No.

Firmware upgrade is a risk that has no mitigations for certain kinds of systems. No amount of money will solve this problem. No sum of money will convince a sensible patient to upgrade firmware on their pacemaker or anything like that.

But even for less critical systems -- what's the problem with wanting to pay less? This is like one of the primary economical drivers...

You also for some reason think that software upgrades are some sort of a natural phenomena which others have to adjust to, and it just happens on predictable interval, and if you miss your cycle you have to pay. Which is obviously ridiculous. A result of industry conditioning you to expect this to work a certain way, w/o questioning the reason for it to work this way.

What should drive software upgrades is in the large part the longevity of hardware. The author claims that the longevity of hardware has improved, even though industry didn't particularly invest into it. It's upsetting to have to generate a lot of e-waste just because we (as an industry) set our sights on a particular release schedule designed to maximize profits for those who provide releases and minimize them for those who consume them.

Well, here is my take on this.

I feel there is a LOT happening in the SW field and it's hard to keep up with all these things.

Every other tool is now AI/ML powered and there is always a better library/framework every alternate week.

Honestly, it takes a toll and made me wonder, what the hell am I doing? Do I have to keep up with all these till I am on this field?

I am now trying to find something tangible to keep me motivated apart from the money.

I'm pretty sure he means Slovakia. Not sure about any minister, but the policemen is true and there was the Kovac case -- maybe not minister, but president's son.
Sounds like a strong exaggeration. The 90s were rough in comparison to time before and after, but no, beheadings and dissolving bodies in acid were not normal.

1998 was the absolute worst in the Czech history in regard to murders with 3 murdered people per 100 000 people. In comparison, US rate in 2021 was 6.8.

> This all improved nowadays but not as much as we would like.

There's always room for improvement, but today Czechia is one of the safest countries on earth (safer than France, for example).
Training and using ML is different. It has been relatively common to bundle the trained weights with a different programming language system - but training can be a more exploratory phase, so python is not a bad fit for that.
Defcon 31: A Comprehensive Guide to the World's Premier Cybersecurity Event
One claim of the article is that specific job focused training programs have failed to provide students with skills previous students had gained during their training.

I completely agree that education does not remove the need to gain real experience on the job, no matter the circumstances. But there are certain skill that should be learned before entering certain jobs and the article claims many students are lacking in those skills.
> Read the proposal

I have, and that is not a viewpoint unless you wrote the proposal.

> if you have read the proposal, it's clear that they are being careful and are upfront about the some potential misuses and the proposed handing of them.

The goal of the proposal is strictly incompatible with our freedoms. After all, restricting which devices, environments and software we're allowed to use to visit the website is the entire point of this proposal, is it not?

> again there is no such thing proposed. The "attester" is not specifically Google. anyone can become an "attester". The chain of trust is a chain that trusts tokens not specific "things". if you for example would trust let's say Opera as the attester, Opera would need to trust windows or Linux or Android as the OS attester.

So what? Even if this were true in any practical sense, as a user I have no control over which attesters the website trusts - and they will require attestation from parties that attest that I'm running the latest version of Windows or MacOS with Spyware version 5.49.182 installed, and another party that attests that their ads are visible in my framebuffer.

That won't happen immediately, of course, it would be much too obvious. But introduction of WEI establishes a clear path forward towards that reality. Once WEI is in place, the chain of trust will continuously creep up the stack until everything from the TPM chip up to your framebuffer and display is locked down. They'll slowly boil the frog, like they always do.

> The analogy here is the certificate Authorities. You may very well have a "let's encrypt" attester that democratizes the good parts (certification) without the bad parts (too much information) .

That's a terrible analogy. For one, the only thing TLS server certificates attest to is that I *the user* am connected to the *server* that I intended to connect to.

A better analogy would be mandatory TLS client certificates which would attest that I'm John Doe, underage, registered to reside in a country where the legal drinking age is 18, warning the websites that my juvenile criminal record is spotty. That's what WEI is comparable to, and you'd see a similar level of pushback if that's what was being introduced.
> owning media

Who should own media? Private people, or the state?

> lobbying the government

If lobbying the government is effective, it's either because the lobbying was correcting a wrong, or the government is allowing itself to be corrupted.

> owning the means of production

The "means of production" was barely relevant when Marx found out what a factory was from his factory-owning mate. A plumber owns "the means of production" when he owns his own tools. It's far too low resolution a phrase to be useful, except for anyone who finds it useful to teach people to hate another group of people.
To me it really seems like it is too late.

