I worked on embedded code in the early 2000s using 16-bit DSPs. Texas Instruments C54x if I remember right.

Not being byte-addressable was a real pain. There was a C compiler, but off-the-shelf C code hardly ever worked properly because everyone assumes CHAR_BIT is 8.
There's a whole bunch of stuff happening that collectively hurts the German economy:

- German economy is heavy on manufacturing: Part of their success was cheap raw materials (oil, gas, etc.) from Russia. That edge has disappeared thanks to the war in Ukraine.

- More competition from China: China is moving up the value chain in manufacturing, competing with Germany in previous strongholds. Lowers margins for lots of German companies.

- At the same time subdued demand from China itself: A large part of growth - esp. in the automotive section - came from China. Domestic manufacturers of EVs have now better offers than Germany, meaning it's losing market share.

- Misguided energy politics: With an unnecessary exit from Nuclear energy (German nuclear power plants were among the most reliable ones). Driving up energy costs just at the moment when gas is already in short supply due to sanctions on Russia.

Will any new Government fix all these issues? Unlikely, they are structurally too deeply a part of the German economic model that a new Gov. could change them (except for restarting Nuclear power plants - but that seems unlikely atm).
And they are going to continue to be stupid going forward as well :(
The one feature that I love is the Reduce Interruptions focus, which I now keep on all the time. Previous approaches like simply blocking notifications for most apps doesn't work, because some critical apps (like my Uber equivalent) also send spam notifications. The Reduce Interruptions focus quite accurately manages to hide unimportant notifications without me having to block everything.

Except this isn't generative AI, this is old-school machine learning classification which PG wrote about like 20 years ago.
It’s a spectrum. Some places are more free than others, and we’re as far toward the free end of the spectrum as anyone unless you count places where the government has totally collapsed. I suppose there are anarchies somewhere but they’re never stable.

You can say “land of the free my ass” every time a law prevents you from doing something you want, but that doesn’t mean other places have more freedom.
I might be one of these people. I don't have to pick #2 or #3, but I will give them a thorough reviewing as I will critically for #1. Sometimes I just want something different for the sake of it, but I want it to at least do the job reasonably well. Something about a fork in the road and taking the one less travelled by...

Since that can often mean extra effort/support, I won't recommend such things to others. I'll try to pick something that will be the least trouble for them.
On the Steam Hardware Survey the average gamer uses a computer with a 1080p display too. That doesn't somehow make any gaming laptop with a 2k screen sold in the last half decade a non-consumer product. For that matter the average gaming PC on Steam is even above average relative to the average computer. The typical office computer or school Chromebook is likely several generations older doesn't have an NPU or discrete GPU at all.

For AI and LLMs, I'm not aware of any company even selling the models assets directly to consumers, they're either completely unavailable (OpenAI) or freely licensed so the companies training them aren't really dependent what the average person has for commercial success.
The only 9-per cycle I could find was skymont(e-core), which is really 3x3-wide clusters. Lion cove (p-core) claims 8-wide (unclear if sequential or multiple clusters), and zen 5 is 2x4-wide. In contrast M1 had a true 8-wide decoder and M4 has a 10-wide decoder.

My understanding is that on x86 the complexity increases super linearly with decode width because of variable length instructions, while on fixed width architectures (or even a couple of sizes like arm thumb or risc-v compressed) it’s basically linear complexity.

This chips and cheese article seems to back this up.

Particularly interesting that quality seems to be dropping in an age where reviews are easier to find than ever.

But there has always been an inherent conflict of interest in the place selling the wares (e.g. Amazon) also being the place hosting the reviews. Similarly for AirBNB - it cannot tolerate all of its own hosts being 2 stars.

They are in the attic at the moment, but they are all fairly old books (and terse, dry, basic formatting/illustration), seemingly from a period in time when infitesimals were apparently more popular.

There are a few similar ones on IA, e.g.

https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.148501/page/n8...

On that page the 'h' term is the infitesimal, as in

d(x^2) / dx = 2x + h

Though I prefer something like 'Δx' to make the link to x more explicit. Would love to see a more modern book on the topic.

> 4G doesn't even have a proper voice call support, and substitutes that with a carrier grade Discord type thing called VoLTE(oversimplification).

That "carrier grade Discord type thing" is more or less standard SIP VoIP, just over a prioritized data channel similar to how DOCSIS has PacketCable which is more or less MGCP VoIP over a prioritized data channel.

It's absolutely proper voice call support, the majority of calls you make or receive in 2024 have been connected over SIP at some point along the path.

> Zero chance old firmware could work.

The sorts of modules like the author was proposing using can be interacted with over relatively standard AT commands, so it's actually plausible that if there were a separate application processor it might be able to perform basic functions like placing/receiving calls without any firmware changes. The module handles all the VoLTE stuff and just exposes it as if it were any other modem.

That said it's not uncommon for "dumbphone" type applications to run the application code on the baseband processor, in which case obviously it's incredibly unlikely that this new module is even a related family of processor, much less compatible with existing code.
> A sponge drying up in your kitchen sink is enough to raise your kitchen's air humidity by 10%.

That's simply not correct.

I go through liters of water a day with my two humidifiers just to try to raise humidity by around 20 percentage points. In a small urban apartment that isn't much bigger than some people's whole suburban kitchens.

A damp sponge isn't going to do a thing, and I can't imagine where you would ever have gotten the idea that it would.

Moisture is not the primary reason for ventilation, except above showers -- it's to prevent CO2 buildup along with other toxic gases like CO and VOC's.
The "what" can be anything that brings the money these days.

