Most of the revenue tanking comes from decreased demand from Chinese markets.

Japan-Korea trade war was mostly for show and added an extra theoretical risk and bureaucracy but in actuality all the Japanese chip supply companies would have gone bankrupt had they enforced it, considering there are only two companies, TSMC and Samsung that buy supplies they sell, and TSMC wouldn't be able to magically take up Samsung's capacity. US would have been forced to keep Japanese companies supplying Samsung otherwise their high tech sectors would be in shambles / increased geopolitical risk of TSMC being sole supplier of higher end chips.

Samsung increased domestic and Chinese supply proportions in their supply chain and paid a little extra for other supplies they depend on Japanese supply companies since the trade 'sanctions' didn't block Japanese Chip companies from by-passing it via 3rd country rerouting. Some Japanese companies also built factories in Korea to bypass it.

Korea acquiesced mostly because Moon administration over-reached in trying to win brownie points from nationalist left by being "tough" on Japan which put them in a legally vulnerable position with Supreme court's judgement(by installing supreme court judges with clear ideological bend) in direct conflict with 1965 Japan-Korea agreement + increased geopolitical risk atmosphere from China/ Ukraine/Russian war.
Elimination vs. replacement, fair enough.

Sports Illustrated was what I had in mind when I said that it has already partly happened.

It is going to be interesting if people will eventually realize that there is very little substance in the content, especially if the content continues to detoriate. At least Sports Illustrated was ashamed they got caught, and removed the articles.
Wby the rush to judgement ("The fish rots from the head."). What was done and not done will be traced and the causes determined with good old engineering and detective work. Responsibility will be revealed and the proper parties punished.

Rushing to judgement merely obscures the true responsibilities.
Yeah, we use an Aura hooked up to Google Photos rather than iCloud, but I think it's similar from the Aura UX perspective. It's super easy to use, and the photos just show up in the frame rotation whenever we add a photo to the corresponding album in Google Photos (which we already use for backing up and organizing photos).
That's very good to hear!

I can't say I understand the example. It seems to talk a lot about implementation details compared to the naive SQL:

create table account (
account_id bigint primary key,
balance bigint not null default 0,
check (balance >= 0)
);

begin;
update account set balance = balance - $amount where account_id = $from_id;
update account set balance = balance + $amount where account_id = $to_id;
commit;
I was being "cheeky" and misremembered the details but it was based on this: https://qz.com/amazon-vlop-big-tech-dsa-law-eu-regulations-f...

Still, the overall ridiculous claims and loopholes still stand.

The idea that being forced to pay tribute or die is not murder is laughable. The idea that the Mongol empire was successful is also laughable. It could not even last 100 years before falling to infighting. And how do you even measure success? They killed 11% of the entire world population. Why would you want to remember anyone like that in a positive light?

If you use Google Flights[1] to plan your flight, it lists the airplane that will be used for each leg of your trip so you can make sure to avoid flights on 737 MAXs.

totally agree, i think the problem is deeper than an engineering problem; every industry can find a group of people "just doing their jobs"

Not "paging" per se (since the 286 doesn't have that, by definition), but demand loading/unloading of code is possible on a 8086, and even the original Windows does it (see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20110316-00/?p=11... ).
There's nothing to discover if they simply don't collect information that proves your case.

My favorite is "we have no evidence that XYZ was stolen" when a company gets compromised. Why would you want high quality logging at that point? Don't log access to sensitive information and then there's no evidence it was "stolen" (copied or cloned is the correct term).

Retention policies are a huge issue too. There have been a lot of cover-ups discovered by people going through old boxes of papers. That's not going to happen in the future because tech companies are providing enterprise grade tooling to continually scrub history via retention policies. No one is going to find a 10 year old "smoking gun" email if you have a 7 year retention policy on all communications.
Same here. As someone who went through every available golden-age SciFi book in any library near me as a kid, I think the modern crop of diversity in Science Fiction is a welcome relief. It's not all good, naturally, and it's hard to compete with that early profusion of new ideas, but it sure feels less barren.
The time I wasted waiting for twilio to deny my reasoning for sending an SMS message to One of my customers, paying them to do this mind you, was about the same amount of time it took me to write an Android application that sent out SMS messages by reading from a custom API on one of my servers... I probably should have done that in the beginning it would have been a lot less money in the long run.
In my experience ChatGPT learns from those 11 out of date blog posts, and merges it all into a totally wrong mess. At least I didn't have much luck with solving nix problems with chatgpt.
It's also an observed factual reality that there were many terrible software development trends: XML everywhere, SOAP, microservices architectures (even if they do not apply), YAML in every config file, etc.

