You wouldn't build a production system on Windows 10; you'd build it on Windows Server, which doesn't do these things.

Windows Server also makes a nice dev machine.
There's a lot of enjoyment to be had actually using these retro systems. A large part of it is nostalgia, I wont deny that. But the way those systems directly interfaced with the hardware does bring some enjoyment too. I think of it like playing vinyl, some people enjoy the colourisation that vinyl adds to the sound but other people enjoy the tactile nature of the medium. Typing your code directly on an Amstrad, BBC Micro or Apple II is a bit like that in that there are technically better ways to do it these days but using the original machines gives you an irrational sense of enjoyment.
If remote-first with American timezone becomes a trend, I could see Indians and Chinese moving to South America.
This is what I figured. My experience of SW development at a merchant bank is siloed teams using their own development tools to support their banking operations. There was never a company wide mandate on using/not using some technology.
For those unfamiliar with Boston governance, "Boston" here means the "City of Boston", population 0.7 Mppl. A Seattle or El Paso. Rather than a "Greater Boston" aggregation of municipalities of 2 to 8 Mppl.

For a NYC analogy, imagine its historical consolidation was more limited, and many of its towns and cities remain independent, never having consolidated into boroughs, and the boroughs into one big city. Flushing, Brooklyn Heights, Kingsbridge, are still independent towns. Here, the city council of a city occupying only lower Manhattan, but confusingly named "City of New York", just voted on face recognition.
Specifically about attention:

>> The original transformer experiment tested the hypothesis: "if we organize
layers of attention mechanisms in a certain way and feed them tons of text
they will be able to process that text effectively enough to build very rich
and consistent language model".

I read the paper when it came out and I checked it again now to confirm:
there's no such hypothesis in there. In fact "Attention is all you need" is a
typical example of a post-hoc paper that describes what a research team did
that worked and how well it worked. "We tweaked these knobs and out came
STUFF!". Typically for deep learning papers it lacks a theory section, the
space of which is instead taken by an "Architecture" section wich well,
describes the architecture. There are no theorems, or proofs. There is nothing
that connects some kind of theoretical claim to the experiments. The main
claim of the paper is "we build this system and it has better performance than
previous systems". Like I say in my earlier comment, that's not an
interesting scientific claim.

I'm sorry but personally I find that kind of work irritating. "We tried some
stuff and got some results". Woo-hoo. But, why did you try that stuff and why
did you get those results? Did you try to get the same results without that
stuff? Did you try to get some other results with the same stuff? Can you
explain what is going on in your system and why it does that when I twist
this knob? If I twist that knob, can you tell me what it will do without
having to run it first to find out? Typically, 99% of the time, the answer to
all this is "no" (i.e. no ablation experiments, no theoretical explanations,
etc. etc, no nothing). It's like I say above, just throwing stuff at the wall
to see what sticks. And then writing a paper to describe it.

Oh, and calling stuff suggestive names like "attention". If I call it
"boredom", am I more or less justified than the authors?
Huh. I was going to say that it was absurd to suggest they were giving up on consumers, given just how heavy they've been investing in gaming for the last year. But writing that out made me realize they unceremoniously killed Mixer just three days ago.
It's likely they reduced advertising spend across the board, while cutting Facebook entirely.

> You can’t have you’re cake and eat it too, either Facebook advertising was effective and they are harming their own business by cutting Facebook advertising (Suggesting there is more than money involved in the decision), or Facebook advertising is a waste of money in which case they won’t just quietly turn it back on as you claim.

Of course there is real money involved. But the current political/ economic situation has made Facebook advertising less valuable than it was previously.

