See, and I was taught 10 mph lower, and that has been my experience driving in many states—8 mph over and you're fine, but much higher than that and you'll get pulled over.

A lot of this goes back to 2016 when states signed the Opioid compact that made it much harder to get Oxycontin prescriptions.

There were a lot of addicts that were getting opioids prescribed to them by a doctor and paid for by Medicaid. Abuse was happening but few needed to turn to crime.

Suddenly a lot of them lost their legal opioid prescription, and this is when we saw the explosion of fentanyl and the rise of drug fueled crime.

Note the Israeli findings and the months of experiments by US intel agencies after the fact and the conclusions they drew.

The initial counterargument from Kaspersky (which seems to address some but not other concerns raised in the above link) apparently was something like the following:

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/11/kaspe...

Both the above are from 2017 in the months after the issues about Kaspersky concerns first came to light. This triggered the ban of Kaspersky from US government computers back then. Not sure what info may or may not have come to light since then but most people are not even aware of the above.

The official 2024 USG reasons which impact are outlined in four bullets in the press release here:
https://www.bis.gov/press-release/commerce-department-prohib...
which in turn points to an ODNI (Office of the Director of National Intelligence) public-facing PDF/slide of the reasons:
https://www.dni.gov/files/CTIIC/documents/products/Kaspersky... and the US Commerce department's findings at https://oicts.bis.gov/pdfs/AppendixA.pdf (mostly blacked out but you get a sense of the back-n-forth reasoning justifying what steps short of a ban could be taken at least a little bit) and the Commerce Department Kaspersky FAQ at https://oicts.bis.gov/kaspersky/faq/

I have no first/secondhand knowledge of any of this stuff but this is what my curiosity turned up when I went poking around.

Having observed corporate US security practices, my perception is that a lot of protection involves scanning things using very low-level OS and/or network techniques. Remember that phrase "who guards the guardians? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quis_custodiet_ipsos_custodes%... ) The Kaspersky ban by the US Commerce department appears to be essentially a concession that "who scans the scanners?" is not something the US can particularly do for products with the type of low-level access provided to AV/malware products, particularly products from entities with a concrete history of specific adverse (2014-2017) behavior from a particularly skilled hostile country (in this case Russia).

> If you are including the tape, it's not true that there are finitely many states.

An infinite Turing tape can be in an identical state, however. The number of states don't have to be finite. If a Turing machine returns to an identical state, it will not halt. That's what we call looping.

An example of an identical state is 1 at indexes 3 and 5 of the tape, and 0 everywhere else.

Another example is the Brainfuck program `++[]`. This trivially returns repeatedly to a given finite state.

I don't think it's this. Tried a Meet call in Firefox just now. If you click the troubleshooting button, there's a CPU chart greyed out that says "try Chrome to see your CPU usage." Sure enough, in Chrome you can view how much CPU Meet is using, or maybe it's systemwide idk, either way I don't think is available through regular APIs. Edit: Definitely systemwide as confirmed with some `yes` background tasks.

P.S. The naming confusion always comes up. GVC is such a nice clear name.
Cupertino has no police department. They sometimes get cops from SJ but... visually speaking there are basically no cops. Their public schools are Really Excellent. Maybe not top 10 in the nation, but they are around top 100. Palo Alto is about as nice as Cupertino in many respects but has lots of police. They are both similar population towns. There are many cities which likely will never ever be Cupertino no matter what sort of governance they pursue. Similarly, America might never achieve another NYC, just as the UK might never achieve another London.

We need more sophisticated theories about what specific theories apply to what specific cities rather than looking for general copy-paste philosophies which can be summarized on the back of a napkin.

Thank you for the recommendation! RAW Power is one that I actually didn't have on my radar, and it certainly looks very interesting.

Maybe not as feature-rich as some of the heavy hitters, but it looks to be very focused in both its feature set and its UI. And it seems to hit that sweet spot where it does both cataloging and RAW processing competently.

This is the most promising alternative I've seen so far for what I'm yearning for, so thanks again!
> Do you think it’s acceptable to take 300 feet of commercial copper wiring from a random dude and pay him for it without question?

Well, here’s the problem with that: You’re showing that the scrapyards are acting as though we are living in a high-trust society, and act as though everything was legit.

Your proposal is to once again force the scrapyard to change and act like a potential customer is a thief. This is dangerous logic, because consider:

- Should computers have mandatory spyware? Many of their users do illegal things, some morally repugnant.

- Should stores check your ID at the door, even Walmart? That would surely stop thieves, it’s their own fault if they don’t.

My point is that there are no shortages of industries which have criminal customers. Even the company hosting your little web server.

I don’t like scrapyards; but I believe that it is the job of police to allow society to function like we can trust each other. If that means the scrapyards are a little trashy; so be it.
why would anyone do that?? the remaining "free print" sheets is perfectly good scratch paper if you leave it blank!
"all jobs are on site in San Diego"
Very cool, and very much what seems to be the trend for very high performance data systems: disaggregated storage. I think of Datadog's write-up for Husky, their newest/3rd gen data engine; https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/engineering/introducing-husky...

> By writing data directly to S3-compatible object storage, Bufstream can dispense with expensive disks and nearly eliminate inter-zone networking, slashing costs dramatically.

I am curious what the situation looks like for self-cloud-ers. If you own the servers, its less clear how much advantage there would be using s3 object store versus disk attached storage services. But reciprocally, getting good at Ceph and Ceph Object Gateway (their s3 compat) then being able to use and tune that storage knowledge at the platform level makes sense, versus having a separate storage service for x, y, and z.

Still, I think there is huge potential for something like Pulsar with BookKeeper tablets of data to rise. Our object stores don't seem to be excellent at data-locality, at replicating, and being able to tap that could yield some incredible systems efficiencies & speeds that object storage has abstracted away from us, that object storage has to brute force.

