Palm incorporated a phone into their PDA just before the iPhone was released. Blackberry likewise. It's called 'convergent evolution' where two paths evolve towards a single solution. It's why both fish and whales have fins.

The only criterion you have specified that discounts about 98-99% of today's smartphones is "An important thing is that it should run neither Android nor iOS, so that there won't be a possibility of distractions like games."

That's easily fixed. You just delete the games.
In Australia, the "Traffic Control person" (aka Lollipop person) earns AUD 125K (USD 79K) and even without any qualifications doing home maintenance such as painting, replacing washers on leaking taps, or assembling Ikea furniture earns up to $100,000 pa.

People with PhD in Life Science struggle to get a job but people who have watched a few YouTubes earn huge wages.

No.

The other thing besides the autoconf soup is the XZ project contains incomprehensible binaries as "test data"; the "bad-3-corrupt_lzma2.xz"
part of the backdoor that they even put in the repo.

It's entirely possible they could have got that injection through review, even if they had that framwork and instead put it in source files used to generate autoconf soup.

> > “It is more efficient to turn gas into electricity”

> I don’t think that’s correct.

You're right, it's not.

In fact, GM wrote an SAE paper about their "2-mode hybrid" transmission (which was used in their 2008-2013 light-duty trucks and SUVs, and then in later modified form in the 2nd gen Volt), where this is plainly explained.

In the paper they describe exactly the tradeoffs made to optimize fuel efficiency in an eCVT... it turns out that you want to set up the planetary gears to minimize the energy transmitted from input to output via electricity and maximize the amount transmitted mechanically because that is most efficient. You especially want to avoid a round trip through the battery in most cases (except when that allows installing a smaller, more efficient ICE).

That has implications for the CVT's mechanical ratio: GM's "2 mode" which has what basically amounts to an auxiliary overdrive integrated in the eCVT so that it can use smaller motor-generators over a wider range of speeds. Smaller motor-generators means more energy is transmitted mechanically, which means higher efficiency.

This is also basically the same reason the 1st gen Volt gets significantly worse highway MPG in range-extender mode than the (contemporary) Prius Hybrid (~35MPG vs ~50MPG): The 1st gen Volt eCVT was envisioned as an EV with a range extender (where energy usually comes from a battery), while the Prius's eCVT was optimized for driving primarily on the ICE, with the battery only supplementing acceleration.

You are understating the level of evidence that points to the NSA being fully aware of what it was doing.

To be clear, the method of attack was something that had been described in a paper years earlier, the NSA literally had a program (BULLRUN) around compromising and attacking encryption, and there were security researchers at NIST and other places that raised concerns even before it was implemented as a standard. Oh, and the NSA paid the RSA $10 million to implement it.

Heck, even the chairman of the RSA implies they got used by the NSA:

In an impassioned speech, Coveillo said RSA, like many in industry, has worked with the NSA on projects. But in the case of the NSA-developed algorithm which he didn’t directly name, Coviello told conference attendees that RSA feels NSA exploited its position of trust. In its job, NSA plays two roles, he pointed out. In the information assurance directorate (IAD) arm of NSA, it decides on security technologies that might find use in the government, especially the military. The other side of the NSA is tasked with vacuuming up data for cyber-espionage purposes and now is prepared to take an offensive role in cyber-attacks and cyberwar.

“We can’t be sure which part of the NSA we’re working with,” said Coviello with a tone of anguish. He implied that if the NSA induced RSA to include a secret backdoor in any RSA product, it happened without RSA’s consent or awareness.

Institutional racism includes institutional policies, practices, and structures with racially/ethnically biased effects, not just those with explicit racial/ethnic targeting, and even moreso not just those based on racial/ethnic animus.

The justifications upthread are a mix of explaining deliberate bias as not based on animus and explaining biased effects as not being deliberate bias; neither refutes institutional racism.

Have you forgotten about the Snowden leaks exposing the surveillance on Americans by the American govt?
Wow, what a big pile of infrastructure for a non-optimization.

An internal call via ifunc is not magic — it’s just a call via the GOT or PLT, which boils down to function pointers. An internal call through a hidden visibility function pointer (the right way to do this) is also a function pointer.

