Though Mead & Conway students used CAD from the start, there is nothing in their method that would keep it from also being used in hand taped designs.

Current attempts to design CPUs with open source tools are not so nice since they tend to be one big standard cell blob. Adding some PLA and RAM generators would improve this.

I once got pretty far into recruitment with Accenture, and got to speak with management pretty high up the chain.

It left me with a very curious thought, namely that there's something very rotten that infects any corporation in that business, cause it was nearly a mantra that every higher-level that was part of the interview repeated - that they need people who can tell customer "No" and keep things in reasonable scope and done right.

As if there was some managerial disease across the sales, engineering and clients that pushed towards certain bad outcomes.

Mind you, some areas actually do have such "disease" that is remarkably well studied for something so ephemeral - for example in aviation, flying around VIPs tends to quickly spiral into bad behaviour, with bad things done on basis like "we couldn't let PM be late", caused among other things by gratitude of the PM and thus crews trying to do a little extra. This required separate review and controls to keep from happening and quick negative feedback applied by safety bureau every time it happened, otherwise it would spiral out.
>They didn’t think anyone would want the 4004, 8008, 8080 for computers.

The Wikipedia page on the 8008 says Intel didn't want to make CPUs at first, even though people were interested, because their business was mostly memory chips and they didn't want to compete with clients.

The 8008 was a commissioned project, and when the client decided to abandon it, they gave the IP to Intel in lieu of paying the bill. So Intel was like "what the heck, let's sell them at $120 apiece", in 1972.

I'm not that familiar with the history, although I did read Hackers a long time ago, but it sounds like CTC[1] may have largely designed what because the 8008 and gave rise to the 8080 and x86. Just looking at the Wikipedia pages for the 4004 and 8008, it seems like the latter generally resembles x86 and the former does not, so perhaps the whole dynasty is not exactly based on an Intel foundation. Reminds me of the way Microsoft got going with OSes.

There are numerous attempts, and risks, being taken to advance the science. Sometimes the problems are simply hard, and solutions, if they exist at all, extraordinarily elusive. In recent years, genetic engineering advances such as CRISPR do put the possibility of a direct cure within realm of possibility, though of course that may also prove a false hope.

Other close friends have worked in the pharmaceutical and clinical trials sectors, I've a strong awareness of what goes on there.

There are numerous avenues which have been, and remain to be, explored. My friend themselves participated in several novel therapies once established protocols proved insufficient. We pursued all clinically plausible options, to the point of exhaustion (treatments themselves are often tremendously debilitating), even where not yet proven.

The hostility is not towards "anyone who is trying to change that". There is all the encouragement on Earth for such efforts. Watching masses of growths grow and consome someone you've held quite dear is not easily forgotten.

But those who exploit, possibly innocently but all too often with sheer uncaring deliberateness, the fear, ignorance, guilt, grief, and desperation of patients and thei loved ones beyond all hope is the one thing I've seen uglier than those growths.

The laetrile pamphlets I intercepted and burned 30 years ago went to great lengths to justify their clinics' and promoters' opposition to structured clinical studies, on the grounds that this would deny ssome patients (the control group) useful therapy. But this omits two key facts:

1. There've been numerous studies of the compounds and there is no clinical sign that of medical benefit. For nearly 60 years now.

2. Refusing to certify and demonstrate the compounds withholds the treatment, if beneficial, from vastly more beneficiaries. Of course, as the treatment is a fraud, this harm is fictional, but it. utterly undermines the fraudster's arguments. Their overwhelming insincerity aand self-serving aims are manifest.

There are several other common fallacies in your response I won't bother addressing, save to say in balance you're accomplishing far more harm than good here, and if you have the least bit of sense or decency you'll stop.

Flight attendants in European airlines are surely unionized to at least the extent the US ones are. That doesn't seem right to me.

Maybe you could make the argument that European airlines have grown more in recent decades or something, but then you'd be able to see that per-airline (e.g. Virgin is mostly new hires relative to United, but Lufthansa certainly isn't).

> Like I said below to another poster, for me it would be a detractor when choosing a new app. For me it's about continuity. Especially in case you couldn't continue working on it for whatever reason, it would still maintain a lot of important data for me. I'd be more comfortable if the source was available so it could be continued if abandoned.

