  1. @tikitu Good point. At this stage I was mostly interested in making the case, that using AI poses ethical dilemmas. It's easy to get sucked into a detailed technical debate, with software engineers ;-). So I'm trying to establish a baseline first.

    The nuances you're bringing up are great though. I'd love to explore those deeper, once the second piece is out. I'll be trying to get together some interested people for video calls on that, in both the #plone community and the #asynco network. Shall I send you an invite, once that is getting set up?

  2. @[email protected] still economical at this stage!

    i wonder if the price of gasoline will go up or down? 🤔

  4. You might be interested to learn how I tracked this bug down. In short, I was quite lucky.

    I was working on adding HTTP/3 support to a WebKit-based browser. Suddenly, the browser build began to crash at exit. Closer inspection revealed that apparently the destructor called by __do_global_dtors_aux was for some reason calling free() with a random pointer. Being the kind of guy who really likes inspecting the assembly code just for kicks, rather than trying debug actively, I turned into just objdumping the code. What I saw was this:

    ...
    390f630: 48 00 00 04 b 390f634 <xmlDestructor+0x2c>
    390f634: 3d 80 00 00 lis r12,0
    390f636: R_PPC_ADDR16_HA .text+0x4d8fc8
    390f638: 39 8c 00 00 addi r12,r12,0
    390f63a: R_PPC_ADDR16_LO .text+0x4d8fc8
    390f63c: 7d 89 03 a6 mtctr r12
    390f640: 4e 80 04 20 bctr

    ...
    004d8fc8 <xmlFreeRMutex>:
    ...

    This is the libxml2 destructor, and it should be calling xmlCleanupParser:

    static void
    ATTRIBUTE_DESTRUCTOR
    xmlDestructor(void) {
    /*
    * Calling custom deallocation functions in a destructor can cause
    * problems, for example with Nokogiri.
    */
    if (xmlFree == free)
    xmlCleanupParser();
    }

    So what was going on? Why would the code just branch to the next instruction and then do a bctr-based jump to another location? Initially, I was a bit baffled as this looked rather weird code to be generated by a compiler. When I inspected the libxml2.a itself, sure enough, it did not have such code in it, just the simple branch to xmlCleanupParser. At this stage, I was able to determine that this code had to be created by the linker (ld). Also, the branch was going backwards about 52 MB offset. This helped me realise that this was the so-called "branch relaxation trampoline", and it allowed me to home in on the potential location of the bug.

    I could also see that the offset of the target xmlCleanupParser function within the .text segment of the compiled object was:

    0000007c <xmlCleanupParser.part.0>:

    In the actual binary, that was at offset:

    004d8f4c <xmlCleanupParser.part.0>:

    Now, if you remember, we were jumping to offset 0x4d8fc8 (xmlFreeRMutex) instead. These addresses differed by exactly 0x7c bytes.

    At this point, it was quite trivial to locate the part of our code that didn't correctly disregard the "addend" offset, resulting in a double offset being used.

    I was more than lucky in that the bug was affecting a functionality (a destructor) that was hit 100% of the time, rather than the gazillion other code paths in the browser. I also later noticed that a total of nine such branches had been affected. The eight others were not hit normally (or maybe never!).

    Thank you for picking this great theme.

    One of the things I love about kpop is its sheer abundance. Not only do groups release music with a frequency that makes the western industry look sluggish, but the music shows feed hungry fans like me with novel stages every day of the week.

    So no surprise that I'm going to post not just one but three stages that have struck me as especially memorable:

    1) After School -- First Love -- M COUNTDOWN 2013.6.13

  8. let’s try and compost the mess in this, there is nothing wrong with being your own person, having an authentic inner life, and cultivating a strong sense of self. In fact, psychological separation from family, nation, and community is a critical aspect of human maturity. This perspective was forcefully argued by the socialist psychologist Erich Fromm, who saw the problem not in individualism per se, but in what we might call hyperindividualism, toxic individualism or what I call #stupidindividualism in the #hashtag story.

    The three-stage psychological development process that captures the journey of human maturity:

    • Absorption of worldview, when we are born, we absorb the worldview of our family, community, nation, or clan. In this, one’s identity is intertwined with these external structures—what Fromm calls “blood and soil.” People in this stage see themselves as extensions of their family or nation.
    • Independence of thought, as we mature, an authentic inner self begins to develop, and we break away from external identities. Achieving independence of thought to not rely on the beliefs and views of others to define ourselves. At this stage, a person’s identity comes from their authentic inner life, rather than from intense belonging to tribe, country, or religion.
    • Reconnection through solidarity, the final stage, involves reconnecting with others, but not through blind conformity. Instead, this stage requires a re-connection through solidarity—a unity with others that does not destroy one’s individuality. Psychological health, according to #Fromm, requires this balance: to be oneself and yet be connected to the broader human community in a meaningful way.

