Other considerations aside, he says the robot is an entry for Pi Wars 2022.

The Pi Wars rules state:

"The core controller of the robot should be a Raspberry Pi. This includes all microcomputer models of the Pi (such as the Pi 3, Pi 4, Pi Zero, Compute Module) and also the Raspberry Pi Pico."

and

"Additional Microcontrollers, such as Arduinos, micro:bits etc may be used on the robot but the Raspberry Pi must be in overall control"

I’m much more a fan of the HP-48 series, now apparently the HP Prime is the successor.
What is the excuse of all people reading this thread in agreement and still using Chrome? As I mentioned elsewhere, this is preaching to the choir. A choir of Chrome users.

Google wouldn't be so dominant if tech people like us would stop making lazy excuses to continue its hegemony. In Dante's Divina Commedia, there is a circle of hell for those too lazy to take a stance [1]. If it were written today, it would include a lot of tech workers running Chrome with uBlock enabled.

It's 2023, Safari and Firefox have been very good for a while.

1: in fact, in the Divina Commedia the lazy ones that can't take a stance are kept just outside of Hell, as they are so detestable not even Satan itself would want them around.

Brilliant Light Power claim to have a prototype device that produces 250 kW of light energy (mostly UV light) that can be converted to electrical power at high efficiency using concentrator photovoltaics with light recycling. See https://brilliantlightpower.com/plasma-video/

This all based on their Grand Unified Theory of Classical Physics that solves the electron orbit in hydrogen as a spherical shell of charge spinning in all directions (orbitsphere) instead of the probabilistic solution of quantum mechanics.

Note that the Wikipedia article about them is policed by skeptics and has not been updated much in at least a decade despite their major progress.

If they are right, $300B worth of their Suncell tm devices can essentially power the world pollution free and solve global warming.

The science establishment continues to dismiss their claims as rubbish and has done no significant investigation or testing.

This is exactly why we need progressive asset taxes. Income tax should be almost abolished, it can be something like 10% on all types of income and then nobody needs to bother with tax evasions on that.

5-15% VAT or sales tax to generate revenue for the places where people congregate and do their business, the rest of society should be funded by asset taxes.

Insane internal bandwidth for the price (in theory you can sustain 4 x 32 bit memory transfers per cycle) and good for digital I/O. Its a < $1 chip with enough pins to be useful. If you already have a ESP32 or similar sized MCU it can be cheaper to add a RP2040 (booting of SPI or SWD) than a more specialised chip. While the PIO is sometimes dismissed as a NeoPixel accelerator it can be used to implement most serial and parallel busses with minimal CPU cycles and perfect timing.
"Web Components are slow. The last thing that’s held Web Components back is that they’re slow… slow, like brisket I like to say. Slow isn’t always a bad thing."

Yes it is, it is always a bad thing. It's not necessarily a dealbreaker, but it's never good or even neutral. I already have a mental model of the incredibly slow DOM, I don't need another dimension of performance cliffs to think about. Instead of more convoluted web standards, I want fewer, simpler and faster APIs - and may the best abstractions win.
there is a search, yes. but it's not working as good (and simple) as the search in VsCode...
Just an example... search for "Scrolling speed" and you won't get any result.
But if you click on "Mouse" in the left navigation you will find indeed a setting "Scrolling speed".
Same for "Lock Screen" > "Show message when locked".
Many settings will just not be found.
Other settings will be found but the search result label is weird.
For example if you search for "position" to change the "Dock position", you will indeed find "Dock settings" as a search result. But it's not "Dock position" so you could assume that there is no position setting existing. This is inconsistent to other search results, i.e. "Highlight colour" will produce a much better search result "Highlight colour - Appearance".
The RISC projects began flying even back when the VAX 8000 was rolling out --in other words, the later VAXes were not seen as final solutions, but pretty much to keep revenue flowing from incredible demand while they were methodically engineering what would eventually be Alpha. The big internal debate at that time was whether to maintain software compatibility between VAX (which had finally shrunk onto the 78032 chips) and PRISM using hardware or software. Ultimately, the decision was made to break compatibility and build ISA binary translators into the operating system (renamed "Open"VMS).

