I never really thought about it that way. killing loads of conscious beings. Until for Eid in Morocco I got the honour of helping to kill a sheep so the family could eat it. (100+ people tribe)

I am still not a vegetarian, but do have a much more realistic view on what's really on our plates now. - I don't think eating meat is bad though. I _do_ eat a lot less meat now. (smaller portions and less frequent). Predators eat prey, but they don't mass produce their prey.

For some random context: the sheep killing there - it was an old sheep, lived a blessed life loved by the community, to be eaten at an old age at Eid someday. Everyday the women in the village and maybe their kids will take the sheep to graze etc. and give them love like any farmer loves his animals. He was only scared moments before the deed was done as then they are moved to a little separate pen and likely realize it's the end for them. The families usually own only a few sheep, different ages. Occasionally when one ages out it's slaughtered. - Cows and other larger animals such as Camels are for extremely special occasions and actually rarely eaten. (once a year, or at a marriage or something special like that.)

I wish it was feasible in my country for example to do similar things, which are much more friendly to the animals involved, but it's litteraly ILLEGAL. funny how that works...

This is true in my case. I would not design a network for less than 200€/h, and no way I'd do it on weekends.

But I happily DJ on Saturday in a local club from 10PM to 4AM, help with carrying beer cases, setting up cables and equipment, for free.
This should be the goal.

Technology exists in the first place to reduce the execution of unwanted tasks by humans. Universal basic income can help here, while the economical model of the world adapts to the pace of technological advancements.
Especially since most of the debris is widely spread, and often as small as a pea.
There is the other side of this I am interested in.

The to advertisers, they’re expendable.

In the 90s, take cute little starlet or rock musician. You invested in them. You grew them. They were pets.

You couldn’t have starlet out there ruining her image, you didn’t want the story about rock star smashing the face of a bell hop to get out.

You invested in their career, their art, tours, signings, albums. You knew they had a shelf life and worked to race the clock.

But now…

They’re expendable. There are more starlets to replace this one ready to roll. They don’t need food and water and belly rubs. They’re cattle and they’ll take care themselves.

And if they don’t? If starlet does a porn with rock star… good for you, or not, who cares? Replace them if you need to. Your invest is low and maybe it works out anyhow.

They’re happy for a minute, you’re happy for a minute.

The customer through… they’re not going to get refined product. They’re not going to get a big time show but maybe see them at bar, or a release-day studio album just a couple over a year songs that were released to patreon members first and Spotify later.

Influencers are cattle to advertisers, and everyone seems to like it this way.

No, this is a feature created for memory-unsafe languages which has turned out to be yet another memory safety attack vector. But there's no way to prevent this.

And every single fancy UX JS tooling to provide those features utterly fails to do so in a way that's compatible with screen readers to be usable by people with visual impairments. Things like fly-out menus can be completely unusable by people with tremors.

ADA lawsuits against websites are massively on the rise (I worked in the early stages of WCAG compliance and helping people seek to bring such lawsuits).

You don't need all that fancy shit to deliver something that works and every time you go overboard with it you're alienating someone...

Edit: Also, wth? Every browser supports showPicker() and you can control and style the crap out of that without pulling components and frameworks into the mix. Nobody's saying don't use JS at all here. You don't need teams of engineers, components and a whole frontend build toolchain to put forms on a basic website. THAT is the complaint here. Not "caveman think JavaScript bad".

Does this actually have any real world implications? If you're using MTE you already know there's a simple attack that succeeds with 1/16th probability (or maybe greater if you reserve some tags for special purposes or have some exploitable pattern in how your allocator hands out tags). In that system this pushes the attack probability to 100%. A nice technique but (hopefully) you've already architectured things assuming MTE will be broken so this doesn't change anything.

Certainly MTE was always pushed as a debugging feature only.

I think there should be warning/attention labels for everybody, not just adolescents. I am not blatantly against social media use per se. But the way the social media nowadays are structured are to intentionally be as addictive as possible (they call it "engagement"). It will not do much, but maybe it can help in making this more visible, and facilitate more discussion/awareness on that. I am only afraid that companies would implement it similar to cookies banners, trying to make them as annoying to users as possible

It would be interesting if people share browser addons and tricked that help with making such platforms more user friendly and centered. For me, the 2 main ones:

1. unfollowing everybody in facebook apart from 3-4 groups I want to receive updates/events from (with the rest still friends/liked etc but not following them, so I have to actively go to their profiles to get updates if I want).