The even better solution is a plain old if statement, which implements the very very fancy “devirtualization” optimization, and the result will be effectively predicted on most CPUs and is not subject to the whole pile of issue that retpolines are needed to work around.
Thanks! We just watched your review together in the living room, and we really appreciate your thoughts+detailed feedback. The list of items is an interesting idea that we'll think about how to fit into the ux. Comparisons is definitely something we want to add later down the line as well.

The idea of restaurants, like you mentioned, would be really great to have. It's not an immediate priority, but once we get Tiktok/short form videos on the site and integrate it well, it'd be really exciting to make and use.
Can confirm. We had a cat, at a shared house in San Francisco, which our landlord (mainly to be a jerk) forced us to get rid of. Rats immediately appeared, rummaging through our pantry and tearing up our clothes. I remember one cheekily glaring at me from a piece of furniture in the hallway. They were wood rats, quite fortunately, so kind of cute and not particularly disease-ridden, but absolutely a nuisance.

I dutifully collected confirmation and quotes from exterminators, and forwarded them to our landlord, along with a note saying, "look, we never saw these while the cat was here, how about you let us send back the pet deposit you forcibly refunded [yeah, he'd known about the cat all along; he'd found a loophole, and I told you he was doing it to be a jerk], and we bring him back?" He did. We did. We never saw another rat.
Not in the same way.

I've had indoor and outdoor cats. And I've had indoor cats that we started letting outside. The change in their behavior when they have access to the outdoors is palpable. They come alive in a very obvious and dramatic way.

This isn't really surprising when you stop and think about it. We seldom make the argument that zoo animals are living their best lives compared to their wild cousins despite the objectively safer conditions of a zoo.
So I agree with your overall sentiment, BUT we already have good LLMs, so I think we’ve crossed the bridge from “bad low quality responses in the beginning” and I also suspect there’s more Social Media bots than we’d like to admit.

Okay how about this. Tell me which policies of the USSR were racist, who they were racist against and why you think they were racist.
Well I completely agree with you about the fact that Israel hasn't been doing anything to work towards a two-state solution for many years, and has been doing plenty to work against peace.

That said...

> Or the Tel Aviv regime could just follow the steps of South Africa and end apartheid.

I'm not sure what you mean here. I don't agree with the characterization of what's happening as apartheid, but semantics aside, how is that different from me saying I think we need a two-state solution? Do you think Israel needs to unilaterally go for a two-state solution? How, by removing all its forces and all settlements from the West Bank?

Cause that's what Israel did in Gaza, and we see how well that went. Everyone in Israel assumes, probably correctly, that if we ever did that in the West Bank, we would be viciously attacked in a manner that's 100 times worse than October 7th within years.

I ran some numbers. This ship can carry 7226 TEU containers; it has a gross tonnage of about 100k tons (93.5k to be precise) [1].

I found that a 5000 TEU carrier has a fuel capacity of 2 million gallons [2]. Since Anna Maersk can carry almost 50% more, its fuel capacity should be larger, but probably by less than 50% because of economies of scale. In any case, replacing diesel with methanol would require at least an additional 3 million gallons, which comes to 10000 tons. That's 10% of the gross tonnage of the ship. I suspect that no ship builder or operator will consider this a negligible amount.

Where do read Toyota into this announcement?
Seems like non-scalable effort by a LEA misrepresenting about keeping us "safe", wasting agent time, and pissing away taxpayer money.

Surely, they should instead use taxpayer money more effectively by paying a boiler room army of non-FBI agents and AI chatbots to go about bringing warm leads to them.

Perhaps instead of infiltrating peace activists and minority activist groups, they ought to be catching real criminals rather than silencing dissent or entrapping people into committing crimes.
"Expand selection" in Intellij and similar, option + up by default.

This shortcut is, no joke, a very big part of why I'm still paying for Jetbrains tools.
That's all true. I've usually asked co-workers I'm friends with, and believe we can both be mature enough, if they want to exchange pay info. I've also told a few people what my salary was when I'm leaving a company, and tell them to share it freely.

Everything you say is true though, it can cause a lot of drama if people start having hard feeling over pay. This is why companies sometimes tell people not to share their salary, or even put it in the company handbook, etc, and I'll say again: it is illegal for a company to tell or even suggest that you not to share you salary.

