Do you really think there's as many people as excited about SpaceX launches as there were people interested in the space race in the 60s? I'm not sure why you're assuming what my opinion is on this; I'm talking about people in aggregate, which is what matters in terms of the government investing heavily in it like they did before.
If you look at it from a geopolitical angle, it's much to be celebrated. It means US can rely on its democratic like minded friends to help protect the supply chain of cutting edge chips, against the now very visible alliance of dictatorships (Russia, China, North Korea, Iran).

And make no doubt about it, there is a democratic alliance vs dictatorships here. Russia is aggressively sourcing artillery shells from North Korea, ballistic missiles from Iran, and financing and weapons from China. China incidentally is the economic caretaker of Iran and North Korea.

I suffer from anxiety and OCD although not diagnosed. I feel immense pain seeing many of my personal projects left at a standstill on my table because I get anxious about some random thing and get obsessive thoughts of it especially losing everything. This has devastated my personal life and relationships. I remember as a child crying and telling my parents about this but they took it as me making excuses to not work.

How did you manage to handle your anxiety and OCD? I am taking steps where I just start and that puts me on a groove and I forget most of my problems including my environment but the biggest problem I face is to just start. I kind of feel ok when I have people around but when I am alone it is a complete mess.
I wonder why they did it now of all times. This is a card you can only play once.
I hope one day that the dudes eating sugar and the dudes using fluoride get into a room together, and discuss how long and often said substances are in contact with dental enamel, and at what concentrations, and then either they convert to homeopathy, or find something better to do with their HSAs.
Orgs that are existential competition (government, hospitals, unis, Google) tend to fatten their bureaucracies. It becomes a goal in itself.

Many can't show super high profit by design (government, unis, non profits) or due to anti trust fear (Google) so it makes sense to just hire more.

Hezbollah started this war on October 8, and they can stop it by ceasing their attacks.

Israel have no reason to want a war. It's Hezbollah who want to conquer Israeli land. Israel wants nothing from Lebanon.
Health insurance in the US can't- it's protected by a law called GINA. Life insurance, however, can use DNA information.
Sure, but sitting next to someone and being able to ask them questions is easy, quick, and natural. And often helps build relationships.

As is sitting in an area and seeing who everyone goes to ask questions, and even overhearing the discussions.

So someone can learn how to phrase questions, what are useful types of questions to ask, what types of questions get someone told to ‘do their own research’ vs gets in-depth help, etc.

For a junior, that is very valuable because they often literally don’t even know where to start.

For someone with more experience, they often either already know all these things, or know how to find them out pretty quickly even without the help of watching what is happening, yeah?
Have you tried any Dyslexic fonts, like https://opendyslexic.org/ ?
People will be happy as long as it's not Taiwan (e.g. Singapore or Malaysia).
Well, sure. The essential tradeoff is always figuring out how much to economically kneecap yourself in the short term to maintain economic independence in the long term.

And, of course, if you overshoot and the other guys outgrow you as a result, that limits your ability to be secure as well.
Wow, I had no idea accounting was such a big thing outside of like, actual full time accountants.

Doesn't using anything but some ultra well known service amplify the consequences of failure?

Like, isn't the IRS going to think any tech related error is more suspicious than if you had used some cloud thingy?
For me this whole things, including the previous use of AI backed social graph modelling build from digital surveillance of Palestinians, being use for as targeting intelligence, for drone strikes on people homes and families.. this whole thing chills me to the bone about ever wanting to use a social network, or a always connected mobile device ever again. Israel has taken the Dark Mirror SF speculations about the shifts in power and capability as the instruction manual and we're mostly ignoring the warnings. There nothing stopping this happening to any of us.
Would it not make the situation worse? The risk/reward of an intervention massively changes when Taiwan is no longer the only source of chips.
Anne gave us the cold shoulder, too. if you're not in her list of people she wants to talk to, she'll ignore you. Susan was very different- extremely open and caring if you sent her an email when she was VP of Ads.

