> That said, does anyone know if Rust is actually used in any modern embedded devices?

The official Rust website has a page[0] with some quotes from companies using it in sensors and some other things.

Naturally, most companies won't be too outspoken about how they write their proprietary software.

Non are in the exact same business but there are significant overlaps.

Amazon makes it's profit from AWS, which is in the same business (and beating) Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.

Putting Amazon and Apple in the same business is a bit more of a stretch. Amazon sells things (and is nowadays mostly a middle man for third parties selling things through Amazon warehouses and delivery), Apple designs (and has them manufactured by third parties) things from CPUs all up the value chain to devices and it's software. The overlap is partially in services, but of which aren't particularly strong right now (Amazon Prime Movies/Series vs Apple TV+). There's not really a competition on devices anymore (Fire Phone/tablets vs iPhone/iPad).
They are not capitalist.

They are sociologists / journalists / non-technical economists earning 50k (barely percentile 60), and telling us daily how action X is immoral (exactly what bishops and priests used to do).

I think the left has fundamentally gotten crime wrong. And I say this as a strong progressive. I understand the rationale with bias in everything from the laws, to police enforcement, to the judicial system, to ability to be gainfully employed after conviction, to impact on family -- but I think it's one of those areas where getting a few constant factors wrong in our calculus made us go in the wrong direction. But that obviously is completely tangential to this article.

It's pretty well drilled into your head in most lower-level license courses that you should never be in an enclosed/overhead environment without proper training AND equipment like a bail-out bottle. One of the basic requirements of Decompression (Tec) diving is a fully redundant second air supply, which is generally not necessary with rec diving for the very reason you stated: an emergency ascent within deco limits is generally very safe even without the (optional) safety stop.

Most deaths of rec divers are caused by a lack of training that leads to panic and drowning at depth or the surface. For this reason, more advanced (and arguably all) scuba diving is the province of those with complete focus and mental fortitude.
For people using or considering Mosh or Eternal Terminal: I'd love if you could try DomTerm (https://domterm.org). Specifically DomTerm's support for stable remote connections - see https://domterm.org/Remoting-over-ssh.html .
DomTerm has some advantages over Mosh, including more complete emulation of modern terminals, buitin tiling+tabs (connect and manage many local and remote terminals), and it has decent input prediction as well as optional local input line editing.
The Book Depository is another excellent Amazon book seller. Not the fastest shipping, but always real books, and great collection of specialty technical books. Highly recommended.
Zig does have "translate-c", which attempts to convert C code to Zig code. Similarly to D, it's used for a feature to automatically import C headers into a Zig program. But even that's based on libclang's parser and AST.

I replied to OP but the question was pointed to a broader audience. Many on HN have _very_ negative feelings for Elon.

He's a pretty crazy guy, but I can think of few people/companies who are doing things that could have as big of an impact as Tesla, Starlink, and SpaceX.

I understand how you could have doubts with Tesla, but that how could those feelings not dissolve when seeing those reusable boosters land on their own? How many other organizations could do such a thing?

AI for Creating Video Games Based on Animated Shows
This just crossed my mind. I was watching a mod remastering The Simpsons Hit And Run game, and I was thinking how it is not too far-fetched to use Stable Diffusion to help create video games based on these shows.

If you think about it like so it’s apparent that more people have lived and died then are living:

In 1804, there were 1 billion people. If the average generation lives 40 years (not a perfect estimate, but not awful at least till the late 1900s), that’s at least 5 billion people dead that lived over that time ignoring all population growth. But by 1900 we had about 2 billion people and using similar logic we could adjust our number up.
2.5 bill 1800-1900 and 5 bill 1900-2000. It has been half a generation since 2000, and in 2000 we had 6 billion. We have life expectancy issues at this point but I would expect you’d agree that we’ve had a further 1.5 billion deaths since then.

I’m other words, I would be surprised if there are more people alive now than had lived in the last 220 years. You could do a cumulative sum of population data to get a really rough number but it would double count those who lived through several censuses. This logic isn’t perfect but is a good motivating example for why these numbers add up.

>Outside-in generally uses photo-diodes with lighter processing.

No. There were only 3 consumer headsets to use outside in tracking. They were the Oculus Rift DK2 and CV1 and the PS VR headset. All of those tracking systems used cameras and not photodiodes. Even commercial outside in tracking solutions like optitrack don't use photodiodes.

It's because the privilege is being more wealthy, not being white. If the privilege only applies to rich whites and also applies to rich Asians and blacks then it's not white privilege but simply privilege.

