If you skip the async stuff, Rust in WASM works quite well. I also found that Go has quite good WASM support.

I think the "WASM as containers" and "WASM as .jar" approaches are rather silly, but language support is good enough to use the technology if you think it's a match. I don't think it will be for most, but there are use cases where pluggable modules with very limited API access are necessary, and for those use cases WASM works.

Plus, if you want to run any kind of game engine in the browser, you're going to need WASM. While I'm not replacing my Steam install with a browser any time soon, I have found that WASM inside itch.io runs a lot faster and more stable than Winlator when I'm on my Android tablet.
Sadly, this kind of brings back memories of a few regimes employing criminals for enforcement.
Yeah I agree, they just threw a tantrum for their local audience. I wonder, why they just don't make AI generate these tantrums instead actually annoying everybody.
> Any new style will look bad, simply because it is new to us.

I agree that new styles and syntaxes can take some getting used to. When I went from Pascal to C, braces seemed awful but I now think punctuation is much clearer than words for delimiting blocks.

But the discussion here is about whether to introduce a new clearer style. Taken on this context, your comment amounts to defending any existing syntax, no matter how horrific, because you'll get used to it eventually.
> The danger of something like AI+drones (or less imminent, AI+bioengineering) can lead to a severe degradation of security, like after the invention of nuclear weapons.

You don't justify or define "severe degradation of security" just assert it as a fact.

The advent of nuclear weapons has meant 75 years of relative peace which is unheard of in human history, so quite the opposite.

Given that AI weapons don't exist, then you've just created a straw man.
> Movement is as much a visual pollution as light is.

I find more so, especially when it happens in my peripheral vision. It can be irritating enough for me walking past overly animated displays in shops, I bet it could be dangerously distracting for some drivers (who aren't always giving as much attention to the road ahead as they should be anyway) going past street or shop window signs.

> though it isn't a problem to add lights.

Does backlighting eink work? I think all the hand-held displays I've experienced have been lit from the sides. That is probably practical though: the old posters-on-a-roll setups seen in highstreets were often lit that way and with modern bulbs it wouldn't consume as much power these days.

> Banning moving images … e-ink screens could then still be allowed.

I would be wary of that loophole. I've seen some impressive displays of quick refresh rates for e-ink, so playing distracting video content would be perfectly possible assuming those techniques scale to this size, and if advertisers can do it they will whether it is good for anyone else or not.
I have been reading a LOT on the topic. The date ranges usually from 1700-1200, mostly skewing towards 1700-1500. Mostly they date it based on stylistic reasons and things mentioned in them, that seem to correlate with those timeframes.
> You don't make rules by writing several hundred pages of legalese as a litigator, you make rules by creating products and defining the market.

That is completely wrong, at least if rules = the law. You might create fancy products all you like, if they do not adhere to the law in any given market, they cannot be sold there.

Yes, it's better now, at least on the Reader app that I've tried.
If the AI content is good enough, nobody will use it, or at least not in the numbers that Audible et similia had before. It will just be a tiny minority following their principles.

We lived this already with social networks. Initially us tech enthusiasts were all like "it will democratize access to news, it democratize producing the news! curated work will still be there, it's a net gain". And we all saw how it actually developed. As someone on the Internet said, I want AI to do my laundry and repeating task so I can do art or other more interesting things, I don't want AI to do arts and force me to do laundry by hand because due to AI taking my job now I don't have money to pay for a washing machine.

It bear a question whether it is possible to trigger Internet Archive to backup the whole website and data for future reference.
Depends on what it is. Apps absolutely shouldn't be geo-blocked. While I agree that other media shouldn't be geo-blocked, it's more to do with distribution rights and licensing deals and isn't really something Apple can solve for directly, save to support banning the practice in the EU. The EU needs to focus on Hollywood for movies and the music industry to deal with that.
> you set a target temp

You should be able to set 2 temps.

Early morning in summer: temperature is under 15°C, no need to heat over 20°C. Evening: outside is 30°C, I don't need 20°C in the car anymore but 25ish would be perfect. A 2 temperatures setting or 1 temperature + delta would prevent having to change it every time I enter the car.
That’s what’s planned next :)

> But then you've got to figure out and prevent all the security holes that can be introduced by adding file access, networking, etc. [...] Maybe put the whole thing into a container?

Since this is an emerging ecosystem, why not take a different spin on security, and instead try e.g. capabilities? Instead of opening a connection to the DB, or a listening socket, you get FDs from your runtime. Instead of a path where you can read/write files, such as assets or local cache, you get a directory FD from openat (not sure right now if that could be bypassed with "..", but you get the idea).

