The point of "lemons" is that for some markets, scammers drive out legitimate businesses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons

> Akerlof's theory of the "Market for Lemons" paper applies to markets with information asymmetry, focusing on the used car market. Information asymmetry within the market relates to the seller having more information about the quality of the car as opposed to the buyer, creating adverse selection.[1] Adverse selection is a phenomenon where, buyers result in buying lower quality goods due to sellers not willing to sell high quality goods at the lower prices buyers are willing to pay. This can lead to a market collapse due to the lower equilibrium price and quantity of goods traded in the market than a market with perfect information.
8051 has no cost to license and if you are mostly using an accelerator to decode mp3, then the servicing of it is simple enough. Why rewrite the code you already have (from before cortex-m0 existed) or redesign the accelerator you already have?
So many questions....If you're in the middle of a room with this floor...... um, how do you get back out? is there an escape hatch? Could this be used in some fancy new prison? Could they add some sort of energy generation, so walking generates energy? Would that create even more incentive to incarcerate more people for longer? Where do I get one?
You don’t need to fully fool the vestibular system. This could be installed in a large room and move users slowly back to center as they approach the edge
A little idea utilizing a new level of indirection. You might call it "HoloTile meets Segway". A platform is one square meter (or rather circle) capable of moving in any direction (using conventional wheels). It is covered with HoloTile. A person on it just "walks" on it in any direction and the soft/engine just moves him or her in this direction, but much faster. Probably some self-balancing magic is needed in order to keep the person standing firmly
That safe is great! The code includes the number 4, which isn't on the dial. Good thing the dial includes two 7s, two 19s and a backwards 5, though. The power of whomever drove that pin into the steel! And; the genius of screws and hinges on the outside to help you get in if you've forgotten the code.
Gitlab is my favourite for running a codeforge: git.drk.sc

For a highly secure environment, I agree to practice even more defensible tactics, but I think software out to be designed to survive the open web.
Maybe I work in stacks not present in the training set, but the code I get from chatgpt is awful.

Often convoluted, rarely easy to read. Sometimes it’s not even valid.

Copilot is pretty good at predicting what I was about to type thought. It’s great for configs or repeating data structures
In what field? Because what is on the headlines is in the field of PRs, witch are the same kind of those who nourish certain cohort of "believers" like those of the flat earth. If you analyze their readers you'll find they are the very same ascientific kind.

Beside that, beside the classic Francis Galton experiment, beside Gustave Le Bon observation about the crowds, also the experts crowds, beside the history of Eduard Bernays campaigns, like those for the tobacco industry who makes many doctors believe smoking is good for health, try to LOGICALLY reason with your own knowledge. When the "modern climate change" start to happen for you? Perhaps DECADES ago? That how much "anthropic emissions" was made since them? How much can they change in the near future? Beside that ALL TIMES you here "we need to be quick" what does it means in practice? Maybe doing something before having the time to reason about up front?

If for you the "climate believers" narrative is The Truth and that they are "all the experts" while the others are just foolish unacculturated people from some social network well, you are a believer of some kind of religion, not differently than the believers of the flat earth.

Not counting that, your recipe than is what? Remain sit watching the TV about how important is switching to a heat pump, perhaps without doing it in person, just hearing and reverberating to others? For me there is no enlightenment of wokeism but mere logic: I choose to move from a big city to a mountain area, I built a new home so with the current design and tech, not because "it's my contribution to a cause" but because summing MANY aspects I've decide that's the most opportune/wise choice I have. Meanwhile I've also put a modern wood stove (meaning airtight, sucking air from the outside to ventilate the flame chamber) in the new home, because while I have p.v. and a small LFP storage I prefer having a more reliable backup WHEN, not if, I'll need it. I'm an engineer and I call it logic. Nothing more, nothing less while observing in modern gear how much "not at all experts" are those who have designed most of such gears simply because they do not have them in person at home, so they ignore countless real world cases not easy evidently to grasp at a project level. They dumb thing like a p.v. "integrated" EV charger that actually hyper-flawed because those who have designed it have never try to use it to actually really trying charging from p.v.
> Developing and installing apps is the main feature of a computer.

