Where I am, engineers have a discipline which is their undergrad major (e.g., mechanical, electrical, civil) and a practice area which is on the job specialization within the discipline (e.g., HVAC, pressure vessels, pipelines).

Software engineering is a licensed branch of engineering in many places, so I don't think it's that different from other disciplines.

The full surveys are worth reading IMHO:

Part 1: https://knightfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Amer...
Part 2: https://knightfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Amer...

Some thoughts:

The first part of the survey focuses on the question: who pays for news? An executive overview of the opinions is: most (3 in 4) say that news organizations are first and foremost motivated by their own financial interests. However... well over half of people say that they will never pay for news (although this summary obscures a lot of details in the PDF).

So, there's a bit of a contradiction here. News is usually a business first and foremost (government sponsored news organizations being the main exception), and one would postulate that the less reader subscriptions are necessary, the more news will tilt towards satisfying commercial interests (or other sources of income) above all.

As far as trust is concerned, online news and US cable news fairs poorly. The former despite a growing amount of people preferring to get their news online; the later despite being the most used news source currently. "Big 3" network news and (surprisingly for me considering the network decay of local news towards low-quality national-generated junk I've seen over time) local news TV fares better.

Low trust in national news is linked to a negative outlook in democracy and other aspects of the political process.

One aspect of these types of reports that I always wonder about is how much of these actually reflect issues in interpreting news in its core. The current digital era generates tons of articles, much of which is useless noise. So sometimes, I feel that some complaints about media in reality are an inability to sort out critical information from the noise in media (both in news and everything else).

So, an interesting tidbit of this survey to me is this finding: "Americans with low emotional trust in national news are much more likely to find it difficult to sort out the facts in today’s information environment."

Is information overload a huge part of the trust problem? I suspect this is the case. A conclusion I postulate is that (as per the above) too much of the "news" is (to equivalate with food) low-nutrition "junk food" designed merely to stimulate clicks and maybe some base emotional response, but offering nothing insightful or valuable for the long term.

You just classified 46% of voting Americans as bad people, as if they have no other motive than to do evil. I didn’t like him either, but give me a break and try to let go of that media narrative. His supporters were just people. Both sides have outspoken nut jobs stealing the spotlight

It has gotten pretty bad. I drive a Subaru Crosstrek and I'm routinely blinded by larger SUVs and trucks headlights literally filling my cabin with light. I'll continue slowing down until they pass me.

Models other than networking already exist for the embedded space (some sorta analogous to what you propose, but not exactly thought about in those terms). They're the more common option than going all the way to a communication protocol as complex as ethernet.

But you eventually have to bridge between that and typical IP networking. It's usually the responsibility of the designer to bring their own hardware for the transition between (e.g.) SPI and twisted pair Ethernet. That's why this project to put it in the switch is novel.

Right, the "lots of false positives" conclusion is still the correct analysis.

Most cars are, but it’s generally not statewide and just focused on areas with high local pollution.

More to the point, it’s just an emissions test. It usually doesn’t test every car and (at least in the states I’ve done it) it’s just a computer checking that the cars computer is giving a normal report. There’s no safety inspection in most states and there’s no way to fail emissions for a safety issue if they did see something
> Telegram accounts of opposition were hacked by belarus police as well. It's known and documented.

These were cases when cops either were able to access the device, or were able to intercept sms messages. Notice that that did not happen to those belarus related channels whose admins left the country. For example an ongoing issue [1][2] with one of the admins who left the country, but his identity was found out and now cops are using his brother, who was still in the country, as a lever to make him delete the channel.

They can't delete/hack your channel unless you let them.

I am not in journalism per say however as I've spent a decade in advertising I work with media companies a lot.

Conspiracy theorists that push the idea there is some global cabal of people trying to control the narrative for their own enrichment / others detriment is simply false, and that narrative is damaging in a number of ways. Cynically most of these organizations are too dysfunctional to pull something like that off even if they wanted to.

There are however many internal and external pressures on organizations that shape narratives in a specific ways and journalists are human beings (they're biased based on their own experiences) so reporting always has a slant. That is worthy of critique and is healthy.

