> An example of something that for sure saves lives and lowers public costs is mandating adults wear helms on bicycles.

For sure huh :)

See my older post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39658466

TL;DR:

"Cycling UK wants to keep helmets an optional choice. Forcing - or strongly encouraging - people to wear helmets deters people from cycling and undermines the public health benefits of cycling. This campaign seeks to educate policy makers and block misguided attempts at legislation."

&

"Enforced helmet laws and helmet promotion have consistently caused substantial reductions in cycle use (30-40% in Perth, Western Australia).

The resulting loss of cycling’s health benefits alone (that is, before taking account of its environmental, economic and societal benefits) is very much greater than any possible injury prevention benefit."

&

"Cycling levels in the Netherlands have substantial population-level health benefits: about 6500 deaths are prevented annually, and Dutch people have half-a-year-longer life expectancy. These large population-level health benefits translate into economic benefits of €19 billion per year, which represents more than 3% of the Dutch gross domestic product between 2010 and 2013.3."
Based on the graphs presented in this study, it seems not everyone had one shredded or destroyed. Some had the letters retained.

Maybe but I presume the Chinese will jump in to subsidize that through mass production and we will all end up with saw stop enabled $250 contractor saws.

No, thanks. There are plenty of superior options out there.
I'm relieved that the GitHub repo has finally been restored. I was just about to make a commit to fix our liblzma dependency, which would have required a vcpkg overlay to use a different upstream repo.
> I am against government mandates in regards to seatbelts.

No one cares, you don't have a good enough reason. It's ok to have some kinds of mandates. I don't want my tax dollars going to pay EMS and police to shovel your remains off the highway because you wanted to drive like an idiot.

> You don't injure yourself with existing saws if you follow safety protocols. Then people don't and get hurt, which is entirely from not following safety protocols.

For what it's worth, this argument could be applied to anything extremely dangerous that just so happened to have some safety protocols written for it. It's an argument in a vacuum.

Having safety protocols doesn't matter if it's something deployed in situations where people are under a lot of stress or tired from working a lot and are still required to work. Ensuring safety requires us going beyond 'you should have followed the rules', you have to consider the whole context and all the facts. The facts show Tablesaws are footguns.
They offered to relinquish one important patent, but they have a huge portfolio of patents covering blade breaks specifically applied to table saws. If you go look at the actual testimony instead of a summarized article, SawStop's representative very explicitly will not even discuss relinquishment of their other patents including their patent on "using electrical signals to detect contact with arbor mounted saws" which does not expire until 2037.

A large part of the testimony was companies such as Grizzly complaining that SawStop is unwilling to engage with them in good faith on licensing their technology. Given SawStop's history, I'm unfortunately inclined to believe them.
Also a brazilian. I don't really care about it. I'd rather they used that vast amount of land for something that's more economically relevant. If you told me I could push a button to get state of the art semiconductor factories but the side effect was the destruction of the amazon... I wouldn't even think twice.
Always beware these type of Social Science studies that make for great popsci headlines.

The kind of result that makes careers: seemingly elegant and simple study design, common sense hypothesis and overall great marketability.

Diederik Stapel was one of the largest science fraudster in history and this kind of stuff was his bread and butter. More recently Francesca Gino was caught falsifying the data of the "honesty pledge at the top of form" that is highly similar in concept to this.

Now for the career-ending question: Will it replicate?
Bosch used to have a system called Reaxx that could pull the saw out of the way without damaging it.
Such a projection would be possible-ish, but it would need a different centering depending on the eclipse. The NASA solar eclipse maps (these are the ones that you’ll see in the Wikipedia articles on the eclipses) kind of hint at in that direction.
I agree that no one should just accept it, but credible people including ex Boeing execs don't dismiss the possibility..

> Discussing Swampy’s death and the whistleblower lawsuit he left behind, the longtime former Boeing executive told me, “I don’t think one can be cynical enough when it comes to these guys.” Did that mean he thought Boeing assassinated Swampy? “It’s a top-secret military contractor, remember; there are spies everywhere,” he replied. More importantly, he added, “there is a principle in American law that there is no such thing as an accidental death during the commission of a felony. Let’s say you rob a bank and while traveling at high speed in the getaway you run down a pedestrian and kill them. That’s second-degree murder at the very least.” [1]

There needs to be an investigation.

