They should work on reliability before new niche features. I work with another developer on his clients sites and he’s a Cloudflare fan. Almost every complaint and failure we’ve had reported has come from Cloudflare errors. Not issues with our stuff, issues with Cloudflare. I use cloudfront with a different set of clients with semi-high visability sites and have never had an issue stemming from it.
Now if only we could get the media to report on useful statistics, rather than total number of cases between geographic areas that differ widely in size and population.

California's not even in the top 20% for new cases over the last 7 days per capita, and is barely in the top 50% overall per capita, but we have the most individual cases overall because we have such a large population. That it gets reported along with Florida every time there's a "new record" broken in new cases (gripe number two, for a similar reason) is just the media trying to make the headlines seem as relevant as possibly to the largest audience, even if it's more fear-mongering than useful.
Written language is used, in large part, to express sensory data (ex: colors, shapes, events, sounds, temperatures, etc). Abstract models are, through inductive reasoning, extrapolated from that sensory information. So in effect more sensory data should mean more accurate abstract models.

For example, it might take several paragraphs to wholly capture all the meaningful information in one image in such a way that it can be reproduced accurately. Humans, and many animals, process large amounts of data before they are even capable of speech.

The data GPT-3 was provided with pales in comparison. It is unclear whether these GPT models are capable of induction because it may be that they need more or better sanitised data to develop abstract models. Therefore they should be scaled up further until they only negligepbly improve. If even then they, still, are incapable of general induction or have inaccurate models. Then the transformer model is not enough or perhaps we need a more diverse set of data (images, audio, thermosensors, etc).

I'm not. I'm just using flask/mongodb/whatever for some internal app. But if it's secure by default I need to jump through a bunch of hoops to secure something that won't even be on the public internet.

> But now your argument has nothing to do with the AGPL at all and everything to do with not doing business with disagreeable people.

The ability for anyone to contribute is an inherent and intended feature of the AGPL, and it's something unique when compared to a traditional EULA for commercial software. The potential risks to this model might not be intentional, but they are nonetheless a result of the design.

>And many free software projects require copyright assignment (e.g. the FSF requires this), so in all of those cases you're not dealing with 10,000 different parties, only the one

To your point about arguments having nothing to do with the AGPL -- this is not part of the AGPL, and many AGPL projects do not have a copyright assignment agreement.

The bottom line of my point is -- risk is amplified by uncertainty.

[A little bit of uncertainty] * [a bunch of organizations who DGAF about us at all] = [possibly a significant concern]

[A little bit of uncertainty] * [one organization with a profitable, existing, and predictable relationship] = [disagreements are probably being settled by an invoice not a lawsuit]

Related to the dollar being global reserve currency, which encourages a trade deficit. The US has a deficit equal to the next 15 biggest deficits combined. On the other hand, Germany, Japan and South Korea are top 5 trade surpluses.

Manufacturing is also directly tied to national security, regardless of how many choose to ignore this.

They and many competitors offer models in every price range, starting at 50$. Of course they will also offer very high end devices with features you won't find on an Apple watch.

I'm pretty sure the 200$ model has features that Apple doesn't have. One is primarily a lifestyle product and the other is primarily focused towards athletes. Both brands overlap with some products but I wouldn't say they found a way to really get their foot into others' market.
A person who is never taught to read will never be able to respond to written text. So the renaissance-era man is working "solely" based on their lived experience with text, which compared to GPT(n) is tiny.

Ah! you cry. Don't humans have some sort of hard-wiring for speech and language? Perhaps. But it is clearly completely incapable of enabling an untrained human to deal with written text. Does it give the human a head start in learning to deal with written text? Perhaps (maybe even probably). It demonstrably takes much less training than GPT(n) does.

But that is sort of the point of the comment at the top of this chain.
That's not strictly true. The suburbs were rolled out, interstate highway travel became widespread, commercial air travel took off, computing was just beginning, television started to proliferate, retail expanded, air conditioning became widespread...there were numerous technological expansions and improvements in quality of life.

Sound money ensured that money was invested in things that actually produced productivity improvements. We coasted on the residual returns of investments from earlier eras, but productive investment, I would argue, has declined since those earlier decades. ROIs on loaned money have declined in the zero interest rate era.

American Freight automation will be a crazy beast. Closed lines can be fully automated, and we are seeing a lot of PTC (positive train control) such as automatically enforcing speed limits and collision detection. The driver is supposed to know when they are approaching a red signal -- nowadays the engine notices too.

However, the nationwide freight network is interconnected by many different companies, in various states of repair, with various states of mechanization. I live near a bunch of grain processors and when they are taking deliveries it is a lot of manual switching and back and forth to get each plant's cars to the right lines.

Could it be automated? Yes, the technology is available, you 'just' have to implement it. Will it be? Probably not anytime soon.

That was the strongest wording "against" that I saw. And that is the typical "no evidence" disclaimer, not an evidence of no proof or evidence of harm.

That is basically what happened in the 1980s in the US with SEMATECH. I remember a computer tv show in the 80s talking about government participation. I didn’t hear qualms about it then.

I think it was fear of lost of the memory business to Japanese companies. It worked out for the US in that Intel switch to and dominated the CPU business and you had the rise of fabless.

