C pointer arithmetics is a copy-cat of the PDP-11 Assembler’s addressing modes[1]

So it was either inspired or designed for PDP-11, making it cross-platform was afterthought.

It wasn’t designed from the first principles, and it’s unable to express different, newer, and/or more advanced low-level features.

> there is no way to ensure code written today will work exactly as expected 20 years down the road

It’s possible with a language where you specify computations in a declarative way, instead of using increments/decrements, pointer arithmetics, branching and loops.

> I’m assuming that when he just did the 2-click thing the operator told him to do on his phone, the Waymo probably stopped and let him out

That's not really good though. It is not his job to fix the car. His protestation that the operator should do it, whatever "it" is, is a reasonable one.
Occasionally throw in a surprising ending.

A friend infrequently would end lackluster stories, those where he'd lost the conversational baton, with "...and then I found $20."

Anyone who had never heard the trick immediately perked up and refocused their attention on him. He'd say, "No, not really" then briefly contribute something more to the conversation before yielding.

Everyone who knew the trick knew to wait for the ending, because one could never assume his story endings anymore.
Presumably opening the door would stop it? I would hope that would be something they thought about and do not lock the passengers in...
Microsoft don't give a rat's ass about operating systems since ages, and their policy on no more Windows 10 updates this year will finally push me to Linux (probs ElementaryOS) after a lifetime on DOS/Windows.

Visual Studio is also full of AI/Copilot junk now, and I've basically just had enough of their "not now" / "ask me again later please, I am a sucker" options when I really want "be ashamed for asking and never ask me again", all the user-hostile shit they pull... enough is enough.
They'd also have to start speaking at the same time and have similar voices to make it tricky
I think you could argue that competition indeed makes the market efficient, but that we shouldn't conflate that with capitalism itself. Capitalism, in my opinion, can at times prevent competition due to the required capital investment to compete. E.g. even OpenAI with their golden bullet couldn't get there without the capital investments from big tech? Might be wrong here of course.
Knew I wouldn't have to scroll far to find the link to this video.

I'm genuinely worried for the future if we keep going down this path. And all the hard work by urbanists will be undone.

NJB radicalised me, in the best way possible.
It doesn't seem like this challenges anything but the market for gaming devices (not general purpose PCs). Is that correct? And if so, is the title ("terrified") a little overblown?
I heard that some EVs have enough torque to overcome brake friction if it really goes all out. Anyone knows is that true?
This always gets the pearl-clutchers out of the woodwork - you're gathering a few hundred of the world's fittest people in peak performance mode in the same place for a few weeks, giving most of them a huge amount of downtime, what do you THINK is going to happen? (This is the general 'you', not YOU)

Providing free access to make sure things are happening safely is not what's 'encouraging the behaviour' here :D
They should also sell the dusty drawer it’ll end up in.
This has to be pretty rare for Waymo? I haven't heard too many horror stories
NIST is involved (Dual_EC_DRBG).

Verdict: nope.

This is something that an independent, international cybersecurity nonprofit should be in-charge of, not a standards org that shills for what we think may have been the NSA (BULLRUN).
The knowledge is already preserved. It's about keeping the muscles fit.
In the Middle Ages, when Internet access wasn't in your pocket all the time, I was in a hostel which had Internet kiosks, you'd put a coin in a machine, and the PC would start 2 browser windows: 1 with just a countdown, and one for you to browse. You'd have to put more coins or when the time ends the browser would be killed.

Of course there was nothing else in the UI except this window and the browser, but on ancient Firefox, in the print window you had the option to specify the command line to print. I tried "xterm", hit "Print", and voila, a prompt!

