> I wonder how much of that is just... how to put it kindly... basically running out of people prone to overdose in the first place?

Very little.

Narcan became approved for OTC sale at the end of March, 2023. As the numbers show, it turns out that widespread access to and timely administration of a drug that prevents people from dying from opioid overdoses prevents them from dying from opioid overdoses.

Edit: Do you know anyone who uses opiods? You might consider picking up some Narcan just in case they screw up and OD when you're around. You can buy it at Walgreens [0] and many other commercial pharmacies.

It's been a bit since I've added it to an existing project, but at least as of a year or so ago, the Rust implementation (tracing + tracing-opentelemetry + opentelemetry-jaeger specifically for that project) was similar.

The impact on compile time and code size wasn't bad (for a project that was large and already pulling in a lot of crates), but it had a huge runtime cost - mostly allocator pressure in the form of temp allocations from what I could see. For a mostly I/O bound workload, it more than doubled CPU utilization and ballooned OS-measured memory consumption by >30%

It Depends... Sure you could spam the pager system triggering them one by one, but because how pagers work you could trigger them all at the same time.

Pagers are basically just a receiver of a One-to-Many network. A pager will receive all pages being broadcast as they are "listen only" devices. As the pagers don't talk back to the service provider the SP doesn't know which transmitter to use, so the SP will broadcast the pages out across their whole network. The circuity/software of the pager will then filter out only the messages intended for that pager out of all the pages it receives. To reach pagers out of range/switched off the SP would just repeat the page for a period of time.

(note: for message privacy you can add encryption to the message but back in the day that didn't happen, and you could just pull clear text out of the air.)

This "receiver only" style of device allowed pagers to be low power and would run for a very long time on a single AAA battery (or even on a watch battery, because they built a pager into a watch! The Timex Beepwear... Oh I so wanted one as a kid!). But it has the benefit that because they are one-way/"listen only" you can't track them because they are not communicating back to the mothership! It would be like trying to track an AM/FM radio in a car.

If you are adding an "add-on board" to the device, you could tap the receiver of the pager and do your own decoding of the pages. So you could have the add-on board trigger on a "certain message for this pager only" but you could also trigger on "a certain message sent to pager serial 1234567890".

If you knew the phone number assigned to the pager with the serial 1234567890 (because you just so happened to have paid for service for that pager by what ever clandestine means you wanted) you could trigger them all with a single phone call from a public phone or a disposable cell phone to a pager not even associated to the target group of devices.

EDIT: Just a note to say 2 way pagers do exist, this type of pager allows the pager to confirm receipt of a page and even send their own pages to other pagers, but I would suspect that the type of pager being used in this case is the one-way type pager because its reported they were using them because they are harder to track.
I think maybe it's worth considering the possibility that the things being replaced did not work well, and were replaced because the new options solved problems and user pain.

To pick on cron, just from my own experience:

"I wonder where this scheduled task is configured" -> "Lemme check /etc/crontab" -> "nope, I guess maybe /etc/cron.d?" -> "Nope, lemme check /etc/cron.hourly/daily/weekly" -> "hmm, not there... maybe I want `crontab -l`... or it's running as a user, lemme check that list and run through `crontab -l -u $USER"

Finding out that I didn't notice a cronjob was failing because the stock methodology for notifications is email, and relies on the system having SMTP configured and having MAILTO set in cron.

Realizing a cronjob wasn't running because some, but not all, of the cron options have character limitations like "the file name can't contain any dots".

The total lack of dependency management, so anything I wanted to run @reboot needed to handle its own dependency checks and sleeps to make sure I didn't say, try to run puppet before the network was up.

On the networking side, I started using Arch when the config flow was "edit bash arrays in /etc/rc.local". I've used netcfg, netctl, and now systemd-networkd. systemd-networkd is easier to reason about, easier to debug, more powerful, and more portable between systems.

Ultimately, your question is that of ethics, so the answer depends on you. It's only you who can decide if the benefits of providing journalists and freedom fighters (presumably those aligned with your world views) with secure messaging will balance out all the harm it will do when abused and misused.

