One, your interpretation of my comment widely misses the mark. First paragraph indicates the title is (was) lacking a date. Second paragraph is how I feel about the article itself.

Two, I said "inspiration" and not "impressive." I aspire to be this diligent about performance. None of the actual tricks are terribly impressive to me, as I'm familiar with them. The communication itself, from a GNU author to the BSD community, clearly explaining how they can achieve similar performance, is an exemplary open source attitude. That's even more inspirational than the actual tricks, IMO
I think this is more applicable to being an entrepreneur or manager rather than individual contributor. In my experience, most companies reward hyper-specialization.
I wonder if, after a torrid love affair with AI models, we'll have to return to human models simply because nobody could resist the urge to tweak the AI model parameters beyond what is sensible and useful over time, as AI modeling users compete to stand out that little bit more. Convenience of flexibility could become a problem, in the long run. Not that models haven't had their own problems with trying to conform to whatever the industry's standards of beauty is this month, but having to still be living human beings has at least kept them on Planet Earth to some extent.
Even getting home at 4 PM every day, you only end up with 2-3 hours to do whatever you want per day, vs 12+ if you aren't going to work.

You should work a year in Silicon Valley and save every penny, then go spend 3-4 years back in your home country IMO. Just imagine what you could do with all that time, completely yours. The best hours of the day would be all yours again.

I took a couple of years off full-time work, and it was indescribably great. It took a few weeks to unwind and get out of "rat race" mode mentally, but after that.. I finally understood the cliche of "living more" because I would do more interesting stuff in a day than my friends and family would in a week. I had to force myself not to talk to anyone more than once a month, since I just sounded like a jerk to them, and they never had anything new to say any sooner than that.

I honestly felt like I lived more in that two year stretch than I did in my whole life up to that point beforehand.

I didn't manage to achieve enough of a stable financial equilibrium, so I'm back in the rat race now. My current job is awesome, I love it. I couldn't ask for a better job. But compared to that time to myself, I honestly feel like I'm dead. Wake up -> Work -> Chores -> TV/Games -> Sleep -> Repeat. Weekends are almost entirely devoted to resting and catching up on chores I couldn't take care of during the week. Days turn into weeks turn into months turn into years, everything just slips by.

Fortunately, I know I can come back to life again once I get enough money saved, so I'll keep at it.
Private equity is not venture capital. Venture capital primarily seeks returns via increasing the value of the equity of portfolio businesses. Private equity typically seeks returns via cash flow using the assets of the underlying business. In your description, private equity is using human resource assets to increase value elsewhere in its portfolio. The private equity probably has little upside in increasing the equity value of your company owing to the likely circumstances of its sale. Good luck.
Should anyone get compensated for creating the knowledge?

Look, do you want books to sit around uselessly not being read because everybody have to decide if they want to learn based on textbooks costing hundred of dollars?

If you believe people should be compensated for creating knowledge, then buy a copy. I certainly do.

if it is an "easy to produce or consume in language X" it does not mean it is canonical - it means that language X has an extension that allows to do so. Is there a place in protobuf spec or documentation mentioning this to be a part of the protocol?
Maybe, but apparently murder numbers grow. This is the first example of Europe vs USA murder rates I was able to google

https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/7x9eaw/murder_rate_...

Are all of them criminals murdered in self defense? I would be surprised. And if that was the case, then some crime was going on.
I think the biggest potential for AI in fashion will be to allow a customer to do "virtual try-on" - see a clothing item rendered on the customer's own body. Maybe eventually we'll reach a point where it's way cheaper to synthesize a photograph of a model wearing an item, but how expensive could those really be to make using a human being and a camera? But if you can synthesize a model wearing a shirt, it's not that big of a step to instead synthesize ME wearing that shirt. I can't easily get pictures of me wearing every shirt in the store the traditional way, so even an expensive, slow or flawed AI system to accomplish that would still have value.
"perfectly normal to trawl production customer data"

It's not. And there are plenty of trainings inside of Amazon to make you aware of that. It is your fault, in the end, to not report your team. I have been on several teams at Amazon and this would always be an absolute no-go. It's already difficult to even get basic ideas about customer data, things that you would consider "essential" to improving the customer experience.

