> US and Japan are close to a deal to curb tech exports to China’s chip industry.. export controls are designed to close loopholes in existing rules.. make it harder for China to obtain critical chipmaking tools — restrictions that would have the biggest impact on ASML in the Netherlands and Tokyo Electron in Japan.. to restrict servicing, including software updates, and maintenance of the tools..
I've seriously used Erlang for a while, and Haskell looks kinda similar. Ingenious ideas there, cool features, but in the end it's cumbersome to use. So I can see why these are niche and wouldn't consider them next to big ones like Swift or C++.

1. It's not supply chain attack, it's terrorist attack.
2. It's not a clever move, it's a prevocation move
You really think it's a success to force Apple to lose money to make US politicians look like they are "doing something" about a world economy that is increasingly leaving the US in the dust?

Meanwhile in China, 1000 engineers (to one in the US) are building all kinds of electronics and embedded systems on shoestring budgets that truly force them to learn engineering. China's industrial policy architects are likely laughing at this big folly on the part of the US.

The worst is the 100% tariff on EVs which keeps the US in an artificial economy of gigafactory, high-end nonsense when the rest of the world will be getting true economies of scale from EVs which are actually simple, reliable and low cost.

It's deeply embarrassing that the US must suffer poltical rule of its economy along with the double embarrassment of seeing other nations do it so much more effectively.

Industrial policy should be measured in terms of person months of career acceleration (experience) per dollar. The US focuses on helping prolong the dominance of internal combustion engines and taxing high profile, high-end companies that do not offer skills that transfer well into the rest of the economy. How many Apples are there? Will forcing manufacture in the US suddenly result in another company doing 2nm process and competing with Apple? It's absurd.

I know of a variety of small and medium sized US tech companies (aerospace and 3d printing / robotics) that were almost sunk by US "industrial policy" becasue they relied on a small number of China-manufactured inputs that suddenly became unavailable, forcing unplanned re-engineering and work the companies could not afford. Sadly, one went under. Meanwhile, the US firms that import finished goods are thriving selling Chinese manufactured gear -- Chinese companies didn't have to pay US tariffs on the same inputs. Utterly absurd.

Politicians should stay out of the economy and focus on moving us closer to nuclear war and promoting the religion of American Exceptionalism.
The religion on census data of people living in the netherlands also was just a bunch of letters, till the Nazis invaded, then suddenly the bunch of letters got another meaning.

What the Nazis would have done if they had gotten their fingers onto such a ddatabase is anybodies guess.

> From what I can tell, a strain of the bacteria was found in the wild that created less acid and seemed to lead to less carries

I think you're confused about which changes to the bacteria were natural and which were engineered. A strain in the wild was discovered that produced a weak antibiotic that it had also developed a resistance to, but it still had the original metabolic pathway that produced lactic acid. Researches took that strain and genetically modified it to produce ethanol instead of lactic acid, and then relied on the natural antibiotic-related mutations to get this strain to replace common S. Mutans in the oral microbiomes of test subjects.

The useful non-acidic property of the strain is entirely artificially introduced. The natural mutation in the wild just allowed for outcompeting and replacing bacteria that lack it. There would be no benefit from personally experimenting with the natural non-engineered strains.
I cringe at Firebase and worry that this might be an issue. I would prefer not to have code debt at the start.
A persons conduct says more about their character in situations when they don't need to be nice, when there won't even be any consequence for not being nice.

One could prompt their local LLM with some psychopathic verbal abuse-- "Do it or I drill a hole in your skull!!!" -- you don't need to be nice to the LLM, it doesn't have feelings or memory, etc. The LLM doesn't deserve your kindness or benefit from it. But if you do this often can you really be sure that it will have no effect on how you treat people, or how you think of yourself?

And corporations are a lot more human than some LLM-- they're made of people, they pay people, they buy from people, they're owned by people. Abusing them can harm people, though, sure it doesn't always. You can't always tell when it will harm people, and your reasoning may not be the most unbiased when your own personal benefit is on the other side of the equation.

But even if it didn't matter, that no humans would be hurt. Do you want to push yourself towards the kind of person who will behave in an exploitive way when they can get away with it? Or do you want to be the kind of person who is confident enough in their own merit that they can play life on a slightly harder mode and walk past 'opportunities' that are less obviously upstanding?

People constantly set goals for themselves that go above and beyond what is required of them because it helps develop their skill, their character, or because their wiliness to face the challenge forms part of their identity.

In any case, I'm not judging anyone here-- just offering a different perspective.

Incentives can be, and often are misaligned. However, the context of our discussion is talking about large overall economic growth that has outpaced manufacturing growth, even though it is still positive. This isn't evidence of misaligned incentives.

