> I can't count the number of times I've seen people say "md5 is fine for use case xyz" where in some counterintuitive way it wasn't fine.

I can count many more times that people told me that md5 was "broken" for file verification when, in fact, it never has been.

My main gripe with the article is that it portrays the entire legal profession as "backwards" and "deeply negligent" when they're not actually doing anything unsafe -- or even likely to be unsafe. And "tech" apparently knows better. Much of tech, it would seem, has no idea about the use cases and why one might be safe or not. They just know something's "broken" -- so, clearly, we should update immediately or risk... something.

Here's me switching 5,700 or so hashes from md5 to sha256 in 2019: https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/13185

Did I need it? No. Am I "compliant"? Yes.

Really, though, the main tangible benefit was that it saved me having to respond to questions and uninformed criticism from people unnecessarily worried about md5 checksums.

My wife loves to craft and to stich and make clothes - the dining room gets used as a cutting, crafting table as the porch room where she sits during winter is too hot during summer.
At the Czech technical university C course, we've had a very similar assignment. The submissions of all the course students were continuously evaluated on a leaderboard and many spent tens of hours optimizing to get the extra points for better grade (but mostly status points).
I think you’ll probably also find that the “spare” bedroom in many houses ends up getting used for other things—storage, a hobby room, (famously) perhaps an office or second office.

My spare bedroom has a futon couch but I actually use the space for various other things most of the time. Most people may have space that’s underutilized much of the time but that doesn’t mean it’s sealed off until they have an overnight guest or a large dinner part. Things aren’t that binary.

The world is big no matter where you are, but that just sounds like bragging how wasteful you can be.
You are correct, and this highlights the biggest challenge of our time (in my opinion): people are not ready to make compromises on their lifestyle, even if it is proven that this lifestyle is unsustainable and threatens the future of humanity.
> Range anxiety is a short term condition

> I prefer paying almost nothing (in fuel)

Both of these look like very dependent on the personal situation. In my case I never really got over the winter induced anxiety (the range dropped severely for my expectations), combined with the lack of home charger, combined with high electricity costs, combined with the fact that I can walk, cycle, or take public transport for most of my needs. I eventually returned to a cheap, small, ICE car that I use occasionally but serves for peace of mind (it's there!) and makes me just as comfortable as an EV makes you. I wouldn't recommend to you a bicycle or even a small car because it's very important not to generalize to others based on my needs.
Also more importantly, the "edge case" argument is just another variant of "if I yell at people, the problem would go away". Rate of success for social problems: 0 (pretty questionable on personal ones too).

EV range concerns have an obvious solution: build more EV fast charging stations and guarantee cross-compatibility. Standardize the billing system (the EU strategy of "figure it out or we'll do it for you" would be a good one to pull on the automakers here).

The solution is not ever going to be another round of people posting caustic hot takes on social media trying to shame people.
I support climate action too, but we're talking about someone being able to have a darn guest room or receiving family for a meal.
> I'd definitely take the 'annoying' sentence out of it.

I think it's right to be annoyed. It's an important issue, but I'm a fan of regular people, in general, and I always try to offer a defense of them at the expense of corporation whenever possible.

> It's just knowing that it's an unconventional opinion and I'm not going to change anyone's minds

You're a bit of a hipster. No shame in that. My argument comes from the same place, and wasn't phrased to target you, but to withstand HN.
I now know a few people who own an EV without the ability to charge at home.

For what I hear that is a non issue. Most of them need to charge 1-2 times a week and do that during their grocery shopping or sport activity at public charge points. Non of them complained about that even during longer trips.

So if the infrastructure is there (it is where I live) this doesn't really seem like a big issue if you drive ~50km/day with current gen models.

I agree most people don't care about carbon emission. EVs (even mid-range ones) are fun, powerful and silent cars.
> How do you provide better transport to a village with 30 houses in and services in 4 different directions?

What percentage of the population lives in these kinds of hamlets? (probably 0.1%)

What percentage of the population does live in places where public transport is feasible? (probably 80% of the population)
Isn't this simply bound by the speed of the disk? Surely none of the suggested optimizations (SIMD, multi-threading) are relevant.

It would also depend of how many different stations there are and what they are for the hash lookup, but seriously I doubt this will be anything measurable compared to I/O.

> Given that both of us have acknowledged we're not lawyers - we should assume the NLRB understands this better than us, right?

Maybe. Maybe they just don't like Musk so they throw everything they can at him regardless of merit. Given Musk's other misadventures in labor relations, it would stand to reason that the people at the NRLB are not fans of his.

