Facts and reality, I guess?

I'm not sure why you think this is counter to my point (perhaps we should wonder what you yourself are smoking?), which to reiterate was that:

1. Most current security issues are due to the various insecure foundations we build our technology on, and

2. By the time Neuralink type implants are common, that won't be the case anymore.
It is customary to learn the local slang for posts when you’re riding the information superhighway but in a pinch everyone knows what a post is, as it is the product that comes from the process of posters posting.

Sticking to fundamentals can be good when for example a literal insane person tries to tell you that an Xer Xes Xs on X. That’s just not true, nobody believes that wording is right.
No, security shouldn't be relaxed because you are "just nuking it".
It could be reprocessed for use in a breeder reactor, but breeders are not attractive at present or foreseeable uranium prices. They make the expensive part of nuclear power (capital costs) even more expensive to save money on the part that doesn't cost much at all (making fuel from mined uranium). If nuclear power expanded drastically then breeders might be more affordable than exploiting really marginal uranium sources, but otherwise they make the economics of nuclear power worse.
Avoid context switching as much as you can. I don't use my phone at all during phone hours (outside of lunch maybe) and try to do work in 90 min chunks where I try to focus on just one thing (so if I'm writing code I'll ignore all slack pings unless it's urgent).

I have also made a bunch of small optimizations like using productivity tools like Cursor so I can avoid copy pasting code into chat gpt. My recent favorite AI tool is https://rockyai.me/ that a previous co-worker built. It's a chrome extension that lets you chat with any webpage using LLMs
I was under the impression that native into size was still faster on current architectures, I guess I have stuff to read! Thanks for telling me.

...and DX, as I said.
Okay, I don't actually believe in that form of democracy. Not all things that are legal are good, therefore we should set constraints on what the majority can do. I'd describe your system as closer to mob rule. And no, that is not the premise of every system that incorporates democracy as an element, it's the premise of an absolute democracy.
How does that help?

Setting that on the init process is pointless, since init already has the reaping behavior, and it when a process is reparented it doesn't give init any information about what the parent was when it is reparented.

Setting it on the service process isn't helpful either, since the fored process will get reparented to init after the forking process dies since a dead process can't reap it.
Optic gas.
I’m not sure about how this is happening. Transmit is a desktop app - or does it have a cloud hosted component?

If it’s a desktop app, it should be possible to generate an api key and pass it to the desktop app, that’s it. Google doesn’t know or care about who’s using it at that point.

The security flow being discussed should impact cloud-hosted applications.

What am I missing?
I'm pretty sure I could also manually flip bits in memory to get something that runs on Android but I wouldn't call that practical.

So the answer is: No, no practical way exists for people to freely (as in speech) develop android apps. I hope Google gets regulated out of existence.

Life in the sense of being able to acquire food and shelter to continue being physically alive, probably. Not life as in meaning.
That may be one failure mode, but another one is more prominent: Half-assing the next feature is more interesting than going back and making the last feature that you half-implemented actually work. That goes for both commercial and open-source software.
come on, Neil... you just published 700 words on the topic. You even made flow charts! Are you now saying you don't actually have a solid understanding of the situation?
Suppose you're a young 20 something with maybe $300 to your name. Daddy gets struck by farming equipment and dies. Now you have two choices:

1. Continue operations of the family farm, assuming you can come up with the money to cover taxes.

2. Sell the farm to Big Farm, Inc., get a $5M check and forget about it, regardless of the consequences that means to your customers.
And not even cgroups are enough if the process has write access to another cgroup (for example, because it is root)

The example on the blog post is one of those that makes me severely question HTMX and the stuff that we're doing. Doing HTTP requests to increase a counter, or affecting any local-only state change at all, seems so wild to me.
There was no "coup attempt". There was a protest. Occupying and damaging Brasília buildings is essentially the standard brazilian protest. It's happened before.

You call it a coup because they wanted the military to seize power. They didn't try to seize power for themselves, they wanted the military to rule over them. That's a valid political position. A coup attempt is the military actually trying something. An actual coup is the military succeeding at it. A thousand people with bibles and flags is not a coup or even an attempt at a coup. It's just a protest.
Weird article. Bazel does exactly what the author wants. And it seems unrelated to AI.

Whenever this is brought up, the silence is deafening.

Edge is a good browser, and users are notoriously lazy; most won't read a dialog box before clicking it away. And yet... ~everyone on Windows still downloads Chrome.
According to the user it was delisted the first time though, so I wonder what caused the other two.

fyi ebay agreed to enhanced compliance (ie a crackdown) of pill presses as part of a settlement earlier this year

I hope she consults a lawyer. No doubt they have an arbitration clause, but even a commercial arbitration firm will take notice of the fact that eBay violated its own guidelines while providing no form of meaningful recourse or feedback. It's a sad irony that tech firms have made themselves far more Kafkaesque and unresponsive than any government regulator.
Idk, just looking at it now Barbour seems much, much more rigorous. The linked article is more “using scientific terms to muse about philosophy” than physics, IMHO. For example;

In essence, therefore, we experience time because of the interplay between our computational boundedness as observers, and the computational irreducibility of underlying processes in the universe.