I'm curious what architecture flourishes there are with your latency tuning. Is this still object store based, or something different?

> For particularly latency-sensitive or latency-tolerant workloads, operators can tune how aggressively Bufstream trades latency for cost.

The upcoming plan to keep an Iceberg store materialized, available for querying sounds so so cool. Nice. You have my attention & interest!!

> In the coming months, we'll also allow Bufstream operators to opt into storing some topics as Apache Iceberg tables. Kafka consumers will still be able to read from the topic, but SQL engines will also be able to query the data directly.

It'll be neat to see how this differs versus the connector based architecture. Whether maintenance or latency or efficiency are the major winners of this would make an excellent deep dive.
> This is one example of legislation that mandates fantasy tech that doesn't exist.

If the goal is to increase the minimal cost of any vehicle which drives on a road then the worse the legislation is, the better it serves the purpose. Incumbents gain a lot by obstructing any newcomer from capturing market share.

Also, if cars are moving towards the direction of driving themselves, it goes without saying that an accurate speed limit will be one of the first functionalities to implement.

Given that cars 95% of the time are not moving anywhere, then self driving cars could reduce the car consumption by 10 times, an order of magnitude less. Car ownership is one of the biggest financial bubbles out there. By limiting access to newcomers, which will implement self-driving, they keep the bubble going.

See also, tariffs to BYD, from USA and Europe. Imagine people using BYD (or another car) and installing custom software, open source, auditable and extensible. As soon as a good combination of sensors and software is implemented which drives itself, then anyone can download and install it to his own car. Then the bubble will pop, and politicians will have failed to their mission.

RP2040 should cost $0.70 in some quantity (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/raspberry-pi/SC09...) and in low-quantity it's $1 from places like CanaKit. That's actually shockingly cheap for an ARM Cortex M0; I was assuming your ATmegas and PIC18s with a similar pin count (40, 48, 64) would be a bit cheaper, but they seem to be around $2-4 in similar low-production quantity. Power efficiency won't be anywhere near as good with the ARM part, but if you're making a battery-powered device, you might be able to use the extra dollar or so to make it rechargable, then people care a bit less if it eats batteries.

Try copy and pasting some HTML-formatted text from this page into your paste buffer.

I assure you that what goes into the buffer is HTML. You can verify this because if you paste the text into an HTML-embedding WYSIWYG editor (such as an HTML email composer) the formatting will be preserved. But if you paste the content of the same HTML buffer into VSCode, notice that you don't get the raw HTML but rather the textual content that was embedded in that HTML.
Just to set the stage and not entirely specific to this complaint... It really depends on what is and isn't subject to copyright for software.

Broadly, there is the distinction between expressive and functional code. [1]

And then there are the specific tests that have been developed by the courts to separate the expressive and functional aspects of software. [2] [3]

In practice it is very expensive for a plaintiff to do such analysis. For the most part the damages related to copyright are not worth the time and money. Plaintiffs tend to go for trade secret related damages as they are not restricted by the above tests.

There are also arguments to be made of de minimis infringements that are not worth the time of the court.

Most importantly the plaintiff fundamentally has the burden of proof and cannot just say that copying must have taken place. They need concrete evidence.

jfc the media telephone chain here is absurd. "Revealing a master controller of development and ageing" becomes "AP-1: The Master Regulator." A -> the is a pretty big jump. (https://www.uq.edu.au/news/article/2024/06/revealing-master-...)

Also - ugh these content mills are so lame. The university PR departments aren't helping - why a university feels it needs to contribute to lowering public trust in science by claiming every paper is a generation defining breakthrough is beyond me. But maybe pause for a second before breathlessly passing along a headline like 'master controller of aging and development uncovered'? And the underlying research (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S155041312...) and techniques used etc is pretty interesting - please don't cut research funding to genetics a few years down the line when immortality fails to materialize like longevity.whatever promised.
> a hill I am willing to die on: the documentation for a codebase should live in the same repository as the codebase itself.

I'm a big fan of this and treating documentation like a first class citizen.

There's also another benefit I think should be explicitly mentioned. It makes debugging, onboarding, and solving things much faster. We all know and have experienced the joke where you question who wrote this pile of garbage to find out that it was you all along. But at the core of this joke is the fact that we can't even remember what we ourselves did. So while things make sense at the time and might even seem obvious, that does not mean it'll continue to make sense nor that it'll be obvious to others. Especially to people who are onboarding into a new codebase.

Yes, documenting while you code takes "longer." But it only takes longer in the short run. It is much faster in the long run. The question you have to ask is if you're doing a sprint or a marathon. But then again there's very ill advised and self-contradictory advice on well known sites[0] and some companies perform back to back sprints. But I don't think people realize we're the ones creating our own messes. As anyone with anxiety will tell you, when you are rushing around it becomes easy to overlook small mistakes that will compound and only accumulate to make your anxiety worse than it was had you just slowed down in the first place. Creating a negative feedback loop where you only get more stressed to end up creating more problems than you solve.

There's times to move fast and break things, but if you don't also dedicate time to clean up your house will be filled with garbage and inhabited by a Lovecraftian entities made of spaghetti and duct tape.

Most other display technologies have their downsides too. For example, fot-matrix LCDs are far more fragile and more easily damaged by sunlight or heat than 7-segment LEDs. If you don't discuss that, but dwell on the downsides of 7-segment displays, it does feel a bit like a hit piece.

In fact, 7-segment displays aren't even a monolithic technology, and not all of the gripes in the article apply to every implementation. You have traditional LED models, LCD 7-segment displays, and then some OLED flavors, VFDs, and even electromechanical designs in niche applications.
