You can have that level of quality and care for the entire car, not just limited to the drivetrain and electronics, and it's probably even in a showroom right now waiting for buyers, just at your nearest Rolls Royce dealership.
Philip Zimmermann a while back was working on a secure phone product called the Black Phone. I tried to convince him that a secure phone should not contain any microphones of any kind. That sounds a bit weird for a phone, but it's ok, if you want to make a voice call, just plug a headset into it for the duration of the call. He wasn't convinced, but this iphone exploit makes me believe it more than ever.
They’re built out of plastic because it’s $0.02 cheaper than a metal part and 99.9% of them last through the warranty period.

It’s not deliberate that they make stuff that fails, they build stuff that lasts only as long as it needs.
i am not sure i agree some of those book are a bit too hardcore

- Knuth, The Art of Computer Programming
- Pierce, Types and Programming Languages

And its too unix focused, too systems or low level programming focused
there is a lot more to programming than mastering unix and c

I think this list needs

- A Python book
- A SQL book and a Relational DB book
- Some windows and unix admin books
- A book about testing and CI/CD
- A book about computer security
- A Machine Learning book
What do you mean? Both the GPU and CPU design are proprietary to Apple. They used to use regular ARM designed cores but the last one of those before switching to their own core design was something like the A5 days (from memory). It uses the ARM instruction set but isn’t actually designed by ARM at all.

Similar for the GPU too. They may have started with HDL licensed from others (like I think their GPU might actually have been directly based on the PowerVR ones they used to use, but I believe the ARM one is basically from-scratch) but this vulnerability seems unlikely to have existed since then…

The most recent enhancement to Worldcoin’s World ID capability is the 2.0 version.
Brazil, France, and India no longer have access to Worldcoin’s offline orb verification.
The Orb, a hardware device made possible by the Worldcoin project, is now available to Singaporeans for verification purposes, marking a significant step forward in the global movement for proof of personhood. The Orb is a piece of specialized hardware that the project team uses to improve identification verification.

The project is moving on with its cryptographic initiative as the news spreads around the crypto industry today. In addition, this change comes after December’s public release of the Worldcoin iris recognition pipeline and the successful launch of World ID 2.0.

You’re begging the question. Just because people who study the same objects as culture, tradition, and religion, call their field a “science” does not mean we have to accept their terminology. I would call their field something more akin to theology, with the use of numbers being a sort of ritualistic exercise. Gay’s presidency is consistent with that—it simply abandons the pretense that those trappings actually matter to the field.
Well I do, some of them. But only for studying a few specific topics.

I used to have the copy of TAOCP vol 1 - 3, and eventually only read vol 2 because I was interested in (pseudo) random number at that time.... :D
Anderson, Security Engineering (Wiley) would make an excellent addition to this list.

(The blog post omitted anything infosec saying the field is “part of QA” but it’s not like this list is pure CS — a lot of engineering topics aka “applied computer science” are on the list already.)

Security economics is important when building real world software because one has to know one’s enemy in order to decide what to defend against. It is literally the most “street fighting” topic in the field.

The pure philosophy of free software is socialist like. Or communist if you want to say. It has its role if you buy it. But the creative people might want a different take. Hence gpl 3.0 is so hard to get adopted even if you are on the free software camp. It goes quite far to some.

Somehow we have to find a way to be market as well. Not pure market. But somehow a mix. This mix takes time as the whole idea of open/free source is new approach vs patent/copyright (general even open/free is a kind of copyright or copy left)/secret or abandon/share/public.

Need a mix model.
Right, the employees would have to be liable to their bosses. Their bosses would have to be answering up the chain, to congress and the president.

Presumably, for a regulatory agency to be held to a deadline, they would need to outline up front (or with reasonable notice) all of the things they would need to know and the inspections they would have to make. Those time tables would have to be defined early on.

This is where the idea breaks down.

How does a regulator devise a fixed schedule to regulate a novel technology?

How do you hold government employees accountable without upsetting powerful interests like politicians and unions, or get staffing funded properly on demand?

How do you even get the government to hold itself accountable on something like this when the DOD can't even *complete a clean audit*?

We'll probably just keep winging it, badly.

