Unfortunately, hardware is a hard solve for fixing things after its out the door, especially when the brainbox is the actual problem. Say i make a CPU and release it to the world. A bug is discovered 6 months later, after thousands have bought my CPU. I cant simply go "oopsie doodle, lets replace your cpu for free to fix the problem", as thatd kill business, and the returned CPU is effectively trash or a paperweight, because it cant be reused (without melting down, separation, etc). So, a new CPU is created, and a new generation of the chip is formed with the fix in place.

CPU mfgs have semisolved some of this through the use of microcode, which is a way to control the CPU workings, and do really 'stupid' things, like burning efuses, which is a what mfgs have designed to allow poking the chip by permanently setting values, and causing a trace in the CPU to literally burn, locking it in place. These are habdy for early things like disabling cores, locking frequencies, etc, but it comes with the caveat of you can only do it once. So again, back to the oopsie doodle. We might be able to pop an efuse through the microcode, if we thought ahead and knew there was potential for issues, but, that might bring other issues, like we see now (decreased performance, etc). And so, the only answer, is again, a new CPU and new generation.

Theres really no way around the rinse repeat cycle of hardware. What does chap my balls about the CPU industry though, is all of the crap we keep doing in the name of compatibility or because what we have now has been layered on a known "working" process for a long time. There are feature sets and design details that have been just stuck in the CPU since the dawn of the x86, and that is really where the problem lies. I saw a talk, or maybe an article ages ago that im unable to find; there are parts of the CPU that we just keep using over and over in the name of compatibility, which is a real problem. I wont go into all the compat things, but look how long its taken for RISC or ARM to really gain traction. Its because i cant simply take a copy of whatever program, and slap it onto a different architecture without lots of work, which is what removing some of these existing x86 features would effectively create.

I do think theres a good solve for some part of this, but i dont think its really the best, because of speed setbacks. If we take the "chiplet" approach, but modularize it, we can start replacing pieces of the CPU, without replacing it whole. For example, say we had a CPU socket that took a bunch of, what ill call "nanochips", which are the individual CPU components (individually replaceable cores, cache, etc), broken out into their own little chips. If a piece has a problem, say, a hardware level exploit not correctable by efuse, fixing it becomes much easier, and cheaper. This isnt a whole solution though, because evolution, and demand for more IO, speeds, etc. Things will always be changing.
No doubt. I spent three years in youth soccer and found a hard time staying present in the games but I look back with a lot of fondness in that it was an activity that I never got bullied doing.

I got into a fight with my RSS reader over whether or not soccer was interesting and my RSS reader won so I got a Peacock subscription to watch Premier League games (World Cup Rugby is an extra that I appreciate a lot though!)

I also picked up sports photography as a hobby because my office overlooks the sports complex and why not?

So I've been going to soccer games where I enjoy the crowd because it attracts a lot of international students, plus students that are generally engaged with sports, and students who played the youth game as well as a contingent of kids who play the game, show up wearing their jerseys, are as engaged as anyone, whooping it up, and even understand details of the games such as "offsides" that I still need to fully grok.

I don't feel like it is just going to "a game" but it is being part of a huge soccer universe that goes all the way down to kindergarten soccer and pickup games to the college games to leagues like the MLS, Premier League, Champions League (which are themselves usually part of a promotion/relegation hierarchy) and all the way up to the winners of the World Cup.

There's the enjoyment of a fan which I am deepening but also the analytical thinking that goes into effective photography, so I am thinking a lot about the quality of play at various levels and one thing I note is that at the lower levels a player can frequently kick the ball at the goal from a distance and score a goal but the higher up you get the better the goalie is at covering it so in the Premier League most of the time you see a very complex situation around the goal where both teams have gotten into place and the striker has to find an open path through the opposition that confounds the goalie.

I'd contrast that to the attention of the players in the field who are often running one way while looking back over their shoulder to see where the action is developing. At the games I go to the story I am looking for and find are individual players contesting the ball but the best teams in the Premier League such as Man City have a "system" and it is very clear every player knows where they are supposed to be and where the other players are supposed to be so they can keep possession of the ball for long period of times. Games like that hinge on one team being able to disrupt the other team's system or a the system team being foiled by a goalie that they can't quite outsmart and the non-system team just finding opportunities and scoring goals that are good if not "beautiful".

This is a little overstated, no?

I agree the economy is more complicated than simply money supply, but subscribe to Hayek’s view of the pretence of knowledge - that the central bank can possibly manage the economy better than the economy can manage itself. The problem with a small elite managing the money supply is that it isn’t predictable. We see them saying rates will be low for the foreseeable future and then a few quarters later start jacking up interest rates at the fastest rate in 40 years. Well, I guess it just sucks to be anyone that listened to the “low for long” guidance. But this uncertainty has a cooling effect on economic activity. If anything we should trust money supply to a predictable, simple equation rather than the whims of men behind closed doors.

