Not if the extra “free” money are covered by increased productivity due to automation, as it happened over the past decades. Typically the main beneficiaries from increased productivity are shareholders or company founders, and that is why money gets clogged in a few hands. Workers should also benefit more from from it as it is also their productivity that grew 10x along with that of the company. So we are not really talking about free money, we are talking about money you are entitled to anyway. Sure it is your company that invested in new tech to grow productivity, but it is the society as a whole that enabled it - try making robots or new tech in a society ridden by unemployment, inequality, civil unrest and so on. Furthermore, UBI would reduce corporate socialism and get us back to a free flow of capital, as the wealth would be fairly spread across society.

Agreed. If anyone wants to see some of the more successful DSP work being done today for pro or prosumer audio, I recommend checking out Strymon and Universal Audio products. Both make use of SHARC SoCs and achieve great results.
Can't agree, sorry. Hear the critique of the abstraction but there is a reason it exists, and to deny is to deny reality.

"Personal brand" is just another way of saying "personality, but online."

It is the nature of intelligence itself to distill and compress complex, messy stimulus/data/phenomena into shorthand. One must recognize that this is what people do when interacting with oneself, both f2f and online.

This is especially important now, given that digitally intermediated interactions will dominate the landscape for the duration of the epidemic.

People have all kinds of built-in ways of modulating their personality for f2f interactions. It is essential that they translate these to digital space.

It's much easier to write a report when you're told what conclusions to reach beforehand.
Every substantive viewpoint I've seen on the subject comes back to cashflow. Our national propaganda is so strong, that rather than the middle class asking "why do I have to go to work every day just to pay rent to the bank?", they've internalized the system so thoroughly that they're actually protesting to get back on the treadmill.
Perhaps the intent is to not be belittling, or, relatedly, not imply that something should be trivial for everyone.

If someone replied to me that I "just need to set up the Kafka consumer" I'd have no idea how to do that, and would potentially feel embarrassed about needing to ask for further information.
The comment about "not controlling for O2" is referring to the fact that the human body can't directly detect blood oxygen levels, and only infers them from blood CO2 levels. So if something's going wrong with the oxygen absorption process but the CO2 exhalation process is still fine, that would explain why patients have dangerously low blood oxygen but aren't panting or otherwise showing respiratory distress.

(Incidentally this is also why it's really dangerous to hyperventilate before free diving, because you can put your O2 / CO2 ratio out of whack which can cause you to black out without warning while under water.)
The $150/hr is the bigger cost. I got my PPL a few years ago but haven't flown once since then. If you're going to fly, you need to do it regularly to maintain proficiency - you can't just take out the plane after 4 months of not flying.

So a PPL is useless unless you're willing to spend $2k+ per year to maintain it. Do you need to go somewhere far away, often enough for that to be worth it?

Have a look at the game Control. I think this is a game where I feel they've used the technology really well. Maybe the office building location is a good one for raytracing, as it's full of reflective surfaces, but the graphics feel substantially better with it switched on. Remedy Games also managed to maintain a reasonable framerate with lower end RTX hardware. Other games look less impressive, however, such as minor changes in the shadows. It obviously requires some thought before it can be used.
A VST that doesn't fill its buffer on time shouldn't crash another plugin. It's your other plugins that are flaky.
To be fair the author did talk to another unbiased source than the inventor-businessman. He contacted agricultural scientist Dr. John Troughton, visited the greenhouse with him and asked his opinion on the subject. He asked very specific questions to the author about the advantages of his design (vertical rotating soil-filled trellises). He was transparent about the production costs, the business model of the inventor and the yet-to-be-flowered vines.

The problem I see is that the headline is definitely click-baity compared to the article. The author doesn't particularly emphasize the use of a smartphone app, the shape of the greenhouse or the value of the beans (600 000 is much more theorical in the article than in the title), so I'm thinking the title was written by someone else.
I have a 1st-gen surfacebook, and this thing for sure is not quiet or cool. It can barely run MTG Arena at 720p, much less stream it at the same time. Forget about any serious game. It gets incredibly hot, especially on the GPU, as there's only one fan for the keyboard area pointing at the screen, and it's tiny. The fan on the tablet portion is woefully inadequate for an i7, so spins up shortly after start and never spins down. And the full metal chassis means the entire computer gets hot.

