Sure if you can find a geography where your benefits are greater than your costs compared to a different, by definition that is doing more - efficiency is great. Reducing costs doesn’t always mean a net reduction in output; if I can work 1 hour a day and earn enough to fill my remaining hours with happy activities, that’s clearly less productive than working 8 hours a day and not having time to do what I want. Of course usually what happens for many people is they work less, get less, and don’t find a way to happily use the free time. That’s why people are constantly trying to migrate to countries with relatively higher productivity. Obviously not your case.
Basic invariants are very helpful for developing data structures and algorithms if you can come up with good ones. The more the better, as long as they can be checked reasonably quickly.

For example, I was implementing a dynamic spatial data structure a while ago, so one of the first things I did is implement a validation function that checks the entire structure for consistency errors. Then as I implemented new features, I added calls to the validation after every change, and it caught way more bugs and edge cases than I expected. Easy to accidentally swap a <= for a <, and have it complete successfully, but produce subtly incorrect results that you'd never spot by hand.

You may be right that that’s the intent, however what’s the point (other than collecting data about user confidences)? If I enter 0.3 and GPT provides a correct answer, then that doesn’t mean that the 0.3 was somehow wrong.

Another disingenuous article about security by people who don't understand security.

The risk may be low, but it is extant, and it is avoidable by simply not using suspicious public chargers.

Do otherwise at your own risk. These attacks were already demonstrated years ago. "Waaahh it's just a POC" sounds exactly like a desperate engineer clutching at straws. You are truly, genuinely, desperately naive if you don't think a publicly-available POC for widely-used tech that hasn't been properly addressed isn't being deployed in the real world.

I think you missed the part where I pointed out that hiring somebody to "pick up the cash" is not even necessary.

If scaling is the issue, invoicing the institutions hosting the laundry equipment a flat or a per-usage fee (whatever best suits the business model), and having them deal with the cash still scales much better than the whole infrastructure and headcount required to unnecessarily shoehorn an app into paying for using a washing machine.

How do you ensure your data centers get power from those sources?

Or is this a carbon credits kinda system?

(edit: Wait, are you actually building capture and power generation devices at these locations, and colocating data centers onsite next to them?? If so, that's incredible! It wasn't super clear from your website though, and I'm not sure I'm reading it right.)

Ah, for some reason I thought tree-sitter did autocomplete, and that pretty much relies on being able to find and read the relevant include files too.

I just checked and it doesn't do that, so if it's just doing enough for syntax highlighting, yeah, a custom parser is probably the best way to go about that. Thanks.

It's always annoyed me that the memory allocation for VMs is so static. If I allocate 16GB to a VM, it will fill these 16GB with its own filesystem cache, even when the host could make a better use of that memory (like using it for other VMs). There's virtio-balloon, but it has to be adjusted manually.

I don't know if I was telegraphing some agenda the officials did not want to further, or if it was because you were dealing with "Minnesota nice" people.

Chinese Cellular IoT Radio Modules Pose an Alarming US National Security Risk
BMW famously degraded the quality of their parts to squeeze out every last dollar of margins. They pushed the envelope too far in putting plastics in place of metal engine parts, and has one of the worse reliability ratings because of it.

Tesla certainly didn’t start the trend, nor is there strong evidence that they are even following that trend. We’ll need to wait another few years to see how things play out with Model 3 / Model Y to know the long-term reliability, but after 5 years, Model 3 owners rate their own cars very highly in the long running Bloomberg study [1]

It’s worse than that. It forces the user to decide what’s most important from an interface design perspective at each moment while also doing the task. The fluidity is cool, and it helps maintain an understanding of hierarchy and context, but at some point the “system” needs to decide what’s important, or you’re just outsourcing design to your user.

I agree with the overall idea that users should have a lot of control over what they see and how, but just presenting this idea as the only good one (as implied by contrarian or heresy or whatever) is not the way to go. This could work for specialized creative workflows, and there may be a version of this that you could use for a window system, but I think as shown it would need to be targeted at very engaged and specialized users who can put in the work.

Is there a version of this idea that could work for general computing for a typical user? Maybe! But it would make a lot of decisions for the user at the end of the day; it would just need to feel like it didn’t.
Would be nice, but the economics would be kinda wack with how much of the cost is in the battery pack. Especially when companies like tesla put the same pack in all their cars and determine your "capacity" in software.

I'd imagine that would either change, or people would start buying up the lowest-cost EVs just to pull the battery out of them (like "shucking" external drives) and resell all the other parts.
What about placing public, malicious chargers at the cafe across the street from the busy office building owned by a company whose data you'd really like to steal? It's sort of like the old tactic of dropping interesting-looking USB drives/CDs in the same kind of area, hoping that someone will be dumb/curious enough to plug it in.

