This is the wiki. I haven't kept up, but this isn't a kernel module.

"eBPF is a technology that can run programs in a privileged context such as the operating system kernel. It is the successor to the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF, with the "e" originally meaning "extended") filtering mechanism in Linux and is also used in non-networking parts of the Linux kernel as well."

I remember reading an article about that, how Jimmy Wales was driving super expensive sportscars around and such - it made me pretty much resolve to never donate to them. Ever.

Not withstanding the super aggressive please for cash every September or whenever they do it.
They aren't over windows. They continue to be incredibly interested in and actively developing how much money they can suck from their users. Especially via various forms of ads.

But yeah, kernel features are few and far between.
If many things had gone differently, this could have been avoided. But I’m looking at this from the Microsoft perspective. No matter how much people scream high and loud that it was a CloudStrike issue and not Microsoft’s fault, Microsoft is still getting blamed. It’s a Windows BSOD.

I talked to my dad (retired enterprise operations/IT) this weekend and he was telling me that the next computer he buys will probably be a Mac, largely because he doesn’t want to deal with the possibility of a crash like this. Does he run CloudStrike? Not at all. Does he know who they are? Nope. (He’s been retired for a while) What he does know (well, thinks) is that Windows now has an unstable kernel.

And Microsoft has no control over distribution policies for other vendors. How those vendors distribute updates is up to them. Even if a sane deployment strategy could have avoided the larger global problems, Microsoft can’t control that.

So, if you have Microsoft dealing with negative publicity and public sentiment, with no way to control errors like this in the future, what can you do? To me, the best they can do is kneecap CloudStrike, put the full blame on them, and use this as an excuse to change the kernel/driver model to one where they can have more control over the stability of the OS.
This sets a precedent going forward that will impact Booking.com and many other services that do the same thing.

I would imagine that it is also a nice foundation for cases against AI training data scraped from sites.
If the verifier allowed a Turing-complete language, it would solve the halting probem, which is impossible.

Dear Throwaway :)

It's evident that someone in this thread is employing stylometry to profile users, likely to uncover user identities, all the while concealing their true identity. The comments' content, which tackles recent events and complex political strategies, is clearly written by individuals with a deep understanding of the subject matter.

Doxing, or attempting to dox, is a toxic behavior that should be strictly against HN rules. It's essential we maintain a safe and respectful environment for open discussion. Instead of indulging in digital detective work, let's focus on the topic at hand and avoid perpetuating a culture of surveillance.
You might want to get diagnosed so you can get a proper ADHD prescription. I'm told Vyvanse is like a smooth day-long caffeine high without the jitters or stained teeth. OTOH, if caffeine is working for you, it sounds like it's performing the same function ADHD medication does for my loved one.
10/10 easy, the AI images look too smooth.
I know, and that’s a major selling point for D in my book; iirc it’s what led me to explore D in the first place. Hardly any languages have good C++ interoperability. I was following Calypso with great interest for a while, but sadly it looks like the author lost momentum, so it never got exception handling for MSVC.

What I need to work reliably from C++ are 1. instantiation of imported templates, ideally including CRTP, and 2. handling in D of exceptions thrown from C++, because if I use a C++ library that throws, I need to be able to handle the exception.

So far I’ve found languages that can import template classes and functions from C++ (usually by extending LLVM/Clang), but no languages that have good, reliable cross-platform C++ exception handling.
This article is riddles with biased language and seems generally unscientific. This undermines the premise being highly specific.

Well, the flip side of it was that in benchmarking our equivalent codebases for Unicode segmentation, my code was significantly faster, to both of our surprises as it turned out.

Even here it's pretty hard to blame them due to antitrust concerns. Just google the word Patchguard.
The blog post says:

I tried to Google about this, but I cannot find anything definitive. It looks like you can still break things. Can an expert on eBPF please comment on this claim? This is the best that I could find: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70403212/why-is-ebpf-sai...

Yes, I am not arguing against having the ability to deal with it quickly - I am saying canary/ staging helps you do exactly that. Because as we see in the case of Intel CPUs and Crowdstrike some problems or scale of some problems is best prevented.
superkuh is right, and this is the most misunderstood concept as it relates to general liberty.

Isn’t it tied to CAP_BPF on every distro since the 5.8 kernel?

If you know the answer why are you asking the question?
Yes, this is the key point:

"Changing the license on the data doesn’t retroactively revoke that permission, and the primary impact is on later-arriving actors, who are typically either smaller start-ups or researchers."

And also this:

"Mr. Longpre said that one of the big takeaways from the study is that we need new tools to give website owners more precise ways to control the use of their data."

This will happen once everything is looted/not needed anymore.
I've never read about this topic but the comment above interested me in trying to find any references related to the claim it's making. So far, [1] is the most interesting one. While it doesn't precisely line up with what is claimed above, it does say that a more "paternalistic" parenting style is causal for the child's later political beliefs.

I work in astronomy, on detection of asteroids. Catalogs of historical asteroid detections may be reported in UTC from some observatories for historical reasons.

