The ABA problem is a false-positive execution of a CAS speculation on a shared memory location.

It is very easy to create an ABA problem in safe Rust. Data race free sequential consistency, which Rust has, is almost completely orthogonal to the ABA problem.

This is an area of active PLT research, we haven't come anywhere close to addressing the problem in the general case.

I suspect we'll be seeing all kinds of bugs caused by a generation of programmers thinking everything has guard rails in Rust because "safety", so they can turn their brain off and not think. In reality, those promises of safety largely disappear when threads, files, signals, and networks are involved.

At the end of the day, your programs run on computers which exist in the physical world. The abstractions are mostly isomorphic, but it's at the margins where the abstractions aren't isomorphic that all the interesting things happen.
This is everyone's last chance to trim their roles before the rate cuts. Once the rate cuts occur, the bull market will return, and companies doing layoffs (sending the message they are not experiencing growth) will be punished by the market.
I don't agree with you but I appreciate you providing me with comments like this to cite when I try to convince people "yes, FSF are really that maximalist; no, that's not a 90s relic they moved on from".
Okay, wow, employee abuse is definitely NOT what I support. I must be living under a rock, I will look into this.

The way most sites do this is that absence of a cookie indicates not logged in; any reason this wouldn't work here?
What good does that do though ? It’ll wipe out entire careers so you can have what ? Cheap cartons ?

Not disagreeing, just curious what makes you think this is so incredible ? Did you not have enough to watch before ?
It does seem like odd phrasing. It's correct to not fully trust anything until it's gone through a long verification process.

The rot at Boeing came from the McDonnell-Douglas acquisition and its military-contractor culture of corruption. Harry Stonecipher used to joke McDonnell-Douglas bought Boeing with Boeing's own money.
Looks like it would be an issue for maybe an hour or two a day in either the morning or the evening. Unless that's a location close to the arctic circle where the sun stays that low for significant portions of the day.

Don't get me wrong, that looks extremely annoying, especially if it happens in the evening hours. And I don't whish it on anybody. But the people in that video don't have to endure it the entire day, only while the sun is very close to the horizon.
To some degree the idea of a Creator is easier to wrap one's head around than the idea of nothing-->something.

Of course it really just rolls the question uphill since you're now faced with 'Where did the Creator come from?'.
Happily there are no academic theories on this matter so there's no need to engage with it. Ultimately satisfaction doesn't come from the belief itself, satisfaction comes from the feeling of being Right while others are Wrong.
I wonder if its people noticing that maybe they over hired and now is a better time than ever to fix that. I've seen lots of people use Twitter as a gut-check case study.
It is an incredibly awkward feeling watching colleague after colleague just disappear from Slack all day. People start talking and getting stressed, waiting for a mysterious calendar invite.
Cats and wind turbines present dangers to different types of birds, with the turbines being a danger to larger raptors including condors - so I think your comparison is an oversimplification of the issue, even though I'm a proponent of wind power in general.
Why is it assumed that someone who is convinced by arguments is prone to wrong ideas? Wouldn't that type of person become iteratively closer to the truth every time they hear a new argument and compare to the others they've heard?

I assume Citigroup is planning for the output of their workforce to decrease with all these layoff and not assume the other employees to pick up the slack. Right?
I wonder if this would be cheaper than just paying the water rightsholders not to use the water?

If the Salton Sea doesn't have a steady input (from snowpack? not familiar with it), doesn't desal mean we're really just expanding the unsustainable use of the Colorado, maybe delaying it another few decades, but ultimately still growing more and using more water than its watershed can naturally sustain -- especially as climate change increases?

I think the fundamental problem here isn't that we need to make more freshwater out of brine, but that the California (and other) water rights are set to levels that cannot realistically be maintained. The law needs to change even if that hurts the grandfathered rightsholders; there just isn't the same amount of water anymore.
When has he cheered the DDoSing of websites he doesn't like?

Last year he pointed out how Google was effectively DDoSing Sourcehut[1], so it's not like this is something completely new.

Also, example of "disconnecting of websites" were you thinking of? I mean, I can think of entirely reasonable situations, like if an employee created a website on a corporate subdomain solely to harass others, then asking the employer to disconnect that site is fine, right?
You don't need to set a cookie to know that I'm not logged in. The lack of cookies means I'm not logged in.
Let's wind this back to the days when people thought reading books was an indulgent waste of time.