2. Unhook, an addon for youtube. This shit has saved me.

I think all who offer a discount if you buy a license for a whole year but pay by month. I don't see the problem with them requesting you pay the original amount for the months you used the product if you cancel before the year is out.

You entered a contract where you promised to pay for a year, and they gave you a smaller fee. You cancel the contract, so they should cancel the discount.

Show HN: Interactive intro to 4 color theorem, P vs NP, zero knowledge
This is the first iteration of a short game I’m making that tries to interactively explain some of my favorite questions / ideas in math! My goal is to get the player curious about the concepts and not necessarily to explain absolutely everything.

There were a lot of fun technical parts to building this:

- For implementation reasons, its much easier if the lines all have integer intersection points with each other. To do this, when a new line is added I “cheat” by rounding intersections to integers and then splitting the old lines at the intersection into new lines (with potentially different slopes) going through the rounded point

- I had to draw semi accurate maps of actual places (UK, South America, US west coast) in an HTML canvas using just line segments. I tried a few different solutions, including using SVG data. I ended up using the topojson library to give nice line approximations to GeoJSON data

- I use a simple backtracking algorithm to handle the live coloring of graphs

- I use turf.js’s polygonize function to handle finding polygons from line segments (very happy I didn’t have to implement this myself!)

- I wanted to make the game as mobile friendly as possible (don’t think I’ve nailed this quite yet)
Every language is both statically and dynamically typed. But the more correct way of saying this is "dynamically or statically checked". Types don't appear or disappear when a program runs. The difference is in what can be known about types and at what stage.

What programmers actually care about is this:

How can we check more and sooner in a way that requires less mental energy on the side of the programmer to write?

In other words, we have three variables we want to optimize for: how much is checked, how much is checked before execution, how much effort does it take to write the check. When people argue for "statically or dynamically typed languages", they generally don't understand what they argue for (or against), as they don't have this kind of mental model in mind (they just learned the terms w/o clear understanding of what they mean).

And so do you.

So, I don't really know what do you mean when you say "dynamically typed". Which language is that? Are you talking about Erlang? SML? What aspect of the language are you trying to describe?

NB. I don't think either C# or Java have good type systems. My particular problem with these is subtyping, which is also a problem in OCaml and derivatives s.a. Scala or F#. It's not a solution anyone wanted, it's a kludge that was added into these systems to deal with classes and objects. So, if we are going after good type systems... well, it wouldn't be in any language with objects, that's for sure.

NB2. Unix Shell has a great type system. Everything is a string. It's a pleasure to work with, and you don't even need a type checker! For its domain, it seems like a perfect compromise between the three optimization objectives.

EU Reportedly Satisfied with Apple's Plans to Open iPhone's NFC Chip to Rivals
This sounds like something that could help us become really good at photonics though. The major issue when trying to displace the good old silicon transistors is that we have invested so much in the tech and they are just so good that competing technologies with higher potential but starting at the bottom of the S curve are simply not competitive. PCIe is widely used, if it switches to photonics, despite the current shortcomings this is very encouraging for photonics.

> For starters, "making cool stuff" and "holding a steady but boring job" are not mutually exclusive

They can be, because a decent chunk of the people working steady but boring jobs don't want to "make cool stuff". They want to get money in exchange for their time, that's it. Some people have zero work-related ambitions, or zero ambitions overall, and that's totally fine.

> Perhaps more importantly, being a successful "influencer" seems to require accepting and internalizing a startling amount of personal and societal dishonesty. From buying your views/ranking to shilling products that you would never use, or are even actively harmful. (Like VPNs that are literally anything but private.)

It doesn't require those at all. Many choose those because they're "easy", but as an example, Ray William Johnson didn't make shady advertisements. He made funny videos, tried his luck as a writer/producer/director (I think this is still ongoing but haven't really kept up with him), and now only does short TikTok style videos. As far as I know, outside of a deal to get his series out on Facebook exclusively for 24h, he has no shady dealings/advertisements/etc.
The authors' hypothesis about the STLF case:

> Considering
the affected core (i.e., Cortex-A715) dispatches 5 instructions
in a cycle [ 55], it is likely that the CPU cannot detect the
dependency if the store and load instructions are executed in
the same cycle, since the store information is not yet written
to the internal buffers.

