I don't think the author is wrong necessarily about any of this but the tone of the article is so wildly cynical and scatterbrained that it can't achieve a focused argument.

A lot of the topics of the article are entirely tangential to the "metaverse" products themselves.

Yeah, we get it, Facebook is an elitist company with an out-of-touch billionaire founder. We get it, climate change is an important issue to address (though of course the article glosses over the fact that virtual meetings and overall better telework will combat climate change).

Facebook isn't really even generally the "low pay, crappy life" company to work for. They aren't Uber or Lyft or Amazon. Amazon is mentioned in the article but they don't make metaverse products, so I don't even see how they're relevant to the topic.

The author imagines a world where everyone has to escape the Blade Runner world on their Facebook Oculus device. I imagine a very status-quo world where Facebook is just attempting to sell fancy videoconferencing hardware to enterprise customers.
Cool! Was it supervised learning?

I feel like machine learning isn't at the level where it can tell if something is misleading, unless it's from a known sketchy source.
Another way to demonstrate it on a bicycle, you can do something pretty much every child has already done numerous times: ride without your hands on the handle bars (hands free).

To turn, you lean in the direction you want to go. But what way does the handle bar turn when you do that? It counter steers! You will fall if it doesn't (which is essentially what the No B.S. Bike demonstrates).
Smart or cunning?
Is it not on the site maybe? So far I haven't been able to find anything but the 128GB option.

Your wiki citation talks about it in the botched transition from swing wings to a fixed delta wings. The swing wings were unreliable, and caused quite a bit more chatter in a larger design like an airliner compared to designs like the F-14 (which already aren't really known for being a smooth ride). Converting the design to be a fixed delta wing aircraft had them using crazy ideas like using more or less solid titanium in the air frame, which was never going to be financially viable in the airliner space.

You can see some of this today in B-1 lancers, which are very much known for being rough rides, and are pretty close to a half billion dollars a piece compared to <$100M for a B-52 which is significantly closer to airliners wrt design philosophy and cost, and reliability (the B-52 has something like an ~80% ready rate, compared to the B-1's ~50% ready rate).
If you see me as FuD you might consider re-examining yourself?

Aspartame may not be the only one but it's absolutely the most common. And it really isn't very shelf stable and it really does taste nasty when it decays. If that's “FuD” then you're at war with taste buds?

Diet Pepsi switched to sucralose and had to switch back. Diet Coke sells a sucralose version but it's not at all popular. There are a couple smaller markets for offbeat sodas sweetened with stevia, but like someone else mentioned, stevia is a hella acquired taste, very soapy.
It’s fun to think in black-and-white terms like this but surely you can understand that there are (infrequently) gray scenarios that come up where your simplistic morality falls apart.

I agree with your theory but I would never blindly convict someone based on it in practice.

Curious about the details of how you were duped.
Probably. It narrows down the range of locations and therefore the search area. And given the potentially very low brightness of the object, search area and hence telescope time are limiting factors.
not sure, i do find innner energy or desire to build something but there are also days when i am exhausted.

on the other hand when i watch something or play games something is growing in me which forces me to continue to work on my project.

i do have a lot of side projects and maybe half of them are "finished"
They both spent a lot of time together and there is nothing else to do (flirt with). I prefer to deescalate this over your approach of escalating it!
Yeah that jumped out at me too. The authors go on:

> Politicians and tax collectors may grumble about it, but from the average citizen’s perspective, tax competition is more like a “race to the top.”

That's patently absurd, to put it politely.

To continue somewhat less politely: that this corporate arse-licking drivel is published on their webpage has permanently damaged beyond repair my opinion of this "Foundation for Economic Education". I have absolutely no interest in anything else they may have to say.
The presentation has all the answers. It's not MIMD or SIMD; it's an 32x4x8 grid of logically individual SMT2 cores. Groups of 8 shares an I$, groups of 32 shares a D$, everyone shares a LLC and memory interface. There's no divergence, each core is independent.