But perhaps the way forward is, just as email pushed us ahead through massive interconnected communication, so is swapping files through massive interconnected communication. I'm sick of not being able to send digital artefacts > 25MB to people, and having corporate emails reject 15MB files.

Perhaps it's the next leap forward.

I think there's a good argument that's not the case, but I think there's an argument we should try it.

It's time for Swan to go back to bean counting and MBA activities and bring in a technical CEO who can push innovation like Lisa Su is doing at AMD. With that said, I am very much considering taking a stock position in Intel. It's very cheap, very solid divvy (2.6%), and eventually will come back.
Comparing manufacturing output between time periods doesn't make a lot sense. How many 1980s mainframes equals one iPhone? It's a woefully incomplete question if you goal is to reason about economic value/output. Computing is not particularly special in this respect...

The manufacturing/services divide itself is a bit silly without careful attention, and I think is incredibly overplayed because "manufacturing" aligns with a bunch of other political/economic geography stuff.

This is true everywhere, not just in computing where it's most obvious. Even agriculture in a lot of ways.

By the time you apply all that careful attention, any sort of meaningful macro work becomes impossible. You're just doing a whole ton of little sector-by-sector analyses.

And it gets worse if you start looking at the labor economics instead of just measuring output.
It used to be that manufacturing-related services and the physical work of manufacturing were relatively coupled. The people working in the manufacturing plants more-or-less knew how all the equipment worked. That's not really at all the case anymore.
Yeah they had zero customer service at both stores I've been to, so it was best to do your research and go with a list and alternatives in hand. They didn't really want to help you discover what you need and their online ordering was very unreliable at the time.

There are a number of companies focused on making masks in the US. Anyone know the current sales figures?

Unless I am mistaken, NZ did not ask (=require) the general public to wear masks because the NZ government was primarily following information disseminated through the WHO as guidance.
Your link from NZ doesn’t advise against masks:

Yes because the we don’t do things like blow up other countries to “bring democracy”. We also don’t have anywhere near the highest rate of incarceration in the industrial world. We aren’t the only democratic nation that still has capital punishment and we believe that health care should be a universal right.

Not to mention we would never have the federal government sending a police force into cities that don’t want them.

The US is not exactly a “light on a shining hill”.

My blog at https://www.silviogutierrez.com is React+Django strictly server side. I like JSX that much. Try loading it with JS disabled.

Same at my business site: https://www.joyapp.com.

It was a huge ordeal getting it setup (with React SSR, etc), but it's definitely doable. I've open sourced it but it sorely needs documentation (incoming):

https://github.com/silviogutierrez/reactivated

Basically, despite the tooling (not because of it), once you get going with JSX, TypeScript and the like, nothing else comes close. At least in my experience.

But again, none of the above stops me from dumping that output into a single cache key per request. It's still dynamic, just cached robustly.
Thinking of the same thing. Really wonder what sort of politics and power play is happening behind the scene. I thought Jim Keller lost when he was obviously pushing for using TSMC.

Looking for FinTech Engineering Mgr advice on a few day-1 architecture decisions
Hi all -

We're looking for a FinTech Engineering Manager who would be interested in helping us with some day-1 architectural decisions and who could guide us set up our engineering team.

This isn't a full-time role yet, although it could become one long-term.

For context: My co-founder (MIT) and I started a company called Carlypso after graduating from Stanford Business School in 2013. We went through YC in 2014, raised $10M Series A from August Capital by 2015 and sold the business to Carvana.com in 2017.

We joined Carvana pre-IPO, went public at a $2.5bn valuation and are now worth $25bn.

After 3 years, my co-founder and I left to start a digital auto finance platform. Our new business is all around helping Americans with challenged credit and doing our part to address income inequality.

We left Carvana on June 1st, just closed a healthy seed round and are off to the races making our first hires as we speak.

Excited to get your thoughts!

Not quite. Next allows you to dynamically generate static content both at build time – and with this latest update – at _runtime_ as well. It generates code-split bundles for each page, enabling extremely thin pages to minimize the amount of content loaded with zero configuration. You nailed the big advantage though, more eloquently than I was able to articulate: a unified code-base for both initial rendering and interactivity.

Next _also_ supports rendering things on the server if you'd like. So you're not giving up anything at all, there's no trade-off with respect to rendering patterns, unless you just prefer to use another language to build your 'frontend'.

Hosting is 'separate', but the framework snugly fits into a modern hosting paradigm in a way that most others do not.

I saw a job posting on my universities' IT depratments' job board. Another (non-IT) department wanted an application implemented in a specific way that was completely unsuitable. Not impossible to implement, just the wrong tool for the job and it would be a nightmare for the users.

I wasn't particularly interested in doing the job, as I wasn't short on money and had a "real" job lined up, but I did reach out to the department, asked whether there was a specific reason for the requirements (there wasn't), explained the better alternatives, and offered to help them write a better ad, and if they really couldn't find anyone else, implement it (for a fixed price that would result in an above-average hourly rate for me, which I was transparent about).

I ended up implementing it, and it is an implementation that at that time would have been controversial, but still seems to be the right choice even with many more years of experience and hindsight.

Had I simply ignored it, the most likely outcome is that thousands of students would have had to suffer with a really bad system. That code I'm still proud of.
