I think electricity grids are very very impressive. Even the US' which is considered out of date works in that it spreads across the entire country, needs to meet demand and supply down to milliseconds, has do many points that withdraw power and points that add power to the grid. Crazy stuff

i think it's because openai makes a bunch of money off "AI stuff" by being regarded the best at this game... and guess what, there's a new player that makes "AI stuff" as good as them (or possibly better) and maybe even cheaper. this could be a threat to their source of revenue.

Meta on the other hand makes money off whatsapp, facebook, instagram and threads. for meta an additional provider of "AI stuff" is not a threat to their source of revenue.

If CEOs are the alphas, then why are some of them so submissive recently to a certain someone? The alpha male mythos tells me that these men have huge amounts of agency and power and yet...they make a big show of turning themselves into lapdogs? The Internet says thats not alpha behavior!

It's almost as if reality is more nuanced than what 4Chan taught us: CEOs have people they need to answer to, people they're scared of, and that's part of what it means to be a human.

By forgetting. Copying `if err != nil` is a mundane and repetitive process, it's easy for your brain to go into auto-pilot.

> And no, pattern matching doesn't help you here as you still need to document what happens on those pattern matches. If you forget to document these cases you've still got the very same undefined behaviour. There is no escaping the need for the tests.

Pattern matching (with algebraic data types/enum/unions) helps because it forces you to check the error. It becomes impossible to use a return value without checking the error.

How much are you willing to pay for this?

If Congress voted for 50% taxation and could somehow prove to you that it was all going to care for those less fortunate than you, would you be okay with that? 75%? 90%?

What quality of life are you aiming for the recipients? Do they each get a cot in a shelter? Their own room? Their own apartment or house? Do they get it with no strings attached or do they have to try to improve their own lot while the taxpayer helps them?

How long do we want to extend lives for? Surely we all agree on medication and life-saving care for children. Should a 95 year old get hundreds of thousands of dollars to extend their lives for 6 months?

I used to put the ISC license in the header of every file when I first started sharing code online under open source licenses. But eventually I realized that a single LICENSE file is best, instead of having the header in all of the files.
Thanks! Does the article accurately describe the PITA in your experience? Because it seems to say that it's separable from the core architectural principle of event sourcing.
That is the dilemma for democracy, isn't it?

It is obvious to anyone that well raised children provide a huge ROI...but not to a large portion of voters due to the shape of the population histogram. Instead, countries are spending tons and tons of resources on 80+ year olds' dialysis, heart bypasses, hip replacements diabetes management, and end of life care. And keeping their property taxes low even though they live in large houses on large lots. Cold or hot, there is obviously no ROI there.

You haven’t made any compelling case about anything, changed my mind, or altered my behavior. But if it helps you sleep at night to believe that, then go ahead.

For what it’s worth: I continued to engage because I used to be like you - argumentative, hyper assured of my own intelligence, and certain I was correct about everything. I wish someone had pointed out earlier that I was being a massive asshole.

Hence, trying to politely engage with you a bit. I feel like it’s the kind thing to do.

Gender. The observed behavior among humans is clearly very complex, but the right keeps insisting that its binary/immutable map is the territory. This leads to recent moves like the administration saying that trans people are inherently dishonest and saying false things -- which is a claim about objective reality, and specifically that the simplistic map they have is reality.

Note, I am not saying that gender is just a social construct. It isn't, there are clearly deep affinities and anti-affinities related to gender built into our brain wiring. But it's not as simple as the right makes it out to be either.

> As an example, a leftist over-simplifies that all group disparities must be caused by systemic injustice.

As someone on the left I don't believe this at all. I think systemic injustice explains a large part of disparities but not all of them. I'm not a fan of univariate or monocausal explanations in general.
It's awfully convenient that the smartphone came along to assuage any riotous behavior.
It is specifically running applications that always trips me up here. As a user/operator of the computer, I have been bitten by applications being too locked down for them to be useful in the past. I /think/ we have gotten better such that it is easy to have better OS behavior when it wants to restrict an application. But specifically sandboxing by default has been a source of terrible application behavior for me, in the past. Is a lot like using a shadow banned account where everything looks correct, but nothing is actually showing up. Very confusing.

Now, I think your point on restricting the libraries that are imported to a program makes a ton of sense. I'm not entirely clear where I would want the "breaker box" of what an application is allowed to do to be located, but it is crazy how much just importing some library will do in many programs.

Thank you for bringing up the Korean struggle; the main difference seems to be that South Korea has since acknowledged the injustice and brutality exercised by the military and brought those responsible to "justice" (in quotation marks as many were pardoned "in the name of national reconciliation").

