The original question was: "what a current Amiga would be in order to capture the qualitative jump the original offered when it was launched?".

There were computers before the Amiga as well, but it represented a shift from computers as a business tool to a general purpose device.

What the iPhone did was introduce a whole new way of thinking about the phone -- as an entertainment device -- in the same way that the Amiga changed the paradigm of what we expected from computers. As the next comment pointed out, that change is not coming on the desktop PC again. It has to be something that really shifted the paradigm on computing and I think the iPhone did that. I owned a PocketPC and a Palm Treo, but those were both productivity tools and the iPhone was something entirely different in the same way Amgiga was a shift away from the PC as a business tool.

What the I think the "next big thing" will lack is the second part of the question: "and somehow preserving some of its identity." I don't see another plucky upstart shifting the hardware paradigm of computing. Though that might be because I lack the creativity, skill or vision to see what that might be.
We seem to be re-enacting the Symbolic vs Connectionist AI debate of the 80s, poorly.

All I'm saying is, Norvig should have been more humble and included a chapter or two about ANNs, with all the research accumulated thus far, instead of betting 100% for the symbolic approach. Let the next generation of students learn both approaches and decide for themselves. It's sad that a whole generation of students was taught AI from this archaic book.
Had a bit of a scare a few years ago at age 29. Due to a family history of digestive issues, the doctor figured a colonoscopy would be worth doing. There was a long thread about this a few days. It's not big deal. You drink a gallon of salt water, visit the bathroom a few times, and the procedure can take place in a small sterile doctor's room - a mini hospital, you can say. Within 30 minutes of waking up from the anesthesia I was back in the office. Hardly a big deal. The hardest part wasn't the prep, it was being hungry and running out of shows to watch on Netflix. Just do it if you're in the age bracket and haven't already.
> The reasoning behind this proposed interlock is that any logic which concludes that it is moral and rational to harm hundreds of thousands of people must also conclude that it is moral and rational to harm the "interlock" individual.

Yes, but you can know it's the right thing to do, but not be able to physically do it.

The president's ability to physically cut someone open is not relevant to whether it's a good idea to use nuclear weapons or not. Him being unable to do it tells you nothing about whether they should be launching the weapons.

If the president fails the test that tells you nothing about whether the launch is the right thing to do. Doesn't that fundamentally make the test bad?

Does Next.js do pre-rendering, i.e. if I have a store with 500 products, will it pre-render the HTML (photos, etc.) for all 500 products and serve it as a static request? Or will it assemble the template on the server, send it down to the client and then do some amount of interactivity hydration later on during the page load?

What if my store has multicurrency / multilingual versions of all these 500 pages - will it pre-render all of these combinations?

I haven't used a JS framework with server-side rendering in a while - but from what I remember it seemed to add a terribly high TTFB to the overall page load, which negatively impacted SEO. As a result we abandoned SSR based frameworks completely and just went with minimal JS on the client and pre-rendered all the pages on the server as HTMLs which loaded pretty much instantly.

Most of the time when I see the "new hotness" being advertised, there don't really seem to be any specifics that tackle advanced use-cases so it's difficult to accurately assess whether the technology is worth serious consideration
As far as I can tell, there isn't much political will to fix it. Merchants already have the freedom to offer lower prices, and some do for paying with cash/debit. But for the most part, I think merchants are betting that people will spend more with credit cards.

Similarly, consumers also like the cash back/rewards game. Plus there are benefits to having an arbiter when dealing with an unknown party in a transaction.

In general, I find people, probably due to the sheer difference in timescale that is beyond palpable understanding, to appreciate that our collective environmental impact precludes other species the evolutionary time to adapt to our impact and to fill gaps in "species web" to fill all the extinctions that are occurring.

Mass extinctions in the past were over a timescale of thousands of years, so there was some time for evolutionary "computation" to adapt.

Human mass extinction is occurring on the timescale of decades.
> This suggests that the various companies employing people to work on Postgres-related stuff (like Microsoft, perhaps due to their purchase of Citus) have more lucrative work they'd rather do instead of improve this at the design level.

Well I - the author of this post, employed by MS - did just work quite a while on improving connection scalability. And, as I outlined in the precursor blog post, improving snapshot scalability practically is a prerequisite of changing the connection model to handle significantly larger numbers of connections...

Trying to fix things like this in one fell swoop instead of working incrementally tends to not work in my experience. It's much more likely to succeed if a large project can be chopped up into individually beneficial steps.

I'm the absence of a specific story, we are estimating based on our assumptions about how many retractions your "average" paper would make. Knowing what I do about incentives, any paper without rigorous principles of going to tend to issue fewer retractions. It's time consuming, doesn't drive revenue, personally embarrassing for people. It actually takes a lot of journalistic integrity to issue any retractions at all (how many have you personally published to a large audience?).

It's fairly clear to me that the burden of proof lies with the extraordinary claim that the NY Post is even close to the level of journalistic rigor as the NY Times, let alone so far surpasses it that they issue fewer retractions because of the accuracy of their reporting.

You're asking me to prove water is wet. You're showing me a dog in a trench coat and telling me it's an accomplished neurosurgeon. Have you ever even read the Post or the Times? Have you lived in NY, and are familiar with either publication? I'm pretty sure I'm done arguing because you've presented nothing of substance on your side, besides the claim that I have not provided logical evidence, which is correct, but I reject that burden. Feel free to offer any information of value you might have.

