I am the author of the Wikipedia essay "Wikipedia has Cancer". For the record, I would prefer that this thread have the same title as my essay. The replacement title("Wikimedia Foundation's runaway spending growth") only tells part of the story. My essay is not only about spending, but also on the lack of transparency, the dependence on revenues increasing exponentially with no plans for dealing with a downturn, the spectacularly poor quality of the software that we are spending millions on, and the deceptive banners asking for donations. Please restore the original title.

Right, and outside a few very narrow domains that are helped by the bolted-on concurrency, Go generally fails to deliver on those presumptions, for the same reasons that Java wouldn't if it were invented when Go was.

I took the article to be the counterpoint to the uninhibited praise of TF. In that light, I don't think it was meant as a balanced assessment of the whole product, but had a narrow scope of simply pointing out a handful of flaws that he thinks isn't discussed enough.

It's the same feeling when you hate a movie that everyone gives five stars: you might agree with some aspects of the praise (or even most of it), but that's not what you're going to be talking about. You'll talk about how and why it sucks compared to better movies.

I'd guess he could make a strong pro-TF argument if desired, but that just wasn't the point of this post.
Worth noting: article is from 2014. It's unfair to ask it to cite trends that started after the date of publication (and likely after the finalization of the research, which probably dates closer to 2012, the cited end date in the article).

I hear the stand-in-line-as-a-service industry is growing as well. Anyone with a lot of free time can get paid to stand in line. It’s great! Who wouldn’t want such a bright future?
i did this at .. i think 32.

i'm glad i did, i did't go to undergrad, so I got to learn algorithms and theory and some other things. completely unprepared for the social reality of being a student at an associate professors age. its also pretty difficult looking at some of the material from the perspective of a commercial developer.

in your case it depends alot on whether or not you want to work on the physics side or the code side. if its the former your choice is pretty clear, if its the latter I think you'd be surprised at how starved HPC is for talent of any kind. if you're already in the US lots of labs hire pretty junior people and there is a fair amount of room you can grow just on your own inertia. there are also alot of fairly junior positions in industry in sales engineering and related roles doing benchmarks. if you show an interest there is room there also to grow into at least maintenance development.

again, if you are in the US - LBNL/NERSC/UCB is a great place to do work in adaptive grids. see if you can meaningfully get employed in some support role and pivot. they are also really nice people and would love to let you grow into a role.

another advantage of working as staff, even junior staff at a university or associated lab is that you get access to courses as a non-matriculated student. that way if you do want to take grad level scientific computing or analysis or discrete time domain pde solutions everyone is perfectly happy for you to go to class free from 2-3 MWF

anyways, if you're sure that fluids is your future, maybe just try to cut to the chase a little. hope you are ok with fortran though.

If the accident was in 1982, I don't think attributing it solely to events at its construction in the 1960s is fair.

Construction issues could have been recognize and addressed in any of the intervening ~20 years.

And yes, chasing parity with the US did lead to unsustainable Soviet military GDP allocations, ultimately empowering Gorbachev with an economically- rather than ideologically-derived mandate and thus leading to the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

It's a fair argument as to whether or not this was intentionally engineered, but it's a fact that the Soviets spent roughly twice as much of their GDP on their military, and that the Soviet Union eventually collapsed for economic reasons.

It is OO garbage. The giveaway is "Provider". The ball of mud that is OO inevitably necessitates enlisting an army of services, proxies, factories, builders and managers simply to work around the complexities of OO. Even if you have a simple problem OO tends to make it complex.
I am the author of the essay "Wikipedia has Cancer". I did put a lot of effort into documenting my claims, and I would encourage anyone interested in clicking on the links in the essay. In particular, I have documented what others have said about Wikipedia financials, and some of those pages are rather good.

Whether you agree with me or not, I would ask everyone to keep an eye out for any factual errors so that I can correct them.

ok, so 4 pools have over 50% of the hashing power, add 4 more pools right under them and you're at >70%. (https://blockchain.info/pools).

if that's not centralized I don't know what is.

the only argument I can think of here is that BTC isn't currently used for "important"/"mission critical" stuff, tx volumes are negligible compared to fiat methods of payment and ppl who use it are mostly crypto enthusiasts, so if hypothetically these pools go offline and it takes forever for their txs to be processed these users would be ok with that. Along the lines of what happened couple of years ago during the DDOS attack.

You don't have to like it (most ideas guys" wont).But you do need to acknowledge it's inevitable financial truth.

