I sounds recognizable and also insightful and as such perhaps the beginnings of a research question and hypothesis… I’d advice against making it more than that for now. We need real research, scientific recommendations. Something real. Otherwise it could just be a reflection of the human state as it always was. Similar to blogs claiming: “Stuff is not fun anymore, when I was young…” Yeah that’s it, you’re now old and you’re not having fun anymore. It says nothing about the world.

Hmm. My notes suggest TOPS-10 inspired Data General's RDOS, which inspired CP/M.
Personally, I don't like it when corporations tell me what I can and can't do (especially if it involves threats), and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Any damage can be ignored.
Fair enough:

> Where was the act of creation that led to the increase of the value?

I'm not sure what you mean. Finding and extracting the asset adds a valuable, productive good to the economy (ignoring the enormous downside).

Are you debating the word choice, "creating"? I guess I don't see that discussion as valuable. Are you using the word choice to make a point? Make it!

> How did the land to acquire become yours?

You know how; again, please make your point?

> Most likely you didn’t discover the land, or do anything to find the materials (hiring people to do labor) so there’s no reason to think you should receive anything

Is all of this an argument for communism - the only ones who do anything valuable are the workers? I think that's as self-serving and narrow-minded as the ultra-capitalists who think only they matter. Providing and allocating capital is essential and a valuable skill; if it's easy for you, I'm sure you have plenty of it by now.
Which computers?
How does that help if a trash can lid gets blown off?
Arent they aliens? So their technology to transform between vehicle and robot would be somewhat alien to humans.
Ever watch someone's personality change after they develop Alzheimer's or dementia? It can be rather disturbing.

Same goes for people who drift in and out of depression or bipolar disorders. There are mood changes, but with them come changes to risk tolerance and a host of other fundamental things.

At the end of the day, a person's character is in some way biologically defined, so any expression of consciousness must also be affected as well.
It's well documented across the order Mammalia, not just humans.

Being that it is a buffer overflow, yes, if glibc were in Rust I think it shouldn't have happened. I believe I saw a libc reimplementation project in Rust, but that's a big effort and not something I would expect to be drop-in for a long time. That said, I think we should try to avoid turning every vulnerability discussion into one about the merits of Rewriting it in Rust.
Apple support has not been best in class for years now.
MM terrifies me as an extension. I run it in its own separate browser profile with no other extensions installed. My fear is actually that another extension can hijack MM.
Sorry I should clarify, the 250 shows + movies estimate comes from number of shows / movies listed on MAL for this season times 4.

But since I also auto-download "related" releases for each thing airing (like seasons / movies from previous years), this comes out to ~24000 video files on disk (mp4 / mkv, excluding the million bluray raw segments). This tally is probably inflated by the bluray extras / op / ed files and a tiny bit by dupes (tracker is poorly organized)

I'll dump the actual stats in a few minutes but point is the 30TB has a lot more than the year's worth I mentioned ("250 seasons / movies"), because myself and the people I share the library with like to catch up on stuff before watching the newest release.

But yeah looks like ~15TB are from bluray remuxes which is definitely overkill (40~100 GiB per season).
That's a good point. Perhaps Firefox will benefit from an embrace/extinguish maneuver for once. Become compatible with Chrome extensions, then take over the space as Google retreats. This path too passes through no longer referring to "browser extensions".
I keep hoping to find a cyberdeck that’s better than the Radio Shack Model 100 from 40 years ago. It ran for 20 hours on 4 AA batteries. I think the Raspberry Pi is usually the weak point. By itself, you only get 3-4 hours of runtime on 4 AA batteries.
"Gratuity" is an amazing euphemism for corruption in a system :))
I use to work in Microsoft DRM. I used to say: the key is on the machine! This is like leaving your house key under a rock in the garden. It just puts up a barrier of a certain level which puts off most villains.

I think between high definition VR displays, the apple watch and Stable Diffusion we have the pieces to assemble 'The Entertainment'.

Imagine if rather than clip guided diffusion of images, the noise is guided to render by pupil dilation, heart rate, skin conductivity and any other signals that indicate excitement and pleasure for a specific indivual.

What you'd see is what your heart most desires as in Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker.
We agree. You don’t want universal computation in your configuration. Your “gas” approach is the right one and very weak computationally. I further posit that you don’t even want to offer gas fuelled TC and everyone would be happy with a provably total primitive recursive language fuelled by gas. Why? Accidents happen. I’d rather have my configuration tool tell me statically that some construct isn’t provably terminating than wait to find out later when someone imports my config snippet library and uses it in an unexpected way.

