FWIW, there are working and usable ports of EDK2 to the RPi4 (not sure about v5) so you can just throw the image on an attached USB drive. The FSBL then boots the EDK2 image, which can then load a generic UEFI image like normal. I used that reliably for quite a while; Fedora's generic UEFI aarch64 ISO worked out of the box with no extra fiddling, just burned it to a separate USB stick and booted the installer.

There's also some in progress ports of EDK2 to RK3588, and various other boards, though there's often some missing features as they need to be implemented properly in EDK.

Really, there's two parts to the whole story, the second being device enumeration, that gets handled by either a device tree blob (DTB) or via ACPI. For UEFI that means that either the UEFI build you're using needs to come with the DTBs pre-configured and embedded inside it so they can be passed to the OS you boot up. Or your device/build will be configured to use ACPI. (The story here is actually weirder than that on some devices where e.g. they have ACPI that requires enumeration, but they expose the actual raw DTBs from that, which you then pass on to the kernel, so you actually have to handle both.)

UBoot also has a minimal EFI implementation that you can use, though I don't know how much it implements or if a random generic AArch64 linux ISOs will work with it. Last I checked modern UBoot can even netboot over HTTPS these days, too, so if it could do all the above on a supported board, that would be awesome.
The funny thing about this is that Monopoly was designed to be a simulation of capitalism rather than a fun game. So it's arguably less of a simulation.

The only "victim" here is SUV vendors (and to a lesser extent, billboard owners), which I'm perfectly fine with. People can still buy SUVs if they want to.
A more charitable explanation: universities use publication frequency as a proxy for your academic worth. Once the "publish or perish" pressure is released, you can focus on paper quality over quantity. Given the fire hose of trivial academic publications filling up journals, that's good news for everyone.

My priors would go the opposite way: a full-body checkup cannot clear out the plaque in my arteries, lower my blood pressure, strength my vascular walls, and there's no miracle drugs that definitively address those. I think of a checkup that says "good to go, won't die in the next year!" is more like an auto checkup, where we do diagnostics then can take definitive action.

That being said saying odds are one of them dies before the election is uncomfortably high isn't something I'd subscribe to. Quick check here, using N=age-google-told-me and N+1, gets 1 in 18 and 1 in 13, 6% and 8%. If they were 60 it'd be 1%, 70, 2%.

Robots: The Library Book Problem
Back in the last century my University research involved finding a book in a library
(using an 8x8 pixel camera). I called it the "Steamed Glasses Problem" as virtually
everything was fuzzy. You had to trace the edge of letters to read them or trace
the edge of a book to recognize that it was a book and not the shelf.

These days I think that the "Library Book Problem" is a useful generalization.
I have several thousand books on 19 3x6 shelves. I would like the robot to be
able to perform various tasks, each one of which could be done in isolation.

0) Manipulate a book. Some are soft, some are heavy, some are fragile. Books
are generally oriented so titles read in the same direction. Some books have
titles in other languages. Sizes, colors, and fonts vary widely. Some information
is covered by bookstore stickers. Some can stand on edge, others fall. Stacks
and rows need to be stable. (Physics / Vision / Expectation Problems)

1) Find a book. This involves either searching or memory to find and navigate
to the current location. This is harder than it sounds based on issues like
lighting near the floor or faded lettering on the edges of older books. In
some cases I might have the book somewhere else in the house so it isn't where
the robot thinks it is (Independent Actor / World Model Problem).

2) Fetch a book. Beyond finding, this involves difficult tasks such as separating
an upright book from others, or removing a book from a horizontal pile on the shelf.
It also involves bending as at least half of the books are below waist level.
Removing a book can cause others to topple sideways.
(The Physics of Stability Problem, etc.)

3) Shelve a book. This involves a classification task of the book subject based on
some ordering such as Dewey Decimal or subject matter or other chosen semantics.
It is also difficult because it involves making space for the book by pushing
books apart or stacking the book in a pile that is stable by size. Some books
are too large to fit in the standard shelf space and need to be placed elsewhere.
(Multi-handed Manipulation Problem, Physics of Flexible Materials, etc.)

4) Shelve a new book. This involves knowing or learning the contents of the new
book or its Dewey Decimal or table of contents, classifying it relative to the
current collection, and inserting it in its "proper place" where I'd expect to
find it myself.

5) Recommend a book. Based on the library contents find "the best book" on a
given subject based on verbal stated criteria.

6) (humor) Defend the hoarding. Explain to people why I have so many books (/humor)

All of these are interesting research problems with subtle issues. For example,
if the needed book is on the bottom shelf the robot needs to bend very low.

Unlike a real library or a book store my home library has very limited space
making it necessary to "walk sideways" between the shelves and requiring odd
bending motions to reach lower shelves.

I can't wait to have access to a real robot and spend my days failing to
achieve any of these tasks. Despite that, you have to admit it is much more
interesting than playing with dishwashers :-)

I find it obnoxious to correspond with you.
There is also a similar thing many experienced people complain about: Eventually, you'll have to be able to explain the cost and merit of a technical decision in business terms.

