I think you have it backwards. Open borders are a right-wing goal. See Bernie Sanders comments on the subject circa 2015. How the Koch brothers want open borders to weaken labors leverage.

The wealthy and powerful don't benefit from citizenship. When you have wealth you can just pay for what you need or want. It's the common person who needs the benefits and protections that come from citizenship.

You're on the right path, pointing out how counter-culture liberals won but they are in fact right-wing. They LARP as liberals/leftists.
There are many other reasons. We believed that:

- major accidents will be very rare (if any),

- industrial breeding will become possible (in order not to be dependent on uranium reserves or suppliers),

- nuclear power was the only option (at the time there were no industrial way to exploit renewable energy)

- terrorists, war and suicidal operators were not factors,

- dumping nuclear waste in various places (even in the sea) is adequate

All this is now way more difficult to believe.
You've been mugged in a foreign country and have no phone, no wallet, or keys. How do you break back into your digital life? Everything's got two factor and you've not got your something-you-have factor.

I'm all for almost all my servers not accepting passwords, but it's a scenario that I think about, so there's one server running ssh on an non-default port that takes a password so I can break back in using only what's in my head (hopefully I don't get hit so hard in this mugging so as to forget what I've memorized).
> better get it right 100% of the time

It turns out they were mostly right (at least the decisions were the best possible with the knowledge of the time). Vaccines were effective against infection at the time and became less so with new variants (still a very good idea to reduce illness severity and likelyhood of hospitalization), lockdowns had some side effects but all in all saved lives before we got the vaccine, and the like.

Now that misinformation is less harmful than before thanks to most people having some immunity, it's less controlled and more people start believing the misinformation to be the truth.
This is irrelevant for the US and Western Europe, Russia, China, and Japan. It's likely irrelevant for India, Pakistan and Israel, but afaik they're still lower scale when it comes to proliferation.

I also love tailscale's ssh option. I have been using it for a few months now. But I'm a little bit scared that if the tailscale daemon crashes, I'll lose access to my server.
STARTTLS command buffer smuggling was already a known issue long before 2014. In particular, the deluge of CVEs for MTAs started in early 2011, and it was obvious from the nature of the issue that it wasn't limited to SMTP, but rather pertained to lower level I/O interfaces common to network facing servers generally.

I believe Postfix had the honor of the first CVE: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-0411 There would be another 7 CVEs for command injection in other servers before the end of 2011. (https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=starttls)
> Actually it is obviously inconsistent.

What the hell are you talking about? That’s like saying it’s inconsistent for a basketball team to try and score points while also trying to prevent the opposing team from also scoring points. It’s certainly adversarial, but so was the geopolitical relationship between the Soviet Union and the West.

Looking at the past 10-20 years, how are the immigration policies of the US or the Biden administration [1] further left than France, Germany or the UK - even under a conservative government post-Brexit? The US does have jus soli but I don't consider that to be a left wing thing.

1. Biden was promoting - and willing to sign into law - a border bill written by a Republican; it very nearly passed as it initially had bipartisan support before being scuppered by a presidential candidate.

I'm probably just too inexperienced in the whole Computer Science world, but I become even more fascinated by modern computers and the people who worked on them, the more I learn.

I remember learning about the inner architecture of CPUs for the first time and being amazed at the genius of early computer architects.

Maybe this will change in the future, but right now I feel this enchantment more, the more I learn about technology.
Of all the trolley problems in the world, we had to walk into this one.

At the density of use and speed of occupancy by cyclists, Even assuming this was true (which I doubt, there will be another characterisation of this, which could be as simple as "they are designed to swerve to the slower edge of the road if it is multi lane") the impact risk here is lower than swerving into any other lane occupied by other vehicles surely?

I can see this as a justified, documented least-worst choice.

WoW64 is practically native because Windows keeps 32-bit copies of all system libraries for 32-bit binaries to refer to. There is a very minor performance hit when Windows thunks calls to SysWOW64 behind the curtains, but it's impossible to notice.

You can see it for yourself, the 32-bit libraries are stored at C:\Windows\SysWOW64; the 64-bit libraries are stored at C:\Windows\System32.

Yes, the naming dissonance is not missed. The glory of backwards compatibility. :V

You're probably using WoW64 right now and not realized it because it's so seamless; there are still plenty of new/current 32-bit programs including Steam and many games.

As for running a 30 year old program, it's not exactly 30 years old (yet!) but I run stuff like Winamp and Paint Shop Pro 5 daily without fuss to this day in Windows 11 thanks to Microsoft's devotion to backwards compatibility.

The older WoW which was based around NTVDM (NT Virtual DOS Machine) for running 16-bit programs on 32-bit Windows was actual emulation, as evidenced by the name.
I wonder if this would be more efficient than the browser's impl. But i guess if clay does less complex layouts (but which is still sufficient for applications) than css, it might be faster than the browser's own.

