The problem is that the opposite of JIT can also "completely fall apart" with potentially even longer delays, plus loss of money.

One thing people don't generally know is that as developed in Japan it's a quality control system. If a jig at a supplier gets out of alignment and parts made with it are out of spec and not noticed until assembly, you're better off with a feedback loop measured in hours instead of months.

COVID and the silicon shortage ... I'm not even sure JIT has any relevance, one of the biggest problems in the US was car makers canceling orders when as you could easily predict from historical plague patterns the demand for cars would go up as people left cities. Demand for a whole bunch of things changed due to the secular changes in the economy like work from home, JIT's shorter feedback loop might even help with that.

But chips are indeed one thing that shouldn't be done in JIT style. They inherently take a long time to make and are relatively easy to test. Toyoda was said to have changed their inventory strategy for them after the disruptions of the earthquake and tsunami.

And then there are disruptions like a fire taking out a fab line, I remember this happening in Japan for embedded type chips. Unlikely any relevant inventory policy would save you from that especially if there's an increase in demand where stockpiling won't save you.

The industry can't even in theory surge old nodes for which the equipment is no longer manufactured. We hear a not uncommon pattern is that they'll just suddenly stop making chips forever because they can no longer fix a critical machine.
Then the Covid abusive and indiscriminate restrictions happened.

The freelancers and small businesses owners and workers were forced to shut down and isolate while the managerial class could remote work on their laptops near the pool side or in their chalet.

Who was the most targeted and impacted? Who benefited the most? Who enacted, supported and profited from the measures?

Really makes you think.
No, posting a flag of mass murderers is different from encouraging people to protest. I don’t care about the left/right politics, but since you may: bring consistent here also allows BLM to keep posting on Twitter despite people being shot by extremists.
Your point is taken, but to be pedantically correct, ARMv7-R has an optional DIV instruction.
In what way is this abuse?
I've hired Code Louisville [1] graduates across multiple roles now. This is a totally free program in Louisville, KY and does a great job of getting people setup for a new career. CL grads are all over the Louisville area doing amazing work.

Of course, all these programs are what you make of them. The best graduates are people that were really invested in learning and took advantage of the curriculum and mentors. For those that put in the work, they come out punching way above their years of experience.

> There is a reason that even the obsolete x87 floating point stack still runs a near optimal speed.

That's because SSE / AVX are faster than x87 floating point instructions. So modern CPUs just microcode-translate the x87 instructions into SSE / AVX micro-ops under the hood.
You're moving the goalposts. Your complaint was about healthy, able-bodied adults who don't want to work.

Btw, not that it matters, but I'm against student loan forgiveness.
Peanut and butter would take different handling if the peanuts start falling out if it.
Ha, AMD Am29000 had single-step MUL and DIV instructions, that is, they did a single addition/subtraction and shift; to actually divide two numbers you literally wrote a sequence of 32 identical (except of the very first/last one) MUL or DIV instructions: look at [0], sections "7.1.6. Integer multiplication" and "7.1.7. Integer division" on pp. 203–207.

That's the whole point of the map. It's using data reported by telcos.

They opened up the map so that individuals could challenge the coverage they're reportedly getting. My data was largely accurate other than SpaceX reporting coverage for addresses that are still waitlisted, so I challenged those.
I couldn't agree with this more. My small child received a compact camera as a gift. While it was a decent camera for a kid, she was very frustrated with how small the screen was and how non-intuitive it was to her compared to a smartphone. I too was very frustrated with it as it was slow, configuring the software on it was a massive pain and the process of quickly getting photos from the camera to a computer was laughable. So, what did I do? I put the camera on a shelf and bought my daughter an older smartphone. I proceeded to lock it down and remove everything I could with the exception of the camera and gallery app. My daughter is now happier than ever and taking non-stop pictures. She can also almost instantly see those pictures on a computer now too!
I'm pretty sure that x87 is not microcode emulated (at least the basic arithmetic ops). I'm sure they use the same FPUs as SSE of course.
Love HAProxy, the most reliable service in my homelab :)
Reading the article, ban is only proposed during energy crisis where personal transportation will also be severely curtailed. This is just Swiss level thinking ahead about something that could go very wrong, they aren’t proposing to ban EVs during the winter like the HN title above says.
While software is important, quality of software is usually not. There regularly are articles and comments on HN about how common software dev practices would not fly in real engineering.
The title should remove the word Biblical entirely.
Glad to see someone changing their mind on here. I also would like to say that I have tempered my excitement since yesterday too, as like in your other comment I've found some ways that it can be wrong, often in subtle ways.
> Should the smart pointer not be nulled after the object is destroyed?

