This has been there for the past 40 years at least; there were dbase tools, case tools, rad tools, 4gl etc. One reason I know of from experience from no/low code use by companies and why they gave it up over the past 25 years I have been working professionally in software dev is not that they were too inflexible (they were but that was not the issue; companies grew around the processes, not processes around companies); it was because all of them were proprietary and they got sold and killed off. There are hardly any open source ones or stable ones (as in price/support/upkeep etc) (which you need if you want to run your corps erp etc in top for decades), especially in the past. Now it is even worse; for the 80/90s ones, when you had it locally installed, it would still work now, but with the cloud, it is just waiting for the company to shut the doors or getting sold and gone is your company infrastructure.

Even the on premise installs are not enough; you need a lot more. I saw a lot clients choosing Outsystems because you could eject to readable c# or java. Not sure if anyone ever did but I know it was used as a reason to pick them over others. At least they spent time making the ejected code looking ok: many do not have the option and then you have, at most, an on-premise blob which, probably you cannot use after the company gets sold, dies or gets into legal issues.
I downvoted you for putting false information that countries outside of the US don't have similar anti circumvention laws, FWIW.
Any idea what the most cost effective VPS for this purpose would be?
Well exactly - lots of specific details of literally cutting someone open that aren't relevant for a considered application of nuclear weapons.

But really I meant being able to 'bring yourself' to cut someone.
Seems like you're asking for UI components (page, panel, button) that you can just use? This isn't the problem Next is trying to solve. You might be better off with something like MaterialUI, Ant, Bootstrap, of any of the many other batteries-included UI frameworks.

Or I guess Web Components were supposed to solve this problem, too, but I think they missed their window.

And frankly the technologies that were built to support Google+ have evolved into the underlying technologies for almost every new project at Google. Even with the failure of Google+ as a product the value of what was developed probably still makes Google+ a net positive on the balance sheets.

Lifespan is a general problem with aging disorders. These studies take forever to run and cost so much, but we pour the money in anyway. Theres definitely some work with nonhuman primates - but with the brain no model is really that great. I mean, it's not surprising, our brain is kind of our defining characteristic as a species. Though with organoids made from our brain tissue, maybe we'll have better luck.
I’ve always just picked them up used. Never paid more than $10 for a cable modem. I even keep a spare around in case my first one blows up. So many people have these things sitting around from changing providers or moving.
>I have yet to hear of an investor or a fund manager, though, who consistently beats the market.

Renaissance Technologies? Funny enough, it's always the people outside the industry with the least amount of information who believe in EMH.

To be clear, there are other great many firms that consistently crush it (including mine), but you probably haven't heard of them, or they are proprietary trading operations vs mutual/hedge funds.

But regardless, the point of a hedge fund manager isn't to beat the market anyways: it's to provide uncorrelated return.
Given that I feel that Apple, Amazon and Google all have deals with a number of key marketing companies where they sell your marketing id based on keywords their devices "hear".

Your feelings notwithstanding, there is zero evidence of this that I've seen.

>Also, despite having 4 billion miles of sensory data, that hasn't stopped Tesla from being the industry leader in self-driving fatalities. The rest of the industry combined has only a single fatality.

You are missing the point. Tesla is the industry leader in fatalities primarily because they have such a huge lead in the number of miles. Miles are not directly comparable to each other because each company has a different approach, but Tesla's fatality rate is 1 every 800 million miles. Waymo appears to be the leader among the rest of the industry with 20 million miles. How can you predict Waymo is safer than Tesla at this point? They may end up being safer, but it is way too early to say that right now.
Paywalled, but macrumors has a report on the content of this article: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/10/27/apple-foxconn-profit-ma...

What's really surprising is that these "attempts to increase their margins" read like fraud (claiming they need more staff than they actually hired, using Apple equipment to manufacture for work for Apple's competitors, not doing the testing work they agreed). Especially astonishing is giving Google a tour of the production line for an unannounced Apple product.

I'm surprised Apple hasn't dropped them already - I assume they're doing that slowly as part of their diversification strategy here.

Facebook, and Twitter and Google were built by particular libertarian-types who were young and idealistic. They erred on the side of openness and really disliked regulating content. I don't mind them.

