This looks really fun, and I'm hopeful for low cost prototyping to come to IC development. But I think 3D printing is the wrong comparison -- the much closer example is PCBs, and while we can DIY PCBs (I did this in college) it's not even necessary as they're just so cheap because of the rise of aggregators and high volume scaling in China.

I have to wonder if there's not more that can be done on this front for low cost IC prototyping. I don't think the fixed infrastructure is necessarily the problem (i.e. building the fab) as there's enough capacity for cheap chips in volume, meaning each additional wafer isn't the cost limiting factor. There are multi-project wafers (like PCB aggregators), but my understanding is that the hard cost limit currently is the NRE of making the mask set, which isn't getting amortized over a sufficient number of devices in a prototype run.

So cheap masks (or fewer masks) would be an area I'd be interested to see development.
Lots of the “elites” read and hold in high regard extremely shoddy right-wing writing by lazy-opportunist or outright fraudster “intellectuals” that pushes crap like this. You’ve probably seen some books of this sort given glowing recommendations by posters on this very site. See: If Books Could Kill

[edit] the apparent appeal of these is that they tend to push a “you’re already doing great by Doing Capitalism, and the best thing you can do is keep doing what you were inclined to do anyway, which was more of that, because other solutions don’t work” message to their readers, which has obvious conscience-assuaging appeal and utility as PR/cover for future actions for the rich & powerful. These books happen to also surprisingly-often launder other right wing stuff like bigotry or anti-criminal-justice-reform positions alongside the straightforward flattery.
Point 1: The hidden implication is obviously the continued problem of large firms over-hiring when labor or money is cheap and then performing mass layoffs when it's not. If you are hiring someone or a group with plans of firing them later then the contract wasn't established in good faith. Many of these workers can make more hourly if they are independent, they are paying for stability.
No company should be able to double dip by hiring a large team to build a system and then firing most of them to maintain it on a shoe-string budget, if they want to do that they can pay top dollar to have a 3rd party build it

Point 2: No matter how it shakes out, if you structure your company in a way that white men or asian men are incentivized to do more or women and blacks are incentivized to do less, then your company has a racist incentive structure and it should be rebuilt. They aren't flying in 15-year-old Hadje from Chad, the people they hire are all similarly qualified so there shouldn't be such a large gap, as we know cause if we restrict it to just white men then there isn't this large pay gap. Besides, it's a complete myth that people are "payed what they are worth" if that were the case a 100xer would make 100x more than a 1xer after firing 99 people and keeping the 100xer. In reality they might double or tripple their pay and the rest just becomes (record) profits for the company and 99 people are out of work.

Point 3: Does the company have any evidence that it doesn't work or should we just take their word? Doesn't work in what sense? That profits for the company aren't maximized? If that's the only metric then why should the employees be payed at all? Just have them as slaves and use the government to beat or kill them if they disagree.

Doesn't the use of the word "just" frequently imply that someone is violating the yagni principle? Being rude can certainly be unproductive as well, but an infinite amount time and money can be wasted on unnecessary features and process. I think the question of whether effort actually helps move a task to completion is a crucial one, so getting down to brass tacks "just do this task and stop talking about metrics" has to happen eventually.

Empathy has second order side effects I guess. It's still better to be able to empathize than not. As a highly empathetic person myself, I had no choice but to dial it down as I got older. My first instinct at someones' misfortune is of course still one of empathy, but then I ask myself if there's anything I could do to help, if this person deserves it, though it could be an animal in pain. At this point, no matter what the answer is, the empathy signal is no longer useful, I turn it down all the way, think of something else, etc.
Got it now. Yes, I was missing something (obvious).
I agree with a lot of what you're saying. I don't think private firms need to be as ham-fisted as sending cops to your door though.

If Tesla wants to increase car ownership, they just need to control a few key politicians to dismantle alternative forms of transporation.

In an ideal world, liberal democratic governments would keep corporations under control while ensuring our individual rights, and corporations would provide goods and services at the lowest, most efficient rate. This is not the case in reality unfortunately.
I'd say either both are equally natural (hard to believe when you've been conditioned in a mostly competitive environment) or cooperation is actually more common (it's just that you consciously register the competitive).
I agree. Maybe on the internet we really do require /s just to make sure everyone understands, but it looks to me very much sarcastic.
This approach to AI privacy is intriguing! I’d love to see how these local models perform on complex tasks compared to cloud-based alternatives, especially when it comes to efficiency and resource needs
This is why it is important to consider what kind of software or software components are surviving the tests of time and using them as a guide for future software.

As a software dev my gut feeling is that this requires the polar opposite of move fast and break things — instead of going for the obvious solution it requires you to think a bit more how data flows (or ought to) flow through the organizations using the software.
The fallacy (...ish) in these conversations is that men and women always work the same types of jobs. Which you pretty much just admit isn't really the case, which your "teaching and nursing" comment.

