Apologies for my lack of understanding of business, but who was better business person? Was it Roberta because she wasn't interested?
Not only are competitors products better and cheaper but iRobots products actually got worse over time.

My first roomba was 2017 and I subsequently got 2 more with more supposed sensors and recognition abilities 2020-2023 and they are just awful.

Just the basics of starting, cleaning, and returning to base to charge are handled worse than my 2017 model.
Interesting. I recently tested a 6ft USB3 cable and an attached drive. The transfer of a 1TB file failed a few times (not sure of the details). This is strange, since the cable couldn't have been that bad (?) and the 16-bit CRC should have caught those errors (assuming an error will trigger a resend of data). Any ideas what the issue could have been? Does Linux provide a way to view the error rate?

> What I always heard was that Netscape was the better browser

Netscape was SO bad that they literally threw away all the code to make Firefox. Before IE3, Internet Explorer was not really competitive but with IE3 you could fully use it place of Netscape and it was smaller, faster, and more stable (it was also mostly Spyglass Mosaic). IE4 began the integration with Windows, all of which sucked and nobody used but the browser itself remained solid.

As a developer, IE was also way easier to develop for than Netscape and many things we now take for granted on the web were pioneered by Microsoft in IE. When the browser wars were on, IE was a really good browser and Netscape was stuck with a difficult code base. However, once Netscape was gone Microsoft simply stopped significantly updating IE. It remained almost completely stagnant until Chrome came along and it's from that period onwards that IE gets its bad reputation. I switched to Firefox at version 1.0 and still use it today.

The thing is that Microsoft did, in fact, bundle IE with Windows to try and kill Netscape but that doesn't imply IE was bad at the time. That's the flaw in the logic and where a lot of negative revisionist history comes from. Ironically, today, it would be considered crazy to sell an OS or device without a browser being bundled. And Netscape may have collapsed under it's own weight eventually anyway.

Some crossword people like having their timers (see NYT Games app for example), but as I’ve mentioned the timers are counting up, not triggering any negative conditions, and can be turned off completely.
You never had a reason to trust TAL's reporting before the Daisey incident. You maybe trusted it because it is on the radio, and you trust people who can afford a radio station; or because it was on an NPR station, and you trust NPR.

This is pragmatic as long as you have no evidence either way and you're not basing any serious decisions on this "trust." But the fact that they didn't bother to fact check Daisey, and in fact had never fact-checked before that: this is actually the first information you have about TAL's internal processes. It should vastly outweigh it being on the radio.

This comes off like fandom. You seem to have an interest in this incident not affecting people's perception of the quality of TAL, but I have no idea what that interest would be. It shouldn't bother you that people see the show as a place whose facts should be checked if one is considering spreading them.

While he said DOGE isn’t “universally praised or condemned” among the conservative technologists he knows, he said more people in those circles are starting to “talk about the DOGE that could have been.”
I can't be sure about the latest models, but my two iRobot products - a Roomba 650 and a Braava 380t - don't have Wi-Fi connectivity to begin with.

The Roomba has physical buttons on it, which allow you to set a cleaning schedule if you so choose. There's also a small LED display, and a speaker that "says" what's wrong.

The Braava, by contrast, is a dumb-as-bricks device with two buttons - "mop" (which uses mop-like motions) and "sweep" (which uses broom-like motions).

Do they bump into stuff? Yep. Do I call them "dumbass" as I watch them clean? Sure do. But they're otherwise perfectly capable little single-function devices that don't try to do anything more than they really need to do.

I don't know how large are those boxes, but normal CPU L1 cache has 32 or 48KB which should be plenty for this. Python opcodes for this program are going to be tiny, and the interpreter itself uses the instruction-L1 cache (which is another 32-48KB). I hope the sequential scan of the big array won't flush the L1 cache (there should be 12-way associativity with LRU, so I don't see how it could).

Anyway, there is no need to have 256 integers, just 2 is enough. When I try that, the results are similar: 17.5 ms (unsorted) / 12.5 ms (sorted)
Yes the remaining ecosystem we have left today. Earth core will colder in millions of years. The rate at which we’re making life in general except for a few strains that are useful for human consumption, will not last that long. And yes a comet could hit the earth any time and wipe out all life, but that also means it could happen before you moved to other planets by using unknown technologies.

A comet could wipe out all humans as well, but we don’t use that as an excuse to start wiping out other humans do we? Then why don’t those rules apply to the rest of the life we share this planet with?

You're inferring a lot that I didn't write or even imply. I'll be clear about my beliefs:

1. I just learned from the article about the fabricated Daisey episode and that TAL started using professional fact checkers only afterward. I was surprised on both counts.