The debate on media generally has jumped the shark. IMHO it's not the answer that many folks (that tend to be conservative) want to hear, but meaningful diversity of opinion and experience would help balance this out. You want news with a working class, middle America viewpoint? Then you need to help some % of those people get into media. (This is just one such example of course).
If their worry is the differences between algorithms in libraries in different execution environments, shouldn't they either find a library they like that can be called from all such environments or if they can't find one or there is no single library that can be used in all environments then shouldn't they just write their own using their favorite algorithm? Why make all libraries do this the same way? Which one is undeniably correct?
For Google, yes I’m sure it would have been a risk. For Bing, any publicity, good or bad is good for their market share. Seems like a huge win for Microsoft. It can shop for rakes and self-generate its own hilarious PR submarines. Bet that waitlist grows and grows.

If you really think that this started with Trump, you must not have been paying attention before. The media (conservative media in particular) hounded Obama about some extraordinarily stupid things. Famously there was a significant controversy one time about the color of his suit [0]. I honestly can't remember whether Bush 43 got similar treatment. Maybe the prominence of clickbait/outrage journalism didn't come about until the end of his presidency? Or maybe the incidents have just faded from my memory.

This line of reasoning is why media has gotten away with being as deliberately dishonest as it is.
It was baffling to me when I was in Florida and rented a car. I was driving on the highways and no matter where I was, every highway was littered with abandoned cars. I had things fly off from a car into mine (splash shield). And then I realized its most likely because Florida has no safety inspections.

As a car enthusiast myself, I'm glad Mass has safety regulations and I don't have to jeopardize my safety or breathe pollution from cars rolling coal. Safety and car hobbies can go hand in hand.
Depends where you live, in most of the US yes, try that in Germany or France though

I recently moved back to Colorado, where for many decades it's commonplace for people to drive everywhere with their high beams always on, a point of significant frustration. With modern headlights and the new proliferation of lifted trucks (I was hoping I'd leave that behind in Texas, unfortunately not) with improper leveling, it has become nearly impossible to drive at night. I have several thoughts as to how to handle this, but the biggest issue is all of them are meaningless if it doesn't force retrofit or repair of all the vehicles currently on the road.

What we need is real safety inspections in this country that actually look at safety critical items, rather than either phoning it in or obsessively trying to gum up people who modify their cars safely (looking at you California). The types of shit I see these days on American roadways is appalling, and significantly different than how things were 20ish years ago. I now see cars regularly that are on unsafe tires, either for the conditions or the tires themselves being bald or aged out, I see cars driving on 4 spares, I see cars with hanging partially detached body pieces, I see cars with improperly aimed or installed head lights, I see cars with massively incorrect alignment, I see cars with /obvious/ failed wheel bearings or ball joints just waiting for their wheel to fly off.

All of this is a massively worse situation than it was just 20 years ago. I don't know if it is primarily economic, or if it's that people these days don't know fuck all about how cars work or even have any clue as to what types of things they should be aware of on their own vehicle for basic maintenance, or a combination of things. I just know the situation is massively massively worse, and it's terribly unsafe. The American roadway has become a death wish, and it wasn't this way in the past.

To a pathological degree, ICYMI. https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-super-bowl-joe-biden-...

"…Musk's cousin, James, sent an internal message on Slack to Twitter's engineers at 2:26AM on Monday morning concerning a "high urgency" situation. The emergency was that Biden's post performed better than Musk's. Around 80 Twitter engineers were brought in to work on the issue. By Monday afternoon, a fix was implemented to the algorithm that allowed Musk's tweets – and only Musk's tweets – to "bypass Twitter’s filters," which in turn "artificially boosted Musk’s tweets by a factor of 1,000," promoting Musk's content in everyone's feed."

Wait, what? They are economizing on headlight LED power draw? LEDs are ridiculously efficient to begin with, and a rounding error against a car’s total energy usage. (And in gas cars, get the energy from the battery, which can be recharged off of otherwise-wasted energy from the engine idling.)

I certainly learned over time what my triggers are. As I've gotten older, anything bad for my body ultimately makes me sick in some way. I have it bad enough now that I'm gonna get it for any reason, it's even become a problem that occurs when I haven't eaten after a while (12+ hr).

Luckily I don't like sweet tea or other full sugar drinks (you can pry diet coke from my dead hands). Hadn't heard about the ice thing though.

My biggest triggers are fatty foods, tomato, chocolate, and palm oil.
> In one small consolation, in both cases Americans had more trust in local news.

