> For starters, it doesn’t run on the channel subsystem, but uses the CPU for it.

Low/mid range mainframes don't really make sense anymore, but channel programs did run on the main CPU on quite a few low/mid range mainframe systems.

> Also, channel programs (the IBM ones) can do a lot of stuff - IBM’s ISAM uses self-modifying channel programs. These channels can’t be that flexible because they run within the kernel and being too flexible would be a security risk.

There's no reason this couldn't do that either as long as it's run in a preemptable context (which I'm pretty sure is the case from looking at the example program). Schemes like eBPF mainly control code flow in pursuit of the goal of running in non preemptable contexts like interrupts.

I'm not following your argument unless your definition of "disrupt" is simply "to make more expensive".
Widespread adoption of these kind of products are a precursor to a big-brother dystopia. Given FB's reputation (and raison d'être), it's plausible that these devices will become tools for purposes such as crowd-sourced sousveillance.
About 48% of the human population owns a smartphone (that doesn't include "feature phones"). 85% of American adults own a smartphone. 97% of Americans own a cellphone.
I don't know if it would help them much. They want the camera pointed at themselves. I guess they could use them while looking in the mirror.
How is this different than people having their smartphones out?

I dislike it too, but I don't think I'd actually ostracize anyone for it. Maybe I'd refuse to interact in particular ways (deeper campfire conversations).
My last gig gave me a 2% raise then rubbed salt in the wound by saying that I should feel privileged because only a few people got a raise.

When I left a few weeks later, they attempted to provide a counter and the promotion to a level that was still below where I probably should have been hired into.
Please point me to one of devices you worked on that is wearable and draws 3A when transmitting. I would also love to see a BLE device with power consumption in the amps, especially considering TX power limits in the standard. Its normal for Class 3 BLE radio to consume same current when transmitting as when receiving (in <20mA range).
I’ve don’t similar fixes over the years soldering replacements for dead components and changing the CCCL in a laptop.

You can't create a monopole, either electrostatic or magnetic. If you impress a negative charge on something, there must be an equally strong positive charge somewhere nearby that you'll have to insulate somehow.
Most major metro areas in the US continue to have soft drink bottling plants (though they're using plastic bottles and aluminum cans these days), since transporting huge volumes of water is more expensive than smaller amounts of flavoring and coloring. Eugene OR (pop ~175K) may be slightly too small for that to be practical, but here in Portland I bike to work past two active bottling plants.
But what is the API supposed to do when it comes across a `begin` flag? Stop all filesystem activity in all programs until yours sends the `end` flag? What if that flag never arrives, e.g. due to a bug in your client code?
As long as you touch 0.0% of their native services, Isn't that where we are already to some degree with GKE/AKS/EKS? Admittedly, networking/ingress/storage continue to be pretty platform specific. But in theory, as those platforms mature, being able to provide "k8s dialtone" would seem to be attractive.

I'm just wondering what comes after k8s itself - though I suspect we're looking at a minimum 15-20 year runway.

Eh. A throw back to 15 or something years ago when a rogue/lone/autonomousteamm/orsomething at MS launched start.com, which was a web 2.0 aggregating kind of homepage.

It's weird how they didn't reuse start.com, which now redirects to microsoftstart.com.
From "Why not web":

> I think the fundamental problem of the web is that its APIs are too high‑level.

Frameworks like Flutter (at least one backend) [1] [2] and Gio [3] use low-level APIs like WebGL and WebAssembly. That might not be the right choice for a web-first framework but seems reasonable for apps that would otherwise be desktop-only and need low-level access to be compatible with the native version.

It looks like he's using Skia for rendering so the WebGL/WebAssembly Skia port that Flutter uses might be a particularly good fit.

I assume a Clojure project would use Clojurescript if it had a web target, but I'm not familiar enough to know if the Clojure/Clojurescript differences [4] pose a big obstacle for this sort of UI framework or not.

This was the main argument against social networking back in the day. "If I want to talk to someone, I'll pick up the phone and have a quality conversation." People are abandoning Facebook for a number of poor product and business decisions on Facebook's part, but we did learn that there's a difference between the opt-in and opt-out communication channels.

Google glass had this air of inevitability about it. The glasses were hyped to be the the next iphone. Not only that, but tech was going to create iphone-level product categories every 3-6 years.

Then it completely fell flat. It just didn't cross the divide from enthusiasts to the wider culture at all. The term glasshole was invented. We all saw scoble in the shower.

It might be that the culture's moved enough over the last decade that smart glasses will be a thing, as more people see social media success as aspirational. AR and VR give a value prop that wasn't there. Still, it seems like there's a big gap between the enthusiast market and the mainstream, and this release doesn't do much for that.