Taiwan might be a more appealing target if all of TSMC's output is located there.
This is awesome. Can’t wait to install it and put it through its paces.
A 9 year old child was killed, proving this attack wasn't as targeted as you think. However Israel is happy to accept any amount of collateral damage as long as it doesn't happen to them.
Damages are on top of return of the money.
For infotainment certainly, maybe not for instrument clusters, especially in base model or commercial vehicles.
Great review, thanks for the link. His point that it's easier to forecast and accept the future than to understand the time before television or telephones really got under my skin.
Uh, no. That is not at all addressing what I said at all.

In my case, someone was there to ‘defend it’, and had the documentation I noted.

In this case, none of that happened or was the case.
I wonder how ibecc compares with real ecc, now that it's supported for these lower spec chips.

getaddrinfo is defined by POSIX and UNIX. Where the implementation is doesn’t matter. It’s portable, which is why it’s used. The slide deck referenced above talks about better implementations for various platforms, but they are all platform specific.

So OP might not be completely accurate, but getaddrinfo is _the_ way to resolve names if you are writing portable POSIX and/or UNIX code.

>This sets a dangerous precedent for attacking unsuspecting army personnel

Israel and Hezbollah are at a state of war. Hezbollah is a paramilitary organisation that does not meaningfully distinguish between military and civilian staff. There is already a very clear legal precedent - being an unsuspecting or off-duty combatant offers you no protection under international humanitarian law. Unless you're hors de combat, you're a legitimate target at all times. Sabotage of this type is an entirely legitimate ruse of war.

Only gotta last 80 years, it's pretty rational given the constraints. The what-ifs are unlikely to materialize at all, low probability to happen to you, and avoiding them if they do materialize requires that neither you nor any of your relatives submit their dna or have any contact with the justice system ever.

DNA is already protected from use by insurance companies so that's a future harm that already got squashed.
UIKit is pretty fast although a major step down in dev velocity.

AppKit on the other hand seems to be pretty intrinsically slow and the controls are looking increasingly dated.
Given that the focus is performance, do you have any benchmarks to compare against the likes of TensoRT-LLM.
Israel is definitely at war with Hezbollah.

Hezbollah is of course not a country (though they're a proxy for Iran), but they occupy parts of Lebanon, so you can't attack them without attacking Lebanon.
Tata the ferrous conglomerate? Do you have a cite
Isn't this better for Taiwan because it strengthens their ally, The USA?

If China would just wipe out Taiwan's ability produce chips, and disables part of the US information tech supply chain, then it would be bad for Taiwan right?

Whenever I hear the personal story of someone who's dumped large amount into the absolutely most bullsh*t scammy cryptocurrency there is always some element of "I heard about Bitcoin in XXX and didn't buy any / got it scammed / sold it right away, and now I'm going to make up for it!"

Spoiler: they usually don't. Many end up in a spiral of buying in to increasingly implausible risk-on choices in an effort to recover their prior losses (which is increasingly difficult and so requires greater returns) and repeated cycles of buy high/sell low.

This is in contrast to people who merely find some crypto thing useful or are interested in investing in it on the basis of some beliefs about it and don't feel like they've already missed out on anything. They too may lose money, but if they appear to lose less, manage the losses better, and they tend to fall for impossible schemes or outright scams less often.

It seems like the specific goal of offsetting a perceived loss is significantly worse than other goals even just a simple "I want to make lots of money".

I wonder if the same thing goes for entrepreneurs too-- do people who feel the pain of missing out on a big tech corp paycheck or surgeon pay tend to go for less plausible businesses?

The San Jose facility is active. There was some controversy surrounding it recently as some members of the public have been complaining that they’ve been illegally releasing solvents into the environment, which resulted in some EPA investigation/enforcement action [1].

According to some reports they may be developing micro-LED display tech there, not necessarily chips.

There's been plenty already provided in the thread.

Plenty of cases where random traffic stops and airport "additional screening" checks have resulted in cash being seized, even when someone has sufficient evidence that they withdrew it from a bank.

In Civil Asset Forfeiture cases the burden of proof is reversed (i.e the cash is presumed guilty).

