Wikipedia has plenty of citations to classical Rome.

Colosseum gate 44: XLIIII (not, for whatever reason, XLIV, or XXXXIIII)

18th legion: XIIX

22nd legion: IIXX

There was evidently not a strict standard.

(Note also that the symbols we use for high values, D and M, weren't really what the Romans used. You can see Roman abaci with columns labeled with place values: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RomanAbacusRecon.jpg https://thatsmaths.com/2019/07/04/what-did-the-romans-ever-d...

Those look the same; I don't know whether the one is a replica of the other or whether the form was just that standardized. But the columns are plainly labeled as, in ascending order, ϴ, I, X, C, ∞, ((|)), (((|))), and |X|.

I speculate that ∞ is a fancy way of writing (|); I believe our M descends from Roman (|) and our D from Roman |). )

Yes, but given the choice of there being a volleyball net between you and a BB gun shooter and there just being air, which do you choose?

That would have been a good reason to suggest wearing masks and also goggles. Personally I was wearing goggles in the beginning for that reason and still make sure to wear glasses since there is some evidence that they can help too. One wrong is still better than two wrongs.
> Being realistic, it is extremely unlikely that I will ever find someone to have kids with who I could remotely respect

This right here is your problem.

All of that stuff you listed before does not matter at all compared to this implication that you don't remotely respect women who don't meet your exact list of requirements. That's a huge attitude problem and a major red flag. Women who meet your laundry list of requirements are going to notice and avoid you.

Also it's very much worth nothing that Silicon Valley no longer has the monopoly on talent that it once had. In fact in some of the more important development areas now, it's shifted to places like Boston or elsewhere.

"He hoped that Logo, an educational dialect of LISP, would supplant BASIC in education, but it did not"

That's interesting to me, because when I was in grade school, they were pushing Logo, and I didn't like it at all. It wasn't presented as doing much more than ordering a turtle around though.
QR codes are Japanese not Chinese.

Contactless payment systems are everywhere now, the big push being COVID.

Taiwan isn't China, any Taiwanese will tell you that. Taiwan did a lot of things right when it came to the COVID response, but it's easy to do when you have a population of 23 million on a tiny island. I have several friends who are living in Taiwan and I've been jealous of them throughout the pandemic because their government handled it correctly. However, the US vaccination response is the best in the world. Even I have been vaccinated.

Silicon Valley isn't dying. It's literally the biggest creator of wealth in the world, and it's so much that it's causing a horrible amount of income inequality, especially in the Bay Area itself. It's almost being a victim of its own success, as I already mentioned.
It's definitely used as a signal in finance. There is a prestige of working at certain shops that carry over in your career. Similar to how it doesn't matter what you studied at Harvard, just that you studied at Harvard. I'm not saying it's right, just that it exists lol.

Business schools also acknowledge this when deciding who to accept/reject.
Overall this is a really good piece. O'Reilly is wrong that the world was unprepared. South east Asia was prepared and handled it Amazingly. It's not just communist governments that did well, New Zealand and Australia did well too.

However, the western world was unprepared and despite being rich, failed it's people... Especially the USA and UK.

O'Reilly is right that we need to switch gears and solve climate change instead of more social media ad tech development. And he may be right the skills needed are elsewhere.
> Silicon Valley will never die.

Over what time period? It’s absurd to say this and mean forever, if you have ever opened a history book. Even America itself will pass out of dominance, as all superpowers have. Rome, Britain, etc. Change is the rule, not the exception. It is the natural way.

> my personal rule of thumb is that my software must be useable at -O0 with address sanitizers on my desktop

The trouble with this criterion is that it fundamentally alters the language from the ground-up: it forces you to optimize the source code structure for this too, not just run-time performance. Specifically, one of the core strengths of C++ is that no matter how many (practical) levels of wrapping and forwarding you do, as long as they're simple, they can generally all get flattened and go away with optimizations like inlining. But if you don't enable optimizations, now every indirection in your source code will cost you—even absolutely trivial things, like std::move() or std::forward(), that should be 100% free. This obviously hampers your ability to design good C++ abstractions, and, basically, turns C++ into a different language (like Javascript or Python). It seems rather suboptimal. (Do you not encounter these issues in your particular application?)

What I would probably prefer in your situation is to change the criteria somewhat, by doing things like keeping ASAN, enabling some debug-mode facilities (like ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL=1 for MSVC), but also enabling some optimizations for inlining and such so that you don't fundamentally alter the language like this. And/or you can just slow down your CPU when testing (in Windows you can just set the max CPU speed in Advanced Power Options).
> Nokia (the sleeping giant will awaken again :))

There is a nice little scene of companies in Espoo filled with some incredibily talented technologists who all got their start at Nokia.

