Something in between. Like "pushed to implement a feature without the safety measures". When outages started to happen implemented Outage Prevention Program, i.e. implemented the safety measures that should have been implemented from the start.

Lovely. It is well written and has a design I can 100% agree with.

I am curious, though: How will separate compilation work? I think it's an important practical feature but polymorphism (which I simply assume from the presence of type classes) and flexible file/module mappings make it extremely difficult to implement.
we talking about space colonization at this point, jensen huang literally have an wall-e robot now

also space is vast and empty, even with spaceship that has near light speed it still take years to even reach the destination not even counting do extract resources or back go to earth

I remember this argument from the 90s where large numbers of people were upset at having to learn the world "Font". What it came down to was, either you use the correct existing term, or you create a new term and end up with constant conflict between the two.

These days everyone knows what a font is.
Thanks, this is a good read. I did not know MyST, it is very cool.

The vim plugin I was talking about was vim-slime [0], which seems to date from 2007 and does have regions delimited with #%%.

Slime comes from Emacs originally, but I could not find if the original Emacs slime has regions.

Matlab also has those, which they call code sections [1]. Hard to find when they were introduced. Maybe 2021, but I suspect older.

None of those stores gge output of the command.

> The question we all need to ask is - how many people are personally victimized by transgender Americans? Gay Americans? Green card holders? Once you start asking those questions, the current conservative zeitgeist becomes untenable, and the platform quickly crumbles.

I agree that that statement is technically correct, but I have observed various forms of it in American media, and here's my issue with it: the Conservative platform seems to not have run on it at all.

Broadly, I don't see the point in straw manning (conflating all immigration with illegal immigration, for example) in a good faith discussion. I've seen it a huge amount in left wing media, but I think honestly have to dismiss that discussion as bad faith and try and desperately search for the remainder.

Specifically, they haven't run on "gay Americans" that I've seen at all (I'm not sure what that would look like, even), and they haven't run on green card holders. They have run on trans ideation and surgery for children, and trans women in female spaces, and illegal immigration, it's true, but that is far more specific, and it's those precise issues that got them elected.

Every time I see a fossil fuel car sitting outside my son’s nursery, engine idling, spewing out huge amounts of poisonous fumes (23 shipping containers worth every five minutes), I’m thankful that we’re transitioning to EVs.

Yes, there are problems, but many of the points made in the above post are dubious to say the least. I’ve had my EV for five years and the brakes are still pristine (regenerative braking saves mechanical brake wear). So I don’t buy that particulate pollution is higher in EVs.

50 companies solving the same problem? That’s GREAT! More scope for competition and innovation. Or would you rather ever drove Soviet Lada cars? Car costs are being driven down and we’re nearly at the tipping point where EVs are cheaper than fossil fuelled cars - which is surprising as EVs are better in nearly every single way.

We have continent-wide defacto standards for chargers. Ideally it would be worldwide, but really, this is a trivial concern.

You talk about mining (lithium I assume) as a concern, but that’s probably better overall than the huge environmental toll of oil extraction, transport, refinement and exhaust emission.

This isn’t the time to let perfect be the enemy of good. Get onboard with the transition and we will make progress. Progress is good.

> Lately some services started requiring 2FA. One of them is Github. Once I added 2FA to my Github account, it became less secure for me. Because security is not only about being protected from intrusion, but also about being able to securely access data at any time and in any circumstances.

>

> Now, my Github access depends on the second factor, which I have chosen to be Microsoft Authenticator running on my phone. I genuinely do not know what will happen if my phone breaks down, so I downloaded TOTP codes from Github and even tried one to see if it works, and so far it does, but now I have one less TOTP code to use in case something happens. Moreover, since Github is now a special case for my password management routine, I am afraid I may loose those TOTP codes and be totally locked out of my account

What? That's not what security means. Sure, you traded convenience for security.

Why is this upvoted at all?
> After working with the system experts to build this control structure, we immediately noticed missing feedback from controller C to controller B–in other words, controller B did not have enough information to support the decisions it needed to make

There is a feedback loop through D? And why does the same issue not apply to the missing directed edge from B to D?

EDIT: I figured it out on a reread, the vertical up/down orientation matters for whether an edge represents control vs feedback, so B is merely not controlling D, which is fine. But if B is only controlling C as a way to get through to D (which is what I would have guessed, absent other information), what's the issue with that?
Fair point. What the author does mention is that if you have to do a lot of work getting proper results out of AI (and potentially contend with hallucinations), you may as well do the actual work yourself and be more confident about the end result.

