It’s interesting to note that the WiFi on the PicoMEM is based on code from yyzkevin originally from his PCMCIA project. And the PicoMEM uses PSRAM code from my PicoGUS project. And then PicoGUS uses Sound Blaster code from yyzkevin. And now I’m getting inspiration from how PicoMEM does address decoding. And so on and so on… This is a pretty cool little open source community we’ve created around the RP2040, cross-pollinating each others’ projects.
Question - looking at the code quickly, I see stuff about MWCC and Metrowerks object file format - is your tool chain in some way generating Metwowerks compatible object files? BeOS PowerPC uses the same compiler so you got me excited!
One doesn't exclude the other. You / anybody could be most welcoming to visitors and have your slaves serve them the best you had and treat them very well. Norms change, sometimes shockingly, and even within one's lifespan. Now young generations will most probably realize this when they will become out of touch and rejected by new young generation in maybe 2 decades.
There is no FUD here and the title is appropriate.

It is an interesting article titled "The JavaScript Trap" by Richard Stallman and worth reading. As one solution to this problem it mentions LibreJS in a single line only and nothing more than that.
This has been documented already. As you begin mindfulness practices you become aware of your thoughts. You then think “gosh, I didn’t have all these thoughts before” when really you did, you just weren’t aware of them.

I believe studies on this are discussed in Sam Harris’s book “Waking Up”.
It’s insecure if done by your average full stack developer, that barely passed high school math. That’s why the usual mantra. It’s waaay different when done by math experts specialized in this topic, as is the case with telegram.
I think we can agree genetically modifying plants is pretty different to genetically modifying animals to harvest their organs.

I'd also contend pet breeding is a wildly misguided practice too. Attempting to maintain breed "purity" is at the very least detrimental to their health, but even a pug mutt is clearly not an animal that should exist.
Historically every time the state gets involved it inevitably leads to substantial amounts of neglect and abuse. Rather than putting people into institutions we would be far better off making home help and care more accessible and relatively free market so that people can choose the types of care they need. We should be doing that for as long as its possible.

But in the UK today they are desperately trying to remove the meagre disability payments that people receive so the chances are more will just end up homeless as will their child carers.
Awesome, that's pretty much exactly what I had thought
Total column ozone has been dropping for a long time:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/348839525/figure/fi...

That means UV exposure outdoors is worse now than it used to be.

Unfortunately, it seems nobody measured UV at ground level before we started destroying the ozone layer, but there are barely any historical accounts of serious sunburn before ~1930. Everyone just talks of heat stroke and dehydration rather than actual burning/peeling of the skin.
You're right. It seems I am eating my words on that item, the `--no-sandbox` flag does seem to be on in most Linux installs. From context and search, it looks necessary for it to work on Debian.

Can confirm with `cat /usr/share/applications/signal-desktop.desktop`.

This still would require a pretty sophisticated attack to take advantage of, but I wouldn't rule it out as an attack surface. (We regularly see iPhone exploits that attack font and image rendering, after all.)

I suspect it hinges on "caring" - if we assume a child aged 0 to 5 needs constant supervision, that is 84 waking hours or so that need to be supervised. If that supervision is caring, then someone could easily spend 50+ hours caring for them even as they do other things.

UAE releases new AI model to compete with big tech
I use a daily diary notebook [1] with each page a todo for that day. First thing every day is reviewing the todo for that day, adding stuff that I didn't get done previously to today's or future day's todo. I try to be deliberate only adding stuff I intend to tackle today to today's list and putting the rest on future lists.

It seems to strike a balance between being flexible and letting me roll with things as they come at me, while also keeping my list of things to do at a manageable level so that I'm not distracted by stuff far in the future and not feeling like I'm not making any progress on things.

> would blow the minds

I think there are two aspects to this. I think anyone who's ever been to a food market in the history of time would conceptually understand it's possible to have a bigger market, and perhaps even a faster horse or mechanical bird to bring the items there. Commerce bringing you items from the other side of the world is millennia old. So I think it would be more of a case of "how did u mad lads actually pull this off", rather than a true mind-blown situation.

True mind-blown'ness I think comes from other examples he brings up, like GPS, and making items apparently hover a hundred miles above the earth and transmit information from above there, instantly, silently and invisibly. That's supernatural stuff, and the realm of the holy or the uncanny. You can't go back very far in time without talking about that stuff getting you accused of heresy / talking to the devil.

I can't speak about 1981 or 1983, I came to the internet ~1990. I just learned coding in 1981 and wrote some games in 1983 I guess.

Funny fact, I didn't have email - or at least didn't use it a lot outside university, cross organisations. I mostly used Usenet/NEWS to interact with people outside our university.

