Security and privacy are another big thing. In the 90s and 200Xs I installed pretty much anything as a native app and didn't worry about it as only "bad" people made viruses/trojans and legit companies had no incentive.

That all changed with big data and marketing. Now, every native app company, and every library those native apps use, has an incentive to mine your machine for data and then use and or sell that data. And further, the vectors for exploits of various native apps have increased as well and the always connected nature of our devices has increased the incentives.

Many people complain about MacOS's new security features. Me, I love them and I don't think they go far enough. Sure I want control of my machine. I don't want to secede control to Apple. But that to me is what MacOS (not iOS) is delivering (or attempting to deliver). Stop every app from doing anything without permission. Give me way to grant that permission if I really want. I wish Windows would do the same. I wish all Steam games were sandboxed.

In other words, getting all that cool tech from the 80s to be secure and privacy respecting is a ton of work.
Is it really that clear? https://imgur.com/a/yQFQRKF

Right before hitting 'place order' there's a link to a pop-up modal with the cancellation terms.

> "Should you cancel after 14 days, you’ll be charged a lump sum amount of 50% of your remaining contract obligation and your service will continue until the end of that month’s billing period."

At no point is the total amount (aka, your contract obligation) displayed, just the monthly amount. I think it's deceptive, at best.
If that's what makes a currency a commodity, then USD is a commodity.
> These companies achieve growth and put pressure on the competition by offering their services below the real cost that would be needed to achieve profit, hence driving huge share price growth

Which I find weird, if I sell fruit at a loss to run a local competitor out of business as a major supermarket it's illegal predatory pricing (or at least was when I was growing up), yet do it to an entire industry and it's fine. Maybe this is just one of those US exception things.

Missing (or implied) by your list is that incumbents are not an all-or-nothing gamble based on other people's money, so are reluctant to engage in such tactics themselves and will suffer for it.
For the majority of the basic Photoshop stuff, Photopea actually does the job quite well.
No one is qualifying their discussion of inequality with “produced by inherited wealth.” If they did, it’d be a lot more palatable. About half the inequality discourse I see targets founders. The other half targets workers whose salaries are too high, whose children are too well prepared for college.
It's spelled "проебать" (and it's a pretty foul language).

Quite correct otherwise.
> which patched the bug in the V8 code last week

This does not appear to be true. AFAICT the first patch was merged today:

https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/2820971

(It was then rapidly cherry-picked into release branches, after which our automation picked it up.)

> I am curious about this because I want to better understand the mitigations in place by a service such as Cloudflare, as I am interested in the security ramifications of doing similar v8 work in distributed systems.

Here's a blog post with some more details about our security model and defenses-in-depth: https://blog.cloudflare.com/mitigating-spectre-and-other-sec...
My 1989 Honda has an Intel chip that powers the ECU. They have been in millions of cars, so I would say they probably have some knowledge buried somewhere in the company.
You're confusing apples and oranges here. Those implants you're referring to are at the injury site (arm stump for example), not in the brain. Completely different technology.
Yeah, the thing is, you have to be specific about what you mean when you say "on AWS".

I have a side project on AWS that I deploy with capistrano, runs on a rails deploy that I configured by hand, and requires approximately 5 minutes of "dev ops" maintenance a month from me. Most of that is upgrading packages.

Switch that over to docker and terraform and who knows what else, and I wouldn't even have time to think about the project, but for the parasitic costs of the deployment infrastructure.

I'm 100% certain that n00b devs would mock me for my old man ways, but the old ways can scale quite far before you need anything else.
Personally I can pick out ingredients and tasting notes better than most of my friends and I have almost no sense of smell. Although I think in general smell is supposed to dominate taste, blocking your nose when you eat has a strong effect on flavors or something. Doesn't affect me much.
It's an essay. He's expressing an opinion, just like anyone can always produce an alternative narrative.
Hilarious article, though perhaps overly long:

Eventually, he joined up with a pair of childhood friends to create O’Tacos, which now has two hundred and thirty locations in France. Pelonero had never been to Mexico, still hasn’t. “But I’ve watched a lot of series about tacos on Netflix,” he said, speaking from Dubai, where he currently lives.
The problem was, undergrads in top 50 CS programs were not using IBM mainframes during the 80's. They were using UNIX.

Same thing today (and a few PC here and there).

Getting access to a mainframe was and still is very expensive. That's why Google, Facebook, everyone post 2000 basically got started on commodity hardware. Because it's cheap, it's what the founders knew and it works. It's also what the top 50 alumni know, and there's no vendor lock-in.
Was that during the configured window of time when the comment is supposed to be invisible?

I.e. are we on the same topic?

I'm not concerned with the truth value of the comment or other content matter.
As I understand the problem:

Auto manufacturers need 380nm production lines.

They unwisely canceled all their orders for >6 months.

Their suppliers mothballed all these antiquated facilities.