Finding a trajectory that matches several candidate detections is called “linking” and it is very sensitive to time. Being off by even one second will result in a predicted position which is far off course, and so a candidate asteroid detection will not be linked.

Linking is not quite sensitive enough to demand a relativistic time scale, but definitely sensitive enough to require correct leap seconds.

I'd love to read the full text of the judgement, as the news articles and press releases are vague as to how the ruling was reached.

My assumption is that the issue was not about automation/scraping, but rather, the way in which booking.com engaged in scraping amounted to some kind of fraud.
Do you know if that’s a consequence of Ohio law, or your insurance provider?
eBPF is not Turing-complete, I suppose.
> Getting rid of institutional ownership would increase rental prices substantially, and that's bad for the poor and for the mobile.

Extremes are unhelpful, we must find balance. Institutional ownership restrictions reduces monopoly pricing power, and rent controls de-risk against rents rising faster than wages. Outright outlawing of institutional ownership is not a solution, but allowing it to operate in a highly regulated fashion (where there are still some, but more reasonable, returns and mobility is enabled for mobile consumers of this service). If the argument is continue increasing supply vs rent price controls, well, it is clear that isn't happening in the short term.

TLDR Housing needs to be pushed more towards being a regulated utility, vs a free for all. If we regulate electricity like a utility, why not housing?

It's all just one big ponzi scheme. Albeit a legal one.
TBH I consider the C++ `std::chrono` as the worse possible design.
`tai_clock::now` does not actually take into account leap seconds. Unless it does, who knows ("Implementations may use a more accurate value of TAI time.").
Likewise, `tai_clock::from_utc/to_utc` does not correct for leap second. It just translates the UTC epoch to the TAI 1958 epoch.

I found Hifitime to be very opinionated and give a false sense of security due to its automatic computation of leap seconds based on historical tables. Yes, leap seconds are announced some ~6 month in advance, but what if you don't update regularly the library? Or if you can't because it is deployed on an embedded system?

In the end I wrote my own minimalistic TAI timestamp library [1] and made the conscious decision to let the user take the responsibility to deal with leap seconds in UTC conversion.

As a German, I won't say "doesn't exist" because it's possible of course. At best, people would think it some term from legalese.

The opposite thing though, "really roughly approximately (and couldn't care less how precise)" (you get what I mean) is often colloquially used in German, under the term "Pi times Thumb" (Pi mal Daumen).

So yes you can say "250tsd anno 1988 sind pi mal daumen 600tsd heutzutage".
I assert that there is no good evidence that it is true and that in lieu of good evidence it’s a limiting perspective to propagate.

I know how the real world works and am not fooled by the bread and circus—of course I am! :) And how often do I reveal that in real life? Very rarely because I don’t have any sympaticos in my life right now. But how many people do I know who are like me? And to how many people do I look like an unconscious NPC on this issue?

It’s a limiting perspective because you stay stuck in the mode of bickering among yourselves about who has seen the light and who hasn’t. Instead of the more useful perspective: that a non-insignificant people already know or that if they don’t then it won’t take much to convince them (X years of brainwashing does not take X years to undo).
>Ryanair is against free market. They want to have monopoly, to raise prices.

This is the goal of almost every business and that isn't against the free market it is the free market and the precise reason we have regulators to ensure competition.
> When we (humans using Hindu-Arabic numerals) represent numbers, we write the most significant value first, and continue in descending order.

Funny trivia: while the Arabs wrote the numbers exactly as we do, they actually wrote them in the opposite order, the least significant digit first, and continued in ascending order, because Arabic script is actually written right-to-left. We the Europeans borrowed the notation as it looked when finished being written, so it had the unfortunate side effect of switching to the unnatural big-endian order.
I think anyone in the industry would agree that at some point, the increase in exposed surface area provided by the addition of features (and the complexity to support them) has indeed decreased security at least once in the history of software. My statement doesn't say that it always leads to reduced security.

I would, however, posit that it's pretty darn close to "always."
That's close but not quite. In older times, this economic profit is an accumulation of wealth, instead of having the apples just pay for the daily laborer's calories, it means, maybe they can take a few apples home to make apple sauce and that the farm owner can sell the extras in a market. You paid for the maintenance (ie. workers not starving, replacing machinery, ) and you had some left. Land is a whole other problem. The Wealth of Nations has a pretty good description of the interactions between labor, landowners, capital.

The recent problems is the disconnect between money and actual food/materials/energy production.

If your grandfather lived in a 100kw village with a 100 dollars circulating, and made 1 dollar, it is reasonable to think he could buy 1kW for his family.

If we live in a 100kw village (because no, we should reduce energy production) with 100,000 dollars circulating and you make 500, you can buy 500w.

Now do it for turkeys, or steel, or etc... Degrowth is impoverishment in most cases. Things haven't gotten much more productive, and we are more people
A close relation of mine worked in a very, very high-up position in the Department of Agriculture. He has been farming-adjacent for his entire career, and years before he joined DoA he explained to me how meatpacking and butchery has slowly been taken over by a central set of massive corporate conglomerates who destroyed competition in the beef industry by pricing then out.

