> There is no general idea of conservatism though.

That’s just untrue and shows a misunderstanding of what conservatism is, which is about small gov and a return to the roots of said gov. While individual beliefs of how this should be achieved will very between the different nations, the general concept is the same.
3/4 bathrooms are quite common in some places, but listings may be not obvious because if you have 2 of those you will see 1.5 bathrooms and believe there is 1 + 1/2, not 2 x 3/4. My place has such an arrangement, I don't like bathtubs and I find it perfect for me.
I've hated Intel for a nearly a decade leading up to the Pandemic (My last intel system was an i7-3960x). Since the beginning of this chip shortage supply chain nightmare however, I've become very bullish on Intel. They are one of the rare US companies that have retained the knowledge to build and operate their own competitive fabs.

That is something that AMD, Nvidia and several others have left in favor of consolidation (TMSC, Samsung) and specialization - much to their benefit commercially (and at the expense of Intel).

As there are renewed reality checks on the pitfalls of having a critical fundamental supply chain epicenter outside of your realm of influence (Talking from the perspective of the US/EU here), I expect companies that can build and operate fabs on US and European soil will have renewed support from federal, state and capital markets. My hope is that it is not a passing fad and that it will carry on in perpetuity. I hope that it is competitive from a cost and performance perspective.

Also, in spite of that, Intel has also decided they will use TSMC's next gen process (3nm) as a backfill while they catch up and build out their own fab roadmap. That decision is exactly the watershed moment where AMD started taking off, in terms of performance and efficiency on their own CPU and GPUs (the spinning out of Global Foundry and shift to TSMC's manufacturing), where they started taking leads in markets that they hadn't seen for 15 years. It was the right decision at the time, and it remains so - from a purely financial/technological perspective.

The fact Intel's CPUs (raptor lake) and upcoming GPUs (Arc), made on a 3-year old lithography process, can compete with AMD's latest on TSMC's cutting edge is pretty respectable. When/If Intel finally gets access to a process that leapfrogs them ahead nearly 4 years... that kind of generational jump will hopefully be quite remarkable.

So, as much as I hated Intel, they seem to be the best bet for truly competitive fabs outside of the 750km radius circle they all currently reside in beside the East China Sea.

Edit: Yes I'm aware that TSMC has been talking about building fabs in the US/EU for a while now but really, it's been all talk for the last 3 years and feels like a pony show vs a genuine desire to build out the region and be competitive. The matter of where a company's chain of command and head office sits is nontrivial from a de-risking perspective.
The AWK book written by the A W K from the program name has always been considered the bible.

Symbols in math come cheap. Many different books and papers use different symbology for the same idea. Is why a lot of math books have a list at the outset for agreement on what symbol would stand for what idea.

On the other hand, you cannot use non-standard symbols to represent a sound in English. For example, nobody reading an English text will pronounce the letter "k" as "d" whereas mathematicians might do something like that, but they'll let you know in the opening pages of their book.
The way I see it, this problem is unsolvable. The issue is that the human species simply isn't equipped to deal with the modern information age.

Biologically, we're still hunter gatherers, cognitively optimized to deal with tiny scale societies and its limited information diet.

Even in our area of culture (since only 10K years ago, start of agriculture) we dealt with almost no information at all. What we consume in information in a single day now is the information load of an entire year just centuries ago.

Even in my lifetime, early 80s, information was limited, and slow. When I grew up, we had 3 national TV channels, a few magazines, and a library of dated books.

The current age is not "business as usual", it's brand new. Information is unlimited. Information moves at breakneck speed. Information has broken free from institutions, all citizens are producing it. Information has no accountability, anybody can say anything.

We're not equipped for this. We don't "scale" in this way. That's why I don't see a true solution. But that doesn't excuse us from trying...

Academics should produce more idiot-proof takes that are proportional, connect with the real world and include counter points, rather than producing a simplistic paper for the sake of producing a paper to meet some perverted internal metric. The emphasis should be truth and the purpose of it, outcomes, not checklists.

Traditional media should stop turning themselves into a Twitter account or juicy Tumblr blog. Stop thinking in narratives and us versus them type of reporting as is so typical of US media.

Social networks should ban paid advertising for anything that has a societal impact. Further, social networks should stop rewarding the most extreme, dumb, controversial opinions to the mainstream as this normalizes outrage, division and minsinformation. The reasonables should win, not the crazy ones.

This last part is perhaps key. There will always be misinformation but the way it spreads is the real issue.

Say a controversial character has 100K followers. The character posts something new and it's now anyone's guess how many of their followers see it. My guess is that it's fairly low, perhaps 10K. If it would end here, it's fair game.

But that's now how this works. At all. There's a retweet button. This single button brings it under the eyes of countless additional audiences, and it spreads like wildfire. Because the take was controversial. As part of this effect, the character gets even more followers, and so on.

