tbh I have dreamt about what could be possible if we were making some sort of "closed doors" internet branch. You can access with a single account bound to you, invite only, something like PGP with a web of trust. Good "legacy" internet websites can be chained and indexed through some sort of thematical webring, with a good search and comment functionality added on top, as a global HN. Any external content is opt-in and vetted. Internal content with user rating system (not googles SEO algorithm ranked), i.e. allowing users to downvote nonsense bullshit into hell. robots on internal content are allowed through strictly controlled API that also pays original authors. Browsing automatically costs some "tokens" that are being paid towards owners of sites you visit so at least semi useful sites can sustain themselves and good ones make money, without spamming everything with ad banners or being incentivized to do ragebait-clickbait content. But thats all nonsense dreams, nobody will be willing to pay for browsing internet, even if high quality.

Hey :) I don't know how familiar you are with Nix, but the process I describe in the blog post works almost exactly as you describe:

The command `nix shell nixpkgs#qemu` puts the qemu binaries in your $PATH temporarily, you can hit Ctrl-D to leave that environment. And the Nix flake I show works similarly – the specified tools are only available to you when entering the directory where the .envrc file is.

These techniques work without other special shell/terminal software, and you can use Nix on any operating system, not only on NixOS. This is my favorite introduction to the ecosystem, I think you might like it: https://zero-to-nix.com
Then why not just tell the LLM to do the search for you?

Gitoxide – An idiomatic, lean, fast and safe pure Rust implementation of Git
Aaron Dignan's "Brave New Work" isn't particularly revolutionary, but synthesizes insights from Teal/Holacracy and other popular-but-hard-to-systematize org management stuff in a way that's very incremental and generally palatable for larger orgs. The Corporate Rebels blog (https://www.corporate-rebels.com/blog) has a lot of good content in this vein as well.

Teal hasn't really seemed to develop much except through outlets like Corporate Rebels, but IMO Holacracy has shown some real continued promise. The Zappos adoption had middling success over time (and while they're no longer practicing, their market-based model owes a lot to it), but overall Holacracy and the similar structure-heavy self-management stuff it has inspired is continuing to press on. It's not growing, but it's fairly steady. They released a new version of Holacracy a few years ago set up for "modular adoption" instead of all-at-once adoption, and I think it's a significant improvement.
When's the last time you tried that here in the US?

It's like when people claim that other countries have worse medical systems because they have to wait, as if my friend didn't just wait 2 months for a simple injection recently, and my mom isn't waiting 2 weeks for an MRI after a stroke.

The vast majority of people who insist we have the greatest healthcare don't even go to the doctor's regularly. Because they were raised in a system where going to the doctor is something you have to weigh the cost of! We have worse medical outcomes simply because people wait until a cheap situation turns into a shitty and painful and expensive situation.

Seriously, dude, it’s not worthy anymore to try and explain to you very basic stuff. Inflation is not a balance between taxation and spending. All Middle Eastern countries are having huge spending and almost zero taxes. I asked you very simple question and you couldn’t answer.

What bothers me most is why people write about things they have no clue about and clearly haven’t even put a decent thought into it.

Basically what you believe in is that the thieves are controlling the inflation because they get some of the citizens wealth.

The Ulbricht story is also in the news. I don't see that there's a ton to say about it that hasn't come up in the previous (exhaustive) discussions that you mention. The people who thought Ulbricht was prosecuted unjustly are happy and the people who didn't are less happy (unless they thought the sentence was too harsh). I suspect that we just disagree about the significance of the Musk story.

It's funny because I own such a domain. A large financial institution in my country changed its main domain name to something that had a very clear potential for a typo.

I informed them, was ignored and just registered the domain myself. I'm showing a large banner and added GDPR friendly analytics (Vince, I like its simplicity and efficiency). I'm getting a couple of victims every day.