Maybe Intel can make money with this. It will be interesting to see.
I was a huge kakoune fan for a little while. What eventually dragged me back to vim was (a) proper async LSP support and (b) I wanted the same keybindings between my terminal editor and vscode, and the vscode vim keybindings are pretty good.
A lot of hobbyist ones, e.g. But even for mainstream compilers, arm has been a second-class citizen where developers would not necessarily test on arm. E.g. I used to work on V8, and we had partners at ARM who would help support the 32- and 64-bit ports. While I often did go ahead and port my changes to arm, it wasn't always required, as they could do heavy lifting and debugging for us, sometimes. We didn't have arm hardware on our desks to test; V8 literally has its own CPU simulators built into it, just for running the generated code from its own JITs. We had good regression testing infrastructure, but there is nothing quite like having first-class, on-desk hardware to test with, preferrably to develop directly on.
Tesla also patented a wiring harness rigid enough to be robotically manipulated.
Yes, that is the typical timeline for getting silicon into cars from my experience. They make announcements like this to tell engineers, "hey we are interested in this area, please check out our dev kits." Most likely in the ADAS area is what they are targeting to compete with nvidia and others.

Intel I'm assuming did a brainstorm relatively recently and wrote down on a white board "what should we be focusing on".. and they probably wrote down:

-cloud server infrastructure

-something to compete with the Apple M series processors

-high margin businesses ( cars / self-driving and military / large super computer installs )

So basically my understanding is that they use the lead customer in each product segment they care about to help them define the cutting edge for that space. So they probably will use Microsoft/Azure for cloud customer leadership, some competitor of Tesla like VW or Mercedes for ADAS stuff, and military they probably are already doing fine there. Especially with the new Arizona fabs.
I think everyone just wants to get a piece of the future. The companies of today, if successful, will become huge conglomerates given the accelerated globalisation.
I went from bearish to bullish on INTC when they hired a product guy instead of a bean counting guy. 5 years from now we’re going to look back on Intel as an incredible opportunity.
Unfortunately, I think this is where it's headed and it doesn't look like there's a whole lot we can do. People ignored it years ago when they thought it would only be localised to liberal university circles in the US. Now those people are out in the world and there's little we can do to stop the spread of this witch hunt.
The professor in that first video is a consultant of Neuralink as well now, FYI.
Windows isn't used in academia.

So you get new grads that are re-inventing the wheel.
I'm not sure what your point is . The article says it "cheaper to do". The person you're responding to says "there's access to cheap capital".
If you watch the Wired video, note that we can't program a bowling robot to convert the 7-10 split either. So while it's definitely true that professional bowlers will seek to avoid sticking themselves with a 7-10 split, the reason they're avoiding it is that it's impossible to pick up the spare.
Huang said "We expect to see multi-trillion-parameter models by next year, and 100 trillion+ parameter models by 2023". He probably knows more about what AI applications there are than you do, and spends a large chunk of the keynote discussing many applications.
So, you're still missing the point. Or "missing" the point, not sure which. Interesting.
I'd say for the 0-day exploit to affect services like CloudFlare someone would need to run the exploit first on their V8 infrastructure instances.

This would require ahead knowledge of the vulnerability and someone either within CloudFlare or at one of it's used code dependencies to plant malicious code. Since a rolling upgrade seems to be fully automated at CloudFlare and can be done within a few hours for the complete infrastructure, I don't see CF being at high risk here.
While there are plenty of domain which only exist to serve a website, quite a few others have more than that.

With a website, if you want to push it onto a Content Delivery Network (CDN) it is easy to change www.example.com to point (via a CNAME record) to the right place.

If, however, you want to do that with the just example.com and also want to run things like mail, you can not use the CNAME record.

The why is long and boring, but that is the situation right now.
Additional dimensions don't give you additional ways to be closer to something, they give you additional ways to be further away. If we're displaced from each other by X, Y and Z units along axes in the usual 3 spatial dimensions, the closest we can be is if we're at a coincident position in each of the additional dimensions. Any displacement along those additional axes just moves us further away from each other.
Most people dismiss me when I say that people in general hate freedom. Freedom means that your opposition can say things you don't like and also it means you have more responsibility.
Community-governed vs. advertiser-dictated networks. Free markets. It's a wide topic, I'm surprised you can't find a single usecase you would use or think makes sense.

If it can help you imagine some, take the decentralized primitives: a money/value transfer network, a reputation network, a content delivery network.

Starting from those, many currently gimped online services could be replicated in a way that incentivizes behaviors which benefit users, more than the platform owner. Local economies that currently function only through local, unscalable networks of trust could be brought online.

Of course, if you believe everything is better done in a way that can be regulated by a central entity, then crypto as it stands won't do anything for you (although public ledgers do make investigations easier). Core to crypto is a belief that P2P networks are superior to centrally managed ones.
Shouldn't this be an incentive for parents everywhere to always be networking and upholding their social standing so they can pass those benefits down to their children?
This is disingenuous at best, and fraudulent at worst - and I know ACCC in Australia will take a very dim view. Take the main page for instance, the one you linked - it lists monthly prices. No mention whatsoever of "annual pricing paid monthly" - it's JUST monthly mentioned. Pic: https://imgur.com/sZPfFDI

When you click "See plans and pricing details" it gives you the Annual monthly and ACTUAL monthly prices. Pic: https://imgur.com/gxokkST

If you click Buy Now the ACTUAL monthly price is hidden from view in a drop-down. Pic: https://imgur.com/l05UZra

I don't know a claims court in the OECD that would rule in favour of Adobe here. Misrepresenting the monthly price up-front is false advertising.