Simply having a bank receipt doesn't prove innocence of the cash, and the law enforcement officers who seize it will just do so and claim that you were about to do something criminal with it.

It's on you to prove - in court, by filing a lawsuit - how you came by it, how it was to be used in legitimate activity. Even then, if you 100% prevail, you're still liable for all of your costs for doing this.

If you had to file a Federal case (because local/state authorities can, and will, send it to some federal agency and get 80% of it back in a sharing-arrangement) then your costs for getting your money back are increased even further.
Seems solid to me. They can predict reduction of caries before they add it to city supply water, which still happens in China I believe.
I'm confused by this; isn't the board of directors who picks the CEO? Or are they locked in for some period of time and don't want to wait around?
For manufactured cells, integrated safety devices would likely preclude such a fault.

People say they have seen cells explode, but don't realize those are probably highly engineered failure modes (the cells are/need to be specifically designed not to explode).

It's why people are burned by consumer product battery fires, and die from fire, but I think death from explosion of consumer products is rarer.
Unless this is election propaganda, which very well it might be, this is huge news. I know there were a lot of problems for this facility and wasn't aware they were this far advanced in production.
Same for Samsung, then.
At that burn rate it seems like the only recourse other than a buy out offer from another company at this point is to shutdown everything not related to cancer drug development and self-financing that endeavor.
Crowdstrike exploited their own 0-day. Their market cap went down by several billion dollars.

A patch should, at minimum:

1. Let the app run
2a. Block the offending behaviour
2b. Allow normal behaviour

Part 1. can be assumed if Parts 2a and 2b work correctly.

We know CrowdStrike didn't ensure 2a or 2b since the app caused the machine to reboot when the patch caused a fault in the app.

CrowdStrike's Root Cause Analysis, https://www.crowdstrike.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Chann..., lists what they're going to do:

====

Mitigation: Validate the number of input fields in the Template Type at sensor compile time

Mitigation: Add runtime input array bounds checks to the Content Interpreter for Rapid Response Content in Channel File 291
- An additional check that the size of the input array matches the number of inputs expected by the Rapid Response Content was added at the same time.
- We have completed fuzz testing of the Channel 291 Template Type and are expanding it to additional Rapid Response Content handlers in the sensor.

Mitigation: Correct the number of inputs provided by the IPC Template Type

Mitigation: Increase test coverage during Template Type development

Mitigation: Create additional checks in the Content Validator

Mitigation: Prevent the creation of problematic Channel 291 files

Mitigation: Update Content Configuration System test procedures

Mitigation: The Content Configuration System has been updated with additional deployment layers and acceptance checks

Mitigation: Provide customer control over the deployment of Rapid Response Content updates

I wasn't talking about "base metals and relatively simple manufacturing". Were you? When Tim Cook explained, in 2017, why the iphone had to be made in China, he explained that it's because China dominates advanced manufacturing, and has skill that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

The behavior of markets assumes free choices by participants that rewards the participants who make those choices. I do not dispute that the CEOs who were responsible for shipping supply chains to China were following their incentives, and it worked out well for them. I would argue that there are alterations to regulations on corporate governance which would increase long-term profitability of those corporations overall, but that the key people in the corporations aren't properly incentivized to pass them, nor are shareholders sufficiently informed or coordinated.

> Talking about LRATC, returns to scale, etc, is a big part of my unit 3

In your unit 3, do you draw LRATC curve as a parabola? Because that's the wrong shape for manufactured goods. Not only do average costs decrease, so do marginal costs, and this is monotonic over all but the shortest timescales. Wright's law is about half of the reason, yes.

Nanopore sequencing fidelity was garbage back in 2021. Not sure what it is now.
That’s incredible!

I remember one of the first times I used the Internet and opened my local radio station’s website from several states away. It was incredible to me that it worked and I also wondered why anyone across the country would care. The early internet was amazing.
The strategic shield isn't getting that much thinner: this fab is a generation behind last year's iPhone Pros and MacBook Pros.
So, there's two factors here, that move in opposite directions:

1. China is less likely to secure a semiconductor advantage over the West, if TSMC has a US location. Instead, China is likely to take out the nearby, high quality fab, and whatever they are left with domestically is more likely to be inferior to distant capabilities.