One (sort-of) solution here is to provide a self-hosted version of the system only. This will still have the same ethical baggage attached to it, but it will be somewhat dampened by the fact that you aren't directly enabling and facilitating any shady stuff. Not promoting it and keeping it reserved for your circle is another workaround.

These workers didn't create the fab equipment and don't know how to design or create the machinery used there. They also don't have access to the software source code. Most US workers hold maintenance or managerial positions, while those with the deep technical expertise come from Taiwan. There will be no knowledge transfer, aside from how to operate the fab, which is something Intel US employees already know.
The article does not appear to agree with that claim.

At least in Googles case, they're having so much difficulty keeping AI slop out of their search results that I don't have much faith in their ability to give it an appropriately low training weight. They're not even filtering the comically low-hanging fruit like those YouTube channels which post a new "product review" every 10 minutes, with an AI generated thumbnail and AI voice reading an AI script that was never graced by human eyes before being shat out onto the internet, and is of course always a glowing recommendation since the point is to get the viewer to click an affiliate link.

Google has been playing the SEO cat and mouse game forever, so can startups with a fraction of the experience be expected to do any better at filtering the noise out of fresh web scrapes?
It's seriously awesome that Narcan is now available widely. I'd love to see the price come down somewhat, though. I just checked the site for my local Walgreen's and a 2 pack is $35.

$35 on some level seems like a great deal for something that can save a life (or even 2!) - I just worry that for the crowd who really needs it the most, $35 might be tough to part with. (I realize that a lot of harm reduction programs hand it out for free, though).

Still, it's extremely encouraging to see that overdose rates are falling this much. I spent a little time a few months ago watching some of Andrew Callaghan's videos covering homelessness and open air drug markets and it's grim out there.

> One thing that I think that frequently eludes people in this discussion is that US manufacturing has pretty much been constantly growing for the past century; just its share of GDP has fallen as other sectors have grown faster. And the share of the workforce has fallen even faster, as the actual manufacturing has moved towards higher value items and greater degrees of automation.

The last part is missing something important though. If we're measuring "output" in dollars and the US is doing the parts (like aircraft manufacturing) that globally don't have a lot of competitors, the high "output" is from high prices rather than high production, and then what we're doing is surviving in the markets where there isn't a lot of competition and getting killed in the markets where there is.

There are three problems with this. The first is that it implies the US isn't competitive in competitive markets, which is a sign that something is very messed up. The second is that the markets where other countries aren't competitive tend to get eroded over time. The US essentially had a lock on the auto market in the mid-20th century; not anymore. What happens when China starts making globally competitive aircraft?

And the third is that supply chains matter. If you give up on the low margin stuff instead of figuring out how to make it competitively domestically (e.g. via automation) then foreign competitors have a leg up when it comes to making the high margin stuff for which the commodities are inputs.

> I don't think the government applying such levers to change how the market allocates capital probably won't be a win for economic output or quality of life.

Relying on "free markets" actually requires free markets. If other countries are willing to subsidize their industries until they drive manufacturing out of the US, that's not a free market. It's the equivalent of a monopolist using dumping and tying to leverage their existing monopoly into new markets, but with a country acting as the monopolist and therefore being exempt from antitrust enforcement.

Doing the same thing in return is not likely to be an efficient strategy, but neither is the status quo. The main alternative would be to realize that the thing we've been calling "free trade" is not actually that and a country that subsidizes its industries until its US competitors exit the market has to be dealt with as an abusive monopolist, e.g. via tariffs and similar policy levers, since antitrust laws don't apply to foreign governments.

Oh, OK. I guess there are different ways to use the word "relative". Certainly a decline when zoomed in can look like part of an increase when zoomed out. But to be clear, this isn't one of those decline-in-the-rate-of-increase deals, which is what "relative" means to me. (Great news everybody! The rate of increase in the increasingly large numbers of deaths is slowing down!)

I often find this is the case with Apple on a technical level.