    When people fail in the progress through these stages, social and psychological dysfunctions grow. For instance, fascism, Fromm argued, is a product of being stuck in the first stage, where they crave authoritarianism because they have not grown as authentic individuals. On the other hand, those stuck in the second stage, cannot reconnect with humanity, also suffer from isolation and alienation.

    Capitalism is “individualist” and anti-individualist, it is heralded as a system that celebrates the individual. However, this is a misleading portrayal, as #capitalism is both “individualist” and anti-individualist. If you truly think for yourself within capitalism—questioning the status quo, challenging authority, or stepping outside the normal #mainstreaming roles—If this is threatening, you are ridiculed, ostracized, ignored, and marginalized. Genuine individuality, especially when it contests capitalist norms, is not celebrated but rather suppressed.

    In the current path, individualism is for the rich. The wealthy can afford to “be themselves” because they have the means to cushion the consequences. Everyone else must conform—follow orders at work, keep their heads down, buy the same cheap products, watch the same blockbusters, and generally consume and behave as they are told. Deviating from this path risks economic ruin and social exclusion. The stupid part “freedom of choice” is in the current mess reduced to trivial decisions like choosing between McDonald’s or Burger King, or which big-budget superhero movie to watch. This mess reduces human worth to economic output and consumer choice, devaluing real individuality that does not conform to its profit-driven logic.

    Thus, the individual within capitalism is constrained, workers are rendered disposable the moment they are no longer “useful” to the corporate machine. This mess is full of irony: while capitalism promotes the ideal of rugged #individualism, it actually holds contempt for the vast majority of individuals who do not fit into its narrow path. The distortion of individualism, capitalism turns individualism into a competitive drive that compels people to measure their life’s worth in the greed and fear driven push of personal successes and failures, rather than by group and community paths. This divisive force undermines collective solidarity.

    “Socialism entails a collectivism which does not suppress the individualism of bourgeois society, and in contrast to the ‘crude’ collectivism of very poor working class communities, is a collectivism which transcends (or sublates) individualism.”

    This path of collectivism does not erase individuality, instead, it moves past the hollow, competitive individualism pushed by capitalism. This balancing of collectivism encourages personal development in the context of a supportive community. In conclusion, the problem is not individualism, but the path that warps it into stupidindividualism, a toxic, isolating force that fragments solidarity and community, this is the “stupid” in the hashtag #stupidindividualism, yes it is stupid and makes us stupid, we do need to talk about this to compost mess.

  9. 🚨🔴 Bayer 04 Leverkusen want Piero #Hincapie to stay this season!

    No talks with other clubs at this stage.

    Bayer consider the 22 y/o as a top defender, who will get his regular matches next season.

    But: Hincapie is still open for a new challenge. There are inquiries and talks with other top clubs. Contract valid until 2027. One to watch in the next three weeks.

  14. @ton thanks... this is the 6th time I have had to waste the first hours of each event with this mess. The person who "common sense" keeps doing this needs to be disciplined or sacked at this stage if they are a paid employee #ngiforum2023

  15. ℹ️ ManUtd, at this stage the favorite in the poker for Benjamin #Pavard!

  17. Helping others is the thing I most enjoy at this stage of my career. Enter a new engagement offering at #TheIntersection … Percentage Product Marketing.

    You might be in early stage mode and know you need product marketing but not quite at that point where sustaining an FTE makes sense. Or maybe you're looking to stand up a new Product Marketing function and need help establishing the charter for the team, defining a blueprint for the roles needed, maybe even some help interviewing candidates. I am here to help you through this stage and processes and be set up for success!

    Use #hashtags is all we recommend at this stage. We just find them so important on fediverse.

    While #writingPosts we tend to turn all #definingNouns and important #concepts into a hashtag. It just makes this so much easier in future, and we like the idea of finding only truely relevent posts later.

  20. The #baltic #european #railway news seems still a bit speculative at this stage (with #OTAN - #Russia conflict inside) but interesting to read about the switch to European #gauge of 1435 mm wide from the #Russian gauge of 1520 mm.
    "Hailed as the largest #infrastructure project in the region for the past 100 years, #RailBaltica is a new #rail #transport infrastructure with the goal of integrating the Baltic States in the European rail network.The project includes five European Union countries – #Poland, #Lithuania, #Latvia, #Estonia and indirectly also #Finland. It will connect #Helsinki, #Tallinn, #Pärnu, #Riga, #Panevežys, #Kaunas, #Vilnius, #Warsaw."