In what world is it appropriate or even legal to decide on refunds via LLM?

Can you give an example that's not ripe for abuse? This really doesn't sell LLMs as anything useful except insulation from the consequences of bad decisions.
I've never understood this nonsensical fear of federal oversight. Didn't we learn federalism doesn't work when the states fought each other over pandemic supplies. I recall some saying, this stuff is ours, get your own. And why does it make sense for some backwater state to decide to dumb down their residents with a crap education system. Isn't that a race to the bottom if a state is left alone to elect inferior education, which is a real issue in the American South? Some states will choose to be dominant intellectually and others will choose conspiracies as history. That makes no sense to me at all. I also recall a certain French prime minister say it gave him great comfort to know each child in France was learning poetry.
That's because CPU performance cares less about transistor density and more about transistor performance, and 14nm drive strength was excellent
Slightly related, but does it support Linux already?
Weird coincidence: while driving home from the eclipse yesterday, at one point I was right next to the Wolfram building in Champaign.
This doesn't answer the question.

OP's accusation is that they Levitt and Donohue are irresponsible because the ideas they're investigating could be "used" by "fascists" and "racists".

Parent is questioning the idea that scientific inquiry should be restricted because it might reveal facts or open ideas that harm a preferred political program.

You are not answering that question. You're just talking about the quality of research, which isn't really the point here. It's whether the research should be done/allowed at all if it could harm a particular political ideology.
Blade guards and riving knives are not enough. You would also need a kickback arrestor at the very least (even though the sawstop does not fix that issue).
For a moment there I thought this was referring to RISC OS[1].

I have a Macbook with the last Snow Leopard (10.6.8) which supports PPC through Rosetta and Xcode.

Generally speaking web browsing is the biggest problem if you care about that because there is virtually no supported modern browser (apart from Lynx but that's text based). And even if there would be one the web is totally different compared to ~2010 era. Adblocking is a _must_ and without that any site with ads kills the old Core 2 Duo CPUs
Well, if you accept as a given (for the sake of argument) that permitting rampant abortion tangibly reduces crime, then there are different conclusions that you can draw.

For example, if you believe that very few people are "born bad" (which I don't believe is a challenging assertion... Psychopathy exists and all that, but even that can be steered into productive ends), then incarcerations are a failure of the system to steer those with troubled or unwanted beginnings into productive lives regardless.

The anti-abortion people, instead of fighting abortion, should be pushing for better support of young people who grew up in troubled or unwanted environments. Then and only then, once that is in place, can the restriction of abortion commence IMHO without resulting in more societal harm.

Unfortunately, the same people pushing to ban abortion are the people who would stand in the way of social supports like this, trying to have their cake and eat it too, because it costs money. Or perhaps because they, uncharacteristically unempathetically and dehumanizingly, see people as falling into only 2 camps, "hardworking Americans" and "criminals"

Lastly, both incarceration and child rehabilitation should be judged based on recidivism, and new ideas should be attempted if that number is inadequate, and at least in the US, they're not.
I'm curious if you've used Lazarus and what you think about it. I have not used enough similar IDEs to compare it (or maybe just forgotten how it was) and didn't have access to Borland tools back in the day. One crazy thing I remember about Lazarus is how it can compile the IDE quite fast (given its codebase size) when installing plug-ins.
> It took us an extremely long time as engineers not familiar with everything needed to solve this question, to correctly solve it and scale up past 25M+ clients.

But you want a senior applicant to solve it in a weekend. What you'll get is people who are already somewhat familiar with these issues to apply. Chances are such people are indeed senior and can think their way out of a paper bag. In fact, you'll get very valuable people if you get them at all. I hope you understand just how valuable.
Can you recommend any physics books that were of value to you as a kid and perhaps sparked your interest?

Think about the device that is performing the decoding.

