Erlang/Elixir+BEAM is a tightly integrated ecosystem where the sensibilities of the language(s) and the sensibilities of the runtime mesh perfectly. Both language and runtime are highly opinionated, and their opinions are identical.

WASM is the opposite of opinionated. It was designed to be a compilation target for everything. Almost every language is working on supporting WASM, and that's exactly what WASM was intended for. Because Lunatic is built around WASM, it does support any language, because that's what WASM set out to do.

We learned about the fraud because of macroeconomic factors!

inflation -> rising interest rates -> crypto less attractive [0] -> people ask for their deposits back -> company can't meet obligations -> company folds -> scrutiny -> fraud revealed

Is my basic model of things.

[0] from https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2022/11/th...: "When interest rates are very low a dollar in the far future is worth almost as much as a dollar today. Thus, in a regime of low interest-rates, crypto and other projects with (speculative) long-run payoffs could be valued highly. As interest rates rose, however, long-run speculative returns began to look much less attractive than say T-bills and money flocked out of assets in the long-run sector causing prices to plummet."

As an older tech person myself I hate to say it but it won't matter because he's "special". I sincerely believe that people in a top role like that simply do not relate to the rest of us. They've lost the ability to do that. It's a rare person that reaches such levels of power and privilege and is still able to remain grounded in the reality that the people around them exist within.

No. The engineers were at Grumman and North American Rockwell. You'd have to check with them. That article refers to flight dynamics officers in one large room, not engineers. There were thousands and thousands more.

They were indeed younger then. People chain smoked, had heart attacks without modern bypass surgeries, generally had larger families and more kids to take care of.
It seems obvious to me that this is the way a company with a 70-80 hour work week operates. That demand is incompatible with any lifestyle that includes self care and family responsibilities.

Companies can gain a lot of efficiencies by bulldozing any inconveniences, rather than dealing with them. It may get them rich quick, but it also will get them on the front page of the newspaper for all the wrong reasons.

Uh huh. Sure Elon.
I'm so glad I turned down the job offer at Kraken. The reason I turned it down was because I felt that crypto was a bubble waiting to pop (back in March, but that's been my "wrong" opinion for the last 5 years or more.) The tech stack was nice, the pay was excellent, the product I would have been working on is comparable to Bloomberg Terminal, so it was pretty cool too. But I just thought the job might go away in the near future.
I don't think there's any evidence that they're inflammatory (great video about it here [1]), but obviously oils are almost 100% fat and therefore have a ton of calories. At the same time, some people feel incredibly satiated from eating fats, to the point where they might eat fewer total calories if they include some...

Generally, avoiding added high calorie fillers (that includes sugar and oils alike) is almost certainly a good idea if you're trying to lose weight though.

Apple IIc, BBC Micro, C64, Sinclair ZX-81. Arguably even the Apple I.

So the oldest prior art is from about 1976-1977 and it's Apple's invention. Apple put through a new patent to protect against patent trolls.

If the PTO will (incorrectly!) accept a new patent for this very, very old invention then Apple is vulnerable to nuisance lawsuits from trolls so they'd rather be holding the new ridiculous patent themselves.

They do with this every new product they're even considering developing.

> NRF2401

Impressive part. Definitely seems to handle a lot of simple use cases. 10mA transmit/receive is certainly good. But we're still far away from 0.075mA receive currents that the TFDU4101 promises.

That's 0.075mA while _active_ and 0.00001mA (0.01uA typical) when sleeping/shutdown.

> If you want compatibility with users' devices there is BT/BLE. It is probably the closest thing to the original IrDA use case.

Yeah, that's definitely dead. There's no more PDAs, laptops or even USB dongles for IrDA these days.

> If you want to securely talk to a device without USB port (maybe waterproof/dustproof) then optical link may be handy.. but don't use it all the time, use optical link to transmit wireless channel/key and then switch to wifi/bt/nrf2401 link

I think the optical "wake from sleep" signal, followed up by nrf2401 is probably best for most purposes, as you note.

