Are all textbooks and materials now electronic? Otherwise it’s going to be a bear schlepping books and notes around without a means to carry them. Even a laptop has a bit of bulk and weight that grows tiring in one’s hand.
This reactor seems similar in power and pricing to the GE-Hitachi BWRX-300. I don't think construction has begun anywhere yet, but the approval/planning processes are well underway for several projects.

TI's new line of MSPM0 50-cent (in bulk) or less chips are pretty interesting for Cortex M0+ cost-optimized projects.

Though IMO, the most interesting chips here are the Cortex-M22 or Cortex-M32 chips (from everybody). These chips have outstanding features at under 5mA of power usage, albeit more expensive than your typical M0+ chip.

M0+ like RP2040 is always about cost-optimization. But capabilities wise, there's all sorts of other processors that simply does more in smaller power envelopes.

Thinking things like Nordic Semiconductor's nRF5340.
OK, interesting. In NY we have a mandatory yearly safety check for all vehicles but also an emissions check for specific classes of vehicles (ie: gasoline cars/trucks >=2 years old, but diesel passenger cars and EVs are exempt). Mostly the emissions test consists of connecting the state software/hardware to the OBDII port and having the car tell if it should pass or not.
Or the mitigation of someone running unsigned code on your product using an embedded pi.

Stop some ways supply chain attacks can happen.

Probably some other use cases I've not considered too.
I do wonder what shopify's vision is now. I figured they wanted to be the next Tmall with merchant customized storefronts but on a unified stack including logistics. They have the best opportunity to take on Amazon since all the brands hate Amazon and there is a big desire to control presentation from the brands. Brands don't care about fulfillment except cost and shipping speed and most outsource it to a large 3PLs.
Careful, dividends yields are going up because the price is going down.
But that’s on different hardware than what they used.
Make sure that someone doesn't tamper with your device. No, it's not infallible. Yes, it's better than nothing.
I think you're right that most modern recursive decent parsers have separate lexers, but I think what you'll find in many older recursive descent parsers is that when it's clear which token type may come next, the parsers will often call a specialised function that will return or throw an error if it's not that specific type.

E.g. you might be calling a "getIdentifier()" function instead of a generic "getToken()".

In practical terms you sort-of have a lexer separation anyway - you will have a set of functions that each lexes one type of token. You just call them directly instead of letting a generic function discriminate between the token types.

But a generic separation works also for grammars where a scannerless approach is awkward. It's always possible; worst case you add support for backtracking and/or add helpers for more generic parses, but if you need to jump through hoops like that it quickly gets silly. And if you're first used to the separation there's little reason to write parsers in two different ways depending on the grammar.

Ultimately I think that's the reason why scannerless parsers are relatively rare.
Until you forget the combination.
Right, it's the "banality of evil" all over again.
Their pricing seems OK to me, the only issue I have is that you can't tell them just to shut it down if the bill goes past a certain limit.

Charity is only a moat if it’s not profitable.
It's cheap to distill models, and trivial to scrape existing models. Anything anyone does rapidly gets replicated for 1/500th the price.
Most of the C related cost of a new* compiler seems to come from declarations (they are a lot nastier to figure out than they look) and the preprocessor. The rest of the language doesn't seem to be that expensive to implement.

And then there is the other stuff: calling conventions, per-CPU code generator, general IR optimizations. This can be very cheap if we accept poor quality of the generated code.

---

Edit: I inserted the word 'new'.
It's more efficient, both in time (optimized character parsing, no repeated work if parser backtracks) and memory usage (store identifiers as an interned byte string instead of a tree of character tokens).

It also makes it easier for some tools to only use the lexer, which makes them more likely to work even if code is not syntactically correct or written for a newer language revision than the tool.
The dichotomy in your last point is constructed.

Something not being designed to do X does not mean it is designed to do Y.

The hackles raised here over "diversity" are, as you note, likely related to demographic considerations as opposed to say geographic considerations.

The argument is usually that the goal of government programs should be to accomplish a task as effectively and efficiently as possible. In the case of AI doing so is especially important in an era of rising geopolitical multipolarity. Sacrificing this for the sake of appeasing identity interest groups is short-sighted.