This is not a weird objection. The companies distributing the "expensive insulin" also distribute the affordable insulin, and created the cost disparity. Something strikingly apparent to anyone interacting with insurance companies for any chronic condition.
The Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act exists precisely because sophisticated private insurers run a mile from fully insuring against these dangers.

Until the subsidy is repealed and taxpayers stops insuring it, the industry's frequent claims of its own safety ring kind of hollow.

It's particularly galling to see them cynically demand that safety regulations be watered down to bring down costs while the act still exists. Imagine if we made taxpayers responsible for cleaning up oil spills.
I really would like to street-fight with TAPL and Purely Functional Data Structures. Imagine a different world where competitive programming is about proving theorems in Coq and people play with finger trees instead of segment trees.
Arguably, the benefit is "less coal and CO2 in your family's lungs".

The military doesn't make you money, it makes you safe. The post office doesn't make you money, it ensures communication and logistics. Roads don't make you money, they undergird the economy.

Nuclear power doesn't save you money on your power bill. It establishes energy independence for our country and clean power for our atmosphere.
There's another important element: the ability to judge quality.

Many people (especially baby boomers) learned a shortcut, by using brand name as a proxy for quality of goods. The problem with this is that all those brands eventually outsourced and sold themselves and cashed in on the old brand quality association. Cheapening and cheapening as the producers realized that people still bought their product no matter what the quality was. Also, people equate flair and style of product with the quality, because they aren't actually good judges of quality. You can find many cheap junk products today that retain a poor skeuomorphic shadow of their former glory. At some point consumers learned "well if it has the shiny chrome it's a good one" and producers learned they could add a chunk of shiny plastic and people would prefer their product.

Brand names are worthless now, for the most part, and if you're not good at judging quality yourself, it can be a difficult consumer landscape to navigate.
I would say that science requires being able to formulate internally consistent theories that generate precise predictions of reality that can be falsified by experiment. Nuclear physics is a science. Medicine is barely one. Simply drawing rough conclusions from data isn’t science—that’s something everyone does.
Amazing. And even as a game …
It's beside the point, the point is, money and time were spent producing that work, so why should OpenAI just be allowed to take it and profit from it, without at least attribution? It's absolutely ridiculous.

I saw an article the other day where they banned ByteDance's account for using their product to build their own, can you see the absolutely massive hypocrisy here?

It's fine for OpenAI to steal work, but if someone wants to steal theirs, it's not? I cannot believe people even try defend this shit. It's wack.

From the (very brief) article, I don’t see anything wrong with this use-case. Filling out the documentation is a time-consuming job and getting a program to automate it to speed up the application process is one of the things I think generative AI would be excellent for.

Of course they’re still going to have to check it, but reviewing 12,000 pages of documents is an order of magnitude faster than writing them from scratch.

The jump from the Phoenician abjad to the Greek alphabet was very minor. It was almost guaranteed. Phoenicians didn’t _need_ to write down vowels due to the structure of their language. When the Greeks adapted the Phoenician abjad (they certainly didn’t invent their own) they made some changes to make it work with their language. This happened again and again throughout history. Languages always made changes to alphabets when adapting them from other languages. But yes if you argue semantically that the alphabet is the object that the Greeks first put together then yes they did it first. But they certainly only made extremely minor changes compared to what came before.

As an aside, “alphabet” is quite clearly named for the first two letters in the Phoenician abjad. Though the Greeks did take the same names for their first two letters as well.
The fact is they found those gps or even third party part denial and how could these be conspiracy I wonder?

I would agree to propaganda, but I also agree that the quoted price for a studio is correct. It can also be less on the outskirts and not in a central area.

This does look cool. It reminds me of a recent discovery I made. The other day, while trying to recover some disk space, I found a giant file on my hard disk. It turned out to be a nine-hour screen recording from almost a year ago. I had no idea it existed, so I must’ve accidentally left the screen recording on. Scrubbing through it sped up, watching the whole thing in a couple minutes, was fascinating; it was like a window into my thought process at that time. You could see how I was researching something online. It was almost like a play-by-play, akin to re-watching a sports performance – very instructive and surprisingly useful.

Also, the the sense of being back in that time seeing details that I otherwise probably would’ve forgotten was transformative.

