While environmentalists loosing their shit about carbon footprint of blockchains and LLM models — I have another question: has anyone tried to estimate comparative carbon footprint of JS/JVM/.NET JiT compilers?

How far along has tarfs gotten in ? I've been watching @dchdch :flantifa: :flan_hacker: 's talk on immutable FreeBSD from EuroBSDCon 2023 (1 hour wasn't enough to cover your talk!)

I've been looking into applying the principles but sadly it won't be for $day_job as they've no interest in my FreeBSD ideas but for something else.

I'm curious which sockets were used in the jails. Was /tmp replaced with tmpfs in the jail and did you use a socket to talk to syslog-ng on the host?

In light of the "adversarial poetry" revelations it's dawned on me that maybe Orwell's Newspeak is not an attempt to restrict possible thoughts. It's an effort to _sanitize inputs_ in a world where AI systems people no longer understand can be undermined and sabotaged by just the right (wrong?) kind of expressiveness.

That is to say, Orwellian Newspeak is a (justifiable, necessary?) safety measure in a world where AI-managed infrastructure can be subverted or repurposed by weaponized poetry.