I think your point about the grift is well-put.

But I disagree with your comment about YouTube. I think YouTube recommendations work extremely well, and I only see videos that are related to the 5-6 topics I am exploring on YouTube in the previous few weeks. And when I explore a new topic I start seeing those recommendations instead.

Not that I care as much these days, but would I have liked routine Mach 2 flight that my company would have paid for when I was traveling a lot? Absolutely. But that wasn't in the cards.

And the relatively fewer flights I take today for relatively longer trips in general, I mostly look at paying an extra $5K and think "I could do a lot more interesting things with that money than be more comfortable for some hours" (or hypothetically, save a few hours). And I suspect most people here would be in the same boat if it came to putting cash down on the barrel.

Yes, and Chrome's Mojo IPC system is actually one of the only parts of the codebase that's neatly factored out (somewhat) into a reusable library.

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/mojo...

In the past I used the Java SecurityManager to do a PoC PDF renderer that sandboxed the Apache PDFbox library. I lowered the privilege of the PDF rendering component and tested it with a PDF that exploited an old XXE vulnerability in the library. It worked! Unfortunately, figuring out how to do that wasn't easy and the Java maintainers got tired of maintaining something that wasn't widely used, so they ripped it out.

There are some conceptual and social difficulties with this kind of security, at some point I should write about them.

1. People get distracted by the idea of pure capability systems. See the thread above. Pure caps don't work, it's been tried and is an academic concept that nothing real uses but which sucks up energy and mental bandwidth.

2. People get distracted by speculation attacks. In process sandboxing can't stop sandboxed code from reading the address space, so this is often taken as meaning everything has to be multi-process (like Mojo). But that's not the case. Speculation attacks are read only attacks. To do anything useful you have to be able to exfiltrate data. A lot of libraries, if properly restricted, have no way to exfiltrate any data they speculatively access. So in-process sandboxing can still be highly useful even in the presence of Spectre. At the same time, some libraries DO need to be put into a separate address space, and it may even change depending on how it's used. Mojo is neat partly because it abstracts location, allowing components to run either inproc or outproc and the calling code doesn't know.

3. People get distracted by language neutrality. Once you add IPC you need RPC, and once you add RPC it's easy to end up making something that's fully language neutral so it turns into a fairly complex IDL driven system. The SecurityManager was nice because it didn't have this problem.

4. Kernel sandboxing is an absolute shitshow on every OS. Either the APIs are atrocious and impossible to figure out, or they're undocumented, or both, and none of them provide sandboxing at the right level e.g. you can't allow a process to make HTTP requests to specific hosts because the kernel doesn't know anything about HTTP.

Sandboxing libraries effectively is still IMHO an open research problem. The usability problems need someone to crack it, and it'll probably be language/runtime specific when they do even if libraries like Mojo are sitting there under the hood.
Your statement only makes sense if you assume growth. At steady state investments into e.g stocks and direct transfers is about the same thing.

And ye, if the economy shrinks so will pensions. But that would be the case for stock investments too.
Thanks! I was in between meetings so didn't have time to elaborate.

I love the `ia` tool, but it drives me crazy that it can't resume a failed download. Some files are fast (~30 meg/sec). Others are painfully slow (~100 kb/sec). The same collection can contain fast and slow downloads.

I had a file that kept failing when using ia, after about 6 hours of downloading at the slow speed. I switched to Chrome, which still downloaded at the slow speed, but Chrome would attempt to automatically resume the download, and if that failed, you can press a button to ask Chrome to try to resume it again. I have had to fall back to that clunky solution several times.

My only other concern is that ia does not download files in parallel.

Aside from my minor complaints, I'm thankful that it exists, and I have told other about it since discovering it myself in the last few months.
Yes. It does a lot for you and you can add features and explore ideas quickly. The batteries are included.

I do know Ruby well though.

Maybe jQuery is seen as outdated in the backend world, but I can assure you that in the webdev world jQuery and Javascript are almost entirely synonymous.

Someone might try to say that hammers are outdated in a world where a nailgun exists, but I can assure you the hardware store sells a lot more hammers than they do nailguns. (In this analogy jQuery would be a hammer and vanilla javascript would be pounding in nails with a big dumb rock).

This user is a passionate advocate for privacy and a critic of corporate data practices, often challenging the status quo and pushing for more transparent and user-controlled solutions. They frequently discuss AI, local computing, and the importance of ethical tech practices.

