When is the last time you saw a jury nullification? I agree, juries should be able to overturn convictions if they think the law is unjust, but that simply doesn't happen. The entire legal system is very careful about choosing and guiding jurors to judge based on the law, not to judge the law itself.
The position that we are not going fast enough is also not without merit.
Building a Faraday cage is an afternoon woodworking project. You can build them in your garage or bedroom with hand tools if you wanted. You don’t even need a huge room, a portable phone booth sized space could be mass produced and delivered on site. A Faraday Booth might take a few dozen square meters of copper mesh and some basic lumber, drywall and finishing efforts. If it took more than $10k per office I’d be shocked. This is something simple and cheap enough it could be something a local director or manager could charge to their company card and assembled themselves if they really cared.
Spectrum is the wrong term though. Autism is a manifold with at least 5 independent axes.

DAW innovation will only come with inventing new algorithms.

There needs to be significant number theory and computer science algorithmic work related to sound and how we represent sound with data.

GPU's currently cannot work with sound data in the processing chain, and multicore is basically just used to scale horizontally (ie to have more plugins or instruments)

New algorithms are needed to scale out audio processing, as well as make use of new hardware types (for example, using the gpu)

I mentioned this on the last aspartame thread, but there is a significant correlation between obesity and the introduction of aspartame in Diet Coke. Unfortunately, the data was inconsistently taken in the late seventies through early 90s, but something happens between the last data from the early 80s to the first data from the early 90s that caused obesity rates to accelerate as never before seen (if anything, severe obesity was declining going into the 80s). https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/obesity-adult-17-18/obe...

There is literally billions of dollars to astroturf the safety of aspartame.

I don’t know if there is a correlation with Autism, but it does not seem completely inert either. I also have a hard time believing statements like - it can only do the following things to the body. We were told similar things about mRNA (can’t travel outside the localized muscle area, destroyed by the body in x many days, etc.) that may have been true in a lab, but was not in practice.

Just because someone has a history of being deceitful and making up things to further their own agenda, that doesn't mean we should discount everything they say - especially when it's an extraordinary, n=1 result in the case of a complex disorder.

And honestly, it's kind of disrespectful to bring up someone's history of grifting in this context. We should trust each other more, not less, and that starts with believing people who suggest suspiciously easy answers to questions that have hitherto resisted easy answers.

> odds were tripled for autism (OR = 3.1; 95% CI: 1.02, 9.7)

This is scientific malpractice! The most ridiculous confidence interval I've ever seen! 1.02 to 9.7, reported as "tripled", seriously? And of course the data is non-blinded, self-reported survey responses recalling events that occurred many years ago, and the analysis is not preregistered and splits the cohort in an arbitrary way to eke out so-called "statistical significance" (by the slimmest imaginable margin, 1.02 > 1.00, just barely).

How can this dreck be published? Everyone involved should be sanctioned. And everyone who took this headline at face value should seriously reconsider their approach to consuming science news.
Sounds like propaganda. Do you have any evidence of this?

Perhaps. I don't think this reflects anything unethical on the part of Google, but it does represent that market dynamics aren't working.

The point of antitrust isn't so much to punish bad people as to make for efficient markets.

Under mainstream economic theory, Google ought to be regulated. That's good for everyone, Google employees and most Google investors included (by numbers and not dollars; most Google investors hold diverse portfolios).

If the industry and economy as a whole grow, at the expense of Google, both my overall investments and my job options improve.

Corporations aren't human beings with moral rights, and laws are there to keep them beneficial and efficient, but to preserve some abstract corporate freedom.

People think they are making all these decisions on a rationale basis. But humans, including software engineers, are herd animals.

The drive to conform will push humans to do all sorts of irrational things. I still use vim (neovim) despite decades of hating certain things about it.

I think also that many developer's only real way of judging engineering is whether it conforms to certain stack or process patterns that they have heard of. Use the wrong stack or leave out some process and in their eyes you must not be a serious engineer. They aren't capable of or interested in looking into the details of the requirements and execution to judge you.
I don't think people should worry about it like it's an upcoming disaster, but we should question whether lifestyle choices that do not include or make it significantly less likely to have children are robbing us of important aspects the lifecycle and living a full life.

I can believe a correlation with obesity, but the mechanism for autism isn't necessarily the same. I don't think the psychological mechanism of "I had a diet coke, so I'm entitled to have some more dessert" applies equally to having autistic children.
> Diet Coke, which contains significantly more caffeine than regular Coke

I'd never heard that before, but you're right -- "Coke contains 32 mg of caffeine per 12-ounce (335-ml) serving. Diet Coke is higher in caffeine, with about 42 mg per 12 ounces (335 ml)." [1]

I wonder why that is? If people expect an energy boost from Coke, and if sugar isn't contributing to that any more, a little extra caffeine will?

