Not the op, but no - I don't see anything wrong with the scenario: the employer is making the call, and if they find the speech of the employee doesn't fit with their worldview they have all the rights to fire them.

Practical example: the employer is an LGBTQ+ friendly establishment, the employee is on social media saying that LGBTQ+ people are all deviants and will all burn in hell for their sins. I think the employer should have the freedom to fire the person, right?

Forcing the employer to keep the employee is the equivalent of compelled speech.

USB is something that is possible to understand, and apparently bit-bang at at least low speed 1.5Mbps. Probably full speed 12Mbps as well on a modern MCU. I don't understand it, but one can.

In that sense it's like SPI, or perhaps more like CAN or SD: when you don't understand it, you reach for someone else to have done it for you, but you can choose to understand it and once you understand it you can implement it.

If you're the slave you have tight timing requirements but you only have to respond with certain fixed bit patterns to certain other bit patterns. If you're the master, you can do more things concurrently because the slave won't notice a little jitter in how often you poll it, but you have the problem of dealing with a wider variety of slaves that can be connected.
#1. Total US food imports are about $200B. That's about 10% of US household spending on food, measured by supermarket plus restaurant sales ($800B + $1T).

#2. It's hard to know what's going on in Russia.

#3. High exports don't disprove GP's claim about "state economic planning and market barriers". In fact, they prove the success of those policies and help China maintain a $1T trade surplus, the very opposite of the US's situation.

My favorite Tcl story is a little side note about how Tcl could have been the language of the web[1]

the founding of Netscape occurred at the same time I was deciding where to go in industry when I left Berkeley in 1994. Jim Clarke and Marc Andreessen approached me about the possibility of my joining Netscape as a founder, but I eventually decided against it (they hadn't yet decided to do Web stuff when I talked with them). This is one of the biggest "what if" moments of my career. If I had gone to Netscape, I think there's a good chance that Tcl would have become the browser language instead of JavaScript and the world would be a different place! However, in retrospect I'm not sure that Tcl would actually be a better language for the Web than JavaScript, so maybe the right thing happened.

Too humble Dr. Ousterhout! It would have been a far better language.

> I feel like an editor now, more than an engineer.

I have been using LLMs more and more and I think they are great for brainstorming and editing and getting to an 80% solution. But just like an editor needs to know the fundamentals of writing, you still need to know the fundamentals of software to be effective as an engineer.

Side note: I remember when I first came upon a really sophisticated system that made me feel more like an assembler than a developer. It was drupal in the late 2000s. I ran away from that as fast as I could, even though the money was good.
I do get significand and mantissa mixed up. I solved that by just removing them!

The article goes through a long list of 8 pin chips but ignores the very popular $0.10 CH32V003, which has 2k RAM and 16k Flash running at 48 MHz and 1 CPI -- or the new CH570 (I have a dev board on the way) which is also $0.10 in SOIC8 but now runs at 100 MHz with 16k RAM and 256k flash and has USB and a 2.4 GHz packet radio.

I feel this will resonate with a lot of us. For a lot of years I very much lost the love of the web I'd had since the mid 90s.

A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to have the time, space and money to enjoy side projects again. Music, art, coding for the love of making something with no other reason than doing. I stopped thinking anything had to be anything - it just was. I could do for the sake of doing and it was liberating.

I've been very happy about this, it's been a blessing mentally. And very productive. I've enjoyed time and space, and I appreciate (again!) how lucky I am to be here.

CH32V003 is not available on mouser.com or digikey.com

Googling for "CH570" produces results about tractors. Got a link?

EDIT: found info here: https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/04/02/10-cents-wch-ch570-c...

8-pin part lacks USB AND only has 3 I/O pins. It would be disqualified due to being too I/O-poor. Wasting 5 pins out of 8 is a joke!

As for the old one, CH32V003: 48MHz is slower than the STM's 150MHz, half the flash, 1/4 the RAM. It is still not the best option.

I did update the article with them, though :)
I don't necessarily think you're wrong, and in general I do agree with you to an extent that this seems like self-centeted Computer Scientist/SWE hubris to think that automating programming is ~AGI.