The best artists are writing trivial drivel for women to read.

The best minds are finding new ways to sell books.

It's a stupid heuristical argument.
Others have already presented good reasons that's unlikely, but either way - and especially if that is the case, then all the more reason to add non government exit nodes.
If you are an ordinary person, this is the way to go. You are not in business of evaluating arguments. You need to live your life and for that accept the most reasonable view on everything, verified by your peers.

However, if you have a shot at being intellectual elite of your society, having epistemic helplessness renders you unfit. And we see a lot of people who look like intellectual elite, paid for taking its place, but not doing any reasoning, evaluating and believing of their own. That's why we seemingly only get problems piled up on us.

Imagine a judge who have a popular preoccupation of who is right and who is wrong, before hearing the actual case and using their own experience.
> No mention of construction, manual labour, mechanics, welders, painters, nothing!

I have the strange feeling that it will be those jobs that will be automated further. There is no need for manual workers in construction - you can have bots build houses, and bots painting them inside. Mechanics are like to be phased out by EVs, there's not even a need to manually change wheels and tires. Everything they do can be automated, and will be automated.
> 3. Cooperation with Mexico

Yeah this seems like a big challenge. Even if the Gulf of California is closer, or if it's all downhill, the requirement for international cooperation seems like it would make this a much more complex option than just using the Pacific. Plus if I were Mexico, I'd honestly be looking at the Salton Sea disaster, noticing that some new plan calls for putting salt down in my neighborhood instead of off the LA or San Diego coast.. sounds sketchy.

Meanwhile, the Arizona version of this plan is understandable.. Phoenix is thirsty, they have no coast, it's shorter to get to one in Mexico than California and anyway they might actually have better luck dealing with Mexico than California. But can anyone explain briefly why California would want or need the plan to involve Mexico?

This announcement is not layoffs. Citigroup is saying they expect headcount to be reduced by 20K globally by 2026. That may include layoffs, but will also likely be attrition. It's also not confined to the US labor force.
In the long term .. yes?

The temperature is a balance between energy incoming from the sun and energy being radiated off into space. Wind and solar don't change that balance directly, although the lower reflectivity of solar panels makes a small local difference. Ultimately it's the transmissibility spectrum of the atmosphere that matters. Which is why we care about CO2 in the first place.
That's all well and good until your economy stagnates, GDP suffers, and all the vaunted social welfare programs are no longer affordable -- never mind covering the staggering actual costs of the EU's own defense against Russia, instead of offloading that cost to the US taxpayer via NATO.

This is not about SteamOS at all. GOG installers (and other DRM free methods) do work well with Wine - and with old Windows computers, no doubt about it. The question is about saving the older computers than, SteamOS itself requires a 64-bit processor with at least 4GB of RAM.

Modern Linux requirements are higher than older Linux distributions too, so there is that.
I find the negative reception here confusing. [...] Either way, a request: please stop using "clickbait"

You're better off directing this stuff to whatever negative reaction or word usage you're referring to otherwise you get a subthread of meta/ants. Or for even less effort required, just skip it. Almost all comments are greatly improved by meta-elision.
Agree. I think about 4 hours is a good rule of thumb for how long you should be stuck before getting help.

2024: A year of political turmoil and economic uncertainty
I mostly agree with your point and I have a corollary around this part:

> Simultaneously, a huge portion of the world saw tech salaries and wanted in on it so they started taking every quick certification, bootcamp, degree, etc to get into tech.

In 2007-2017 the concept of "startup company" was also heavily romanticized, to the point it was almost toxic. I was in university in 2013 and pretty much anyone wanted to build a startup. More often than not it was non-tech people exploiting tech people into building MVPs. It was painful to see (and in a few cases, to experience).

Don't even get me started on "apps". Every moron on the block had some kind of "idea for an app" and was completely clueless to how the app markets worked (let alone how to actually do that).

Of course, being pretty much all amateurish at best, no single business plan was in sight.
Are these layoffs outside of of a normal range? If we assume the rate is consistent for the remainder of the month we can say `currentLayoffs * 2.5` using Layoff.fyi[0] numbers that puts us around 6k people for the month.

> but she seemed calm

She only let them speak for 21 seconds before "I'm going to stop you right there" and you she also referred to their words as "bullshit".

