> All fintech relies on two things: A bank and a payment network

Actually, one of those two isn't necessary – the payment network.

It's possible to build a payment platform _just_ on top of banks. We're doing exactly this at Sway.

In Europe this is driven by Open Banking initiatives. In the US, this will land next year with the FedNow service.

In other parts of the world, like China, Brazil, and India, instant (and free) payment networks have existed for a long while.

Yes, I think this is undervalued feature, which should be used more in professional contexts.

- being able to tag a commit, which automatically updates silkscreen with tag name/board revision and commit date.

- being able to run automated checks on outputs (are part numbers defined for all components? are they valid? are they in stock?)

- not being able to produce outputs if DRC fails (I have messed up real bad by exporting gerbers in Altium with shelved polygons)

- all of the outputs are produced at the same time (I have messed up with re-exporting gerbers but not BOM)

- making sure that design is atomic/does not depend on libraries present only on a particular machine

I recently went one step further and set up CI job to check symbols in my personal library using kicad-library-utils (which performs the same checks as for the symbols in official kicad libraries, which ensures consistent style and allows for custom checks (e.g. MPN/Manufacturer fields present).

But it's still not true as stated.

Well to Wheel analysis reliably shows that hydrogen FCEV are more energy efficient than ICE vehicles.

(Battery EV are better again, because Hydrogen productiom does use some energy).

So efficiency improvements make FCEVs more energy efficient overall, despite the Hydrogen production step replacing fossil fuels.

It was so long ago, I don't even remember whether it was in a book or article. That's why I asked, hoping to find it again. I just remember being impressed with the complex considerations behind what initially appeared to be simplistic design choices.
Energy is used rather than power as it's the cumulative effect in energy incidents that causes damage. In most of the world, the unit is J/cm2, though.
Of course, the banks don't just give a large loan without due diligence. The difference is that if you don't need both a "good credit report" and proof of income/assets/revenue, you just need the latter (obviously simplifying but your credit report is considered good as long as it's not bad, rather than bad until it's good).
These ACPI tables are commonly broken. Who creates and tests them?

I agree. For many BigCos this is not an active intent of malice. Often the 2 people do hope their vision will change the company. However, the company is often filled with these groups of "2 people" all trying to move the needle also, leading to a single vision not being effective.

My advice is have an honest and frank conversation with BigCo. Let them know it is in no one's interests for your start up to go out of business, and when they are doing at things at scale you (startup owner) can discuss passing on those economies of scale in terms of dedicated work, discounts, etc.
If the choice is between a compile time warning and a runtime crash, I will take the warning every single time: much closer to the actual error. You're probably asking for a compile time error instead.

Indeed the `-Werror` option is often a good thing to have (though I don't set it by default on my free software projects, because other people might use other compilers with different warnings, and I don't want to block them outright).
So all those movies where juries find the defendant guilty or not guilty are wrong?

If you like a flower, do you feel the need to thank it? No, right? A flower does what flowers do. So what's different about this scenario? The difference is you're using expression of gratitude as a tactic to manipulate.

ugh, no, the difference is that your partner is a human being that can't read minds. if you expect them to know that you are grateful without expressing it then that may seriously hurt your relationship.

i'd rather think that if you believe that everyone expressing gratitude is manipulative then that makes you the sociopath.
I assume the M1/M2 performance versions are much more expensive (very large L1/L2 caches, see Ryzen vs Ryzen X3D performance, and that only increases cheap L3 cache) than AMD processors. Apple can afford this I assume with high end laptop and their margins from owning the supply chain. Apple has the benefit of not telling and you can't buy an M1 (?). I would be interested about production costs of Ryzen vs. M1/M2 processors, any sources?
I agree that 12th gen can sustain good performance given decent cooling. However, the issue is still heat.

It could be fun to have a `lap benchmark`. That is can you keep a laptop on your lap while it runs Cinebench R23 for 10 minutes? With TB disabled, I can.
> You are forbidden by law (and mandated to report) such arcs in Europe.

When you say in Europe, normally that refers to an EU Regulation or Directive (since other legislation varies wildly in member states). What are you referring to here?
Thanks.

Yeah, I always got the impression that, the closer you get to the "epicenter" of Tesla's initial operations, the stronger the anti-Tesla sentiment. Which initially seems weird. After all, shouldn't people be rooting for their "home team"?

But if you're doing you're commute and you're stuck behind a Tesla testing FSD beta, I can imagine being annoyed. I can see how that almost feels as if the company banking profits that you and other drivers have to pay for. That is a point that is hard to see for someone living outside of any FSD Beta hotspot.

> Ford went from 0 to 3 million cars in less than 10 years. Without electricity, robots, or fancy technology.