This is a dark pattern, Adobe should be shamed.
Ubuntu is doing work on desktop flutter, I recall hearing that they are working on hooking up flutter to accessibility bit of ubuntu.

I do ride at least 1000 miles a year on roads with traffic speeds ranging from 0 to 50 mph. I've been doing this for over 15 years at this point and my personal experience matches up with the results of that experiment I linked to in my previous comment.

Do you cycle? Do you ride in the primary position that I described earlier by default?
People hate the responsibility that comes with the freedom.

Also, I would caution that desire for "freedom + responsibility for dealing with the the mess" vs being "told what to do and not having to deal with people who step out of line" is not distributed uniformly about the population.
This is great work, congrats on shipping a great product. I use TailwindCSS on my personal website.

I often wonder whether we need yet another UI framework implementation? I touched on this in my post a couple days ago: https://williamhoyle.ca/blog/2021/vue-has-too-many-ui-framew...

To summarize:

We have 20+ UI frameworks written in Vue. Surely there's enough common ground/code to combine the implementation details for all these common components. For example, OP mentioned the complexities of implementing a modal with some corner cases for 'ESC' behaviour. This is a universal concept whether you're using WidgetUI or TailwindUI. How many times are we going to re-implement a modal/button/dialog/menu?

We have to learn another set of APIs, props, component names, etc... Of course, no one is forcing us to use this. But it seems like we're going in circles re-implementing the same UI patterns over and over again.

I wish we could standardize on a library. Imagine just pulling in GenericUI and sprinkling in your CSS of choice (e.g. tailwindCSS, Bulma, Material, etc...).

I'm a Vue guy, but I think my argument still stands for the React ecosystem.
Plenty of people send money to televangelists.

> Put your entire application on a single server somewhere, and all of its dependencies live in the same box. Optimize the vertical before you rewrite for horizontal, because 99% of the time you will go bankrupt before you get as big as Netflix so it wont matter anyways.

Worse case, you'll get bottlenecked by the DB and move it to a different (bigger) server.
1) What is forward symbol referencing? 2) ... what type checking? You mean scalars vs arrays? 3) Mojolicious is certainly a full-fledged web framework, but there are so many just-as-good frameworks out there for other similar languages (Python/Ruby/PHP).

So where is that VC money getting spent besides salaries? What's the modern equivalent of selling shovels to the miners? AWS?
I’m sure that has something to do with it. But this guy was a lefty and he still went after the 10.
The way I read that isn’t that your forbidden from doing any of those things. Your forbidden from doing those things with a dedicated machine (i.e server). Like you are forbidden to make your personal server a node for a speed test for others.

You joke, but I think people on substack might do this eventually -- there is something to be gained from banding together, and as soon as substack has some sort of "groups" feature I'm sure we'll see some alignment/clustering.

What would be even more interesting to me is if Substack actually started offering print versions of certain mailing lists for people who move slower. Has anyone commoditized publishing infrastructure yet? Could someone create infinitely remixable and customizable magazines?

If I cancel my lease, the penalty is one month's rent. It doesn't seem unusual to charge a cancellation fee. But for a company like Adobe, they don't have to find a new tenant to take your spot, as a landlord would. So the claim of the cancellation seems less legitimate.
Nvidia Serves Up Its First Arm Datacenter CPU, ‘Grace’
I don't own any stocks directly, I prefer index funds. But I've owned Apple hardware since 1984, so perhaps I've invested in Apple through side channels.

I'm sure Apple shareholders are happy with Cook's leadership. AAPL has done very very well in the last 20 years. But is that due to Cook, or is that inherent in being CEO of a company that
created the iPhone? Would Scott Forstall have been as effective in driving the stock price higher had Tim stayed as COO?

Imagine Apple today without the iPhone. It would still be a 2nd tier personal computer manufacturer with a recognizable design aesthetic. But everything that makes Apple the trillion dollar gorilla stems from the iPhone. Not only the outsized profits from selling 200m units a year, but without the iPhone, there's no iPad. No watch (same cpu designs). And no M1 Macs to boost sales to 2x the previous year. All stemming from a bet Apple made in 2004.

>peer review process was never intended as a sufficiently strong filter to ensure that bad science was never published in the first place.

peer review is basically an artifact of and a business process solely for the purpose of commercial science publishing, ie. it is a commercial product quality control. Peer review pretty much killed scientific debate as it amplifies the dogma and makes questioning of it nearly impossible. Even during Dark Ages people were challenging dogma more deeply and freely (even though doing so carried the risk of being burnt at stake) than the scientists risk doing today. Back then there were public debates, and today we have anonymous peer review instead - how is that for the progress...

Like puppies they need something to work their teeth on :) Finding flaws/errors/etc. is a good training, and it makes the students a real, though minor, participants and partners in doing of the actual current science, and being such a lowly grunts they get to focus on finding real issues/errors, fact checking/etc. instead of higher level opining.
