I was almost bitten by a project like this, despite ample protests the whole way long that "configuration" was just becoming a "crappy programming language". All too often I still have to deal with someone who thinks because logic hinges on a value in a JSON file, they've magically abstracted away the concern of what it is that the code should be doing.
Basically what your example is describing is jQuery with some functions wrapped around some stuff. Sure, if you want to write a ton of imperative code, you can do that, but people who have been building UIs on the web for a couple decades have been down that road and have collectively determined it’s a nightmare.

A similar system is molly-guard [1], which replaces the reboot/halt/poweroff/... commands with scripts that make you type in the name of the machine before proceeding. Avoids shutting down the wrong machine because you forgot where you SSH'd.

Perhaps because many believe that at minimum existing solutions don't successfully present a useful abstraction whereas people have been over promising for decades.

At maximum that a gui represents a bad abstraction that can't be used by non coders effectively to produce code save for when actual code exists that sufficiently specifies the program. For example a gui builder can help you build your web based store but is insufficient to build the tool that builds the store.
>I've never understood Big Auto's reluctance on EV tech.

Clearly there is a reason.

Even today, it's obviously true that EVs have major limitations. Limitations that were more pronounced before modern-day electronics and battery technology. I'm not sure if you could release a competitive EV in the 80s (for example).
The best talent always has and always will command top-dollar. We're talking about reddit here.
I don't know how you are drawing that conclusion and it is irrelevant to the original discussion about having a track record of safety. Neither company has proven their system is as safe or safer than humans. Tesla at least has a much longer track record of their system not being substantially more dangerous than humans. Waymo doesn't have enough data to say even that.
I can see no reason why not. Just don't put it on GitHub, put it on a private hosting in a country unfriendly to copyright trolls.

Absolutely not, mutually assured destruction only works if both sides know that the other is committed to carrying out a retaliatory strike in the minutes before their death. It’s essential that the person in the position to order a retaliatory strike be someone ready to kill hundreds of millions of people for no reason other than the fact that they said they would. Putting emotional barriers between that person and the codes they need to carry out that enormous responsibility just makes it less likely that they will be able to follow through. If there’s sufficient uncertainty about whether there will be a follow-through then the nuclear arsenal loses its deterrence factor and we’re back to having to live with the fear that our rational enemies may carry out a first strike on us.

The article we're discussing would suggest that the attack surface for any kind of complex machinery is very wide. A car doesn't need to be drive-by-wire to be potentially endangered by malicious code affecting the engine or battery.
I don't think this is useful for an api. This is only useful when humans are the direct user of the component. Automated users, like those of an API will dutifully provide the required safety value.
You can remove Microsoft's certs from the trust store used by the board, though. You can choose to keep them to facilitate dual boot with Secure Boot on, but you can also choose to eject them from the trust store.

Sure, they're loaded by default, and you can argue that we can't prove the board isn't gonna trust them behind your back -- but that applies to older non-open hardware too.

My bigger annoyance is Intel Boot Guard. I want Intel to let us control the firmware more directly -- even if it requires some physical authorization/kills some DRM component in ME or something. But that's not happening anytime soon...
Well yeah, that's the logical conclusion of this policy. Anyone who thinks Bay Area salaries are going to be standard nationwide is delusional. That's not how supply/demand works.
I was curious just how many chips per wafer they net. From this 2018 article[1], it appears to be ~530 at 5nm, which would be $32ea if that yield is accurate. The same article estimated 7nm chips came out to $18ea.

Apparently, R&D spend went up 50% from 7nm to 5nm. I'm curious to see how many flavors of the A14 Apple cooks up given the comparatively high die cost.

It's also pretty easy to take an item and walk out without paying. But it doesn't happen. At least, it doesn't happen that much, and I would guess it happens much less in China than in the USA (though I'd be curious to see actual shrinkage numbers).

