It’s kind of a class problem, because they target the checks towards the cheapest means of traveling (i.e. most likely to carry illegal refugees). If you fly or take an expensive ferry there are practically never any checks.

Therefore people who can afford more expensive means of transportation don’t see the border checks as much.
Americans should definitely get (and take) more vacations.
There's a diagram on this page?

Holy shit there is. When my dark theme is enabled, the diagram is black on black. Amazing. (all that's visible is the emoji!)
In GC languages, RCU is just atomic pointer update with immutable data structure. In a language without GC, it requires delayed destruction to avoid memory safety issues.

Linux kernel's RCU waits for all CPU cores to context switch and disables preemption when reading RCU data structure. This is not usable in normal application programming.

I do NOT miss that point. The point is, new protocol should not be very different from previous one, unless its really necessary. After all those years and R&D put into IPv4 to make it better, we ended up with decent protocol. The only flaw is too small address space. With current IPv6, you have to throw up half of the stuff you know about IPv4 for, imo, no valid reason.

And I will tell it again to be clear. Im not fan of some IPv4+ contraption ideas like lets extend IPv4 address space and try to keep it IPv4. Thats DUMB. Make new protocol, improve things that were bad in IPv4 (are they any?) and try to make it one way interop to IPv4 (IPv6 -> IPv4) and we are done.

Remember that you are building protocol for entire planet. It have to be relativly simple and easy to implement. Any extras should be layer up.
The whole IoT crap annoys me a lot. This stuff should NEVER ever be connected directly to internet. It creates huge security mess. There should be IoT GW to handle IP <-> (whatever IoT proto) and provide security.
Nitpicky, because I get what you mean, but "self reflection will reduce stress and fear" is by no means always true and I'd argue it's probably not really true for most people in practice. Epictetus said (paraphrasing!) that people are rubbish at self-reflection and you need to practice it to be good at it, like anything else. Lots of people approach it in terrible ways and it leads to really bad outcomes - giving up immediately, doom loops, too much self-criticism - so it really does need to be done (to use a more modern reference) mindfully.
My kid usually wants to know how I make decisions and never settles for a single "no" or "because I said so". I can tell them "because I want you to find some other stuff to play with", which might result in complaining for a while. Saying "not hard" is definitely not true in many cases. It's doable, but it's still hard.
My IT school changed since I was there. Talking to my old director he told me about the power of the environment. The premise is that we had a smaller school before, and it was not optimally planned, (student's cables running around, trash not exactly at disposal nearby, etc...)

It seems obvious there is a direct link between environment and behavior, but what he started doing was like "programming the environment" in order to trigger behavior changes.

Why would we litter if the trashcan is nearby ? Why would we go out of our way with cables if power-socket is on every table ?

The same way I wonder if we cannot "program" the environment for kids, in a way that allows us to let them get bored out, but in such a situation that is not dangerous but also productively interesting for the kids.

It is not the same to get bored out outside nearby a train track or in the industrial area, than in a somewhat controlled area ?

What do we want to expose them to ? We already know it might want to try crazy stuff ; but I guess we can reduce the danger factors and increase area for more interesting activities ? Also, this is all linked to age and I'm not sure we can make generic rules.

Growing up in a farm is much different than growing up in the streets, and ultimately, my parents and I think a lot of parents, decide to live where kids are safe to grow with somewhat nice activities and people around them.

(Note that I also met a couple that completely cut themselves from the world and they really had to come back to society when the kid came to age, just because a kid requires social interactions with people it's age)
> roads are first-class, then sidewalks, bus stops, cycle "lanes", etc, are an afterthought that must bend to the car traffic space, if they exist at all

I agree, and it's not right. Perhaps see some of my other points to see that we're not disagreeing with each other, I just phrased my initial point poorly due to misunderstanding of the term "war on drivers", which I don't be using again.

> Look I don't want to "defund roads", I'd already be happy if a tiny fraction of the money and attention that goes to driving would be devoted to other forms of transport.

I have no problem with "defund roads" as such, but I'd like to see something suitable and workable in their place before that.

I don't think ploughing on with unfair costs, ICE bans and electrification in spite of it all, is the solution; we'll just be left with more expensive, less productive ways to get around that cause more damage in other ways (EVs are terrifying as a pedestrian or cyclist), the potential for lithium fires, more devastating crashes, battery lifetimes, etc, and most half decent EVs are priced in the "luxury" vehicle category.