I'm not sure what you are going for here.

The way this often happens is there is some module that owns an object with a unique_ptr and references to that object are used elsewhere. But the ownership of the object is complicated so a bug sneaks in where a non-owning reference to the object gets dereferenced after the unique_ptr is deleted. You can prevent this by having literally everything use shared_ptr for everything but that sucks for lots of reasons.
Great work! I just downloaded the app and was testing it out. I like the way the onboarding is down with a gentle suggestion of what to do first without locking the user out of parts of the app. I believe users should be able to explore as much as they want to decide if something is beyond their current comprehension.

One thing, when learning some of the hiragana, the sensitivity seems to be set pretty high on the precision of handwriting to get accepted. I must have tried え 10 times before just swiping down to get out of it because it would not accept the second stroke. I didn't have trouble with the others leading up to it though.
This would be a more reasonable critique if the Democrats had not been the minority party in the US Senate from 2012-2020. For the last 2 years they only have 51-50 tie breaking lead in the Senate which give a very slim margin to get anything done. I'm sure the Democrats could do more but it is a bit unfair to blame them for the actions/inactions of their (frequently more powerful) rivals.
> [...] Linux distrubutions is -O2, not -O3. this is justified by real world measurements [...]

No. It's because Linus fears -O3 for no reason. He even ordered the removal[1] of the -O3 Kconfig flag[0] (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3) because "-O3 has a *loong* history of generating worse code than -O2"[1], whatever that means.

From [2]:

> Other upstream kernel developers also criticized that higher optimization level over the default -O2 level due to the risks, particularly with older compilers and memories from times when -O3 tended to be more buggy.

In other words, because of bugs in previous versions that have been fixed, we won't use the feature.

Linus and Co. are sticking their heads in the ground regarding -O3. He says he needs evidence -O3 is good, but doesn't actually provide evidence beyond hearsay that it's bad.

Just because Linus says -O3 is bad doesn't mean he's right.

> But when you hang with them, you realize that when working full time you are missing out on psychological states and experiences that are taken from you by having a full time job.

In my experience, the "experiences" that single, underemployed people of working age (20s to 40s) have are largely watching shitloads of Netflix and YouTube.

After all, even if they aren't working a fulltime job, most of their friends are. And even if they find friends who are also underemployed, finances will be tight for both of them, so what exactly can they do together? Usually just hang out at each others' places and watch Netflix and YouTube.

Admittedly this could look a lot different for those with kids, though.
You might like The Photo Ark. The photos are all of animals in danger of extinction, and some have since gone extinct, but the populations of others have risen and not all of them are doomed yet.

All of the 13,000 photos taken so far can be viewed for free on the site. There are coffee table books available, and they’re high quality.

Show HN: I made an AI art thing for my mom
Watching all the new AI image tech that's coming out lately, I was messing around with creating pictures of myself in different art styles.

My mom saw that and said "I wonder how I would look in a Gustav Klimt"

So I made a site that painted her like Klimt, and also a dozen other artists.

I hope some art enthusiasts have fun with it, and would love to hear feedback.

Thanks!
I mean, I just take my kids with me shopping. Usually alone. They're twins and they're 3. These things aren't hard, people just don't want to do them.
Or, it's investing money in people with high expected ROI, such as, able-bodied adults. For it is the duty of a good shepherd to shear his sheep, not to skin them, right? (paraphrasing Tiberius)
They got rid, the story wnet, of a 3.5 mm headphone jack to make the phone slimmer. Only to have the alrwady slim optics stick out. Not sure tge same company would go for replaceable lenses.

As a programmer in a high-level language, you do not need to have your ear to the wire. Just because whatever network-communicable abstraction you use ends up serialized as a sequence of bytes, doesn't mean you should be thinking about byte sequences when communicating in a network.

>What is he proposing we do to prevent confusion between strings?

Don't use a paradigm where your code can see the strings. If your high-level language only manipulates resources, it can't confuse strings with each other. It also can't manipulate strings to try to access different resources.

