Are there books or literature which are related to this? Or are these all your thoughts? I'm curious because I want to learn more about it
The Board is capable (and in this case) is also capable of making choices about priorities and can pick someone who sets a good tone (or not). This doesn’t really change my statement.

The workers have their own incentives, but in general, going against the leader’s perspectives is counterproductive. They could all start caring, but it’s in their better interest to care about what the boss cares about.
You’re right, the end users don’t care. That’s not the point.

The point is that forcing all iOS devices to use the WebKit rendering engine prevents competitors from closing off the web to Apple technology.

E.g., Google has to make sure its mobile sites work with WebKit because they can’t just tell their iOS users to download Chrome to make it work. Any website that works for Chrome on iOS will also work for Safari because they share the WebKit browsing engine.

If Google could release a version of Chrome on iOS that used its own browsing engine they could basically leave their critically popular websites broken on Safari and tell their users to download Chrome to fix it.

Somewhat tangential, they could also get around the Apple App Store by leveraging the Chrome Web Store and extensions as an alternative.

Although I agree with the sentiment, I also would like to point of that newspapers existed before the internet and we had to pay for them despite having ads on them.

I don’t know how but at some point as a society we decided that we must tip a restaurant 25% after tax, but the newspapers aren’t worth a dime. I also don’t understand why they have to be all $25 per month now. I don’t think they were ever so profitable to being with.
Is watching one movie a day really that impressive? I bet a ton of people in old folk's homes have him beat by virtue of sitting around all day in the in vicinity of televisions.
I'd say not handling 404's correctly and simply returning a 200 OK is pretty opinionated, too.
Giving root permissions to a complex and opaque web GUI with a history of security problems seems bad.

While it’s possible to correctly secure cPanel, the skills needed to do that are the same as those needed to manage the server without it.

This anecdotally holds up, at least for Brother laser printers made in the 2010's. Over a decade later it's still working perfectly. Granted I do have to nudge a mechanical part back into place every year, but the service manual is so good that maintenance is near-trivial.

I very nearly ended up in the military in Canada. Somewhat far along in the interview process I admitted to having used marijuana within the last year (maybe it was 3 months, I can't recall). I make it a point to be an honest person.

Boom. That was the end of that process. I went on with life and ended up quite glad.

A few years later I am working with some government (mostly RCMP) information security experts and I realized - holy shit - these people are not exactly the cream of the crop. I recall not having much luck getting them to understand some very basic C and what a buffer overflow was.

Not to say there aren't some very competent people in the RCMP and CSIS/etc in Canada. But I can't help but think they are missing out on some of the best because of policies like that.

I understand the potential risks with someone who might be involved in illegal activities, but, to be honest the supposed straight shooters don't have a great track record themselves. See Cameron Ortis as a fine example.

Of course, talking to some military guys about this years later they all laughed and wondered why I didn't just lie.

(Yeah, this is about Canada, but, same idea ;))
huh, could you elaborate ? I've been on here long enough that my authenticity is secure. But, I am genuinely curious about why my writing comes across as 'fake' ? Is it just this interaction or my comments in general ?

I'm for real. I'm trying to be better in how I communicate. And clearly, I still have work to do. And no, I am not a recruiter, just a distracted engineer like everyone else on here.

As for the Brooklyn & LIC bit, it's from personal experience. I have moved around a lot over the last few years, and have found myself comparing these cities side-by-side. Manhattan is most people's image of NYC. LIC and Brooklyn are quieter, more human scale, have more green spaces and the pace of things slower.

I didn't mention Chicago because it's a disservice to call it NYC-lite. Chicago is distinctly itself in a way that makes the comparison feel unfair. Additionally, being in NYC-lite implies wanting the same geographic advantages.
This article really connected a lot of abstract pieces together into how they flow through silicon. I really enjoyed seeing the simple CISC instructions and how they basically map on to LLM inference steps.
What's irritating is your pearl clutching. Google either turns the things it touches to shit or kills them. Guilt is assumed because it is fucking deserved. Seethe about it.
One issue is that for asserting ownership of assets, society traditionally prefers a kind of identity broader than a physical individual: if "you" die, then an executor should be authorized to access all "your" assets to distribute them. (Imagine having to unlock a bank account with the thumbprint of a corpse!)

The security model is that everyone expecting a share claims it, and if they disagree, then they duke it out in the courts with what evidence they have. And you must hope that no one can compellingly fake your death prematurely. But there's no first-principles solution for absolute security, short of an infallible death register and next-of-kin register.
‘We hold these truths to be self evident’

The bottom line is that all rights are an invention.
I’m not talking about the end user caring about browsing engine, I’m really talking about the technology risks.

