My first degree was in Japanese, mostly because I already knew how to program and had, since I was a home computer kid, been doing so for years. I did a Japanese major because Japan looked like it was going to take over the world in 1989, especially in technology. It was a foolish, foolish decision.

However, it gave me a ton of exposure to the 5th generation project, and this article is a wonderful reminder of how crazy it was, though it doesn't quite capture the insane hype around the whole thing.

There's an excellent, if imperfect, book called "The Fifth Generation Fallacy" by JM Unger (who, in a weird circumstance that makes me think the writers of our narrative are just plain lazy, a few years later, became the head of the Japanese department I was in) that talks about the project in terms that I think make quite a lot of sense.

The book talks about it, but I go even further: the 5th gen project was about Japanese beliefs about information technology and specifically that Japanese was such a complex language that the only way to have working IT was to have an intelligent machine.

Japan was still using pencils and xerox machines in the aftermath of the PC revolution in the US and Europe (in practice, this continued into the mid-90s), and had missed mainframes and minis entirely. The idea of a statistically-driven, convenient, modern input mechanism (what people use now when they use an IME, these started to show up in the mid-90s when enough of a corpus was analyzed to make them work) was not there yet; Japanese word processors of that era are incredibly cumbersome and terrible, just barely usable and not usable at all by large swaths of the work force. Japan was absolutely terrified of the technological progress in the rest of the world and a lot of it had (and has) to do with the simple inconvenience of the writing systems and the linguistic isolation.

In the cultural context, especially of the bubble that formed at the same time, and no small amount of vaguely racist beliefs about their superiority (especially linguistic, which had been going on for a very long time and played a role in Japanese relations and eventual behavior post-annexation of Korea), the 5th gen project makes perfect sense.
Have you considered getting an Arduino board and doing some self-directed learning?

You don't need to do an online course. There are heaps of tutorials online and simple examples. You'd be coming up to speed on embedded systems and then use that + your professional experience to land a more interesting job. It should take you less than a year and perhaps a $100 or so to accomplish.

Yes, BootOS very much in the same space as MS-DOS, although leaning even further on the "less-is-more" axis. It does the same basic things (though I suppose it doesn't do the BASIC thing).

Interestingly, there is modern OS in the same space. That's UEFI. Unti I played with it a few months ago, I thought it was some mysterious firmware-adjacent black-box. But actually it's just an OS, very similar to DOS (though it runs in protected mode).

It has a shell and some basic built-in commands including text editors and such. And most importantly it lets you run executables that a stored on a FAT (well, FAT32) filesystem.

The name BootOS could very well describe UEFI. And equally, a slightly more capable version of BootOS could serve as (very underpowered) UEFI replacement.
Cool tool! Congratulations on your launch and good luck! :-)
What does any of this have to do with innovation, the topic of the thread? There are lots of very successful companies that don't release innovative consumer products. My point isn't that Apple is a bad company, it's not that other companies are 'better' companies. It's simply that the kind of 'home run' innovation for which Apple is famous has been missing for the last decade. The Apple Watch is a great product, it's very successful. I just don't think it was innovative the same way other Apple products have been.

But let's say it is. Going back to my original question (which I've been roundly downvoted for having the temerity to even ask): if Apple stopped innovating, would they still be the same company we love? Would fans still be so emotionally invested that they reflexively attack anyone who publicly criticizes the company, however obliquely?
There were paid search engines in the 90's. I don't recall the names. Maybe the fact I don't remember the name says it all!
Ask HN: What burning problem are you trying to solve right now?
If you're bored because you're churning out many applications with the same structure, can you write a framework or platform to solve the entire structure? That is the classic challenge to a bored programmer.

Do your business processes involve any matching/optimization? Fraud/anomaly detection? Geospatial datasets? Visualizations? Predictions? These are all opportunities to do some other-than-CRUD programming.