Using ps, I managed to figure out the difference between the unpaid browser and the paid one, and next time around I could launch a browsing session without payment...
I tried to switch to Linux a few times over a couple of years but had a hard time switching from Windows to Linux until I found a replacement for Visual Studio (non-VSCode), which I replaced with VSCode on Linux. Aside from a few games that wouldn't work for any reason (Kernel level anticheat, WINE bugs, manually setting export env variables) it's been great. Being a tinkerer/developer I wonder whether this made it harder or easier to switch, you have more knowledge of how to fix things but the same amount of time as everyone else and if you don't depend on specific programs / workflow like using a browser you may be able make the jump to Linux easier.
Do you not pay for the energy you use?
Maybe, but we're not quite there yet - Valve still restricting the OS to their hardware. Come back when people who build their own gamer PCs start choosing SteamOS en masse. That's then the start point of a movement away from Windows.

I agree that the 10/11 migration has been an infuriating experience for a lot of users. A Microsoft unforced error, seemingly in the name of insisting on forcing TPM on people.
This is a nightmare of a situation.

It's true that it's probably over in a short time, but that is easily a stressful enough situation to cause people to have panic attacks, heart attacks, and have a range of other issues.

I would almost argue that it's negligent of Waymo to not have a kill switch they can remotely fire, and then another layer of kill switch, and then another 5 layers of kill switches...

You can't fail to control a driverless car under any circumstance.
Waymo rider support seems to be overly limited in their abilities.

Requiring the user to press buttons on an app, and not being able to do it for them is just one example. Plenty of other videos show they can't control the car, and all they can do is talk to the user.

At a minimum, they should have the ability to stop the car and drive it, remote control, at 1 mph, to get it unstuck or out of the way.
Another example of this was chess with Bobby Fischer. Before Fischer there was minimal interest in chess on the US. But he caused a 3000%+ increase in membership of the US Chess Federation, to say nothing of casual players, and is largely responsible for the growth of chess in the US.
Are you perfectly rational and calm when trapped in a malfunctioning vehicle that could harm you on a whim? I feel it's unfair to judge this person sitting relaxed in front of a computer.
> I got into a lot of trouble once for pulling the emergency stop cord on a train when I was young.

You are the hero of every young child that has ever been on a train and wondered what would happen when they pulled that cord. I know that certainly was a dream of mine when I was four or so. I couldn't understand why my dad was so insistent I not try it.
You’re assuming that the subtitle user can hear the voice track here.
That is unfortunate for them. But let me tell you how amazing our landfill is. To me, it exemplifies the best of America. It’s so clean and organized, run by orderly, polite, and helpful people. Every time I have to throw out some bulky items, the experience gives me confidence in our local government. My parents, who grew up in Bangladesh, are also amazed by it. Our local county clerk’s office is amazing too. I needed to get one of my kid’s birth certificates reprinted. I went down the street, to the basement of some sober and cost-effective building that was built in the 1980s, and had a new copy in 20 minutes.

I grew up in northern VA in the 1990s and I thought that the whole of America (besides NYC obviously) was like that. Super clean, orderly, and efficient. Then I lived in Wilmington Delaware, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and DC, and it reminded me too much of the third world.
Well the pool code fails to use char* type to write inside block of memory.

If you look at 'pool_free' code you can see that it receives used block from user as 'ptr' then casts it to 'Chunk pointer' and writes to into Chunk member value of type 'Chunk pointer'. I had to change that line to memcpy when I did it last time around 15 years ago in C++ with GCC 4.something. In short if you are writing your own allocators you need either to disable strict aliasing like Linux does or do the dance of 'memcpy' when you access memory as 'internal allocator structures' right after it was used as user type. When it happened to me write was reordered and I observed code that writes into Chunk* next executed first and write of zeros into user type second.
Something I really envy Japan for is how quick and cheap food is available everywhere. You can be in and out of a ramen restaurant in 15 minutes. If you don’t want that you can grab a handful of onigiri from 7/11 for a few bucks and be full after eating them.

Maybe it signals my privilege, but I don’t want to think about food or prepare food. When I’m hungry, I want a quick solution so I can get back to whatever it is I’m doing. Preferably a cheap one.
> (you can't just square amounts of money, just consider how it would work if you changed currency: $8 is 1260¥, squares it makes it 1587000¥ which is $10k != $64)

What can you square then? For example, can you square lengths? E.g. 1km is 1000m, what is its square?

