> The C extension was an after thought and IMHO could have been done better if it were designed in from the start.

Not sure what you mean here: opcode space has to have been reserved for the C extension from the start, that part can’t have been an afterthought. It may have been badly designed still, but if so that must be for other reasons (working from a bad code sample is often cited).

> The encoding of constants into the 32-bit instruction word is really ugly and also wastes opcode space.

It kinda has to be to minimise fanout, and with it propagation delays and energy consumption. As a software guy I recoil in horror, but I can’t argue against faster and more efficient decoders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7EPIelcckk

> I'm also a fan of immediate data (after the opcode), which for RISC-V I would have made come in 16,32,64 bit sizes.

So was I, before I read the RISC-V specs. One possible disadvantage of separate immediate data is wasting instruction space (many constants are so much closer to zero than 127), making alignment issues even worse, and it could increase decoding latency. I would definitely do this for bytecode for a stack machine meant to be decoded by software, but for a register machine I want to instantiate in an FPGA or ASIC, I would think long and hard before making a different choice than RISC-V.
My point was not about whether the price of the cars is the right price. It was more about whether someone making $75K a year should be purchasing a $60K vehicle.
Yeah, same for American Football. If you really want to watch everything you need Sunday Ticket, some TV sub that includes ESPN, Amazon Prime and NFL+. This is definitely on purpose.

I just get Sunday ticket and head to the pub on the occasion that my team is playing a game not covered by that or antenna TV.

The NFL is good about letting local fans see their team. The monetary pain comes if you want to see out of market games.
I'm still mystified why companies hire a firm like McKinsey - they have no actual experience, but are telling people with experience what they should do.
Our household has a 2004 sedan with 140k miles, and a 2014 SUV about to hit 100k. Both fully paid.

I had a college econ professor explain that the best way to save money on a car is not to buy used (everyone's first guess). It's to drive it until "the wheels fall off." Depreciation is the biggest cost of car ownership and it stops at a certain point in a car's life. If the car is maintained well, several hundred thousand miles is even doable. I took that advice to heart.
We knew about casinos even longer. It doesn't compel us to go all-in on zero. And from the technical point of view bitcoin was maybe an interesting idea for the few early ears, and then it was clear that it failed for any legitimate use. It was true 10 years ago and still true today.

This has happened to my wife, an ICU nurse, a number of times.

> With the advent of ACME-based certificate authorities such as Let’s Encrypt, obtaining certificates is not at all hard for someone able to intercept and respond to traffic that is sent to your server, and in this case that’s exactly what happened.

This was easy even before ACME/Let's Encrypt, as several CAs would validate domains using HTTP-based methods similar to ACME's HTTP challenge. These methods were usually less secure than ACME, as CAs would send HTTP requests to non-privileged ports, or use URLs that weren't under .well-known, or allow a validation of www.example.com to be used to issue certificates for example.com.

ACME did not make anything less secure or more convenient for attackers. Rather, ACME raised the bar.
Mine too. Granted, neither could run without another few grand pumped into them (my dad thought he was being frugal).

I run an overkill system - a dnsdist instance provides clients on my network with DoH and standard port 53 resolution. Dnsdist forwards to a PowerDNS recursor for resolving internet hosts with root hints. Additionally, the recursor uses a custom Lua script with a Redis backend for firewalling against requests, responses, and nameservers encountered during iteration, and then all traffic is logged through protobuf interfaces with automated analysis that tell's me nothing I don't know since I live alone and baseline everything.

All outbound port 53 TCP/UDP is also forwarded at the firewall through this setup.

> You can not do this on android as truecaller would refuse to move forward without permissions.

Then it's only iOS that allows that. My point still stands though because the commenter said that "android and iOS" allow you to do this but they don't.

Back when Android allowed you to root the phone, XPrivacyLua let you spoof granted permissions so that apps thought they were tracking data that was actually fake. But now you can't do this. Some distributions like GrapheneOS and maybe LineageOS also let you do this nowadays, but it's still not enough.

Try the Netherlands. You can do a spousal visa with an unmarried partner, and if you come in on a highly-skilled migrant visa, your partner can do any kind of work. If you can apply to and get a job with a software company who can relocate you, that would be optimal.
> wouldn't this incentivize confidently guessing (making stuff up)

Making stuff up is not the same as honestly making statements that you believe are correct, but which are actually wrong. In the latter case, the person (Pichai in this case) could give reasons why he held that belief (for example, so and so gave him a briefing on the feature and he understood them to be telling him X). In the former case (guessing), he wouldn't; he would have to admit under oath that he just made the stuff up. I don't know if that technically counts as perjury, but it certainly doesn't seem to be consistent with giving testimony under oath.