Should it be legal to use hidden cameras to record images of people without their knowledge? Or should it just be legal to deliberately modify small cameras for the sole purpose of doing so, and illegal for manufacturers of small cameras to implement tamper detection?
JVM startup time is not great but it's not horrible either. Especially in the context of desktop apps that are often started once and kept running for a long time. With some care it is definitely possible to spin up a JVM and display an initialized window within 1 or 2 seconds. Which is roughly the same time as Gimp or Krita or Thunderbird take to startup on my machines.

I even have a few git-style CLI tools that bootstrap a JVM on each invocation without using optimized graalvm/native images.
Thanks! Fascinating that the translator chose to represent the dialectal bits explicitly with a contemporary dialect, even though the style of the translation is not all contemporary. And the contemporariness makes the intent hard to understand without reading a bunch of footnotes (or ancient Greek) only a few decades later.

It's possible the fees are lower because the remitter can offer a sub-market exchange rate that allows them to take some of the difference in profit.

Because El Salvador uses USD, there is no profit opportunity in exchange rate arbitrage.
The dog picture NFT falls into the category of gambling rather than finance. It's a form of gambling on the blockchain where everyone throws their money into a pile for the right to own X% of the pile, and they hope that the size of the cash pile will increase so they can cash out at the optimal time.

As with all gambling, the house will always win. The cash pile can lose value without anyone ever cashing out, and the house probably gave themselves a huge percentage before the game started.
> I don't think a big proof that has been accepted by the community has ever been found to be false by programmatic methods.

Right, because that's not how it works. Errors aren't discovered after the proof has been translated into machine language because that is the only step of the verification. As soon as the code is written, the proof is verified. Necessarily, then, any error discovery has to happen before that.

I am not a mathematician, though I do very applied math (ML), I took a course this semester that is intended for Pure Math MSc, called Advanced Vector spaces, having only done some linear algebra and calculus at the undergraduate level, some abstract algebra and some geometric algebra.

I am consistently in awe of how well mathematicians have stacked layers of abstraction one on top of the other, and how many different ideas end up being very related to one another. Maybe I am romanticised it and the fact that I regret not going for pure math, but there is beauty in all those abstractions that fit together so nicely.
> if you're running an on-prem server, you're not running rando code from untrusted sources so the performance-impacting mitigations don't make sense. Yet there were (and still are) a lot of people who insist these mitigations need to be applied everywhere.

There's always generally someone else's code running somewhere, if it's "trusted" or not it's still a valid risk to assess.
I wonder how many other results in maths require an entire book length treatment (or multiple book length treatments)? The one that jumps out to my mind is Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem(s)[1]. I know there are at least a couple of complete books dealing exclusively with this result.

Seems more likely that it would be the voltage rating? While it’s true that a larger capacitance would be fine in many applications, it wouldn’t always be (e.g. if the cap is part of an RC filter or if it’s used as a bypass cap). In contrast the voltage rating of a cap is just a maximum.

Welp, looks like this is going to be another avenue by which a major corporation engages in mass surveillance capitalism. I'd rather my financial activity not be constantly monitored, profiled, and sold off for advertising or whatever other purposes.

This is why I hope that privacy coins catch on, but I'm unfortunately quit pessimistic that they will ever see mass adoption. If not for the lack of user will, then for the massive pushback we'll see from corporations and governments.
the government really doesn't like a challenge to its power.

as seen from past antitrust actions, I expect much of "big tech" to be thoroughly dismantled.

alphabet will be chopped up along business lines. Each business will have to develop its own independent ad system.

This will be a great opportunity for startups who might otherwise never would have a chance.

Edge is probably a fine browser.

But I'm phasing out Microsoft on my computers - even overlooking all the crappy ads and shady telemetry, they fundamentally don't build usable account systems.

"Microsoft accounts" are really bad. And I'm not even talking about the 'personal' or 'work/school' split, which is also horrible. I'm talking about having multiple different accounts with different names. I've worked hard to only have one private one. But since I have three different ones through work, I've discovered a few fun things.

When all accounts have the same initials (from my name), it's usually impossible to see which one you're logged in as.

Teams generally crashes when you try to change accounts, and notifications don't work properly across accounts.

Signing in to a WinUI "modern" app is really scary, as it might "take over" your whole computer and render other apps semi-unusable if you're not using those with the Microsoft account you just signed in with

Sign-in browser views generally don't show up in the window list, and generally don't explain why you're asked to sign in, or what app you're signing in to. The window list thing is a UI annoyance, the lack of information is a security issue. And also makes me sign in with the wrong account when I guess wrong. Oh, this wasn't Teams, it was Git. Oops, other account.

Also, Microsoft wants me to always be signed in to their system when I'm just using my computer at home, offline. It's mentally taxing. I don't want to keep track of 43 different privacy settings to make sure I don't have a "Created 10 PowerPoint slide transitions" badge visible on my "profile" or whatever. But I understand that last issue might be less important for other people.

