I wouldn’t count on it. Apple is vertically integrated, but doesn’t do their own manufacturing. It’s not necessary when They can dominate the supply chain and hold a practical monopsony on the best production capacity anywhere. This is why everyone else was lagging to produce 5nm parts -- Apple simply bought 100% of TSMC’s capacity.
I see a pattern here...:-)

My opinion point is that maybe if the US tried to do old style approach to home ownership, old fashioned banking, it wouldn't need that many artifices like rating agencies. Why I think that:

Your position is that the lack of a well informed credit market would make interest rates high, precluding acquisition of houses, hence the need for rating agencies.

My position is that truthful, complete information is enough to keep rates low, a market for that information is not necessary for assets which are not liquid (houses, mortgages). Swiss mortgage rate oscillate between 1-1.5%, depending on your financials.

Absolutely everybody buys houses and buildings on credit in Switzerland, due to huge tax deductibles. Those who don't are a rounding error around 99.9%, mainly due to some rare people's estate planning triggers.

Selling cheaper houses and apartments at lower prices has been repeatedly in the last 20 years (as low as a third of the usual price range). They doesn't sell.

Swiss are conservative, they tend to like long term investments with low degradation risk, regardless of current market price levels. Hence high prices, because they want high, long lasting quality.

Again nothing to do with credit information markets.

Doesn't work. Because corporations find loopholes around the law to achieve an "equivalent" of carbon reduction, that doesn't actually reduce it, but still call themselves green.

For what it’s worth, theory of inventive problem solving is not a very good translation of теория решения изобретательских задач teorija rešenija izobretatelʹskih zadač: as far as I can see, it parses as [inventive [problem solving]] with inventive meaning something like “unconstrained by convention, prolific intellectually, embodying the spirit of invention”, for which the proper Russian is изобретательный izobretat-elʹ-n|yj; the original name has a different syntactic structure and uses изобретательский izobretat-elʹ-sk|ij “belonging to or characteristic of inventors”, so the proper translation would instead be something like theory of solving problems of invention, which is admittedly awkward (and doesn’t afford a snappy acronym) but at least successfully conveys the idea that the “invention” part pertains to the problems, not the solutions or the theory.
As someone who finds this a bit appealing and perhaps speaking for others with similar "taste", it's a mixture of this, but also the sense that the BSD userland is smaller and less bloated than the GNU userland. It's the flipside of what another commenter mentioned, GNU tools tend to be more feature filled, but at the expense of code size and complexity.

Similar to why some people want to use a musl libc userland. For some people, it's the licensing, for others it's about the design and simplicity of implementation.

Like any other department, when security is too isolated from others, it creates a culture of perverse incentives and competition rather than collaboration to a shared goal.

For example, try building a new website for a company, only to have the security team insist that you fix "defects" such as not tying sessions to IP addresses. Yeah, fuck all the people on mobile phones hopping between networks. It would make sense for accessing internal data, but not for what amounted to a marketing site for public consumption.

Like I said at the open, this can happen with any department or team- security, I think, might tend to happen a little more frequently, if only because it is logical that they do need a certain amount of autonomy to do their jobs well.
Using the word "polluted" is a strong signal that you share the same attitude.
I know this is a meme, but back in around 2012 or so, one of my grandpa's friends pulled out a Windows 2000 laptop and loaded up a spreadsheet in Excel 2000.

I was blown away by how snappy and responsive the whole experience was compared to the then-not-bad Core2 Duo Grandpa had in his machine, running Windows 7 and Office 2010.
Your FP example reminds me of the JS trend that picked up about 5 years ago. Not sure if they're still doing it, but you described the dogma near perfectly.

>>It’s your entire life consumed by other people’s rackets

I lived overseas for 10 years and can verify that things got a lot shittier around here while I was gone. And the people as a whole got a lot dumber and more gullible. Cell phones. Social media. The 24/7 gossip news cycle. Your experience of a more meaningful, directly engaged, lower-bullshit life is actually the way things are, or were until recently, in a lot of countries. America's a runaway train.

I predict they will give up this requirement. Not only do a lot of systems not have TPM and secure boot, probably half of windows 10 systems don’t have them set up correctly to meet the requirement which means a ton of people will meet the requirements on paper and then get confused as to why windows won’t upgrade.
This is not that hard. Each store can keep a local record of what is going on. Back in the "dark ages" this was done anyway, credit card transactions were settled at the end of the day. Inventory at a physical location can be tracked locally and updates sent to a central system later to figure out what needs to be restocked where.

Unlike other distributed databases you don't have one store selling an item of food from another store (especially if your online system is down) and need to do a split brain recomp.
That's not quite the same as the package being able to declare its dependencies itself.
Yes and no.