QR codes seem to have largely supplanted cash and credit cards in mainland China, whatever hypothetical downsides they might have. And the very limited hypothetical advantages of NFC (it's unclear to me what they actually are, but let's grant they exist) don't compensate for the fact that an expensive terminal is needed, so NFC isn't displacing QR codes in the near future.
Does it matter if it’s Russian disinformation or disinformation from another interested party?

What we do know is the laptops at left at the repair shop makes little sense. Hunter was going to leave a handful of expensive computers for repair without following up and getting them back? The owner doesn’t even have his contact information?

Then you have Rudy not willing to allow anyone to examine the hard drive. If it was legit this is the easiest way to give the story credibility. Given his refusal, it seems very clear that the data on this hard drive was assembled after the fact.

Who has the technical resources to hack Hunter Biden’s accounts to assemble such a large trove of his personal emails and texts?

Russian Intelligence is by far the leading candidate and there is no one in second place.

It was a clever plan. Fill the drive with legit emails, photos, videos, and texts. Then salt them with a small set of carefully produced and incredibly damaging forgeries.

Release right before election, with enough time to maximize impact, but not enough time for anyone to detect the forgeries. Bam!

Was a good plan, but the press is far more savvy about these types of attempts now.
Do you know whether/how it can deal with database tables dependent on source .csv files?

My job involves lots of ETL-type work, where the extracted source file(s) for a particular table might have names that include the extract date or version, and a table might depend on other tables. I've been looking at make for dealing with the process, but automatic dependency management seems hard, and dealing with the variable source file names even harder (possibly because I'm not more than a make novice).
Put another way: every electric motor is also a generator and vice-versa. If you induce the motor to absorb energy from the power supply rather than emit it, that energy has to go somewhere. As usual, when not specified, "somewhere" tends to mean heat, sound, and inelastic deformation of anything in relatively close proximity to the excess energy.
Well put especially the last bit.

Not sure what you're saying. GM was early (earliest really) to the EV game, and has good EV tech. Excellent, even, it's just... GM cars are fairly underwhelming in other ways. Still, the Volt is the best car I've ever owned.

They just don't ship them in volume because it's not yet profitable to do so. Whatever they produce of the Bolt, they sell. They just don't produce that many. Still, not as bad as some other companies, like Toyota, etc. that have only produced EVs where required by compliance.

Unlike Tesla, they don't have investors willing to take risky bets. They have to turn a profit and pay dividends. They're a massive multinational corporation that ships many multiples of the volume that Tesla ships.

When batteries get cheap enough and the supply of them reliable enough, they will be entirely able to supply any demand that is out there.

> What justification do you have for asserting that the safety critical systems are actually separated/isolated?

I don't need to justify anything, I am stating they are isolated in all the vehicles I am familiar with. [0] The example from the Jeep Cherokee is a pretty crude architecture defect, the only way that could happen is in vehicles with a single CAN bus, which really is something out of the 1990's.

> What makes Big Auto so dependent on Big Oil?

The fact that 99% of Americans live within spitting distance of a gas pump that will fully charge an ICE car in under 3 minutes.

I would love to ditch my family's ICE car for an equivalent EV, but because we live in an apartment, and because my wife (who drives) does not work for a fabulously wealthy tech company that has employee garage chargers [1], we have nowhere to charge it.

As chargers are slowly getting better, and slowly proliferating into garages and parking spaces, and dedicated EV charging stations, this equation changes. But this sort of thing takes decades of effort, and trillions of dollars of capital investment.

The same way that it's been the year of Linux on the desktop [2] (for the past 20 years), every year has been the year of the EV. It's going to happen someday [3], but it's not going to happen quickly.

[1] When I did drive to my workplace at a fabulously wealthy tech company, it had twelve charging stations in a five-hundred vehicle parking lot. You look at that, and then tell me if EVs are ready for prime-time.

[2] Ironically, we've long hit, and passed the point where we hit the year of Linux in the car.

I'll bring it up because the article doesn't, but Exxon was active in climate research in the 70s and 80s, but when it became clear that politicians around the world were going to do something about it, Exxon did a 180 and then stoked up the the doubt PR machine.