Things changed which made this an easy call.
Similar to Ubuntu releases, it's last two digits of year followed by two-digit month (though the actual release isn't always in the nominal month, IIRC, but it's usually close.)
British Public Help Reach Major Milestone in Fight Against Scammers
Maybe I misunderstood. What tools do you think the government should be building in house? If MS Word isn't something you're advocating that we rewrite in house, then I don't understand what you're advocating that we don't already do.
Good comment, my initial thought after reading the parent was that it was by the same person.
That's a peculiar worldview
But can we POKE in it? :)
I get the feeling that there are many small to medium businesses where production systems do run on Windows. Maybe not the type of "production" that we on HN would think of, but nevertheless important systems without which business cannot be conducted.
Very few people can do the math. You are born into it, not with it. Math is not forgiving. There's no fooling it. Newton sent people to the gallows. Descartes was constantly sick. That's what really leads to creating insights and communicating them to billions of people. Seeing the world as is and surviving.

I would say these people are about 1 in 1000. There are nice and disciplined people who do everything right but still don't get it. Education for the most part is seeing someone do something you like and copying it, or repeating the beliefs of your friends. That's most of the learning. Then bumble through life always being right.

One thing to consider regarding colonialism, there have been times where the world has been caught flat footed. No way to really isolate. Trade and diplomacy leaks out knowledge. One day you wake up and barbarians just nuked you.
Yes, I think that would basically be OK.
For Social Entrepreneurs: Lessons Learned in Resilience from Ecosia’s Founder
I saw Ron Johnson speak around 2012 in San Mateo. He oversaw the initial rise of the Apple Store. I remember him saying Jobs told him there was basically an unlimited budget to make the stores a success. The difference is it only took Apple three years to reach $1B in annual sales.
Go down levels in mostly randomly generated dungeons and do a thing. There are many differences - turn based is the biggest, graphics is significant, level of complexity (partly enabled by lack of need for graphics) - but they are very far from "completely different". Diablo II even had "hardcore mode" for permadeath.
Whose blood are commenters looking for by pointing out that the data given in the piece fails to lend any credence to the "alarming rate" claim?
It's fine to be a consumer, I have no issue with that. But as someone who got into computing because of what computers are, I lament the conflation of "computer" with "appliance" that leads to more and more restriction and less actual computers. I'd like to see computers improve as computers, but even Linux Desktop with all its hackers trends more towards wanting to be a fucking appliance.
I got your point now : )

I am pulling site score from Google PageSpeed Insights Api. Based on score, i am doing calculation at the backend based on this research here: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/performance/more/website...

But you are definitely right, i should provide more insights where results are coming from.
> It's eventually a way to streamline the process by shutting down group dissent. Work fine if the rules, and their enforcement are just; not so much otherwise.

What you're missing is that this is something that will happen anyway, explicit CoC or not. Someone with power will always be in a position to judge the rules and enforce them in his own way on someone without power, by definition.

But if there is an explicit code, you are warned in advance of the actions that will more likely trigger enforcement, instead of finding them after the fact.

Therefore, you can decide to avoid those actions, or avoid the event entirely. In some ways, an explicit CoC is giving more power to participants over the organizer, not the opposite.
Hey, i have a great backend automation tools team, super senior crew, one of our projects fell through so if you need a solid team to build automation build systems etc. Happy to talk.
> I guess waiting for Genius appointments

I'm convinced this is deliberate - the apple store is full of blue shirts and people waiting for their appointments / devices to be fixed. It makes the shops look like they're busy, most shops would not make people wait around like that for things to be fixed, but apple gets away with it somehow. It's all very clever - I call it apple theatre, and yes I participate myself. I'd never wait that long to get my PC fixed, I'd drop it off and come back to pick it up - total time 5 minutes, but somehow apple make it so people happily sit round while the genii investigate things and engage in the mystical business of fixing the phone/Mac, challenging the apple hierarchy to get that special repair price for you, and I don't think I've paid full price for a repair for a long time (ever?), so I indulge them.
Their reasons for existing were the same as the ones you listed for Apple stores: Brand, hands on, direct sale. I'd also add that they serve as a place where buyers believe that they can get support on product, thus increasing their trust in the product. That's an incredibly valuable thing IMO.
What a fantastic anecdote. Thanks for sharing.
This was like 35 year ago [1]. I'd say this was already a "transparent and globalized world".