Isn't that beautiful. The ultimate inviolability of mind and
consciousness is both absolute loneliness, and simultaneously a great
safety.
Qui prodest is the question you must ask when you hear the usual points against, mostly security. It's not that every person that dislike extensions or repeat the same arguments is paid by "them", but it's a little shocking seeing so many negative opinions in a forum called Hacker News.

This comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39251996 by Retr0id hits the nail in the head. It's not that we cannot modify the software, but there are so many layers of inconvenience... what about modifying and recompiling the browsers themselves? They're so big now. The solution would be extensions. But no. Security.
I believe the first snprintf only returns a negative value if the format string is broken. Musl has decided to avoid that by not breaking the format string. If that changes, returning -1 is the least of their problems.

You can see the implementation here: https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/stdio/vsnprintf... and https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/stdio/vfprintf.... .
Yes, but if you check out what's available to a consumer right now, you have 18TB and 20TB drives, which are about $10 per terabyte, then 22TB jumps to $13+ per terabyte. If you insist on 24TB, you're looking at $23+, so more than double the price per terabyte. My beat up full sized ATX computer case I got on Craigslist can hold 10 HDD, so I'd go from 200TB to 240TB? 20% increase in capacity for an extra $3500 doesn't seem worth it for storing Gilmore Girls episodes because my wife swears she's gonna rewatch it!
Maybe in Europe. Not in North America. The article even discusses Amiga hard drive use.
I wonder what the split between OS X and iOS / iPad OS is
Of course. Microsoft Ubuntu anytime soon. Free APIs. Premium APIs with a subscription.
How can malware prevent a panic? Its process is priority over pid1? I'm very ignorant to this stuff. Wouldn't the kernel know it's being manipulated, like a startup/JIT checksum or something?
It also doesn’t help that Xcode will make random little edits to storyboards/XIBs by simply viewing them. It conditions developers to commit minor changes to these files without looking closely which leads to unintentional changes finding their way into production.
Forget all that.

1. They increase the attack surface of the browser
2. They have routinely been transferred to (for money) or taken over by malicious entities
3. Often they subtly break things in ways that are fine for expert users but which result in support reach out by others

The whole extension thing is a mess.
KVM vulnerabilities are rare compared to Linux kernel LPEs, which makes sense, because KVM is a relatively small part of the Linux kernel compared to the system call and driver attack surface. Containers are great, but shared-kernel security isolation of standard Unix programs doesn't work.
Extensions were compatible for years until Google changed the manifest format and parts of the API.
I'm happy to see that you are able to strike a good balance between those two worlds and, in an ideal world, that should be the ideal outcome, rather than going back into the stone age.
I dunno, it's certainly worked with Denuvo for me. If a single player game comes out and I really want it, I'll check torrent sites, then buy it if it isn't on there. Without Denuvo the stuff shows up like, 20 minutes after it gets released.
It's not the lack of a fine grained permissions model, it's the total lack of a real threat model and any consideration at all for what happens as extensions change over time.
I was wondering if this was significant, or a one-month blip, but it does look like a legitimate (and long-lasting) trend:

2009-01 "Linux": 0.64

2013-01 "Linux": 0.88

2017-01 "Linux": 1.55

2021-01 "Linux": 1.91

2022-01 "Linux": 2.19

2023-01 "Linux": 2.91

2024-01 "Linux": 3.77
Not the case there. The context of this was definitely not a typo.
Well, tech is a bit different in that because it uses a computer (and a lot of roles aren't highly monitored, if at all i.e. WFH) you have the choice to do things other than your job.

I imagine most people working with a computer in a corporate role, are spending maybe a few hours of their time actually working, and the rest of their time doing things they actually enjoy doing.
The obligatory "this is the year of the Linux desktop".

Does this include phones? So Android is lumped in? I'd expect it to be much higher if it did.
if you have an NN that is probabilistic, how do you update the prior after sampling from the posterior?
Thank you, now if I may. Lets rewind to 2008/2009, the banks were gambling on risky mortgages, those mortgages were adjustable rate and sold at a low interest rate. When interest rates rose it caused widespread defaults, and the fear was that the banks would also default on their loans too. So we dropped several hundred billion dollars on it and "saved" the banking sector. In reflection, people will say the economy "grew", but it is indistinguishable from an upward transfer of wealth, and it led to a "k-shaped recovery", where the upper echelons gained and the lower echelons lost.