Also without, initially, competition or regulation. And with some other benefits as well. From Bill Bryon, One Summer, which I happen to be reading at the moment:

> In 1914, Ford introduced an eight-hour day, forty-hour week and doubled average salaries to $5 a day in what is often presented as an act of revolutionary magnanimity. In fact, it was necessitated by the costly waste of high employee turnover – a breathtaking 370 per cent in 1913. At the same time, Ford established its notorious Sociological Department, employing some two hundred investigators who were empowered to look into every aspect of employees’ private lives – their diet, hygiene, religion, personal finances, recreational habits and morals. Ford’s workforce was full of immigrants – in some periods as many as two thirds of his employees were from abroad – and Ford genuinely wished to help them live healthier, more satisfying lives, so his sociological meddling was by no means entirely a bad thing. However, there was almost nothing Henry Ford did that didn’t have some bad in it somewhere, and the Sociological Department certainly had a totalitarian tinge. Ford employees could be ordered to clean their houses, tidy their yards, sleep in American-style beds, increase their savings, modify their sexual behaviour, and otherwise abandon any practice that a Ford inspector deemed ‘derogatory to good physical manhood or moral character’. [...] Ford also hired black men, though he nearly always gave them the hottest, dirtiest and most exhausting jobs.

Not trying to dismiss Ford's achievements here. It's just that nobody can replicate Ford today. If scaling car production was such an easy thing, and Teslas are of such terrible quality, competition such as Lucid and Rivian should be having an easy time. Yet that's not what we're seeing at all.
In Australia, we've experienced all of the above within the last couple years. Worst droughts in 20+ years, biggest bushfire season ever, and now record breaking flooding.

(1) is correct, but I believe (2) is no longer assumed to be true (especially the part about random RNA in the ocean).

The major problem is concentration. Even if you invoke geological timescales and a favourable redox environment, concentrations of reactants would be rapidly diluted in the ocean. Since there are quite a few dehydration reactions in the synthesis of oligonucleotides (like RNA) and proteins, when diluted in the ocean, the plentiful water drives the equilibrium back towards the starting materials. Without some mechanism to accumulate the reactants to form the first R/DNA, it remains an open question how the process got started.

There used to be a homeostasis-first theory—to compete with the metabolism-first and oligonucleotide-first theories—but it hasn't gained a lot of traction as an independent theory.
Its a great stack and works well together. Ingest with Fivetran, transform with DBT and store in Snowflake. Simple, serverless, consumption based pricing etc. definetly better than the old ETL world!
It's still not fun, but I'd put it on par with Altium Designer:

+ at least I don't have to generate my own bog-standard 0402, 0603 resistor/capacitor footprints,

+ a lot of the standard IPC-something footprints are included in kicad standard library (e.g. SOT23, SOP8, etc)

+ you can easily copy an existing transistor symbol, assign it a particular footprint you've verified and save to your library).

- Altium has a lot more built-in wizards for symbol and footprint generation. There are some online kicad symbol library generators and a few built-in footprint wizards, but I believe AD has more.

The Altium online component library probably does provide a larger selection, but I personally don't really trust it to be around forever. I'm also not sure if you don't need an active altium subscription (5000-8000USD/yr/seat) to have access to it.
Could you expand on this? What do you mean by the "existing speaker lines"?
In my experience, there's actually gold to be dug from that relationship. The people who spend money in these BigCo don't spend their own money and their motives are structured way differently than what would be in a small business.

The BigCo can actually pay you big if you can improve the career and boost the ego of those who will make the decisions. To do this, you need to give people something that they can present to their own managers in a very positive light so they can present it to their own managers. That's how you can build a momentum of people who can push for purchase of your product.

From what I'se seen, making the life easier of some technical employees is not good. Think putting something trendy in it that the managers would love to boost about it. Could be a trendy tech(big data, AI etc.), could be social proof(Apple and Nvidia are also buying from this company). Just try to structure your marketing(which roughly means finding your customers, not to be confused with advertising) in a way that matches the incentives of people who don't spend their own money but try to work their way up in structured relationship. Of course, your product should also accomplish something so you can have a long term business. So it's not a fraud, it just needs right kind of engagement.

Jim Keller?

IC: A few people consider you 'The Father of Zen', do you think you’d scribe to that position? Or should that go to somebody else?

JK: Perhaps one of the uncles. There were a lot of really great people on Zen. There was a methodology team that was worldwide, the SoC team was partly in Austin and partly in India, the floating-point cache was done in Colorado, the core execution front end was in Austin, the Arm front end was in Sunnyvale, and we had good technical leaders. I was in daily communication for a while with Suzanne Plummer and Steve Hale, who kind of built the front end of the Zen core, and the Colorado team. It was really good people. Mike Clark's a great architect, so we had a lot of fun, and success. Success has a lot of authors - failure has one. So that was a success. Then some teams stepped up - we moved Excavator to the Boston team, where they took over finishing the design and the physical stuff, Harry Fair and his guys did a great job on that. So there were some fairly stressful organizational changes that we did, going through that. The team all came together, so I think there was a lot of camaraderie in it. So I won't claim to be the ‘father’ - I was brought in, you know, as the instigator and the chief nudge, but part architect part transformational leader. That was fun.

