I don't think these chips include TPM. But if that's the case, wouldn't you object to that on the same grounds that you object to efuses?

Myself and at least one other commenter has mentioned a few legitimate uses.
We've got a Slack integration, and we're working on many more! Any in particular that would be most helpful to you?

> AOTs consistently do much more inlining & unrolling than JITs do.

Nonsense. What evidence do you have for this claim?

> JITs often have preset heuristics for figuring out where to split the code that's practical to implement rather than being the most performant possible. After all, the code needs to hot-swapped in without much disruption.

You seem to be talking about JITs without on-stack replacement. So not state of the art high performance JITs.
My approach to time management(Like anything else I do using a computer) is tech-first. I look for the patterns that are a natural fit to the readily available tools(Creating new tools isn't an option unless you like minimalist stuff or want a new major project).

So I use a to-do list in Google Keep, for things that don't have a particular time schedule, a future ideas list for even less urgent things, a shopping list in the same, and calendar reminders for things I need to do soon.

I have Google Assistant listening so I can always add something to a list without stopping what I'm doing.

It's not perfect, but unlike other organization systems I've tried, it's very low overhead.

I don't really need any more system than that, the tools I have don't support it. Going more structured would be more effort I could instead put towards actually doing stuff.

At work, I use whatever system is available. Usually nothing, because nobody wants to implement anything more than unstructured whiteboard notes and WhatsApp chats and pushing for that is hard. Pushing for other stuff like version control is more important at some places.

I no longer use Obsidian for anything like that, the friction of waiting for it to load was too much and made me not want to organize at all.

I still haven't figured out journalling. I don't want to do that in something tied to the cloud that might lose personal stuff if it vanishes, manual backups are a hassle, and obsidian is slow. Maybe creating a new app makes sense. Maybe even trying paper again would be reasonable.
>nobody can advertise a product without mentioning all the brands which offer same or similar product on the marke

Maybe 50 years ago that would have worked. Today, not so much. Go to Amazon and look, well, just about anything. What is BEHENO, what is DINGEE, what is Etoolia, what is Romedia, what are the over 300 different 6/7 letter companies that show up when I search up some random product.

Unfortunately your consideration causes its own parasite effect of countless companies forming up to feed of the big advertisers budget.
Do you have data to support this claim? It doesn't appear to play out like this in practice. Compare CA vs a state like NJ and home sales seem on par per capita.

founder of windmill.dev here, a fully open-source alternative to airplane.dev

Congrats on the launch.

I am not sure that is accurate. Both airplane and windmill supports defining your task as plain backend code and deploying them from CI/CD using our respective CLIs. The react part that we both support is if you want to build more advanced views that goes past the need of a single form. One difference between airplane and windmill is that airplane require a yaml configuration to define the inputs while windmill automatically infer them from the main function signature. What mechanism do you use yourself?
Rust and LLMs are very different domains... If you are writing systems software the choice is between Rust and C, not Rust and ChatGPT.

This comment gives me the impression of someone using Rust to follow a fad, not because it is something that is useful to them.
perhaps they are, even if in stock share price appreciation?
>support local policies that restrict housing development

You are absolutely correct that this is the problem. But the solution is not to disincentivize home ownership with a tax, it is to fix zoning itself. Homeowners will still have an incentive to restrict housing supply even with a tax.

However if you restricted the power of local zoning boards to tell people what they are allowed to build on their own land, then you would fix the housing crisis virtually overnight. There is a strong incentive for developers to build as densely as possible because they can make more money per acre, but the problem is that local zoning boards stop most development.

Why don't _all_ models of Gigabyte motherboard have firmware upgradable with a simple 'fwupdmgr update'?

https://fwupd.org/

Let the people who actaully know how to implement secure software repositories and tools for fetching content from them do their jobs. Motherboard manufacturers should stick to what _they're_ good at and just produce timely firmware updates throughout the life of the product.
The public has been swindled out of a decent education in exchange for some magic beans swimming in aspersive gravy.
This is helpful. Thanks!
> as the rising cost of living due to inflation in food and other essentials has driven more criminal activity

This is a big assumption. Do you have anything that backs this up? I'd be incredibly surprised if the FED jacked up interest rates, the Federal government cut expenditures or increased taxes to curb inflation we'd see a large fall in crime.
Really enjoying the feedback so far.

