If you're not shooting for perfectionism and won't bother to enforce a spar parts ban, then why propose a spare parts ban in the first place? Just ban the production/sale of new two-stroke machines, not the spare parts. As old machines wear the cost and effort of keeping them in service will eventually exceed the activation energy for buying a new machine. An unenforced ban of spare parts would accomplish nothing productive; it would waste your political capital and train a new group of people to have contemptuous disregard for laws.

With respect to the antique analogy, you have it completely backwards. Antiques are things which have outlasted their practical usefulness but are kept around anyway because people have some nostalgic or aesthetic affinity for them. Machine guns fall into this category; they are essentially fetishes (in the traditional nonsexual sense of the word). Virtually nobody is earning their living with machine guns. Two stroke motors on the other hand are in active use by thousands if not millions of people to earn a living. If they were in fact antiques, then they wouldn't be a problem in the first place because antiques aren't put to use. If you banned new production of two-stroke machines, the ones that already exist would gradually become antiques despite the existence of legal spare parts, and eventually the only people keeping them in running order would be the antique geeks who own it because they like it, not because they earn a living with it. The people who are actively earning a living with two stroke motors today are the people you [should] have a gripe with, the lawn care guys who run two-stroke leaf blowers in your neighborhood aren't antique collectors doing it for fun, they're guys trying to feed their children.

>I can imagine that with the rise of AI, you now have the basis of plausible deniability for insider trading:

>"The AI told me to do it"

Do you even need to use that as a defense? Doesn't the SEC have to provide affirmative proof that you traded on material nonpublic information? Have they ever convicted someone of insider trading on good trading records alone?

Otherwise, I don't really see how using an AI to launder stuff makes sense. You need to acquire that material nonpublic information somehow. Because it's nonpublic, you're probably going to have to go out of your way to get a hold of it, so that's how the SEC is going to nail you. Feeding a bunch of leaked quarterly earning reports into an AI isn't going to let you off the hook.
That's the problem right there: the Linux kernel situtation. As OP noted they just use the vendor's (long outdated) Linux kernel, with the vendor's (typically crap) kernel drivers. They just don't clean up that situation in that project, let alone try to mainline the drivers. It's where I thought I could help, but... see my other post on why that didn't work out.

With mainline-supported cameras using a standard API, a userland application that does streaming and all kinds of neat stuff is just much more doable IMHO.

They're not the only project that builds a ton of userland stuff on top of a rotten kernel foundation: oe-alliance has nine distros downstream from it, and hundreds of supported hardware platforms. As far as I can tell it's all ancient vendor kernels with un-upstreamable drivers.
Ask HN: Is it only me or everyone feeling flu when seeing an AI picture?
Hard to say.

I remember books going way back to the 1960s that parroted the line that young people are the most desirable demographic for advertising and I still see it today with that same mimentic intensity of the brainwashed soldiers in The Manchurian Candidate reading back the lines that were fed to them.

Since 2000 it is rare to see an ad on television for anything that a person of working age buys out of their own pocket money, though ads for things your insurance or government benefits pay for run wall-to-wall. (Ok, there is an occasional ad for a car dealer but if nobody was buying cars, who could get hit by a car and call William Mattar?)

I think it got bad enough that between 2005-2010 they pulled back a bit on the ads that make "wish that I die before I get old" because it was so offensive some people were quitting watching TV, but who knows, maybe it is one of the reasons so many middle aged people are suiciding.

Even today if you look at the ads on a lot of web sites, scam ads for seniors, that even specifically use the word "seniors" are the dominant kind of ad. ("e.g. intermittent fasting challenge for seniors" that you know has nothing to do with intermittent fasting but will lead to some video of somebody droning on for three hours and incredibly, somebody signs up for a scam supplement subscription that they'll never be able to cancel.)

Margins need to be up in order to pay for the increased cost of capital.
I think someone demonstrated in the announcement thread that, adjusting for inflation, the Pi5 is going to be cheaper at release than the Pi4.

Ultimately though, at least IMO, the Pi isn't about being cheap, it's about being capable while staying a great value. I bet there's a lot of hidden complexity in the pricing, and it's very possible that they'd have to compromise significantly more than 12.5% of the functionality/performance to get a 12.5% price reduction (to $35).
I work for an automotive company you've probably heard of. The per-seat pricing being within budgets is exactly why we're considering it as soon as the certification stuff is available.