I believe you may have misread the parent -- I believe the author is implying that it's MSFT that has nothing new to sell (IIPC[1])

Storytime! As it happens, I was working at MSFT when the first M1-based MacBooks rolled out.

I actually ran around trying to get people to look at the specs and talk about this serious emergent threat. Rank & file SWEs just shrugged, and the vibe was that I wasn't senior enough to be allowed to worry about it.

I don't know what management was thinking. But, looking back over the years since, I'd reckon that whatever they were thinking was too quiet.

(There is a sidebar I am omitting about Permission to Worry, which is the name of an upcoming newsletter article I intend to write about this phenomenon -- I've come to regard it as the singular most important privilege that an organization can assign an employee -- but it is well beyond scope for this thread.)

Amazon has benefited from high price/earning ratios for decades; even the growth-adjusted PEG version has been aggressive.

Interesting comparison made by Horace Dediu: “Netflix, Apple and Microsoft all have similar P/E ratios. (25-26). Meta and Google have collapsed (9 and 18.5 respectively.) Amazon is holding 100.”

I assumed by class they were speaking about the delta between doctors/software engineers at Amazon and warehouse workers at Amazon. I assume generationally wealthy families applying to colleges are already identified by admission departments and their less qualified children's admission is (and would remain) predicated on donating to the library fund.

> The idea is to have a view built by the connections people on your instance make. The view from tech.lgbt is different from the view from photog.social, and that's a feature.

I looked at:
a) https://mstdn.social/tags/opensource
b) https://tech.lgbt/tags/opensource
c) https://photog.social/tags/opensource

They look completely identical, the feature isn't working.

I'm sceptical it's even an intended feature as much as just the overall result of the protocol design not putting too much thought into it.

> Smaller nodes can subscribe to relays if they find it too limiting.

I looked into it, that's actually a better solution than the old one I was aware of which involved a bot account automatically subscribing to different accounts across the fediverse. It's my understanding that needs to be explicitly configured by a Mastodon administrator for a subscription though, out of the hands of the user.

This still isn't particularly user friendly and I still think this is a terrible user experience, particularly when comments like these appear:

>>>> Hashtags play a huge role on Mastodon - discover people by following hashtags

>>> I'm probably twiddling the wrong buttons or something but whenever I've clicked on a Fediverse hashtag, it's always just been the hashtag on the originating server. Is there a way to get a wider view that I've missed?

These are very valid points, and we've heard this from other people after our launch (we definitely need to work on our messaging).

So here is my attempt at a clear(er) rundown! We want to create a unified file manager for all the apps/services you use. You connect NeveMind to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneCloud, etc, and you can search through all of them using a single spotlight-like search bar. But the most exciting feature, imo, is that indexed files can also be analyzed for similarity. Whenever you create or download a new file, NeveMind can automatically create/modify folders (and their names) to accommodate for this potentially new type of content. Our ultimate goal is for our users not to have to search for anything, because "it just makes sense where things are". A self-organizing, cross-platform, file manager...?

For the Closed Beta, we plan to include integrations with Cloud Storage services (Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneCloud), with others coming soon (e.g., Notion). We will support widely used file formats (PDFs, PNGs, TXTs, ...), alongside less appreciated ones (MP3s and WAVs will be searchable too!).

Feel free to push back further, it will help us A TON. :D
Those of course aren't perfect proxies! We can add more factors to account for that. But it's a start.
What do you propose? Just wait until the existing systematic discrimination dissolves any day now? Do you belong to the privileged group?
When you've been gifted with a brain like his, I imagine the most interesting and intoxicating thing in life is to engage with your mind as much as you can.
NIMBYism is a national problem. It just takes different forms in different places.

For example, in most of the US, it is illegal to build anything other than single-family homes ("SFHs"). This is NIMBYism and intentionally exclusionary. If you have minimum lot sizes and can only build an SFH on it, you're creating an economic barrier to people living there, usually under the guise of preserving the "character" of that commu8nity.

Likewise, most places are completely car-dependent. This too is intentionally exclusionary.

Even in built up areas like Manhattan, a lot of units are bineg built but they're heavily weighted towards the ultra-luxury segment (>$3,000/sq ft). There were tax incentives to build this ultra-luxury property (ie J-51).

Pretty much every facet of US housing is designed to limit supply and be exclusionary at the policy level.
The US was ranked 27 on social mobility in 2020 which is great, but maybe not as high as US self-image would have you expect. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Social_Mobility_Index

I don’t see how #1 applies to Apple at all.