PS This wasn't meant to be an advice per se. That's why the list features "ing" most of the time :)
> Cities are struggling in the post-pandemic era as the rising cost of living due to inflation in food and other essentials has driven more criminal activity

Wouldn't it make more sense and be potentially more cost effective if the focus was on giving people food and other essentials so they could survive without having to steal scooters? Police and prison are super expensive. You're going to be paying for the food, lodging and industrial grade military complex vs food, lodging and maybe some green spaces and public works projects.

What I see in SF is not a direct acceptance of crime.

Instead the majority seem to believe that locking up criminals is not the best way to deal with crime. Instead there need to be social programs, community service, a focus on rehabilitation and reintegration into society rather than punishment.

The intentions are good but unfortunately these policies don't seem to be working. Criminals are quickly realizing there is very little repercussion for certain crimes.
To clarify, I'm asking about how the 'hardcoded state machine' functions at the beginning of boot-up, not of the overall SBE that is initialized later.
Not true at all. Everyone is not the same in great cities.
Here's the new textbook - https://ncert.nic.in/textbook.php?jesc1=0-13

It still teaches Mendelian genetics (chpt 8), but then entire book seems severely dumbed down compared to older NCERT textbooks I've read before when bored on India trips.

It might be because now you can't graduate high school in the 10th grade anymore in India - now you can only graduate at the 12th grade or transfer to a vocational college for 11th and 12th.
Photoshop developer asking: what examples can you give of 2D/static work that performs better in AE over Ps? I'm very curious about your workflow now...
I guess I'm a freak, I dropped 30~40 lbs and all it took was a permanent overhaul of my diet (keto/paleo) and committing to some exercise (close rings on apple watch most days). You know, discipline. About 4 years now...

People hate when I tell them the secret is proper diet and exercise, they just don't have the discipline.
> it's because people can't just fight what their body tells them they need for any significant amount of time.

Yes, the body is saying "nourish me" and they're feeding it food that is high-calorie and low-nutrient. So the body keeps asking "nourish me". And they feed it the same thing. We shouldn't be so quick to blame the body for the mind making poor decisions.

> It is incredibly difficult to lose weight for anything more than a year or two, and in fact very rarely happens

But why is that? Have they developed new better habits, or simply put the proven bad ones on hold? Is the whole family / household in on the effort, or is it usually one very obese person trying to change, while the obese and overweight under the same roof aren't making any effort (to change diet, exercise, and TV watching* routines).

The point is, we are known creatures of habit. We are also creatures known to conform to the surrounding norms. If the norms of the house are counter-productive then yes you're going to lose. If the norms once you leave the house (or turn on the TV) are against you, that doesn't help either (but it's a bit less impactful).

I understand it's a complicated social issue. But the biology and psychology / behavior aspects are fairly well known and documented. People don't want to believe that all that good tasting food is bad for them. They don't want to give up the idea that ice cream is for daily consumption (not limited to special occasions). Etc.

I agree. It's not easy. But the denial doesn't make it any easier.

* My parents loved to watching cooking shows, and their diet reflected it. I wish I had $20 for every time I said, "Food is for nutrition, not a pleasure center...Rachael Ray is not your friend."

I'd like to add that Oprah spent years pushing the idea of "love yourself" (regardless of how unhealthy that might be) now has a diet-friendly food line (a la Weight Watchers). And yet no one stops to say, wait didn't she help normalize this problem?
> they take control away from the actual owners of devices

Only if they're used that way. They don't take control away from the actual owners of the devices if its the owners who put them in there, for instance. Again, I think you're conflating the existence of a mechanism with the abuse of the mechanism. If you were just railing against the abusive uses, I'd be behind you 100%.