That being said, I think part of the potential is repeatability. Once you've done the work of property prompting for the desired result, you can often save the adjusted prompts (or a variation of it) for later use, giving you a flying start on subsequent occasions.

Are Databases going to start dissappearing?
I already don't trust anything a bot can POST to. So now I'm working towards making all my personal information live on servers that I control.

And when it comes to decentralized personal information, it's rare that I (anecdotally) have enough of anything to require a true DB. For instance:

- All of my health records (excluding imaging) could easily fit neatly in a 2MB JSON.

- A list of every photo I've ever taken, a file path to each, and a description would maybe take 10MB.

- A description of every event I've ever been to, and every person I've ever met might take 8MB.

- A lat, lng, and timestamp entry every minute for 10 years would be 5,256,000 entries × 26 bytes = ~130MB

Given how little overhead it takes to store the entire information of any individual, plus how infrequently it is likely to be modified, it seems there is no good reason to use databases in a decentralized context.

What do you think of this prediction?
ppl here are so freaking annoying and ignorant about how immigration works in any country.

you are right, for immigration its your responsibility to prove that you are not coming in to violate terms of entry. Onus is not them to prove that you are coming to work on tourist visa.
The shift to EVs will mean less mining of resources, since we'll not be digging stuff up to burn and then releasing the results into the atmosphere to choke our children and warm the atmosphere.

EVs aren't the single sole answer to climate change either (they're in the top 20 though) but repeating climate denial factoids isn't really helping either.
I spend a lot of time in CI (building https://namespace.so) and I agree with most of this:

- Treat pipelines as code.
- Make pipelines parts composable, as code.
- Be mindful of vendor lock-in and/or lack of portability (it is a trade-off).

For on-promise: if you're already deeply invested in running your own infrastructure, that seems like a good fit.

When thinking about how we build Namespace -- there are parts that are so important that we just build and run internally; and there are others where we find that the products in the market just bring a tremendous amount of value beyond self-hosting (Honeycomb is a prime example).

Use the tools that work best for you.

> Now the internet has become the new TV. A lot of younger people I see are shunning it.

Not really. I see the stark difference when i visit my parents (in their 60ies).

TV is always on and pretty much always repeating the same things. Little variability, really poor content. It's basically serving the same old thing to the same old people.

The internet instead has much more variability. There's so much plurality of opinions they often clash against each other.

> A lot of younger people I see are shunning it.

What I see is younger people starting to shun social media, which is something that makes my heart smile as well. It seems we're finally shaking off this performative collective craze.

Social media was definitely a mistake that made everything worse. I hope it dies soon.
> It take maybe 1-2 more clicks

1-2 clicks here, a couple there, and a click heavy UI. Welcome to the clickodrome, where your patience is tested to its limits.

Why do people click on everything without reading? Because you trained them to.
Apparently you haven't watched any footage from those events. If you had, you'd have noticed that the unorganised second wave consisted of rather confused people mulling around, not knowing what to do, and that mostly they tried to take hostages and prisoners. There is evidence of some cruelty, like a grenade thrown into a shelter, but "hundreds of unarmed civilians gunned down without mercy" just doesn't hold water.

In total 364 corpses were found, including cops and irregular combatants and so on. It's unknown how many of those were Hellfire:d, likely a rather large portion judging from the photos of the aftermath where you can see pretty much every car at the location having been blown up by helicopter.

At the very least it was nothing like the deep cruelty and genocidal mania of the occupation forces. They use snipers to systematically target small children, as you should know.

Palestinians commonly ask 'where are the arabs?' when they're crying and desperate in the aftermath of some israeli atrocity. It is because there is very little community among the arab populations in the Middle East that has allowed for Iran to help supply and train armed resistance groups in Palestine. Palestinians know this better than you or I do.

Last summer the ICJ published their considerations regarding the occupation and deemed it illegal and demanded that it ends immediately. A year ago they found it plausible that Israel is committing genocide and ordered the state to stop with possibly genocidal actions. Consistently and regularly israeli pundits and politicians are confessing to genocide on national television, the Internet and so on. Here's the defense minister in a recent speech:

"Residents of Gaza, this is your final warning. The first Sinwar destroyed Gaza, and the second Sinwar will bring upon it total ruin. The Israeli Air Force's attack against Hamas terrorists was only the first step. What follows will be far harsher, and you will bear the full cost.

Evacuation of the population from combat zones will soon resume. If all Israeli hostages are not released and Hamas is not kicked out of Gaza, Israel will act with force you have not known before.