Yes, there is nominally an enterprise sales pathway, but ferrocene wouldn't succeed there. That has a lot of difficult prerequisites and specific timelines that involve convincing manager's manager's (managers) that X is worth the cost and isn't going to have weird licensing terms e.g. preventing us from compiling open source code (a real limitation I've seen). The quickest way through that pipeline is if we already have a bunch of internal usage on prior projects to point to, or well-known public usage.
LSP is a double-edge sword. Indeed, it offers a quicker path from a zero IDE support position, which is a boon not only to language authors but also to the hosting IDE. MS I’m sure recognized the leverage potential of the latter. For them faster onboarding meant all the difference, and it worked.

The downside is the nature of LSP, which is to say it is necessarily a common denominator API. As a result a tool built on LSP-based API tends to be significantly inferior compared with similar tools built on comprehensive, proprietary APIs. For instance, the IntelliJ IDEA Open API illustrates this advantage quite well.

Thus, the economically rich tool authors maintain a clear advantage _if dev experience is the key differentiator_.
I think what GP is getting at is that you have to separate selection effects of university admissions from actual effects of the university.

The people who don't attend university are not in aggregate equivalent to the people who do - I think I remember seeing a study once that people who were admitted to MIT but chose not to attend had similar career outcomes (and incomes) to people who did end up attending MIT (as one example). In that case the signal was the selection effect of being admitted to MIT, not anything that MIT specifically did to help people make more money over the long term.

So attending University might look good on average and lead to higher career earnings, but it could just be a selection effect of people who would have made more money either way.

But that's not related to the tool anymore. You'll have the same issue regardless how you created that resource. Also, FWIW, I've been dealing with automation of services through Terraform and others for 2 decades or so and never ran into an issue like that. The one that comes closest is AWS certificate which requires either a parallel deployment or the first attempt to fail (if you're using cloudformation stacks anyway). Still - not a serious issue in practice.
That was a solid launch. Congratulations Project Kuiper! Godspeed on more launches ahead.

I enjoyed the ULA coverage of the launch. Nice and relaxing.

I'd also recommend PyO3 and Maturin. The amount of help these crates give is mind boggling (automatic type marshaling and even github CI jobs for creating cross platform precompiled wheels).

I've created a library using this crate (https://github.com/wiktor-k/pysequoia/) and most of the time I could just focus on the problem domain instead of technical details of the bindings.

There are just a couple of smaller issues (eg. Python to Rust async is not built in) but overall it's really nice.
Unlikely to happen.
What I don't like in Debian:

- 3rd-party software is not welcome; there is no mechanism for installing it securely because you are supposed to either install software from official repository or compile what you have written yourself. For example, if you want to install Sublime Text, or VS Code, there is no way to do it securely, without giving untrusted software access to your browser history and SSH keys. Of course, you can ignore security and run sudo curl http://script , but it doesn't guarantee that the installer won't break something. It is like we are back in 95 when every second program would replace system DLLs in Windows folder and break other software.

- there are third-party repositories, but they can cause conflicts and you better not use them, but there is no other way to install third-party software.

Third-party software is very important, I install OS to run it, and it surpises me that Linux is so unfriendly to third-party software, including closed-source software and doesn't provide means to install and run it securely and reliably and without making developers adapt it to every existing distribution.

- their bugtracker is email-based and as I don't use email it is completely alien to me. But maybe this is not bad because it stops most of people from posting bugs and saves time to reply to them.

I also tried Fedora, and here is what I don't like:

- they release a new version every 6 or 12 months and it is incompatible with older version, and you have to use a very weird way to upgrade: first, you need to install non-standard plugin (dnf-plugin-system-upgrade), then you need to download packages, then reboot into a temporary OS, then if everything is ok, it will create a new OS, and reboot into it. It looks complicated, easy to break and probably requires a lot of disk space, while Debian can upgrade everything in place.

- if a system component like Gnome is crashing, there will be neither log records nor crash dumps and you will never figure out why it has crashed

Also, APT is buggy when dealing with mixed 32-bit/64-bit packages: I wanted to install a package once and it suggested to delete half of the system to do it; luckily I have noticed that the package list is too long before agreeing. Why would package manager delete packages when I ask to install something, I don't understand. As a bugtracker requires using email, I didn't report it, and it would be difficult to reproduce this anyway.
Thanks for sharing, I found this passage from that book really insightful:

"We believe that as the price points come down, as the consumer market blossoms, design and fashion become even more important. Let me give you an example. This is [an image of] the most popular watch in the world. And it’s popular not because it tells time better than any other watch. It’s popular because of its design. I’ll give you an interesting statistic: ten years ago, the average American owned one watch. Because of design entering the watch market, today the average American owns seven watches. OK? Seven watches because of design. Because of fashion.

Now, when we dream, we dream of this. Right? [Audience laughs.] And one of the great joys that I found at Apple a year ago was the best industrial design team I’ve ever seen in my life. The designs for the new PowerBook G3 and the iMac—they’re all done inside Apple by some brilliant, brilliant, super hardworking people. And you’re going to see a continual stream of very innovative design out of Apple—I think the best in the industry by a mile.