It's not as good as it once was, and purchasing power is slowly but certainly going down. Everything is tightening up. Switzerland is extremely integrated into the western money circuits. If it goes to shit in the US, it'll follow suit at a much slower pace.

However, Eurasia is replete with countries which try to imitate Western European successes by applying the same receppies. If you can swing it, the purchasing power is 3-5 times larger on the same net income, and you don't have pesky invasions of your private sphere at each corner.

Also, as a Swiss, I can tell you that past the superficial welcome, we're a mountain people. We're really not as warm as others peoples. Over time, depending on your character, it may accrues and impact quality of life.

We are also very disciplined in a lot of aspects of life, even outside work. That is a problem for some over time.

But if your character fits, you'll have a blast.
Yup, if I had to run a company, it will be macbooks and iphones with MDM, like by jamf.com. That will cover device security. Then SSO, separated networks and no Windows whatsoever.
Pandemic Teaching 101
Great punchline, after describing "Dealing, with stress":

> “There is never a break. You are always on…always at the beck and call.”

> As a result, dealers are feeling under pressure and overwhelmed. Liam, a part-time, on-and-off dealer from the south of England (the name is assumed), says the job consists of “being harassed, basically, all the time”. He has returned to college—though the pressures of connectivity have followed him there. In the past year his lecturers have adopted Zoom and other online teaching methods. “Now, my lecturers can message me whenever they want,” he says. Of the two careers, he considers that “definitely education is more stressful”.

And that, kids, is why we hire college grads, and not drug dealers...
World hunger is caused by power imbalances. That's a social/political problem. Whatever technical solution you provide helps worsening the root cause and at best keeps the status quo.

We have observed dramatic technical advances in all fields related to food production in the last 3 decades. We've seen at best marginal improvements in world hunger in the same time, and even that only if you're beeing optimistic with your statistics.

I never personally met anyone installing a non cracked version of photoshop in windows.

But if you definitely need photoshop (case: you are a real comercial designer/photographer)is best to get a Mac, you can get 5 years out of it if you tweak it a bit. I just find mac is going the wrong way just to make more money and that is the world we live in!
I like darktable but I have a hard try understanding why it (and lightroom) tries so hard to fit into the "darkroom photo studio" metaphor. For most of the people using digital cameras today, film photography was already dying or dead when they were born.
> rather than solving for success, solve for failure. If you want to design a dust filter that works at 600 Celsius within a steel mill, instead design all the ways you could develop a filter that would fail miserably in those conditions.

That's a strange example. There are infinite ways of not accomplishing a task, and as a non-expert in filter design I have no trouble listing them: make the filter out of butter, make it just a big hole, pay someone to pluck dust out of the air with tweezers... how exactly is this helping?
Back when I was working at Massive Entertainment (part of Ubisoft) we actually implemented a predictive autoscaler on top of SaltStacks REST API -- in C++ of course for The Division 2[0]

This would have been quite handy back then, it seems to operate on almost exactly the same principles.

The hardest parts were the fact that it was a 10-20 minute endevour to create a new gameserver instance, and predictions get more difficult the further into the future they are. We didn't use any fancy AI stuff, just linear regression with smoothing across the history. We preferred to overshoot, but the predictions had a tendency to spike sometimes with relatively normal trends. You don't want to start creating a machine with a 20 minute lead time and abort it. It's a wasted hour of compute time. (and an hour is the minimum windows licensing cost).

Windows licensing was 50% of our costs on GCP.

Squeak gave me the greatest pleasure I had while programming. I was not a fan of IDEs till then, preferring vi at that point, with ctags.

Sadly it is one of the places where computer science has gone backward, preferring more clunky systems and less elegant paradigms. Except when it comes to the higher reaches of the meta object hierarchy, Smalltalk itself is a great pleasure - Squeak was the icing on the cake for me.
Can't believe they didn't include a map.
I think the talent is there, but the pay is lacking. Besides, no one has ever gotten a raise for carefully avoiding even the most common of vulnerabilities because that would only delay "the product".

Premiums went up because more people started getting more healthcare.

ACA is explicitly a wealth transfer from the young to the old and from the healthy to the sick.

The young to the old because the highest premium for 64 year olds is capped at 3x the premium of 21 to 24 year olds.

The healthy to the sick because insurance companies can only charge people based on age, location, and smoking status, and cannot refuse anyone for any reason.

On top of that, healthcare cost increases slowed down after ACA. So ACA is working similar to universal taxpayer funded healthcare (which would require tax increases). It is not perfect, and it is quite likely there was a better alternative, but there were a lot of compromises that had to be made to even get ACA.

