The thing with analog electronics is that the sum of parts is not equal to the parts. Attach two components together, and it creates feedback effects that change the behavior of the two components.

You might be right though, that the only way to learn the skill of putting things together is by designing a thousand circuits and building intuition.
> It's a lot cheaper to let people drive in to a central bulk store like this and buy what they want in large quantities than to have a network of tiny, walkable stores and try to predict demand and optimally distribute goods to them with delivery vans.

Cheaper for who? Car ownership can be a huge financial burden compared to transit.
They call it "multikernel", but it's really more the standard "microkernel hosting kernels" model. On small devices, they don't include the Linux support, but it supports a Linux Kernel Abstraction Layer that in turn hosts a modified ASOP. You can find similar examples of this all across the real-time OS space. Other examples include QNX and the NT Kernel, which traditionally hosted the Windows "personality".
Both, and they're related in the sense that software errors can become exploitable vulnerabilities. This is a handy summary by the NSA: https://media.defense.gov/2022/Nov/10/2003112742/-1/-1/0/CSI...
With the caveat that I was exactly wrong about the books de-listing, I feel you are making my point for me and retreating to a more pragmatic position about defaults.

The (quite entertaining) saga of Nightshade tells a story about what is going to be content creators “default position” going forward and everyone else will follow. You would be a fool not to, the AI companies are trying to end run you, using your own content, and make a profit without compensating you and leave you with no recourse.
Instead of making sure SQL injection is not possible at all by using proper stored procedures and other techniques, they just limit a few keywords and hope hackers don't come up with something that they haven't thought of like some escaping trick.

Yeah that would probably work for a while. Until someone proves it doesn't :P

It's not really rocket science anymore to make sure user input doesn't mix with your SQL. This is not 2005.

And really if this works in the first place you're storing the passwords unhashed which was even a dumb thing in 2005. If the same applies to the username or other user input fields it would make a bit more sense but passwords should never enter the database like that.
That's not really the point, the point is it's not an honest campaign. Elon Musk isn't donating money because he thinks Phillips will win, he's doing it because he thinks it'll help Trump win. Because Phillips needs to act soon, he can't wait as he says until Joe Biden appears unable to win. He needs to make that assessment in a week or two, before the general campaign even really starts -- so it isn't honest.

IMO it is fine to run for president, and to vote for whoever you want. But running a campaign that is really intended to just give the edge to another guy, is dirty politics intended to fool voters with an illusion of choice.

When the richest people in the country engage in those tactics, isn't democratic, it's plainly oligarchic.
Hbr worried about inequality, that's not common!
I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this but why would so may people want to deal with Ozempic when you could just put the fork down and move your ass instead, while saving a lot of money in the process? Walking, running, doing pushups is free.

Obesity from stuffing your gob with too much food is the most first-world-problem ever. There's people out there with real problems who need care, that aren't self inflicted from their own gluttony.

> Women in their early age are attracted to the risk-taking macho who (...) pleases her. (...) In case they find a boring man (...) they (...) divorce him.

Perhaps you should start off by assuming women are people with free will, and afterwards take a long hard look at why people tend to prefer partners that "please" them over those who instead have nothing to offer and try to use economic stability as leverage.
The false dichotomy is to believe that these new drugs are the more extreme interventions.

Many people who go on semaglutide were on the road to bariatric surgery before these drugs were widely available. Bariatric surgery is a major surgery, with not insignificant rates of complications. I guarantee nearly everyone who gets this surgery considers it a last resort. Yet now, most physicians believe these new drugs will essentially put bariatric surgeons out of business.

I'd be all for any options with fewer side effects, but handwavy "endocrine health" doesn't cut it, again for the society at large.
It only breaks in staging, right? I hope you're not running anything in the physical world like Uber or Tesla.
This claim always comes up as a supposed flaw, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s the same metric over time. If you look at the unemployment rate now compared the past it’s very good.

Also, wages have been increasing faster than inflation since last January. I don’t think that would be happening if there was a labor surplus.

> especially a university (which should be a bastion of people with competence and organizational power)

Generally the opposite. University staff positions pay pretty poorly compared to what the most competent people can earn elsewhere.

There are some bright staff people at universities who are there for other reasons besides the pay, but the competence of an average university staff software developer is not great.

This is also why over the past two decades universities have trended to SaaS subscriptions rather than building software in-house
How is gaming any different than anything, like watching movies?

It has nothing to do with gaming and everything to do with volume levels...

I game all the time and I have my volume levels really low. Like way lower than I listen to music at for example.
Correct, we should be legally enforcing that they do the right thing, with legislation that has actual fangs, for companies like Equifax. It should be a potential bankruptcy event when you leak most of America's social security numbers through sheer incompetence.