As we briefly explored, arguments that demographic diversity augment this efficacy have yet to meaningfully materialize, while concrete evidence to the contrary has both in the literature and in large-scale behavioral patterns (the neighborhood trust studies come to mind). It's one of, if not THE, most contentious area of sociology and public policy right now because of the obvious implications.

IMO that's why people latch onto it and why it's getting so much attention here. It's a hot button issue of grave importance that hasn't been solved yet and discussions around it are extremely painful and frequently stifled.
Is it "patently and demonstrably true"?

This article is 80% opinion and 20% descriptive statistics. There's no experimental, quasiexperimental, or qualitative research cited.

A systematic review from 2020 found that the evidence is mixed at best, and more research is needed: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02673843.2019.1...

Ultimately, we have responsibilities to ourselves and our loved ones. Reflect on your life, talk to your friends and family, and if you think introducing restrictions on your social media use would improve your/their wellbeing, then do so and see if it helps. Xx
So only people who have slick enough social skills to bullshit their way through that will get hired. The quiet unassuming engineer who spend their free time programming will get passed on and the extroverted engineer who spent their free time partying will get hired.
"People will not pay for a restricted model when free, unrestricted alternatives are comparable in quality. . ."

I'll take the opposite side of that bet - MSFT / Goog / etc in the providers side will drive record revenues on the back of closed / restricted models:

1 - Table stakes for buying software at enterprise level is permissions based management & standardized security / hardening.

2 - The corporate world is also the highest value spender of software

3 - Corp world will find the "proprietary trained models" on top of vanilla MSFT OpenAI or Goog Bard pitch absolutely irresistible - creates a great story about moats / compounding advantages etc. And the outcome is going to most likely be higher switching costs to leave MSFT for a new upstart etc
There are no such limits so it must be a coincidence!
To be fair they fixed in under 20 minutes
Hey - I'm the PM for our Code Review group. Sorry to see you're running in to that issue, it's been a real challenge for us. If you're running in to it pretty often, it'd be great if you could provide some details on what steps you're taking (maybe even record a video) to help us figure out what's going on. For lots of bugs, the hardest thing for us to do is reproduce them... so if you've got a reliable way to do that, it really helps us prioritize things to fix.
Virtually anybody else who they'd hire as a CEO would also have more than enough money to comfortably retire. Lutke has more reputation/passion/history/identity tied up in the company than anyone else would - where money isn't a driving factor, deep connection to the thing you're working on is probably the most important motivation.
This looks very fake to me. I might be wrong. Yet, there is no "document" that was leaked, the original source is some blog post. If there is a document, share the document. Shared by "anonymous individual on discord who granted permission for republication"... I don't know. If it was shared by anonymous, why ask for permission? Which discord server?
Ahh this is good. But what are ur-languages really? Can we tell when we have counted all of them? Is the collection determined more by the application domain (the problems we think are important to solve) or the architecture of Von Neumann type computing)? E.g. I don't know much about quantum computing but I suppose there is an ur-language associated with it.

Whenever I see a taxonomy I itch for some underlying logic that unifies them. If the explanatory scheme is successful then you might actually convert the taxonomy into a tree, where the root is some property that all of them ur-languages share etc.
Let me guess. zloty?
You live in a place that doesn't have initiative or referendum? And this poster can always just vote against legislators who have "protecting the children" as part of their platform.
What the CEO is saying is that he hired a load of people into the company that they don't need. Now they're going to try and get rid of them. Wouldn't the company have not been better off just... not hiring the useless people in the first place? And isn't it going to be a significant drain on resources and morale to pick through and get rid of all the dead weight? And are they actually going to get rid of the bad people, or as with most of these situations are they going to be left with the politicians whilst the good people go off to great opportunities elsewhere?

Businesses are path dependent, you can't just go "oh, not enough people hire more, oops! too many, fire some!".
Agreed. Seems like an excellent PR deal for Tesla but beyond that, it's just silly. I'm completely lost on how Las Vegas compared modern subway systems with an underground version of that amusement park ride where they put you in a car on a track and somehow decided to go with the latter.
Yes, with some qualifications. Below, with some edits, is what I originally wrote for the comment you replied to, before scratching it for being too wordy.