His big insight is literally the starting point of Hegel’s The Science of Logic, namely that we are finite. That in no ways justifies all the other stuff (especially multiverse theory), and it’s not enough to build a meaningfully useful conception of time, at all. All it gets you is that “if you were infinite you wouldn’t experience time”, which is a blockbuster-sci-fi-movie level insight, IMO.

I can’t help but think of Kant as I write this; he wrote convincingly of the difference between mathematical intuition and philosophical conception, a binary Wolfram would presumably—and mistakenly-identify with solid logic vs meaningless buffoonery. But refusing to acknowledge our limits makes you more vulnerable to mistakes stemming from them, not less.

…the metaphysic of nature is completely different from mathematics, nor is it so rich in results, although it is of great importance as a critical test of the application of pure understanding—cognition to nature. For want of its guidance, even mathematicians, adopting certain common notions—which are, in fact, metaphysical—have unconsciously crowded their theories of nature with hypotheses, the fallacy of which becomes evident upon the application of the principles of this metaphysic, without detriment, however, to the employment of mathematics in this sphere of cognition.

Worth remembering at this point that Aristotle coined “physics” for the mathematical study of physis (nature), which was then followed up by a qualitatively different set of arguments interpreting and building upon that basis in a work simply titled metaphysics (after physics). We’ve learned infinitely more mathematical facts, but IMO “what is time, really?” will forever remain beyond their reach, a fact determined not by the universe but by the question itself.

TL;DR: if you’re gonna try to talk cognition you should at least admit that you’re writing philosophy, and ideally cite some philosophers. We’ve been working on this for a hot minute! Barbour seems to be doing something much less ambitious: inventing the most useful/fundamental mathematical framework he can.

It helps to conceptualize the circuit of money as it flows from government(G) to the private sector(P) back to the government as G-P-G. The outlays(G-P) and receipts(P-G) can both be increased or decreased to affect aggregate demand. MMT's view is that inflation can be a result of aggregate demand outstripping economic capacity, though not the only one. Supply-side constraints, resource shortages, or structural bottlenecks can also lead to inflation.

MMT emphasizes that taxation (P-G) is not necessary to "fund" government spending. Instead, taxation primarily serves to control inflation and create a demand for the currency. Taxation creates a value for the currency since taxes are payable only in the government's currency.

When we hold the P-G-P view of government spending, we assume it operates like a household - that a government has to collect taxes before spending and this is viewed by MMTheorists as an antiquated perspective. The misconceptions of "The government as a household" were based on the gold standard or fixed exchange rate systems, which since 1971 no longer apply.
To me, 'sophisticated' connotes complexity in a way that means I'd never use it to describe something extremely simple or minimal, including Hemingway's prose— even if it meets the definition of another sense of the word. I might use other adjectives to praise it, but not 'sophisticated'.

And I think any reasonable curriculum should include some 'sophisticated' texts in the narrower sense described above. I actually don't think that sophistication in the sense of worldliness is as important a thing to try to ensure in this kind of curriculum. That's more a matter of fashion or ingroup signaling than any textual feature, and you'll get it for free in any school curriculum anyway— preexisting canons will impose themselves one way or another and demonstrating fluency in the canon is the main thing that evinces sophistication (divorced from complexity) in a text (or a student, for that matter).

I agree with the rest of what you're saying, though.

That flag three times is also after it was delisted. So flagged once, and then flagged twice more after it was gone. Must have been enormously frustrating to remove a listing and keep getting warnings about the same, removed item.

I can’t understand this from a data processing point of view. Surely the flag database tracks that an item was already flagged and removed, in order to avoid duplicates.
Google is such a rudderless mess that breaking it up may be the only way to salvage anything of societal value from this company.

Jules Verne was/is inspiring. I also recall enjoying From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon. Cryptonomicon felt like work but Snow Crash and The Diamond Age were breezy yet interesting and perspective-changing.
The disc (as in a CD disc) has a format specification that is recognized by the boot firmware. That is what is being copied byte-by-byte, such that the USB drive appears as if it was a CD ROM.
I can't tell if you're serious.

Not only did Google not "force" anyone to use the LLM tech that they largely developed, most people think they're silly for inventing it and then sitting on their hands until another company (OpenAI) ate their lunch.
Where does the money come from if it doesn’t come from the people who get things from the ports? I guess you could magic away investor money and profit, but that in the long term just leads to less investment in ports and higher costs anyways. You can go about it anyway you want, but we all pay in the end for these contracts, the money doesn’t come from some magic source, in the long run inefficiency and higher costs get passed on one way or the other.

There has been many announcements of lawsuits based on antitrust in the last 3 weeks.

