> generation of energy and pollution in general. The entire economy is oil-based

The current system is unscalable, sure, but are these fundamental limits that preclude growth?

The total amount of recovereable uranium in the oceans is in the billions of tons. Orders of magnitude more U and Th in the crust. Fusion energy seems possible and the total solar irradiance is astronomical. Self replicating solar system probes, that would turn us into a Kardashev type 2 civilisation, are also conceptually possible, and could use only resources from other planets.

So we are many, many doublings away from hitting the physical limits on growth, and we can barely comprehend how our society would look like in such a scenario.
> On linux, most base software comes from the distro repositories. The question there is how hard it would be to compromise these systems (including one of the mirrors). This includes ancillary packaging systems (pip, cpan, gems, conda, etc)

IMO if you're worried about the NSA, I assume they have access to root certificates and your package manager that uses TLS would be vulnerable. Wouldn't have to compromise any system or mirror to do so.
> Would the UN kick Israel out if they continue the war despite a UNSC vote?

Unlikely. Is there even a process for the UN to kick members out? What good would it do anyway? At most, they get demoted to a non-voting member, but probably the US and UK won't both vote against them in the security council, so do they really need a general assembly vote?

> Would countries go to war with Israel specifically to uphold the UNSC vote?

No, but they might enact a no-fly zone, or do a peace keeping mission with lots of possible rules of engagement.

But the UN is really a means for the powerful countries to justify their extraterritorial actions, when there's enough concensus and the other powers don't care enough to turn away the rubber stamp. It does some other important stuff, but if the UN had significant power in the Israel/Palestine conflict, there's a series of adopted resolutions that could have been de facto enforced.

I must be missing something. If this novel key only exists inside my backups, it is not registered with any external services, and it cannot be used in the event the primary key is lost.

For me to register the backup-only key with other services, it would have to live on my machine, and be simultaneously registered in addition to the primary key. I am not sure what I am gaining vs having a backup of the primary key other than increased operational burden.

How to Do Idea Discovery
They'll probably stop being kingdoms when the fundamentalists that currently pay zero taxes overthrow the likes of MBS and his family once the kingdom can no longer survive off oil. That's why SA is hosting sporting events, raining money onto football stars and building multibillion real estate projects like Neom: they're trying to copy Dubai, bring in tourists and whitewhash their image.
I don't see why this is good. You're clogging your context with a bunch of unnecessary clutter. Just tell it what you want it to do, no? Like why am I spending 1500 characters per message on the hello world loop example? I get the same output from just asking it to do that.

The message indexing is kind of interesting, but again, it's a huge waste. Just write a wrapper rather than wasting all those tokens and muddying your context.

I think in the end this is just eye candy and is going to get you worse results. Granted, I haven't tested thoroughly, but neither has OP.

In order for AV to work, it has to have the highest level of permissions on the system, high enough to analyze all actions and potentially deny or alert on them.

I don't trust that an AV vendor can _add_ security to a system with a _new_ and obscure binary looking over the kernels shoulder. I don't think the properties of the universe allow for this to ever be true.

The math behind Attention: Keys, Queries and Values matrices
The Linux desktop technology stack lags behind Windows and macOS when it comes to security. The causes are both technical (see this comment [1] for an overview) and non-technical, often stemming from a fragmented development model where there are no clearly defined security boundaries. For example:

- There is no real concept of base system because distros are usually a patchwork of software from diverse sources. This means stuff like proper secure boot is not really feasible on any distro (although AFAIK the systemd/Fedora people are working on it with signed UKIs and immutable OS images).

- Some features that could live in userland for improved security are instead implemented in the kernel, while both Windows and macOS generally keep moving exploitable features like font rendering to userland.

- Distros often disable or disregard security features such as SELinux or mitigations like CFI.

Here [2] is a more detailed article examining the lack of security of Linux desktops in case you're interested.

Largest brain scan study to date identifies drivers of brain aging
> It goes without saying that if any of the turbine fragments had entered the passenger cabin, there would have been injuries, if not fatalities

Understatement of the century. Somehow those spinning discs completely missed those passengers!! They were in such a state that when they disintegrated they went up and through the wing, towards the ground and one nearly missed the plane itself, striking its ventral section instead of passenger cabins. That near miss took out a huge number of aircraft systems so how catastrophic would the damage have been if they had gone through the plane??

I read the entire article and my conclusion is their luck was immeasurable from the very beginning. They were blessed with such tremendous luck even before the flight crew got the chance to demonstrate their badassery and heroism. One of those discs destroyed part of a building.

Nils, regarding visibility, have you considered setting up a Mastodon account? Yesterday I shared on Mastodon a link to your book and my post got 28 reshares, 42 likes, and half a dozen comments. And I'm not even the author of the book. In the Fediverse people do notice you, read what you write, and click your links. Which is mind blowing for those used to traditional social platforms.

> you can actually go into the sqlite db and change stuff

_Nothing_ history-relevant can be changed via manipulation of the Fossil db. In terms of db records, as opposed to space, the db is about 80-90% a transient cache of data which is generated from the remaining (100% immutable) data. Any changes you make to that transient data will be lost the next time that cache is discarded and rebuilt. A longer explanation can be found at:

Doom is a great example of the absolutely disgusting rate hardware advanced at in the 90s. Feels like we got much farther in the ten years between Doom 1 (1993) and Doom 3 (2003), than in the twenty between Doom 3 and 2023.
Overall I agree.. I like not having native code.. I run the JVM so I don't have to worry about platform specific stuff. But this would be more-so an issue in the Java 8 world where your uberjar needs to have lib blobs for every platform it may be run on

In the Java 11+ world you are no longer in the build-once-run-everywhere model and you unfortunately are semi-required to build platform specific bundles. And adding a C++ build step here wouldn't be a disaster - in theory. You could actually do it cleanly/safely with CMake + Hunter + platform-specific toolchain files. Unfortunately the C++ world hasn't converged to CMake/Hunter so if you're using a uncommon/weird lib then it might take work to make it work.