The people who are taking over these companies, those people I'm afraid of because they are political and their first instinct is to push ideology and censorship.
> Conscious experience is a seamless unified whole

I disagree, it seems to be totally disrupted by general anesthesia. Having experienced it, from my perspective it was time travel in a way that normal sleep never is. When you wake up from sleep there is some perception of time passed, and therefore a sort of continuity. Not so under general anesthesia. The time spent under is simply gone without even leaving a sensation of a missing gap.
We've got tons of clinical trials going on. None of them have worked so far, but nevertheless, we spend billions experimenting on humans, and trials are always looking for volunteers
Mobilizon appears to be a Fediverse server just like Mastodon, Pleroma, and others.
That depends on the timeframe you consider, and how much push-back there is against this and whether or not the RIAA continues to overreach. If the awareness results in policy changes that preserve something like "archive-preserving tools" then RIAA will have lost the fight against tools that have the potential to infringe.
GPT is great at text generation, but astonishingly poor at coherent text generation over a a window of more than a few sentences.

To be fair, this is a massive improvement from SOTA ten years ago, but it's definitely nowhere near AGI (and maybe not even a finger pointing at the moon).

So, a few small "wins"; nothing major; nothing that is actually addressing the real concerns of these people that their culture and way of life is being changed forcibly around them without their consent. I don't think you'll find anyone that is satisfied with any of the above - at most perhaps someone who revels in this as some kind of revenge, but it doesn't accomplish what GOP voters want: the return of a strong middle class White culture that reflects the world they believe their ancestors to have been struggling toward.

U.S. airports do this too, but you can opt-out.

Some flights from Europe to US do this at the gate -- there's no opt-out. I remember flying AA from AMS and everybody had to get scanned before boarding (CBP agents were present).
As an American this only hit home for me when visiting England in July. Sunset at 10pm and sunrise at 4am was lovely, But I wouldn't much like to visit in January with only six hours of daylight.

I tried Polar out about a year ago and it was too buggy to keep using, but I liked the idea. Today, giving it another shot, I see some serious work has gone into it and it's really expanded into something interesting. Kudos to you and your co-founder!

The only thing stopping me from going all-in on paying for Polar and using it as the "hub" of my reading (mostly technical docs, long-form blogs, whitepapers, and textbooks) is the lack of tie-in with E Ink readers, which I vastly prefer for reading and note-taking over computer screens.

I use a ReMarkable 2 tablet for reading technical docs (nd a Kindle Oasis for casual nonfiction. It would completely "connect the ecosystem" if there were ways to sync with my readers or at least push documents to them and pull annotations back. Boox, ReMarkable, and other popular E Ink tablets have APIs, OTG USB disk access, and other ways to interchange the docs (with authorization). I'm seeing loads of hacks for them on Github, so maybe even opening a plugin system would be enough; the community would contribute to fill in the gaps.

IMO, this is the killer final piece of the puzzle and would keep my reading and note-taking in one wonderfully organized place, which is something I'm 100% interested in paying for and supporting.
With the rise in popularity of doing HD remakes, mini-consoles, and just plain re-releases on new platforms, I can't imagine that would go over well with publishers/developers.

JavaScript's Memory Management Explained
I think you can extend that kind of thinking to its logical conclusion, i.e. "what is the value of leisure time?", and then you arrive at a question that's been debated by philosophers... well, as long as philosophy has existed.

I struggle with this question for myself, certainly. I know I could be working on some kind of revenue-generating side project, or volunteering my time on a political campaign I believe in, or working to feed the homeless, but instead I play video games. Is that.. okay? Is it "right" or "good"? I don't know that I have a perfect answer.

I know this much: without some amount of leisure time, I'd go crazy, nor would I be much use in any of my "productive" capabilities; so clearly, there's an amount of leisure time that is a net good for me. I think the question becomes: what is that amount?

It seems like the concept of psychological injury is treated as a second class event where often it can leave scars for years or even lifetime.
I agree yes. "Traditional computing paradigms" are (IMO) not all that interesting as research topics at this point. As far as I know, most of the work in that space is in branch prediction and cache replacement policies.

