Completely Agree. Affordable E-Ink large external displays[1] have become like fusion energy.

That said, I wonder why there hasn't been a competing tech e.g. like LED vs LCD; Are the fundamental physics behind E-Ink so perfect for the low-power display that no other alternative is possible (or) is it just the absurd patent which stifles even exploring this direction.

thats still not a good enough reason to maintain a failing system.
Stand Alone Complexes, yeah
I think this line of reasoning is dependent on your perspective. The current reality is that most places in the world have loads of private- and publicly-controlled/owned cameras observing public spaces for various reasons, and these cameras are often called upon to assist with apprehending and punishing wrongdoers.

So is it me asking for an exemption which would help law enforcement protect me and my family as we get around on foot or by bike? Or is it the drivers asking for an ongoing exemption from being asked to actually follow the laws which are supposed to apply to them?
this info implies a pretty narrow view about why people chose a field of study.
Most likely the generators were damaged from the blast & didn’t kick on when commercial power was cut off. The batteries then would have lasted 3-4 hrs.

Good intro.

Shameless plug: I recently picked up Golang and used it to implement a mini version of Git CLI using these internals [1].

They made slightly faster modems at 16800 or 19200 if both sides are running Zyxels.
Heh, as a poor student I scrounged enough for a 386sx, then later bought a non-Intel coprocessor, cyrix I think. It had 90 bits of intermediate precision (instead of Intel's 80) if you kept values on the stack. I think I managed to keep almost the entire mandelbrot calc on the stack.

Snowflake's `Snowpark` product that they recently announced, which is to bring Spark-like APIs to Snowflake.

Having a DS background, I love what SQL-orchestration tool dbt (and peers) have enabled: data consumers to rapidly create our own safe data pipelines. There's easily a 10x productivity improvement for most of my transformation pipelines vs. when I write them in Python or PySpark.

But batch ML and SQL are not that friendly (even BigQuery ML is too limiting). I end up butchering dbt's value (simplicity and iteration speed), splitting the DAG into pieces and orchestrating them with Airflow so that I can wedge in other non-dbt parts (like feature engineering, inference, logging, detecting stale models, ...). This isn't what the future looks like.

I've tried switching to Databricks, but do not see this as the path forward for unioning the warehouse + batch ML.

Hopefully Snowpark is a step forward :)

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

Separately, https://materialize.com/ is something I'm paying attention to! Being able to implement all of my SQL-based pipelines as materialized views would be immensely valuable. They recently raised capital and they could become huge.

Ex-telco here. Wherever underground diesel tanks are practical, they use that instead. Nat-gas is for dense urban installations only, as I understand it.
By “the temp” do you mean the global temp? Here’s a paper about this:

The phenomenon you’re referring to seems to be regional, in contrast to global warming. Global warming has plenty of regional variation, but the average temperature of the whole planet is, in fact, increasing quite a bit.

True. I visited Medellin a couple of times between 97 and 2006 when I was doing business in LATAM, and I recall clearly that many locals had tremendous admiration for Escobar, constantly praising all he did for the city and the community, while de-emphasizing, and sometimes justifying, the true nature and methods of his business.

I met Fr. Foster as a volunteer at the senior facility he resided in. Studied Latin with him. Ate olives and drank wine in his room. Was able to see him a few weeks ago. We planned on watching “Barbarians” on Netflix when this pandemic business was over. Talked about cross country train trips. He asked for a hug when I left. Told him I couldn’t get that close. Last thing we said to each other: “love you”. I have no words and I have so many words.
There’s no evidence that it’s more deadly at this time.

In the words of Derek Lowe...

“Many infectious pathogens, in fact, gradually evolve versus a given animal host to be more infectious and less virulent over time. Remember, it’s not the job of a virus to make people deathly ill: it’s the job of a virus to make more virus.”

I have pretty low faith in USPTO (or, to be fair, any other organization), making reasonable predictions on the technology value. And even if they did, I think inventors would feel low-balled: "those idiots did not understand the revolutionary benefit of my invention", etc.