Sure, at the low level, you'll still be doing communication via bytestrings. But you can keep the footprint of that "core" low-level component small and trustworthy, and let the high level work confidently.

An analogy is using a memory-safe language like Java vs C. Java still relies on fast-but-scary code like pointer arithmetic for fast execution, but Java programmers don't need to know about pointers and aren't constantly on the lookout for buffer overflows or other bugs that plague C programs. The guarantees of the JVM let Java programmers do more expressive and saner things, like "take all the even numbers in a list greater than 100".
Most common x86-64 instructions are 4 bytes already. The next most common instruction size used in many compiled 64-bit programs is 3 bytes, followed by 5 bytes.

I believe that AArch64 still uses 4-byte encodings for many instructions too, with a few that need 8 bytes.

"We believe privacy is a basic human right."
If I remember right (and this may be apocryphal), even Toyota didn't go all-in on JIT manufacturing when they were pioneering it -- they put up strict guidelines (eg: suppliers had to be with in a certain distance and have multi-modal transit links) to try to make the system resilient against known possible disruptions.
It’s authoritarian when leaders force media companies to carry their messages because it puts the imprimatur of the New York Times or CNN on government propaganda. But Twitter isn’t a “media company” it’s a platform for user generated content. It doesn’t purport to have its own viewpoint, or its own editorial stance. Nobody at Twitter purports to stand behind the content posted by users in the site. In that respect Twitter is much closer to say broadband providers than to media companies. Even most opponents of Net Neutrality didn’t argue it was a First Amendment violation to regulate the terms on which third party content was carried. (Maybe they weren’t creative enough.)

The question is whether the government can require a platform to host otherwise legal content on politically non-discriminatory terms. Put differently, it’s about whether platform owners can use their market power over what’s essentially infrastructure to distort the country’s political debate.

Insofar as many folks on the left believe that corporations don’t have free speech rights period, it’s not “basic 1st amendment stuff.” And even for folks who think Citizens United was correctly decided, a company producing a political movie in its own name is much closer to core political speech than the moderation decisions of a user-generated content platform.
SBF, Effective Altruism, and the Question of Complicity
> My concern is largely with the people who insist that we shouldn't even have the conversation about insulting messages because of free speech absolutism or whatever.

That's not where I would draw the line against free speech absolutism. Insults or rudeness from individuals should be permitted, insults from groups/coordinated campaigns is where I would draw that line because that starts crossing into inciting a mob. Mobs of any political persuasion are undesirable.

Uncoordinated-coordination seems like an emergent phenomenon of social media though, which is why this is a tough issue. It's almost like we need some kind of back pressure against virality to keep mobs in check.
I think a closer equivalent would be saying "marriage is between a man and a woman"
x87 is 80-bit floating point. They literally don't fit inside of 64-bit doubles of SSE.

The extra bits need to be emulated.

EDIT: And I'm sure there's some program out there that actually relies on those extra 16-bits of precision, and they'd be pissed if their least-significant bit had a fraction-of-a-bit more error per operation.
Let me pull an example I’ve had to deal with.

I have a disability and some of the accommodations are a regular schedule (no weekends/overtime/on call) and being able to take time off unpaid when I’m sick. This is the bare minimum I need to be able to do knowledge work.

I don’t mention this because some people don’t think I deserve special treatment just because I “claim” to have a disability. If I can take time off for “vacations” whenever I want, they should be able to as well.

If I didn’t have these accommodations, I wouldn’t be able to work. Any explanation of how being bipolar severely impacts every aspect of my life is met with “life is hard for everyone”. (Exact quote from my parents, btw.)

To put it quite simply, no one should be given anything I wasn’t given.

When it comes to taxes, they see it as the government taking what they earned and giving it to people who haven’t earned it.
>We need to do this less, not more.