> And every time I was underpaid I not only didn't get a big raise, but I took much longer than expected to find another job.

How are the two related? Why does being paid less cause you to take longer to find a new job?

No. Small domestic dogs like terriers routinely kill cats. I've seen both a fox and a hawk kill a cat. The fox was perhaps slightly larger but not much; you maybe could say the hawk was 'bigger' by wingspan only but couldn't have weighed more than a third what the cat weighed. Owls take cats as well.

Cats are just predators.
> it was hamstrung by a silly California rule requiring the gas range to be less than the electric range to qualify for rebates.

The problem is that BMW wanted to get the same amount of credits as a pure-BEV. California anticipated that a car with 300 miles of gas range might spend much of it's life being driven on gas if there was no penalty for doing so... and in fact that is exactly what happened with many European plug-in hybrids sold as company cars.

California never gave BMW the credits, but BMW decided to keep the dinky gas tank anyway, so that's on them.

If the US bans vertical integration for companies headquartered in the US, do they also block people from accessing content over the internet that is produced by vertically integrated players that is created overseas?

Exactly what type of content should not be allowed to be self distributed? News? Religious content? Fictional content? Documentaries? Trailers? Physical goods?

Do you want the government deciding what private corporations can distribute over the internet and do you want to block foreign content that doesn’t follow those rules?
I dunno how much time you've spent around fire alarms, but they're required to be painfully loud. Not "permanent damage" loud, but loud enough to trigger e.g. migraines in people who suffer from them. This door had a fire alarm on it.

The university needed to control access to the facility through one secure checkpoint (that I had worked at in the past, but at this time no longer did so). They didn't want (for instance) random townies to be able to come and go via the side doors without filling out the relevant liability waivers, because it turns out screwing around in a weight room carries some risk. To say nothing of the consequences of some rando wandering in off the street and posting up in the locker room.

I was answering phone calls, helping people rent outdoor equipment. My job was not at all watching the door. But I had to deal with 19 year olds who (and I did watch this a couple times) would look directly at the sign, pause to read it, push the door open, then have an utterly shocked expression that the PAINFULLY LOUD alarm was going off. And I'd have to drop whatever I was doing, go turn off the alarm, then recompose and return to the customer that I was helping.

Please explain to me what is so objectionable about a school controlling access to its facilities.

Pan-psychism does not work because so far everything we know that for sure has C also has some form of information processing. We know the brain is doing information processing, and living beings with brains that do this complex computations are the ones with C. While it might still not be a definitive proof or cause, it is a strong correlation, and there is no reason to think anything that is not doing complex computation is conscious.
My hope is that AGI effectively kills scarcity and therefore capitalism, and without capitalist pressures, I think a global transition away from fossil fuels entirely will be pretty easy

One thing I think people underappreciate is license compatibility - the projects which bundled BSD redis very likely can't bundle SSPL redis without changing their own license, or not at all if some other components are licensed with license not compatible with SSPL

The only problem with the wormhole (Kerr metric) travel thing that scifi seems to ignore is that once you go in, the only theoretical path out is to traverse around the end of time and emerge through a white hole into a completely separate universe. So although you could theoretically enjoin information across vast, perhaps casually disconnected distances in a wormhole, you can't take the result back to your original origin. You became causally disconnected from your original universe as soon as you crossed the event horizon of the wormhole.
You’re missing the final point - the use case beyond Chat. Google has search, GMail, Android, Docs, Developer Tools, etc

Google can put an LLM into everything and sell it. Not just a chatbot. OpenAI can sell theirs to consumers as a chat bot or an API. Google can out monetize them handily.

The best thing Google can do (which it’s starting to do) is open up access to LLMs. And help everyone else do the same. Give it away and flood the internet with more LLaMAs, more Groks, more CLIPs, more Hermes, more Mistal, more SIGLIPS, etc. If they just drown out the competition, and turn good enough” models into a true commodity, they’ll dethrone OpenAI easily.

Also no one mentions YouTube. Surely that data is a massive untapped opportunity. We saw the multi-modal abilities of Gemini today. A few years from now, and some better GPUs, and it might be able to handle video in real-time.