Bonus: you can get hot code reloading for very cheap.
In other words they get triggered from words that don't mean that thing. Sounds like EU should develop a politically correct language for Americans. That's synthetic Woke, which is ironic.

I wonder if the new Woke should be called Neo-Woke, where you pretend to be mean to certain group of people to accommodate other group of people who suffered from accommodating another group of people.

IMHO all this needs to be gone and just be like "don't discriminate, be fair" but hey I'm not the trend setter.
No one in particular. Russia would be one current example, Israel (and others in the region at various times) another, the US and Germany historically, the Romans, the Ottomans, China, Japan, Britain, Spain, warlords in the western sahara, the kid at school who wanted the other kids' lunch money.

The idea though is that if everyone suddenly disarmed overnight it would be so highly advantageous to a deviant aggressor that one would assuredly emerge.
But that would allow you to pack more in the same distance. Oh, damn, you now nerd-sniped me to consider the Kissing Number of 747s.
you are comparing what is possible but can be slow with blobless with what is impossible with shallow, which is unfair.

I think we're forgetting something.

As far as I understand, most of the leaders of the historical NSDAP (the Nazi party) / the Nazi regime were not Nazis themselves, insofar as they did not believe in whatever was written in Mein Kampf. Nazism was just a mean to grab and hold power. The true believers were basically victims of a con.

So... I don't care whether Elon Musk is actually a Nazi. I do believe that he is willing to use Nazism as a lever, which makes him much more dangerous.

I don't think that WASM will replace containers. They will continue to move closer to each other but still have their advantages in different fields.

Right now I can run containers and WASM workloads in the same k8s clusters. I dont even have to think about it with runtimes like crun/youki or wasmedge. The OCI image format is the universal package format. It always has all its need and the tooling is broad and mature.

With containers I can basically put any app in any language in there and it just runs. WASM support is far from that, there is migration toil. Containers are and will be more flexible then WASM

> Sticking one's arm out is not a "Nazi salute" in the absence of an ideological component.

What?

So showing someone the middle finger straight in the face without also verbally expressing it (aka. showing their ideological component, to be as vague as you were), is not a bad thing at all, but an entirely neutral finger gesture, too?

Also: how can someone honestly compare the static images provided with Musk's salute. Apart from comparing static images being nonsensical when it's about a salute; even the referenced images are chosen so badly, that they look nothing like a Nazi salute. Like, you need to be aware of you mental gymnastics.
Should we have a content warning for all the bad stuff happening here? Holy shit, I am in tears after two paragraphs.
I don't see why the early Levant migration should in any way be contradicted by what you list. As for the list, all of that is consistent with the accepted interbreeding with Neanderthals, Denisovans and possibly other (related or unrelated to N or D) earlier migrants. It's about acquiring some genes from those people, which in no way contradicts Out of Africa and the African bottleneck. How could acquiring some genes from earlier populations be inconsistent with an African bottleneck affecting Sapiens? BTW there were apparently more than one bottleneck, at different times.

> Bus advertising.

If what I see on busses around here (York, UK, and occasionally other cities) is anything to go by, bus-side advertising is dying on its arse. Most of the busses I see are carrying adverts for sales that ended months ago of films “in cinemas now!” that stopped playing on the big screen a year or more ago. If bus-side adverting were in a healthy state I'd have thought new content would have replaced those long ago.
I give the benefit of doubt for mp3, since the format is simply flawed even with all the LAME magic (e.g. https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=LAME_Y_switch). Though the differences mostly remain in the realm of ABX competition, especially with VBR (always use VBR).

But for Vorbis, AAC and Opus with decent encoder/bitrate, I doubt it. Baring killer samples like castanets showing pre-echo issues inherent to some MDCT based codecs.

Just because it's part of the government doesn't mean it can do whatever it wants. Especially since none of its members are elected representatives.

I don't know, just google "doge illegal". I don't feel like "DOGE is operating extra-legally" is a particularly contentious fact.
You're designing the controls for the area you live in and for your driving patterns now.

There's some famous electric car manufacturer that did the same. His products were unusable in some locales even before he went all political.
> Source? All I saw were comments on illegal migration.

No, you are correct, how I worded it "him criticizing it", is flat out wrong. The thought was that he supports the AfD who are lying through their teeth about it, and while I can elaborate on that, it would be with mostly German source material because I don't know or care what of that is described how by English speakers.

> > Lying and censoring are two sides of the same coin.

