It is an open source project. Mostly done by volunteers. Everyone with slightly different motivations. Up until now, very few have been paid anything at all to work on it. Some funding has become available recently, for some of the developers. But it will probably never make millions of dollars. And it will never kill all the commercial SW option out there. But it can cover a larger and larger amount of hobbyist and semi-pro usecases, and I expect this trend to continue.
> not to employ you

This is the problem because 99% of people are effectively dependent on their employers, and there's huge power imbalance between employers and employees.

In Europe there's a specific list of reasons which can result in work contract termination. This means that the employer cannot fire me just because I posted on Facebook "vote for party X for better future". This means that I feel free to post this because I know nobody will ruin my life over that.

In most US states there's a specific list of reasons why people cannot be fired - which means they can be fired for all other reasons, and "posting on Facebook that you support given party" does not belong to that list, which means that you can be fired for that, which effectively makes you think twice before you say things publicly.

I really don't think that "you don't go to jail but you have your life ruined by being fired and becoming unemployable" is such a fantastic deal and an example of freedom of speech.
Fwiy it takes a while for these things to have impact, look at Boeing.

I just purchased affinity suite this year because I’m done with adobe for good now. I don’t see them doing anything to ever win me back as a customer
Real estate often operates on margins and has long been considered a prime store of value. In the United States, the origins of cash used in real estate transactions are rarely scrutinized, and cash-only purchases have reached a decade high this year.

Why does real estate remain relatively strong in some countries? Likely because savvy investors either want to live there or believe others will.

Real estate prices in California are at their peak, and while the media might anticipate a housing crash, it's unlikely. With large amounts of money needing a place to go and states like Florida enacting xenophobic policies that deter investment, California remains an attractive option.

Can you do it with your eyes open?

Have you tried drawing a real object then the imagined one and seeing which ends up better? I've always thought that this would be a great skill for visual artists.
JH7110 boot process is well-documented.

There's a tiny ROM inside, which just downloads the next stage into SRAM (cpu cache as RAM) from eMMC, SD card or SPI flash, or receives it via UART (XMODEM), according to the state of two GPIOs. This tiny ROM remains accessable, can be dumped and examined.

The next stage is typically u-boot SPL, which then loads a payload of opensbi + u-boot, which in turn loads the device tree and kernel. This is all open source.

There are already alternative boot flows implemented, such as oreboot and tianocore.
These a 5 very reasonable proposals.

One I always advocate for regarding smaller businesses that do this. Legally you must to list your previous business names for 5 years. So "Super happy Mega Global tech - Formerly Bastards Inc." That way you cannot just name change away your reputational problems.

It is already a success. Thousands of people are using it to make useful designs on a regular basis.
we have the tech to do it from space now with a single sensing platform vs individual sensors on private land. doesn't take much of an imagination to see why one is preferred over the other. USGS can place their sensors on gov't land and get the readings they need. Department of Ag can't really do the same thing.
I fail to see any endgame that does not involve the legalization of most drugs. In the meantime, the cartels are using the endless cash from drug sales to establish more revenue streams and embed themselves deeper into society. Pablo Escobar died over 30 years ago and there are still enclaves in Medellin where he is revered due to the largess he was able to provide. Once you have a local population on your side, what can the police or military do? Not that there is much any police or military force can do against a well-funded guerilla insurgency.

At a certain point, we have to give up the absurd fantasy that we can stop people from using drugs we don't like. We've had several generations to try, and plenty of money and liberty-bending laws to help in the goal, and what has that effort gotten us? Drugs have gotten cheaper, criminal enterprises have gotten stronger, our civil liberties have been degraded and we left ourselves wide open to the fentanyl epidemic.

Plus, we're stuck paying out the ass for all the prisons we've filled up.
> Proportionality. Fines should be proportional to the company's size, revenue, and the severity of the violation. The financial impact should be significant enough to grab the company's attention and incentivize change.

This is a fine for a local violation. Trying to make it proportional to the entire company's size (which expands far beyond those locations and even business types) would be insane.

The fines are calculated in proportion to the estimated damage and potential profits.

> Escalating penalties. Implement a system of escalating penalties for repeated violations w/increased monitoring.

Fines for repeat violations would be higher, so no need to be upset.

> Transparency. Publicly disclose the details of labor violations and the fines imposed.

Literally in the article. Did anyone read the article? Why are we upset about things that are already explained in the article?

> Targeted sanctions. Temporary suspension of licenses, government contracts, at local, state & federal level.

You want to suspend the Amazon warehouse's license for their first violation for not properly disclosing quotas in writing?

Do you have any idea what happens when you do this? The people employed there are laid off. They lose their jobs. Why would anyone assume that you can just shut down companies and the only people who suffer are some abstract group of executives somewhere?
It's a nuanced question. Comfort and convenience versus conservation.
There is a housing shortage caused by excessive regulation. High prices will continue until until it’s addressed.
To make an analogy, your idea is that a runner needs to learn stride techniques, physics and biology first and doing base physical training without understanding these is pointless. This does not work in athletics, nor does it work in math. Somebody who cannot even run 100m is not going to benefit from understanding how carbs convert to ATP and how that ATP is consumed to fire muscles or how muscles and ligaments in the legs can store and release energy or how drag slows you down etc. These are all good to know for an athlete to improve further, but not for somebody who just started running. And people had been evolving to run for millions of years!

