I think building stronger ties with your neighbors is a great way to recruit people to help you move 500 lb barbells. You don't have to be able to lift them by yourself, and why would you want to? You'd just become a single point of failure.

Get to know your neighbors, organize with them, and do the work together to make your neighborhood better. Some reading never hurts, either. If you're in a city, I've found "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" by Jane Jacobs to be really insightful.
The geopolitical angle is not to be forgotten either.

TSMC is majority-based in a country whose land and government is claimed by another, nearby, much larger country. A country willing to leverage international economic options to further that claim.

TSMC's global importance has direct implications on the world's appetite for intervening or preemptively selling arms against a hypothetical Taiwan Strait invasion.

It depends on the printer. I’ve had pretty good luck with brother laser printers coming with full toner cartridges in the past, although my understanding is on many modern models that isn’t the case anymore. You definitely have to read the fine print.
You are right, for some reason I totally forgot about it (probably because I still do it on each node since I started when that feature didn't exist).

> up until they almost literlly bankrupted the nation in the great recession of 2008

Iceland I guess? If you like what you've got, don't try real actual socialism. Believe me, it sucks. You'd regret it.

> I have a good reason to be salty towards the rich

If my guess is correct, you experience is an unique result of a very bad situation which was manufactured by some dirty politicians, some PhD'ed idiots and some greedy bastards (see my comment about the assholes above). That doesn't mean everybody who is rich is a bastard. Having money is a wrong marker, and your saltiness is way off target.

> it meant that the wealth the rich folks are accumulating at record pace would be distributed

That never ever happens. I mean, even if it happened it would amount to tiny crumbs for you ("you livelihood and all you've done for living are gone and you have no means to support you family or procure food, but here's your check for $275, enjoy it!") - you can't both whine about "tiny number of people owning stuff" and expect taking their stuff would make you rich - "tiny number" means you only get a tiny part of it. Arithmetics is a cruel science.

But in fact there's no "distribution" ever possible. Never happened, never will. There's only destruction and desolation. It is possible to target Bill Gates's wealth and destroy it. Shut down Microsoft, make all its workers unemployed, blow up the campuses and wipe out the backups. Can be done. You won't be even $275 richer from that though. Nothing will be "distributed", just destroyed. This is the only way it has ever worked or can work. Revolutions do not make anyone richer, but they do make a lot of people starve and die.

> I would rather make minimum wage in a world where that was the norm

No you wouldn't. I lived in that world, and I haven't seen any single person who after experiencing both wanted to remain in the minimum wage world. Millions wanted to move out and took extraordinary efforts - often risking their lives - to do it. Remember the Berlin wall? Why do you think they needed the wall - is it to hold out the West Germans itching to experience the blessings of the East German minimal wage? How many South Koreans you think want to move to North Korea to enjoy the guaranteed rice rations?

> a world where that was the norm then to be taken advantage of by a wealthy class who consistently adds to their own wealth while the rest either stays the same or gets poorer.

But that's not true. The rest doesn't get poorer - in fact, the number of people living in poverty is declining steadily. Yes, I know you had a bad experience in 2008, but if you're willing to have a broader look you can easily see it: https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty
Odd thing to argue about that is easily provable with a Zillow search. Plenty of half acre lots that sold int he last year for ~$5K east of downtown but certainly before farm country. And capital metro goes past it all the way to the toll road.
Define "lifetime of the product".

If a car manufacturer says they offer a complete bumper-to-bumper warranty for the "lifetime of the product", then if a piston rod has a sudden rapid unplanned disassembly event and destroys the engine in only three months, the manufacturer can say "Well, the engine died, the product reached the end of its lifetime, so the warranty is void."

If the lifetime is "until we end support for that product", they can announce end of support a day after release.

While sure, maybe lifetime of the user might be a bit of an absurd expectation, especially for a subscription to consumables, certainly you'd expect at least a few years, right? This supposed "lifetime" offer lasted less than one year.

The idea that 1) Google is using it to train modelling stuff (I still think is true?:) for free AND 2) on top of that is also charging small startups money for it AND 3) it's annoying as hell as a customer just makes me angerier.

A trifecta of doing evil from Google (well at least two out of three, 1 should cover for 2). And I say that as a relatively pro-capitalist with no problem charging money for services but I'm also pro-privacy and don't like training their AI models for free with them charging the hosts on top of it.

The first part of the sales page is profusely confusing. They offer both ANSI and ISO layouts, but both have an ANSI Enter? Since they supposedly appeal to keyboard enthusiasts, there's a number of switch options, but they're labelled as "regular brown" — only halfway through the page is the producer of the switches mentioned. This keyboard looks like an interesting entree, but the above issues don't exactly instill confidence in attention to detail.
Get involved in local politics. Go to community meetings. Learn who has power and start building your own. These kinds of things take years.