Very curious train of thought.
This is a nice gesture, but true to my form, I'm going to spring board off of it with negativity:

This is the absolute stupidity of pay walls in order to force a small segment of users into third party dynamic ad insertion. It's greedy and lazy while somewhat giving away editorial control of articles to whatever javascript gets shoved down the pipe at you.

That newspapers haven't build their own ad serving network or their own analytics network in 2024 is something I seriously didn't expect. It's so mind boggling, I refuse to even take their freebies at this point, I'd much rather get the article through a third party that strips everything out.

It sends the correct message, you're greedy, and now you get _nothing_.
You're generalizing all governments of all times. Surely there are people in governments that do spend money to benefit the majority?

Truth to be told, working on publicly is for selfish reasons (but nonetheless, it will make me very happy if it helps people)

I started a year and half ago, progress was extremely slow, I felt making it public would give me some push, besides improving my portfolio

Building are different in different countries, and other geopolitical divisions. The UK authorities, for example, say it's safe to shower during a storm as long as your plumbing has been properly integrated into a standards-compliant equipotential bonding, noting that said standards change over time. So, you'd have to know them and trust/verify the builder followed them.

Or, you know, just wait a while and enjoy the show.

Whatever. You do you.
Welp, water is wet.

It won't be up to Novo Nordisk to reduce the cost of GLP1 RAs -- it will be up to other entrants into the market (that said, there are worryingly few), and huge companies taking up manufacturing of GLP1s and similar compounds.

At this point, companies partnering with compounding pharmacies might hit mainstream (more than it already has) and be the go-to way to get GLP1 RAs.

There's already a Liraglutide (Victoza/Saxenda) generic:

Many of us don't want any outside content. Just our friends. There is no way to engage with the platform to produce that sort of feed without hacking something.

Besides, even for my interests, I don't want to see a bunch of random if topical chaff. It's extremely rare for the algorithm to pick up on the kind of advanced, nuanced, and obscure discussions that I want to see, simply because they are invisible to it by their very nature.

Plus for whatever reason the algorithm thinks I'm super big on some things that make absolutely no sense... for example one recurring topic seems to be posts about various corporate logos and how they are constructed, yet I have never willingly engaged with anything on FB having to do with logos or graphic design. Another favorite topic it likes to show is really bad humor, like jokes so basic and elementary that I have a hard time understanding how anyone finds them funny. Oh and the obligatory horny bait.

It's nice that you've somehow managed to cajole your feed into something you can tolerate, but your post strikes me as suffering from the same kind of myopia common amongst tech workers who have never stepped outside their bubble. We as a group need to be pushing back much harder against the algorithmic slop that seems to dominate pretty much all popular social watering holes.

Ye the article is pretty interesting - I was trying to calculate inference provider's profit margins for say Llama-3.1 8b including electricity costs and the power consumption of GPUs, and I seem to always get to around $0.20/1M tokens as the minimum cost if you amortize a GPU's cost over 1 GPU. If you amortize it over 2 years, then maybe $0.15/1M tokens.

I'm very intrigued about OpenAI's profit margins, if they are indeed true.
Siri has the advantage of running on either an iPhone or a Macbook. Chrome has to run on budget android phones and chromebooks.
Heat has somewhere to go. Vast amounts of heat from the Sun hit half the Earth's surface. Most of it radiates into space.

Mainly the thing that we've done wrong is not adding heat, but thickening the blanket, so to speak, so that more heat is retained: increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases.
> The article is a mix of half-truths and speculation with a few random facts sprinkled in

I could say the same about your comments here. What's your evidence?
They probably already have that ability. And not only they.
Maybe if you stopped with the sarcasm and thought about this critically you'd see that the solution isn't taxing everyone to death, but reducing the out-of-control government spending. Because at the rate the government is spending money, you will be paying this "capital gains" tax in 2 decades on a much smaller balance.
Alternatively, you could continue to allow them to borrow against the current price of the stock, but doing so causes gains to become realized for the sake of tax purposes.

If you want to be especially charitable, allow the stock owner to choose which of the two options to use when applying for the loan.

>There were a large body of studies showing that Ivermectin helped with COVID.

No, there wasn't. I haven't kept up with the science, so there may be such studies now, but there certainly wasn't back in late 2020, when the ivermectin craze spread like wildfire among right wingers.
His point was that a tax on unrealized gains can one day be applied to less wealthy people.

I can explain it to you with a simple example:

Imagine, for instance, you're making 50k a year and have a brokerage account that has appreciated by 100k and that you're being taxed 20% on unrealized gains in year x. In year x+1, say your account falls back to where it was before. You paid 20k plus another 10k, and you will need to set aside another 10k. In essence, your income has been reduced to 10k, which could make daily life impossible for many people making 50k annually, especially those with families.

A similar one changes my LED-filled floor lamp (running WLED) to a pattern that matches the current weather conditions. Falling rain, lightning, heat "rising". Sort of an ambient notification system.

Another warns my wife if her commute time home is expected to be longer than usual, so she can opt to get a bit more work done if it means a quicker drive with a similar arrival time.

