You're talking about libc design choices, not constraints imposed by the kernel. To the kernel, a post-fork pre-exec process is just any old process. GP was suggesting post-fork processes were constrained in the syscalls they could

> The things you can do between fork and exec are sometimes underestimated. Off the top of my head, you can call dup2(), you can set a process group id, probably a few other things. What do you mean underestimated? You can do anything

SpaceX's launch business is great, but does not justify the majority of the valuation.

In what sense can you not retrofit the zygote pattern?

It would make up less than 0.15% of the index with the limited float available at IPO. Even if it went to zero, your portfolio wouldn't notice it.

by loeg 5mo ago
You're making a similar mistake treating it as fait accompli that SpaceX will tank between IPO and some future date, but that isn't a given either.

I don't think doom and gloom on HN had any effect, no.

My take from the SCW interview is that the Mythos harness isn't all that important and the author thought it would be even less important with future models. But maybe I misremember.

I'm sorry to hear it, and glad you seem to be on the mend with a positive prognosis.

It is not obvious that SpaceX's price will fall (and not instead rise) between the IPO and whatever date you have in mind.

It seems like Buettner in particular had a bunch of for-profit business ventures tied up in blue zone marketing bullshit, so that is a sort of non-academic motivation to keep the music going.

To be clear, your quote is not a claim the article makes. That sentence in the article is paraphrasing Saul Newman's claims. The article itself explicitly disavows the claim, treating Poulain and Buettner generously and giving them p

You didn't miss anything. There aren't any new facts in the article. It treats the original blue zone researchers very generously, waves its hands about drawing conclusions on whether the original blue zone research was due to p

This is basically not true. The particular makeup of the calories you're consuming matters. E.g., it is likely (but not proven) that dietary fiber is causal for reducing rates of common cancers. And also likely that dietary saturate

No, they were fraud. Eating healthy, exercising, and having friends is great advice for statistical longevity, but is distinct from the concept of "blue zones," which were just pension fraud.

Hacker News, a forum run by an American tech incubator headquartered in SF... (I don't even live in California.) None of that really explains away your leap to incorrect conclusions and failure to apologize.

Do you think if stolen property is eventually recovered, in some condition, it's "no harm, no foul?" Or, maybe it would be beneficial for society if theft didn't happen in the first place?

Just "SF stabber mayor" would have been enough; it's fine to admit you were just extremely lazy and quick to jump to dismiss GP's claim, and apologize. It was major ish news.

It is not obvious that excluding SpaceX is (1) better for index investors or (2) what index investors/buyers want. Passive index investors buy the whole market. For better or worse, SpaceX is (will be) part of the whole market. Most

The writers didn't need to be "good" for this kind of work.

There's no obviously correct answer here.

> And now the tools are there for anyone to generate bullshit at a scale commensurate to their wallet. This was always true, right? With enough $, you can employ N writers. But the constant factor is smaller than it once was.

Yeah, that's the most charitable possible interpretation. But a fiction writer could just as easily write a utopias as a dystopia, and one isn't any more "real" than the other. It's just fiction.

by loeg 5mo ago
The thing about fiction is, it's fiction. The author can write whatever outcome they want. It doesn't necessarily tell us anything about the real world.

Elaborate? Kernel shared memory interfaces are often reasonable (vdso, io_uring).
