Congratulations to Prof Barto & Prof Sutton. I'm sure the late Harry Klopf is all smiles (:

> The ACM A.M. Turing Award, often referred to as the "Nobel Prize in Computing," carries a $1 million prize with financial support provided by Google, Inc.

Good on Google, but there will be questions if their mere sponsorship in any way influences the awards.

If ACM wanted, could it not raise $1m prize money from non-profits/trusts without much hassle?

4-cylinder engines without balance shafts, anyway.
AI assisted theorem provers will go a bit in that direction. You may not know exactly how they managed to construct a proof, but you can examine that proof in detail and verify its correctness.
Amazing that Sutton (American) chooses to live in Edmonton, AB rather than USA.

Shows he has integrity and is not a careerist focused on prestige and money above all else.
Again this focus on the financials, exactly what is criticized. What do they matter when they have sooo much of the real economy, of the world's manufacturing?

On the one hand you have a bunch of virtual numbers, on the other one you have a large number of top factories, scientists and engineers (they days of copying are long past). You would go with the virtual numbers if you could choose?

Even if finance completely collapses and all money vanishes, they will still have all those real things. Restarting finance from there is far, far easier than the other way around. Too much magical thinking around "money".

PS: I don't like the article though. Lots of... "statements", let's put it that way.
Its a interesting pattern in which people self censor due to other sites they use which will filter posts based on things like the Piratebay. Its some thing I've seen alot more in Gen Z users almost becoming slang.
I don’t know. But I don’t think that matters to the discussion. The world is a much different place these days. A lot more connected.

Also, most of that emigration was more like “famine-drain”.
These browsers are both free though. You can download both Edge [1] and Safari [2] from their websites.

> Remind me what's wrong with those again?

Edge is a Chromium re-skin, which has the exact same problems of being controlled by Google. And it has tons of Microsoft spyware added on top.

Safari is pretty good, but it only works on Mac OS. If they released it for Windows and Linux I bet it would be very popular.

But smart people stuck in bad countries would not be able to work and thrive or maybe their ideas would get locked somewhere ?
No, I am serious. If you bother to log the requests, then obviously you care about the logs being accurate and complete. Conversely, if you don't care about the logs, just turn them off entirely.

> So that users can read the content...

Does e.g. your authorization middleware adopt the same stance?
Oh I miss qmail, felt much easier to deal with than the alternatives.
I can't believe it 100% because in my view every research is funded by someone in a big corp. and people don't bite the hand that feeds them.

I'm an undergraduate working now in Shanghai and recently have fallen in love with MLOps. Developed the CI/CD pipelines, run databricks for training and am building rag enabled chatbots in my free time and for my company. Looking for an internship where I can grow in the area
I run multiple blogs, although post somewhat actively in one [0].

Would also like to mention (tab-rs)[0] which has a much more unconventional take on multiplexing.

It is sad that it has not been maintained in a while (written in rust) as I much prefer the low cognitive load approach it presents (just fuzzy find) as well as the workspace feature.

Would be interested in knowing if there is something similar and maintained.

P.S. Does anyone here know how to make GNU Screen start up by default on a terminal launch?

I think swappable batteries may be a more practical solution for heavy trucks rather than cars. They have the advantage that they are already built to carry heavy things loaded by forklift, unlike cars.

There's an Australian company https://www.januselectric.com.au/ doing them. They do electric conversions on existing trucks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflict...

Pretty much all these conflicts are pretty limited and there's very few states focused on war (whereas before Nukes in the 20th century essentially all of Europe and Asia was focused on war, constantly)

So yes, I find the idea that the nuclear weapons threat is preventing a LOT of wider wars and is responsible for the most peaceful period ever in human history pretty convincing.