> If Len(GAP) is 4 or more, the store and load instructions are executed in the different cycles,
and the CPU can detect the dependency. Therefore, the CPU
skips the tag check and always forwards the data from the
store to load instructions.

> If Len(GAP) is less than 4, the store
and load instructions are executed in the same cycle, and
the CPU fails to detect the dependency and performs the tag
check for the load instruction. In this case, the forwarding
is blocked on tag check faults.

This would mean there's no forwarding from stores to loads within the same dispatch group on these cores?
Bridging Brazil's digital divide: How internet inequality mirrors income gaps
Sure, like most areas involving intelligence, much work is yet to be done. However, mentalese or the Language of Thought Hypothesis, occupies a much stronger position than the hypothesis that human language itself is our fundamental engine of reason, which is almost assuredly not true. This last fact has serious implications for the valuations of the majority of AI companies.

That sounds like an argument against UBI. People want the work to be done, but not enough people are able and willing to do it without significant pay? Lots of people want to make art but can't because not enough people value the product?

I haven't made up my mind about UBI, and I do think that it would be valuable to society for all persons to have room to experiment and innovate around ideas (effectively, enable society wide R&D), but I think it's an open question as to whether it is worth the costs.

I already struggle to hire anybody help with fixing the many problems with my house, and it's very inefficient for me to need to learn to become an expert in so many different fields. I quite enjoy it, and there are positive externalities, but having specialists (or just "willing hands") in areas that there is demand for is also quite important to a functioning society.

Related [1] (framed in the context of the Fermi Paradox).

I love these topics. While we might be nowhere near Kesssler Syndrome, the risks of space debris impacts are very real [2]. Some of the debris we've put up there intentionally and it's quite insane, most notably Project West Ford [3].

I believe that now anything put in space has to have a plan for how it will be decommissioned. For LEO probs, that typically means burning up in the atmosphere or, if it's large enough, crashing in Point Nemo [4]. For geostationary satellites, they're typically put in a disposal or graveyard orbit [5]. That doesn't solve the problem. It just kicks the can down the road.

People might think you can just accelerate a bit and leave Earth but that's not how orbital mechanics work. If you accelerate a bit you've just created a new orbit. You still need a lot of energy to leave Earth orbit. It's the same reason why dumping waste into the Sun (as some like to suggest) is completely unworkable. You can't just slow down a bit and fall slowly into the Sun. You just create a new orbit. It still takes a delta-V of ~30km/s to hit the Sun [6].

Fun fact: it requires less delta-V to reach Pluto then hit the Sun than it does to hit the Sun directly. Orbital mechanics are weird.

EDIT: fixed delta-V units.

EU's Chat Control puts security and privacy at risk
I learned Photoshop on pirated copies. However, as a young professional that couldn't risk any of the malarkey involved with relying on an outdated, pirated tool cracked with a program written and compiled by who knows, I needed a real license-- that's especially true because PDFs were a major vector for malware infections at that point. However, I also could not afford to spend many hundreds of dollars upfront on their products! When they introduced the CC subscription, it was a an absolute lifesaver. Especially for hobby users or professionals with low-collaboration or less involved use cases, it's easily more expensive over the life of the software. But for people that consistently need the latest features in any number of their programs, it's actually a lot better.

(And no, the open source alternatives do not work for my workflow, and they REALLY didn't back then. I might be able to squeak by with inkscape's current tools for typesetting, but having to work between that and gimp to modify type in an interactive layout would be idiotic in a professional workflow. It would be even clunkier than having to quickly develop a native GUI app a la winforms or in X-code but only being able to edit code in a word processor, and then pasting it into the IDE for syntax checking and compilation.)

Alternatively, the The Jevons Paradox:

> The Jevons paradox occurs when the effect from increased demand predominates, and the improved efficiency results in a faster rate of resource utilization.

As for this:

> Universal basic income can help here, while the economical model of the world adapts to the pace of technological advancements.

I might be pessimistic, but I don't see universal basic income being a thing in the next decade or so in any developed country. If anything, we'll probably go in the opposite direction with the looming demographic challenges (fertility rates below replacement, leading to an increase in the median age and the % of people working vs people not working, and most notably for many many countries, contributing to retirement/social security schemes).
> Nearly all current STEM advancements can be traced back to early university work because industries normally do not pay for R&D because of its high risk, low reward effort.

Yes. But not the converse.
