Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your project.

I'm also interested in processor module verification. May I offer some performance suggestions:

- You don't need Ghidra to use Ghidra's p-code emulator

- Ghidra's p-code emulator is part of the decompiler which is cpp not Java. It's located in ~/Ghidra/Features/Decompiler/src/decompile/cpp in source. There are examples there as well

- So instead of communicating back in forth with Ghidra itself, hack up your emulator to also use Ghidra's p-code emulator. At every step you can save state, run your emulator and the p-code emulator, and diff the final state. If there's any differences one (or both) emulators are wrong.

This will likely be too slow to play but should be much faster than your current approach. Hope this helps.
I enjoyed working with concourse as the foundations of Pivotal's release engineering systems. We tried several other platforms, but ultimately concourse was tailor-made for Pivotal-style dev/ops ie highly technical, prioritizing version-control and CLIs over GUIs, with the wall-mounted "build monitor" as a first-class user. While Concourse wasn't explicitly a Pivotal product, shouldn't Conway's Law encourage us not to understate the influences of the Pivotal milieu?

I don't doubt that VMware failed to nurture Concourse's maintenance post-acquisition. I hesitate to make sweeping statements about the legendary virtualization behemoth, but I personally doubt their commitment XP dev/ops culture.

Edit: don't take my word for it, read someone more closely involved to this day, Nat Bennett https://www.simplermachines.com/some-facts-about-concourse/
I had similar exercises when swimming: 4x25m with 3 breaths each 25m, 4x25m with 2 breaths each 25m, 4x25m with 1 breath each 25m, and 4x25m where you only breath when you hit the wall and turn. There are similar variants for 50m.

That made a huge difference expanding my lung capacity, and I still have most of that expanded lung capacity today.
I bought an old server off ServerMonkey for like $700 with a stupid amount of RAM and CPUs and it runs Llama2-70b fine, if a little slowly. Good for experimenting

Yeah, whatever works for you. When I was at a place that did regular 1:1s, my manager always stressed that they're for me, not for the company, and if I want to change the frequency of time I should just let them know. Not sure about your company culture, but if you're already experienced, I can't imagine your boss would be unhappy if you said "you know, I don't need so much guidance, let's have less 1:1 meetings". Assuming most of the communication happens in regular team meetings, which seems healthy.
Aren't we all going to start throwing away perfectly good lightning cables now?

It's switching connectors that's wasteful, and the EU thing is causing more switching sooner.

A better idea would have been to require Apple and others to switch to the standard connector the next time they change the connector for a product line, without a specific timeline.

Oh well. It may not be good for the planet, but at least we get to dunk on Apple!
Compare to a known transformer explosion in NYC:

<https://yewtu.be/watch?v=nMcFOfouVk4>

Earthquake P waves travel at roughly 10,000 kph (6,700 mph), and will take about 9 seconds to travel 50 km (30 miles), a typical distance to the horizon.

During an earthquake, transformers may be disrupted over a wide region, and will be seen as precursor lights from regions further from the epicenter. Despite that, they're a human and technological phenomenon, not a natural and geological one.
A few years ago I asked a new hire to ssh to a certain machine from their new dev Linux laptop, and they said OK and began searching the web for PuTTY for Linux. Didn't work out with them.

That's opinion, not a fact
> I don't understand why you seem so adamant for me to be sympathetic to businesses that are only profitable with the charity of another company.

That is... certainly a way to phrase the conversation we've had and it is certainly a way to characterize the complaints that developers have with Unity's changes, as if they're simply looking for charity handouts.

I would suggest that part of the free market and part of Capitalism and part of business is that when platforms make decisions that hurt a lot of developers, sometimes those platforms get criticized publicly for those decisions. That's part of how business works; bad publicity is one of the penalties businesses pay for bad PR decisions.

----

Of course you don't have to sympathize with developers, but it's disingenuous for anyone to claim that these changes won't impact developers or that critics of these changes are just ignorant of actual game development practices.

> It's an absolute punch in the throat that Unity has decided to apply these fees retroactively and with so little advance notice

is a pretty different phrasing from how you talked about those developers in your other comments, and it's ironic that you seem to hold such disdain for them given that your own industry experience would not have been possible under the same terms that you dismiss in other comments above as having virtually no impact on the majority of games.

Again, I'm not trolling for sympathy here, I really don't care if you care about developers. It's just not good for you to spread misinformation about the potential impact of the changes or to act like the pushback to the changes is based on inexperience or ignorance rather than legitimate grievances about their potential impact on whether or not Unity is usable for entire segments of the market.
These sorts of posts are off-context for Hacker News.
Who decides what "filmic value" is? I've seen some of the older films, and I feel they hold up pretty well; The Passion of Joan of Arc (1927, #21 on this list) and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920, not listed here) are some of my favourite films, and personally I'd say they really do stand up well today.

