I have worked with DD and have some DA laying around. The UPDI is a very nice and simple programming interface. All that it takes is a USB-UART and a diode or a resistor (I used a diode) to connect between RX/TX.

I didn’t used ATmega a lot, but comparing the experience to MSP430 and EFM8 the AVR chip has a bunch of niceties, superb documentation and life improvements like, in order to clear some registers all one need to do is write 1 instead of the whole =& ~(REG | 0x8) (or something like that, it’s been a while since I write embedded C)

The other thing that I loved is that one can download headers for the chip directly from the manufacturer!

Way too many chip manufacturers keep locking headers/libraries behind their proprietary IDEs, but Microchip, even though they have an IDE let’s you download the headers so one can use whatever tooling one is comfortable with! Props to Microchip for that!!
I've spent years working with TTL so 5V is just more convenient. Besides USB is 5VDC as well. When breadboarding, more than once I've mixed up 3.3V and 5V domains with dire consequences - always on the 3.3V side.

Unless I really need WiFi, I prefer to go with ATmega. Once you get used to writing structured assembly language, you can get so much more functionality fit within flash memory.
I lived in Amsterdam for a long time, and the Dutch government initially took a very liberal stance on squatting exactly for the reasons you mentioned. And initially it seemed to work, the squatters were a mix of idealists, artists and others, otoh property owners tried to find creative ways to make sure their properties didn't stay inhabited for too long, e.g. by renting it out temporarily.

However after some years, the situation slowly changed: more and more squatters were drug addicts, who ofc couldn't afford to pay rent; also the word spread outside of NL that it was possible to go to Amsterdam and live there for free, so loads of immigrants came with no intention to rent at all.

Apart from that, squatting exposed another problem: the squatters typically didn't care too much about their home or neighbourhood, after all it was not theirs and sooner or later they'd have to move out again.
So they typically caused a lot of irritation with their neighbours because of garbage of noise.
In the end, squatters in NL lost most of the goodwill they had with the Dutch government, and stricter anti squatting laws are now in place.

That's a weird article, because most of them don't even fit a reasonable person's definition of a "lie". The majority of them are overconfident predictions of the future, or differences of opinion between Musk and the author of this listicle.

For a person who does and says so much in public, the notion that a "top ten" list of "lies" needed so much filler is, IMHO, a compelling case for the inverse assertion.

These locations required many decades of thoughtful planning to almost reach 2.0 TFR (sans the first example, which is over 2).

The wealthier a country is, the more $ required to break the opportunity cost calculus.

E.g. the US would require over $200k in subsidies per child to reach native fertility rates over 2.1 amongst the non-orthodox religious subset.

Likelihood that this happens amongst the boomer class that still thinks like Malthus on average? Zero. They have all the political power, but no incentive.

I hear that and I will admit that lately it does seem to get in the way a lot more often than expected ( my bank in my recent interaction removed branch connection for a specific application and moved everything to an online process, to which direct link is an ad tracker ). Still, wife now has gotten used to no ads ( almost ) anywhere and is starting to see what the benefits can be.

Sadly, if I am targeted, there is no escape. I am privacy conscious, but I also have a family and try to live in a society in a sufficiently comfortable manner. It is a tough balancing act. In a sense, it is not that different from guerrilla warfare. There is no defense against sufficiently motivated entity that is not exhausting. My only solace is that I am a low value target so it does not seem that likely. Still, what are the odds of me pissing off someone sufficiently important? Non-zero for certain.

That’s not how it was among the Germanic peoples at least. They followed people who were called “gold-giver”. It was seen as the responsibility of the leader to bring wealth to his followers in exchange for their loyalty and courage. I think Christianity changed that expectation to some degree.
Exactly, just warning people who search YouTube to be alert, the sophistication of scammers with low cost compute is getting high.
It is a SpaceX approach. The brain is given for you so you don't strain your limbs unnecessarily, and the limbs are given for you so you don't strain your brain unnecessarily. So try it, see how it works (or rather doesn't work), decide on how to apply your brains for the next iteration.

And maybe it is a PR strategy: it is fun to watch, the public really see the progress, so it is good for stocks.

But in any case, these all Starships are prototypes, they are meant to fail.

> Don't they already have the knowledge and tech to achieve this?

One could say they don't have all the knowledge, and they lacks some tech. Second stage got clogged thrusters and couldn't orient itself. I believe, that it was ice: there was something white on the video. Compressed gases tend to cool to really low temperatures when they evaporate. Maybe the was water in them, or they themselves started to crystallize.

The booster run into troubles with liquid oxigen filters. I cannot say what happened, but some engines didn't restart. It is much better then with the first test when engines didn't start at T-0:00, but still is not good enough.