People have not evolved for math. Their innate math ability is similar to falling after making few steps in regards of running analogy. They need a whole lot of boring and painful base training to be any good. What we get with "but they need to understand!" is people who can barely walk 1km without losing their breath insisting that when children get fun carbon shoes and tasty carb gels they will run much better than children who are made to run laps until they drop.
I wonder how such a translation system would handle variables like i/j counters. If the target language is anything with a non-latin writing system then I can't imagine what you would substitute. I'm sure there's converse examples too, of single-character variables that have no translation to English.

Similarly, I wonder how one handles non-obvious shorthand like "rsp"

Ah, I seem to have skipped over that. Thanks!
“Community members”… color me skeptical. Anyone standing in the way of the cartels is killed (plus their family and neighbors). Usually these checkpoints are setup looking for rival cartel members and shaking down locals. I suspect the inspectors refused to pay or failed to offer to pay to pass through.
That seems pretty low... is what I said before I saw the metric being mneasured in hours instead of months.

This is tough because we had fine ceilings for a good reason. But maybe we should start considering proportional charges (+ maybe a fine floor) at this rate.
It would be interesting to see if much of that has changed since the DoE was created in 1980. Do schools in Louisiana currently not teach that the earth is 6,000 years old, that evolution is a farce, and that the US is a Christian nation? Do we no longer have gigantic gaps in educational attainment based on where a child happened to be born? Segregation is federally illegal, so the proposed decentralization would only apply to curriculum and funding. I have no idea how the centralization of the education system has positively or negatively affected education outcomes, so I don't find the outcome of decentralizing it again obvious.

By the way, it's sad that this needs to be written, but I'm commenting in good faith. Without any kids in the education system, and without having been through the education system in many years, I'm not up to date with the latest statistics. All I have to go on is the occasional anecdotes from the people around me, which seem to be largely negative, but which could also be based in fantasy. I recognize that I have these blind spots, which is why I'm asking these questions.
Same thing in LessWrong post form from back in April: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40242939
The similarities in repetitions are indeed present, but not only in wars. No one forced this person to go to work after such an event, but apparently, he is truly an exceptional worker, and the Mitsubishi managers were incredibly fortunate. He was already on his 9th day back at work, covered in bandages, after a nuclear explosion. (Of course, I think he wanted to share his experience as soon as possible to help others, given it was wartime.)

After the start of the war in Ukraine, companies divided into three categories:

Good ones: They paid 3+ months' salaries in advance, covered the relocation costs for the entire family, and other expenses. For startups, these were donation-investments of $100k like in Awesonic (YC).

Ordinary ones: They paid nothing extra but provided some money for relocation until the next salary.

Bad ones: They paid nothing, no advance payment and demanded reports for working hours from bomb shelters during bombings.

I think such coincidences are not accidental, and this case with Tsutomu falls into either the 2nd or 3rd category. It's unclear how these coincidences would play out in peaceful life without war, but no one knew them except the management of the company where he worked.

Are you still in Kharkiv?
man, this is going to set them back at least 15 seconds.
The important thing is the Framework laptop is getting a third party board even if it is under-powered and unusable for most people. Raspberry Pi could take some of their IPO money and do an ARM board or Qualcomm and not have to worry about the keyboard, case, display and the logistics of moving laptops. Seems like a great way to get your platform in front of developers in a very usable and sustainable package.
Not really, TBH my two biggest hits beside grief cycle, is dread when I can't make rent and loneliness. I mean I have my boys and see them but that's different than like having adult friends you can confide in. I'm a bit of a loner so all my friends are my ex wife's first....

Loneliness, grief, job anxiety, housing insecurity are all pushing my mental health to the edge.

I don't have first-hand experience with PAGA lawsuits, and I am not a lawyer, but:

> employers are required to require employees take lunch within 5 hours of starting the day

This seems like a misrepresentation of the relevant statutes.

Per Brinker Restaurant Corporation v. Superior Court,

> In a unanimous opinion authored by Associate Justice Kathryn M. Werdegar, the court explained that neither state statutes nor the orders of the Industrial Welfare Commission (IWC) compel an employer to ensure employees cease all work during meal periods. Instead, under state law an employer must provide its employees an uninterrupted 30-minute duty-free period during which the employee is at liberty to come and go as he or she pleases.

https://www.courts.ca.gov/17489.htm

In other words: if the employee has the option of taking that half hour break at an appropriate time of day, then I don't see a lawsuit as being justified unless there's legislation from the past 12 years (very plausible) that renders this precedent obsolete.

Affording a lifestyle is largely about stability of housing costs. If you don't have at least $30k, you can't afford a house, and thus are subject to the whims of your landlord and the rental market. If you have $30k-$300k, you either just bought a house or are looking to buy one (somewhere...). If you have $300k-$3m assets you probably have already owned a house for 10 years and have substantially lower housing costs, so you can coast at your current lifestyle. If you have $3m (including a house) you can retire.
It was for two specific locations, so it seems it should be based on something related to those specific location, rather than worldwide profits across all, unrelated, business units.

