I’m gonna take this opportunity to clarify a comment I wrote earlier this week: Sure, polling may be difficult to interpret when uncertainty is high and margins are small, but there are many elections every year that are easily predictable blowouts, but which are often not portrayed that way depending on your information diet.

Like, I can’t count the number of times someone will show me an awesome political ad for an awesome person who’s going up against an awful politician I hate, and there’ll be all this hope and the person showing me the ad will be thinking this person has a chance of winning. And then I’ll look at the polling and realize they’re down by 20 points in a state Trump carried by 30 and the error bars are only 3 points in each direction.

So even if polling close races can get messy, polling overall provides an extremely powerful antidote to a lot of propaganda and echo-chamber thinking.
This is one example. Off the top of my head std.array vs "naked" C arrays, string vs const char*, and let's not forget RAII are all features that just make me never want to work with vanilla C ever again.
It was both, tbh. These commands would be usable in some attacks against a “trusted” esp32 implementation.

It’s something they probably should allow developers to disable but it’s also being WILDLY overstated by clout seekers.

You can, from some angles, call this a security flaw or issue. Anyone calling it a backdoor - a term with a specific meaning intentional secret access - is being irresponsible imho

Some Irish Protestants were descendants of recent immigrants from Britain, others were descendants of Irish converts from Catholicism.

Consider for example, Edmund Burke (the famous conservative philosopher) - he was born in Ireland to a Roman Catholic mother and a Church of Ireland father; his parents raised him Anglican and his sister Catholic - this was not an uncommon compromise for middle class Irish families of the time, discriminatory laws limiting career and education opportunities for Catholics largely didn’t apply to women who were excluded from careers and higher education irrespective of their faith. It is unclear whether or not his father, a lawyer (at a time when Catholics weren’t allowed to practice law) had converted from Catholicism, or if one of his ancestors had - but given Burke’s paternal line came from an old Hiberno-Norman family, descendants of the 12th century English invaders who over the following centuries assimilated to a Gaelic identity, it is obvious that one of his patrilineal ancestors must have switched from Catholicism to Protestantism at some point.

You can't retrofit this onto biblical commands to love everyone equally. The Paradox demands nothing, and certainly doesn't have primacy over core religious tenets.
> Trump won the popular vote by 1.5%. That's the 8th closest election in all of US history.

You're kind of glossing over the fact that a Republican hasn't won the popular vote since 1988 and the prevailing wisdom was that the EC was the _only_ thing giving Republican candidates a fighting chance in presidential elections (so much so that every election we hear much wailing and gnashing of teeth that the EC system should replaced by popular vote, and in fact there is an "electoral vote compact" that several states have entered into that pledges to give all electoral votes to the popular vote winner as a way to nullify the EC). For Trump, with his MANY issues, to win the _popular vote_ by 1.5% is monumental, and I guarantee you not a single model predicted that in any way whatsoever.

You put a Nikki Haley up there and she would've won the popular vote by 5-10%, easily. Which would be astounding numbers for a Republican candidate in this day and age.

Essentially the government forces you into a contract that you have no say in that is totally not a tax. Because as a tax it would be illegal, so it can't be one.
In my company, it's somewhat common to use "SO:" at the front of the subject, meaning "Subject only". This would address your point about MUAs truncating the subject and work just as well.

Maybe it would be helpful to put "SO means 'subject only'" or something in the body, which could be automated, to further decrease confusion.

You can do that already with many open source tools, disabling federation from those using activity pub and blocking new sign ups once the user number has reached you desired limit.

The reality is things do not work like that, even to maintain a small community forum you need a small but constant influx of new users as people regularly just disappear/leave as in any social group.

The real challenge is to let decent human people join without the trolls, bots and scammers.

Yea, duh.

The more your decisions affect the company, the more you’re compensated.

It’s why C-suite commands the biggest salaries.

It’s another reason why orgs are so low trust.
I think it's a bit more complicated than you make it sound. I live in California, so of course all my state's electoral votes went to Harris. I could have not bothered to vote, but the problem is that if everyone like me were to think the same way, those electoral votes could go to someone else.

So yes, in a literal, technical sense, my vote counted. But in reality, my vote had little to do with the outcome, whereas the votes of someone in Pennsylvania or Arizona had everything to do with the outcome. Those seven states absolutely did decide the election.

