>I grew up as a proud resident of New Hampshire which has no such law on the books despite being one of the safest states to drive in the USA.

Last time I checked, you couldn't legally sell a car in New Hampshire which did not have seatbelts.

You're comparing apples to cardboard boxes here.

>Motorcycles are legal so why shouldn’t driving alone without a seatbelt?

Irrelevant. The question you need to ask for a fair comparison is:

>Motorcycles are legal so why shouldn’t SELLING A CAR without a seatbelt?

The answer is: because these are different vehicles with different use cases (and adoption levels) that require different kinds of licenses to operate and have different kind of negative externalities.

Same reason motorcycles aren't required to have airbags.
Probably, Elon has some quote about how creating a successful new car company isn't hard because cars are hard to design.

It's hard because cars are generally sold with razor thin margins and all the money is made selling parts and service. Seems crazy but perhaps this is actually true.

The answers don't really go into what I think is the main issue:

An introductory computer architecture course is generally starting from "here is what a transistor is" and hoping to end with "here is how basic computer games work" (e.g., nand2tetris). And has about 40 hours of instruction to do it.

Assembly is but a small part of the course. The ideal assembly language for such a course is one that is simple, something that you can let the interested student figure out how to implement it themselves with just a little bit of prompting. And frankly, most assembly languages aren't up to that task, even if you're willing to pretend that most of the ISA doesn't exist. x86 has issues with things like ModR/M or two-address instructions. ARM has things like r15-is-actually-the-program-counter-and-kinda-special. RISC-V coalesces most of the jump instructions into one or two instructions that is going to complete teaching subroutines in assembly (and also eschews condition codes).

At the end of the day, the stuff you're covering in introductory computer architecture is very far in almost every detail from how modern computers work, and it will take several courses on top of it to actually reach those details. The most important goal of such a course isn't to teach you how they work, it's to give you the information you need to understand the explanations of how they actually work.
Python projects depress me because of the dependency management problem.
>Well written. I don't know why responsibility is so scary.

Sure! I'm withyou!

People who buy table saws with a failsafe mechanism should not be fined for not using the failsafe or disabling it.

...selling the table saw without that mechanism should be, however, banned - just like cars without seatbelts or airbags aren't legal to sell in New Hampshire (or any other US state).
I have a web form on my website which is used mainly by spammers and my Dad. So when he can't seem to email me, there is always a backup that works. Parents demand highly redundant systems of their techno offspring.
PHP is still my go to for anything web-page based that's not a single page app. It's just a really nice solution for protoyping and making web quickly. I mean, custom stuff, not wordpress.

A lot of my successful projects have been rewritten later in nodejs. But for getting something up and running to test a concept, PHP is great if you're comfortable with its idiosyncracies.

I'd say Python is just as idiosyncratic, and its packaging system is just too much of a pain point. And Node doesn't ship with mature database interfaces, its dependencies are scary, there's more concern about runaway scripts, crashes are harder to recover from, and a lot of times all you really want from a router is to serve your file structure with some access rules.

I think PHP is still the best choice for prototyping dynamic HTML and logic fast, without any packages or plug-ins. A lotta times I still even use it for short CLI scripts and cron tasks that do database ops.

Even a 1 person = 1 spreadsheet cell analysis takes into account that economic output can vary with human capital investment. Low income countries struggle to break out of poverty traps by draining swamps, vaccinating, and offering universal public education. You can't work productively if you've got malaria or can't read. Otto Von Bismarck instituted sickness funds to deflate support for socialism.
I think you are ethically correct to do so. I even think you would be ethically correct to lend out your only copy (as long as you really were certain that it was and would remain the only copy, so, lending it out to somebody who was completely trustworthy).

The only thing I question about all this ethics-wise: is it really ethical to purchase the item in the first place? I feel bad about all my Amazon books at this point, I’ve spent a bunch of money supporting an ecosystem that harms people who aren’t technically savvy enough to break DRM (actually, technically this includes me, I’m sure I could, but I haven’t looked into it or put the software together!). I do worry that solutions like this make the whole bad situation more bearable for the most-engaged segment, who could otherwise be leading the charge to something better.

Yes, and yet for many years now that's exactly the perpetual mistake that so many companies - both small ones and ones not in technology - would make because they assumed that if Google did it that way, it must automatically be the best.
Yes, and thus the people who need an IPv4 address really need an IPv4 address, and you can charge them for it. And they will pay whatever you ask.
I like this idea. It would be great to add to already existing camera systems.