The problem is that WAF-style security-theater is being enshrined as the industry standard instead, which means that we're just going to get more of these problems instead of less. In other words, a half-measure like this doesn't just distract from doing the right thing, it's actually literally useless for any real security, and instead it's more likely to allow serious security issues to go unnoticed for a much longer period of time.
Apple tried licensing once before, and it did not work out very well for them (e.g.: I owned a PowerComputer PowerTower back in that time). I understand how it would benefit a number of people, but Apple is a consumer company. How would this benefit Apple in a meaningful way?
FreeBSD and Go are slow to change, extremely hesitant to introduce API changes, and adhere more towards tradition.

Rust and Linux are changing rapidly and aren’t as worried about completely uprooting entire systems. See for example sys v init vs systemd.

Go didn’t get generics until 1.18 and promises backwards compatibility.

In Rust, the popular command line parser Clap completely changed its API between 3 and 4 such that you’ll need to update your code.

As much as I like predictably and simplicity, I think Rust will largely be more successful similar to Linux winning over FreeBSD.
On the one hand, reducing obesity by 15-20% with a pill is pretty amazing. That certainly reduces negative outcomes and improves people's lives (and saves society money).

On the other hand, pharmaceutical companies only care about money and the chemistry is pretty straight-forward. They will continue making new drugs, and they will certainly release a "newer and better" version when their patents run out.

But, there will certainly be unintended consequences, and we still don't have a good understanding of the cause of the obesity epidemic.

There's still some portion which are disconnected but there's not many. What'll probably be more important soon is learning how different vehicles react when you physically disable their tracking mechanisms. E.g. if I were to just cut and remove comm antennas will the vehicle keep running just fine or will it notice and start throwing codes or refuse to start? Would making modifications like that be legal? We're going to be forced to do such things in the pretty near future to remain untracked.

Maybe an idea for a website someone could make - provide the ability to search by car/VIN and have it list out all the tracking that's built into it and whether each can be forcefully disabled/removed. The ability to search for cars with the least amount of tracking built in, or that has easy to disable tracking, to inform you on what cars to buy.

From that link, it looks like FreeBSD is beginning to phase out MIPS and PPC entirely, and 32-bit ARM is nearing phase-out. It seems entirely reasonable that over the next few years it takes to integrate a Rust core that the "blessed" architectures of both projects will be aligned
There were actual experiments not just wild ass guess for those numbers. I took the midpoint in reference to the conditions being neither the absolute best or worst.

Use of the car during the day needs to be discounted. This is an impractical art project so driving a solar car at night is perfectly on theme.
Stores like Costco and Ikea exist in countries with good public transit. They're just one among many types of store. Transit advocacy isn't about eliminating everything except public transit. It can just be about improving transit so that the infrastructure for vehicles isn't overwhelmed with all the people who don't need to use cars and don't have other options.

Here's something for context (in portuguese, from the most well-respected newspaper): https://www.publico.pt/2024/01/20/sociedade/opiniao/mitos-me...
This newspaper piece breaksdown the numbers and shows that it's not that abnormal and that 30% is the top range of an estimate.

Journalist and context at its best.
Sadly, most media don't care about that and most people don't read the articles and some that do still don't understand what is written and what is not.
Also, most media in Portugal is right-wing, from center-right to far-right. The owners profit with the misinformation.
Shouldn't the "scrutiny" have been there years ago following the 737 MAX 8 crashes killing hundreds in Indonesia and Ethiopia?
And yet the fact it needs to be explained in order to proceed in a discussion on the matter says a lot about the cultural normalization of the car.

Many do not consider resource consumption in production and disposal, as well as emissions as regards particulate matter (road and tire wear), when engaging in topics like this, so clearly this insight is not as obvious to many as it ought to be.
No problem, thanks for learning it.
> The 3% fee is a much smaller problem to have than what the world of crypto brings.

That's not an argument. Name the problems specifically.

> Oh and while we are at it, remind me how to get majority of customers to pay in crypto who are used to just credit cards or wires

There are tons of off-the-shelf checkout flows that allow customers to pay in cash and companies to receive the funds on chain.
You aren’t paying the full price for the roads you use or the parking, or the zoning requirements which force almost every property owner to subsidize your transportation choice. You aren’t paying for the additional healthcare required for the people who live around where you drive, or compensating them for the lowered quality of life, or compensating for the impact your much greater carbon emissions profile has on the entire planet.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. "10 years ago the Rust compiler couldn't produce a binary without significant size coming from reference counts after spending minimal effort to try and optimize it" doesn't seem like an especially damning indictment of the overall strategy. Rust is a language which is sensitive to binary size, so they probably just saw a lower-effort, higher-reward way to get that size back and made the decision to abandon reference counts instead of sinking time into optimizing them.

It was probably right for that language at that time, but I don't see it as being a generalizable decision.

Swift and ObjC have plenty of optimizations for reference counting that go beyond "Elide unless there's an ownership change".

Or just use hydrogen or hydrogen derived syn-fuels without any of the disadvantages.
Both for sure, and which one is a bigger deal depends a lot on context.

Cybersecurity issues make Rust a good choice for writing parsers for example. File format parsers handle scary data from the internet (JPEG, X.509, etc), and those often contain addresses and offsets that turn into raw pointers in the implementation, so they're a common source of security bugs. At the same time, they're usually isolated behind a reasonably tight API, so it can be practical to rewrite them in Rust even when all the calling code is still C or C++ or even Python.