What didKill DEC was the blue blood Board, which had FOMO due to the rise of Microsoft (which, at that time, was still running on the anemic 286/386/486 chips, but still killing it due to NetWare and NETBIOS) which was being led by "one of their own" (sort'a --the estranged son of Rockafeller's lawyer) after having gotten started with just $100K (a kiss goodbye gift after he had dropped out of college?) The little misstep with DEC's first generation of PCs, which were Ken's personal babies, caused him to lose the support of the "desperate" Board and, well, you saw what they did...and One Thing Lead to Another...until:

The difference is that currently you can lie. You can identify the fingerprinting techniques being used, and work around them. yt-dlp already does something like this, for example. In Android, there was a lot of support for making your rooted / custom ROM system look like stock Android so you could still do banking. Now, depending on the level of Safetynet the app is using, you literally can't. I'm not arguing in favour of fingerprinting, just pointing out that prior to TPM-backed attestation you had control over your own device.

With Android Safetynet attestation, you can't work around the problem because the attestation is backed by a root of trust which your custom ROM can't provide. Being able to supply your own thing doesn't matter, because everyone will just support the one that Google supplies. LineageOS is a good example of this; they have their own Safetynet implementation which has very little buy-in.

WEI is effectively an extension of Safetynet to the Web.

In summary, this is fundamentally different because it takes away your control of your own device.

I'd certainly use the handheld calc in other scenarios though where the computer is not available.
> What difference do you see between a browser and an OS? A browser is an OS. They perform the same role. A context to run whatever 3rd party software.

This is where everything has gone screwy. A browser should only be rendering and displaying html files. Browsers should be minuscule in size, and /definitely/ not run any 3rd party software.

> Python is the de facto glue language with one of the biggest ecosystems out there

I never contested that.

> ML is very specifically about manipulating data (a fundamentally dynamic task)

I disagree strongly with using dynamic languages for data. Data has dimensions, units, types. You need to know that you're not adding coats to horses or USD to EUR. You need to know that you didn't silently sliced by the wrong axis.
You may want formal verifications. You may to transform data without worrying about silent errors.

All the "metadata" and wrapper classes ML in Python are just trying to give you what the language can't.

> a very glue-task. Give me any language better than python for that

That's my point exactly. ML has evolved beyond glueing a few C libraries. It needs complex, big programs, which is an area where Python is terrible. Also the different nature of the "glued" components (each with its own data formats, protocols and calling conventions) makes the glue a mish-mash of untyped mixed magic idioms.

By "system generated content" I meant content which is not derived from potentially unsafe user input. For example, if your front end receives a JSON object from your own back end which was generated by your back end and contains numbers, booleans and enums (from a constrained set of strings) and it is properly validated before insertion into your DB, such data poses no risk to your front end in terms of XSS. That said, if you want to make your system fool-proof and future-proof, you could escape HTML tags in all your string data before incorporating it into a components' template string as a principle; such function is trivial to implement.

The main risk of XSS is when you inject some unescaped user-generated string into a template and then set that whole template as your component's innerHTML... All I want to point out is that not every piece of data is a custom user-generated string. Numbers, booleans don't need to be escaped. Error messages generated by your system don't need to be escaped either. Enum strings (which are validated at insertion in the DB) also don't really need to be escaped but I would probably escape anyway in case of future developer mistake (improper validation).

I agree that the automatic sanitization which React does is probably not a huge performance cost for the typical app (it's probably worth the cost in the vast majority cases) but it depends on how much data your front end is rendering and how often it re-renders (e.g. real time games use case).

I dont think its stupid advice to ask people to choose their tools based on their needs.

