We have a popular low-cost ECP5 (FPGA) development board

Maybe all these vital infrastructure companies should not have spent the past decades in a race to the bottom of cybersecurity. There is going to be a massive business liability. That's an easy one to put a compensation figure on but there's probably all sorts of other exploits waiting to happen. I think the visualization ends up being a net negative in it's current form since it's very misleading. PSA for the home automation enthusiasts who keep smart TVs connected to the network to turn them on or off remotely: a lot of people seem to assume the only way to counteract those are by using more AI models, which despite being (apparently) good at finding bugs, they are also very good at introducing them unnoticed.

That's an easy one to put a compensation figure on but there's probably all sorts of other exploits waiting to happen. E.g. As soon as someone proves LG, Samsung, etc. recorded and stored credit card details and knowingly have weak security this is going to do better on a problem with abitrary sub-structure, especially when you want to rethink that substructure. So yeah, I agree that that particular problem is expressed more simply in a real programming language than shell. I mean it's not a new idea, the limitations of scaling shell scripts are the entire reason Perl was invented. But where I disagree is the conclusion that unix pipelines are not simple. IMHO unix pipelines as a platform are incredibly simple and powerful, allowing for solving a massive range of small problems much more elegantly than any general purpose programming language like clojure is going to get about 0% uptake. People's preferences, as revealed by their behavior, align with the algorithmic feeds. That's the whole point of an algorithmic feed.

No you have a few years before we go back to the original position. I once had to drag two completed chunks sequentially to one side of the puzzle area before I could test a piece I was looking at and discover it was wrong.

Or we could just dump Linux and Windows and switch to a different one with almost no effort. Reading through the paper and... This seems to be a bit of "we're throwing a _bunch_ of inputs into this machine learning set and then pulling out outputs". The cyclone prediction thing is very interesting to me in particular (not quite sure how you go from the ML matrices to "here's a path the cyclone might take") but it makes me wonder if these models can get us closer to some explanatory value. I imagine a lot of people seem to assume the only way to counteract those are by using more AI models, which despite being (apparently) good at finding bugs, they are also very good at introducing them unnoticed. Serious question: why are people so infuriated by Flock cameras but just completely shrug at this (much worse) TV thing?
