I'm reserving my interest in smart home tech for when it's a clear win in terms of energy efficiency. Very recently I compared my current home lighting costs with a fully smart-equipped setup, and it basically just balanced out. I was surprised, because I calculated a best case scenario where the lights could basically always be off when not in use, compared to my current patterns where honestly I'm pretty lazy and leave all them on almost all day. The industry/general consumer priorities are pretty frustrating.

My Tesla had an update fail, and it didn't break anything, I just got a new update package the next day.

I also replaced my own headlight and had to run a software update to initialize the new part. I called a service center and had a software update in less than an hour. Try that at Audi.

Yeah. It would be great if either of these things happened:

- signed overflow was defined to wrap like -fwrapv does.

- overflow of any kind is guaranteed to trap.

The latter would be better for sanity and security but I’ll take what I can get.
Men are superficially judged by women as objects of success and capability. That's why men are so afraid to show weakness or vulnerability. It's sexual selection as women are selecting men based off of this and masculinity.

The judgement is so pervasive across cultures and time that the behavior is not learned but inborn. Biological.

The same is said for women. Success in choosing a mate is biased towards youth as youthful mates are more successful at reproduction. Additionally feminine traits are indicators of good maternal instincts which further increases the success of the offspring. So men make their choice off of this and this choice has influenced female behavior.

Thus women have evolved behaviors to emphasize traits related to showing off their physical and youthful beauty. It's also largely biological.

This isn't a blame game thing. It's just the way things are. You don't blame men for beauty culture any more than you blame women for men suppressing their emotions and often taking on the full burden and stress of raising a family unit.

You have a lot of daughters so you feel empathy for them. But if you had sons you'll realize reality is just as harsh on them from different perspectives. It's just the way it is.

I’m sorry for that painful price drop you experienced but that is on you for paying 70k, a price that literally and explicitly was jacked up for the purpose of decreasing demand in order to resolve the order backlog at the time. Don’t forget all other car makers were doing the exact same thing at the time so this isn’t a Tesla specific issue though Tesla was probably the most extreme.
Yes, exactly. The standard answer for this is to exclude the logically impossible from the definition of omnipotence. I'm pointing out that if there is an omniscient entity, then anything not known to that entity is logically impossible -- that is what omniscience means.

I thought this was pretty obvious. There is no normal body temperature just like there's no normal blood pressure, vision, etc. The "norm" here is defined by the statistical definition, the most prominent of the curve of values.

If you want to be more abstract, the "normal" body temperature for an individual is that which brings their bodily functions into homeostasis. It can change moment to moment, let alone individual to individual.

Every MRI machine quenches and vents. The question is what is different, in detail, that heightens the risk with this machine.

your response is like saying "the engine wont work" as a complete explanation for why a type of car has more automotive problems than another. Then, when a mechanic is curious about the nature of the failure, you call them stupid, saying "I already told you, i said it doesnt work!"

I certainly hope you are not in charge of solving problems in any professional capacity.
> So why does Austral use linear types, not affine types?

Because linear types are simpler. The major reason here is that you don't need a "fancy" inference engine of lifetimes like the Rust borrow checker.
Rails is no more productive than go, and a developer taking 20 extra minutes (frankly, not likely, even if we’re talking rust) to write go rather than Ruby is not going to cost more than the $1000 a month the extra Ruby servers cost you just to run.

Could you explain what the difference is between the two following segments in your comment:

"[frequentist confidence intervals] don't really tell us anything about the probability that the statistic of interest for our population is contained in the interval"

and

"the % confidence is about how frequently such intervals will contain the true value when the procedure is applied to other populations / datasets"

My understanding is that a 95% confidence interval implies that there is a 95% chance the true statistic lies within the interval. What are you saying it means?

To some degree I'm interested in the philosophy behind probability but there are limits to my concern with it. If you're saying that ontologically this is not truly a 95% confidence interval, but practically speaking, it does mean that, then I'm more interested in the practical interpretation because it's more relevant to applications of statistics.

I wonder when we started telling stories about them though. There’s not much to do once the sun sets, prior to the invention of the oil lamp.

Unfortunately Orion is still older than most hominids. I can imagine a new constellation triggering the “need” for new stories, but only after language developed.

And while I strongly believe we will continue to push back the beginnings of Man, and of civilization, we are probably past the inflection point. I suspect we aren’t likely to quadruple the origin dates for our species. Which is what you’d need to have a plausible story about oral traditions affected by Orion sprouting a new star.

Ruby got nothing else bigger than Rails unfortunately no matter how people in that community is hyping Ruby out.

It's okay if Ruby and Rails on a downward trend it might pick up again in the future.

C'mon now, we all know that our industry is like a Fashion industry.

The only reason why Rails is making a comeback is because we're in tough time: no more VC money to hire tons of Engineers to build a web-app.

When money was flowing, folks tend to build over-engineered solution (microservice, mesos, container, k8s, cloud-y orchestration), when money is tight, folks tend to build simple stuff because of lack of resources.

That article does not say that Walmart does not pay local taxes but suggests that it should not have used legal allowances it was given and pay more than it should by law.

> Humanity has come to the point it is now, not by following “common sense” but by following science

What do you mean by "following science" here? As in, making your own observations, testing your own hypotheses? I'm not arguing against that, if anything I'm arguing for making that the norm

If you're saying "give other people's statistics prevalence over my own recorded ones", why call that science if it isn't anywhere in the scientific method? Why hijack the phrase? Why not call it "trust in authority" or something less dishonest?
Thanks for all the detailed information! That answers a bunch of my questions and the implementation of strlen is nice.

The instruction I was thinking of is pshufb. An example ‘weird’ use can be found for detecting white space in simdjson: https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/blob/24b44309fb52c3e2c5...