I may argue that policing the App store is the main feature of the iPhone. That is why I bought it in the first place. It is not a computer in general sense. I want only a few apps and I want them to behave.
Inside the company Boeing, which is what counts.
Agree. The quality of the wheat and production methods are going to have a bigger impact than the specific details of the shape. But alas, the shape can be seen with the naked eye.

The idea of a special shape also suggests that the interaction between sauce and pasta is a mechanical process, which is appealing in the US, where pasta and sauce used to be (and may still be) served in separate bowls.
Very similar thing happened to me, except with Spectrum. Called to complain after they increased my bill. The only option they gave me was to sign up for ACP, which they said I was automatically eligible for strictly based on my address. They would not let me switch to a lower-tier plan ...unless I signed up for ACP.

I didn't feel right about it, so I cancelled my service, switched to AT&T, and filed a complaint with the FCC. The FCC then forwarded my complaint to Spectrum, who more or less claimed everything was hunky dory. Nothing really came of it at all as far as I know.
Raw chatGPT is indeed getting pretty poor at coding, even GPT-4.

Grimoire has been excellent for me. But then again, my stack likely has more training data than anything out there (Javascript)
Also what if you walk into a virtual wall? Is there some collision detection and can it force you to stop somehow
Perhaps someone can do a post on the inverse, to help people coming from an ipv6 background to understand ipv4.
Someone explain to me why is this any different to HFT bots trawling the web and reacting in microseconds to any adverse "news" about Boeing?

("news", since I'm not in that industry and don't know if they only react to official media, unofficial media - aka blogs etc, tweets, etc)
Great post, love reading these.

I noticed the author mentions implicit context argument passing in Odin. I looked into it, and as I understand it is for language related use only - memory management, etc.

I'm looking for inspiration in this regard as I'm working on a language. I'm familiar with Go-s context passing and aware of Java's thread locals. Can you recommend other any languages with different approaches that I should look into?
'Can you think of anything in the dem side as widespread as, say, the ivermectin+antivax crap was?' Russian conspiracies. To be clear, I think the left and the right are bad.
There's a spectrum of horror when it comes to beliefs. And how much suffering they are related to is important. And I can discern "considered horrible now, but culturally normal for the time".

Something like Hemingway's misogyny is gross, but culturally common at the time, and no-one who read his books tried to murder all the women. Not that he's a personal hero.

Ford buying a newspaper just to warn people about the International Jewry that started WW1 wasn't culturally normal outside of certain far-right groups.

And most likely the future will judge my beliefs a bit, I support the rights of women to access abortion. I'm sure in a few hundred years, abortion will be viewed as a crude intervention only practiced because our medicine was so primitive.

Or my belief that human rights are more important than animal rights.
Pretending for a moment that x86 and Raspberry Pi are the only options: If Pis are constantly broken in all kinds of weird little ways that take forever to debug let alone fix, and x86 just works reliably, then yes honestly that is a valid conclusion to draw.

You have a problem. You get a Google hit to a Reddit post. The top-voted Reddit comment has replies saying "That worked! Thanks!". But the comment with the answer is deleted, or replaced with boilerplate text protesting Reddit enshitification (and sometimes also advertising the automated tool to do this scorched-earth redaction yourself).

Like both Reddit and the poster with the answer once at least partly understood the altruistic open-sharing global good that the Internet could be, but then they both forgot, or decided other things were more important to them.

Fortunately, you can sometimes recover the answer from archive.org.
Funny you mention Go, because it's my main language these days. And I have to be honest, I don't have the issues you're mentioning. 99 % of loops in the code I review is the plain for-range type, and whenever it's something more complex, I usually am/recommending splitting away the body. Also helps with complexity metrics (and having at least a maximum cyclomatic complexity checker for your code is a must, imo). And if your error handling is repetitive, there is a high chance you're not adding the important context to errors and/or not checking if the context is added in the reviewed code.