> False. Lying is exercising your right to free speech, politicians do it constantly with little to no consequences yet Musk is the problem when he does it?

It's also the other side of the same coin when politicians do it. You just said "false" followed by a question that makes no sense. The objective is to distort the truth and deceive in both cases. You can do that by taking something away, or a part of it, or adding to it, or changing something. And they usually come hand in hand. To tell a lie, you have to hide the truth, to hide the truth, you have to tell a (white) lie.

> ah yes, the famous legacy media that "never" lies to you [..] Do you realize how biased and shallow your arguments are?

Your straw man isn't my argument.

I've made a chatroom out of every website on the internet. What do you think?
The internet is everywhere, simultaneously connecting billions of people worldwide. Yet, paradoxically, browsing the internet today is a solitary experience. The websites you visit may have thousands of concurrent visitors, but the user and the site alone seem to exist in a vacuum. In cases where the website does not provide a local platform for communication, such as a chat platform or a commenting system, the browsing visitor has no means of interacting with the other people visiting the same website at the same time. This invention connects people concurrently using the same website, if they so desire, without any changes needed for the website.
"Vibrant" is an interesting word with so many lovely meanings and connotations.

Yeah I’m aware the interest rebate is just a rebate like any other but the cost of such rebates is much higher if the baseline interest is 4% than if it’s 1%. The difference between 0% and 2% is as expensive as the subsidy between 7% and 5% but I don’t think it will sway as many customers

Yep. You can take your well-worn canvas shopping bags to the grocery store, but good luck finding food, toiletries, & such that aren't clad in single-use plastics.

Given how well excessive packaging works, from a marketing PoV, the most reasonable solution is probably a tax on packaging. Though if you actually wanted to enact that (vs. scoring performative virtue points), it'd probably need to be sold as a truth-in-packaging measure - "don't you feel cheated when you realize that you spent your hard-earned money on a big, shiny box - that had just a crummy little product buried inside it?".

I want to say, a lot of effort has been made recently to allow you to Self-Host Omnivore. I have done a lot to move it over so that all the features are self-hostable, including rewriting the entire PDF stack. I received a lot of support from the devs doing this too.

I know the decisions of the Dev team were disappointing, but it's also worth pointing out that the site was kept up until around last month - despite the warning stating that'd be down in November.

Omnivore could have shut down their code base, and prevented self-hosting entirely. I'm glad they didn't.

There have been attempts to recreate (vulgar) Latin from modern day Romance languages, as well as using older forms of these languages to reconstrct what's known as Proto-Romance.

My recollection is that the complexity went the other way; Latin was more complex than the reconstructed languages, especially if the reconstruction didn't include Romanian, because the modern Romance languages became simpler over time in similar ways.

It's clear that the result is useful for understanding features of the ancestral language, but it's not perfect, and never will be.

On the other hand, comparative linguistics came long before genetics, and it is this field that first noticed a connection between the Indo-European languages.

Archaeological and especially genetic evidence now show the peoples of this language family (mostly) have shared (though distant and diluted) ancestry, so the field was broadly correct in noticing a connection.
Thanks, this shifts a bit how I think of Maciej. :-/ And to think of all the money I funneled into the great slate!
This is an argument that you felt bad. Is it an argument that you were worse off? Homeless people tend to have a huge stack of problems and how they feel isn't #1 as I understand it. And while I'd expect it to be a reasonable guide I don't trust the instincts of a homeless person to work out what is in their own best interests when those instincts are saying "systemically push the price of food up, that'll help". Frankly, it sounds like a traumatic experience and the response to the trauma would lead to bad policy.

I don't want to thoughtlessly minimise feeling bad, but between (having more food), (shelter) and (feeling good), society would be doing better to prioritise in that order when it comes to trying to help. We're talking about a situation where you have 20 cents; a 2% average reduction in the price of butter means you get around 2% more butter and associated calories. If we trade off price increases for higher average prices you'd literally just have had less butter to eat. Those differences will add up over a month, even if sometimes there is a tough shopping trip.

If the price stability thing is for poor families there are many better policies than pushing up the average price of food. Like pushing the price of food down, then finding ways to communicate what is cheapest this week. Ie, solving the "You can only find that out when you are in the store" part.

If Musk wants "zero regulations as a baseline" for the US you can call that an educated prediction.

And every time I have heard him talk it was just a gish gallop, not to mention the utterly idiotic (and false) stuff he boosts on Twitter. I haven't even seen anything that would lead me to believe he could seriously think about these things, not to mention showing any evidence he ever did.
