Right - so it makes sense that Nvidia wouldn’t do that, and instead pass that risk off, diversify across multiple vendors, and return earnings to their investors as dividend and buyback? And that the supply crunch is the result of global simultaneous supply and demand shocks that couldn’t have been foreseen in the timeframes required for them to have made investments to alleviate it, and aren’t likely to be repeated?

> will actually be a more anti-social move than not.

Anti-social is the whole point. Because, precisely, society has been hijacked by consumerism.

It's nothing new, it started with the industrial revolution. Now that (almost) everyone has a fridge, a TV, a car, a washing-machine, a computer, a phone, attention is being siphoned in order to generate revenue.

> Of course this ideological view of society is long gone so there's just no sense trying to push back. Accept that today's child is a highly connected, distracted, techno-proficient being and let that be that.

I think "attention economy" should be treated as a threat and, on the contrary, mercilessly fought against (with education, and not just kids). Because it damage people's mind just like the industry damaged the environment. Don't make the same mistake twice.

Most conferences will accept almost anything even tangentially related to their focus. Because nearly all proposals will come from companies trying to market their crap in conference talks disguised as something else, when they get applications from people with something really interesting to say which is not related to something they're making money on, they will almost certainly accept. It may b e hard for the first couple of talks as you don't have any experience doing it, which means you may suck at it, but you can start by talking at local meetups or even internally at your company, which is less challenging and will get you some experience to get started.

Not the OP, but my advice is to tailor your advice / sharing of experiences to what your mentee(s) need. Always start by listening before sharing your experiences, and for each experience, distill the key learning so you can help your mentee see how they can apply it to their situation.

You can argue about prices in Sydney all you want but i moved from Sydney to the USA and the situation isn't any better. In fact it's a lot worse. House prices in California are just as crazy. The wealth discrepency is also more obvious. Shanty towns under bridges worse. Like the 10 or so tents you see in Sydney's hyde park don't compare to the 3 miles in San Francisco of tents. Obviously there's benefits if you're in tech to being in the USA as that's where the market is but other than that it's far worse. The insane taxation system in the USA is not helping here either. There's an obvious need for the USA to look to countries like Australia and adopt our methods of governance but the assumption that the USA is best is unfortunately preventing this change.
Believe it or not, there are even VHS and DVD rental places still out there, yes the kind with a wall lined with shelves of VHS cassettes and another with DVD cases.

Not just SLS. The whole notion of a "Lunar Gateway" makes even less sense. Like, absolutely none at all.

Its original purpose seems to have been a place SLS would be able to get to, and then SLS would have the purpose of getting to it, in the same weird way that the ISS was a place the Shuttle could get to, and the Shuttle was needed to resupply ISS. Until it wasn't; and now the ISS has no purpose or value. Don't need SLS to get to ISS, so make a "Gateway" that does.

Make no mistake, a "Lunar Gateway" is much worse than completely useless. If you want to go to the moon, go to the moon. If you want to go to Mars or an asteroid, go there. Stopping at lunar orbit, effectively halfway, just costs a huge amount of extra fuel to stop and then start again.

For other JS developers the stuff about await isn't relevant. It's not the same as a JS async/await

In JS an await is just syntactic sugar around a then() on a promise. The Await in the article is a method to block the thread until a promise resolves, there is no equivalent in JS.

Codecov is a misleading product. It reports % coverage for the lines tested, not of the whole codebase. Do you can have 100% coverage with directories that have code without tests. Highly recommend avoiding this company.

Use sonarcloud instead, best I've used.

As cost saving measures? Maybe partly, but I thought they were heavily marketed as virtuous too, as good for the environment. I wonder if you could make the case that the price spikes wouldn't happen if more (percentagewise) people were exposed to the current price and thus more people incentivized to conserve. Then again, maybe there is no way for enough people to shift demand in an unusual situation like this.

My intuitive thought is simply to quit, and start another academic pursuit (assuming you are really interesting in science and research); it could be rather hard, but that is life. LIFE never goes easy.
This argument is only valid from an egocentric perspective. It's like saying when you close your eyes, the world ceases to exist because you can't see it.

That indicates that csrutil would be able to do /something/ with secure boot policy, but I really don't interpret that as a commitment to being able to boot arbitrary operating systems - if we were still unable to do so today, I don't think you'd be able to put up a strong argument that Apple had broken a commitment.

With Big Sur, Apple now has paravirtualization support. It exposes Metal API to manipulate virtual display devices. See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/paravirtualizedgra...