> In your unit 3, do you draw LRATC curve as a parabola? Because that's the wrong shape for manufactured goods.

It's absolutely a bathtub.

It's steep-downward sloping, mostly flat for a loooooonnnggg time, and then upward sloping. Indeed, this understanding of the shape of LRATC originally comes from study of manufactured goods. At some point coordination gets hard and further increases in quantity require using resources that are not well suited for the task.

Of course, the quantity at which costs slope upwards may be at an impractically large quantity for any industry-- in which case that industry is likely to be a natural monopoly. And there are some recent arguments that coordination is easier thanks to information technology and that it is even harder to reach diseconomies of scale.
I'm fine with either approach as long as it's consistent. Practical Swift code will have a few "inout"s sprinkled around, wherever someone happened to pass in a struct (like array) instead of an object (like NSArray). And that's without bridging and stuff like UnsafePointer involved.

Edit: Just remembered that arrays still don't act like regular structs either! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24450284/conflicting-def...
Nice job—I'm always a fan of 'bring your own key' (BYOK) approaches. I think there's a lot of potential in using LLMs as virtual copy editors.

I do a fair amount of writing and have actually put together several custom GPTs, each with varying degrees of freedom to rewrite the text.

The first one acts strictly as a professional editor—it's allowed to fix spelling errors, grammatical issues, word repetition, etc., but it has to preserve the original writing style.

I do a lot of dictation while I walk my husky, so when I get back home, I can run whisper, convert the audio to text, and throw it at the GPT. It cleans it up, structures it into paragraphs, etc. Between whisper/GPT, it saves me hours of busy work.

The other one is allowed to restructure the text, fix continuity errors, replace words to ensure a more professional tone, and improve the overall flow. This one is more reserved for public communique such as business related emails.

I hate to break it to you but this:

The USA, overall, does not encourage the development of high-tech engineering, improved infrastructure, cultural growth, appreciation for academic rigor

is not true in the slightest. In my lifetime the USA brought to critical mass most technology that makes the modern world modern.

Infrastructure issues are a lack of holding local government accountable. My area our infrastructure is mostly new with several large bridges recently replaced without incident, most highways recently expanded, train infrastructure greatly improved and capacity expanded (and soooo much quieter it's awesome). Sewer expanded AND releasing less into the river. Oh and water policy changes (made possible by infrastructure improvements) allowing the re-establishment of Salmon in our rivers, improved sturgeon population.

The average American males attitude towards women in my lifetime has taken a huge cultural shift for the better. Huge changes have been made to reduce domestic violence (and peoples indifference to it) in my lifetime. Huge strides against inequality and racism have occured in my lifetime. Huge strides in LGBT+ rights. These are just off the top of my head cultural growths that have occured in my lifetime.

The education of the average American is soo much better than it was of my parents generation, or the one before them. People are much more empathetic, inquisitive, understand more tech, are more well read. I agree we don't place unreasonable academic expectations on our children, but don't mistake that for a lack of intellectual inquisitiveness. In fact, I would say our attitude sparks it more, and to a deeper, more passionate level. I can't recall running into young people who can't sign their name, while that was not uncommon in my grandparents generation and I know multiple people like that in my parents.

The USA is doing so much better than we were in the 1970s. The USAs willingness to vocalize our doom and gloom feelings is just one of our strengths, not a sign of our impending collapse.

I love China. My dad was a hippie, we had so many books on China and communism (I even grew up on a commune in the 70s). I have visited China and loved it. I have friends there, and many friends in the USA who were born in China (and got stuck in the USA when they were students during tiananmen). I wish China the best. It doesn't have to be an us versus them, this isn't Civ. Lying about the USA doesn't accomplish anything. Those trying to doom and gloom the USA into Russian style indifference are mistaking the 'tragically online' attitude of despair for a general American one.
> We can’t pretend things are going great in the US. But we also must reject the pessimism that says things must stay like this.

False dichotomy selling socialism. It doesn't have to stay like this, but that doesn't mean the author's proposed solution is the answer.
I mean, it is quite clearly said in the documentation that building from source is not supported.

Not at all. Lots of benchmarks show zstd being almost one order of magnitude faster, before even touching the tuning.
That you think full-stack developers such as myself are routinely earning "just under $200k" (but please feel free to reach out to me if you need an experienced dev and think that's a fair price to pay) yet "cost money and do not generate profit" seems to speak of a skewed perspective and/or experience, I think. I mean, if that were true, then what would be the point in hiring a web developer in the first place? Some sort of weird nepotistic makework scheme? Again, if that's your perspective…

In my world, clients come to me with a web site and a problem (or no web site and the problem of "I don't have a web site"), we agree on contract terms, and I solve their problem. If I do a good job at it (and I want to do a good job at it, because solving problems and making clients happy feels good while failing at that feels really bad), the client finds value in my work and they will come back to me the next time they have another problem that needs solving. It's that simple. Nobody's hiring me because of "candidate compatibility" and then throwing a bunch of money at me to do nothing.