Sure, but there’s a lot more in it; like a power supply.
Is this remote for people outside of Canada well, or would you be open to visa sponsorship? I believe I am a fit but am not in Canada.

You could always tug the steering wheel. That's supposed to stop it.
They’re probably comparing like items—so maybe a decent mid-range tv is the same price, but the same tv would be much cheaper. I paid $1k for a decent tv in 2009, and then bought a new decent tv this year for the same $1k, but it’s a much nicer tv than before.

But I agree with you about the essential meaningless of that number. People buy a tv every X years (for me 15, apparently), but they buy food almost every day.
> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

I obviously don't think the person I'm responding to works at Waymo. The person I'm responding to is making a baseless claim that this is a manufactured issue. How do you degrade a discussion that starts at the lowest possible place when the claim is "the vibes are off"
I wouldn't assume anything about a modern system
Sincerely hope that more people in this forum watches it. Since we are at the epicenter of it.
> What about a language where for any given bit of code, the dynamicness is only a phase of compilation?

This is (essentially) Crystal lang's type system. You end up with semantic analysis/compilation taking a significant amount of time, longer than other comparable languages, and using a lot of resources to do so.
Rational or not? This basic math question took decades to answer
Structural violence[1] and institutional violence has been concepts in academia for ages, even if you don't like it.

By your strict definition of violence (direct harm) Hitler would walk free because he didn't personally gass the jews. Luckily we had trials[2] to determine that we still hold indirect perpetrators responsible.

While the most precise naming might be "a singly linked list representation of a stack", "free list" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_list) is an ancient term of art for this problem.. so much so that wikipedia (at least the version today) even suggests "freelist" all one word as a spelling.

The initial linking together of all free space (also cache friendly, btw) is often called "threading the free list", although this terminology is less standard than "free list" itself.
I don’t disagree. I’m a dad of girls too and things are better for them today as long as we can hold off the idiots who want to LARP The Handmaid’s Tale.

But that kind of intersects with my next point. There is this vast number of basically hikikomori out there, not to mention lots of mostly boys with very screwed up images of sex from early and uncritical consumption of porn and “masculinity” grifter bullshit. It’s from among these groups that every sort of toxic authoritarian movement is drawing its support.

There’s a lot more unhealthy antisocial stuff out there, and overall I think it’s worse. It’s become more extreme. There isn’t a middle. Young people are either healthy today or they are fucked.

Anecdote: I purchased a Samsung 46” mid-range DLP (rear projection) TV in 2005 for $2500. It was 720p and had one hdmi port. IIRC there were some plasma and perhaps early LCDs available for 2-3x the cost or more. So, I’d say the cost has gone down by at least 90%, if not more.
I am from EU and we have been getting a lot of things much later and having to use VPNs to get past this.

I appreciate we have to defend the driving system and nobody was harmed. But for every such mishap the reminder should be that this has to be fixed only once.
An official RaspberryPi 5 PSU is akin to a 27W mini brick which doesn't block any adjacent sockets on a power strip. However, the power bricks came with my N100 systems are similar size to 60-80W MacBook power bricks, they're way bigger, even if they're not significantly more powerful.

No, N100 systems do not contain their power supplies in the box. They're external.

Right, but imagine that with cars not TVs. To show the cost change of a car from 2000 to 2020 I wouldn't show the cost of a 2000-quality car in 2020. I'd show the actual median cost of a car in 2020.

I bought 3 TVs in the last 15 or so years. Each time I spent less than the last and got a much better (and lighter!!) tv.

Before that I couldn't afford a TV and had a used 13 inch tube TV someone gave me.

I know it was nearly 2 decades ago, but in 2006 or 2007 my siblings camped out at Best Buy all night to buy laptops for $300.

We use Google Meet and this is one of the big things I miss from Zoom, there appears to be no way to turn the self view off. On every call I have to turn it off manually.