I see a privacy issue, but if it is incorporated into existing systems, what is the difference?

Maybe alert the security person who is supposed to be watching the cameras instead of calling 911, this would eliminate false positives.

The alternative is not to have if and stay where we are...
The cynical part of me says that he's just dropping a hint to keep the Australian government licking American boot. Buy them time while their international reputation is at an all time low, and the government is losing face for supporting US friends' ethnic cleansing operations.

We use ARM. Because then we can lean on some things (e.g. the ARMlite simulator) UK schools built for A-levels.
One of the reasons why they used Scheme for MIT's 6.001 is because it was an obscure programming language. At the time, some incoming MIT freshmen were likely to have faffed about with computers in high school or before, learning languages such as BASIC or Pascal. Others would have had little to no computer exposure before entering university. Scheme, being a Lisp and having semantics that were quite different from BASIC, Pascal, or any other language such students were likely to encounter, allowed all students to begin on a more or less equal footing because the programming language used for pedagogy would have been equally unfamiliar to all of them.

Obscure CPUs have the same advantage. Plus with careful choice of architecture, or simply inventing your own, you make pedagogy much simpler because the architecture doesn't have all the complicated bits like branch predictors, register windows, speculative execution, etc. that modern CPUs have and you can focus on the basic, "must-have" components.
Our economy is in a bubble like everything else. In the 1960s a Big Mac meal cost under a dollar, now in California it is $18. We are headed for a Great Depression as AI and innovation eats jobs, and people will have to learn new skills to find a job.

There is an article called The Rise of the Rest: https://fareedzakaria.com/columns/2008/05/12/the-rise-of-the... that talked about Russia getting more aggressive, and everyone else growing their economies and competing with the USA and Europe. It is a global economy and a global war.

I don't have any connection to anyone at PGMusic but BiaB already implements a technique that could be described as AI or AI-like.

Having played music nearly all my life, songwriting included, and soaked up almost every bit of music-making tech in the process, I'd wager we won't see AI delivering better results more easily and, importantly, with the flexibility of Band in a Box within the next year.

The playing/performance part of making music is a solved problem. You can do this with DAWs and plug-ins today. The truly hard part is coming up with the ideas. That's where AI has an opportunity.
The DOM has two different APIs, a batch and a piecewise ones. The batch one is incredibly optimized in all the browsers, while the piecewise one usually do not receive any attention at all.

Now, FFI the interface between WASM and JS is incredibly slow. That's by design. I guess the goal was to push every important API into WASM, and leave the FFI just for interfacing code, like on normal environments. People avoid problems with it by batching their data and interfacing as few times as possible, but just like on the JS DOM interface, this is a severe constrain on your code.
Err what? I won't say many nice things about Comcast, but they treat IPv6 as a first-class network citizen and actually follow all the best practices for IPv6 (like DHCP-PD'ing /56's by default). Their support for IPv6 is top notch.
Here's the thing I really don't get about Threads... so now when you are on Facebook, Meta is constantly pushing you to Instagram. And within Instagram, they are constantly trying to push you to Threads. The whole thing is just a mess and as someone who pays for advertising and is trying to push content, there is nothing about it that is easy or understandable. Further - it's clear that the FB demographic is older, and I'm guessing skews female. Instagram is a bit younger and I guess you could make the argument is more video-oriented. Threads is like a wasteland - the only reason anyone has an account there is because of this weird feedback loop with Facebook and Instagram where you likely created one almost by accident. It's not at all clear why anyone would use it over Instagram other than the typical goldrush mentality of trying to claim your name there first. It's all so very messed up.
> If I were teaching computer architecture, I would use an ARM chip in a Raspberry Pi.

Someone in US congress can earn millions from their offices. But that is amateur money compared to the vast swaths of the Chinese economy controlled by China's red families. Even Wen Jiabao's mom was in on it with a massive jewelry empire (heck, I remember being surprised she was still alive in the 2010s), and the Chinese government only gave credibility to the story that outed this by blocking the NyTimes over it.
lol this is an insane ruling, there’s no way this will actually happen.
I'm assuming you'd replace all the wires on the transmission tower set before applying higher power rates to it. Think of each wire on a power pole like a single wire inside of a cat5 bundle. You wouldn't plug it in to a 10Gb nic until they were all upgraded to cat6/7 capability.
I personally think S/MIME is better than PGP. The "key exchange problem" is solved more pragmatically and user-friendly (send an unencrypted but signed email once, your/their client will automatically remember keys for encryption afterwards). And most pre-installed email clients support S/MIME natively (e.g. Apple Mail, Outlook, even the web email apps).

