Was this your link that said "there was a cartel in an industry once"? That doesn't seem to demonstrate a general issue.
I've been on a prison binge lately, so I recommend Ear Hustle. A podcast from prisoners of San Quentin prison about life behind the iron bars.
But the behaviour hasn't changed. Aggressive stock buy backs while losing billions and poor culture are still there.
What you want, and what in the medium term I think Jason plans to provide, is a Netlink API from kernel WireGuard that just gives you a feed of all the public keys the kernel has seen from initiator messages. With that feed, you wouldn't have to install a single WireGuard peer in advance. They could all just live in a SQLite database (or something), and get installed on-demand as clients try to connect with them.

If you're a VPN provider (for instance), the current API is a little clunky. It's not just that at any given time only a small fraction of your peers are actually in use, though that is probably true. It's also that as the number of peers you handle scales, from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions, you lose the ability to store them all in a single instance of the kernel at all; there are just too many. If peers have to be pre-installed, a consequence of that is that they get locked to specific server machines.

But, as the post points out, you can get a facsimile of the interface you need today with simple packet capture. And Jason set the API up so that you can --- very easily --- flip the initiation from server to client so the connection experience is seamless, even though the kernel dropped the first initiation message (because the peer hadn't been installed).

So that's the idea here.

Jann Horn pointed out that we could have taken this a step farther: we could have held on to the initiation packet that we captured, and, once the peer was installed, replayed the packet into the kernel. Which is also a neat idea.

I don't think there's much in this post that is going to change your life. It's just a couple of neat tricks that we thought people would like to know about.

(Though: the next step for us is to build on this to get "floating peers", de-regionalizing them completely, so users no longer have to think about what region their peers are configured in, which I think will actually have a product benefit for users, unlike this, which has primarily nerd benefit.)
There is something similar in the US called (iirc) an "IRS Letter" - which is basically the IRS saying how they interpret the law.

It is not binding, because they may be wrong. As long as you act in good faith, you can disagree and could end up in tax court or in real court, and the IRS could lose.

If you're not in the "make wage, pay tax" basic group, you will want to seriously investigate the tax advantages available to you, and how to take advantage of them.
I would say conceptual awareness is a far bigger bottleneck than visual perception data.

If rumors are to be believed, without reflectors on, the F-35 should have a radar cross section smaller than a quarter (which is a bit larger than a 1 Euro coin). On top of that, its radar is purported to outrange Russian and Chinese radars by almost 2:1. Just looking at it for air supremacy missions, the thing is basically invisible (to radar), and can launch a missile at an enemy jet before they could even detect it, if it wasn't basically invisible.

This is a common issue with ADHD and autism, where no matter what you try you are too different to live as society "says" you should. Many people live for 30 years before getting help in the form of counseling or medication because these issues almost always feel like the person suffering from them "can't do what they are supposed to do" so that's also a common thing - you can kind of scrape by for a long time but eventually it's too hard to ignore.

It's also not something you can just "tough out with gritted teeth" because it's fundamentally not something wrong with you, it's essentially society expecting everyone to be able to just deal with what society requires when that's not always possible.

There is hope, and I'd advise talking to a professional if you can, and if not at least research ADHD symptoms and stories about how autistic people finally deal with how difficult life is when you are neurodivergent. It might help you realize that YOU are NOT bad, just different. Short example might be "dogs and cats kind of look and act similarly (both 4 legged mammals with a tail) but only one can easily climb a tree, and it's not a failing of the dog that it can't act like a cat and climb a tree."
I'm fairly sure it has actually, under some axiom schemas.
Very very very long. More capacity takes huge investments and many years to bring online. Airbus won't do that for a temporary increase in orders.

Large airplane orders are always significantly discounted. Airbus has an easy option here, reduce discounts (which rumor is they have already done significantly) and make a lot of money. Let the queue be the queue, they can't add extra capacity in the short term anyway.
PyTorch and CUDA solve completely different problems. CUDA is a general purpose programming environment. PyTorch is for machine learning. PyTorch won't ever displace CUDA because there are things other than machine learning models that GPUs are good at accelerating.
Alt-W does that too though
Very neat - thank you for sharing.
He was CEO from 2015 onwards. The MAX' first flight was 2016. It's safe to say that Dennis didn't have a say in greenlighting the MAX program, unless he was such an impactful CEO that he could greenlight MAX and get the plane built in a year, in which — well, good job? It turns out that during the max program, Dennis was managing Boeing's security division.

Pointing to Dennis as a failure of an "engineering CEO" because of the MAX incident isn't accurate.

I hate this solution. Instead of simplifying tax law, the government is just building another layer of crap on top. If this is all they are going to do, why bother at all? Why not instead subsidize tax preparation software for “simple” cases and be done.

In this case it sounds like it wouldn’t be censorship because it’s individual users that choose that particular moderation layer to, for instance, de prioritize certain voices. For others these voices are still loud. Just not for those that turn on that particular moderation layer. That’s how I understand it.
Conservatives fear and already suspect mass Internet censorship of election stealing and conservative viewpoints, etc. They would be skeptical, for only partially legitimate reasons though. An unreliable ally in this fight I think.

Also, US trust in mainstream media is falling and people are turning to other sources of news. These alternative news sources won't be happy to see mass censorship, because they know it could happen to them.

If they do ban TikTok (or ruin it somehow), an entire generation of kids will be embittered against the government and learn an important lesson; a silver lining.

You may be right. I hope you're right.

> Porn isn't speech. It falls under obscenity.