If Apple allows Chrome based on Chromium, Google or other tech giants could basically pull a Microsoft in the 90s and make their websites not work on Safari. “Sorry, Office Online only works on Edge” or “Gmail for web only works on Chrome” would basically snuff out Safari.

By forcing everyone to use the WebKit rendering engine, iOS is a giant lever that keeps Apple relevant and influential when it comes to steering web tech and standards.
Ouch. There are 3rd-party rekeyers who have specialized duplication machines, which hopefully can do new keys. Also, new Lexuses contain a lot of plastic in the exterior, which makes them prone to deteriorating more quickly even if garaged. See also: https://www.youtube.com/user/scottykilmer
Rowhammer isn't a vulnerability in the OS, or the motherboard... it's bad DRAM design, and we should collectively force the replacement of any DRAM that fails under such an attack.
Yes, remember in USA driving is a privilege, not a right. That privilege can be revoked for a variety of reasons.
liquidise says the DMV recorded they received the check on time.

If that is true, and the records show what can only be explained by a clerical error - there is always a procedure to fix clerical errors. If liquidise wrote to his senator and the senator took up the cause, I guarantee the error could be corrected by an orderly and legal procedure.

Of course, whether that procedure is known to front-line workers, and whether they can do it fast enough to achieve their call processing time targets is another matter.
I’ve wondered why email to print to post isn’t a bigger thing.
It's the ack in the handshake that is dropped. A filter for 169/8 matching on established connections and only outbound would cause that.
So it would be like a 2D black hole, you could approach it from any side, and you could move along the edges a bit, but if you go too far into it, you’ll just find yourself moving along an infinite area toward a point you’ll never cross, forever.
The main alternative punishment for people who won't/can't pay fines is jail, and it's a lot worse than a driver's license suspension for making it harder to work a job (or get a new job).

How else is the state supposed to punish people who won't/can't pay fines? I guess it'd be good to see more work-release jail, but my impression is that these programs are sort of logistically cumbersome and expensive to operate. E.g., El Paso charges $22/day, which is already 1.5 hours of the workday at minimum wage.
I've had cases where colour was required e.g. one of my ID stamps was unreadable in black-and-white, my tax return form has colour sections (might have been accepted in black-and-white but was certainly clearer in colour)...

I wonder if you could make a really good fuel injected motor utilizing these for RC/Drone engines.

An RC/drone I think that would be neat would be a 'diesel electric' (not diesel) - but a motor utilizing this for injecting into a generator for a gas-electric helicopter. Like a Chinook where the interior is the gas-electric generator, but the overall design modeled after the Chinook given that its the Heavy Lifter of Helos with a payload lift capacity of ~20 tons.?

In the late 1990s I worked at a company who manufactured a lot of the physical media for various software/games/OS (Intuit/Everquest/SunOS for example)

We manufatered the CDs, copy, manuals, boxes, etc - boxed and shipped it...

All the CDs were printed using Brother inkjets.

My buddy was a fairly famous DJ in the rave scene in the 90s - so in my off hours we would make and print his CDs...

dj morgan...

I designed and printed these logos onto CDs in the 90s

https://i.imgur.com/6VUWeQN.png

(I actually designed the Decepticon Logo in circuitry when I worked at Intel - but we lost the artwork, and that was the cover - the CD was printed with the logo as drawn in circuit traces and was pretty bad ass for the 90s scene...)
Off-topic but adjacent: Craigslist geek missed-connections time.

If you bought a stand-up Atari Gravitar machine from me about 22 years ago, I finally found the manual. Email me at mike @ my HN handle .com. Tell me where the transaction happened and how you got it home so I know it's really you, and I'll arrange to send it to you. Sorry it took so long.
Pfft, it only aims forward. Surely we can do better.
One of the ways you can get your license restored is to just show you are employed -- yes, so the court can issue a wage garnishment order because the person apparently won't pay on their own.

And if you aren't employed, you can attend a seek work program.

That commit has nothing at all to do with task cancellation.
Yep that one! It's a bit pricy for 'private' people (I think 300 or 400?) for what you get, it's essentially a bunch of statements you click on as fast as possible, and then you get a PDF with a final report. If your employer pays for it, go for it. I think it has helped our management a bit with shaping team 'even-ness' - some teams should be good mixes of all strengths, not just 100% 'input' as you get in regular data teams.
Oh awesome. That's really fantastic.