The only annoyance is that it's too difficult to acquire a certificate as an individual, but e.g. Actalis [1] will issue one for free.

What does one have to do with the other? Algorithms to generate and imitate email text exist as well.

If you want to be able to trust the content, you need to encrypt and authenticate that, no matter the channel.

And many VoIP/video conferencing systems these days are end-to-end encrypted! It’s arguably easier than email, since communication is synchronous and there isn’t any expectation of being able to view past conversations, both of which are not true for email.
After playing with this for a while, there are two things I have to say.

First, this is amazingly good. I did not expect us to be this far wrt generated music so quickly. If this pace holds, I fully expect some Udio-generated tracks to become a significant part of my daily tracklist in not so distant future.

Second, I do have several fictitious bands on https://chirper.ai, complete with fake albums and track lists and, in some cases, lyrics. I'm actually trying to plug some of that into Udio with variously hilarious results (the bands include stuff like fundamentalist Islamic black metal and reggaeton deathcore, so this is very much as intended). But it occurred to me that it would actually be pretty neat to be able to set up a virtual band like that and basically let them have a go at it, composing whole new albums etc + some kind of feedback channel where you can give feedback about what they produce, e.g. in form of YouTube-like comments on the tracks. The idea is basically to produce coherent output that is consistent with the artist persona as defined, going beyond musical genres alone.

Even better if this all could be fully integrated with Chirper and similar services - so that such bots can post about new releases and get themes for their songs from interactions on other platforms etc.

No, 36% is the overall Assistance Competence score as ADAS systems demand driver engagement to be operated safely. In case you did not know, Tesla ADAS systems must only be used with a fully attentive driver and require you to "keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times [1]". Failure to ensure driver attention is how you kills tens to hundreds of people as Tesla admits is the cause for the numerous deaths while using their system.

I played around with RWKV some time ago (maybe early 2023?) with similarly disappointing results, but my suspicion was that this was a dataset/training issue, not an architectural one. Leaderboard performance has improved a lot since then, and anecdotally, I've seen/heard some quite decent RWKV TTS experiments, so I'm bullish.

Also, the team has incorporated/raised money from investors (recursal.ai), so it's no longer a one man effort.
Even publishing a key as “searchable by email” should absolutely not be taken as an invitation by any client to encrypt by default, given the somewhat lacking ergonomics of GnuPG.

I have a key published, but if somebody emails me encrypting to it, it would take me days to figure out where my smart card storing the private key is, how to use it on my current OS etc.

I'm not saying such conversations are pleasant or make you like someone, when it's your own life or addictions or obsessions that are being criticized. But I've been on the receiving end of it and I'm willing to listen and consider someone else's perspective and whether it's true and whether I might need to look at reforming my behavior if people are telling me these things. I can deal with harshness if I believe they are the kind of person who isn't doing it to puff themselves up or make themselves feel better, but is simply giving me a cold analysis.

I feel like when your reaction is to detach from that and rely on emotional arguments to say it's emotionally impossible for you to handle the person criticizing you, that's when you've crossed a Rubicon after which nothing anyone says will change your self destructive behavior.

I'm saying this as someone whose two sisters both died from drug abuse in their 20s. Some people tried to reach them with empathy and others with criticism, but it's the point where someone says "I can't listen to this and I won't be subjected to this" that they become a victim in their own head of other people's harshness rather than being able to look objectively at their own state in a way that might let them change course.

In other words, content is more important than style. If you turn off because of style, that's an excuse to avoid thinking about the content. The people I know who survived are the ones who didn't use the style or delivery of the criticism directed at them as an excuse to avoid thinking about and self-reflecting on the content of what was being said.

I was wondering how you can trust an IFPS gateway, does does browser verify the file is legit using some checksum? Maybw subresource integrity supports IPFS content hashing or something? How does it generate cid anyway ?

How would you use SRI here to verify the cid (and not an additional out-of-band hash) make sure the gateway isn’t returning some crap to, say, inject malicious JS?
