Nowadays I see in-flight EOL normalization as Considered Harmful; instead I ensure that routines dealing with text buffers treat both CRLF and LF as the same. This has Just Worked without any issues in the software I've written with this approach. (Occasionally this requires wrapping/replacing library code that only uses the EOL convention of the host system.)

I have encountered numerous issues with EOLs being changed in transit or on disk, so I always make sure to open/transfer files in "binary mode", since both Windows and Linux builds will run the same EOL-agnostic code.

As I said, it's not really a question of whether noise pollution has negative effects, the thing they should have tried to demonstrate was that a lot of students are currently, in reality, being affected by it.

In your analogy, it's like they're saying that slippery kettlebells are extremely dangerous—people can really get hurt by them—and shouldn't somebody do something to make sure kettlebells aren't slippery? Nobody's doubting that dropping a kettlebell on your foot would be bad, the question is whether slippery kettlebells are a plague that's ruining today's gyms or not. Maybe it really is a problem, but you've got to address that point. You can't just go from "a hypothetical threat exists" to "let's take drastic steps to solve it".
By the time I worked on Symbian, devices were far more powerful than what the Symbian API was designed for (and this was still before the iPhone). It made you jump through hoops that you didn't need to jump through anymore. I wrote a wrapper around their "7 kinds of buffer" API that made it at least a little bearable.

The burning platform memo was entirely accurate although Elop probably shouldn't have Osborned his company with it.

Apple and Google achieve the same outcome (i.e. something called "card emulation", where an NFC chip can act as an emulated ISO 14443-4 smartcard), but they achieve it through very different ways:

Google just has an Android API for it called HCE (Host Card Emulation), and anybody can write an app that implements it (i.e. Google Pay has no special position compared to competitors). In a nutshell, you just get a callback for every APDU (protocol message) the phone receives from the reader and get to respond as you wish.

Apple embeds a secure element in their devices, which is a chip almost identical to that you'll find in actual physical cards, but with an additional interface that connects it to the application processor, so that the OS and (privileged, i.e. Apple Wallet only) apps can interface with it and load new card applications. That's why the storage in Apple Wallet is limited to 50-ish cards, but Google Pay allows many more :)

Felica is not part of the ISO 14443 family, but closely related and also an official physical layer of NFC (NFC-F), so many devices practically support it as well. To my knowledge, there is no software-based emulation for it though (that's always a bit risky for stored-value cards), so Suica etc. only work on Japanese phone models that have the necessary secure element, as well as on all iPhones (Apple installs a Felica applet into their secure element on demand).

Very good, actually. Donald Trump was a party outsider, and far different from establishment Republicans. Bernie Sanders was second place in the primaries, twice in a row, and does not identify with the party, he simply invites himself in during election season. They both received tons of funding from various sources, with small contributions making up a large chunk of their funding. Turns out if you're popular money will flow your way.

I wasn't trying to single them out; I was saying that lambda calculus has only lambda terms and applications, whereas Lisp always natively supported mutable linked lists from the beginning.

Coming back to that argument after a day, though, it admittedly seems like a weak argument; after all, Standard ML supports mutability and linked lists natively as well, and I gave that as an example of typed lambda calculus. Maybe a better argument is that it's dynamically typed, whereas I don't think there are dynamically typed formations of lambda calculus.

The unlimited downside is really driven by how people use the tool and what they do with the results rather than how the tool itself works.

If any hiring manager uses a tool poorly and trusts bad information that comes out the other end, that's on them not the tool.

That said, I very much am concerned with how quickly and blindly we're trying to develop and use AI. LLMs being used for narrow tasks like filtering results are at least limited a bit in risk, but what isn't limited is all the dangerous things we can do as we learn more from how these algorithms do those tasks well or poorly.
My suspicion is shared reality will end up bending to accommodate LLMs not vice-versa. Whatever the computer says will be "truth."

Try owning a home without paying the property tax, and see how long that lasts.
It sounds like a decent idea. It doesn't really resolve the problems with calories in vs calories out, though (ie. by and large you still need just as much feed). It also might not be cheaper - lots of meat agriculture largely leaves the animals to themselves before slaughter, which this obviously wouldnt be capable of.

You're also proposing a fairly massive genetic engineering project to get to that point too - I suspect there are many other problems on the chopping block that would be possible if/when we're capable of making those kinds of changes to organisms.

The idea does solve the moral qualms (if we ignore the squickiness of creating an artifical being in a much degraded state from its origin)
Both EMV and MIFARE (and similar solutions) indeed sit on top of ISO 14443-4 (or -3 for the older/lighter MIFARE versions), but they're conceptually very different:

EMV is an account-based payments protocol, and the card only confirms its presence in a transaction; balances are managed on the backend. The reader does not authenticate itself to the card at all.

MIFARE is a stored-value service and as such keeps track of the card's balance on-chip. This requires another smartcard on the reader side, holding the necessary keys for mutual authentication, but allows two-sided offline transactions, which is quite useful for transit applications (e.g. buses dropping out of network coverage, allowing higher volumes even during short server outages etc.)