The Riptide motherboard I use also has ECC listed now. https://pg.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B650E%20PG%20Riptide%20WiFi
I know you’re not the person to ask about this. Just asking out of curiosity and frustration: Why do advertisers think that they are entitled to everything about my life, family, habits, and other private information? Being able to collect and correlate data from various resources to identify everything about me doesn’t change the fact that I am entitled to my own privacy.
The <30 category is a whopping 30% and more relevant to the subject.

The difference in "LGB" categories can be explained by the fact that women are an order of magnitude more likely to self-report as bisexual than men.
The percentage of women who respond to a direct approach has been pretty bad for a while, you really have to be smooth to make it work. The "meet cute" angle is easier - i.e. fortuitously bumping into a woman in some way or striking up a conversation spontaneously about shared circumstances. Most women are open to that sort of meeting if it feels natural, but then you have to have some sort of routine for "spontaneously" striking up a conversation so it's not without its drawbacks.
> in the real world the spec is essentially "Can you import it to Excel?"

And the answer to that is always no. You will it think it's yes because it works for you, but when you send it to someone who has a different Excel version or simply different regional settings, it won't work. The recipient will first have to figure out what dialect you used to export.
And how much less would that payment be if iOS gave you a choice of default web browsers in randomized order that leveled the playing field?

That’s really my overall point here. Everything that is locked down about the iOS ecosystem helps keep that lump sum payment high.

For example, you can’t add a custom search engine to the OS preferences. There’s just 5 choices. How much did it cost DuckDuckGo to get on that list? (Probably more than $0)
Specifically, CCDH collected 9600+ tweets from 10 re-instated accounts. These accounts were banned originally. It showed its in reports that Musk/X is making millions in ad revenue through these hate speech accounts.

Elon sued them for breach of contract saying they scraped the data while ToS disallows scraping and their breach of contract led to tens of millions of dollars in lost revenue since advertisers stopped advertising. There are a few other claims in similar vein.

The judge ruled that the suit has no merit and Musk is claiming to recover reputational damages under the guise of breach of contract. He is also not allowed to amend this and file again.

It is worth reading the judgement in entirety. It is well reasoned and written.
> "Fixed-Function Matrix Accelerator" just doesn't have the same buzzy ring to it.

FixMax™ or Maxxelerator™ would be good brands.
Imo this is because threads is a good abstraction. Not perfect, and quite inflexible, but powerful and simple. I would argue green threads are equally simple, too.

Async is implemented differently in different languages. Eg in JS it’s a decent lightweight sugar over callbacks, ie you can pretty much “manually” lower your code from async => promises => callbacks. It also helps that JS is single threaded.

Doing the same in Rust would require you to implement your own scheduler/runtime, and self-referencing “stackless” state machines. It’s orders of magnitude more complex.
I have "neverssl.com" as a prominent bookmark; as its name implies, the lack of SSL means I get directly to the captive portal page.
I don’t understand the reasons the person you replied to or you are making references to. You rather having to go print every little thing just because once a year you want it to be color?
What most people print at home must be Amazon return labels, some school papers and resumes which are all black and white. If you’re in college reading lots of papers with graphs in color you can easily print at school.

I got so tired of being asked by friends and family to help them with their shit inkjet printers that I’ll never ever touch one again. I don’t even know when I would HAVE to print color but if I must, and I’m not working in an office, I’ll just go to any store near me and get it done. The laser is painless 99% of the time, where the inkjet is pain 99% of the time.

Before I moved across the country I donated my brother laser printer to the least tech savvy aunt in the family that could NEVER print and I have not heard of a single printing issue in almost a year. Where it was always always something. “Some” cartridge failed, not even 20% used. Didn’t say which one to make you change both. Change one, pray, if you’re lucky it works. A week later, black one fails. Or they get clogged, or they need to clean the whatever, which uses 10% of the ink. Such shit I can’t believe there isn’t a mass lawsuit against this.
Laws being generic is usually a good thing. Those targeting only a specific company are often thrown out by higher/constitutional courts as violating fairness principles.
Child support is a percentage of your pay, so it has nothing to do with poverty. So that just leaves people who are bad with money management. Yes, threaten to take away their driving privilege instead of jail time. Put them in a position that forces them to meet their legal obligations. Child support is not some tax or fee or fine. It pays for food and shelter for children. The poorer spouse is usually the one that gets it. So if you don't enforce it, then you are directly punishing the poorer spouse (with the children) because the other one is "too bad with money management".
The freedom fighters will find a way to avoid these ads, just you watch
your example doesn't look any worse than an openapi yaml spec given how easy/frequently you can reach 10+ identation levels for a trivial spec.

you might be able to add descriptions easily, but expressing types in yaml is much more verbose than in a decently typed language.
At this point, I think done chan should be an anti-pattern. Just use context for coordination and cancellation.
Most JS runtimes are multi-threaded behind the scenes. If you start a node process:

node -e "setTimeout(()=>{}, 10_000)" &

Then wait a second and run:

ps -o thcount $!