Maybe this is a sign to get in touch again with them and if they ignore me, just publish it.
M87* One Year Later: Catching the Black Hole's Turbulent Accretion Flow
No, that's absurd for so many different reasons:

* if everyone who sold donuts suddenly went into AI there'd be a huge profit opportunity in donuts - optimizing for profits would be to wait for the other donut sellers to switch into AI and rake in the cash.

* the cost of retooling constantly based on the latest profit fad would just make the toolmakers the main profit center, and the toolmakers would just use their own gear to take all the profits in abandoned markets.

* the constant shift of areas of business would be sub-optimal because most people entering it would know nothing of how to succeed in that field, it's not optimal for your company to be incompetent in an area with much competition.

* labor costs in the "only profitable field" would be through the roof as everyone scrambled to hire competent people - not an optimal way to maximize profit in a crowded industry (also, this compounds with the above point).

In fact this idea is so bad (and yet weirdly beleived by many) that every boom there's memes and jokes about how absurd it is that random companies from completely different industries are getting involved... as if they have a chance to compete against the established players. And even more jokes about how they predictably go out of business.

The internet in general finds the black in the rainbow, Hacker News is typically better in quality of argument as it tends to attract a more intellectual crowd, but the overall tendency is the same.

Additionally, most of us are taught "hurting things is bad" as children and many adults have a hard time reconciling that we have to intentionally hurt at least some living things to live, hurt an even greater amount of living things to flourish, and at a certain point decreasing suffering in one dimension increases it in another.

For those who haven't developed a more mature framework, they tend to revert to the childhood "hurting things is bad" lesson, and an alternative framework based on nuance and context around suffering is too emotionally painful for them to accept, even if they can intellectually admit to the logic.
> top percentiles of household income but I'm not independently wealthy and I have no idea how my kids are going to make it

It might not be too late to change this. I also lucked into being in the right place at the right time (interested in computers and programming when graduating in the 2000s). But from the start my goal has been to take advantage of this extraordinary luck and become independently wealthy. My wife (who's not in tech but has a solid $80k - $100k job) and I have lived very cheaply saving more than half of our takehome pay for more than a decade now, investing it in simple index funds.

I, too, don't know what the future will hold for my kids or my career, but I'm relatively confident I've got 10 more high-earning years in me. And my spreadsheet tells me that will be enough to generate generational wealth such that my kids won't have to work if they don't want to.

This obviously isn't a solution for everyone, and I realize much of your post is about US policy. But I just wanted to point out the potential blindspot that you may have from your upbringing where "independently wealthy" people are those people over there, and not me. But with a high income and the magic of compound growth, it's not so unattainable.
I was commenting to my wife the other day... it seems to me that there are very few wild animals that just die from being too old. Not an expert, but it seems to me that most animals in the wild live until they are brutally ripped apart and eaten alive by another animal, and it's only a matter of time -- very rarely reaching an age old enough to just die.

I'll chime in here as this is (very) related to my research.

This instance of openly-registerable nameservers is just one (relatively rare) subset of a wide class of dangling DNS issues [1].

Much more common is direct mapping of names to IP addresses on cloud providers that can be obtained by attackers [2][3]. Because of the scope and lack of global visibility that often comes with cloud services, an enterprise that uses is the cloud is very likely to have some vulnerabilitity like this under some subdomain.

Unfortunately bug bounty programs often blanket exclude any form of "subdomain takeover" as a valid security threat, despite the fact that they're easily exploitable once discovered. We have internal (and public[4]) data showing all manner of sensitive information leaked as a result of this sort of configuration mismanagement.

Ultimately, as others have observed, the current vulnerability disclosure landscape makes it far too easy for corporations to weasel out of acknowledging bona fide vulnerabilities, and of course ethical and legal expectations make it impossible for good-faith researchers to meet the bar of proof expected by these providers.

To others' comments: yes, these vulnerabilities are trivially exploited to provision TLS certificates in practice, a risk that is unfortunately downplayed.

