> Countries that did not implement this (eg Romania because their constitutional court found it illegal) were sued by the EU commission.

This is funny because the secret service abuses citizens' privacy in Romania all the time. But this turned against corrupt politicians which is probably why they sued. The secret service wiretapped them and gave the recordings to the anti-corruption directorate which was then led by the current EPPO chief prosecutor. Some high level politicians ended up in prison after much friction, but in the end a few heads had to roll in order to at least give the impression of fighting corruption, which the US Embassy and the EU asked for.

Romanian establishment parties would vote anything that comes out of the Comission. CSAM? They will vote for it. The opposition is basically Kremlin funded right wingers which were barred even from joining Viktor Orban's conservative group and two small parties like Macron's, one which didn't get any votes and the other has like three MEPs after making an alliance with two other small parties. If the right wingers vote against CSAM it's just to sabotage the EU decision process.
This new release will make my init.el a little smaller, which is nice, because it means my config was in the spirit of emacs and I was not working against it.
The biggest modification in my emacs setup is probably the completion system. I use a combination of vertico, orderless and corfu. Is someone out there who is happily using the built in completion facilities and wants to share their setup?
Do you write the middle of the sentence first, come back to the start then finish it?

Am I the only one that does this?

I'll have a central point I want to make that I jot down and then come back and fill in the text around it -- both before and after.

When writing long form, I'll block out whole sections and build up an outline before starting to fill it in. This approach allows better distribution on "points of interest" (and was how I was taught to write in the 90's).

Yeah I didn’t came up with the idea first, at my work we used an in house solution[1] but it had lots of shortcomings (hard to read output, hard to debug tests, virtually no documentation, and the code was very hard to extend and fix). My plan is to fix all these issues and more :)

I'm a teenager and was in the exact same position at their age, so this is what I found engaging.

There is nothing wrong with the LEGO stuff, the EV3 for Education kit is a great place to start and teaches you programming too in a Scratch-like interface. There are also some great books like "The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Volume 1: Machines and Mechanisms" by Yoshihito Isogawa, which taught me so much. The advantage of LEGO is that it is really easily reusable (although expensive to begin with) so reduces repeating costs.

Beyond that, if you have access to any machines, try starting to learn CAD software and buy a 3D printer, you'll be able to make so much from that. It's not so budget-friendly, but it's a great option. Then try building some cool mechanisms to develop your understanding of the principles, such as the ones below:

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXO69eRWkkY
- https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq_UHnXWA4jI_gSAW9rvOr-I5...
- And the ones in the aforementioned book "The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Volume 1: Machines and Mechanisms" - you don't have to do this all in LEGO, it shows some neat mechanisms.

I wasn't homeschooled, so I got to create some projects at school which were great fun. You can try the following out of plywood, modelling card and a few motors (there's tonnes of electronics tutorials online, all you need is some basic materials, a soldering iron and a ventilated space to solder in). Our challenges were:

- Using only 3 motors, create a crane that can pick up small objects. Use gears to increase mechanical advantage.
- Using cables/string, create a robot hand like at (https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=FCkWexqO2LU). How can you motorise it? How can you improve its accuracy?

For electronics and programming, I'd recommend the Raspberry Pi. It's easy to use with components. Someone I know is also starting a startup called Electrotilez that teaches you electronical engineering (https://www.linkedin.com/company/electrotilez/?originalSubdo...) so I'd recommend checking their product out once it launches.

So now you have the fundamentals nailed, try entering a competition! These are so exciting and have taught me so much. You also meet people that enable your future career. Some great ones include:

- PA Raspberry Pi Awards (ages 8-18, split into age categories)
- Samsung Solve for Tomorrow (ages 16-25, in 2 age categories)
- Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Next Gen (ages 11-15)
- The Big Bang Competition

I feel the same way when I'm on hold and a recording tells me "your call will be answered in the order it was received". This isn't about grammatical pedantry -- I don't care that they didn't say in which -- it's about it not making sense. Which, as I said, isn't grammatical pedantry. But it probably is still a bit pedantic. Still, though, how can one thing have an order? What order was my call received in? Is it before or after itself? I get the sense that whoever recorded that didn't spend any time actually thinking about it, or they would have said "Calls are answered in the order [in which] they are received" or something.
> Compromising it would simply be a matter of changing a few bytes in the executable, or replacing the executable with another one.

The executable is part of the system that's supposed to be safe. That you have no means to modify it is an aspect of safety.

With your example, imagine that program would be running on an AVR with boot fuses burnt.
This seems unlikely because LLMs don't produce high quality code, they produce average code. So they don't contribute to a better dataset, they contribute to a narrower dataset around the average. LLM tend to self poison, not to self improve. There is a good chance it already started because of the huge amount of chatgpt code that was put on github since 2021. Maybe if the LLM authors use some quality filter to discard 80%of the dataset it can be avoided.