FPGAs are what you really want when you need to deal with high resolution data that is coming in at very high data rates. Often even a very fast general-purpose processor with hand-tuned assembly simply won't have even the theoretical memory throughput to process your data without "dropping frames". They also have the benefit of deterministic performance, which with modern caching/branch prediction systems you can't guarantee (AFAIK, my computer architecture knowledge isn't that cutting edge).

They can also work really well if you have some computation you want to do that is so far off the beaten path for general-purpose processors (or so memory bound) that FPGAs can take the cake.

There is also some work in sprinkling even more hardlogic into the FPGA dies, like processors or accelerator cores for various applications. FPGAs are great for implementing the glue logic to move data between those.
You apply different standards of rigor based on the failure modes. If the avionics software catastrophically fails in a commercial airliner hundreds of people could die. If there is a critical software malfunction in a single gas stove that could result in it filling a house in the middle of a night with gas and there are no other safety precautions then maybe four people could die. This is already a 1-2 order of magnitude difference in risk and easy to mitigate by having a hardware safety interlock which reduces dependence on software reliability.

The real problem in these cases is internet-connectivity + software-control. Without internet-connectivity, your primary failure mode is random chance. The probability of failure of each system is largely independent from the others as there are few ways to induce simultaneous failure in all such systems. This means that the worst-case failure mode of any individual error is the worst-case of single-system failure which, for most systems, is relatively limited. However, once you add in internet-connectivity, you now introduce an easy way to induce simultaneous failure. Since these systems will all be running the same software, an error in one is an error in all, and you can now exploit the error in all simultaneously. This instantly adds a gigantic single point of failure whose failure mode is critical failure in all systems at the same time.

Suddenly, the software failure mode of an internet-connected gas stove with remote turn-on [1] is no longer one house blowing up in the middle of the night killing possibly 4 people, it is every one of the houses buying the 3.5 million gas stoves sold this year [1] blowing up killing possibly 14 million people. The introduction of internet-connectivity raises the worst case failure mode from a tragedy to approximately a nuclear first strike and surpassing Hitler as a mass murderer. They should not be releasing internet-connected gas stoves unless every engineer on their team is comfortable that their security would be good enough to connect the US nuclear arsenal to the internet since the worst-case consequences are equally bad.

Our awareness of the outside world isn't seamless, e.g. our blindspot. But our experience of the outside world is seamless. This experience is normally what consciousness refers to, i.e. qualia.

How to Remove Gender Bias from Early UX Design Phases
I saw now that I have to evaluate two lines of code, how do I set up my dot-files so that this happens? I am kinda lost.
How do these games work? sounds like they're, by definition, balanced by obscurity. If they're so vast, they can't possibly have good coverage of good design.
I think in addition to this, people's engagement in hobbies often allows them the mental plasticity to return to difficult problems with a solution. Improving on something that doesn't necessarily benefit society directly, but which one finds personally fulfilling, tends to make people more energised when it comes to those society-building concerns (whether as activism, community engagement, or scientific advancement as previously mentioned.)
Trotsky used 'isms as a political weapon to rile up the useful idiots. Some people have learned from history while others have not.
I'm extremely confused by this reply.

I essentially said this destroys HughesNet Gen5, and then went on to explain why its dominant market position could result in higher prices, and you felt that needed a reply saying that Starlink is superior to HughesNet? Huh?

Given the statements made in the article, it would seem rather straightforward to look at the incidence of ADRD in the population of existing carvedilol patients. I would think such a thing would precede even a model study, and it's interesting there was no mention of such research. Knowing basically nothing of how such data might be collected or kept, is this trivial or stupidly difficult?

So what you're saying is that React spawned an army of people who we can call developers, despite them not knowing how browsers and HTTP works, what algorithms are, how to approach developing your javascript app so it doesn't become spaghetti mess in 24 seconds and abusing terminology from systems programming just in order to make their field appear more serious than it is?

Now, what word could we use for people who are not.. well, "developers"? Programmers maybe?

