> if the economy were 3*1070 times as big as today's, and could only make use of 1070 (or fewer) atoms, we'd need to be sustaining multiple economies as big as today's entire world economy per atom

What kind of argument is that? Sounds like someone had an idea and went looking for evidence to support it.

>Arguably United airlines shouldn't have chosen a product they can't test updates of, though maybe there are no good options.

I used to work with regional parks and recreation departments, and they would not approve any updates that did not go through UAW environments that we had set up. All updates had to be deployed to their UAW, thoroughly tested, before going to their production environment.

I get this this is slightly different, but I'd imagine Airlines, Banks, and Hospitals would have far more strict UAW policies to avoid a single vendor from kneecapping operations.

From the number of published articles, it seems your wife was in STEM? Engineering Ph.D.s publish a lot of papers but they contribute little to each, because there are often tens of co-authors. Not to downplay your wife's achievement, but pointing out #papers is not that informative.
That looks positively futuristic.
If I could ask independently of the sentiment of this thread - I am genuinely curious: Why is marking the difference good? (sorry this is only tangential to the article)
There are other vendors.

Microsoft could even reinstate CloudStrike at some point, but only after an extensive review process. And then probably require similar process reviews/checks for any other vendor that requires the same kernel access.

Or just remove the need for kernel access at all and migrate to a better driver architecture at the sacrifice of backwards compatibility. Security software doesn’t need to run in kernel space… there are other ways.

I suspect that "most people" even includes the guy who sprinted at 27.8 mph. The crank lengths and gearing are all wrong on a bike for an explosive sprint, preventing all the right muscles from being recruited to the job. No matter the speed and gear, your feet are constrained into spinning around the same smallish circle. And wile you can use your whole body in order to sprinting on a bike, it's not the same like when a running sprinter uses their entire body.

I wonder why most of those electric aircraft have so many small propellers. Aerodynamically, having fewer but much larger props would make more sense for efficiency, especially if they're only going 130 knots. But maybe they need the extra lift of the props blowing across almost the entire wing?

I wonder if we'll ever see an electric tilt rotor aircraft with huge variable pitch props. Should be much more efficient, but probably also much more mechanically complex...

It's also worth calling out the first diagram shows dependencies between features for Ubicloud's managed Postgres. AWS, Azure, and GCP's managed Postgres service would have a different diagram. That's because we at Ubicloud treat write-ahead logs (WAL) as a first class citizen.
> I’m never bothered because it looked like too much effort for little money.

Having a PhD or a family? Because I could see that applied to either. Money and effort are not the only metrics that matter.
I've read TFA and another one linked by TFA. I did enjoy the reads and the links but... In both articles the author seems to contradict himself, more than once.

For example:

> The affluent have decoupled social status from goods, and re-attached it to beliefs.

> it is those who have more to start with (i.e., upper-class individuals) who also strive to acquire more wealth and status.” Plainly, high-status people desire status more than anyone else.

So which one is it to achieve status: goods/wealth or beliefs?

Or this:

> It used to be high-status to hold a job and take care of your family. Not so much anymore. Those who sit at or near the apex of the social ladder (who decide what behaviors are prestigious) have decided that family stability is unimportant.

> The people with the most money and education—the class most responsible for shaping politics and culture and customs—ensure that their children are raised in stable homes.

Once again: which one is it?

Then in both articles there's the same mechanism of saying basically "it's not visibly the fault of X, but under the hood it's actually the fault of X".

I mean: how can you argue with people who consider that everything that is wrong on earth is the fault of the "rich" and that even if the rich have good values, it's their fault that the poor have bad values?

"They do A, they say A. But they think B. Hence the poor are suffering".

Another take is that intellectuals, including in universities, have been very hard at work in the west (both in the EU and the US), since decades, to push the religion of the state. And what stands between the state and the individual? Religion and family, for a start.

And in a deliciously ironic turn of events, it's the one class leftist intellectual from universities (there are no right-wing intellectuals in universities anymore) hate the most, the "rich", that managed to push back against that narrative and raise their kids perpetrating the notion that being a united family is a good thing.

I really don't buy it that the rich are oppressing the poor by showing united families. And no amount of quoting french intellectuals is going to change my mind.
Sharp as a tack.
This is about the "pit of success", being correct and predictable by default. A difference of timestamps not returning the corresponding elapsed wall-time is _very_ surprising.