I do think that tallying the overall popular vote is a useful metric, even if the election's outcome doesn't depend on it, so I guess in that sense my vote "counted" as well.
Satellite guided approaches are used when there is no visibility, so I don't know how that would help. You could use terrain-matching radar for navigation, but that would require additional equipment on the airplane. Every plane already has GNSS receivers, so implementing RNAV is basically a software feature.
Excerpt from the actual review document (Health NZ Financial Management Review, [0]):

Notably, one major issue was through a significant reliance on the use of an Excel file to manage the consolidated financials of the organisation. This spreadsheet was the primary data file used by HNZ to manage its financial performance. It consolidated files from each district into a single spreadsheet, and key reports, such as the monthly finance report, were produced from it. The use of an Excel spreadsheet file to track and report financial performance for a $28bn expenditure organisation raises significant concerns, particularly when other more appropriate systems are present on the IT landscape.

This Excel file is flawed in that:

• Financial information was often 'hard-coded,' making it difficult to trace to
the source or have updated data flow through.

• Errors such as incorrectly releasing accruals or double-up releases were not
picked up until following periods.

• Changes to prior periods and FTE errors in district financial reporting Excel
submissions, would not flow through to consolidated file.

• The spreadsheet can be easy to manipulate information as there is limited
tracking to source information where information is not flowing directly from
accounting systems.

• It is highly prone to human error, such as accidental typing of a number or
omission of a zero.

Ask HN: How Is AI SEO (Geo) Different from SEO?
We've recently started to think more seriously about SEO as a growth channel.

Since we're already getting multiple leads that self-attribute to AI tools like Perplexity and ChatGPT, we want to optimize for more of this. There are now tools that offer to help you do SEO for AI (GEO, generative engine optimization).

But what I'm wondering about is this:

Both ChatGPT and Perplexity ultimately use Google's or Bing's search index, which makes me think optimizing for conventional search engines is the way to go because it achieves the same thing?

The two differences I can imagine are this:

a) For non-search AI chats, getting included in the training data could be another objective, though the corpus of training data will ultimately surface the incumbents in any space.

b) An AI search product might use different queries that humans don't actually search for much (so there's little search volume), so optimizing for them could be more useful than before.

Have any of you made other experiences or know more?
> Don't think Pi 5 can run 'supervisor code' (in old ARM language) in 32-bit mode, so RISC OS surely won't run.

The RISC OS folks are well aware of the issue.

There are discussions about what to do underway.

One idea that I sort of like is a tiny sort of hypervisor in Arm64 code, that runs an Arm32 "VM". Then RISC OS executes in the VM.

It's not fully native, no, but with the speeds involved, it would be usable.

There is a lot of prior art for this approach:

1. RISC OS already faced a 24-bit to 32-bit migration, and one bit of the legacy of that is an emulator for running 24-bit RISC OS apps on 32-bit RISC OS, called Aemulor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aemulor

2. There is of course a whole industry running x86 PC emulators on x86 PCs. The one that started it is called VMware and it did quite well.

But others copied it: e.g. Connectix ported VirtualPC from Classic PowerPC MacOS to Windows. I interviewed the company's founder and chief scientist Jonathan Garber.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webcam#Early_development_(earl...

At that time, x86 didn't do hardware virtualisation. So, VMware just used a software emulation for ring 0 code. Garber told me that once he saw how VMware did it, he realised Connectix could do that, too. He then told that it was much easier than running x86 code on PowerPC. With a grin he said that it was not only easier, the performance was excellent: the instruction sets were a _really_ close match. ;-) So the emulator was very nearly achieving 1:1 code density: one instruction for one emulated operation.

3. When Apple moved Classic MacOS from 680x0 to PowerPC, it did it using a tiny "nanokernel" containing a 68K-to-POWER ISA emulator.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_nanokernel

Are you sure? Having lived all across the country (and currently in Mumbai), I haven't seen any progress on that part since at least the last half decade.

The "Swacch Bharat" campaign that was launched more than a decade ago only gave some short-lived upgrades to public places.
You may claim that this is the purpose of religion, but religious texts have MANY more things to say than this message. For example, where in all of your nice description does the prohibition against eating pork but not beef fit in? Where does the prohibition against same-sex love fit into the universal compassion? Where does the stoning of jews who don't observe the Sabbath fit in?

And these are just some of the major laws of Judaism and Christianity that I'm most familiar with. Similar prohibitions and encouragements can be found in a leach and every religious practice on Earth, and they have literally 0 to do with universal love. So why believe that religion is all about universal love when religious practices insist on so many other things?
> Excel is the wrong tool for such tasks

From what little information there is in the article, it sounds like lack of process was equally to blame as using Excel.

