I want to know in which way is USB-C applicable here. The complicated plug that's actually 30 different protocol's that's difficult understand what capabiltiies a plug/cable actually has?
Yes, but not of the sophistication required to produce a typical ARM CPU.
It's similar to their optimization of the web for their customers. To remain indexed you have to jump through all their hoops which means you derive income and therefore are at least potentially an advertiser.
When x and y are primitives, yes. But if they're objects, final only prevents you from re-assigning them. You could still call methods that mutate them.
It blows my mind that developers will install things like npm, random libraries and so on on their machine, sometimes their personal one with the keys to the kingdom so to speak. But then again, people are now installing MCP servers the same way and letting LLMs run the show. Incredible really.
Depends what you’re doing, but I think these are sensible defaults:

HTML/CSS/JS won’t go out of style (could use templates like Askama, utility classes like tailwind to speed things up)

Axum is a nice option for backend because it’s much less buggy than the Python/JS stuff

Redis / Valkey for a KV cache

PostgreSQL database

Well the load balancer is still up, but its just doing a redirect loop now.

I can't imagine a single 302 request getting redirected 10x in a loop to the redirect limit per visitor is good for bandwidth.

And yet a consumer durable is a consumer durable regardless of whether the manufacturer stays in business, at least before the modern practice of giving everything an Internet connection and making it phone home to keep working (which CollapseOS explicitly avoids). The Mac LC that I got in 1991 would still boot up in 2012. The CD-ROMs that I burned in the late 90s, I was able to transfer to external hard disk in 2021. My solar panels and PowerWall continue to work when the power and Internet goes down.

Post-collapse society will look very different from modern Information-age society, and will definitely have a lot more people growing their own food. Knowing how to identify plants, and the care instructions (sun/soil/water/space requirements) for each variety you're growing, and how other people have handled problems like pests and rot, can save you several years of failed harvests. Several years of failed harvests is likely the difference between surviving and not surviving.

The old prepper adage is "two is one, one is none".

If you know you need a can of tuna for tuna salad, buy two. If you only have one in your pantry, get a second one the next time you go shopping. Just having a backup bottle of ketchup is amazing, because you always notice you've got a mostly empty bottle of it when the pasta is already cooked an everyone is hungry.

Plant proteins are good for storage, beans, chickpeas and even soy in different forms store well and are easy to use in day to day cooking. You can only take so much canned tuna and other canned meats are either crazy expensive or just plain gross.

Just remember to ONLY stock up on food you actually use. Don't buy a massive box of dried camping food unless you go camping and actually eat it. It's not exactly gourmet even when it's fresh - even less so when it expired in 2015. Ask me how I know :D

My objection is Elon Musk and Tesla superfans will go to great lengths to spin events in Musk and Tesla's favor and X is their mouth piece. I looked at the replies under Mark Rober's video and it's the typical flood of Musk and Tesla super fans raging at him. Someone needs to explain why Mark Rober would post a misleading test. He seems like a solid guy. People I respect follow him, such as Palmer Luckey, Leopold Aschenbrenner and Andrej Karpathy.

> Being better than "average" is a laughably low bar for self-driving cars. Average drivers include people who drive while drunk and on drugs. It includes teenagers and those who otherwise have very little experience on the road. It includes people who are too old to be driving safely. It includes people who are habitually speed and are reckless... (etc)

But... that's the reality. If we replace human drivers with self-driving cars at random, or specifically the bad drivers above, then we've improved things.

We are not going to easily improve the average human driver.

It’s not unique.

We’re coming out of a long growth period fueled by two decades of war and the inflation that came with it, first in asset values from ZIRP and then from the COVID capital infusions.

Look at where we sit economically, at least in the US. Real estate, a core economic and political engine is a bomb waiting to go off. Commercial real estate is totally underwater. Residential real estate is in another bubble. I won’t go into the madman in DC that’s gonna light the fuse.

Everyone knows it at some level, so projects are getting cancelled. Changes add value but create problems. Take away change and the implode demand for labor. Avoiding the need for marginal later lowers the marginal cost, so you start purging expensive people.

In exactly the same way, complexity you don't understand the purpose of is often disregarded as complexity for complexities sake.

It's easy to get things simple and wrong, and hard to get things simple and right. And sometimes complexity is there for a good reason, but if you don't work hard to understand, you'll fall into the "simple and wrong" camp often.

The currently-dominant open source paradigm (i.e. motivated and well-meaning developers work themselves to the bone under pressure from tech giants who will never pay them) is clearly not sustainable. Moreover, many are probably not happy with their code being used (without permission) to train machines whose putative intent is to replace those self-same developers. Now the question is, how many will want to do something similar, again?
Django is the productive choice, choose it first and you won't have to reinvent it. Htmx pairs well, until you need something fancier. Postgres for data.
Sure, there’s the math, but there’s also the human nature part of it. If you’re sitting in the right lane doing the speed limit, watching dozens of cars consistently zip past, it feels like you’re “falling behind” all of that traffic. I wonder how that will be received by the riding public.

> A "tiny bit more" thinking is not sufficient.

They could've at least looked at what other languages were doing at the time, and that would have been much better than what they ended up with. However, as with many other aspects of Go, the creators ignored existing work and went with what seemed like improvements to problems from decades ago.
my chief grief with Apple is the same as yours, I solve it by using a home server w/ self hosted pwas to do everything this pocketable "computer" should be able to do.

I think people need to get used to the idea that the West is just going backwards in capability. Go watch CGI in a movie theatre and it's worse than 20 years ago, go home to play video games and the new releases are all remasters of 20 year old games because no-one knows how to do anything any more. And these are industries which should be seeing the most progress, things are even worse in hard-tech at Boeing or whatever.