Like, yeah I'm able to explain our postgres HA setup + DC-redundancy at fairly detailed technical level. But then a member of the board asks "Yeah but what does it cost and what benefit does it bring the customers and why?"

Finding a satisfying and comprehensive answer to that question takes a whole new perspective and made me understand a few things more. And question a few more.
Actuarial tables tell you basically nothing about a specific individual. For that you would want to look at some personal. Like, say, a full body checkup.
The article is conflating buzzword laden hype-cycles with qualitative artifacts.

It takes experience to recognize most software is still garbage, but more importantly determine which parts of the garbage heap is useful.

The primary problem is the very definition of any unique terminology or product is distorted by the industry itself to fit a marketing niche.

I don't know why this is being downvoted, this is my experience too. I don't mess with networking or volumes in k8s but it gives me a lot of stuff out of the box for when I need it later. It takes a couple of minutes to copy and paste the Deployment definition and change a few things.

The trouble with "single vm and yolo" it is tech debt of the worst kind. It's not a shortcut you might have to expand on someday, it's the kind where whole platform changes are necessary. Someday that vm process won't be enough and that'll require changing everything about the deploy, potentially at a time when big changes aren't desirable. If the business is starting to pick up so that we need something more reliable, that's the wrong time to want to replatform. I'd rather but in a small amount of upfront knowing that I won't have a big tech debt to pay back later.

So I keep it real simple, and keep away from parts that I know will give me a headache. I use a managed service and plan to give it to somebody else when we're big enough to have that somebody else. Then they can worry about the parts I didn't.

It's wise not to do too much upfront, for sure. But it's wise not to back into corners that are hard to undo later, too.

Well yeah I'm just saying they have a lot of overlap in the market with rPi despite being a much less powerful, different thing.

Getting started with esp32 dev board is cheaper, more powerful, and not any harder, so I don't understand their niche.
If that were true, you wouldn't see any small cars because they would not comply with standard. It's just fashion.
This is my take. As an autistic individual, I struggle a lot with communication in general, especially speaking in-person as opposed to typing slowly and carefully like I am doing now.

No matter how well I understand something, my ability to relay that information effectively to another individual will always be another matter entirely. It's true that I can't explain something I don't understand, but it doesn't logically follow that I only truly understand something if I can explain it.

This isn't really convincing. The P, G, R and Y are significantly different and appear in both the Quake sample and the font sample. S is significantly flatter. The cherry-picked examples are the most basic letters and likely to have parallel evolution because of the constraints of that design space.

I think it's more likely to be a hand-crafted font, inspired by the general layout of stencil letters but no more than that.

yeah I m not sure why that blog is so popular. A lot of its analysis is shallow and easily countered. It subscribes to a view that it's possible to reduce the world to logical heuristics. This works sometimes but often fails greatly too.

Apparently [1], Biden at least has "controlled" cholesterol, a normal EKG, some asymptomatic and controlled fibrillation. The number of experts who consult the guy every year is actually impressive.

The usual 70-year-old is probably a risky bet, but surely 10 specialists plus a team of generalists would make a more predictive yearly checkup. I think he's going to lose through normal politics and not by way of a heart attack.

> While framed as FOMO, to me it’s good old value-propositioned marketing.

Right! Exactly, the value proposition is stating what you think the value is to the consumer, and when it aligns with what they really value then sales occur. The author made a clear distinction saying, “I naively assumed that people transacted when value exceeded price. I blindly pursued adding more value to this newsletter.” He’s talking about value from his own perspective rather than value from the customer’s perspective, like you did with listing the subjects and teaching methods in your book.

I’ve made the same mistake trying to add what I think is valuable and talk about what I think is valuable, and have it lead to low sales, so I know from experience that good marketing is necessary and that good marketing can be difficult for engineers to learn, and that building it does not mean that they will come and buy it. Part of what I’m saying is you have to really understand the eww of advertising, why it’s there, where it comes from, and how to use it properly, and you have to be careful and figure out what the difference is between showing someone the value and lying to them, because sometimes the line is very gray and/or very thin.
Not that different for the prodesk/elitedesk small form factors IMHO. There’s a steady supply of cheap used ones available on most online marketplaces (there’s probably millions of them being cycled out of offices every year).

That’s a fascinating idea! One of the surprising things I learned while researching this book was that Maxis was actually trying to do that at one point, and in fact more. They had an initiative called SimWorld that would allow all their sim games to link together and even be open to third party development. This very ambitious OS-like architecture meant that The Sims really was seen as zooming into SimCity, and in fact early prototypes of what became The Sims let you do just that. And SimCopter did let you open SC2k save files and fly through them. While SimWorld didn’t take off it seems that without it we wouldn’t have The Sims, which introduced an innovative object-oriented architecture that underwrote its cutting-edge AI, UI, and business model (modular expansion packs).