Tens of thousands of scientist spend decades doing the hard work of collecting data, building models, testing hypotheses and on the other side some politician or talking head with a reach of millions says: "Fake news. Scientists say that because they are getting paid to toe the party line.", often paired with "It would cause immeasurable wealth to change things and destroy the economy" without doing one damn thing to quantify or prove their claims. And yet these thought leaders are treated with respect by the press.

If a climate researcher is willing to sell their soul and lie about climate research for a $50K/year job, just imagine how much lying corporations are willing to do for tens of billions of dollars a year.
Polls before occupation were in the range of 40-60%. If that's a good enough metric for conducting drive-by referenda under the watchful eye of heavily armed 'observers', someone tell the Catalonians and the Scots about this option (among many others).
I don't think you're being hyperbolic, the ruinously bad updates broke my addiction to reddit too. The charitable take is that they made it deliberately shit to drive adoption of their official app. If it's not that, then they must be hilariously incompetent.
that's not how it works... as it is not a zero sum (i.e. the work is not bounded/fixed but it increases).

IDEs and higher level tools help engineers become more productive. They can do more, with less. This raises the bar on products, and the demand of customers for them (things are pretier, easier to use, etc..), which in turn creates more domains for software to be used, and more demand for engineers.

Google "Induced Demand"
I'm gonna go against concensus and say I agree. There are countless excuses for why it's a net neutral or even a positive for us to waste our most finite resource (time). But chances are, you're not going to be glad you played that one extra game, or watched more TV shows, when you're on your deathbed.

I don't accept that life is about happiness. Happiness is too vague of a term, used to describe multiple different things. Does it mean a measure of how much pleasure one is feeling in a given moment? Satisfaction with one's own life? How much entertainment someone manages to have?

We could reduce the argument that life is about simple pleasure to its logical conclusion, and ask why it wouldn't be optimal to use drugs and/or a neural device to induce a semiconscious, lasting state of maximal pleasure. I don't accept that most people would choose this life. And to anticipate that objection that it's because you have to look at a ultiliarian view of everyone's happiness, I don't think most people would choose to have everyone collectively in that state, either.

I assert that life is about meaning. That's why the above doesn't sound appealing (probably). What do you do that is truly meaningful, to yourself? That is what makes a life well lived and gives you satisfaction, and it's separate from how happy you feel.

And it could be chess games. It's up to us to look inside and figure it out for ourselves. I'm just tired of people expressing existential angst and it being met with "it makes you feel good so it's good".
That sounds more like an issue with Zoom and the Chromebook. :/ My ~8 year old desktop works great with video chat in Firefox.

Then again my 8 year old desktop has 32GB of RAM and it is amazing what throwing 32GB of RAM can do to solve problems.

I've actually used video chat in multiple web apps for years now w/o issue though. In theory almost every aspect of video chat should be offloaded to GPU, the browser should just be a dumb canvas to throw pixels at, if that isn't the case then something has gone wrong somewhere in a particular setup. :(
Unless atoms have free will then everything that will be has always been, right?
Call me old fashioned, but the old version of reddit on mobile without mobile styling or any media queries is a far better experience than any Reddit app.
I think there's an even simpler reason than this... some companies that hire remote employees use the same payscale everywhere, and that gives remote workers substantial negotiation leverage. An offer for remote work from one employer that was NYC-based and offered me an NYC-competitive salary in a much cheaper city was enough to talk a different company which leveled by city substantially upwards. Having watched this effect happen, if I were considering moving while working for a company that would relevel salary based on CoL, I would almost certainly be considering offers from other employers - and if I were a manager with an employee who was moving to go remote I would really push back on adjusting their salary, knowing that there are competing employers who won't, and the employee will probably find out one way or another.

I wouldn't call myself a source of advice on remote work necessarily because I kind of fell into remote work by accident pre-COVID, and COVID has really solidified the situation. But it also seems like remote work is going to be on the rise outside of the context of COVID. I live in a city with very little tech industry and so I only rarely here from recruiters, and those that do contact me are usually talking about relo to a different city. Just over the last two months or so I've started hearing from recruiters at nearly the level I did when I lived in San Francisco - and they're mostly not talking relo.