Everything has externalities though. Don't get me wrong I'm all for a forest going unlogged, but we will replace those resources with something else.

We still use lumber, if it isn't locally harvested we buy it from another part of the world, outsourcing those externalities and throwing in all the extra costs of shipping, labor overhead for the various middlemen, customs, etc.

My point isn't that we're screwed and should just chop down forests because we're damned if we do and damned if we don't. But saving one forest won't fix anything by itself and could very well make things worse if we don't do it by simply reducing the number of resources we consume. Paying someone else to own the externalities will never help.
Not exactly. Harfbuzz, the font shaping library, has an optional feature to use WASM for shaping. Normal font hinting is much more restricted, precisely because Turing-complete fonts are a horrible idea.
Another pitfall was not staying scrappy. The company was incredibly hierarchical and a bit top heavy, with dozens of directors and VPs. A lot of people hired based on mere "background" i.e. worked in cleantech previously rather than based on ability to lead or build. Departments were fairly siloed as a result of the management layers.
I like the quote:

“It would be well if engineering were less generally thought of, and even defined, as the art of constructing. In a certain important sense it is rather the art of not constructing; or, to define it rudely but not inaptly, it is the art of doing that well with one dollar, which any bungler can do with two after a fashion.” Arthur Wellington

Where is the boundary between finance and engineering? And Engineering is also about making optimal tradeoffs in other dimensions (he mentions time, performance, scalability, sustainability, and efficiency).

I very much doubt that heavy metals such as mercury or lead are used to make tyres. I've only ever heard of steel belted tyres.

The article attempts to link the last couple of years of inflation to climate change, but doesn’t seem to cite any studies quantifying the supposed effect.

A 2023 study published in Nature found $143 billion per year of costs attributable to climate change globally from 2000-2019: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-41888-1. The bulk of that is loss of human life, especially in third world countries. $150 billion in global damages is unlikely to explain any significant amount of inflation in a $100 trillion world economy.

I now it’s possible that damages have increased exponentially in the last view years, but the article doesn’t cite any evidence of that. Moreover, there were years in 2000-2019, such as 2008, when climate damages were many times higher than they were in say 2015-2019. But we did not experience any significant inflation during those years.

Contiguous computer usage can sometimes be a nice benefit of long battery life, but I believe that for most people the bigger factor is no need to tote chargers or batteries when going out.

Another thing is when combined with good standby time, long battery life means the device will be more predictable and ready to use at any given point without leaving it plugged in all the time or having to remember to plug it in regularly. This isn't as important for a "daily driver" laptop that gets regular/constant use, but for tablets and 2-in-1's that serve more auxiliary purposes it's huge.

The criticism that people shouldn't anthropomorphize AI models that are deliberately and specifically replicating human behavior is already so tired. I think we need to accept that human traits will no longer be unique to humans (if they ever were, if you expand the analysis to non-human species), and that attributing these emergent traits to non-humans is justified.
"Hallucination" may not be the optimal metaphor for LLM falsehoods, but some humans absolutely regularly spout bullshit in the same way that LLMs do - the same sort of inaccurate responses generated from the same loose past associations.

I don't think it's true that C# isn't taken seriously at Microsoft - some of the frameworks on top of C# come and go, but I worked on JS on WinRT briefly and can say it was never, ever "taken seriously" in the way the core C# language and runtime is. If you want to work with azure or windows, C# will be the obvious best choice for the foreseeable future, and if you want to work with C# outside of those verticals I don't think it's a bad or dead end choice either.

> USA Policy is that all nukes are nukes.

There's a difference between stated policy, actual policy, and what people will actually do when in a given scenario. For example, the PRC has a stated nuclear no first use policy, but I don't think anyone really believes that if the Indian army were advancing on Beijing that nukes would actually be off the table.

> The idea being that we've never wargamed a scenario where small nukes were used that didn't turn into the treadmill of larger and larger nukes anyway. (Well, they used a 50 ton nuke. We should respond with a 500ton nuke, then they respond with a 10,000 ton nuke. Then we respond with a 100kTon nuke. Then they respond with a 1Mton nuke....)

> So the minute a 'Small Nuke' is used, we should just respond with the biggest nuke. No point dilly dallying, if we are all going to die we might as well get it over with faster and in a way that is to our advantage.

The French nuclear doctrine is actually the exact opposite of this: they have a small nuke (the ASMP-A) that's explicitly designed as a nuclear warning shot to make everyone stop and think for a second before escalating into full scale nuclear war.

The city replaced a 4 way stop with a traffic circle and ever since there’s been a car-totaling collision at least every other month. One leg of the circle is fed from a highway off-ramp, with a good portion of folks entering the circle at 150% of the legal limit. Another leg is from a 4 lane road that feeds the highway on-ramp, and those folks are getting amped for highway driving. I’m always nervous in the circle as I can’t count the times I’ve had to quickly brake to avoid being t-boned by some moron who doesn’t understand what a yield sign means.

Traffic circles really need a critical mass of drivers that know how to use them academically before they get installed all over town.
