> Then assume I'm talking about taking a picture of every living room through the window whenever no one is there.

No. That's not my job to arbitrarily re-interpret what you said to give you a free pass for your disingenuous rhetoric.

> Let's recap: not eventhe government can do video surveillance of public places, streetview became opt in, the phone book is opt in.

The government CAN do video surveillance though. Both our governments do it. What varies is how its deployed and who has access.

Look, responsibility has to be exercised in all forms of data collection. But it's also the case that the light that shines out of your house is subject to public interpretation. Standing nude in your window facing a crowded street CAN be illegal in both our countries, as could placing a sign that says threatening things to passerbys. The trigger conditions for this vary between our countries, but they exist in both cases.

> Collecting such PII can be problematic.

COLLECTING PII is seldom the problem. Storing it or promptly and thoroughly deleting it is the challenge. You might argue that you shouldn't have collected it in the first place, and maybe that's true. But given the modern world where we have a rapidly expanding frontier of data analytics, it's actually difficult for real (re: not rhetorical trashbag arguments on HackerNews) people. Often times it's not obvious what PII is until later.

For example, there are people who claim that transactional data can be "anonymized". Do not believe these people; it is nearly impossible to anonymize transactional data. Even mixing users and attempting to delocalize vendor strings will not fix the problems.

It's not exactly the same thing, but the closest analogue I can think of is the old "Hall of Fame" list that Computer Gaming World magazine used to curate, back when that magazine was still a thing:

It'd be an interesting exercise to put together an annotated version of that list showing the current status of each title, including availability via GOG/Steam/Archive.org/etc.

> Eventually they're predicting. Then you can do things like ambient intelligence where you can provide services and you can provide products or experiences to people before they know they need it.

So, it's your friend...but it's also there to sell you stuff. But just think of it as your friend.

It sounds like they don't quite know what they're selling or how it's going to be useful to people (which they kinda admit). I could see getting utility from a VA that also suggests services for specific needs, but a friendship with "ambient intelligence" behind it figuring out how it's going to chum up its next product placement? If it's really a "true AI" why not sell it on that merit alone?
One thing I find disconcerting lately is that all of intels recent innovations appear to be on items that are very hard to buy as a solitary developer (Knights landing, Optane, FPGAs).

So you're designing a little board in KiCad and you want to add an LPC1768 to it to do some processing. You need to get a schematic representation and a physical footprint of the part into your CAD software. You could spend an hour carefully reading the datasheet and recreating all of the pins and landing pads, but this is the 21st century! You look at the manufacturer's website, SparkFun's part library, google a bit, and you can't find premade files for the part. So you go on InstaPart and pay $29 and someone at SnapEDA does the work for you and then releases the files for free. Now they're listed on the SnapEDA database for anyone to use, and you know that they're going to be correct.
I just watched it last weekend :-) Really nice sci fi movie, loved it when they played Space Odyssey 2001 music during takeoff!
Part of the problem was that Intel spent the late 90s hyping Itanium and VLIW as the future of computing. The idea wasn't obviously wrong – the ancestor (PA-RISC) was competitive at the time if expensive – but the heavy sales-pitch set them up for failure if they couldn't deliver and left both early vendors and purchasers feeling betrayed. Failing to hit volume cascaded to the later feature failures you mentioned since they never managed to catch up to the x86 world.

As far as the architecture goes, the main conclusion I draw is that VLIW was a plausible idea but failed because it overestimated the amount of instruction-level parallelism and perhaps because it assumed too much of compilers. The GPU world has massive parallelism, enormous market volume, and the toolchains are more advanced, but even there AMD went from the VLIW-style TeraScale design to a RISC-style Graphics Core Next to compete with nVidia's RISC-y Tesla. It definitely seems reasonable to ask whether VLIW is an evolutionary dead-end.

Detecting and adapting to volume isn't that big of a challenge in comparison to natural language processing. But if you mean something more subtle, like discretion or taboo...that's probably much harder than NLP.

Lookw great! I used many footprints from SnapEDA before.

In many cases I prefer to draw the schematic symbol myself though. I like organizing the pins in a way it fits nicely in the schematic. It takes a bit more time to start but it makes the schematic cleaner and easier to maintain.
Everything you just said are things people said about every iteration in the tablet market. Including the iteration to the iphone.

Imagine you wanted to build a spaceship out of lego but first needed to mould each block.

If you wanted to build a circuit board, you would need a digital model of each component, and these are often made from scratch because designers can't find one readily available. Likely someone at a nearby company, or even a nearby cubicle, has already made that model. So this wasted effort hinders innovation and is a huge productivity drain.

