Look, you're illustrating a lot of well-documented concerns with a pretty panicked tone. This discussion has existed for more than a half-century, and it's died down because the first world cannot tolerate these developments. Russia depends on a peaceable status-quo in order to threaten it's neighbors; China relies on good international standing to trade with relevant currency. We discuss the circumstances surrounding nuclear warfare in these terms because it's the only relevant framework for understanding it; the "red lines" don't mean anything without context, no less than China's famous "Final Warning".

You think this framing is only relevant for western interests; you're right. But it's also startlingly realistic, has popular support, and overwhelmingly disadvantages China and Russia. If nuclear blackmail worked, any nuclear power could demand anything; now they have to do the unthinkable. Given that nobody wants to be nuked, this second-strike guillotine has effectively deterred any self-preserving nation from launching an inhumane nuclear strike.

To change the circumstances surrounding this discussion, you need urgent and credible evidence, not frantic refutations and scaremongering. The United States' calm and collected posture towards nuclear deterrence works, and it has extremely effective contingency plans if it ever fails.

> I wonder if someone leaked the idea to Kubrick as a round about attempt to show the world how nuts it is in an effort to get popular pressure to apply political pressure to fix it.

Did it ever cross your mind that people were discussing this concept back in the 1960s too? If you can believe it, there was actually a non-negligible interest in understanding the nuclear chain of command, known by some as "the Cold War".
Those low price ones are never available. The cheapest 4b I see right now is $60. Which isn't bad, but not $35.

You have to be careful, though: there is no shortage of people who will happily take advantage of someone who shows them kindness.

While I believe you should show a baseline level of kindness to people when you first meet them much like you should give people a baseline level of respect, there are actions which can and should lose both.
Newsletters have been a very lucrative business for a very long time. The successful ones tend to be about business strategies and case studies. People will pay for actionable business information that they can copy, apply, and profit.

Most digital newsletters are merely collections of online content or writings from one person doing things that don’t have an earning potential for readers. That’s why they don’t tend to make any money.
Why wouldn't you be able to cite Wikipedia, as long as you specify the date on which you read it? The assumption that it's unreliable doesn't seem to be rooted in any genuine data, especially as I remember teachers and lecturers asserting that immediately the moment it appeared, based on nothing more than "but anyone can edit it!". One might think that was a bit early to leap to conclusions about quality.

It looks a lot like an attempt to preserve the academic culture of all claims being attached to names for reputation and career building reasons.

> It's not uncommon to find claims there that have no citation at all

Obviously. Any claim eventually has to bottom out at either personal experience, or citation of someone else's words. If you just follow the citations to the end you'll end up at a paper that just asserts something without a citation, and that's fine. Academics assume such statements must be reliable because of the institutional affiliation of the authors, but that's hardly a strong basis. Wikipedia does at least have a working system for fixing mistakes that isn't "spend two years arguing with a journal editor to get nothing more than an expression of concern at the top".

Is that really "sophisticated", or is that just what happens when an entity outcompetes all others for resource utilization by chance (ie.: in the context of ecology / evolutionary pressure)? This is basically how cancer happens, and yet I wouldn't call cancer cells more sophisticated than healthy ones. I call it dys-regulated.

I don't know of any company in the UK that would ever answer such a question, maybe a small shop that hasn't learnt better yet. Companies will provide references that always just say "this person has worked here for X years", no one would ever say anything either positive or negative.

I know this is not what you are looking for, but I just wanted to take advantage of your post to remind the HN crowd of the fact that the magnificent book Turtle Geometry: The Computer as a Medium for Exploring Mathematics is available in Open Access at : https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/4663/Turtle-Geomet... .
One of the co-author is no less than Harold Abelson, who is also a co-author of the (in)famous SICP.

If you are looking for a book a little less hardcore than the previous recommendation, check out Visual Modeling With Logo: A Structured Approach to Seeing by James Clayson.
Google doesn't use Git internally, and its code search and source control tools expose the concept of "show blame before this change", so in practice reformats like this aren't troublesome with regard to blame.
The parent comment guesses they were avoiding saying Android, but, in analogy with imessage availability on both macos/ios, there's linux/android. But, yes, when I wrote "I think" i can't claim that's what they meant, just that's my reading of it.

There have been warnings that the big Chinese producers are too big — they're producing and selling so much that their customers won't need replacements until the manufacturers have gone bankrupt. (If you're a manufacturer and sell 1000 things per year and the world needs a total installed base of 100000, then you're in trouble if your things have a >10 year lifetime, see?)

But this doesn't look so bad for the solar vendors. The oil companies are still significant and can be driven bankrupt.
At least for the lower power draw models, can you disable the fan entirely? Or cut the RPMs in half?

And $150 is overstating it. Look up ‘n3350 all in one’. Lots of models and retailers selling these atm. Intel must be selling these cpus for a few cents given the price for these complete systems with storage ram, case and power supply is ~$65 even when not on sale.
What is "(Vf guvf ahnaprq haqrefgnaqvat be vf vg vafvahngvba?)"? Is this a romanization of Russian? Or is it some sort of coded message? What does it mean? Despite agreeing with the bulk of your post I'm hesitant to upvote something that concludes with a line I don't understand.
Calling Enrico Weigelt an "Xorg developer" is a bit much. He's someone who showed up, started submitting a bunch of very PRs to clean up the code, and then other people had to revert them when they broke the build. None of the work he's doing is the kind of really important code maintenance that Xorg would need.