This was Germany ~1990 and there were no domains yet in common use. Emails used a complicated addressing scheme and it was unclear how to reach people or find emails (there was no WWW to check a website for an email). You might find them in signature of Usenet posts if at all.

"DNS system"

Same here, e.g. for FTP we used a text file with IP addresses of FTP servers (for downloading Linux and Aminet stuff)

Not sure this was specific to Germany, but the domain name system really came around with the WWW. I even wrote the code that took owning a domain in Germany (I worked at an ISP) from $1000/year (if I remember correctly, wished I had bought Schmidt.de when it was available, even with the price tag) to $1/month with email (the company was called Strato and wanted to launch cheap web+domain+email, the idea was to auto create web+email config from an Oracle database instead of manual configuring servers) for the masses.
All that comes after the planet is suitable for emergence, which is the focus of the conversation. We can reinvent the drake equation all day if we want, but yeah, definitely, those are more factors to consider.

Pure smear comment. Signal was and is the choice of personal messaging app for anyone I know who has ever worked in security or intelligence. That should say it all. Aside from apple, who did it because of them, it has set the gold standard for e2e chat. People moan about the phone number and “metadata” when in reality all this can be used for is to say yes x has a signal account and this is when they last used it. That’s it. It’s effectively useless to anyone. People moan about it leveraging the local social graph of the device it’s a necessary convenience for the adoption of any modern chat app. They go into great detail about how it is and isn’t used in a way that it cannot be used/viewed by others.
Frankly I’d bet half the people smearing it have X and Facebook apps installed on there phones and really aren’t serious people.
If I wanted to smear off topic I’d point out that telegram, along with the usual suspects, is a gold mine for intelligence gathering for what I’ve heard.
I like it. It is a perfect framework for my smart RSS reader and my image sorter where I want to do some simple things like putting up modal dialogs, implementing multiple-stage selects, combo boxes, things like that.

Ok, apparently I can now reply to this comment... Weird HN delays aside.

I don't care if the people who can decrypt Telegram chats are allied with any one side or another. I believe the idea of "Class enemy" to be abhorrent, and the moral / social threats of "the overall impact" to be negligible when compared to the fact that using compromised communications platforms will inevitably lead to greater problems than the act of calling them out.

This is the equivalent of "You'll keep quiet if you know what's good for you".

If Telegram is broken, certain people need to stop using it. The socio-political climate of the areas most likely to be using Telegram just makes this more urgent. This applies independent of if / how / why it's broken, and who, if anyone, may benefit from this.
I found The Ad to evoke feelings of crushing power and being demolished by an actual moloch.

I don’t care for the instruments, but the sheer physicality of it, the dominating, destructive awesome power does linger.

It captures Apple and all big tech beautifully: pure, raw, admittedly impressive power that will swallow everything in its path. I found it one of the more (unintentionally) honest ads in years.

Not sure if society needs such presences, but that’s another discussion.

Yes, it's a very good idea. I don't think it's lost steam, it's just buried underneath other layers of the stack.

Red Hat has Fedora CoreOS and RHEL CoreOS variants. Flatcar is going strong with the CoreOS-ethos intact. Talos Linux is also pretty popular.

The cloud providers have various minimal OSes for use underneath Kubernetes clusters but not used for standalone machines. I think Rancher OS is no more but the rest of Rancher is ongoing. VMware's various minimal OS efforts are no more.

One of the things that this highlights is how seemingly trivial design decisions are motivated by very deep concerns. The rear-wheel steering, specifically, is noted as being very problematic in terms of making the car able to maneuver.

It is not obvious to me that this is the case, just as it was not obvious to Buckminster Fuller, and it shows how much trial and error went into the design of the modern automobile. Even simple things oft taken for granted represent a huge amount of attempts to get things right and to work through the implications of alternate designs.

I used to think rock climbing was relatively easy. I mean, what's the big deal about climbing rocks while attached to a safe rope?

Then I tried it at a local amusement park, hit the peak (of a very small artificial rock), and came down with virtually zero energy for anything else. I now respect people who do it on actual rocks. I can't imagine the strength it takes.
iPad sales peaked 10 years ago and Apple never cut iPad sales forecasts by 50% like they did with the Vision Pro.

I don’t think children are raised by malicious parents (at least, in the far majority of cases). They’re just often raised by people that didn’t know what they were in for, and have no idea how to live, much less how to parent.

It’s a miracle most kids turn out ok despite that, but I’m fairly certain it’s evolved to be that way.

Gardening isn't for everyone. You are completely allowed to have your own opinions ! Although perhaps we have a gap in our language here, since you seem to be against growing vegetables/herbs exclusively rather than what I'd call gardening which includes growing all plants, flowers, etc. Having a 'nice' looking garden (or at least one where you can sit comfortably) is the outcome of that sort of gardening.

