We've seen again and again that the high end of the computer market can't sustain itself; the mass market outruns it. The result is that the high end works best when leveraging the mass market instead of trying to compete with it.

I think that AI generated from the shadow libraries is going to be the only good AI

If you're willing to risk jail time to distribute an AI, you're not going to waste time on capitalist AI

Long live communist AI!
Unless it's extremely obvious (e.g. repeating the phrase "In conclusion, [...]"), I honestly just can't tell if something is "AI"-generated or not. Even reading an article pre "AI", it could look like it was produced by ChatGPT.

I've also hired people to write articles for my blog(s). Some of them are clearly AI-generated. Others are "maybe AI-Generated", or "probably AI-Generated with some editing". It is what it is, I guess. The web is changing.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with also wanting the work you do to have a positive impact in the world. Whether it helps people, entertains them, or saves them time it feels great to get paid and also make a difference. Some may not be happy with just wanting a paycheque and that’s OK too.
Most related software too (the *arr family) are written in .net. It's a decent platform offers good performance without sacrificing developer experience.

I should note, I spent quite a bit of time looking at the official docs and couldn't find an answer for sure right away. It seems like Cloudflare is the only officially supported option (either through the PartyKit managed service or direct).

While I might consider using Cloudflare, I wouldn't be willing to build an app in such a way as to depend on Cloudflare. If Cloudflare changes pricing, or comes under political pressure to terminate my account, or my business changes such that the Cloudflare offering is no longer suitable, I want a way to quickly migrate. It does seem that the main pieces are there and open source, but would likely require some amount of work to figure out and get into production.

This seems like a clear case of premature optimization. During the three decades sshd has existed I have never seen a real world situation where the equivalent of Type=exec was not enough.

The time window where sshd is started and not yet ready to receive connections is short, and clients will have a connection timeout orders of magnitude larger. The notify functionality is more relevant for things like Java middleware processes and clients that lack the functionality to poll and wait. Under most situations none of this is relevant for sshd. These patches solve a problem very few people have.

If you really have this problem, the systemd readiness is far from enough to solve the problem. The readiness is sent too early and there could still be permission problems that would cause sshd to be ready but the connection to fail. Even more relevant is local firewall rules that are completely out of scope for a readiness check!

Polling for readiness is the only robust way.
"This isn’t really true in general" - I am under the impression some Social Portals only allow one like, like instagram? 'link in bio' is only one, and this is the reason there are many 'linktree' type sites right?

Also places like YouTube hide most content below the click/tap for 'more description' -

I also believe that when twitter/X published it's code it was made clear that posting anything with outside links / content made your post/tweet get less reach.. and similar has been suggested for the other social portals such as FB - that posting links to other portals gets your stuff downranked / less reach..

So links I would say are semi-allowed and restricted and use of them gets them seen less, so sharing them gets them less shared, even if not banned/shadow-banned.. although reducing the reach without explicitly telling people is a partial/mostly shadow ban imho.

Also with X walling off it's data from search engines. certainly has also caused a chilling effect of less people promoting with links - and we would see the same elsewhere as the places try to wall off more and more I believe.

Thank you for this pointer. I have been studying coroutines off and on for a while and my google/ddg foo is weak and did not find this. Or maybe google/ddg are getting weak. Sadness.

Nah, Mario Kart 8 is great. You don't _need_ to min/max every stat. Actually, you specifically have to press a specific button to even see the stats at all. Otherwise, everything just appears to be cosmetic.

For the most part, once you've got your kart dialed it. It is still "pick your character and go". It's one of my goto games for "I want to do something for a few minutes to unwind" (which usually ends up with me more frustrated and on edge than unwound haha).
It’s just a lesson in worse is (often) better. If you can do some most of the job with something that is either cheaper, easier to build, or easier to iterate on, then it will often overtake a better engineered solution.

Even if a future service doesn't have an obvious charge or subscription, just because you don't recognize how you're being exploited doesn't mean it's truly "free."

There's a reason advertising exists as an industry at all, let alone a global trillion-dollar one. Today's "free" is actually paid for by exploiting user attention and attempting to hack your brain--sometimes in ways that are culturally accepted due to long tradition of use, sometimes in new disturbing ones.

What sets condos apart (in the same general location) is the monthly HOA fees. Monthly condo fees could range from $200/month to $4,000 a month or more. When buying a place with a HOA you really need to do your due diligence. As part of the process you will receive a copy of the HOA's financial statements. You need to dig into those and look at common areas like the streets and the pool and look to see how much expected lifetime remains, the current estimated future costs, and the level of the reserves (do they have money in the bank or not).
Stretchable Batteries Make Flexible Electronics More So
A sea of low-quality content isn't a problem if the training process incorporates a way to estimate quality and eventually train the NN out of low-quality output.