2. I saw your comment that it would be in poor character to discredit TAL's prior reporting on the basis of this one failure.

3. I responded that it would be telling to actually estimate the reliability of earlier episodes because, right now, we're just going off our personal beliefs (and these probably vary widely from person to person).

4. You and I had a back and forth, mainly talking past one another.

5. I think that if we did actually measure the reliability of prior episodes, it would be less than a lot of TAL defenders expect and greater than a lot of TAL doubters expect.

6. As for what's reasonable vs. over correction to take away from the article, that depends largely on your prior beliefs about TAL and how the world functions in general.

Note that point 5, being a product of my prior beliefs about TAL and how the world functions in general, is actually an example of point 6 in action.

This is one of the clearest example of overzealous regulation leading to the West losing one of its strongest household robot brands to Chinese upstarts.

Robot was not in a particularly financial good shape beforehand, but at least had models that could compete against the Chinese competitors. Because it was running out of cash, it tried to get acquired by Amazon for $1.4B. This was, by no means, an ideal deal, but it would have put the company on stable financial footing, and let it continue as a brand (similar to Alexa or Ring).

However, European and FTC regulators prevented the deal, saying that this was an invasion of home privacy by the big-bad Amazon. Fast forwards three years and today, all of the robot vacuums you buy today are Chinese-made and iRobot is about to declare bankruptcy. We traded off home privacy from Amazon to an upstart Chinese company and lost a leading $1.4B company. Great. I don't know about you, but I trust Amazon more with my data than a Chinese company.

I feel like there are two kinds of side projects. One type is a small project that can be coded up in a short time (a weekend or a few evenings). It reaches a functional stage rather quickly and only takes a few hours to fix bugs or improve the user experience.

The other type is much bigger and can take months or even years. New features are added from time to time, but must also fit into a well defined architecture.

Both types can be satisfying but require different approaches. The first gives you a bunch of different projects that get shuffled around and easily abandoned. The second requires more discipline as you continually build upon previous layers.

Since they are both side projects, you can go weeks without looking at them or spend all your spare time on them for extended periods.

I have a side project that I have dabbled with for a decade. There are months where I get many features working and others where I barely look at it. It just depends on what else is happening in my life at the moment.

I’ve been modifying the the MIR c2mir JIT compiler to extend the c11 compiler to support simple classes, boxed strings(immutable, nun-nullable) with AOT support.

Imagine if Java and C had a love child, basically.

MIR is a fantastic piece of engineering.

Honestly the hardest part is representing types. Having played around with other compilers it seems to be a typical problem.

I’m stuck in the minutiae of representing highly structured complexity and defining behavior in c. I can understand why many languages have an intermediate compiler - it’s too much work and it will probably change over time.
Yeah I totally thought this was going to be about some new religious or spiritual movement.
Is that actually feasible or just marketing copy? Moving car production sounds like a multi-year effort. The latest tariff numbers might not even last the week.

Or is this one of a, "99% constructed in Japan, but we attached the wiper blades in the USA" kind of manufacturing move?
Having read both of them (well, I had the dragon book as a compiler course textbook, couldn't really read it all, donno who can) I think that's not a fair comparison.

AoE is extremely practical. I think the debate here is what exactly are "fundamentals" for electronics. I read AoE with high school physics and some hands on tinkering (mostly with exposure to software in embedded systems) as my background. At that point in my life I found it readable and enjoyable. It will help you get to the next level. Probably skipped some sections that weren't of interest though. I probably built my first electronic circuit in elementary school (some lights, switches, battery, etc.). If you just have no clue of anything electronics then yes, this is not the book for you. But it still is "electronics fundamentals" despite that.
Added more visualisation options: histogram, 3d surface, added converting images to buffers as image buffers, added support for rendering pipelines, loading images as buffers, running core image shaders (filters) with gpumkat and improved the installation script, fixed bugs in a shader debugger for metal which is designed to do what instruments can't do
I think not a lot. An equatorial mount has the advantage that cancelling the rotation of the earth is very simple (just a constant rate rotation around one axis), so tracking inertial stars is easier, but the main movement of the ISS is due to its orbit, it’s just overlaid with the rotation of the earth. But if you have to track both axes anyways, having the rotation of the earth cancelled for free doesn’t help a lot.
Is this still a thing in Swift? I loved Swift 1, spent a couple of days upgrading to Swift 2, a week or more for Swift 3. At that point I just switched to React Native. I understand that iterating is generally a good thing, but the constant cykle breaking changes in the language was just too much.
Another approach with overlapping effects is to make companies extremely liable for misuse or mismanagement of personal information.