Ultimately, it turns out, men have a combination of typically choosing higher-paid careers and also being more demanding in terms of compensation. At the end of the day I can't hold a gun to women's heads and make them become engineers. If they want to be teachers, then so be it.

But wait! That doesn't mean that there isn't discrimination at play. Because typically jobs that are predominantly women are lower paid. It's complex, because:

1. Typically, there ARE some value/toughness differences in the job. Being a nurse is "easier" than being a doctor. But how much? Are we certain we're dividing the pay equitably?

2. While men have these higher paying jobs more, men aren't more educated. At least, not anymore. What could be the factors leading women to receive education in fields that are less economically viable?

Also, while there is a pay gap, this isn't the only gender gap. Clearly, job distribution across gender is very complicated. For example, men make up 97% of workplace deaths. Why do men choose these jobs more? Is it biological, social, economic, or all three?

Jewish oral tradition, at the time of the writing of the gospels, had largely been replaced by the robust scribal polity and the infrastructure that they created that was dominant at that time. This is further evidenced by the statistically insignificant amount of transposition errors for written works from that era.

Was oral tradition around and popular for the lay polity that time? Absolutely. Was it heeded in and above scribal tradition? No, not at all.
No I think that’s a completely different beast, this is only for html/websites.

I've seen a lot of complaining without any facts.

I've been building and automating data centers for years now. Systems has greatly simplified my life. I use all of the systems tooling; timesyncd, networkd (which is actually does _more_ unlike what is stated above, go read the man page), timers (better than cron, again go read the man page) resolved.

Not only does it solve a lot of problems, the configuration file format consistent across the tools, and the configuration is consistent _across distros_. I can write large swaths of automation that just works on most modern Linux distros.

Anyway, I'm not one to argue on the Internet. But I'm absolutely tired of hearing that's it's a dumpster fire. Sure, there are legitimate complaints and use cases where it might not be a good fit, but that holds true for all software. But, there is a reason so many distros switched to it. It's objectively better than the way things were. Those of us that deal with this stuff day in and day out are not going back to the way it was.
"When I first moved here, you could use WhatsApp without giving access to your contact list: you could type in a number and directly chat with a person. Then an update came and the app refused to run unless you gave access."

1. Disable Contacts app.

2. Install OpenContacts app from f-droid.org.

WhatsApp continues to work without having access to either Contacts or OpenContacts.

Instead of typing a number in WhatsApp, create a new contact in OpenContacts then start the conversation from OpenContacts.

It is easy to export and import as .vcf from OpenContacts. The .vcf files can be created and edited with a text editor.
Thank you for putting in a good word for "real" calculators. My HP-15c is always within reach.

Solid list of basic gym equipment as well. I'd add a good dumbbell set to your list unless you lumped those under "weights". A few different types of bars, a dip belt for adding weight to dips and pullups, and a low / mid / high cable set with various handles are also nice to have. Bonus points for a reverse hyper.
Sometimes I wonder how it feels to be an engineer at such a company, having all your private APIs, weird bugs and dirty laundry aired in a public breach disclosure.

Though it's likely in a case like this, no single person was responsible for the vulnerability. Probably 5 or 6 different teams owned different parts of what he exploited (which is probably why the exploit existed in the first place - big complex system where everyone only understands their tiny piece of it).
What a funny naive thinki. Cloud services don't protect from the official authorities. Unless you want to go to jail.
Fascinating project! The approach to enhancing the dataset and exploring feature engineering for something as dynamic as Dota 2 must have been a serious challenge, but the results sound promising. It’s inspiring to see machine learning applied to gaming analytics like this—gives a whole new perspective on how we can quantify and predict complex, real-time events. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves!
A raid is a lot of work and only happens when you know you find something.

For 99,9% of companies, you get audited every 5—25 years by getting a visit from your local tax authority.

Remember: Small/medium companies have comparable companies and you can easily spot the tax dodgers. Or tax dodging is unofficially tolerated to some degree — think restaurants only accepting cash.

Most companies are not as blatantly illegal as Uber..

You don’t have to test them all end to end before merging a PR. You should have multiple stable pre prod environments for e2e testing. But if most changes fail e2e testing then your sdlc is broken before then and that should be fixed first. You need better designs and better collaboration and better local tests and code reviews.
I can find some ranking metric that your country will be low on the list, I guarantee it. On the other hand, what metric can I find that puts it at #1? There are a few of those that work for the US.
You seem to be conflating problems and different groups of people that aren't directly related.

To clarify some different groups:

* The faster-cpython project, headed by Guido and his team at Microsoft, is continuing fine, most of the low hanging fruit was accomplished by 3.11, further improvements were moved to medium term goals and they were delayed further by the free threaded project which broke assumptions that were made to optimize CPython, they have adapted but it has pushed big optimizations out to later released (think probably 3.15ish)

* The free threaded project, initiated by Sam Gross at Meta, is continuing fine, it was never intended to be ready by 3.13, the fact there is even a build officially published is very fast progress. There isn't yet a plan to make it default, depending on the compatibility of the free threaded build it could be a quick transition or a 5+ year switch over.