Don't miss the most important detail: low voltage. By running the Minions at a low voltage, you are reducing performance, but disproportionately increasing the efficiency (up to a point). It's an interesting trade-off of power, area, performance, and efficiency.

Add: it's clearly not indended to drive a GPU, but is presented as an accelerator. They have mentioned that it can also run standalone, thus, can be configured both a PCIe host and target.

They probably have reasons to believe that the subset is not so small, and would like to obtain credible studies determining the specificity of those circumstances ( = under which conditions adverse events are more likely to appear. Similarly to the circulating "Females under 60 / Males under 30", but with more detail).
Yes agreed, but the benefits appear to be insignificant relative to the benefits of giving that vaccine dose to an immunologically naive or otherwise vulnerable individual.
Would love to see what documentation you have around both of these points. I have not seen anything that indicates the SoC for the Pi supports eFuse or any other OTP storage.
One can always find extreme examples in the media (or online, if only enough people read this one of them will know someone). What percentage of the people not yet vaccinated is actually that kind of crazy?
Well, not the entire scientific community.

63 trials (31 RCT), 613 scientists, 26,398 patients:

What is needed is effective preventative and therapeutic treatments. Should a highly contagious strain like Delta mutate into something with a higher lethality that evades the current vaccines, there won't be time to develop a new mRNA vaccine before a large number of people are lost.

However, all preventative treatments seem to be strongly resisted, even censored and proscribed by the powers that be, unless they are under patent. Including the Nobel prize winning ivermectin.

I am, btw, 80 and fully vaccinated with Pfizer. I also take quercetin, zinc, vitamin D, and melatonin daily.

If you start with Common Lisp it is not "pretty easy" to write a DSL that provides the constraints of Rust. You'll need to reimplement type checking and borrow checking at least, and as others pointed out, it's a ton of work to match the ergonomics of the Rust compiler. It's even more work to implement IDE support comparable to say rust-analyzer (which takes advantage of Rust type inference). (And of course this all assumes you're happy to jettison Rust performance features like absence of GC etc.)

But say you do all that work. Congratulations, you now have an ecosystem of one person. To do anything in this language you need to reimplement a standard library plus third-party libraries, or at least write Rust-type-safe glue code to existing Common Lisp libraries. If someone wants to join your project, they'll need to learn your DSL first.

When you write a bespoke DSL for a problem already solved by a programming language with a sizable community you're giving up a lot of network effects. That is something the OP completely failed to account for.
There are no hops for Helm customers. The TLS connections for their domains terminate on their Helm server.
The risk of myocarditis and other adverse effects from getting COVID itself is multiple orders of magnitude higher than anything related to the vaccine. This should be a no-brainer if there ever was one. You do not want to be wihout vaccine immunity, even if you have been infected in the past.
>Does that help?

Yesyes..thanks for the tip, will check them out...or like 10 of them.
100% agree. The fact he still exists is surprising. I have never came across a single article from this guy which is useful... even so, when he belabors on an existing tech, I have always found articles from other bloggers which are way more precise and to-the-point. He is just a salesman under a tech garb.
Far from that clear cut, other results show booster shots on top of previous infection perform better than just natural immunity - and we will see how the longevity of both works out with future data, and can adjust accordingly. (and e.g. the current policy here in Germany: immunity counts for X (I think 6) months, afterwards a single booster shot counts as fully vaccinated.)
Last years iPhone 12 changed to a new square sided design. This year the 13 will be an S design (and leaked renders confirm).
Have been hosting home servers behind DynamicDNS for 5 years now. Have never had any issues because of it. E.g. Namecheap supports the protocol - no need for extra subscription.
Antibody tests are instant and widely available. These tests are (I believe) what the natural immunity studies use to establish history of prior infection.

Detractors will say that there is no established level of antibodies that means "immunity."

Ironically, it is declining antibodies though (and no set threshold) that is being used to justify "booster" jabs around the world!