I don't know what level of business discourse you're accustomed to, but if someone is cutting you off 21 seconds into the conversation, speaking over you, and calling things "bullshit" then it's time to slow down and let them cool off.
I would say part of this is related to resale value of their fleet. The daily rental companies have been taking a bath repairing their fleet of vehicles due to supply chain problems that force them to hold on to the vehicles for longer than desired. An offset for these companies has been the strong used vehicle market so they could sell a vehicle with 60,000 miles for more than they ever did in the past. The problem is that used EVs don't hold up in value compared to ICE vehicles. I personally know of a case where a customer purchased a Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS 4MATIC+Sedan and sold it after 6 months at a loss of $50,000 because there was no market for it. The EV resale market is a hot potato that no one wants to hold on to.
Poking around a bit more, visiting https://sentry.io/auth/login/ but performing no action sets first-party cookies __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid, session, and sentry-sc. If I don't log in, but then visit other pages on the site those cookies are still sent.

I don't see why it's necessary that that these cookies be set before I actually log into the page? Or, if it is necessary for a non-obvious reason, I don't see why they need to be sent when visiting other pages under sentry.io instead of being scoped to /auth/login/ ?
It's a very interesting idea - but practically speaking, the kind of water volumes needed for drinking and bathing water for a city like Las Vegas are dwarfed by the volumes needed for the farming of sugar beets, alfalfa for dairy, golf course grass maintenance, etc. If current trends in the American Southwest continue, extreme water conservation will have to become the norm (the other alternative being depopulation of the region).
We desperately need to focus on conservation efforts instead of attempting to engineer "solutions" that only end up encouraging further consumption. Hot take: Maybe the American SouthWest wasn't meant to support > 1/3 of America's agricultural output. Solar desalination of the Salton traps humanity in an energy contract when we could achieve meaningful conservation efforts instantaneously by banning the production of many water-intensive luxury crops. Why is Arizona farming alfalfa for Saudi horses? Why is California producing 2.8 billion pounds of almonds a year? Why is the United States one of the highest consumers of red meat in the world when sustainable plant-based alternatives exist and use a fraction of the water? This regional water crisis (as well as our global climate crisis) cannot be solved without making bold sacrifices to our daily lives. I know this is Hacker News, but not everything can be solved with new/additional technology.
Pretty cool SEO play here. Out of curiosity, where do you get this data from?
Even in that very optimistic vision of the future:

* You don't have the tools or supplies on hand (just let that pipe keep flooding your basement until an amazon delivery arrives!), and many of them are expensive and sufficiently specialized that a homeowner might only need them 2-3 times in a lifetime.

* You don't have any training for using the tools if you had them.

* You might not be physically capable of doing the task even if you had the tools and new how to use them, you might easily injure yourself (or others) or make the problem worse, etc.

Think of it like youtube - for most household repair tasks, you can probably already find a youtube video of someone explaining how to do the fix. Do roofers and plumbers and electricians still exist, even though a youtube video can show anyone how to do most of those tasks? AGI glasses seem like they might make less of an impact for most homeowners than youtube has.
If you're a builder manager you can make more, but if you look at residential housing, the people at the bottom aren't making shit. Mostly it is a poorly regulated, non-unionized, highly dependent on under the table pay industry.

But anyway about it, if there is suddenly an influx of manual/physical labor poured into the market, labor prices will drop far below the living cost and all hell will eventually break loose.

I totally agree, and I would also add that some companies are like those North Korean officials with a ridiculous number of medals, everybody is "head of something" and decorated with as many titles as possible. All of that is meaningless.

Do you have any specifics for these particular devices? Have you inspected the driver and firmware and found it lacking? Or did you test them and something came up?

Internet is full of bad experiences, but mostly from windows laptop users and from 2-3 years ago, around the time the driver was being upstreamed to Linux. It has been solid and growing in features ever since. Throughtput is pretty nice 500mbit/s for a single 80MHz channel setup I'm using and stable.