HOWEVER there is a case to be made that software is an insanely powerful lever for many industries, especially AI. And if current AI gets good enough at software problems that it can improve its own infrastructure or even ideate new model architectures, then we would (in this hypothetical case), potentially reach an "intelligence explosion," which would (may) _actually_ yield a true, generalized intelligence.

So as a cynic, while I think the intermediary goal of many of these so-called-agi companies is just your usual SaaS automation slop because thats the easiest industry to disrupt and extract money from (and the people at these companies only really know how software works, as opposed to having knowledge of other things like chemistry, biology, etc), I also think that in theory, being a very fast and low cost programming agent is a bit more powerful than you think.

> definitely not a mainframe.

Interestingly enough, as part of IBM's Eclipz Project - to share tech between their server lines - the POWER6 shared a lot of things with the z10 mainframe processor. To quote Wikipedia:

"The z10 processor was co-developed with and shares many design traits with the POWER6 processor, such as fabrication technology, logic design, execution unit, floating-point units, bus technology (GX bus) and pipeline design style, i.e., a high frequency, low latency, deep (14 stages in the z10), in-order pipeline.

Manufacturing is already here. US's manufacturing output is higher every year. Manufacturing jobs don't exist, and therefore cannot "come back". There is no scenario where Americans go to work in some kind of electronics or textiles sweatshop. If the result of these tariffs is "more US manufacturing" then all of that manufacturing will be automated and robotic.

I disagree. Zombie-town is a valid insult for the state of certain SF neighborhoods.

Yes, opponents love exaggerating the geographical extent of this crisis. But, it is that dire in the worst hotspots. Unfortunately, these hotspots also happen to be high-foot-traffic commuter hubs and downtown locations. Compassionate methods should be the carrot to a much needed stick. The stick being - Punishment for crimes and involuntary hospitalization of those too far gone.

I would like to talk about the horrors of involuntary hospitalization. Which issues do you think will return ? What's worse than a life that's indistinguishable from zombie-hood on the streets of SF ?
The SD card itself contains a fairly powerful processor, likely a 32-bit ARM. It would be a fun hack to do a similar trick with that.

PMS as property managements software :).

And yes, I use Airbnb as a guest as well, but I gauge the risk of having a bad host into the decision making.

We also get all type of horror stories from guests that had a bad experience and found themselves trying to find a last minute place to stay.

The problem is that the Airbnb app heavily disincentivizes "professionalization". They have a small cartel of PMS providers that can actually hit their API. I can't build my own systems on top of their API, I have to go through a middle man or use the their crappy app.

Their app is so incredibly obtuse that it puzzles me how people shower Airbnb as a "great product design company". It's a beautiful app sure, but incredibly clunky. It's like a call center phone menu made into an art piece.

The way some people use the internet truly puzzle me. A username is on each comment. I made a comment, you replied, and I replied back. I wasn't arguing with myself. You took the time to reiterate your philosophy in more depth without even bothering to first take the literal second to check the usernames to clear up your confusion or pausing for a moment to actually engage with anything actually said in my last comment? I wasn't asking you for more details on your philosophy, I was asking you direct and specific questions on how this philosophy meshes with the complexities of the real world. I frankly don't know how to respond beyond just referring you back to the questions in my previous comment.

>I don't see any advantage to involving Microsoft in the boot process.

Good point. Me neither, never have,

But if they're already there within the PC in some way or another, ideally they should gracefully be able to accomodate Linux under UEFI as easily as it still works when using BIOS.

>in effect you're proposing different boot paths, and different UI/UX depending on whether the system is Linux-only or dual boot Windows Linux.

Not proposing. Been living it for decades. It's only broken under UEFI.

Even on my average pure Windows machine, I normally have about 4 distinct boot paths for each OS using various instances of the NT6 bootloader. Not counting the option of whipping up an emergency boot floppy which can still be made for modern Windows use if all else failed.

Experience has shown, the more viable boot paths, and the fewer obstacles, the greater reliability.

