Hacking for the sake of hacking VS hacking for the sake of saving money, why does it matter?
> Most people have been “just writing” on the web for over a decade. Look at where it’s gotten us.

Writing on blogs creates some valuable content I benefit from reading, and a lot of content that costs me nothing because I'm never aware of it.

Social media is where people would benefit from writing less. Over and over, I discover someone who produces great high-effort, high-quality content in some medium (blog posts, books, conference presentations), follow them on Bluesky, and then unfollow them because I don't want to read their reactions to random events or their conversations with other people. Even if their daily chatter is much more insightful and informative than the average person's, it's the wrong place for me to invest the energy and attention it takes to process. I feel so much better, and perform so much better personally and professionally, if I save that part of my energy budget for personal interactions with friends, family, and coworkers.

On blogs, people should write to their heart's content. They should write as much for themselves as for other people.
I'm surprised that there are new language specific hosting services like this cropping up. It just seems like the wrong level of abstraction, particularly for frameworks like this. Infrastructure makes sense at a few levels of abstraction...

- Servers you can run what you like on – VMs, bare metal, etc.

- Containers that you can put what you like in, but which run in some system you don't control – Kubernetes, ECS, even things like Heroku are here now.

- Language specific micro-plugins, where a small piece of code is hosted in a common server process – AWS Lambda, Cloudflare workers, all the FaaS stuff. These are sometimes language specific, but I expect them to align on WASM.

Being PHP and Laravel specific doesn't really fit any of these, it's a model that sort of existed around the early Heroku days, but seemed to lose out to first Heroku and its generic buildpack system, and then eventually to containers.

What happens when a team wants to add a little Node process for some frontend thing? Do they need to move their entire hosting? Who is the target audience of a provider like this, and perhaps more importantly, can they stay with a provider like this for very long?
Did they basically just recycle this?

This was 30 years ago, so I'm sure a lot has changed since then. I was a missionary and the way we got into buildings in Toronto to knock on doors was to just pick the last name with the most letters from the directory, buzz them, and when they answered, we would just say "pizza delivery" and 95% of the time they buzzed the door open.
I gave Clojure a shot some years ago and even wrote an important tool used daily by all employees at our company in Clojure. The problem for me was maintenance. If I had to make any change to that code, I had to dive into the REPL just to understand it. Whereas with something like Java, even if something is poorly written and not documented, I can get at least a minimum understanding of the code just looking at the types.

I've been working on a large modern Java application lately and have never really felt the need for a REPL workflow even after having been exposed to it in Clojure. I tend to structure my Java code so it can be easily unit-testable and then just run the suite of unit tests (several thousand) in a few seconds as needed.
Really? Thats what you got out of that? Please go a little deeper before being so dismissive.

"BitTorrent became popular around year 2005, whereas JSON became popular around year 2010. The usage of JSON in the real world has greatly eclipsed BitTorrent or bencode, so there is a natural bias to view bencode through the lens of JSON even though JSON was adopted later (though not necessarily invented later)."

Netstrings was proposed in 1997.

https://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt

Whether bencoding's remarkable similarity to netstrings is purely coincidence is left as a question for the reader.

Perhaps there is a "natural bias" to view netstrings through the lens of bencoding even though bencoding came much later.

"Oddly enough, BitTorrent's bencode format is a significant subset of JSON but is much easier to parse as a binary format."

Curious what makes it "odd".

JSON assumed that memory is an unlimited resource.^1 It is like having to read an entire file into memory before processing it. Hence we see revisions such as "line-delimited JSON". Netstrings is even more memory-efficient than line-oriented processing; there is no need to read in an entire line.

1. This makes sense if one agrees that JSON was designed for graphical web browsers, programs notorious for excessive memory usage.
We use it a lot for a specific use-case and it works great. Mongo has come a long long way since the release over a decade ago, and if you keep it in Majority Read and Write, it's very reliable.

I'm skeptical of carbon offsets for direct polluters. But the idea that Big Tech data centers "costs US public health $5.4bn" comes mostly from the precise inverse of carbon offsets, where a prorated share of the local electric company's emissions is imputed to them. Presumably big tech would be just as happy if the local grid were 100% renewable, and the article quotes Google at least saying they actively try to use clean energy when it's available.
Simplification is the problem here, arguably. Even a simple-sounding objective (say, a bicycle wheel that holds load the best) has at least one implicit assumption - it will be handled and used in the real world. Which means it'll be subject of sloppy handling and thermal spikes and weather and abuse and all kinds of things that are not just meeting the goal. Any of those cheesy AI designs, if you were to 3D-print/replicate them, they'd fall apart as you picked them up. So the problem seems to be, ML algorithm is getting too simple goal function - one lacking the "used in the real world" part.

