I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).

@lauren If you notice it happening in the future on publicly-viewable messages, I'd appreciate a heads up so that I can see if there's anything I wouldn't expect about the messages.
I am under the impression that Firefox's password manager is not worse than Chrome's. Let me try to look up the sources that caused me to think so tomorrow.
When does this happen?
`inReplyTo` just links to the immediately prior message, so if your instance didn't get B, it has no way to link A and C. Do instances seriously implement user-level blocks/mutes by doing something like this in the UI, or am I missing some other situation when this behaviour would make some sense?
@dunkelstern TBF if you set up env vars to point at the flake registry you want to use, you get to skip `--inputs-from`.
@rq Sure. Computer networks are, however, at least as old as early 1960s.
@rq That made me wonder what was the earliest portable rewriteable data storage.
@steely_glint I'd try hard to make the device not require an Internet connection at all (and not make use of one if it's available). This can sometimes be done by having it talk only BT, or by having it use LAN to communicate with the user (harder, because people something have APs that refuse traffic between different clients). That would make the criticality of updates way lower.
starlink
@kravietz I don't believe this is the reasoning behind their actions. If it were the reasoning, I'd expect starlink to try to publicly provide reasonably detailed rules on service in warzones in an attempt to lessen the risk of blackmail ("unless you favor us in this warzone, we will <damage your satellites, ...>"). What I see is Musk making statements that his decisions depend on likely _military outcomes_, which seems to me as a way to achieve the exact opposite.
@eta did you happen to look at what are the provided reasons for both questions?
A problem that occurs is that you sometimes need to operate on those secrets, so they end up in registers or on stack. Then they stay there until the next time that register/stack area is used. Vector registers aren't used that often, so secrets end up staying there longer.
You could try to have a compiler that cares about where data stays behind, but that would make performance worse, so you'll need to mark data for which this is important. That has to be "contagious": you must never be able to silently cast that property away (and should _never_ cast it away). So, you need alternate versions of e.g. libc functions that will operate on "data not to be left afterwards", which implies that it's more of an all-ecosystem evolution than msan support (where you "just" need everything to be compiled with msan, not everything to be duplicated).

@samwho Rust is even more aggressive about some of this. You'd have to Pin<> things at a minimum, and that may not be enough. And any code that involves Pin<>s is usually a pain.
Put your secrets in a different address space, ideally in a different processor entirely.
@kravietz Ah, sorry, I was thinking about chamfers and not fillets (3d printing fillets is usually a bad idea, because something somewhere will exceed the maximum overhang angle). For extrusions you can easily get chamfers on the sides along the extrusion length, but getting them on all other edges was always a chore for me that left my list of groups hopelessly nonnavigable, so much that I started wondering whether it'd be better to use solvespace to design 2d shapes, export them as something like svg, and use something like libfive to do the 3d part.
@harce Even better: have something local that will request those pages as `application/ld+json` and render them by itself.
@kravietz Have you found a convenient way to do fillets on all edges of a part?
@koakuma I would suggest luks inside LVM, separately for every volume, using same passwords. That allows you to way more easily choose to have since unenxrypted partition in the future (or even now, depending on how you boot that machine) at a imo small chat if having more places to change the passphrase in.
@danluu Maybe companies choose to engage in PT when they have difficulty hiring, and difficulty hiring can be caused by underpaying?
If we were talking about stable state, this is basically the same as what @mhoye and @danlyke said. However, is there a reason to expect this is a reasonably steady state as opposed to a transition in progress?
I'm also curious about the synchronization mechanism. The mention of a localized flowering in the paper (which I haven't yet read apart from the abstract) seems to suggest that it's not independent for each plant (so either involves communication or synchronization on some external factor).
