Amazing progress, especially for a single-person effort. X512's posts (linked from https://github.com/X547/Haiku-riscv) are well worth a read - can't wait to give it a try. The sources to the VisionFive 2 port are not uploaded so far.

Haiku already runs great on the HiFive Unmatched board, the VisionFive 2 version now makes it possible to run Haiku on a RISC V machine which sells below $100 (+display, keyboard, mouse, case). I would expect that the effort to port the OS to the Pine64 Star64 board (which uses the same SoC as the VisionFive 2, the JH7110) is relatively small, so there's another option to run Haiku soon.
The upside is bigger than the downside, even if it has no immediate effect.

There is no scheme that only gives good people access. We can and must hammer this home.
Software can still modify the bootloader. Secure Boot does not protect against that. It just will complain on the next boot .... unless the replacement bootloader has been signed with the MS signature, the BIOS manufacturer signature, the OEM signature, or a bazillion other signatures.

Even if you were to completely replace all of the signatures with your own, you are going to have to trust some of the MS/manufacturer ones (unless you replace all the manufacturer-signed firmware modules with your own).
This is just badly wrong and ignorant. Ask anyone who's actually studied the interglatial periods - in other words, the scientists who've provided the temperature information you're referring to - and they'll tell you why you're wrong.

> Absolute wealth (the kind that gets created) is kind of pointless to measure.

It's literally the other way around to me. I want to be better off than I'm now, not better of in relative term (which might mean I'll be worse off).

> you have $50K and all your neighbors have $100K, and then tomorrow you have $100K and all your neighbors have $1M, you and your neighbors created wealth but you are worse off.

You literally aren't if there is no inflation. You are worse off of your neighbors. If you want to be wealthy as them then ask yourself about how they are doing it and copy them. That's how the system grows. You don't go and punish people that are successful in producing wealth.

That wiki page buries what might be the rationale in the "What is UEFI Secure Boot?" section:

> Other Linux distros (Red Hat, Fedora, SUSE, Ubuntu, etc.) have had SB working for a while, but Debian was slow in getting this working. This meant that on many new computer systems, users had to first disable SB to be able to install and use Debian. The methods for doing this vary massively from one system to another, making this potentially quite difficult for users.

> Starting with Debian version 10 ("Buster"), Debian included working UEFI Secure Boot to make things easier.

Sounds plausible, but I don't know how seriously to take it, when that wiki page also includes very generous and regurgitated-sounding bits like:

> UEFI Secure Boot is not an attempt by Microsoft to lock Linux out of the PC market here; SB is a security measure to protect against malware during early system boot. Microsoft act as a Certification Authority (CA) for SB, and they will sign programs on behalf of other trusted organisations so that their programs will also run. There are certain identification requirements that organisations have to meet here, and code has to be audited for safety. But these are not too difficult to achieve.

I normally look to Debian to be relatively savvy about detecting and pushing back against questionable corporate maneuvers, but it's not perfectly on top of everything that goes on.
The models seem charmingly low-poly from the gifs.
I honestly don't understand why people act like this. Wanting to be able to ensure firmware isn't maliciously modified is a good thing. Open firmware is also a good idea obviously but there has to be a way to ensure firmware is signed either by OEM or your own keys like secure boot.

As for games, lots of people play games and want good anticheat. If you don't like that you don't have to play those games but no need to act like the way you are because other people want decent anticheat.
It takes a photo, and shows it to you. (My webcam has a physical cover.)
If your firmware and its UEFI modules were originally signed by these leaked signatures, what are you going to do? You can't just un-trust those.

In many BIOSes were you can apparently remove all keys and the firmware still loads its own builtin components, that's because the manufacturer has put a backdoor so that their own components can always be loaded irregardless of Secure Boot state. (Otherwise users would be able to brick their own machines). MSI, for example, does this. And guess what: with these leaked keys, now anyone can claim to be a "manufacturer's own component". Secure Boot is useless.
I'd recommend Sweethome3D to trace the floorplan and then you can export it as a .obj to a program like Twinmotion to do visualisation and lighting with pathtracing etc.

As a BeOS main-driver from the mid-1990s, I absolutely adore this.

