> What I'm saying is that, unless your EV range is so small that it can't get up the hill in the first place, hills shouldn't have a substantive impact on its range

While I have not driven some of the most recent EVs and have no doubt they are better, the above statement surely contradicts physical reality.

It takes more energy to go up a hill than to drive on flat ground, so it is inevitable that a trip uphill will drain available range far faster than driving on flat ground.

Given that these malicious images seem esoteric (only a few hundred downloads), is this even a threat? Most companies have private mirrors that protect against such attacks.
Well, depends- it’s actually fairly common in earlier ages. In the last thousand years or so a bit less, and last 100 basically not at all.
Have you replaced writing C code for ESP with writing Nim and compiling it to C instead?
I’d be interested in reading a retrospective of WSL1. The approach they took seemed really interesting, but I guess it didn’t pan out as they expected as they fell back to “running Linux in a VM” with WSL2 instead of syscall emulation

> As someone who's worked on a huge Python program (10M+ LOC)

Holy moly. I can't imagine working on a codebase like this in Python.

I maintain several small codebases (<10k LOC) at work. Even at this size, I definitely feel the lack of type safety -- specifically, at the boundaries of logical blocks of code. When refactoring, the lack of thorough type-checking means that I need to mentally propagate my changes throughout the codebase. This is exhausting!
Or ones who move their tail a lot.
The segmentation into attack vectors is interesting. But images from individuals on something like DockerHub have always been untrusted. I expected to read here about recent compromised official DockerHub library images.

I don't see how that threat is new or now more pressing than ever. How would you even count something like `docker pull vesnpsexga/joomla` as typosquatting vs. `docker pull joomla`? It's not even close.

Users should limit there container runtime/podman/docker access to docker.io/library or use a pull-thru caching feature of their own registry to bring in stuff from hand-selected places in public registries like docker.io or quay.io to environments behind the firewall.
I was really hoping Phideaux was in there.
We have some custom tools at my office that don't provide warnings or undo. It would be nice if they at least provided a warning when you hit delete with multiple items selected. When I asked the senior dev on the system about it he said, "Undo? Why would we have that?" (or words to that effect) "Just save more often and when you delete something you didn't mean to, close it and reopen it" (that part is near verbatim).

Undo systems can be annoying to create after the fact, but if you use a variation on the command pattern you can often get them "for free" (along with a lot of other useful capabilities). I wish that were more common.
They may have had a disclaimer, but they also presented it as a tool to help one summarize research. It was clearly unreliable there. And who cares if it has some good results? How do you know whether it's spitting nonsense* or accurate information?

Yes, I do think there is value in engaging with the community for models that aren't perfect. But it needs more work before it can be framed as useful tool for scientific research.

* I mean subtle nonsense. Space bears are easy to distinguish..but what if the errors aren't as 'crazy'?
> ... what I don't agree with is turning off working hardware with the only purpose being price.

Except, that already is what's happening. This changes nothing negatively. The issue Intel and AMD have is that it's too expensive to have multiple masks, so they end up only making one or two. This has the effect that, if a feature works, but they need more of the lower-tied SKUs, they fuse off the working parts. Your 4 core part might actually have 8 of the 12 cores work fine, but they were fused off to sell it cheaper. Whether you find that despicable or not doesn't change the fact that it already happens.

The only thing this changes is that the hardware lockouts (fuses) are now "software" lockouts. You can now pay to access those working features you already had.

Oscilloscope manufacturers have been doing this for years. Rather than stock 8+ different SKUs for a series, each with their own custom PCB, they stock two or three (based on supported channels). Then, everything is software locked. For example, Tektronix's new MSO4 series has bandwidth capability of 1.5 GHz in the hardware, but it'll cost you $27000 (for MSO44). They also have a 200 MHz model for $8420 (also MSO44). There's literally no hardware differences between the two; the bandwidth is entirely software limited. Afterwards, you can call and get a license key to unlock the higher bandwidth without buying a new scope.
RISC-V has a very strong value proposition that will carry it forward beyond what ARM or x86 can offer.

The only place you can buy ARM IP from is ARM but you can buy RISC-V IP from anyone. That means it's one company versus many, potentially a whole industry. If you buy ARM processor IP you are locked in to buying processor IP from one company. With RISC-V you can change vendors and have several compete for your business at any point.

ARM is already showing signs of being shut out of the future of the market. For instance Si-Five's X280 processor has found a rapidly expanding niche as a "companion processor" to custom AI hardware, something that isn't practical with ARM's narrow offerings or licensing model.

> And the most important reason: I just feel like it!
I have a background in research and academia.

> They will want to work with tools like Matlab or Python, when we typically work with languages like Rust.

I don't see them problem with this. Research is done, paper is published, engineers take the paper and implement. Standard operating procedure.

I will also note that there are A LOT of academics interested in compute that would love to work in languages that are more strongly typed than python. That said, they'd probably still mock things statistical things in python or R 'cause libraries.

