My view is accidents will always happen.

With nuclear, the potential for harm _when_ these accidents occur, is too great.
Not to mention being on video calls with classmates / actual classes and also having a few other windows running (lets say Slack / Discord), and maybe driving a decent-resolution monitor.. these relatively basic sounding things can push the CPU/gfx memory/RAM of even higher-end hardware to their limits! Especially if you choose to / need to run all these together and multi-task. That might partially be an indictment of software performance, though.
Intel has a bad track record with acquisitions dating back to at least StrongARM, this will simply be 2B lost while another company will fill the RISC-V vacuum.
What makes you assume there is a lost productivity? I couldn't find any reference from the post.
Besides, it is also stated that it serves as mobile option as the main computer is a desktop.

I am also amused that you feel that $5k build is more productive. Productivity is not mostly a function of the system but the user

Hyperion trilogy is extremely good.

Neuromancer is a must read, a true masterpiece.

Tales of Pilot Pirx is another type of sci-fi, also very enjoyable.
There isn't a good reason to throw around the term loosely when talking about a specific field where the terms are quite well defined, like the one I gave.

Folks should use the right terms if they genuinely want to communicate ideas.
Perhaps tangential, but the 2015 world champion of public speaking Mohammed Qahtani actually has a really severe stutter. I got the chance to work with him, and he stuttered since he was a child, and still does, severely, during normal chat and workshops and so on, but as soon as he's on stage and he's "on" it disappears.
Does the vast majority of scientists believe the earth is flat?
Huh interesting. I actually thought reamde was the most gripping after I got through the first 2 or 3 chapters which were indeed a bit slow. I wasn't able to finish cryptonomicon, that one was the most boring for me
Random story about my experience going to Planet Hollywood as a kid!

When I was a pre-teen, I used to always ask restaurants/fast food places etc if the soda came with free refills. I didn’t even drink a ton of soda growing up, but it was something I always asked and associated with better experiences while dining out when I was younger. If a restaurant had free refills, it was alright in my book.

The first and only time (I think?) I ate at a Planet Hollywood I asked the server if there were free refills and instead of yes/no, they said, “you get nine refills at no charge.”

I distinctly remember his business-like tone when he said it, so I believed this was part of Planet Hollywood’s model: up to nine free refills of soda.

I don’t know why I’m sharing this other than that it’s late and it’s such a weird thing to remember so vividly from childhood.

the market for software developers is very good right now but this won't last forever

It will last as long as the software industry keeps growing, or until AI can do the job of a dev. I don't see either happening for a long time.
This is cool, but at the same time the discussed applications are so boring. The most obvious and exciting application (to me, anyway) would be to use the extra limbs as wings. i.e. an exoskeleton wingsuit.
Heavy user of ETH, SOL, Polygon (MATIC).

I don’t think it’s as simple as ‘eth or solana.’ I suspect that multiple chains will be useful for different applications.

For example, games which want super low latency will want a solution like solana. Even polygon slows down today and their usage numbers aren’t huge.

Solana has the fastest and cheapest transactions. That makes it my choice when it comes to defi apps.

I’m holding all 3 but I do think Solana has a great community and strong developer support.
> So they are breaking down the blockchain into small Validator groups. You have to know which Cluster you want to contact. That's... a compromise. It's not even comparable with ETH or the internet where you have this massive pool of validators that all participate over the same network.

No, the thing you quoted just says that devnet validators ignore transactions intended for mainnet and testnet.

> Ok, so, if I have a cluster where I know all the Validators, I can collude with them to just ignore any new Validators from coming in?

Yes, but "a cluster" is "the whole blockchain." This is analogous to saying that you know every Bitcoin miner or every Ethereum node.

> If I'm the leader, can I censor a transaction coming from a Validator? Or perhaps I see a transaction that will move the market, can I sneak in a transaction in my own benefit before broadcasting that one to my validators?

If you are a leader, you can censor transactions, and there will be another leader 2 seconds later. This is similar to the situation in literally every blockchain. In Ethereum today, miners are inserting transactions to extract value from traders. You can read about this here: http://mev.wiki/
It is a IoT thingy with wireless connection which puts it in category where certain factors combine.

* Cost effective solution for lightbulb would be not having it wireless connection at all instead of having less powerful MCU. So it being IoT already means that target audience doesn't care about the price that much.
* It uses of the shelf FCC certfied wireless module with embedded antenna. For product designer it makes sense using a ready module because it avoids need to do RF design and the certification.It also simplifies the design if you run your user application inside the wireless module instead of having an additional MCU communicating with wireless module.
Such modules tend to have medium to high end MCUs.

Why do wireless modules need such processing power?