But due to its micro-size, it won't take long to learn.
Though you could presumably just do the same thing with new instructions, i.e. have an instruction for secure zeroing which zeros the data in any memory or cache where it exists but doesn't cause the zeros to be cached anywhere they weren't already.
Interesting. On the one hand Starlink costs 10x as much for equipment and 10x as much for service as compared to LTE. On the other hand Starlink is 10x faster and half the latency of LTE.

A simple factor of 10 increase in both price and speed is not impressive. I'm gonna say I'm not overwhelmingly convinced until Starlink delivers more for less.

Using Mentors –– for first-time CEOs
It amazes me that something like this can be done by a single person.

In aviation any time input is given to the machine, it's entered by one human (typically pilot flying) and then verified by the other human (typically pilot monitoring) before being committed to or executed. For example... when a new altitude is assigned by ATC, say FL300, the pilot flying will spin it in the selector window and keep his hand or finger there until the second pilot agrees with and confirms the selection by reading FL300 out of the selector window.

I know there are meat bags in these giant tubes so that changes attitudes towards safety etc. However, it seems to me that when organizations start putting the power to halt nearly the entire business in the hands of one person, there should be some slightly different attitudes. A breaking change in a million servers could easily cost hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions in lost revenue or employee productivity.

I'm just an outsider though. Perhaps this level of attention is practiced at some shops. It's just interesting to me how in some fields we settle on pretty uniform standard practices whereas others are seen as non-human-life threatening so it's just shoot first, ask questions later.

The source code amounts to instructions that could be used to violate copyright. So there's a distinction here: Is it illegal to tell people how to violate copyright, when that method has other uses? If so, what about a blog post telling you how you can use your cell phone camera to record a youtube video?
Mass produced commodity processors will always win in price/performance. That's why x86 won, despite "more efficient" machines (Itanium, SPARC, DEC Alpha, PowerPC, etc. etc.) being developed.

One of the few architectures to beat x86 in price/performance was ARM, because ARM aimed at even smaller and cheaper devices than even x86's ambitions. Ultimately, ARM "out-x86'd" the original x86 business strategy.

-------------

GPUs managed to commoditize themselves thanks to the video game market. Most computers have a GPU in them today, if only for video games (iPhone, Snapdragon, normal PCs, and yes, game consoles). That's an opportunity for GPU-coders, as well as supercomputers who want a "2nd architecture" more suited for a 2nd set of compute problems.

-----

FPGAs will probably never win in price / performance (unless some "commodity purpose" is discovered. I find that highly unlikely). Where FPGAs win is absolute performance, or performance/watt, in some hypothetical tasks that CPUs or GPUs don't do very well. (Ex: BTC Mining, or Deep Learning Systolic Arrays, or... whatever is invented later)

Computers are so cheap, that even a $10,000 FPGA may save more electricity than an equivalent GPU, over the 3 year lifespan of their usage. Electricity costs of data-centers are pretty huge.

The ultimate winner is of course, ASICs, a dedicated circuit for whatever you're trying to do. (Ex: Deep Blue's chess ASIC. Or Alexa's ASIC to interpret voice commands). But FPGAs serve as a stepping stone between CPUs and ASICs.

------

If you have a problem that's already served by a commodity processor, then absolutely use a standard computer! FPGAs are for people who have non-standard problems: weird data-movement, or compute so DENSE that all those cache-layers in the CPU (or GPU) just gets in the way.
I wake up in the mornings with "Shit Shower Shave" and leave the house with "Wallet Watch Testicles Spectacles". Simple mnemonics work, doubly so if you actually say them out loud and check them each off.
In a remote-working world, the best talent should always command top-dollar, regardless of where they live. If they are absolutely rockstar talent and can be just as good remotely, then why wouldn't they command the highest salary? In fact, they should be able to command even more money now as all the remote-OK companies bid for them without any friction over moving / commute issues.

Honestly it's a win-win-win - a win for the company that has far larger talent pool, win for the employee who gets paid more and can move to a more desirable, low cost-of-living location, and win for the "left-behind" areas of the country where many rich techies will move to.

This will reduce class divisions and equalize our communities without any coercion and continue to allow highly-skilled labor to extract maximum income from capital. I very much like this shift towards remote work - it is the silver lining to come out of the pandemic.