At companies where the average worker is less intelligent than the mean author of the mean piece of online content used in an LLM's training set, the output from the LLM might be more clever or more well-written than what the average worker at that org would generate themself.

"It's all just code, how hard can it be, and your NDAs don't apply" is certainly a take, but some people do actually solve problems whose solutions aren't already on the Internet and are forbidden from exfiltrating code! The fact that you don't solve such problems and are not bound by such NDAs is not a huge piece of evidence, to be honest.

Can you imagine even in principle a piece of evidence that would convince you otherwise?

Disagree. In a parliamentary system, the executive roles (e.g. prime minister and his cabinet) all come from parliament - there is not the same separation of executive branch and legislative branch like there is in the American system. So when no party or coalition in parliament has a majority, there is essentially no "executive branch" and new elections must be called.

In the US, again that can't happen because the executive branch is fully separate, and even within Congress it rarely happens because we only have 2 major parties. So the situation where the House couldn't elect a Speaker due to the problems cobbling up a majority vote, which then froze any other work the House could do, is most analogous in my opinion. Debt limit standoffs are a completely separate process, and the impacts they have are nothing like what happens in a parliamentary country when a government can't be formed.
If Harris had won, we would be hearing about how Big Tech enabled the "Greatest Show on Earth", the "Voice of the People" and things like that.

This is a thought-provoking essay by Dan Luu, whose essays I always find thought-provoking.

I'm surprised Dan didn't make the connection that the webs of mistrust between fiefdoms that form inside organizations as they grow are... Nash equilibria.[a]

Organizational webs of mistrust are nothing more than complicated versions of the Prisoner's Dilemma.[b]

Unless you have a CEO actively enforcing trust and collaboration, different fiefdoms naturally evolve behaviors that ensure they can survive and thrive in the face of possible betrayal by any other untrustworthy fiefdoms in the organization. We see similar behavior in natural ecosystems, which tend to evolve toward suboptimal equilibria that is robust to betrayal between groups, instead of global optima that requires perpetual honesty between them.[c] In many settings, robustness against betrayal is an evolutionary advantage.

> One easy test is how they feel about sustained high profits. To people who value markets for their ability to drive improvements through competition, that's a sign of something wrong, like insufficient price competition.

We'd need more context. Those sustained profits are "money on the table". There may be real advantages to the company earning them, like sustained innovation or other quality, that others have trouble competing with. But if those profits are coincident with lots of lobbying and various shenanigans (controversially maybe including patents and copyright)... you'll get more sympathy.
we need startup mentality and efficiency in the governmental structures that are built for redistributing valuable resources in a system that exists in opposition to the outside world. Competition still does exists and we have internal and external dangerous forces that might make human life on the planet uncomfortable. To prevent this sudden wake up call to the broader society we must engineer incentives that will make the society slightly feeling the urge to do something productive that brings value. This force will be embedded into the economic model and will keep propagating further. Bringing a more just efficient and lean government that is working purely for the society's greater good.
I've been rolling my own stuff, mostly devices posting to custom python servers, storing data into influxdb and mongodb, triggering other servers on events, and lately also integrating Tasmota devices via MQTT, like the microwave, washing machine, computer monitors, small heating fans and the like. I migrated all Hue devices to zigbee2mqtt and am happy with the flexibility.

Initially (7 years ago?) I refused to use HA because I've all too often had the issue that then projects become stale and I need to migrate to something else.

But lately I've gotten the feeling that HA is really here to stay, with a community big enough for this project not to die and maintaining very good hardware support.

What I'm missing out on is an (Android) app, and I think that this would be a good reason to think about moving over to HA.
What is your definition of bloated? My note-taking app (with animations) binary is around 89MB[1][2]. And this is without statically linking it, using `-optimize-size` and `-ltcg` flags and running `strip` and `UXP` on it which should make it even smaller.

That doesn't sound right...? Credit/debit card chargebacks are handled by the bank. If the merchant doesn't pick up the phone, the bank will take the money from the merchant and return it to the customer.

Hmh, this notion is quite widespread, but it is not reflected by reality. Especially the Green ministry of economy significantly reduced red tape across the board, esp. with regards to large-scale infrastructure projects, i.e. projects of the Energiewende. Just take a look at BImschG V10 or the new NABEG.

I'm an entrepreneur myself and there is still a lot of red tape I'd rather get rid off, but the last four years saw a lot of movement and were really good in this regard. If anything I would hope that any new government keeps up the pace!

> Down votes are interesting when applied to a comment that's an answer to a direct question.

I suspect it's because your answer was indirect and had a fairly proselytizing tone. I found the information interesting, but it was a somewhat irritating read because it was inverted to demand attention, like a story, rather than being upfront. A better-received comment might have read more like:

"I used Clojure. This was mainly because it's my favorite language, so I could work faster in it, and because it has certain features which make debugging extremely fast. et cetera."
That's the future I chose about a decade ago and I'm as happy as a clam. The technical reality of my future is an oldish computer hooked up to a projector with some wireless keyboards and mice that bounce around to control it and the ability to steam stream onto it if I want to use it for gaming.

It'd be nice if there was an actual competitive market for those sweet high res OLED screens without all the software and firmware junk - just give me a display-port/whatever and let me do my own thing. I've encountered newer brands of smart TVs in airbnbs and the like and one thing I have zero patience for is a TV that needs time to boot up. It's a display device I should push button and it should be on before my brain realizes the button was pushed.
If this stuff is getting sold as a revolution in information work, or a watershed moment in technology, or as a cultural step-change, etc, then I think the gotcha is totally fair. There seems to be no limit to the hype or sales pitch. So there need be no bounds for pedantic gotchas either.