This is just something he posted to a mailing list that nobody replied to. Xorg already has functional CI and is relatively easy to compile already.

You can add something like an Adafruit FT232H to the PC and still come out cheaper according to TFA’s price calculation.
> Fast, it takes less than 200ms to convert a ~1.4MB Wikipedia page on an i5 7th gen CPU

Okay, maybe I’m way off base here, but is this fast? 1.4MB of Wikipedia page is, what, 20k lines? This doesn’t sound like fast Rust to me.

I would guess that the amount of HTML parsing that’s happening is way more than is actually needed to render markdown.
I see. I ran a version of DR-DOS that wasn't compatible then.
In fact, a sabotage manual should include the opposite action for each point. These are not the methods of sabotage, they're the methods of shrouding your sabotage in plausibility. It wouldn't provide you plausible deniability if doing the things on the list was never reasonable.

>Still, the Voyager probes have far exceeded expectations. Looking at engineers' testimonials from when it was built, Dodd said the original designers were told not to worry about reaching interstellar space and focus on making sure the Voyagers could observe Jupiter and Saturn.

“Basically they kind of ignored those directions, nodded their heads and did what they wanted to make it capable of getting to interstellar space,” she said.

IIRC when they were building spacecraft back then, in the labs they used a lot of sophisticated electronic test instruments from companies like HP (when they were more of a military contractor than a consumer company). Lots of times the design philosophy for HP gear was knowing that nothing is perfect or will last forever, try to make it so anyway.

Something Hewlett & Packard had definitely been working on for decades by then.

When NASA came along, they were just plain expected to have an even higher standard for the spacecraft than the ground-based systems.
The other option would be to try and make a real-time ADC with enough BW (at Tek we demoed USB 3.1 debugging with just 10 GHz on an MSO6B, even though compliance testing requires 12 or 15 iirc) and memory depth to do the clock recovery in DSP. This would be a very significant challenge, but might be possible, depending what ADC's are on the market now a days.

It strikes me that if you ran it long enough, there is probably no reason why a sampling scope couldn't do the same thing. It would need even more DSP eggheadery than the realtime scope, of course.
On the other hand there's the just-world fallacy[1].

My understanding is that the slowness comes from program code being removed from memory to free up space, forcing the system to constantly re-read it from disk. I still get the slowness without swap.
You can create a probability distribution of possible gpt-5 performance and predict how well it will do.
Thank you for that paper. It shows that the proposed negative effects of CO2 do not exist.

Let's take the study by Rodeheffer. Even 15,000 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere did not change the results of a thorough 90-minute test. If this is not indicative of the benignancy of CO2, I don't know what is.

Let's take the another study by Allen that showed "SMS performance was 15%
lower for 945 ppm and 50% lower for 1,400 ppm relative to 550 ppm"

This was not a controlled study, but just an association study in different buildings. All the studies that use a good setup do not report marked lowering of cognitive function.

Then you can look at the paper by Herczeg and the mental performance is not really much different between 600 and 4000 ppm - merely 5% difference in errors found in the test. With only few participants, this is not significant. Since this is a short-term study, adaption to higher CO2 levels needs to be considered.
Redefining Europe to mean something other than the geographical location is a very bad habit of the pro-EU contingent. The EU institutions do this all the time but they aren't the only offenders, which is how Eurovision ends up including Australia and Israel. These people seem to really hate that Europe is a geographically defined landmass (which includes Russia), and would much rather it be a social construct reflecting a specific set of cultural values.

But I guess "EU/EFTA Alternatives" is not as snappy.

And what incentive do they have to do this?
There are almost certainly aggregate sites that will share the new domains, messages boards, social media, instant messaging, etc. Word of the new domains will travel very quickly.

Hell, they could setup their own public DNS outside of France and suggest users use that. Users already switched from local/ISP DNS to Cloudflare / Google because of the previous law so that is not a big hurdle (ignoring the obvious security problem - many users won't care they just want to watch the game).

My point though is that these laws will be very easy to bypass just like most anti piracy laws before it. Note that The Pirate Bay is still up and running.
I had to do this to recover my personal blog after both it and the backups had been lost due to two unrelated snafus during covid. I downloaded the pages from the internet archive and used my own shellscript to extract the text as markdown and then republished it using a static site generator.

Not exactly a common usecase I wouldn't think but it's good to be able to do this.
I genuinely disagree. It seems to me like the planet is overpopulated, that there is massively unfavourable bias in terms of who reproduces the most and that, imperfect a proxy for intelligence as it may be, lack of common sense of the magnitude in question is a good enough signal to indicate lack of intelligence, which is itself a decent proxy to indicate lack of contribution to society (intelligent does not imply high value, but stupid implies low value).