At Georgia Tech I had one class (CS 2110) that dealt with implementing a simple in-order non-pipelined processor, one class that dealt with implementing a pipelined processor (CS 2210), then two classes (CS 4290 and CS 3220 IIRC) that dealt with implementing an out-of-order processor (4290 was more theory and also covered caches; 3220 was entirely implementing it on an FPGA). So, that sort of thing does exist, but IDK if most universities will let you take single classes like that
You need to take a break and actually think about what you've claimed to have read about exporting inflation.

A few hours ago you had no clue what it was, and skimming a few articles has not yet meaningfully improved upon that.

FWIW - I wrote this after starting to respond to the strong USD vs exporting inflation nonsense. Again you're having a 'I don't understand why destroyed homes cause tornadoes' moment.

I enjoy a good debate but this nonsense on loop paired with your somewhat bizarre belief that places like Japan are great to live (for average locals) is too much.

> Leaders do not select their teams, instead, teams select their spokesperson. A spokesperson does not have authority over the team but can make decisions on their behalf in conversation with other spokespeople.

I have seen this and result is that no one wants to be the spokesperson except really really aggressive people able to bully others into compliance. Because the "spokeperson" gets to experience all the negative consequences of the decisions without having the authority to do anything about it. They are effectively secretaries. Most people, including good leaders, nope out.

Memory as recursion and the key to step toward AGI.

The trick is recursive self-control of attention while being battered by 1001 input streams. Perhaps better to think about “input” as interrupt requests that a “self” must evaluate and usually ignore to stay on tasks: Making all of those sandwiches!

Bodies may be essential soon along with all of the hard knocks of selection as motivation to memorize, learn, adapt.

Here is a great book that Terry Winograd and Fernando Flores read very carefully:

“Autopoiesis and Cognition: The Realization of the Living” by Maturana and Valera (1980).

This intense book is an axiomatic approach to life and cognition. Enactivist philosophers are now extending their original insights:

1: Terrence W. Deacon: Incomplete Nature

2. Evan Thompson: Mind in Life

3. Luis Favela: The Ecological Brain: Unifying the Sciences of Brain, Body, and Environment

4: Alva Noë: Out of Our Heads

5: Terry Winograd and Fernando Flores: Understanding Computers and Cognition

6: Douglas Hofstadter: I Am a Strange Loop

Pretty sure that Demis Hassabis, Rich Sutton, and Karl J. Friston. Like Maturana and Valera, all three of them have strong backgrounds in neuroscience.

Different people may have different preferences and tastes in things. Playing a specific old game may be nostalgic for someone, but for others, it might be comforting, or maybe some other reason. I might not understand it, but I don't have to, but you just have to respect it and let them enjoy what they like. I undoubtedly have my own idiosyncratic gaming selections that others may or may not align with.

It's the lack of supply that is the reason why having a mortgage market is a bad idea.

You HAVE to live somewhere. This means any cash you can get your hands on, such as a mortgage, it's going to be used to compete with all the other people who need to live somewhere.

The problem can be solved in two ways. Either you make it really hard to get a mortgage, or you make enough houses that people are not competing over musical chairs.

Cost of healthcare:

There are a bunch of numbers that are trivially accessible via Google, including government sources, but I couldn’t find any that match perfectly with the time range of the wage data.

Here is one quote, from a few years earlier…

> Median annual out-of-pocket spending on medical care ranged from $360 (Hawaii) to $1,500 (Nebraska). In four states, households in the top 10 percent of out-of-pocket expenses spent $7,000 or more on these items.

I felt the same when Biden pardoned the judge who put kids in jail for pay, or the nursing home CEO who took money away from the elderly to buy yachts, but I'd decided that pardons were effectively for sale (tho likely by barter) -- seeing Biden close out his term and Trump open his term with pardons has been kind to those who'd like to compare and contrast, but they both mostly just appear to be paying down debts.
