> I've just taken to calling SYS_clone (or SYS_clone3) directly and treating it like _fork() w.r.t. which functions are safe to call from the child.

Things get really spicy when you want to use CLONE_VFORK to get fast process spawning and pidfds at the same time[0]. I think technically any syscall through libc would be illegal after that because errno is thread-local state and the vfork child isn't allowed to touch that. Regular vfork() handles this by updating thread state.

And it's not just libc. The kernel devs are imo a bit too lax when it comes to their API specs. E.g. I recently ran into an issue around the specification of the close() syscall. Unlike write() its manpage doesn't have the "other errors may occur" caveat, and yet FUSE can cause arbitrary errors to be returned from close(), including EBADF. When I requested clarification[1] they were neither willing to call the FUSE behavior a bug nor update the docs.

The brutal ergonomics of this already seem to be approximate to my experience coding on Go microservices, CICD and cloud/Kuberbetes cluster.

I can’t run single a bit of it locally and the testing feedback loop is tied to a 45 minute CICD pipeline (with a build queue, of course).

This might be a great way to feel our pain.
Or to put it another way, I think Google should have a way of saying "yes, we know this result is wrong, but we're leaving it in because it's funny."

There is a demand for funny results. Someone asking “how many rocks should I eat” is looking for entertainment, so you might as well give it to them.

This isn’t true. Dalle and ChatGPT are assists, they don’t really replace anything and make being creative more accessible. AI also helps with tons of menial tasks like code syntax
I use both DDG and Google (via ddg shortcuts)

DDG is best for literal quick searches and Google for open ended questions or complicated queries

Never had issues with either really
something like universal basic work?
Social capital follows the same progression as regular capital. If you already have a lot of friends and acquaintances, it's easy to make more. You either get invited to things, or you can organise something and know people will come.

Loneliness is a big problem among recent immigrants. They all struggle to make friends at first, because they have no social capital to build upon. It's hard to break into established circles without being introduced by a member, and few people will show up to a stranger's party unless it's vetted by friends.

There is such a thing as being socially destitute, and the recovery can be quite difficult, especially when you have other things going on in your life.
For me the answer is 'it depends'.

Currently our home's AC is out which has resulted in two showers/day due to the heat. Post exercise is going to at least be a hot rinse.

The irony (pun semi-intended) is my wife has gotten fond of at times hanging clothes in the bathroom during a shower to help remove wrinkles. No, Ironing is better but it's a little less ceremony as well as increasing the overall utility of the water you used in the shower.
They mention the distance in the blog post.
Part of the pitch for using DDG is that you can easily query Google or Google images (!g !gi etc) or tons of other search engines or just use the regular bing search for basic stuff

It’s more of a privacy friendly search platform than a total replacement for Google

Possibly due to social stigma. I don’t know that what I’m describing can be attributed to the safety net itself, but many countries with excellent social safety programs also have a low social tolerance for failure. This is not limited to using social benefits - e.g fail in business and you’re a business failure who will struggle to get any financing ever again.
I live in Iowa, and I had a roommate who just stopped going to work one day.

I learned after talking to her that she had done this before. In talking to her, it seemed to me a mix of anxiety and depression with a focus on agoraphobia.

Her family from several hundred miles came to retrieve her when they contacted me. She asked to move back in later, but I declined. I saw her start a new career some years afterwards.

I don't know if the "laying flat/tang ping" movement in China, or the issues of the people in the article, are completely separate from this.

Orwell.ru?

Orwell: "Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come." Fair enough.
A moment earlier this post was ranked No.5 for one of my accounts but I simply cannot find it with the other account. This is strange.
> It consists of a heat pump embedded into a bathroom ceiling that blows out warm, dehumidified air onto clothes hung below. Heating the room to up to 35C (95F) to 40C, this room-sized clothes dryer can make short work of a load of washing (hung on a rail straddling the room) in about three hours.

This might be fine in cooler climates, but here in Texas, I'm using AC more often than not, and this would fight against the AC, which seems wasteful.

Point being, when something is done differently in different parts of the world, sometimes it's because a different solution works better in different circumstances.

People feeling increasingly crushed by the daily grind to keep one’s head above water is almost certainly a bigger factor. So many people are just one unfortunate event, or even worse, one paycheck away from financial ruin with little in the way of an institutional safety net (and in the case of many, even a friends/family support network) and that takes a massive toll on one’s psyche.

