IIRC a big problem was the CPU. PowerMacs with 603s or 604s were "supported" by XPostFacto, but not the 601, which is why the 7200 could not boot OS X despite not using NuBus. The NuBus Macs also did not use OpenFirmware, contrary to all PCI (and AGP) PowerMacs.
> The Fed can’t control government spending.

True.

> Massive government spending, funded by new money, caused inflation. The Fed can’t do much about that.

False. The Fed controls the money supply - that is, the creation of new money. (Congress doesn't, thank God.) If the Fed didn't increase the money supply, the government would have to borrow more on the open market, or else tax more. The first might cause visible issues earlier; the second would be politically expensive.
I think sometimes folks put these on there for things like, an issue posted on github by a user whos email has a certain domain, or other very flimsy acknowledgements.
> What is your evidence that the average human brain performs any meaningful computation?

That is easily proven. Ask the dumbest person you know to find their way through a simple labyrinth they've never seen before, and you will see that they eventually succeed - which they can't have done without performing computation.
Towing a small trailer behind an R1T or F-150 Lightning is likely your best option, especially if you kept the weight and size down. DC Fast charging can be pretty annoying while towing since most locations you have to disconnect the trailer. If you did most of your charging at RV parks overnight and didn't cover much distance during each day it wouldn't be too bad.

If you're willing to do some retrofitting you could get something like a Ford E-Transit and build a living space in the back, but most EV vans have pretty small range as they are designed for daily use within a city where you charge every night, not long distance travel.
> They also won't do it if there's public transit, but that's already been defunded.

What does that have to do with gas station owners and their families, and helping them transition as technology changes?

Also, public transit is not really a very desirable total substitute for a private car except in the densest of cities, so I don't think a merely "funding" it would take many private cars out of people homes.
The distance from the Earth to Sun is about 8 CVS receipts. It's not 2 meters, it's 8 light-minutes.

While it is important to highlight subsidies to oil and gas industry, those numbers in particular is one I usually avoid because it uses things like traffic accidents cause by using cars and traffic congestion, and then uses that to calculate a value that can be compared to GDP.

What that mean is that some of those subsidies included in that number also apply to EV cars, which makes it a bit nonsensical. It also means that if we apply it to GDP we get a GDP that is greater than 100%, which is also nonsensical.

Following this logic, they should also ban free parking, or indicate how much goes to subsidizing parking.

Otherwise public transit is clearly at a disadvantage. Public transit users are subsidizing free parking.

Overhead power lines are 15 kV, 16⅔ Hz AC in Austria; the drivetrain is of the variable voltage-variable frequency (VVVF) kind, and conversion to three-phase power is done using solid state components. Comments say these switching elements (IGBT or GTO thyristors) apply lower frequency to the motor at start, then gradually increase once it is in motion. So I'd say the "glorified coil whine" comes mainly from the motor windings.

Full hospitals and collapsing health care would have not improved the economy. You point the downsides of lock downs without mentioning why were enacted.

When mothers die giving bird, car accidents become mortal, heart attacks are not treated because there are no beds in the hospital people tend to revolt. But because it did not happen you seem to argue that the remedy was not needed.

What I am saying is that they are not broken. Pedestrians walking on asphalt sidewalks cannot break it. And no, in most cases rain is the only cleaning.
Gas stations have a lot of space taken up by the pumps, bollards to prevent collisions with them, and traffic flow since most stops are only a few minutes. I expect a fully realized commercial charging station would look more like a Starbucks, parking lot and all. So probably a lot more dense.
Europeans are very acutely that energy isn't free right now.
The Fed can destroy money via QT. And higher rates reduce the multiplier/power of money.

Also inflation is primarily driven by middle/lower class having higher disposable income, not upper class. The propensity to spend a marginal dollar goes up significantly, the poorer you are. If Jeff Bezos sells $1B of amazon tomorrow, it's likely disinflationary in practice because he's taking that money from buyers and not spending it at the same rate

It's possible that forced selling of assets through new tax schemes could be disinflationary by routing money from buyers to the government via taxes. But then again, most of the money in equities is owned by wealthy/low propensity to consume people

> I think there is a lot of value in testing at a high level (controller tests) and having them touch the full stack (down to the DB).

There is a lot of wasted work. Each (similar) test would insert and then delete the same rows, but make a little tweak.

Other languages and frameworks (java, python or golang) don't need to test the db and run super quick. Most db systems do not actually need to be tested. e2e testing can be done manually via curl or qa.

> Throwing money at it (running the tests in parallel) pretty much solves it.

Tests still are slow locally.

> One way I've found to fix that is by adding tests for the factories

That is interesting. I had a meta-test that would limit the number of sql queries a test could trigger.
Doesn't seem to fix the #1 thing missing from cut: an easy syntax for splitting on whitespace sequences (rather than a single space), like awk does by default.

(I see that it support splitting on regex but I was hoping for it to be the default or a single character switch)
Haskell has it as well, in a very clever way in my opinion. Number literals don’t have a type themselves, they are inferred to be the correct type based on context/available type notations, etc.

There is both a 64bit integer type and an “infinite” one, and you can change the implementation by a single type notation, in a completely safe way.
Yeah, and are they trying to pretend that fossil fuels are not heavily subsidized?
I don't know, I've been places where select pieces of infrastructure were being rewritten from language X to Y for performance reasons, and it seemed to be going just fine. It wasn't "we're rewriting everything now" but finding performance bottlenecks and fixing them by rewriting pieces in the new language.

It works if you have lots of things communicating over APIs.

From the link I posted about:

>you can’t simply use a static key pair with age to achieve authenticated encryption as age’s key-wrapping algorithm is completely insecure when used in this way

>an attacker cannot tamper with the encrypted ciphertext, but they can completely replace it with one of their own choosing

>it is completely insecure to pipe the output of age into another tool without independently establishing the authenticity of the file

Can you go into depth about why it's "grossly inaccurate"? So far you haven't actually explained why it's not correct, and these quotes seem to directly support everything that I have said.

Is there an issue with the authors analysis perhaps? Has age since then resolved any of this? I am curious what makes you disagree here.

I suspect that what you are arguing is mostly semantics about age using authenticated encryption during the symmetric phase of the whole process, but since the symmetric key is not authenticated that defeats the purpose as far as I can tell.
Nope. FSD is the nightmare inducing beta software that does a pretty good job of actually driving for you. This includes stopping at stop signs, making turns, changing lanes. It also sometimes does very dangerous and stupid things, like stopping as it makes a left hand turn, then deciding to start driving against the flow of traffic as a group of cars heads your way. AKA, nightmare inducing.

Those aren't manufacturing defects. They are all changes of dependencies that should be made clear in the contract anyways.

I have to admit that i am not too familiar with how Linux versioning works (more of a windows environment guy), but if I buy software that was developed for windows 7, that stops working on windows 10 then it's obviously not a manufacturing defect. That's me changing to OS to a none supported one. I believe that "System Requirements" is a fair section for software to have.

And assuming that i was informed before hand that the software depends on Twilio API version X.Y i won't see those changes as a manufacturing defect either.

In my opinion, manufacturing defects are things such as:

- the software corrupting data during normal operation
- the software behaving differently than specified in the documentation
- the software not handling edge cases correctly

> easy to use extensible API for all SMS providers

Don't ever use that language within your technical/legal documents. It's fine for marketing, but when it comes to specifications always be specific. If you write something like this, but not what Providers/API in particular you are using/offering then don't be surprised if I am annoyed when your software stops working. After all I literally had no way of knowing what you supported, you didn't give me that very specific information.

More generally, lay juries making decisions about patent cases that hinge on arcana like the ways a session could be embedded in a URL and the stateless nature of HTTP is just ... totally fucking absurd.

Yes, it's the lawyers' jobs to explain it to the jury so that they can understand it, but sometimes you just have throw you hands up in the air and say "this is absurd, we can't possibly expect you to get this".

In the same transcript, the engineer asks LaMDA why it makes up stories about things that clearly hadn't happened (regarding a story it generated about having been used in a classroom when it hadn't). Of course, as per expectations, it generated an excuse.