I’ve been in the field for 20 years and I know the difference between what companies do and what theoretical papers say they do.

As the other person said, bids repeat across multiple auctions on the same keyword and even in a generalized second price auction optimally your bids are adjusted based on the expected dynamics of each auction. Based on past information and so on. In a first price auction you’d keep lowering your average bid until it’s on average right above the next bid. The next bidder would then increase their bids. You’d then do so as well. Etc. Etc.
My computer being one of those (rare?) architectures. Though I think it is not entirely dependent on the processor and the OS choice also affects this.
Curious, so giving in to the bait: why is this exactly?
I'm visually impaired but still have a lot of vision left, and I can tell you from firsthand experience that this is an area where Apple's approach to accessibility falls down for my use cases because Apple's approach to scaling means that

- their maximum font sizes for UIs are small
- UI scaling breaks more apps than on other operating systems because Apple emphasizes pixel alignment more than reflowing
- the unified menu bar means that app menus swallow up menu bar icons if you scale the UI up at all

My mother, who also still has some vision but is already legally blind, is in the process of switching to an iPhone after many years of low-vision Android use, can confirm that iOS has much the same problems, including small maximum font sizes and worse reflowing/cutoff behavior than she saw on Android. She's enjoying the transition overall because she's relying more on TTS than she used to, and also because the person who is training her on phone accessibility features knows iOS better than he knows Android.

But for me and my sister, who have the same disease as my mother but whose cases are not as advanced, Apple devices are a worse fit due to their inflexibility with respect to font sizes and reflowing, which makes taking advantage of our remaining vision more cumbersome for us, even though doing so is generally more efficient for us at this point.

Apple devices don't have moar accessibility than other devices. They have different accessibility than other devices. Whether they work well will vary for different disabilities, including different presentations or stages of the same condition. And the usability of those accessibility features is also mediated socially by things like what apps or kinds of apps a person needs to use, as well as what training and support happen to be available to them where they live and work.

This kind of feature checklist thinking you're doing is a profoundly impractical way of thinking about accessibility needs. Checklists have their place in all this, but accessibility needs in the real world are highly varied and contingent on nitty gritty specifics.

That Apple puts considerable resources into accessibility features is great, but it's not like there's a certain 'level' they can reach where there are no more gaps. More crucially, there's no level they can reach where criticism from disabled users is no longer valid or meaningful.
I was wondering about device compatibility. Looks like it will run on anything back to an iPhone XS/XR, although some of the features need newer hardware.
> Check the review! Check the rotten tomato score! Scour goodreads!

These things tell you if other people like the thing, not if you will like it. There's a keen difference you know, people can have their own opinions on things without taking cues from the crowd.

Looks quite nice.

If we are already by feature requests,

- JVM bytecode view

- JIT machine code view

- Select between OpenJDK, OpenJ9, Azul, GraalVM,...

- Enable code generation specific features per selected JVM implementation

Anyway only brainstorming some ideas, it is already quite nice as it is.

> "I suspect that a similarily configured Raspberry Pi 4/5 with all the accessories added on top would result in a price that’s quite similar to the cost of a top-of-the-line Zimaboard."

With respect to the author, why would you not take 10 seconds to verify this claim? A cursory Google search shows that an 8 GB Pi 4 with passive case and PSU is ~$100 all-in. If you can wait a couple of weeks the Pi 5 offers a nice performance bump (and PCIe!) for about the same price factoring in the official active cooler and case.
As someone that runs a PhD program in economics, I'd like to see "in a grant field" added to the title. It's completely different in fields with limited grants (those that hire TAs rather than GAs). One of the things I wasn't expecting when I started this position is the number of students that use advice from the sciences/engineering as if it applies to all fields. (And a lot of my email time is spent fixing those incorrect beliefs.)

> Most PhD programs in science and engineering will come with free tuition, a stipend, and health insurance.

Don't go if it doesn't come with funding. There should be a tuition waiver (not always a full waiver, I didn't get one), but...

> fees typically aren’t. This can still be a significant amount of money each semester

This really is ridiculous. They can be in the thousands of dollars. Make sure you subtract fees from the stipend. You might need to pay taxes on the full stipend, but not be able to deduct the cost of fees (I don't know current law).

> Again, program stipends will vary widely. Some may offer a stipend, but not guarantee it past 1-2 yrs.

This is a concern if you're funded by a grant. I know lots of programs that don't guarantee five years of stipend, because they aren't allowed, but in practice they'll do everything they can to keep funding you if you're making progress. That's because completed PhD's is a big deal when evaluating the research status of universities.

> health insurance. Most programs will offer graduate student health insurance. But, as with stipends, the monthly premiums and quality of insurance can vary widely.

