If there was a BSoD involved, it was probably one of the NT-based Windows Embedded versions (NT 4.0 Embedded, XP Embedded, …).

WinPE is the Windows Preinstallation Environment, used as the basis for Windows installation and recovery, and available for custom builds as an add-on to the Windows ADK[1], but AFAIK not intended or licensed for embedded use.

An advantage of a pure EV over a hybrid is that you don’t have the maintenance liability of the combustion engine, cooling system, and transmission.
Back in the day when Gentoo was in favor, USE flags and recompiling the world could make a huge difference in performance on much slower computers with far more limited RAM, and you cloths really see the difference. After waiting week for the world to recompile, that it. These days, unless you're, a hyperscaler and need to eke that last 10% of performance our of your hardware, ain't nobody got time for that.

Does anyone have insight into why Apple encrypts SEP firmware? Clearly it’s not critical to their security model so maybe just for IP protection?
I don’t think I can argue the full thing myself, but FWIW, they don’t see AT as a less-free counterpart. The general idea is that they’re offering OSS data that any host can consume, rather than a network of decentralized hosts. Kinda cleverly elegant, IMO!
Would be nice if Apple would expose an option to set the timer to a shorter window, but still great work.

When I looked into live donor liver transplant, there was a 2% donor fatality rate which seemed quite material. Due to relatively small sample sizes, it's difficult to know if this 2% fatality rate is representative today. But in any case, live donor liver transplant is not a low-risk operation.

WALA: AI convert sketches, images and text to 3D
Nice!

The key step of the derivation is counting the "number of ways" to get the histogram with bar heights L1, L2, ... Ln for a total of L observations.

I had to think a bit why the provided formula is true:

choose(L,L1) * choose(L-L1,L2) * ... * choose(Ln,Ln)

The story I came up with for the first term, is that in the sequence of lenght L, you need to choose L1 locations that will get the symbol x1, so there are choose(L,L1) ways to do that. Next you have L-L1 remaining spots to fill, and L2 of those need to have the symbol x2, hence the choose(L-L1,L2) term, etc.
I think it does. I've been interrupted more than once mid-flow while programming to recharge the battery. Or say, you're in the middle of a presentation. There are lots of mission-critical uses, which can't easily tolerate an interruption. You can't stop to recharge, and it's silly to compulsively check the battery, or carry multiple mice to avoid that situation.

When the system was new, there was a reasonable warning ahead of time on the battery level, but now the warning is not sufficient for a work around, and the mouse much be charged within a minute or two.

Normally I assume that privatization is always bad, but can you honestly look at Artemis, Orion, and the fucking Lunar Gateway and think, oh yes more of that please? Commercial space produced almost all successes of the past decade. (That said nationalizing Boeing might be an improvement, but then I’d worry about Lockheed buying America with America’s money.)
I always thought Windows (until 7) looked so lacking in polish around the edges compared to even the earliest versions of Macintosh system software -- especially during install, boot, crash, and shutdown. During boot, for example, even modern Windows boxes [correction: pre-EFI only] show a BIOS screen followed by a brief blinking cursor before the Windows graphics mode takes over. It was much worse in earlier versions.

The Macintosh screen never dropped you into a text-mode console, no matter what. Everything on the screen was graphics-mode, always -- and there weren't glaring design changes between system versions like in Windows (except at the Mac OS X introduction, which was entirely new).

Installing Macintosh system software onto a HDD was literally as easy as copying the System Folder. System installer programs did exist, but in principle all that was happening was optionally formatting the target drive and then copying System Folder contents. So simple. Of course there were problems and shortcomings, but the uncompromising design esthetic is noteworthy and admirable.

1. Making a new commit is not equivalent at all to reverting a commit. I'm a fan of failing forward too, but reverting the exact commit you know caused the issue implies you know exactly what the issue is, which is invariably good.

2. For the same reason that 'lets rewrite everything from scratch' generally is a bad idea.

5. Because deep down you know it doesn't make sense? Nobody will import your 'awesomeUtilityFunction' from the 'WaarghComponent' file, but they might if it's in a file/module called awesomeUtilities, or just plain awesomeUtilityFunction.

6. Designing an API via unit tests is the equivalent of a design session with a different whiteboard. I like how you complain about things not being well justified and then just claim that your own suggestion leads to better results without any motivation.

7. I think it should be fairly obvious that you only care about this if you _want_ to keep the implementations the same.

10. No good design is 'not easily testable'. Easily testable is a requirement for good design. In my experience, when someone makes this point they try to imply that when you bend yourself into corners to make your test work (as given in the example), you should stop doing that and instead look at better ways to abstract your dependencies (dependency injection, mockable utility functions, lambdas etc.).

You can't have it both ways. You can either own your data and secure it yourself or you can entrust it to someone else and hope they don't leak it (they will). A lot of the data is already stored in your computer anyways, such as your browser history.
Most of our car engines run at a small fraction of their capability, even when going at highway speeds. Most servers have a 15-25% utilization to handle failover situations. If you have a beefy as fuck set up with extra wide tolerance margins, things can last for a very long time. Car engines with a chamber that’s essentially containing explosions still end up running for decades with very little maintenance. Well, some longer than others. This is also true for consumer electronics/appliances. You still have things going just fine from almost a century ago. Yes, some things fail faster than others and the designers were aware of limitations and trade offs, but most components continue working. What would be wise in this case is to look at how the voyager was designed for reliability to understand why it hasn’t completely gone off the rails. Meaning, what are the common anpproaches and why do they fail, and why doesn’t the voyager fail. What does it do that’s different than the usual method. Lots to be learned there but I don’t think the people were wizards, they probably dealt with very brittle things and had tight specs and knew how to design certain parts to very close to perfect. The manufacturing of parts plays a huge role in reliability. If you know you can achieve better manufacturing output but it is a matter of cost, then that’s easy - government can pay whatever. But if you don’t know, then that’s a harder situation to be in and that’s guess work. But if you have a capacitor that’s normally 20% off rating that you’d buy in a store, and you know you can get it to be down to 1% off or even less from rating, then you go for that with everything you’ve got. And all parts are made with as wide of tolerance as you can get so that as they degrade, things can still work. Easier said than done, but there it is. Things will eventually break and not work. But for now, Voyager has bought time, quite literally.