* 2.4 Ghz Antenna has certain size requirements so the size constraints for rest of the system aren't too tight.
* Wireless circuitry puts the module in certain price category, it makes sense to have the MCU in similar price category. Wireless certification is a pain, so there will be less product variants for wireless modules compared to something like 8bit micro controller which come in wide variety of memory, size and IO configurations. If you have single product variant better have slightly more powerful MCU part making it suitable for wider range of applications.
* The wireless communication part itself has certain amount of memory and computing requirements. Might as well split the resource budget on the same order of magnitude for wireless part and user application. N kB of memory for wireless and N kB for user application instead of N and 0.001N especially if the first part can easily vary by 10% or more due to bugfixes and compiler changes. Similarly there are basic speed requirements for digital logic buffering the bits from the analog RF part and doing the checksums.
* Modern silicon manufacturing technologies allow easily running at few tens of MHz so if the SOC has memory in the range of 30-500KB and isn't targeting ultra low power category it is probably capable of running at that speed.

No, a smart contract cannot seize assets from another wallet. A key feature of distributed ledgers is that only the person who has the private key to a wallet can move assets from that wallet. If you don't understand this there's no point continuing this conversation.
On the other hand it’s not as if bird songs are encoded binary information. They’re complex to our ears, but probably hold up pretty well under common audio compression algorithms.

Planting trees (particularly the wrong ones) might not help much, but cutting down trees seems to reliably do harm.
Do you think it's (near-)impossible for computers to at least equal an awake human driver without that? If SDCs can "simply" achieve near-human capabilities, then they've already exceeded human safety simply by virtue of not being subject to the same distractions and impairments as humans.

Mind you, this is a hypothetical argument. If any of the major players thought they could make a strong statistical safety case, they'd already be publishing press releases and scaling.
I assume that's because Blender uses OpenCL?

I think a lot of progress is being made on that front.
It's burst processing. You do actually need high processing speeds for short periods of time to implement network protocols like these effectively. Think cryptography, reliability, etc. The CPU isn't doing anything most of the time, but it makes a big difference if it can get the job done in 500μs instead of 5ms when there is something to do (like process a packet).

Also, higher clock speed = lower power consumption. It sounds counterintuitive, but getting the job done quickly so you can go back to low power mode sooner actually saves power, even if the instantaneous power draw while processing is higher.
Is it though? The risk for continuing using coal, oil and gas is a lot higher through global warming, and no accident is necessary, it's a certainty.

Renewables are of course the holy grail, but storage solutions for renewables are a problem, as are supply. Renewables won't supply 100% of energy for the foreseeable future.

No one is unaware that the risk exists for nuclear, its a comparison of risks though.

I think one of the problems with nuclear is the accidents are localised and make headlines, the deaths from fossil fuels are spread out and harder to attribute.
When I worked at the Department of Defence I got Quake III running on a monster SGI supercomputer that was somewhere around the $5mil mark.
This is the truth. Measuring work in hours only makes sense for work that you can only do when 100% applying yourself to the task (like brick laying or stacking shelves). Most of my high value output happens when I'm in the shower, riding my bike or going for a walk.
Yes it is, if only a few are even permitted to buy the hardware it is quite different than when anyone can buy the hardware. Sure you need money but that same goes for a public sale where anyone with money can buy in.

> most companies are younger and dumber than they were when I entered the professional world about 20 years ago

Channeling a post from earlier today — I’m not sure if companies are younger and dumber today, but I’m sure that you are older and wiser now than you were then. And I’m sure you are better at seeing the idiocy in companies. Bad projects have always been around. But it isn’t until you have more experience that you can fully appreciate a bad project — particularly when you’re in the middle of it!
excellent article. Looking for more such articles.
I loved Permutation City. Have you read anything of the Orthogonal series by Egan? The Clockwork Rocket bent my mind and feels like harder sci-fi still.
I am surprised they don't cite Bokeh
It’s started to change unfortunately, for example audio doesn’t really work on skylake or kabylake chromebooks yet. They are moving to more custom hardware.
I didn't know -- or perhaps remember -- that you had to match the feed against the speed, sort of like the way you had to be very careful about burning CD-Rs in the old days, but that makes perfect sense.

I have been fearfully realizing that I will soon need tape backup for my next project and this is helpful. Now I am wondering if a RAID 0 of multiple HDDs could provide the ~300 MB/s speed needed.
Well, they just removed in entirely...

> Deprecation

As part of the new architecture, we are removing some functionality. Most notably:

OpenCL rendering kernels. The combination of the limited Cycles split kernel implementation, driver bugs, and stalled OpenCL standard has made maintenance too difficult. We can only make the kinds of bigger changes we are working on now by starting from a clean slate.
My developer career has been great focusing mostly on software products that consumers care to pay for.

In fact, if I learned something from free beer libraries is that it was a mistake to fall down that rabbit hole.
I’ve read that open hardware is not as important as some claim — I did buy a pinephone and occasionally play with it (and I am very grateful to the small but enthusiastic community around it), but it having stale firmware which never gets updated doesn’t sound good.

Also, hardware kill switches are useless — if you can’t trust the software to not listen to you than all is lost. Also, sound can be recorded through the motion sensors as well.
And my all around point: Linux’s user space’s security is a joke. If it ever wants to grow out of the niche of 5 tech enthusiast, something should be done.
In India, there are vast numbers of palm leaf manuscripts rotting in temple vaults. There is so little support for scholarship. It's really sad what we are probably losing every day.