We can assume the message is “If you reelect the current party, we’ll finish these lawsuits.” There are two perverse effects:

- It positions the alternate party as the party that Google should sponsor,

- The good choice after reelection will then be to delay the next step of those popular antitrust cases to 3 weeks before the end of the next mandate, to tell the electors that they should reelect. Which ironically puts the current party in the position of the one doing nothing on the popular antitrust case (a corollary to “a party’s platform depends on ensuring the problems it’s supposed to solve keep existing”).
Yeah. It’s a 140 year old antique.

> You need to specify an exchange rate somewhere.

Right. As I mentioned earlier exchange rate services would need to be integrated into the API.

Also, exchange rate services would not be needed until a conversion is necessary. For instance, when adding money of different currencies internally the Money type maintains currencies separately, subtotals for USD, EUR, etc. are managed. If at a later time the sum of Money should be displayed, deposited, etc. as a single currency, only then is an exchange service involved.
What I meant is that if you don't specifically need a small int size (because for instance you are going to serialize it into a format that mandates it), and you will not deal with even moderately large ints, you will probably use int even if you could use a smaller type. I've not seen many codebases doing something else.

Of course you need to think about it. In C, but also in many languages (not python though, which magically switch to bigint when needed). In Java, the wrong int type won't cause UB, but it will throw (unchecked) exceptions.

I would never rely entirely on eBay. I am currently jousting with a scammer who I sold a MacBook Pro to and they returned one with a different serial number and claim it was broken. They bought something working from me and returned their broken one intentionally. The buyer has perfect feedback as well because there is no recourse and you can't leave feedback for them any more so you can't even identify a scammer. Finding anyone at eBay who gives a crap about this past the tracking was updated to delivered to me is impossible even though apparently I'm covered for seller protection.

I've called them a couple of times and I get the inevitable "thanks for being a loyal customer for more than 10 years speech" and then "we're sorry but there's nothing we can do". I have put over £150k through them in the last decade while emptying out two dead parents' houses which they dutifully took a 9-30% cut on.

It is the ultimate automated and unregulated bureaucracy.

I'm at the end of my tether on this so I closed my mule bank account which ebay uses and will deal with their appointed DCA instead who probably has better customer service.
Amusing that they literally have your genetic sequence data, but they won't trust anything other than a government ID with a name that matches their records.
pill press is a pill press... antique and broken does not mean it can not still be fixed. So, yes. I see the point of eBay too. But reading the messages, I am confused it the listing got removed or not. She got several temporary bans for the same listing, and never listed it again; so I can only assume it was closed (not removed?).

No tax in the wild? In my view, sure there was: you get water and share it, the other guy hunts and shares it. The fact no centralised system existed does not mean no tax on the community was levied in some way.

I’m of the opinion that 3rd party security software is malware. If it isn’t today, a future acquisition or enshittification ensures that it will be.
As someone who also has a seller account with 20+ years of history, I feel for this person. Sure, you can (probably) start a new account -- unless they're now doing some kind of Real ID validation -- but that's likely a lot of karma and "A+++ seller" reviews to build back up. I jest slightly but a track record as a trusted seller definitely does result in more business.

Also, Cassie should be aware that, historically, eBay _does not take well_ to high profile, public criticism: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236...
Maps was technically an acquisition (Where2). But like YouTube, Doubleclick, Google Docs (Writely), Translate (Word Lens), Google Flights (ITA) and many others, Google successfully grew these products into giants.

Email has surprising hurdles IMHO.

For instance it means leaving the browser and have the default email client handling it. For some people it becomes a distraction, for other they didn't even setup the default client so it's a setup screen and hey have to copy/paste the email to their gmail tab.

Other people actually don't want to give their email but will give a phone number, or their Twitter handle, a chat ID, or their address, or anything else really.

A form is more maintenance, but can be pretty beneficial to address a general public.
Plus, what you call "shitty 3G" is (a) not really that bad objectively speaking (better than dialup 20 so years ago), and (b) actually the norm for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people. I always think it's very depressing and even hypocritical how little the average SV dev cares about anyone with less than an iphone 15 with 4G in their pocket.
Regalian roles are to ensure fair competition by reducing any actor bigger than the state to something smaller, and ensuring the economy works with transparent information (no lying, rule of law, etc.)

Companies getting too big are natural; Letting them get too big is what happens when your state borrows a trillion per semester: Your state is obese, intervening in every little sector of the economy (thus the opposite of liberal), and not playing its regalian role.

You should indeed reduce the size of both the state and the largest companies, to let the economy self-regulate, but then, how would the US govern the rest of the world?

Oh, I get that. I’m saying, it barely works at even small scale, like 100 people (there are innumerable failed communes in the US), let alone a small state of a few million. I don’t think the Chinese under Mao implemented communism in any meaningful way, but that’s not proof of communism being unworkable. Its manifest failure on any scale beyond a large family is why I think it’s just not workable for society.