#2 is a problem with companies Apple contracts with. And Apple holds those suppliers to high standards, partly because of past attention.

The dirty little secret is everyone uses Foxcon and other companies like them. MS does (did?) for Xboxes. Other computer makers. Electronics device makers. Everyone. Very few companies have their own factories they run top-to-bottom.

But the headlines are pointed at Apple. That gets clicks. Do those other companies try to keep worker standards up the way Apple does? No one covers that, do they.

But Amazon owns the warehouses. Amazon sets their labor standards. Maybe there are subcontractors for the workers or divers. But it’s 100% Amazon’s control. Amazon didn’t contract everything out to a logistics company. Amazon IS the logistics company.

That’s a very big difference in my book.
Can DMD compile C projects directly similar to the Zig compiler?
Quick point: CRT have nothing to do with "white privilege". CRT is a subset of critical theory, which basically is a method of research in "humanities" (history, linguistics, archeology, probably others).

Critical theory is a postmodernist (postmarxist?) method, also used by rightwing researchers (Furet immediatly come to mind) to improve our knowledge of certain "facts" beyond the myths our ancestors built.

For example, we applied critical theory to old European cairns, and decided to do more analysis on squeletons we found in the 70s and 80. It appears that we misgendered some, and just because someone was buried with weapons did not mean it was always a man, it could also (in some, limited cases) be a female.

This discovery is actually aligned with the discovery of Celtic law texts (which are very rare, as Celts were mostly an oral culture, sadly).

CRT is basically the same thing, but applied with race. Its basically says "lets review this experiment/discovery from the 50, what could have been a bias of the researchers at the time".

In my opinion, this shouldn't have been separated from critical theory: CRT suffer the same syndrome most of the US does, and the focus on race hide the class issues. My pet theory is that liberals kinda liked the method, but disliked the fact that it was heavily inspired by historical materialism (and carries with it the idea of classism).
Taking a marxist global concept and applying it to a limited scope to avoid disturbing everything too much is basically what they did when they transformed the concept of "emancipation" into "empowerment" for feminism. Sure, short-term it works to keep everything still, at what price though.
And then there was (european) ISDN. That was peak voice.
People think it’s even remotely close to Fedora because it was initially communicated as an upstream, rolling distro (which Fedora isn’t, anyway, so …), and they never read any of the press or forum posts after day one.

Even if Stream had versions, it’s still only tracking about a minor release ahead of RHEL. If you trusted RHEL’s QE process before, there’s little reason to stop trusting it. I really don’t think much has changed in terms of usage outside of some infrequently used software, but you have to account for that when managing them on a RHEL system, too, so I still don’t really understand the problem.
If you live somewhere everyone else has Prime, you'll usually get free super saver items in two days or less as well. I don't pay for Prime but since the truck is on my street every day, my stuff gets dropped off quickly anyhow.
People could revolt and seize power from the American oligarchs, but they won't because there's a system that keeps them fighting against each other.

The idea is to identify divisive topics and keep talking about them over and over and over until people are upset fighting each other, but more importantly, distracted from the fact they could at any moment revolt and reform everything.
That to me sounds like something just got labeled with the wrong barcode or something.

Race is by definition self-reported, and is easily gamed, as recent high profile stories show. 1950s America everyone wanted to be white. 2020s America everyone wants to identify as something else. This should tell you how the incentives have inverted.

Class is also easy to game and hard to define.
And what is class - educational attainment, income, labor vs capital, all 3, 2 out of 3?

How do you conclusively determine educational attainment of parents beyond what they self-report, in an automated, accurate, low-cost way?

Income could be low for high status jobs like professors, journalists, non-profits, etc. Some of the highest status people you meet in blue cities have seemingly little income but high income.

Assets are self reported and hideable.

Is a plumber who didn't graduate high school but runs his own business making $90k in a LCOL area where homes cost $150k upper or lower class? What about a plumber working under someone else in a HCOL area making $120k but where homes cost $500k?
What's the point of playing this privilege game? You know where this ends? Comparing intelligence and other genetic traits and it intersects with eugenics, which as we all know is a great road to start on... Sometimes I really wonder if the privilege olympics people ever took the time to think through where their logical reasoning would lead to.

Ultimately we need to allow everyone to have a life with dignity while creating a system that rewards hard work. It'll never be perfect, and trying to play the "luck" / privilege game ends up in the biggest lottery of all, genetics.