I want to be able to compute durations between timestamps stored in the DB, received from API calls or retrieved from the system and get the right duration "out of the box". Computing these durations lets me apply business logic relying on it. A message can be editable for x amount of time, a token is valid for y amount of time, a sanction expires after z amount of time, etc.

For example, I want to issue some token valid for 60s. What should I set the expiry time to? `now + 60s`. Except if `now` is 2016-12-31T23:59:30Z, then most libs will return a time 61s in the future.

1 second may not be a big error, but it's still an error and depending on context it may be relevant. This is a systematic error unrelated to time sync / precision concerns, so it's pretty frustrating to see it being so common. It seems though that we won't have any new leap seconds in the near future so eventually it will just become a curiosity from the past and we'll be stuck with a constant offset between UNIX and TAI.

> I feel like that's well served by specialized libraries.

Agreed that you need a specialized lib for this, but my point is that _you shouldn't have to_ and the current situation is a failure of software engineering. Computing `t2 - t1` in a model assuming global synchronized time should not be hard. I don't mean it as a personal critique, this is not an easy problem solve since UNIX timestamps are baked almost everywhere. It's just disappointing that we still have to deal with this.
Yes. Go back and look at all the articles of this type and watch how fast they fall off the front page.
You should read the articles. OP isn't writing about politics, OP is writing about crime.
I like how Unison works for this reason. You call functions by cryptographic hash, so you have some assurance that you're calling the same function you called yesterday.

Updates would require the caller to call different functions which means putting the responsibility in the hands of the caller, where it should be, instead of on whoever has a side channel to tamper with the kernel.

You end up with the work-perfectly-or-not-at-all behavior that you're after because if the function that goes with the indicated hash is not present, you can't call it, and if it is present you can't call it in any way besides how it was intended

Depends, if you only want dns and nothing more, then probably dnsmasq. That's basically one of the most used dns/dhcp servers.

Otherwise you could use solutions like AdGuard Home or PiHole, which both have a Web Interface for configuration, and the ability to block ads and tracking domains.

Note that I don't use Tailscale myself, so I don't know if Tailscale 'needs' something else. But I use pure wireguard, and all of the services mentioned above work with 'pure wireguard'.

> I don't see how going for a PhD limits one's family life.

Only one way to find out! It limits your family/friends/sex/fun life because the work load is a lot, there are no official "work hours" (so you end up working on weekends, at nights, when others are sleeping, when others go to parties, etc.), you get paid less than people who work in industry even though your work is as difficult (if not more) than theirs (think about the ML stuff Ph.D.s do vs. engineers in companies), you still have to deal with shitty politics in the department, etc.
React has always just been the view layer. I'm not sure how hooks made the situation any worse, you're just using a hook (usually useEffect) instead of a class component method or componentDidMount.

I don't understand what it means to "pull data out of the view layer and make it a first class citizen". If you're writing a React app, you are building a UI and will need to handle data in your view layer somewhere. You either hand-off that works to a library like Tanstack Query or you manage it yourself.
Many blog posts and Stackoverflow questions about C++ cal them functors. Boost of all things uses the term in its definitions: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_60_0/doc/html/function/refe...

It's common enough that articles have been written against this usage: https://web.archive.org/web/20170224220253/http://jackieokay...

So this usage of functor may never have been "official", but it's widespread in the community.
The ideas listed in the document are about correcting distortion when the image has already been taken and you can't control the scene.

As you've got the camera in hand, you've got an even simpler option available: You can print a special pattern called a 'ChArUco board' [1] take pictures of it from a few different angles, then you can calculate the camera "intrinsics" (field of view, lens distortion parameters) and "extrinsics" (relative positions of your two cameras) based on those images.

Hello, there's a Chrome policy around extensions that change the default search engine, which the Kagi extension does.

Our additional features, e.g. the Summarizer seem to require their own separate extension for this.

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/troubleshooting/#...

Unfortunately during a routine bugfix update it appears they noticed that our extension did not meet this policy, and rejected the update. It was a surprise to us that the existing extension was then later removed. This does not appear to have been communicated.

We will refactor the extensions shortly and move past this.