Some people might also find these finds incredibly boring, and that's fine. In the end this is nothing more than "films the 1,639 people who voted liked the best". I bet everyone can name some films they feel should be on that list, or has seen films on the list that they disliked; for example I felt Citizen Kane was profoundly boring. That's okay as not everyone's movie taste is the same, just as people's tastes in music or food differ.

Years ago I watched The Childhood of a Leader in the theatre with my then-girlfriend. I thought it was pretty good. I could see her shifting in her seat and sighing heavily, and her dislike of it was palpable even in the dark without any words spoken. She hated it and would have walked out if it wasn't for me. My rating would be 8/10 or so; hers 1/10. Average rating: 4.5, which is not too far off the 54% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Anyhow, my point is: I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss people's tastes.
There is also scientific evidence that hand-writing down your goals on paper is a positive factor in achieving those goals (this was on a recent episode of huberman lab)

We do have licorice candy, but it will be black, not purple, and it wouldn't be mixed with other flavors of candy, since a large number of people seem to hate it. (Sometimes mixed jellybeans will include licorice.)

I honestly can't tell if your reply is sarcastic. Text sucks sometimes.

It means that to a vanishingly small number of quite deranged people. Hand over your language to them if you so wish. I won't be doing so.
This is why GOG is the better option. I think every game on there is DRM free.
The iPad Pro went to USB-C with no audio jack 3-4 years ago, and Apple has been selling those adaptors since at least then.

Did you know that the microphone on the wired Apple earbuds don’t work on anything other than Apple devices? Well, one nice thing about the adaptors is that they allow you to use those earbuds on any computer with a USB-C port. I’ve avoided buying new headsets thanks to them.
> I have had substantially more at-bats with debt collectors than most people, as a result of an old hobby of writing letters on behalf of debtors to their lenders and non-affiliated debt collectors.

What kind of "old hobby" is this? My hobbies are.. well, ok, I do help my family with their various enterprises in my free time.

The USSR had lots of nukes. And then it collapsed. Nobody launched the nukes.
Eh, maybe, or maybe you just don’t know what you’re talking about. Your reply is quite a reach on the presumption spectrum!

The culture we needed in that moment was one of high standards, of directness and honesty, of pressure to do the best work. My message fit the necessary culture, and the outcome was exactly the team I had hoped to shape. I still remain friends with these folks to this day.

We were hardly self-congratulatory; quite the opposite, we were completely without ego and laser-focused on doing right by the company and our teams, and I’m proud to this day of how we ran things.
What are your thoughts on fine tuning vs low rank adaptations?
How big is your team? How do you code review? How do you unit test? How are you maintaining 3 year old blueprints?

This will work just fine for small indie games and teams where the code is thrown out after a year, but there's no scaling this. I've worked with enough 10 year old Max/MSP patches to know that you will have an unmaintainable mess of wires that is as good as garbage after a while.

Larger teams typically use Blueprints to prototype but then rewrite in C++. This is a perfectly fine use case, but ultimately you still need it "written down" for the maintainability.

tl;dr Blueprints are a tool in the process to writing C++, they aren't a replacement.
> The truth, as ever, has turned out to be more complicated. Last year, an influential review of the available data concluded that there was no clear evidence to support the theory, and the ensuing headlines left many bewildered about who or what to believe.

This article makes the same mistake as many other journalists: You don’t need a deficiency of a neurotransmitter for a medication to have an effect.

For an obvious example: People experiencing severe pain don’t have an “opioid deficiency”, yet opioid medications can alleviate their symptoms. Likewise, you don’t need to have a “serotonin deficiency” for drugs that interact with serotonin to have an effect on depression.

The whole “chemical imbalance” theory of depression was a reasonable guess at the time, but neuroscience largely moved past it decades ago as a singular explanation for depression. It has largely persisted among pop science, though, which creates confusion every few years when journalists get ahold of some scraps of research and try to stir up some controversy about depression medications.

Basically, ignore this section of the article. Serotonin deficiency was never necessary for SSRIs to work and we’ve known that for decades. The authors of these books throw out some vague explanations for why they think they work, but the reality is that it’s all very complex and our understandings are still evolving. Engineers tend to hate medicine because they want to think of the brain as a well-understood computer program that can be debugged and treated with the right inputs (medications) but ultimately a lot of what we know is from empirical testing. We can throw theories out all day long, but at the end of the day the only thing that matters is what shows results in studies.
USB C devices are supposed to have resistors on the CC pins to help negotiate power delivery with the port supplying power and to allow detection of pin orientation[1]. But to save a few pennies (or because no one read the USB C specs), many cheap devices don't have these resistors and USB-C chargers that implement PD are almost certainly configured to not supply any voltage at the VBUS pins until a connection is actually detected. As a result these devices won't charge from a spec compliant USB C charger. Cheap chargers on the other hand may be nothing more than a basic 5V 1A USB A charger with a C port instead and happily supply power on the pins regardless of the CC pin status. Likewise A-to-C cables would do the same thing, since A chargers just supply 5V continuously without any negotiation.

