Linux has lots of sandboxing features. Many Linux distros only use them minimally because the value proposition is poor: Most distros don't ship closed-source applications and in the last 30 years there have only ever been a tiny number of backdoored open source packages. OTOH, sandboxing tends to break the kind of complex workflows that users are fond of.

Another angle to point out is that some distros do bake in more protective features; consider Fedora using SELinux. Then, again, keep considering SELinux and observe how many things it breaks the moment you set a single foot off the trodden path.
Thank you for your prompt and clear response. I am circulating Convex through my company.

And I don't think China is a relevant example when discussing mortgages in my country or the US.

If the market is driven by mortgages (presuming there are not other reasons why the market is disfunctional) then someone is paying the mortgage (or the opportunity cost of investing cash).

The market price mostly depends on how much people are capable (and willing) to spend on interest payments. Somewhat different dynamics in New Zealand because to an approximation our mortgages are all variable so we see house prices shift over a couple of years as interest rate changes (plus our interest rates are often higher than US rates). US 30 year mortgages at a fixed rate mean market prices drop more slowly, but I'm guessing can still rise quickly. Interest rates went up in NZ and two years later property prices are down 10% currently I think (plus sentiment still really matters too).

You can still fiddle with terms and a bunch of other free variables, but interest payments are one of the most significant variables.

We had an earthquake in my city and uninsurable houses could not get mortgages and the price to buy one of those houses dropped drastically. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

I agree with you so much that I already previously mentioned that ("rent or AirBnB rooms") in the comment you are replying to!
Personally I found SJC to be more convenient than both SFO or OAK. But I guess it's always limited by which flights are available at each airport.
Won't traditional rockets become more cost effective over time? The main KPI for most agencies is cost per ton to orbit, and given that is is targeting lightweight operations, it's increasingly more niche.

Though it's good to focus some % of our attention on alternatives, and I'd feel more comfortable going to space on a balloon instead of a rocket.
One of my first experience with open source was an old OSX app that put the Swatch time into the menubar. But it didn't work on my Mac for some reason so I downloaded the source code and Xcode then I was tinkering around (not sure I knew what I was doing) and managed to compile it and run it successfully.

I think I still have the source code somewhere even though the original Github repo is gone. I might reupload it.
Kinda reads like one, but if he was on GCP and used their ddos shield then it'd read like an ad for their service instead. Would be better if he'd been a bit more abstract and said cloud provider instead of naming AWS.
> bwrap, flatpack, containers... were really talking about software distribution. I dont think any of these solutions "solve" the problem, we're just putting all the bullshit in one bag, not getting rid of it.

I agree, personally I prefer flatpaks more often then not because they "just work" for most programs I use (that aren't on the terminal) but Its far from an elegant solution, still, I do generally like a lot of the work their doing like the various xdg-desktop-portal permissions that are standardising a lot of common "desktop" interactions
The mere mention (as a joke?) that it'd be impossible, or something close to impossible, is silly given that DNS servers exist.

> and to give consumers new privacy rights

I either have rights or I don't. These are not things "given" to us. You just updated the legislation to enforce those who would encroach on them. Also it means you were incredibly late to good jurisprudence so it's odd to take a victory lap on it.

Perhaps committee chairs should be selected by the population.
All of this is very tricky stuff, I would just call it shades of grey and leave it at that, no black and white.
Similar lore happened in the DC metro, everything was fine until it got to be XX years old and then they jacked up the prices and starting shutting things down all the time -- because the infrastucture was all getting dangerously old (subway fires and such) and so they had to quasi-build-new infrastucture, so that got a guy that basically said "we're gonna fix it and it will be painful but we will still fix it"
for example - https://thehill.com/policy/transportation/291651-dc-metro-ex...

The crux of it is, it's generally easy to maintain a pretty new system than an aging one (bathtub curve type scenario like in the hard drives). As such we see China sitting real pretty presently but say 50 years from now it will inevitably be a different tune.

Now in the case of NYC I wouldn't be surprised if some of that had to do with crumbling, very very old infrastructure, and I wouldn't deny either by the same token it had to do with macro-economic factors as well, all shades of grey. First 60 years of operation NYC probably had a lot of "brand new" stuff at any given time.
This all falls under "it is possible to kill yourself by stupidity", with nothing specific to powering appliances from a battery/inverter. People who take the initiative to set up such a system self-select for attention to detail. It is a lot easier to use the wrong cord with no battery system than with.

