Code size for RV32IMAC is still pretty mediocre with the current GCC/RISCV compiler. And the standard library they use by default is pretty sub-optimal. I know they're working on it, and it's clear they're making quick progress, but it's not easy at the moment.

OK, how about this:

osh timer 1 ^ \
f 't: (t, processes())' ^ \
expand 1 ^
f 't, p: (p.pid, int(t), p.commandline)' ^
sql "insert into process values(%s, %s, %s)"

- timer 1: Generate a timestamp every second.

- f 't: (t, processes())': Take the timestamp as input and generate a timestamp and sequence of Process objects.

- expand 1: Expand the sequence of Processes, so that there is one per output tuple, e.g. (123, (p1, p2)) -> (123, p1), (123, p2).

- f 't, p: (p.pid, int(t), p.commandline)': Take the timestamp and Process as input, and generate (pid, timestamp as int, command line) as output.

- sql "insert into process values(%s, %s, %s)": Take the triples from the previous command and dump them into a table in a database.

> - People converse slowly, especially on awkward topics like privacy. Opinions change slowly.

And yet you're suggesting government regulation that moves more quickly, which implies that the government shouldn't wait that conversation and consensus to happen. (Leaving aside whether the government should do it even if people do support it, it certainly seems even worse to do it if there isn't such a consensus.)

> But we only have 1 shot at this and it needs to work.

You are presuming agreement with your premise. And you are furthermore presuming that the resulting regulation will work, and will not cause worse damage. (And where does "only have one shot at this" come from, here?)

"The government should exert control over one of the most popular communications mediums" is a terrifying proposition, with the potential to support a huge amount of damage. I don't think it's a given that that damage would be less than the problem it's trying to solve.

Literally tens of thousands of students graduate each year from NYU (16K alone) and other colleges in the area. You're right that skilled workers don't sit around waiting for jobs to show up. They'll go to where the jobs are, which for tech still largely means the West Coast. And I say that as a NYC resident and tech entrepreneur. The tech scene in NY is weak, and non-existent across the river in LIC. Having an Amazon HQ in LIC would have been a great anchor around which to build a stronger startup scene: If your startup fails, hey, there's always Amazon to fall back on (instead of just the financial sector).

But I'm sure the students are actually grateful that they were spared from Amazon and living close to home, and that the Bay Area residents will continue to welcome each new batch with open arms!

Are those updates for vehicle control software, or the entertainment/nav system? I would be surprised if you could, for example, change the engine control software or the ABS software, or the anti-collision safety system via OTA updates.

Updating the entertainment/nav console is more common. My 2018 Ford does that too.
The proof of storage is even trickier.

A multi-account attack (sybil?) can just store the file once, and pretend to store it N times, inflating the cost (attacker revenue) by N fold. I can't see how this is avoidable other than being an authority with insight into most of the internet traffic structure. ...Maybe it is designed to only work within china?

last question was a joke, but note that every single multi-account protection requires a breach of anonymity. That's why most modern distributed protocols try to completely work around any benefit of having multiple accounts. Storage, by definition, can't.
I think they're comparing the F35 to other fighters on the wrong basis.

"The F-35 is a case of massive over ambition to develop one base airframe that can be adapted to replace half-dozen specialized jets. The result is an expensive jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none."

Who says the program was to solely to develop fighters that can outmatch J-20s (or Su-29s or whatever)? Maybe the point of the program is to funnel money out of The Pentagon, and making a fighter is only a second-order effect? Nobody can know, given compartmented, classified knowledge.

Actually, US health insurance plans generally don't cover optometry. That's a separate "vision" plan that you generally only get through an employer if you are lucky. If you don't have it such a plan, you pay out of pocket.
> And yet you're suggesting government regulation that moves more quickly, which implies that the government shouldn't wait that conversation and consensus to happen.

That's right. If the government waits for a consensus, it will never arrive. No action will be taken and society will crumble.

> (Leaving aside whether the government should do it even if people do support it, it certainly seems even worse to do it if there isn't such a consensus.)

Why does it seem worse? The entire premise of not having a full democracy is that sometimes the people are not capable of determining what will help the country prosper in 20-50 years. We elect a body of smart people to help set these courses. It seems obvious and built-in to the system that the government must occasionally pass unpopular legislation.

> You are presuming agreement with your premise.

This is all past-tense though. All of this has already happened, is fact now, and so I feel 100% comfortable stating things that agree with history, as fact that agrees with my points. We have already lost our democracy and a lack of regulation is very clearly at fault, both in electoral law and in tech regulation.

> And you are furthermore presuming that the resulting regulation will work, and will not cause worse damage

I will happily invite studies on this. But there is significant work already that shows that power corrupts, that greed has no end, that we live in a tragedy of the commons where unrestricted markets do not produce optimal outputs for the population.

> I don't think it's a given that that damage would be less than the problem it's trying to solve.

Given the absolutely immense damage that has already occurred, I disagree. I think it is a given that regulation would solve far more problems than it would 'cause'.
Yes. There was a decade or so of production truck frames for Tacoma and Tundra trucks where Toyota paid to replace the frames due to rust. It was supposedly a supplier problem.

Is that a statement based on empirical evidence, or is it based on how things "should" work? In my dealings with courts, "a few pages and a couple of hours" isn't enough to settle anything whatsoever. If the plaintiff provides 650 pages, that's going to mean a lot of claims and arguments that have to be rebutted no matter how ridiculous they are. Right or wrong, that's the way it is.
Insurance companies in the US have to pay out a certain percentage of the premiums they take in (80% last I checked) [0]. So they're also incentivized to let prices climb; their 20% for "administration and profit" is inflated when prices are inflated.

If you ever find yourself near Yuma, AZ, and have a sense for "weird travel" like I do, I'd recommend taking a jaunt into Los Algodones (AKA Molar City) immediately across the border. You can park at the border station and walk in. The tiny city is pretty much entirely dedicated to discount medical sales and is packed to the brim with dentists, pharmacists, opticians, and cosmetologists. When I was there, salesmen would literally call out "cavity? cavity?" to the passersby on the street. It's like some eerie alien recreation of Las Vegas where gambling is replaced with curbside botox and root canals.

We only spent about 20 minutes walking around (probably spent more time in the border office), but it was a super memorable pit stop for me.
> but time has shown either side cannot.

I wouldn't be so pessimistic. Off the top of my head, a number of industries are regulated / heavily regulated and thrive: media; air travel; automotive; transportation of dangerous goods; medicine / dental / veterinary; legal practice.

My early courses prepared me more for a path focused in circuit design, but I jumped ship through exposure to wonderful, wonderful DSP.

I'm currently working on an assignment for CV in which we extract Histogram of Oriented Gradient features from the CIFAR-10 dataset using python, then use them to train one of three classifiers (SVM, Gaussian Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression). I had asked about preprocessing, but was told it was outside the scope of this assignment, so we're just using the dataset as-is. :(

The nice bit is, I have a research internship coming up in a lab that will have me working on actual datasets, rather than toy examples. And, there's a data science club on campus that has an explicit focus on cleaning data which I plan on regularly attending. So... hopefully I'm on the right track!

> I'd expect compression to be too expensive

It's not the kind of compression you might be thinking of. It's just 16-bit "shortcuts" for some of the common 32-bit instructions. The impact in gate count should be minimal. In a lot of these applications you'll have the code in on-chip non-volatile memory which means reducing code size may also reduce chip area.

I think with relatively little increase in gate count you could also make some sequences of two 16-bit instructions execute simultaneously, which could yield nice performance improvements for micro-controller cores.

Also, you might be surprised at how "big" many micro-controllers are becoming these days.
