> stealing in "shoplifting gangs"

This isn't petty theft. Petty theft is an individual shoplifting, for instance.

> That's a commie answer.

No, that's a capitalist answer. You're comically giving the communist answer, that a business is a collection of people, and that hurting it hurts them all.

Shoplifting is bad for society as a whole, but (usually) doesn't directly hurt individuals.

>> If the stock market dropped 90%, then went up 200%, would you be celebrating the 200%?
> Yes.

So you don't understand math...

> Less safe than last year, for a few years now. Yes, it's smaller than all past gains but why are we slipping backward at all?

Because that's normal. The decrease in crime over the past 50 years hasn't been continuous. It's been a more natural ebb and flow. I don't see a year or two of very slightly higher crime as a trend up.

> Unions were a good idea when workers were dying, a little light crying isn't an issue. Minimum wage increases produce inflation not real wealth. Social programs are what's destroying many cities - specifically Vancouver, Seattle, SF.

All of these cities have lower crime rates than republican lead cities. All of them have drastically lower violent crime rates.

> Free childcare is backwards compared to helping mothers work less in the first place and hurts the quality providers in the market.

What about single mothers? What about mothers in 2 income families, where they can't afford losing an income? What do you actually propose to make it easier for mothers to work less? Apparently higher wages aren't appropriate, and free school to help them get higher paying jobs isn't appropriate.

> Insurance that everyone has isn't insurance, it's a poorly run buying program - mandate open drug pricing and help small providers buy at scale to achieve savings.

Essentially every other country on earth proves this to be wrong. The US has the highest medical costs, and plenty of other countries have a life expectancy that keeps rising, while ours is falling.

> Help make the economy better so they can afford to. Safety for people and property is essential.

The US economy has been stronger than most countries for effectively my entire life, and that hasn't eliminated poverty or crime. Other countries have enacted good social programs and have virtually eliminated crime.
Firefox Narrator is what I need. Translator from rare languages would be great, but ML isn't quite there yet.
Everyone has a tale of ridiculous overpackaging. IE Thumb drive in shoplifter-proof plastic, wrapped in bubble wrap, in a double layered cardboard shoebox.

We have standards for transport. Shipping containers, pallets.
But not a widely used standard for packaging various things.

But then I guess it'd be subject to standards proliferation: https://xkcd.com/927/

You correctly classified 27 of 30 (90%) images!

You identified 14 of 14 (100%) AI-generated images.

You identified 13 of 16 (81%) human-made images.

Better than I thought. Got a few dupes though.
Lots of serious satellites use tape measures. They're made of high quality spring steel and reliable mechanisms for deployments.
I think the moral of the story is: there will always be bugs. Any application that will catastrophically fail if even a single user experiences a single security relavent bug is doomed to failure.

In many ways that is why the idea behind the bluray AACS system is briliant (as much as i detest DRM). Its based on the idea of instead of a master key, give each client a different key, which can be revoked (at least for new bluray disks) so that a breach can be mitigated.
This is Art because of the cunning use of ambiguity: by training on a subset she's framed the potential responses, and presenting as a conversation with her younger self the stage is set, all that is necessary for the idea to take flight is there. And it takes flight. This is how Art and whatever we're calling AI meet commercialism, and sell clicks. What she evokes is going to generate a little industry; just watch it unfold.

And how many people could actually afford to fly business? Economy class and price differentiating didn’t really start until after deregulation. For the occasional traveler, it’s much more attainable.

For the frequent traveler like me (see my other comment), I have the choice to get credit cards with airline I frequent that gives me airport lounge access, priority boarding, free checked bags, upgrades etc.

I get priority boarding class 4 out of 8 and free luggage with a $99 annual fee card with American.

While I do pay a $500 Annual Fee for a high end Amex Delta for lounge access, priority boarding, one free up to first class companion ticket, free bag check, etc.

But with lounge access to Delta lounges, Priority Pass lounges and Amex Centurion lounges with free alcohol, good with not drinking a few hours on the plane.
I know its fun and popular to trash on SGX (and Intel specifically) but one thing I feel is that, in the hardware world, we don't really have the tooling infrastructure nor methodologies to provide a lot of the guarantees we make for security features that we might for "normal" features, say, coherence protocols or exception handling.

I like to draw parallels with the '90s and all of the Pentium bugs. These events really really lit a fire under Intel's ass to get their crap working. Cue decades worth of research and $$$ into formal verif, EDA tooling, and perhaps most importantly, organizational ownership.

Software models, where many security paradigms have been explored decently, don't map too well or don't have a great solution, like fuzzing or linters. So it's kinda hard to provide various security guarantees if you don't have tooling to verify them. Plus, the tools that do exist require domain expertise from the engineer, so the thought to look for some MMIO exploit will never occur to a cache designer.