From memory, this is correct. It's only the USB-C port that allows OTG operation. I remember a while back seeing someone selling a special splitter cable for the rpi4 which provided 2 separate USB connectors, one for powering the rpi and one for attaching the pi as a gadget to a USB host port. But I can't remember where I saw it, and haven't been able to turn up a link to it.

This is a very idiosyncratic list. While they point out that the list focuses on intrinsic reasons, they seem the author's reason's not to be a manager but dont "generalise".
For example, not having the opportunity to job hop, or you can do all the fun tasks an Individual Contributor. The first one may be true, but that in and of itself is only a tool to manage a career progression and pay. The second one is only true if you consider management to be only that which overlaps with a Sr individual contributor might do: mentoring, decision making. There is more on the management path. The type of manager a sr developer transitions into is really only the beginning of a career path - and the article is written from that perspective.
The Security Services and other national security apparatus have "DSMA notices" for the media, yes, but they're not legally binding.

They would have to seek an injunction to legally prevent anything being published.

There are no separate courts for the intelligence community here. The court hearings themselves can be held in camera and with specially cleared lawyers, but that's all.

Nothing stops Apple from giving no craps about ARM CPU roadmaps though. They could just license what they need and build a completely custom everything on top without needing it to be a standard implementation in anyway. So long as whoever is buying ARM is legally mandated to provide licenses - Apple doesn't have to rely on them actually pushing out new CPUs/modules/features.

Historically I think they have just licensed the ISA and built their own thing on top. Maybe they needed the Big.Little stuff in the past but for the future they seem to be confident enough not to need anything from ARM or do it themselves.
This is great, I like it. I bought the domain chattymaps.com to do something similar but gave up on it.
I would really recommend you release this as a generic open source project that others can build on. It will be hard to monetise one specific implementation of it but I can imagine there will be quite a few people out there who would want to build something similar for their community.
Thats not entirely true - the flexibility can have its own value. Unlike an ASIC you can handle multiple workloads or update flows.

For example timing protocols on backbone equipment handling 100-400Gbps. Depending on how its configured you may need to do different things. Additionally you probably don't want to replace 6 figure hardware every generation.

Another example is test equipment where you can't run the tests in parallel. A single piece of hardware can be far more portable / cost effective.
Please don't take this as a disparaging comment because it's not meant to be, but...how to you define "worthwhile"? I had to read the OP's comment twice because it wasn't immediately apparent to me that coding in the gaming industry met my intuitive definition of a "worthwhile" endeavor.

FWIW, I think it's awesome you found something that meets your personal goal, I'm just curious how you arrived at that definition of what constitutes "worthwhile".
Any time a nation complains about another nation doing something that it itself does, you shouldn't ever take it seriously at face value. Nations are regularly two-faced as a form of politics. They're not going to stop being that way just because of a moral hypocrisy.

> why use ARM if you control and build the whole stack from electronics to operating system to the software running on it?

Why not use ARM if the alternative is to build an entire software stack from scratch. ARMs licensing fees are very reasonable, and then you get most of the free software ecosystem for free.

Talk about all time gaslighting. It's the managers/directors job to ensure compliance, not normal employees.
See it's funny, I (software guy) have recently started doing a bunch of FPGA stuff on the side for "fun" and I find the programming model to not be the biggest challenge.

The tools, yes, because it seems like hardware engineers have a fetish for all-encompassing painful vendor specific IDEs with half the features that us software developers have, and with a crapload of vendor lock-in... but I digress.

I find working in Verilog to be pretty pleasant. Yes I can see that with sufficient complexity it wouldn't scale out well. But SystemVerilog does give you some pretty good tools for managing with modularity.

