Many years ago, we had a custom made board with 8 huge Xilinx Virtex 5 FPGAs (the largest available at the time) to emulate a large SOC. Those FPGAs were something like $20K a piece.

We had 10 such boards, good for millions of dollars in hardware, and a small team to keep it running.

These platform were mostly used by the firmware team to develop everything before real silicon came back. It could run the full design at ~1 to 10MHz vs +500MHz on silicon or 10kHz in simulation.

After running for a while, that FPGA platform crashed on a case where a FIFO in a memory controller overflowed.

Our VP of engineering said that finding this one bug was sufficient to justify the whole FPGA emulation investment.
Throttling all external travel is a severe and major restriction, especially for a country that derives significant revenue from tourism. It's not some minor thing that can be blown off. Travel to/from NZ will be minimal for as long as that continues, and they have no way out.

>third party libraries (even extremely popular ones) have outdated example code or docs that are inconsistent with actually released versions.

That's actually one of my big pet-peeves about OSS. This is especially annoying because the Rust ecosystem already has a really nice solution to the problem - skeptic ([0]).

Skeptic finds Rust snippets in markdown files and dynamically builds tests to run them. So if your docs go out of sync with your code, `cargo test` fails.

It's not a matter of standards and norms, but objective reality. The art has value. It is an asset. It could be sold. To pretend otherwise is an act of deception. They're cooking the books. The question is why are they making fake books? The usual answer is to skim / profit / launder / etc.

In terms of how museums choose to curate their collections, I don't really care. That's their business, not mine. However economics exist whether they want to pay attention to it or not. They have bills. They have labor costs. At some point the lights get cut off.
But the first time I saw an east asian laptop in this form factor was before modern smartphones took off. It was circa 2008 and it ran Vista. It might have been a few years old.

I have long been impressed at the small laptop form factors available in those countries. There are many fewer options for wide sale in the US for example. It would seem to me like further west there is less demand for something small.
I loved every week (though not every hour) of my computer programming jobs. I literally do it for free in my spare time and here some fools are willing to pay me handsomely to do it at their little glass and concrete spreadsheet/Powerpoint mine.

I'm 34. I've heard 'No Diggity' now, but a couple of years ago it was one of those songs I always heard people talk about with 90s nostalgia, but I somehow wasn't aware of it in the 90s. I knew 'No Scrubs' and 'Wannabe' and most of those others back then, but for me 'No Diggity' has kind of a Mandela Effect on me. Everyone apparently loved this song, but I never heard it.

We already find out a lot from the presence of exactly the opposite complaints by the opposite side. This happens on every single divisive topic. Moreover the feelings people have about their perceptions, the language they use to express them and so on, are identical, even when they're claiming opposite things.

This shows that these perceptions are not objective. That's the main point. Why such perceptions routinely arise, and why people are so intensely convinced of them, is an interesting question but a secondary one.

I just set up AMT for a bunch of servers.

It is possible but extremely tricky to set up AMT headless on a self built Intel. You basically need to press keyboard keys at the right time. Too challenging without a display.

Devices don’t load AMT configuration from USB by default unless a vendor configured them to. In which case the vendor just ships you AMT enabled in the first place.

Better to just image the disk on a different computer.

So your solution to bring together the left and right wing on climate change is nuclear power? Lets break down every level that is wrong on:

1. "Green people" are a tiny portion of the left wing and have little overlap with the two parties that actually matter in any way.

2. Right wing people are certainly not pro-nuclear, they're pro fossil fuels. You win virtually nobody new if every single democrat went 100% for nuclear.

3. Anti-nuclear people cross the political spectrum roughly evenly... conservatives hate it because it is essentially a government brainchild and because the government has such an interest in the byproducts.

4. People who want to actually address global warming (like Rep AOC) as opposed to simply being pro-nature ARE fans of nuclear. The Green New Deal now encourages nuclear power.

5. Nuclear power is not a magic bullet. It's more expensive than solar and wind. It has the same distribution issues as solar and wind. It requires batteries like solar and wind (although less seasonal storage). It's not because of public opposition, or regulations, or any nonsense like that, it's because nuclear power is fantastically complex and expensive to build. If it was cheap and easy Texas would be dotted with reactors, but instead they have wind turbines.

This whole "nuclear vs. renewables" thing is a relatively isolated scuffle between a minor but visible group of anti-nukes and a much larger but less invested pro-nuclear group that mistakes NIMBYs as the former and is generally low-knowledge on the topic. Enthusiasm for nuclear power is already widespread and generally unopposed. It is not a divisive issue between people who disagree about climate change. It is also not a significantly better solution to climate change than normal renewables.

Electrek authors own stock in TSLA, so they are about the most biased source there is on the topic. Certainly nothing here should be confused with journalism.

dwohnitmok in response to your edit, I agree this is the issue. Your link was fantastic and adds to the conversation.
I actually disagree with this.