> They also don't seem to have a big sense of the urgency needed at my small company.

If you can tie the work to prestige you can change that. For example, if there is a timeline for a paper to be published. I've seen a lot of research set to a cadence successfully. At times it felt like a product launch, 11th hour shenanigans included.
That point you make about syntax highlighting being slow while using eglot/LSP-mode is a great one. I've been a bit underwhelmed with eglot, and I think that must be the reason: it feels like I'm programming in a bowl of oatmeal with every keystroke.

Do you have any tips or guides for using treesitter for syntax highlighting/structural editing and eglot/LSP-mode for everything else?
On a plane I'd rather use the tablet in my lap than have to put the tray table down. And in a hotel room I'm watching on the couch if there is one. (I do also have an attachment for my tablet that will let you prop it up on a table but I mostly don't use it because it adds weight.)

For reading, I'm probably bringing my Kindle along if I don't bring my tablet.

We did that for my house for a while. It wasn't too expensive, just a couple million a month (after initial one-time costs like buying equipment and building the physical plant on a couple of neighboring acres). But in the end, factoring in plant maintenance and all the employees that it required, my family decided it would be more cost effective to just have weekly shipments of bottled gasses from a scientific supplier.
It is a very suspicious article. It is a psychology trying to provide justification for a myth that most people believe in any case, and there are no clever experiments to find what factor is at play. Is it tactile response at play or the limits of speed of handwriting?

Such reasoning is a subject to all kinds of biases and heuristics, and they are known to support folk myths instead of establishing the truth.

I personally believe that a laptop allow me to stick in a local minima of note taking: to write down every word while my mind wanders elsewhere it likes. It is all about my attention and concentration on what I'm trying to digest. My opinion is based on a sample size of 1 and my "sample" think all these thoughts and can purposely provide data that justifies my ideas, so I'd advise you to doubt them, but the point is they work for me. While I manage to immerse myself in the information processing it doesn't matter if I'm writing, typing, picking my nose of whatever else I'm doing at the time with my hands so they do not distract me from the information processing.
I think the slower, deliberate nature is the point here. The article does at least attempt to cite some research rather than just relying on anecdote.
also unfortunately, a "real koan" often relies on conflating expectations+conditioning versus direct experience, where direct experience is shown to invoke an "impossible" result; teaching that the conditioned, subjective mind does not see fundamental aspects of reality, though it thinks it has the answers.

These technical mimics of that structure echo a time when a lot of people, relatively, were experimenting with disregarding personal subjectivity in favor of direct experience and deeper Truth. In the modern tech versions, that is rarely if ever part of the story?
I want to slightly clarify the case of Tor: while many people historically thought that running an exit node on your own network (that you also actively used) might create ambiguity between your own activity and strangers' activity, this is not really considered correct or advisable. One reason is that a fairly naive local adversary monitoring your connection at only one location can still tell whether particular outbound clearnet connections do or don't correlate with inbound Tor traffic. That allows distinguishing activity by a local user from activity by a Tor user that's proxied through the exit node.

Tor nodes themselves also don't host any data.
I’ve been thinking about this more, and it’s occurred to me that there is an underlying assumption in It’s not he purpose of the loan industry… that corporations are required to make decisions amorally - which is don’t think is or should be the case. That may be an underlying schism in our argument.

> Do you believe it's right for a country to invade a neighbouring country in the 21st century?

I do not support wars. But you can't ask a question like that. It doesn't make sense.

War is a mechanism for dispute resolution. Yes, we, people, don't like such mechanisms. But such is the life. These mechanisms are used by the US all the time. The US shows the world that this mechanism can be used. So, the US can, but Russia can't? It doesn't even matter whether it's Russia or any other country.

In the case of Russian-Ukrainian war, the dispute that the war is trying to resolve comes from the expansion of NATO and military bases next to the Russian borders. No expansion -> no war.

> Do you believe it's right for a country to invade a neighbouring country in the 21st century?

It doesn't matter which century we are in. The society hasn't reached a state in which a fairly complex dispute can be resolved without a war. Right now there is no state in which war is an impossible option. To make it more clear, for example, we are in a state in which the humanity cannot travel with the speed of light. We are simply not there yet. When it comes to wars, we are in state in which a war is a possibility.

When Putin asked the US (early 2000s) why NATO is expanding, they just mumbled some bullshit in response. How can military bases across the world create peace? You can't create peace by throwing weapon around the world. There will always be someone who won't like it.

The US should've take Putin more seriously in the first place, but they kept belittling his requests to stop the expansion for 15+ years.
> Kid doesn't pirate Solidworks. Company makes $0, because it's impossible for them to buy it.

I have this impression that "poor kid" vs "incredibly expensive software" is used as a strawman here, since we're talking of $30 books that anyone who's not incredibly poor can buy just by saving for a couple of months and anyone who's that poor can probably access using a public library anyway, versus the enormous amount of people that could afford those books, but see no incentive paying since they can pirate them for free without even going out of their house.
To be clear, haven't read the article yet.