My one minor ask, if I could have one thing _now_? Update legislation to make privately owning and using e-scooters a thing on the roads.
Yes, however in an SMT enabled processor, there are one physical FPU per two logical cores. FPU is already busy with other thread's work, so the threads in that SMT enabled core take turns for their computation in the FPU, creating a bottleneck here.

As a result, you don't get any speed boost at best case, or lose some time in the worst case.

Since SMT doesn't magically increase the number of FPUs available in a processor, if what you're doing is math heavy, SMT just doesn't help. Same is true for scientific simulation, too. I observed the same effect, and verified that indeed saturating the FPU with a thread makes SMT moot.
If you are in the market to sell EDR tools and you can’t find a way to provide value beyond what XProtect offers, you probably shouldn’t be in the market.
Depends on country. In Holland the fee is substantial and yearly (60€ I believe).

In most other EU countries it's once off but the Dutch government wants money for everything.
I'd go one step farther and say all of humanity's problems stem from humanity existing and needing resources to exist.
You must have some pretty important work to do with this level of procrastination ongoing.
Of course not but they should still be protected when they seek permission to do so. Perhaps more countries need to enact symmetrical immigration rules where US citizens are subject to the same bs that the US subjects their citizens to. Then again, US citizens seem to be unbothered by the five eyes arrangement where the US cannot spy on their own citizens but they can politely ask their allies to do so so maybe this wouldn't get them to see the problem. Still would be fair though.
Even if judges don't suffer punishment for bad performance, they do suffer personal discomfort from poor meal planning. Most judges most days will be following their usual eating routine which will have them feeling fine before lunch. People become notably irritable when they miss a meal, not before meals when they're eating normally.
This made me giggle.

And after the exec, if they asked me to parse a Python expression, I'd type "eval(expr)".
Was my implication of "every 5 years" not clear? But I already mentioned those links, they're pretty weak. I'm not calling an update that for a few people makes a handful of games crash "botched", when the original implication was quite juicy botching.

Also, if we're actually getting into this, the XP gripe had nothing to do with updates. That's moving the goalposts half a mile in the other direction.
Yeah even if you move to another country you don't have to do the test again. You can just transfer your license.

Also a question on the ESTA application.
The header length is 44 bytes.

1 second of 16-bit signed PCM is 88244 bytes at 44Khz.

44 / 88244 * 100 = 0.049

So it's extremely short, but on the default 16-bit PCM encoding it's an annoying click.

Not sure if the author workflow allows to save/export the raw data.
I find it interesting how history can sometimes determine our legal and technical frameworks. The Crowdstrike issue we see is essentially a foreseeable consequence of this decision.

As another comment pointed out, Apple don't provide the same level of access for app developers for iPhones, yet don't have the same scrutiny. I'd wager this is partially because antivirus vendors for iPhone never existed, which weakens their standing in a legal sense.

Unlike browser and antivirus vendors for Windows, you'd be demanding the courts create a new market for you, as opposed to preventing a monopoly from removing one.

I don't have an answer, or even a specific opinion, to this. Just making an observation.

You probably also pay that much for gas. It's about 650 km: 5 liters per 100 km at 120 km/h (a little less than the speed limit), it's a little more than 30 liters, which is about 60 Euro. If you travel alone train is probably cheaper and faster. If you travel with friends, car is cheaper but slower.
This is true. I practice it for a long time now, and still struggle a lot. How well it goes depends totally on the context of my life. It's hard, and honestly led to being very depressed a long time. But now I do feel like a better person, a lot of insecurities are gone, and with that, a lot of things that i did which were ultimately negative, also are gone (mostly). (lot of things still to work on :D).

I did go to therapy after a while for a few sessions, that's definitely something i'd recommend when depression hits. it's totally worth it, to get some confirmation or guidance on psychology.

One of the things for example for me that was an issue:
I became super indoorsy after a bad injury. That also caused me to excersize less. This both led to a loss of anti-cortisol production, which is a hormone that reduces stress. That ultimately meant, that no matter how long i'd sit in silence, i'd still be stressed because my physiology lost the ability to produce that by itself. Now i go for lots of walks outdoors, and do some minor excersize. It helps a lot to reduce stress again, but I do still need to meditate / sit in silence to reduce fear.
I tell this to everyone: be wary of hypotheses and results that are very appealing.
Pages that are already written cannot be overwritten, at least not without a full block erase, so it has to do a remap to append data.