For instance, their recent Spatial (stereographic) Video features uses a format that has basically zero current support outside of Apple—which is in fact just standard MV-HEVC [0] (with some extra optional metadata [1]), which is just the H.265 evolution of the standard H.264 MVC that 3D Blu-rays have used for a long time. (AFAIK no 4K 3D Blu-rays have been released, presumably due to space constraints, explaining the lack of usage of MV-HEVC outside Apple).

In piracy world, most re-encoded 3D movies just use objectively inferior composited 2D formats like half-side-by-side or over/under. And without diving in you’d just assume Apple was using some bespoke format to be evil, when in fact they are popularizing what should be the canonical, standardized format for 3D video.

And all of these are wrong. NASA budget is bigger then the rest of the world combined.

Low risk tolerance isn't a really problem.

High-tech is actually good and these mythical cheap heavy designs don't actually exist. SpaceX is building Starship and Raptor not SeaDragon. This is just the old 'Soviet tanks are cheaper nonsense repackaged for Space'.

The 4th is a problem, but not actually the biggest problem.

The real issue is that NASA doesn't get a goal and money. Each program is individually controlled by congress, budget is strictly allocated to certain program.

When a former NASA administrator even suggested to do something that would hurt a important program, and make it much cheaper he was instantly threatened with firing and told if he continued to publicly talk about it, he would be removed. He in fact suggested he should just resign.

And this suggested change wasn't even a very hard attack compared to what NASA SHOULD actually have done.

If you spend 30 years and 60 billion $ achieving basically nothing and congress is incredibly happy with the program, you know you have a totally broken system.

Chips are plenty save in space, this isn't that big of a problem and doing all this logic in TTL wouldn't make sense.

They’ve definitely been overprescribed here (and the drug companies making the opioids pushed them knowing they were addictive, and downplayed the risks). One of my best friends’ cousins died in his 20s of a heroin overdose. He got addicted to opioids after being prescribed painkillers following a shoulder surgery. He was a baseball player, in good shape, young.

To me, overdose deaths in people prescribed them by doctors are some of the worst. They’re frequently in younger individuals, meaning more life cut short; they were indirectly caused by a profession whose ethos is “first, do no harm”. To me, it is a sign that something has gone badly wrong in the medical profession and society at large and sows major distrust in our institutions.
> covers the requirements of open source

There's no source
Over-prescription is/was bad. I have many friends who've had sports-related surgeries (ACL repair, joint replacements in their 50s, etc). Almost all received several weeks of opioids to take at home. Very few actually used them all, leaving them with a bottle nearly full of dangerous, addictive drugs.

Most of them transition to OTC pain management ASAP because they know the risks of addiction. I imagine people who don't know better take the full course, because that's what was prescribed, and end up at more risk for addiction?

I heard a story according to which a similar scheme was used in the Algerian war of independence, so these is more retro than scifi. Radio sets were left by the French military for the Algerians to grab. The explosive was hidden in the frame and components, and the trigger was a specific audio frequency. The device looked exactly like a stock military radio set if you disassembled it. So it's not that scifi.

In reality you say, "AI" but in your head you really mean, "Analog Intelligence" that way you're never lying :thumbsup:
Your comment above was that it is a glibc function, which is true, but it’s there for reason. It’s also a libc, musl, uClibc, and Windows Sockets 2 function: because it’s defined in POSIX 1.1 and extended in RFC 3493.

I have no opinion on whether it’s good enough (it seems like not if every platform has a connect-by-name implementation), just that calling it a glibc function overly simplifies it’s origin.

It’s also false to say only GNU tries to be POSIX compliant. There are 8 commercial UNIXes that meet some POSIX standard, another 8 that are discontinued (at least one of which was a Linux distro), and dozens that are mostly compatible. POSIX doesn’t care if that compatibility comes from the kernel or user space libraries.

POSIX isn’t good enough at what? Maybe you don’t understand what it’s goal is/was. POSIX exists for portability. It’s a minimal set of functions developers can target to get things done on any UNIX. Any OS will always have something beyond POSIX to differentiate it.
