+1 Based on my perception of being raised in Germany but have lived in Asia for quite some time this is a deep cultural issue in the west. Concepts such as the German 1968 "Macht kaputt was euch kaputt macht" (break what breaks you), 'civil disobedience' but even "Sabotage" born during the industrial revolution as a workers uprising are all deeply embedded culturally. Not all of them I would like to give up, but it's hard to draw the line.

Finally Vandalism is the worst part of it, but mind you it's named after the Vandals a German tribe after they sacked and looted Rome their oppressors captial.

They say young animals learn survival through playful fights. Maybe western youth learns about freedom through throwing meatballs.

I really don't know but would love to read more about this topic.

IMHO the differentiator is deeper yet everywhere engrained in OTP/Behaviours and the famous "Let it crash" slogan. It is the OS-Style process and resource isolation. That is something you can't port with a library into a language that doesn't have it built-in. Lightweight processes, are not the same if they can crash each other, or messup some shared objects/resources/...

You can implement actor behaviours in go or node or even c, but without that lower level support it will never give you the stability guarantees that Erlang process isolation is giving.

To draw a weird comparison Elixir (with Erlang process isolation) brings two world together. First it's a PHP/Ruby level of fire-and-forget productivity because each http request is handled in an independent isolated process, which if it crashes won't affect the system, but instead provide automatically a nicely debuggable crash log. And second it provides natively all distributed tools for long-lived systems. E.g. PubSub , Sessions and database connections don't have to be rebuilt like in ruby/PHP on a per request basis but can be their own long-lived processes.

If there would be a library that could bring this easy to use process isolation+communication e.g. to C programming it would be a game changer. But the best you get in all other languages I'm aware of is to use actual process isolation (fork multiple node/ruby/go processes) and then use some kind of IPC manually or redis or k8s...

Hm, taking 2 hours on my M1 MacBook Air 16GB and it's clearly swapping. Are you using model v1.4? Or any other memory optimization that you applied?

Anyone having experience with contabo.com? I've got a couple of VPS there and so far pretty happy but didn't yet have any more involved interaction with the team or support to fully judge. No managed DBs but object storage as well.

From this response it's not quite clear to me: So this identity collision is against their Curve25519 implementation? Does this mean the attacker has effectively found a new brute force attack on that specific public/private key algorithm? That seems it would be bigger news and affecting more than just zerotier. Or is here some proprietary crypto in place on which the collision has been generated? Maybe I'm missing an important link with the details?

AS or just artificial stupidity I've heard a couple of times. It's quite mind boggling if you think about how many people had to engineer tensors and train networks for months if not years to create a system capable of so blatant stupidity.

I can't help but to see this two ways at the same time. 1st this is totally what we should think and do in terms of moral standard and 2nd this in international law is the perfect vehicle for all kind of end-of-humanity scenarios. Feed this into an AI and it will find the optimal solution to this problem (which might not include human existance anymore), or give this to a lunatic politician and he can use it for his war of aggression. The intention is good but what is the balancing power? How much human life is worth how much CO2/*? And who are the judges?

What's the maximum traction that an electromagnet can cause? Is a thermonuclear powered super- in orbit thinkable? At least most human produced space garbage is magnetic I assume? So if we send multiple of those super magnets into orbit they would clean by slowly attracting small objects. So we reduce the problem from many tiny objects to a few larger easier to track electric dustballs. Anyone has some insight on why that does not work?

Would love to learn how this works behind the scenes. Are Chinese officials giving the Studio a deadline for this kind apology? Or is this proactive self-censorship triggered solely by social media?