Coursera, Khan Academy, and similar websites are surprisingly good at plugging educational gaps.
I was disabled by bad surgery and lost my career. No system that ostensibly should have helped, did. Denied. Denied. Denied. YEARS of adversarial, not default helpful, meetings and challenges and interviews. I saw people worse than me refused help. I saw real time as people who knew me for years or life, who respected me and my career choice helping others, decided I was a lazy mooch who wasn't trying hard enough, was somehow responsible for my situation, and needed to "take responsibility" but nobody could describe WHAT that meant or HOW to do it. It was all so soul crushing and and literally ruined my life and future. I didn't do it. It was done to me. But blame and dismissal is easier for people.

Contrast that with a former friend who had a similar medical issue in Europe. He wasn't bankrupted by medical costs, had social support for basic living as he was treated and recovered long term, had social education which allowed him to go back to university and obtain useful skills for his new situation. He now has a thriving business and as full a life as anyone could expect. Because he had help and options when he needed them in the beginning. Having that help and those options also made it easier for him to hold into his relationships because he was able to stay IN life and move forward. People can only take so much loss.

Yeah I resent it. I resent being born here where I hear how amazing it is every day and how Europe is a socialist dystopia (I've lived there, the people telling me this have not and I'd happily fufill their "get out of you don't like it" wishes if I could) and the usual middle American beliefs, but we don't even have the most basic of social protections. I resent being blamed. I resent that even seeing this happen people still decided just what the Murican culture told them to decide about me because its easier to live with ones own fears that way. I resent having my life end in such a miserable and painful mess when I earned more and did what I was supposed to.

America has a real empathy problem. People won't treat others as they wish to be treated when they are in need. Being poor is an infection and they avoid you. It's not a need they reach out to solve. And being poor is very expensive. A society of individualists is no society at all.
Adding capacitance to a "linear" driver design is one way to reduce modulation, with some tradeoffs. There are other power supply designs, such as switch-mode and several variations of "constant current" drivers, which could reduce modulation at a higher cost. Adjusting the frequency also plays a role in mitigating perceived flicker.

In higher-end drivers, you'll often see a hybrid approach, such as constant current between 5 and 100% and PWM below 5%. Drivers with deep dimming down to 0.1% are just using 10-bit PWM. This would be difficult to do in a bulb form factor.

I haven't seen any meaningful research into the persistence of various phosphors. It's an interesting thought. My guess is that there could be some effect, but usually we would just try to improve the power electronics.

Ah yes, you’re right. I had completely forgotten about this, simply because I haven’t used it. But yeah, it’s a big annoyance for a lot of people.
If you use a "silver bullet", you are almost guaranteed to get into the class, as it puts you at the top of the line. This is a way to ration the highly desirable classes.
I may be confused here, but I don't think UEFI includes a shell — although there's a shell called UEFI-Shell which you can install on your hard disk and run under UEFI — and I think UEFI doesn't have any way to enter machine code from the keyboard. In fact, I think even UEFI-Shell doesn't have any way to enter machine code from the keyboard; is that true? Also, am I mistaken about the status of UEFI-Shell?

So, although I am not planning to switch my laptop to running BootOS, I think there are some significant things BootOS can do that UEFI can't.

"the Army wasn't organizationally crafted around or trained for amphibious assaults against defended beaches."

So Normandy wasn't defended? Normandy made Peleliu and Tarawa look like a piece of cake.

The Army also developed amphibious doctrine and training on its own with the ATC. It could be argued that Marine doctrine was flawed; Marine units lacked the logistical support for longterm conflicts. Army units did a better job of sustained operations. Amphibious assaults involved more than seizing a beachhead, especially with well entrenched Japanese troops.

And to be clear, Army units weren't "co-mingled" with Marine units, except at corp level. Army units operated in divisions.

