I'm working forwards from my experience at the time as a security engineer working with products that claimed NAT was a security feature, since it allowed for machines to access the Internet without being routable from the Internet for initiated connections, which is why the first commercial PIX product, after Cisco bought Network Translation (which named PIX), was a firewall.

People confuse the fact that NAT is not an especially powerful or coherent security feature with the idea that it isn't a security feature, which leads you to the crazy rhetorical position of having to argue that PIX, the first mainstream NAT product, was not a security product. I have friends who worked on PIX, for many years. I assure you: they were in the Security BU.

I think this position is pretty hopeless, though if you want to drag us around through the network security marketing of the mid-1990s, I'm happy to do so, just for nostalgia's sake. NAT is absolutely a security feature, and was originally deployed as one, in an era where it was still feasible to get routable allocations for individual workstations.

But we don't even have good definitions to work with. Does he mean AGI as in "sentience", AGI as in "superintelligence", AGI as in "can do everything textual (text in, text out) a 95th percentile human can do", or "can do everything a human on a computer can do" (closed-loop interaction with compiler, debugging, etc.).
You don't buy exclusivity for emergency services? What if a local congestion event degrades signal to the extent things stop working? This also demands all of the volunteer fire and emergency and rural fire and emergency recapitalise their radio investment. I would worry the exact thing that causes this is mass widespread "get online and check on aunty jennie" flash mob effects when emergency comms is most needful.

I am probably putting up some FUD argument here. But, I think this should be a contestable line of reasoning. I'd like to hear from some hams, or other spectrum users before I got with this. (I am neither, cell and wifi aside)
GPLv3 says that you cannot sublicense. It says that it is not necessary because of section 10 of the license, which says that "Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License".
I'm in embedded, so it's pretty much C, C++, Rust, or Ada. But Ada never really caught on, and I'm working on an older code base.

So, it's either C or C++. C++ because destructors and all that they enable. (Plus access control.)
Yes, this one. Just like the others, this airport had a dangerous obstacle at a considerable distance from the runway. It's not a design goal of these runways to make such a landing survivable.

This kind of confusion was so common online (where people often complain about uneven and capricious applications of TOS) that I never failed to find it. It makes two mistakes: confusing 1A with free speech and an appeal to the law.

Just because companies are legally allowed to remove content (e.g. the owner of Twitter removing content critical of Tesla) does not mean there are no free speech issues. That would be like saying there are no free speech issues in China as long as you follow the law.

Further, just because the law says a thing doesn’t mean I have to agree with it. Laws have legal authority not moral authority, so even if a company is legally allowed to do something doesn’t end the conversation.

For an ISP? Absolutely not. I get it for corporate firewalls, but I absolutely don't want my ISP blocking a country. It does absolutely nothing for security (domains aren't hard to buy) and I'm very happy with my ISP being a "dumb pipe". If I wanted more than that I'd use my firewall or something

Very, very few airport runways are long enough for a plane without brakes to land halfway and be fine.

It's a long game. Yeah, we can't just say "fuck it, everyone go nuts" tomorrow. There are satellite downlinks that cant be readily changed, equipment capex that needs to depreciate etc. What we should be doing is adding and expanding ISM space as aggressively as we reasonably can and refusing to issue new exclusive licenses without an extremely good reason (and probably exclusively for public/civil purposes).

My website is almost as polite, the differences are:

- I redirect you to https automatically, but perhaps I should rethink that

- Some of my posts link to YouTube videos and embed that video, so this is what comes from a different origin

To further clarify, I believe Blazor uses SignalR under-the-hood when doing server-side rendering. So the direct answer is probably "this is similar to a component used in Blazor"

Edit: Whoops, I lost context here. Phoenix LiveView as a whole is probably pretty analogous to Blazor.