I have the strong impression that the vast majority of people simply do not care and mostly don't even want to know.

Most of the people I know are in this group. When they ask why I won't install the latest app they are playing with, they often cut me off before I even finish explaining. They seriously don't care about privacy, lock-in, loss of access to resources, right to repair, etc.

Personally, I'm investing as much time as I can in learning the alternatives: Gemini, Fediverse apps, Linux phones, etc. That combined with having a "mainstream" laptop that is used only for banking and similar life critical services that has nothing else installed and otherwise stays turned off.
I’ve seen keyboards that allow firmware upgrades & configuration over WebUSB. This covers not just Linux but even smaller OSs as well as the audience using Android tablets as a PC or whatever.
> The production method is so poorly documented only a fraction of the samples being made shows any interesting properties.

I have understood that rather, the production method is poorly known even to the Koreans themselves, and also they have only a small success rate in their samples. So it's more that the Koreans themselves are not entirely sure what "makes it click", and you can't document it well because you don't yourself know all the details.

You can find differences everywhere if you look hard enough. The difference you identified is not objective, it's only your opinion that it "redefines the noun". I don't think that it does, at least not more than "homo"/"hetero" does.

> So by using "cis", this implies an agreement with this world view that men who call themselves women somehow actually are women. A view that most people don't actually hold.

You'll have to prove that most people don't hold this view, until you do it's pure conjecture. And you will also have to explain why banning the word isn't a bad thing for trans people who do subscribe to this world view, as that is the topic we're talking about.
The instructions feel unnecessarily convoluted to me when ChatGPT can do a very good job of doing the translations itself. I'd suggest you consider telling people to ask your app itself for help if stuck, and falling back to English if struggling to find words or if in need of translations.

Having tested your tool w/French, it in fact handles it perfectly well if I insert random English words in the sentences (and translates it into French), handles it fine if I ask it to explain words, and even if I ask it to repeat an explanation or sentence in English (hilariously, but I guess to be expected and provides nice continuity, it then spoke English with a French accent), so not much need to put things into Google Translate.

I sometimes do this with ChatGPT directly to practice language - just start asking it questions in another language and ask it to explain in English if something is unclear, or give it a short prompt to get it to correct my questions before answering.

The immersion you get when you can just start a sentence in the language you're practising and just switch "back" when you lack the vocabulary feels much better - you can be a lot more ambitious and throw yourself into sentences without a clue about how to finish them in the language you're practising.

The RP2040 is extremely easy to design hardware for, has excellent documentation and toolchain support, and provides a wide variety of peripherals. Meanwhile, most ESP32 variants don't even have USB and depend on a custom proprietary toolchain.

For applications where Bluetooth or WiFi are needed, the ESP32 is obviously a way better chip. But the RP2040 is also a dual core MCU, its speed at 133MHz isn't anything to scoff at either, and it is genuinely a pleasure to work with. I'd take the RP2040 over the ESP32 any day of the week.

So it could have been done in 3D Studio Max, or Maya on SGI or Lightwave on Amiga -> .ANI-> .GIF

This by the way, means there could be a way to extract/archaeology dig after the original project file and make a nice 8K render of it.

If I pre-filter the data and collect only the answers to questions I’ve already thought to ask about, I can't come back and ask different questions of the data and get those questions answered against the historical dataset.

(I'm arguing for why they might choose to do it this way, not arguing that that's the best balance point for the system. I'm sure that laziness has a factor here as well, as "ship it all to the data warehouse and we'll figure it out later" has a certain appeal in project timelines and is often the default stance.)

In my experience watching for attribute changes is very fast; I suspect in part because you need to explicitly list out the attributes which you're watching for changes and it only triggers the attributeChangedCallback lifecycle hook if one of those specified attributes changes.

React renders aren't always cheap. It depends on the complexity of the component and you don't have as much control over the rendering. I've worked on some React apps which were so slow due to unnecessary re-renders that my new computer would often freeze during development. I was able to fix it by refactoring the code to be more specific with useState() (to watch individual properties instead of the entire object) but this flexibility that useState provides is a React footgun IMO. With HTMLElement, you're forced to think in terms of individual attributes anyway and these are primitive types like strings, booleans or numbers so there is no room for committing such atrocities.
Mean and standard deviation up front, not from the sample. At least, that would go against my understanding of Bayes factors and how I’ve calculated them. You can do other stats, t-test for example, without declaring that up front.
Of course China hasn’t, because it’s a unipolar world. The USSR tried, but was contained and defeated. We will see in the future. And as others have said. I’m not defending the misdeeds of the USA.

