We live in a world where prices are usually set by the constraints of mass production. We have trouble accepting the cost of custom-made things. Hearing aids can be ridiculously expensive. Custom keyboards at least are not quite so ridiculous.

Now that some of the earbud manufacturers are dabbling in processing of environmental sound, some people may be able to use consumer grade equipment, particularly younger Boomers and older Gen-Xers, due more to stigma than anything else.

Unfortunately that probably reduces volume of product for everyone else, keeping the mean price roughly the same but jacking up the high end.
Also makes me wonder: Are there analogs to the Gulf Stream in other parts of our oceans? Currents bringing warm water to otherwise cooler regions?
I love humanity's hubris in naming silicon life "artificial" like carbon life totally wasn't.

Which is a dark side of "cancel culture". When people (or media entities) decide to connect the dots then reveal the identity to whatever twitter mob is relevant.

Hopefully this doesn't become a bigger trend. As you said, the government can connect the dots if they need/want to. There's no need to vigilantes to do it on their behalf.
In 2016 I started at a company that had no build procedures and deployed to a variety of linux versions, developed on windows. It was a nightmare for administration, no automation, no monitoring.
I implemented containers and most of the process was getting the developers on board. Having technical sessions with them to understand what they needed and ease them into the plan so they felt enfranchished.
Doing this vastly increased productivity, devs could take off the shelf compose files that were written for common projects (it was a GIS shop) and meant they could concentrate on delivering code. It helped no end.

Sure there's issues (albeit a lot fewer as time progressed) with docker but for what it gained in productivity and developer's sanity, it was very welcome.
This blog never ceases to amaze me.
Also, you can virtualize a lot of Linux boxes inside a full LinuxONE machine. And almost a gigabyte of L4 cache for every four 5.2 GHz CPs makes it a seriously fast single-thread machine. Add to that all that hardware offloading for IO and you end up with a lot more capacity that you'd have on the same datacenter volume.
Makes me think of stuff like managing WordPress although I'm not sure if that's an example they had in mind.
Super stoked to see you launching after working on it for so long!

I still think Hubot (and bots in general, a la GitHub's internal usage) is severely undervalued. GitHub's usage of internal chat was pretty groundbreaking, which I think led to the movement behind Slack's growth. But there was a missing point in the rise of chat- namely, scripting automated processes and debugging collaboratively in public (internally). Which makes sense, since Hubot was a pain to set up and build a company around. So yeah, really excited about Abbot to jump in that hole in the market.
With rewards this low it's no surprise that people sell bugs and exploits to often shady third party entities.
Darn these snot-nosed hipster kids these days who don't like being forced into doing anything. Back in my day, we could force workers to do all sorts of things, and they liked it! They loved it! And there was nuthin' anyone could do about it.
I don't know that VSCode is a great example. I just started it and SublimeText and VSCode takes an order of magnitude more memory. If I watch the Task Manager as I type into each, VSCode also uses about 10x as much CPU which translates into worse battery consumption.
One issue is safety. A powered exoskeleton with any significant fraction of a human's full strength necessarily has the power to maim people including the operator. A robot can just be put in a cage where it can't hurt people, but an exoskeleton can't.

It's destructive to speculate on what your ideological enemies might be thinking so you have an imaginary reason to hate them. It's a kind of mental masturbation. Find a real thing real people did and complain to them about that thing.
> In reality, for decades saying "take this job and shove it" to McDonald's or Burger King has become increasingly hard thanks to the stagnant wages, a lack of benefits, non-compete clauses, and long stretches of economic recession that make it very difficult for workers to build up the kind of savings or emergency fund needed to quit without going through serious financial distress.

fast food jobs are encumbered with non competes? ahem I have doubts there because no one I know in those jobs has mentioned it. It may well happen elsewhere.

they also talk to the "executive director of the Worker's Institute at Cornell University", who I'm sure is so much more in touch with the plight of the fast food / dollar store worker, than, you know, those people that quit; which the story was supposedly about, right?

https://wolfstreet.com/2021/07/15/entrepreneurial-energy-fun...

lots of people are finding that the job market has been stripped of the things that used to make it better than the "irregular / self employed" scratch living that used to feature more largely in rural areas. "gig work" helps too.
Weird objection. I don't think this is solvable even in theory.

I mean we have to encrypt with what we have, right? They could use lattices or something (my impression is this would be, er, hard on the battery, but that's a vague impression), but those could be cracked as well. They could be cracked first!

This was the big winner for me. The deepfake had "Tarkin" and "Leia" on screen. The originals had 3D GCI (very good CGI, but CGI) with dead eyes.

To further my anecdoe, I totally missed Leia's sequence the first watch through because I was watching the content and zoned out, forgetting to evaluate her face for deepfake pixels because it looked real enough for me to suspend disbelief.