[1] Suddenly, I'm feeling old.
Police routinely falsify reports, if this was really true, it would not be the same officers involved in shootings again and again.

Why Wait For Apple? Try Out The Original ARM Desktop Experience Today With A Raspberry Pi

Future MacBooks and iMacs are going to be powered using a ARM-based chip, but the Acorn Archimedes was the first desktop to use this architecture

I very slightly edited the 1st line to fit, abbreviating "Raspberry Pi".
Chelsea Manning was not involved in the "collateral murder" leak.
I know there is no point responding to such comments, but I was curious myself: iPhone, iPad, iPod, Apple Watch, AirPods, MacBook, iMac, Pencil, AppleTV, HomePod, the monitor, software products, cloud services, plus accessories to support the ecosystem. plus selling high margin extended warranties and financing. Most of those items are categories of products, not specific products themselves. Many of those products are industry leaders in their respective segments. Thats a lot of products, and a lot of good reasons to maintain a fleet of retail outlets.
> Not everyone cares to be a programmer, and to put computers behind that wall serves to stop people from accessing them.

You misunderstand. I don't lament the existence of appliances, I lament that the hijacking of "computer" to mean "appliance" has lead to a lack of progress in computing environments for those of us who do care about computing.
Seems like Apple is intent to discourage rather than deter people from running unsupported systems. Lack of wifi kills wanting to use Big Sur on unsupported as that's a fundamental unit that is needed for laptop utility.
> For example, I don't tell my boss to stop staring at my tits.

And so women who have been "MeToo'd" should just be silent? I don't get it. You're advocating exactly for why people in power continue to oppress, because complacency of victims fuels their power.

> As I said before, not every black person wants to be an activist.If we have that expectation, it's extra work they need to do on top of the work required for their actual job / interests.

And so they'll just leave that up the MLK's of the world? Got it. Thanks for your martyrdom MLK, I'm too busy WORKING!

> You're showing genuine curiousity about this issue, and you might read up on it and wake up one day with the understanding that you're responsible for taking up the work yourself.

I have told you NOTHING about what work I've done to be a better participant in society so why are you commenting on this?

> Perhaps you should focus on what you can do about this situation, and not what you think black people are supposed to be doing.

Perhaps you should too? But that's not the point of my comment and hence why I'm failing to understand your responses. /shrug
Windows machines get forcibly updated because users kept letting their boxes be part of botnets which hurt other users.
> Almost getting killed tends to cause PTSD, but the tendency is stronger if someone intentionally tried to kill you.

I'd be more concerned about being the first on scene of traffic accidents, fires, etc, especially those involving kids. I have vivid visions of stories I've been told from first responders, so I can only imagine it is worse for them.
Apple's custom silicon play is not about the users.

Its about the media vendors.

Apple can afford to outright buy most of them. What I think they are doing, is preparing themselves for a time when they can own media, as well as the devices you use to view/experience it.

I don't think the Piracy wars are over, guys. They're gunning for us, and .. unless we've got tunnelling electron microscopes and other tawdry machines, its gonna be harder and harder to crack.
Which is good. It means we can avoid violence, collect evidence for an easy conviction (such as videoing a firearms violation) and apprehend criminals safely using trained SWAT forces.
This is very prescient as right now the radical leftists are busy destroying the icons of anti-slavery and black success. Marxist's always destroy the good history when they take control. If you don't know where you are from you can be led anywhere. We'll see slavery again in this country if we forget our past.
PHP started as a scripting language and had/has many other issues and fundamentals that had/has to get right first. Don't blame PHP or Javascript for things they were not initially built and meant for, when there are other languages out there that can do what you need and have a more solid and tested foundation.
Let me start off by saying that I think we need to be careful with this type of tech. Assuming it never makes mistakes can be deadly.

As someone who has done some work with building deep learning models what is it that makes this unfairly target minorities?

Is it that the people who trained the model did not present enough example images of minorities during training? Is it because darker (presumably black) skin does not show up as well on poor quality videos (presumably because the metering of the camera exposed for the surrounding background which was bright)? Or is it the law enforcement using it was poorly trained and assumed the computer was infallible combined with possible prejudice they already had against minorities?

