My guess would be that their point is: It's not good that those things are in Windows at all, and it's even worse that you have to dig around to disable them. I'd certainly agree there.
Unless your machine is branded as vPro it most likely means that it simply lacks the FW part to run AMT. So it will have the ME in the chipset, it might as well have the correct CPU and NIC for vPro (usually the NICs with M for management in the model name), but it's missing the firmware.

Outside of OEM machines the only time I managed to build a vPro enabled system was in Haswell times when Intel had desktop motherboards with the correct chipset and NIC combination, and the BIOS to run it. Right around that time Intel exited the motherboard business and most manufacturers don't bother with shipping the firmware anyway.
That's just because AMD is the underdog and it not as well studied as Intel. Given the same scrutiny I'd wage it would be as bad as Intel.
Quantum computing won't require much extra power that python can't provide, the only heavy processing will be circuit generation which is (as far as we can see at the moment) fine to use python for.

In the sort term though there's a big place for languages like C, C++ and Rust for things like simulations which need to be done

I strongly disagree. I use my tablet for painting and sketching, composing music, and sometimes a bit of writing. These devices are amazing for content creation.

They’re currently not good at programming, which is a small subset of content creation. This problem plagued personal computers for a long while as well. For example, Apple’s Lisa could only be programmed by attaching it to a second Lisa (which was extremely expensive). Being able to program your computer with itself wasn’t always common.

These are early days still. Tablets will get there some day. It’s a techical problem, and technical problems have techical solutions. Give it time.
I can attest that flick-method typing is fantastic for Japanese. I'm over 100 WPM typing in English, so using standard romaji-phonetic input on a keyboard is still the fastest for me, but flick-typing is bar-none the best option for a touch-screen.

You don't even have to bother with using the modifier button (for the ゛or ゜markers) because the prediction will guess what you meant. It's much easier than even typing my native English as far as phone input goes.
yeah seriously. the hashids people are very clear about what a terrible idea it is to think that hashids are secure in any way. fine, do a cryptographic analysis, but don’t suggest you’re actually saving people from some false claim or implication about security.

> I think you have an idealized view of how most people use PCs.

I don't think that he has an idealized view per se. It is rather that people who bring up such arguments often are surrounded by similar minded people, which is some kind of echo chamber. So people who bring these arguments actually have observed lots of people using their PC/smartphone. Unluckily this "lots of people" sample is strongly biased towards their echo chamber.
My mother told me she saw a baby using a smartphone. He was swiping, typing, zooming etc.. The mother of the baby said he was 16 months old.

So I can believe in a few years kids will grow up used to smooth phone/tablet type keyboards and not the physical type.

This is absolutely incredible.
Large whiteboard with a 100 day mind map of goals. Daily journal structured to write out what I'm doing towards each goal that day, then daily 1 min video check in repeating those goals along with a general assessment of how I'm feeling/things I'm thinking about. Has been transformative to do things this way.
The times I look back on my life that bring me the most happiness are the times I pushed myself to my limits.

Now you have to deal with all the issues of the traditional IT world (devops, cloudflare, vpns, containerization, cloud hosting configuration, load balancers, dns configuration, etc) AND all the issues of the new blockchain world (contract security, gas fee metering, block limits, replay attacks, etc)

...the saving grace of a "real" blockchain architecture is that at least most of the traditional IT issues go away.

That's quite a conspiracy theory you got there. Things like these make people look at AMD again.
"Conversation is impossible if one side refuses to acknowledge the basic premise that facts are facts. This is why engaging deniers in such an effort means having already lost."

So because one side utters "facts" and that is therefore adequate to silence and shut out the other side from having a voice.

History is an opinion, a shared narrative that has truth and objectivity... but nonetheless is an interpretation of events by fallible human beings.

If facts were self evident, then it would not have taken so long to discover penicillin (mouldy bread was around for a very long time). It took an opinion, an interpretation of mouldy bread to convert it to medicine.

Soon we will see such things as "wage gap deniers" being attacked as misogynistic.

Soon we will see anyone who questions the "good of minimum wage" be seen as "poverty deniers".

And they will sweep it all away and silence opposition by waving the "facts are facts" truism!.

Imagine the level of intellectual hubris of proclaiming: X is X! And magically vanishing your opponents and then throwing them in jail because "X".

Terrifying.
> most every small town in Ontario is car-centric.

I don't know that I agree. I live in a small Ontario town. Pop. ~2,000. I don't ever feel the need to drive other than when leaving town to visit people who live outside of town. Everything I need on a day-to-day basis is easily walkable.