Even if Nokia itself doesn't return, I expect at least one or two major technology developments out of there. I have my eye on ICEYE and have even thought of maybe working there.
Part of the functionality with these new phones is improved charging capabilities. You can only get this if you get a new charger plus a USB-C to Lightning cable.

The population of people who have both of those is pretty negligible.
Radio - Get an RTL-SDR dongle kit, and install GNU radio. Being able to get signals from the real world, and manipulate them via a flowgraph lets you do far more hands on than years of labs used to.

I've implemented all the standard things, AM, FM, SSB radios, etc.. I had a lot of fun figuring out how to decode and display the local VOR beacon near my house.

You can also play with audio frequencies, and your microphone and speakers... it's fairly easy to get an intuitive idea of what a negative frequency really means if you have an IQ channel.

Noticeably absent from the curriculum is anything to do with gate-level electronic design, which makes up a vast percentage of the bulk of 2021 electronics.

I sometimes wonder how much of the practical and theoretical know-home related to designing modern cutting-edge silicon is actually buried in the brains of private sector workers and how much of it makes it back to academia.

For low queue-depths benchmarks gains are not marginal. It's 10x faster. And write durability gains are not marginal either, it's 30x more (compared to Samsung 980 Pro). An issue is that even SATA SSD is fast enough for most users and write durability of even modern QLC disks is good enough.

Shadow it sounds too good to be true. It hardly seems deserving of such a very derogatory title like "IT".
> Silicon Valley has the critical mass of talent, VC money and greed that can't be replicated anywhere else in the world.

Tel Aviv has it. Beijing has it. SV’s big advantage over them is the internal market and Beijing will acquire that soon enough.

> There's a reason why we have never seen a world leading tech company come out from anywhere except the US.

True enough in software but see SAP. DeepMind was British, no? Give it time. Germany was the epicenter of the chemical industry before and to a large extent after WW1. It's still a big deal but Detroit is still a big deal in the automotive industry too.

> Despite having much higher educational standards even in 3rd world countries, the best the world could do is China which just stole US ideas and then built a firewall to keep others out.

There is no credible interpretation of this. In CS the US’ dominance in research is so great I’m not even sure what the best non-US university even is, perhaps ETH Zürich?
SV will exist for as long as the US is in the position it is in the world. Money will flow while USD is the worlds reserve currency.

The US is however rotting from within. The political disfunction will eventually destroy everything.

If Apple actually cared about the environment they would make a charging cable that wasn't so flimsy and would completely ditch Lightning so people could use more devices with the same cable. But both of those options would cut down on their profits, so instead we get this pseudo-environmentalism that could very well increase the overall environmental impact of these devices.
If you're in grad school taking qualifying exams, memorizing theorems is required. There's just too much stuff to digest. Undergrads and younger students have ample time to learn mathematics with serious depth. This is not true for the average math grad student. The comfort you had in learning mathematics as a youngling just instantly disappears when you get to grad school. This is painful, but you have to learn to accept that you won't be competent at all the mathematics you are exposed to. Some very fine mathematicians experience this.
True. Hence the wrong focus in the article.

It’s like if Bill Gates leaves Seattle. Nothing happens because Gates is done in his career.
That is one view at it. The other one is, that hr is a strategic partner to ceo in terms of organizational behaviour and its fit to the strategy. The former appears dominant in US, the latter in EU.
Oracle is, unfortunately, extremely relevant, just in none of the places you care about. Your biases keep you from seeing it.

In fact I was just recently involved in some conversations that could see the spend of tens of millions on their Cloud platform and where they are seriously looking like the strongest contender on both the technical and the business side.

Second tier cloud providers should be extremely worried about Oracle eating their lunch. Eventually the big three might have to too...
... that's because it's not a career risk when you're a multi millionaire who will just be rehired by your friends if your venture fails.
Not to mention that a lot of talent are moving to Austin, Miami, or literally anywhere thanks to the teleconferencing technology that Silicon Valley invented.

Which raises the question if Silicon Valley isn’t geographical but is rather a catch-all for the cutting edge and dumb money aspects of the U.S. tech industry. Is the Amazon/Microsoft/Valve tech scene in Seattle any less Silicon Valley than SV itself? Is Austin, which had techbros since the 90s with the likes of Trilogy [0], and an ongoing rush of new blood flowing out of the Bay Area, any less SV? Will VCs moving to Miami turn it into the funding operations center of SV?