And I am saying that zero percent of them do that. And somebody saying that Durov "take meaningful or genuine good faith efforts to address open corruption in their spaces". My point is that there is no way to verify the degree of "good faith genuinity", so we cant use that parameter in aspect of legal actions.

> Do you have an actual argument against my main point - Telegram UX is literally designed to facilitate drug trafficking inside the application

Shmaybe, idk. It never occurred to me until you wrote it that this feature would be used for drug trade. Then again, the one time I turned it on out of curiosity, I figured it's mostly used for prostitution. I guess the use may differ across the world :).

FWIW, I'm somewhat with you on this - I'm not assuming that governments and law enforcement frowning on E2EE chats are just fascists revealing themselves. USA is good at signalling the zeitgeist, but all the issues with police power abuse are IMHO a USA problem, not a whole world problem; over here, people seem to have a little more trust in governments and law enforcement.

It’s always interesting to share the Mises Institute talk on how intellectual property restrictions are an unfair government-created monopoly on ideas that harms capitalism and see how libertarian the person really is. Many people, of all backgrounds and creeds, have a politics of convenience that is only pro or against things when it benefits them, despite claiming to have a principled stance.

The old Amateur Scientist column in Scientific American had (in June 1974, half a century ago) an installment on how to build a pulsed nitrogen laser. It wasn't that hard. The emission is in the ultraviolet.

> All GC implementations in Rust that I've seen so far relied on much more heavy handed techniques like having GC<T> to be a double indirection, pushing references to threadlocal queue, have GC pointers to be fat to pass around metadata inline, etc. They have been closer to modified RC with corresponding cost.

For reference, the gc-arena crate discussed in the blog post has no double indirection and no fat pointers (except for DSTs). Passing and reading the references is free, while assigning references to GC objects requires a write barrier, like in C#. The library is single-threaded, so there's no thread local state (and no global state).

But you're right that since the library is not _that_ invasive or integrated with the language runtime / allocators, you don't get things like cheap allocations, barrier omitting or generations. And most notably, without stack scanning you can't do collection while in a GC-aware scope - in particular, you can't automatically run GC if you run out of memory during an allocation. Piccolo (Lua VM) solves this by being stackless and repeatedly jumping out of the GC scope, while Ruffle (Flash/AS2/AS3 VM) bites the bullet and only runs collection between frames and hopes that it'll never hit OOM within a single frame.
I vaguely remember that the first version of the go compiler compiled into C.

> Boeing is a 'too big to fail' corporation

My sarcastic reply: "Yeah, so what."

My more thoughtful reply: I think "too big to fail" gets a bad rap on HN. In my view, for any sufficiently large country+economy, at some point, your top 3-5 defense contractors will be considered "too big to fail". No way around that. Depending upon the size of your country+economy, this is true for steel manuf also, but probably just the top 1-2.

Has anyone with great expertise in Boeing considered the effects of a break-up? I'm not sure why Boeing needs so many different industries under one roof -- space, civil, military, plus others.

Is it an oxymoron to generate an asymmetrical cryptographic signature, send it to someone, and that someone verify the signature with the public key?

Why not just "trust" them instead? You have a contact and you know them, can't you trust them?

This is what "trust but verify" means. It means audit everything you can. Do not really on trust alone.

An entire civilization can be built with this methodology. It would be a much better one than the one we have now.

Using https would already mean encryption is not off by default. There are so many layers that can be encrypted. But at the end data is stored somewhere, and the keys must be available to the infrastructure to decrypt and serve the content.

Maybe the parent content meant E2E is off by default, which is what your first link states:

> Secret chats use end-to-end encryption, thanks to which we don't have any data to disclose.

Then the next paragraphs elaborate about the non-E2E encryption, and how would it be harder —- while not impossible —- to disclose data.

From the same link you shared:

> Thanks to this structure, we can ensure that no single government or block of like-minded countries can intrude on people's privacy and freedom of expression. Telegram can be forced to give up data only if an issue is grave and universal enough to pass the scrutiny of several different legal systems around the world.

Maybe getting the CEO of the company arrested is what it gets to disclose that data they want. After all he controls infrastructure and deployments.

Meanwhile, unlike Telegram, everything in Signal is E2E by default[1].

> Is it an oxymoron to generate an asymmetrical cryptographic signature, send it to someone, and that someone verify the signature with the public key?

Of course not. I verify because I don't trust them.

> Why not just "trust" them instead? You have a contact and you know them, can't you trust them?

No, the risk of trust is too high against the cost of spending a second verifying.

> This is what "trust but verify" means. It means audit everything you can. Do not really on trust alone.

Your comment just showed an example of something I don't trust and asked "why not trust instead"? The question even undermines your very point, because "why not trust them instead?" assumes (correctly) that I don't trust them, so I need to verify.