If you don't want to do that, at least start donating to local politicians who you agree with, volunteer for them, tell your friends to vote for them. Local races are often won by dozens to hundreds of votes. You can easily swing that. And don't focus on "highest value" work. Door-to-door canvassing is more important than any code you can write.

Purebasic compiles to assembly code in flat assembler format using yasm.[1] Some of its support libraries were even directly written in assembler. That accounts for speed and compact executables. Unfortunately, it also prevents retargeting and sophisticated compiler optimizations.

> I offer that perhaps the issue here is an ignorance of the history of humanity, at least with respect to computing?

Perhaps, but as no one has offered a counterexample, I have no way of knowing.

> Dijkstra did do what you claim is impossible several times in his career

No, he did not. The meaning of a technique not being scalable is that while it does work for small instances it does not for large ones.

We have learned so much since Dijkstra, and can apply even more powerful end-to-end verification/synthesis than he had at his disposal and for larger programs, but we still can't scale it, just as he couldn't, and, indeed, didn't.

> You have heard of decomposing a large program into smaller programs, right? That's how it is done and has been done.

No, it has not been done, but unlike 50 years ago, in the decades we've studied the "hardness" of program analysis/synthesis we have an idea as to why. There are now complexity theory results that show that decomposition cannot always work. In addition, we now know -- what we didn't 50 years ago -- that there are essential barriers to scaling. Things that are easy when small can be absolutely impossible when large.

> This is a foolish self-imposed constraint.

It's not a constraint as much as saying that the claim you have a technique that can more effectively yield programs that we already know how to get more-or-less right and the claim you have a technique that can effectively, feasibly and scalably produce programs that are otherwise very hard to get right are two very different claims. It's like the difference between improving a polynomial algorithm by a constant and finding a polynomial algorithm for NP-complete problems. The first might get you published; the second will make you world-famous.

> It's still irrelevant to my claim about it being easier for a programmer to derive programs that meet an arbitrary specification than to test that an arbitrary program text satisfies it.

The proof is relevant because it precisely proves that your claim, as stated, is, in fact, false. Your claim might be made about "common cases" etc., but that would require a much more careful wording, as well as a careful empirical study rather than insistence.
ML Community Standup – DiffSharp, TorchSharp and Tensor Programming in .NET
I know that this is not the answer you're expecting and you've explicitly stated that you don't want to do, but the best thing to do is to move. By staying there, you're contributing to whatever is bad there.

If the problems could be fixed by individuals, someone else with much better reach and opportunity would most likely already have done so. I'm sure the problems are much bigger than what individuals or even big groups can do to fix, mostly because of the size of the city.

By moving away, to a better one, you're draining away resources that it feeds on. At some point, the city has to fix its problems... and with most people gone, it's very much likely that the problem becomes much more manageable for individuals and small groups.
A very nice paper.

I'm quite happy to see more work on discrete generative models -- probabilistic programming languages are still wrestling (or simply ignoring!) the problem of "disintegration", where conditioning changes the base measure because it collapses the dimensionality of the probability manifold (similar to the issue Arjovsky identified with GANs). See e.g. http://homes.sice.indiana.edu/ccshan/rational/disint2arg.pdf and https://probprog.cc/assets/posters/thu/78.pdf. To me (although this is probably too radical a move to be palatable to most people) we should largely abandon continuous distributions and start building out discrete probability spaces and methods with the same vigor that continuous probability got in the form of measure theory. These probability trees some like a natural data structure to begin this. I'd also like to see representations for working with probabilities on discrete manifolds that approximate continuous space in computationally efficient ways -- there could be work in this direction already but I'm not aware of it.

Also, a fun implication of these probability trees I'd like to see explored is structural sharing: you need not copy an entire tree to represent the result of a conditioning or intervention. In general you need to copy only a number of nodes given by the size lying above the cut set, in a similar way to how immutable data structures like HAMTs can represent modified hash maps etc with persistent space efficiency by reusing unchanged nodes. If one expects to condition often with certain variables, it would then be useful to hoist such cut sets as high as possible -- does such a 'transpose' operation exist? I admit I did not read the paper thoroughly enough to know if this was mentioned.
I think the pandemic has helped in this regard. It seems to be pretty acceptable now to have a quiet kid sitting in your lap for a meeting, or taking a quick second to answer their question.

I hope this trend continues past the pandemic.

Mouse over the (?) icon. "Free plan is trial plan. The credits will not be replenished. Switch to Free Plan if you want to cancel your subscription."

So, yeah, there is something they call the "free plan". If gives you 10K "credits" that once they are gone they are gone (I'm not sure exactly what a "credit" corresponds to in terms of workers/minutes, but could probably find it somewhere).