All of these major central corporations are completely dependent on illegal labor, and if they hadn't been able to pay lower wages, their takeovers couldn't have occurred at the speed or scale they did. My relation talked about this issue in the DoA and many senior officials pushed back and said that since addressing this issue of illegal labor in the beef industry would cause a rise in beef prices, threatening the availability of the migrant labor base is a no-go. (Biden admin, not that it matters--I'm sure the answer would have been the same under any admin through at least GWB).

That's where we are now, in US agriculture, residential construction, etc.. Prices must be kept low, and therefore the stream of low-skill desperate labor must not be turned off. Massive companies enjoy enduring near-monopolies because no one is willing to threaten the comfort of the American consumer.

Looks nice, but many of the components in the demo have issues. I'm on Chrome and Safari on MacOS 14.5.

- modals don't open
- navbar demo, z-index is broken
- popovers don't work
- cannot tell what scrollspy does, i think because it isn't working. nothing happens.

Anyway, I've been looking for something like this and would have even paid for it, but with so many components not working unfortunately I have to pass.

Also, I just found https://franken-ui.dev/ which was posted here a week or so ago but it's for Tailwind instead. Still, easy to get up and running with a few CDN links.
The nice thing is that you would have a static table of leap seconds, and would not need to poll a URL to check for new leap second data (as Astropy does, for example, on import!).

Maybe but if $RANDOM_VENDOR isn't willing/able to help, I don't really expect Expedia to. That said, I do use an agent to arrange self-guided walking trips and things like that and they seem to be a useful resource rather than planning and booking the whole thing myself, in part, because a lot of local knowledge can be involved. But that's different from booking 5 nights in some European city.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am also able to work without medications but doing it for a long period makes me miserable:) Glad to hear that it is possible with some right habits. I also didn't want to be dismissive about this game or coping mechanisms, sorry if I worded it like that. Even seemingly small changes can bring great improvements. There is a stigma around stimulants and I just wanted to highlight their benefits for people who are doubtful about them.

Increasingly we are programming in distributed systems. One milli or nano on one node is not a milli or nano on another node, and that is physics that is more inviolable.

Assuming you’re asking in good faith:

1) Ephemeralization [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemeralization] is when we arrange a given set of atoms in increasingly useful ways, letting us get the same thing done with less.

A trivial example is information distribution. Another one is how we turned sand into thinking machines. Myriad more examples exist.

2) We have vastly more resources than people think. Our deepest mines are ~5km. There’s a hell of a lot of planet below that, with increasing % valuable metals. There’s enough room on the planet - you can give everyone on earth a big house with a yard and we’ll all fit into a single Canadian province, or into Texas. We can generate 100% of our power needs with solar, nuclear, and batteries. And as we get richer, there are more and more people with the time and ability to make greener choices.

Our systems are proving to be flexible - look at the price of solar + battery over time; look at the deluge of funding for nuclear research. People are working on bio jet fuel. Other people are working on carbon capture tech and geo-engineering ideas for the worst case scenario.

3). We’re not stuck down here. There’s a whole universe out there. A tiny but growing % of our economy happens off-planet. A private company recently landed on the moon. SpaceX is dramatically lowering launch costs. In a few decades, we’ll be mining materials up there and manufacturing goods in space.

Well what's stopping you? According to the book The Most Fun I Never Want To Have Again: A Mid-Life Crisis in Community Banking, it is not that hard to get a bank off the ground. I would have expected that it would take millions, but it was less than that. Basically, you have to put in about $100k and find some other people to also do that. Next, you go with some official documents to the government and ask for permission to commence business.

Should be possible for anyone in about 2-10 years if you *really* want it.

It solves the halting problem by not being Turing complete. I presume each eBPF runs in a context with bounded memory, requested up front, for one thing; it also disallows jumps unless you can prove the code still halts.
My point is that the verifier could be relaxed to accept programs that never halt, thus not needing to solve the halting problem. You could then have the kernel just kill it after running over a certain maximum amount of time.

in my experience, not very addictive at all. But at the same time, I didn't have easy access to it, and I was already heavily addicted to amphetamines at the time, so maybe my experience isn't typical. But I was able to do some, wait a few days, do some more, etc. With amphetamines, If I had them, I was taking em all day every day.

Also when you do the math on what a coke habit costs to maintain, its mind boggling. I think that in and of its self prevents a lot of would-be coke heads from establishing a habit.
Okay, "serf" was the wrong word, since they are indeed not bound to parcels of land under a feudal government.

What do you think about the content of my point?
Apple took the lead on this front. It has closed easy access to the kernel by apps, and made a list of APIs to try and replace the lost functionality. Anyone maintaining a kernel module on macOS is stuck in the past.

Of course, the target area of macOS is much smaller than Windows, but it is absolutely possible to kick all code, malware and parasitic security services alike, from accessing the kernel.

The safest kernel is the one that cannot be touched at runtime.