The first problem I would think could be easily solved. The second problem I would think would be rather difficult. The last would require extensive training but I am sure we humans would screw that up also.
Ah, one of the downsides of working for the Federal government is that you forget that "government" isn't just the big players. Although I can't say I've encountered this in my interactions with the California government either.

I would say that maybe there's a role for the Federal government to play in providing data hosting for smaller governments who can't afford to do it themselves, but with the general distrust of the Feds these days, I bet most here (including me, frankly) would rather give their data to MS and Google.
One thing first: The design of the waiting room/lobby is really beautiful!

But I dont like the simplicity of the landing page. It looks a bit boring and bland to me. Maybe show a nice example lobby (or a screenshot) directly at the beginning.
Also maybe add some color and a few icons to the landing page.

This could also be used when revealing an app or a new platform. Like the countdown timer some websites use. So maybe you could adapt this idea to other use cases.

Also an idea for a feature: Maybe add a simple chat to the waiting room where people can ask questions or just talk before the event starts.

But if I would host online events, I think I would use it. Makes the whole thing seem more professional and special/exclusive.
Interestingly, the picture in the AP article above and the one in the manual do not match. The one in your link has a danger sign, but the one in the article has no such sign.

I wonder if the one that killed that dog had a sign.

Murderers, that's all they really are when it comes down to it.
Did a sorta similar thing on RiscOS, in BASIC, on our high school computers. It would hide in application directories and put itself in as !Boot (so it'd run when the icon was viewed) and then copy itself into any other application that was run/viewed (I forget which.)

Being the smartarse I was, I also unlocked the harddrive of some of the computers (hold some key on boot), put it into an installed application, and then relocked it behind me. This way anyone using that computer was guaranteed to get it on their disk.

My fall came when I left a disk with the raw source on it with my name on it in the lab and the teacher found it and figured out what it was.

Luckily the teacher was a good sort, I got a talking to from the principal, and banned from the lab for the rest of the school year (but it was September, so only a couple of months.) The next year they started giving me a lot more access to our various school machines so that I could do whatever projects I wanted with them, and once they start to do that you don't want to piss them off and have them take it away, so I behaved :)
Also, the police omertà business means the law upholders knuckle under to the bullies or get driven out of the force.

Im not sure if this is an accurate correlation, but i recall hearing;

The reason for mega flora and fauna (really large animals and plants) was due to a much higher % of oxygen in the atmosphere....

However, on the conspiracy spectrum, there was this russian kid who supposedly channeled living previously on mars who states that they had really really long life spans, but it is the fact that life on earth consumes much more oxygen, and it is oxygen that reduces overall life span - which is interesting when rated to vedic ancient books which talk of lives being ~900 years plus....

Only idiots downvote without comment...

—-

So the documentary i linked to states that hummingbirds have developed a hemoglobin that absorbs oxygen at even 6% which is the same as 40,000 feet - as compared to 21% at sea level....

Yes this easily fits a lot of things said about politicians.

Every maintained project is a continuous Ship of Theseus rewrite, but yes, if there's a language your team is more productive at writing correct code in and that provides better performance, there's an easy choice to make. That's very often not the case, though, and as well as team it's often project scale dependent, and projects often start at a scale where the calculus is very different from where it might be years down the road.
Except that they are keeping all of them employed.

Looking for something similar but not VC backed checkout Super Graph. It's very similar and in GO. Also it's not VC funded or even a startup just a good old open source project with a fast growing community.

Super Graph can learn your DB schema and relationships and automatically compile GraphQL to a single efficient SQL query. Use it as a standalone service or a library in your own code. It also works with Rails auth, JWT, Firebase auth, supports OpenCensus tracking and tracing, designed to be high-performance and startup in few milliseconds fro scale to zero environments. It works with all kinds of DB relationships including polymorphic associations, JSON and Array columns, and much more.
