When they immigrated to the US, they spoke German. Now, almost all their descendants speak English.

Your objection is that English is a Germanic language. That's interesting, but irrelevant here. German and English are two different languages that are mutually unintelligible, and the fact that immigrants went from speaking one to speaking the other within a few generations illustrates my point that language does not have to (and often doesn't) follow genetics.

It's not only German immigrants to the US who now speak English. Pretty much all immigrants to the US speak English after 1-2 generations, regardless of what language they originally spoke.
There's many ways to go about it, but essentially yes, brk and mmap and a few others just to get into main() for some common run-times.

But you can do whatever you want. For example in libriscv I override the global allocator in my guest programs to use a host-managed heap. That way heap usage has native performance in interpreter mode, while also allowing me full control of the heap from the outside.

"There exist exceptions to a trend" does not mean the trend is not a valid proxy (see [1]), and "refuses to do fizzbuzz" is different from "can't do fizzbuzz".

I run a technical recruiting company, and we ask candidates a question like [2] on our interview (EDIT: we ask other stuff too, this is only part of it). It's not exactly fizzbuzz, but it's really not far beyond it. A candidate we interviewed just a couple days ago took that problem and couldn't even complete the first step. This is the equivalent of asking someone applying for a job as a statistician what the distribution of the sum of two normals is, or asking someone applying for a job as a con-law lawyer what the fifth amendment is, and having them go totally blank.

Is it conceivable that they were just having a rough day and their brain hiccuped really badly? Sure, I suppose. If we did ten thousand interviews, we'd probably have at least one person who is objectively great perform that way.

But would you bet on that? Bet your team, your product, your company, your mission, whatever is important to you, on their ability to get things done? I don't think you would. And hiring (and everything else in business) is about making good bets, not about batting 1.000.

Interesting read, and interesting product. If I understand it right, this seems like it could be at home in a spiritual successor to the Hades Canyon NUCs. I always thought those were neat.

I wish Chips and Cheese would clean up transcripts instead of publishing verbatim. Maybe I'll use the GPU on my Strix Halo to generate readable transcripts of Chips and Cheese interviews.
That all may be the case. But these two arguments are working against each other.

One is to work on a super low spec machine because things were really expensive and the tech scrap in Mexico at the time just didn't have anything better. Fine, believable.

The other is that CD-ROM drives were available much earlier than the general public believes, just that they were really expensive. Fine, also believable.

But it's much harder to believe that both are true for the same person at the same time and place. Either they couldn't afford the CR-ROM drive or they could afford more RAM. Moving forward on the time axis strengthens one argument (CD-ROM drive availability since those got cheaper over time) at the expense of weakening the other.

> Planes that first flew over 30 years ago.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing. Having a platform that has been iterated on and which works tends to be a plus when you want operational robustness. A good example of this is the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.

There is also the fact that with Trump in power, the operational scenario that the F-35 was built for probably no longer exists. It is built to be part of a much larger system. There are legitimate fears that the US can interfere with even relatively limited operational scenarios for the F-35. Leading a lot of countries who have bought them to now question if they can trust their planes.

It is also important to remember that planes like the Gripen have features that F-35 can never deliver on. Like low acquisition and operation cost, high degree of insulation from a politically unstable USA, ability to operate with minimal support structure etc. Also, don't forget that the F-35s in Europe aren't fully operational and that fully operational planes that are more advanced than those of the adversary are probably more than sufficient.

The Ukraine war was a good demonstration of how weak the Russian air force is despite having impressive looking planes.

Modern Linux systems are more complex than that. E.g. if I plug in a USB drive and one of its partitions has permissions

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 Mar 14 11:51 /dev/sda2

I can still mount it even though I am not root or in the disk group. Why? Because many Linux desktops/apps can use polkit to get elevated access if a set of policy rules allow them to do so. E.g. there is typically a policy for udisks that allows clients in active sessions to mount filesystems.

Similarly, I can use fwupd to update the firmware of my machine without ever becoming root, but as a user I certainly don't have the device permissions to do it. So how? The system has a policy rule that says that every active, local user that is in the wheel group can run an update. The fwupd daemon that runs as root will then execute the update for the user.

I really disagree with the straightforward reduction of engineering to 'math but practical', but I'm finding it hard to express exactly why I feel this way.

The history of mathmatical advancement is full of very grounded and practical motivations, and I don't believe that math can be separated from these motivations. That is because math itself is "just" a language for precise description, and it is made and used exactly to fit our descriptive needs.

Yes, there is the study of math for its own sake, seemingly detached from some practical concern. But even then, the relationships that comprise this study are still those that came about because we needed to describe something practical.

So I suppose my feeling is that, teaching math without a use case is like teaching english by only teaching sentence construction rules. It's not that there's nothing to glean from that, but it is very divorced from its real use.
I'm reminded of Buckminster Fuller's concept of ephemeralization: as technology improves, you can do more and more with less and less, until eventually you reach the point where you can do everything with nothing.