In the US, you are dreadfully wrong. Also, obscenity has a very specific, and strict, definition. The second prong under the Miller test is:

> Whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct or excretory functions specifically defined by applicable state law

There is a large amount of porn that isn't going to satisfy this prong because it's not going to be sexual conduct--fetishes like BDSM could well fail to depict any sexual conduct whatsoever. It wouldn't surprise me if less than half the videos on PornHub were actually considered obscenity under the Miller test.

> If banning the production and distribution of pornography is not possible with an outright ban, strangling this monstrous industry through onerous regulation is a pretty good tactic.

Sorry, you don't get to curtail constitutionally-guaranteed free speech just because you don't like it, and "strangling [...] through onerous regulation" is no more viable a vehicle than an outright ban is under strict scrutiny.
I was intriuged so I looked them up. Looks like they're going to start building. This is pretty neat.

That was one of my first ideas, because it could actually work out. But it has the potential to become even more problematic than Boeing.
Understood. However, that issue appears to be a process/maintenance issue as opposed to flight certification situation like the 10 has.

Finally, killing off the 10 will likely force Boeing to actually build a new plane instead of iterating on a half century old design.

Personally I hate the 737. It needs to be put out to pasture and replaced with an aircraft design that represents modern ideas.

That seems like a strange and out-of-place statement, unless I'm misunderstanding it.

I am not dismissing the studies, but we have to look at the studies through the society that they were done in.

To ask, is the study saying that there is an inherent problem with porn in an isolated bubble or is the problem with porn in the way our society is setup. That is a very important question and drastically changes the conversation and the action items.
tl;dr

People are increasingly turning to bots powered by artificial intelligence for advice when they get sick. But the bots aren’t always right. Bots “have a veneer of human confidence that engenders a greater degree of trust or credibility, which I think is frequently pretty misplaced,” said Dr. Joshua Tamayo-Sarver, a consultant on medical innovation.

In some cases, the AI has helped pinpoint patients’ conditions. A woman in Alaska earlier this year credited ChatGPT with figuring out she had multiple sclerosis. But, a study said it gave the wrong diagnosis more than 80 percent of the time after it was presented with pediatric cases.

To me, I don't even need a multi-threaded system to want Rust's ownership system.

Too many defects that I've encountered in the past have been centered around the detective work that goes into whether or not you happen to want spooky action at a distance.

Ah, in this instance we've created a list with objects in it and someone somewhere else is modifying it. This is causing the defect.

But in this instance we've created a list with objects in it and then someone is creating new deep copies of those objects so that someone somewhere else can no longer modify it. And THAT is causing the defect.

Rust makes this process significantly more explicit (although, I suppose someone could go a little crazy with RefMut and/or &mut and you end up back in the same place where you started with other lang).

The fact that this also makes threading much easier is very much welcome to me.

Fashion. The tech industry is in the main not really an engineering industry, but rather a fashion one. That’s why it’s always about the hot new language rather than improving the tried and true. That’s why folks use macOS rather than Linux, and why we use Linux rather than Plan 9, and why Plan 9 was not succeeded by something even better (to be honest, I wonder if maybe we should all be using Multics?).

Covid had a massive impact on life expectancy in the US - a drop of 2 years, setting the US back by decades. Countries that pursued a more aggressive strategy of preventing spread saw much smaller drops in life expectancy.†

The fixation on Covid during the pandemic was entirely justified. It was the elephant in the room.

† Covid single-handedly led to China passing the US in life expectancy. A number of Asian/Pacific countries (e.g., Taiwan, Singapore, New Zealand, Vietnam) pursued similar strategies as China, and they uniformly did better than the US and Europe.

I feel like maybe your idea of reliability is different from what is typically referred to, but the idea is that a reused rocket has already proven that it can do the job, so with sufficient bathtub curve statistics, the risk of losing a payload is lowered.

A brand new rocket doesn't have that prior, you're left to assume that the entire thing has been assembled perfectly. While this assumption is often still fair, it'd be hard to call something genuinely reusable if it got less reliable after the first use.

The example of a car doesn't make a lot of sense, as even a purchased new car has been driven, while a new rocket has never flown.
Show HN: Top Content from Farcaster
I recently launched a daily newsletter that curates the top content of the day of a decentralised social network called Farcaster.

Farcaster is a decentralized social media platform that aims to revolutionize the way people interact and share information online, think like Twitter but without Elon or anyone to block your account.

A few weeks ago, I invited some crypto/web3 friends to Farcaster, and they struggled to find the value. Common responses were: "I don't get it," "It's too niche," or "too much shill." I knew there was good quality content on Farcaster, so I started manually curating the top content per day and sending it by email. Overnight I started to get hundreds of subscriptions.

However, manual curation became painful. Going through trending topics, channels, etc., every morning was not scalable. So, I started querying the casts, filtering, and using AI to select the best content for myself. After a few iterations, I've achieved a high-quality automated classifying system using AI and built an email system that sends the emails after my last supervision.

Unfortunately there is no email platform that allows this type of automation, so I have to build the entire platform from scratch. Content curation, user subscription, email sending and more.

Tech stack:
- Vercel for db and netxjs hosting
- Resend for email delivery
- Zeplo for queueing emails
- LLMs for curation and spam detection: gtp-4-turbo and claude-3-sonnet

I was not expecting this to grow that fast and I was hoping to do it manually for quite some time, but I guess it is a nice problem to have.

I tried before to create other newsletters but failed to reach content market fit. I guess my take away from this experiment is that nowadays to grow at this rate you have to go first very niche, second you probably need a lot of customisation.