If you can get insurance through your parents, you almost always want to go that route. I was surprised when I saw how much this varies from school to school. My employer covers 75% of the cost (one of the highest I've seen) but it still costs the student $700/year. As with fees, subtract the cost of health insurance from the stipend, but only after you determine the quality is sufficient for your needs.

We're still debating the control surface decision. There are two reasons for leaving things alone:

1. hardware surfaces have had different use conventions for a long time (certainly things that look like mixing consoles). They are effectively multitouch devices, and human interaction with them just isn't the same as with a mouse & GUI.

2. for Mackie Control Protocol devices, we already provide a nifty multi-target action there where you just press and hold one eg. solo button and then press another, to apply it to the range that was pressed.

We do not providing scripting for developing control surface support. I've written extensively about my thoughts on Reaper's scripting [0] and I remain conflicted by the questions it raises. There's nothing that can be done in Reaper via scripting that can't be done in Ardour via C++, and a huge amount that theoretically could be done in Ardour via C++ that cannot be done in Reaper. I know this is not a satisfactory answer for people who do not want to master (a) C++ (b) the build environment.

To me what stood out was how clean the audio was for a recording you'd expect to be covert. Yeah you've got the background noise slapped in, but the AI voice is nearly crystal with no change of volume, and there's no /phone mic bumping against someone's hand + pocket/ noises synonymous with the sort of recording you'd hear this in.

I cannot find this for the life of me but I remember in Corbyn's tenure during the whole "stupid woman" spat there was a video circling around Twitter + WhatsApp with cut up audio of Corbyn saying those two words slapped on top. It was simple, but to a lot of average folk who aren't experienced with audio editing and wouldn't even consider how fake it was, it might as well have been real. It's interesting how the game of detective has changed with the advent of AI audio & image generation, but bullshit travels faster than the truth, and those who could nip it in the bud are nowhere near close to the first people who share it
Just be honest, it will save you lots of pain down the road. I know getting the first customer(s) is hard, but don't lie to do it. They may not even care, and just want to know what they are getting into.

> And Photoshop is so much easier to do and requires much less skill than carving marble statues.

You are frankly missing the point. The issue isn't easier, the issue is crossing a threshold of easiness or scalability that means the problems can't be managed the same way as they were in the past.

For instance: the problem of revenge porn was severely limited before cameras existed, before the internet made mass distribution of photos effortless, and before image search engines made them easy to find. Digital cameras + internet distribution + search engines removed technological limiting factors, and made the problem significantly more severe and widespread. That change in severity lead to new legislation.

But with digital camera photos, there are limiting factors that make individual-infraction level enforcement possible: the perpetrator needs some physical access to the victim such that the victim usually knows who took the photo. Generative AI even removes that limitation.

That might no mean anything should change, but it does mean "LOL. I can find similarities between the processes so they're the same," isn't a reasonable response.

They aren't 'on the table' in any sense of the word. I'm not opening the papers every other week, and seeing yet another take on 'Restart the draft', and 'Cut the phone lines' proposals getting kicked around Congress.

They are kept as options in the event of hostilities, but unlike this ban (Which you use the same justifications to support), nobody's shouting that they need to be done yesterday.

> In a Jira workflow, there's a lot of customization required and a lot of thought needed to go into how to set up your workflow. Leantime is intended to be "opinionated" in the way that it's already set up

I'm not sure what this means entirely, but across our projects we have some with different workflows than the others. These are necessary in that we have certain workflows that must meet compliance requirements, and those workflows are the best way to ensure we execute those. In other projects, they are less onerous and apply to different kinds of work (so, different workflows.)

> Our "home" screen is intended for individual users to have pre-defined organization and not needing to set up their own dashboards

This is good, but we generally keep our exec leadership out of JIRA (they don't really have the context for the details.) Our users can design their own dashboards, but that's a personal preference. We use the standard views.

> making the goals and work more clear

I would prefer to see more fall-into-the-pit-of-success for the equivalent of JIRA stories to be more oriented toward the outcome or feature or capability, as opposed to the accounting/I-got-receipts feeling I get from JIRA. While story points are fine, I prefer a focus on clarity and a better measurement for effort than the subjectivity of a team's interpretation of the fibonacci sequence.

Other than as an interesting hobby project to see if you can do it (which is completely valid, I've absolutely done projects that, from a practical perspective don't make sense but I learned lot in the process), this doesn't seem worth it. Unless there are literally no open source Wifi smart bulbs, even after you fix this one, this cheap AliExpress bulb almost definitely has terrible heat management that will kill it far faster than an LED bulb actually should die (which seems to be a problem among cheap LED bulbs more generally and I can't imagine is better in smart bulbs).

If anyone has any experience with this though, I'd love to hear about it.
