Since the goal of management is to provide shareholder value, could the current management be sued by the shareholders for basically destroying the long term value of the company?
I mostly agree. Especially with the alarm you are expressing.

I don’t like to be one sided, and certainly have heard people on the left falling for the idea that due process isn’t necessary to make important enough changes (in there opinion), I.e. supporting extreme judicial activism, institutional capture by ideologues, etc.

But elements of the Republican Party are preparing to wash away formal and legal limits and bipartisan/non-partisan fire walls to unfettered power for their faction, in an organized way, if they get Trump elected. [0]

A lot has been learned about the vulnerabilities of our voting and executive branch systems.

Those efforts are unlikely to evaporate post-Trump.

It is a rather scary time.

Scary enough for a recent Republican presidential candidate to express great worry about his own party.

That’s a colossal red flag.

And I see the far left’s less extreme loss of respect for the constitution as counter productively providing right extremists with soft targets for their own otherwise manufactured “alarm”.

Negative. It ceases to be adaptive to be a cheater when cheaters exceed a certain percentage of the population. The advantage comes from information asymmetry.

Law makes cheating less adaptive. But even without law, cheats would not exceed some small minority.

What does it mean to add temperatures though (serious question)?

Eg: Suppose (one of many subtly different scenarios) you have 1 kg of iron at a constant temperature of 20 C and 5 kg of Aluminium at a constant temperature of 15 C.

What does it mean to add those temperatures?
Huh. Ignoring the somewhat strained metaphor, you seem to be suggesting that you don't have moral responsibility for aiding the creepiness of professional manipulators because you also enable other things. I don't think that's true. But even if it were, it would only be so if it were a minimal, possibly negligible part of your business. What percentage of revenue would you say comes from adtech?
We don't have any free data for that. We have historical data that we sell as part of our custom enterprise deals. Historical data requests are rare, though.

A time series IP database requires a substantial amount of storage and computational cost to query, as I imagine. The city level geolocation data we have is ~1.5 gb in size. IP range data is complicated to query efficiently as you need to understand data platform settings and good amount of computer network math and computer science stuff. Adding a layer of time series complexities on top of that, makes this process quite difficult.

To give you some context of how IP metadata lookups work, you can check out this article

https://ipinfo.io/blog/ip-address-data-in-snowflake/

Even if you keep all your database in a binary format, the computational cost is still non-negligible.

Well, it depends on how you think of the license. Is it like you buy a license for a specific release or do you subscribe to a license to the software across all releases?

I don’t know. I can see how it would be ridiculous if Amazon said “oh, by the way, starting next year you have to pay a cent every time you finish any of the books you bought on your kindle”

But if Netflix went “starting next year, there’s a surcharge of 1 cent per episode you watch” nobody would go “surely it can only count for episodes released from next year!

Which raises an interesting question to me: what if a developer wants out of the Unity contract? Does that mean they have to somehow break games consumers already purchased so as not to be liable to install fees?
ActivityPub is fine as long as you're okay with a specific server owning your account and all your data. Many people just want that not to be the case.
I've been looking at HTMX. It's good for HTML/CSS/UX developers to add dynamic pieces to a multi-page application. However, It's quite different from what Nue attempts to be. Nue is meant for building both dynamic islands and full blown web applications. It's just targeted for UX developers and the JS developers can shift their focus more to the "back of the frontend" [1]. Ultimately Nue is going to be a complete frontend ecosystem and alternative to tools like Vite and Next.

People that “got loose” at company events never learned to drink socially, and instead binged. These people are always a problem, regardless of where.

The vast majority of the people at a drink up could handle it, but occasionally there would be the one troublemaker (and it was always the same person, although not always everytime) that simply couldn’t read the room, or couldn’t control themselves.

At official or unofficial drink ups, I’ve seen:

Someone have to have their keys taken away.

Someone have their keys taken away, and then bite — literally, angrily bite — the coworker that took them before running off into the night.

The worst event, I didn’t see happen, but saw the aftermath of. Someone got in a car (hopefully theirs), and proceed to jump the curb of the traffic circle in the office park and ram — and destroy — a nondescript abstract sculpture that was owned by whoever owned the office park.

I believe the last person was fired. Hopefully, that person got help, because that could not have been the first time for a trick like that.

Interestingly enough, all these events happened at the same employer. And yet, I still think fondly of those drink ups (though, not those instances).