BeOS was just a dream to use back in 1997-1999. The performance was absolutely spectacular (by the end I was running it on a dual PIII-450MHz, a very rare high-end configuration at the time) and the vision of a multithreaded OS that targeted multiprocessor (SMP) systems with the slogan “One Processor Per User Is Not Enough!” was truly visionary.

Perhaps that is lightandnotlight. We almost have notlight in English: unlit. An unlit room feels twilighty to me.

Left in Esperanto: maldekstra

I can’t imagine why a language designer would choose “mal” as the prefix for “not”. In English and Spanish (two common languages), mal has some bad connotations (malodour, malady, malfeasance, malo, malformed). Let’s try the opposite: “not left” is definitely something different from “right” - urrrgggh. “Do not go left” doesn’t mean to go right.

However it looks like Esperanto also has “liva”. Turnu liven tuj post la angulo ~= Turn left immediately after the corner.
> At least from my POV, it's completely meaningless unless literally everybody is included. So yes, I'd include children, the mentally-infirm, and definitely convicts.

I'm generally okay with criteria that are truly evenly instituted, such as age limits. I'm also okay with denying genuine transients the right to vote. These can become problematic at points, so I believe in limiting the limits. But you don't have to include literally everyone.

I would generally include convicts, and especially ex-felons, but I would never include anyone who has maliciously denied someone else the right to exercise the franchise (e.g. murderers, some kidnappers).
What is a macho file?
Someone has already pointed out that this attitude can be described as a “prescriptivist” attitude.

A prescriptivist will say that a term is “correct,” a descriptivist will say a term is “commonly accepted.”

Personally, this is what I say to prescriptivists: if they want a language with legally defined rules - they should learn French.

I don’t think the specific heat matters so much. The key is the boiling point is so high, the thermal flux will cool the system before pressurizing it. IIRC, thermal flux is proportional to the temperature differential.

There is no good digitally-native currency. On top of that, nobody really wants to handle the liability of these transactions. Payment processors take their cut, sure, but I'm 99% more likely to pay someone with Paypal than I am to put in my CC details to buy $COIN. Plus, past attempts to implement this were ruined by scroungers like Brave taking unknowing creators' likeness for their system and creating shadow wallets for uninterested parties (see Tom Scott's famous callout post).

Giving anyone too much power over the transaction makes it unattractive, but removing the liability framework makes it unusable. The window you're looking for (completely free, secure and effortless transactions happening entirely in USD) doesn't really exist with the current legal and financial frameworks.

I think this is not general enough. What would be needed is the Microsoft secure boot private key so we can just sign EFI binaries and have them work everywhere without mucking around in the bios setup.

Afaiu, this key is specific to certain generations of Intel CPUs.
If you look up the word “comprised” in multiple dictionaries they all define it including “consists of”, “composed of”, “made up of” etc. So right off the bat your argument is flawed. Perhaps you would like to define it the way you did, and perhaps some set of people you converse with may, but the point of a dictionary is so we can define words in ways we all agree on so we all understand each other.

As we have learned from Gödel, language is complete, but not consistent. Unlike math. So trying to argue about “comprise” using a more consistent logical framework of A, B, C, commutation, etc. is already a losing battle.

I could argue for a long time, having been both an English major, and a software engineer but the short of it is that words are tools.

Don’t use a hammer for a screw.

Sure you’re allowed to, and the language can evolve into everyone using a hammer on a screw, but the language losses something in the process.

There have always been, and always will be editors and people like the Wikipedia editor who help proscribe the usage of words to convey the correct and precise meaning to as many people as possible. The goal is to allow as many people as possible to have as precise an understanding of what is being communicated, with as much precision as is possible for something the must be complete but can’t be consistent. An example can be seen, even on this very page, of English learners, non-native speakers, thankful for what some call “pedantry”, so they can understand what is being said.

Without that, language can often become siloed, with the evolution of pidgins, and creoles etc, with the consequence that fewer and fewer people understand each other.

Imagine your grandmother trying to read and understand half of what is written on Twitter and TikTok.

For content that matters, and that includes Wikipedia, and published texts, editors who work for those publishers are the invisible people behind the scenes helping us all understand eachother.