Directly logging to an SD card (i.e. lots of small writes) is the fastest way to destroy it.

Really interesting, am a big fan of the utility that SVG's provide, an undersung hero of the web imo. One thing I've always particularly liked is you can wrap elements inside of an <svg> tag with an <a> tag, useful in the battle against a "square" web!
It requires javascript to instantiate the actual elements. Otherwise, none.

This might also be that DJI have owned Hasselblad for a while now, so they're sort of already in that space and Fuji don't want them to dominate it [too much]. Fuji's high resolution offerings are superior to Hasselblad's (IMHO) and cost half as much. They could eat up this market quite easily.

If you're wondering what benefit these cameras have in that space, here's a few photos I shot on a flight last year with one of them: http://leejo.github.io/2023/08/27/flying_back_from_dubai/

The dollar is the reserve currency because there are no viable alternatives.

It’s not about imperialism or hegemony, which are fashionable reasons used by the poor. It’s literally because there are no alternatives.

The US also is in the unique position of stabilizing the entire world financial system, something it does on an occasional basis. I’m not sure you understand what the price of financial chaos is, but it generally involves massive amounts of human suffering.

As an aside, imperialism is generally better than anarchy. Ask Libyans and Somalians how anarchy is working out for them.
Seconded. I hear a lot from psychologists that some people are so afraid to be alone for even short amount of time and self-reflect, that their whole lifes are chasing activity and partners
mdraid? Create two partitions and build a raid on top of them. Or any of advanced filesystems with built-in raid capabilities like bcachefs, btrfs or zfs.
HAM while playing by the rules is pretty much “not that”, due to ban on encryption and such.

Doesn’t help that the HAM community will more than happily snitch on you if you goof around too much, and licences mean your full dox are publicly searchable (at least in America).
ZFS can do this. Just set copies=2 on a dataset, and it'll always keep 2 copies of everything written thenceforth (with ~twice the storage usage).

And since it's a dataset setting instead of a pool setting, it can be applied selectively on a storage device.

"Oh, those photos are also backed up to Google Photos. It's maybe not ideal, but it's a lot of data and not worth keeping 2 copies those locally, so I'll leave those at the default of copies=1. But the this collection of code and short stories and I've written? That's pretty important to me, and it's actually kind of small -- I'll set that as copies=2. Actually, maybe copies=3 would be even better..."

The setting will stick with it between machines/sessions/whatevers without further user input. Things with copies=2 get mounted the same way as anything else is with ZFS in a given environment.

ZFS already detects bitrot very well even with copies=1, but it can't fix bitrot with chechsums alone. With copies=2, it has a non-zero chance at actually fixing it (or at least being completely readable so the data can be transitioned to the next storage device, completely intact).

> For most difficult decisions you’ll never know what would have happened if you had done things differently.

This sentence really resonates with me and should live rent free in a lot of people's mind.
Specifically the issue here was that it's littered between `/proc/<pid>/stat{,us}` and then for some of the information you have to look in `/proc` itself for things like major number - driver mapping (for figuring out which TTY something is running on).

Realistically you can get a useful `ps` by catting/grepping `/proc/<pid>/status` for all the processes, but the goal here was to replicate exactly the output of procps `ps aux`. Except for the bugs in column alignment, she fixed those intentionally.
If you have something specific in mind, I’m happy to address it! But I’m not quite sure what you’re referencing.
For me it cannot be justified. A corporate environment might be different though.

Still, as a consumer I reject it for personal use because I believe boot malware is rare since other forms of attack have been vastly more effective and I also don't have an evil maid.

I just hope we don't get to a ridiculous situation where my shitty bank gets panic if I root my phone and wants to extend that behavior to PCs. "Trusted computing" is a failure in my opinion and "security" on mobile devices is an example where it significantly impacts the usefulness of the devices themselves. Of course this might be more driven by ambitions to lock down phones than real security, but still.