But I disagree that fondness for handwriting is a romantic notion. For me writing things down by hand engages a different part of my brain. It's similar to "rubber ducking" for me, meaning I have to think about the information in a different way. I don't get the same from typing, for whatever reason.

Literally, different strokes for different folks.
This is not true. The succession of Norway from the Swedish-Norway union was peaceful because Swedish soldiers didn't want to shoot on what they considered to be their own kind.
FWIW I am a (former) soldier and I don't think many would shoot their countrymen for "almost any" reason. I don't think it's the reality at all.
> It's too bad because you really do want leaders who listen to criticism carefully and don't immediately get defensive.

For sure. If this is how he treats outside experts, I can't imagine what it's like to work for him. Or rather, I can imagine it, and I think it does a lot to explain the release-and-panicked-rollback pattern.

I wish against 1.e4 it wouldn't always play 1...c5. Right now, it's less of a test of "what is your chess rating" and more of "how much sicilian theory do you know".

Its prediction was about 300 points low compared to actual lichess rating (1800). But online chess is very different; you see a lot of unsound openings that an engine wouldn't ever play.
The even worse version of this is dialogue windows suddenly popping into focus. You're writing an email and suddenly your whitespace ends up "yes"ing a file overwrite. Windows is rather bad at these; browsers seem to be better by keeping these dialogues local to the tabs at least.
I always found these statements interesting. Heritage follows a cultural lineage that doesn’t attach necessarily to political institutions. Much of Europe’s political structure post dates the US. The heritage of the US is extraordinarily rich and inherits the heritage of the entire planet as cultures have immigrated and integrated. We have very clear direct heritages to England, Ireland, Italy, Germany, France, China, India, Japan, Russia, Greece, to name a few. Every American city has a “town” for these cultures. Are they not our heritage? How can they possibly not be?

Japan has a very clear monoculture heritage for a very long time. But part of British heritage is Roman occupied England is it not? Germany shares a heritage with Prussia. Much of the world has some Mongolian heritage, don’t they? You can see the influence not just in genetics but in art and culture. How is that not their heritage?

If this is true, then perhaps the issue isn’t that America has no heritage, but that it is so comprehensive that it’s impossible to pin it down to something as distinct as a monoculture?

To flesh this out a little more:

A (good) radiologist is interpreting the images in light of the patient's history, symptoms, and other tests, with the goal of forming a diagnosis and treatment plan. This is rather different from taking an MxN array of pixels and trying to decide if it contains a tumor.

For example, about 10% of people have small gallstones. If an ultrasound incidentally detects some in a healthy, asymptomatic person, nothing happens. The exact same images, coming from a patient with a history of upper-right abdominal pain and jaundice, probably lead to a referral for surgery instead.

> Trillion dollar company can't be bothered to optimize their OS properly, or perhaps their workforce is not skilled enough

That’s what happens when you’re immune to typical market forces. Why invest money in things that give value to consumers when you can just exploit them? It’s not like the government is going to protect them, and the decades of anticompetitive behavior you’ve managed to get away with means that you don’t have any real competition left to worry about.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying, but idevicebackup2 does exactly that.

> It takes more energy to go up a hill than to drive on flat ground, so it is inevitable that a trip uphill will drain available range far faster than driving on flat ground.

Yes, but real world trips that involve hills tend to be somewhat balanced (round trips rather necessarily so) and it takes less energy to go down a hill than to drive on flat ground (and, while some of that advantage is wasted by excess speed from gravitational acceleration, regenerative braking can get a lot of that back, too.) So, the range impact on a trip with an uphill component will often not be substantive if you have enough energy to handle the uphill portion itself, if you have a car and driving pattern that uses things like regenerative braking efficiently.
I would assume so, but I think the fact that its using more of your brain is the reason it works.
Your point about many lines of notes is actually highlighting another benefit of writing: handwritten notes simply force you to choose which things are truly important because you cannot possibly record as much. This process also helps retention. I don’t actually look at most notes I take very often.

They care even more, they just use less snake oil these days, as the experimentation is much more precise than before.

The main focus for today's competitive players is not throughput, but motion-to-photon latency and its consistency (consistent frame times, constant input lag). Both improved greatly in recent years from thoughtful tweaks such as limiting your FPS to avoid GPU queue congestions, and due to software developers finally paying attention (NVidia and AMD introduced several low-latency tricks into their drivers, Microsoft also did lots of scheduling-related work). Hardware also got substantially better with latency.
Just because you don't like does not mean the arguments don't hold. If you liked doing it it would help.

WTF is a "shadow organization", can you please define that term you used?

Really, it just sounds like you have a problem with free speech and/or free association. If a group of people want to form an organization called Free Press (https://www.freepress.net/) and advocate for things they think are important, that's part of being in a free country.