On the other hand, I've never particularly enjoyed working with GPUS, CUDA, etc.

So I would agree with your statement that the structural issues prevent their utility in wider market classes -- and those really are as you say ... lower clock speeds, cost, but also vendor tooling.

FPGAs could really do with a GCC/LLVM type open, universal, modular tooling. I use fusesoc, which is about as close to that as I will get (declarative build that generates the Vivado project behind the scenes), but it's not perfect, still.
Am I misremembering that RIP also added a very boring download step? Like if you play LORD for the first time you have to download a bunch of images that get cached locally. Then the sysop updates to a minor version and you have to download some of the new art.

I thought it was all too slow (both downloading and drawing menus) and the RIP art I saw was mostly very underwhelming, in particular compared to ANSI art.

> Services like Steam, GOG, Epic et al have massively reduced game piracy.

This has absolutely been the case for me. I went from pirating everything to having so many games that I've paid for but haven't played yet. I'm sure part of it is being older with more disposable income and less free time but its just so much easier to buy the game on steam.

You actually bring up another point that in my mind is yet another argument against using your primary DB as a queue, so I'm sure I am also biased from being burned in the past :)

But in a past company I worked at, the company started out thinking sure just throw the queue in the primary db for simplicity. Eventually our slow query logs and db performance monitoring tools were showing that ~40% of the db load was due to the queue inserts and queries. It may be that it was doing something incredibly inefficient and unnecessary in the particular library we were using but we did look into it pretty thoroughly, this was a few years ago though so I don't recall all of the details. And that was at normal operation, then we ran into an issue that basically brought our site down when queues backed up.

At that point it was definitely time to split out the queue, and when we did it we realized that we had implicitly been depending on transactional consistency between the queue and the app data in a few places, which was then extra work to track down and fix these types of issues. This is IMO a code smell as well in general - your data and your infrastructure should ideally not be so tightly coupled.

Managed databases are so easy to set up these days, I would still definitely recommend a separate instance for the queue vs the primary db from day 1 in any new app I build. If you do want to combine them to save money on infra, use a separate logical db and separate connection pool and everything so that it's easy to split out in the future.
Within reason, sure? The idea that that compensation should exist in perpetuity is nonsense, particularly when the people who most often are the ones getting compensated aren't actually the one's responsible for the 'creation' in the first place. But let's be clear, people very seldom 'create' knowledge, they extend existing knowledge. That's one of the main reasons why the human race has gotten as far as we have. It's something Newton understood very well, and but modern hubris seems to disregard.
I wonder what the truth is. In this article Kahle makes it sound like they are lending one digital copy for every physical copy that is locked up in a library somewhere and not circulating.

It was just a bunch of sed. It wouldn't handle generics in a general manner, so was just a script to fill a specific need in the span of a period. What was "amazing" is how much of C# didn't need any translation into Go code, for core business logic. It was up and running within say 20-30 minutes, though needed a tweak now and then (sort of like modern-day "AI" ;).
A cool solution to a common problem.
yeah. i'll try to set this to my "start" page instead of going straight to front page then.

you know if we customize the front page then we basically get something like Reddit...
In an effort to be neutral, the company’s hate speech policies treat attacks on white people or men in exactly the same way as it treats comments about Black people or women [..]

Employees said that this policy means the company’s automated content moderation tools proactively detect far more hate speech targeting white people than it does hate speech targeting Black people, even if the hate speech targeted at Black people is widely considered more offensive -- a hypothesis supported by academics and the company’s own internal research..

To avoid such an outcome, reddit used to explicitly allow hate speech against "majority" groups (in the US, despite reddit being used globally):https://web.archive.org/web/20200629172643/https://www.reddi...

They've since changed the wording to be less explicit, only forbidding hate speech against "marginalized or vulnerable" groups, without mentioning that this means hate speech against other groups is still allowed. The examples they give show their intention is the same: "Some examples of hateful activities that would violate the rule: [..] Post describing a racial minority as sub-human and inferior to the racial majority": https://www.reddithelp.com/en/categories/rules-reporting/acc...