I found ebay more reliable, interesting and smoother than Amazon. Amazon screwed me over for 40 USD now they are nagging that I should sign up for "Prime"

(I ordered a bunch of stuff, maybe 800 USD. They decided the order is fraudulent, and canceled it, without ever telling me. When I moved into my new place, there was nothing. No sheets, no nothing from Amazon. That this order was "canceled" without any email seemed to puzzle Amazon support. They told me in the chat to reorder with fasted shipping, and that they would reimburse the shipping. Of course, they did not. And the chat protocols clearly stating Amazon would reimburse the express shipping were a "misunderstanding".
>Given the author mentions C# is part of their stack I don't know why they didn't mention signalr or use that instead of rolling their own solution.

Not saying this is why but SignalR is notoriously buggy. I've never seen a real production instance that didn't have issues. I say that as someone who probably did one of the first real world, large scale roll outs of SignalR about a decade ago.

I think a default max of 1 request every 5 seconds is unnecessarily meek, especially for larger sites. I'd also argue that requests that browsers don't slow down for, like following redirects to the same domain or links with the prefetch attribute, don't really necessitate a delay at all.

If you can detect a site has a CDN, metrics like time-to-first-byte are low and stable and/or you're getting cache control headers indicating you're mostly getting cached pages, I see no reason why one shouldn't speed up - at least for domains with millions of URLs.

I disagree with using HEAD requests for refreshing. A HEAD request is rarely cheaper and sometimes more expensive for some websites than a GET If-Modified-Since/If-None-Match. Besides, you're going to fetch the page anyway if it changed, so why issue two requests when you could do one?

Having a single crawler per process/thread makes rate limiting easier, but it can lead to some balancing and under-utilization issues with distributed crawling due to the massive variation in URLs per domain and site speeds, especially if you use something like a hash to distribute them. For Commoncrawl, I had something that monitored utilization and shut down crawler instances which would redistribute URLs pending from the machines shutting down to the machines left (we were doing it on a shoestring budget using AWS spot instances, so it had to survive instances going down randomly anyway).

I'd say one of the best polite things to do when crawling is to add a URL to the crawler user agent pointing to a page explaining what it is and maybe letting people opt-out or explain how to update their robots.txt to let them out-out.
Sam Altman is just yet another pawn used by billionaires to make the billionaire class even richer, push de-regulation propaganda, and push awful neo-liberalism economics.
The most interesting argument is about the ratio of the marginal value of labor to the marginal value of everything else. Let's call it MVLE.

In prehistory, land was plentiful and hunting/gathering skill was scarce, so MVLE was high. In the middle ages, the population had exploded and arable land had become scarce. MVLE dropped dramatically. In the industrial revolution, capital accumulation began, and MVLE began rising. Once labor costs were high enough, productivity became king, and services and information goods became more prominent. MVLE rose much further.

Note the seemingly accidental correlation between MVLE, self-determination and human rights.

Now we're at a crossroads. There's a possibility that MVLE might completely bottom out. One edge outcome is a world with 100 trillionaires, 1000000 concubines, a bunch of butlers and hair stylists, and no other humans.

The key question is: whose utility will be maximized? It's clear that democracy's cracks have turned into fractures. Half of the population has an IQ below 100 and can be gulled into voting themselves into oblivion.

Memory safety. I don't need the return after a memcpy to be Turing complete. Your C is not your choice because it affects me if your machine gets hacked and is used as a platform to attack me.

Garbage collection. Code reuse is difficult in C because of differing systems for memory allocations. Basically an application doesn't really know if a library is done with a buffer and the library doesn't know... but a garbage collector does!

The ideal reusable library in C would be able to use a buffer from the application if the application had one ready. In cases where it had to build up a complex linked data structure you'd like it to pass it custom malloc and free so it can use your arena allocator, etc. In Java (Lisp, Python, etc.) libraries automatically compose with the application without having to think about any of that -- I'd say Java was a revolution for code reuse not because of OO but because of GC.