Rather than trying to estimate the value of the idea we could drastically reduce the time for patent protection. Shortening protection period to 2-5 years should still encourage inventions, but would discourage early carpet-bombing filings (which scare many inventors away) as well as move successful inventions into public domain while they are still relevant. My 2c.
I think it’s premature to speculate about motive, aside from the obvious part about targeting telecoms infra rather than people. For instance, this might also potentially disable security/alarm systems for a heist, or perhaps it was motivated by some 5G conspiracy theory.

Sometimes I search for image results, and my search results are polluted by SlideShare and Slide player

SidePlayer is an ad infested site which also pirate PDFs by crawling for open PDFs and automatically uploading to their website

I don't understand why Google gives priority to such websites.

I believe including pinterest and sites like SlideShare and Slide player in our search results is what google should allow us to opt in not something we should opt out
This whole line of argument is just weird.

> Why is it their responsibility? Apple has literally billions in the bank, they should be running an incentive scheme if they want more native ports.

Because they want to sell software and/ or hardware.

> This reminds me of people complaining that Docker doesn't run on Apple ARM yet. Why should it? Apple are the ones that changed the architecture.

Docker is getting migrated for the same reason it was originally ported to MacOS. Because the developers either run Macs or work for companies that support people who run Macs. It's the same reason any software is getting ported.
> A hardcoded credential vulnerability was identified in the “zyfwp” user account in some Zyxel firewalls and AP controllers. The account was designed to deliver automatic firmware updates to connected access points through FTP.

Also translated as:

In the name of "improving security" we created a backdoor, which is known throughout the entire industry as "removing all security". We are very sorry we were caught so easily.

It does not take much to understand this was a terrible idea. Or that there are so many better ways to build and deploy automatic updates. You absolutely do not need to be able to control a machine remotely to deploy automatic updates. But counting the ways they went wrong building this update system makes it extremely hard to believe that was the intent.

> After a thorough investigation, we’ve identified the vulnerable products that are within their warranty and support period and are releasing firmware patches to address the issue, as shown in the table below.

That they went to the effort of identifying their minimal viable liability and all released patches for that, makes it even more disingenuous.

This is a company whose business is supposed to be about enhancing security. They should know better.
Jewelry stores are also likely targets.
It would be strange to have a diesel generator that could power a building only for a few hours. I’ve commissioned numerous diesel generators to provide power to power plants if the transmission line is down and generally they can go at least three days. A diesel generator that could use all its fuel in 3 hours would be like a car with a 1 gallon tank.

The opaque nature of the Chinese government makes it hard for me to tell what anyone's motivations are. I'm inclined to think this is a power play by the government to deal with someone they don't like.

At the same time I also think what I've read about Ant Group makes me think that financially their ability to loan to folks with little to no collateral and offload the risk on other institutions is unwise and risky.
Ironically, the idea that "googling things" about a topic won't lead to reductive and incomplete answers might exactly be why you give such a reductive and incomplete answer here.

Here is an update from AT&T:

The front 1/3rd of the building is structuraly damaged. That includes fiber entry.

They have no power and there is major flooding on all floors including the basement.

The Fire Department is en route with pump trucks to help with the flooding.

They have Building Engineers and Electricians on the way to look into the structure and getting power turned on.

They have 2 850KW generators on the way and 2 1MW generators on standby.

They have new A/C Chillers on the way (Existing Chiller plant was destroyed).
It’s odd that if you knew why the building was valuable you wouldn’t also know it’s designed for this. Which makes me lean more towards coincidence.
Crippling debt can be measured in dollars, and that's by far the most reliable outcome of state-guaranteed loans for non-marketable majors.

At the time it was created, the default copyright term was 28 years, with an additional 28 if renewed. The owners of the rights to the movie neglected to renew it, and it fell into public domain in 1974. Anything not in public domain in 1976 had its term extended by a new copyright act, and then extended again in 1998.

If anything, this attack reminded me of the Weather Underground bombings in the 70s, which were often prefaced by evacuation warnings and targeted infrastructure rather than people. If I had to take a guess though, I'd go with a genuinely mentally ill person attempting to take out the 5G "mind control rays" or whatever, particularly given the potential presence of human remains found at the scene.

I read that story you mentioned about the energy grid plot, but it seems like bizarrely pathetic larping that was stopped before any substantive action was taken [0]. One part of the article I couldn't help but laugh at:

They demoed Docker on stage at WWDC. They've donated equipment to Docker. Apple built a significantly better virtualization framework for Big Sur/ Apple Silicon.