> What I want is a hipster small town, built around bikes and walkability. Close enough to a lake to be fun, but not so close to make it all about "water life". I want a city where artists and computer scientists can both afford to be there.

I think you described the Ontario town I grew up in. Pop. ~1,000. Near the lake, hipster town that has a booming (relatively speaking) tech industry. The downside is that everyone wants to live in the kind of town you described, so housing there is now just about as expensive as Toronto. That includes me. I would love to go back. But the costs are tough to justify.

Alternate perspective - if I offer significant company shares to an engineer, I'd expect them to devote quite a lot of mental energy to the company

The reasoning is that a lot of the biggest breakthroughs happen with "ambient thought". It's the stuff you figure out while in the shower or while mowing the lawn.

If they're getting a 30% share or more, it's like a marriage. You can fantasize about side projects, but not devote significant effort chasing them. If you want to be doing side projects, you should be taking a lower cut and higher salary.

If it's around 10%-30%, you'd be expected to be at full energy overtime and put all side projects aside when needed. Side projects are okay as long as they don't get in the way.

At about 1%-10%, you could probably do one, but you'd be better off focusing on your job related project. It's probably a part of expectations too.

I've always thought that people misunderstood the power of remote working. The power is that it lets you live where you want to live while also letting you do the work that you want to regardless of where either is. We love country life. We live in a village of less than 400 people on 100 acres of land yet I work internationally in marketing and my wife is an engineer with a major aerospace company.

Some of my best friends also have jobs that allow them to live in the city they want to live (Tampa area) while working for companies in locations that they have no desire to live in (SF Bay area).

I've always felt that remote working was all about making the connection between the desired career and desired lifestyle where in the past if you wanted to work for major firm X you had to live THERE.

Awesome TUIs: List of projects that provide terminal user interfaces
The ordinary life cycle of an Intel CPU is the five t̶h̶r̶e̶e̶ year depreciation schedule in the US tax system. The life cycle for Intel's most important customers is less and is based on operating cost in large data centers and these are driven by density, throughput, and energy utilization. Traditionally this has been two years or less as reflected in Intel's tick-tock iteration strategy. The critical life cycle for Intel is not consumer/SMB sales which don't generate sales frequencies and volumes of leading edge products.
I'm waiting for the day where Node.js runs inside the CPU, downloads NPM packages, and then a left-pad happens. Mark my words.

Yeah, I was using the web demo, and it was fine, but more limited, so I tried the ssh version to check YouTube (my coworker said that was working) and got the error.

Obviously, I don't expect a free service like this to let me stream unlimited video. At first glance, I saw the demo server as the actual service, rather than seeing this as a tool to set up on your vpn. That eliminates the scaling issue and the privacy issues.
Nothing really, except for mindshare. Turns out, that's a huge factor that sadly cannot be overcome that easily (especially for organizations with less technically inclined people).

If you look at the big IT stories around OSS (e.g. LiMux; in Switzerland there was a similar story in Solothurn), you'll find that the reason for those failures usually comes down to people refusing to give OSS the benefit of the doubt, often combined with incompetent project management.
I understood that as suspend. It still works! Who wouldn't want infinite time for video games/hobbies while time was stopped.
The use case: you have more than a hundred machines emitting lots of monitoring data, much of which is uninteresting except in aggregate form. Instead of paying to store millions of data points and then computing the aggregates later, Veneur can calculate things like percentiles itself and only forwards those.

It also has a separate, related purpose as a statsd protocol transport. You run it on the statsd port and it receives standard (or DataDog-extended) UDP traffic, then it forwards metrics via TCP to another backend. This has reliability benefits when operating over a network that might drop UDP packets, such as the public internet.
Isn't this exactly what people understand the power of remote work to be? Sadly, most firms still don't think the (real or perceived) loss of productivity is a good deal for them, even if it is for their employees.

And some tidbits on goalsetting which I'd have liked 15 years ago...

Goals are
- SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results-oriented, Time-bound)
- written in present tense.
- stated in the positive.
- attached to an identity, or 'self-image'.
- expansive.

"I will own 30 apartments" (future tense) ->
"I own 30 apartments." (present tense) ->
"I am the owner of 30 apartments." (identity) ->
"I am the owner of 30 or more apartments." (expansive)

"I will quit smoking by July 31." (future tense) ->
"I quit smoking by July 31." ('quit' is negative)->
"I am free from cigarettes by July 31."

More important than the outcome, is how you see yourself. If you couldn't imagine yourself as a person achieving the goal, then it won't occur.

Who do you have to become, to achieve the goal?