Some personally compelling reasons for myself as a guitarist:

1) With physical gear, I own the means of sound production. Less so for pedals that integrate closed computing elements into their circuits though, and even less if it has IOT crap (why??). Analog devices are generally best at this aspect.

2) Along those lines, longevity and repairability. Again this applies most strongly to analog pedals. I can keep using a well-designed pedal for decades, and keep it going with occasional repairs and maintenance. Digital modelers (including digital pedals to an extent), not so much, for a number of reasons.

3) In general, physical signal chain elements, particularly analog ones, strike me as more malleable as an end-user. I can do tweak the gain of individual stages, rework the inter-stage EQ and attenuation, etc. with a physical tube amp, and do similar things with analog pedals. Perhaps to a lesser extent with digital pedals too. I'm not aware of a modeling system with comparable flexibility, though I'd be interested in being proven wrong.

4) Some analog stuff, to my limited knowledge, is still difficult to model.
> Is this a "fat Americans" joke? If it were 1 or 2 foot wide I could see calling it narrow, but 3 feet is plenty wide.

The standard width for walkways per NFPA 130 is 3.75 ft, so 3 ft is definitely narrower than the US standard. (The European standard (SRT TSI) is 2.6 ft though.)
I have not, but if I remember correctly, it ended up being a physical problem (floor mats) and not a software problem?

Most vehicle ECUs are traditionally made with very simple C or assembly software that simply maps inputs to outputs via a lookup table... and the same basic ECU firmware is used for decades and shared by numerous car manufacturers (e.g. almost all cars use BOSCH fuel injection ECUs). If they have a complex algorithm or model to generate these tables, that code never goes on the ECU itself, to minimize the complexity and make it reliable and predictable.

So the car manufacturer doesn't even develop any code, they only produce a table of numbers for flashing into the ECU, eliminating the possibility of algorithm errors. Once you physically test in diverse conditions that hit every possible value in the lookup table, there is very little room for an unexpected problem to pop up later on. Recalls updating the ECU tables have been mostly to reduce emissions and improve performance, but the vehicle still works fine under all conditions without it.

One thing I find really fascinating, is that old fashioned diesel engines had a mechanical injector pump, which was basically a sort of simple mechanical computer that in some sense works the same as described above. All vehicles pretty much used the same pump, but each had different "lookup tables" physically machined into a steel block as a curved ramp.

I like the philosophy explained in this article, that mentions Dieter Rams thoughts on the Porsche 911 design:

https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/design-furniture/mi...

I don't buy the idea that this philosophy can't be applied to make safe and modern electric vehicles.
There's more to Colorado than "cities are liberal". The CO general assembly has big Dem majorities in the house and senate, along with a Dem Governor. This means they can legislate stuff which has voter impact but might not look sexy on the campaign trail. They can pass laws without having to worry about conservative/reactionary Republicans (or even blue dog Dems) saying no for no other reason than "just because".

They wouldn't have such a big statewide majority if it was just because of Denver. That case is more like PA, which has 2 big cities, and while it has a Dem governor, it has a republican majority in the state senate and no majority in the house. This microcosm of Capitol Hill leads to very little legislation being passed, even for stuff the voters want & stuff that would really benefit the state.

It's off topic because a proper discussion would need to go into details, let the other side respond, and give the community enough information to decide for itself what is fair. There isn't room for that in a job post thread.

Capitalism is untenable and I say that with frustration as someone who was able to do better after growing up lower-middle class (kinda poor).

AI is already displacing some people from their work. I hate both absolute capitalism and socialism/communism. How can AI help us find a sweet spot?
You make decisions subconsciously before your conscious mind is aware of it. It's been experimentally demonstrated and at least calls into question the perception of free will.

