Having been a pizza delivery driver, the $1 delivery fee doesn’t track. That assumes 5 deliveries per hour, or only 12 minutes per delivery. There’s transit time to and from the store plus handoff at both ends. If you live more than 5 minutes from the store, no pizza for you.

When I was delivering pizza, it was usually 30 minutes allotted for delivery: 15 minutes to make the pizza, and 15 minutes to get it into the customer’s hands. With transit time, I would have been doing good to get 2 deliveries an hour.
“Feeling slighted” is a gross understatement of how a lack of compensation flowing to creators has shaped the internet and the wider world over the past 25 years. If we have a problem with the way top media companies compensate their creators, that is a separate issue - not a justification for layering another issue on top.
Reasoning, in the context of artificial intelligence and cognitive sciences, can be seen as the process of drawing inferences or making decisions based on available information. This doesn't make machines like calculators or LLMs equivalent to human reasoning, but it does suggest they engage in some form of reasoning.

Expert systems, for instance, use a set of if-then rules derived from human expertise to make decisions in specific domains. This is a form of deductive reasoning, albeit limited and highly structured. They don't 'understand' in a human sense but operate within a framework of logic provided by humans.

LLMs, on the other hand, use statistical methods to generate responses based on patterns learned from vast amounts of data. This isn't reasoning in the traditional philosophical sense, but it's a kind of probabilistic reasoning. They can infer, locally generalize, and even 'extrapolate' to some extent within the bounds of their training data. However, this is not the same as human extrapolation, which often involves creativity and a deep understanding of context.
It's a situation that is affecting all metro areas, both West and East Coast. For sure, the West Coast is on a whole other level. But I live an hour and a half outside of a southeastern metro area where the average salary is $17/hr with 1-bedroom apartments going for $1,400/month and minimum wage is still $7.25/hr. Which $17/hr doesn't even qualify for.

Just stating that this is heavily affecting East Coast non-metro areas, largely due to a fear of change in these communities and a refusal for any local or state governments to take any actions.

I will tell you what could be done. Don't accept any kind of "academic integrity check" at this point.

Eliminating the right to patient privacy does not serve the greater good. People have enough distrust of the medical system already.

Based on past history, it would be more surprising if Apple wasn't actively cooperating with the NSA, that was the case with PRISM (wiki):

> "The documents identified several technology companies as participants in the PRISM program, including Microsoft in 2007, Yahoo! in 2008, Google in 2009, Facebook in 2009, Paltalk in 2009, YouTube in 2010, AOL in 2011, Skype in 2011 and Apple in 2012. The speaker's notes in the briefing document reviewed by The Washington Post indicated that '98 percent of PRISM production is based on Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft'"

With the rise of end-to-end encryption in the wake of the Snowden revelations, this put large tech corporations in a bind, given the conflict between consumer desire for secure snoop-proof devices, and government desire for backdoor access. Pressure might have been applies by government contracting decisions, so no cooperation == no big government contract. The general rise of end-to-end encryption also meant that things like deep packet inspection along the trunk no longer worked, putting a premium on breaking into devices to install keyloggers etc.

All the fear of China doing this with Huawei (probably well-justified fear) may have risen in part as projection by politicians and insiders who knew the US government was doing it already with Apple, Android, Intel, ARM, etc. The US government has certainly retained legalistic justification for such behavior, even though the Act expired in 2020[1]. Also, corporations have been given retroactive immunity for similar illegal activites before [2], so Apple has that precedent to go by.

I worked in such a ghost kitchen in the 1990s (we didn't have a license to sell food on premises.)

You want a gas conveyor oven which actually takes a lot of space and needs ~3 meters in front for assembly and 2 meters behind it. Walk in fridge and freezer are at least another shipping container in size. Then there's clean up and other prep space..

Strongly product-oriented/Proper-Noun-centric view of it. There's good stuff here, but the eras felt more amorphous & fluid, different people riffing with ideas in different ways. The presentation here feels distorting, contorts things into a Great Man view of history that doesn't feel representative of the times.

I would have expexted a more generative approach than the one they present.

While this speeds up the screning process quite a lot you might as well feel like someone might just have thrown something out that might actually turn out useful and you can't backcheck without resorting to testing everthing.

When I read the headline I was expected something more along "a
network that knows what processes we have and therfor could imagine what compounds we could come up with" combined with that "inverse" network that predicts weaknesses of bacteria. Then those two would be matched and we would have to figure out the missing steps how to actually build the compound coming from that "black box" prediction.

The benefit would be that we would be presented with something that could exist but we hadn't thought of because of our processes and limited resources.

While I value the speedup and cost effect I'd think we could do much better here in exploiting the "creative" and powerful numerical inverse potential of ANNs especially in this area and outsmart those evolutionary skills of bacteria that way.

If my parents are healthy and earn more than me, what role do I have in taking care of them?
My parents were of the kind who believed that children should be out of the house by 18 but a decade later with current economic situation, they've agreed that I can move in. Unfortunately there are no tech jobs where they live and my partner doesn't like the town so that's a challenge.

My life is a constant struggle against 'the culture' aka 'the brainwash'. I would live in a tent on some island if it was purely up to me.

My wife had highly expectations, especially when we met so the fact that she is willing to live with me in poverty today is already stretching my persuasive capabilities. Convincing her to live in a tent is outside of my capabilities as she hates camping.
People will call you a crank or a conspiracy theorist but that is only because they are afraid to think about the answers to those questions themselves. Its easier to pretend it couldn't happen.

Don't be put off by the laundry list of skills posted on job listings. Most of what they want will be superficial or if it is very detailed and critical it is VERY unlikely they would cut the new guy lose on it. I would say focus on Python, AWS/Azure.