>You seem to think Microsoft wants to be in the business of executing arbitrary and unsigned code

Nope, that's just how they started out and ended up outgrowing IBM. I remember it well, those days are long over.

Likewise, there should never have been any need for Linux to involve any Microsoft code or signing, like SecureBoot, in order to perform on the most secure new PC's without requiring any different default UEFI settings than Windows.
To add some perspective, the most expensive component of modern farming is fetilizers. Things such as Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potash.

America depends on other countries to supply some part of these materials (like Potash from Canada).

I'm not sure the assertion "food is entirely local" is entirely sound, when we consider the supply chain.

Mmmm, I'm not so sure about that anymore ... at least not for a while yet.

Trump has a lot of leeway to declare emergency rulings and to have those enforced in the short term. Such powers come with a short leash that require appeals to be addressed in a short time frame.

That mechanism was upended twenty four days ago when US Republicians effectively "stopped time" ..

Each day for the remainder of the first session of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622) with respect to a joint resolution terminating a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025.

~ https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolutio...

"Each day [..] shall not constitute a calendar day"

This does not appear (on my admittedly brief search) to be something routine in US resolutions.

There's some further commentary here:

The Constitution gives to Congress, not the president, the power to impose tariffs. But the International Emergency Economic Powers Act allows the president to impose tariffs if he declares a national emergency under the National Emergencies Act, which Trump did on February 1. That same law allows Congress to end such a declaration of emergency, but if such a termination is introduced—as Democrats have recently done—it has to be taken up in a matter of days.

But this would force Republicans to go on record as either supporting or opposing the unpopular economic ideology Trump and Musk are imposing. So Republicans just passed a measure saying that for the rest of this congressional session, “each day…shall not constitute a calendar day” for the purposes of terminating Trump’s emergency declaration.

That is crime, not affluence. Poor people aren't automatically criminals.
This is just asinine. Consider the same argument flipped around:

"If you get deported for saying something stupid, you may want to consider the notion that you do not deserve to live in the US. They’re called consequences, and if you don’t like them, remaining silent is free."

Both arguments are ridiculous because they present no evidence as to whether someone deserves a job or a visa stay.

Defusing an Elasticsearch Mapping Explosion with Slots (2022)
> The "extreme realists" or Platonists, . . . hold that abstractions exist as real entities or archetypes in another dimension of reality and that the concretes we perceive are merely their imperfect reflections, but the concretes evoke the abstractions in our mind. (According to Plato, they do so by evoking the memory of the archetypes which we had known, before birth, in that other dimension.)

I think the concepts of forms and shapes rubbed her the wrong way.

Here's a quote from Piekoff that I think explains why much better than what Rand would have written.

> Momentous conclusions about man are implicit in this metaphysics (and were later made explicit by a long line of Platonists): since individual men are merely particular instances of the universal "man," they are not ultimately real. What is real about men is only the Form which they share in common and reflect. To common sense, there appear to be many separate, individual men, each independent of the others, each fully real in his own right. To Platonism, this is a deception; all the seemingly individual men are really the same one Form, in various reflections or manifestations. Thus, all men ultimately comprise one unity, and no earthly man is an autonomous entity—just as, if a man were reflected in a multifaceted mirror, the many reflections would not be autonomous entities.

In my defense, I was playing Bedwars (competitive Minecraft mini-game with floating islands, ability to make bridges across them, purpose being to break other team's beds), and once I found out there was a cheater in my team, I left my team's bed with no protection, to make the game easier for the "clean" players. It didn't work, the cheater in my team eliminated all the other players.

Have to disagree. Some type of solid metric has to be used, beyond claims by fans or language creators bombarding multiple social media sites.

First, "future prospect", is a claim almost any language can try to make. Unless it is a language created by a well known corporation (Carbon for example) or famous programmer (Jai or Mojo), such claims lack a foundation. A new language can really only make the argument of truly being a future prospect, if it comes from something already successful or famous.

Thus, for most newer languages, GitHub is a valid metric. Not just stars, but the number of contributors and activity associated with the repo. Other things like books on Amazon by third parties or articles about the language in well known magazines, would clearly count too. These things are measurables, beyond just hype.