On the other hand, fewer-mistakes-sucking-up-dev-time is an especially big deal in multithreaded code. There was a story from Mozilla about how they'd tried to add threading to part of Firefox (I think it might've been the CSS engine?) and failed multiple times, but then they succeeded in Rust. Threading bugs tend to be painful to reproduce, and Rust's compile-time checks are extremely valuable there.
Isn’t it in both the FAA and Boeing’s interest to produce safe and reliable airplanes? It seems like the regulatory picture is not effectively fulfilling its duties, but the ultimate responsibility is with Boeing’s leadership structure for promulgating a culture where design lapses can persist and human error can be compounded.
While Graeber is far from the only person to draw that conclusion about IVC city sites I do wonder what he and Wengrow would have made of Göbekli Tepe
Transit (and freeways) as property development schemes are very underecognized, thanks for pointing this out.

The Henry George Theorem (Sitglitz 1977) states that (in the right conditions) funding of public goods like transit and freeways increases the land value and therefore land rents by more than the investment amount. Namely, it creates value, but for whoever owns the land.

Changing to less car centric development has the potential to vastly increase value. I'd advocate for a land value tax to fund the public investment, but would be happy with whatever non-car centric options are made available, honestly.

Microsoft, Google, and other companies have all determined that about 70% of CVEs are memory-related. Here's the US government's take: https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/news/urgent-need-memory-saf...

These memory-related exploits disappear with Rust aside from in "unsafe" blocks (possibly the worst named keyword in any language... it should have been called "trusted"), and that means you have a smaller and more easily auditable attack surface for these types of memory-related exploits. Some code (e.g., FFI) can't be verified as memory-safe by the Rust compiler at compilation time so "unsafe" is there as an escape hatch. I've written a bunch of Rust since 2014 building things like webservers, realtime futures processing algorithms, MEV bots, etc., and I've only had to use "unsafe" a few times.

I've also worked in security on products at Fortune 100 companies, and C is a constant nightmare for CVEs. I think I have PTSD from having to update libcurl. The more software we have written in memory safe languages, the better off we all are.
`lgtm` is a legit typical outcome. biasing to approving, in many companies & software setups, is a great default. ex: we might `lgtm`, or make comments that are suggestions for follow-on PRs without blocking the current.

The NYC subway is "massively used" but it isn't universally used, and for good reason. It's a national embarassment, both objectively and using an informal international standard scale for equivalent cities. As a result, the NYC subway is somewhere between intolerable and unwokrable for another massive part of the population who can't abide its relative lack of reliability, the danger, the filth or a combination of these.
> I once started working on something similar, but the goal was to suggest a list of ingredients for me to buy for the week so that I had a good total nutritional values. I don't work on it anymore though.

Cronometer has a feature that does this – it checks to see where you aren't hitting your daily targets for macro/micronutrients and then suggests foods that would allow you to hit those targets. Quite nifty.
That's called CPU cache. It doesn't require "mixture of experts" (whatever that would mean) it just needs transistors for SRAM.
ok but that's not what i want.

the thing is written in Rust. but does not expose a Rust query API, you have to query it through Datalog queries in strings; what you shared there just builds those strings from python.. it'd be nice to have a directly native API, with horne clauses constructed in Rust.

Does this even work in the long run? When you stop using this drug, and you have not adjusted the way you eat/live... don't you just yoyo back up? I'd think so.

Having been morbidly obese, i can say that being told to lose weight doesnt work.

You have to want it, be dedicated to it, and have the mental support.

For me it was exercise and changing your food patterns: more small things to keep you full longer. Not denying yourself anything, but everything - and i mean everything- was weighted, added to a calorie tracking app. Your max is your max. Want crisps? Sure, but that comes out of your food budget.

It requires dedication that i find a lot of people are just not willing to put into it, and hence... the popularity of a drug like Ozempic.

I've lost 70kg (154lbs) and it is nearly a decade in still a struggle, having been obese for 20ish years. But the health benefits alone make it worth it.
They’re using the word “bad” as shorthand for deviance, because people often view all deviance as bad. I can’t imagine someone going through adolescence without deviating from their own or other people’s expectations and learning something from it— be it about life, themselves, their relationships, or even deviance itself. However, I obviously can’t see into other peoples minds, and my experience was far more deviant than most, so it’s not a representative point of comparison. I do think testing boundaries by defying rules and expectations, even in pretty benign ways, is a pretty normal part of adolescence, and I think by labeling that “bad” the author was trying to elicit a similar response: “well if it’s beneficial, is it truly bad?”

CICO is thermodynamics. People argue against it because it means that to lose weight, you either burn more or, drum roll, get in less. There is really no way out of physics, argue all you want.
Your freedom to drive generally reduces other people's freedom to walk, bike, and take transit. Among other things it's often illegal to build homes where people want to live so that you can park your car there.