Every specialization has those trends, which are often copied without analysis.

I don't have any problem with questioning those trends. However, criticizing that YAML may not be the best way to build a DSL is not the same as saying that all engineers don't care about systems architecture and only use the latest framework.

That sounds misleadingly easy. The misleading part is that if you yep to open it the normal way, instead of getting an error that tells you that you can do that, you get an error that makes it sound like the developer did something wrong and there's nothing you can do.

I avoid wireless earbuds because I don't want bluetooth enabled (tracking via bluetooth is pervasive) and there are way to many drawbacks (poor audio quality, high latency, pairing issues, battery). You get far more options (and higher quality options) with wired headphones.
> I'm talking specifically about my outlook on the future of Python, vis a vis my historical experience with how other JIT languages have developed.

But your assessment of the other language you mentioned is several years out of date and made largely irrelevant by the fast pace of progress. Therefore your conclusions about the probable future of Python, which may be correct, nevertheless do not follow.

What's a good rationale for any particular sum?

I mean, for starters you can just calculate average lifetime earnings and subtract expected earnings of the person over the remainder of their lifespan, then add an amount per year in prison roughly corresponding to the QALY value of prison vs normal life...

But is there anything else you might add on? I expect the above calculation to only arrive at about a million for a country like the UK (which is less rich than the US and has less bad prisons).

Most of the exuberance over WASM (including in this article) is over the potential for running it outside of the browser, such as (apparently) in IoT devices (this article) or as a Docker replacement[1].

For the record, I think WASM is a good idea in the browser (but is still of limited usability until they add direct DOM manipulation, and I feel like someone is intentionally blocking that)

"Super Fast Emacs: Bleeding edge Emacs that fixes itself, thanks to a community overlay"

Could you possibly tell me (or link to the explanation) what's special about that Emacs instance?

https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config/blob/main/module... -- This file appears to be part of it, but I'm not very experienced with Nix so I am unsure of how to find the file that says: "install Emacs by doing this, that, and the other".

I use this homebrew cask and have been very happy with it thus far, but I'm always up for some new exploration. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

That said, a club typically has people wanting free drinks and people not wanting to reciprocate. This environment is setting oneself up to be taken advantage of.
If it could save a person's life, could you find a way to save ten seconds off the boot time? If there were five million people using the Mac, and it took ten seconds extra to turn it on every day, that added up to three hundred million or so hours per year people would save, which was the equivalent of at least one hundred lifetimes saved per year.

My point is that Boeing will take the flak for what is arguably a pilot error situation with the MAX crashes.

We should be very careful to distinguish between actual airframe issues and issues that are related to politics and poor decision making or training.

There's nothing we know of that is fundamentally unsound about the 737 MAX airframe, there are mistakes that have been made in very small subset of the airframes/flights operating, and yet everyone is running around like you're taking your life into your hands every time one flies over your head.

I once worked for a director that required from all his managers and other people to use a standard word doc for meetings.

Before the start of the meeting, the agenda part needed to be filled in. At the end, a table with actions, including who ... does what ... withvdeadline .... needed to be filled in.

If you were new or he suspected something, or just randomly, he'd enter your meeting and ask the doc. Or mail someone after the meeting and ask for the actions/decisions. Or at a deadline, he'd ask how an action worked out. As long as you could answer something reasonable, all was well.

It worked well, and I learned a lot from him.
Is there a description of each "expert"? Does one of the 8 models specialize in multi-lingual translation, while another specializes in coding?

I don't see any answer to this in the paper, although I only skimmed it.
I don't see how it's downplaying anything, except in comparison to money and friends. Given that it's fairly obvious that almost all problems can be solved or seriously mitigated by money and friends, I think it's a fair conclusion to say that money and friends are strictly superior to (internal) resilience. I also think the example and conclusion they gave was perfect: little problems are much bigger when you don't have the tools available to effectively solve them, and those tools are money and friends, which are sources of external resilience. They're not saying internal resilience is bad; they're simply saying that not having to get to the point of needing to be internally resilient is strictly better.