Coke Zero, on the other hand, "contains only 34mg of caffeine per can (12oz)" [2]. So it's more like regular Coke.

> There is a reason why the open-source world has concerns: the legislation indirectly defines who is responsible for the security of open source and who should pay to improve the current state. In addition, it puts the responsibility on individual developers and foundations hosting open-source projects instead of the manufacturers of goods embedding the software.

Why is this a concern? If you are unable to produce high quality, safe software, then don't make it publicly available for use. If you make something publicly available for use, you should be liable for maintaining it and any damages that software causes due to bugs. No different than if I were to make some crappy fire extinguishers and hand them out to people for free. No different than if I were to build a little bridge over a river.

Does the choice of banning aspartame have to be "do you want more obesity, or more autism?"

Aspartame and added sugar would both be scrutinized in this hypothetical future where we are bit more cautious.

The answer is to probably ban aspartame if there is good reason to believe it is harming us, and/or tax sugary drinks until their negative externalities on society are paid for.
The legislation that let corporations put chemicals into the environment and say “Oops, sorry” is the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, which allowed the EPA to order testing of chemicals and order to reduce their use or pull them from the market.

This was overhauled with the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act of 2015, which requires the EPA to make safety determinations of new products hitting the market. It however ties the hands of states. If the EPA rules a chemical as having no unreasonable risk, states have no authority to regulate it [1].

On that end I've seen a couple transparent migrations & have been working on less transparent ones too (such as pg11 eol). This handling of mariadb casts a bad light on the db services as a whole that doesn't match what I've seen previously
A DAW is an all-in-one tool for composing, recording, arranging, mixing, and more. There are several factors that make this coupling necessary - the high performance requirements of DSP, the lack of better standards, and subject matter expertise.

To innovate in the space, we need an ecosystem of interoperable tools which can be used seamlessly to perform the same tasks reliably.

I think of the paradigm shift between apache http server and nodejs. Does the server run the code or does the code run the server?

If DAWs switched to the nodejs model, what would be the entry point?
That definitely has value if the politicians subsequently listen to the advice. In the UK at the moment that is sadly unlikely.

I hope someone builds a management consultant gpt to find out.

Until then, our leaders, experts and institutions were few of those things during the pandemic.

How large businesses are built and run has changed faster and more in the past few years than the principled predictions of a business’ future vector that are based on lagging indicators.

It also depends on how cookie cut the management consultant frameworks and “toolkits” are.

It’s no coincidence that it’s mostly juniors doing so much of the work and billing. New or average talent is more profitable per hour to bill than experience.

Financially, if $7-8 of every $10 for improvement went to a management consulting undertaking, the other $2-3 is what’s left over for the rest without even knowing. This would be the coup, if this were true.

The fun part to watch for is is tech people will be able to learn business easier than business people will be able to learn and apply tech when they can’t understand it’s capabilities or possibilities beyond speaking points.

The technical analyst will M&A the business analyst. Maybe they learn to extract Management Consultant type value too.
Excuse the nitpick, but the lead Romans used for plumbing was acquired from the environment. The Romans didn't introduce it to the environment, they just moved it from one part of the environment to another. This is different from chemicals which are created for the first time ever by the chemical industry.

Incidentally, the lead wasn't really being mined to make lead pipes. They mined galena for the tiny amount of silver it has and got tons of lead from that.
Squatting is also a problem in France, but in addition it is strongly supported by mainstream political parties.

Logic Pro X is the DAW I'm most familiar with and while not "AI", it's "Drummer" plug-in is uncannily good. So good it's indistinguishable from AI. I want more of that. Give me "Bass Player" and "Keyboardist" and "Guitarist", etc, with all the options that "Drummer" currently has, to select style/genre, kit sound, etc.

Another wish list item: Let me point the DAW to a 4/8/16 bar section of multitrack original music I've created, and suggest n number of directions to take it, spitting out each of the individual instruments on their own tracks, so I can mix/match/edit. My imagination is limited; that's where I'd like AI to help.

By the way, HN's title editing makes the title appear a bit strange. Of course flip-flops are implemented in the processor. The article describes how they are implemented.
It depends on the use case. I have several I put around the house with sensors for IoT stuff. ESP32/8266 (and newer) devices would probably be less expensive since they don't need an SD card but are more work to program. The Zero has a full OS with dev tools built in. But for running a desktop, they're not so good.

They're not as cheap any more at $15US for the Zero W. I miss the days when Microcenter had them on sale for $3.14US on Pi day. They did recently have them priced at $10 to celebrate the grand opening of a new store.
(1) The process of introducing new artificial sweeteners has always been slow.