Congress bears some responsibility in that case; they should stop calling in the CEO for the hearing, who they know won't know the nitty-gritty technical implementation. They should request documents from the technical team involved, and subpoena a representative from it who can speak confidently on its function.
> Does anyone know what is driving this?

Mostly supply and demand, but it is true that pickups these days are a ton nicer than the cheap and functional single cab, 8 foot bed, rear wheel drive, roll-up windows trucks of yore.

And to be fair, $90k is on the extreme high end of the market currently. I could drive down to my local Ford dealer right now and for $90k, a F-150 Raptor could be mine. It has 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, goes 0-60 in less than five and a half seconds, and can carry five grown adults in scrumptious comfort, as well as having a somewhat usable bed for cargo. No one can deny that it's a nice product, though whether it's worth $90k depends on the individual. I certainly wouldn't pay that kind of money.

Most F-150s available on the lot right now are in the $40k range, which is still way more than what I would like to pay, but it's comparable to many other vehicles. That same money would get you a nicely optioned midsize SUV, a sporty car like a Mustang, or an EV on the cheaper side.

There are a few different things all combining to create 100K+ trucks

1) Many people just like driving a truck as their vehicle. Many of those people are wealthy enough to drive 100k+ vehicles. They like a truck, they just want one with a fancy interior.

2) High value trucks are extremely profitable for OEMs. The margins are huge since the engineering and tooling is amortized across a ton of lower cost and fleet trucks, so there is big incentive to have the best luxury truck as it's a license to print money

3) Tax incentives for 6000+lb vehicles that were intended for truly commercial vehicles. Didn't envision Escalades and luxury trucks being used by regular people and not for hauling goods.

4) Buying vehicles based on monthly cost rather than total. 7-8 year loans keep the monthly cost on huge value trucks pretty reasonable

The dark side of touch-screen tipping
JWST has at least justified itself with the excellent performance and better than expected predictions for its lifetime (since it is limited by the cooling and station-keeping fuel).

SLS has no such justifications forthcoming. It's too rough of a ride to launch any scientific probes on, it's too expensive for private launch, they can't make them fast enough to do more than 1 launch per year (without pouring more untold billions and decades into it), and the only reason it's even involved in Artemis is because Congress insists on it. Even putting Starship aside, between Falcon Heavy, F9, New Glenn, Vulcan, Neutron and maybe Ariane 6, the West has so much lift capacity available or coming online (mostly drastically cheaper than SLS) that SLS is kind of irrelevant.
> Today, the theme is CI/CD, which translates into "figure out how to keep an overstaffed engineering department occupied long after they delivered the working system". [...] with the intention to keep the department occupied

I disagree on this causal part: That malaise does not exist because Machiavellian engineers created a job-security program stealthy enough to persistently escape action from bean-counting executives.

Instead, it's caused because other business stakeholders are paying a premium in order to avoid deeper commitment of some sort.

A few examples:

* They want to avoid the risk of a big innovative product that may be a similarly-big flop.

* They can't bear to drop any customers by streamlining the product, always adding bells and whistles to appeal to the potential client du jour.

* They are unable/unwilling to spend/risk political capital in substantially altering how their own corporate structure operates.

* The company's leadership isn't capable of making different business-units work in harmony so the software becomes a slow battleground/mediator of their competing interests.
I don't think they will be around for long. Their products went from being the highly anticipated to most trashed for being totally non functional and hostile behaviour towards customers.
Surely there is some pattern for these attacks? Where are they coming from?

I think it's fair to say a lot of people bought "too much car" but I completely agree we need better public infrastructure and not be forced to pay the US car tax.

Having experienced the public transit systems in Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, and the midwest US. It's entirely obvious who is failing.

Though, despite our short comings, in a lot of cities it _is_ possible to use public transit, I did for years and it sucked and I had to compensate with Uber more often then I would have liked but at least I didn't have a car payment (in hindsight I should have just bought a car, but it was a humbling experience that I don't regret.)

Their whole business model is taking smart, malignant, experienced people and convincing senior leadership to outsource responsibility for something crucial but obscure (from the leaderships perspective) to them, then installing a lot of smart well spoken but inexperienced people into the organization in a giant bait and switch with the authority to drive strategy but the inability to craft a useful strategy. Over time they work to pit leaders against each other to drive a wedge they can fill with more people. After enough of this they can create a permanent dependency on McKinsey consultants until the board gets sick of the ineffectual leadership that’s been divided and conquered by McKinsey and hires McKinsey to devise a turn around, recommend new leadership, etc, as slowly the once proud enterprise devolves into a McKinsey zombie driven by inane process garbage rather than a vision. Somewhere along the way a private equity gets brought in by McKinsey and the transformation is complete.
I use bash, find, sed and awk every day, usually ten to twenty times per day. I've also built a lot of scripts for my company's workflow with those tools.