I’ve settled on Spark. It’s far from perfect, and I regularly look for alternatives, but they’re all…even further from perfect.

Spark just released what I understand to be a complete rewrite. It’s completely and utterly not for me. I tried so hard to give it a shot, believing that it was just lack of familiarly. I’ve resolved that, no, it’s genuinely a half-baked, dumbed-down rewrite that very unfortunately leans quite heavily into all the AI email writing crap. Thankfully the previous version is still actively available and seems to receive updates.
I think you underestimate how many people hate interacting with computers.
Not really wanting to comment on the use of this program (it's useful), but just from the quality of the code, it's very good!

Well, your relatives are probably right depending on how a "family" is defined.

Are we talking about children per household, do multi-generational families count? Then they're definitely more right than not.

Or are you all fumbling your way towards discussing the "birth rate", which is how it's usually discussed. That may or may not be the same as "kids per family".

Frances I think was worried about his legacy disappearing with DSM-5, because there was a big push to change things in a major way compared to DSM-IV. Ultimately I don't think that really happened; DSM-5 was a change but not the radical change I think the chairs and primary committees wanted it to be.

Frances' flooding of media outlets around that time was sort of strange in certain ways. He seemed to correctly identify potential problems in the mental healthcare system but then had this idea that changing things in the DSM to address some of its issues would make everything worse. It felt as if he was co-opting concerns everyone was having to argue for not changing anything at all, and in the process turned everything on its head.

The DSM is a very political document with a lot of interest groups involved at all levels, which is why it didn't change even more than it did. As a result, you had NIMH circumvent the whole process with RDoC, which then in turn seems to have had a relatively short life (maybe?) associated with changeover in its own administration.

It feels as if everyone has their own schema for thinking about mental illness, and the whole field moves along without any serious consequences. There's probably a lot of reasons for this, including scientific and medical sociology, and the complexity of mental wellness and illness as a domain. But it makes me wonder if some of the distinctions that are argued to be critical are really that critical in the end.
> If you understand the systems that manifest a mental illness then you can treat it more directly with medicine, you can test for the mental illness directly with physical sampling. We've already seen this shift from psychology to medicine with the invention of anti-depressants.

Except they only work in 30% the cases, regardless whether the patient has strong indication for depression and it's noted throughout literature that treatment with medication should go hand in hand with psychological counseling, because it increases recovery rate and leads to the patient not relying on medication anymore.
They're also massively overprescribed, have as of yet unexplainable side effects in a significant part of the population and there is surprisingly little information on how they achieve their intended effect.

I think you're also misrepresenting why people don't seek counseling: It's because it's far from readily available.

The arguments you provide are really one sided and it feels like you're intentionally leaving out information to justify your position.
Nah, that doesn't really work any more and it isn't really worth the cycles to try. Also, there are no legal issues with "Purl".
The princely sum of $5,000. We got that at my employer back in 2016. We got hit by a ddos, and decided to ignore it, though we did dig up some BTC just in case. We enacted a bunch of DDoS protection as a result, costing way more than $5,000, but not paying money to extortionists is worth every penny.

Yes, though this strikes me as competing with space stations more than launch vehicles. (It would be a convenient way to e.g. quickly get a space station around Mars.)

First, you would have a very determined adversary versus the very best of Homeland Security aka completely incompetent fools (in reality it would be outsourced to the very best lowest bidder).

Second, what are you gonna do when you find a violation, fine them? If you can even prove it, we know how well that works.

Third, no matter how you bend the algorithm, I can make it bend further to do what I want.

Finally, China will just keep swallowing whatever penalty in order to keep feeding propaganda.

All you are doing is postponing the inevitable shutdown. You might as well get it over with now.
I’m bullish on RAG since you’ll always need a way to work with new information without retraining or fine tuning an LLM. Even as humans we essentially do RAG with google
The link you included is not to deaths per mile traveled, it's to miles traveled.

Even if deaths are relatively flat, they should be going down as older, less safe cars age out of the fleet of vehicles on the road. As time goes on, a greater percentage of vehicles have better crash safety, ABS, traction control, better airbag systems, and 'driver assistance' aids.

Make sure any stats you do cite include pedestrian and cyclist injuries, but note that exposure data for them is exceptionally poor, because they are typically not included in traffic survey data collected by contractors hired by the government to do traffic counts.