Sure; well rounded engineers care about architecture as well. But in the same way some “code first” programmers are myopic and only really care about the code, plenty of product first engineers only really care how the product looks. I’ve met and worked with plenty of people who don’t have the skill to be creative with architecture, or don’t know how to structure the code to avoid certain bugs showing up over and over again. Or have no idea how to make their code run fast. - So their software becomes a beautiful, laggy mess.

One “product first” engineer I worked with years ago made a database indexing system, syncing our data into elasticsearch so we could add text search to our product. For about 6 months after the feature launched we kept running into indexing bugs - where data was missing from the index and things like that. I (naturally code first) ended up helping rearchitect it. After we relaunched the feature we never had another indexing data bug as long as I was at the company.

Sometimes it’s faster to take more time to do it right rather than do it wrong and spend your life playing whackamole with bugs. It all depends on your context. (Is this a MVP to throw away? Or are you working on code that will probably still be around in a few years?). The best engineers know how to adapt their own personal process to the needs of the project. Sometimes that means quick and dirty. Sometimes it means thinking it through and building it to last.
Thank you! As someone who as of a week ago is hardcore switching from Apple to Linux, I applaud you. I've purchased a 16" MBP, both Airpod models, iPhone, and iPad in the last 24 months. Now on to System76!

Whatever the past is, I believe there's a new market in 2021 for Apple-switchers that will unleash new funds for companies like yours. De-Google movement will pale in comparison to this in terms of economics. Looking into signing up just on principle. Non-E2EE encrypted, closed source, without ability to self host is a dead end, why put a penny more towards it. Open source options may suck today but it's the only path forward. Thank you for what you do - whether your company succeeds or simply inspires 1,000 new companies in its place.

What are your plans for Linux support? Your site only mentions Android and iOS, I see electron mentioned, but again I'm one of these Apple switchers, I have no idea what I'm doing really but I'm willing to pay for solutions.

Take my money!!!
I guess it depends on where and how you want to move it. I'm only a bit familiar with AWS. You could look at EC2, ECS, S3 (or others?) with Storage Gateway (I think).
I don't know how this is actually implemented, but it would be possible to do this as described if the static IP provided by Helm just proxied all incoming packets directly to the personal server, without acting as a relay server at the SMTP protocol level but instead just being a dumb proxy. There's no reason that Helm would need to act as a mail hop at the SMTP layer or do TLS termination anyways.

The reason that the using the server's actual IP wouldn't work is that most residential IP ranges are responsible for mostly spam (so most outgoing email would likely be filtered), and some ISPs don't assign static IPv4 addresses to residential users (IPv6 would fix the later issue, but mass IPv6 adoption isn't going to happen for a while).
I like the concept but perhaps not your approach. What I see is that American public schooling has become more focused on the bottom decile student than the top decile student, and also focused on “equity” metrics that don’t serve the needs of the top students. So what I’d like to see is a physical place where top students who can work 2+ grades ahead get together and challenge each other intellectually, but in a more affordable way than private school.

> I decided that it was my game and there was nothing wrong with continuing development on it after a four-decade break--especially since it's unclear whether anyone managed to get it running in 1981.

The TRS-80 was my first home computer. I do vividly remembering typing in the whole of Artic Adventure, cursing that I had made a mistake, and painfully checking over every character to find I had put it in identically.

However, bug-checking a typed program was also a common experience. Most of the BASIC games I re-typed from magazines had unplayable flaws in them, so I did actually manage to get it running... Eventually.
Is there any way I can get this awesome common lisp repl experience without emacs?

I'm sorry emacs fans, I've tried multiple times, vanilla, with distributions... it just doesn't work for me.

We don't know the long-term effects of corona or corona vaccines on the female reproductive system, especially eggs.

Considering that if eggs are attacked, that's the end of us, so we should learn more and fast.

Is the subscription mandatory. What about the minority of users who do have a static IP address. Should all users be given an option to arrange their own static IP address as well as to subscribe to a pre-packaged deal. They might be able to get a better price than $99/yr, or better terms. Whats to lose by having options.