> And most people don't do long trips every week

Most people don’t own multiple cars and wouldn’t rent a car for those rare use-cases when they already own a perfectly fine car. It may be overall cheaper to do that, but people don’t think that way.

One or two annual holiday roadtrips to go see the family and oops that EV starts looking like an annoying option. Every friend I have who doesn’t own a house and bought an EV ended up returning it because of how annoying the charging was to deal with.

It’s not that charging was _hard_, it’s that they had to think about it.

edit: this may be an urbanite take. Even folks with cars don’t really use them to commute regularly. Semi-rare trips only.
I think you're right about pendulums here, but we might be about to see a US auto maker vs China auto maker inflection point like I read about in the 1980s with US vs Japan.

* Short term vs long term focus
* .gov subsidies stronger in key markets in CN
* CN companies extremely rapid in development (as low as 1.5 yr vs 6 yr in the US)
* Lower wages and input costs

Things will probably have to get worse before they get worse. Corporate people know the machine (public traded US auto makers) keeps lumbering forward without change until it can't, and all handouts, bailouts, and other tricks have been played.

I don't think it actually reverted to real mode. I believe Win 95 continued with what they had done in Windows for Workgroups 3.11, which was the first Windows that required an 80386.

What that did is use DOS as a first stage boot loader, then switched into protected mode and created a v86 task which took over the state of DOS. The protected mode code than finished booting.

v86 mode was a mode for creating a virtual machine that looked like it was running on a real mode 8086 but was actually running in a virtual address space using the 80386 paging VM system.

When you ran DOS programs they ran in v86 mode. If a DOS program tried to make a BIOS call it was trapped and handled by the 32-bit protected mode code.

v86 mode tasks could be given the ability to directly issue I/O instructions to designated devices, so if you had a device that didn't have a 32-bit protected mode driver a DOS driver in a v86 task could be used.

For devices that did have a 32-bit protected mode they would not give v86 mode direct access. Instead they would trap on direct access attempts and handle those in 32-bit protected mode code.

I wish Linux had adopted a similar use of v86 mode. I spent a while on some Linux development mailing list trying to convince them to add a simplified version of that. Just virtualize the BIOS in a v86 task, and if you've got a disk that you don't have a native driver use that v86 virtualized BIOS to access the disk.

Eventually someone (I think it may have been Linus himself) told me to shut up and write the code if I wanted it.

My answer was I couldn't do that because none of my PCs could run Linux because there were no Linux drivers for my SCSI host adaptors. I wanted the feature so that I could run Linux in order to write drivers for my host adaptors.

OS/2 did the v86 virtualized BIOS thing, and that was how I was able to write OS/2 drivers for my SCSI host adaptors.

I learned functions in terms of sets. Domain and codomain are sets. Function is a set of ordered pairs between them.

How could we go the other way? A set can be "defined" by the predicate that tests membership, but then how do we model the predicates? Some formalism like the lambda calculus?

In GrapheneOS, you can set it to as little as 10 minutes, with the default being 18 hours. That would be a lot more effective for this type of data exfiltration scenario.
Just to pick some nits with those claims… CPUs do have hardware support for functions in the form of a stack and CALL/RET instructions. Functions are a useful abstraction since more or less all software uses them. Functions and functional languages are two related but different things, and the usefulness of functions as an abstraction doesn’t depend on whether functional languages have taken off. And last, I’d say functional languages have gained ground over time, as well as semi-functional languages like, say, Python and JavaScript. Even C++ is gaining more functional language features over time.
I'm hoping for manufacturers to pull back on the "all controls are via touchscreen" and "you can't have carplay because we want to charge you our own monthly fees" trends.

Taking Chevy for example, they have physical HVAC controls, but they're counting on the average consumer being too clueless to realize they only have Google Maps in their car because it came with a free OnStar trial. Eventually people are going to notice that they spent $1000+ to buy the larger screen upgrade, and now Chevy wants them to shell out $300/year forever to be able to use it for maps.

The other big unknown is lifespan of car software platforms, if these end up being like phones where they get laggier and laggier with continued software updates, until eventually it's unusable, people aren't going to be happy about it. But we won't know for 15 years exactly how bad that problem is.
> Reboot is not enforced by the SEP, though, only requested. It’s a kernel module, which means if a kernel exploit is found, this could be stopped.

True. I wonder if they've considered the SEP taking a more active role in filesystem decryption. If the kernel had to be reauthenticated periodically (think oauth's refresh token) maybe SEP could stop data exfiltration after the expiry even without a reboot.

Maybe it would be too much of a bottleneck; interesting to think about though.

>During boot, for example, even modern Windows boxes show a BIOS screen followed by a brief blinking cursor before the Windows graphics mode takes over.

This hasn't really been the case for more than 10 years now. EFI based systems will boot without changing display modes. Some hobby custom PCs might have compatibility modes enabled, but any laptop or prebult system is going to go from logo to login without flickering.
You could get 10 year olds to make these calls for you and there would be no legal repercussions.

I am Canadian, but it also applies to other governments (including the US). The politicians know that it's not going to be easy to do the actual right thing and build up a competitive industry. Instead, it's much easier to just slap some tariffs and make lagging productivity the next generation's problem.