In big companies, everybody completes a piece of the puzzle and if you are the one who collects all the pieces, you might think that you are doing the most of the work. But actually, everybody is a part of that.

Let me give you an example: My $JOB at $COMPANY is related to preventing fraud. My department and team saves around 4 to 10 percent of the ALL revenue, potentially more if we did not do our jobs well (fraud rate grows exponentially when a known pattern is known to fraudsters). Our department is not even 1% of all of our engineers but our value is triple of other teams. Should we ask triple of their salaries? No, because all the data points that we gather are generated by other teams, which do their jobs, just like us.

It is called a co-operation (corporation) for a reason.
Isn't that because compilers aren't written to cope with variations though - that rigour is necessary because humans can't deal with ambiguity. A compiler written using AI could happily understand what 'int', 'itn', 'it', 'integer', 'IntyMcintyFace', and every conceivable variation mean, and still compile them all to the same machine code. Humans don't want that in a language because it makes it hard to use. AI doesn't care.
The offset typing causes repetitive stress injuries which are very painful and can end a career. For people that use mice, one handed trackballs, a one handed touch pad, doubly so on external keyboards because it forces the mouse hand abnormally out and away from the body. All that for a bunch of keys I haven't used in years because they are useless as a programmer.

Laptop manufactures who don't offer keyboards without numpads, to me, care so little about their customers that their laptops aren't worth shit. I'm looking specifically are all laptops > 14" from system 76. If they want to be taken seriously as a manufacturer, they should consider a line of 15" or 16" laptops that aren't going to leave people in pain, considering changing careers. Of course, I only use the internal keyboard when absolutely necessary and can't use an external with an external display, and it still makes that big of a difference.

Ergonomics matter.

The 16- and 17 was in red and the 18+ was in green, and you just had to press the green button. No ID check or staff member coming around to look at you or anything.

For a great picture at the Model Y, I recommend Sandy Munro's complete teardown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br9luPS5VsE&list=PLkiDlGyJnp...

Overall the Model Y seems like a far better car from Tesla's perspective - much simpler design, cheaper to build, tons of under-the-hood improvements to make it more efficient.

From a consumer perspective, you really do get larger Model 3 - you pay a bit more, get a lot more volume, higher seating position and worse driving performance. Most of the improvements would probably only show up in comparison with similar cars ie longer range, cheaper price etc.
And have been since ages, that was one of the themes regarding RISC Vs CISC design.
Cargo-Cult programming is already happening at a not-insignificant scale due to the vast amount of sample code/tutorial/Q&A online. There could be lots of nuances in that snippet you just copied from a SO comment, which "just works". GPT-3 based tools could help you generate a working (or barely working) sample fairly easily. But the decision to just ship that code as is, or to understand it and tune it for your specific needs still mostly depends on the developer.
> You can identify which parent any chromosome came from. They're all marked, and the same genetics may do sharply different things depending on whether it was inherited from the father or the mother.

I did not know this. This sounds interesting! Can you provide any google search terms (or a link) where I can read more about this? (e.g. a name of what they are marked with)
This surprises me. I thought that there was a process by which portions of the two copies of a chromosome get switched between the two. Is that right? How does that fit together with these markings?

(If these questions would be answered by searching for whatever search term or reading whatever link you provide, I would consider providing said search term or link to be answering these questions)

So, going to space to the moon is useful because it enables going further out to space.

And I'm not entirely sure how you turn water (H₂O) into Methane (CH₄). Granted I barely passed freshman chemistry 33 years ago so my chemistry knowledge isn't so good, but as near as I can recall, there is no process that will turn that input into that output.

And again, even if the moon is a source of water, there's not a significant need for any water mining operation at the poles to have a colony around it or even any human staffing. Putting people there on even a semi-permanent basis would likely eliminate any gains to be had from using the moon as a source of water.

Even the space tourism doesn't call for settling the moon. No one lives on top of Mount Everest either.
> Why are salaries so far apart, even with all the tech we have today? Doing remote work over the Internet is so easy.

I've struggled with the answer to this myself as well.

For some reason people leading companies decided that they want their employees to sit in an office. Even when there's 0 reason for it.

The best explanation I can come up with is plain old stubbornness with a hint of craving for human connection. The madness of crowds: everybody does it this way, so it must be the only way.

As a contractor I offer clients a 30 % discount on my hourly rate if they let me work remotely. Which is always possible. None of them care about the discount.

In the case of my clients most decision makers are around pension-age. The CEO at the last company I worked at didn't know what the possibilities of a VPN where until the pandemic hit. They didn't have the bandwidth capacity to let people work from home, because they had refused to pay a few thousand bucks for a company to lay fiber to the office a few years prior while the road was opened up. "Our internet connection is fine."

This was a tech company building equipment for physics experiments.