---------

I'm not sure if "securely talk" is super relevant. Just "talk" is fine, because wireless is... well... wireless. Its about convenience. (I know IrDA nominally is "more secure" than Radio since its shorter range, but... like NFC there's still security concerns IMO).

But what if 10kB is all you need to transmit (~1 to 2 seconds of IrDA 115,200 baud, and just a fraction of a second if you implement 1Mbit, 4Mbit or 16Mbit IrDA), that's more than enough to dump an environmental sensor log (ex: ATTiny only has like 32kB of Flash storage, so your entire memory dump is only going to be 30ish kB. Smaller ATTiny4 has only 4kB).

Something like... those E-Reader price tags probably fits within 20kB or so (https://www.opticonusa.com/products/electronic-shelf-labels/... is 152x152 pixels monochrome, or ~20,000 pixels). So the entire image would in fact fit within a fraction-of-a-second IrDA (albeit 1Mbit IrDA, rather than the default 115.2kBit IrDA).

EDIT: Seems to be a part like: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/pervasive-display...

So if the infrared communication can "do it all", why even bother with a "Infrared to wakeup, then Radio to send/recv" kind of protocol? Just send the whole damn message over IrDA.

-----------

It seems like the sweet spot for IrDA / IR is for small (less than 50kB) messages with simple control schemes. From remote controls (just 8 bytes or so), to maybe log dumps (30kB), to simple images. That way, you're not actually having an "extended" infrared session. Its something that's done near instantly when you point-and-shoot the infrared signal to the thing.

IE: The IR-receiver just "never sleeps", at 0.075mA of current, its around the leakage current of some batteries, so there's no point making a sleep circuit. When it receives an IrDA message, you can have a quick session (Hey, are you X123152 device? Yeah I'm X123152 device. [insert cryptographic security here] Please send me your logs. Okay, here's a logdump: [30kB data dump at 1Mbit]. Hey, resend blocks #45, #99, #5555, those were in error. Okay, here's a resend: [resent blocks]. Etc. etc.).

At 1 megabaud or 4 megabaud, this all can be done in less than 10 milliseconds, in apparent instant speeds to a human.

As someone with a maths degree, yet who admittedly hasn't looked into category theory beyond some basic notions, I still don't quite understand why anyone would want to learn category theory before e.g. abstract algebra or even just fundamental mathematical reasoning (definition, theorem, proof).

Maybe I'm missing something but it seems to me that all you can study monads in programming languages without having to also learn the category theory abstraction of it. The same goes for semigroups, monoids, folds, functors, ...

I'm sure there's a benefit in category theory once you want to unify all these abstractions and talk about all of them together, but I see so many people who think they have to learn CT before they can understand monads in e.g. Haskell, and I don't really understand why.

Reminds me of an interview I had at a company that works closely with SpaceX and is staffed mostly by ex-SpaceX engineers:

To get ready for the interview I made myself familiar with the technologies they were using. In the interview I was asked basic questions about data structures and interviewers were clearly unimpressed with my answers. Then the manager involved asked a bunch of questions about ability to follow instructions. Giving them examples of me convincing coworkers to go along with management instructions they disagreed with failed to impress.

The whole situation seemed strange, out of place for the context, and even hostile. The position appeared interesting at first, but talking to the people involved it seems I dodged a bullet. Ageism may be involved, but there also seem to be some very strong but brittle beliefs about what tools and approaches work. All that combines with a readiness, even eagerness, to say no to applicants. Which was really strange in this case as I have decades of coding experience and seemed more familiar with the specific technologies being used than the existing team. Maybe that was part of the problem?
The problem is that they need to be beat for the right reasons.

Sadly, every big company mistreats people like this frequently. There is nothing unique about SpaceX or other Musk companies in this story. I have seen this happen all over the place. It’s awful that companies get away with it, but they do.

Those are great tools, but built for a different era. We've built Patterns with the goal of fostering an open ecosystem of components and solutions that interface with modern cloud infrastructure and the rest of the modern data stack, so folks can build on top of other's work.

An interesting question might be perhaps --- when is there a dereliction of duty?