The conditions of the stable equilibrium are different from a change. But that says nothing about which one is better or worse. In some places, climate change would be welcome.

But the whole system is so complicated, it's tough for us to predict all the dynamics. Probably better to not touch it. But I don't think it has to be worse.
It doesn't seem like nature is "in perfect balance" over long timescales. The formation of the Earth was not balance. The evolution of life wasn't balance - it was a clear progression from no life to life. The atmosphere becoming oxygenated wasn't balance - it hasn't gone back.

Things do happen, things change. And changes can be permanent.
You still have to explain why you "see out of your eyes", cause if consciousness doesn't exist, then why the universe doesn't happen silently without an "observer" somehow connected to every complex enough area. Soul is just the closest, religiously crippled interpretation of this idea.

Even if you are the only object in the universe that isn't a p-zombie, you still have it at your end. Why doesn't your physical body operate without "you" being in it most of the time?

“We consider a generic satellite reentering the mesosphere from LEO. The satellite structure is taken to be entirely aluminum, and the relevant ambient gas is molecular oxygen (COESA, 1976; Plane et al., 2021). In this study, we first carry out an atomic-scale MD simulation—a first-principle informed method for modeling physical and chemical interactions between atomic particles (Rahman, 1964)—to simulate the bond breakage between aluminum atoms (Al-Al bonds) due to the impact of oxygen molecules (O-O bonds) and the formation of aluminum oxides (Al-O bonds) during the ablation stage of reentry.”
Sorry this is a somewhat handwavy explanation that glosses over many details, but the size of components in electronic circuits (i.e. transistors and connections) fundamentally depends on the de Broglie wavelength of the electrons (some tens/hundreds of pm) why the size of a photonic circuit depends on the wavelength of light (order of 1 mu m). So one can make much more compact electronic circuits than photonic. Note that is somewhat different to transmission lines which are larger for electronics (depending on the RF carrier frequency) than optics.

Is that really true? CDP stops the operation. Massive fines would allow the company to continue operating sold off. The fines may be financially worse for the owner but in terms of the unlawful and antisocial behavior the death penalty would more directly end the conduct by ending their operation.

In many cases this would be preferable I think: the owners may well have been unaware of the bad conduct and at least individually unable to prevent it. In that case, ending operations and unwinding the company and returning whatever wealth can be recovered to the owners may be a more fair thing to do.
They also didn't say anything about the mainboard having RGB LEDs or a quantum computing chip, but I'm assuming someone swapping a x86 mainboard for a RISC-V one on a personal laptop will want some kind of performance for daily tasks, which that chip won't provide even barely.
I'd bet that today's data is worse. Data used to be expensive, because you needed to print it or store it on expensive media. Now, bullshit is cheaper than ever to reproduce. And more publishing than ever is about making money rather than disseminating information. But I think the point holds that adding even more, different bullshit into the training data with a few new facts isn't going to improve the quality of output.

Illegal information depends on jurisdiction. Even before you get to governments restricting access to facts, unflattering opinions, or information they consider immoral, you have information considered fraudulent, defamatory and perhaps even treasonous. Secret information might also count here, since governments don't want that ending up in your training data even if they do trust your cloud storage. Illegal information can get you thrown in prison if you seek it out or publish it or sometimes even just read it.

You have a fair point in that a native experience will more than likely keep privacy in mind and have more resources to produce a potentially better experience. The concern is that these are unethical practices. Now, they don’t own a monopoly over the smartphone market, but they do have a monopoly on the actual app purchase market, so the monopoly question is debatable. Apple has both created the game (marketplace), owns the game and has private information on how the game is being played. They are then using that information to increase the value of their offering. They have a statistically unfair advantage against any offering on their marketplace and can use that to build up their own product. I’m not a lawyer and I can’t speak to the legality, although this is something that would be classified as at least suspicious, although it’d be hard to build a case on, if at all possible.

Ethically, their practice of appearing to target successful offerings and undermining them is debatable. There’s no right answer here, it’s a matter of opinion. But this repeated behavior would signal to anyone looking to build a commercial success on their marketplace: don’t be too successful. You have to remember that you have a multi-trillion dollar international corporation suppressing the success of small (internationally <$1B business is considered small) businesses, who have employees that believe in their mission. And you can see I keep referring to “their marketplace” that they legitimately own, and I understand they may not be doing anything “illegal” as defined by current law, but when you look at a multi-decade view of this practice, I think we’re going to start to see new laws being drafted and regulations put on place. I’m not sure how you even begin to fight a “virtual monopoly” which has little physical monopoly dominance.

I will caveat that I do thoroughly enjoy Apple products and the seamless Apple native applications and integrations with each other. I do appreciate their craftsmanship and attention to detail. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth when we see a similar headline every year each of the last few years, where a closed environment controlled by one entity is swallowing more and more of the world’s resources and preventing others from growing.