There would still be advertising, and maybe even some personalized advertising, but in many cases they might decide the risk isn't worth it.

It would also impact data-brokers and operations that don't strictly rely on direct-to-consumer advertising, like background checks, but credit scores, sales leads, etc.

I was living in an NYC apartment when the plague hit. Every day an ambulance would come up to our front door, and wheel away another one of my neighbors, feet first, never to be seen again.

Then it was TWO ambulances a day.

I will not abide being accused of "groupthink" by people who somehow convinced themselves that wearing a mask was useless during a plague which was spread from person to person by airborne particles of mucus.

I saw with my own eyes what a big difference it made when people started wearing masks and getting vaccinated. The ambulances stopped coming to my front door.

Enough of this endless spreading of propaganda-fu. Look at where it has gotten us. How much more damage to our government, economy, and civil society do you think we can take?
K3s is truly great - been using it for years for just about everything not warranting a full cluster. MicroK8s feels like it does too much in non-standard ways and when it breaks you're suddenly dealing with Snap related issues and it's a total immersion break.

Lately there's also RKE2 (https://docs.rke2.io/) that I've been growing fondness for and it's only marginally more tricky to setup, with the bonus effect of having a more 'standard' cluster distribution and more knobs to twist.

Not that I'd be shy of running K3s in production, but it seems easier to follow 'standard Kubernetes way' for things without having to diff with some of K3s's default configuration choices - which, again, aren't bad at all for folks who do not need all of the different options.

For edge workloads and smaller clusters / less familiar operators that want to run Kubernetes platforms themselves without depending on a managed provider, K3s is pretty impossible to beat.
> a, "99% constructed in Japan, but we attached the wiper blades in the USA" kind of manufacturing move

CDKs would still be hit by the 25% auto tariff (unrelated to the country level tariffs).

It's already been manufactured in Tennessee since 2023, so what's most likely happening is Nissan will stop shipping parts from Japan and rely solely on their NAM supply chain.

> Is that actually feasible or just marketing copy

Most likely depends on scale. Most firms at Nissan size began building redundancy plans during COVID due to supply chain instability.
It is the opposite of a steelman to you. It is a matter of perspective in that if a person finds a leap forward in the consolidation of power and wealth to be abhorrent or illogical, then the act of pointing out that that is happening is itself abhorrent or illogical.

Unemployment lowering wages isn’t up for debate, cash-rich folks buying at the bottom of the market is not imaginary, and no one is trying to make the point that the tariffs somehow appeared emergently like weeds in the grass — we all agree that they are being imposed intentionally by people. There is no part of what was written there that is trivial to disprove.
If you really want to think at it as a probability, think at it as "the probability to express correctly the sentence/idea that was modeled in the activations of the model for that token". Which is totally different than "the probability that this sentence continues in a given way", as the latter is like "how in general this sentence continues", but instead the model picks tokens based on what it is modeling in the latent space.
I love this, and yes can completely relate. The last side project I got absorbed into[0] completely consumed me for a weekend. I was driven like a man possessed to finish it before Monday. I had to leave the house and stake out a corner in a coffee shop to concentrate. The scope of the project was perfect: it was small enough to do in a weekend, I was building something I needed, and something that could help others. Creating something is so much fun, especially when you have a long-lasting way to share it like your own website.

I know people disparage LLMs for not building any serious code. Yes it's only a hobby project and not a production system, but my little project really would never have left the ground without it.

Surrre.
This whole posting is 74 words, which I imagine is about the total amount of quotable thought Nissan has given to the topic.

Given:

* how long it would take to set up new manufacturing
* how volatile constant changes are with boundless, randomized tariffs
(it's only been 3 months, y'all)
* how recent this newest set of tariffs are

How can this article be anything more than 74 words built from 3 words overheard at a coffee shop?

> There's so much progress, it wouldn't be that surprising

LeCun's point looks like a denunciation over an excessive focus over the LLM idea ("it works, so let's expand that" vs "it probably will not achieve the level of a satisfactory general model, so let us directly try to go beyond it").
This seems to focus on online advertising. The question is how would you pay for many things on the internet?
Europe has perhaps stricter rules on ads, but they're absolutely not banned, at most they're restricted but that just means you'll see different ads, rather than no ads
Nothing. Build elsewhere and accept the loss of the market as a risk reduction premium.
The money must have run out ages ago, right? So it has to have been a huge burden for the Two Guys. I don't envy them. And it seems the Early Access game they finally released is broken and not very good.

I've read an article that guesses they must have attempted changing Unity versions at least a couple of times, partly because they couldn't figure out how to solve a savegame bug (still not working right!).

Somehow this reminds me of Duke Nukem Forever.