Never leave the scene of plan without taking action.
After setting a goal, at least 1 crumb-sized action must be taken immediately. Who could you message, call, email...?
Except that hashing a block of memory is likely to be much faster than hashing individual fields once there are more than a couple fields.

IMO the right solution would be a special annotation on a struct that says “I want the logical value of this struct to uniquely determine the bytes of the struct’s in-memory representation.”

Of course, adding such an attribute without nasty edge cases may be tricky.
As one comment here this is certainly a discussion I'd enjoy continuing, but I find this response pattern of quote - one-liners, quote - one-liner, ... to be incredibly low effort and lacking in substance. If you can speak in any holistic fashion to try to make a coherent point then we can go that route.

In my opinion most of your one liners here are 'provably' (at least so much as social views can be proven) false, yet the effort required there to refute each one is probably not worth it. However, at the same time if you think any of these one liners would sufficiently encompass your worldview that compelling evidence to the contrary would change your opinion on matters then please do tell me which one it is.

For another intriguing hypothesis about some uses of "to do" see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do-support#Origins :

> This feature is rare or non-existent in other Germanic languages but common in Celtic ones like Welsh and Cornish. "Do" is also more common in Celtic Englishes than Standard English.[7] For this reason there is a hypothesis that English acquired do-support due to the influence of Celtic speakers on the spoken language.[8]

We have plenty of these in software. Eg, a "terminal"/"tty" comes from "teletype terminal", "core dump" comes from when main memory was stored in magnetic cores.
It depends on how expansive "we" is. I don't need or want it. You probably don't need or want it. Large data center operators want it because it saves time and money. Those are Intel's important customers. That's why it exists.
My thoughts exactly. Maybe Apple was a couple of steps ahead and added an amazing feature for the ever growing Chinese market. Who knows?

I don't think this is a US problem. Elementary school in US commonly uses computers a lot. My children had typing lessons in 1-3 grade, and standardized tests (both math and language arts) are done on a pc/chromebook where you're expected to type.

Sounds like you want Europe then.

The best thing about living here (coming from the 'states) is the density in the cities and towns. You can realistically have a town with a vibrant center full of cafes, bakeries, a bar/brasserie or three, and a grocery store in a town of a couple thousand people, all living within the area equivalent to 4 square city blocks.

Walk a few hundred yards the other direction and you'll find yourself in the countryside.

It's quite refreshing after living in an American suburb where you can drive in a straight line in any directions and pass nothing but Albertsons, Starbucks, Apartment Complex, Walgreens, Albertsons, repeat for 20 miles... without ever escaping into the country.

> Have schools stopped offering computer classes,

Many have stopped or at least severely cut back

> assuming that kids already know how to use them from their experience at home?

Partly this and partly budget cuts. Computer skills aren't on the standardized tests, so they are a "waste of time" like art and music and history and everything else that isn't on the test. So they are deemphasized.

Some schools with money for computers and a computer teacher will at least try to integrate it into their language instruction by doing exercises on the computer.
One way to think of it is that numbers are mainly used to solve problems by studying the behavior of subsets of them that have specific properties. Like "prime numbers", "square-free numbers", and "solutions to this given equation", etc., and the interesting feature of numbers in general is that they can embed multiple such concepts at the same time. This is helpful because you can find numbers that share multiple properties in order to bridge between otherwise unrelated problems -- it makes it easier to compose solutions of simpler problems into solutions for larger, more complex problems.

From that point of view, quaternions and octonions solve problems in the same way more common numbers do, they just have different sets of properties and so help solving a different set of problems. Of course, they can only do this if we study them well enough to have a sufficiently large suite of concepts and relations in our toolbox.

Why is it called a distributed operating system? Not sure if it can help deal or orchestrate with distributed resources?
I regularly have the same experience.

When I run into one, I optimistically assume I'd know if I needed it (but, unfortunately, it means I'm very unlikely to remember a specific package if I do eventually run into the problem.

If they don't already exist, maybe there's room in the universe for some README best-practices (like those floating around for writing commit messages, user stories, issue reports, etc.) that might nudge more maintainers to include at least one lucid example of a problem it could solve.
It doesn't have to have been a full-blown plan from years ago in order to be a viable strategy. Intel can choose planned obsolescence going forward today for selected products by not developing or releasing security patches.

The extent to which this particular strategic business option was discussed during the design phase of the ME is hard to know from the outside. Surely someone within Intel pointed out that the ME was inherently insecure, but as for all the consequences, who knows?
Depends on the kind of company and whether they are remote friendly or remote only.