Speaking for myself, if all needs were guaranteed to be met I’d probably be happier living in a walkable metropolis than idyllic countryside. The part of the city that sucks isn’t the city as much as it is the rat race.
LLMs are completely deterministic even if that's kind of weird to state because they output things in terms of probabilities. But if you simply took the highest probability next word, you'd always yield the exact same output given the exact same input. Randomness is intentionally injected to make them seem less robotic through the 'temperature' parameter. Why it's not just called the rng factor is beyond me.
As an addendum, I think the main flaws with Loki is log presentation in the Grafana UI, rather than necessarily querying syntax (extracting data from log lines with regex etc/pattern matching is gross, and if you're doing that you have a bigger problem).

With the Grafana Loki UI the main issue is if you log perfect JSON / logfmt and Loki parses it, the Grafana UI can struggle a bit with rendering views of logs in the way you'd want. Kibana's columnar views with nice filtering UX is much easier to use. I think Elastic still has this over Loki (that, and the capacity to build big expensive indexes if you have the stomach to manage them).

I wrote a custom CLI for Loki to work around this, because the Loki CLI has a similar problem. All that said, I'd still recommend Loki, it's really good IME.
It's so ridiculous we can't see a history of songs played. I've been complaining about Spotify's lack of UX improvement for years.

Managing or finding playlists on mobile is a nightmare. There's no organization or folders on mobile (despite being on desktop). Searches are always sluggish, even when searching downloaded songs or playlists.
Then we will find many Fascism countries in today's world. The strong bullies the weak, that's what happens when there is no authority above the states. A jungle.

I'm coming up on 60 years old. Though I don't know anyone of my age who stayed at home after high school (I was a college-bound kid and all my friends were) I do not think my parents would have "kicked me out" at any point.

I did know some kids who got jobs and moved in with friends or got their own apartments, but never heard it was because their parents kicked them out, they just wanted to get away from their childhood and live on their own.

I just don't remember getting kicked out by your parents being a common thing. But maybe I was just never exposed to it.

So, I read your comment and realized that I think it made me misinterpret the comment you are replying to? I thereby wrote a big paragraph explaining how even as someone who cares about personal accountability within large companies, I didn't think a name made sense to assign blame here for a variety of reasons...

...but, then I realized that that isn't what is being asked for here: the comment isn't talking about the nameless "Google operators" that aren't being blamed, it is talking about the lack of anyone who wrote this post itself! There, I think I do agree: someone should sign off on a post like this, whether it is a project lead or the CEO of the entire company... it shouldn't just be "Google Cloud Customer Support".

Having articles that aren't really written by anyone frankly makes it difficult for my monkey brain to feel there are actual humans on the inside whom I can trust to care about what is going on; and, FWIW, this hasn't always been a general part of Google's culture: if this had been a screw up in the search engine a decade ago, we would have gotten a statement from Matt Cutts, and knowing that there was that specific human who cared on the inside meant a lot to some of us.

I don't understand this complaint. Are they any less verifiable than a human?

An algorithm that processes private user data is by itself not invading anyone's privacy. It's clear to me that invasion of privacy only happens when humans look at private user data directly, or look at user data that's not sufficiently processed by an algorithm.

Otherwise, something as simple as a spell checker would be an invasion of privacy because it literally looks at every word in an email you write. That's absurd.
The main technical limitation is that /24 is the smallest prefix that is widely accepted. So you can't just announce a /32 (single IPv4) at different locations.

Generally speaking, if you own the IP space, it just needs to be announced in BGP and traffic will come. You can either peer with someone yourself and get transit from them, or have them advertise it for you.

It's possible even for a private person to do it, if they have one of several workable mixes of knowledge, time, cash, contacts and technical requirements. I've done it for a while.

The main practical question really is who will peer with you and with what conditions. For example, your ISP will absolutely not do this on a consumer plan, but might on a business plan. AWS will do it for busineses as well: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-byoi...

If you want to learn more about BGP, anyone can sign up for DN42, which is a free, large, shared environment that is a small scale replica of the internet. Everyone gets to be their own AS, get some IP space allocated, establish links to other participants (usually VPN tunnels over the real internet), and do BGP peerings over them. https://dn42.eu/Home
It's very funny that Bing AI is now also telling people to eat a small rock every day, and citing pages telling people about how dumb Google AI is for telling people to eat rocks.

Ghost: Building ActivityPub, Day 2
On macOS, I’m happily using Meta for Mac (€25) to edit music metadata tags of individual files: https://www.nightbirdsevolve.com/meta/ .

