I dug into IPv6 a few weeks ago. If you learn it from the ground up, as if you were first learning IPv4, it truly is not more complicated than IPv4+ARP. Length of address may be a reason people don't look at it at first, but if you look at it from an engineering perspective, it makes sense.

The only thing I don't like about it, is how they created SLAAC (a way for a client to auto-configure its own IP address without DHCP) - but didn't enable routers to provide DNS information.

Therefore, in any useful deployment, you need to deal with SLAAC for IP allocation, and DHCPv6 for DNS information.

Outside of that, the spec is pretty decent.

----

Also, damn every ISP and every router company that doesn't 100% support IPv6. Shockingly, this includes Ubiquiti, which is "supposed" to be medium-enterprise grade.

ISPs and endpoint network devices are the only reason we don't have IPv6 more prevalent, combined with NAT, CGNAT etc. being good enough to keep the net hobbling along.
I work on the classical computers around the exotic stuff, so I'm not really qualified to comment. Either way, Aaronson's negative commentary - which is many years out of date, at this point - is not something that anyone pays very much mind to, because at the end of the day one can't allow a mere critic on the sidelines to get in the way of actually producing real machines.

> maximising the chances of producing a viable product

That's the goal. The annealing QPU is a co-processor, like your GPU, like vector processors, or a DSP, etc. It doesn't need to compete with classical compute on the things classical compute is good at; it needs to compete on the things classical compute is bad at, or at the very least, bad at without throwing massive piles of money at it. There is a crossover point for optimization problems where we will be able to show a price/performance advantage over classical compute, which we term Quantum Advantage (vs. the more divisive term of Quantum Supremacy).

The trick at this point is formulating problems in such a way as to be something you can run on our hardware, which still requires a deep mathematical skillset. This is something we're building on... perhaps pay attention to our Qubits conference coming up next week - https://www.qubits.com/ - there should be some interesting announcements!
the Internet is almost out of IPv4 addresses, and the ones that are left are becoming expensive to obtain. Rather than hide whole blocks of users behind NAT, they can just use IPv6.
this is false. the supply would be gone at those low prices. Now they can be had for those who want it badly enough.
Can you actually bind the heirs? How would that work?
More revenue, yes.

That was my point. Revenue rises, and everything else grows with it regardless of need.

Whether or not the marginal junior data scientist is a net win for the company.... I suspect not at a company like FB. Efficiency is hard. Factories are efficient because margins are slim and capital costs are high. FB is the opposite. There's no external disciplinarian forcing managers to find ways of minimizing junior data scientist headcount.

FB profit margin this year is 37%. When margins are that high, there's not much incentive to cut fat. If profit margin is 3%, a 1% efficiency gain is a major win. At 37%... different game.
A small ARM cannot emulate the MEGA65's 40MHz CPU or 81MHz pixel-clock VIC-IV video controller, unfortunately.
Funny that the solution to that would be some kind of democratic centralism, anaethema to business people but consistent with a branch of communist theory.

The reason the businesses are run centrally planned is because the alternative is introducing internal markets within the company which create high internal transaction costs, brutal politics, and duplicative effort.
For anyone out there I highly recommend reading The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolbert

It's a plain, almost coldhearted look at what we are doing to the planet and where this path leads. Something needs to change urgently.
600,000 over the last two years may seem like a lot of deaths at face value but over the same period of time about 4,500,000 died from other non COVID things and 6,000,000 people were born. So the deaths from COVID are relatively small in comparison. Plus the debt only increased due to COVID as they printed and spent trillions upon trillions of dollars.
Organ donation lobby no doubt.
I understand what's happening all over, but those are the small collapses I'm saying will eventually all string together and start to cause wider collapse that we won't be able to stop. Right now, we can still rewild an ecosystem fairly easily, but that won't be feasible when multiple ecosystems are collapsing all around us.

Don't get me wrong, I think we should be in panic mode and start a full redirection of public funds towards serious preservation of natural species and habitats, with carbon sequestration implementations, both short and long term solutions, and a serious jobs program to implement all of the above.

But it won't happen because the public is too removed from the problem. Most people haven't felt any real impact, and we probably won't be able to get massive legislation passed until that point, and I fear it will be too late once they do.
Agreed. It's 133 pages. Content is good for those like myself trying to answer "Where to start" with cloud stuff. Still cheaper than LinuxAcademy/ACloudGuru. If it leads to a six-figure career, a $24 investment is worth it I guess.
> there is less variation among processors

Definitely, to the point where it feels like they're breaking up their product line to further narrow this variation, or at least that felt like the case with the i9-10850K vs the i9-10900K.
I do not find it surprising that when you stop teaching new generations how to make things, manufacturing productivity gets worse. In the Texas school district I attended, all the vocational and shop classes were eliminated in the mid-90s to make budget for the creation of Cisco networking certification classes that were canned less than 10 years later. This re-budgeting was going on in school districts across America. High school shop after high school shop sold machine tools that they had taught kids on since the 60s and 70s at pennies on the dollar. 10-20 years later when parents started demanding vocational classes back, the school districts realized that modern machine tools are too expensive to get back into schools unless they can pass multi-million dollar bonds. Generally, only the best funded schools in the best run districts have had good enough organization and motivation to make these bonds happen since. As a result, you get one or two specialty shop classes at a single magnet high school in well-funded school districts, but they are few and far between.