> We live in a world where for every language there are build tools that know far, far more about the needs of that language environment than make, and thus are far better suited.

Languages don't exist in a vacuum.

A big reason for the resurgence of make by developers is every language/environment comes with something new that tries to recreate make. They all have issues and limitations where make ends up being a better tool.

Also, when you need to deal with multiple languages in a project, these tools tend not to be that helpful.

As a web developer, there's been so many attempts to make tools like gulp [1], grunt [2], npm scripts [3], web pack [4], etc. and a dozen more, to do a part of what make has been doing for decades. And literally every 6–12 months, there's a new, hot tool that everyone gets excited about. It's just reinventing the wheel over and over.

Now that I've settled on make for web projects, it's no longer a concern.

I much rather describe my dependencies using make than JavaScript (ugh), which many of these tools use. Some tools fall out of favor; developers stop creating plugins or whatever for them. As a user of the tool, you can find yourself shit out of luck for your particular project or use case.

The beauty of make is it can handle the tasks of building a web site or web app using modern tools that didn't exist when it was created. As someone mentioned further up, make is eternal; it's not going anywhere.

This would have a very high false positive rate.
Having actually read the patent, as well as the sordid history behind Apple's dealings with Masimo, I'm not sure how someone could reasonably assert the patent was poorly conceived, or how they could poorly summarize the patent or the situation in the way you did.

Nevertheless, the patent was granted, and naked assertions and poor summarizations are not convincing enough to conclude that it should not have been. The contents of that patent, for anyone who is interested in examining it, make this seem like a pretty cut and dry case of patent infringement.

I'm really, really strongly in favor of nuclear fission power; but the American attempts this decade, and this company in particular, have been a grotesque failure. We really seem to have forgotten how to build things.

This is always the case when you build large one-off projects.

If you continue to build reactors non-stop you'll learn how to make the process more efficient and be able to make better estimates.

Surely we software developers should appreciate how hard making accurate estimates is? And this isn't a 2 week sprint we're talking about, but a gigantic engineering project.

We don't really build anything anymore. The "expertise" has transferred to Asia. Anything we build we'll build worse, slower and more expensive.

Except for airplanes that's one of the few things we still do better.

My overall point is I highly doubt nuclear powerplants will be built here in any major way. Will it happen in Asia? Far more likely.
> However in my experience good use of verilog style guides and decent linting tools solves most of the problem. You do still get bugs caused by missed typing issues but they're usually quickly caught by simple tests.

Decent linting tools are really expensive. And even it verif does catch all these simple typing mistakes, they still cost a huge amount of time!

I think the real issue with most of these "compile to Verilog" tools is that all the vendor tools work with SystemVerilog, and now you're debugging autogenerated code, which sucks.

Another huge issue is formal verification. The tools only understand SVA so you basically have to be using SystemVerilog.

> I think my ideal HDL at this point is a stripped down SystemVerilog with a good type system, better generative capability that crucially produces plain system verilog that's human readable (maintaining comments, signal and module names and module hierarchy as much as possible).

I 100% agree here. There's a gazillion things you could fix in SystemVerilog and still have something that compiles to something similar enough that it's easy to debug. Kiiind of like Typescript for SystemVerilog. I wonder if anyone is working on that.
> To get to this fix you have two things to deal with, first taking the identified timing path and choosing a sensible point to target for optimization and second actually being able to do the optimization.

> Because of SystemVerilog's lack of powerful abstractions making a tweak to get the read mux to use the earlier signal was easy to do but how does that work when you've got more powerful abstractions that deal with all the muxing for you in cases like this and the tool is producing the mux select signal for you.

Thanks for the example and illustrating a real world change. In this specific case, Chisel provides several kinds of Mux primitives[1], which CIRCT tries to emit in the form you'd expect, and I think Chisel/CIRCT would admit a similarly simple solution.

That said, there are other pain points here where Chisel's higher-level abstractions make it hard to get the gates you want, or make a simple change when you know how you want the gates to be different. A complaint we hear from users is the lack of a direct way to express complex logic in enable signals to flops. Definitely something we can improve, and the result will probably be new primitive constructs in Chisel that are lower-level and map more directly to the System Verilog backend tools expect. This is one example of what I was alluding to in my previous reply about new primitives in Chisel.

> Your example here certainly sounds useful but to me at least falls into the bucket of annoying and tedious tasks that won't radically alter how you design nor the final quality and speed of development.

I guess it depends on your goals. I spoke[2] about CIRCT and the new features in this realm at Latch-Up 2023, and after the talk people from different companies seemed very excited about this. For example, someone from a large semiconductor company was complaining about how brittle it is to maintain all their physical constraints when RTL changes.

> Maybe I should make one of my new year's resolution to finally get around to looking at Chisel and CIRCT more deeply!

We'd love to hear any feedback!

> Could even have a crack at toy HDL in the form of the fixed SystemVerilog with a decent type system solution I proposed above using CIRCT as an IR...

That's exactly what the CIRCT community is hoping to foster. If you're serious about diving in, I'd recommend swinging by a CIRCT open design meeting. The link is at the top of the CIRCT webpage. These can be very informal, and we love to hear from people interested in using CIRCT to push hardware description forward.

I’m not sure what the general impression of these companies is, but among the pizza chains (and none of them are good of course), Pizza Hut is, IMO, the most bad. At least Dominos has started drenching everything in garlic to hide their offense to the gods of pizza.

Maybe Pizza Hut has gotten out of the delivery business because nobody in their right mind would order delivery from Pizza Hut, since they almost always have better options.

Maybe they are focusing more attainable markets: people who wandered in off the street, people who wanted Taco Bell but were really high and forgot, third option not found.