I feel that a good first step would be to introduce some kind of random jitter into the simulation. Like, in case of the wheels, introduce road bumps, and perhaps start each run by simulating dropping the wheel from a short distance. This should quickly weed out "too clever" solutions - as long as the jitter is random enough, so RL won't pick up on it and start to exploit its non-randomness.

Speaking of road bumps: there is no such thing in reality as a perfectly flat road; if the wheel simulator is just rolling wheels on mathematically perfect roads, that's a big deviation from reality - precisely the kind that allows for "hacky" solutions that are not possible in the real world.

A lot of inns and B&Bs in tiny towns etc. have these complicated passwords that seem like overkill. You're probably right that they're some sort of default. Even if they're not 12345, it seems as if they could be something pretty simple and that would be fine.

> Default credentials that “should” be changed, with no requirement or explanation of how to do so. Surely no building managers ever leave the defaults, right? And even if they did, they’d surely have no reason to expose this thing to the Internet, right?

My theory is this is one of the reasons so many internet-of-things devices nowerdays omit any sort of offline/local network control.

No default passwords, no ports you can forward without knowing what you're doing, all the credentials sorted out on a cloud server.

Tasks can be created with `/todo` and additional ways - https://github.com/logseq/docs/blob/feat/db/db-version.md#cr...

The Status property is customizable - https://github.com/logseq/docs/blob/feat/db/db-version.md#cu.... If you don't like the icons, you can delete them from a property's Available Choices - https://github.com/logseq/docs/blob/feat/db/db-version.md#pr...

Then press `Cmd-Enter` as the ui tells you todo and as documented in https://github.com/logseq/docs/blob/feat/db/db-version.md#cr.... Tags entered that way display as before

> The async pipe idea sounds interesting but I'm not clear how it would work. It seems like you'd have to use vfork to implement it but vfork is blocking until you call exec so doesn't that defeat the purpose?

Yes, so have the `vfork()` happen in worker threads.

> Unless you enjoy footguns posix_spawn is probably a better idea than vfork. (Unless you actually need vfork of course.)

I have proof that `vfork()` can be used safely: the several `posix_spawn()` implementations that use it.

But it is not morally acceptable for coal to release radiation either. It was politically acceptable for a while but less so now. It is right to hold new plants to a higher standard. And as I have been reminded repeatedly in these kind of threads it is perfectly possible to build reactors that have negligible radiation release.

The real question is if humans really can tweak the tradeoffs like this. Can you really change a design to be less safe on a controllable way.

Also, as you say different technologies have different advantages and downsides. That does mean different regulation.

Assuming quantum hardware get's commoditized ...

Some algorithm and task are quantum computer friendly, in particular the Fast Fourier transform goes from O(N^2) to O(N logN).

Other algorithms don't get more speed from the quantum hardware. It's not magic, just that there a are a few useful interesting cases.

So, I expect to see a few dedicated libraries to run calculations in a quantum coprocesor, and a some "vectorized" language to write the glue that connect the pipes.

I’ve spent a lot of time hiring and working with people across Europe and I can assure you that cheap 10Gbps symmetric fiber is absolutely not common across Europe.

In some of the countries where we hired we had difficulty with people getting any reliable connection at home, let alone high speed fiber. (Company supported WFH but reliable internet was a requirement).

I think you’re probably projecting from your own local experience into the entire EU, which is not accurate.

What if page will have more than 200 words? Are google selling it at cost?
Yup.

finalizing arXiv paper on why hypertokens eliminate AI hallucinations
There are a couple of reasons but I can cite a few, I tried to push for PaaS and failed the hard way:

1. No widespread practice of environment provisioning automation. Today Docker and k8s are ubiquitous. Having a list of requirements your application needs well kept were hard to find - which Heroku needs.
2. In the same sense as above, automated deployment was not a common thing.
3. Barriers to cloud adoption. Development tools were not widespread. Paying for software development and deployment is common now, it wasn't.

It's only not a big deal if your use case doesn't require this feature.

You don't always have full control over the keys. Say I take over your legacy project, and I need to add a way to configure settings related to file paths. Whoops, suddenly I'm either limited in the FS layout I can use, or I have to implement support for this feature (and properly test it, and document it, and...)