Roast

It looks like this user's love for Rust is only rivalled by their love for roasting Apple. Maybe they'll start a support group for fellow Apple critics?

With all the talk about local AI and self-hosted solutions, it's a wonder this user doesn't have their own personal cloud yet. Maybe they're just waiting for the perfect moment to launch their own 'private' empire.

This user's comments are so detailed, it's like they have a PhD in Privacy. Maybe they should start a blog to share all that knowledge—or better yet, a book!

You phrasing it like this is not a substitute for explaining why it wouldn't be those things.

Also, the most obvious thing is: if you're a healthcare provider, you would probably hire some hackers to go after your competition, and let heavy-handed fines take them down. Much easier than providing better value.
I think the Fediverse took this role for a lot of groups, since it's not trying to show everything to everyone by default, but trying to attract accounts with similar interests to the same servers, and then have some limited cross-server interaction.

A lot of these kinds of problems go away with vertical integration and limited scope. E.g. if you only want to make phone calls and send SMS (or the internet application of your choice) so you can call it a phone, it's not terrible. You can write that. When you want to run a massive black box like Firefox on top of another massive black box like a proprietary GPU, it is terrible.
This depends pretty heavily on the repo.
Out of curiosity, I just downloaded DeepSeek.

I gave it an easy one, “How many of the actors from the original Star Trek are still alive”. It gave me accurate information as of its training cut off date. But ChatGPT automatically did a web search to validate its answer. I had to choose the search option for it to look up later info.

With ChatGPT even when it doesn’t do a web search automatically, I can either tell it to “validate this” or put in my prompt “validate all answers by doing a web lookup”.

Then I gave it a simple compounding interest problem with monthly payments and wanted a month by month breakdown. DeepSeek used its multi step reasoning like o1 and was slower. ChatGPT 4o just created a Python script and used its internal Python interpreter.

Then DeepSeek started timing out.

This is the presentation of “what are some of the best places to eat in Chicago?”

It doesn’t show on the shared link. But in the app it gives you a map of the restaurants or you can choose a list.

I can’t share a conversation with DeepSeek (?). But suffice it to say, the interface wasn’t as good.

I’m not saying the underlying technology of DeepSeek isn’t “good enough”. But the end user product is severely lacking.
That's capitalism.
I think Mastodon vs Bluesky is an example. Mastodon, being OSS developed in someone's spare time (I think he makes a meager salary off grants and donations now) is barely marketed. Bluesky, being a multi-billionaire's pet project, had plenty of marketing. As a result, everyone who complained about the lack of free speech on X still ignored Mastodon, the actually-free-speech-host-your-own-server-how-you-want-it platform, for an entire year, instead preferring to wait for Bluesky, the billionaire-owned-and-operated exact-copy-of-early-Twitter where a different billionaire still controls your speech, to come out instead.
This may surprise you, but US citizens travel. And US citizens get sick in other countries. Unless you want to argue that we should take away rights from US citizens and either prevent them from entering the country, unlawfully detain them or prevent them from leaving.
Excited to take a look at this. I did attempt some diagramming with AI tools late last year (ChatGPT and Claud) . The results [0] were mixed: they were pretty good at whiteboarding but horrible at generating system diagrams from an existing codebase.

Process-per-site isolation doesn't necessarily have to use (much) more memory.

If you pre-initialize the renderer and JavaScript engine and then fork that pre-warmed instance for each site, every page of memory not written to remains shared in physical memory.

Properly accounting for that in task managers is hard, though; on many OSes, Chrome's memory usage looks much scarier than it is in reality.
This is not what I would consider a warm intro. I mean that someone within the company or who is a friend of friend of someone in the company can vouch for the candidate, or has some specific reason for referring (like a project they were impressed by).
You shouldn't have to propose a solution to complain about a problem.
If you have lots of money you can also squander it on pointless and unnecessary things for no reason.

That's not an investment though. I believe electrification of transport is. Your term "premium goods" sounds a bit more frivolous.
Google Gemini does this as well.

You can see it generate half an answer and then it reports something along the lines of "I cannot do that, as I am only a language model."
I suppose it's a good thing, then, that I have no power over you - beyond that which you may have created de novo, by choosing to care about my opinion - and therefore have no means of exercising tyranny.

100% this is one of those changes that makes me doubtful of Bitwarden being a well maintained service in perpetuity.

Like, if this change was an accident and slipped through that is bad. If it was approved, it's even worse because as you said, it shows that the person who is in charge of how we, the users, interact with the product day-to-day doesn't understand the product or doesn't take their role seriously.
