> and uploads were just not being used enough for ISPs to justify paying for the upload capacity that was going unused

I think it was pretty clear at the time that the "nobody uses it rhetoric" was to get around the lack of upload capacity on the HFC network (High Frequency Cable, otherwise known as cable TV coax for the international readers).

The smoking gun is that you can get 250/50, but can't get 100/100 for any amount of money.

Coming back to the article, Australia is a perfect warning of why broadband requirements should mandate 100/100, and therefore force new builds to build fibre. If congress allows 100/20, then the USA can join Australia in re-spending billions redoing infrastructure over and over again, instead of just getting it right the first time.
Maybe at systemic level it’s hard to train employees to identify, but I’d like to believe I have a decent intuition of assessing character ( this goes back to the problem of personal biases tho )

Obviously there are cultural differences, where an article that was trending on HackerNews was how Russians don’t smile as much.
It’s not satire at all when you’re scamming people out of their money.
>Copilot acts like a search engine

No, it doesn't. If my understanding of it is correct, it's an autoencoder, then a few more bits of AI. The MINST dataset is a collection of hand written digits used in many early machine learning classes. Usually they are used to train a classifier, which returns the correct digit given an image. They can also be used to train an autoencoder, which will take an image in, compress it down to far fewer channels, and put out an image that quite closely matches the original.

Once you have an autoencoder, it is easer to input data, and train a neural network to do something with the compressed output. There is no way the autoencoder knows which samples were used to generate the resulting output, it's just optimized at compression.

Thus, Copilot isn't search. You could take the entire corpus it was trained on, and log all the compressed outputs. You could then take a given output before the autoencoder expands it back out, tell which few source code fragments were closest, but there are no guarantees.

TLDR; A far closer analogy: Copilot acts like a Comedian who has stolen a lot of jokes, and can't even remember where they came from.
And/or harder to hire bad cops. Training to become a policeman should take several years and selection and scrutiny should be a very strict. Unless 90% of applicants are rejected, I’d worry about the wrong people being accepted.

You have to have limits and minimum standards if you want well functioning markets.
This is right. This is not a reliable approach since merely calling a function does not mean I tested all of its edge cases. And if my code depends on a 3rd party lib, I might not even have access to this lib's source.

OTOH, aiming for 100% reliability and coverage is waay too expensive for most business app. This is not like embedded software for a plane, where lives are at risk. I usually aim for a 80-90% coverage of my own code, plus a regression test for each bug actually reported.

And by the way, if you really want zero error (planes, trains, cars etc), TDD is not enough anyway.
It is actually not quite correct in German either, it should be Herr Professor Doktor not Doktor Professor.
Good coverage of dynamic linking, but for this part:

> To solve these problems, I suggest bundling all development (linking) library files together into a different directory structure per version.

Isn't it almost exactly what's called "framework" on macOS (author's proposed structure is different, but the idea looks the same)?
It was the early 1980s, and someone had recently hacked the school's VAX system. It was a reasonable guess.
Unfortunately the purpose of school is for parents to have somewhere to store their children when they’re at work, so you can’t have a four-day school week until a four-day workweek is norm.
Upload speeds for fiber in Germany are between 5% and 50% of download speeds, most of them 20%. It's strange because for DSL there was a technical reason to do this. Before DSL internet connections were always symmetric. Now it seems that people got used to it and providers probably think they make more money that way? Because the power users who would like fast upload have to buy even faster download speeds.
The "technical" term for what you describe is blundering. The winner amongst two humans playing each other is mostly defined by who blunders first. Some of these are sometimes so obvious that we have a take-back rule amongst friends for obvious giveaways. Mind you, its not "can I take this move back", its "you want to make another move, this one is too stupid"

It's an example to dispute the false claim that 10 years is little time for a technology to mature. If 10 years are enough for hardware let alone software.

Another example are social media, from 2004 to 2014, they were widely used by almost everybody that has an internet connection (Facebook had more than 1 billions active users back then)

As far as I know, reddit uses postgresql with heavy partitioning.

I personally would stay far from MongoDB because of personal preferences and try something else, like Citus Hyperscale for Postgresql.

Then, I would make a prototype using hasura.io and something like next.js

My backup plan would be to go with Ruby On Rails because it's actually still very good.
The best internet service I ever had was symmetric gigabit fiber, terminated in my home in San Jose. Not only was it fast, the latency was 2ms. It wasn't cheap, about $120 / month. So it's definitely possible.

The worst, not counting dial-up, was my ADSL service in Oakland. They said the wires were never upgraded. I finally switched to Comcast.
I can confirm this.