> Industrial grid storage is rated to daily discharge for more than 10 years, with warranties typically around 12-14 years and expected life far afterward. 5000-10,000 cycles is more realistic.

I'd be very, very interested in these lithium ion batteries that have a life span of 10,000 cycles. The only way this would be achieved is with a very small depth of discharge, which severely reduces usable storage. I at least provided a link to back up my claims, yet you accuse me of spreading misinformation despite not doing anything at all to back up yours. Alternative chemistries like lithium iron phosphate achieve 3,000 - 5,000 cycles [1] at 80% depth of discharge. They last 5-10 years, not 14 [2]. But that's a new batter chemistry with smaller share of the battery market than typical lithium ion, and they also have smaller capacities than lithium ion and lower max power output.

Batteries are already being bottlenecked by input materials. Manufacturing accounts for only a quarter of a battery's cost [3]. Scaling out batteries is already becoming a problem of resource extraction. Even if the manufacturing cost is optimized to zero, the cost of inputs are still there.

The cost of a new car went from a quarter of a million dollars in 1900 to $25,000 in 1920. Would it be reasonable to observe that the cost of a car was falling by a quarter every two decades and predict that a new car would cost $6,250 in 1940, $1,500 in 1960, and $100 by 2000? Why would this scaling stop? What's the limit? Why didn't cars keep dropping in price?

If you're not aware, they had a recall on a bunch of models recently, you should check to see if yours was one of them!
Cars made in the 40s and 50s were very unreliable, required significantly more maintenance than modern cars. You had to service things like breaker points, batteries and carburetors every few thousand miles. Most modern cars can go 10,000 miles between checkups and major components can go 100k+ miles with no work needed.
I think you do not understand what a demand curve is and should look up some econ 101.

The demand curve is how many of a given card customers (in aggregate) would buy at a given price.

Wizards could reprint any card into the ground if they wanted to (which would be far below $10), but that would likely not be the strategy that generated them the most profit, and there's no actual reason to think $10 is the price point that would do so either.

In the world of industrial machine tools, like lathes, etc. it is generally accepted that 1940-1960 American Cast Iron machines are the best machines available, after rebuilding. The quality of the materials has not been matched since then.
There’s some good ones here. But there’s also some that are deeply silly. The Barendregt book (I’m not even remembering the correct spelling) is definitely of no use for applied computer science, or most flavors of theoretical programming language work.
It's always amusing when I see an old show described as a hit only to run for 3 years.

Indeed.

As someone with an education in healthcare, nothing goes off the rails, and I mean really off the rails like a health related thread on HN.

You get some of the most ardent believers in some of the wildest hypotheses who are quick to dismiss a century or more of actual data.

That’s not to say that some early hypotheses won’t turn out to be correct, but there is a big difference between “I read this interesting paper with an interesting hypothesis” and “Hey guys, all of current medicine is 100% wrong and your doctor is conspiring to keep the truth from you (or so inept they probably can’t tie their own shoe).”

The industrial washing machine will last a long time and it is repairable if it breaks down. But the one guy on this coast who services and can get parts for it is pretty busy and if you can't offer him a long-term contract to maintain thirty of them you may find yourself fairly low on his priority list.
Right now I’m focusing on fun, health and mindset rather than just work and making bank
> What still remains unclear, however, is how movement in a hyperbolic world impacts game play in a meaningful way.

It impacts how far you have to go to reach a variety of terrain. In euclidean space there is a fixed amount of surface area with any given walking distance. In this game there much more space within that same walking distance which allows more user choice and variety in areas without having to decrease the size of areas. Thus any given biome can border many more biomes without making the distance between those biomes larger.

I had this experience in real life in Shinjuku station. It was the first station I needed to navigate when showing up to Japan. I didn’t care about which exit I went out of, I was just trying to get up to the surface so I could see where I was at with GPS and orient myself. After the flight (I don’t sleep on planes), I was very stressed out and sleep deprived. I tried to look like I knew what I was doing, but I was freaking out inside, I felt trapped. It was a really bad time. Thankfully, after some sleep, navigating the subway went much better.

Even into the early Windows days people would still tweak their config.sys files.