These are honest questions because I have often thought about a similar project where a static IP is required and wondered if and how it could support itself.
Yes but I’m saying that’s a feature in Photos right now. So long as the photo has location data , you can see it on the Map in Places on the albums tab.

Your STM is missing a proper approach mechanism. The vertical range of the piezo that is used for scanning will only be a few 100 nanometer. A screw is too coarse for that! Stick-slip mechanisms with a ramp (Besocke or Beatle-type STM https://www.researchgate.net/figure/1-Diagram-of-the-Besocke... or page 25 of https://www.bgc-jena.mpg.de/bgc-mdi/uploads/Main/MoffatDiplo...) are one solution. Even with such a mechanism, the 'approach' phase takes many minutes!
Immunity is more complicated than that. Antibody titers is not the metric we would want.
Okay, THAT would be easy to stage.
This sounds like mild inconvenience.

I work for a startup that is, among other things, advising NASA on how to architect the Lunar Network (i.e. the transit network to and from the moon) for the Artemis program. We are an Intelligent RF company. We are looking to hire more people, especially someone at the level of Principal Scientist or Senior Principal Scientist. If this interests you, please leave a comment and I will get in touch.
Oh hey, their slides mention Glow, which is the open source ML compiler I worked on at Facebook. Neat to see it getting used here :-)
You asserted that there was no benefit to getting the vaccine for previously infected. I pointed you to a reference that shows that that is not true. The original article to which we are all responding pointed out the minuscule levels of risk associated with getting the vaccine.

With respect to autoimmune disease, I think we are seeing that long covid is becoming a significant health concern among even healthy young people with only a mild response to Covid infection. Here is an example article:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/as-vaccines-do-their-work-focus...

Relevant quote: "Long Covid—a term referring to symptoms that linger for weeks or months beyond infection—affects between 10% and 30% of people who catch the virus, including those with mild or asymptomatic infections, according to experts. In some cases, symptoms persist for more than a year."

At any rate, I imagine none of this will persuade you, so I simply wish you good luck and hope you remain healthy. My strongest hope is that things can improve enough that we can all go back to arguing about linux user interface schemes.
I already answered your question, but to reiterate:

If the belief is that developers should be on-call (as the OP I responded to suggested) so that they "feel the pain" and address the issues, then they actually need agency to address the issues.

If the problems are in someone else's code (a purchased system, another department), then they have no agency to address the problem beyond entering tickets.

If the problems are in code that they are responsible for, but are not permitted to change (it's too low in the priority queue), then they have no agency.

If the problems are in the structure of the system and they aren't permitted to change it (or, again, it's too low in the priority queue), then they have no agency.

They have to be permitted to restructure, recode, and reprioritize everything to have agency. Otherwise the "feel the pain" approach is just management fucking around not wanting to hire enough staff to handle the on-call rotations, but covering it up by claiming they have a "good" reason but failing at follow through.

As a real-world example of this, a place I worked at did the on-call rotation for devs, but had a problem with a message queue. The devs weren't permitted to change its configuration (tune it). They weren't permitted to purchase new hardware to distribute the load. They weren't (it was a purchased system) permitted to change the code to the message queue system. They just got calls every night saying that the queue was full and had to address it. Every single night. There were no fixes because they weren't empowered to fix it. Naturally, a lot of people left rather quickly because they got tired of management's bullshit "feel the pain but don't fix the problem" attitude.

And turnover is another issue. Even if the problem were caused by those developers (and not a component they couldn't control), turnover, which happens in every company, means that at some point the devs getting the calls won't even be the ones who made the system. They're just the poor schmucks who hired on thinking they were going to be software developers, but who got saddled with an extra job they weren't actually trained for.
How would you compare yourself to Mylio? Mylio is closed sourced & a $10/month subscription, but doesn't have a cloud component to it, so you can have unlimited amounts of photos. You have to manage your desktop computers yourself although. It also lets you store photos E2E encrypted on onedrive, amazon drive and google drive.