I have never been able to look at Leia's face in the original Rogue One scene without forcing myself to say "they did their best, they'll redo it someday for the 8K release, until then grin and bear the dead eyes".
It’s very possible we have about as much chance of colonising the nearest star as an ant colony has of getting from Australia to America.

In which case our earth will probably end up looking like one of those suffocated ponds that expanded too fast for its given resources.
You can get Linux VMs running on z15 hardware from IBM Cloud, with all the encryption and misc security features the architecture allows.

> the weakening of the US Navy (due to budget cuts planned out decades ago

Relative to the height of the Cold war, sure, but the US Navy still has 5 times more ( and much bigger) aircraft carriers than the next navy; and leads the other navies with similar multiples in submarines, various types of ships, airplanes, rocket and anti-rocket capabilities etc. etc.

The US Navy has a decent-ish chance in an engagement with the Chinese Navy for at least the next few decades, assuming the engagement takes place outside of the range of the Chinese air force.
Seems like the smart thing to do would be to treat law and regulation as something that needs - just like any other product - continual feedback, iteration, and improvement.

"Oops we created this bad side effect, let's narrow things down further" in the same way that we'd patch a security hole introduced by a new product feature.

Saying "the answer is to just stop trying to prevent bad things" is nonsensical on the face of it. The problems that caused people to care enough to want regulation didn't just magically go away!
Even if intelligent life existed in a nearby galaxy, our civilization might be gone by the time a communication manages to go round trip. More realistically, what are the odds that civilizations in the universe occur near to each other in both space AND time? ie, perhaps an ancient civilization 1,000 light years away came and went 20,000 years ago? Or longer? There's no chance we'd sync up.

The average software developer does not have an average IQ. Look at the figures at the end of this paper[1]. Even professions like nursing have IQs averaging close to 110. "Science and engineering occupations" are around 115 average, with nobody below 90. If you look at college majors, you'll get similar results.

Our occupations and interests cause us to self-segregate into cognitive strata. For the same reason you don't know many Trump voters or young earth creationists (despite the fact that they're 1/3rd of the US population), you probably don't know many dumb people (or many super-geniuses). Individual differences in cognitive ability are far greater than our personal experience indicates.

> A key part of my view (which I'll write about more later) is that within this century, we could develop advanced enough AI to start a productivity explosion.

This is the productivity explosion. I hate to break it to you, but it's hard to imagine places where AI isn't being implemented, and while our current research is progressing pretty smoothly on the topic, I don't really see any 10x or 100x improvements in that pipeline, unless we're strictly talking about model training (which can feel like an entirely different discipline altogether).
I’ve been very fortunate work with this legendary team and lead design for this project, and I have to say that working with teams that releases constantly, I absolutely love that Sleuth lets me know each time the work i've contributed to gets deployed to our customers and its impact - It's also super insightful to finally see the lifecycle of a deployment from my vantage point.
If you have kids that are close together in age, carseat and seat belt requirements can get tough. We had to move from a Subaru Outback (which I loved) to an Ascent (which I do not love) just to fit the 4th car seat in. It is impossible in an Outback, although 3 car seats work fine.

It is? The deepfake just looks out of focus to me, just something blurry that as a side-effect removes some wrinkles but also takes away lightning and everything else.

Not to say the deepfake isn't seriously impressive. But I very much prefer the netflix version.
It's not that the work is never done, it's just that most of what we really work on computers is actually made-up bullshit and doesn't really connect to producing actual material things. (You earn money for it though, but money is as immaterial as it gets... and then you get to spend the majority of it on rent, education, healthcare, and various services, which are also all immaterial things.) Actual production seemed to have disappeared in today's neoliberal societies: they're either relegated to the Third World, or automated enough for not that many people to participate in. But the twist is: the nostalgia of productive "down-to-earth" work now becomes a captivating force, but that is exactly what the current system wants to provide you with the fantasy of work.
That looks identical to Slack's implementation to my eyes. If you don't mind sharing, what did you like better?
I've been running HA for 4 years and I've never had it corrupt, it's been the same install as well. That said, I agree the integration configuration is a bit messy, although recent updates have made this better.

For automations and scripts, I use the built in automations for simple tasks (turn X off after Y minutes), and Javascript + Home Assistant JS + Generators for more complex automations.

I may be mixing up my chat apps, but isn't Google Chat 100% threads? I know one of the things under MS Teams is like that too and don't like it either.

I like the idea of having temporary side conversations with a time limit. There should never be an "eternal" thread, just things that come and go.
Satellites are very maneuverable too when you consider they normally only need to shift a few yards to avoid a collision, as long as their orbits can be measured precisely enough.

The bigger threat is apps with massive vertical integration that are popular in Asia. The West hasn't gone down that rabbit hole yet.
Back in 2016 during the original discussion of this article, amount said it very well in [0]:

"If you hit this many problems with any given tech, I would suggest you should be looking for outside help from someone that has experience in the area."

