I would disagree. Voting out a person is mutually exclusive to changing laws and regulations. This is why the idea of voting someone out is supported by all parties. Looks like change yet does not require the change to take effect. New representation is not required to override the previous laws and actions.

Some states have binding resolution. This is where the anyone can go door to door asking for signatures. With enough signatures the resolution is placed on the ballot and the people can vote on. Passage forces representatives to change laws and requirements based on the wording of the resolution. Example would be Colorado requiring legalization of cannabis while overriding the elected politician that kept voting against the legislatively pushed legalization.

Most states have non-binding resolution. This means you can go door to door and get signatures to place on the ballots for the people to vote on. The outcome of the vote has no power and is just means to perform a mass survey.

Votes that pass binding resolutions are more equivocal to, "Representatives, you must do this". While non-binding resolutions are equivocal to, "Representatives, please please pretty please can you act upon our request, we beg of you".

I would say in order to actually have checks and balance, the people must be the fourth section of government that can enact change. Ability to vote on a single issue instead of only being able to vote on a single person.

In my opinion, having binding resolution reduces the need for protests and violence to enact change. And require politicians to work together versus being extremely polarized.
It's not privilege, millions of people have died defending the right to not be invaded by an asshole neighbor. Don't forget the price people have paid. Some places seem to be less interested in that, because they want to invade their neighbor, and we should be aggressively hostile to that very concept, and anyone who espouses the belief.

Then you have emscripten and now WebGPU

Gamedev's ecosystem is C++, wasm + C++ matured thanks to emscripten, you don't need to port or rewrite anything, when you need to port something, then you can leverage the already existing ecosystem, Rust plays nice with WASM but is too young

Another evidence is Photoshop https://web.dev/ps-on-the-web/

Also wgpu is a rust library, WebGPU is the proper name

But yeah, the language doesn't really matter with WASM, most of the popular languages target it nowadays, so it's a matter of what's your favorite one, and what ecosystem you can leverage to achieve the result you want..
RA makes me extremely nervous. I am never quite confident that I haven't made a simple mistake that opens me up to rogue RA advertisements.

From the article :
"On this view, the fact that a Jew discovered psychoanalysis didn’t mean it was a 'Jewish science,' any more than Einstein’s e = mc2 was a Jewish equation."

This is a strange statement to write because Einstein's relativity was indeed shrugged off as "Jewish Physics" by many antisemitic German physicists prior to WWII, in favour of German (or Aryan) Physics :

You're a smallholding farmer. The last couple of years crops have done well enough you've managed to pay down enough of your debt to the ag supply corp that you've got enough financial wiggle room to finance a new equipment purchase. Are you going to go with the incumbent player with four generations of history in the industry and a network of dealerships across the planet or Bay Area BushelMaster's new offering that's been on the market for 18 months, is advertised largely in Facebook Groups, who's sole dealership is a job trailer behind a carwash in Fresno? Hell, Mahindra makes more tractors than any other manufacturer on the planet and they're just now starting to make inroads into the 20 acre hobby farm, homestead, and landscaping market niches (hearafter referred to as the Bullshit Tractor Market or BTM for short). It'll be another 20 years before you start seeing fleets of Mahindra combines cruising the seas of wheat in the midwest, if ever that day comes.
Can't say for search (it seems like massive work indeed - or maybe you can actually build a decent and comprehensive search engine with few people but with a massive amount of money), but for the browser they really provide a browser UI (and I'd guess most of it is actually built by Google too). It requires work, but it's not massive like a browser.

There are many browsers out there, maintained by a few devs, sometimes in their free time.

Konqueror, Gnome Web, qutebrowser, WebPositive...

Whatever the SerinityOS is doing, reimplementing a browser engine from scratch for their browser Ladybird [1], is vastly more impressive.

Today, most people who are doing curation of Stack Overflow are not engaging with a question at all. They down vote and move on as any attempt to help is seen as rude... and just down voting and moving on is also seen by some as rude... and not doing anything and having a question get ignored is also seen as rude or frustrating.

As there are many fewer people answering questions compared to the rate of questions being asked the overall "is stack overflow rude or not" is a "yes." But engagement numbers are up as people keep asking them.

> Rewrite the C standard library in Rust? I'm not sure I understand how that even makes sense. Are there problems this would solve?