It's about application and context.
Everything MS does is for the business case. Wordpad, windows, etc exist only in a capitalist context and need a financial justification to exist. It was there exactly for the reasons you state, to kill the word processor market in Windows. Previously you had all these other players but Win95 came with Wordpad for free which had a lot of functionality. For pros, you could buy Word. I don't think we appreciate how many competitors Win95 killed with all its built-in GUI apps when people upgraded from 3.1.

Now I'm starting to see Notepad aim for killing Notepad++ and other complex editors. I also read that RAR support is now native in Windows, so WinRAR and other RAR programs are probably going to finally die. I think this comes with further ZIP support and improvements which means apps like 7-zip are going to be less in demand.

There are many arguments for FOSS. This isn’t one of them.

Plenty of open source apps are abandoned. The maintainers get tired, too busy, or whatever.

Few users, if any, are depending on this app that hasn’t been getting attention for years. There’s plenty of replacement apps as good or better, including FOSS ones.

If it was open source, the odds are no one would care to take over maintenance (though they could) since it’s basically redundant at this point.
No, your link shows that a majority of validators will not include certain transactions in a block. While problematic in itself, there is nothing around slashing other validators who do so, on their allotted blocks.

Technically you can still obtain 32 ETH on the market, permissionlessly set up your own beacon-, validator- and execution clients and wait until it's your go to send out txes.
Adding to that, you also can't jump start another Tesla with your Tesla (according to the manual)

> Child sexual abuse material is abhorrent and we are committed to breaking the chain of coercion and influence that makes children susceptible to it.

It is amazing that so much counter-cultural spirit remains in Apple. They are probably going to ban likes and other vanity features in all iOS applications, prohibit access to popular media, put “pop stars” into rehabs, and teach their users to disobey (the hardest of all tasks).

A lot of people try really hard not to see that “unusual” abuse of the children is the same as “usual” abuse of everyone. Conveniently, the need for distinction creates “maniacs” that are totally, totally different from “normal people”, and cranks up the sensation level. The discussion of “external” evil then can continue ad infinitum without dealing with status quo of “peaceful, normal life”.
I was surprised by the claims of the "ease" of sending your GPS coordinates. I had no idea how to do this before this post. I dug around a bit to see what I had missed.

Some apps make this easier than others, with Google Maps still a mystery. In an emergency, or if I really needed a try location, I'd feel more comfortable with the dirt-simple nature of w3w then remembering how to find the lat/long and copying or saying all the digits (there are a lot of them!)

Apple Maps surprised me by being the easiest. It shows lat/long under the "My Location" pane which appears when I tap the blue dot. They make it easy to copy /paste.

Google Maps on iOS replaces that with a "Plus code". I can't find where my lat/long is in this thing, and gave up. (Hints and Spoilers welcome!)

Over the years, I have tried other map apps which I pulled up to see how they handled lat/long:

* Maps.me acts similarly to Apple Maps, tap the blue dot.

* Here We Go maps makes you drop a pin at your location, but then displays lat/long. Magic Earth has same problem/approach. Who would remember how to do that in a rush?

* Organic Maps over engineered this one: tap the blue arrow and lat/long appears, but when you tap it to copy, it changes to a new format each time (no commas, an alph-numeric I don't know, a url, a UTM, an MGRS, and then back to lat/long). Turns out you can press and hold to get a copy menu.

* Google Earth displays the lat/long right on the screen... But it's not copyable.

W3w may have implementation problems, but it does a great start on simplifying the answer to a verbal "where are you?". The rest of these, esp Google Maps, just aren't quite there yet.

> Here we could posit they invent ("The asker wants to know if I think it's likely Linda is a feminist or not")

I think it's more than "inventing" a context here, the entire blurb that came before the question ("Linda majored in philosophy and as a student she was very deeply concerned with discrimination..." etc) hints to the reader that this is the context. Or alternatively "how likely do you think is it that such a person ends up as a bank teller".

The punchline is of course that neither context is correct and the actual context is just about detecing a tautology, which is what most people are probably not prepared for.

Regurgitation via a Google news search link cites absolutely nothing. Its the sloppiest journalism I have ever seen on any tech website.
Small nit: I can 'jump' (read: charge the battery of) other cars with my model X, as long as the other car is an ICE car. In the frunk there is a panel that pops off and underneath there are (unlabeled) 12V and ground terminals that I can put jumper cables on.