Maybe the 8 people who were fired are just hoping for a quick settlement and some extra money. They might have a hard time finding new jobs now that they've outed themselves as insufferable woke scolds. Probably no reference from SpaceX forthcoming...

You can't just assume that since someone filed a lawsuit they're automatically right, especially after hearing only one side. Otherwise we wouldn't have that whole trial thingy, you know? Would you apply the same logic to all the lawsuits where Musk is the plaintiff?

At any rate, I'd give 10:1 odds that 90% of SpaceX employees are relieved these 8 no long work there.
I'm not aware of ants ever having conflicts within their own colonies. With other insects (namely termites), sure, but that's not the problem here.

Unlike ants, humans have no natural enemies, and are unlikely to unless some aliens attack, so humans don't have much need of violence for self-defense from outside, though I suppose you could make an argument that violent weapons can be useful for dealing with asteroid threats. (But even here, it probably makes a lot more sense to use engines to slowly push asteroids into safer orbits than to use bombs.)
Totally agree. Hybrid still make a lot of sense and It's a real shame most brands released half-baked hybrids and jumped straight to EVs, other brands never even bothered with hybrids. I drive a Volvo XC40 PHEV and I can go a whole month without running the engine, I only do so on long trips or idle it for fluids to run through it. And it only added $20 to my electricity bill (not living in the US).
Actually, in my experience chatgpt knows quite a lot about electronic components so I wouldn't be surprised if it was fed datasheets.
Maybe someone who knows more about this stuff can enlighten me. From what I've heard there are actually only 2, opex and capex.

If I recall correctly capex is better for the business because of how it gets treated in the accounting stuff. This naturally gives rise to the feature factory style work of a lot of dev jobs. Some reason like they can record capex spend as an asset with depreciation. Is this true?

I wouldn't focus too much on it. Just so many activities that rely on people feeling comfortable, in a familiar, intimate atmosphere. You can't spoof that with a restaurant or an AirBNB. So even if the place would allow it, people would rarely be as comfortable.

Sure but like... anyone in the PC gaming community would confirm. I used to read PC Gamer magazine a lot when I was younger, watch constant PC gaming setup videos, all of them included mice and keyboards. Almost none of them included controllers. I think there's a bias to the data used in your claim. My claim is not anecdotal based on just my own personal experience. It's based on my experience and about any content you can find about PC gaming out there.
That observation is completely pointless. Yes, even at 100% adoption it will take a long time to replace the whole fleet of cars, does that mean we shouldn't be doing it? Just the fact they bring this up shows they have an agenda.

Tesla is also recognizing this fact and it's one reason they're pushing for robotaxis, because robotaxis can increase utilization by 5x, the same as selling 5x as many cars.
Got a github?
Fat-thumbed my previous reply. Anyway, we love taking road trips in our HEV. It's a good middle ground until the kinks of EVs get worked out and I'm confident that will happen soon.
I bought an EV because it needs way less regular maintenance. I don't need to do oil changes or replace parts at an interval defined by the manufacturer. I don't even need to go to a gas station.

And every time I leave home, I've got a full tank, charged with cheap electricity.

And as a bonus it's really comfortable to drive, including having the ability to keep itself cool/warm even when the engine is not running.

IF I went purely by numbers the best choice would've been to buy a 2000€ car drive it until it breaks down. Then just call a taxi for the rest of the trip and buy a new similar one online for the next day. I could've bought 20 shitty cars for the price of my EV. But that's stress I don't want in my life.
I'm a fan of EV technology, I'm as green as they come and love nature, our lungs, and believe in climate change and the need to pull the planet back from that.

And I have absolutely no intention of buying an EV.

My balance is to run older cars, much less. I commute to work by train, I walk to the supermarkets and back, I cycle sometimes.

For longer distances, I might bust out our 2005 5 door Toyota ... for fun, I'll roll out a 69 Bug at the weekend ... I have some other classics in mind.

I got excited about EV's, Tesla, etc about 10 years ago ... and the passion has absolutely fizzled out.

I've spent time with a few and they're boring computers (and I love computers). I firmly believe that maintaing older cars and using them less is much better for the enviroment overall. AND, importantly, I still enjoy the hell out of my cars.

The only EV I got mildly excited about, recently, for looks was the ioniq 5 ... that looks pretty badasss ... but even that has faded. All the rest look like something I'd ride to the airport. They almost all have the design language of a taxi-cab.

I'm not sure what EV companies can do to reach me. But add me to the list of fewer people buying electric cars.
> When EVs were becoming popular, I was expecting to see super cheap, under $10k vehicles.

