* curl is mature enough that the chance of an impactful bug is basically zero * if there is such a bug, I'm sure someone will figure out how to get in touch with Daniel and co * if there is such a bug, it's more important that it gets patched in package managers and rolled out. Upstream releases can wait.

Geneva has the highest minimum wage in the world precisely to try and avoid the "working poor".

Also the "consuner spending is increasingly debt" is very US centric view. The situation in Europe is less extreme and totally absent in many countries.

I struggle to see this. Central Geneva is full of beautiful, well-maintained green spaces and children's play areas with plenty of larger parks scattered around.

Much of the industrialisation and banking industry was driven by immigrants. Arguably the wealth of today is the product of managing to avoid the worst of WWII and profiting from Switzerland's "neutrality" but that's an entire conversation by itself.

More importantly, education isn't everything. Half the economy runs on work that doesn't need higher education and that locals largely won't do: cleaning, care, hospitality, construction. The Spanish and Portuguese speaking workers doing those jobs are propping up a standard of living for everyone.

Japan, Taiwan and China all added dedicated infrastructure which took a long time and cost a fortune (vs the shared tracks currently used for intercity/regional/European freight). Tokyo accepts famously absurd levels of overcrowding during peak hours. Deutsche Bahn in Germany is widely thought of a joke due to chronic underinvestment meaning on-time trains are surprising.

That said, these technical concerns have nothing to do with the 10 million proposal. It's worth asking why a camp that spent decades opposing sustainability legislation has suddenly discovered the word now that it can be pointed at immigration.

Also many of the most important parts of the system are at capacity. Bigger trains can help but a lot of these gains have already been realised in the crowded areas. The current hope is digitalising signaling to allow density to be increased but that's not simple/cheap even if it's cheaper than working on the lines themselves.

Copying a pasting into a ChatGPT window gave me the lines of code to print the error message rather than failing silently. Copying the error message then gave me a detailed explanation of problem and the diff to fix it. I still have no idea where this knowledge came from as I spent a decent amount of time searching and found nothing about this corner of OpenSSL.

I’m very confident it would have taken me a week to make sense of what the package was trying to do and with LLMs it was done in a couple of hours.

Numerical instability can introduce randomness especially on GPU like hardware unless you’re very careful about how you write your algorithms.

* you measure the round trip time often enough

* the shift affects light in both directions equally

I'm not sure why you would think that? If you can assume the fiber is the same in both directions you know the round trip time is exactly double the latency of the connection. Then you know to phase shift your start time by that much when you get a start signal and you're in sync.

Obviously it's not trivial in practice, but it's not a fundamentally insurmountable problem.