A thing I've discovered that helps me a lot that don't see mentioned at all is to always review code by checking it out on your machine and using your editor to inspect it. Maybe it's just me, but there is something about seeing the code in your own environment as well as having all of your tools to e.g. see where a method is used helps massively.
If you make one of these big enough then you wouldn't notice the motion. That would of course be crazy expensive. Cool though.
I see a lot of echos to climate change / global warming in your comment and I'm not sure it was intentional or not.

Maybe they destroyed civilization like we're about to.

But yet we sprung up in their ashes.

Maybe once we're gone, the next phase of humanity will be even greater?

Not real ideas, just was pondering the thought while reading your comment.
Though it most probably does not run in on the 1070 but rather on the cpu. It cannot fit on a 1070, it is not about speed, a 1070 cannot run it period.
We all know that sideloading is a well-established method used by millions of people to gain access to software that is not available on the dominant stores.

I didn't think branding them as developers would change anything.
Yeah I agree, it's the best place to target it: the producers have the means, motive and opportunity to cut their pollution.

The real problem comes when considering imports. How to assess the emissions of overseas producers, and then track the "embodied pollution" in each product? Becomes very messy without solid international cooperation. So it probably then becomes necessary to tax certain things when they're either imported or at the point of sale.
>If you're looking for a long pasta, fusilli bucati lunghi is fun. They're essentially old-school telephone cords.

I'll have to check that out. I have regular (short) fusilli, penne, and fettuccine on rotation when I make pasta. It's strange how the mouthfeel affects the experience when the food is otherwise exactly the same in terms of ingredients and maker.
> At current rates it will pay itself off in 9 years

One thing to consider, over that period of time, electricity tariffs will most likely go up, meaning that R.O.I. will end up being less than 9 years.
How does that work for moving the box then?
Good advice, I've been doing a similar thing with good results.

One thing I have done is to start more manually to establish the patterns I want to use for things like parameter validation, log lines, etc and Copilot seems to do a very good job mimicking those.
Those are text mode DOS programs and used whatever font was in the graphics card’s character ROM. Perhaps you’re thinking of IBM’s CGA or EGA fonts, which were somewhat similar.

Think about the mentality of your fellow workers... they're very happy if as an individual, they are paid three or ten times what you are. They don't have a hard time explaining to themselves that it is because they are 'better' than you.

They might be self-aware enough to acknowledge it's because they'll trade adherance to their ethical or moral system for money more than you will. But that's it. They will never rock the boat to unionize. At least many people trying to be first down that road will get shed and blacklisted and few people are brave enough to risk it.

Chances are better first with Tesla that straddles business that's normally unionized with tech, they might open the door eventually.
I heard about these and thought it a wonderful story a year or so ago and bought a 5 pack, but no matter how long you boil them, it doesn't seem to be enough and they seem tough yet chewy.

War is also entirely deterministic and contains no choices, so some don't consider it a game
Let's just get this out of the way before the debate commences:

DNS was invented in 1985 so that you don't have to memorise IP addresses.

DHCP was invented in 1984 so that you don't have to allocate IP addresses manually.

You can allocate nice short IPv6 addresses if you like to memorise hundreds of numbers as a hobby instead of letting the computer do that for you.

NAT is a hack for getting past the address-space limitations of IPv4.

NAT provides security as a side-effect.

Firewalls provide the same security.

Every router has a firewall built in now, whether they use NAT or not.

IPv6 has the same security as IPv4 whether or not you use NAT.

There are no "privacy issues" with IPv6. All modern clients randomise the host part of the address. You "look the same" to the rest of the Internet whether your unique address is a single IPv4 address or a /64 prefix. It's a unique identifier in both cases.