Whenever people see old systems still in production (say things that are over 30 years old) the assumption is that management refused to fund the replacement. But if you look at replacement projects so many of them are such dismal failures that's management's reluctance to engage in fixing stuff is understandable.

From the outside, decline always looks like a choice, because the exact form the decline takes was chosen. The issue is that all the choices are bad.

Have they ever issued a fine for 4% of revenue? That's the maximum fine possible, under the non-standard "higher maximum" category. This breach surely won't be given the maximum considering there isn't really anything noteworthy about it.

We should consider the maximum that has actually been issued, than subtract some off of that. You also have to subtract out all of the money they saved over the years of reduced investment into security.

I think that lands us squarely back into "cost of doing business" land.
This begs the question, how can we protect our private data specially given large data hacks and leaks ?

Appreciate your work! Your piece was pivotal in changing my mind about whether this should be considered in our purview to address.

The intention-based philosophy of all this makes a lot of sense, was eye opening, and I agree it should be the first approach. Unfortunately after considering our use cases, we quickly realized that we'd have no way of knowing how customers intend to use the csv exports they've requested - we've talked to some of them and it's a mix. We could approach things case by case but we really just want a setup which works well 99% of the time and mitigates known risk. We settled on the prefixing approach and have yet to receive any complaints about it, specifically using a space character with the mind that something unobtrusive (eg. easily strippable) but also visible, would be best - to avoid quirks stemming from something completely hidden.

Thank again for your writing and thoughts, like I said above I haven't found much else of quality on the topic.
Those weren’t the claims the grandparent made. Europeans do work less and vacation more often, but even when you account for this, they still earn less per hour worked.

Vacation time itself might be a good metric for quality of life (which I am not disputing is probably comparable if not better in Europe if you discount the importance of material wealth), but time abroad is not since Americans have access to a lot more variety within America than a European would have within their own country; it’s the same reason more Europeans have passports.
It's like saying "it's really hard to build both a nuclear reactor and a quadcopter".

It's technically true but makes the second one sound a lot harder than it really is. A hobbyist can make a cubesat, and if they do something clever they might even find a grant to pay for the launch.
The point is it doesn't have a developer community that could maintain the project without Google.
Linus is perfectly capable of making the same point less aggressively, he's done so on the same topic [0].

I don't think that's true. There's always other options.

FreeBSD tripped over an issue recently where a C++ program (I think clang?) used a collection of pointers and output values in an order based on the pointers rather than the values they pointed to.

ASLR by itself shouldn't cause reproducibility issues, but it can certainly expose bugs.
> AVs, by virtue of being able to coordinate fleet-wide and ability to park anywhere rather than only one's home or destination, would be able to gain incredible efficiencies relative to status quo.

> Atop those efficiencies, removing both the constraint of having a driver and the constraint of excessive safety systems to make up for human inattentiveness means AVs can get drastically smaller as vehicles, further improving road utilization (imagine lots of 1- and 2-seaters zipping by). And roads themselves can become narrower because there is less room for error with AVs instead of humans.

The first part is mostly describing taxis, so the incredible efficiencies relative to the status quo can be loosely observed through them. Just subtract out wage and a slight "technological scale" bonus, and you can estimate what it would be. Then add in the expected investor returns for being a technology company and see the improvements disappear.

The second part, I wonder. Cars already average under 2 occupants, with most just being the driver. If this is what is was needed for significantly smaller cars, we would already have them. Lack of smaller cars is mostly a cultural issue, not a technical one.
I don’t think it’s the focus of this, but we do now live in a time where the collapse could potentially happen in an hour.
You can write data race free code with just compiler reorder fences and extremely limited sync primitives on x86/64, but cannot with most other ISAs.
In my world (VHDL/Verilog and some C/C++) there's a difference between the "fetch" and "build" steps. It's perfectly reasonable for the fetch step to require network access; the build step should not.

The real problem is that some language ecosystems conflate those two steps.
It also taught me that normal people don't understand supply chain logistics.

Yes, your local store doesn't have toilet paper, but that doesn't mean it's "run out".

The logistics center 100km away has literal pallets from floor to ceiling of toilet paper, they just don't have the capacity to move them to the stores to meet the spike in demand.

Yeah that's a half-assed apology. Yesterday's post might have unintentionally sent a lot of heads spinning, "this is not the way to do this" is not an apology, it's a double-down.

I understand there is a potential heap overflow with atop, thanks for letting everyone know; but you're also letting the people capable of taking advantage of it aware that there is possibility to do this in the wild. Due process is let the developers fix it and then tell everyone to upgrade.

Anyway a C process that runs as root for lifestyle purposes (e.g. not a critical service) is a big no-no. And I say this as I like to write C, I love C. But I wouldn't push my C code on anyone else's computer, especially requesting root access. I'm not that good.
I am not saying that follows from the formal UAT, I'm saying that in general, if we assume that the human brain is simply producing outputs in response to inputs, I have no reason to believe that a neural net couldn't be constructed to approximate the same outputs given the same inputs. And specifically, the threshold of "good enough approximation" I chose is effectively just a stronger form of the turing test. AI has arguably already passed a weaker form of the turing test (most people in the world cannot tell the difference between a human-written and an AI-written article, for example).

Source control only helps you if everything is committed. If you're, say, working on changes to the FreeBSD boot loader, you're probably not committing those changes every time you test something but it's very useful to know "this is the version I built ten minutes ago" vs "I just booted yesterday's version because I forgot to install the new code after I built it".