This trust in "local" news is often misplaced given how many local news outlets - television stations or newspapers - have been subsumed by larger interests.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, the Deadspin video of dozens of local news anchors reading the same editorial content handed down by Sinclair Broadcast Group is striking:

Aside from wifi chips, you haven't mentioned anything that Intel does that the person to whom you're responding hasn't mentioned. Support chips go with CPUs, and integrated video is also part of their CPUs.

What "enterprise" gear have they done, besides ethernet controllers?

I think the point stands - aside from some not very significant cases, Intel has been a one trick pony for ages. They haven't even been doing their one trick very well - both AMD and Apple have handed Intel their ass in the last several years.

Think of how many times Intel caught themselves out - they've taken too many shortcuts to try to one up and we've suffered as a result. Skylake bugs? All the variants of Spectre and Meltdown? 14 nm for countless years? Netburst? Atom CPUs that brick themselves after a while and require literal, physical replacement?

Intel's current products focus on benchmarks and marketing more than on actual performance - they throw hundreds of watts at a CPU to get faster immediate performance, but their CPUs can't maintain that for long. Sure, it might win a bit at games, but I wouldn't want an Intel for compiling.
While I agree that CO2 sensors are useful, they'll significantly add to the price. High CO2 levels in a home aren't a health risk unlike PM2.5 or VOCs though.
> Some numbers represent real things. Like my little kid saw a pair of oven mitts and said 'two gloves'. Like, he was seeing a literal manifestation of two-ness in front of him - which is different than the logical idea of 1+1 or the symbol 2.

Yes but even then you are using an abstraction. The two gloves forming a pair are a good exemple because they are not even actually identical: there is a left one and a right one. Yet, we can abstractly see them as a kind of glove.

MacPorts makes no effort to not look abandoned. It's very much 'the old way' of doing things from the look of the website to the terseness of the syntax. Before you take offense, I say this as a member of that generation.

These days if you have an ugly website, and opaque syntax, you're considered to be an abandoned project. Agree with it or not, your website sends a signal to the user and MacPort's signal says "it'll work till it doesn't and that's fine"

I also recently rented that MG SUV in the UK, although I didn't like how it drove. The steering wheel felt loose like it wasn't connected to the wheels enough (I know nothing about cars and can't describe this better). Agree the UI sucked. Couldn't figure out how to turn the radio off??!

Driving in the US at night SUCKS. No cats' eyes on the highways, poor lane markings, I might as well cross my fingers and close my eyes driving at night. And the bright headlights are beyond ridiculous.
Yeah, I was going to mention this. Indiana for example does not require any inspection except maybe for some sort of VIN inspection for cars titled outside of the state. And I think there might be one or two counties that have some sort of emissions inspection (out of 92 total counties).

I haven't really looked into this for other states, but I suspect we're not alone.

> (FPGA and ASIC tools allow you to sequester the open source block in its own "compilation unit" and compiling that unit separately from the main system, only connecting the wires at the last steps)

The whole "compilation unit" stuff kind of reminds of the whole debacle with Nvidia (and many other linux driver vendors) creating a "generic" closed source driver, and a thin, useless, open source "shim" layer that connected the closed source driver to the GPL symbols of the kernel.

Needless to say, nobody was amused by this. It never went to court, but the linux kernel put various technical restrictions in place to prevent those shims from working. See these notes from kernel 5.9[0].

Some of the Less/Sass maintainers are also active parts of the communities that write the specs and I guess when the idea of nesting was fresh to these preprocessors they didn't feel compelled to make it a core part of css with how widely the preprocessors were getting adopted. While I don't doubt our computers 10+ years ago could parse through nested styles it's probably really trivial now and thus being implemented into core.

As far as the speed of which things get implemented, I often feel there is a lack of understanding where design and development overlaps. Most devs are just devs in the sense they solve algorithmic/browser rendering problems, and don't really dabble enough with markup/styling languages like HTML and CSS to hit the pain points of using them. And the people that deal with markup/styling do not know the proper channels to rally behind some of the ideas that would make their lives easier. Unfortunately, there are less individuals that are proficient at markup, styling, and programming (not just in the sense of coding in JS/TS, but understanding the internals of the browser and programming for it), and the unicorns that do understand are often snatched up by Google/Microsoft/etc. which often have their own agendas. I feel there's just a lot more niche backdrop knowledge that is required to get the ball rolling. These are just my feelings on this matter, I could be wrong.
I think a lot of those physical things you suggested, like parkour and climbing, would be extremely risky because the last thing you'd want is to injure yourself in the middle of an Antarctic winter.
