It is about being prepared for disaster.

If I use ten services registered with my private key, and the single authenticated hardware device goes poof (dies/lost/stolen) -is there an out of band mechanism for me to regain access on a new device? Maybe for some, but possibly not all.

An offsite backup means that if everything goes down Monday, I can be back in business on Tuesday without fear.

You could replicate some of this assurance with redundant hardware devices, but that requires perfect diligence in ensuring you have multiple devices approved to each service. AWS only just recently allowed multiple hardware tokens.

Yes, we do.

For all practical purposes, earth's gravity well serves as a boundary for material resources at scale.

More importantly, the input of polluting material into earth's obviously very limited ecological system is limited. You simply cannot pollute as much as you want, so getting more stuff from the asteroid belt or whatever doesn't help.
My university chemistry prof told us in 2013 that the portion of oil used for non-energy applications was only about 10% so if we stopped using oil for energy it would essentially become an ‘unlimited’ resource again.

> but Linux's cache is coherent

Linux achieves that coherency by making O_DIRECT invalidate the page in the page cache. I think it paints a more accurate picture to say the caching is disabled with O_DIRECT, not that it is coherent (although it certainly is).

The comprehensive technology sensitivity analysis already takes into account a possible rate of technology development beyond what has been achieved before, so that argument is baked into this analysis. Another sensitivity analysis for their being twice as many resources as previously known is also accounted for. The initial 1972 estimate placed collapse around 2040. This update places peak civilization around 2018 based on human development index, with slight but measurable decline since, and more decline in the forecast.

> there's a real (10%+?) chance of total environmental collapse in our lifetimes

I suppose I could be described as a doomer too, but I think this understates the issue. Even if we got carbon emissions to zero today, we're facing a very real chance of imminent ecological collapse in our lifetimes. Climate change is just the tip of the iceberg.

To all appearances, (post)industrial civilization is not sustainable, whether or not you use fossil fuels.

The thing is I don’t want the pro-open-source players to fizzle out and implode because funding dried up and they have no path to self sustainability.

? He didn't say (for example) that we should be suppressing the speech of those who would advocate for these values with which he doesn't agree, or something like that.

He simply said he doesn't want to live in a place with those values, which values he links to a certain degree of disregard to the lives and health of his daughters. Seems more intolerant to try to attach approbation to someone's expression of their opinion.

Would you like to go live in NYC or SF? In addition to citing the exorbitant cost, you probably reckon you might not like living in those places from a cultural perspective. Nothing wrong with that; I personally have no desire to live in SF, and I wouldn't want to raise a family in either place.
Ok now that's cool!
The thing I most want from computing right now is the ability to safely run untrusted code in a sandbox on my own devices.

It feels like we're constantly getting closer to this. We've been mostly able to do this in the browser for years now.

I continue to have high hopes for non-browser WebAssembly. I really, really want to be able to run Python, JavaScript, Rust code etc on my phone and laptop inside a WebAssembly sandbox that tightly limits the filesystem, network, memory and CPU access of that code.

I'm seeing glimpses of this being possible - https://til.simonwillison.net/webassembly/python-in-a-wasm-s... and https://til.simonwillison.net/deno/pyodide-sandbox for example - but it's still not as easy as I want it to be.

Garbage article from the very first sentence. Par for Bezos-run media.
Different people using the slogan have different intentions. Some want a two-state solution, some want a single secular state without all of the Israeli ethnostate garbage. I am sure there are also a handful of Islamists (99.99999% of them nowhere near American university campuses) who also want to kill all Jews, but their relatively small proportion speaks to why interpreting the slogans as inherently genocidal is, again, mistaken or dishonest.
When I first saw reporting of these UAE ventures some days ago, it was about suspicion that the owners would eventually exploit the forest or the minerals underneath. It is a frequent phenomenon in sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar that land is first restricted and named a protected reserve, but after ribbon-cutting ceremonies are over and attention moves elsewhere, logging is done with wood being sold to e.g. China’s furniture industry, or the local population’s slash-and-burn practices encroach regardless.
Why I think semgrep is a security tool different from ast-grep:

* Semgrep is security focused. It has many advanced static analysis features in its core product, such as dataflow analysis, symbolic propagation, and semantic equivalence, all of which are useful for security analysis. They are not available in ast-grep.
* Semgrep’s pattern syntax also prefers matching more potentially vulnerable semantics than matching precise syntax. Semantic level information is the better level of abstraction for security model. ast-grep, on the other hand, sticks to faithfully translating users' queries syntactically.
* Semgrep has a one-off search and rewrite feature, but it is not its primary focus. The CLI is a bit slow compared to other tools. ast-grep strives to be a fast CLI tool.
* Semgrep has a product matrix for vulnerability detection: detecting secrets, supply chain vulnerabilities, and cross-file detection. It also has a plethora of security rules in the registry. These features will not be included in ast-grep.

