> The technology behind EUV is quite simple on paper, the hard part is getting it to work reliably.

EUV machines are a terrible approach to the problem made to work through a huge amount of effort. Look at the size of those things. All to get a little burst of soft X-rays and focus it on a mask and wafer. With a light source that works by using lasers to vaporize a droplet of tin falling in vacuum. Creating an internal mess that has to be cleaned up.

For a decade, people in wafer fab hoped there would be some other way to do this. Small synchrotrons. X-ray lasers. E-beam machines. But those approaches all fizzled out. So what ought to be a physics experiment run occasionally was hammered into being a production technology.

Examples of a commercial technology that hard which went mainstream are rare. There was the image orthicon.[1] That's a TV camera tube. Previous technologies needed very bright light. Zworklin's iconoscope accumulated the image over an entire frame time, but photon to electron conversion was very inefficient. Farnsworth's image dissector had much more efficient photon to electron conversion, because it had a photomultiplier built into the tube, but only the light received from the pixel currently under the scanning beam contributed to the output - there was no full-frame accumulation.

So RCA developed the image orthicon, which combined both of those technologies. It was insanely complicated and expensive. The tube alone cost about US$10,000 in the 1950. Color required three tubes. The tubes required something like ten different power supplies, and control and alignment required hundreds of adjustments. Here's someone trying to restore one.[2] All those racks of equipment for one camera.

Yes, sigh, the "Save the trees argument" it never did make much sense. first and most important. trees are a renewable resource. second, the best trees for paper are from small farmed trees. not old growth forest.

The actual take away should have been, the bigger the paper industry, the more trees there will be.

If you are grasping you can bring modern carbon sequester theory into the argument. but I will admit that is too complicated a subject for me to feel comfortable leaning on it.
I wonder how legit are some of the most popular download sites: e.g ffmpeg windows binaries [1] are hosted from some random person’s site. Sure you can check the checksum etc but that still doesn’t guarantee any relationship with a specific git commit.

I would just assume that non-gh or official hosted downloads (where reproducible/attested builds are available) are just state actors by default. Am I paranoid? How do Linux/Mac package managers solve this?

I’m really excited about Mojo, but can’t help but feel like Modular’s insistence to register for the download is a red flag for how they will handle Mojo development. It leaves a bit of a bad impression.
SCXML actually stands for State Chart XML: State Machine Notation for Control Abstraction!

The requirement of collecting the bags went the same way as the can policy. They are required to charge $.05 (or more) per can that they sell, but I have to drive to a completely different place, somewhere in a backlot to get my $.05 per can back.

And now in Phoenix I get plastic bags everywhere. But they're even worse. I remember in the old country we'd get plastic bags but they were actually usable as trash bags.

Now, I actually have to double bag the groceries as they tear by just pulling them off of the holder.

That was the original intent of AirBnB. What the problem is is "investors" etc buying up properties to effectively turn into hotels and rent out as short term rentals THAT THEY DONT LIVE IN.

Workers need a place to live. They cant forgo a place to live if they cant afford it like they can with a big screen tv. These AirBnB entrepreneurs are taking housing stock out of circulation for local workers to rent/live in.

Housing is not your typical commodity.

Is that not why OpenAI is ahead right now? For free, you can have access to powerful AI on anything with a web browser. You don't need to wait for your SSD to load the model, page it into memory and swap your preexisting processes like it would on a local machine. You don't need to worry about the local battery drain, heat, memory constraints or hardware limitations. If you can read Hacker News, you can use AI.

Given the current performance of local models, I bet OpenAI is feeling pretty comfortable from where they're standing. Most people don't have mobile devices with enough RAM to load a 13b, 4-bit Llama quantization. Running a 180B model (much less a GPT-4 scale model) on consumer hardware is financially infeasible. Running it at-scale, in the cloud is pennies on the dollar.

I'm not fond of OpenAI in the slightest, but if you've followed the state of local models recently it's clear why they keep coming out ahead.

That does not make anyone appreciate Napoleons one.