I remember the IE6 Google Toolbar being a Smörgåsbord of features so this is a little curious.
Given the experiences of my white friends in China, a laid off factory worker moving to Shenzhen would have done extremely well for himself, especially back then.
Ha, I was pondering the exact same question after reading this, for this use-case and in more widespread sense. I've came to the conclusion that it's a form of outsourcing your costs. The clients want to view your charts? They pay for it with their electricity, instead of your server doing handouts for everyone.
It is by design. If the system is allowed to continue even worse things might happen. Such as data corruption.
So no hope for any one in Python, Java or a beginner to ever get a C++ job through you?
> Kagi also has the advantage of letting you customise rankings to your preferences: I've got mine set to always pin a relevant wikipedia article to the very top, and to bubble MDN pages up and w3schools pages down.

How do you do this? I don't see it in the options.
I think I would rather see this supported by paved path conversions to-and-from the specialized library. It's very hard to be all things to all people because there are irreducible trade-offs. The linked issue does a tortured tour through the trade-offs. I found it very difficult to wire in leap second support in a way that was satisfying. And even if Jiff supported leap seconds, that doesn't mean it would be well suited for scientific applications. Do you need more precision than nanoseconds? Do you need a bigger range than -9999 to 9999? If so, those come at the cost of everyone else by using bigger representations. They _could_ be opt-in crate features, but now we're talking about non-trivial additional maintenance/testing burden.

IDK, maybe there is a way to unify everything in a satisfying way, but they seem way too different to me.

To guess, I'd suggest it might be mostly due to the types of electric motor already produced and available in an appropriate weight and configuraton. Further it might be that redundancy in electric motors might be more of an issue (?) and here, I wonder if they've cracked some added efficiency with having a more consistent flow over the breadth of the wings?

There is a joke among scientists that choosing the career path will cost you your firstborn. It would be nice to quantify this but it is hard to. Anecdotally, main issue is financial stability so people with wealthy backgrounds or supportive (by time investment) families have a much easier time navigating this.

More than find people who can be duped I wonder how effective this kind of demo really is at its goal. My gut feeling is it's mildly effective for low effort fakes in the current moment and probably nearly completely useless for images generated a year from now.

This is exactly what I’d advocate for. There are many things that run in kernel space that don’t need to. The Mac model with user-land hooks is one model. EBPF from Linux (and Windows?) is another.

I’m sure the reason why Apple migrated was because of all of the bugs/crashes security companies kept introducing into the kernel with kexts. Apple had the ability to change their architecture on a whim because of they aren’t quite a beholden to backwards compatibility as Windows.

Microsoft could take this as an opportunity to make some major changes that would be more readily accepted by the market.
I was hoping that they had decided to do something about how intrusive the update mechanism itself is, but I hoped for too much.
I didn't talk about locking down, but just generally building more resilience/recovery into the OS.

Also, from the little I saw, CrowdStrike got around certifying every driver update by pushing updates through "update" files that are read and executed by the driver. That seems like a huge hack to bypass certification and likely shouldn't be allowed?
I swear I read something similar along the lines (pun intended) of this a couple years back but energy was not the Radon transformation, I forget what exactly it was. The hardest part of using this in production is that there is a lot of hand-tuned values, particularly during the edge detect portion which makes it difficult to scale. It's usually cheaper and easier to calibrate the camera at a mass scale in the factory using "old school methods.
taken a step further, you can consider that cities have very lower birth rates compared to the country side, meaning the intelligent people move to the cities, where they will produce less offspring.

This leaves the gene pool itself deserted. Spandrell controversially wrote about this, calling cities "iq shredders".
I don't see it on the front page anymore, so maybe he's right lol
Going through TAI is probably the best way for me, I'll have to play around with Jiff to see how practical that is. I'm glad if there is good support for TAI though!

One random use-case (reminded by other thread on the front-page) is that I occasionally have needed to analyze some logs, and get some stats from the data. For example having logs like "2024-07-24T14:46:53.123456Z Foo id=42 started" and "2024-07-24T14:46:54.654321Z Foo id=42 finished", and wanting to get some histogram on how long "Foo" took.

Sure, ideally you'd have some explicit metrics/tracing system or some other measurements for getting that data, but unfortunately in practice that is not always the case and I have to make do with what I have.

Or even more simple, I just want to sort bunch of events to establish a timeline. UNIX style time handling makes that difficult.

NTP adjustments can also cause problems in these sort of cases, but at least the systems I work with are usually kept in relatively tight sync so the "window of uncertainty" is much less than 1s.