This transition is in baby steps right now. It takes time to migrate software.
I would also very highly recommend you watch this talk about PowerPoint’s Turing-completeness — https://youtu.be/_3loq22TxSc

It’s from the same person (Tom Wildenhain) as your video, but this is an hour long, there’s an actual audience (that’s supportive and spends most of the talk in disbelief), and the end with recursive slides / fractals is an absolute mind melt.

Strong recommend! :) Thanks for the suggestions/reminder!

I think you’ve misunderstood my reaction. I’m certain, and I have no doubt. I’m not motivated by fear, I’m motivated by experience. These kinds of dynamic features that mimic static features are harmful to code comprehension and maintenance.

Since you asked, the tooling is pretty goodish with VSCode if you use typescript, but still misleading for dependencies (getters are just treated as readonly properties, setters are indistinguishable from writeable properties).
All these automation tools for APIs miss the fundamental reason why we need an API in the first place.
I am actually curious about the details, especially the cloud storage. What kind of storage makes sense in this kind of infrastructure ? Is it just regular block volumes being mounted as ext4, or is it something more k8s-ish solution like longhorn or openEBS? I recently started learning and maintaining a k8s cluster, so I tend to really enjoy this kind of content. Will be really looking forward for the January talk.

Also, Turkey Leg and Mmm The Peas are both masterpiece.
You said earlier that "If the inconvenience of arguments troubles you, write a wrapper". That's precisely what a script like this is. A wrapper. I can run one simple, static command, similar to just about any build tool e.g. `cd project && make`.
At least w.r.t. to the synonym problem, more modern search techniques that rely on language modeling and word representations seem to solve that.
> Again I remind about the idea of exponential patents: the holder has to pay every year twice as much as last year.

Nice timing on this question - I'm actually deconstructing a website mockup (PDF) this morning and needing to find the originals of the images the graphic designer (who is off on holidays) used. It's not just the dozens of Pinterest copies, but even Medium or private blogs that are using an image and still ranking higher.

I find it disappointing that Google doesn't apply more authority to sites like Unsplash when it is clearing the original source.
Was going to say the same - can’t remember seeing spokesman.com here before.
The why is market demand. You must attack markets with a lot of competition (I.e. a lot of demand). You cannot have technical risk AND market risk.

Also, startups have different stages. The networking/fundraising, etc. Actually comes AFTER product/market fit.
It feels like most of the Founder-type people are taking a break from what they usually do at work -- which probably includes checking hacker news. So it's left room for the more interesting things to surface over the "What happened to <javascript framework>" or "How to raise your yearly gains by five dollars" or whatever.

edit: Interesting is a personal taste, and while I have noticed articles on hacker news becoming more repetitive lately, it's probably not fair to put it entirely down to "Founder-type people".

Yes indeed. I had the pleasure to work for Ascend Communications for 4 years. The bulk of our business was the Ascend Max TNT that could terminate dozens of PRI lines into hundreds of digital modems.

> How do you avoid eventual hyperinflation when you keep borrowing more and more money to increase your debt even more?

if i understand correctly, from reading bits here and there, its basically as long as you have something to offset the printing with (taxing out of circulation, ensuring the excess money is spent, taking out of circulation with bond offerings etc) then the "negative" value of the taxing/spending/bonds prevents the in-circulation (positive) cash to cause inflation.

its basically the debts vs liabilities balancing each other out on a national scale: as long as you balance the assets with some kind of liability, you are 'ok' afaiu

basically, modern monetary theory*

Also, if it can happen by accident then I don't really think it should be called "porting". You don't find that a linux-centric malware has "accidentally" "ported" itself to windows, likewise Intel bytecode doesn't suddenly execute on ARM chips.

The difference between "porting" and "modifying" has (at least in everything I've read in "hacker" culture) always been that porting is rarely a trivial act.

I doubt the ad organization and ranking teams decide where and how many sponsored listings appear in search results, which I believe is GP's point: the page design/layout and the proportions of ads vs. (more or less) organic listings. Someone decides that searches have e.g. four ads at the top and two at the bottom.