Certainly not for everybody, but using web tech we can move faster, improve accessibility, and create a consistent cross-platform app much faster than with native UI. It also makes it much more accessible for plugins (in the future), and to receive open-source contributions.

>There's this expectation for how much a AAA game should cost, which seems entirely cultural and not based on an accounting of the resources that went into it.

The price of a video game is not a function of how much it cost to make it. The price is set by maximizing unit price * expected sales where expected sales is a function of cost. The demand curves are cultural and that is how it works for any industry.

>despite the fact that the previous standard price dated from a time when game budgets were less than half of what they are today?

Conversely, gaming is a mass market that appeals to a larger amount of people than it did in the past. The masses may be less willing to spend as much as an enthusiast.

>What matters more is that he's selling to an audience that doesn't need to be convinced to buy his product.

He chose to make it a niche product. It would not have been that much extra work to make it into a full game and release it on Steam. He could have even outsourced that work. There are freely licensed doom clones that could be used so it would not need much development time.

"If this was true, we'd see commodity prices going through the roof as a long term trend."

Yes. Sure. Like USD 1000 a barrel. But wait, the economy is already collapsing at USD 100 a barrel. Fact is, the workers can only afford products within some price range. In fact I believe we will indeed never run out of oil. A lot of oil will just stay there, where it is. In the ground.

The question is, are the problems with inflation and balance sheets of many central banks linked to the limits of growth and are this countermeasures?

> the economy depends on physical objects

That's entirely the point, the economy is quickly dematerializing. As the smartphone example shows, we can provide the same service (and in fact, a far superior one) using a tiny fraction of physical resources. Electronic mail and newspapers, online marketplaces, real time video-communication are in every way better, cheaper and environmentally friendlier than their traditional counterparts.

So we can generate far more economic output (defined as transactions people are willing to make, for example software licenses, apps etc) using the same physical input.

Once you own the home folder you can drop aliases for anything you want in the bashrc with almost no one noticing. At that moment point you are essentially done in almost all cases even in the absence of a local root exploit which Linux continues to be rife with. You will eventually catch a sudo password (using a trivial sudo wrapper alias) and all the ssh keys and jump host or password manager config.
There's certainly more than a little projection at work in this insistence that the only way to establish a free sovereign state is to commit genocide against one group or another.

The Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Department of Defense and the Biotechnology Resources Program of the National Institutes of Health supported the Handbook project as part of their long-standing and continuing efforts to develop and disseminate the science and technology of AI.

The electronic text-preparation facilities available to Stanford computer scientists on the SAIL, SCORE, and SUMEX computers were used.

Provable correctness means you have to model your source and target languages.
And then translate the source model to the target model. It is theoretically possible, but in practice, modeling an industry language is way too much work. Some languages do not even have a spec :/

> In 2021, two congressional reports found that many popular food products made for babies and toddlers contain significant levels of lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury, yet an action plan to establish voluntary limits by April 2024 appears to have stalled.

The reports show that the FDA has known that we've been spooning poison directly into the mouths of our babies for years (since at least 2019) and still the FDA can't even get voluntary limits on how much poison is acceptable in a jar of "Gerber peas and carrots" put in place. Until companies are held meaningfully accountable for selling dangerous products, these kinds of problems will only continue, but the FDA seems to care more about the corporations than the public.

I'd love to see the FDA continuously going around the country, randomly pulling products off of shelves, testing them, and then handing out massive fines to companies whose products are unsafe or mislabeled. I'd like to see more ways for people to test food products themselves too.
1) again read the article, you're quoting charts but they're so aggregated it's a waste of time to discuss just them

I don't know if current-gen hand-held XRF detection equipment would be sensitive enough to have spotted the tainted products. But it sure sounds simple for an occasional government safety inspector to walk up & down the aisles of grocery stores, drug stores, toy stores, etc. with a detector, looking for unsuspected contamination (with lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, or just about any heavy metal).
Showing graphics using Sixel is an improvement, but is just a hack to get images to show in a text-only interface. You really do want a native image, so why not get one that you can also right-click and "save as...".

The terminal's text interface is amazing, no one wants to mess with that. But when you look at TUI frameworks, they are using text as UI which is not great. Instead of showing a table with dashes and pipes, why not show an HTML table that you can interact with and can copy/paste directly into excel or google sheets?
I love TUI. Nothing beats its clean UI, focus, speed and the resulting productivity. Learn a few shortcuts and fly. We need more TUI apps.