People that want to track you can use a hundred other techniques, most of which are more robust than your IP address. You're tracked anyway. Giving up on the future of the Internet in a futile attempt to stop your porn habits being tracked is not a valid argument against IPv6.
From the video it kinda seemed like to people had to walk quite carefully, and it seemed a little awkward. I can't imagine it working well with a headset on your head in a virtual world not being able to see the real world.

I've been thinking about this and there will likely be economic pressure to put filters as close to bare metal as possible. This means companies producing the hardware that is capable of generating the images will likely have special chips dedicated to filtering illegal content from even being generated. It will only take a trusted company with the proven technology to license it out and for governments to mandate it in the future. It won't completely stop it, but it may largely be successful in eradicating 99% of it from the public internet.

This will open up all sorts of debates about speech, etc. But that's another topic of discussion for me.

> I often had to spend days or weeks to figure something out for myself or to find some wizard in a dark cave to share their arcane knowledge.

There used to be printed manuals that you had to look things up in and there was no Internet. That's when I learned how to program. Things these days are so much easier.
> Gitlab has, as I understand it, a pretty excellent security team, which gives some sense of how hard this bug class is to avoid.

Based on the other comment that describes how this bug works, it is completely trivial to avoid. If you use a statically typed language, you'd have to go out of your way to create this bug, and it'd stand out like a sore thumb in code review, to the extent that if I saw that I might wonder whether my coworker is actively trying to create a backdoor.
I suppose their audience is more true hackers than general DIYers so that makes sense. I'd rather have proprietary BT than no BT, but I can see why the hacker community in general would prefer the rp2040

The font names are edit.exe?

I always found it strange that fonts are executables and yet we hear so few uses of fonts as malware.

The Linux repo for Ms fonts seems like such a perfect way to get RCE on Linux computer due to the number of people that need some crappy Times New Roman for a paper submission requirement. They're even called TimesNewRoman.exe or Arial.exe.
Argh! I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to start a flamewar. And we have discussed this before, probably. (I have a 2 year old toddler. Sleep is... affected, I will just say that. And consequently, memory.)

I guess I do not yet understand the framework within which I can discuss this rationally (if at all), especially given this topic. If there is no such framework on HN, especially given the topic... That's what I'd like to understand.

I will try to remember this time :/ Sorry Dang!! Don't want to be an unnecessary burden!!

Question: If my comment had ONLY consisted of quotes from the Quran/Hadith, would that also be flagged?

I did my homework here (regarding the muslim thing) and the one unifying thing I found is the specific religious beliefs in Islam, which literally every terrorist quotes (here is one of many examples I found: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN1481T5/). The difficulty I seem to be having here is me not understanding why this rational endeavour I undertook is somehow wrong. I feel like simply researching this was a mistake at this point, which is weird (and seemingly only applicable to this one topic- I have NOT found this to be the case with ANY other topic I've researched... but that is perhaps the nature and the danger with religious beliefs) https://newrepublic.com/article/81178/the-invention-islamoph...

Admittedly, some of my language was probably a bit edgy.
It's almost correct, but misses the point in an annoying way that kind of ruins the example. What does work is something like the subset of the plane given by { (x, y) | x real, y rational } U { (0, y) | y real }. This is connected, because you can walk from any point (x,y) to any other point (x',y') by traveling horizontally to the Y axis at (0,y), vertically to (0,y'), then horizontally to (x',y'). But it isn't locally connected away from the Y axis because for a tiny enough open set S around a point (x,y), there are other points in S that you can't get to from (x,y) without leaving S.

> As a consumwr, I require goods to survive and thrive

An average person in US or EU consumes far more than what they “need” for survival or thriving. Half the ocean pollution can be directly attributed to the fact that most people want hundreds of pieces of clothing in their wardrobe. Yeah some people have less, but on an average, everyone consumes far more than they need, including the “poor” in these countries. You can’t just absolve yourself from all accountability.