I still store most of my music in iTunes (renamed to Music in later macOS versions). I’m also happy with the tag editing of iTunes, especially after installing some custom tag-editing AppleScripts from https://dougscripts.com/itunes/index.php and modifying some of those scripts.

However, I am rethinking storing all my music in iTunes given that it can’t play Opus or FLAC files (last I checked) and it makes loud glitchy sounds when it plays an MP3 file whose sample rate is 32k instead of 44.1k. I’ve already had to give up on storing all my music files in the iTunes folder now that my entire music library doesn’t fit on my laptop’s storage. Thus, I have been using Meta more.

Edit: I see another commenter also mentioned Meta and Music.app: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40471849

First, the think tank is the "Urban China Initiative" and here's the archive link of the FT article - https://archive.is/1xGV3

Secondly, McKinsey offices in each country (and even within the same country) are independent of each other, and only share the same branding.

McK's US practice is firewalled from McK's Indonesia practice, as the Partners for both are different.

In this case, McK China's managing partners (a number of whom were Canadian and American citizens but naturalized) worked with the Chinese government on this tender. And in reality, it was junior McK associates who did most of the work, and I guarantee you those associates were all Chinese nationals and Chinese educated.

India's "Make in India" and the India Century initiative from the same year was a collaboration between the Indian govt and BCG India for example (https://web-assets.bcg.com/img-src/Make-in-India-Nov-2014_tc...) and done independent of BCG US.

Edit: thanks for the downvotes. I'm not even a wumao and have been very critical of the Chinese govt on here.

First you got tech-millenarians posting on here, then wumaos and the associated China bears, and then SWEs who think they know best.

> the word "cult" ... have been diluted past all meaning

Another interpretation is that Cult has been somewhat disarmed from it's modern, weaponized usage.

Historically, Cult was as a neutralish term.

In discussing religious groups, Cult helped clarify that the group in focus was a subset of a larger group. It was also used as a catchall reference to small religions.

In the latter 20th century, Evangelical authors/lecturers (eg:Walter Martin) strongly associated Cult with evil and used it to help introduce+nurture animosity toward smaller, unliked Christian faiths.

If Cult hadn't been so loaded with sinister vibes, it might not have become the term we use to reference cloistering, manipulative groups.

I don't think you've missed anything. The news here appears to be that a unsecured public proxy is willing to proxy things and make them available to the public in an unsecured fashion.

The article does make the point that some monitored networks might trust golang proxy URLs more than arbitrary web URLs and that this could be used for bypassing reputation filters etc -- but there are already several ways to do that, and this one doesn't seem particularly special.

I think I came pretty close to ending up like this kind of person a few times. Each time I got out it was by basically taking a hammer to my superego and doing some shit I used to consider "unforgivable", like being long term unemployed, or engaging in long term substance abuse, or moving countries basically on a whim.

And, if that's what it takes, then I stand by it. If your life choices are "hikikomori" or "scumbag", you'd be an idiot to not choose scumbag.

>Usually the problem with room temperature is that the various thermal mechanical excitation and thermal radiation surrounding the qubit lead to interaction with the qubit and the information stored in it "leaks"; that is the main reason a lot of quantum hardware needs cryogenics.

This issue, as I understand it, is quantum decoherence, when quantum properties are lost as an object transitions into the behavior of classical physics.

The article describes a period of a millisecond before quantum decoherence occurs. This is (relatively) a long time, and perhaps could be exploited in part to build a quantum computer.

Not hallucinations but these AI answers often (always?) provide sources they link to. It's just that the source is a random Reddit or Quora post that's obviously just trolling.

Then, when people post these weird AI answers on Reddit and come up with more absurd jokes, the AI then picks it up again. For example in https://www.reddit.com/r/comedyheaven/comments/1cq4ieb/food_... Google AI suggested applum and bananum as a response to food names ending with "um" when someone suggested uranium, Copilot AI started copied that suggestion. It's entertaining to watch.

I'm pretty sure those "erase" tools are just for the front-end and reddit keeps the original stuff in the back-end. And surely the deal Google made was for the back-end source data, or probably the data that includes the original and the edit.

My opinion was, and after reading this remains, that fascism is a political doctrine or modus operandi, but not an ideology.

The ‘classically fascist’ regimes were simply devoted to this doctrine, in the same way classical communist regimes were dedicated to the doctrine of collectivisation.

Their similarities (nationalist, state capitalist, militaristic) perhaps naturally aligned them more with the doctrine of fascism, but this doctrine is by no means unique to any one form of government. You could have liberals, socialists, even anarchists ‘doing fascism’ without being ideologically fascist.
