Mh, beside the issue of a spreadsheet itself [1] and the fact it's shared to the world [2] the real computation must be another: since crystal balls are out of service but luck is blind and bad luck sees very well... The right computation, witch happen to be pure logic NOT reducible to math, a thing soo many people forget is IMVHO "how likely is a diesel/gasoline shortage in the subsequent 1-8 years future?", "can I eventually charge LOCALLY on my own energy (p.v. typically) a BEV?", "can I sustain to buy a new BEV at current prices every 5-8-10 years?".

The answer to this three questions is not numeric, but it's the key. Having an EV to protect themselves against fuel shortage is meaningless if you can't charge it autonomously, being able to buy one but unable to sustain it's CapEx is a desperate action, that tend to have equally desperate consequences, otherwise if you are not living in a country who produce LOCALLY enough oil and have a population enough ready to fight if needed to get it an EV is not economically convenient, but it's a guarantee to being able to travel. The importance of such expensive guarantee it's very personal, depending on so many parameters that's more easy to estimate in person instead of trying summarize all of them for a generic solution.

Really of topic but IMVHO more HN-ish is the means the author choose to share: if in 2022 someone willing to do something AND SHARE IT to the community, a technically sound one, resort to such tech... Well... That means we are really in a sorry state. It's NOT a critic to the author, nor an indirect encouragement against sharing, is instead a sore consideration of the actual state of computing and widespread tech knowledge.

[1] spreadsheets should NOT EXISTS at all, they are a tentative from another era to provide a flexible calculator for tabular data to the masses and such tentative was and is a FAILURE: instead of simplify it complicate things and instead of empower users if force them toward very bad paradigms.

[2] witch prove the very limited scale of such collaborative model, perhaps to be confronted with the SCM model(s) AND the idea of sharing "active" documents (formatting + code) like org-mode files in Emacs or Jupyter notebooks etc where any user get the doc (so the logic) and instantiate it alone on in a small cohort witch is the sole example of live collaboration limited effectiveness behind the WOW effect.

I expect the exact opposite, actually. GNOME has fought tooth-and-nail to get their downstream maintainers to stop modifying their software, I doubt they'd take something like that sitting down.
are there any other car manufacturer that provide descent autonomy beyond tesla at the moment ?

2035 seems awfully close looking at the quality of current models available..
I disagree. All the examples you mention are part of the software supply chain.

To me it doesn't matter if code comes in through a vendor, a dependency or is written in house.

It's all well within the responsibility of the organization owning and deploying the artifacts.
Yes, it's about trust.

But what aspects? Is it just "I trust that and there's not much there, ok we're secure?" It's a little more complicated.

The stuff in the article is about leaving audit trails to verifiable identities taking known actions. To quote Ronald Reagan, tongue in cheek, "trust but verify."
You mention losing your private key, what about somebody else getting it (data leak, hack...) and controlling your identity before the end of the 3 months?

Blockchain-based "solutions" are not actual solutions because they don't account for this fairly common case. Once they do, they rely on a 3rd-party, and you're back to square one.
Yes you can stretch anything to fit a narrative. Amazon runs the platform that sells everything so they shouldn’t be allowed to buy anything.
It's not some intellectual matter to dissect. It's not that spicy food hurts less or tests better to me than to others but that I love the pain and the challenge and how far I can push my tolerance.

The "not minding the pain" aspect.

My limit is when it gets so spicy you spend the next 8-12 hours in pain like you drank acid. Find yourself a nice old thai place and make a special request "make me cry" and they will oblige.

All good things hurt at some point.

I'm a big fan of espanso! I use it on my MacBook, my Linux desktop, and on Windows at work. Works very well on all three. I use many plain / dumb snippets, a few forms and date-based ones, and a few shell and Powershell scripts.

I also would feel bad if I didn't mention that the main developer seems incredibly nice. I looked at this as a rust project to which I might be able to make minor contributions as a newb (which I still haven't done unfortunately). Federico goes out of his way to respond (quickly) to GH issues or posts on the subreddit in the kindest way imaginable.

Sure, I have a couple. I will warn you that I don’t know much about how BinDiff works, other than knowing it does :)

The “Achilles heel” of binary differs is recompiling with different flags or making other minor changes that alter all basic blocks. Do you think the techniques BinDiff uses could be extended to work on “semantics” at a higher level rather than actual code? Like, doing the diff after an optimizing decompiler has run over it and lifted it.