Why? So you don't feel like a rube for working? Why don't you stop working, if that's the case, and cash in on this sweet sweet deal you allege these "healthy able-bodied adults" get?
I find college debt forgiveness to be backfilling an unequal burden we put on college students starting about a dozen years ago. During the great recession, many states needed to crank up tuition to cover gaps in their university budgets. Students at the time were given two options: pay even more out the nose for reduced services or drop out. Those who chose to stay had to build up even more debt than they would have piled up in the aughts. We as a country shifted the societal costs of educating our populace further onto the backs of the young. I often compare the state my friends who went to state school are still paying off their debt with the experience my older family had. My parents were both able to graduate from a state school with less than 5 figures of debt. My grandmother was able to pay her way through Berkeley with no debt by working at See's. Sometime around the late 90s we started to break this contact and by the teens, we had completely pulled the rug out from incoming college students. Despite having no college debt myself, I see college-debt forgiveness as a step back towards the society we used to be.
As a HMI guy myself, I would agree with you. :-)

In general, I think any engineering community that congregates around a particular set of issues is just trying their best to address their needs and build solutions to their problems, and it's important to respect those. Rather than being dismissive, exposure and cross-pollination is how we lift the boat together.
I asked ChatGPT the same and it said:

I'm sorry, but I am unable to fulfill your request for a biblical verse explaining how to remove a peanut butter sandwich from a VCR. As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I do not have the ability to create original content or make up new information. My function is to provide information and answer questions based on my training data, which consists of a vast amount of text data. Is there something else I may be able to help you with?
One of the fallacies I find most annoying is "people said this thing in the past, too" with the implication being that it wasn't true then, isn't true now, and can probably never be true. None of those things follow.

To be clear, I think the statement "nobody wants to work anymore" is incorrect. But that's irrelevant, I'm talking about the quality of the argument.
Nazis didn't take very kindly to homosexual or transgendered people either.
relative utility is a vice
Likely there's an for-profit electric company covering the city or possibly a city-owned company. Most electric coops are in rural areas, so when they do FTTH it'll only run to their members over existing poles.

A huge barrier to getting FTTH is ROW negotiations and pole attachment costs. Coops don't have an issue adding fiber to their own poles but things get crazy quickly when they leave their footprint.

It sucks to be in a city with no FTTH options while coop members two miles away have gig for a reasonable price. Coop fiber is awesome and I wish everyone had access to it.
Strategic silence gives you more degrees of freedom and allows you to advance your long-term goals.
Lots of comments are misunderstanding the point of the map and think it's supposed to be perfectly accurate.

No, that's not at all the point. The point is to allow individuals and businesses to challenge telecom self-attestations of coverage that are likely suspect. So if e.g SpaceX says you're currently served by Starlink but it turns out Starlink is refusing you on their site until the middle of next year, you can challenge the accuracy of Starlink's coverage map.

Starlink used as an example. You can challenge anything, but so far I've had to challenge Starlink at every address I'm responsible for.

Over time the map should be reliable, but for now, look for the Location Challenge and Availability Challenge links to see your options if you think a provider is misrepresenting coverage.
This is excellent insight. In a previous role, on the side I ran an SQL training for the customer success team, and that was fun and beneficial.

I remember everyone had a flashlight for around the house. You'd generally need one when changing incandescent light bulbs, which burnt out every 6 months or so. A lot of people would also carry around the pocket Maglights for whatever reason.
You can absolutely make reusable reactive logic in Svelte, custom stores work great for this.

Why wouldn't it be true? All the software that ate the world did so from a very small number of places. Outside those few focal points of software wealth, if an area isn't essentially preindustrial, whatever is happening there related to hardware will greatly outshine any local software endeavors.
50k per month is still 600k/year! The point remains that the population growth (which is known and anticipated) is not having utility growth to match.
Well to be clear, it's not "just because he says so." It's because Elon personally had an experience (the death of his child) that is salient enough for him to supersede free speech. This is very different from the personal experiences of other people regarding other contested topics/personalities primarily in that those are the experiences of people not named Elon.

In those cases, free speech wins open and close, very simple, and if you are upset about it it's because you're part of the cabal that's trying to take down Elon/Twitter/free speech.
I'm currently quite happy with my two remote gigs. Both are full-time, both employers are fully aware of the situation.

That said, where I currently live there's just not that much opportunity in-person / I'd vastly prefer train commute to driving.

Plan for now is to keep churning at current TC full remote as long as possible, re-evaluate when my lease is up for renewal. I was glad to leave New York in 2021, however it still undoubtedly has the best opportunities in tech for those of us who have no interest in relocating to the Bay Area.

edit - I can without question say I'm glad I avoided the FOMO of buying a home. I love where I live now, but if remote wanes to any significant extent I'd go out of my mind dealing with traffic.