This kinda turned into a ramble, but ultimately, while I agree I wish Intel would do better, I can't fully fault them since I feel like the whole industry is ill-equipped to provide these security guarantees. Spectre has started some efforts, but it's slow to pickup, which is why it's rather patchwork-y still. Frankly, it kinda feels like the only thing that'll kick asses into gear is some lawsuits, F00F and FDIV style.

P.S. A couple questions--

1) Would you happen to have the "EGX" framework you wrote in Appendix A? That seems massively useful.

2) Can I just screenshot the rubber duck NFT? :)
It looks like some abuse of power. Pepe is as offensive as the ok-hand and thumbs-up emojis. All are used by people who align with far-right politics, and all are considered hate symbols by small groups while not recognized as such by most people.

But if we step back, we see another much more significant problem with Apple's efforts. They are trying to police communications between users of their products, even banning words on apps on their devices. It's easy to get distracted by the idea that Apple is the good guy just saving someone from being offended and forget that rich tech bros are deciding what the US should and shouldn't talk about.

What is more insidious is that they are so good at controlling how this is presented to their customers. If Apple said straight up - "some of the income we make from our sales goes into censoring certain conversations in the US," I'm sure not many people would be on board.

Finally, there is the entire topic of discussion related to ownership of our hardware. When we buy an iPhone, can we own it and use it as we please? Or must we submit to Apple's control of what software we can run on it? How much of the price we pay for such a product goes into anti-consumer practices like this? It's not just offensive things you can't run on an iPhone. There's a lot of software that's potentially life-saving that you can't. For example, many medical apps like custom continuous blood glucose sensor and closed-loop "artificial pancreas" software people with type one diabetes use (mostly on Android these days as getting that type of software on iOS is a tremendous hassle).

This whole thing feels like a proverbial boiling frog situation. Apple shareholders and executives move inch by inch, Pepe by Pepe, more and more into a position of authority for what is acceptable and what is not. Stories like banning Pepe make the news, but when they see people accepting this, they can deny a life-saving/improving app or two if their shareholders have a conflict of interest, let's say. No one would be okay with a tech company taking this action out of the blue, but when they create expectations that they are the authority on what we have on our phones and what we talk about, and people accept them as a de-facto authority, it's easy.

Well, you're in luck, the Advent of Code[1] starts tomorrow night. There's always an interesting challenge, and you get to see how other people solved the problems in the threads on Reddit, etc.

Some people like to challenge themselves to use it to learn a new language, or do a different language each night. Some people write COBOL, assembler, you name it, there's someone trying to use it to solve the problems.

>Think of a traumatic moment in your past, where you wish you could go back in time and comfort or offer yourself advice. Then imagine yourself stepping into the frame of your memory and giving your younger self the support you needed in that moment (but lacked). This might sound woo-woo, but the efficacy is documented.

This is how the Internal Family Systems psychology technique deals with past trauma and it has been around since the early 1980s. No AI required. To go that deep though, it helps to have a therapist trained in the technique to guide the process.
A very simple game could be Rock-Paper-Scissors if you can add a gyroscope or something to detect shaking and then show Rock, Paper or Scissor at random.

Do most people buy pizzas online from smaller stores on their own websites or one of the major delivery apps?

I suspect it would be the latter.
This is very cool. I think you'll have a hard time finding a traditional board game publisher willing to put money into this (there might be one or two out there, but most will see this as prohibitively expensive for them), but you might be able to pull off a successful Kickstarter for them on your own.

Kind of like the Blinks game system, these little hexes with colored lights in them that each have a separate game in them and can 'teach' the other hexes they connect to.

It's an interesting set of tradeoffs - vtubing has made it possible for people to be on-screen personalities who normally would not able to as easily because it can be very hard to overcome problems with your IRL appearance. That stuff really matters if you want to succeed on YouTube or Twitch. In comparison if you want to be a vtuber, there are relatively affordable ways to grab a stock model and customize it. You can also just commission a custom one from an artist and rigger - though I think the cost of that is sadly out of reach of an amateur it's not as high as you might assume.

If you stream without a face camera at all it generally hurts your ability to grow an audience, and unfortunately our society is still pretty focused on appearance so if you don't look great you're going to potentially get a lot of toxicity in your chat. A vtuber avatar acts as an equalizer in this sense and also lets people express their personality and aesthetics visually in a way that might not otherwise be easy - they can pick eye and hair colors they think represent them without having to use colored contacts or hair dyes, etc.

A few different people I know found that having a vtuber avatar made it much easier for them to get into streaming regularly and it did grow their audience, so I'm happy to see the technology catch on and improve.