I started my CS program in 1999 and was supposed to do a Co-op placement (university-facilitated internship) after 2nd year, and after 3rd.

In 2001, I had dozens of interviews and could easily choose whatever placement I wanted.

In 2003 I couldn't get a job, and had to wait until the next cycle 4 months later.

I can plant tobacco and make "unregulated cigarretes" with the goal of not being regulated by any government. The goal is that you can smoke it anywhere, no regulations on its composition, and I can advertise it anywhere.

That does not matter, it is still regulated and I cannot unilaterally opt-out of government regulations. (Or I can, but that is a crime and is what crime organizations do).
It's not really.

What they are describing is that feeling you get when you suddenly realize you are losing even though you are even in pieces, because you suddenly see your opposition has superior positioning and board control

It's not a blunder, because there wasn't one particular move where the game slipped away.

At high levels, blunders are rare.
Once you get popular enough, you become the establishment.

Once something becomes the lowest-common-denominator populist solution or the solution for the privileged, those use cases become "bad" because of value judgements of the people using them.

It's a kind of romanticism for rebellion, and with cryptos usually a broad misunderstanding of what money is, what it does, and how it works.

Indeed nothing can be the growing rebellious trend forever. It either wins and becomes the standard or dies failing to live up to whatever ideals it didn't actually have.

>can smart people create anything ingenious that escapes being coopted / subsumed by the establishment? Or, can such a thing survive popularity on its own terms?

No, everything has vulnerabilities that will be eventually exploited.

The American constitution and the many governments around the world inspired by it have done a pretty good job of avoiding a complete consumption (in ways that, for example, communism did not), in part by specifically designing not just to handle or avoid greed and control, but to use those characteristics of societies as a feature.

The coin is trading at 17 USD after being introduced at 1 USD less than a week ago:

The coin is described here:

https://milliontoken.org

TechLead is a satirical channel and a satirical character. And this is a satirical project.

The coin is worthless. It is 4 lines of original code. Basically just saying the supply is fixed at 1 mio tokens.

It was introduced via Uniswaps liquidity provider mechanism with a thousand USD or so in liquidity. This will buy back the coin at 1 USD as long as the liquidity provider is running.

Giving the coin a "market value" of 1 mio. USD even though it is of course absolutely worthless.

Seeing this the crypto community started to traded it - higher and higher - while the founder of course sells into it.
Well maybe this is a way for him to prove his point?

Around 1990 or so, I can remember walking around the halls of the main CS building on campus on the way to one of my classes, passing a door labeled "Hypertext Laboratory". I remember thinking, "Hypertext... pffft. That's never going anywhere."

This is not true for most universities around the world. Only wealthy ones in first-world countries. All of my father’s academic colleagues in Mexico use Sci-Hub daily, and rely on it for access to literature.

But beyond that, there are paywalled journals which Harvard does not subscribe to. There are journals which the University of California does not subscribe to. (Or pick your favorite university, and there will be some paywalled journals it does not subscribe to.) Almost all are on Sci-Hub.

Moreover, even in the USA/Europe, there are many researchers who are not affiliated with any university, and many laypeople who look up scientific literature from time to time. For instance a great many paywalled papers are directly relevant to working computer programmers, but not worth $35/paper + bureaucratic hassle to evaluate.
I have a question:

> we picked a few stocks, and sold them to each other for a very low price, and then bought all of them up as the other students watched the trends. We repeated this for 1/2 of the stocks in the simulation.

I can see how you could use this strategy to exchange a fairly low amount of money for these stocks. But that would mean you have less money than you started with, and more stock.

> We then sold each other 1 share of those stocks for $99.99 (the maximum price in the simulation), and ended up with almost all the money.

And then this trade causes you to have the same amount of money and the same amount of stock. How did you get the money back? Did you actually end up with almost all of the money, or did you end up with almost all of the market capitalization?

It shouldn't be possible to make any sales of a stock at the maximum price, because the only thing that can happen to you, if you buy a stock at the maximum price, is that the price of your stock goes down.
But why? What benefit do you get from giving your best days to the company and not use them for yourself? Usually you don’t get anything in exchange for working hard.

The Spotify Model
Not easily. It's a rather opaque process.
I've been very surprised by the knee-jerk reactions from so many supposedly-educated corners against any discussion of potential treatments that are not "Get Vaxxed".

The nuance is not there - vaccines are generally safe in the short term for most demographics, and seem to be very effective from severe Covid, so do get vaxxed if you can. However, nobody knows what any long-term effects may be of the vaccines, so it's understandable that many people are hesitant (but not necessarily totally dissuaded).