The notion that human life is precious is a remnant of times when child bearing was risky, life expectancy was short, agriculture was a bunch of mules and a bunch of peasants and medicine was not scientific and we had massive shortages for manual workers.

These days, if we start to lighten up a bit in the lower half of IQ distribution it might be much more of a blessing than a curse.

He has a very binary sense of better/"SUPERIOR". I don't dispute the qualitative direction of the claim, but was there a quantitative estimate of how much benefit "true" dual core or an APU would bring vs. the alternative? Nobody is going to care too much about chip internals, only the observable performance.
There's a documentary series called TraumaZone by Adam Curtis about the fall of the USSR from about 1985 that's interesting. It was on YouTube.

It uses a bunch of extra BBC footage that was shot but not used, and shows some of the life of ordinary citizens.
I feel like I am struggling with the same thing in my current role and point in my career. On one hand, I feel like I just need to come to terms with the fact that different people have different standards. On the other hand, I just desperately want to work with people who hold themselves to high standards and also get stuff done. In the meantime, I'm finding I'm running out of kindness. I often wonder if it's just me thinking I know more than I do and everything is always this way, that some people just don't care about what they produce and how, or if there teams out there who _do_ care and I just need to find one of those
The most comforting thought I've had in a while is that AI just somehow fades away. I'm all for AI and use it regularly, but I can't help but feel uneasy about where this is all headed.
Indeed, a USB MCU is my preferred GPIO these days. It makes my peripherals platform independent, and I can do my code development at my comfy desktop workstation with its big displays.

I find it easier to write real-time code on the MCU.

In fact, I've disciplined myself to make all of my projects -- hardware and software -- capable of running on any modern platform. It turns out that's not hard to do.
So a trick that works, but your product still have to provide some value, try a newsletter that doesn’t have any content and try a Fomo tactic

That’s all true but the OP said that Pis are “no longer cheap”. The reply was simply a demonstration that they are still available at the same price point, no matter what the competition is or isn’t doing.
> Sales don’t happen when benefits exceed price. I did not know this.

Obviously the title and opening sentence aren’t meant to be taken literally or absolutely despite being phrased that way, since the author had sales before discovering FOMO as a strategy, and also since these statements aren’t true for all products. I can buy that FOMO helps sell a newsletter subscription where it’s hard to communicate value in the first place, and people are used to newsletters being free. FOMO isn’t what drives McDonald’s or gasoline or breakfast cereal though. Most things I purchase aren’t based on FOMO, but maybe a few optional things are here and there.

I found the “ads eww” comment to be funny when what the author has discovered is an advertising technique, and one of the very techniques that earns and engenders the ‘eww’. Manipulating people works, but people don’t like knowing they’re being manipulated, especially if claims about missing out or about scarcity are inauthentic.
Lmao, it is not realistic at all, every movement is grossly exaggerated.
I highly doubt so. In fact, save for the RP2040 which isn't Linux capable (0), all their processors aren't for sale anywhere; Broadcom simply won't sell them to you, no matter if you order 1 or 100000. That is, you can't build your product around one of their CPU and you have to put their entire boards in you product instead, which translates in huge costs, no industrial rated parts and forced use of SD cards for system disks, which in that context are a no-no. The RPi is a hobbyist board with a huge potential for teaching, but I wouldn't consider it for anything beyond that use.

0: yeah, I know you can run it in theory; I mean in a usable way.

You're right. Doubly so because either-or scenarios are usually false choices.

The pithiness works in presentation but past that...
You don’t need to pay that much. For example, Minisforum is selling a barebones MS-01 for $399 new. This isn’t quite apples to apples — the Raspberry Pi includes RAM (but not much), whereas the MS-01 includes a case, a cooling system, a power supply, and an RTC battery. (And the MS-01 uses a non-janky 19V supply, whereas the Raspberry Pi 5 wants a weird not-to-spec not-quite-sure-what-they-were-thinking 5V USB supply by default.)

For the price, you get massively more CPU power, 3x the number of easily connectable NVMe devices, at higher bandwidth each, 22x (!) the network bandwidth, and the ability to connect a real multi-lane PCIe card of your choice.

I still find it sad that NVMe is an afterthought in the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. SD is convenient, but it’s also slooooow, and it holds back a lot of raspberry pi use cases. The new-to-RPi5 official NVMe support still seems really awkward in the way it interferes with the overall thermal performance and the way it interferes with the IO header if you use the official board.
Yeah, the first thing you see on raspberrypi.org is:

With a link to learning resources. So the article is true but beside the point: the Pi 5 is no match for something the Pi isn’t even aiming to be.

U-238 has almost zero economic value, and it’s definitely negative when part of spent fuel. It’s literally the waste product of uranium enrichment and mostly used in ammunition. CANDU avoids the need for enrichment which means throwing a lot less U-238 out at the beginning.

However it’s all the other bits like maintenance keeping nuclear expensive right now, reactor grade enriched uranium is still cheap and plentiful (~0.9c/kWh in fuel rods) which is why CANDU reactors don’t take off in the first place.
Yeah, I think it's sophisticated. Our brains are hardwired for empathy, and people are able to mostly ignore their social/emotional programming through a system of beliefs that would be difficult to propagate without language.