Fundamentally, the Army had more troops in the Pacific, did more amphibious landings, arguably against tougher defenses, yet the Corp PR machine would have you think the Marines did it all by themselves. How many people even know the Army fought on Guadalcanal?
When I was a child I read picture story books which taught me that this was the purpose of police - to help citizens. They showed old ladies being helped across the road by humble bobbies and exhorted me to seek the nearest policeman if I ever became lost.

In adulthood it didn't take too many encounters with actual police to realise that they don't see their purpose the same way AT ALL.

Listen, UNAM is one of Latin America's greatest universities, and Mexico City is highly industrialized, but Mexico City is like Milwaukee or Houston or Albuquerque or Buenos Aires, not like Sunnyvale or Boston or Singapore or Shenzhen. If you're a hacker in Mexico City, you're gonna be pretty isolated by comparison to a hacker in a tech hub, and you're swimming against the tide of a corrupt and technically incompetent government in the same way you would be in Houston, a way that you won't be in Sunnyvale or Boston.

I'm well aware that people in Mexico City aren't illiterate paupers. That's not what I was saying, man. But you're going to have a hell of a time launching a new kind of laptop in Mexico City, and that's what they were trying to do.

The story of the very beginning of Oracle is also illustrative, court judgements notwithstanding.
I think people today have a very hard time understanding what things were like during the Japan bubble from about 1987 to 1990. Coming out of the 1970s Japan ended up dominating certain parts of the electronics - and especially personal electronics, like radios or portable cassette players. They had terribly failed in _information technology_ however, but most people didn't know that, what they saw was walkmen, MITI coordinating wiping out American DRAM and television producers using dumping (among other things) and so on.

Another important event was that the US dollar was very high in the mid-1980s (Reagan deliberately de-valuing the dollar was frequent discussion on the morning news). A side effect of this was the transfer of investment to other shores, and Japan being the primary beneficiary. BOJ dropped interest rates a great deal and a speculative asset and property bubble was launched. This culminated in the purchase of many, many high-profile assets in the United States by the Japanese keiretsu and banks.

The Japanese were in a mania, and a lot of investors world-wide were as well, and the Americans, in particular, were experiencing a kind of crisis of faith in US-style capitalism.

Like most bubbles (try explaining the dotcom), it is very hard to make someone understand what happened. You can recount the facts but not the emotional context.

> No, their model is fine. Sell a decent product for money.

The problem is how much of their model is built on giving away their product for free, they want all the benefits of being open and free to access (in googles index, shared on sites like HN) but they also want to be closed to non-subscribers, the two are mutually exclusive and they need to pick one.

Ragging on things that failed with the benefit of hindsight is a good way to sound smart. I have never liked that genre much.

5gen failed but Apollo, the Manhattan Project, DARPANet, the Bell Labs transistor project, and SpaceX reusable boosters (for a contemporary example) succeeded. This piece argues that the ambitious megaproject successes were more decomposable but I find this rationale to be an unconvincing post-hoc just-so story.

The conclusion I draw when I look over the history of innovation is that it's like a rare animal that almost never mates in captivity or one of those exotic fungi we can barely culture. We know how to set up conditions where innovation can happen: get smart people, provide capital, give them an ambitious but not impossible goal. Beyond this it's serendipity. Sometimes the muse pays a visit and sometimes it doesn't. The dynamics seem almost identical to what you see in art and music, and I don't think that's coincidence. Science and engineering are perhaps more like the arts than we tend to think.

5gen probably would never have achieved all its goals, but it might have achieved something really notable had the muse chosen to pay a visit.

I downloaded one PDF and looked at its properties. It says it was created with LuraDocument PDF v2.28. Googling, it is a product of LuraTech Imaging GmbH. Following that search leads to a link that redirected to Foxit.

They have an enterprise PDF compression toolkit which clearly supports all the advanced compression schemes of PDF, but it is too rich for me: prices are not given, just a button to ask for a quote. There is a personal PDF tool for $129 but they don't make clear if it also supports their top quality PDF compression.