Each hemisphere of our brain is its own intelligence, but only one hemisphere (for 95% of humans the left hemisphere) controls speech. This only became apparent in some seizure patients during the 21st century when doctors might sever the corpus callosum (the information highway between the two hemisphere) creating "split-brain patients". Interesting content on YouTube if you look up split-brain experiments. What was most chilling to me was that when instructions were presented to the non-vocal hemisphere (by showing only one eye) and the patient followed the instructions they couldn't tell you the real reason why. They would come up with plausible-sounding nonsense the way ChatGPT hallucinates.

So if we've established that the subconscious mind makes decisions, and that our mind is really two intelligences with the mute one subject to the one that understands language. People can logically understand these statements and still act in experiments as if neither are true.

I didn't get into the question of sentience because what most people mean is sapience. Of course we can feel things and perceive them. Plants do that too. Intelligence derived from knowledge and wisdom is a higher bar and still we have plenty of examples in the animal kingdom. If you want to argue that we're sapient, you also have to make the point that we have two entities in our skull responsible for that sapience that disagree with one another, and the only thing giving us the illusion of unity is that we tend to think in linguistic terms and only half our hardware can translate what that actually means.
> What evidence do we have for this? How many times CEOs failed Alphabet level companies? What's your dataset?

Logic. It is clearly way more complicated to run a large business that operates across multiple regulatory regions and that is growing through a transition from hyper growth, than it is to do many many other types of work.
The problem isn’t capabilities, it’s having a market that’s saturated with supply twice over - once by the ability to make infinite copies of the product, the other where there’s an infinite supply of distinct high-quality products.

Subcultures used to provide a counterbalancing force here, but they aren’t doing so well these days.
ST80 does not really do the object controlled message dispatch that was there in earlier Smalltalks. Well, you can override Behavior>>#doesNotUnderstand: and do all sorts of cool tricks with that, but it is mostly meant as error-recovery path (which is partly apparent from the name), not as something that should be regularly used.

One weird aspect of Smalltalk that more or less directly comes from the control structures implemented as messages taking blocks is that on the language level there are two distinct function-like objects: methods and blocks (ie. lambdas) that behave differently and interact with each other (return statement is scoped to method and only valid during the dynamic extent of said method invocation).
You must be younger than me. When I was a kid, I saw plenty of ads on TV for tobacco and booze. No gambling, though.

Science is hard, and that's why science rarely gives black-and-white answers. This study is not the one final word on the matter. But that doesn't mean it's not still useful.

Science is done based on the evidence that is found, and this counts as some evidence. Does it answer every question? Of course not. Does it help improve our understanding of the occurrence of it? Yes.

Correlation is not causation, but where there's smoke, there's often a fire—as these findings continue to be validated (and there have been other studies that find similar links), it becomes more and more relevant to understand why there is such a correlation—to find a causal mechanism, if it exists, or to confirm that it's just spurious correlation.
Idk, but I remember the bogus argument that legalizing weed will reduce how many people use it by removing the "forbidden fruit" appeal.

Yeah, C compilers were ubiquitous, practically every platform had more than one of them. There were even third-party C compilers for the Mac almost from the beginning.

It didn't help that Pascal didn't have a usable standard, which is what led to articles like "Why Pascal is Not Brian Kernighan's favorite language", which also didn't help.

Edited to add: there was also some amount of antiestablishment fervor in the microcomputer community, and Pascal was for better or worse perceived as a somewhat ivory-tower language.

Can you give some examples of real world successes of this?

I used to feel similarly until I spent a bunch of time with nom [1].

There's not really any difference between tokens and grammar rules, in my experience. They're just terminal and non-terminal symbols yeah? Doing these things in one place doesn't get in the way of writing a nice LL recursive-descent parser.

I'm sure it will depend on what you're doing but for me at least splitting into lex and parse has a much higher bar now. I've done it both ways many times and at least for my applications adding a separate lexer has historically been the wrong abstraction in retrospect.

Our grandparents used to drink coffee from cups roughly 2dl in size, i.e. 6 oz -- which still is the official coffee cup definition. Nowadays, typical coffee cups are double that, and some people use triple-sized or even larger.

I guess the lesson is that we overindulge on everything we can unless we have considerable self-discipline. Bad thing about coffee is that we don't often recognize this habit as needing to be disciplined.