When it comes to relations between states, arguments go between capitalism and war (ie. just taking what you want vs trade)

I get that capitalism (selling/exporting their oil) brought Soviets enormous success and taking what they want in war brought the USSR down. And yet, despite that, here we are with Russia and Ukraine. You'd think recent Russian history would convince anyone the Ukraine conflict is not worth it, obviously not for Ukraine, but also not for Russia. It's an easy argument to make that for Russia abandoning the war today, just going home right now, will provide more rewards for Russia and Russians than a complete victory would bring, even if that victory ALSO came today ... and yet nobody thinks Russia will abandon the fight. As for their ability to wage war, the sad truth is, Putin has conquered more people than he lost, and Russia has conquered more minerals' than they lost in equipment. If Putin wants to use both resources to create more war, he will be able to do so.

Something very similar can be said about China and Taiwan. Not having a conflict is obviously the best option ... and yet, there's very little doubt that conflict will erupt in a few years, not decades.

I thought Ryujinx’ Mac support was great?
I have slow, limitted internet. I'm now blacklisting sites in my hosts file that suck up internet. Some I can't of course, I find it particularily funny that my bank has my browser ping spotify for instance. As others have said its just enshittification all around.
This started out interesting but then the red flags started to pop up. Going to jail in Europe for posting memes, gold standard, salivating over doing something that benefits the US and hurts countries that are already poorer than the US.

He has strong opinions on economics, but doesn't understand it. His points about economics are partially true but either subtly incorrect or interpreted incorrectly.
How do you combact spam?
I feel like there's going to a very slow trickle of (a trivial number of) users towards either self-hosting mail or a growing cottage industry of smaller-scale mail services hosted outside the US.

Of the growing number of self-hosting options, I'm not sure how many of them are designed to scale, or to what scale they can scale...
This is towards TSMC, but will it also affect Broadcom?
Working on it but there are still elections scheduled.
And further than democracy, the universe doesn't guarantee long-term anything. Sensible regimes (being democracy or else) seems intrinsically more aligned with that. Except maybe clear catastrophes that require "homogeneous" actions / behaviors (like asia approach to the covid 19 pandemic)
I’d be happy if the US policies these days were based on _at least_ an HN comment. A typical HN comment does a much better job of considering at least some of the caveats and trade-offs than a POTUS Truth Social post.

EDIT: Thinking about it, it’s kind of hilarious that it’s called “Truth Social”, given that it’s mostly antisocial lies.
Maybe stupid question, but can split keyboard work as two separate keyboards connecting independently to the operating system? That way you don't have to synchronise anything.
Seems like vibe coding is the trendy term?
We have this saying in Spanish "en casa del herrero, cuchillo de palo" (the blacksmith rather uses wooden-made knifes at home), meaning that when you're an insider to some of the nasty things that are part of certain products, you'll end up wanting to avoid it altogether. And in a sector as unregulated and wild regarding user protections as is the technology and software world, no surprise lots of engineers know that things look grim when you know the secrets of how they're done.
> These are the things people are looking to immigrate towards.

In the academic world, I am definitely seeing brain-drain from the EU towards China now. 10-20 years ago, it was almost exclusively the US. I expect this shift to rapidly continue now. From a European perspective, China appears to be more stable than the US at the moment.

> The language of the world in English, Hollywood is American, Hip hop is American and I can't really think of any other country in a position to globally influence and create an ethos in the same way US can. You can call it branding. US fully controls the societal narrative around the world.

You are describing the world 20 years ago. A large and respected German newspaper (FAZ) had an article today, titled: "Is the US our enemy now?" [0]. The Financial Times had an article last week titled: "The US is now the enemy of the west" [1]. This would have been completely unthinkable just a few weeks ago. 27% of Canadians already see the US as an enemy state [2].

Would you get your daily entertainment from the enemy? China is already the major trading partner for most of the world. Why shouldn't it became the major entertainment provider?

I am on a very strange php sort-of-cms framework I built originally for a long out of business medical freelancer website like fifteen years ago. If I am remembering correctly I sort of built both at the same time.

