The Huawei ban's impact on smartphones was mostly a side effect. The real target was wireless infrastructure. Any time spent analyzing the phone stuff is a waste, that was all mostly collateral damage as we tried to prevent Huawei from dominating our domestic 5G (and related) networks.

If I didn't have the team to properly do a good test build I would tell all my engineers to design their code to not need mocks if at all possible and call it a day at 85% coverage. That's very doable with dependency injection and modular function libraries. The time spent not chasing full coverage could be better spent improving CI/integration testing/deployment.
I don't think this is exactly correct. Undefined behavior means a very specific thing - that the program could do literally anything. But I think that's not quite the situation in this case. Rather, I would suspect that these specified-register variables are only guaranteed to be effective with extended asm constraints.

For basic asm I would assume then that the register contents cannot be relied on to contain the value of the variable, but as long as you don't rely on it, then you are in the clear.

Then again it's hard to be sure about these matters with C.
From Wikipedia:

>OpenWrt can be configured through either a command-line interface or a web interface called LuCI

It's been a long time since I used it myself, but I recall it having a web interface, and I didn't have to do anything special in the command line to set it up, it just had it.

From what I recall, it wasn't that different from the software that my router had before hand, other than that it had more features.

The quick start docs seem to support this:

If I lie about you or your company in my newspaper causing you financial or other harm should I not face consequences such as a lawsuit or should I be allowed to destroy your life consequence free because I feel like it?

What about if I lie about my product and you use it and it fails to deliver, or causes you direct harm? Should I be allowed to do that?

Having a monopoly like this is like having a goose that that lays golden eggs. The right thing to do is nothing except to guard the goose and keep it happy and well fed.

But what Adobe has done is a series of aggressive egg laying hormonal supplements and force feeding. Yes, it might get them even more eggs for a bit, but it's also a big risk for killing the goose for not a whole lot more eggs, with the side effect of definitely making everyone angry with you.

But I think Adobe, and most companies, would inevitably make this decision. If you give a medium-sized public corporation a faucet that spews money at a constant rate forever and a button that has a 60% chance to double the money and a 40% chance to destroy the faucet, I suspect that most corporations would push that button at least once every few years.
That makes much more sense :)
Yes, for their relevant applications. If you were a commercial spelunker or were the Ukrainian army needing to lob missiles into Russia that were impervious to encrypted GPS jamming, then you would gladly welcome your quantum overlords. Neither LRG or QG are ever going to be made into MEMS devices shoved into an iPhone. Its application is dead reckoning. For the use-case of navigation underground useable by everyday people, Skyhook-like services that rely on 5G UWB microcells are the most likely evolution beyond relying on Wi-Fi SSIDs and conventional cell towers for tower-assisted GNSS.

Overall what I'd say about DJI is that they seem to be earnestly trying to make their features work at face value.

That is, if you opt out of data collection, they seem to be earnestly _trying_ to disable data collection. Unfortunately their apps are a spaghetti monster disaster and it's very difficult for them to get things right, so DJI frequently introduce new features or libraries which contain telemetry they've forgotten to disable. In my experience they do this more often in consumer apps than enterprise apps. I think they might actually have some kind of automated testing or audit applied to their enterprise apps.

Whether this is a conspiracy to introduce subtle surveillance bugs or simple hardware-company-making-software incompetence is of course an exercise left to the reader's paranoia level.

Anyway, I just use DJI RCs and forget network credentials. This limits the DJI bug/malice blast radius surface area to an acceptable range to me, and that's the advice I'd give others, too.

They're very high especially if power is coming from solar panels on your roof or excess power from neighbors because there are virtually no transmission losses. Also, most power plants aren't that much better than car engines.

Which US companies are going to have a $500 competent consumer drone with a great camera, solid reliability, and top of the line ease of use to sell me the day this ban goes into effect, or even 5 years down the road? The answer is none.

There are no US companies capable of serving this market. None can produce the product DJI did and consumers will abandon the market before they'll transition to a product that costs twice as much for half the value.

This is not like smartphones or laptops or televisions or any of that, it's not needed, it's a total luxury and hobby for 95% of buyers. They will walk before adopting a shitty US-based alternative and the market will shrivel and die.

So, this is a fine policy if hurting US consumers by destroying an entire field of hobby to thumb our noses at China is the goal. It's a broken policy of stimulating a US alternative is the goal. To accomplish the latter, subsidies and reasonable tariffs are the right approach, not bans.
This is one of the more confusing articles I've ever attempted to read.
I assume one of the goals of this is to change that by making it feasible for US companies to compete at least on the domestic market.

Ukraine has shown that having domestic at-scale consumer drone production is a critical military capability. I bet part of the motivation behind this is protectionism to make sure this capability can be built up. Otherwise any war against China starts with China being able to make many thousands of recon aircraft / precision guided projectiles per day, likely with mostly or entirely domestic supply chains, without even going to a war economy, while the US cannot manufacture the same class of weapon at any comparable scale.

> We could make our products out of more metal or all metal.

What's interesting is that a large part of this was the move to "ergonomic" kitchen tools, which the kitchenware brand OXO has been a big part of.

Because you're right -- kitchen tools used to be made out of metal and wood. Metal could be bent back into place and resharpened. Pieces of wood could easily be replaced.

Then OXO decided that small metal handles like the one on the all-metal classic vegetable peeler you or I might have grown up with [1] weren't usable by people with hand grip/coordination issues, decided to use a bicycle handlebar grip as a model, and invented their now-famous OXO vegetable peeler [2] with a big rubber grip. And then slowly everything started to follow that aesthetic -- most kitchen tools are made out of plastic, rubber, silicone, and nylon, with "bulbous" handles. The rise of nonstick cookware is partly responsible for the trend as well, necessitating plastic/nylon/silicone turners, spoons, etc.