I find that a lot of people who say they turn their camera off say they do it because they don't like watching themselves on screen, and don't realise this is optional. Personally I think all the video call systems should turn it off by default, I've never understood what purpose seeing yourself all the time is supposed to have. It would be like having a meeting room full of mirrors.
> Waymo rider support seems to be overly limited in their abilities.

Yep. Like virtually every phone support person ever. You would think that with driverless cars this would be different.
My account was locked for deleting my own comments. I sent them a GDPR request to delete my comments. They ignored it. I posted on meta asking if they followed GDPR. It was deleted and I was banned from meta.
I have an Orange Pi 5 16G, which was a lot more powerful than an RPi4, and more available when I purchased it. I generally like it. It does the headless server things I'm looking for, but it has had a few quirks over time. Distro support isn't great but Armbian runs well.

For the price, and what I use, I would probably buy a mini PC at this point.

In general, with boards that aren't Raspberry Pi, always focus on the now, and not the things it should be able to do later. Often they're stuck on a kernel with whatever patches they run at release. Sometimes the community fixes that, but not always.
So by pixel math alone, a 4K TV of equivalent size gets you 8x TV these days. :P
That's incorrect, where did you pick it up?

You can install SteamOS on any machine, but AMD GPU are somewhat required if you're not up to major tinkering. Valve does not officially support NVIDIA gpus atm; they are working on it.

Here's a video from Linus Tech Tips on how to do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdR-bxvQKN8 .
What people here don't seem to realize very much is that fundamentally, every system depends on people actually doing things. That can be following the rules, that can be enforcing the rules, that can be just being helpful or polite or willing to help others.

As demonstrated by a lot of dictators, when people fail, no amount of laws, no matter how clever will protect the state. Every generation again, young people believe differently. The "overwhelming force" of the law is just people. People that can be convinced to ignore or violate the law.

I would argue that these days the police ignoring the law (due to lack of personnel and funds) is on full display in almost 100% of the world, though some places are worse than others.
It appears so.

Steam OS, at least in the form that exists on my Deck, is not suitable for general purpose. True, it has a desktop environment, but it's "jailed" - of course with an option to jail break it, but anything you do outside of the user space is subject to being wiped the next time you get an OTA update.

Then again, OTA updates are necessarily only a thing on the Deck and I suppose this wouldn't be a problem on the Steam OS distribution available for installing on other hardware.

Most houses in the US are made of wood. In Los Angeles they often have tile/concrete roofs, but I've read that in a situation like this the problem is the vents under the edge of the roof that lead into the attic: if anything burning gets through there, the house is toast.

Source: used to live in a Los Angeles hilly suburb. If the fires get to where I used to live, that house will definitely burn despite having a cement tile roof.
Funny how "not getting paid" went from being a requirement [1] to being a scandal.

Maybe, the government could make an agency that will employ them all and pay them a wage. Of course, it would only be fair that, if all the downside is taken up by the agency, then it will also get all the upside. Meaning: If any agency athlete starts raking in millions in sponsorship deals, then those millions will go to the agency, and the athlete will keep getting no more than their salary.

Or is "privatize profits, socialize losses" the place where entitlement culture is actually at, right now?

One problem is if you are on a freeway, you can't just stop.

While I agree with you on principle, it's a hard problem to solve.
Why would you want more decisions to be moved up to the state level, where officials will be elected by a low-information statewide electorate, instead of a local level, where there’s at least hope of an informed electorate that’ll hold the government accountable? That’s certainly been my experience living in a well-run county in Maryland.

This guy is my county executive: https://www.aacounty.org/pittmanandfriends. I trust him to make sure our trash gets picked up on time and to keep the community safe. I certainly don’t trust the Maryland government to do that.
Adolf Hitler was a law-abiding citizen who never harmed a fly. He just changed the laws to make his actions legal and got other people to commit the holocaust on his behalf. So yeah, the fact that someone follows the law is meaningless. Sometimes the law is bad. Sometimes really really bad.

German people still have this mentality btw - that if you follow the law you are good. They think since the Holocaust is no longer the law and the constitution says there shall never be another one, that means they are safe.