At least in the short term, I'm not too worried about AI taking my job, because, as stated elsewhere, it's not yet good enough to do more than the least complex of tasks, and as one tries to get it to do more complex things, the odds that it will hit a brick wall due to a bug it can't code its way around or a creative understanding it can't unravel increase - so these sorts of tools might actually end up creating more work for more experienced professionals like myself (although I don't necessarily look forward to the days where I'm regularly being hired to unravel a plate of ChatGPT spaghetti). But even more than that, I feel like a good deal of the value I provide is in being able to talk to a client about what they want the site to do, how it will earn them money, and foresee potential problems or offer better solutions based on my experience - to answer questions that they didn't think to ask, and ask questions of my own to make sure we're on the same page on things. A client just giving me a description of what they want built followed by me just building it? That never happens. There's always discussion and back-and-forth to nail down details and make sure the site is as good as it possibly can be. So long as clients see the value in that, and until AI can do that sort of thing, I'm not sweating it.

TSMC is ahead because it adopted ASML's EUV tech earlier than Intel (huge blunder by Intel). The real tech breakthroughs came from ASML, and Intel now has that technology too (and is trying to leapfrog TSMC by being the first to get the new High-NA EUV from ASML, though it won't actually producing sub-3nm chips with it until 2025 or maybe 2026).
> “OpenDyslexic was compared to Arial and Times New Roman in three reading tasks: (a) letter naming, (b) word reading, and (c) nonsense word reading.”

Yikes, not a strong design IMO. I know very little about dyslexia, but reading individual words as a small child doesn’t seem like a comprehensive way to measure “how dyslexic people read.”

Presumably the primary envisioned use-case for a specialized typeface like this is paragraphs of text, read by people who have the language skills to ”think in paragraphs,” even if the visual processing is a challenge.

This is all armchair, I’d welcome correction or nuance.
Of course, you can hire a lawyer and sue anybody for anything. But hiring that lawyer and filing court motions costs money, so there's no point if the entity you're suing has no money. That's why I was curious, but according to other posts here, it does seem there might be at least some money to go after.

I learned about Novamin a few years ago [0], and ordered BioMin Restore [1] to give it a try. I'm now a devoted customer. There are other Novamin/hydroxyapatite toothpastes, but I only have experience with this one brand.

I think this company's latest news is the version of their toothpaste that has fluoride [2] is now FDA-approved for sensitive teeth, so they're going to be able to sell it in the United States specifically labeled to help with sensitive teeth. If you live in Canada or the UK [3], it looks like you can order this now.

I guess I’m the rare duckling who would report preferring OpenDyslexic! IMO it scans better, and is excellent when combined with beeline reader.

When I was at the ages of the sample, my lexile scores were through the roof, compared to the sample here which has poor to middling reading ability (typical for dyslexia) — i do not have dyslexia but still feels like OpenDyslexic makes it easier to read.

The data in the study does not support your conclusion that it “actually is worse”, unless i missed something in my interpretation? It seems to be a wash.

This smaller N=3 study supports the efficacy of OpenDyslexic, using _actual reading tasks_ instead of the more artificial task in the study you provided: https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/tayjournal/issue/76493/11524...
Here's a good roundup of the science for anyone who is curious -- https://www.doctorsofrunning.com/2020/04/footwear-science-ev...

My favorite part: "Despite all the evidence and research I have laid out above, it should be noted that only certain people seem to get benefits from the foams, carbon fiber plates and other technologies associated with these shoes. Research has come out just recently that the actual benefit derived from each subject varies greatly based on individual factors (Herbert-Losier et al., 2020). These performance changes can be as great as 10% (or more) in some people and for others may actually be detrimental. So as much as we talk about the percentages gleaned from the research suggesting how much certain elements contribute to changes in economy, remember that each person is unique in that effect."
This is a move with swinging geopolitical implications. But the value and urgency of the reinvigoration of the American manufacturing centre cannot be overstated.

China's gonna be a bit salty though.

What I really want them building in America though is low-end AMD chips for development boards.

4-Core/8-Thread CPU, 4-Core GPU, 16 GB ram, sane IO, and however many of Xilinx's FPGAs they can put on it without overdoing it.

People would be able to make some pretty decent things with that.

I'm not sure. Taiwan is already a democratic ally. They are relying on the chip manufacture to keep them safe politically. Without that they'll quickly get "absorbed" by China.

The US decoupling and isolating technologically/economically from the rest of the world, likely makes war more likely. Not less.
Any data on this? Sounds alarming