Business leaders literally have a hard time imagining the possibilities of the internet in 2020. It's still 1970 for a lot of people.
In our case, we can not use the CDN, unfortunately, because the objects change a lot.
That could be because of the ever increasing use of software in many aspects of our day to day lives. Initially computers took up huge space in labs scattered around world. Now billions of people have a computer on their hands in the form of smartphones. A couple of decade ago it was the standard to dial a number to order a taxi or takeaway food. Now you software for those use cases. And many many more. It could be the case that there's an increasing demand for software engineers because more and more software is being built.
I immediately saw what needs this fills, that for remote work we need a kind of digital presence somewhere between zoom video conference, which demands everyone’s full attention, and is either presentational or one on one, and slack, which feels too asynchronous and formal.

Like others i’m not convinced that the answer is another screen or if it’s some other kind of in between semi passive experience.

Once it disappears it’s interesting to consider what specific qualities of just turn and talk to someone is absent in remote work and how you could bridge some of those feelings with some kind of digital experience. A projector? A robot? VR? AR?

Remote work had made me more finely attuned to how many physical non verbal cues you exchange with office mates on a daily basis and how exhausting it can feel to duplicate those digitally.
I suppose you'd count the exclamation of pain after strike that a parent asked their child make against the parent as a lie, too.

Everywhere saw a similar shape of curve, i.e. exponential increase until the lockdown, then slow exponential decrease. The peak of the curve differed widely, and countries that were slow to lock down like the UK, Sweden and USA have seen some of the worst outcomes.

Correlating lockdown policy to outcome does not make sense because lockdowns are instituted in response to case levels in the first place. It is like correlating fire trucks and fires, and finding that fire trucks cause fires because there are more of them in dry, fire-prone areas.

Sweden provides something close to a natural experiment, it has similar culture and climate to its neighbors but a far worse outcome after it did not lock down.

Prisons are not especially weighted toward older people and they have seen outbreaks with as many as 80% being infected.

Any discussion of parenting and Native peoples needs to include the context of the Indian Residential Schools. The state (Canada and the US) would force Native children to attend boarding schools with restricted parental visitation rights (legally compulsory in Canada 1894-1948, and de-facto compulsory for the 20 years before and after). The schools would punish the children for 'acting Native' (wearing traditional clothing, not speaking english, etc). It was a program of forced cultural assimilation (sometimes called 'cultural genocide') which was supported by saying that Native parents were bad influences on their children.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Indian_residential_sc...

Any attempt to remove Native children from their parents needs to acknowledge the use of children by the government to attempt to wipe out Native culture. Around a quarter of Native children were removed from their homes in the US by child protective services and permanently placed in non-Native homes. This was such an issue that the Indian Child Welfare act requires that Native tribes and Native family have the first opportunity to claim custodianship over Native children removed from the home.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Child_Welfare_Act

So for the comment you link to, I have the following objections:

- Native people were raised in government schools (until 1970) which used corporal punishment regularly. They're criticizing parenting styles which the government taught parents as kids.

- Canada and the US have a long history of removing lots of kids from Native parents. Of course Native leaders are going to care about CPS rules

- The SSC guy is completely ignoring how shitty White Canadians have treated Native people when he compares abuse rates between Inuit and "Western" (White) populations. This reeks of a long history of calling Native people "savage".
I have a similar solution in place. For reasons ... I have a machine that is 100% locked down by the client. I cannot install software on it, nor does it have any sort of remote access tools installed on it. To keep my work space clear, and negate the need for second monitor (as I need to be able to see the screen of this machine AND my main machine at the same time), I use an Elgato CamLink HDMI dongle[1] to capture the video output of the machine, and I use VLC to display it in a window on my main desktop. I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo to control it. The latency on the video capture is very low (it doesn't feel any more laggy than a normal remote sesson), and as an added bonus I can screen capture the video stream, which is really useful for documentation. The CamLink is locked at 1080p, so as long as the machines desktop resolution matches that, I get a very crisp picture. I've been using this setup for almost two years now, on a daily basis with no issues.

> Pay raise and pay cut are not justified descriptions.

That's why I said "essentially". :) Compared to the alternative where salaries are location independent, it functions as a change in salary.

> Given folks can live where they like

Switching costs for moving are relatively low for young, healthy, childless renters, but are much higher for many others. Not wanting to move away from family (who may also be providing free childcare for you), not wanting to move away from close friends (who studies repeatedly show are critical for mental health), not wanting to disrupt your child's or partner's education, needing to find a buyer for your old house, finding a new house to buy, being underwater on your loan, not wanting to change doctors while in the middle of a long-term or chronic illness, having a hobby or passion that is highly location dependent, etc.

Moving is hard. Anyone who thinks it isn't likely hasn't put down roots enough to realize the benefits that accrue from not moving.