This is a minor typo whose real intent was still understandable, you fixed it right away, and no one had replied yet.

Or maybe they aren't pushing flaky shit into prod and actually thinking about their work. Maybe they did 1k lines (counting lines LOL!) of code reviews, fixed some bugs, helped on an outage etc. Fuck. This one dimensional view of things. Look how any company makes money. Let's say Google. It is not by the number of lines of code.
They are in those sizes, but they are not AA or AAA replacements because the voltages are different. If you want to use rechargeable batteries in devices made for alkaline batteries, Eneloop branded NI-MH batteries would me my preference, though other brands are also an option.

I heard something today and I wonder if someone can nitpick it.

If what the admin is doing is illegal, then a court stops it, and they appeal and win, then it wasn't illegal. If they appeal all the way up and lose, then they can't do it.

So what exactly is the problem?

Mind you, I am asking for nits, this isn't my idea. I don't think "the administration will ignore the supreme court" is a good nit.

Most people will call it stealing, lawyers will find a way to call it differently.

So, you’re affirming that you can steal almost the whole creative output of humanity and not sit in jail your whole life?)

They not just stole or infringed, they profit from it, replace and compete with the very from whom they stole (or whom they infringed as you prefer calling it).

The model is like their private library they don’t allow you to enter or see, instead they have a strict librarian who spits hallucinated quotes at you.

The problem is in that. They are not Robbin Hoods who steal to share with the poor. They steal from the poor to make the rich richer. To enrich themselves, grab human freedoms and give those freedoms and more to AI agents.

You cannot steal the whole output of humanity and put in your brain. AI agents and companies already have massively more rights and freedoms than you and it’s gonna get much worse.

There is a narrow way through dystopias because intelligence is inherently static and non-agentic (think static 4d spacetime of a universe), we can open the Library and empower people by making models explorable like 3D games

There are many meanings. Off the top of my head:

1. church meaning a building
2. church meaning an organisation - e.g. "Roman Catholic Church"
3. church militant - all Christians on earth
4. church triumphant - all of redeemed humanity. If you are a universalist (someone who believes all of humanity is saved) this would be synonymous with all of humanity.

I am sure I have missed things out, and there are lots of shades of meaning and different levels with regard to organisations.

Modern English is still a Western Germanic language. If you don't speak English, it sounds remarkably like Dutch. The cadence, the intonation, the sounds - they are all distinctly Germanic.

Languages constantly borrow words, but there's a deeper foundation to the language (grammar, phonology, basic vocabulary) that remains.

Tesla would be dead in the water actually because its products are shit compared to what’s available today.

They had a massive lead where a sub-Corolla quality build could sell for $60k+ because EV, and squandered it.
By all accounts this vehicle is a failure. I suspect it wasn't actually intended to be the core to Tesla's future though, just an "epic" little novelty treat for Elon and some hardcore fanbois.

But I am curious what their future is supposed to look like - were they expecting to grow based on sales of the existing (four?) models or do they have a new model in the pipeline?
Tesla is done in Europe for political/cultural reasons. Tesla is done in Asia for competitive reasons but I think that Cybertrucks could be the nail in the coffin for even the most MAGA brainwashed Elon fan, once they drive it…

Bit of both, I think. German winters are nasty, cold, and damp, it has the third-highest median age behind Japan and Italy, kids universally go to kindergarten to bring germs home, and it has a culture where you don't show up if actually ill - it's worth noting that a non-sick day does not mean a productive day, especially if your colleagues catch your illness.

But also, Germans are pretty intense, despite their image of relaxed, easy-going people*. In my experience, they're very dedicated, but also take no shit. I can well see that if they think the work balance is not right, or they're not treated like human beings or getting a fair deal in some manner, they'll take it upon themselves to make it fair. If your company acts like a typical American one, I can well see a culture clash. Anecdotal, of course.

> if you tell people that politicians lie

If you do it as a blanket statement — i.e. all politicians lie all the time — then yes, I will be pretty irritated.

Some politicians spout dangerous nonsense most of the time.

Other politicians can be trusted most of the time, and when they lie it tends towards 'spin' or 'being economical with the truth' (such as: "we are spending more on education than ever before" — when this is true in nominal/absolute terms but false in real/per-pupil terms).

There is a world of difference between these positions, and treating them alike (as many do) undermines democracies.

> If you look at recent statistics, German workers are at the top of sick days used, twice as much sick days than the EU average, which is an insane difference. So what's going on? Is there a health crisis in Germany causing Germans to be twice as sick as their neighbors? Or are they twice as likely to cheat the system? Or a bit of both?

Both are obviously factors, but there is also another category, people who are legitimately stressed to a degree that affects their health but who are forced to continue working in other jurisdictions due to the lack of employee protections.

All labour is exploited - the degree to which it is is limited by law in each country. Germany just allows less severe exploitation than Ireland or Austria or - obviously - the United States.