Right, but if it doesn't make economic sense to put development time into the app in the first place you can essentially consider an app dead already. Potentially this may sound counter intuitive, but paying for closed-source software (closed because otherwise most people won't open up the wallet) may make the software you depend on _more_ sustainable than if it was open-source.

> Also (also mentioned this below), hinting that there's monetisation coming up but not specifying any details, will put potential users off.

How did you get that feeling? It probably happened that I didn't fully quality what I meant by that for the 100th time somewhere, but I tend to remember to write that the mobile app will be paid essentially.

> I personally hate subscription-based services, no matter how cheap they are, I prefer to spend a bigger amount once.

Right, I've heard this comment a bunch of times. So how much do you think you should pay Notable for hosting all your notes and attachments forever? Let's not even account for development time or anything else.

> One thing you might consider is open the source but not legally leaving it open, so using a more restrictive license. Electron apps are never really closed-source anyway as it uses interpreted languages. Opening the source doesn't really preclude charging for it.

Any binary can be patched, using Electron doesn't mean that apps are open-source.

> I personally have a pet peeve against electron, and what I would be looking for would be more barebones and keyboard-oriented anyway, so I won't use it either way.

Notable's zen mode is about as bare-bones as it gets, and if you try the shortcuts system in one of the alphas of v1.9 it's even better than vscode's in some areas.

Not to be pedantic about it but there actually was slavery (to your point though, not nearly as widespread as it was in the East) Brigham Young declared it legal right after a black member from Boston made the trek into Utah. As soon as he heard Brigham Young say that he packed up and left. He only stayed for like a month.

Edit: I’m not certain off-hand if it was made legal-legal or if Brigham just said it was doctrinal, imagine the effect would be pretty much the same either way at the time.

You're right, changing one's worldview is difficult, and we certainly shouldn't force anyone to endorse views they don't hold.

That said, hitching one's identity to unfalsifiable beliefs ("there is nothing science can't understand", "this book is the word of god", etc.) is immature and stunting. It's human nature, but that doesn't make it worthy of respect or celebration. We should strive to get comfortable with the frightening uncertainty in our mental models of the world.

Therefore, insulting religion or irreligion isn't inherently problematic in my book. (Coincidentally, offending people is a terrible way of encouraging them to be more open-minded, but that's a different question.)
The way dishwashing works in your average pizza place: someone loads racks, and slides them into the dish machine. Inside the dish machine, recycled soapy water blasts them for maybe 40 seconds, and then they are sanitized with extremely hot fresh water for maybe 20 seconds. Then the operator opens the machine, slides out the tray, and puts them away.

(Source: I've washed dishes in 5+ commercial kitchens, though not a pizza parlor. But I've seen these machines and setups in several pizza places.)

That's how factory reset works on Android — it simply erases the entire /data partition, which is the only one normally mounted read-write. Recovery might subsequently initialize an empty file system there, but bootloader certainly does not. (you're usually able to do a wipe from both)

The OS itself then initializes it all from scratch on the first boot.

If you look at the bouba/kiki effect[0] almost everybody shares this synesthesia-like shape to sound mapping.

I'm pretty sure that as the concept of synesthesia is more well-know you'll see many more people report it.

Don't have any source for this but I feel like these synesthesia like mappings are pretty fundamental when learning/memorizing. Seems to me like everybody makes these unusual associations that don't seem to follow any obvious logic to memorize things. But not everybody can readily verbalize and describe what they're seeing/feeling.

Say when speaking or listening to Chinese I have a visual sensation representing the tonality. Which to me is pretty obviously an adaptive technique that helped me learn.

Well, let's break down this hypothetical a bit more:

(1) "Work on" is different from "release." If I were China, I would not release a bioweapon, but I might work on one. The US and USSR worked on nuclear weapons but did not release them. There are 200 nations. Some of them almost certainly have secret bioweapons programs.

(2) As China showed, they could handle a COVID19-level bioweapon attack while the US can't. US has several times as many /dead/ as China had /infected./ In a war, if I were China, I might release one too if I had one.