I'm not sure what I think about it. On the one hand, my kitchen almost feels like it's made for children, with all these big grippy things. I worked in a kitchen in Spain once where all the tools were probably 50 or 100 years old, and thought -- oh this is a kitchen for adults!

On the other hand, modern kitchen tools seem to be much safer, and usable by a larger proportion of the population -- especially the elderly. So I can't really see that as a bad thing.

> You don't have to tell them. You're dealing with the company, not the individual employee. If the company is recording the call, so can you.

The whole point of "this call may be recorded" is to establish consent between both parties. In two-party consent states (caller or recipient), you still have to establish consent to record.

If you're calling from a 1-party consent state to a 1-party consent state, you don't have to tell them, although I don't know how that works legally with call center routing.
It seems like there actually was some value to this part:

> allowed police to speed up investigations into bike thefts by being able to pinpoint bikes in the footage

Normal procedure as far as I know is you keep recordings for 48h or whatever, and if someone reports their bike as stolen a human reviews the footage to see if they can find anything. If you can use ML or something to tag the snippets in the last 24h that contain bikes being moved, that's more efficient use of taxpayer-funded police officers' time?
I'm fairly confident anyone thinking this is about safety is just paranoid and misinformed.

But this is Fermilab:

And they can't continue to maintain their own Linux distribution as successfully as they have been after all they went through to get it going?

>Fermilab has an impressive capacity for storing data over the long term. The laboratory can store about 500 petabytes of data in total, which represents about 20 times the amount stored by all the LHC experiments in a year.

>Hosting computing hardware is necessary but not sufficient to guarantee success. Fermilab also employs a team of computer science experts and particle physicists who specialize in computational techniques. They work to make these resources productive so the broader scientific community can concentrate on the science.

You can't get much broader than individual PC's.

You think maybe their compile times were too lengthy or systemd got too confusing and they had to give up?

This could be a defect like purely academic labs have where people graduate and incredibly promising efforts lose momentum afterward. Quite a serious disadvantage to run a company like that but a national lab should be so much different than academic bureaucracy too, with even more continuity than a corporation. When a person with an advanced degree or specialty gets hired it should be like night and day they have left the academic world behind, never to look back. You don't do this with any intention of a possibly temporary project like you would in college, it's supposed to be for real and for good because you've reached the big time.

Too bad that lack of vision or commitment prevails when something else is needed more than ever, but usually already too late anyway.

Don't let a pseudo-academic environment limit your ultimate potential.

Well, MS didn't have to do anything. It's enough that they have (or had) the opportunity to do something.

There isn't an Overmind in MS that in a creepy voice tells you to spawn more overlords. Less than that, there doesn't need to be a written document that tells you to give money to MS or your data etc. There's just a general accepted understanding among the people who run that company that ends justify the means. And by "ends" they mean them and their investors getting rich.

If Haskell compiler could've been turned into a money-making machine, and it only required killing off half of Haskell programmer, MS would be working overtime on the plan to hide the bodies, but they'd never even consider the possibility of killing being bad... (metaphorically speaking, hopefully)

Is there a name for the logical fallacy that the author presents, that goes like:

1) In the past (some portion of) society was scared about the printing press, and it turned out to be fine

2) In the past (some portion of) society was scared about the internet, and it turned out to be fine

3) Therefore, if nowadays (some portion of) people are scared of AI, then they're wrong, AI is safe, because in the past some portion of the population was wrong about other technologies

I guess it would be called a non-sequitur?

Here's a more contrived example to make the fallacy more clear:

1) In the past (some portion of) people didn't think automobiles could obtain speeds of 50mph and they turned out to be wrong

2) In the past (some portion of) people didn't think automobiles could obtain speeds of 300mph and they turned out to be wrong

3) Therefore, nowadays, my claim that I have an automobile that will drive 10,000 mph must always be right, because in the past (some portion of) people were wrong about automobile progress.

I've been seeing lots of examples of this type of fallacy where the giveaway is people pointing out about how people in the past made bad predictions, which somehow means any predictions people are making today are also wrong. It just doesn't follow.
> React is good at V

How so? Under MVC, V is the visual representation of the model. React does not exist there at all. It relies on the DOM and associated technologies to provide that.

React does give a mechanism to keep the visual representation in sync with the data and it provides a place to handle events that update the data. While it is not designed for the MVC model, so we cannot truly speak to it in MVC terms, the closest analog to those seem to be the M and C.

I'm assuming you had to go back to a commit from 8 years ago because all future commits realized that whoever wrote that React is the V in MVC was confused?

If people were pirating Photoshop only because it was easy to pirate, my guess is when it came to professional work or another occasion where they had the funds to pay for image editing software, they would overcome whatever friction necessary to buy the best. That definitely happens in other cases like video editing where easy to access software is different than what studios pay for.

As a thought experiment: if Photoshop was means tested and free to anyone who couldn’t afford it, would that actually convert users when they had money?

I'm in the middle of replacing my 'soft carpeting' (literally translated on Google Translate, don't know if that's the right English word) and micro plastics are my number one reason to do so. I had one of the cheapest carpeting possible ten years ago, and I see fine dust in the same color on my chair legs. I probably inhale parts of this every day. I don't know if that's true, but the very idea makes me want to replace it. I remember seeing warning signs for this on soft carpeting labels in Ikea years ago and it made me think.

Now I want to finish my floor with a coating for concrete. I'm not happy with all the chemicals it contains, but I reckon that's only when applying and during the drying phase.

My ideal choice would be to use carpet tiles made from wool, but that's way too expensive for now.