You can scoff at “pseudo-intellectual twits”, but people often fail to realize that the world is often a better, richer place for intellectuals. The people who spend time on things most people find pedantic, often end up inventing things like transistors, understanding quantum physics, etc.

Software engineers often appreciate those types of results, but ignore or sweep away the results that lead to richer arts, language and cultural heritage.
Yes I understood the point of the singing part of the exams and tried my best (which wasn’t that good). Like you say, a broad base with specialities. I was empathising with how the cheaters must have felt - but I took another direction when faced with the feeling.

The chip design analogy was clumsy but the point was similar - not every student has the motivation to learn enough about the broad base and it’s value for ultimately improving your specialism.
> Decriptivism allows the language to evolve as fast as people wish to evolve it.

More importantly, taken to an extreme, descriptivism describes language in the way a map describes the territory. Any time a person speaks and is understood, no matter how badly, end-stage descriptivism has to allow their diction as syntactically and semantically valid in the language in which they spoke. The most you can say is that some expressions are rarer than others (you see "was done well" much more often than you see "was done good").

But this is also a wrong way of talking about language, just as much the old prescriptivist way was wrong. People are not static language replication machines, learning how to speak purely from imitation of their elders and community, and observed from on high by language anthropologists seeking to observe how they behave. They are concept-builders, rule-learners. They have a sense for not just how to speak in particular cases, but also what it is to speak well. It is this public sense of correct speech that is the subject of evolution over time, and is therefore also the proper target for descriptivist accounts of language.

Writing is similar to speech, but in writing most people are even more keyed to correctness, and less keyed to achieving the bare minimum of communication. Rules are stickier. We ought to understand this Wikipedia editor not as a noxious outsider to the evolution of language, who like the anthropologist inserts prescriptivist rules where they are unwanted, but as someone who is part of the normal evolution of language itself and therefore part of the terrain to be described! There have always been people who have been sticklers for particular rules.
Do you usually use GPT4 to translate from English, or was that just for the example in your comment? Because the translated output highlights the major problem of this learning-through-AI approach: The generated output can just simply be wrong, like it is here (both the Japanese and German).
I don't have pictures, but there are also some charging port embedded directly into the sidewalk around here.
It's a really neat division of labor. Subject matter experts provide the facts from a subject matter-focused viewpoint. Those are known to be rough around the edges, so editors make sure they fit together in a more or less cohesive picture of the world.

As with most human efforts, the emergence of a political layer is inevitable. But overall they seem to be doing a pretty good job keeping their shit together. Even though I have no way of knowing whether the information on Wikipedia is correct as a whole, at least it presents as self-consistent.

The only thing I did to promote čudan was spamming a lot on other Western textboards and a bit of other sites (like hackernews) and couple of textboard related IRC-channels.

>How does this "board" with only 3 threads get so many responses?

I wish I knew, too. I can only suppose people like the design (it appears that nice dark theme and responsive layout are kinda novelty for 2channel-style textboards in 2023).
I found [1] to be a pretty good summary of the key concepts that support the claim. The article, unfortunately, doesn't come right out and say it. But, it talks about how object shapes (a common JS object model) can be used as guards for inline caches (IC) to generate efficient machine code for property access. If you add a new property, you change the shape, which causes the cache guard to fail. That leads to deoptimization since the assumptions made about the call site when the code was compiled no longer hold. That call site is now either polymorphic or megamorphic, depending on the type of IC used and its level of polymorphism.

1. Craigslist is only used as an example. It could have been any other minimalist website. The post is not calling to imitate Craigslist because it is successful, it is calling to use minimal design (like Craigslist) for your MVP because if it has any real value-add, your users will love it anyway.

2. Like others have said, Craigslist's design is not user hostile.

Sure, the wear goes up exponentially with the weight (and axle loading). OTOH you need significantly more cars than buses to move people around. Investing in mixed-use development and better pedestrian infrastructure means that fewer people need to use mechanized transport.

Yeah it’s a clever hybrid but that doesn’t mean that it’s without its drawbacks. I’m not really trying to argue one way or the other, but I do think that there are tradeoffs between using a universally understood system for something this core to the product vs. a custom, albeit clever, solution.
