Supply and demand, like the article said, but maybe on the demand side instead. People may be asking if it's possible to do things in a way that does not require coding at all. Not no-code, more like no-computer. World ran on humans filling out paper forms up until recently.

Wondering the same!

What if "getting stuff done" ends up being more like "subvert the system and redefine my job to be whatever I want it to be"?

Why was their Twitter account suspended?

Question is whether those devices would be better off using brushless DC or some other DC motor? Tesla uses a switched reluctance motor (basically stepper motor) instead of induction motor on their low end vehicles for example.

Will we see an intelligence too cheap to meter?

I think the author is referring to a somewhat different personality type. While wet noodles will ask you to basically do their job for them, there is another personality that has a confrontational, zero-sum perspective where they are constantly trying to dominate other workers.

I've experienced it firsthand, and I eventually found a term for it: a "high conflict" personality [1]. There are a few ways google says you can deal with these personality types, the main one being: do not interact with that person.

Seems natural to lock the cursor to the map grid (think: Advance Wars). But that is probably easier said than done.

Black is right letter right spot. Green is right letter wrong spot.

The use case for 10BASE-T1S isn't quite clear to me. I get that you can do multidrop ethernet, which would simplify things a lot; no need to add switches or daisy chain anymore. And it's also not too slow, and you only need two wires.

But are microcontrollers with ethernet common? How cheap are they? A MAC needs a lot of pins compared to CAN which will increase footprint. And to really take full advantage of ethernet, you need a good networking stack and a solid set of utilities and applications on top. So Linux is the way to go in that case. But then you need a big processor with external RAM, eMMC, PMIC, several layer board, and don't forget a couple of Linux weirdos (speaking as one) who can actually develop in that environment. A lot of embedded guys can understand CAN pretty easily; show them gRPC and their heads may explode.

So I guess the use case is: embedded system with a lot of Linux boards that don't need that much bandwidth? Does that accurately reflect the architecture of a modern car?

Also, for the cost of adding motors, would the money be better spent on buying more fixed solar panels instead?

Did not know that second part!

One thing that is not known to everyone and therefore may come as a surprise to some is that corporations (in the US) are taxed on profit, not on income. This is the explanation to the click baity titles like "Amazon paid less tax than you this year!" etc. So any profit a company makes is basically the same as writing a check to the government; more likely, it would be better spent growing the business. Any kind of growth company should have a goal of making close to zero profit.

Honda Insight?

Intel Upgrade Service?

My only gripe with gRPC is that there is no way to integrate it into a foreign event loop. I'm a big fan of single threaded event driven architecture ( I mostly do embedded work)

Sphex wasp story sounds like JIT supply chains. Maybe AI doesn't have far to go after all?

With FSD?

Sounds great, until you need a fire department, police department, medical services, schools for the children of your employees, etc.

Was the Bot reveal any worse than Asimo from Honda in 2000?

I've found that a lot of "logic" problems on standardized tests like the LSAT or whatever are really just puzzles that force you to permute through the problem space and apply rules. I was able to do this pretty quickly when I discovered Prolog (very bored during covid). I've become convinced that there is likely at least one person employed in writing these tests that generated these questions with the same technique.

Health insurance is more expensive for smokers generally. Why not antivaxers too?

I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't know about code coverage tools until about Year 10 of my career, mostly embedded C and C++ where things seem to move slowly with regards to adapting modern best practices.

There is actually code coverage support built into GCC, called gcov. It works really well for C and C++ projects (and theoretically any language with a GCC frontend?)

With mass adoption of TPMs maybe there will be a serious effort to finally move away from text passwords?

I submitted some changes a couple years ago and something named "Hulk Robot" at Huawei found my change didn't build with a certain kernel config, and sent a patch to fix. I think there's a lot of distributed checking going on even if kernel.org doesn't have an official pipeline or unit testing.

The merger closed a few days ago, that should have been the news

For the sake of the university's reputation the principal investigator's employment with the institution must be terminated.

Isn't that tantamount to making the minimum $15.01? What's the point?

So it's like the opposite of a catalytic converter in a car?

Not unusual, look at tetanus. The tetanus toxin is so potent that the amount that can kill you isn't enough to generate an immune response, so even if you manage to survive there's no guarantee you won't get it again as you'll have no protection. The vaccine on the other hand generates a much stronger response than the real disease.