These are four incredibly powerful, unique, compelling assets: the brand, the installed base, especially in the consumer and education markets, the ability of our design to really take these products into that consumer space of fashion, and the fact that our products are dramatically simpler to set up and use than our competition’s." -Steve Jobs Speech at Macworld July 1998
>(fusion) Conditional branching on x86 involves using an instruction that sets flags, and then a branch that jumps (or not) depending on flags.

On a plane, you may have to get up extra early, or still lose half a day. Especially in Central/Eastern Europe, the prices aren't that high really. And, as GP already wrote, you save on one night in a hotel, which may offset the entire difference.

Also, there is the environment. If that were factored in properly in the prices (and that's being worked on), the train would be a lot cheaper.

Do you think the hybrid office environment might change the equation a bit? The commute or not questions has a spectrum of answers now. If commuting norms drop from three days a week to two days a week, that's half the amount of congestion (from a certain source anyway), but it's also a drop in certain kinds of economic activities.

A tree could suck up water containing radon, but after you cut down the tree and let it dry under a shed for a few weeks that radon will be gone. It will have all decayed away because the half life is only 3.8 days. For firewood to still contain radon a few weeks after the tree was cut down, it must have a fairly substantial amount of uranium or thorium in it (constantly producing new radon.)

I'm sure many have the same feelings as you, however for me procrastination has always been (to use a college example not super relevant these days) "I'd rather do $A than $B, even if that means doing $B later means I'll do a worse job at it" where $B is something like writing a paper and $A is hanging out with friends or playing video games or something. I haven't much experienced the "I'd rather do $ANYTHING than $B because I might not do very well at $B regardless," at least not consciously.
The underlying problem seems to be that “status pages” are now marketing and branding touchpoints instead of sources of information.

> If employers want to fire everyone that is in a union, they too should be welcome to do so.

But... why? What would that achieve?

You seem to essentially be asking that unions should not have any legal protections to redress the intrinsic power imbalance between employers and employees.

But you fail to give any argument for why it should be _good_ that this power imbalance should not be addressed legally.

The new Tensor G3 in the pixel 8 is supposed to have encoding. Not sure if it's been officially confirmed though.
Oh yeah. I'd agree with that. Maybe the message that should be added to the beginning of the Design Patterns book is... "Some languages support different patterns than other languages. Not all patterns will be useful in all applications or programming environments."

Someone once told me Python supported OOP, so I tried to use Smalltalk patterns with Python. It was not pretty.
Usually developer of application tests it only with a specific version of a library. If you use another version of library, you need to carefully test it and fix all found bugs and I am not sure if Debian has resources to do it. So we can assume that they simply use untested combinations of libraries and hope that everything will be ok (it won't).
I still can't figure out how pg_trgm is supposed to work for multi-term searches and how to ensure the dictionary table it needs stays up-to-date. Is there a good writeup somewhere?
Most depressed people don't have strings of deaths following them wherever they go.

It is not unexpected of depressed people to blame themselves for bad things that happen around them, I think. …For multiple reasons, (1.) because you really do hate yourself that much, and might view those tragic events as also personal failures, and (2.) because for the suicidally depressed, it can be a way to manufacture a reason to believe why you deserve to be hated or physically injured.

IIRC the insulin levels or something were rather suspicious, but in general I sorta can't and shouldn't comment on the validity of rest of the case as a bystander. But when I read about that note in particular, my read on it was that somebody who actually did kill them versus somebody who just feels really bad about the situation and wants to vent in their own private space would write down the exact same thing in the exact same way with equivalent plausibility. She was a nurse, and babies died in her care; it is entirely plausible that, especially if she was already depressed, she would view that as being her fault and find some way to internalize the tragedy even if she didn't actually do anything to cause it.

And, IIRC, Letby did basically say that that was what she meant by the note— So, in sum, an innocent person who had been blaming themselves and a murderer trying to lie their way out of justice IMO would have written down the exact same thing with equal plausibility, and then tried to explain it the exact same way, which means that IMO that datapoint is basically useless for determining her guilt.

There was other evidence presented too, of course. I'm glad to hear that the conviction didn't rest on just that note, because given the situation, we don't actually know in isolation why she wrote that or what she meant by it— Most murderers try to avoid leaving confessions lying around to be used as evidence too.
High interest rates are certainly erasing some forms of irrational allocation that can’t be sustained under them (e.g. all the crypto stuff), but the collusion between firms on things like return to office, wage suppression, and price gouging is largely independent of them.