Now the second stage will run probably into issues with its heat shield. If it will be able to orient itself properly, unlike the last time.
> The Falcon 9 is, by a wide margin, the most reliable rocket ever built. It's had 341 successful launches and 2 failures.

I think it's worth pointing out that the failures were early in F9's life, and that the current configuration "F9 v1.2FT Block 5" has had no failures to launch and remarkable success when it comes to landing the booster.

> But if you're Arab Israeli, you don't have the same slate of rights and representation that Jewish Israelis have.

You're mixing up two different things. Arab Israelis (as Israel calls them) are Israeli citizens. They have the same rights as any Israeli citizen.

Freedom of movement to and from the Gaza strip is of Gazans, who are not Israeli citizens, and they indeed don't have the same rights in Israel as Israeli citizens.

Companies will make less money as a result of the tax, but the consumer will also be paying for it through higher prices. Just because companies end paying a part of the tax, it doesn't mean that the consumer isn't paying.

Additionally, fewer people will enjoy the service which is bad for everyone. Arguably people will get to enjoy whatever the tax is funding, but will they want to?
> Is there any argument here other than "Adorno is an old git who hates change, young people, and popular entertainment"?

I think there is a very serious argument going on here. The nub of it is in this paragraph:

> I don’t think there’s any such thing as a pedagogical path to the essential that starts out by getting people to concentrate on the inessential. This sort of attention that fixates on the inessential actually indurates; it becomes habitual and thereby interferes with one’s experience of the essential. I don’t believe that when it comes to art there can ever be any processes of gradual familiarization that gradually lead from what’s wrong to what’s right. Artistic experience always consists in qualitative leaps and never in that murky sort of process.

Adorno is basically saying that the distortion of the experience of listening to music inevitably caused by dressing it up for mass broadcast results in a dilution of what is 'essential' in that music – roughly speaking, the capacity for revelation. The attempt to make the music more 'accessible', usually by cloaking it in cliché (what he calls here "the whole Salzburg phantasmagoria"), divests it of the potential to be revelatory. It actively lessens the chance of experiencing one of the "qualitative leaps" of understanding he's looking for in music—something beyond words, beyond discourse; an experience of the sublime, of something both absolutely beyond us and yet, afterwards, constitutive of us. Something that cannot be learned (no "pedagogical path"), but which can be known. It's obviously a high bar to set (almost insane, certainly irrational, to most people today) but it's worth engaging with, I think.

I think you're right that Adorno would despise most YouTube musicians. After all, there is hardly a better example of the fetishisation of technique, equipment, and process (not to mention the unquestioning habituation to cliché) than what you'll find on the average YouTuber's channel. (I say this as a regular watcher of many YouTube guitarists, some of whom I really like.) The idea, totally general on such channels, that you can follow existing patterns and paths to mastery (where the satisfaction comes from memetic reproduction of the already known) is obviously antithetical to the view of art and revelation outlined above.

Finally, I don't think there's anything conservative about Adorno's argument here. He is ultimately arguing against holding up what already exists (the Western classical tradition, in this case) as a fixed symbol of greatness, ready to bestow its gifts of historical authority and sophistication on anyone intelligent enough to encounter it. Adorno is saying the greatness of a work cannot be divorced from the nature of both its presentation and the audience's engagement with it. It is a sometimes subtle but I think fundamental difference of perspective to the conservative view of 'the canon'.
>also make "storing your private copy on Google Drive or Dropbox" illegal.

It already is illegal to make photo's available to third parties for commercial purposes, which is what is happening when you upload your pictures to Google Drive or Dropbox.

So, prosecute it when it happens. Don't prejudice the law against people exercising their human rights - use the law when the criminal act has been committed, not before.

> illogical

Its illogical to expect that anything you do in a public, common part of the world, cannot be recorded by you or anyone else around you. This prevents our societies from having a functional system - to gain evidence, to make natural observations about our environment, and so on.

Yeah I'm dumb when it comes to legal stuff, but my guess is that defining a threshold with a good balance while also not inconveniencing the common citizen wouldn't be as easy as it might first appear, at least without causing some unintended consequences that people might not think about when proposing "'just' do X".

But like I said, I'm dumb when it comes to this topic.
Thanks for the feedback!

You're right, there is a big room for improvement there.

I remember a number of years ago getting a cheap 1-year Lightroom susbscription as part of a promo.

Got it installed, loaded up a few photos. Then went back to the directory to load the photos in a different program for comparison.

The photos were deleted from my hard drive!

They were loaded into Lightroom's cloud service, and without my knowledge or permission (and I was using the just-installed defaults) it had deleted those files I had touched with Lightroom and "helpfully" uploaded them.

I uninstalled Lightroom within the hour.

If you read between the lines, they're actually saying that agile projects fail to finish on time 268% more often.

Not finishing on time is a very different thing from failing. Especially for agile, where you're supposed to deliver the parts that provide the most value early.

