They're there for a model change. We don't need more cars, we need less cars (and less of several other things). So the agenda is very simple: just don't build. And yes, maybe Tesla will go somewhere else but other activists will fight there.

And yes, activists will loose that fight, but they'll go on and ultimately, things will change. Paid holidays came like this. The end of slavery too. And a few other things.

There's no "realistic solution" because there is simply no choice to make. It's just "no means no".

Now, hopefully, those activists won't buy cars or buy the least possible. And that will have an effect too. But then you'll say: "if we stop selling cars then what's the solution? what about the workforce". Then again: they'll do something else. Because the governments don't want to see unemployment. And maybe there will be too much unemployment. But then again, maybe it's time to adapt to a new world where 50% of population is unemployed. But believe me, when that number will be big enough, politics will adapt.

I suspect he's wrong because he's disabled some of KeepassXC's most important security features.

One of the largest security threats to users is phishing websites, getting an email and clicking a link, and then typing your actual password into some fake hacker's webpage.

Having browser integration in your password manager, such that it auto-enters the right password on "real-bank.com", but doesn't enter it on "rel-bank.com", is a strong protection against phishing.

The maintainer disabled the browser integration for KeepassXC, which forces users to copy+paste passwords into webpage's password inputs, making them significantly more vulnerable to phishing.

Their fear-mongering about supply-chain attacks and bugs in more LoC is silly when compared to the very real threat of phishing attacks, which are way more prevalent and a way more severe threat.

Couldn't agree more. Cook deserves so much hate for what he did to Apple. I'm astounded people still worship Apple like nothing has changed at all.

All the changes under the Cook leadership are appalling and reveal what is definitely one of the worse character you can get as a leader. At this point even Bill Gates looks like a good guy in comparison.

ADHD doesn't affect everyone the same though.

For example, I have ADHD. I learned to drive at 15, got my license at 16, and managed to get my first speeding ticket at the age of 30, and my first car accident at 31 (of which I wasn't at fault). I wasn't diagnosed/medicated until I was almost 23.I do not think I am any better nor worse than the average driver either. Perhaps I have been lucky, but who knows?

Also, just because one is medicated does not mean it magically reduces all symptoms. IIRC, I think most adults only get something like 50% reduction in symptoms at best.

In my experiences, I find the efficacy of ADHD medication to be vastly overstated. I think this is mainly due to a strong honeymoon period the medication provides in the beginning. What I mean is that, the medications are extremely effective for a certain time period, but the longer one is one the medications the greater the diminishing returns become. There are only so many options/formulations and dosages can only be increased to an extent.

Also, euphoria is a very common side-effect when first starting the medications. So, a lot of life-changing anecdotes that people comment on the Internet in the beginning of treatment should be taken with a grain of salt. After a decade of treatment, most people cannot tell if I am medicated or not anymore. As in, most people think I am not medicated despite being so.

I get it, but I absolutely hate that this question has to come up every time anything gets "too much" attention. I wish we could just put off the out-loud doubt a little more, even if it often turns out to be validated. It usually doesn't feel like the negativity is a good trade-off for the benefit of potentially rightfully calling out astroturfing.

For what it's worth, this one is published by Dunkey, a popular comedic (i.e. memeable) video game YouTuber, so I'm not surprised to see it get a lot of talk.

> We don't need more cars, we need less cars (and less of several other things). So the agenda is very simple: just don't build

Then motion for capping car sales, or adding a massive tax to them. This protest just shifts supply to imports and ICE vehicles. More pointedly: to cars not made in their backyard.

It has zero effect on Germany’s car cult743 because they’re not targeting cars broadly, they’re not even targeting cars near them; they’re targeting this (and only this) factory.

> when that number will be big enough, politics will adapt

If protests cause 50% unemployment (or a 50% drop in living standards), the historic political adaptation is a government that ends the right to protest.

Right. The arguments for the study of A.I. were that you will not discover the principles of flight by looking at a birds feather under an electron microscope.

It’s fascinating, but we aren’t going to understand intelligence this way. Emergent phenomenon are part of complexity theory, and we don’t have any maths for it. Our ignorance in this space is large.

When I was young, I remember a common refrain being “will a brain ever be able to understand itself?”. Perhaps not, but the drive towards understanding is still a worthy goal in my opinion. We need to make some breakthroughs in the study of complexity theory.