This works as follows:

1. Observe that each ascii whitespace character ends with a different nibble.

2. Make some vector of 16 bytes which has the white space character whose final nibble is the index of the byte, or some other character with a different final nibble from the byte (eg first element is space =0x20, next could be eg 0xff but not 0xf1 as that ends in the same nibble as index)

3. For each block where you want to find white space, compute pcmpeqb(pshufb(whitespace, input), input). The rules of pshufb mean (a) non-ascii (ie bit 7 set) characters go to 0 so will compare false, (b) other characters are replaced with an element of whitespace according to their last nibble so will compare equal only if they are that whitespace character.

I’m not sure how easy it would be to do such tricks with vgather.vv. In particular, the length of the input doesn’t matter (could be longer) but the length of white space must be 16 bytes. I’m not sure how the whole vlen stuff interacts with tricks like this where you (a) require certain fixed lengths and (b) may have different lengths for tables and input vectors. (and indeed there might just be better ways, eg you could imagine an operation with a 256-bit register where you permute some vector of bytes by sign-extending the nth bit of the 256-bit register into the result where the input byte is n).
Okay so if you're calling a D std.algorithm function, for instance

int factor = 2;
assert([2, 3].map!(a => a * factor).array == [4, 6]);

Then the `!` indicates that you're actually passing the lambda as a compiletime parameter to `map`. But the lambda can access the surrounding context! How does it pass a runtime value at compile time?

So what you're passing is actually purely a function symbol. The way that it gets the stack reference to the surrounding function is that it's actually a nested function. And the way that `map` gets the stack reference to pass to the lambda is that, effectively, that instance of `map` is also a nested function of the calling function.

That's also why you cannot pass a lambda as a template parameter to a class method in D: it already has a context parameter, ie. the class reference.

In Neat, the value of the lambda is the stackframe reference, and it's just passed as a regular parameter:

int factor = 2;
assert([2, 3].map(a => a * factor).array == [4, 6]);

Which avoids this whole issue at the cost of requiring some cleverness with refcounting.
I wish someone would make a truly dumb car. Sure you can have microcontrollers for emissions, safety, etc but beyond that give me a 1970s user interface and make the car as independent of technology as possible.

Maybe you would find it useful to read a textbook on bayesian stats for inspiration. I can recommend Richard McElreath's "Statistical Rethinking" which makes it very clear how inflexible it is to just know recipes like t-tests or anovas.

The canonical approach is to build a generative model with a parameter (or multiple for ~anova) that codes for the difference between groups and do inference on that parameter of interest. Most of the recipes taught in statistics classes can be modelled as a regression of some kind (this counts for frequentist stats too, see https://lindeloev.github.io/tests-as-linear/ ). Some advocate to do that inference with bayes factors. Others, like discussed elsewhere in this thread, advocate combining the resulting posterior with a cost/value function, but either way the lesson is that there is less focus on "t-test-vs-anova" because they're the same thing anyways.
You didn't look very hard.

I think "bin vs sbin" reads fine as English given the context of the article, and if you wanted to be more exact you could just use single quotes. I think "bin dir" ad "sbin dir" work fine as well because of the context of the article.

Sure. Specifically regarding not storing firmware: The TKey does have roughly 6 KB of immutable firmware which is responsible for loading device applications sent by the host. This firmware receives and then hashes the application together with the Unique per Device Secret. The resulting hash is handed to the loaded application as key material, which is now unique per device+application combination. This model doesn't prevent storing applications on the device, but to enable the user to have flexibility to load other apps we would need to change things a bit.

Regarding security: This is a question of measured vs verified boot. Until the TKey, users of USB authenticators had to choose between security and flexibility. Yubikey is not updatable at all, but several USB authenticators have updatable firmware using signed firmware updates. Some of them are open source software, and of those a few are open source hardware in the sense that they provide BOM, schematics and PCB design. We do all of the above, and in addition we provide the HDL / "chip design" / FPGA configuration. In any case, having a USB authenticator which is updatable using a signed update begs the question of who is allowed to sign updates, which then leads to central control and a long tail of interesting use cases not being signed. TKey aims to combine security, openness and flexibility. We accomplish this thanks to unconditional measured boot as a KDF, as opposed to verified boot.

That certainly is an option and might make sense in the context of some problems. I think limits like that tend to be problematic once some operations, validly, take longer. But YMMV. I think exposing the entire database to users is a pretty big surface area to hand out.
It’s a bit troubling that automakers (and, well, anyone who is building things that have mechanisms for software updates) aren’t making software updates failsafe. If you have multiple copies of the image on storage, and you take care not to touch the currently-running image, then a failed software update to the alternate image shouldn’t have any impact. Think of it like blue-green deployments on the cloud; and it’s what TiVo was doing with software updates to their DVRs all the way back in the late 1990s.
That is one interpretation. An interpretation that, once we start thinking beyond the first concept that comes to each particular mind, ends up just as meaningless:

What is a component? A global variable, a pure function, a procedure, an endpoint, a business usecase, a microservice, a microservice fleet?

What is the whole, if not the same list of questions just asked in backwards order?

It gets worse: Once you arbitrarily come up with one definition that you stick with in your project, does the definition you chose leave little to no room for interpretation? Do all kinds of tests that are worth writing fit neatly within those definitions?

Technical terms that are so loosely defined we can do without, for only two things ultimately result from their use: Apathy, or madness.

And it's great that these people have a few options:

1. They could put on a mask, go in, and grab a takeaway.

2. Or they could order DoorDash, Uber Eats, or many other options available across the globe.

I think both options make way more sense than restaurants forcing tests on people who don't see COVID as a threat anymore.

Based on anecdotal experience, I don't think there are many people who still worry about COVID: every restaurant around me with >4 stars on Google Maps is full in evenings and on weekends.