That's part of what makes them top-tier!
Electric vehicle manufacturing is almost a different business model from ICE vehicle manufacturers. If you look at the history of car manufacturing, you'll see that the early ones would just deliver a chassis (usually with an engine and transmission). Even the body was 'aftermarket'!

Electric vehicles have no engine, and the entire drive-train is simpler, so it's now easier and more important to be vertically integrated (like Tesla).

Ah, appreciate the response!

Another suggestion is to gray out the 'Start Review' button if there's nothing to review. I couldn't figure out if my test cards were made correctly when it kept saying 'Review Completed!'

I now assume the reason was that the algorithm (?) doesn't have you review cards until a certain amount of time was passed so that screen just indicates there's nothing left to review.

I'd also suggest a way to test the features before creating an account. Perhaps let someone upload and edit a document and only save it once they've created an account.
The supply chain that caters specifically to ICEs is huge and all of that will have to go when electric motors replace ICEs. The same goes for all the technology, tooling and expertise that goes into creating today's ICEs. Imagine how many people are experts at just one tiny part of ICE technology. They might have 20 to 30 years experience all of which will be worthless after a transition to EVs.
Bad enough, but b look at the cars threy sell today!
So why should this be limited to the US?

If the same person relocates to Bermuda why is Reddit not giving them the same money they would give in the top tier US cities? Even better, Reddit will save even more money on them because they wont have to pay payroll taxes.

Or if an employee moves to Mexico City, or even Canada, why would their pay be adjusted down?
Indeed! Next thing on our to-do list is to update a those. Thanks for the heads up :)
Does it really inspire joy? Or does it just give pleasure? They are not the same.

Why is it reasonable to not lobby against environmental regulations? What if the environmental regulations are unreasonable? For example, 'The Green New Deal' is 90% batshit crazy.
I find it strange that HoTT and HoTT-adjacent stuff gets posted here so often.

Even in the world of pure mathematics, this is a backwater. As I understand it, the two main selling points are providing a foundation for mathematics and a framework for automated theorem proving, but:

1) We already have a perfectly good foundation of mathematics. It's called ZFC [1], and it does everything we need it to do. If all HoTT does is give a theory that's mutually interpretable with ZFC, that's not interesting (at least to mainstream workers in the foundations of mathematics, who would rather tackle substantive problems).

There are also people like Per-Martin Lof who want to use HoTT as a vehicle for doing mathematics with intuitionistic logic, and in particular denying the law of excluded middle, but at that point you've let the mask slip and you're advocating something that interests approximately zero mainstream mathematicians.

2) It's not at all clear HoTT, or type theory in general, is the best solution for formalizing mathematics. It could be, it couldn't be, but this is ultimately an empirical question . Some comments on the state of the field are given in [2].

I grew up just minutes from GM proving grounds. A couple decades ago I was present when someone asked an executive why they don’t sell many EVs. His response was a lack of demand. At the time there really wasn’t much demand.

EVs are still not a slam dunk. Battery recycling is an issue. I’ve talked with people who handle car fleets and there are still other issues for them.

I look forward to these things being solved. I wish the innovation had started earlier so we’d be further along.
> Can you suggest where those artifacts should be stored?

It depends on where you get them. If you're using a compiled object that you get from a 3rd party and you don't have the source or don't build them then I'm not sure what to tell you. You're at the mercy of your vendor anyway so my other arguments against it won't make a difference.

Those AI accelerators aren't really "full CPUs", since there's no cache coherence, really. They're tiny 32kB memory slabs + decoder + ALUs + networking to connect to the rest of the FPGA.

But its certainly more advanced than a DSP slice (which was only somewhat more complicated than a multiply-and-add circuit).

I guess you can think of it as a tiny 32kB SRAM + CPU though. But its still missing a bunch of parts that most people would consider "part of a CPU". But even a GPU provides synchronization functions for its cores to communicate / synchronize together with.