At that point, why not just increase the level of social security? It sounds like you're mostly creating an additional universal system to layer on top. And, if it's not universal (including small businesses that now have an additional administrative cost) you have now created a retirement plan that basically favors public sector and big companies (which admittedly 401k already does to an extent).
Deliberately ignoring experience and expertise because corruption is merely possible, is not the right way to go about making decisions.
You might be interested to know that putting a clamp on a car is illegal in the UK. You can still 'fine' illegal parkers, but you can't clamp them. It is not really a fine though, it is a civil matter similar to breach of contract. I successfully appealed one due to inadequate signage, but I had to go to the tribunal.

Better still, in France there was mass civil disobedience at the introduction of clamping. Random people put superglue in the lock of any clamp they saw until they were withdrawn! I have always admired the French for that.
Labour don't oppose it because it makes no sense for them to do so.

If they did oppose it, then the still-powerful right-wing press would be immediately printing LABOUR SUPPORT PAEDOPHILES on their front pages.

Most people wouldn't care, but because of FPTP, elections are determined by a small number of swing voters. Anyone slightly left of the Tories is almost certainly going to vote Labour anyway, because they don't really have any political choice.

It's just posturing for the media, I think. I suspect most people involved realise that what the bill is trying to do is unworkable.
Astronomers spot star being ‘repeatedly shredded and consumed’ by black hole
1. Spy on researchers, harvest 0-days before they're published, monetize them (selling 0-days, spreading ransomware, etc),
2. Sell info/research to publish academic research before the victim does,
3. geopolitical leverage,
4. blackmail researchers to get more of the above,
5. use 0-days found by others for global dragnet surveillance, which translates to money and political power,
6. plant (dormant) code in critical infrastructure internationally for geopolitical leverage / future war.
7. inject any code into any repo that the researchers have access to or that the researchers are known to make use of (tools),
8. economic espionage / accesss to high-tech international IP

Just kind of what the NSA does really with the exception of monetizing on ransomware?

This is not how I imagine "turning a keyboard into a mouse" to behave. How is this even practically useful? A better solution is to hold a combination of meta keys like ctrl-shift-alt or the like with one hand and use the keyboard like a trackpad with the other, except by "sliding" the keys while they are pressed since almost all keyboards are not touch sensitive. This of course would work best with flatter keys and not mechanical ones.
Didn't try downloading the SDK yet, but in the playground, seems like the "Python superset" advertisement does not hold (trying to define a class gives "error: classes not implemented yet"). Great to see progress in this space but I think the real killer feature of Mojo would be to run any existing Python program and allow programmers to incrementally adopt Mojo's syntax for targeted optimizations, and seems like we're not there yet.
I can upgrade from 1Gbit to 10Gbit for only 5 euros extra per month but I don't really have anything to take advantage of it. I don't think my new MacBook Air M2 even supports 6E, and wiring the apartment would be a bit of a hassle.
Until someone has you in your contact list, they use WhatsApp, and oops now Facebook has your real name and phone number. Should Facebook get compromised this combination of PII is in the wild. 2FA requirement is another example.

Instead, I assume my phone number is compromised, and my address is leaked. I'm wary on receiving anonymous phone calls. I only pick up my phone saying 'yeah?' or my first name. If it is a hostile caller then I simply hang up. Don't argue, don't comment. Hang up.

However if I were to receive a lot of BS calls I'd implement the mentioned system. I believe this is also why 2FA over mobile was rolled out by data gathering companies: to get your phone number.
What even makes one movie politically correct and another one not? The phrase has been watered down to the point where I think it now just means "vaguely liked by one political team and disliked by the other." So instead of using a meaningless euphemism, OP should articulate what exact themes, stories, or characters they think lead to a good critic score?

Like Cisco ? Who had backdoors for years ?/s
I can relate. My example was welding. It's something that always was fascinating and I wanted to pick up for hobby work but was held back by fear. I hired a guy who's been around welding for decades and who was formally trained on welding to teach me. I told him how important it was for me to learn how to weld safely. He taught me at a pace that was very comfortable. Now I can safely weld as a hobbyist. I don't do it all the time, but I'm very glad that I conquered my fear and picked up a new hobby.

I would say that it's good to have some fear and respect for the tools and machinery that can do you great harm. Fortunately, there's a lot of good (and bad) videos on youtube. When I need to learn to use a new tool that is dangerous I always watch multiple videos and also search for web sites that discuss how to use that tool safely.

The "kidney slicing" or "waist slicing" (Ernie's transliteration) organ harvesting example could be intentional. Someone searching that topic is likely someone who really doesn't know what people are talking about and will read just enough of the answer to know they don't need to care about some random historical anomaly.

