It wasn't just the original "pedo guy" comment. Musk also hired a private investigator to dig up dirt on his target. He tweeted more, and emailed a Buzzfeed reporter alleging his target was a child rapist. This wasn't ju

You're right. My bad.

So Musk was "too busy" to tell someone "do a background check on this guy" (who was a convicted felon, so not difficult), but not too busy to repeat his claims in emails to Buzzfeed etc. I'm not perfect, but at leas

Taking your version of events at face value: Musk hired a private investigator to dig up dirt on someone who merely criticized his rescue plan, received some lies from said investigator, and uncritically repeated them to his massive social

Twitter management probably didn't have much choice but to accept the deal. Turning down an offer significantly above the stock price sounds like a trigger for a shareholder lawsuit.

The "cave diver paedophile" incident made it abundantly clear to everyone willing to see that whatever else he may be, Musk is a malicious clown. It was always only a matter of time before that had greater consequences.

It won't be long before paedophiles can produce video avatars of themselves as children. In fact they might already be able to do that.

Explain away to a five-year-old but it's not enough. You will also need to practice safe behaviors and sometimes yell.

Why can't you have a maskless face-to-face meeting? I'm having maskless face-to-face meetings in Auckland all the time.

Yeah. I suspect we're only months, or a few years at most, from automation that's as good or better than these human slaves. Then they can A/B test their way to increasing effectiveness. An interesting twist will be to pull t

Eventually the "industry" will burn through the available pool of gullible "investors" who can be suckered into giving up their money. New suckers are born every minute, of course, but they won't be enough to keep t

https://pernos.co does something similar, except that instead of searching for watchpoints/breakpoints we're building a database of everything that happened. That involves replaying different segments of the execution

This is such an obviously valid objection that I'm disturbed the author didn't address it inline.

That shouldn't make any difference.

Chaos mode varies the scale of the tick quantum to try to catch stuff like that. It doesn't always work, especially if the window of vulnerability to the bug is incredibly small (e.g. a few instructions).

No.

You probably could record a process running for days but it would also take days to replay to the end, which would not be much fun. We don't create checkpoints during the recording. You'd be better off restarting the recording per

Old-school interactive debugging tools like gdb and Visual Studio are pretty bad. But new-school debuggers with record-and-replay and features built on top of that --- e.g. rr-project.org, undo.io, replay.io and (plug) pernos.co --- remove

That's all fair, but the blame also falls on compilers, especially clang/LLVM which do a fairly poor job of tracking variable locations through optimizations.

Maybe so, but if so, only because the USA has the biggest economy in the world.

That's true in many, many countries. To pick one: Pakistan.

This hypothetical court-order situation is quite far-fetched. If crates.io was ordered to take down some or all versions of a package, an alternative mirror could easily be created elsewhere and you could configure cargo to use it. But I th

The US government is very far from "the most corrupt" legislature in the world. I agree it's quite corrupt, though.

Actually all of those crates could potentially be implemented in the kernel and be useful. The current implementations wouldn't work as-is, in many cases, but the APIs make sense and the crate could use conditional compilation to work

All crate sources are stored in the crates.io package archive, which never deletes packages. A dependency veering off in a direction you don't like is one of the risks of using someone else's code instead of writing it yourself. C

If your project has a Cargo.lock file checked into its repo, then everyone checking that out will download the same code for all dependencies (unless someone manages to compromise the crates.io package archive). That is very far from &quo

Actually Hong Kong vaccines were about half Pfizer and half Sinovac. The low vaccination rate is the main problem. This article about reasons for that low vaccination rate is quite interesting: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gl
