Attending OFC years ago, the most important conference on optical communications, I heard a sentence that I often repeat:

"Wireless means less than a wire".

Definitely, whenever I can, I choose Ethernet instead of Wifi.

> That is reason why women got voting rights in 1970 in Switzerland, they were worried about conscription.

Not sure how that translates into "a huge opposition to conscription on ethical grounds"?

> Israel has a huge orthodox religious community that opposes conscription

They're 13%, is that right? Is 13% "huge"?

And do they oppose it for everyone on ethical grounds? Or just for themselves, while they'll happily let the rest take care of the national defense using conscription?

I know TARP didn't cost anything monetarily[0].

I state that one of the observations you can make about TARP and its aftermath is that banks weren't forced to do business differently and the bulk of the TARP money didn't go to help average Americans. There were other paths than TARP.

The fact it "didn't cost the government anything" is a red herring, in that it didn't produce the desired behavior or outcomes that were intended as the TARP money was suppose to have strings attached.

All I see is reasons for strong regulation and breaking up the banks so that "main street" banking is wholly separated from "wall street" banking, so losses can't cascade the same way, even if is at the expense of some marginal profits. Why should deposits and traditional lending be exposed to wall street speculation? This what happens when you allow speculative finance, corporate investment banking[1] and (for lack of a better term) regular banking to co-exist in the same institution.

Boring banks are good. We used to have a lot of them before the M&A sprees of the 1980s and 1990s, which was purely fueled by consolidation which in turn, those consolidated assets were invested in riskier and riskier financial markets and other endeavors. I will continue to argue it was not a benefit to the American public.

[0]: Though not all costs are directly monetary, or even monetary at all. One outcome of TARP and that time period is everyone is now comfortable with the idea of "too big too fail" and seemingly, governments are willing to bailout risky financial speculation of N size[2] with no consequences for those who made the decisions to participate in that speculation in the first place.

Keep in mind too, as noted elsewhere in this thread, its still up to debate whether that is strictly true or if the total cost has not been calculated correctly

[1]: I don't know where to draw the line here because "investment banking" is a really broad term, that covers everything from M&A finance to market making to individual investment services under the umbrella term. For arguments sake, I'm sticking with "corporate investment banking" to hopefully add clarity

[2]: N = whatever the minimum threshold is that financial institutions can convince the government to bail them out for while arguing not doing so will cause "a disproportional economic downturn"
This sounds insane.

> One of them is getting the messages from the other party(ies) involved. You can't protect yourself from this even if you self host.

You certainly can, the self destruction messages are one of the ways, sure, it is not the only solution as you need to make sure the OS is secure itself too, but definitely helps in that case, no messages stored at rest and all are encrypted in transit.

> Something else that might happen is you ending up with your phone hacked

Which is essential to have a messaging platform that allows multi-client/cross platform, say running that app on a hardened OS is an option and possible compared to only iOS with a phone a number for example.

> write all code yourself, and host everything without ever leaving your server alone.

You don’t need to write it yourself, as long as you can read it, and host it knowing no other services are spying on that server, should be miles ahead of other apps like signal, sure, you can still have that server breached, but first you need to know where’s that server, or even you are using this messaging app in the first place, contrary to Signal for example, all I need is checking if you use it by the phone number. Not to mention it will make it harder for whoever is trying to spy on you, if most people ran their instances, but that’s a little bit more of a dream as the average person won’t, but at least the option should be provided.
Signal has documentation on how to reproduce their Play Store builds and compare them with what you've installed locally:

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/blob/main/reprod...
The only killer feature I really want is the ability to use Signal without it being tied to a phone.
It's been what, 30 years, but even the ending has way more cgi/vr than 3 seconds. The movie may not have been made had they not used the name of King's short story, which isn't all that good to begin with.

That said, I think the Johnny Quest remake had plenty of vr. It was pretty cool for its time.
> because I wanted to be the decision maker on the technology and business issues that I developed with my own team and I wanted to do great things together with my team.

Why if you have no experience ? I never understood that. You have 5y of experience, which isn't a lot, in small start ups. And you want to be a decision maker ?

I would course correct to try to work in bigger companies and learn, instead of dictate.
I bought a DJI mavic when it first came out - and it would not allow me to fly it - even with the small 2-stick controller - without installing the app, which required an account.

I sent it back.