I doubt Apple has any intention of publishing hardware documentation for someone to write a native driver, but there are behavioral reverse engineering efforts already underway.
I always found it funny that companies will go to extreme Herculean lengths to hire the best programmers, and are incredibly fearful and paranoid that they could be making a "bad hire", and yet once hired they don't spend a second making sure engineers aren't completely running the software product off the rails and killing the company internally. The author mentions trying to rewrite Etsy's backend in Scala and MongoDB. That probably cost the company X million dollars. Etsy could still be recovering from that.

The industry constantly mints senior engineers who have been bitten by complexity, but doesn't want to hire them, or listen to them. More often than not senior engineers pretend to be excited about complecting the tech stack, because hey, it pads their resume with the latest buzzwords and they've given up trying to fight against it anyway.

The last line of defense against a rogue engineering team is managers who have studied this stuff. How many engineering managers can spot the common situation "the engineers are bored and they're rewriting perfectly-good codebases in Common Lisp and OCAML for funsies"? And how many know what to do about it when they see it?

Anyway, this is a cool website, and it'll be useful to point people to it in the future, so thanks for that.

But let's face it: the Academia peer review process is pretty rotten.

- Many organisations could not care less about whatever crap you publish as long as you publish. And if possible a lot.

- Many journal's reviewers are friend of friends and you can often easily guess their names, even in double blinded review.

- Many reviewers care more about you quoting their own paper than giving any relevant feedback.

- There is plenty "pay2publish" journals that care about quantity not quality that are commonly used by academia to "force" validate crappy researches/PHds

- The publishing world is full of oversized-ego individuals that will destroy a paper just because it comes from a competing lab/department/professor and not because it is scientifically irrelevant.

And that is only a little subset of the problems...

You'd expect that, but you'd probably be surprised in a lot of cases. One of the strong reasons why good conferences mandate code nowadays.
The quality of the code, and whether it actually reproduces what you claim, isn't checked systematically though. That's down to the reviewers' enthusiasm, and whether they actually have the technical means to reproduce. That's not a given for more niche robotics or high-profile AI applications where hardware can be an issue.

To have every open source app ported to their processor, and get the usage up. I'm a developer and I love the specs of the hardware, and I need open source tools to work on it.

On a Linux machine owned by you? Easy, force the user to log in as a user with no access to the shell, file managers, etc. They'll have no way to copy the file.

On a Linux machine owned by someone else? You'll have to use the concept of DRM, and unfortunately DRM on Linux is crippled by it's open-source nature. The kernel isn't locked down the way the Windows and MacOS kernels are, so you can't rely on the OS as the root of trust.

The only thing I can plausibly interpret that as is “we’ll let you turn off secure boot” (I mean, what else can you do?). I agree that Apple never committed to anything beyond that (and I am pleasantly surprised as to how much effort and documentation went into what they have currently given) but I think it is a reasonable interpretation from the slides that getting some sort of OS loaded that isn’t Apple’s is something they had advertised.
Packaging for debian anything non trivial is damn too hard.

It took me 5 days to figure out how to package a complete web app with params, upgrades, post install transpiling, db init, etc.

And I haven't put that on a private repo yet, it's yet another annoying thing to do.

Nothing is well documented, doc is old and confusing, the tooling is archaic and wants to inflict pain (debconf anyone ?), the life cycle of a Deb package is atrocious to get right.

And you have to do all that in raw bash scripts. Not there are no alternatives, any scripting language is potentially usable, but the support is poor enough to deter you from them.

It's not I don't want to contribute to the ecosystem, but I won't invest the colossal effort and exercice in frustration to overcome the barrier to entry. My packages don't even need to go to the official repo, just let me do my things in peace.

Make a python lib that let you describe a package, hook on life cycle events to run code, with clear documented recipes et where to put what types of files, and let me run that to generate the Deb. Event web pack is easier to use for God sake.

I'm not even touching the process of packaging something to be included in debian repositories here, which is another beat entirely.

Quit the smug act, debian packagers. You don't know better.

You do know better on how to design a distro and protect the official repository. Great. I praised you for that for decades.

But you know nothing about making your users life easy. You just don't. So ask them, and fix that, or don't complain about no contrib. This is not news, we raised our voices for years.

As someone with a little experience in ML research, I feel like outside of the top 5-10 conferences, there rarely is a code repo [1]. I think an even bigger issue is that even when a repo is provided, it's often poorly documented, contains dead links, or _hard to reproduce on other machines_ without code-wrangling.

Tangentially related, even popular repos can have implementations of models that differ from the paper cited. So, who knows how far errors can propagate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