> Some of our customers still think we’re one of those big enterprise software companies where you call them up, negotiate with a salesperson for three months, and, on the last day of the fiscal quarter, force the salesperson to promise a long list of new features in exchange for a half-million dollar contract.

> That’s nice, but we don’t have salespeople and we’re not one of those vendors. Our customers are happy that our price point is low but not all of them quite understand the implications. They ask us to fly out to their headquarters to give a demo of the software to their development team. They send us long spreadsheets with lists of features and ask us to check off the features we support. They even send us RFPs (shudder). RFP stands for “Request for Proposal.” It’s a request by a large company for a custom proposal from a small company. The small company works on the 200 page laser-printed proposal like mad for three weeks and Fedexes it in great expense and at the last minute, where it gets put in the trash because the large company has their favorite vendor who takes them on a helicopter to Atlantic City on junkets involving blackjack and strippers, and who is going to get the contract no matter what, but someone in purchasing for some unexplained reason, maybe he’s bucking for a promotion is insisting that the proposal be opened up to “competitive bidding” and the small company has been chosen as a victim to write up a proposal that has no chance of being accepted just to make the process look a little bit less corrupt, and if you’re a small company, I would recommend that you don’t fall for it and don’t spend any time responding to RFPs unless it’s already understood that you’re going to get the contract.

Flooding worked for me https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooding_(psychology). I did it very gradually and spent a ton of time on the process (about 4 hours a day for a month or two). I did it mostly on my own though and it surely would have been faster if I had someone pushing me (I got the blessing of my therapist, but they didn't partake).

I wouldn't say it has cured it, however, as it will come back if I don't actively exercise it. I've had to do the flooding process again when I reverted during a particularly busy time in my life.

As someone who has sometimes used "food waste" as an excuse to overeat, I find the concept of "metabolic food waste" useful. That is, food that you overeat is still wasted food. If you bought or cooked too much food, that was the point at which you made a mistake, and that mistake cannot be undone by proceeding to stuff your face.
CO2 and NO2 emissions are an externalized cost for Oil&Gas industry.

If I run a nuclear power business commissioning power plants I am responsible for the nuclear waste that is generated. That means that I have to internalize the cost of proper waste management to avoid environmental impact.

If I run an Automotive business or a Refinery the emissions are a by-product of my activity. A costumer wants to go from A to B in a car they don't want to spew NO2 and physically reduce the longevity of everyone around them.

For anything related to fossil fuels the industry has largely got away with externalizing the environmental costs of their activity.

This is exactly the same as the plastic usage in packaging. Polluting saves on the industry bottom line, the externalized cost is somehow expected to be picked up by governments/citizens. This is the main point were we all disagree with you.
I am referring to the work by Fabian Mentzer and related approaches, which covers both lossless and lossy compression.
One way you can achieve this using SRS is forcing very short recall times. I average under 2 seconds a card in review: my view is that if I can't recall it in under 2 seconds (what would be realistic in a real-life scenario when speaking a language) then I don't know it. It's a method that's trained me to be very fast at recalling words when needed.
You are making a very important assumption that doesn't hold in most situations.

Chess and math are regular domains. They are bounded. There is right and wrong. Most domains are not like this. Ex: art, software engineering, investing, etc.

You can't memorize your way to understanding in an irregular domain. It also doesn't tend to do well in non-knowledge work domains. Ex: sports.
I also have the XPS 17 with i7-12700H and 4K screen. I'm able to get 8-10 hours of work (compiling Rust, several docker containers on the run, at least a dozens tabs, etc...).

I'm on ArchLinux with a window manager and no desktop whatsoever. I also disabled the GPU. I wonder if there is something draining your battery on the background.
Interesting. Can you list an example of C++ type system allowing optimization Rust system doesn't?
Finally an article I can agree with.

C is great mostly because it's easy to learn, and it has many other advantages.

I dislike all those new languages because they have too many features, and they're non trivial to learn.

I've looked at some rust codebases and I don't think there will be a lot of people who will want to maintain them. Rust is difficult, even though it's an awesome language.

A language that could compete with C would:

* Be fast to compile

* Have some quality of life things you can find in the C++ STL: map, string, etc

* Look a lot like C, meaning it would not try to innovate too much.

To summarize, it would be a lighter version of C++.