Later, I found out HOW MUCH data was sent back to DJI. It was basically everything. It was sent to a variety of sites, with stuff like flight profiles, images, all kinds of stuff.

I think open source drones are the answer.

I find it hard to find users. I just built an app to share memes with my friends. It's invitation based. I invited the first users and they each got 3 invites when registering. I got 7 of my friends to join (similar sense of humor) but that's it. They don't seem to be using it all the much also, and also haven't invited any of their friends.
> old Mac

> older OSX

How old OSX are we talking? Is it older than current Xcode with Sonoma supports? If it's that, then you have your answer. If you want to daily drive and older machine Linux or even Windows should be fine, but this is not really the way with Apple hardware - if it was, Xcode would make this easier for the developer. For reference, you can still build for Windows Vista using current Windows 10 SDK - I haven't tried Windows 11 SDK, so not sure how things are there.
"Connection string" already means something else. I'm partial to "Identifier", myself.
Cloud makes provisioning more servers quicker because you are paying someone to basically have a bunch of servers ready to go right away with an API call instead of a phone call, maintained by a team that isn’t yours, with economies of scale working for the provider.

Cloud does not do anything else.

None of these latency/speed problems are cloud-specific. If you have on-premise servers and you are storing your data on network-attached storage, you have the exact same problems (and also the same advantages).

Unfortunately the gap between local and network storage is wide. You win some, you lose some.
In Windows' "Virus and threat protection" settings there is the following checkbox (defaults to enabled):

Incredible product, will give it a spin soon. How do you do under volume? I tried it out with Google but it was quite slow.
Snap was the external name for the internal project known as User Space Packet Service (abbreviated USPS) so naturally they renamed it prior to publication. I deployed an app using Pony Express in 2023 and it was available in the majority of cells worldwide. Pony Express supported more than just RPC though. The alternate RPC approach that you spoke of was called Void. It had been experimental for a long time and indeed it wasn't well known even inside Google.

> but I remember it wasn't that much better than 0.5 ms.

If you and I still worked at Google I'd just give you an automon dashboard link showing latency an order of magnitude better than that to prove myself…

FWIW C and C++ also have plenty of compiler-specific and language errata due to unsoundness issues in the spec / implementation bugs following the spec. I don't really follow how an alternate Rust compiler would solve this since a language errata needs to be fixed at the language level & would impact all conforming compilers unless this alternate Rust compiler basically forked the language, in which case the Rust trademark is good as it lets people disambiguate between the forks.

If it's a design issue, the Rust team is doing pretty good on that front I think in terms of exploring new ways of represting the type system (e.g. Polonius & the Trait solver work that's moving forward).

Also, even if it somehow a new compiler somehow improved soundness without forking the language, especially for a language as complex as Rust, at best you're just picking an alternate set of bugs. AFAICT the Rust team follows best practices in terms of developing the code & managing the people working on it, so it's hard to imagine an alternate compiler team would outperform their progress until the Rust project itself stagnates. Also, any successful fork would likely start with rustc as the basis anyway (the struggles and slow-going GCC is having reimplementing Rust within GCC should exemplify why a separate frontend isn't helpful).
I think Anthropic and Mistral offer this but you have to join their waiting lists first.

>15 years ago every party and community meeting was a facebook event.

It's still like this in Europe. Comedians, bands, bars, cafes, basically any kind of venue and enternatiner, organize and announce their events mainly on Facebook. There isn't another alternative that's as seamless and all encompassing as Facebook for this.

With one facebook account I can follow all the bands, bars and cafes in my city without them having to build their own website(they don't even bother) and me having to subscribe with an account to each of them separately.

Also, the marketplace is great for selling old crap and for finding plumbers, electricians and various handymen as Facebooks is their main free advertising avenue.

SO IMHO, it's far from dead, its just not the cool new thing anymore that gets you hooked, like TikTok, but unlike TikTok it's actually more valuable.

This is the issue with first-order thinking: if you assume all other factors as constant, then sure, increase in demand with no change in supply is a problem.

Domestic policy, especially around jobs and employment, has been hostile to domestic workers. The US re: management of the economy does not correctly account for inevitable immigration, so the response is a reactionary one to conditions that could and should have been anticipated. We can make room in our economy for more workers because we know how to improve productivity: capital investment into productive enterprises.