However, I have had to get my car towed a mile to a charging station before, I really deeply wish I could have received a jump then.
LO for Windows launches with a launcher that pre-loads it a boot time. I find Writer to be pretty pleasantly light-weight on a modern computer. A lot of its performance shortcomings are a bit exaggerated especially on modern equipment.

ECC isn’t that hard to get in consumer platforms now. The situation has changed a lot from what you’re thinking.

You can get ECC support on Intel 12th and 13th generation parts by buying a motherboard with a W680 chipset.

You can get ECC support on modern AMD CPUs by picking a motherboard that lists ECC support listed on the product page. It’s not that hard.

It may be he sees the direction the market clearly has to go and is making a bet that humanity chooses to survive rather than face civilisation collapse and hence he is in a position to profit well from that. He could also be the change he wishes to see buying and using farm land for the products that make a future possible. There are a number of possibilities for why he might make those purchases and making these comments, they are almost certainly linked in some way.

Have you tried it? My Tesla doesn’t keep the terminals charged unless the car has recently been in motion and shuts down in a few minutes.

Also Tesla says not to do this, jumping in the conventional sense is more as you describe, charging the other battery and may require more than 20min to do it.
Larger ramdisks :)

With 64GB, I mount /tmp and ~/.cache as tmpfs, which speeds up web browsing and code compilation, but with more capacity I would mount /var or even / into RAM.

Granted, NVMe drives are so fast these days that the improvement of using RAM for storage is likely not noticeable. Plus there's the problem of persistence. If you're OK with volatile storage for your use case, then this won't be an issue. Otherwise, you need some way to ensure data is persisted.

Perhaps these RAM advancements will make hybrid DRAM/NAND drives cheaper and more performant.
It does, but this particular implementation is local to the module, and cannot be used for secondary purposes in addition to error correction, such as storing tag bits.

The worst programmer I know
I've been using beautiful.ai to make slides. I like it, but it takes control over font size, and does so poorly - it frequently chooses a font size that is just too big for the space, in which case it blots out the text with an error message telling me I have too much text. If I ADD another character or word, it pushes the font size selector to the next smaller font size and now my longer text is ok where my shorter text was previously too long. There is no direct control over the font size, just this badly implemented system-controlled size picker.
Yes, I have an unfortunate habit of leaving the lights on in my ICE vehicle, and I've used it to run an inverter many times in a camping type of scenario. My memory is that there's two 12v terminals in my frunk, one that turns off and one that does not. My car is older though, pre facelift.
Agree, the language is problematic. But unfortunately companies sometimes use the law to take away that right. Additionally, right to repair sometimes means going beyond the default state and requiring companies to go the extra mile, so that is where the langauge may also stem from.
In addition to all the legal restrictions on "reverse engineering" (i.e. examining how stuff works) and circumventing DRM, as technology advances, using technical means to restrict otherwise legal end-user activities is becoming a big problem.

That you're legally allowed to repair your tractor doesn't help much if the on-board secure TPM chip flags your replacement parts as counterfeit, locks the engine, and reports you to the manufacturer so they refuse to sell you parts in the future.
Question out of ignorance: what does it mean to jump start an EV?

I know what it is for an ICE (and I have a jump-starter-battery always in the trunk, with usb ports it doubles as a phone charger if you’re somewhere without power), but for an EV, I’d guess you either have enough battery charge for it to run, or you need to charge, right?
Manufacturers make things difficult to repair, use nonstandard components and tools that you can't get from a third party, they glue things together in such a way that you have to have break it to get inside, they take away your warranty if you do anything they don´t want you to do, and so on.

This dispute is all about not letting manufacturers use such tactics. I see it also as an ecological issue, because unrepairable and upgradeable stuff means more garbage.
My understanding is that they can't. Trademark protections, IIRC, extend only as far as to not confuse people as to the source of some product. If you created a parody to complain, and not to sell a competing product, then fair use would apply. Do you have any examples of when a Trademark holder has been able to prevent a parody?

Google just released a product update that integrates AI into their Cloud services.

When you talk about decades into the future, you won't be able to separate the two things.

You probably won't be able to do much of anything without AI actually.

What I think jobs may look like in the next 5-20 years is basically herding swarms of AIs.

Although as you get towards 20 or maybe 50 years, jobs may become less of a thing. Rather you may be integrated to some degree into a swarm yourself. At some point, AI and brain-computer interfaces may result in some type of meta-system transition. This could be as radical as something like a different (happy) version of a Borg ship. Who knows.

But the combination of extremely high bandwidth direct interfaces between brains and computers and brains and brains, along with advances in robotics, nanorobotics, programmable matter, and other speculative technologies of the future, could completely change the nature of human existence.

Especially when you get fifty or more years out.