It's not anything anyone would build today, and I would not recommend it to anyone, but it does have some very interesting properties that make some things that are often difficult very easy. Embedding dynamic content mid-article for instance is very easy because of a processing pass before a page gets handed to the view. It has a concept of ordered content filters, so by post I can declare what filters get applied and in what order. Filters include markdown parsing, as well as a syntax for injecting dynamic elements.

It's kind of my Frankenstein's monster at this point, but as an tinkerer I enjoy maintaining it. If I didn't enjoy it, I would have switched to something sane years ago.

There is plenty of words written on what the difference is between leading and managing.

True leaders are role models, not higher-ups, the ones where authority comes from competence, not position, showing the way, not just telling what to do, facilitating self-organization, giving direction, prioritizing, giving vision and perspective, not orders, fostering intrinsic motivation.
Couldn’t there exist a chirality filter on earth?
There are also many people that continue to make easily correctable mistakes because they don't know any better.

You made my point. Thanks.
Thanks, good idea.

I went to my home router (a Fritzbox) and just blocked the printer from accessing the internet (it's under Internet -> Filter, and the printer is named BRW90....). Fairly straightforward - that should be a good enough fix, no?
So you propose any invaded territory just concedes to prevent nuclear war? Would your opinion be the same if it was your homeland that was invaded?

Also, it's not clear what you're getting at... perhaps you can elaborate on your thinking?
This says it improved significantly from 1940 until 1980, then made a turn for the worse. So it's about the same as 100 years ago, but for a big part of that 100 years, it was better.
EDIT time is over. I don't want to be misunderstood. I am not claiming to send MASS emails and having them delivered without issues or anything. If we have to do mass emails, they are done with services that provide the GUIs for them etc. There's no way you won't end up in spam lists even if you sign up each invidiual email address in person yourself.
Battery swapping for trucks is far different from cars though. Trucks are reasonably standardised, they commonly have predestined routes and purpose built depots to operate from. If you're say Pepsi and you've got a fleet of trucks going between your warehouses you can build the infrastructure around your route.

If you look at old mobile phones with removable batteries, you'll notice that there is usually a lot of space taken up by the plastic around the battery which is designed to allow a user to replace it repeatedly. A car battery that's rapidly replaceable would need a large, strong structure around it to allow it to be replaced but also to hold together in the event of a crash. If batteries had to be swapped out, you would lose more cabin space and structural rigidity. Then you get to standardised connectors and mountings, data protocols, the list goes on. And that's before you think of the automated equipment to actually swap the batteries.

In a world where we can charge a car today from 10-80% in 10 minutes, it doesn't seem like a worthwhile engineering challenge.

Canada - Ontario ( most populous province) - ends contract with Starlink and refuses to sell US alcohol ( 1 billion $/ year). I know a lot of Canadians and they are stopping US subscriptions everywhere.

Things are changing fast.
panic/recover is the same thing as exceptions. You can avoid them if you want, that's your decision, doesn't change the technical fact.
I used to buy Brother for exactly this reason,but recently had an older (but upgraded) Brother not recognise 3rd-party toner :(

So ... not HP, not Brother ... anyone left that sells reasonable printers with honest firmware?

Several years ago I tried DeltaChat and it caused an insurmountable problem: my mail provider kept locking me out of my account. Almost certainly it was because DeltaChat's suspiciously ciphertext-filled messages were triggering the abuse lockdown.

The provider was GMX and it was their fault, not DeltaChat's. But I had to call off the experiment.

One can have in series a very fast solid-state relay (which would disconnect in some tens of microseconds at most; e.g. with IGBTs) and a mechanical relay for permanent disconnection.

This would increase the cost, but by many times less than the insulated power converters used today.

> Note also that as another comment above this mentions, the U.S has had more or less similar levels of said inequality for the last 100 years

This is not what it said. It said it was about the same 100 years ago. It improved for a long time before going back up.
You can see this when you join a (disfunctional) new team, notice the friction, then suggest improving it.
Orderly shutdown is overrated. I would prefer they have mechanisms to deal with a crash and use them by default so they're actually tested. And certainly the process should return an error code in such a failure to startup.