And you will see super cheap evs as soon as the market for those thinking they are saving the planet is exhausted. As with any product, it’s easier to exploit emotional buyers. And once tesla and others will want to tap into the practical buyer market prices will drop.

This does indeed sound extreme. Even when my wife was commuting 120miles a day, we never spent that much in gas (2012 Honda CR-V). This was from 2018-2022, so lots of variability in prices.

I suppose with a truck or large SUV, it's possible to spend that much, or a commute that is hundreds of miles. Ah, one more scenario, if you have a luxury car and fill it up with premium fuel, that can raise the price substantially.
It's probably more carbon-efficient to eat at restaurants since they are cooking in larger quantities.

> pushing through extremely heavy surveillance laws

The thing is, none of this is new. We had extremely heavy surveillance in the 1980s (see Spycatcher, Zircon) and 1970s, back when British troops were murdering civilians on the streets of the UK. The UK surveillance industry always asks for more power. And it's consistently somewhat popular with the public.

(aren't you an American?)
I can think of stuff like hacking/leaking data about bad things, like a Snowden/Manning/Assange scenario. Or working on/around piracy (cracking software to bypass license checks, hosting a torrent website, etc.).
They have (1) worse range, they're (2) heavier and (3) more expensive. 1 and 3 are a big deal, but except for these metrics, aren't EVs superior in every respect to ICEs?
Also did the author expect people would trash perfectly functioning ICE cars all at once?

20% of all cars on the street is nothing short of amazing.

Such a weird article.

Yeah well, we have laws and a legal system right? I don't think our legal system says that you can't criticize the company you're working for, or that a company can fire people for criticizing the company.

Criticism is healthy and should be respected. Even if it is "unprofessional", that doesn't give the company the right to just fire someone for that. If you would allow companies to fire their employees for criticism, that sounds a lot like a dictatorship to me.

I keep on seeing this problem reduced to the market or a business decision, but is it simply physically possible?

These vehicles require much more energy to produce. And without a reduction in consumption, almost the entire economy accounts for the availability of the same materials in the near future to meet carbon emissions targets. It's not just cars in vacuum.

It feels like we simply don't accept yet that the time of cheap energy is over...
> The Hand moves left when there are cache misses

It moves only if there were cache hits. If there are only cache misses it stays at the tail so the whole cache is dedicated for new unproven entries. Once there are some cache hits then they are retained and the area shrinks. It's not random. It reacts to whether it managed to catch something valuable or not.

> The current position of the Hand bears no relation to a newly observed cache miss, yet affects its retention.

Yes, but it is related to recent cache hits. It sacrifices chances of new items getting retained in exchange for retaining items that were recently proven to be worth keeping.
Only if nobody else is queued, otherwise it should match you with someone instantly.
All 3 actually. Depending on what task I work on.

Sometimes the customers want a specific feature, sometimes we have an idea that we want to develop in the hopes of selling it later, and sometimes you need to work on maintenance. Which also gets paid by customers in our case.
That does have some major caveats of course: some headers will be totally ignored by the browser due to web restrictions, some will be added/overridden (e.g. user agent), and CORS will apply (which will seriously surprise most Linux tools!).

Still, very neat, agreed. Almost certainly the best you can do without having some kind of backend proxy running on either the server or the user's own machine.

That's true, but most places you need to spend fairly close to the full mortgage cost not to get a better return if you're able to put even a small proportion of the cost increase in an index fund. It's worth taking into account, but if you do, you should also take into account whether the other option will leave you money left over and if so how you'll spend or invest that.

Comparative safety can be a surprising subject though. In general, heroin is a lot safer than alcohol, but most people wouldn't think so.
Hah, so true. If you give up on your ICE now in one of the western democracies, it will be sold as a used car in your country first and continue being driven around by someone poorer, then eventually be shipped to Asia and be driven around there by even poorer people until it eventually goes to Africa and and be driven until it finally gives out. Getting a new EV and dumping the ICE won't change much on that in the short term.

So what I want to say is, that poor people have better things to worry about than EVs and sustainability, like getting through the day with food on their plate and maybe a roof over their head. While they will be the most impacted, they can afford to care about it the least.

Also, EVs right now just shift the problem around until we manage to produce electricity from renewable sources, which is still some way off, especially in the poor places that will drive the least efficient ICEs while they last.
My recollection is that by default the ESP32 DAC isn't very high bit depth and so the sound quality is limited. It is recommended to interface it with an external DAC chip via I2S in order to achieve higher than 8bits per sample (maybe 12bit? Someone please correct me).