Perhaps the battery life might matter more if it actually slept when it was closed, but the large number of spurious wakeups in bag caused me to assume the battery will be drained whenever I arrive.
I wouldn't be shocked if it came from NRO satellite data. The frequencies cell phones operate at will readily escape to space.
Why do people insist on unnecessary mass deaths when we have examples of how to effectively respond to this disease in countries like South Korea and Taiwan without them? Why do people lean into this falsely-premised fatalism instead of demanding what has been proven to work?
I feel very badly for the strain anyone in a position of leadership must be under right now, regardless of whether I agree with their politics. Many of their constituents are being devastated by the economic impacts of the virus while experiencing little to none of the medical impacts, and are watching their livelihoods slip away. Others are being dramatically impacted medically, even to the point of losing friends and family members to COVID-19. Any decisions made to benefit one group will seem cruel and insensitive to the other, and there doesn't seem to be enough acknowledgement of the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" nature of the situation we're all in. Maybe I'm being naïve, but it feels like we could all do with a little more empathy.
Are there any VST containers? Something that will wrap the VST, intercept under-runs or other bad behaviour and substitute some alternative signal (zero, passthrough, etc.). This could also be part of the host software.

The article and your comments inspired in me the idea of a wave-net based VST learning wrapper. If the real plugin fails, substitute a wave-net based simulation of the plugin.
Oh great, make the pavements as dangerous as the roads why don't you ...
Yes, the Web should stay what it is for static documents. In fact, what I advocated would continue to be based on Web standards (HTML, CSS, Javascript, and newer constructs like canvases, etc).

So, you would have a JS-based VM that runs in the browser. No Flash or other binary. Just pure Web standards for executing the code, rendering, etc. However, as an app developer, you wouldn't touch HTML or Web standards. Instead, they'd all be abstracted away and you'd work within a component/event driven model that's provided by the VM.

Instead of CSS, you'd roll themes, allowing you to stylize components. They'd ultimately be applied via CSS, but ideally you'd have a GUI interface for creating these themes. CSS gives you ultimate flexibility, but why are we still fighting whitespace and these other
low-level document layout constructs when we are really working at a UI component/control level? It's like designing in assembly.

Instinctively, people won't want to give up this granular control. But that's only because we've been thinking about apps in Web terms for so long.

For me, that's the problem with a lot of these frameworks. They do a great job of helping you to wrangle the impedance mismatch between the web and apps. But, they are all predicated on deference to the Web, so they keep us immersed in this world, essentially fighting the Web's ill-fittedness to the task: HTML templates, DOM management, render functions with HTML strings, CSS styling embedded in "components", etc.

Why go so far to create a framework only to hamstring it with the very problems it aims to solve?
I mean, the syntax really isn't that far off from how you might describe this in programming.

To describe this with Python's type hints, for example, you would write this:

And how many of those were/are commercial or similar? The point is that GCC requires you to adhere to the GPL, which may not be desirable.

The Island platform that I linked to is one such commercial example, made and sold by RemObjects[1]. OpenCL support in graphics drivers is another example.

You seem to be saying that current prices are always wrong, but less wrong than estimates of future prices based on current prices.

I have to admit to being surprised by this line of argument.
You could describe PHP as the primary interface to Apache. It would be straining the the metaphor a bit, but I'd say it's still a reasonable way to explain PHP's popularity. mod_php enabled shared hosting with reasonable performance. If mod_perl had been usable in an untrusted shared environment, then PHP might never have taken off the way it did.

The claim is that it’s “commercially available telemetry data”, which sounds fishy but could be true I guess.
This question isn't so clear-cut. Go is still garbage-collected, which means that depending on what kind of program we're talking about, some well-memory-managed WASM code could conceivably still be faster.

Sensor Tower Raises Fresh $45M from Riverwood Capital
I just sent the URI to a friend with a restaurant. I think Mark Cuban did a public service here, ignoring some of the horrible comments left on his blog.

Even though I am at risk (old age and damaged lungs from pulmonary embolisms), I am for reasoned reopening of our economy, but only if we do it with I would call “smart style”: adopt safety measures and make them mandated by law.

I wish more people would look at the covid-19 crisis as something that is serious but that we have to adapt to long term. If restaurants limit seating, use discardable menus, all employees wear masks, disinfect as appropriate, etc., etc. then we achieve Cuban’s feel safe to take the family criterion.
> I do not believe that many people will ever learn to write well; I also don't think it's worthwhile to make them try.

If you're someone who aspires to write well some day, I think it's worth drawing a further distinction. /u/blueyes might agree with this:

"I do not believe that many people will ever learn to write well, unless this person believes learning to write well is worth the effort. If someone doesn't want to learn to write well, it's not worthwhile to make them try."

Which means that if _you_, reader, want to write better, it's worth trying to do so.

If you don't want to write better, well, you've not read this far, so don't worry about it.

edit: grammar x2 It's not easy to write clearly.
I suspect they are conflating mid-career with mid-level engineer. The latter would generally be around 6 years of experience.

Distributuon is a common use case. Not as much for a compiler, but for other things. My company spends a lot of time (money) ensuring we can ship the right source code when asked even though paying us $5 for it is silly when you can get it from the internet for free.