More concerning is the actual lack of explicit definition, appologies for the trick question. There isnt a great metric to measure growth, some will point to GDP, or unemployment, but the former can be manipulated by increasing government spending (more on that later), and the latter doesnt account for the qualitative aspects like whether someone started as a business owner and now work at starbucks.

You could point at the stock market, but again this isnt a great measure. Wealthy people have a higher fraction of their wealth in the stock market, and benefit disproportionately to the less wealthy. Moreover, the stockmarket goes up for reasons that dont have anything to do with production. When interest rates go down the stock market goes up (generally), at first this might make sense, businesses can better afford the resources they need; except, at any given price point there are only so many resources available, all you have done is increased demand and driven up prices. The same occurs with government stimulus, you are giving people more receipts for wealth, you havent created the actual wealth though.
----------
Lastly, and most importantly, there is the mechanics of our monetary system. It would be nice if there was a thing we called money, and that money had some kind of value based on available goods and services. This is not accurate though, we have "legal tender" or "currency", which can be used to settle debts.

The distinction is important, because it necessarily implies that debt cant be paid back, and here is the crux. Every dollar in the economy was created through debt, like when you took out a home loan, or when the government takes on debt; that debt has an interest rate, and new dollars cant be created except through more debt. If debts were to all be repaid, there would be zero dollars left in the economy, and there would still be debt left to pay.

The only, and I mean only, way to prevent this from causing a cascading default, is to continuously add more dollars (and debt!) into the system, prolonging the pains of inflation and delaying the date of reckoning for an ever shorter period of time.

So how do you respond to your money being devalued constantly? The answer for many is, "follow the money" and blow it on a new car. Very few investments will ever beat the actual rate of inflation, so a dollar saved is a dollar wasted.
Also nobody is asking why it's pointed up, but it's the same reason. Your hand is usually below your eye-level.
From a theoretical point of view, the most intuitive cursor would be a crosshair, but I've tried that and don't like it.
I'm not the person you asked, but alienation was a major theme for early 20th century sociologists who studied the ugly effects of urbanization in those days.

Alienation means the breakdown of social ties and the fragmentation of identity. Durkheim published theories on this stuff well over 100 years ago. He also studied suicide.

I agree that we're probably seeing a continuation of trends that began long ago and that are tied in with capitalism, urbanization, and the decline of religion.
Land, and space in general, also costs money. Higher efficiency cells get more energy per unit area. So the effect on LCOE depends on how big that factor is.
I believe the profit number, even the number of lines
> 8 lines of code in the manifest of your extension.

As long as they are lines [like ones used to collect card info](https://www.theregister.com/2018/09/11/british_airways_websi...) from British Airways (supply chain attack).

For how many days will profit be collected is the question (plus the fun criminal investigation).
> How would you "statistically show" a reevaluation that is in process?

> You obviously can't evaluate by the outcomes, because the reevaluation is still in process, and in this particular case outcomes in terms of power to grid take at least 3 years after you have finished evaluating and started building. And sometimes a bit longer. And of course you do have plants reaching their end of life during that time, so you might not see a net positive total for a bit.

> On the other hand, 22 countries just pledged to triple nuclear output by 2050 at COP28, so just a little over a month ago. That's a significant departure and includes countries that were getting out of nuclear power altogether, like Japan. It also includes all of the G7 except Germany and Italy.

> https://www.energy.gov/articles/cop28-countries-launch-decla...

Just goes to show how strong the nuclear lobby is. Building out nuclear does not make economic or environmental sense. With the price trajectories of solar, wind are on we should be investing everything into renewables and research into storage to reduce required overprovisioning.

> Yes, China is going for renewables. That's because China goes for everything. Including more coal. Yes, they are building out renewables, but that's because they have little to none at present, so they are still at a stage where adding more renewables won't destabilize the grid.

What are you talking about? China had a third of worldwide installed solar in 2020 (250GW)[1]. In 2023 that had more than doubled to 530 GW [2] and that is accelerating (for 2024 they are projecting another 230 GW).

> They are also massively expanding their nuclear fleet, with no fewer than 20 (twenty!) reactors currently under construction and another 70 currently being planned. That's a tripling of what they have now.

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_China

So China has 57 GW of nuclear and want to get to 200 GW by 2035 (while also having missed their 2020 goal of 58 GW [3]). They are adding more solar every year than that every year. That just shows how completely disproportionate the economics are. The recently approved nuclear power plants (which get to 70GW i think) cost $80 billion [4]compared to $140 billion in solar which gets you 230 GW.

I am willing to bet a significant amount that China will get nowhere close to 200GW nuclear by 2035.