Or on macOS:

ps -M $!

You'll see that there are multiple threads running, but like others have said, it's completely opaque to you as a programmer. It's basically just an implementation detail.
With all the anti-consumer DRM shenanigans HP is trying these days (see: Instant Ink), I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
You can show the court you have a job, and they'll restore your license. Or if you dont have a job, attend a seek work program or show why you're unable to work:

Interesting. Might be good for someone (not me!) to investigate then write in-depth info about. :)

As a data point, I'm using a previous generation ASRock AM4 motherboard with ECC and that definitely works.

I'm undervolting my cpu and ram, and very occasionally (every 6 months or so?) one of those seems to be generating a correctable ECC error that gets propagated to warning messages on my terminal. Haven't bothered investigating any further though. ;)
No need, we've already trained the fish to train the humans to ring the bell.

The fish wait patiently to see if the humans will develop the technology to train an AI to ring the bell.

And the next test will be even harder.
Your concerns are valid, and I think that my proposal of paying reviewers and replicators addresses them all.

> It's not obvious that a journal is fundamentally better at organizing unpaid voluntary reviewers compared to a preprint server.

So, let's not rely on unpaid, voluntary labor. Pay them.

> they are selling prestige first and foremost,

Yes. So give them a better business model--if they can make money reviewing papers, they won't have to create artificial value by creating artificial scarcity.

> The role of peer review is misrepresented in journalism and the expectations are not met.

If you pay somebody, you can specify the expectations you think should be met. If they don't meet those expectations, they don't get paid.

> this prestige is overvalued.

The prestige is not overvalued--it is just too easily obtainable by fraud. Something has got to be done.

> Preprint servers, open data and more direct science communication seem like steps in the right direction.

They are vanity presses.

And they don't even do what you think they are doing. Today, the problem isn't too little information, it's too much misinformation. LLMs can chug out papers by the millions. Is a search engine going to help you cut through that and find what you are looking for? What if 2 million papers which match your search criteria? You gunna read through them all, trying to find the 5 papers which were actually written by a real scientist?

Are you even going to see them? Is the search engine going to do a better job than peer review of presenting you the papers you actually want to read?
On these captchas I used to sweat it but now I just think "fuck it" and don't overthink anything. And I always pass, perhaps for a variety of reasons secondary to the actual tiles selected
> was there some specific event that triggered the creation and passage of that?

Not really, but the DSA package has been in the works for quite a while now even though it seems very recent. The DMA may have only really come into effect May last year and the compliance deadline was only three weeks ago, but it was first proposed by the Commission all the way back in 2020, and building off proposals from the previous Commission. In a sense, they've been working on it since GDPR in 2016.
Your confusion is natural, because the authors wanted you think something like that. The "debt-related suspensions" are in fact not just normal commercial debts.

Though you do have to be very circumspect in choosing that app: the news of Authy's desktop app (which you could pull the tokens from) being discontinued is still fresh in my mind.
You mean in token form?
Why not just use a tool like asdf (https://asdf-vm.com/) or mise (https://mise.jdx.dev/)?

These tools have the advantage of not being multi-taskers and can manage version for all your tools. You wouldn’t need pyenv and npm and rvm and…

We’ve even started committing the .mise.toml files for projects to our repos. That way, since we work on multiple projects that may need multiple versions of the same tool, it’s handled and documented.

> Now of course Google should spin off the TPU team as a separate company.

Given the size of the market and its near-monopoly situation, I strongly think this has the potential to (almost immediately) surpass the Pixel hardware business. But the problem here is that TPU is a relatively scarce computing resource even inside Google and it's very likely that Google has a hard time to meet its internal demands...
Interesting paper. It shows you just how rich data can be if you consider the global features from a single time point, rather than looking at weather from a single city.

In general, it shows you how informative high dimensional data can be.

I like this blog post but I disagree with this conclusion. I think it is regularly the excitement of the idea of crafting something that leads us to buy things we have no projects for.
It’s more that energy usage isn’t a useful metric - because trying to minimize it leads in entirely different direction (and pretty dark).

Ideally those 1b people would contribute value elsewhere in the world, leading to a big net gain rather than just displacement - and we’re hopefully getting bigger gains for the energy invested. Of course that’s ignoring likely concentration of value, etc.