> that only showed Israel, with no Palestine nor Gaza nor West Bank marked on it

1) Look at a map of Palestine in 1947. Now look at the Palestinian flag side by side with the Jordanian flag. I bet you can figure this one out.

2) When did the nation of Palestine ever have their own land and national identity, prior to 1948? Who was their president/leader?

3) On that note, where was Arafat born?

The thing is- this whole farce of "Palestine" is, in fact, nonsense, and the obvious real answer to peace if the Arab refugees from 48 want to call themselves after an old Roman slur to the Jews is for Jordan to designate a chunk.

There's like, what, two million so-called Palestinians in Jordan already.

> There is also biblical-religious verses that Netanyahu has cited that have the same annihilation rhetoric, as far as I remember

I call B.S. the Torah not only doesn't encourage murdering Arabs of any kind, it outright prohibits it. The idealized Torah-based government encourages all the nations of the world to come and live and visit in Israel, provided they follow the 7 Noahide laws (which moderate forms of Islam do).

Be honest- did you just completely make up this point? What could you possibly be misremembering? Netanyahu has issues, but misquoting the Torah and using that misquote as a basis for an extreme position of genocide is _very_ out of character for him, doesn't ring true at all.

(there _is_ an imperative in the Torah to kill Amalekites. They don't exist anymore and it's completely irrelevant.)
When I grew up in the 80s in a typical middle class suburban family, restaurants were a real rare treat. Like something you did maybe once a year or so on birthdays or very special occasions. I've got to believe this whole "restaurant for lunch every day and for dinner twice a week" practice is relatively recent, and maybe limited to cities, at least in the USA (not sure about other countries).

As for my family, we've basically stopped going. It's just gotten ridiculous. The various hidden service charges, and tipping which has gotten way out of control (like really? you expect 25% for bringing me a microwaved Sysco meal?). $100 used to get you an amazing meal/experience for two, like something worthy of an Anniversary. Today, after all the taxes, tips, and fees, you can easily drop that for a mediocre Olive Garden "experience".

Preschool, they're hopefully very restricted on screen time, and might not want to encourage that.

With a bit older kids, once they're all allowed to use smartphones, tablets, or video games, showing them they could make a game, using kind of pedagogic morphs world platform (maybe Squeak or Scratch), could be great. You can let them show them something like how to make a car or character of shapes and make it move somehow, then ask for more ideas and live-implement them. (Try for direct manipulation and concrete and visual, minimizing textual/block code as much a possible.)

That blog post is now a decade old, but includes an important quote:

> The IEEE standard does guarantee some things. It guarantees more than the floating-point-math-is-mystical crowd realizes, but less than some programmers might think.

Summarizing the blog post, it highlights a few things though some less clearly than I would like:

* x87 was wonky

* You need to ensure rounding modes, flush-to-zero, etc. are consistently set

* Some older processors don't have FMA

* Approximate instructions (mmsqrtps et al.) don't have a consistent spec

* Compilers may reassociate expressions

For small routines and self-written libraries, it's straightforward, if painful to ensure you avoid all of that.

Briefly mentioned in the blog post is IEEE-754 (2008) made the spec more explicit, and effectively assumed the death of x87. It's 2024 now, so you can definitely avoid x87. Similarly, FMA is part of the IEEE-754 2008 spec, and has been built into all modern processors since (Haswell and later on Intel).

There are still cross-architecture differences like 8-wide AVX2 vs 4-wide NEON that can trip you up, but if you are writing assembly or intrinsics or just C that inspect with Compiler Explorer or objdump, you can look at the output and say "Yep, that'll be consistent".
My 1st grader loooves tape. And dolls. And we order Amazon regularly. We have purchased one of the simple cardboard knives.

The simple level is to turn the Amazon boxes into doll houses.

Slightly more advanced is to make furniture for the dolls. Like a simple shoebox quickly becomes a Barbie closet.

For bigger boxes, given the right shape, it is easly to cut and fold a high hair.
One really fascinating thing is that the earliest known life we have on Earth is unexpectedly complex in terms of its DNA. If one looks at how the complexity evolved to modern day, and then ectrapolates backwards, it looks like the DNA would have been pretty simple around the time when the universe was still reasonably warm. So, it could have happened that very simple lifeforms formed on somewhere in the early universe and arrived on Earth on asteroids.

The author did mention about fixed point was very popular for gamedev before floating point becoming popular due the increased in hardware capability, and most likely CORDIC was being used as well together with fixed point.