There are very few vegetables where growing them makes yourself much sense (economically). There are a few where you can 'fire and forget' basically, but even then it's a up-to few hours preparing the soil. In my climate zone, mint would be one - it's basically a weed, so it will grow and spread by itself.

Also - you can't get Basil in store where you are? In the UK and Germany it's available either as fresh leaves, or as small plants costing about probably $1-2 each.
The point is that you don't have to trust them because the client (where the relevant cryptography is performed) is open source and the fact that my links point to signal.org is completely irrelevant, those blog posts are just ways to advertise facts that are freely verifiable. You can read the source code to check the implementation of sealed senders or how the social graph is handled.

NSA can hack into Signal's infrastructure, and what they will be able to gather are the same information provided by Signal in reply to subpoenas (the whole list here https://signal.org/bigbrother/), because everything else is end-to-end encrypted.
Large enterprises can afford to take things in house and might even save money that way, not to mention the security gains. Medical offices have no choice. However small companies often don't have anyone in IT (other than the CEO who does everything and only rarely knows what he is doing other than the niche the company is in). These should be the prime market for tools like this - just pay us a little bit and we will worry about he details for you - everything is backed up. However if you can get one enterprise account that is a lot more money than thousands of little accounts and so everyone focuses on them anyway.
SimpleX is the best E2E chat app that doesn't require phone numbers (or even any account signup) that I've tried.
It can matter if you can trust them to do the proper thing, i.e. if you assume they are not a malicious entity. In this case, checking the server source code can give experts insights about possible security risks.

If you assume they are malicious, (a) I wouldn't use their product in the first point, and (b) of course they can do whatever they want independently from the published code.

The problem is with the culture, that the company does not want a "boring" product that can earn a stable amount of per year (say 100M). It only wants products that grow expotentially to billions.

Google could still keep the boring, but profitable products. Just like Microsoft does (although they bundle them).

But it seems that in google promotions are not made for boring things that work.
> it’s hard to know whether it’s possible to “cold start” the grid at all, much less timely.

This is called "black start", and it's something all grid operators plan for and regularly test.

How it works is very simple: some power plants are able to start up without the grid (they have their own emergency diesel generators, which in turn have batteries for their own start up), and these power plants can run for a while without any external load. Then it's a careful dance of powering up some high voltage circuits and substations, putting some load on them, powering up more power plants and circuits and substations, putting more load on them, and so on, until all the loads and most of the power plants are connected.

It's not a fast process, but it's also not that slow; from those I've read about or experienced, it tends to take less than a day for most of the grid to be back online (and the places which don't come back online are usually due to some local defect).

> [...] you’d need to disconnect them all at once (coordinating that between independent operators, and as I understand it isolating these giant grid-scale transformers isn’t just a question of flipping a switch). Then you need to ramp down power production in a balanced way as you ramp down places for it to go [...]

It's the opposite. Powering down can be very fast, by design: whenever there's a fault, or parameters like voltage or frequency or power go too far out of nominal, protective devices react by disconnecting whatever they're protecting, so everything on the power grid has to be designed to tolerate being instantly cut off. The worst that happens is that, without anywhere for the power to go, the protective devices on the generators quickly power them down too, and some kinds of generators are very slow to power back up (it can take a whole day for some thermal power plants).
To add to the idea that crypto is hard, it is not just hard in the same way that, say, making a physics engine is hard. It is hard because there is no telltale sign you did it wrong.

All crypto algorithms, even weak ones output what looks like random numbers that can be deciphered back into the original plaintext. Just by looking at it, there is no way to differentiate between secure and insecure crypto. Contrast to a physics engine, it is hard to get right, but at least, if you did it wrong, it tends to be obvious.

Also, like everything security-related, it is adverserial. You may have some of the smartest and most resourceful guys on the planet working to break your thing. It is worse than even critical systems. Aircraft engine control is critical, people may die if it goes wrong, so robustness and correctness are crucial, but at least, pilots won't go out of their way to break it.

>Surprising, but you can't just dismiss statistics on the basis that they're surprising to you.

Why not? While there are many falacies that people are surprised by that are mathematically true, when someone presents numbers, the more surprising the claim, the more evidence they need to present to back it. Science isn't perfect, there is the possibility of error, fraud, and the whole messy bit of scientific reporting having an abysmal record of accurately reporting what scientists say. For a surprising enough claim, without multiple verifications from independent sources, it is fine to dismiss it.

No. She sent videos of kids vaping -- presumably fully clothed and not engaging in sex at the same time, or that would probably have been mentioned -- and nothing else, to their parents and nobody else.