There's no other choice for actively manufacturer supported wifi device usable for AP for Linux anyway. Broadcom drivers are unsupported for years, and firmware heavy with lack of firmware updates from manufacturer. Bad combo. Intel is not for APs. And that's about it.
> it's clear that this is not the reason

In this case, it's not clear that this isn't the reason. That's something the laidoff employee calls out herself; the HR people aren't familiar with her KPIs or work. They don't have any expertise in her industry, and it's unreasonable to expect that.
The LLM related stuff is almost certainly not currently deployed. The US military has extensive sampling and testing periods before they distribute new kit to the infantry, and OpenAI simply hasn't had enough time to present a killer app (imo).

That's not to say AI isn't used in warfare; computer vision has been an enormous part of recon and targeting pipelines over the past decade. But LLMs themselves are going to take a looooooot of fanangling before it sees active duty. Think Hololens, not M4 carbine.
Yes, and I think some of the neediest juniors (or seniors who behave like juniors) have now substituted in ChatGPT for some of their nagging.

The ones I see doing this most heavily are not really developing themselves and improving in any meaningful way.

At least a stack overflow thread will be filled with alternative solutions, arguments, counterpoints and caveats.

ChatGPT leaves the questioner with the illusion that they have received the 1 good answer.
Postgres Postmaster File Explained
I imagine 5% could easily be work where you want an actual human being, not because they are better than AI, but because they are a human being, and that is what you are wired to want.

I'm pretty sure 95% in that definition would include trade workers.

5% could be something like teachers, babysitters, because you want children to have that human to human connection.

I think it could be thought of as "95%+", meaning even if computer is more intelligent, we'll still want humans because they are humans for some things, because we, ourselves are humans and that's what we want.

Things like healthcare should be fully automated, except for a small percentage again. You have a health problem, you go in, you don't need that human connection unless you have a very specific need, some of the times.

We started an ESP32-based design but for internal R&D purposes, within our inkjet manufacturing division. In that sense it's not commercial but uses professional toolsets and contract manufacturing etc., assurance of supply and supply chains.

In the past we mainly used STM32 both because it's a great chip and because we have a tight relationship with ST. However, some of the younger employees we recently brought on are big fans of the ESP32 and we thought "why not give the youngsters a chance".

It's looking really promising, the ESP32 nicely fills the niche between low-level Arduino-like micros and Linux-based larger boards like the Pi.
And a shrinking part. OTOH...we have a few tens of thousands of people just in the customer support call centers.
I don't know what it means to be a member of the cabal. I just showed up one day and started writing edits.

I have about a thousand edits now. Some of them were reverted, but most weren't. I think the reason people perceive there to be a "cabal" is that they edit articles that are either very contentious to begin with (national identity, gender, politics) or are high traffic and most of the content has already been discussed at length.

Even in those areas, I think there is not a cabal, just lots of angry individual people who oftentimes end up being banned if they get angry enough.

But I don't generally edit in high traffic areas generally because I don't like long litigations on talk pages. The last time I saw the "cabal" in effect on Wikipedia was when I tried to rephrase some things on a page related to a controversial topic. There were two users working together to load the page with some very biased terms. I tried to remove them but was swiftly reverted. I think that's what you mean when you say the cabal.

I gave up editing that article because a long fight didn't interest me. Since then, both of the users trying to guard that article against edits have since been banned from editing in the area that article was in. The "cabal" as you see it is usually just a small number of very interested editors with a strong opinion. If their opinions are too strong, then they're usually in violation of Wikipedia policy and they get cleaned out eventually. I don't like to fight with those people though.

My favourite thing to do on Wikipedia is clean up around the edges.

If you follow this link, you'll be taken to a random article which is tagged as being written in a promotional tone. There are around 25,000 articles like this on Wikipedia at the moment.

https://randomincategory.toolforge.org/All_articles_with_a_p...

These articles could use attention from an average, unbiased person to help tidy them up and read more neutrally. I see fixing Wikipedia articles like a kind of gardening. There is a lot to do in areas which are not trafficked so highly.

I hope you would consider contributing one day.

Seems to me it would initially be a narrowly scoped to the immediate outflow. As the brine dissipates I assume it will be normalized by the rest of the ocean as it's diluted.

However, as with all human endeavours, scaling up will scale up the problem. And we won't pay attention to that until it's a huge issue.
Reading that, I see more references to inappropriate resets than seems reasonable. It seems to be that Airbus could benefit from a more systematic way to manage what happens when a system is reset and to address the factors that give the crew incentives to reset systems when not authorized by the instructions from Airbus.

This sounds complex, but possibly quite worthwhile.