Take the advice of the U.S. President: return the hostages and kick out Hamas, and new options will open up for you—including relocation to other parts of the world for those who choose. The alternative is destruction and total devastation."

This isn't aimed solely at the palestinians, Israel is doing the same in Lebanon, where they destroy crops and forests with illegal weapons like phosphor bombs, and they systematically destroy homes, historical monuments and infrastructure. They also occupy lebanese territory, and they occupy Syrian territory. Currently they are also in breach of the peace agreement with Egypt. It is a criminal, expansionist state. This is surely evil. If it's pure evil? I don't know, don't care, that difference doesn't mean anything to me.

Funnily the word "font" is in fact now used in digital publishing for what is more properly called "typeface". In traditional typesetting "font" refers to one specific size, weight and style of a typeface. That is, Helvetica is a typeface, Helvetica Light Oblique 12pt is a font.

Call it professional bias, but I like to think about it as a big VM. If for some reason, things go awry, the (said) programmer will hit the pause button, then diligently go to the last valid snapshot, fix the bug and then get things going again. If this isn't desired, fixing the current mess is also an option.

The time required for fixing bugs isn't really an issue in this case, he can take as long as he likes.

> Imagine being on top of the world, the richest large country on the planet, and declaring that really you're the victim.

An observation by Umberto Eco in his essay Ur-Fascism:

> 8. The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.

The possible 'validity' of the US being a victim would be NATO allies not spending want they promised, 2% of GDP. But folks like Vance are going after even Poland at times, who is spending more per GDP than even the US in recent years.
> Is hardware so much less valuable?

Margins and TAM.

Those 1000+ customers at Wiz have 7-8 figure TCV deals (I have personally seen a couple of those contracts), and have pipeline in multiple industry verticals - Tech, Telecom, ONG, Healthcare, Finance, Insurance, etc

An embedded and telco oriented firm like Ampere has weaker margins as they have to manufacture hardware, which drastically reduces the amount of money available.

It's also a smaller and more consolidated market with a weaker TAM.

Plagiarizing my own comment from a few months ago below.

We need to ensure maximum interoperability and no differentiation across different computing platforms and applications. And politicians are, of course, the most knowledgeable about these things. Perhaps they should also consider enforcing the following suggestions to open up the marketplace:

— All applications that expect to be in scope for EU regulations should be written in one of the programming languages approved by the Secretariat on Digital Interoperability. The Division of Programming Languages and Operating Systems within the aforementioned agency will also be tasked with adding, removing, or otherwise modifying the list of approved languages and runtimes. In the future, it may even design and release a new language of its own in order to minimize arbitrary uniqueness among digital services within the bloc.

— Companies must submit their feature plans to the Bureau for Open Competition before releasing them to their customers. The BOC will then convene a task force comprising of the submitter's competitors to ensure that the proposed feature would not unfairly harm them in the marketplace.

— Gatekeepers under the DMA must make their source code (extensively documented) available to any other gatekeeper upon request. This will ensure maximum competition in the marketplace.

— Non-EU compliant Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) are hereby banned from being used by gatekeeper and future-gatekeeper companies. Compliant IDEs will enforce policies that discourage and prohibit anti-competitive practices as part of the bloc’s Shift-Left initiative. This will enable digital service providers to prevent tendencies that might harm their competitors.
Three Principles to Graze By
Because the current obsession with security is making systems unsafe and unreliable for users, all while trying to get those users more dependent on said systems in their daily lives.

What is the biggest risk factor with Google account for me? Is it an attacker guessing my password, impersonating me, stealing my photos? No. It's me breaking my phone, and no longer being able to pass 2FA[0][1]. The second biggest risk? Me typing a wrong comment or YouTube, or doing any other minor transgression against ToS of some Google service, and losing access to everything in one go, with no recourse[2].

Note that literally nothing in meatspace ever requires as careful management over years to decades, as 2FA does. There is always a recovery procedure. You may need to stop by the court or a notary, but no matter the fuckup, you can always recover access - to everything except modern Internet services.

[0] - Yes, I have the security codes I generated 15+ years ago; I have them on paper, somewhere. Like most people, I suck at keeping small paper documents accessible and available over years.

[1] - Also yes, I did break my phone, and I survived this without data loss only because I had a complex setup around Pebble and Tasker, that allowed me to operate the phone with non-functioning screen remotely to the point I could mirror the display to the computer and continue from then. Most people in most situations can't do that.

[2] - Other than complaining on HN and hoping some Googler will advocate internally for me - which, as far as I know, they're explicitly not allowed to do, and it's a career-risking move.