If you need 15 year support you choose software that will provide that and not something that does not promise that.

No, I think it’s awful that the state will kill people that are not terminally ill. These aren’t the “strict circumstances” you justified this with initially. Now it’s a “personal freedom” thing? And the state should assist in this? Killing someone’s who is sad isn’t a mercy killing like your mother had. It’s active promotion of suicide.

Ridiculous. And still disgusting and barbaric.
I would say that you don't absolutely need a service like urlscan.io to look at a single suspicious URL, but running a URL through our sandbox will create a point of time snapshot that you can share with others, compare to existing scans and use as evidence for further actions like takedown.

I agree that chatting and speaking requires different skill set. However I would argue that it is even more of an argument to not use speech recognition here (or at least not to force it), because chatGPT is chatting and learner is speaking. Transcription will always lose some information (for example your tone can indicate sarcasm, but chatGPT can't detect it).

To the second point: whisper can be helpful, but how can you know if it fails because of you and not the software's error? I spoke in my native language with traditional accent and it still made mistakes, also it hallucinates. Additionally being understood by whisper doesn't mean, native will understand you.

But it's not the user ("you") deciding which attesters to trust - it's website operators. And they will choose to trust only attesters that meaningfully (cryptographically) verify the user's client environment, including the secure boot chain, OS, and browser. Otherwise the attestation can be spoofed, in why case why would they bother using the EnvironmentIntegrity API at all?

Out the box the squashed tabs vs the silly tab scroll thing on Firefox is horrible. But it reminds me I have too many tabs open anyway. I mainly use FF, but the UI really is behind the times. Notice MS marketing stuff like chatGPT in their browser. They are tooling it up. I want my browser to help me. The tab/workflow/history/sandboxing, I feel could all be a bit more ingrained in the desktop OS/UI.

Google is the plugin on Chrome. If you unwittingly walk blindfold into using it on say Android etc. You'll have all that Google stuff activated, and it's a real boon. Difficult to give up. Heck hard enough to sign out. You unknowingly can sign in.

Yeah there are different options, and yeah there are extensions. But why would I install an extension that basically says it can spy on every tab in my browser? And why would I even trust Google in my browser?
WebUSB is pretty useful though, I know people who've used it to control all sorts of devices in an easily accessible way.

Google themselves use it for updating Android devices, via making an ADB connection from their update webpage.

I don't see how it could be classified as hostile, as it's adding a feature rather than taking features away.

If your benchmark is number of stars on Github, then yes, things might get depressing when "JS toy framework number 45" easily gathers hundreds of stars.

But, personally, I have half a dozen reasonably polished projects on less trendy topics. While not huge, I know they were useful to other people. Some are packaged in linux distributions, others I've got requests for improvements, or were used as cross-reference for concurrent implementations, or were forked and continued a life of their own.

It's not huge, but by spending ~30% more time on things like documentation, tests, proper build system, a post here or on Reddit, I've enabled these projects to be more than an unapproachable pile of code.

And if it saves even one person the effort of implementing these projects, that's a result well worth the ~30% more effort for polishing the project in my book.

Lastly, users/interested people are often not developers. Personally, I have two websites related to a video game (one displaying some stats, the other being a loot box simulator). Both projects sit a 0 star on Github, but the access logs tell a different story, there has been thousands of (non-bot) visits since both went live, being useful to quite a few players of this particular game.

It's hard to measure impact, but it's extremely easy to underestimate it.
If you have FF on mobile, take a look in the settings and look at "data collection" (or something alike, I have it as "Datenerhebung" in german")

There is a switch with "marketing data".

And as far as I understood, this thing came out of "Firefox studies". They branded it as experiments, but I have not seen a experiment not related to tracking. Most famously the Mr.Robo scandal, but that only gained visibility, because it was visible. Others just ran in the background. But you should be able to look, what kind of "studies" did run on your computer.