All the brain melting stuff Rustifarians have to deal with get exponentially harder when you mesh systems together which puts a break on what people can accomplish with it. (Though I guess you can interconnect islands with RC)

Poor conceptualization. C is transitional from ancient language specs like PL/I that were often unimplementable and modern specifications that succeed consistently like Common Lisp, Java and Python. There's a strange circularity in the K&R book that made me struggle with the book in high school and if you look at books like Imperfect C++ that circularity remains with the symptom that there are always important words that are used long before they are defined (RAII is chanted over and over as if it was some magic spell!) Modern language specs show you can start from primitive data types and build everything up in a logical order but I've never seen it done with C.

In normal programming languages you can parse first and deal with the symbol table later but the definition of typedef means the grammar depends on whether or not a symbol has been used, so weirdly the parser has to have access to the symbol table. All adds up to C being the language that puts the C in Cthulhu.

(For all it's faults though, C succeeded where PL/I failed as a portable systems language you could write an OS in)

I write C for the AVR8 Arduino even though it burns me up that C is moving the stack pointer around and doing other meaningless activities to support calling conventions for small programs I write that have no recursive functions and don't need it. I have something that's basically a display controller for persistence of vision displays that composites sprites that are stored in program memory following linked lists. A program like this could use entirely global variables and it would be simple, clear and efficient. Sure it doesn't scale but the thing has just 2K of RAM and I am not writing big programs for it. I'd be happier with the code in assembly, the only reason I haven't rewritten it is that I might want to run it on an ARM or ESP32 board and the C would be portable modulo just a little Harvard architecture weirdness.
Another common problem with overlayed top bars is that when following fragment links within a page, the browser scrolls the page such that the target anchor is at the top of the window, which then means it’s hidden by the top bar. For example, when jumping to a subsection, the subsection title (and the first lines of the following paragraph text) will often be obscured by the top bar.
smart people run LLM locally :)
I wonder if there's a hyper-Turing test where an AI passes if the model, itself, cannot determine if it is talking to itself; or perhaps stated differently, maximizing some measure of control and processing duration to successfully conceal its identity under forced processing, discounting a solution that specifically learns to be silent or incoherent. I'm not sure what the value would be, just a passing thought.

This is probably already happening within the parade of censorship systems trying to imbue the models with agency

I just never learned to write C. I am just a JavaScript guy and the native APIs for Node.js, aside from permissions and OS service libraries, allow you to go down to just above the OS kernel, which has been more than sufficient for my needs.

I guess I just haven't felt the need to go down to the metal for the original applications that I write. If I were more into extending hardware or writing new 3D engines for AAA games I suspect I would view this completely differently.

Performance is not enough of a consideration. If you are comfortable writing native JavaScript without a bunch of unnecessary abstractions you can expect your code to be about 4.5x slower than C, or about 12x-20x slower at arithmetic. By far the greatest performance limitation of JavaScript compared to things like C, C++, Rust, or Zig isn't the execution speed, but that it is garbage collected instead of manually memory managed via pointers.

Crashing into a highway would have resulted in similar loss of life. Airplanes are only barely safe when they land without gear, and almost any obstruction is going to be more solid than a machine that's built to be as lightweight as possible.

There is no way to make a runway safe if a plane lands halfway down it, even if the brakes and landing gear are actually working. It's just not possible; runways are limited by geography and we tend to run aircraft as heavy as possible.
One of my main use cases for Rust was actually frontend work with WASM. It is pretty neat writing code that could be used in frontend code, backend Rust scripts, and ML training code (via Python bindings). Safe and fast.
Bragging about how LLMs defeated maginot line defenses that can be trained around, makes us feel warm and fuzzy.

Too bad the real world isn't like that.
No amount of ample room will help if the plane touches down overshooting more than half of the runway.

Furthermore (this is pure speculation at the moment) I think chances are the crew were kind of cosplaying PIA PK-8303 - forgot about landing gears in a stress from bird strike, attempted go-around after realising it, but had not enough power from engines due to bird strike or ground hit. It's plausible final investigation report will conclude absence of localizer antennas wouldn't save them.