If you were writing BinDiff today, what new techniques would you integrate? Or are you happy with the algorithms as they are already?

What kinds of things is BinDiff good at identifying? It’s often difficult to know beforehand “how well” a diff will work. How would you judge whether it’ll be worth it?
> Of course we could use Docker, but then on Mac our dev process would be 3x slower.

Not in my experience.

If you set up volumes for node_modules or any folders where where dependencies are stored you get the same performance on Mac as anywhere else.

For rust, which I use, I'm able to get better performance on Mac under docker than using rust tools natively. See https://purton.tech/blog/faster-rust-incremental-builds/

That is the kind of policies they are setting.

Tape your notes to the lid of the laptop and it's out of sight from even the most complete "scan" of a room. If people can cheat during an in person exam it's not possible to enforce cheating restrictions off-site, it's a completely useless loss of privacy to enforce an unenforceable idea.

I'm not pro-cheating, but this is just another example of tech trying to show that it can solve any social problem through even more technology and we already know this doesn't work. You must face the social issues head on, you can't just throw money at them in the form of more technology.

Haha! It's true - a coke spoon looks just like a mustard spoon, but a bit smaller. Typically they're both silver (or plate).

Fresh horseradish sauce is something that most people haven't encountered; most horseradish sauce comes in jars from supermarkets, and is tame stuff. If you make your own from fresh horseradish, have a glass of cold water to hand. It's in a different part of the Scoville Scale.
I think a lot of this is... bad. But not bad bad. It's bad in the sense of "This company is rubbish and Mudge clearly fought with Agrawal" but not bad in the sense of "This company is clearly doing illegal things".

For example, Mudge claiming he was ordered not to present a report to the board. He might not be happy about that, but that's perfectly fine, it's not down to him to chose what the CEO decides should be presented to the board, you can have perfectly reasonable disagreements about what's appropriate and at the end of the day the call is down to the CEO. The fact that there are other cases where board members intervene to tell Mudge this reinforces that.

Or the claim that the CEO instructed Mudge to send the board documents they both knew were misleading. This is an explosive claim, but it seems highly unlikely that Mudge can prove Agrawal knew the documents to be false, and misleading is impossible to know, because he can't know the context they were presented in. I think it's just highly unlikely that Twitter's CEO is so incompetent that he's just moustache twirling and lying to everyone, it seems highly likely this will come down to Agrawal having a different opinion or interpretation of the facts.

What really undermines the claim is when we get to this section:

>Agrawal’s tweet was a lie. In fact, Agrawal knows very well that Twitter executives are not incentivized to accurately “detect” or report total spam bots on the platform.

Mudge is massively over-reaching here. At best, an argument can be made that at some point there are some perverse incentives where allowing spam bots could inflate numbers to make the company look successful. But even if that argument were convincing, which it isn't, Agrawal clearly doesn't believe it. It's trivial to make Agrawal's argument here.

That's why this looks like big claims, but unsupported claims. Because where it's clear that people can reasonably believe what they say but disagree with each other, Mudge claims one side must be lying. What could easily presented as openness, honesty and transparency about the challenges the company faces("Mudge asked the Head of Site... what the underlying spam bot numbers were. Their response was "We don't really know.”) - Mudge basslessly claims this is essentially proves they were acting in bad faith.

This all looks designed to be explosive on first sight, but not actually correct in the detail.
If life was fair then Microsoft would choose a different name.

However, Microsoft has a team of lawyers and have been known to go after other tech products to protect their trademarks and copyrights.

Devbox is an awesome tool. If it becomes popular enough, I would not be surprised if it attracts unwanted legal attention. (Sadly, it has happened to other tools and products.)

> It feels like stifling innovation and productivity, which will be overly negative for everyone.

From a business perspective that might be partly true. But anti-trust / anti-competition policies are not just to provide a level playing ground for businesses but also consumers. A giant conglomerate might have a higher productivity, but that doesn't mean that benefit will be passed to the consumer unless they have rival businesses to compete with. Competition promotes more innovation and is more socially beneficial to both businesses and consumers than giant conglomerates that just become obese and unhealthy after a point.

How does this create a new monopoly?
Many Senates, including the original in Rome, are appointees with little or no democratic legitimacy and the person I responded to literally suggested a title swap.