At its core, It's an ultra-low-power microcontroller, and the low-power requirements to hit the battery life specification while maintaining audio quality may or may not allow the kind of software abstractions that make these codecs "just software". Once you've licensed the codec, you then have to implement it on the micro's architecture, in a way that's actually performant. Which in turn may or may not require actual Assembly work.
On the date this comes into affect, either because they know they'll have to or for the PR (or both, the PR of coming out with it first). Not goodness of heart. As GP says they've prevented wider industry adoption by aggressively defending their patents in the past, despite not distributing their saws in Europe or expanding the range into other tools.
The elephant in the room is really the cooling pools at all the plants. And there is the rub, a lot of that nuclear fuel could be "recharged" but no one wants to build those sorts of reactors either. I think France shut their last one down a while ago.

There is no scale of nuclear that really makes sense.

Look at Fukushima. Not only is the whole area a mess. No one knows what to do with the mess. There's a lot filled with radioactive metal scraps and a security guard. Tell me does that seem cleaned up and dealt with to you?

Nuclear power creates a problem so big, that lasts for so long, that it is on a time scale beyond peoples comprehension. Look at the efforts that were being proposed to mark the site at Yucca Mountain. You remember Yucca Mountain, the hole in the ground where we were gonna burry this problem. Yea we didn't do that.

So right now nuclear waste is everywhere. And it is becoming more prevalent, and less controlled. How long before we have another one of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goiânia_accident ... how many more generations are going to be cleaning up Chernobyl? That fancy building that we slid over the site. It's not even gonna make it 100 years before it needs replaced. We're going to be dealing with the site for generations to come.

EDIT: I love the down votes but show me the link to the safe, long term, paid off nuclear storage that address the needs of the plants that we have running today never mind the ones people want to have built.

> There are a bunch of Small Modular Reactor companies (Nuscale is probably the most well known in the media but venerable Westinghouse has one too).

SMRs are mostly useful for small grids. Efficiency for large grids comes from large reactors (>700MW, and perhaps even 1000MW) that are built in a pipeline (I've heard the term "Large Modular Reactor").

When the province of Ontario built out its CANDUs it built them in pairs, and plants had 'packs' of fours and eights. It was a fairly standardized design and so the supply chain settled down and could churn out components.
Great callout!

Our goal is to equip jobseekers with as much help as possible. We will try our best to make our tools not sound like every other AI generated response but more importantly, we want to help jobseekers get 90% of the way there with Canyon and have them do 1/10th of the work for better results.

Hope thats helpful!
If everything you do stays in the rails of QT you're going to be fine. But you try to do something simple like load a 2GB file and everything starts to fall to pieces, then you're going to assume the people that wrote this are super clever and that a 2GB file is too complicated, too niche, too hard of a problem, it needs to be "highly optimised", etc.

The reality is QT/whatever program/framework is doing 100 things you don't care about when loading/rendering a file. If we only care about 1 thing we can do that much better because we don't care about the 100 other things our naïve code we wrote in 5 minutes outperforms the standard element by a factor of 1,000.
They just want affordable cars, price is going to win over anything else. A bunch of anti trade US folks aren't going to move the empathy needle with them. The developing world that BYD is mainly selling to is going to care even less.
Not the OP, but what I assume they are referring to is the ability to work on a remote host. For example if I have a Mac but I am working on a remote Linux box, VSCode will allow me to easily work sync with a repo on the remote host. It will also seamlessly handle port-forwarding for web dev.

IMO this is the best feature of VSCode.
I look forward to seeing it. NVIDIA needs real competition for their own benefit if not the market as a whole. I want a richer ecosystem where Intel, AMD, NVIDIA and other players all join in with the winner being the consumer. From a selfish point of view I also want to do more home experimentation. LLMs are so new that you can make breakthroughs without a huge team but it really helps to have hardware to make it easier to play with ideas. Consumer card memory limitations are hurting that right now.
I strongly disagree. Yes, speaking is more important than reading, but being illiterate in a modern society is not fun. And as the other comment said, having to use your phone all the time gets old really fast.

Which is basically a mental illness.
There’s no reason to do it though. The sawstop is in the body of the tablesaw. It doesn’t get in the way. The only reason I can see someone try to disable it is that really wet (and I mean soaking) wood might set it off.
Get a bluetooth DAC like the Qudelix 5k or Fiio BTR series.
croissants (and any other delicate pastry) require precise humidity and temperature control for reliable results.