2. Because of #1, China is less likely to secure a massive advantage over the US by invading Taiwan; as a result the US may feel it less likely to support Taiwan.

I'm inclined to think #1 is the more important one. #1 makes the risk of an invasion much higher. #2 makes the reward for an intervention somewhat lower, but I don't think it changes China's calculation of how likely the US is to intervene that much.
TMSC has fabs in Taiwan, Japan, the United States, Germany, and China. the most modern ones are in the US and Taiwan. The others are older processes.
Looks interesting, great to see it specifically calls out supporting LLM servers as first class citizens!

I see some of the code is Java, that strikes me as an interesting choice - is there a reason behind that or simply the language that the devs were already familiar with?
The problem with publicizing genetic information is that you're defacto publicizing large amounts of the genetic information of your relatives, who may not be in a life situation where publicizing it carries no risk. This is also an objection many have to 23andMe.
You are mentioning a civil war that happened a decade ago that is by no means exclusive to Hezbollah. I couldn't care less what their founders wrote, but, strangely, they care about the rule of Islam in Israel when their president is a Maronite Christian and their party is one of the parliament members. I can agree that they are Iranian proxies for war against Israel, but it's far from installing Islamic rule. I mean they are also responsible for the secular movement that comprised many religious factions [1]

I'm a long way from Lebanon, but carry two pagers for Emergency Services (one per service). One used to be an Apollo Gold but now it isn't. From what I've read these were modified pagers, but I still rang one manager for reassurance. We need a strong statement for all the emergency responders and medical staff that still use these things that it's not going to happen to you.

Yes. Historic examples abound of the market being that wrong. People can and have made fortunes by finding those opportunities.

You usually don’t have the option to modulate this. It’s my second such position and neither one had the option of anything other than high stress, and near-burnout work intensity on highly ambiguous, organizationally and technically complex problems. If they could hire someone for less to do what I do, they would. On the positive side I no longer want to climb the ladder. The higher up you go the worse this gets, and I don’t think it’s worth it, not even for a “life changing” amount of money.
There’s really no difference between students at this level.

The quality of workmanship and repair has gone down drastically in India now. People have figured out how to make money by keeping things locked. Repair is just swapping out parts and cleaning or go for the next model. The mentality of people has also changed drastically with them changing products in short years. Consumerism has gone through the roof and there is an active disdain of people who preserve and get the product to function for a long time.

People have spent their whole lives on the “Homeric question,” but basically Homer is well preserved and overall the variations are minor. In particular, as far as can be determined from quotations in Plato, the Homer we have is basically the same as the one that Plato had.
But why did they decide that? It seems to be a pretty clear example of the perfect being the enemy of the good.

1. Better bacteria is found in the wild, it might be able to significantly reduce cavities. People could be randomly passing it to others through kissing, and no one is concerned about it since it doesn't seem to be harmful.

2. It’s not given to people for replacement therapy because (as the article states) people decided that a replacement therapy “needs to meet a number of criteria."

3. Except meeting that criteria makes people think the replacement isn’t safe and shouldn’t be tried.

The article is saying “of course we needed to add X characteristics to the bacteria, they were necessary in order for it to be a good replacement” and then goes on to say “of course people shouldn’t be using the bacteria with X characteristics, X characteristics might be dangerous.”
No. Not at the scale of Tiktok.
> Why is ordering startup important?

This is pretty fundamental stuff. You can't run a program if the disk that it's sitting on hasn't been made accessible yet. You can't start a network service that listens on a certain IP address if that IP address hasn't been configured yet, or if the destination for service logs isn't ready, or if our service needs to talk to some other service like a database which isn't running yet. Etc etc. Booting up a modern system to a graphical environment requires hundreds of things to happen in the right order.

As for everything else, the project announcement blog post from 2010 does a pretty great job summing up the shortcomings of doing "the simplest possible thing": https://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html . You can certainly still do things that way if you want, but most people value the benefits gained from a more intricate approach.
