Depends entirely how you define "growth". If you take AI, LLM as your baseline of growth, then yeah, sure. But what else is growing?

FPGAs are getting cheaper with each gen, expanding into low cost, high volume markets that were unthinkable for an FPGA 10 years ago. Lattice has an FPGA family specifically targeted to smartphones, and I've been consulting for a high end audio company that wanted to do some dsp, and a cheap FPGA was the best option in the market for the particular implementation that they wanted to do.

It's not sexy growth, but it's growth. Otherwise, we wouldn't had the explosion of the latest years in low end FPGA companies.
Company worth hundreds of billions of dollars, on paper at least, has one of the worst naming schemes for their products in the recent history.

Sam acknowledged this a few months ago, but with another release not really bringing any clarity, this is getting ridiculous now.

Amazon took down one of my reviews because I included a picture of the item's manual which had a page offering to pay for Amazon reviews (the item had unanimous 5 star reviews). To me that seemed like valuable info and legitimate context to include in a review but even after I appealed they disagreed because my picture was "irrelevant".
Trump is about making money for himself so he can boast. He doesn't care about this. I wonder who's really calling the shots, because, this is just the beginning.
At the same time, he feels he can (or he's testing) ignoring court orders. Where this meets in the middle will not be a good place.

This goes through all definitions of entropy, except the very first one, which is also the one that is in fact measurable and objective: the variation in entropy is the amount of heat energy that the system exchanges with the environment at a given temperature during a reversible process. While tedious, this can be measured, and it doesn't depend on any subjective knowledge about the system. Any two observers will agree on this value, even if one knows all of the details of every single microstate.
Hot showers too! And 1-800 phone numbers. In my motorcycle touring days, at 3pm or so I'd figure out where I would be at 7-8pm, lookup the nearest KOA in the KOA directory booklet, and call the 1-800 to make a reservation. Often when I arrived, they were turning away unhappy would-be campers as all spots were already taken.

I am not convinced about the random order stuff. If most people will stream from the start then the start will be more seeded? So it's all good.

And the order is requested by the client, and there are clients that go in the sequential order, like Deluge
Whenever there is an entropy, it can be defined as

S = - sum_n p_n log( p_n )

where the p_n is a probability distribution: for n = 1...W, p_n >= 0 and sum_n p_n = 1. This is always the underlying equation, the only thing that changes is the probability distribution.

No, we've seen more than enough to know exactly what kind of administration this is, and how it lies.

FFS it's just 3 months in and already they're kidnapping people from America into concentration camps for the rest of their lives (however short that might be) with no trial nor even the pretense of charges.

You are demonstrating and perpetuating bigotry and prejudice.

Who uses them does not matter. What they use them for does not matter.

You claimed there were no Apple users in Europe. That is a blatant falsehood. Now you have explained why you lied: because you admit it was a lie and that there are lots of people using them, but you think those people are not important, and so you ignored them and did not count them.

I am not interested your value judgements. I may even share some of them but that is not important. The point is that Apple kit costs more because Apple doesn't make budget models and doesn't use cheap cut-down components like Celerons and "Pentium Dual Core" and other budget junk.

Apple costs more. So Apple is bought by or for richer people. Management and marketing make more money so they get more expensive toys.

I am not arguing if this is right or wrong. It isn't relevant. The point is, it sells, it's used in large numbers, and as such it's commercially important.

I wonder if it would be possible to figure out which pins are connected to what on the device's board and just flash the thing completely with ESPHome and write a custom yaml config for it, rather than adapting the existing vendor firmware.

Correct.

But...

We _do know_ that companies are typically driven by greed and profit, so if it is possible for them to replace their human workers with something that does a similar level of work but also does not require a paycheck, we would be absolute fools to assume that they won't do everything in their power to make that a reality, regardless of the understood reliability of LLMs.
Great article - enjoyed it a lot!

re: the notes on the use of the device keys (stored in the K/V store), assuming that they are per device would seem the most obvious vs that they are global. Global keys would be written in the main app body in my experience, not the KV store (but that doesn't mean people have not done unusual things here of course!).

I also want to share some feedback on the complexity of managing per device keys these days and the risks - there are lots of easy to use tools that per device keys like this much simpler to do in 2025 than 2015 and cloud platforms that take in CSV files and return very similar messages... Typically a security model for a device such as an air purifier can be easily defined as not having device encryption enabled if it has per-device keys on as the impact of breaching a single device remains compartmentalized to a single edge component and in this case, just a purifier (vs a car or something that explodes!). Not that I agree with this, but corporate security can! Device encryption causes lots of problems in factories that are often best 'ignored' if the product can afford it.

Per another comment, god bless ESP32 developers once the EU rule kicks in in August... !
You need good latency for streaming, torrents can get to a decent speed but the latency will always be bad.

Modern streaming protocols sometimes go to absurd lengths to avoid too many hops so you get the data as soon as possible... torrent has so many jumps and negotiations to get to the actual file. It's good for decentralization but decentralization and efficiency go against each other.

Yes, their open source drivers had a painful birth, but they are good once they're sanded and sharpened with the community.

However, they somehow managed to bork e1000e driver in a way that certain older cards sometimes fail to initialize and require a reboot. I have been bitten by the bug, and the problem was fixed later by reverting the problematic patch in Debian.