Overall pedestrian and cyclist deaths have shot up, by the way, and are the highest ever.

> You can get substantially better performance out of sqlite by using the lower level https://github.com/crawshaw/sqlite, turning on WAL etc, using a connection per goroutine for reads, and sending batches of writes over a buffered channel / queue to a dedicated writer thread. That way you can turn off SQLite’s built in per-connection mutex but still be thread safe since each connection is only used on a single thread at a time.

Would this protect against a row update in the middle of a read? e.g. would a row at least be internally consistent at the time it was read?
Yep, we've always had our own implementation of std::shared_ptr<> for this reason.

Either the reference is elsewhere (and now you have to dereference another area of memory occasionally which is the worst case for cache performance), or its alongside your object. If its alongside your object it's better to know it's there for padding, etc.

And it's easy to forget to allocate for the alongside case, so you can have hidden poor performance.
It also comes with a message explaining the exact act of selling the modifications is explicitly covered under said law rather than some assumed problem with generic copyright law or thing that might be easily defendable against. It could be declared as being against part of the "chips and cheese law" and the lack of personally being able to tie the title of the law to how it's related would still leave that extra context beyond what the title gives.

Concluding there must be no possibility to see new information to see out of something in the face of others doing just that is not something others can help you with. Either you're interested in extracting the extra information on your own or you won't accept someone telling you it's there. Either way: yes, it's still really additional perspective to most others regardless of you see how.
Probably the most memorable scene and not a spoiler:

This project seems wildly unscaleable − how much money and carbon emissions go into growing one piece of coral under this setup?

A government or philanthropist somewhere is throwing cash at corals, trying to keep them alive, without fixing the root cause of why they're dying in the first place.

I'm guessing this "solution" could even be net negative for world coral populations.
(1) Instructor credibility - could be "fame," but could also be youtube videos where s/he appears to be a very good teacher.

(2) Opportunity for good in-person networking with industry professionals. This is what sets an in-person event apart from online learning.

(3) The opportunity to "finish a project" using the new tech, perhaps earn a cert, perhaps through free one-month membership into some expensive platform.

I attended a recent half-day tech course on a FAANG campus recently. Much of our time was spent creating various online accounts and doing other setup and configuration, which could easily have been done as "pre-work" at home. Other than the pizza, it was a sub-optimal day.
I don't think so. Token windows are always increasing and new architectures (Le Cunn is proposing some interesting stuff with world models) might make it cheaper to add knowledge to the model itself. I think it's more of a necessity of our current state of the art than something that I'd bet on.
Gattaca, because so many people limit themselves by what they think is possible.

Rights are a social construct. It's fair to describe their delineation as creation. (Natural rights don't really work without a deity bestowing and defending them, despite our collective furious attempts to pretend otherwise [1].)

IMHO you left out one very important sentence just before the part you've quoted:

"A full AMOC collapse would be a massive, planetary-scale disaster. We really want to prevent this from happening."

And uncertainty here is not if it will ever happen - we know it will eventually, if the temperature continues to rise - part we're unsure of is only whether it will happen before 2100, or later.

Which makes the following part of the text a real conclusion for me:

"For the AMOC and other climate tipping points, the only action we can take to minimize the risk is to phase out fossil fuel use and stop deforestation as fast as possible. If we can reach zero emissions, further global warming will stop within years, and the sooner this happens the smaller the risk of passing devastating tipping points. It would also minimize many other losses, damages, and human suffering from “regular” global warming impacts (e.g., heatwaves, floods, droughts, harvest failures, wildfires, sea level rise), which are already happening all around us even without the passing of major climate tipping points."
When was the last time you heard of anyone murdering someone with a sea cucumber? People obviously use VPNs all the time for region bypass, and have for years, so if anyone had an issue with it it surely would have had some relevant legal proceedings.

Laws only mean what courts say they mean. Besides that, I have simply never heard any argument of region bypass being illegal or otherwise illicit, and you haven't provided any evidence to the contrary.

Yeah, that part kind of grinds my gears a little bit. Aside from the politics getting involved, the biggest agitator is the rival bidder.

But part of their revised bid before Nippon included a breakup fee in case their bid got blocked on anti-trust grounds.
Which, on the one hand, while I will say I probably disagree with a lot of anti-trust policy enforcement currently, the implicit notion that the rival American acquisition is better is imo kinda laughable.