> In fact, before IEEE 754 became the popular standard that it is today, fixed point was used all the time (go and ask any gamedev who worked on stuff between 1980 and 2000ish and they'll tell you all about it).
I learned this approach in Code Complete, and is one of the approaches when dealing with C.
> Release code on a copy left license

It's not a copyleft licence, it's a modified BSD-style licence. Basically, you can do what you like with it, except (a) delete or replace the licence, and (b) trade on the names of Open Group or it's developers.

> crippling it with patents and some weird licensing BS.

Not to mention that part of the lock-in is that certified implementations MUST validate a certificate from a peer, which MUST have been issued by Thread Group, and they will only issue one to a licensee. That is, it literally won't work unless the implementor has a licence.

it's nice to see progress. from what I understand, this is already actionable (https://github.com/hao-ai-lab/Consistency_LLM) and perhaps giga-models like gpt4 (gpt5?) are already being upgraded to use this as I'm writing

I actually foresee many more incremental improvements like this, we're in the "polishing" phase of LLMs, I don't think there'll soon be a ChatGPT breakthrough moment in the ChatGPT itself, just these incremental improvs + the expected gain from any energy efficiency improv + any improv from just adding more tflops

I'm not sure that's true, we had a ton of anime in Europe in the 80s already.

The problem is that automatic memory management means to some newcomers that you don't have to worry about it. Which is not true at all.

These newcomers may have heard about it, may even understand it at some level, but it's not in their rote knowledge. GC is great if you know that every allocation you do is expensive and that you know that it will be taken care of properly, because it will be short-lived.

But I have seen many cases where people just don't have it in their conciousness why allocating huge arrays is a problem or why allocating a new Character object for every single character in a string might be bad. As soon as I point it out, they get it, but it's not like they thought of it while writing their algorithm.
> Individual expression had had some boosts during the Renaissance, during Romanticism (perhaps due to atheism, as a first response to globalism, and due to scientific discoveries regarding the mind) and again after World War II (perhaps due to the "American Dream" propaganda, and perhaps even as a way to fight communism?).

My understanding is that "individual expression" has been with us firmly since Romanticism (it was Beethoven who first promoted the idea that great artists are above kings). The whole "art for art's sake", artist as a high priest of culture etc. - these were all ideas that dominated the XIX century. They kind of withered in XX century after WW1, WW2 and Holocaust, and were replaced by post-modern modes of expression (i.e. we abandon search of the truth via art, because there is no "the" truth).
There are restrictions on calling conventions; it's not equivalent.

What's "underpowered" about it? 32 bit processor running at 144 MHz (so 144 MIPS, less branch or memory stalls). That's similar to a Pentium 100 or PPC 601/100. And it's using 20 mW, vs about 10 W for those, so a factor of 500 better in energy use.

Certainly faster CPUs exist, but you don't always need faster, and for what it does it is pretty efficient -- and for a suitably embarrassingly parallel task 256 of them are still low power (about 5W).

Why programmers choose convenience over performance?
Several tools are resource hungry, making it challenging for small businesses to keep up with server costs. Zod for example is 150 slower than regular typeof checks. I wrote small article for those who are interested https://www.drakos.me/article/Zod-is-150-times-slower. The problem is not Zod, but rather the programmers who lack the ability to write efficient code. As I write this, my VSCode uses 4.37GB RAM, my terminal Warp (Built in Rust) uses 976MB RAM and Spotify 1.28GB. These numbers are outrageous to an old senior programmer. Let’s not forget that Nasa managed to launch rockets to the moon with only 64kb of RAM.

Sense of discovery and exploration, the interaction between different game mechanics, and the way the game teaches you how to do things while still making the puzzles feel gratifying to solve. Atmosphere is so strong. The visuals, sound, and art design all come together really well.

There's really a lot to like here. Whether or not it's worth the hype is a different question, but I'm very impressed at this game especially considering it's a 1 person dev team.
Side note for 2023: Some modern MCUs are low cost, but have FPUs. A good example is the STM32G4. So, unlike on an M0 MCU or w/e, you can freely use f32, if you don't want fixed point. And you can get these for ~$1-2 / MCU.

That said... The G4 also has a hardware CORDIC peripheral that implements this algo for fixed-point uses. Is this mainly to avoid floating point precision losses? You program it using registers, but aren't implementing CORDIC yourself on the CPU; dedicated hardware inside the IC does it.