It would be interesting to see how they would apply this rule to a South African subreddit.

I certainly appreciate what they did and I donate to the Internet Archive but what does lending to one person at a time mean here? It's on the internet, anyone could lend, as far as I know.

No problem. It looks like Linode [1] even have a way to deploy this as a pre-packaged app on a VM. I bet some other VPS providers probably do this too.

I think the problem is that models will become more and more "super-human" and computers will help with that. You can already see this in the amount of Photoshopping in ad photography. And for example in imagery aimed at children (e.g. the unrealistically big eyes of the Frozen characters). People want eye-candy and it doesn't necessarily have to be realistic.

At some point it will just be simpler and cheaper to replace Photoshop and in fact the entire photography/imaging pipeline by some AI.

The author makes the mistake of ambiguity. Colloquially, "a better x than most" implicitly means "a better x than most x", which Scott Adams is probably not for x = illustrator, but the author means "a better illustrator than most people" (I think), which Scott Adams certainly is.

Are there any specific features of IPv6 you need for inner-cloud connectivity?

If you are spinning up enough resources to exhaust even a /16 of IPv6, you can probably use your monthly bill as leverage to force the issue.
The standard controllers included on my ASUS Pro x370 board show you don't need a add-in controller. It's got 8 ports on the board, and when I do btrfs scrubs the 6 HDDs get 760 MiB/s and the 2 SATA SSDs get 1.05 GiB/s.

The scrubs start at the same time each week so it's pretty obvious the SATA controllers on that motherboard can handle at least 2 GiB/s.

I've honestly never seen a motherboard with SATA-3 6 Gbps controllers so bad that they couldn't handle a full 500 MB/s on every port.

If there is a bottleneck it would be the connection to the board chipset from the CPU. Ryzen and its board support doesn't seem to have any problems here. Especially not if the board and CPU are able to use PCIe 4.0.
The difference is when someone starts a call or an IM, its usually about something specific and so the expectation is that the conversation lasts just as long as it takes to resolve the specific issue. Spontaneity of conversation requires a culture of interaction without a specific aim. In an environment where you want to maximize such spontaneous connections, calls or IMs can't compare to always-on.
This is exactly how Russian propaganda works: “Other countries do bad stuff too, therefore we (Russian Federation) are not so bad after all”

SpaceX is one part of a replacement solution. But, you would still have to fund and build all those replacements... which could take decades, and a lot of surveillance capabilities and therefore a lot of potential deaths could occur in that time from unseen attacks.
"HN works fairly well because of the hard work of the moderators."

Moderators and size limits, the latter keeping the amount of work small enough that a couple of moderators can handle it, and aren't getting subjected to the sort of stuff Facebook moderators deal with. Obviously, not having images or video also helps that. (Though I recall some times when Slashdot trolls were taking some good swings at Can't Unsee even with those limits.)

HN is on the upper end of what a community structured in the way it is can handle, I think, and it has taken some tweaks such as hiding karma counts on comments. I'm not deeply in love with reddit-style unlimited upvote/downvote systems... in their defense, they do seem to scale to a larger system than a lot of alternatives, but it comes at a price. I do fully agree it tends to create groupthink in a community, as a structural effect, though I think that's both a positive and a negative, rather than a pure negative as some people suggest. Some aspects of "groupthink" become "community cohesion" when looked at from another point of view.

Never thought about it that way, but maybe that's why a reddit-style karma system does tend to hold relatively large communities together.

But even as one of the more scalable known systems, it still breaks down long before you hit Facebook scales, or "default Reddit subreddit" scales.
To make it scale well, two things are required:

1. TRUNCATE if cleanup is needed (no DELETEs) + partitioning.

2. SELECT .. FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED or advisory locks.

It's worth learning from Skype's PgQ developed in 2000-s.

Update: found the work with advisory locks in the code, great.