(3) If I were planning a sneak attack, as I said, a multipart bioweapon might make sense. If something like COVID19 damages the lungs, and makes people vulnerable to PICORNA21, and only 80,000 of my citizens caught COVID19, while millions of Americans did, it seems pretty safe. Especially if I know I can do another lockdown, and the US can't. Release PICORNA21, lock down, wait for millions of paralyzed Americans, and take my rightful spot back in the world.

(4) China is not the only player. Bioweapons are rapidly moving into the range of clever undergrad students, not to speak of terrorist organizations, rogue nations, etc.

I'm not trying to badmouth China here. I don't even think China is the major threat; just that the US should be ready for something like COVID19 intended as a weapon.

Also, as points of fact: (a) China is vaccinating its military already. (b) China has no reason to vaccinate its population yet; their lockdown has worked. If China did vaccinate their population already, as you point out, that would be clear proof this was engineered by China.

> Well in this case he offers the binary app for free anyway (he only asks for voluntary contributions), so I don't really see how making it closed-source would affect this.

Building the thing that one can sell takes time you know.

> I often support open-source projects financially and I would be a lot less likely to support this now that it's not.

Do you think honestly that you would spend more on software if everything you depend on was closed source or less? It's not a matter of being greedy, it's just human nature, if one can get something for free it's way less likely that one's going to pay for it, or pay fairly for it.

> It's about continity: That someone else can carry on with the app (and the data I've put in it!) if he decides to give up on it.

I'm not sure I agree with that, if I decide to abandon Notable because it doesn't make financial sense to me, how do you think is going to continue its development? Like if something is not financially sustainable it's probably dead int he first place.

Plus this argument for an app like Notable where notes are written in Markdown and they really truly _are_ the database of the app doesn't make a lot of sense, I don't think you can get less "no vendor lock-in" than this.

> So in other words, there will be monetisation coming later, but no indication on what kind of price or payment model (think monthly, lifetime etc) he will go for.

I haven't figured out the pricing yet, it's probably going to be something around 5 bucks a month. Lifetime licenses are unsustainable, like how much do you think you should pay Notable for hosting all your notes and attachments forever?

“AWS is down” is phrasing shorthand, it doesn’t mean every single service they offer is nonfunctional. It means that for the vast majority of people it is not doing what it is supposed to do. Again, it’s not a technically correct statement but it is how humans talk.

To extrapolate out to the original point: if multiple top ten traffic web sites are having issues (and this has happened once or twice in the last few years due to AWS or other cloud issues) then your site being down is less notable in customers minds.

I would actually be surprised if that’s legal. Flight attendants perform some critical safety functions, they’re not glorified wait staff that can be replaced on a whim.

Sorry about the delay, we're based in Melbourne, Australia so time zones are an issue. The two most researched areas include IBS and Chronic Pain, which is why they're the first focuses for us.

Here are some studies on IBS using hypnotherapy:
- https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/apt.13706 (the study we're based off)
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1773844/ (5 year effects showed)
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25736234/ (1000 patients, 76% responding)
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24840368/ (meta analysis of IBS hypnotherapy studies)

In terms of how hypnotherapy works for IBS, the exact mechanism isn't known. It's been shown to help with reducing visceral hypersensitivity and improving intestinal motility, thought to be due to utilising the gut-brain connection.

And for pain management:
- https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Controlled-trial-of-hy... (fibromalgia)
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16025734/ (disability related pain)
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19459087/ (low-back pain)

There's also more research into other areas including: erectile disfunction, exam anxiety, depression, etc.

The harder part with a double blind study is developing the placebo side, since from a patients perspective it's very easy to know if you're getting the psychological treatment (hypnotherapy) or not. It's possible using a sham treatment or something similar, or using a waitlist or active control.

It is certainly impressive, and I don't want to discard GPT-3. Just critiquing the (smart) release: make a select few feel special by giving them API access, and watch your product dominate the tech - and news cycle for weeks. You'll have VC money in the bank before showing actual worth or business value.

Maybe a bit simplistic, but I view GPT as a Markov chain text generator, operating on word vectors instead of word tokens, and having a larger look-back.