If you don't have ideas that someone else buys, you'll remain the person with all the ideas and none of the money.

(And if your ideas are "heroic", it will 100% take a hero to fund them...)

I really like that phrase, because it takes the "conventional startup wisdom" that "ideas without execution are worthless" to the next and obvious-to-outsiders step - even a well executed idea than nobody will pay for - is, by definition, worthless.

Yeah, 750,000 (or 70,000) really pales in comparison to the number of documented Mexicans in the US. In other words, this just reinforces my understanding that there is no great trend, that the stat is certainly true but woefully out of context and not indicative of any great trend.

I'm also not sure how 750,000 'grew to more than 70,000.'

Let's be honest, really. America has lots of faults but people are still dying to get here and we absolutely don't have a problem getting more people to move here or with retaining local talent. There are about 12,000,000 documented Mexicans living or working in the US.

Related (but slightly OT) question: has anyone ran into any issues when using either 1) a single Yubikey for both U2F and SSH authentication or 2) multiple Yubikeys simultaneously on the same machine (i.e., one for U2F, one for SSH)?

For SSH authentication, I use Yubikeys (and only Yubikeys) everywhere: my workstation at home (I WFH 99% of the time), my primary laptop, and a "backup" laptop. Each of these machines has its own "dedicated" Yubikey that I use to authenticate to remote SSH servers (a "Nano" that is left plugged in 24/7). I also use these (with challenge/response) to unlock encrypted LUKS volumes (containing ZFS pools) at boot, FWIW.

I would like to begin using U2F (AFAICT, U2F support should be coming to Firefox soon, if it hasn't already; running FF57 Developer Edition here), preferably with these same Yubikeys I am already using for SSH. If there are any issues, however, I'm fine with using a separate Yubikey just for the U2F side of things (I have a few U2F-only Yubikeys laying around as well).

Basically, I want it to be as easy/convenient as possible and, before I begin to attempt this, I'm just curious if anyone else is already doing this and, if so, what their experiences were and any issues they may have encountered. In theory, it should all just work but, in reality, well, who knows. TIA!
Like he tacks on at the end of the article, the reason most care about TensorFlow is because of TensorBoard making most of this a moot point. People would code while being hung upside down as long as they still get TensorBoard.

i love automation. there is something to be said for automated food. not only can money and time be saved, but there are other benefits as well. for example, storing the raw ingredients in your home can allow you to stockpile food for much longer than you could if you only bought the finished product. i have several food grade buckets filled with whole wheat flour and i enjoy freshly baked bread almost every day. with a few gamma lids (screw-top lid accessory for standard 5 gallon food grade buckets), and about 10% of my (normal sized) freezer space, i am able to eat fresh bread every day for five months without ever going to the store. with a bread machine, making the bread only requires a few seconds of my time. and the savings are unreal. perhaps im a little odd, but i would very much like to have some kind of system in my home where i could buy non-perishable food stuffs and store them in mass quantity, and simply press a button to turn them into a meal ready to eat.
What if it is 90% automated? As other pointed out, see Django REST Framework, Rails, Elixir, Scala Play, and enterprisey frameworks like SAP, Odoo, JDEdwards, Oracle Whatever™, ENOVIA, Windchill, etc.

Those tools/frameworks cater for the accidental complexity of "writing CRUD stuff". Remains the essential complexity of what makes your app what it is. The business logic for YourBusiness is not Uber's, is not Greenpeace's, is not Pfizer's, is not Ford's. The logic may be mundane, but that doesn't change there's nothing "natural" to it, so it has to be expressed, and that's what we do using code and the tools at hand.

As for the percentages: sometimes it's gory and you do everything by hand (where you manually and painstakingly write yourself 50% of this non-essential, non-value-added 90% accidental complexity due to lack of tooling), then by all means go grab a few shiny shiny tools for the next project, and some other times you do have tooling to cover these 90%; remain questions to be asked to your users, specs to derive, and code to write.
My local coffee place has humans who operate an espresso machine, while Starbucks has baristas who push a button, and there are vending machines that produces espresso without having an operator. None of this excites a moral panic. Kitchen labor-saving devices have been being invented for hundreds of thousands of years. What's new?

Think about wheat. Wheat used to be ground in stone mills operated by oxen or wind or water, which is much more labor-intensive than today's mills. Before that, the grinding process was even more labor-intensive.
I am the author of the Wikipedia essay "Wikipedia has Cancer". The previous discussion led to a version of my essay that was published with my permission in the Wikipedia Signpost. That version was dumbed-down a bit by the signpost editors, In particular they removed most of the references that document that my claims are factual. This version is the version I keep updated as errors are found.