I just don't see why we should outlaw a common and useful mechanism entirely, rather than outlaw certain uses of that mechanism.
The thing is that nutrition education hasn't been proven to work for obese people. They do not educate themselves thin, no matter how much education they get. It's very clear to me something is going wrong at a greater population level. There's no education needed to think "nah I don't need dessert" or "yeah I'm done, I'll take these leftovers home". That's just listening to your body. Something has gone wrong where obese people's bodies aren't responding properly to food.
Did you mean duckduckgo? Lmao!
Essentially every model is wrong and will be continually replaced with an improved one. Classical mechanics was incredibly convincing. Don't fall into the fallacy that our era is the first to have it all solved. It isn't subjectivity, it is the objective philosphy of science and definition of scientific method. There was a time when your messages would be applied to argue that Earth is the centre of the universe and people were killed if they disagreed.

For evolution in particular, I am not religious at all and probably have as much 'faith' in the basics of it as any evolutionary biologist would, but there are massive questions still open, like abiogensis being completely unsolved

>If you have proof for a better explanation then that explanation becomes the accepted one.

There is no proof, there is only evidence. It simply takes some softer wording to say 'we observe x, so we conclude y' instead of proof and facts
It can be an issue in C#. I've seen some mad circular dependencies between files. The file hierarchy doesn't always reflect the namespace hierarchy which sometimes doesn't reflect the actual code dependencies hardly at all and untangling the messes that result from that can be a big deal.

I'm not sure a project gets into that state "real quick", but it remains something that projects can do over time, sometimes without realizing it, especially when a DI abstraction makes it even less obvious how circular a project's dependencies really are.
> I have literally never heard of national politicians in India being anti-science.

Not anti-science per se but Indian politicians are quite famous for pseudo-scientific nonsensical statements like Mr Modi claiming that advanced surgery existed thousands of years ago when doctors sewed an Elephant's head to a God's body[1] and then claiming presence of test tube babies in ancient times[3]

On the other hand, Union Health minister Dr Harsh Vardhan claimed that Vedas had knowledge beyond Theory of Relativity[3]

BJP, the ruling party has tried to indoctrinate a bunch of nonsense like Wright brothers did not invent the airplane, it was infact ancient Indians[4].

The minority you point out is an ever shrinking one.

I remember coming close to a decade ago when I'd be chastised for suggesting that SF is dumpy because there's human poop, bins overflowing with rotten food waste, large packs of rats, and junkies sniffing lines in broad daylight all over the place there, but today few here will deny this anymore.

I want to love SF, and I'm not just saying that. Yet, every time I visit, it's visibly worse and I often end up in some bizarre verbal altercation with a BART employee or resident of the streets. Los Angeles, the city where I live today, has its own issues, some of which dwarf that of SF, but not nearly as often do I arrive home at night with a story to tell. And somehow we manage to have less poop.
I think the pain that the python 2 to python 3 upgrade caused would discourage this.

All those people living on the street are not in tech. Nor are the people making the coffee and serving the food. Or sweeping the streets or cleaning the houses.

I think I understand what you were getting at by "there is no such thing as running out of entropy". Would you say there is such thing as "not having adequate entropy"?

Agreed. Going for the $$$ is a completely different and valid reason. But to say it's in the top 10 most fun and cultural cities is a giant reach.
What are you talking about? Prop 13 applies to every homeowner.
The AAP advocates for 60 minutes of physical activity daily. This is old news.

From 2020, "A new AAP clinical report aims to give clinicians guidance to help patients achieve physical activity levels for improved health...

...Strong evidence shows that physical activity improves body composition, decreases cardiovascular disease risk and is a preferred treatment for fatty liver disease and prediabetes. Additionally, research shows benefits in children with ADHD and depression.

When it comes to health promotion, regular physical activity assessment and counseling can help improve gross motor development and physical literacy, academic performance, sleep and behavior, while it reduces teen risk-taking behaviors and helps prevent obesity and other chronic diseases. The benefits and value of physical activity extend to all children, including those with special health care needs."

"Doing nothing" can have quite an impact on a company's bottom line. A walkout like this may be a precursor to a vote to unionize, which may be a precursor to a strike action, which may lead to collective bargaining that results in better working conditions. Doing nothing can accomplish something, and has done for centuries.
What's funny is that Reddit's pricing is indeed more reasonable than Twitter's, but it's still too high to be make cheap third party clients feasible.
Asking to change policy without changing the incentives that led to said policy is a fool's errand. You have to change what people are incentivized to do to actually change anything because people respond to incentives, not ideas. The way you fix zoning itself is by incentivizing people do to so.