It's a bit simpler than that. Musk used his power to block a US ally from achieving a critical objective in their war to drive out the invader.

And he was unwise enough to publicly confirm it was because he doesn't want Ukraine to win "too much" (my paraphrasing).

The failure of that particular mission is going to needlessly extend the war, cost thousands more soldiers to die or be injured, and so on.

A very cynical person might think it was more because Musk wants the war to drag on. Starlink can continue getting paid inflated amounts by the US military that way.

I'm not sure I'm quite that cynical personally though. ;)
this would be super helpful. I want a GPT for my slack, especially one I can have several different conversations going with at the same time. And then be able to search for my old convo when i realise something important GPT said a few days back.
Specifically, in that place, there was no need. And prematurely splitting it would have caused us to overthink and over generalize. Having a long, linear and tested function was a better choice.
I mean, I don't know who you are or what kind of concerts you go to but Fuck you I'll take the bait on this one. Maybe Tiny desk concerts are for you. Stadium shows need volume. Every show needs some amount of volume to create an experience for that genre of music. Back then I had to haul hundreds of pounds of gear in a van to create that sound for my band and now I'd just have to bring a suitcase and plug in to the house system. These days on stage is pretty quiet and the bands all have in-ear monitors but you have to move a lot of decibels to create an experience for any genre. It was behind the band on stage then and killed your ears and now it can be in front of the band and just point at the audience and I think it's better for everyone. It's always a physical experience and the sound volume is part of it. Have you ever been at a show where your favorite band was playing your favorite song and people are talking over the band and thought that was kind of annoying? Somewhere in between is a range of venues and experiences. Yes, it's bad for your ears but you're not going to sit around in a quiet lounge by yourself. Live music is loud. Yes it's probably too loud. My ears are fucked. Thanks for your comment! Sounds like you have a lot of useful insight for the whole concert industry. Have you run sound at a show? Sounds like you are qualified to hand out ear plugs and that's about it. I would gladly exchange my tinnitus for your bullshit snark.

The military is a welfare program for rural America - both via employing/housing/feeding hordes of poorly educated young white men as rank and file, but also employing all the people in the civilian sector who work for companies feeding the military's massive supply chain.

We don't have a draft because we don't quite need one; we just force people into poverty and leave the military as the only escape route.

If we had functioning social service programs, young men and women wouldn't enlist, and we wouldn't have enough "volunteers."

Actual social services are buried in endless red tape, regulations, restrictions, and endless challenges and demands to justify their existence....while the Pentagon will probably never pass an audit and is essentially an open fire hose where one can just say "JERBS!" and everyone is happy.

The farm bill is nearly as bad.

And guess who screams the loudest when coastal states want money for help with public transit, housing, etc? Rural America, which sucks from the teat the hardest.

And guess who the biggest single polluter / largest carbon generator in the world is?

The US military.

how is Google doing this ? i mean as opposed to Apple, ChromeOS has to support a much wider variety of chipsets/motherboards/wifi drivers, etc.

how is Google guaranteeing 10 years of updates on Linux while supporting newer and newer models every year.

In 10 years - Google's supported chromebook devices would exponentially blow up (versus Apple).

How are they pulling this off ?

What you are describing is the plot of a Liam Neeson action flick, and not how real life works. Revenge killings are not a thing or you’d read about them in societies with “lenient” punishments.

And if someone threatens your life in the moment you are entitled to reasonable measures of self defense, including killing the attacker if you can not avoid harm to yourself or others in another way, that is a completely separate issue.

I’m pretty sure a lot of these are cherry picked to paint a picture (not by you, but by the sources you have read). A lot of people are broadly against psychoactive substance use. The generous interpretation of why they are against it is because the rules of social interaction are set up assuming a certain level of mental presence and self control, and some psychoactive substances cause some people to lose the ability to consistently follow those rules. Blaming a propaganda machine for something with a simpler explanation is conspiracy theory adjacent (at least).

I don't think Hume's work suggests that causality isn't 'real' but that we can't prove causation using inductive methods. This isn't a problem unless our measure of 'truth' is proving some causal effect to be true. The solution is to pretend our models of causation are correct, run them and compare the results to observation. We never 'prove' the causal effect, but we judge its validity by how well it can predict future observations.