I've never read the manual for any of these. They all work on the same concept of lines and words, which is intuitive and easy to interact with on the terminal.

Piping strings and making lines and words the units of work are the great ideas of UNIX.

I sometimes use python instead, but while it yields better programs, it takes a lot more time and just isn't suited to being written in the shell, especially with the syntax being whitespace-sensitive.

This is a tangental subject but I disagree. I think this is one of the many excuses used by people who feel pressure to be entreprenurial but in their hearts are not risk-takers. And that's OK -- the world needs a lot of people who work for others.

I think the answer might depend on your ISP and where you are based in the world

In the EU/aligned countries, selling your data and injecting shit into DNS is very much a frowned on thing. More over, as there is competition, you can migrate away to some other ISP that isn't shit.

I currently use my ISP's DNS as an upstream, as they are reliably, fast and not shit. I'm temtped by adding a pi-hole. But I've not fully tested it yet, and I'm reluctant to migrate away from pfsense's DNS, as I have lots of local hosts that need resolving.

It's very hard to say, but IMHO the best thing that governments and public health officials could have done (and could do) with this whole scenario is just ... lay off ... on these people once the majority were vaccinated and Omicron came on the scene and the vaccines were shown not to be "sterilizing" against it. Putting pressure on past Jan 2022 or so simply became counterproductive.

To be clear: I think the vax skeptics/opponents were wrong. I've had every one of them I could get as have my kids. And I've still not caught COVID, over 3 years on (or if I did it was so mild as to be undetectable.) I think the vaccines are great.

But these people have been backed into an ideological corner, and they're behaving like anybody when they're cornered. It is now best to back away, because we are now dealing with another kind of contagion because many anti-vaxxers became ripe pickings for formerly unrelated far right, conspiracy type radicalization.

I think there are many lessons for public health officials here for future campaigns.
The extent to which Musk just picks up trash takes on right wing media shows how easily he is manipulated, and, if predisposed to those views, how lazy he is in expressing it by being so unoriginal.
In a trial for perjury, the person would be asked, under oath, how they came to believe the information they claim they believed when they gave the testimony that is under dispute. If they actually just made it up or guessed, they would either have to say so, or commit perjury by lying about it. And if the lie was, for example, that so and so gave them a briefing and they understood them to be saying X, then so and so would be called as a witness and their testimony about whether such a briefing took place, and what was said if it did, would be given in evidence.
A lot goes into making a successful startup, yes, but idea quality still matters.

I’ve spent a lot of time in my local startup community as well as attending bigger startup conferences. I’ve witness a lot of startups with fantastic execution and highly polished products fail because very few people wanted to pay for their product. Some times no amount of iterating, moving fast, and staying lean can make a business idea work if the demand can’t be conjured up.

In my experience (in my non-US country) doctors don't make much use of heart rate for diagnosis at all.

We check things with a pulse oximeter when feeling unwell and quite often we see elevated heart basal rates associated with infections, uncorrelated with body temperature. These tends to correlate quite fell with feelings of tiredness/uncomfort. I found it interesting that doctors most of the times feel entirely uninterested with this.

The world is still visiting the Huawei stop on the journey to consolidated, commodity networking hardware.

Go to your AWS dashboard and set up a VPN gateway. There are about 15 different vendors for which AWS can generate router configuration.

Software has basically consolidated around like 5 platforms for 95% of problems: the browser, Android, AMD64 in data centers running functionally fungible and undifferentiated Linux distributions, Windows on AMD64 on PCs, and iOS native. Gaming consoles & "CUDA" making a strong showing after that, but if that all vanished tomorrow, people could play games on Windows computers and ChatGPT would be way way more expensive.

Then there's a long tail of weirdo crap that will die as quickly as it came to be, supported by people who conflate "existence" with "making sense."

All of networking hardware is weirdo crap platforms! Networking people are going to come out of the woodwork like audiophiles, talking about P4 and eBPF and whatever. I'm sure Nokia Router OS or whatever it's called is very innovative. There used to be a lot of PC vendors too! At the end of the day none of those differentiators are protectible, and they are fundamentally laundering free innovations done by a very small number of people, like Linux Kernel developer. They will not stick around.