Plus, that's not the only supply problem that comes from Prop 13. People don't want to ever sell their houses because that means their property tax will be reassessed when they move. That's another huge problem caused by Prop 13.
> But still, when you ask for "make up a family", the model should not interpret that as "pick the most likely family".

But that's literally what LLMs do.... You don't get a choice with this technology.
It's a big pain when trying to build things on top of the GPT-4 API. We had some experiments that were reliably, reproducibly achieving a goal, and then one day it suddenly stops working properly; then the student managed a different prompt that worked (again, reproducibly, with proper clean restarts from fresh context), and within a few days it broke.

I understand that there is a desire to tweak the model and improve it, and that's likely the way to go for the "consumer" chat application; however, both for science and business, there is a dire need to have an API that allows you to pin a specific version and always query the same old model instead of the latest/greatest one. Do we need to ask the LLM vendors to provide a "Long Term Support" release for their model API?
> What have you been reading?

It was a library book, so I don't remember the name or the author. But it was using the letters of Germans during WW2 to look at what the general German population felt about the war as it went on.

By the time that the regime starts opening up the extermination camps, it's pretty clear to the public that the goal is to kill all the Jews, even if this is being described with euphemisms. And from time to time, the officials would actually admit that they now have industrial-scale mass murdering camps, and the reaction is essentially "... they're saying the quiet parts out loud."

> Why were the death camps in Poland and not Germany?

Oh, that's an easy one. Most of the Jews were in Poland, and not Germany.
The easiest solutions won't be appreciated -- chain of trust from older professors/academics who co-author(or otherwise sign off that it's legit), metrics based on historical outputs from university+lab, and i'm sure some will start looking at names.
A better argument is "distributing the tax burden based on how long somebody's family has owned property in the same place has a large number of negative effects."

One (of many) serious problem(s) with Prop 13 is that it removes an important feedback mechanism whereby inflating property values result in higher taxes which gives even those who currently own property a financial incentive to support policies that keep housing prices in check. With that feedback mechanism removed, a property-owning homo economicus's rational move is to support policies that drive property values sky high (e.g. very restrictive residential zoning to limit competition while simultaneously seeking intense commercial growth to boost demand) at the expense of other members of the community (e.g. renters and future generations), and that's exactly what has happened in California over the last several decades.
I'm not sure I got what you meant here. Would you clarify on what exactly is the "error" and in whose ways? Genuinely curious.
It seems to be an unfortunate truth that private, for-profit prisons are the opposite of expensive.
Most people would probably lose a significant amount of weight just cutting out beverages with calories in them.

A step further is to cut out fast food, boxed food, or anything pre-made. You should be doing 90% of your shopping in the produce/meat/dairy sections of the grocery store. The vast majority of anything you buy in aisles is either bad for you or incredibly calorie dense.

Unfortunately nutrition doesn't seem to be taught in high school, and cooking at home is an optional course. Learning how to take care of your body and having the tools to be healthy if you choose is beneficial to everyone; much more useful in day to day life than almost anything you learn after grade 8.
Probably physical activity and a healthy diet, both of which they've been advocating for for decades. This is an odd comment.
You can buy devices that trigger an MOB signal over AIS when the wearer falls overboard. I have one for each member of my family when cruising on our boat. They deploy automatically when wet/the PFD inflates, and the specific message they emit triggers alarms on AIS receivers and marine radios:

https://www.acrartex.com/products/automatic-identification-s...

There's also cheaper devices based on Bluetooth. When the wearer falls off the signal range, the bluetooth base & the wearer's bluetooth beacon start beeping and flashing lights.

This is stuff that has good solutions for. However when you fall overboard, even if your location is known... recovering you is quite the challenge. It's a challenge on yachts which have much lower freeboard. Imagine in a giant cruise ship with hundreds of feet high boards, and momentum that requires 20min to stop the ship.
A lot of city residents need to come to terms with the fact that some of these progressive criminal justice reforms may need to be adjusted a bit, given that we now have years of evidence of their effects.

"The beatings shall continue until morale improves" isn't an effective approach to anything, especially since if the victims of such hostile policies actually rise to the occasion, they are typically not rewarded by having their lives work better.