SnapEDA makes a huge database of these models available that hardware designers can drag-and-drop into their designs.

Please just stop labeling your next super cool algorithm an "AI".

I think Twitter is a complicated example: it thrived when they were building a product which the developers wanted to use personally, which included embracing ideas which other developers had made for their users.

The decline started when they started building what the VCs thought would be a winning lottery ticket: that was when they started closing the service and everything became focused the pitch to advertisers without enough balance on what their users might want.
The article also includes fluff about how the glasses captured the experience hiking like no other and assorted hype.

From what they promise I'd expect their team to be stacked with AI researchers, but it looks like just a CEO, a COO and a single PhD "advisor." Who's going to actually build all this? Maybe that's why their "careers" page shows that they are looking for everything from embedded systems to ML engineers.

Seems like either a money grab or an overly idealistic founding team happy to promise the world and figure out how to deliver it later.

Whenever I see "base64" mentioned in a security article, I get cautious.

The "split token" password reset is snake oil. Just store the hash of the token (ideally stretched like any password) in the database and mail the original token out. No need for "split tokens". A password reset token is a temporary password and should be treated like one.
This is not true. Quantum cryptography is frequently conflated with concepts that are not possible and don't make sense, but quantum key distribution is a legitimate area of research. In fact, it has already been experimentally implemented (Los Alamos, UCambridge, UGeneva, etc).

It might not be mature enough yet for widespread adoption, and it doesn't revolutionize all parts of a cryprosystem, but it is definitely progress in the narrower problems of key distribution and perfect forward secrecy for one-time pads.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you and what you mean is that the field has many people opportunistically using the term for marketing things that are not really quantum cryptography; if that's the case, I agree with you.

You're correct, honestly it seemed like Sony was expecting ALL the graphics work to be done on the SPU's. The whole design of the Cell Broadband Engine is basically one SMT PowerPC core (PPU) and a bunch of stream processors (SPU's). Considering their choice in an extremely weak GPU compared to the Xenos in the 360, a lot of games had to move a bunch of work off the GPU and write it for the SPU's instead (which were nowhere near as nice to work with, they couldn't just pull data from system memory without you passing a pointer to them that was translated to an address they could DMA from, and you couldn't just throw GL or RSX commands at them so you were stuck writing all the nitty gritty by yourself).

Indeed, this I believe is the key insight into the stunning success of the Manhattan project. The scientists worked pretty hard as soon as uranium fission and it's details were discovered, Frisch and Peierls critically got all the fast fission concepts right in 1940, see (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisch%E2%80%93Peierls_memoran... And Frisch's story is particularly interesting, see Rhodes' book, doing Christmas vacation with his aunt, who just happened to be the first physicist her back in Germany colleague sent his results to right then.... Vs., for example, again from Rhodes' book, a clerical mixup ruining the saving throw for the German effort, the Nazi political types got invitations for the wrong seminar, one on very technical stuff instead of the pitch for atomic stuff (which, if they'd done everything right, they could have pulled off, I think).

But it took a long time to light a fire under the American authorities, and it wasn't until the absolutely critical replacement of his name is a footnote in history with Groves that things really got rolling, on the industrial scale needed, and the scientists and engineers sufficiently focused on the design and execution of the bombs themselves (which for various reasons didn't end up being the afterthought some expected). And he of course picked Oppenheimer to lead that effort, which was opposed by most, albeit he was one of the few uncommitted physicists capable at that level.

These two men organized more than 100,000 people for the industrial production of the required fissionables (90% of the work per Wikipedia), and Grove's drive got those ready in time to forestall Operation Downfall. Heck, they went from the first real test to putting metal on target in 21 and 24 days....

And the design and fabrication of "the bomb" turned out to be massively harder than they expected due to weapons grade plutonium not being suitable for a gun assembly bomb (which is also grossly wasteful of fissionable, if the Little Boy is any guide, as I recall it had 3x critical mass, and a fair amount if it wasn't as pure U-235 as they'd have wanted). Making the implosion concept work was hard, and they got it right the first time....

Read Rhode's book, especially the latter half after the nuclear physics discoveries take a back seat (https://www.amazon.com/Making-Atomic-Bomb-25th-Anniversary/d...) and Grove's autobiography (https://www.amazon.com/Now-Can-Be-Told-Manhattan/dp/03068018...) to learn the organization and management details, they're amazing.

And had much wider effects on the world at large, that we could indeed do such things led to the Apollo program, and of course to too much conceit that "If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we [do something very different and a lot more intractable, probably without even a clearly defined goal]?"