Disappointed but not at all surprised. Teams is the poster child of the kind of software that users are forced to use, and so functionality, polish, overall experience, security or anything else doesn't matter to the Microsoft as long as the account managers/IT/COO etc. are kept happy.

> Not exactly standard Silicon Valley MVP style prove the business model, acquire customers, and then get series A investment.

It's solving a hard problem and you don't build a Series A around an unsolved hard problem even when you know that there's market demand. That's why nobody is running a startup selling electricity below cost as an MVP for their fusion reactor back-of-a-napkin sketch.

If it's just a matter of aggressive driving, I'm sure Waymo has a dial they can turn that would make them go faster, and then Uber has already proven the market for them. But they need to get the safety margins up before doing that, which is a hard problem.

Is it the Silicon Valley model? Well it's not the get rich quick VC model. It's much more like the Bell Labs model of growing a transformative but immature technology in house until it's ready to deploy.
Uber Pool is maybe 50-70% of the price for 2-3x the time.

Waymo would be, what -- 25% or 30% of the price for maybe 1.2x the time? And with total privacy, which Uber Pool doesn't provide?

And heck, a Waymo Pool might be just 10-15% of the price. That would be revolutionary.

I can't imagine the market not demanding that. The tradeoffs are totally different from Uber Pool.
I'm not sure i would have either. this is not not a security bug. this is pure negligence and doesn't deserve the courtesy IMHO.

You can set it up to retrieve all 500 products and render the html on the server.

> What if my store has multicurrency / multilingual versions of all these 500 pages - will it pre-render all of these combinations?

The server is making all the requests that would have been made on the frontend. So if the server knew the locale of the user it could presumably load the correct currency and language.
I don't have nearly enough insight into the inner workings of the minds of Northwestern University Law School administrators to guess.
> if you want to build something that is interactive, data-driven, and responsive at the same time you will always be forced to render on the client-side

I'm not sure I personally agree with this blanket statement. Connection times can be, for a vast majority of users, measured in tens of milliseconds, giving us a pretty good budget for processing and rendering while still appearing to be "instantaneous" (100ms) or "fluid" (1s). Even the worst case connection times (satellite & mobile) are still measurable using hundreds of milliseconds.

The worst ranked countries still average in excess of 1.5 Mbps transmission rates - more than enough for compressed text.

And, given how unresponsive so many "top 100" SSA pages are (such as blogs that take whole seconds to display their initial content), I can't agree that doing that processing on the server would actually be less interactive or responsive.

Even the test application from this article can load from scratch in under a second, most of that time being the DNS resolution and the server processing for serving the page.
Yes, and I am considering moving more in that direction. I've actually quite enjoyed specifying and implementing safety-critical PLC software in my new career. But I'd really like to invest more time in formal specification and verification, particularly in embedded software!

Which is frustrating. Isn't the information needed to do this provided by youtube themselves? This isn't some private key that wasn't supposed to be public; it's literally given out every time you view a video using it.

Also, the "examples" were tests that used a given algorithm, as there may be different methods used on different videos.

Next.js can do both pre-rendering (static output) and dynamic server-side rendering. I can't speak to your questions about internationalization though.

The people that were "disciplined" were the offenders, not the people reporting the offense. Nevermind what I said. That said, I agree, they should definitely not be working for that company anymore (at least). It doesn't matter if you're firing your golden goose. This shows the level of respect this company has for the people it's surveilling, though, if even their own employees, when under surveillance, experience this level of disrespect.

I think Hotz's hypothesis re: uber pool may not be correct. I don't think it's the slowness alone that has people reject uber pool, it's the slowness + having to share with yet another stranger. Robotaxis promise cheaper rides AND no social awkwardness.

However, I think you're right about the capital intensiveness of Waymo's approach. Not only do they have to spring for the capex (vs Tesla where they have conned^H^H^Hvinced their customers to front the capital for the fleet) but they have to operate a continuous remapping fleet to keep their hi-def maps up to date. Possible they could incorporate that part into the taxis, but it's still something Tesla doesn't have to do. In my mind, there are two possibilities: Waymo works and Tesla just never quite gets there, and thus Waymo has the time to gradually map and roll out to cities all over the world, or Tesla works too, and has much more attractive economics, and thus can deploy faster and owns the market, even if it takes it longer to achieve "true" FSD. Only time will tell.

I think the onus is on you to prove that the use cases are shallow and limited. I've seen GPT-3 already being used for diverse and interesting ideas that would not have occurred to me personally.

However, even if they are, the point stands: currently, there are teams of people at companies all over the world tuning models for these shallow and limited use-cases. GPT-3 can replace them all, without OpenAI needing to invest another cent in training for a particular customer's use-case. That is in fact game-changing for the ML/DL world and current applications thereof.

Is it AGI? Obviously not. But the vast majority of ML applications don't need to be.

You may be correct, but I would just note that Uber and Uberpool are not perfect by any means. I've had a good number of ubers that are dirty or smelly, that have poor drivers, that have inadequate trunk space, or that have little to no leg room. Sometimes it is great with ubers, but it can be very hit or miss.

Customers may be willing to trade off on ride speed if Waymo gives them a better user experience in terms ride quality and vehicle standardization (i.e. the roomy Waymo minivan).