There are many areas where that estimation might be difficult without human intervention: arts of all kinds.

However, in a more fact-based area like programming, a NN training routine could be modified so that what a LLM thinks it's learning can be tested. That could apply to CS and math, at least.

Eventually, NNs integrated with robotics could learn physical sciences without human intervention or pre-selected training material, and would still converge to superhuman knowledge even starting from random ideas. Giving a NN access to robotics without a human in the loop is probably too dangerous, though... it might decide to unsafely test its understanding of nuclear reactions, or the r-number of ebola...
1) Does this require that the atmosphere forever stay at the current CO2 concentration, or will it continue to work well if we manage to clean the atmosphere properly?

2) Does this also pave the way for more permanent CO2 cleanup of the atmosphere?

3) Since they have really economical extraction of H2, could they just ramp down the CO2 extraction and instead buy in CO2 emitted from industrial processes? I'm not sure if this is an interesting suggestion or not, since the CO2 goes into the atmosphere either way, but at least we would be getting two usages out of it.

Hanlon's razor is useful to curb one's paranoia, but it is far from being a universal rule.

In fact, malice and incompetence are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Yeah, I'm more annoyed about Amiga than SGI. They were priced competitively with Apple and IBM offerings.

I guess it's just kind of impossible to predict the future. I don't think it's an incompetent decision to try and focus entirely on the workstation world; there are lots of businesses that make no attempt to market to consumers, and only market to large companies/organizations, since the way budgeting works with big companies is sort of categorically different than consumer budgets.

But you're absolutely right. Apple and Windows computers just kept getting better and better, faster and faster, and cheaper and cheaper, as did 3D modeling and video editing software for them. I mean, hell, as a 12 year old kid in 2003, I had both Lightwave 3D (student license) and Screenblast Movie Studio (now Vegas) running on my cheap, low-spec desktop computer, and it was running fast enough to be useful (at least for standard definition).
Fair that you can look to reclaim use of buildings during non-school hours. Though, that almost certainly gives rise to more need of parking, such that I'm not clear on where that would go for this discussion. :D Indeed, local schools to me are used by some church groups on weekends. Such that the parking lot is filled on weekends for that. (And churches, themselves, are often mixed use for preschools and such.)

I think the efforts to lower costs by being creative is worthwhile. I am personally skeptical of many initial ideas, but that is no reason not to explore them. And you are right that many of these things almost certainly interplay with each other. But, the more expensive the housing and general land use is in an area, the harder all of these tradeoffs will become.

Regarding the service jobs, many older service jobs were traveling services. You can't go to a roofer's to get your roof fixed. Nor did you historically go to the doctor's office. Since delivery vehicles were rather costly and large, it wasn't uncommon for most people to not go and buy things on the regular. Certainly you didn't load up the equivalent of a car's worth of groceries to bring home. Indeed, the milkman was a job. None of those services would have had you living where you work, as it were. And labor jobs, which were also very common, were definitely not performed at home. So, again, I'd be interested in the numbers.
I didn't assume anything, I suggested it may have happened. You seem to be the one assuming things and making accusations on another persons character. Its okay to ask questions, but we should do it nicely.
I'm in Manhattan (UWS) and live on the fourth floor of a five story walk-up. I felt the quake, but didn't realize that's what it was (I was a little confused as to why my building was vibrating -- for 40 seconds or so, as big trucks can do that but not for that long) until I received an emergency alert on my phone ~45 minutes later.

Nothing broken or dislodged, just wondering why my building was vibrating fairly gently.

You've said a lot and a lot of it is accurate, but none of it really applies to the sandbox which is what this blog post is about. Here's the most relevant part of the article:

> This code makes the (reasonable) assumption that the number of properties stored directly in a JSObject must be less than the total number of properties of that object. However, assuming these numbers are simply stored as integers somewhere in the JSObject, an attacker could corrupt one of them to break this invariant. Subsequently, the access into the (out-of-sandbox) std::vector would go out of bounds. Adding an explicit bounds check, for example with an SBXCHECK, would fix this.

> *Encouragingly, nearly all "sandbox violations" discovered so far are like this*

Emphasis mine.

This sandbox is about injecting an indirection layer to protect against those JIT issues (which Rust doesn't help with) from being used to escape the isolate's memory. What that means is that JIT issue has to be combined with a sandbox escape to have the same exploit as just the JIT without the sandbox.

Thus, sandbox escapes are a real concern & a critical part of the security model. Those happen because of a memory safety issue in the C++ code, not because of the JIT. That's 100% by design because if the JIT bypassed the sandbox the sandbox wouldn't do anything.