There was huge controversy over aspertame (discovered 1965, limited approval in 1983) in the first decade even though the only solid case against it was that it is bad for a handful of people who have the genetic defect PKU.

Sucralose was discovered in 1976 and wasn't approved in the US until 1998.

The strangest case is Stevia which, since it is a natural product, has gotten into heavy use without really being approved as a food additive. (Loose Stevia rebaudiana leaves make a nice sweet tea combined with Camellia sinensis I'll grant that.)

(2) If you were trying to psychologically manipulate people, "autism" is the threat you would use.
> We really need to change the regulations around the introduction of new chemical compounds to our environment on a mass scale.

What specific studies should we have done to notice this association? What specific safety studies need to be done before introducing a new chemical compound into our society?

Historically speaking, the only conceivable way they would have learned this if they feed aspartame to pregnant women and then studied the offsprings. This is fine for a final testing phase of safety, but is inhumane to do unless you are incredibly sure it is safe. Animal models for studying autism are flawed, and wouldn't come at all for decades after aspartame's introduction.

In modern testing, we could theoretically generate a super long list of safety checks to do. This test might look like raising a large generation or two of the specific line of mice used for studying autism. Then checking the offspring autism rate of those exposed to aspartame compared to a control. This would be a single checkbox every new chemical compound would need to do, and there could easily be tens of thousands of similar tests that would need to be done. We would need to add to the list overtime, as our understanding of optimal human health improves over time.

Imagine the investment required to pass these safety tests. It's a minimum price tag of 25M, if the safety tests are standardized and lab techs are trained on them and do them in an assembly line like fashion. I wouldn't be surprised to see the cost be 10-100x. At that level of investment there's two issues. The number of new chemical compounds added into our lives will move to a very slow rate. The other problem is this is just the safety test portion of R&D, after spending so much money this seems like a likely target for corruption and my skepticism for the results of such a test will be high.

For a business user. Are a business user? Do you understand the needs of the business user? Do you have the same needs as the business user?

My answer on that for you would be a solid 'No' for all questions, because you are a home user.

> IBM confirms that Macs are $535 less expensive than PCs

LOL. You just searched the Internet and copypasted the first article which suited your anecdote? The thing you quote is the title and can't be found in the article.

Now let's actually read the article and bash you:

>> But isn’t it expensive, and doesn’t it overload IT? No. IBM found that not only do PCs drive twice the amount of support calls, they’re also three times more expensive. That’s right, depending on the model, IBM is saving anywhere from $273 - $543 per Mac compared to a PC, over a four-year lifespan. “And this reflects the best pricing we’ve ever gotten from Microsoft,” Previn said. Multiply that number by the 100,000+ Macs IBM expects to have deployed by the end of the year, and we’re talking some serious savings.

Because you are a home user with a ten years old MacBook, you don't understand what:

There is only a limited variations of Macs ever. Because mighty A just don't make many variants. There are thousands of variants of PCs even from IBM/Lenovo itself, not even including the top dogs like DELL and HP/E. Less SKUs => less variants to support, less cost to support and... less variants if you need something what Tim Apple doesn't allows you to do.

It's over 4 year lifespan. Nobody keeps enterprise client hardware for 10 years. There is no analysis from IBM how much it would cost them to keep Macs for ten years.

Nobody upgrades the client machines in the enterprise. You surely 'upped' your 2011 MacBook with more memory, SSD drive and whatever, right? Well, in the enterprise you just get a new machine 3 or 4 years later. That's how they work. 'Old' machine + two new machines are cheaper than a 10 year old PC? Lol.

Oh and it's from $273. For a small subset of machines they replace with Macs ie most likely the notebooks for the lowest bunch.

And finally and most importantly: it's ownership cost for the enterprise. YOUR cost of ownership is essentially zero (do you pay yourself for the support calls for your own MacBook?). You are a home user. You are not a business user and ownership cost is not applicable for you, you don't have a helpdesk, you don't manage a fleet of MacBooks, you don't have the whole departments which works on supporting the hard and software for internal business users.
Your mentality (people are monkeys who can't make choices) is more responsible for people making bad choices than engineers at facebook. We can make choices to improve our lives! And the more convinced we are of that, the better choices we will make.
What a horrible statement. Who is ever certain? How certain are you? How willing to endure false claims are you, even if miraculously you have convinced yourself the work is flawless?

This is insulting beyond words. We think together with open source. Ideas are shared. The world iterates forward & we learn & improve, together. Saying we cannot open our mouths unless we have only the voices of the angels is a demonic silencing. Hard disagree.