At the end of the day, you basically take a village idiot that would normally be completely isolated in their opinion, and hand them the microphone to address an audience of millions.

In fact, the only reason this person had 100K followers to begin with was because of this effect: richly rewarding controversy, bad takes, etc.
I know this is probably a joke but my washing machine and all the dishwasher I know have this feature and don't need wifi.
> All those things mandated for cars are related to safety.

I believe that the current EU mandate for cars is that they must have cellular connectivity, which is of course for calling emergency services in a crash.

I think "ostensibly for safety" is a better description of some of it.
> Also there is a certain lack of training in clear thinking with words and ideas that are not emphasized in STEM curriculum but are emphasized in the humanities. I took a fair amount of history and literature in college....

Or the most potent disciplines: epistemology and logic. I believe epistemology and logic when combined with decomposition (something programmers usually have excellent capabilities in) make it fairly easy to determine where the weakest links in any given argument lie. A big problem though (in addition to the fact that we don't teach this sort of thinking): the human mind seems to have evolved to have an extremely strong aversion to exercising these skills on certain topics (something barely taught at all in western curriculum of any kind, the closest being psychology, which doesn't get a lot of respect from most people).

Academic Journal Claims It Fingerprints PDFs for ‘Ransomware,’ Not Surveillance
Note: since Alex is a fairly gender neutral name I'm going to use they/them pronouns.

I went through and read it, and the submitter is incredibly confrontational and not at all open to feedback on the correctness of their benchmark. Also, when presented with contradictory evidence (their own benchmark where the results show io_uring is faster than epoll on other machines), they essentially dismiss it and says the other users ran their benchmark wrong, or that they can't reproduce their results on their machine, or that the other users used Boost and therefore are invalid. So not an entirely reliable criticism coming from them, in my opinion.
Not sure how the environment would be affected by electric car use. Because all driverless cars are electric so far. They strangely talk around this in the article, without mentioning this fundamental issue.

I think the whole article is clickbait.
I wish my dishwasher could automaticly start whenver the price of electricity was low. I can manualle delay it by doing simple math in my head and forecasting prices, but it would be easier and more foolproof if I could script it with IFTTT.
> But the BBC is a de facto government agency — an agency for which all Britons who own televisions are forced by statute to pay — and, as a result, the material that it is modifying is effectively publicly owned.

This is a massive simplification which somewhat undermines the overall article. The government does not automatically own or have the copyright of the material broadcast by the BBC, definitely not in the strict IP sense. The BBC is a 'public corporation': neither a private corporation nor a government department. Furthermore, it generates revenue independently of the license fee, e.g. from sale of content overseas (and advertising on its .com site, as opposed to the .co.uk site we see in the UK).

I'm not saying that the BBC is right or wrong to modify it's historic content, just that the argument that the content is publicly owned is flawed.
It is interesting seeing the different way blame for Covid deaths is handled in the media between the Trump and Biden presidencies.

That seems needlessly unfair towards white. Isn't the pie rule (one player plays a move, the other chooses which colour they play) strictly better?
Somebody on Twitter mentioned that there is likely a lot of asbestos, and other environmental issues that the buyer would be responsible for remediating. I don’t know enough to know if that’s correct or not but it seems reasonable.
Well, yes and no. I don't see how CAT can differentiate between a packet header and packet data, but being able to control the number of ways dedicated to DDIO would be nice.

In terms of features like CAT being available on different SKUs.. Intel needs to remember that they're not just competing with themselves these days. Their competitors generally don't go fusing off features on low-end SKUs to drive sales of higher margin SKUs. Intel needs to differentiate chips solely on on cores count, clock speed, cache size, etc.
Yes and no-- some teams migrated off to either Docker CLI or Podman, and other teams ponied up the cash.
Sitting atop your medium.com blog account high horse dispensing criticism as to what other things are the worst. Perhaps getting off the worst blog platform ever would give your argumentations more credence.
Patching won't help, if you are diplomat, that has to use communication towers in a country, that is spying on you. Also, phone OS all allow incoming of sms, that are not visible - because that is how they are built. Those messages are there for technical reasons and that is also making them easy to exploit.

Also, Israeli government simply can't forbid their companies to do, what US companies are not forbidden to do, because that option is only available to totalitarian states.

Patching is not an issue here, but your ability to take your own(and if you are a really lucky - then others) government by balls and squeeze hard, if they do this stuff. If you do not have ability to get government by balls, then government is squeezing your balls already.
>What about the mistake of dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima or Nagasaki? That in itself is a specifically horrific mistake.

Thanks for the reminder, we can also thank scientists for nuclear weapons.
I guess it depends on what you define as "scepticism".

I know a lot of people who took the first or second vaccine but are refusing further due to the coercion involved.

Or more generally, they behaved "carefully" in the early days of the pandemic but then switched off over time as they tired of being given legal commandments from God rather than sensible advice.