- Yes, "clean old images" was not implemented back then. His hack is not that bad, and one can filter out in-use images if they want to pretty easily. Anyway, docker does have "docker image prune" now.

- Storage driver history discussion is entirely incorrect. No, docker did not invent overlayfs nor overlayfs2. There was a whole big drama of aufs not mainlining, but it was mostly in context of live cd's, not docker.

But the big missing thing is: you should not store important data in docker images, Docker is designed to work with transient container. If you have a database, or a high-performance data store, you use volumes, and those _bypass_ docker storage drivers completely.

- The database story is completely crazy... judging by their comments, they decided to store the database data in the docker container for some reason and got all the expected problems (unable to recover, hard to migrate, etc....). It is not clear why they didn't put database data on the volume, there is a 2016 StackOverflow question discussing it [0].

Also, "Docker is locking away [...] files through its abstraction [...] It prevents from doing any sort of recovery if something goes wrong." Really? I did recovery with docker, the files are under /var/lib/docker in the directory named with guid, a simple "find" command can locate them.

- By default, Docker uses Linux networking and yes, the configuration is complex so it adds overhead. That's why there is --net=host option (which was there for a long time) which just bypasses that all.

You say this, but you appear to have dedicated your profession to blocking porn. (Multiple apps). I have trouble believing that this is not a moral crusade for you, dressed up as “helping people recover”. You are just setting up a censorship regime, which does not deal with the supposed underlying issues. I’m sorry for not assuming good faith here.
In all seriousness, naming your product after something established and in existence ensures I am going to never be able to find it again thanks to modern SEO practices. I remember in the 90s and early 2000s everyone named their product after a non English word as a rule to make it easy to trademark your product and for customers to search it out against common words. Today, everything is just some random clever English word. There is even a restaurant in my neighborhood called "Milk" now, the madness is overwhelming.
Sure, I think that's fine. What was off-putting about the parent comment is the way they seem determined to not take no for an answer, and judge the other person if their preference is not to talk.

Well, Robert DeNero's face still has the same proportions and bone structure, so taking the original video as a starting point would probably yield the same results.
There are a lot of easy things that we don't do everyday... We brush our teeth for health & hygiene. We, for the most part, trim/shave our beards for fashion. After all, under lockdown did you always get dressed up in the same way you did before?

Now, if it cost you money to keep your beard, that would be a different situation and probably motivate you more.

The discipline of engineering is littered with catastrophes throughout history - everything from bridge collapses to cars loosing braking power like in the old Buicks from the 50s. Yet we still keep innovating because we know that despite the risks involved the reward could be immeasurable.

So it needs power to move the weight of the human, plus 75-200lb? I’m wondering if an exoskeleton that’s only for moving a person about might have a lower power requirement or longer battery life?

ADHD is different for everyone, but basically an ADHD-friendly job is one where "maintenance" or "routine" tasks are not an expectation. I.e. keeping API documentation up-to-date every week is not a good Wildcard task. If you need someone to do that work, don't hire a Wildcard. If you need someone to do a little bit of everything (i.e. Chief of Staff type role) then it's a better fit.

> There most certainly _is_ something incredibly mentally addicting about passive content consumption. It doesn't need a root cause, just like you don't need one with alcohol and other substance addiction.

One of the problems with porn is that it's so easily accessible. With alcohol or cigarettes or dieting it helps to have the thing out of site, ie don't buy it. But with porn, you can hop on any of the many available devices and in seconds get access to new videos every day. Also porn is very easy to hide. it's a lot harder to hide cig smoke, being drunk or high.

I think that's the beauty of this app - it has a strong blocker that makes porn not as accessible and the community aspect makes it hard to hide.

Even in 2016, I had been running production services in Docker successfully. Its interesting to me that they see the problem "Docker isn't designed to store data" without also seeing the solution "the docker copy-on-write filesystem isn't designed to be written to production- but volume mounts are". I hadn't seen docker crashing hosts (still haven't) - but I'm guessing that was caused by using the storage drivers.

The complaints about their development practices are valid (and haven't really improved), but even then the technology worked well so long as you understood its limitations.
Children are expensive luxuries. Why would you subsidize them when there are 7.4B people in the world, with population momentum on track to arrive at 10B near the end of the century?

Subsidized higher education, universal healthcare, and higher taxes on the wealthiest are still all fine ideas, ideas I fully support. But the world needs less people regardless of those policies. We overshot global carrying capacity, and you can't socialized economic system your way out of that.

There was an single integrated tube to do this, the Dekatron.[1] Essentially 10 neon lamps in one vacuum tube. This was a bidirectional counter. Putting them all in one tube solved the neon lamp uniformity problem.