You need to write full amount of disk size to get the "real" write speed and to eliminate any kind of caching. Though it's not clear whether that would be a useful metric, most users are not going to fill their disks every day.
If someone wanted to do something malicious with such an exploit they'd probably go after USD first by breaking into bank security, not Bitcoin.

That said, it would be such a feat of mathematics (if even possible) that it's highly unlikely a bad actor would be the first one to discover it.
Those new cherry switches would be useful for this project: https://github.com/saoto28/pineapple60

On an ANSI keyboard, a single function key could toggle the numpad's 1-9 keys into F1-F9 keys, and have the additional 3 on top be F10-F12. That might give you an experience similar to the Omnikey's side F keys, as long as you're OK with having them on the right side. Might work better if the arrow keys and nav keys above it were removed so that the Numpad would be quicker to reach, since the Num Lock key makes them redundant anyway.
I’m one of them. Left San Francisco due to the shitty weather, high crime, high rent, not much to do there, everybody is absorbed by their work, etc.

I would spend more time understanding your motivation for brain computer interfaces. It seems more like a research project with some applications to neurodegenerative diseases, but to actually get anything done you'll need to master several fundamental texts which takes most people years.

Spending just a week or two talking to all the experts could save a lot of wasted effort.

This overlooks the cybercrime crisis, which in 2020 did ~4x more financial damage than weather & climate disasters. And it's expected to get much worse this year.

"imagine stepping foot inside a store and having 20 robotic shelves come racing to you, begging you to buy a given item lest they find themselves in the scrap heap when they don’t hit a monthly sales target."

This would be a great scene in a movie set in the not too distant future. A robotic scrum, maybe they're all playing jingles, an older robot may bump into the protagonist...

I'm reality, I expect there are diminishing returns on this kind of thing and it will be managed by the store owner so you seldom have more than one robotic shelf following you around. A variant on it might be picking the shelf you want to come to you or shelves coming up to you based on your shopping profile. Maybe the convenience store of the future could be a hybrid restaurant or cafe. I sit down with a drink or snack and shelves come by my table so I can simultaneously do my shopping.

Any individual or group of people that task themselves with making a browser deserve some sort of accolade. What I appreciate here is the minimalist approach and similarities to qutebrowser, uzbl, dwb and probably others.

No uBlock Origin is not a deal breaker for me. Even with ubo on and JavaScript blocked the web is bloated as hell. I feel bad for all the folks who work on these projects because they need to deal with the same comments over and over again. That doesn't help the project.

And yet for many years it was the default that the new website behind the hyperlink would build a profile about you and sell this to its hundreds of 'partners'. You don't mean to establish a relationship with them, but they sure want one with you, and they want to know all about you.

If you were to quickly visit a shop and an employee would follow you around with a camera, make notes, and measure your height and your shoe size while you were waiting in line to pay, would you think that was okay and a normal experience? At least with the GDPR the stalkers have to ask your consent first, although ideally they wouldn't exist at all.

I've found that as much as the technical folks have spread out to Seattle & Austin (and now elsewhere as those are getting too expensive), nearly all of the business folks stick to the Valley. Both the brilliant and the parasites.

As the capital cycle has shifted away from VC towards companies consolidating and needing to make real returns, it's going to be interesting to see if SV can stay what it is until things turn around again.

During the dotcom correction, it was still possible for some people to stick around and eek out a living. Today that's not possible without technologist wages.

Business folks are mostly trend followers now and "leaving California" is a trendy thing to do.
I glanced over the paper and it appears that the generative model used for cifar-5m wasn't even trained with a proper train/test split. It was simply trained until the FID on the training set stopped decreasing. That's a pretty good way to overfit a model -- especially on a dataset as small as cifar-10 -- so it's hard to trust that cifar-5m is a decent proxy for the underlying cifar-10 data distribution.
I’m fascinated by this teaser.

Can you elaborate?

Was it the food, the politics, the work culture? Other?
There's a lot more to Silicon Valley than San Francisco. It's just as expensive with a lot of people absorbed in their work, but does away with the bad weather and crime.

I've never understood why so many tech companies over the last decade went up to SF. Before that most were down the peninsula and in San Jose. I'd pick the lower peninsula over SF no question.

Maybe the Brazilian government should look into helping its citizens by reducing tariffs, protectionist policies, and other regulations that make it one of the worst and costly places to do business and be a consumer. Rather than trumpeting a symbol of a $10 charging cable on a phone that's out of reach for 99.99% of Brazilians, using regulations that sound rather dubiously defined and enforced, I have to say.