This post is a treasure. I have too many itches to scratch and would want to know at least a ballpark figure for the time investment.

One suggestion for the already complete and detailed post: what is the personal/professional gain you get for your time investment? In this case maybe: „program design became clearer after having worked through SICO.“ or „I can discuss design more formally now“ or just „It was interesting and everyone talked about it, so I needed to know“
So the whole idea of "you can't eat technology" relies on the apocalypse happening imminently? Modern institutions of society are WHY our lives are full of what would be magic 200 years ago, like being able to grab a carrot from the supermarket shelf any time. With both hardware and software we've made agriculture the most efficient its ever been, and it's now so efficient it literally frees up to optimize the edges of other problems
I can easily tap C-a with one hand with very minimal hand position change.

In a sensible world, we would be using this, instead of whatsapp. It is amazing that even really a vast majority of, even technical people, not once stopped and looked at whatsapp, and said "Wait, e-mail can do this, we just need a pretty UI".
Not sure, but it seems in France the situation in degrading. The same 1% being richer while workers / students waiting in line for food charity stories were common. Part of it might be due to COVID, but I can't shake the feeling that business management (influenced by anglo-saxon/american culture) is harder than before and squeezes employees. Not only a feeling, I worked on precarious jobs that shouldn't exist, and we saw employees having materially impossible daily duties (due to bad software unable to organize things).
The carrot is that Russia will probably be allowed to keep their ill-gotten gains in Ukraine. Some sanctions relief might be on the table as well. Dealing with a stupid, yet dangerous state like Russia, a carrot only works with a stick. All your suggestions effectively allow Russia to be even more brazen in its imperial ambitions going forward. That would be a big mistake. Conquering land needs to be prohibitively expensive. And for the sacrifice Ukraine is giving,they need proper assurances that they won't be attacked again a few years down the line.

European troops in Ukraine, adding them to a new European nuclear umbrella, and giving them a pathway towards EU membership and a "Marshal Plan" to rebuild are the kinds of things Ukraine needs to feel any kind of confidence in a ceasefire or peace agreement.

Of course security issues are usually highly mitigated already by not having internet access on the device.

`return err` is a terrible approach. You must wrap the error with new error, include file and line information, so stacktrace is actually useful. When program spews some random garbage into its stderr and you have no idea where that message came from (imagine looking through millions of lines of kubernetes implementation), that's the good way to ensure that nobody would even care to look at it. Thousands of unsolved issues in kubernetes tracker is a perfect demonstration of it.

Go is just bad at handling errors. Exceptions are superior in every way.
If you hire a consultancy offering compliance services (e.g. https://www.tuv.com/world/en/cyber-resilience-act.html ) they can probably tell you? Maybe they'll even offer to be your Authorised Representative, though I couldn't find information on that.

A sysadmin's rant about feed readers and crawlers (2022)
"Trading is not a job. Passive income is not a thing."

Never a truer word spoken. Making money by moving money around. It shouldn't exist. It shouldn't be possible or at least should come with severe limitations that make it not possible to live off as a vocation. When person A 'wins', person B 'loses'.

It is a specific skill set that some humans have, but it's not one that should be valued because it gives nothing back to society. In fact, it's a net negative.

It's very cool. Getting a couple racks of new servers and installing all of them from your desk without any interaction is very enjoyable.

I also love installing/cabling servers, but not needing to leave your desk to (re)provision hardware is pretty life changing. Considering your desk can be anywhere around the world due to work travels.
I also expected lowend VPS servers to have tainted IPs but surprisingly they are mostly clean. Currently I run Mox on very cheap $0.6/month (multi year contract) VPS and for the almost half year that I monitor the IP address there was 0 blocklist appearances, mail delivers geneally fine (only had to fish it out of outlook spam at my work address). Most other of my monitored VPS IPs are also completely clean. It seems spammers are not tolerated by those providers.