(Not that I would suggest using Excel, personally - I'd go with a small database and a simple web UI but then I'm not a Corporate Consultant looking to charge ££££ per day to faff around for 5 years and then abandon the project.)
Like everything in C++, it has it's share of footguns

if (Foo* f = GetPtr(); f->HasValue()) {} // wrong; f can be null

vs

if (Foo* f = GetPtr(); f && f->HasValue()){}

Is probably the biggest pitfall. Especially if you're used to this:

if (Foo* f = GetPtr())
{
f->DoTheThing(); // this is perfectly safe.
}
Just wait until these security researchers learn about the LDR instruction that malicious software could use to read any memory.
Disgustingly racist comment.
It is possible, but fortunately still exist countries like Ukraine, and produce old diesel engines for trucks (KRAZ) and for tanks (T-64 line, including T-90, and also used on military trailers like MAZ-537, so when you cannot visually see, you don't know if tank running itself or on trailer).

Main problem, in those countries have not managed to produce small diesel engines for light trucks, and KRAZ engines are something 6L or more (tank diesel are 10L).

I hear they made half-block near-flat modification for armored personnel carrier, and even used it on low-floor city bus, but as I know they was not much market success, so have not produced big series.

I think the blind spot here is that, while LLMs may decrease the developer-time cost of software, it will increase the lifetime ownership cost. And since this is a time delayed signal, it will cause a bullwhip effect. If hiring managers were mad at the 2020 market, 2030 will be a doozy. There will be increased liability in the form of over engineered and hard to maintain code bases, and a dearth of talent able to undo the slopcode.

It's not propaganda if it is true.
I highly doubt the assessment that it would take 10x more people. If you let a consultancy do it, sure. Any normal medium sized IT company no. The problem with the assessment is invested time, since the invested manhours and failures over all the years of dodgy excel sheets is simply unmeasurable.
All of this higher level HCI and API shiz rests (in the embedded world) on a set of registers which are usually documented in the daatsheet. By manipulating these registers, the developer can make the IC do anything it is capable of doing: it is the ultimate API, and there is almost no means in code of making the hardware do anything except by this means.
So any 'shadow' API is not really of any consequence in embedded, because it all boils down to these registers, which we can perfectly well view or manipulate.

Espressif, as well as all other manufacturers of such BLE enabled SoCs provide at least some parts of their RF stack as precompiled binary.
However, Espressif took the decision to deliberately not publish the registers used at lowest level to configure and command the RF peripheral on the IC. All other manufacturers I am aware of publish these registers, just like all the others.
Ultimately this minor obfuscation offers no additional security benefit, nor does it create any security loophole above any that exist on any other chipset.

I was looking up vacuum tube recently. Apparently there are things called "getter" pins in them that connects to internal material deposition device, used to remove last bits of air out of tube in the manufacturing line. The exact behaviors and operating parameters for those pins are corporate secrets and not documented. Datasheets only mention them as "No Connect" pins that do nothing and has to be disconnected from anything for safe and correct operation of the device. BACKDOOR!!! in an analog vacuum tube.

... everything ever always had factory-use-only interfaces. Manufacturers don't document every bits of everything on public datasheets. Granted, the dynamics of this change if they can be used as backdoors, and those might have to be either disclosed or securely disabled, but "why they exist in the first place" is just nonsensical question; they exist for necessary internal purposes.

That question should be "how should factory use interfaces be handled going forward".

Even if the spelling is on point, often, it's hard for me to understand what they mean. Like that books to them in that context means “writing volumes”. I'm not picky either, but language stops serving the purpose of communication when there is no apparent message in the words, doesn't it?

If the spelling is wrong, there's almost no communication taking place at all, jus gibberish, as you say.

I think the SD card is thought of as the worst tier of storage, so if you're not wanting to boot from the SD card, then the idea is to use something like a USB disk etc. Presumably, it causes more problems (bricked devices) if they don't always boot from the SD card preferentially.

One solution would be to always boot from the SD card and either have it partitioned to provide the SD storage that you want, or use the eMMC etc to provide the storage.
It isn't difficult to find examples of people misbehaving in the history of any country. That doesn't mean they are irredeemable and they need a British Army battalion to come and save them from themselves.

I would guess that the British Army et al. killed at least as many people in India as were burned alive as part of funerary rites. How does one effectively compare those two actions? It's easy to take the coloniser perspective of "they were savages and we stopped them from doing X". But the colonised are telling their own stories "these savages came from across the sea and they committed the most horrible atrocities".

I'm not trying to defend burning people or eating people. But killing people to take their stuff and calling it civilisation is not better. It's certainly not civilised.
Agreed. LLMs pull you towards the average knowledge, and they suck when you're trying to find a creative solution that challenges the status quo.
