There is one thing that makes WASM very awkward: projecting APIs into a sandbox.

If this was done in a way that works in mechanical sympathy with a wide range of languages I think WASM would be more successful. Making an API available inside a sandbox is painful. You have to manually roll something that can deal with memory, marshal calls and parameters etc. I'm not suggesting it is easy. I'm merely pointing out that this is what I see as the main obstacle to adoption.

I am not interested in "generic" access to system resources (filesystem, network etc) at all. In fact, I can't think of any scenario where I'd actually want to do that. I want to provide APIs that deal with external resources in narrowly defined ways.

It is much easier to do this securely when you explicitly have to provide functionality rather than say "here's the filesystem" and then try to clamp down access.

I want to use WASM on servers. Primarily in Go. I want to be able to create a bunch of APIs that provide narrow access to persistence and communication and project those APIs into the sandbox. In a manner that is interoperable and easy to use from various languages. I don't want to have to craft some application specific marshalling scheme.

If projecting APIs into sandboxes in a (mostly) language agnostic way that is natural, safe and easy to use, it'd be easy enough to write system interfaces. I have no idea why so few people see this as important since I feel it should be self-evident.

(And yes, being able to offer concurrency would be nice, but that's a much smaller issue than the problem of there being no good way to marshall APIs into WASM containers)

For someone criticising Musk for dishonesty, you may want to look in the mirror.

Musk is supportive of legal migration, and wants countries to increase the legal migration rates. He opposes illegal migration, as does the vast majority of the public.

This would have been a great card for a homelab if only they haven't decided to move away from SR-IOV in their consumer GPUs.

AFAIK it used to be possible to get some SR-IOV working on the previous Alchemists (with some flashing), but Battlemage seems like a proof of Intel abandoning the virtualization/GPU splitting in the consumer space altogether.

AFAIK, no.

I read through the 787 Dreamliner manual for setting up the software for patch distribution to the planes, and there are checks and overrides at every step. The whole thing is physically controlled by the owning airline or maybe the leasing company, but not Boeing.

I see it differently.

They need to dismantle bureaucracy to accelerate, NOT add new international agreements etc that would slow them down.

Once they become leaders, they will come up with such agreements to impose their "model" and way to do things.

Right now they need to accelerate and not get stuck.

> Does pressing and holding the arrow not do that for you? I remember (before I went carless) that my Audi used to do 10kph increments, displaying the target speed in the HUD, when I pressed and held the lever.

IIRC Gen 2 Priuses only incremented the speed by 1.604km/h (yes, that 1mi/h, go figure why they didn't adjust for the rest of the world).

But you're right that most of the time it's adjustable by holding the arrows (I've tried Peugeot, Opel, Hyundai).

Is this the declaration? https://www.elysee.fr/emmanuel-macron/2025/02/11/pledge-for-...

It appears to be essentially "We promise not to do evil" declaration. It contains things like "Ensure AI eliminates biases in recruitment and does not exclude underrepresented groups.".

What's the point of rejecting this? Seems like a show, just like the declaration itself.

Depending on what side of the things you are, if you don't actually take a look at it you might end up believing that US is planning to do evil and others want to eliminate evil or alternatively you might believe that US is pushing for progress when EU is trying to slow it down.

Both appear false to me, IMHO its just another instance of US signing off from the global world and whatever "evil" US is planning to do China will do it better for cheaper anyway.
CTO's Perspectives on Preparing a Business to Scale
I mean, I suppose it comes down to "define free market". No market is entirely free, but it's totally conceivable that you could have a non-protectionist market which still subsidises market segments seen as desirable. That is generally ~how the US and EU markets writ large have worked for the past few decades, say (though cars are a bit of a special case, and the US in particular has always been quite keen on protectionism there.)
Hard-Won Insights as a Service: The Value of Payments Orchestration
I have anecdotal evidence that at least a part of this is due to Musk's behaviour. My father is in charge of the car fleet for a large German company, and they have decided to exclude Tesla from their fleet because of Musk's recent behaviour. At the same time, they have also decided to go full electric for the entire fleet (no hybrid either).