Think PID controllers which control the heat/humidity through the baking cycle, or, conveyer-based systems with zones of specific temperature/humidity.

In addition, very modern systems, they are using computer vision systems to dynamically analyze the baking to ensure perfect doneness.

More repeatable results with less skilled labor is less waste is more profits.
Yes that's why I qualified "serious" dogfooding. Of course you use your hardware for your own development work, but it's clearly not enough given that showstopper driver issues are going unfixed for half a year.
You have SYCLomatic to help.
Ha thanks for jogging my memory. I knew pidgin wasn't the first or even the primary one I used but I couldn't recall what else I had used.
One more thing that's said I'd like to underline because it's often overlooked but has tremendous importance is the identity "ownership". If individuals and companies could easily prove who they are (to build trust) through government services, the internet would be a much better place. It's an idea that's almost forgotten but there have been numerous attempts in the past to make this happen, and it could be the building block of a better internet. Big companies would no longer need to be intermediaries for sorting out spam from search results and ranking trust ratings for e-commerce. A micro-payment network could fund small time creators who would also build a name. Things would be better. I'm hopeful that in the next 10 years after LLM garbage takes over the world by storm something like this will emerge.

Not directly related to the course, but, should anybody want to see what programming on the PS1 would look like using only modern tools (latest GCC, CMake, no third party libraries), I've written a few bare metal C examples that explain in depth how the console's hardware works [1]. Currently only graphics and input are covered, but I'm planning to add examples showing how to handle interrupts, play audio and access the CD-ROM next.

Hey I just wanted to chime in and say that I spent a lot of time in my infancy/youth playing crash bandicoot, thank you very much.

Also, i’ve seen many videos on YouTube about all the crazy things you had to do to make stuff work. And every time i get to read some additional detail it’s always super intriguing…

Have you considered doing something like a documentary? Like, a series of long form videos on the topic? With interviews to people involved etc?

There's two separate ideas when it comes to technology: what it can be, and what it actually is.

After nearly 70 years, I think we need to take a hard look at what nuclear actually is. And it's a fantastically complex, wondrously large, construction project, that has to last a long long time without big repairs.

To the best of our knowledge of technology and industry, something like that does not typically get cheap. We may get slightly better at doing it, but there's a vanishingly small chance that we will hit a 10x reduction in cost for nuclear, and almost certainty that we will not hit a 100x reduction in cost. For anything like that, we'd need a massive new tech breakthrough such that it would be considered an entirely new technology. That breakthrough would be the underlying tech, not using neutrons and chains of nuclear reactions to generate heat.

In contrast, we have several technologies in hand that are going to see a 10x-100x reduction in cost, and even at current prices are competitive or the market leader: wind, solar, and batteries.

Look at any part of the country where there's an electricity market with any sort of freedom of generation, and new generation is dominated by wind, solar, and batteries. That's going to get more extreme in coming decades. Energy generation is going to get ever cheaper. (That doesn't mean that grid electricity will necessarily get cheaper, utilities will recoup lost revenue by making transmission and distribution more expensive, because they are very good at tricking regulators.)(

In any case, give nuclear a shot. But current attempts are skating to where the puck was 5-10 years ago, and they won't finish until the puck has spent 10-15 years more of shifting towards ever cheaper solar, wind, and batteries.

We all grew up with nuclear as the power source in our science fiction stories. But without a SF level advance in nuclear technology (e.g. direct neutron momentum-->electricity), we know that nuclear will at the very best be a tiny player in the future energy world.
Because as Japan and Germany demonstrated, nuclear events cause masses of people to become hyper emotional, hyper irrational in their thinking. The Japanese and Germans are not known for their wildly emotional thinking, to emphasize the context.

You're trying to apply logical thinking to a subject that historically has been governed by emotion: how people feel about it.
Performance comparison against the original?
Just because it isn't totalitarian doesn't mean it isn't authoritarian. There is no rule of law, if the STF decides to go for someone they will be the accuser, investigator, judge and even the legislator. That person will be fucked regardless of what the law says.
I don’t understand how you can hurt yourself with a jointer (presuming you’re using a push stick and pad to push the wood down from the top). There’s no risk of kickback and most jointers these days come with spring loaded blade guards that only expose enough of the blade that the wood makes contact with.
