Test cricket is real in the sense that it is the original game and what we have been calling as cricket until the relatively recent introduction of ODIs and T20s. The shorter formats eliminate the aspects of playing with changing conditions (ball, pitch and weather) which deeply characterized the original game.
I currently use a Steinberg CI1, but used in the past some other interfaces always with good results (M-Audio Delta 44, ESI UGM96, Tascam US-122, a couple Edirols, etc). Linux audio hardware support has become really good lately: I'm also about to purchase a mixing console with integrated multitrack USB audio card and so far all brands and models I considered work with Linux (Soundcraft, Tascam, Zoom, Presonus, etc).
And most importantly why it’s relevant today.

I’m not suggesting that it isn’t, I just don’t know and would like to find out.
For sure, satic classes and functions are what I would use if the language has them.

"Un U renversé"
The economy gathers outside energy as the production of value, which is what the vast majority of companies do, and some of it disappears out the other end as consumption of goods with value.

It's perfectly true that the system is perfectly capable of running alone without any external stimulus applies. The economy will keep being the economy no matter how much you tamper with it. The main problem people have with that is not that the economy won't "work", it's that the economy working necessarily means things like heavy business cycles, cyclical unemployment, a general tendency of wealth to move upwards, and a relatively fast accumulation to the level where those who have accumulated wealth begin to have serious power over politics and will impose meddling with the economy for their benefit.

It will work fine, it working just isn't what humans generally want to happen.

If you read Micro Magic's press release it was clear (at least to me) that it was just a lab demonstration of their design tools and process technology and absolutely nothing like a product and not intended to be. If some of the press said something different that's not really Micro Magic's fault.

I'm not sure what you mean by "vague promises". As far as I can see (and I've been following them for years), the major players such as Andes, SiFive, Western Digital, Alibaba (T-Head) carry through with what they promise. Sometimes they don't meet the schedule they initially announce, but that happens with everything.

I sure wouldn't count Horse Creek as a "vague promise". Future chips from StarFive -- sure.

Companies normally announce a CPU core when it's ready for licensing by chip designers. That means the RTL design is complete and is running at 10's of KHz in software simulation (e.g. Verilator) and 10's of MHz in a FPGA (or faster in the ultra-expensive stuff the EDA houses sell). Linux is booting, Dhrystone and Coremark and SPEC have been run. The design works and the performance per MHz is known with basically 100% accuracy. The only remaining question is what MHz a customer will get on some silicon process and with how much effort at physical layout.

Well, and the question of whether they get any customers, and whether such customers make a product they announce, or something we never hear about because it is used internally in another product.

Why so much trouble to "disable" WiFi instead of simply not using it?
After this gained prominence I took a hard read of Koopman's Stack Computers: The New Wave intent on writing an interpreter. I sought some optimization properties that would apply to the modern requirements for ILP, OoE and parallelization at low core frequencies -- none are offered. This manifests in WASM, and the criticism was elaborated very well: http://troubles.md/posts/wasm-is-not-a-stack-machine/

> This essentially makes WebAssembly a register machine without liveness analysis, but not only that, it’s a register machine that isn’t even in SSA form - both of the tools at our disposal to do optimisation are unavailable. In a true, optimising compiler we can recreate that information, but WebAssembly was already emitted by a compiler that generated that information once.
Or don't enter your wifi credentials to start with?
Changing router means you have to re-block. Plus nothing better (more reassuring) than an actual air-gap from the internet.
Below the main post:

"since this got boosted if anyone happens to know about service manuals for appliances, lmk. i’m textin a buddy about this and now we just wanna kill it instead my backup plan (forever dhcp lease + block IP from pf.conf). even the manuals i can find online from samsung don’t mention the smart features, it seems to be more of a “don’t burn down your house idiot” thing "

It seems their plan was to block it at a network level if they couldn't do this.

A brief history of blue noise Poisson distribution generators
My stories were about first class. The 2 problems are that SNCF has subsidies so that single mothers with 3 babies from different fathers can use the first class; and that agressive people can use it also, without a fare, and controllers only ask for their name (they obviously say “Jean Dupondt” instead “Mouloud Al’Fahir”, and the controller still doesn’t moves much).

France thinks everyone deserves to use the first class from time to time.
Couldn't you just never connect it to your router? Why bother disabling it? Security risk?
1) what was the issue with not connecting it to WiFi in the first place?

2) surely the fact that it has WiFi was known at purchase time? Despite what the internet would lead you to believe, there is still a lot of fridges without WiFi and "smart" features out there, why not buy one of those rather than mess with this?

Edit: point 2 was addressed in the article, sorry I missed it
This is basically why I paid 100 EUR to have the 23 years old cheap Whirlpool stove that came with our apartment fixed. It has 4 plates and 4 turning knobs, and when I turn one of them, the corresponding plate gets hot.

Simplicity lasts longer.
Because of security. You do not know how exploitable the setup is. There were instances when these appliances connected to open Wifis and called home. Imagine same but attacker doing a drive by with open Wifi.
Fascinating! Mind sharing the paper?
There are rumors it will try to connect to an open network when in range.