I'd love this. Recommendation algorithms felt magical in the beginning, but I feel they're getting worse each year. They're getting manipulated by private interests or outright bought, and even when they're successful at remaining impartial they often get stuck in feedback loops.

Human curation seems to be the only way out, but it can be so unergonomic. I don't really want to watch no-name movie reviewers on YouTube for hours until I find some I agree with. I don't want to read rambling blog posts to figure out whether or not someone liked a film.

The ideal flow for me would be: rate a handful of films, then it provides a list of curators that I can choose to follow. Each curator has a list of films that they've endorsed ("you should check this out, for this reason").

There are many incorrect statements in this.

None of those three "use" anything.

On machines that predate the new ConPTY replacement mechanism (so, everything before Win11), any app that is a command line program (such as cmd.exe, Powershell, anything compiled to be a console program and not a GUI program (this can be any program, and is chosen at compile time)), it is ConPTY.

ConPTY can see OTF fonts (afaik, I remember that working, I don't have a system old enough to check), but can't see any fonts that are in your user font directory (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts).

As of Win11, however, ConPTY (which has been in existence since NT4, and has been an ugly pain in the ass for just as long) has been replaced with a mechanism to allow you to chose which one you want: a user supplied terminal that can supply that dependency (currently only Microsoft Terminal, but it is documented so any terminal can do it), or a ConPTY replacement owned by the Terminal team (which is basically the renderer and parser ripped out of Terminal, and a massive in-place upgrade, while still looking and acting like ConPTY otherwise). If the old ConPTY can't see OTF fonts (which would stem from using the oldest and most classic font API still in Windows), the new one can (as it uses DirectWrite).

On Win11 machines set to use Terminal instead of new-ConPTY, launching cmd.exe, Powershell, WSL.exe, or any other console program, will launch Terminal to display itself if not already in a console session.

However, fundamentally, for the entire conversation preceding this, it doesn't matter if a font is TTF or OTF for the purposes of supplying Unicode or Nerdfonts icons. OTF only matters if you want Type1-style glyphs (cubic Bézier curves vs quadratic) or want to use OTF features (which aren't meaningful for terminals, generally).
> But the city also has to guarantee the company lost revenue if the city removes meters

This makes complete sense though. The company and the city signed a deal for X amount of meters for Y amount of years. That no doubt went into the financial planning for Profit/Loss. If the city were to remove meters they would be breaking the contract as there are no longer X meters and that much less revenue that the company paid upfront for.

Chinese characters being unsuitable for QWERTY typewriters and early computers' limitations didn't "almost kill character-based Chinese", it just meant Chinese computing lagged behind. Inputing Chinese characters with a limited key set wasn't even conceptually novel, given the long history of structural decomposition and phonetic representation of Chinese characters, but it just couldn't be implemented before computers were powerful enough.

> It says Canada's population has increased by 15% over the last decade (35 million -> 40 million).

Canada is a developed country with a lot of natural resources; by a lot of metrics, it is one of the top 10 countries with the most natural resources per capita. It should easily be able to increase its housing stock by 1.5% a year at at a national level.

It looks like Greater Toronto went from 5.7 million in 2013 to 6.4 million, ten years later in 2023[0], for a slightly lower rate of growth than the nation as a whole. A cursory search didn't reveal any sources for the number of dwelling units in the GTA over the same time period; but I'm willing to bet that if you combined that plus the expansion in the supply of Canadian dollars, you'll explain most of that growth in home prices.

The money supply in Canada alone more than doubled in the past 10 years[1] vs. the 15% growth in population; so all else equal, you'd expect houses to transact for roughly 74% more CAD in 2023 than in 2013. The Toronto housing price index went from 154.36 in July 2013 to 360.78 this past July, at a 134% growth over the same time period. Most of that difference may be explained by a lack of building in Toronto. I'm sure some of it is other socioeconomic factors (increasing centralization of wealth in cities, etc.), but I don't think any of them are particularly unique to Canada.

If anything else, due to its abundance of open land (granted, not all of it is economically valuable) as well as its natural resource advantages, Canada should be much better suited than other developed countries to be able to handle its housing challenges. The fact that it's not is mostly due to policy choice, which I posit are choices similar to those made in other developed countries.