These all seem like fair statements that sound like they come from the department of "no shit, Sherlock," to me.
I'm not sure how that applies here - the trip home from a travel destination will be a similar distance whether driven or flown.
I think Australia saw a drop-off in cycling after they made helmets mandatory.

There was also some evidence that drivers give cyclists more room if they see they aren't wearing a helmet.

Personally I'm going to buy some pink lycra as I've noticed my wife gets far less aggravation from drivers than I do when we are out cycling.
to me the pitch is compelling. i don't want to use any more fucking apps -- i want to talk to my computer, like i talk to chatgpt. there's real opportunity for a revolution here.

i don't think apple or google are well-positioned to build this revolution, because they are too conservative and too bought-in on the old interaction model.

It's interesting you feel like poisoning a conversation is wrong or bad. When I see a conversation or thread that is "bad" I feel like immediately poisoning it is a valid solution. A blunt one, no doubt, but in the face of overwhelming waves of "bad" or dangerous conversation it's a fine tool to have.
>>> solve the plague of misery

Im not sure what this is, but there is no place or point in history where a mass of people has been more well off than the US at present. Fraud, corruption, homelessness were always going to have some degree of this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38905889

What is interesting is that there are places in the states where they are doing a great job with homelessness. Houston springs to mind, and that (politically) is shocking till you look at why and how they fixed it... They removed the incentive to compete, and changed how people are placed.
My kid is a huge fan of flightradar so we spend way too much time watching it. I don't know the exact timing, but it is a consistent behavior that planes pop onto flightradar only a little bit before pulling out of the gate. But I'm not sure if there's a standardized point in the sequence when they turn it on or it's up to each pilot.

But you're right, watching the incoming plane to that gate would be a good way to know earlier!
Which defense contractor would want that data? Palantir?
My plan to solve this is buy an all in one like the new ge prestige unit when my washer or dryer breaks. That runs on a regular outlet so there are many, many cheap esphome based outlets that monitor power draw that will work. At that point its a trivial rule in home assisant to notify me when the thibg is done.
That's the idea! If we can just convince people who make product and technology decisions to see that and not push the next shiny toy as the new tool or library everyone has to use, we'd all be in good shape :-)
But these platforms want you on their app instead of webpages. That's why the apps exist. There's a reason they are willing to go through the hassle/expense of maintaining native code apps instead of just one website. It is the core of their business.
How's that relevant to my question?
This was what I had hoped might be possible years ago working on a voice assistant for a browser (Firefox Voice). That was all prototypish and desktop-focused, but the real potential I saw was in remote control of a cloud-based browser. Voice assistants without a way to execute actions are pretty limited. Google/Siri/Alexa built up those actions through sheer effort, creating integrations for everything, carefully handling the conflicts, etc. A cloud-based browser has the potential to maintain context and perform actions across everything right away, without that huge investment and need for market share, nor buy-in from service providers.

I'm not sure how exactly they handle the communication between that browser and the phone, but at least my sense of this is that they are doing what I imagine is "standard" browser automation (which is much more advanced with LLMs) and then something to reinterpret the output for the phone. You can do a lot with the mobile view of the sites, but they seem to be going further. (For something like Spotify I wonder if they are doing something site-specific)

The use of a browser offers interesting possibilities for auditing what is happening. With something like GPT Plugins you can see the JSON, but it's not really equivalent to what you as a user understand.

Looking at them using Discord, it makes me think they must be doing automation through vision, detecting pixel locations, etc, as Discord is deliberately hard to automate.
Ye they were two separate programs, but in June 2015 they unified them.

I presume this was preempting the addition of native 3rd-party app support in WatchOS 2 in September of the same year, so they wouldn't need another developer program and/or app store.
If the AI doesn’t work it is a waste of everyone’s time to even look at the output. As I already said nothing is free. There’s always an opportunity cost. Collecting data for unknown benefit has a cost in dollars, time, and potentially human life. “The AI doesn’t have to work” is exactly the thoughtlessness that aviation avoids and technology breeds.
Good game. Actually really like the way it teaches you about computer science and let's you make your own computer from scratch. It has some quirk's sometimes, but I feel there is nothing really quite comparable.