The C standard library isn't necessarily a standard library of C code, it's more of a standard library for C code. There's plenty of languages these days where the standard library is built in other languages, somewhere between partially and fully; some portion of the C standard library can probably benefit greatly from the memory lifetime structures of Rust; although the constant need to interface with C code may reduce the effectiveness.
Priority Pickup has done a lot to turn me off from Lyft. It seems like most of the time I try to use it, it takes so long to identify a driver that I didn't save any time off the original wait time. The UI is a total dark pattern to make it feel like you're getting a driver faster, too, which I really resent.

- App offers a 7 minute pickup time or a 3 minute "priority"

- Select priority, app pops up a "searching for drivers" screen with a loading bar

- as the loading bar gets closer to the end, it gets slower. The loading bar does not actually represent progress to completion in any meaningful way.

- the app begins throwing out bs "reticulating splines" explanations like "tidying up a few last minute details!" I hate that kind of teehee-cute fake message, there are no details to tidy up, you are just waiting for a driver close by enough to agree to my ride

- after a minute+ of this, tap "cancel" to call an uber instead, and get a popup pleading to wait just a few more seconds since this will happen any moment now

- after another minute or two, finally get a driver 3-5 minutes away.

Total elapsed time until lyft arrives: 6-7 minutes, for $5-10 more.

It's not just the unreliable functionality, but the way the energy invested into this part of the product appears to have gone into fooling you into thinking it is useful, not actually being useful. I'd rather just call an Uber that will actually arrive at the time the app predicts it will show up before I call it.
Engineer on the team here. Some of the interesting challenges of doing ChatGPT for circuit design were:

1) How to communicate the circuit connections to ChatGPT in the text prompt. We ended up just using the standard netlist format. Apparently it knows about netlists from its training data. It also knows about datasheets.

2) How to get the needed accuracy and precision for questions like "calculate the resistance needed between component A and B". For that, we adopted the popular langchain framework to integrate specific "tools" into the AI for specific recognizable problems.

> One of the claims about attention disorders IIRC is that it only affects thing people having to do things they don’t like.

AIUI, this is a very common but false belief; it is in part based on hyperfocus being a common feature of ADHD, but hyperfocus on something isn’t (though its often mistaken for) liking it. (It’s also probably based in part on “activities” that are themselves tolerant of lack of consistent focus and task switching.)
The demographics of this site are getting older (you can see a recent-ish poll on the site for some indication.) The same phenomenon was on Slashdot in the '00s writ large also. Lots of older disgruntled engineers who hated how the MPAA and RIAA controlled all of software, snooped everyone's packets, and how when they started in the industry in the '80s people took pride in shipping shrinkwrapped software. It's an interesting pathology but, like all pathologies, it becomes tiring on the site when people bring it up constantly.

Hype cycle topics seem to attract opinionated folks who have strong feelings on topics and have the need to shout them from the rooftops, whether that's doomer, booster, or luddite. That's what I find exhausting.

TSMC was never about being first, despite somehow they are now the leading edge Fab.

TSMC has always been conservative with feature set. GAA was supposed to be 3nm but ultimately pushed to 2nm. Same with Backside delivery.

TSMC is very clear about what their date does and means. Intel's 2024 ( and it is late 2024 ) will only be starting to producing and shipping to customer in 2025.

The volume difference between Intel's 20A and TSMC is also not comparable. This is a similar case with Samsung where they announce their latest nm but you dont see actual product shipping with it.

That being said I still think Intel would catch up by 2025. The question is whether they could find enough customers and volume.

I have said it before I think, that I am sure Stack Overflow absolutely can, if they want to, reduce the amount of low quality questions they get.

The Mozilla CEO is to blame for the chaos they caused around Firefox, and them losing market share to Chrome for the past 14 years.

Mozilla is so dysfunctional that the CEO is rewarded a massive bonus for running the company to the ground and laying off their employees.

They are not interested in competing against Chrome; instead they are chronically dependent on Google's money and on life support, making over 80% of their revenue despite the Mozilla CEO saying that they would not fully depend on Google's money. in the future. [0]

I hope Brave makes Firefox (and Mozilla) even more irrelevant.

I think the problems with politicisation of the judiciary and general venality in the US are due to the same dynamic that erases democracy in communist countries like the USSR and China. Hear me out.

In the USSR and China you do have democracy, but it’s voting for party lists of approved candidates. These people sit on committees that vote for the next rung up, and so in until you get to the top. The problem is too much democracy. But because it’s all run by committees in practice it’s all stitched up in back room deals with the leaders at the top directing the lower levels.

