimal privacy: some users will want to tinker, but if you don't have the time or knowledge, it's hard to do the right thing

> There are also more differences than "just a fork of Firefox", I encourage you to read the following page which goes more into the details: https://mullvad.net/en/browser/hard-facts

source: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvad-browser/issues/1

A librewolf contributor and arkenfox developer chimes in as well stating that it's no competition that mullvad-browser is more secure here:

https://github.com/mullvad/mullvad-browser/issues/1#issuecom...

So as much as I despise companies putting low effort into software rebrands that offer no value, all the facts point towards that very much not being the case here.

Edit: However https://privacytests.org/ shows mullvad-vpn and librewolf as being very similar wrt privacy.
> Why is it actually winner-take-all?

The power of defaults, mostly.

The average user experience of picking up an internet-connected device has been very intentionally cultivated by Google. Whether you're in your browser or on your phone, Google's spent a lot of money building up Chrome as a browser ecosystem, Android on mobile, and paying off Apple on iPhones and competing browser vendors like Firefox, to guarantee that, whenever possible, Google is always the default search engine. The only non-Google default will typically be on Edge, which only has about 5-6% penetration. Since Google historically has always been the best search engine in the space, does not explicitly charge its users money, and (at least for average users) is really good at surfacing what they're looking for, most users feel no need to look elsewhere for a search engine because the default just works, switching would demand an effort, and Google is what they'd want anyways. The moat isn't big, but Google has put a ton of work into ensuing that any competing search engine requires an intentional and active choice of users to seek you out while they're worse.

At least until the recent AI play by Bing, this tiny moat was always sufficient, because if you start from scratch on search, you're essentially guaranteed to be worse, and all other 'serious' offerings under the hood were weak alternatives: essentially one of "Bing search API wrappers" (worse results), "nation-state-actor search engines" (for most users, worse results), or "Google, but with some cursory privacy measures, a subscription fee, or filtration features" (which wasn't something most users care about).

Recent chat AI represents a competing alternative to doing a search in the first place, which jeopardizes the "we have essentially all defaults and users can't be assed to switch to a worse search" barrier to entry that Google historically relies on, which is ringing alarm bells for them.

Those pre-orders are based on fictional pricing and fictional delivery date. I don't doubt that they'll sell all 180k cybertrucks they expect to make in the next 18 months (novelty factor goes a long way with people who have gobs of discretionary income), but I'd be willing to bet a lot of the "2 million" preorders are people who, like me, simply haven't canceled theirs yet but will when it's time to shell out whatever crazy price is announced for a truck that doesn't meet the promised specs.
The idea of writing technical documentation for your home seems like excellent advise. I think many people do this in an informal manner. I'm not sure a full blown mkdoc setup is necessary -- of having your "home repair/maintenance" notes in their own subfolder of an Obsidian vault or git repository might be sufficient. In my own experience, having quick access to this info has made troubleshooting easier a number of times recently during some repairs and renovations.
I have a Munger quote on my corkboard behind my monitor, which I read every so often and try to embody:

I implemented a slippage warning system in a trading GUI I was in charge of after exactly this scenario happened once: a trader switching price and quantity and temporarily cratering a market. It would show a second order confirmation screen if your order was going to fill with high slippage, and it made you type the words "SHOOT ME" into a text field to send the order. After we had built it, it seemed so obvious to have that kind of sanity checking.

It makes even more sense for the matching engine to disallow this on the back end, though.

I don't think the network thing actually matters; modern Xorg doesn't expose anything to the network by default, and IIRC will actually fight you about trying to do so to the extent that when I wanted to use it that way I ended up using socat to bridge TCP to the local socket.

The general comment about trust and security is true, though; ex. the usual complaints about any X11 application being able to keylog any other (which XACE exists to counter, but since nobody seems to have done so I'm assuming it had problems!?)).