For the record, I prefer that this thread have the same title as my essay. The current title misses several important aspects of my essay, such as transparency and the dependency on revenues always increasing.
Why Aren’t Wages Rising Faster Now That Unemployment Is Lower?
The US's high living standard is due to all the cheap crap it can import. You can't just slap super-high tariffs on China, because the manufacturing will just move elsewhere. You'd have to slap tariffs on almost all the high-population countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Such a hostile trade environment would rebound on the US, and it'd suffer more.

The problem isn't really that the manufacturing jobs have been given to the cheap countries, it's that the US is okay with the top quintile grabbing all the money for themselves (probably because 'freedom')

> as someone approaching middle-age, I would be taking my classes more seriously than many students 10 years younger than me.

I've been to the CS departments at Stanford, Harvard, MIT, CalTech, and the like. The competition is brutal. For every student that's slacking off there is another doing everything they can to keep their 4.0 GPA.

Don't kid yourself that your fellow students won't be taking their classes incredibly seriously.

> The path of least resistance to getting $BIG_CORP on your resume is by interning as a student. It's easier to get in that way than as an experience developer, where you'll be evaluated more harshly.

I promise you this isn't true. Google gets around 50,000 applications for 1,500 internships. That's a 3% acceptance rate. You will be competing for internships against wunderkinds who have been coding all their life. Have you asked yourself what you would do if you spent several years getting a CS degree and didn't get the internship you were looking for at a big tech company? Because that's statistically the most likely outcome.

You say you've had interviews and failed: do you think a CS degree would help you pass? Because having been in hundreds of technical interviews I can say that most of the things being tested can be picked up in a few months of prep.

Networking is more than taking a business card. It's building relationships, friendships, and connections. It is hard work, and not everyone can do it. If you do go back to school, I would absolutely concentrate on building as many of these connections as you can.
It is true that earnings management is an issue. The histogram of earnings % shows a discontinuity when earnings are negative but approaching zero, [1] which shows that managers will artificially inflate earnings to show a positive earnings per share.

But I find the idea of short-term-ism in managing profits a little counter to the goals of managers. Presumably, managers are motivated to stay in the job and make more money for themselves, and would do a calculation between short term and long term investment.

>>> “It concerns us that, in the wake of the financial crisis, many companies have shied away from investing in the future growth of their companies,” Laurence Fink, the chairman and CEO of BlackRock

This may be related to the complexity of driving returns that exceed the cost of capital by a sufficient amount, one that would be within the range that the company and their shareholders find palatable.

If people think that these companies should not be buying back their stock and instead invest them in growth opportunities, maybe this means that these opportunities exist for others to take advantage of. But the author does not mention that other companies do that. It somehow places the risk and responsibility of investing in the company that has the cash.

I think the issue is researches who spend too much time [2] sitting at their fancy desks and protected by grants or tenure. Maybe they should leave and actually go out there and start a company.

Using a clustered/distributed filesystem definitively simplifies persisting the state between EC2 spot instances. It also makes it easier to scale out the work load when you need more instances accessing the same data. To add to your list: there is also ObjectiveFS[1] that integrates well with AWS (uses S3 for storage, works with IAM roles, etc) and EC2 spot instances.

Not the person you responded to, but I think that the point of the analogy was to illustrate that information can be used in unanticipated ways. Shifts in politics have frequently resulted in the persecution of formerly innocuous people and groups (see McCarthyism). Greater and greater data processing and storage will inevitably be turned against various targets. While we can’t prevent that entirely, we can at least have a forward view when making decisions at present.
The crypto nightmare to come
> The salad cook is just another in the long line of manual jobs that can be done quicker, better, cheaper by a robot.

Allow me to be sentimental for a moment. I agree that some jobs, perhaps even most, can be done "better" by a robot. At least, if we're defining better as more cheaply or "to spec". However, when I go to a nice restaurant, I go because I enjoy the Chef's style, their ability to express their art through cooking. Sure, a robot could do something like that, especially at chains like Burger King, but for my personal incentive to dine at a restaurant, it's unlikely a robot could do a "better" job than a human chef.

That said, you're right, we need to avoid the foolishness of passing the buck when asking "what will our children do?" We can't agree on social issues now, how the hell will we agree when even more people are unable to contribute meaningfully?