What we “need” is hard to say, but what we will get is what will sell more cars. Maybe those two align, but there might not beer a strong connection between them.

For example ambient lighting inside the car is largely a gimmick, but a fun one. Clearly not something benefiting society, but it seems to sell cars.
How big is the Desktop Linux market again?
In addition to this I'll be talking to people in real life. But I wanted to gauge if this problem clicked with anyone. It sounds like that would be a "no" for you.
You're making a false dichotomy.

It's obviously not a question of either coal or nuclear.

Renewables will provide a better solution. Solving the problems you've identified, would lead to far better line of attack.
Why would one bother what effects psychoacoustic models might or might not have on your data when you could simply circumvent the problem completely?
That seemed like an awful lot of words to describe the entirely predictable fact that the job market will pick up significantly as we shed pandemic restrictions and that workers in low-wage service jobs tend to quit a lot. A few anecdotes about people liking WFH doesn’t make the trend any more mysterious or novel.
Chips that can run Doom are nowhere near the dirt cheap bottom tier. The dirt cheap bottom tier is this $.03 chip:

https://hackaday.com/2019/04/26/making-a-three-cent-microcon...

Chips that can run Doom, though, are just about at the low end for internet-connected devices. You can't run an IoT stack on that $.03 thing. The chip in the bulb is exactly in the right ballpark for the application. You do need a fairly beefy chip to run multiple network protocols efficiently.
This is such great work! All praise to Alyssa R. (and to whoever else she credits).
Climate change leads to habitat destruction, which results in migration of animals. Animals coming into closer contact with each other and with humans with increased frequency. The novel encounters of species brought on due to habitat destruction leads to more opportunities for viruses to jump from species to species, or two viruses of the same family recombining their genetics and creating a new virus. Habitat destruction brings humans into closer contact with animals they weren't in contact with before, and this leads to more opportunities for zoonotic transmission.

Also who knows what kinds of viruses are lurking frozen in the melting permafrost.
If it’s a good idea, someone else must be doing it already
As a 59yo I have come to appreciate how my future post work (fulltime) life may look, and what limits I'd need to place on EITHER WFH or Back-To-Office life.

So thank you plague, for showing me what my future holds.
>until the absolutely foolish decision by these companies to start targeting that one side for censorship.

Tech companies did not start "targeting" one side for censorship, multiple internal reports have come out showing they actually have to be artificially lenient to right-wing views to avoid be perceived as being biased [1]. Right wing politics just has either a higher incidence of socially unacceptable speech, or a persecution complex - or more than likely, both.

Generally when I think about a shared library, i think about a interface that manipulates state in memory to return some result. I think i'd be quite surprised if it had some built-in persistence, if it launched its own background processes, and had a web interface included. I would expect libraries to almost intentionally not cross these types of boundaries.

I’ve never heard about this Sec-GPC header, so I looked it up: https://globalprivacycontrol.github.io/gpc-spec/

My impressions:

- Basically DNT, except it instead “conveys a user's request to websites and services to not sell or share their personal information with third parties”.

- The only differences from DNT that I can tell:

1. Added DOM API: Navigator.globalPrivacyControl. Okay…

2. A server MAY indicate it supports GPC with /.well-known/gpc.json. Seems useless considering the next point about legal obligations.

3. “This standard is intended to work with existing and upcoming legal frameworks that render such requests enforceable.” But here’s thing, if you can legally enforce websites not selling personal info when a header that any client can set is present, why not just legally enforce websites not selling personal info, period, header or not?

This is so baffling.
sounds like a bug, is there a reason to think it’s intentional?

Yes it's harder for most people to form bonds online.

I have worked with people whom only have friends, and social time, through an office setting. I've worked with people who can't wait to get away from their family by going to work. My dad couldn't wait until monday.

I was that guy that socialized, and made friends through work. I'm still that guy kinda? The hour grooming, and the two hour commute is making me think I should reach out to people whom I come in contact locally.

That said, some people don't need the social experience going to an office provides.

They have full lives, and don't need to show up to the charade. If they are good employees, why force them back?

Smart employers will let them work from home.
This is an issue with no comments or response from DDG, and frankly not much of an explanation. Calling it "tricking" and insinuating that it's malicious seems totally unfair at this point.
As an engineering manager I’ve found that the most innovative and impactful work is usually done when the pressure of being on the critical path for delivery is absent. One way to achieve this is to do the work under the radar and only expose it more widely once it’s at a point where the benefit is easier for general management to see.

Work on the critical path is visible and that, with the fear of the personal impact of failure can drive risk aversion behaviours in those engineers involved.
> More expensive cars and roads are not a great move right now. When we need is more efficient and less expensive cars and better driver training programs.

You’re making a good faith argument.

Would increasing minimums for car insurance make us more or less safe? I believe it would make us more safe, intuitively, and the effect would be reinforced by taking people off the road who can’t really afford to drive.
Okay. You misquoted me but that’s alright. If you’ll address the actual point:
