It's not rigorously provable, but to a large extent a "backdoored FPGA" is complete nonsense and not even worth considering.

The manufacturer/adversary knows nothing about your core design or where you'll place logic. Synthesis tools literally randomize routing and placement on each run as a natural consequence of routing being strongly NP. Further, once you add in the fact that FPGAs are often fairly high volume goods since the same chip is sold to thousands of different companies, it makes even less sense since now you have to have a backdoor that activates only on specific random designs but not any other design in regular industry use since an activation would lead to incorrect circuit behavior there. You'd also need this behavior to not show up under automated verification (you're running a verification suite against your chips, right??) which is nearing on science fiction. While, I guess you could do something like this, it'd be wildly impractical in every sense of the word.
The School of Life is really interesting, and I've read some of Alain De Botton's previous work. I still have to wrap my mind about whether I should really dive deep into his stuff, or not.

Any of you knows his work extensively, and can provide an opinion?
Agreed. I don't care if I pay double for energy, food and heating, but this will be devastating for the average wealth of western nation citizens overall and many jobs won't be sustainable anymore. This will also reach tech at some point if the last consumers set priorities elsewhere.

The US is particularly oil hungry but there should be no illusion that humanity or any nation will use less energy today than it used yesterday. The only salvation would be alternative forms of energy, not elevating energy to a luxury good. If that happens wealth in developed countries will quickly melt.

Poor, hungry or cold people don't care about the environment. We already saw heavy deterioration of ecological goals due to prices and certain conflicts.
It’s really hard to compare optimizers. Common architectures and default hyperparameters were discovered alongside Adam so you’d have to redo a bunch of sweeps if you wanted a “fair” comparison. In practice this doesn’t really matter and everyone just uses Adam. If you had infinite compute, you’d try every combo and select the one with the best results.
I can't wait for people to turn this on and file bug reports and followed by "but I didn't enable that!"
By German standards that's still poor insulation. In winter in Leipzig the district heating pipes have snow sitting on them.
I'm not sure if the leak is really proportional to the surface area. (It's probably even less due to how the heat equation works).

The equation for the thermal resistance of a cylindrical system is explained in https://youtu.be/6x-jdCGWuHI?t=801

The thermal resistance is the sum of 3 (or more) terms, and while the outer terms are indeed proportional to surface area, I'm not sure if the physical constants of the system aren't designed so that the middle heat conductive terms of resistance R=ln(r2/r1)/(2pikL) is the dominant factor.
There’s (luckily) no such thing as DRM in DICOM, but there is a billion ways to interpret the standard. Pydicom does work for the more common things but there’s some rare types of DICOM it unfortunately can’t handle.
That’s just the definition of the concept. The true nature is what cause the theory to fail so that we need additional parameters.
I had four different opinions in the last two years:

- It gets inflamed because other teeth keep pushing on the gums. You need to get them pulled

- I don’t know why, let’s just apply antibiotics for the 10th time

- It’s a cavity, let’s wait till it grows

- Use these tiny between-teeth brushes for your gums

The last one actually helped.

Medical billing is the worst.

I got a physical in Oct 2020, but the coronavirus spiked and it took me until April 2021 to go in and do the labs. One Medical screwed up the billing, coding them as diagnostic instead of preventative (or however that works).

I got nasty letters from both LabCorp and One threatening to send me to collections and ding my credit and all that. I'd text One and they'd be like "oh, just ignore those. We'll fix it." Months go by. "Just ignore them. We'll get to it."

It's such a massive what the fuck.

Except regular people want to be able to watch a video without screen tearing, or use their nice new monitor at a resolution that suits their needs without the UI being tiny/huge. It doesn't matter if the user experience is consistent, if it is consistently not what they need, they'll still switch away.

Not breaking stuff is a great goal, but it is a trade off, there is a cost to supporting the old, and it isn't always worth paying. Just sounds like your priorities don't line up with the people actually paying and doing the work. Your attempts to convince that it's a better option by telling them they are stupid actually are misguided if you think that'll actually work.
I think you're not mistaken with your view.

I see Gates as the reference point and the pioneer: Halloween documents and all that. Strangle market.

Ballmer: Double down on Windows, developers, EEE, tell them as overtly as possible. Strangle people, developers and software.

Nadella: Be soft, be friendly, pin down developer ecosystem, take away what makes Linux magical and embed into Windows ecosystem, make Linux irrelevant so it's not a threat anymore.

They're trying to do the same things in a different manner.

Microsoft is Microsoft. They make great hardware. I pay for Office license, and buy upgrades for family computers, yet I won't lend them my sins for a second.

I'm not one of these guys who hates Microsoft, because it's cool. I was using their keyboards and mice for a long time, and actively recommended them (still do, actually), but when it comes to playing nice with open source, haha, that's not existent. Let's not kid ourselves.
Google Translate does the same in many languages, to the point that it will often reverse the meaning of a sentence. I honestly feel like these tools are still mostly useful when you don't really need to know what the text means.
Houses last 100 years? They can, but typically after 20 years it starts to make economic sense to scoop the remains of the house into a dump truck and build a fancier house on the now much more expensive land under it.

In my neighborhood (admittedly, originally built in the 50s) every single sale I can remember from the last 15 years has resulted it a complete teardown and rebuild bigger. And one of those rebuilds recently changed hands and is undergoing extensive remodeling for over a year now.
This is the coolest Website I have seen in a very long time!

No, what most people mean when they say "in production" is "in a real project" in the sense that it is or will be published and used. It means something that is more than a demo / PoC / etc. You're being so ridiculously pedantic it's shocking.
Wayland has in-built backwards compatibility in the form of XWayland, so you can continue to run every X program you want.

It seems to me that "a lot of uncertainty going around for years" would make some attempt to actually set up a buffer to better absorb shocks and adapt. This is not about predicting the future, it is about failing to manage a clearly increased risk of failing to predict the future.
Hey, me and my friends are using NATS with our OP project. One of us just posted this article check it out, i would love to here some feedback from other NATS enthusiastic

Hmm. Antipatterns do matter though - red tape abounds and is rarely conducive to good apps. Don't, e.g., bother to write comments for all your functions, modularize everything, or insist that every line of code must be tested.

Not that those things can't be good in small amounts, 95% of modern web dev is busy nonsense like this, and it shows. Tech decisions are another source of waffling, to be sure. There has been more than one rewrite of a product to a worse product, to a product being again rewritten, or practically rewritten, because the rewrite was bad.

Yeah some of it is management sticking its nose where it doesn't belong, but yeah, I think the point is also that devs argue about mostly what doesn't matter, instead of focusing on what does matter.

> Epic was considered a decent company to work at

heard this is no longer the case with the pandemic. Apparently the CEO had some questionable perspectives on COVID for someone who managed health tech. None of my friends who had jobs there made it through covid without quitting or watching their team quit.

Anecdotally, their recruiting is a mess and the IQ test type interviewing is very common for them instead of FAANG style interviews. I reached out to them at a career fair and they laughed at me and told me I was unqualified because by resume said "medical engineering with a focus on software" and said they only wanted software engineering. That day I re-wrote my resume to say "CS with a focus on medical tech" (I was formally un-declared as a student at the time) and the same person who threw out my resume offered to interview me - I declined.

* I also would later graduate with a degree in computers not medicine, in large part due to that interaction, despite forming a very negative perception of that recruiters behavior.
> The only real fully existential physical threats to the US will come not from sea, air, or land, cyber, or biology where it is already well defended, but from space.

hahaha this is so out of touch. The biggest threat to the US is the US itself. The country is at war against its own population.
Indeed! Happy to see them mentioned here. The recent stuff since one half of the band unfortunately took his life is good too.

Yeah, I really hope they don't do this. I live in a country where I don't speak the language well, so I am using Google Translate and DeepL [0] all day every day. The quality of translations of real-world text is so incredibly variable. There is literally no way to know when it will suddenly reverse the meaning of a sentence, or produce something that sounds like it makes sense, but in terms of meaning bears no relation to the input at all.

A machine-translated Wikipedia would not be a trustworthy source of information at all, yet would look like one. I think that does significantly more harm than good.

I don't think it was written by a bot, just in a post-modern style. I think the article has a point, which I take to mean some at the higher levels of achievement are especially susceptible to imposter syndrome can become dependent on the analyst, and since those at higher levels of achievement usually have money, they can spend a lot chasing answers (It reminds me a little of plastic surgery addiction)
Asteroid mining in 50 years is also the least realistic thing he said. 50 years ago we had already been to the moon, and now people are talking about the possibility that we might at some point go back a few years from now.

Now you want to add self replicating robots on that timescale... Why not time travel and FTL while you’re at it.
Which you should use are often unknowable because it's often about how the code is driven by the data - you need to know the characteristics of the data to know how the code will behave, only then can you meaningfully talk about picking a 'better' heuristic.

Analogy: otherwise you're just optimising the design of a car. But optimising it for what? speed, efficiency, reliability, price, weight, carrying capacity... You first need to know how it's expected to be used.

I guess local inlining might sometimes be an unconditional win, but even then only under specific circumstances.

This is a very old website, and apparently they redesigned it. I love the music they make. Some of the sets are exceptional, even.

They also publish these as a podcast too. It's available in iTunes IIRC.

On the other hand, I can use music as an external clock source for my brain. I can adjust the fuel/air ratio of my brain, and make it cruise or go flat out fast. At the end of the day, my energy is limited, and if I need to finish things, I go fast, but got burned at the end of the day. Then go home, and just sit and chill down.

If my workload is normal, I listen to something more chill, allows a more even day, but I don't go as fast.

Municipalities can certainly work together on a regional level, my explanation does not exclude that option. Just that the funding has to come from the local level, this serves as a verification that there is a local need for the line and that the need outweighs the alternatives.

We know the line in question was not profitable, that's why it was shut down. I don't know if this was beyond municipality level but I would assume so.

When my parents got their house one of the requirements my mom had was to move the water heater out of the hall closet and into a lean-to outside the kitchen door.

When I was a baby we lived in my aunt's basement for a few months and the water heater flooded the basement and my mom swore she would never live in the same house as one of those again.

Assuming you meet the fundamentals of online privacy [0], and you are unwilling to go the "degen" route (second-hand-wiped-paid-cash laptop < bare-bones OS < VPN routing < VM < VPN routing < Tor [1]).

Is there any[2] future in which true online privacy is achieved without legislation, through sheer innovation?

Is this future just for power-users (like now) or also for the average internet enjoyer?

Looks like they do have a pretrained model:

https://github.com/google/ml-compiler-opt/releases/tag/inlin...

The code will by default auto-download it during the build process. It's about 800 kbytes, which seems very reasonable for something that will reduce the generated code size by gigabytes for a large codebase.

Note that the open-source-ness is dubious... They say it was trained using an optimizer which isn't opensource, and that the results are significantly better ('more generalizable') than using the open source one. In my view, if the code that makes a binary blob isn't opensource, then the project isn't opensource...

i have been thinking about getting a solar water heater>heat pump>radiator to warm up my home but the costs just dont make sense because of the heat pump. i am told the life expectancy of a good heatpump is like 10 years, that amount divided by only 10 winters it is expected to see is more than what we currently pay for electricity in winters, accepting that we don't currently have whole house heating, (we rely on personal hot water bottles/electric blankets in bed)
In most states they don’t have to ask. A generic is equivalent substitute for the brand name.
Sometimes this is intentional to keep paths clear. Idaho is much colder than Leipzig in winter.
reminded - our cat was flossing his teeth using the corn broom that we had. He would press the broom with his paw and would byte a fiber close to the broom root and would move his head away so that the fiber would be flossing the teeth, and he would repeat it multiple times flossing different teeth. Still had perfect teeth at 13 when the cancer took him.
That pattern may be reasonable for "Are you sure" kind of requests for actions that the user explicitly wanted - because then there really is a sane default; we expect the user didn't click on some button by accident. But it's not reasonable to portray questions that are asking the user to agree to something they did not explicitly want; that's just trying to trick the user to make the annoying popup go away by clicking the big button. There's no sane default here, so none should be preselected (and ideally, the layout of confirmation dialogs and agreement dialogs would not be identical in the first place).

It's a dark pattern, and I really doubt it's accidental.
Weird - natural gas was, up until last year, the cheapest of all options in Austria. My father used to pay more in base fees and taxes than the actual gas. For some people, prices now went up by x8, so it’s now the most expensive option. Many are looking into heat pumps + solar right now.
There are two categories of healthcare right? Palliative and preventative. Which one would an echo be in this case? If he had violent symptoms it would clearly be palliative, but in this case it can only be preventative
Why don't they just lock the door?

I get that there is the view of "but why should I have to?" but that seems like a fairly simple solution to people entering a door they shouldn't.

Plus obviously if it reduces violent threats from your friend then the world is also a slightly better place as a result.

Countries have largely stopped declaring war even when they send troops to overthrow a county. It's the kind of distiction the only matters in international politics.

To underscore how silly this is the last time the US “declared” war was 1942. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war_by_the_Unit...
When modernizing processes becomes too hard, it is almost always a sign for the processes being way too complex and needing a complete overhaul.

US healthcare billing certainly could benefit from a massive simplification, and the reason of the success of neobanks/fintech is the same: they always started from green fields and didn't have to fight internal politics battles to change a data entry mask.
It's not really a curse. Your brain has a region which is devoted to speech/language, and that region tends to only track one thing at a time. This is why the first advice in active listening tutoring—and related fields like marriage counseling and negotiation—tell you to stop planning your responses while someone else is speaking. Similarly why when I talk with my wife about whatever conversation is happening on TV, we invariably miss some bit of that conversation.

In that light, all you are reporting is more difficulty than other folks have in tuning out the voice in the music... Different people can do this better or worse, and I'm pretty sure it can be honed if you want. Don't let it concern you too much :)

The mixes on musicforprogramming do sometimes have words but they tend to be really kind of subdued and muted, I found them reasonably effective for programming, your mileage may vary.

Still my go-to is Rainy Mood, I use it to sleep, but somehow it's also useful to program with as long as I'm not too drowsy. I have it installed as a PWA on my MacBook so that I can Cmd-Tab to it when I need to shut it down.
Oh, well that's way better. Thanks for clarifying!