1) Wireless reverse charge from phone - you go take a shower remove phone from your pocket and remove your watch and put on your phone - 10 min shower + 5 min shaving should be enough to charge to 100% as some android phones with 100W fast charging

2) wireless charging via some smart apple watch bands with chargers coils inside macbook on the left side and right side of touchpad - so that every time I type on macbook it charges my apple watch

See, the thing is, the market for that just isn't that big. You're a vocal minority.

Apple needs to make phones in big quantities for their economies of scale to function, but the market for small phones is small enough that it only makes sense to produce one every few years. (source: one of their yearly reports, IIRC)
Climate change deserves to be the prime issue because we're accelerating towards very bad, very wide-ranging effects, that will eventually be irreversible (on the time scale of human civilization). That's not true to anywhere near the same degree for any other global environmental issue. The primary way we might "soon" ruin a lot of our drinking water is through climate change, and even change that's far less significant than your 10 degrees remark.

I'm sorry for your losses, but depression in the context of the OP is a biochemical issue. What you're experiencing is profound sadness (I lost a brother to an OD, a nephew to rabies, etc., it sucks).

Time theoretically will help heal your wounds but for many it's not that simple (as the article points out, we're still trying to figure it out).

An incredibly bitter irony is that one can take steps to ameliorate the condition but when in the throes of it, finding the strength and ability to do so is incredibly challenging.

I don't know any good developers in Jane Street because I don't know any Jane Street engineers. This is likely because I didn't go to a top school, because I am objectively inferior.

Group emails are also places where the "loudest" get heard - it's not just physically having a strong voice, but being the sort of person who feels the need to speak even if they're unsure they're correct, or this is the right forum.

Sampling group emails likely has a similar bias to sampling large meetings.

Thinking out loud, but it's mostly power to weight ratio isn't it?

With batteries currently being less energy dense than fuel, can an electric car be faster?

Now there's more to the vehicles than just the energy supply, so I suppose if an electric car could harness battery power more efficiently (i.e. with less weight) than an ICE powered vehicle, it could be faster?

> How is this a supply chain attack?

It's a supply-chain attack because the article has a section about how the official website for "Free Download Manager" was serving malware to a percentage of people.

> While checking videos on Free Download Manager that are hosted on YouTube, we identified several tutorials demonstrating how to install this software on Linux machines. We observed the following actions that happen in all these videos:

> - The video makers opened the legitimate website of Free Download Manager (freedownloadmanager[.]org) in the browser;

> - They afterwards clicked on the Download button for the Linux version of the software;

> - They were redirected to the malicious https://deb.fdmpkg[.]org/freedownloadmanager.deb URL that hosts the infected version of Free Download Manager.
> Also, where exactly are the users gonna go?

Exactly. Apple can influence what their customers want to some degree, rather than listening. Only has to be better than Android.

A cleaner example is Bluetooth audio vs jack. iPhones had both forever, but BT wasn't popular. One day Apple coaxed everyone onto BT, probably realizing they can make a killing selling AirPods that way. Samsung thought maybe this would send a few customers their way, so they started advertising that they still have a jack, but nope.
Jesus I am so sorry to hear about that. I have no idea how I would cope dealing with that. I sincerely hope life gets better for you over the next few years. Stay strong brother.
Wait until you see an iPhone 13.
I think the port selection opportunity is a fantastic win, because you and I have very, *very* different wants in terms of "normal" laptop ports. The swappable ports mean that you and I don't need to demand different products.

- Charging port? Agreed.

- Card reader? Nope. I haven't used a card for data storage in a decade.

- Headphone jack? Nope. One is built in, but I've switched to bluetooth headphones, so I wouldn't waste a slot if it wasn't.

- HDMI / Display Port? Nope, see the comments below about a hub.

- Ethernet? Nope, see the comments below about a hub.

I use a USB-C hub at home and at the office. They have an HDMI port, an ethernet port, power in, and two USB-A ports for my mouse and keyboard. I leave them at the desk, so I just have to sit down, plug in the one cable and I'm ready to go. I can drop down my Macbook or my Framework in the same spot and I'm ready to go. It's convenient enough that I don't understand why you wouldn't want to go with a hub.

My older Framework only has 4 slots. One slot is USB-C for power, video, keyboard, mouse, ethernet, etc. My second slot has a USB-C FIDO key in it. The other two slots are for.... uh.... nothing? I keep USB-A slots in it just so that the bays aren't empty.
I think that's easier to say if you have a good sense of your own positives, but I don't think I have any.

Xanadu comes close to this "ferengi Internet" mindset with some of the tactics it chooses for monetization of content, albeit from an entirely different angle (enabling remix culture more or less indiscriminately while preserving the sanctity of the existing copyright system and enabling royalties to flow to authors proportional to how their works are used and reused).
> the adapter/cable would have to figure out which one the connected host wants to speak and wire accordingly

There are two straightforward ways to avoid that and allow passive adapters/cables.

1. Use the two "Identification/control" pins to run the low speed lane.

2. Use both sides when supporting USB 3.