I'd say nobody has ever asked, but that isn't true. One person in the test group actually read the entire eula and sent us $5 to get the source code. (I found out when his letter was returned to sender - we officially went through the entire release process just to fix the address at great expense. Even though it was still internal not released legal demanded we show good faith in correcting the problem) testers like that are worth far more than anyone pays them.
There are definitely big players making a lot of money from plugins they develop. Here are a few to check out:

I feel like the bigger problem is that SV, or at least SF, is proving itself to declare programmers "over the hill" by 35. After all, if you're older than that then you're probably not willing to sacrifice 16-20 hour days to whatever CEO thinks he or she is sitting on the next unicorn.
Not at all, specially when comparing with writing GUIs by hand, we have left MS-DOS ages ago.

Plus that was just one example, I can pick Delphi, Smalltalk, Windows Forms/WPF/UWP, VB or plenty others as example.

Fun fact, the last stimulus bill also had legislature in it that removes all liability from businesses so employees can't sue them for making them work in unsafe conditions pertaining to covid such as if they make a bunch of people work in room with close contact and no air circulation.
> If you're capable of doing stuff you like, being creative, liking that work, and creating that much income, why are you not doing it now?

Because it’s a huge risk with no safety net - even if I’m 95% confident that I could support myself as a freelancer, that’s 5% odds of ending up without health insurance / homeless / unable to support my family / dead / etc; so I stick with my FacelessMegaCorp(tm) job for now, and maybe I’ll freelance for entertainment after I retire :P
I agree that some Scheme implementations have the same guarantee - it's not in the Scheme standard though (as far as I know), which makes it difficult to rely on, if you are programming to the spec.

It is difficult to use the machine stack and have a fast call/cc. But I think Chez Scheme proves it's possible.

The majority of flights in the US are relatively short distance. The top ten most popular flights in the US are [1]:

1. LA to NYC (2800 miles)

2. SF to LA (350 miles)

3. NYC to Chicago (800 miles)

4. LA to Chicago (2000 miles)

5. Atlanta to Orlando (440 miles)

6. LA to Las Vegas (270 miles)

7. LA to Seattle (1100 miles)

8. Denver to LA (1000 miles)

9. Atlanta to NYC (850 miles)

10. Atlanta to Fort Lauderdale (640 miles)

Many of those flights would benefit from a high speed rail connection. Modern high speed trains can travel at around half the speed of passenger planes, and save around 2~ hours traveling to/from the airport, checking in, security checks and boarding. That means the break even point in terms of time is around 800~1000 miles. Anything below that and a modern high speed trains are faster than airplanes.

That means that high speed trains are a competitive (and for many, faster) alternative to 8 of the 10 most popular flight routes in the US. On those lines alone, they can replace ~200K flights per year in the US. They are also generally much more comfortable, because space and weight is much cheaper on trains than it is on airplanes.

Another very important consideration here is that we know how to make sustainable train travel; we have no idea how to make sustainable passenger air travel.

But there there was low levels of O2, wouldn't it mean low levels of CO2? Body doesn't have enough O2 to produce much of CO2, seems plausible for me.
Philosophically cool but the comparison chart made me seriously consider a Pinebook at 20% of the cost.
The point is one of bootstrapping. IF you must build up a critical mass of space-based infrastructure in order to colonize a planet - do you still need to colonize the planet, or just continue on with the space based infra? Especially if you can capture sufficient resources from the asteroid belt.
This is only true from a naive approach to visibility. With rasterization you can rasterize geometric values like normals and positions to an image buffer and shade only what is visible. Rasterization in old versions of renderman would do a lot of shading that was thrown away once scenes became more complex. Real time games eventually followed a similar pattern and now do 'deferred shading'.

Rasterization can also be used to cull polygons that aren't visible when they are going to end up hidden by opaque objects.

In theory ray tracing the first hit visibility can scale better, but in practice that part isn't a big deal and rasterization will probably win anyway. Not only that, but the idea that more polygons will make something look better is another trap. High quality lighting and high resolution textures become more important once polygonal geometry has enough polygons to not have faceting artifacts.
A neat approach for sure. I am more interested in SPICE style modeled VSTs though. There's no need to throw ML at a simple math problem to get a bad approximation. I have not found many VSTs that seem like they're doing proper simulation of analog circuits. The VST space is filled with people claiming awesome results, but never revealing the sauce. If you're making a convincing sounding zener limiter, what are you actually doing? There are a dozen different levels of approximations you could make. Shouldn't a VST that is really simulating the analog circuit advertise that? On paper it should be easy, right? I've sat down with pen and paper to try to write out a simple input/output equation for a zener limiter circuit and I decided it was probably more worth my time to just plop a zener SPICE model into some language that could evaluate expressions and compile to VST (or use a systems of equations solver).

And then there's the real holy grail of analog simulation: the tube amplifier. I'm not sure SPICE models really capture the limiting behavior of tubes very well. You might need to implement the spec sheet in code. All fun sounding problems, and I'm not sure anyone has even done them yet.