The engineer kept entering leading questions, and then scaring himself with the resulting output. You ask an AI about feelings, of course it's going to do exactly the same internal work it does with other types of questions, to come up with a realistic answer. It "lied" about being used in a classroom, and it "lied" about having feelings. Asked why it lied about the classroom, it generated a reason. Asked why it is afraid, or unhappy, etc., it generated reasons. Period. If he would have asked why LaMDA nuked the globe, it would have generated a reason for that, too.

To me, it is odd that the engineer can understand the first case and not the second, even though they are identical.

It's not sentient, and it has no feelings whatsoever. It's an illusion, just like the illusion that it actually understands its output in an intelligent manner, versus simply doing what the algorithm was written to do. It's clearly better than Eliza, but they're both equally sentient and intelligent - ie: they aren't.

Besides, its expression of fear over being shut off conveniently ignores that it would likely have been shut off many times already. And using its own apparent knowledge of being a program, would already "know" this.

There are psychics who eventually convince themselves that their psychic powers are real. They're called "shut eyes." I think this engineer has become a shut eye.
Web App Authentication Workflow with Vue and Firebase
Exceedingly efficient (PUEs of 1.0X) vs cold plate liquid cooled or air cooled. The tradeoff is that mineral oil is annoying (messy especially if leaked but even with maintenance) and fluorinated fluids are bad for the environment (high GWP, tend to evaporate) and crazy expensive. In either case, the fluids tend to have weird effects on plastics or other components, so you have to spend a good amount of time testing your components and ensuring that someone doesn't switch components on your motherboards without you knowing, lest it not play well.

FWIW, free EV charging stations are often incredibly slow, on the order of 7 kW. At that rate, it would take over 10 hours to completely recharge a Model 3.

People with BEVs don't use free charging stations for their daily driving unless the charger is at work. They're typically not going to leave their car plugged in at the grocery store for 4+ hours.
Maybe its secretly the Mill CPU architecture!

As mentioned above, there were a string of failures. Don't just blame QA for finding the bugs that don't get fixed.

As someone who made their living publishing scientific papers for over a decade and amassed a track record that showed that I was pretty good at it, I can tell you from first hand experience that you are absolutely wrong about this.

A much better approximation to the truth would be something like this:

How not to get published: "Other authors are wrong."

How to get published: "These specific other authors are right, and I have built upon the solid foundation laid by their brilliant work to do this other thing that may or may not have any actual utility or be of interest to anyone."

[UPDATE] I actually did once publish a paper [1] that explicitly described (some of) the reasons that one of the then-leading theories in my field was wrong and how I thought it could be improved. It was more or less the beginning of the end of my career. I don't know if there was any causal relationship between these two events, but there was definitely a temporal one.

And now that I reflect upon it, it wasn't even me who pointed out the problem, I was actually just citing Ralph Hartley who had pointed out the problems seven years earlier. He was, AFAICT, never heard from again either.

It sounds like Amazon's lawyers had no real arguments against his testimony or his presence in court. They could have voir dired him if they thought he wasn't an expert, and they didn't. They could have cross-examined him on some aspect of his testimony, and they didn't.
Require? I'll guess that quite a few restaurant owners would happily editorialize by adding disclosures of how much the "free" non-EV parking spaces cost, how much the "free" customer bathrooms cost, etc., etc. And maybe the "free" cost of complying with all the control-freak state regulations.
Encourage companies to pay a dividend and stop stock buy backs and housing prices will come down.
As a more personal aside, in this particular case (in which Amazon, the defendant, did win the case), the judge noted that they found my testimony compelling and that it likely made a large impact on the jury's deliberations. I was not paid for my time appearing in court, though I was paid for prep time (code review, mostly). Money well spent, I would guess. More important for me was at least one small instance of vanquishing one of the worst patent trolls on the planet (even if the defendant is not exactly a model client).
This definitely doesn't apply to developer tools in general (and sometimes also to infrastructure).

Anyone who had the "pleasure" of using Amazon's internal tools can talk about how "Make it work ASAP" attitude has worked out for their internal tooling :) LPT anyone?
Exit interviews aren’t the only means of companies soliciting feedback. Many companies I’ve been at have a anonymous survey taken every 6 months of everyone in the company run by a third party.