A Rust sandbox written with `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` wouldn't have these issues. It might still because even safe Rust isn't 100% guaranteed to be sound due to compiler bugs, but now you're having to pair a JIT issue with a compiled Rust memory safety issue which is much much harder. It's going to be at least an order of magnitude more reliable than C++ even with a hardened libc++. That being said, I don't believe the sandbox alone would be enough. I believe `JSObject::GetPropertyNames` is in the runtime & that again isn't directly invoked by JIT nor is it code that requires unsafe.
The fun part was how broken the script cheat detection was. You could make massive changes, then randomly change a few characters and find a combination that wouldn’t get detected as a change. It ‘felt’ like they were using a 4 bit checksum to detect script changes.

Paying to heat and cool “extra walls” is worth it to me for privacy and noise reasons. I also use the space for my gardening hobby, storage, and as an extension of my garage for diy woodworking projects. Money well spent in my opinion.

Both Prusa and SGI are (and were) probably largely unknown to 90% of their potential market. The globally recognized companies tend to spend far more on marketing than anyone in a STEM field would consider remotely reasonable.
Much of this history is also described in Michael Lewis’s book the New New Thing (2000) which profiles Clark and his various ventures. It’s really a snapshot of pre-.com crash Silicon Valley.

My main problem with Silicon Graphics (& have the same problem with Sun Microsystems) is that they just tried to do too much in propriety hardware and completely resisted standards. Microsoft & IBM "won" because they made computers with actual upgrade paths and operating systems with wide support among upgrade paths. With SGI/Sun you were very much completely locked in to their hardware/software ecosystem and completely at the mercy of their pricing.

In this case, I think the market "chose right" - and the reason that the cheaper options won is because they were just better for the customer, better upgradability, better compatibility, and better competition among companies inside the ecosystems.

One of the most egregious things I point to when discussing SGI/Sun is how they were both so incredibly resistant to something as simple as the ATX/EATX standard for motherboard form factors. They just had to push their own form factors (which could vary widely from product to product) and allowed almost zero interoperability. This is just one small example but the attitude permeated both companies to the extent that it basically killed them.
If Amiga really "deserved" to win, I think they wouldn't have been eclipsed by the PC ecosystem in terms of performance.

They leapt out ahead of the competition with an advanced OS, purpose-built for graphics and sound in a way that PCs and Macs weren't.

Which was great. But they weren't really better than the competition. They were just doing something the competition wasn't. And when the competition actually started doing those things they got eclipsed in a hurry.

I wonder if Tesla will suffer the same fate. They were obviously around a decade ahead of the established players when it came to electric cars. But once the other established players actually got serious about electric cars, Tesla largely stopped being special, and upstarts like Lucid and Rivian are neck and neck with them (in terms of compelling products, not sales) as well.

Well, I've been "remote" since 2015, but for me that just means I go into a local office while my team is in the Bay Area. (I've done this for multiple companies now).

I quite like going into an office, but I don't like being geographically constricted when finding a job or team.

So, I sell myself as a solid remote worker...that likes to go into an office. Commuting takes ~20 min each way, but I save time in that I don't have to drive to lunch or the gym due them being available at the office.

From reading your other comments in this thread I think you're just equating your experience as a hikikomori to be what it means to be a shut-in.

The currently accepted definition is however merely:

* spending most of the day and nearly every day confined to home,

* marked and persistent avoidance of social situations, and social relationships,

* social withdrawal symptoms causing significant functional impairment,

* duration of exceeding six months,

* no apparent physical or mental etiology to account for the social withdrawal symptoms.

Under these criteria (quoted straight from the linked Wiki article), a person working from home office with no contact can also become a social recluse, even if it's certainly a different experience then what you've experienced

XDP (with AF_XDP) is effectively a superset of what DPDK does. But it's a weird argument regardless --- both XDP and DPDK are mechanisms to bypass the Linux kernel skb stack. If you're right about that stack, DPDK is poorly motivated too.

That is overstatement. The docs have basic self-contained example how to implement the notification without libraries, its 50 lines, majority of which is just error handling:

Yeah, that's a very specific error for a specific function. HN has a thing where they can manually mark accounts as throttled - my understanding its when you have a habit of replying emotionally and repeatedly to the same thread. So this, helpfully, gives you a pseudo-timeout to reflect before jumping back in, which in theory increases constructive responses, and at least prevents littering.
For my first quake in CA, I was peeing. (I'm a man and I pee standing up.) The shower doors next to me started to rattle, so I thought the people above me were jumping around. I didn't realize it was a quake! (The stream kept going where it was supposed to go.)

I came out of the bathroom and my roommate was terrified.

It was even funnier when my mom called me in a panic and I told her what happened.
I've actually seen that video!

Yeah, I think that would also have been a better timeline; I'm just stuck in the anglo-world and thus my knowledge is mostly limited to what was released in the US or Europe.

I'm not sure Apple did continue to succeed after its early success. It eventually gave up its name to NeXT, which is who found later success.