And I'm not sure the democratic legitimacy of the role she was appointed to in the UK has much to do with her entirely separate organization's involvement in petitioning elected politicians in California. If you want to argue for improving the UK legislative approval process by reforming its second chamber I'm all in favour, but that has nothing to do with 'OMG! British Baronesses! In our country' tone of the article.

That's vertical integration and is mostly orthogonal to anti-competitive behavior. A million dollar startup could do those things too.

Completely agree, there are synergies in these acquisitions, but it's also the breadth of them as well. Amazon has become a very broad business with vast distances between business units, but with a thread of related interested between them. Much like GE really, GE is routed in "old school" engendering, and thats the synergy that connects the relatively unrelated business it owns. For Amazon that synergy is the Internet, if it uses the internet then thats enough of a connection if the financials make sense.
Then you would want to be able to run Android apps surely? IOS apps are hyper-focused on a limited set of specific hardware produced by a single vendor. Not to mention that Apple sucks to develop for without actually having Apple hardware and Apple operating systems available.
They also want to become more involved with live sport broadcasts (NFL and Premier League for example). EA has some major sport licenses (NHL, NFL, FIFA, PGA, F1, UFC)

That is not quite the right calculation. To see this, try plugging 0.75 into the same formula to get Stockfish's expected score. The result is about 0.3545. If this were the correct formula, then the two expected scores should sum to 1, but in this case we only get 0.3612.

Instead, you should convert the 0.25 to "odds" form. 0.25 is 1:3 odds, represented by the number 1/3. (1/3)^((3585 - 2864)/200) is about 0.01905 (still in odds form). To convert this back to an expected score you would take 0.01905 / (1 + 0.01905) = 0.0187. So Magnus Carlsen's expected score is 0.0187.

Applying the same method to Stockfish, we have 3:1 odds, which is represented by the number 3. 3^((3585 - 2864)/200) is about 52.48. Converting back to expected score we get 52.48 / (1 + 52.48) = 0.9813. So Stockfish's expected score is 0.9813.

Our sanity check is to add 0.0187 + 0.9813. The result is 1.0, as it should be.

I think they don’t matter because even modest complexity produces this situation. This isn’t a hypothetical, it’s the far reaching majority of real, practical code.
The Lego Movie

no, really
I have a rule that helps with hidden state and out-of-order execution. Once in a while I do a "restart kernel and run all cells." If doing that breaks anything, then I have to fix it. But it also ensures that a notebook is reproducible later on. Of course I don't have things that take hours to run.

It would be nice if there were something that would make out-of-order problems light up, the way that code editors can highlight errors while you're editing. A limitation of "browser as editor" is that it misses out on some of the powerful things that code editors do today.

Another thing is to put things in functions, so temporary variables are disposed of. That's a halfway step to putting things in .py files. A benefit if .py files is not always that jupyter is bad, but that variable scoping is good hygiene.

True technical literacy is at an all time low, IMO. Whilst more people than ever are "online", the barrier for admission is so low and very few people ever seem to learn more than they absolutely need to.

As you can't develop software on phones and tablets, very few people are tinkering with software. The Pi and iOS app craze brought a momentary change, but it seems to have gone back to how it was—and worse.

Kids of today are mostly out of their depth when put in front of a computer of any description if it is beyond basic website usage. Complex program? Forget it. Decent typing skills? Forget it. Networking know-how they'd have picked up from doing LAN gaming with consoles or PCs? No chance. Change a drive? LOL.

For the handful of kids that game on PCs, they're generally not very clued up and they're just copying builds they've seen on YouTube to the word. It's a sad state of affairs.

And yes—of course, there are the kids or us turbo nerds, because of course there are, but they are so few and far between.

'Reached out' is top of my list on written annoyances.

Top of my list for verbal annoyances is 'beginning your answer to every question with "So..." which seems to have reached epidemic proportions [over here in UK anyway] in TV and radio interviews:

Q: And what is the government's response to this?

A: So... What we've said...

Q: I believe you've been to France?

A: So... I went to France last year...

Q: What age are you?

A: So... I'll be 45 next August

It's one of those things that, once you start noticing it, you can't stop. I actually find myself tensing in anticipation now, when someone is being asked a question. Waiting for the inevitable "So..." in response.

On the upside, it does make picking whose side I'm on in a debate that much easier. First person to come out with "So..." is immediately assumed to be a wanker and in the wrong. This is not as shallow as it may sound, as the verbal tic seems particularly beloved of politicians and spokespersons for various money-grabbing organisations.