> The actual source of non-constructibility is always the law of excluded middle

I gotta ask, are there alternative formulations of LEM that are still useful but cause fewer problems for constructibility?
It has its roots in old anti-semitic conspiracy theories, particularly beliefs about blood libel (that Jews would kill Christian children in diabolical rituals) and "Cultural Marxism" (a Nazi-born conspiracy theory that academia is filled with ranks of Jews conspiring to indoctrinate people into Marxist/Communist ideology, which feeds into general conspiracy theories about "the elites" plotting to change/take over the world in some nefarious way.)

Basically the modern version just has the serial numbers filed off and doesn't reference Jewish people directly, just "the elites" (note finance, entertainment and academia have long been considered "Jewish" domains for various reasons.) But if you did deeply enough, it's always there.
The Airbnb argument does not hold water. Would someone love to live for free in a vacant Airbnb? Yes. Almost everyone would. So let's then give everyone free housing forever, what are we, capitalist pigs?
A Bunch of young, mostly male, underpaid, low-authority folks abuse their customers? Shocker. I mean, sure, we should expect better, but being surprised by this is naive.

This is why I fix my own machines, and replace phones when they break.

> Authoritarian laws get passed because people want them.

I don't think I agree. Almost by definition authorianism doesn't acknowledge what people want. A law passed because people want it would be either democratic or populist, depending on whom you ask.

I think that the issue here is that all laws are authoritarian at some level, since the principle of a law is to impose. And indeed most citizens would probably support most laws. That doesn't really make the law "bad" or "good" per se, though.
“Now” appears in a huge number of these…

I'm sure there is a lot of care, but I also see a lot of people abusing the concept of care in order to troll.

I have had/seen this conversation over and over again on HN:

Commenter: This topic sucks, I wish people would stop posting it to HN.

Me: I understand this topic isn't interesting to you. Why don't you ignore it and click on something else?

Commenter: I care so deeply for this community, I hate to see this topic reduce it's SNR.

Does the commenter care about HN? Presumably. Does that make their complaint legitimate? No. They're bothered by how a subset of people on the site want to discuss some topic, and they're manufacturing a reason that sounds better than, "I don't want to see it."

But no one is entitled to have articles that are to their taste posted to HN. Sometimes this is expressed more like, "this isn't appropriate for the HN audience." But the audience of an HN post isn't what anyone imagines HN looks like, it's the subset of HN members who find that post in particular to be interesting and worthy of discussion.
Ooooh, I love this! Are the design file available somewhere?

Yes, plus even a mall usually has a few main anchors and then a bunch of little stores. So maybe "the mall only has 3 anchors"?

I've got the same mindset with a hardware project I worked on. I gave myself more free rein to just buy equipment and tools all in the name of "the project".

It is her performing talking to herself. She's as much "talking to herself" than if she had written and then performed a play about talking to herself. The computer/AI aspect of it is "just" a prop for the performance.

Engineering has pretty much always been the art and science of "good enough". Anyone can make a bridge with infinite resources, but an engineer is who can make a bridge just good enough to not fall down within budget and spec.

The challenge with software is the underlying "physics" of our world continue to get more powerful year over year (unlike real physics), so "good enough" ends up being sloppier and sloppier as time goes on, and for a lot of applications it doesn't matter.

Of course, until that day where it turns out it does matter. Good developers I think can anticipate some of those cases, and great developers can pick the few that they can sink the time into getting Right (tm) (c) 2022, to get the most bang for their (time) bucks.
Thanks!

I knew no Rust at all before starting. Yikes was it frustrating to learn a completely new language. I had to go through the whole rust book, not skipping any basics, in order to get there. I also assigned myself a homework assignment to get used to the concepts. See the other blog post on wyldcard.io/blog

Honestly, by the time I got to the finished prototype, I could have just done the whole thing with Javascript. Although intending to use an SDM32F7 for the finished project, it was really convenient to use a raspberry pi for development. Using VS Code, I could program remotely on the pi from my Mac and iterate really quickly.

the awesome-embedded-rust[1] repo was very helpful.

TBH, embedded rust really feels like it's not ready for hobbysists who aren't embedded experts already.

More like JS doesn't do anything to discourage writing slow code. Typescript should have been that tool IMO, but instead, it is so flexible that it doesn't do a thing to help developers understand that they are writing slow code.

Fwiw, having flown Delta within the last week for the first time in half a dozen years, via Expedia, I found out accidentally / after the fact that you no longer get "one free bag" if you are in their Delta Basic offering, where bags cost $30 per.

Twitter is heavily in debt. It's losing more money to interest than it has been earning, even before Elon shat on advertisers.

I don't expect Twitter to go bankrupt, but it will need desperate measures to stay afloat. When it'll come to "either we do this or we go bust", they won't stop at anything. It's likely going to be a massive sell-off of user privacy on a scale that will make people run to Facebook for safety.