Secure boot might be useful for devices you administer remotely. But any secure boot validation doesn't mean anything to me, the system could be infected without secure boot noticing anything. It probably only gets in the way of OS installations.
Darkreader does a really good job of preserving visibility in most cases, and is available on both mobile and desktop browsers. Definitely reconnect checking it out.
Anecdotally, I just took a long vacation in a country without much cell connectivity, and had a great time. It was very eye opening. But ever since coming back, I've been extremely unmotivated to work. I'm not sure if this counts as work burnout, but I'm sure the vacation had an impact.
The things you listed are probably less than 1% of all client loads. Video codecs and ML mostly run on accelerators and cryptography is a tiny proportion of all loads.
Particularly sad that even projects that attempt to pin their dependencies are running into this issue: if a dependency doesn’t have a pre-built wheel, then it will be built in an “isolated” environment, which means it won’t inherit a pinned setuptools version from the root project, and will instead pull the latest (unless the dependency itself is pinning setuptools).

Reproducible builds can’t come too soon.

The government isn't involved in orthography. There is an official orthography that public officials must use, but it follows the rules of the relevant non-governmental organizations.
The ARES people think they're really relevant at least here in Europe. I don't join them because they take it all too seriously IMO. They have this thing where a minor flood happens and they all come out in tacticool gear and pretend to be important but keep running in the way of the real aid workers. That was at least my experience when there was a "deployment". Perhaps in other countries it's different.

I don't care about being "important". I'm more into the hobby for the technical side.

I’m a geek. My kids are geeks. To not provide them access to a computer because there’s bad addictive things on computers is like not teaching kids to read because there’s harmful books.

In reality, things are never so black and white. When I tell my kids “no youtube, no gaming, but you’re allowed to use Scratch” there’s a risk they’re just browse scratch’s endless catalog of games made by others, plenty of which are impressively fun. So then I gotta say no to that too. But then my youngest wants to use Scratch with a youtube tutorial. That’s fine right? Well yes it is but it also means there’s the addictive recommendation cycle right there on the screen too. He’s not allowed to click on them but that’s hard to resist etc etc. It’s all solvable but it’s all very nuanced and makers of apps and platforms (including MIT) actively work against you at every step.

My theory is that every person in this thread who thinks this is simple doesn’t have children. It’s simple in the abstract and super messy in reality.

I’m not confident of what is meant by “stylable”, but I’m pretty sure it’s a misnomer.

If you mean applying static styles, you can do that with any form of SVG (that is, <img> qualifies as well).

If you mean inheriting styles from the parent document, you can only do that with inline SVG (that is, <iframe> doesn’t qualify).

But by the actual usage in the article (that it’s <svg> and <iframe> but not <img>), I think what is actually meant is interactive—that you can run scripts, have :hover styles, links, things like that.
That's not in keeping with my experience, even ignoring the fact that I am in North America. I've made hundreds of contacts in the EU during contests and only English was used. Do they perhaps use their native languages on local repeaters? If that is the case, I would not hear it since contesting is done on HF.
Some basic theoretical intuition behind this:

the compute graph for an LLM given context before it has to emit a token is traditionally bounded. By asking an LLM to generate intermediate answers, and have that visible as context, you are essentially allowing the LLM to use more compute before it gives you an answer. My guess is that SOTA models are far more flexible in that regard.
Can we see your `git config -l`? I sparingly use git submodules, and don't really suffer from any of the common issues as I have a very strict update routine, but I'd love to see where things could be improved.
> the actual problems involved with LLMs today

What are these "actual problems today"? More spam in Google results? Students cheating on assignments?

It seems clear that today's problems with LLMs are incredibly minor and unimportant compared to the potential extinction of humanity by future superintelligence.
Thanks, I wasn't familiar with this term!

I think you misunderstand my post. My "philosophical inquiry" is about trying to get to the bottom of this, and it seem to me that NAT, as virtually everywhere deployed and found in the unspeakably many SoHo setups, is a stateful NAT, and it's implicitly a bad firewall.

Yeah, I read a lot/too much about the crisis when it was going on... a monetary union without a fiscal union was just/is trouble, because every bailout had to be voted in by 28 national parliaments. The US states have a fiscal union so "bailouts" of states in deficit happen quietly and automatically, and federal benefits for citizens are guaranteed.

And indeed, having one's own currency means there's a natural way to recover the economy without pissing off many of the locals, if your currency devalues (e.g. compared to USD), your labor is now cheaper (in USD), and your countries products can be sold for cheaper. The Euro was very beneficial to Germany because it could continue growing without making its currency go up in value relative to other European ones and making its products less affordable. But it messed up a lot of other European countries...