Do you feel like this is what you expected it to be, that they are being transparent about the fate of open source projects that previously had free CI? You can say you do, it's your perspective!
Report to local government issues such as potholes, misleading traffic signs, bugs in traffic signs, illegally placed advertisements...

I mentioned my problems, with my manager, to very senior coworkers and they strongly recommended that I quit.
As a result of their advice, I mentally quit my job.
My old job was to make successful products for customers.
My new job is to overcome the limitations of my manager.

I've tried very obvious things. I have worked out a path to be successful despite the efforts of my manager to prevent it. I included my skip level manager in the conversation. I very carefully review my manager's actions and tell them constructively in our 1on1 when they are managing badly. I spend a lot of time reviewing my progress to make sure my path is the best. I built relationships with other coworkers without my manager involvement so they can support my efforts when performance reviews are due.

If I kept the notion that was doing my old job I would be unhappy; changing my point of view has helped a lot.

This is just bad all around. Not just for intel, but for the entire industry. I always prefer companies doing well because their products are successful, not because their competitors fall down.

More and more, Apple's timing on their switch to in-house ARM designs seems perfectly timed.
I appreciate the skepticism, but that's a very fixed mindset. People can absolutely change and I've seen it hundreds of times.

It certainly can take a "come to Jesus" moment like you find out your team hates you, you get fired, a wave of employees quit on you, etc, but people can absolutely change when they decide to.

Character is absolutely important, and it does predispose one to being a better manager, but you can become a good manager later in life.

Unfortunately, as we discuss in the article (I wrote it), the incentives aren't always there, nor are the positive examples of what to do.

The reason the Valley is different is because if you have 35% turnover at most companies, you're out of business.

In Silicon Valley, you can hide it behind more recruiters and funding. I've talked to multiple companies with first hand accounts of that level of turnover, which is rare in other industries because they'd go out of business losing that many people.

No play services on an Android phone in the US probably implies willingness to tinker. No play services on an Android phone in China only implies it's an Android phone. In the developing world, it most likely implies a very low cost Android phone of Chinese origin.

Bundling things that need timely updates with the OS with no mechanism to update them individually is a design error. Things like root certificates, time zone databases, leap second information, and even TLS libraries need to be updated on a regular basis. These items should be distributed outside of the general upgrade process, even if the general upgrade process worked (which is clearly not the case). Alternatively, root certs and TLS libraries could be bundled with applications as needed. You could probably have a stable core x.509 library and cipher algorithms bundled with the OS, so that the application level TLS library can be kept small. You still need to get tzdb updates out though.

In an ideal world, large OS vendors could work with carriers to get this small set of updates zero-rated in exchange for making sure they are very small and background downloaded only at times of low network congestion.
Very well said. The only thing I would add is that the Stoic conception of Zeus is far closer in style to animism than it is to monotheism - Zeus was characterized by the Stoics as a very non-human force, one and the same with Logos or universal Reason. So even in this regard the modern usage of the words "intelligent design" though technically accurate, misleads most due to modern association with creationists and their anthro-centric view.

It is worth noting that many concepts the ancient Greeks invented have no close - and in some cases not even an approximate - analog in modern English.
> if this were an actual option more people would do it.

How much more? US has over 31M small businesses. How many do you need to conclude it's an option? 99.9% of businesses in the US are small businesses (obviously, since you only need one person to make a small business and 100K persons to make a Walmart). If normal folks can't afford it, who are all those? I know several people having businesses, in what way they are not "normal"? Not all of them are rich (in fact, most of them aren't, most are making a good living, some better than others, but none I know are billionaires so far) but how this is not normal? I think your picture here is very skewed.
True. We have just learned what an advantage CI is to software quality and developer productivity, expectations for both of which have been raised because of pervasive use of CI.

Many people wound up discovering/learning that and raising expectations because Travis's extraordinarily easy-to-use and reliable, and free for open source service, got them to try it out and discover the benefits. People had been talking about how everyone should be doing CI before travis, but I think travis played a major role in significantly increasingly how many people were actually doing CI (and thus learning that they didn't want to do without it's benefits), changing the way software is developed. Which is to the credit of those who developed the original travis service, for sure.

I think it really created a market, by offering something with very low barriers that 'hooked' people. Now we're hooked.
The article mentions Bloomberg’s 2018 piece where they claimed to have evidence of an extra chip being inserted into a motherboard. From memory, Bloomberg’s actual evidence was shaky at best. Does anyone know if they ever actually showed the motherboard they claimed to have to anyone for verification?

Apple made an official statement that the claims were, well, bullshit and that no such chips have ever been found.

Amazon published a signed statement from its chief security officer saying that the Bloomberg article was “so full of inaccuracies ... that they’re hard to count” and that after their own security team and an external security team had gone into the claims in detail they found them to be untrue.

So, I have to ask, does anyone know if Bloomberg actually published the evidence they claimed they would release?