In the US it’s a different structure but the effect is similar. You don’t just have elected politicians, but ejected judges, elected sheriffs, prosecutors, electoral officials, even elected librarians. Plus direct voting on initiatives. Ordinary voters can’t possibly keep up with who is who, what their individual records are or what platforms all these people are standing on. so they just go with the party approved candidate. Parties also run campaigns for candidates, so in practice candidates owe their actual chance of getting elected not to the voters, but to the patronage of party machines.

This goes all the way to the Supreme Court. Liberal justices are the darlings of Democrats and are feted and celebrated. Conservative justices are the darlings of Republicans.

The problem is severe disconnection between voters and the people they are voting for.

Steel is bad as an electrical conductor as its much higher than copper internal resistance would waste a lot of power. I don't know if the military still use wired field telephones, but in case they do, the field phone wire is excellent. It won't sustain lots of current, but if you're OK with a few amps, then that cable is sturdy, water and oil resistant and it has both copper and steel core, the former working as good electrical conductors and the latter making it extremely hard to break. It's also very good for building low cost emergency long wire antennas, dipoles, etc.

I'm expecting that they will - and considering the raw power of their local hardware, I think they have the best shot of anyone at cornering the AI assistant market.

- private, on-device language model execution (see llama.cpp for feasibility)

- a single, consistent AI available with you wherever you go

- total access to your personal information / documents (knows your birthday, can see your meeting notes)

Because they have the hardware to run it locally, they have three very hard-to-beat advantages:

1) privacy, because the LMs can see all your stuff but none of it goes back to apple. Microsoft can't do this; they get flak every time they try and phone home with telemetry, and they don't control their platform enough to run a massive LM in the background.

2) omnipresence: if you're in the apple ecosystem, you'll always have your iphone with you. That means the LM will have access to location data, maps, chat - everything. And since it never leaves the phone, privacy-oriented people may be ok with it. And that means the LM can be exponentially more useful than just summarizing documents.

3) evaluation costs - they are the only competitor who will not have to pay for a massive datacenter, which means that the LMs can be as powerful as the M2+ hardware they sell. Everyone else will have no alternative to running the LMs on their centralized, expensive hardware.

This is how hard that industry is to disrupt: I needed a mid-sized utility tractor in the 40-60 hp range with a loader. I briefly visited the local Mahindra dealer, decided their offerings looked both expensive and flimsy, and then spent a month on FB marketplace until I found a 1974 Ford Industrial in good working order.
Interestingly this has been a card in their hands for more than a decade now, ever since the first ML race gun shot of CNNs came into play. It's only now that they can make use of it for extremely powerful models. I wonder if they actually will though.
> I would also say mentioning that you are Christian at a random tech company or tech conference is likely to be met with more wariness than mentioning you are Muslim/Hindu/Buddhist/other religion.

This is unsurprising to me. Most of those conferences (assuming you're talking about those which take place in American cities) will be attended primarily by people who grew up in a Christian culture (America). Many of such attendees who are atheists would still likely have been raised Christian and they're being wary of something they've rejected in the past. This is naturally compounded if it's true that "there are disproportionally far more athiests in the [US/Western] tech industry than in the general population."

Not to excuse or condemn, just explaining my perspective.
Oxidation is what makes LDL recognizable to scavenger receptors. It's immediately eliminated from the blood.

We can actually wash our hands of LDL discussion because we have a better marker for atherosclerosis: Apolipoprotein B.

Even though LDL is a proxy for Apo B (you basically can't have high LDL and low Apo B nor vice versa), it's better to focus on Apo B which is carried by lipoproteins like LDL and is more causally linked in CVD.

> If someone wanted to produce a competitor to Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, Uber and the like - their startups could never be cost competitive on iOS because they wouldn't operate at the same scale as competitors.

Netflix and Spotify haven’t allowed in app purchases for years and don’t give Apple any “cut”. Uber doesn’t use in app purchases. It gives you the option of using Apple Pay which charges standard credit card rates.

Again, if it’s only Apple, why wouldn’t all of these “innovations” be happening on Android.
Mosh is not at all like ssh, tries hard to avoid duplicating ssh functionality, and this is by design.

If it were like ssh the authors would have had to then handle security/authentication and all that jazz perfectly. It was written to "stand on the shoulders" of ssh, except handle terminal emulation and UTF-8 correctly. By using ssh, you don't have to trust "some new thing" as long as you trust ssh.

It's not even a shell protocol if you think about it!

Mosh bidirectionally synchronizes the state between the terminal window on the client and the virtual terminal on the server. It runs at a frame rate, which results in not filling intermediate network queues, which is where the low latency comes from. :)
