When in doubt, go with the side which has been forthcoming. Zendesk didn’t publish details and wrote their post misleadingly describing it as a supply chain problem sounding almost as if they were a victim rather than the supplier of the vulnerability. It’s always possible that there are additional details which haven’t come out yet but that impression of a weasel-like PM is probably accurate.
> That's for safety if a flake of dirt or dust lands on the front window right over where one of the cameras are, it will do a wipe and try to get rid of the thing

Not that dry conditions. I live in Trondheim, where it rains/snows well over 200 days a year, so it's not wiping off some dry dust of the camera area. It just starts wiping the clean window in perfectly fine weather. At other times it rains quite a bit and it does not come on.

The software update to soft click the left stalk to engage the wiper menu via the left steering wheel roller is a nice quick fix for these situations, so they are doing something.

>> it has a well designed UI unlike virtually all microwaves (except the cheap 80s ones with a mechanical timer knob).

Growing up we had a Sharp Carousel microwave, a dial for the timer and a slider for power.

Nowadays they're all different. If you hit the number '1', does it automatically start a 1 minute timer, or can you enter 1:30?

Do I have to hit cook, or time before I can enter a time? If I hit start does it automatically add 30 seconds?

The other thing is I can remember those things were $400 in 1982 dollars, bought I recently bought a pretty nice $80 1100 watt Hamilton Beach microwave at the local big box store. I doubt it will last 30+ years, though.

I'm inferring from this that their current plan is to import lithium-7, from either Russia or China?

- "The Kairos Power fluoride-salt-cooled, high-temperature reactor requires highly enriched lithium-7 to support operations. The high enrichment requirements complicate quality and process control due to lack of qualified standards and instrumentation capable of meeting the required precision and accuracy. Currently, enrichment [sic] of 99.95% 7Li is imported to the U.S. in limited quantities."

https://gain.inl.gov/content/uploads/4/2023/10/KairosPower_A...

- "Due to environmental concerns and relatively low demand for enriched lithium, further use of the COLEX process is officially banned in the USA since 1963, which strengthens China’s near unanimous [sic] hold over the market of enriched lithium, followed by Russia.[7]. [...]Although US nuclear industry relies heavily on Chinese and Russian enriched lithium, ecological concerns over the process may impede its future domestic use at industrial scale."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COLEX_process#COLEX_separation...

(Tangentially, the Chinese FLiBe reactor also uses enriched lithium-7, so I guess they're self-sufficient in that, as both supplier and consumer).

The point is that the isn't some mysterious force we cannot comprehend. If the odds are stacked against us, change the odds instead of medicating everyone.

At the same time, we are all still individuals. We agency to make life decisions. I generally don't subscribe to the notion that people are helpless even in the face of a big scary corporation. There are two competing ideas. Either 1 there is some unknown force creating this problem(but doesn't extended to the entire human population for some reason) or 2 we know there are environmental causes. For #2, why systemically stack a drug on top if we know what the boogy man is? #1 we need to seriously buckle down on research on what the environmental/behavior factor is so we can bring everyone back to human baseline. Using drugs for people already in great suffering is one thing, but that is very different from widespread distribution as a preventative.

It's funny; I wish Rust was better suited for bare metal than it is now. But no matter how much people perceive Rust as a bare metal language like C, it was quite literally made for a level or two above that, in browser engines.

[Among the problems with] Justifed True Beliefs being "knowledge" is that humans are very bad at accurately stating their beliefs, and when they state those beliefs, they often adopt the inaccurate statement as the actual belief.

Let's take the obscured cow example. Nobody outside the confines of a philosophy experiment believes that there is a cow in the field. They believe that they see something which looks like a cow (this is justified and true) and they also believe, based on past evidence, that what they are seeing is a cow (this is justified but not, in this special case, true.) But if you play this joke on them repeatedly, they will start to require motion, sound, or a better look at the cow shaped object before assigning a high likelihood of there being an actual cow in the field that they are observing. They will also ask you how you are arranging for the real cow to always be conveniently obscured by the fake cow.

Unsurprisingly, gaining additional evidence can change our beliefs.