* The PSF, the Steering Council, and the CoC WG are all different groups that have different responsibilities and aren't typically involved in day-to-day choices of committing certain features.

* The release manager is a core developer in charge of making the final choice on whether a particular feature is stable or not. It was the 3.13 release manager who decided to revert the new GC which was intended to generally improve performance for non-free threaded builds, which it may still do in a future release with sufficient fine tuning.

Now, there are clearly communication issues in areas of the Python community, but there is also a lot of people getting on with great work and improvements and communicating fine.
> Fear is fundamentally a hardware attribute and not a software issue (ie not trainable).

The fun thing is that this hardware we have can be rewired so it could be trainable in many instances. Maybe in all of them if we only knew how.
It's disappointing how many companies don't offer a bug bounty. I have a hoard of vulnerabilities I've found over the years just sitting in my head. It doesn't help that there are legal risks with reporting them & they can technically sue you to hell (EU/UK)
What do you think distinguishes the HP-50 from the 48, 49? I had a 48 and 49.

There were form factor and interface changes, the 50 is an ARM running a simulator vs the original Saturn architecture, there's the SD card.

What are the key software changes?

Better CAS?

I admittedly don't use it in any great depth (I did in the past), but the iHP48 is a very nice HP-48 for iOS. And it solves my primary complaint with the originals, a backlight.
this is forgetting that the US exists. The US doesn't want China to invade Taiwan or to control TSMC. if China invades, is very much in the US interest to fly everyone important at TSMC and their families to the US, and to blow up the buildings. it's also in the TSMC employees interest because living in a warzone sucks. Furthermore, this policy is a dissinsentive for China to invade since it means that invading won't provide an economic benefit.
Not sure, I think there is a lot of research being done here.

Actually, browser use works quite well with vision turned off, it just sometimes gets stuck at some trivial vision tasks. The interesting thing is that screenshot approach is often cheaper than cleaned up html, because some websites have HUGE action spaces.

We looked at some papers (like ferret ui) but i think we can do much better on html tasks. Also, there is a lot of space to improve the current pipeline.
I’m convinced this is the way to go. Rather than imitating commercial fab techniques, let’s find something that works without the toxic chemistry or vacuum chambers, even if it’s janky at first. 3D printers were janky at first too.
How is this relevant to Uber's files and computers located in other jurisdictions?
You do know my income has already been taxed? Why am I paying double tax when buying alcohol? Why is my income taxed when the companies revenues were already taxed?

There is no double taxation. Transactions are taxed, not money.
Pensions only hurt companies long term if they are lying about the long-term cost. If the pension is funded, how can it hurt a firm? A fully-funded pension attracts employees, and encourages retention in a competitive market.

Unless your argument is that management will always lie about the cost, and under-fund. Which is more of a comment about American management and the regulators than about pensions.

Normally I'd say corporate pensions are a terrible idea because no firm around today can credibly promise to be good for its debts in 40 years. But Boeing really is TBTF, so a pension from Boeing might actually be worth something.

> I want to push back on this being a "dark art" - there is no magic in engineering (nb4, any sufficiently advanced technology etc etc). It's a skillset that requires education, experience, and expertise on par with anything we do in other areas of engineering. The stakes are just a little higher than software because you're dealing with the physical world and physical things have tangible costs and/or danger.

I think "engineering" in software generally means optimizing a path to a targeted set of behaviors so that the piles of garbage underneath don't end up blocking their execution for eternity.

Our starting point is therefore different. You ought to somehow be working around all the physical piles of dust and patchwork of fires that must be constantly igniting inside your laser machinery. I picture it something like the mad surgeon in Minority Report, creating a small transient sterile environment to do illegal eye surgery in a room full of filth.

In that light your "art" looks "dark."

On a semi-related note, Typst had similar issues but the devs are actively working on fixing issues like this.
Multinationals yes, crypto not really. The problems with crypto are just an extension of the existing "war on drugs" that has never really succeeded at anything besides justifying why lots of tax money should be spent murdering citizens.

Large multinational companies are accustomed to openly breaking the law and getting away with it in the USA; when they try to do the same in Europe they are very surprised when the law actually comes after them.

They also raid anyone else they don't like, such as people who run Tor exit nodes... but random small businesses are not in that group.
> I tend to feel that static linking is overrated.

I agree. My response was just meant to indicate that NativeAOT has comparatively more effort and focus in .NET ecosystem than GraalVM's Native Image in JVM's, and as a result is an option that is easier to opt into where it makes sense. There's an intention to make it play as nicely as possible with most common scenarios and ideally not require user input when enabling it even with difficult to analyze reflection scenarios.
Bad, especially if you have no control because you don't work in that department but you know you could do better than that department.

I would be curious if there are any accounts/reports of people working there - especially engineers - that could verify the claims of no alarm being raised when the first structural failures started showing up. It is often the case that people on the ground report such things but when "reports" are written for the higher ups, facts get "massaged" according to expectations.