After WW2, the US was the manufacturing superpower of the world, and it made the US very wealthy. China has since taken that spot, and the US didn't have any major play in the global economy. Starting with Obama, the US started investing heavily into tech via regulatory dismemberment and fiscal policy (ZIRP). The tech monopoloy is intended so that the US has control of a market in the global economy.
It's never unsealed. `tpm2-totp` does an encrypted session to the TPM and runs `TPM2_HMAC` on the TPM shielded key, you can also include PCRs to add further authentication to this entire exchange.

(All of this is trivially solved with glitter nail polish anyway.)
There are not all cathedrals, actually. They are seven sacred sites dedicated to St Michael (of which there are many all over Europe).

If they really were cathedrals, a coincidence would have been extraordinary.
I got to talk to one of the wealthiest apartment owners in my state a few years back. He gave me a lot of details of his financial formula, which was really interesting.

But one thing is found critical is that he always made sure his apartments were priced at the low end. He’d rather make sure they were all full all the time instead of dealing with volatility.

The man is hugely successful and they just named one of the colleges after him at my University.

> What is worth repeating this is no different than any other occupied territory in the world or in history. When the US occupied Germany it didn't allow Germans voting rights. When it occupied Japan it didn't give Japanese voting rights. When it occupied Afghanistan or Iraq it didn't give those voting rights either.

It is a lot different from any of those examples, mainly because the U.S. didn’t annex the parts of those countries it cared about (see East Jerusalem), didn’t start moving its own people to the rest of the territory carving it up like Swiss cheese, didn’t prevent people from going and coming, didn’t heavily restrict trade between those countries and their neighbors, etc.

So while indeed they were militarily occupied, the degree of functional civilian control by the democratically elected governments were far greater than that enjoyed in Palestine by the PA or by Hamas.

I agree that the situation in Puerto Rico is undemocratic but again, it’s not nearly as egregious for lots of reasons.

> This is what international law mandates. Israel is prohibited from annexing this territory by said international law. When Israel annexed other occupied territory and gave residents rights (The Golan Heights) the international community refused to accept that.

It is laughable to claim the reason for anything Israel does is “international law” when they flaunt it so cavalierly. Really, they didn’t mind the international legal implications of annexing East Jerusalem or building settlements in the West Bank, but the reason they refuse to annex the rest of it and give people citizenship is because of international law?

That’s clearly not the case. They have taken the parts they care about either by annexation or pseudo-annexation (settlements). The reason they don’t want to annex the rest is because they don’t want Arabs to be nearly half their citizens (annexing it without granting citizenship would be too egregious to ignore in the eyes of the rest of the world) and because there’s nothing there that they want. Expect this to change if the trend of Israel becoming more and more right wing continues.

It actually just cost me an average hourly rate for therapy! It feels expensive considering that I had to pay for 7 hours at a time but it really just cost a regular hourly wage. Oh I'm so thankful to my therapists. Oh did I not mention? I had TWO therapists with me the whole time so in a sense I only paid for half of what I received. Amazing. And yes, that's standard practice per the MAPS guidelines for the therapy. We need to get this legalized now.
They wouldn't have had such increased energy costs had their data centers not been in Germany. There's a reason most are in the Nordics, UK, France etc. cold-ish places and/or with cheap energy.
Indeed. Even a pretty mediocre modern microcontroller is capable of incredible feats of computation and speed, doubly so if you glue it to an FPGA, even a cheapo one. The fact that each is probably a few mm across and costs almost nothing just adds to it. Many analogue devices and DSP systems would be downright supernatural if you showed it to an engineer in the 70s.

99% of computing power is used for "make work"¹ (graphics, teetering stacks of abstraction and now AI) so things don't really feel different to humans on a desktop level other than "shinier, drop shadows and in 4k I guess?", but the actual capabilities of computers are virtually unlimited in the context of some tasks.

If the robots turn against us and they don't need to use all their cycles on the abstractions and other human frippery, then we're really in trouble. A true AGI will know how to wring everything out of a scrap of silicon and human engineers will be wondering how a program that looks like random noise and fits in a STM8 can possibly be the controller of a captured drone, right before they get headshotted with a ball bearing fired by a passing drone at 1000 feet that picked their heartbeats out of the ambient soundscape or something.

Humans' best defense then would be somehow hide behind something computationally intractable where the AI couldn't use it's raw computing power. I'm not really sure what that would be, though (if I were, I'd probably write a novel!).

¹: well technically all human endeavour is make work, so this isn't meant as a slight, though I have some opinions on the state of modern software, just that the vast majority of the cycles aren't doing the core thing you're trying to use the computer to do. For example a graphical calculator program may be running the thick end of a hundred million instructions to run a handful of actual ALU ops.