There is only one party fighting to get people healthcare, and they do not have the power on Congress anymore. And likely never will again to be able to do things with it having to heavily compromise.
For me, this is a good alternative to matplotlib when I try to visualize a plot using WSL.

Also the goal doesn't need to be "to replace programmers". As with copilot, the point of a program synthesis tool can be to assist the programmer. The point of the system in the video linked above is partly that interactively using such a system can aid development. My main point is this can be a lot better in combination with approaches from outside the ML community, which may involve much tighter integration to specific languages, as well as some awareness of a goal for the synthesized portion.

To "replace programmers", an organization would need to have a way of specifying to the system a high level program behavior, and to confirm that an output from the system satisfies that high level behavior. I think for specifications of any complexity, producing and checking them would look like programming just of a different sort.
Ok - googling the story on the original sequence seems to have changed. The original reporting https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3052966/chin... suggested a cover up but a more recent interview with the guy suggests not https://time.com/5882918/zhang-yongzhen-interview-china-coro...
>The meme of how you have to cut and paste stuff into terminal to get things working hasn't been the Linux reality for some time. Your precious time is mostly safe these days

This made me chuckle. My main desktop is linux and I also game on it. But just this week I was trying to connect a 2nd monitor in my Linux PC into the integrated graphics hdmi and its deffinitely not "plug and play", not feasible with point and click, and even the instructions floating around Linux forums didn't work for me. This PC I have dual boots to Windows (i use it very rarely) and to test I connected the 2nd monitor on Windows and it worked automatically. (I commented about this here in HN two days ago, so my history shows it).

I love working and playing in Linux. But I am honest with people who ask me about it, there are still plenty of rough edges and "paper cuts'.

I'll make photos next time. All I can tell you is that I have win10 pro with a local account and from time to time after update I get forced through some stupid wizard which I can't skip unless I ctrl-alt-del out. There is no skip button or do this later button.
I use the Alpine userland and so totally understand the reasoning of having less bloated tooling and the like. However, personally I prefer to apply this philosophy to stuff I have running in the background. If I'm using initscripts, I'd rather they be written using execline (and ideally running with s6) rather than bash, if it has to be a version of sh then I prefer dash over bash, builtins over external tools, nginx over apache, and so on.

But having used busybox utils on a daily basis I truly do not understand how people can use them daily and not go insane. The GNU utils are so much faster and more feature-filled. To me, reducing bloat makes sense for something running forever in the background. Interactive stuff ought to be as feature-filled as possible, stuff in the background as lean it can.

I realise others have different views about this, but I think I hew fairly closely to the mainstream thought about bloat.
Another day, another lightweight JavaScript framework which will inevitably become bloated it gains any traction at all.

PI Planning in SAFe explicitly calls for this. Risks to the plan are called out in front of everyone and each is discussed to see if it can be mitigated (and who will own that mitigation).

If anything happens due to one of those foreseen issues, everybody knew about it in advance and already discussed what, if anything, could have been done to prevent it as well as what action was actually taken.

I love the SAFe / PI Planning approach because it makes sure that everybody is on the same page and totally removes any blame game from deliverables. Far, far fewer surprises.

This one's interesting. It seems the typo in "weaping" guided the model to generate images of 40K weapons. I see a definite bolter on the right and probably an Eldar whatchamacallit or Chaos Marine's bolter on the left. Or a Tyrannid bioweapon?

The reason the above answer addresses your concern is that a set major bone fracture is similar to a minor fracture in many ways, so if you can already heal minor fractures then you can heal set major ones in the same way
The point is to make a filter that works in lower temperatures but breaks around 600C.

Using the other example - of course to kill the most pilots you coukd out them in a big meat grinder or just blow up their planes. But the point is to design planes so that they both fly and kill pilots.

Gaining a Better Understanding of Dilapidation Reports
Custom Search Engines
Basic single-core scalar-only workloads of my own corroborate the grandparent, as well as most of the other benchmarks I've seen. My own 5600X is "only" about 50-60% better than my old Haswell i5-4950 (from Q2 '14) on this note.

But the scalar speed isn't everything, because you're often not bounded solely by retirement in isolation (the system, in aggregate, is an open one not a closed one.) Fatter caches and extraordinarily improved storage devices with lots of parallelism (even on a single core you can fire off a ton of asynchronous I/O at the device) make a huge difference here even for single-core workloads, because you can actually keep the core fed well enough to do work. So the cumulative improvement is even better in practice.
Understanding Rot Damage
The plan is to use technology to make it so you can't own anything anymore.

The tech monopolies want their tithe. That's why you can't buy Photoshop or office anymore.

Soon you won't buy Windows, you will simply rent it forever. One day you won't own your phone or computer either. It's far more profitable to extract rent from your customers indefinitely when you're the only game in town.