> Google “the null hypothesis”.

> If you mean null model, then I’m not fighting against anyone. We all agree which null model to use is a choice to be made.

I don’t understand what difference you are trying to imply by drawing a distinction between a null model and a null hypothesis.

> Otherwise, I’m not even sure what you’re trying to convince me of at this point. I’ll restate the essence of my first comment more concisely.

I will try to make it as clear as possible.

> Bayes factors are a method of model comparison.

Are you implying that hypothesis testing isn’t? That’s just false. And I’ve explained why.

> You take the ratio of marginal likelihoods for two models given the data. Choosing a null model for this purpose requires more assumptions than doing null hypothesis testing with frequentist statistics.

And in frequentist statistics you just calculate likehood because you can’t integrate over your model probabilities to get marginal likehood because you don’t assume your models to have a probability of being true. That’s the only extra assumption you have in Bayesian statistics. Everything else is the same. If you are saying that there are some other extra assumptions, that’s just false as I’ve explained in my previous comments. There are no extra assumptions for a “null model” beyond putting a prior on it.

> Mixing the schools of thought of Bayesian and frequentist makes things more confusing than operating within them individually. Bayes factors have other uses than null hypothesis testing.

There is no any confusing “mixing”. It’s just statistical decision theory. In the frequentists approach you calculate the risk of your decision rule for each model and call it a day. In the Bayesian approach you go one step further and average your risks using your priors to get the “total” Bayes risk.

Both approaches have uses other than null hypothesis testing. Null hypothesis testing is just a particular case of a decision problem with a 0-1 loss function. The loss is 0 if you have chosen the correct hypothesis and it is 1 if you have encountered type I or type II error.
To be fair, it's the driver that's causing the risk to life, not the barrier.

It makes sense to provide plenty of warnings and if a driver isn't paying attention, then they need to be stopped before they damage something really expensive.
Doctors and other people alike say weather change make people sick. Hence never got help that way.
I see a lot of "This must be real, why would labs publish this if they don't think it's real, they have nothing to gain." sentiment on HN lately. Or "Researcher's career would be ruined if they falsely claim to replicate.", and so on. I also want to believe! But I should add a bit of skepticism to the hype :)

- "this could ruin their career": Depends. If they posted completely fake numbers or intentionally fake videos. Sure, that would be bad. But none of this is peer reviewed, and all of this can be retracted. A contaminated sample? Oops, retract. Bad measurement methodology? Oops, retract. Sure, somebody will remember that you made the controversial paper in the first place, but as long as you are not provably fabricating, a lot can be attributed to "an honest error". There are tons of peer reviewed papers out there with errors that completely change the outcome. Does not mean the authors are "finished".

- "they have nothing to gain": Oh, they absolutely do. While "science should be fully objective", funding agencies very much aren't. Obviously, just like VC funding, science funding is not a complete coin toss. But having "the right" team and background is often as important as the idea itself. One way to get the right background is to "touch shoulders with the giants" and one way to get the right team is to be highly visible and attract talent.

So overall, if LK99 is eventually shown to be a superconductor by someone else, you have a lot to gain, even if your own initial study is not perfect.

Let's say your team synthesised something. It looks like LK99 and it has some properties that are not really superconducting but at least a bit unusual. This clearly isn't what you hoped for. Now, do you run a bunch of other controls to see if it is some form of contamination, process error, combination of both... or do you publish a vague click-bait paper on ArXiv and hope that other results will somewhat align with yours?

Finally, I'm not claiming this paper or any other paper intentionally published untrue or misleading results. Just that scientists are also people. They have FOMO, they follow trends, they see what they want to see. As always, big claims require big evidence, and so far we don't really have that. But that does not mean there isn't some truth to the big claims :)
Which is funny because Apple often does design fails with regards to how stuff works. The obvious Magic Mouse 2 charging port, their mices continued insistence that there be only one physical click button so it's literally impossible to right and left click at the same time despite games and other software occasionally needing that, being maybe the only monitor manufacturer in the world to still ship a monitor with a single input, the Mac Mini constantly being plagued by Bluetooth/Wifi issues because of its chassis design etc.

Google's ad business (and the need to track ad conversions) affects every business sector it's involved in. From Maps (where you loc. is tracked for 'in-store' conversions' to your Google ID which tracks which ads you click, to Chrome pushing for mechanisms to track conversions after cookie-blocking has become standardized.

You kind of understand their needs (since ads fund search and everything), but I also don't trust them not to 'over-optimize' (esp. given the unchecked powers, both political and technocratic, they have).