I don't know current state of the driver since I passed the system on. Besides a couple of bad patches in their VGA drivers, their cards are reliable and works well.

From my experience, their open source driver quality does not depend on the process, but on specific people and their knowledge and love for what they do.

I don't like the aggressive Intel which undercuts everyone by shady tactics, but I don't want them to wither and die, either, but seems like their process, frequency and performance "tricks" are biting them now.

of course "race realists" tend to be anti-Israel; many of them are genuine neo-Nazis. the term arose back in the '90s among white supremacists, who tend to be heavily antisemitic.

the Trump admin aren't (for the most part) "race realists." or antisemitic. or philosemitic. no, the Trump admin is cynically indifferent to the plight of the Jewish people. they're using antisemitism as a cause celebre, a useful cudgel to attack their enemies on the Left. Republicans are using Jews the way the Democrats used trans people - as pawns in a game of identity realpolitik. at least until our political liability outweighs our usefulness, then we get left holding the bag.

you can spot false allies like this because they will amplify the most extreme voices, the most divisive and inflammatory rhetoric, when speaking for their charge. I guarantee you, most trans people didn't want Canadians fined for using the wrong pronouns, and most Jews don't want grad students deported for writing an op-ed. the loudest voices aren't ours.

Thank you, never heard of that concept before. I don't think I was doing that but I can see how it could appear that way. I can't figure out how to get back to the parent comment to see what I was responding to, but I think I asked that because I was trying to understand if the commenter was reacting only to the Harvard letter and preconceptions about the administration, or the administration's letter itself. I could have been more thoughtful about the question.

I have very little experience engaging in political discourse on the internet. So I asked the question like I would to a friend.

I'm realizing now that the best way for me to engage is simply to take these threads and paste them into an LLM and have it explain the nuance and context to me. I just wish there was a forum for conversing about this stuff with real people with diverse viewpoints and who kept to most respectful interpretations.

Boltzmann and Gibbs turn in their graves, every time some information theorist mutilates their beloved entropy. Shanon & Von Neumann were hacking a new theory of communication, not doing real physics and never meant to equate thermodynamic concepts to encoding techniques - but alas now dissertations are written on it.

Entropy can't be a measure of uncertainty, because all the uncertainty is in the probability distribution p(x) - multiplying it with its own logarithm and summing doesn't tell us anything new. If it did, it'd violate quantum physics principles including the Bell inequality and Heisenberg uncertainty.

The article never mentions the simplest and most basic definition of entropy, ie its units (KJ/Kelvin), nor the 3rd law of thermodynamics which is the basis for its measurement.

Linus Torvalds (Git was originally created by him) seems to be actively contributing in GitHub for the Linux kernel repository (also created by him): https://github.com/torvalds/linux Anyone has seen his position on this topic?
The benefit of a random order is that it forces you to actually keep all the packets, which makes upload more likely. Streaming lets you get away with not storing the whole file, which makes bad actors more likely.

And, sure, some BT clients can stream the data, but what the default is makes a huge difference.
It depends on the FPGA hardware used but the 65832 specification tells of speed between 8 and 10 MHz.
Companies/Corporations aren't good or bad, they simply don't obey to moral rules like humans, as their sole goal is making more profit and make sure it will grow with time. As they grow,this aspect becomes less and less compatible with the customers interests, that's why we see many businesses rewriting their contracts or terms and conditions in a more restrictive way and rarely the other way around.
It's not about being companies being good or bad; it all depends on if and when the company need for profit will force them to walk that line after which they start to be user hostile. So, pretty much any company can be forced one day in a condition to become "evil".
For that matter, I'd trust Codeberg over GitHub any day, as it has no interests in pushing me into using other services, selling my data or should they go bankrupt (hardly as they're a non profit) lying to me about that until it's too late because my data is an asset their liquidators want to cash from.

You were always able to manually install Docker CE within WSL2 on Windows.

Yet that’s exactly how it works. Each package will have $100 tacked on and in June that goes up to $200. They are basically making small packages impossible, so individuals / hobby buyers will be cut out completely, and a lot of small businesses will lose their supply lines. Big businesses will just raise prices to compensate… or bite the bullet long enough to put everyone else out of business. I suspect this is Walmarts plan.
Plenty of blame to go around including for the Democrats.

Responsibility for Merrick Garland's failure to adequately pursue Trump lies at Joe Biden's feet and will likely be the thing he is remembered for most in the history books* despite the fact that he had some decent domestic policy (and some horrific foreign policy).

Musk's companies are hype stocks. Today's many successful tech companies run because of the commodification of x86 hardware, allowing them to build massive data centers, run cheap ad platforms, provide things like YouTube, etc, for free. All of this was because of Linux, which Linus Torvalds created. Before Linux and commodity x86 made it reliable and useful, every company had to pay Sun/IBM exorbitant amounts. In no conceivable universe has Musk created more value than Linus. Yet, Linus is not a billionaire.

Most businesses are funded by taxpayers, either directly or indirectly. Elon Musk is a billionaire because of DOE funding, or there would have been no Tesla today.

By January 2009, Tesla had raised $187 million and delivered 147 cars. Musk had contributed $70 million of his money to the company.

In June 2009, Tesla was approved to receive $465 million in interest-bearing loans from the United States Department of Energy.