Let's put things in perspective: the parser bit of putting together your own lisp is by far the easiest task of all.

Complaining that parsing lisp is hard to a beginner but everything else is accessible makes no sense at all. I mean, a parser for s-expressions requires what? Five or six terminal tokens and three or four non-terminal tokens? That's less than 50loc.

On Windows at least (can't test MacOS at the moment), the default `lang` of web page when there is no attribute is actually the display language of my browser (in both my and OP's case, English), not my OS's (Japanese).

Might work on this model but more and more appliances refuse to work at all until they’re connected to WiFi. Additionally, “Amazon Sidewalk” allows appliances to connect to your neighbors Wi-Fi automatically if your own isn’t working for it.
> what was the issue with not connecting it to WiFi in the first place?

Like many other 'smart' appliances, it creates it's own AP so allow you to set it up. So anyone within range could attach it to their network, and then do whatever they like with it.

> surely the fact that it has WiFi was known at purchase time?

It came with the place they're living in. Someone else made that decision.
Just wait until they sign a deal with xfinity. Then what?

better off disabling it.
> 2) … there is still a lot of fridges without WiFi and "smart" features out there, …

for now. That’s not true anymore for example for TVs.
fun fact, the sum across x_n of x_{n+1}=1/2*x_n, with x_0=1 is the fixed value 2. Don't blame math for your inability to understand that trade creates value.
Idk about this case,

but products can be notorious in the ways they try to make you setup the wifi.

Worse sometimes if you don't setup WiFi they will connect to unprotected networks if the find some and try to use them instead, opening them up to even more attack surface (or networks of wide spread hotspot providers in your country).

I.e. you get annoyed and can't be sure if it doesn't connect to "something" if you don't go that far.
Could you share more details about it? Is your code open source?
> It has 4 plates and 4 turning knobs, and when I turn one of them, the corresponding plate gets hot.

The smartest stove of them all - does one thing and does it well.
If it will try to connect to any open wifi, I can definitely see why'd you want to disable the wifi at a hardware level, since at that either you let it connect to the internet in its own, insecure way, or use your secured wifi network - in both cases it'll phone home.
One of the best and simplest ways to prove you're a competent programmer would be to just live stream yourself coding on twitch or YouTube. Both sites let you record and edit previous streams down to highlights you can organize into categories (e.g. database work vs frontend work).

Live streaming is also great practice for interviews as well, because you shout be narrating your train of thought and explaining pros and cons of your solution as you work on it, for both.

I did exactly this before acquiring my current job, and my boss thanked me for sharing the content and said that was the best possible interview process he could conceive of.

An inflation narrative gives cover for price hikes driven by greed.
According to Samsung's site, assuming this is the same model of fridge (Family Hub Refrigerator?), it is technically possible to skip the WiFi setup, but some people are pointing out there are rumors that it will try to connect to open wifi to still phone home to samsung.
Were I making the purchasing decision, wifi wouldn't factor in. If the fridge that turns out to be the best option happened to have wifi, then I'd trust myself to work out how to jail it, whether hardware "off"-ing it as per this guy, or blackholing it's connection, or just not connecting it at all (with the knowledge that some devices are rumoured to connect to any accessible open wifi).

Lots of negativity here about the fact that German trains aren’t as great as you would hope. On one hand I understand - I live in Switzerland and the German trains are not as reliable as the Swiss ones. However, I’m an American and as such I am very impressed that Germany is pushing this. This is great news for anyone who cares about climate change or stopping Putin, because it indicates political will to get more people using public transit.

I'd rather flip this solution on its head: why are our markets for consumer goods /so broken/ that there's no headroom for a startup making quality, 'not-smart' appliances to break in? Consumer home appliances feel like they ought to be a textbook case of innovator's dilemma, with incumbents moving up and to the right in complexity and opening up space at the bottom for new manufacturers.

And yet...

The smart features of a TV subsidize its price. A "non smart" device manufacturer has to sell at a dramatically non competitive price because they aren't selling user data or flooding advertising into the content shown. Sitting on a shelf, who would buy a TV with less features for double or three times the price?
As an European, I watched, and enjoyed, 3 baseball movies and one 52 episode anime about baseball, and I still don't understand the rules. When you watch the football (soccer), after 5 minutes the game is obvious, put ball into the goal. But baseball? The only thing I was able to deduct is that pitcher is similar to a goalkeeper, he cannot score but if he screw up they can loose a point.
We would really have to be talking about a specific language to discuss properly I think, but there is no need for internal state. There is more advantages as well, depending on language, in that one is extensible and one isn't. Some probably see that as a con, but I have done enough work backed into tight corners to know it is better to have it than to hack around something non-extensible.
I hope the demo scene will pick up this machine — for all the right reasons.

It is also quite possible that these come with cellular connectivity in the future as well…
Probably solely costs. A handful of companies own all the appliance brands, able to create components for pennies and they sure aren't sharing them with you and I.

