I feel like there has been kind of a weird concerted effort to push that zfs is bad due to this bug and how trust has been lost etcetera etcetera - super annoying when most other filesystems just corrupt your data and nobody will ever know it happened. I’ve experienced bad data corruption on xfs, btrfs, ext2, and ext4. So far zfs is been nothing but perfect.
Enabling E2EE has historically required usability tradeoffs (no multi-device, no backups, chat transcripts are stored on device only, etc). It took them this long to make it seamless.
There's a _really_ cool way to take Wall Street out of the housing market.

Build. Enough. Housing.

Enough housing means supply meets or exceeds demand which means prices fall which means Wall Street doesn't get the returns they want which means they move on to prey on something else.
I can’t count the times I have advised friends and family against using certain products and services, only to be ignored or be accused of being paranoid. In some cases the response is “well, you can already find anything about anyone on the internet” or “they already have everything”, etc. It’s incredibly frustrating to watch some of these highly consequential breaches happen. I have yet to have someone come back to me to say “You know, you were right.

I am sure many/most HN readers have come across this to varying degrees.

Not sure there’s a fix. The only people who eventually get it are those who are unlucky enough to eventually suffer the consequences of their lack of interest in privacy and data safety.
I think technology has had significantly more effect on catastrophes than the author gives it credit for. You could argue that weapons tech significantly increased casualties in world wars. Global travel allows pandemics to spread globally. I'm sure there are other examples.

However, it also has ameliotating effects that are barely touched on here. Vaccines are the most obvious example. And as the author mentioned, the near elimination of famines is largely the result of technology.

While I can absolutely see the potential for AI to precipitate a catastrophe, to me it has more in common with technologies that have prevented or ameliorated them.

I love all his videos. But this one is amazingly mind-expanding. Thanks to his previous videos and a fluids engineering background, I had the right intuition for what would occur...but holy shit his experimental method was so far beyond what I expected. I kept wondering how he was going to show us the level of detail he was teasing in the title and introduction, and seeing the resulting visualization was just so incredible and inspirational.

Really he may be the best technical YouTuber for true nerds who don't want things dumbed-down but still want it to be reasonably accessible.

I think Bungie eventually confirmed that the two aren't in the same universe, but in the early days it seems like that was pretty up in the air. Prior to the announcement of Halo, a prominent Marathon fan site started receiving emails from cortana@bungie.org - https://marathon.bungie.org/story/cortana.html . The sender appeared to be a rampant AI who was dropping all kinds of cryptic tidbits that linked her to Marathon. For example Cortana and the AI antagonist of Marathon are named after swords wielded by Charlemagne's paladins in the 12th century, and they appear to be aware of this and of each other... at one point in Marathon 2 Durandal asserts that he's got a history with Charlemagne and calls him a fruitcake..!

Cortana later repeats some of the lines from those emails in Halo 3, and Marathon references are all over the place in the first few games.

Bungie was in a league of their own back in the day with all the cryptic references and teasers and connections. At one point they released a timeline for the Marathon universe, and the point in time when Halo takes place is labeled with "Nothing important happened here."
Your best bet is probably to go through a doctor and get testing from a medical genome sequencing service that is covered under HIPAA. I am not 100% sure if this is bulletproof, but it is probably better than going through a DTC company. Plus, most DTC companies like 23 and me use imprecise genome sequencing and not full genome sequencing like many medical providers do.

TOFU (Trust on First Use, e.g. what SSH is doing) is already the defacto standard. The only difference is that the warning is less annoying in Signal/iMessage (soon)/etc. Matrix and Signal also offer out-of-band verification, but since compromising TOFU requires actively compromising a user before the key exchange (and it's tamper-evident) it's not really a very big concern for a vast majority of communication.

Putting aside whether or not discouraging investment makes sense as a strategy, it is absolutely wild that this is specific to single family homes. Apartments are unaffordable as well and they are also often owned by funds.

Are people who live in apartments just out of luck then? Discouraging investors from owning single family homes could encourage more speculation on multifamily homes.

This page lists current limitations https://electric-sql.com/docs/reference/roadmap

The key features for us on this are:

1. permissions https://electric-sql.com/docs/usage/data-modelling/permissio... which are defined using DDLX rules, authorise data access and can be used to filter data
2. shapes https://electric-sql.com/docs/usage/data-access/shapes which are the main, more expressive way to control what data syncs on and off the local device, including where clauses, joins, include trees, etc.

These are both in development and due soon. From your comment, I think you’ve seen the shapes branch with where clauses and include trees already working, for example.

In the meantime, the shapes API over syncs the full table. This is temporary and obviously suboptimal but it means you can develop today using the shape APIs and still filter data you display using local queries. Then when the proper functionality lands, the sync will become more fine grained and optimal without your app code needing to change.

Hope that makes sense. We’re very much not a full table sync system. Our role is to provide the best possible model for controlling dynamic partial replication (and to maintain integrity across replication boundaries).

There will be several Nobel Prizes in creating the technology to get this bioweapon.

You need something which reproduces itself even in non-targets, which enters the cell's nucleus, which detects the correct DNA - which may be scattered across the genome! -, which has a mechanism that kills the target people, and where none of this will mutate so as to stop effectiveness, change/broaden the target population, etc.

Furthermore, just because people identify as a group does not mean they have a distinct genetic pattern. How would you target "Christians" or "Americans" or "Hispanics"?

This appears to be a harder task than curing cancer, in that many of the same techniques could be used to target cancerous cells but that does not require the ability to spread from person to person.