There is a huge spectrum from "the government is trying to microchip me" to "vaccines are great all the time every time". Most people fall in the middle, and it's really strange and wrong to condemn anyone who does pause to consider things before agreeing to take a newly released pharmaceutical.

There is understandable interest in other therapeutics that might be effective, and we do ourselves a disservice to not openly discuss them. "People are too stupid to understand so let's not let them have the information" has never historically worked as a matter of policy.

Given that no one should be _actively_ writing 2.7 code, and that GH is trying to monetize this, I would think they could retrain the main model that excludes 2.7 code, and then allow people who need 2.7 to "pay for supporting 2.7" just like I'm guessing folks stuck on old platforms always do

The goal of the class was maximum stock portfolio value (as set by market valuation).

Everyone in the class started with a random set of stocks, and a set amount of funds. We looked at our portfolios and decided which to pump, and which to dump... then reversed when it was time to max out our portfolio values.

When everyone is focused on the small picture, it is really easy to play the macro game.

Note: You could put any price on a sell order, but someone had to match it in order to buy, so two people could quickly set the price of anything with a 1 share transaction.

It's been almost 40 years, but I think we maxed out things with few hours work across a semester.
Thank your for articulating something I've experienced over the years so clearly.

It's one thing I wish recruiters/HR would understand. I have an advanced college degree in a field that has nothing to do with engineering and I've found that omitting it from my resume actually made the recruitment process a whole lot smoother as a candidate.

Interviews went from inquisition sessions about why I wasn't doing what my graduate degree had "destined" me to do, why I had "given up" on it, how I could relate my academic background to the current job (I don't because I haven't cared for it in years), etc... It's like you're inherently suspicious if you didn't follow the path you took in your 20s all the way to your retirement.

So I stopped making any mentions of my academic creds, and the worse I get now are some condescending lines about how hard I must have worked. Other than that response rate & interviewer's attitude have improved markedly.
PoS relies on the possession (“keeping secret”) of private keys. No matter what you do, private keys (information) can be stolen, including in a covert manner (in a way that no one discovers that anything has been stolen). PoW relies on hardware, for which the same problem does not exist.
Felt like less workload because each commit had independent feedback that you could address resolve. Then you could push each commit as it was ready (or whichever part of the stack was).

Wip commits we’re often and frequent for CI purposes but as with PRs you don’t want to waste too much review time on WIP unless your asking for some preliminary feedback on a complex change.

Ideal commit length was unchanged to any other commit length you might be expected to do on any other team with good commit hygiene.
This depends on the level of the player observing the game, compared to the players level. It's pretty common to have a strong player at a masters level pointing out subtle positional or tactical mistakes, but the enemy is not skilled enough to exploit those - so the mistakes do not matter at that level.

This is also something to keep in mind to not get discouraged: Just because every move is terrible to a 3500+ chess engine at some level, it does not mean these concerns always apply to you at half that rating.
Surely your test-edit cycle involves at least some compiling. Maybe not every commit will compile, but most changes that compile will have a commit. At the very least a "real" commit has a much higher chance of compiling than an "artificial" one that you constructed retrospectively.

If you really do make most of your commits not compile then I can sort of sympathise with squash-merging, but if you merge then worst case it's a one-liner to bisect while only looking at "mainline" history (i.e. only the merges to master, the equivalent of what you'd get if you'd squash-merged), whereas if you squash-merge then there's no way to bisect back through the original history.
Yeah, this is an infuriating bit of human nature that I notice quite often. People would rather destroy the New Good Thing than take advantage of it.
> You keep comparing the colosseum killings to events that transpired over large geographical areas, for different purposes than entertainment.

I see, so enslaving, torturing, raping Africans and native American was not entertainment right? Was really required to kill 98% of the indigenous population. I understand, that makes sense indeed given your point of view.

> You cannot measure how primitive a culture is by the amount of people they kill.

Oh no? Then what's the metric let's see. You define what's primitive?

> To me (and, I would argue, most people), the monument symbolizes specifically those often pointless killings and nothing else

What do you think and your opinion is useless for the history. The monument was not symbolizing these killings give that was build before the killings happened and was not build for the sole purpose of killing people.

> prove my lack of knowledge of historical events

You proved that yourself I didn't need to do anything.

> Meanwhile, you have not told me anything I did not already know.

Meanwhile, your opinion is wrong even tho you've the right amount of information to understand that these games was normal.

It's like box, extreme sport or anything else like that. The difference is that the violence and the killings were well received by the population as these were normal back then.

Gladiators were not forced to participate to the games, they decided to do out of their own will. Which is totally different from other events where people were not given the choice. If you didn't want to participate to the games, was ok. No freedom for you. If you wished to do so, you had a chance to live free and a chance to die in the arena.