Interesting article

Neither do those FDA experts from Psymposia or the MDMA advocates, Lykos/MAPS, are doctors or scientists, which is a bit concerning.

So why was Psymposia given authority by the FDA? I don't understand that part.

Also, the article has many occurrences of "who uses gender-neutral pronouns". Do those people explicitly mention they use those pronouns, or is the author adding those details without explanation? And why mention it several times?

It's interesting how Psymposia poses as "leftist" and attacks others for being white supremacist, but I don't see how that's relevant.

You make a great point! Discoverability is definitely a challenge when looking for open-source apps. A vote-based curated app categories section would be a fantastic addition to help surface the best options. In the meantime, your approach of using Reddit and GitHub metrics like stars and contributors is a smart way to gauge project quality and activity. Hopefully, we’ll see better solutions emerge for open-source app discovery in the future!

I’m honestly shocked that we still don’t have a direct-democratic constitution for the world and AIs - something like pol.is with an x.com-style simpler UI (Claude has a constitution drafted with pol.is by a few hundred people but it's not updatable).

We’ve managed to write the entire encyclopedia together, but we don't have a simple place to choose a high-level set of values that most of us can get behind.

People should use whatever site they find most useful. But I find the specific criticisms here baffling. To wit:

* "The site has barely changed in years/decades". That's kind of the point of the site! People ancient enough to remember Pinboard origins know that I cloned it off of del.icio.us after Yahoo made that site useless through repeated redesigns. The value proposition of Pinboard is that it endures, just like the stuff you archive there.

* The "add URL form is not responsive". I fixed this in early January, along with a raft of other updates targeted at phone users, as the author himself acknowledges. I've been working to get things looking neater on phones for a while now; bug reports about this are especially welcome.

* They don't like me and my politics are bad, for reasons they can't remember or articulate.

Again, you can dislike me and my website for any reason you want, but if you're going to publicly attack my livelihood, do it with more substance.
Well, even to genuinely protect children it often means removing things from impacting them. You don't give a newborn honey; we don't invent some kind of pill that allows us to give them honey on day 1, they can't deal with honey, it's fine, just keep it away from them. Then the older they get, the more it's about giving them the tools to make their own decisions -- but children can't consent, so yes, you have to ban adults from doing some things. You can't usually just "enable" something else so they don't harm children. Children grow on their own, provided they get what they need and some stimulus, but also crucially safe space to grow in, from which to extend their feelers so to speak. That must be carved out negatively. And frankly, society totally threw them under the bus even when it was just TV and ads, with phones it's so much worse. But that's a total tangent and besides the point.

"think of the children" can and is also be used as a fig leaf, to just ban things or get control, but that fact in turn is then used as a fig leaf for dismissing any concern for children. While "think of the disabled people whose welfare the broligarchy wants to see cut" somehow is just taken without second thought.
Yeah, it's behavior like this that really makes people cheer for companies like DeepSeek to stick it to the US.

A little bit of Schadenfreude would feel really good right about now, what bothers me so much is that it's just symbolic for the US and UK NOT to sign these 'promises'.

It's not as if anyone would believe that the commitments would be followed through with. It's frustrating at first, but in reality this is a nothing burger, just emphasizing their ignorance.

One of my favourite dash controls ever was the Saab “Night” mode. Very simple, one press and all of the backlight illumination was turned off except for the absolutely critical controls (speed, etc.).

Super useful for reducing distractions while driving at night. Most of the night driving I do today is polluted by light splashing off a central LED on the main console, or dynamic instrumentation on the dash itself. Match that with the blinding headlights manufacturers are wont to put in nowadays and it makes for a much more fatiguing night time driving experience.

I do wonder if it increased the risk of falling asleep at the wheel, but I have no doubt that it improved night vision overall.
blobless still better than shallow because at least commit history is preserved.
For me there's two additional preset :

* 100: happens during construction work on the motorway, and also for some segment of the motorway whose speed limit is dynamically managed depending on traffic

* 110: during long(ish) distance trip (incidentally, to Southern France), I drive at 110 to save some battery for my EV

At this point having cruise control working the way it works now is probably less complex than 5 presets (I agree that having to adjust the speed km-by-km sounds painful though).
The emphasis is the word capable here. I think there's a difference between a country using their capability of violence to actually be violent and a one with the tangible capability using it for peace.
There are peaceful strategies that are temporarily stable in the face of actors who capitalise on peaceful actors to take their resources, but they usually (always?) take the form of quickly moving on when an aggressor arrives.

Eg. birds abandoning rather than defending a perch when another approaches.

We're typically not happy to do that, though you can see it happening in some parts of the world right now.

Some kind of enlightened state where violent competition for resources (incl. status & power) no longer makes sense is imaginable, but seems a long way off.
So I guess we just wait for HBM to get cheaper and better, which should not take too long, given how much money is being pumped into it ?
No one favors illegal migration over legal, that's just a smear and misrepresentation of the situation.

Meanwhile AfD act like actual neo-Nazis:

"In January 2024, it was revealed that senior members of the party, including Roland Hartwig, then advisor to party co-leader Alice Weidel, attended a meeting alongside neo-Nazi influencers, where plans for the deportation of millions of "asylum seekers", "non-assimilated people", and those with "non-German backgrounds" were discussed, including those with German citizenship and residency rights.[348] The event triggered the 2024 German anti-extremism protests. "

Clearly this AfD's choice and nothing to do with the left wing.
Hardware video decoding has worked perfectly for decades.

Sleep worked perfectly until Microsoft decided that device manufacturers should replace sleep with overheating in your bag (a much better sleep mode than, y'know, actual SLEEP).

Not sure what "modern UEFI features" means. Whenever something is described as "modern" that screams to me that someone is trying to conflate recentness with quality which is a red flag. UEFI itself has worked fine for as long as it has existed as far as I know?

Why you would replace the userland with "managed language frameworks" is quite beyond me.
For me the internal part of this is far more important than any external pitch. Storytelling is a key skill for keeping an organisation aligned. Every company I've worked for that felt disjointed wasn't because of a lack of structure or process, it was the lack of a unifying narrative that people can follow and weave their work into. Once you have that, the sales and marketing part is pretty natural because you're already living the message like you mean it.
The declaration of human rights, like a lot of other laws, declarations and similar pieces of paper signed by politicians, have zero value without the corresponding enforcement, and are often just there for optics so that taxpayers feel like their elected leaders are making good use of their money and are on the side of good.

And the extent of which you can do global enforcement (which is often biased and selective) is limited by the reach of your economic and military power.

Which is why the US outspends the rest of the world military powers combined and how the US and their troops have waged ilegal wars and committed numerous crimes abroad and gotten away with it despite pieces of papers saying what they're doing is bad, but their reaction was always "what are you gonna do about it?".

See how many atrocities have happened under the watch of the UN. Laws aren't real, it's the enforcement that is real. Which is why the bullies get to define the laws that everyone else has to follow because they have the monopoly on enforcement.
> china can't just do whatever and tariff american companies to hell, right?

In general, the US would introduce retaliatory tariffs in that scenario; the game theory of the situation basically requires that.

Despite popular belief, the CCP is also not actually completely immune to public discontent (it often seems to be really quite scared of it), and would likely be willing to kick off a major trade war, as it would cause price increases.

I'd say it's implicitly a result of the Japanese work model, not academic model.

Employed until retirement kind of hiring was the norm in Japan, with the work over life focus meaning many companies saw their peers more as an tight knit fraternity rather than the dry "strictly business" hiring in west.

So someone with known track record of being diligent and hardworking was often given more chances, even if his work didn't immediately produce result.

You're right that it's not a good one in the sense that for majority of the cases this just leads to bloat and unproductive members sticking around. But many innovations, academic or industry, in Japan, came from people being measurably bad/average in productivity, given a chance until they found their breakthrough. (entertainment industry had a lot of those)