But someone could then in theory clone your project in 20 years running BSDinux on a RISC-VI chip and it should build and run

If you compared the efficiency of steam engines during industrial revolution with the ones used today, or power generation from 100 years ago to that of now, or between just about any chemical process, manufacturing method or agricultural technique at its invention and now, you'd be amazed by the difference. In some cases, the activity of today was several orders of magnitude more wasteful just 100 years ago.

Or, I guess look at how size, energy use and speed of computer hardware evolved over the past 70 years. Point is, implementation being, right now, "resource/energy expensive and murky at best" is how many very powerful inventions look at the beginning.

> If someone is thirsty, the water is the most important part, not the type of glass:)

Sure, except here, we're talking about one group selling a glass imbued with breakthrough nanotech, allowing it to keep the water at desired temperature indefinitely, and continuously refill itself by sucking moisture out of the air. Sometimes, the type glass may really matter, and then it's not surprising many groups strive to be able to produce it.
It's probably more accurate to think of giftedness on a spectrum (not that spectrum), rather than a binary "have it or don't have it".

For example, I've noticed in myself and others that in an area where I have a particular knack or an outsized "giftedness", it also comes with a corresponding lack or void somewhere else. This is not to mean that anyone is "less than", but rather, no one is good at everything all the time. We need each other, and where I may have weaknesses, you have may have strengths. I can either appreciate the difference that you're better at something than me, be humble, and ask for your help. Or I can hate you and degrade you and belittle you for being better than me, and spend my days trying to be equal or better than you at something you likely didn't "try" to be good at in the first place. You just are. So what?

In your definition, "giftedness" comes with the added responsibility of not being demeaning to those around you. Sometimes "intellectual giftedness" comes at the cost of "social giftedness". That's not bad. It's just different gifts.
Unfortunately these tests are still $100+ per test. Assuming there are tens of contaminants you might want to test for, and hundreds of foodstuffs in a typical pantry, the cost is out of range of a typical American.

I would like to see a government grant for cheap testing methods. Either covid-like test strips which are sensitive enough and can measure 10+ contaminants for mere cents, or a government test centre which will test for free anything you mail to them using an XRF gun (expensive kit, but can test one thing every 5 seconds or so, making the amortized cost very low)

Though i'm not clear how the quality of the writing is relevant to whether or not this is sincere.
I didn't say we should ignore splits. To reiterate: most third-party data providers include splits by restating historical prices. This only works if you want to analyse performance at individual stock level by ignoring holdings. But if you want to do performance analysis for your own portfolio of stocks, relying on restated prices is incorrect.

Eg.
If you bought say 10 stocks at the old price, you cannot take the restated historical price with your 10 stocks and you cannot take the units held of 10 stocks with the new prices. You have to account for this via transactions to increase your holdings (for splits) by leaving the prices historically the same.
I think they meant non-catastrophic (no pun intended). From what I can tell, individual files can get corrupted when opened with O_DIRECT, but the filesystem structure will never fail.

From the link in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38591444 :

> file position is not updated after direct IO write and thus [we] direct IO writes are ending in wrong locations effectively corrupting data.

This may be a major problem for hypervisors using ext4-backed disk images. It wouldn't surprise me if qemu opens image files with O_DIRECT by default, but it would surprise me if professional shops were using ext4 as the backing store rather than a provisioning abstraction layer like dm_thin. Still, anyone using kvm on top of ext4 must not be having a good day.
AV doesn't detect the exploit mechanism -- that's not how it works. It's only pattern matching existing binaries.

The difficulty level is "recompile with small changes and test that it doesn't match" not "develop a new attack vector"

It really is stupid and pointless against an attacker with even a bare minimum of competence (able to run a software build vs downloading binaries)
> your package manager that uses TLS would be vulnerable
most distro package managers (dpkg, rpm, etc.) tend to use gpg which shouldn't suffer from those issues (but they could obviously still have some sort of other backdoor for gpg).

Still, I feel like distro packages are really secured compared to stuff you install via pip/npm/... as I don't believe they do anything beyond protecting downloads with TLS.

From a tech-nerd point of view, here is the reason why I am so excited about RISC-V. RISC-V means there is a possibility of creating a completely open source implementation of an industry-grade microprocessor, just like the Linux kernel did for operating systems, democratising the business of building advanced microprocessors. I can't work for Intel or Arm design teams. Hardware is not my main job and entry barrier to those companies is so high (without mentioning age and geographic barriers). However, I would have loved if there was a real, industrial, free and open implementation of a microprocessor where you collaborate with smart people all over the world to solve interesting problems and implement advanced hardware designs and algorithms.

They have low-overhead temporal-, spatial-, and thread- safety guarantees. Spatial in that every “C pointer”=MemorySegment is associated with bounds, which is checked at runtime. Temporal, in that such a MemorySegment has a scope (usually created in a try-with resource block, being closed right afterwards, or alternatively at a random later point, up to the GC), outside of which it can’t be called (also, freeing actions can be associated with these). Thread safety, in that a scope also determines the availability of a given segment to other threads (must be explicitly specified to be accessible mutably from multiple threads).