My favorite is the laundry notification. Current sensing outlets let us know when the washer or dryer is in use, and door sensors track if the lid to the washer or dryer is open/closed. So if someone starts laundry, the HomePods play a chime and announcement that "the washing machine is done!" If the door isn't opened in 15 minutes, it chimes again. Another 15 minutes, and a notification is sent to me and my wife. :D
He also does not have ultimate decision making power. The article notes that all decisions by their investment committee were a group vote.
Generally speaking, you’re right, but I have servers I want to be able to access from anywhere, because I support some app running on them. Until 1password agent setup, having keys only and password disabled was too difficult, and yet, also unnecessary.

Zero day ssh bug? I’m not NSA, how often does this happen to random servers?? Again, never have been hacked in more than 20 years. Still support some servers with ~6 year uptime.

It's not, really. It's been a while since I've checked pricing so my data might be old, but an IB switch is in the same ballpark as an ethernet switch with the same port speed. Same for HCA's.

There's no analogue in the Infiniband world to dirt cheap 1GbE RJ-45 switches though.
I'm from Europe, I pay 50% in taxes and I can assure you that even here you can get rich. I can also attest that there's nothing wrong with the government having money for universal healthcare, infrastructure, security, mitigation climate change and housing.
In principle, with perfect knowledge of flows at any given instant, you can assign credits/rate-of-transmission for each flow to prevent congestion. But, in practice this is somewhat nuanced to build, and there are various tradeoffs to consider: what happens if the flows are so short that coordinating with a centralised scheduler incurs a latency overhead that is comparable to the flow duration? There's been research to demonstrate that one can strike a sweet spot, but I don't think it's practical nor has it been really deployed in the wild. And of course, this scheduler has to be made reliable as it's a single point of failure.

Such ideas are, however, worth revisiting when the workload is unique enough (in this case, it is), and the performance gains are so big enough...

The 2D histogram is very interesting, but difficult to interpret, because of the various samplings and normalizations that could be relevant: number of books published; number (fraction) of books digitized.

If I had to summarize the big picture, taking the contour at the top of the dark blue band: coverage was sporadic until ~1700; then more books were published, and the references gradually moved back to 1500 over the next 100 years, but did not consider the future very much. 1800 seems to be a singularity (but perhaps due to sampling effects), where interest in the deep past and the future exploded in a short period.

There are also interesting lines in the plot. First the vertical lines. There seems to be one (or more) books in 1530 that discussed the far future up to 1900. Then another futurist work around 1610. There's a history book published ~1580, that covers then recent past, and another cluster around 1650, perhaps including Hobbes's 'Leviathan'. Of course we miss Gibbon's 'Decline and Fall' because it covers antiquity, off the chart.

Secondly, the horizontal lines. There is a bright line at ~1100, perhaps the First Crusade, and more at ~1300, ~1600 ~1800. The line at ~1350 could be the Black Death.

Finally, there are the shadows of the 20th century wars, when history was not so popular, because there were more pressing current events to be written about, and all the historians were fighting at the front.

By "early 80s computers" if you mean home computers like the C64, Apple II, trs80, ibmpc and Sinclair, then the answer is no. Not really. Today's software is memory and power hungry. Which 80s computers didn't have very much of. It is possible we could have done a better job of switching paradigms earlier. But I think the 80s software was pretty good for what it was.

It seems like it would make sense to stop allowing people to put up their stock as collateral on these types of loan, rather than taxing unrealized gains.

Even if losing 100% is unlikely, someone could lose control of their company. Say I own 51% of my company. Harris wants 25%. I sell my shares to cover it… if my math is right, I then own 38.25%, the year after that, 28.6%, then 21.5%, 16, 12, 9… the control is gone. I lost my company. Let’s say the company was worth $1B. At 9% ownership I’m now under the $100m net worth threshold. So I would have paid $420M in taxes. Then let’s say the stock tanks… I have been selling off shares flooding the market, the direction has been taken from me, the decisions aren’t good and I’m powerless to stop it, the company’s value drops by 85%. Had I never paid any taxes on unrealized gains, my stock would be valued at $76.5M, below the threshold of the tax. But instead, I paid the government $420M, my new position is $13.5M, and the company I founded and build from the ground up is slipping away.

This may be dramatic, but it could happen. $13.5M isn’t nothing, but it is when the government taxed you 420M.

And what happens when all this stock is sold and floods the market? Does the market crash? When the market tanks, what happens to everyone’s 401k, the middle class… they get screwed.

Someone tell me why I’m wrong, because this is there my mind goes with this stuff.

I wonder if we’ll start seeing more bootstrapped companies staying private, instead of everyone going after VCs who are looking for a big return, either through going public or an acquisition.

But then somebody stops and thinks... How would they know about Ball lightning at that age, in that age.

Repeat that with thousands of accounts across cultures, continents, and at least 500 years. It's a real humdinger. Descriptions of Ball lightning are, afaik, more consistent than how people of different cultures handle psych problems.