I don’t think the article is outdated: US, Europe, and Japan all still use fractional reserve banking to create money. The central bank controls the base money supply using tools like open market operations or quantitative easing, but the broad money supply is some multiple of the base money supply. That multiple is determined by what fraction of deposits is lent out by commercial banks in the banking system.
> FWIW, this issue is essentially entirely caused by Linus, who refuses to use or accept GPL3.

That's a bit disingenuous. Linus has said no to the GPLv3, yes, but his reasons for doing so have merit.
The less tech literate to prefer it. There are fewer things to learn and click on to see what they want. I am not a big fan, personally, but know plenty who are. My guess is that MS would much rather provide something that many like, others are indifferent or slightly dislike, and few extremely dislike.
For my personal work, I treat GPLv3 (and similarly licensed) projects as essentially the same as anything behind a commercial license -- they don't exist.

Rather than thinking about how to re-implement a thing that doesn't exist, I think about how to implement the tool I actually need. What I end up with may be less general, but it's actual functionality is often simpler and easier for me to grok/remember.
Children getting whisked away by a handsome protagonist and his magical sidekick to fight against "cool things" like pirates and mermaids in a world unlike our own?

Its an Isekai.

---------

Isekai is this modern trend in anime (and US movies sometimes!! Like Ready Player One), where characters are sent to another world. Sometimes due to death explicitly ("Reincarnated in a New World" plotline: like "I'm a Spider So What"), sometimes just "temporarily" transported (Sword Art Online / Ready Player One, they are "just" playing a video game).

From an "Isekai" perspective: people want two things.

1. A world very different from our own. Completely different "physics" or rules. So magic systems, history, culture, etc. etc. that's nothing like our world. Neverland easily qualifies.

2. A character who explores the new world from our perspective. The main character is always someone "like the audience", who can be ignorant about the new world. (The various characters the protagonist meets are therefore given an opportunity to explain the world to the newcomer, allowing the audience to learn about the world in a natural manner). In Peter Pan, Wendy is the Isekai protagonist.

------

Alice in Wonderland, Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Wizard of Oz, A Lion, A Witch, and the Wardrobe. The concept happens again and again as a pattern, because its a good framing device. I'm not sure if Peter Pan can be seen as an allegory of death necessarily, any more than "I'm a Spider, so What?" (2021 Anime) could be.

The children are... children... because the main character often should match the profile of the target audience. Not always, but its a good rule of thumb to keep. Children stories will therefore have child-protagonists more often than not (Polar Express, Lion Witch Wardrobe, Harry Potter). There are exceptions (Peanuts has child protagonists but is largely written for an adult audience), but its just the rule of thumb authors seem to use.
Newspapers used to serve the function of establishing a shared set of knowledge about the world to readers. There was a limited range of options, depending on where you were - usually a couple local papers and a couple national ones.

Personalized news feeds destroy that commonality. Undoubtedly, those limited options were (and are) biased, and more solid information is available today. But that commonality had a value independent of conveying information.

Aside from all of that, I don't want news sources trying to predict what I want to read, because a major aspect of my news reading is looking at how various sources are spinning things. I read a lot of material I disagree with. "Services" that try to guess how I prefer to be gaslit are counterproductive.
Do you think it should be illegal for a manufacturer to implement features in their product that attempt to detect and prevent usage of the product that is dangerous or harmful to the user or others? Should products with batteries be allowed to detect when the battery is being damaged and deactivate in order to prevent excessive heat or fire? Or is there something specific about tampering with a camera indicator light that you feel is deserving of legal protection for the end user?

It's a major PITA as I live in a country where I don't speak the language well. It's even worse when there's no obvious way to just get it in English. It's triple worse if they decide to "localize" content for you based on your location even if you have everything set to a different country anyway.

Google really sucks at this; I can set it to English or Dutch all I want, but I still get suggestions and results in Indonesian. Funny enough, the date format is always in the confusingly reverse "month/day/year" in spite of their ham-fisted forcing of everything else.

> in an interpretation where superpositions are less real than classical states

What do you mean by “classical states”?

In your example diagonally polarized photons are not more “a superposition” than any other photon. For a pure state like that one being or not “a superposition” depends on the basis, it’s not a property of the state.

In the most general way I would say NFTs allow for a more granular monetization of things. If you look at the history of finance it's a step by step progression to monetize smaller and more abstract things. It went from monetizing parcels of land (farmers paying a tithe), goods (farmers selling their own crops), services (people selling their labour), financial assets (selling future cash flows of a company or person), royalties (ownership rights to art, technology, patents, etc) down to ideas and bits of code (NFTs).
It's not "illegal" to put tape over the led. It's a violation of the terms of services and they could cut you off from their service.