The phenomenon of a human gaining object permanence is literally the repeated updating of prior possibility estimations until we have a strong base estimation that things do not cease to exist when we stop observing them. It happens to all of us early on. (Bayes' Theorem is a reasonable approximation of mental processes here. Don't conclude that it accurately describes everything.)

The papier-mache cow simulation is not something we normally encounter, and hypothesizing it every time is a needless multiplication of entities... until you discover that there is a philosophical jokester building cow replicas. Then it becomes a normal part of your world to have cow statues and cows in fields.

Now, software engineering:

We hold models in our brains of how the software system works (or isn't working). All models are wrong, some are useful. When your model is accurate, you can make good predictions about what is wrong or what needs to be changed in the code or build environment in order to produce a desired change in software behavior. But the model is not always accurate, because we know:

- the software system is changed by other people
- the software system has bugs (because it is non-trivial)
- even if the software system is the same as our last understanding of it, we do not hold all parts of the model in our brains at the same weights. A part that we are not currently considering can have effects on the behaviour we are trying to change.

Eventually we gain the meta-belief that whatever we are poking is not actually fixed until we have tested it thoroughly in practice... and that we may have introduced some other bug in the process.

The maintenance reason is not really serious: you can maintain one version of the library and still do only static binaries: when you need to upgrade the library, you recompile it, and relink every binaries that uses it. The whole process is slower that doing dynamic linking, but still quite fast. It does require tooling, though.

> Power outages, while not at the level of a third world country, are quite frequent. Nuclear is the highest energy density power generation you can get.

Well that is more because the American grid is suffering from a mountain load of neglect-debt to a tune that paints the infamous German railways as saints - the Camp Fire for example was most likely caused by a C-hook breaking after many, many decades of neglect [1].

Here in Europe, we get by just fine with outages measured in maybe a dozen minutes (!) a year [2] - Germany got rid of all nuclear reactors, many old ones in other countries were retired as well (Fessenheim, the most infamous one, in 2020), and while there are new builds, they are often decades late and many billions over budget.

How do we do this? We have strict regulations across the board (mandating stuff such as resilience against bad weather, unlike Texas which IIRC refuses to tie in to the other US grids to avoid such regulation), a cross-continental spanning grid [3], and most especially... we just love to bury our cables belowground, so even in the case lightning or storms hit, the actual impact on the consumers is all but negligible. And as the infamous summer of 2023 shows, the power grid still didn't fail even as dozens of NPPs in France and Switzerland had to completely shut down or significantly reduce output because there was not enough cooling water [4]. Hell we even manage to supply an entire country at war with decent power, despite Russia continuously attacking the power grid.

I don't think it suggests how the time block translates into PRs. It could very well be a series of PRs.

In any case, the nature of the product / features / refactorings usually dictates the minimum size of a PR.

> This suggests that this pair of people only release 1 big PR for that whole cycle

I think that's a too-literal reading of the text.

The way I took it, it was meant to be more of a generalization.

Yes, sometimes it really does take weeks before one can get an initial PR out on a feature, especially when working on something that is new and complex, and especially if it requires some upfront system design and/or requirements gathering.

But other times, surely, one also has the ability to pump out small PRs on a more continuous basis, when the work is more straightforward. I don't think the two possibilities are mutually exclusive.
This looks awesome. About 15 years ago, I started working on a headless browser and maintained it for several years. It used SpiderMonkey as the js interpreter and had a custom DOM implementation. It ran all the modern js from the time, AJAX, etc. Later, I added a custom Flash runtime. It basically did everything but draw to the screen. That project was a lot of fun.

I'm definitely interested in going through this book.

Taboos are often controversial.

And if he were a sociologist or anthropologist, published in the field with any reputation at all in it, who could speak on that complex dynamic over history and the interplay between environment, tradition, human biology, and social context, he might have a prayer of using reason to move the needle on the taboos in his own culture. But he's not. He's a professor in another field speaking way out on the deep end of a field he doesn't have the credentials to be taken seriously in.

We all have freedom of speech, but academic professors are expected to uphold a level of rigor that most people are not, and his writings on this topic harm his credibility and therefore, indirectly, his ability to advocate for free software.