Appliance companies seem to be barely making margins anymore, so it's not like they're robbing you blind, more that a startup would need to create a simple device that is also twice the price of everyone else.
> It came with the place they're living in. Someone else made that decision.

It is irrelevant anyway. Buying something with the intent of modding it is not that unreasonable.
> The evershifting and arbitrary nature of these standards is a guarantee that you will eventually fall afoul of it, face a kangaroo court trial in the DEI star chamber, and be burnt at the stake for your "crimes".

there's a theory (from slate star codex originally, i think), that these things are evershifting on purpose, as they serve as a class/education marker. you've got to be smart enough and sufficiently in-touch with the right kinds of people to figure out how the standards are/will change.
Controversially I would like to have fridge and stove that could send me telemetry over Wi-Fi. I currently have RuuviTag in my fridge to monitor temperature and moisture, but I can't put one in my oven for obvious reasons (and it couldn't monitor stove anyway).

Obviously neither should have any actual controls over Wi-Fi, but getting a notification about open fridge door, being able to check if stove or oven is on while away from home, or getting report when something (is about to) breaks would be neat.

There's a hot tub brand who include LTE radios in their hot tubs to ensure that they always have an analytics channel irrespective of what the user configures. Why on earth? It means they can target advertising for consumables and services. Same goes for fridges which need replacement filters, fresheners, whatever, you've just got to dupe the user into giving you internet connectivity, or accept the cost of putting a cellphone radio in your product.

I was impressed by ARKK performance until I heard her podcast where she lays out her reasoning. Her idea was that some tech will change world so much that there will be 100X return. This makes her buy into all kind of fishy things which we in tech know as usual startup BS that fails 90% of the times. The problem is that her bets are $125M instead of $125K. As someone working in tech, I thought she was just following buzzwords and hopping at least part of her portfolio would do 100X over 10 years. She is not a tech person. She isn’t a visionary. She has no magic crystal ball. Her fund is directional day trader and nothing more which means it will invest in all kind of bogus companies and likely lose or get lucky.

Sadly with a fridge or a washing machine the efficiency is quite different. Buying a 20+ old washing machine will cost you a lot in electricity and wasted water.
Yeah it’s odd how many of the home automation stuff are thought and created for the temperate zones of the globe.

Well it’s hard to give enough context but none of those would work for me. We sometimes take our board games in the living room, other times on the balcony, sometimes even in the bedroom if the guests have a little child and they need to keep an eye on it. I would have to create a scene for all those things and end up with the same problem: too many button to choose from, doing what I want takes too much effort.

Calling Alexa in English as a Romanian is a sure way to get you some laughs and weird looks from those around you; not everyone is accustomed to voice controlled tech and some even feel uncomfortable around it.

I have a lot of those Zigbee switches, but Conbee has failed on me sometimes and I don’t want to see that type of frustration from my wife again. You know the type: “why can’t you just turn on the lights like a normal person?!”

When you have something in mind to do and the simple stuff stop working, the situation is very frustrating. I imagine it’s like when I want to add some features to my app, and Xcode decides to throw some impossible error that has no concrete solution and I have to do the “clear data voodoo” and restart until it starts working.

It’s another possible vector to infiltrate other devices on the network. Like smart bulbs, smart switches, security cameras, smart scales, and what have you. It is not difficult to imagine a scenario in which the fridge is the weakest link.

There's an endless stream of monad tutorials and I think they (almost) all misunderstand the point of confusion. No one gives a f*** about monads, they care about state.

If you've internalized reasoning about a program's execution symbolically and in a time-independent way, then monads solve the problem of how you enforce a correct sequencing of otherwise time-independent operations at a library level without any fancy modifications to the type system. And oh by the way, this structure shows up everywhere and isn't that pretty cool. People who hang around in the formal PL world tend to assume this already because it emerges naturally from how we talk about the semantics of languages via symbolic manipulation.

But if you haven't grasped that yet, then monads solve a problem that you probably don't even realize exists and no amount of rephrasing the monad laws will help you.

I'd almost always recommend anyone new to Haskell ignore monads as much as possible. Fiddle around with evaluating toy functions with pen and paper symbolically to reason about the semantics, and then try to imagine how you could represent the state of a program changing across the page by creating a new object representing the state of the program from the old state. Then, dig in to the RealWorld type and how the IO Monad actually works (not at a type level).
Given how much water is needed to extract metals from the ground to create new appliances, the total amount of wasted water is subject to debate. It may be better overall to just keep using the old thing till it breaks.

Would you pay extra for not-smart appliances? Because I sure would -- and have, at every opportunity I get. It's frustrating that there's not a market for uncomplicated, well-built, totally-lacking-in-smart-features appliances. If I have to replace e.g. a dead microwave, I would pay considerably /more/ for one that won't call home or auto-install firmware updates or tweet at my wife when I re-heat a mug of tea.

You'd hope that there's be enough of a delta in that "pay more", and enough folks who would do so, to make a market. Shame it seems like there isn't.