In my view the 'real' problem we currently have is that we cannot test hypothesis in isolation (Duhem-Quine thesis). Thus we rely on heuristics like "scientific consensus" to judge whether the hypothesis that make up a field are gaining predictive power or not. The solution to all these problems is to use the Lakatosian Method of Scientific Research Programmes to track a field's progress over time. Anything less than this just devolves into Kuhnian paradigms, which is basically a popularity contest to determine 'valid' scientific methods.

I think this 'real' problem can explain all the failures of modern science: the replication crisis, abuse of statistical methods, funding influencing results.

In theory you are correct: EVs are way easier.

In practice you are not:

- you need an entirely new software stack (the S-word makes car manufacturers break into sweat)

- you need an entirely new supply chain, or even worse for OEM-integration-addicted carmakers, build your own supply chain

- you need to secure a competitive priced volume battery source

- you can't just slap motors and batteries into an ICE frame. You NEED that last 50-100 miles that total system integration and design gets you in EV range

Yes. Nue is indeed HTML-based and takes inspiration from Vue. It is designed for UX developers who prefer to use HTML/CSS and minimal JavaScript to communicate with the business model layer, that the JS developers are building. That is: separation of concerns.

I can understand that this syntax is not a preference for JavaScript/TypeScript developers who opt to JSX and want to write everything (logic, layout, styling) in JavaScript.
Some devs did find it a code smell... But each scope had a clear short high level comment describing what it did, there were end to end tests for the method, and very little state flowed from scope to scope (some did) - because that's what scoprs do... Prevent variables from leaking.

My point is the code smell isn't always accurate, and there are times and even for 2000 line monsters other devs agreed that it was the best way to hide complexity away from the rest of the codebase in that case. If we ever needed to factor things out (we never did), we could spend some effort and do it.
Your claim is phrased like it applies to all projects.

In such case "the whole story shifts to how to retain their control of the project" is simply false.

Yeah, if you're paranoid about the key being stolen when generated, just unplug the network, boot a live DVD image, store it directly to a USB stick, and then unplug the USB stick before rebooting.

I usually don't go through quite so many steps, so if my machine was already actively compromised when I generated my keys, then the attacker has my keys.

For users of general purpose computers this is caused almost entirely by closed-source software. Most of the architecture-specific code is part of the operating system, and by the time you're doing an architecture transition the OS itself runs on the new architecture. The third party applications largely aren't dependent on a specific architecture but they're compiled for one.

With open source you could just recompile for the new architecture. Linux has always run on just about every one under the sun and the user largely can't even tell the difference. But if you don't have the source code you can't do that.

Closed-source systems could avoid this by compiling to bytecode, which is essentially what Android does, so transitioning to RISC-V would be much less trouble there than it would be for e.g. Windows.
With the vocore.io page getting popular earlier this week, I decided to look up more mainstream SiP, Modules, and so forth. I knew there would be other small Linux machines around though I admit I'm not very familiar with this product category.

This particular HaneSOM platform is based on the Microchip SAMA5D2 SiP. Microchip packages this SAMA5 in multiple says, this one is DDR2, but LPDDR2 and DDR3 are also available. DDR2 seems preferred for simplicity as all components would run at 1.8V. Though LPDDR2 and DDR3 would be lower power if you were aiming at battery constrained operations.

What was most surprising to me was the incredible amount of documentation and resources available for Microchip's SAMA5D2: http://linux4sam.com/ in particular.

This SAMA5D2 chip coincides with Atmel's AT91-Linux project, but it seems that this modern group has mainlined all of those contributions to the Linux kernel proper. The linux4SAM page includes 6.1.x kernels and build instructions. Microchip's documentation looks quite comprehensive as well, with a whole slew of application notes, processor manuals and PMIC manuals.

-------------

For those unfamiliar with the concept of a SiP: the 15mm x 15mm package is actually a printed circuit board connecting the CPU-core with DRAM. This has two advantages:

1. Simplicity, as DDR routing requires complex trace / impedance matching. By having the SiP handle this detail, the customer's PCB will be easier.

2. Size. SiP consistently make for smaller final PCBs.

HaneSOM further adds the PMIC MIC2800 (power supply) and a lot of capacitors allowing for consistent bootup. As well as the Flash chip for the bootloader, allowing for a comprehensive Linux-based solution.

--------

HaneSOM documentation states that this idles at 3.3V and 160mA. There are multiple sleep modes available but the power consumption is seemingly undocumented. The final size of HaneSOM is 20mm x 20mm.
Depends on whether Nue becomes relevant. New projects are obviously unknown to AI, but they learn as the world starts adopting them.