A bioweapon doesn't appear in a vacuum. The required technological advances will be widely known. In this fantastical cancer-free world, why wouldn't your local health care center have the ability to sequence unexpected genomes and prepare a vaccine or phage in the same day?
> The UK is not a wealthy country. The UK has a lower GDP per capita than any state in the US except for Mississippi, the poorest US state, and has lower purchasing power than all 50 of them.

That's an odd piece of evidence to cite; Germany also has lower GDP per capita than any state except Mississippi. By PPP, it's ahead of 17 states and behind the other 33.

But Germany is well known to be a wealthy country. England is also a wealthy country. Europe is poor compared to the United States, but that won't make it poor in a global sense.

It does tend to leave the question open of why there's such a large American constituency for "why aren't we more like Europe?".
Because the other cryptocurrencies are actually shitcoins and scams.

I know that this statement is bold and makes people angry especially in the first world, but using the financial system as reference there are many reports out there of funds explaining why Bitcoin is the only “crypto” that will outlive, and that Proof Of Stake is basically and oligarchy scam system.

> "Ukraine's making surprisingly rapid progress on its EU accession checklist."

I think people have forgetten just how corrupt Ukraine is. It has regularly been ranked the most corrupt nation in Europe (yes, worse than Russia and Hungary!).

Perhaps the war has suppressed it somewhat due to increased patriotism, increased scrutiny, etc, but corruption is so ingrained the culture that it's very difficult to imagine it disappearing just because they want to join the EU.
Secure boot also doesn't rely on Microsoft...

It's always amusing how much people don't understand either of secure or trusted boot and start rambling about it.
Yeah, the article says, "It was indeed one of the most important experiments in physics of all time". Presumably the "lesser known" applies to the lay public, who know schrödinger's Cat (a thought experiment, not a lab one) and maybe the two-slit experiment. The concept of quantum spin and its demonstration is less well known to non-experts. I'm certainly no expert, but the concepts of spin, probability amplitudes, and bosonic vs fermionic behavior fascinate me.
As much as we would like them to magically disappear and get uninvented, like NFTs, there doesn't seem to be any mechanism by which that realistically happens. So then, like harm reduction, isn't more competition better than less? It means less money goes to the existing giants, which may not totally starve them, but will put them on a diet.
Is this the same "untrusted device" feature that syncthing already had for years?
I come from the GPFS, Lustre, and Panasas world of HPCC.

Personally, I used (past tense) ZoL in 2014-2017 on Ubuntu. The issue is that the array eventually entered an unrecoverable state where it could no longer be mounted RW. That wasn't the end of the world, but the support from ZoL was to shrug at it. That was the end of that because without support and without pride, something that appears shiny is effectively useless.

Been running many XFS volumes over mdadm RAID10 near-2 arrays. Zero major problems in 5+ years with over 400 TiB online. SGI's, Redhat's, and more contributions to various Linux storage components are excellent.

My conclusion is that ZoL != Solaris ZFS. Once it left enterprise with controlled hardware and dedicated engineering & support teams, it regressed and devolved. Beware of fanboys where passion and tribalism exceeds evidence and reliability.
Maybe read the papers then?

It is because of FCC certification requirements.
Usually, if the end user can modify the lowlevel radio firmware on the device, the device looses it's FCC certification and cannot be sold in USA.

It also seems that Espressif has bought their wifi IP, so their contracts and licensing terms with the IP vendor likely prevent any sharing.

But FCC is the reason for closed binary blob firmware for all wifi radios out there these days.
Would love to setup a station but not sure how I would protect the Pi from the elements if installed outside. Did you somehow weatherize your Pi or do you use a remote microphone over a long wire or some kind of wireless mic solution?
The answer Bard gave is not even very coherent. Very similar results with GPT-4V as well. This makes me very cusrious how exactly do these models "see". Are they intelligently following the route starting from one point all along, or are they just tracing it top-to-bottom-left-to-right? Seemingly, latter is the case.

I expected that the AI would be able to understand that say taking a right turn from a straight road to another sub-road definitely involves crossing (since I specified that one is running on the left of the road). And try answering along those lines.
>there is also always the specter of future uses against your interests.

This. The danger isn't even necessarily that we gain some crazy ability to predict things about a person from their DNA, but that people believe that it can be done accurately and that police, courts, government, marketers, etc believe it as well.

Police don't need much convincing if it gets them a conviction. Courts will already admit evidence from forensic labs which have been proven to fabricate evidence. Governments will let just about anything fly if someone donates enough, and if marketers are convinced that it might work, there will be no shortage of cash for campaign funds.

Currently, to my knowledge, you can take somebody's DNA and do just about anything with it without their knowledge or consent, and there seem to be a lot of well-monied interests with a stake in keeping things that way.

Launching those games launches the launcher. Which then either chain-launch the game, wait for launch button to be clicked, or require a Steam linked login, or combinations thereof. Often the game is the only game the launcher can launch.

There must be business reasons it makes sense but experience wise it's a pointless friction.
The reason, and the difference, is that all these other filesystems have check and repair (and sometimes multiple) tools.

Please correct me, but ZFS has none.
It's possible, I've done it, it just involved a lot more steps. Simpler when I can `fdisk && mkfs && debootstrap` to make a key. Plus then I need to keep two bootable usb keys, I think... it's just... "Who ordered this??"
I don't think it's necessary for everyone to fully review the complete source code themselves. But having it available for applications at a serious enough scale, would allow the community at large to proof the vendor's claims about secure encryption. And at Facebook scale I would be satisfied that I'd hear about it if the encryption turned out to be a lie.