A side note it's funny how you state that China does not have any renewables why making nuclear sound like a huge part of their grid, while in reality just the installed solar capacity is 10 times that of nuclear.

Yeah, the jump from "illegal streaming" to "they will all install malware your pc and steal all your money, trust us" is just too big. A large amount of people you're reaching with these ads have pirated at least something in the past with no such side effects. It just makes them look like corporate liars desperately trying to scare gullible people.
> obviously not going to save the world by itself

Sorry to pick on something said in passing, but nothing saves the world by itself, nothing and nobody. People love to say, 'my vote [or whatever they do] won't change things'. Nobody can change things by themselves, yet things are changed enormously by people - how is that? :)

Thanks for the feedback. But could you elaborate a bit? Are you interested in pieces that lay on the scientific-side of things or personal stories?
This is fantastic. Too bad they redacted the names. These scumbags deserve to be known. And the saddest part of the story is you don't know if is true or a cover-up. On the other hand it appears to be MIT. Are Google Chrome extensions reproducible?

> For Apple, often there is no good library.

Do you have examples? I’ve not often run into this in my projects. These days there’s Swift packages for most things, and in the worst case I’ll have to write a simple wrapper around some C or C++ library.

SwiftUI is still green yes, which is why I’ve stuck to UIKit for anything moderately complex.
I develop native applications for Windows and Mac (using Qt and C++). I get a strong feeling that Microsoft (for all it's flaws) cares a lot more about developers than Apple does. I wonder if some of this is because Gates was a developer and Jobs wasn't.
You owe taxes all year round. What you're doing in April is settling up and filing for the year. If you run your own business, you're required to pay a lump estimated taxes 3 times a year in addition to your annual filings. If you're too short, you owe and you owe interest. The IRS has a safe haven rule where if you pay 90% of what you owed this year, or at least 100% of what you owed last year, they won't penalize you. It's actually one of the reasons I personally do over withhold. I do some contract work on the side, and rather than calculating and sending in estimated taxes every quarter, I just have my regular job send in about 25% of the contracting income I expect to make. On years when I did as much contract work as I expected, I basically get nothing back or I might owe $200. On years where I don't, sure I gave the government an interest free loan but I also didn't have to think about my taxes for the whole year.
It was never "scientifically sound" for reasons of unfalsifiability.

Was it ever a useful tool? Here and there maybe.

Has it had a massive infuence on culture and the world? Absolutely.

So I was chatting with a clinical psych/therapist recently who said
"Since it could only be validated from the _inside_ wouldn't it be
hilarious if advances in AI validated Freud?" Like GPT10 comes on and
says " I want to kill my father and fuck mum, pass me the cocaine!"
Well, for example if your roof isn’t big enough to generate power for the building, you don’t have a choice but to use more efficient panels to minimize your grid energy dependence.
Their unity is pointless unless they can do much better.
Which model wasn't the premier AGA model? The A4000?

The A500 didn't have any fast RAM either. In fact, when you added the A501 RAM, that was slow RAM. So it doesn't surprise me the A1200 was the same.

I'm 39 now and have a lot of coworkers/friends in their 20s who are absolutely fascinated by Linux and know nothing about it. But they seriously think it's the coolest thing. When I became a sysadmin in my 20s nobody thought it was cool and we made $40k to run million dollar networks. What happened.

I have friends who just want to sit there and watch me code they're so fascinated and I spent basically my entire childhood/youth hiding my hobby because it was "nerdy."

Every time I post an SRE job listing I get more programmers who want to move into infra than infra who want to program. When I was a sysadmin in 2006ish I was DYING to be a programmer and NOBODY wanted to sysadmin it was the computer janitor no respect job.

Now I do the exact same thing but at hyper scale and it's cool I guess.

A lot of people cared very much but we elected Reagan twice in the 80s so he we are. They've also been trying (and failing) to automate and outsource programming for decades. There's also a pretty big difference between the automation of repetitive assembly line tasks and the automation of culture itself imo.

MacOS went from 16% in early 2023, 20% in mid 2023 and now back to 16% in 2024.

Chrome also went from 4% to 2%.

And to me the most surprising thing was FreeBSD at 0.01%!
There's a kind of naive thing going on on HN where peopel see a bug and ask whether or assert Rust will fix it. The problem is they are homing in on just the bugs Rust addresses - this is fine, I've had this conversation at work (not involving Rust, even) for two decades, including discussions about Java.

The problem is that Rust solves _a_ class of issues without even beginning to address other kinds of problems, and so this sort of thinking is evolving toward a mindset that "oh it's rust so no security issues", which is completely wrong.