The way we do capital investment today is largely by incentivizing private investors to take ownership of shares in companies, but as we've seen that creates perverse incentives around maximizing shareholder value -- see: massive layoffs of late, commonly justified by the phrase "wages are up to half of expenditure". It's a direct consequence of fiscal policy and the way the economy is structured. This doesn't even address things like wealth and income inequality, which are for this discussion out of scope.

What about a more holistic approach, with public money invested and public ownership of companies? This puts the companies in a context where they are measured not just by pure microcosmic profit measures, but by their contribution to GDP as well as exports. The government uses different functions for optimizing different metrics than private citizens. Free marketeers pretend that private investment can achieve the same macroscopic goals but we've seen exactly how and how often those assumptions, hopes, and dreams fail to be borne out in reality.

With more public investment, and easier paths to citizenship, US productivity re: GDP and exports would skyrocket if implemented correctly. American exceptionalists would come full circle to the ideals of earlier times by creating strength through diversity on the shoulders of a "nation of immigrants". What's more American than that?

All of this goes against institutional common sense, but even that's somewhat besides the point, because the point is that GP just assumes that their view on the matter is obviously and absolutely correct so the conversation ended before it ever began. To echo the pithy and trite tone of GP: know-it-alls and pooh-poohers are un-American.
How does one do this in macos?

On recent Macs, it's automatic in most programs, including Mail, Preview, Quickview, and others. Just hover your pointer over text in an image, and if the computer recognizes it, you get a text cursor so you can select the text. No extra software needed.

If it's a language you can't read, you can often ⌥click the selected text and it will be translated into the language of your choice.

Therefore I cited the core of the program as well. It also does a bunch of non trivial async processing there.

I’ve written at least two other non-toy Rust programs and I haven’t hit “lifetimes everywhere” problem there either. I guess the most lifetime related problems stem from trying to program the Java/Python/JS style in Rust - from overusing references and indirection. If you model your program as a graph of objects referencing each other then I can imagine you have a hard time in Rust.
Well said. After linear.app showed the jump in UX for local data ('moving databases as close to users as possible') it became really easy to answer the questions below by saying checkout linear.app

* Why do we need local-first?
* We don't need offline support
* Google already has all my data, don't care about data ownership (a little orthogonal)
It is difficult to overestimate the value of being able to actually take time off because changes happen in a reasonable time and your software just works without any surprises. Give me a boring tech stack, please!
> This is where LlamaParse comes in. We’ve developed a proprietary parsing service that is incredibly good at parsing PDFs with complex tables into a well-structured markdown format.

This is my problem with projects that start off as open source and become famous because of their community contributions and attention, then the project leaders get that sweet VC money (or not) and make something proprietary.

We've seen it with Langchain and several other "fake open source" projects.
Hey, this comes at a perfect time for me.

I had posted my app on Betalist about a week ago and received a vulnerability report about incorrectly configured DMARC from a security researcher. I made the fix but wasn't confident about it. Shortly after, I received a couple more similar emails.

With this tool, my first check failed, citing an invalid SPF record. (I had an extra `.` at the end of my TXT record). Now, the check shows all passing.

I hope all is good now (emails are wild).

From my limited understanding:

SPF <- Should this server be sending emails for this domain?
DKIM <- Was this email tampered with?
DMARC <- What should I, as a recipient, do if SPF or DKIM fails?

Thanks!

That is a fair point and I can see how the amount of prompt engineering would reduce. However, even a human has to be told how to solve a task, what tools are available to them, and how to stay within guardrails. Prompt engineering is how that is done.

Questions popping up in my mind:

1) Why are organic materials (probably any carbohydrates) only supposed to come from the surface? Would it not be plausible to assume that Titan's ocean ground contains significant amounts of carbon?

2) Why do they assume that there are only dilution processes in an ocean (surface or subsurface). There could be currents and suboceanic terrain features concentrating carbon-rich water (at least I do not know any reason against this).

An issue with doing a COVID-19 challenge trial that I heard from someone in this space at the time: Nobody actually knew how much virus to administer. We weren't sure of the normal quantity of COVID-19 a person typically inhales before becoming sick.

A major argument in favor of a challenge trial was that, for people who are young and otherwise healthy, COVID-19 isn't particularly deadly. However, we don't know what would have happened if we accidentally gave participants 10x the normal dose of COVID.