I agree that the same set of people think crackpot stuff like "5g causes corona" or the vaccines have microchips, I don't think those people are really relevant to the discussion.

I think Publii[0] is the modern equivalent as it also runs on desktop and provides a blog-ish CMS with its own editor. I used it to make a small devlog[1] some time ago (on which i only wrote a single article, proving once and for all that the reason i do not blog more isn't because of the blog tech but because i'm too lazy to and i'd rather be writing endless posts in messageboards :-P). I do prefer the CityDesk style though[2], even if Publii is technically more powerful.

Is there a good reason for these regulations in the U.S.? I've seen illegally modified brake light flashing under heavy braking and appreciated it. It catches my attention extremely well (which is the point).

Maybe the concern is that in heavy traffic a sea of flashing lights will overwhelm / distract people too much? Or cause seizures? I'm really not sure.
My clothes washer will alert me when it is done.

Nobody wants to update the firmware of their dishwasher! (or anything, really)

I'm sure one can think of "benefits" to this, but as this incident shows, the annoyance far, far outweighs any possible benefit.

This is really getting out of hand. "Right to repair" should include "right to dumb down".
- F9 to enter setup

- 4 to switch to Local mode

Also, the "VT100 connected to an IBM PC AT" link above is pretty remarkable, to me - I always used PC-DOS via the default framebuffer, so I didn't know this was possible!

Given the water intrusion it is a full rebuild and a lot of renovation ... but on the plus side if you wanted a bunker $380k for 11 acres plus all the concrete and digging already done might be a good deal. I would get it inspected for cracks. Cracks will have to be fixed correctly or mold will be a serious health problem. It looks to be in better shape than some remote military sites I worked at given the age. Assume 100% of heating and electrical needs to be replaced. Flush every toilet and have the septic inspected. I wont disgust anyone out with those stories.

Most importantly it would also need to be inspected for chemical contamination both in the facility and in the soil. Many of the sites I worked at had to be entirely destroyed and all the soil chemically treated costing millions in treatment alone with drilling and pump trucks. Ask to see the paperwork from the military from when this property was transitioned.

There are a lot of rough edges in io_uring, foremost among them is it has been written, in classic Linux style, without regard to the security implications, so despite its youth it already collected four local privilege escalation CVEs. I recommend approaching it skeptically, write your own test and make sure it's actually faster in your use case.

Man Makes Power Bank Able to Charge 5000 Smartphones
so much this. the discussion around NSO (specifically in Israel this past week) has become so exhausting

NSO marketing enjoy the fact they are shown as some super powered company who has been able and always will be able to get full control of every phone on earth. One dramatic news investigation showed exclusive video of NSO branded server racks[1] in an African country. Who cares about the servers? All pegasus needs is an internet connection, you could probably run it from a Chromebook

As the NSO 0-day bank has changed over the years, so have their capabilities. The NSO of 3 years ago is not the same as today and is not the same as the 2023 version. These 0-days might be known at 100 other companies with less aggressive marketing arms

You mention JIT, and lead times greater than a year. Are these 2 things not at odds with each other?

A platform for naming your NFTs
NFTR (Nifter) is the first Registry on Ethereum to register a unique name for your NFTs. If you own a bluechip NFT that has been added to the list of curated projects (e.g. CryptoPunks), you can claim an airdrop of dRNM and spend the tokens to name your curated NFT. As soon as you do, you start farming RNM. RNM is the utility token of the platform and can be sold or accumulated to be able to name another NFT or rename the one you have already named.

In addition, Golden Tickets allow naming your NFT with a name from the top 1,000 name list. Golden Tickets are minted off a bonding curve, and can be burned back into the curve to obtain exit liquidity.

Enjoy!

I don't think that analogy holds though. In the case of a found credit card, there is an aggrieved party is defrauded. As far as anyone can tell, there is no actual person who is Satoshi. If there were, he would be one of the ten richest people in the world, and yet not a single bitcoin has been moved to indicate he exists. So there is no aggrieved party and thus nobody defrauded.

The biggest issue would be the massive sell off that would happen if those coins were moved and sold. It would shake crypto to the foundation.

You still have to specifically choose a Wifi one. (Though again, I can see if availability issues might throw a wrench into that if you needed one right away.)
> how in the world did they blow their dev stack so badly?

Did they?

With TypeScript, Visual Studio Code, npm and GitHub alone they control by far the biggest share of development stack out there in 2022.

I would add on top of this some other libraries that I consider huge sleepers but I think will even further spread and conquer market such as pnpm, playwright and rush.js.

There's also C#, Visual Studio, DirectX and many other Microsoft technologies devs use every day.

Step by step they will keep integrating many new generation developers into their ecosystem which, if they keep improving on their azure, office and teams integration will considerably drive up their revenue.

As long as Microsoft keeps working hard in this direction and doesn't start alienating the customers I can see them cutting more and more shares of the dev and release markets.