This was just my n=1 experience and perspective in my particular corner of the world. I would love to hear if other students or faculty from those eras had similar or dissimilar experiences.

The big one here of course is communism. Arguably the most censored idea in the history of American politics. The government even held hearings to track down adherents.

In some places it's still difficult to have an uncensored discussion about much tamer topics like labor organizing.

I don't think anyone is saying that. People are rolling their eyes because these lists are inevitably comprised of extremely popular books that were once, usually temporarily, removed from a single school library somewhere in the US.

There are books these libraries cannot even buy and which the school librarians will often not buy or even destroy for ideological reasons, but these books do not appear on these lists. Only the popular, famous, and widely available books that are often on required reading lists.

EDIT: A great example is To Kill A Mockingbird, which always appears on these lists. TKAM was once 'banned' because people considered it too antiracist, now it is often 'banned' (rare isolated instances in either case) because it contains racial slurs. Nevertheless for the past 20 years almost every American schoolchild has been required to read TKAM. It is absolutely absurd to speak of it in any meaningful sense as a banned book. It's just a book librarians and teachers love that sometimes gets complaints.

For some context on why this person is so keen on selling houseplants, New Zealand is currently undergoing an absolutely absurd houseplant bubble. Variegated monstera plants are selling for north of $20,000[0] in some cases, and well over $1,000 in ordinary cases[1]. I have no idea what is causing the houseplant bubble, but I can say in my opinion that variegated monsteras are ugly compared to ordinary green monstera plants which grow like weeds and can easily be propagated.

I think scrum and all agile frameworks are trying to solve two problems.

1) Making good software efficiently

2) How can stakeholders get a better sense of how much work a team can do per unit of time

I don't think scrum offers anything in the first department that "Hey, don't do waterfall" doesn't. I don't think this advice needs a capital "Agile" or Scrum though. It's pretty obvious nowadays.

As for the second gaol, I don't think it offers much either beyond the advice "Hey, speak up if you encounter a blocker and think it's going to take longer." Again, I don't think that deserves a capital Agile / Scrum. Has anyone actually been on a team where you nailed down your velocity and this truly helped anyone?

I think a good process is Design <-> Iterate -> Ship, have a real quick standup to identify problems early and often and then report back to stakeholders. Just pull tickets Kanban style. Have a retrospective once a month or so.

Doesn't deserve or need to be a whole religion.

There's a followup email in the same thread saying that Jobs was cool with other companies hiring anyone that approached them directly, but not cool with companies doing "systematic solicitation" - https://twitter.com/TechEmails/status/1402650278105583620/ph...

Even though the person is paraphrasing what he said, doesn't that make sense? It's scummy and illegal to block a move once a person has decided to switch companies - but it doesn't seem to be the case here. It may be ok to target a specific person that you think may be a great fit.

However, is it ok to systematically target entire teams(regardless of whether or not this actually happened)? The answer to that may still be yes, but I haven't made up my mind on that yet.
PBS – In Their Own Words: Elon Musk
Those defaults were changed a decade ago and were never an issue if you used a driver eg. Python.

And the Jepsen tests are part of the core test suite so do you some evidence they are still failing.

It’s so ridiculous and pointless to be rehashing the same issues a decade later.

Actually more a testament to the company that it’s still hugely successful and depended on by some very large applications.
The reason why "the vast majority of people" are not considering purchasing an electric vehicle have to do with uncertainty about the charging experience and long term maintenance and repair costs. It has nothing to do with FSD.

Once the costs of ownership are well understood, that uncertainly will be resolved and the cars can be priced correctly. That will take time -- if I buy a 10 year old corolla with 100K miles I will know (after the usual mechanic inspection) what my expected maintenance costs will be, on average, for the next 5 years of ownership.

You can't really say that for an out-of-warantee Tesla because there isn't a large group of independent mechanics that can service it and because there is a lot of uncertainty about the battery life and service costs. Over time, if Teslas remain popular, and if the company doesn't DRM them out of existence, such networks will develop and we will accumulate actuarial data on repair costs that will reduce risk.

Until then, this market will remain primarily one of price insensitive or risk-insensitive customers -- e.g. wealthier people and possibly government or other large corporate fleet sales. That is exactly what you would expect for new technologies. But for most people, a car is a major proportion of their networth, one they need to get to work, and so they are going to be risk averse (which is exactly what they should be).

My next car will most likely be a 10 year old Lexus or Acura product. Even if it's a different manufacturer it will be an ICE vehicle and not an electric vehicle. Purchasing an out of warranty Tesla isn't remotely close to a viable option as it's not possible for me to price it. But used car prices drive new car prices because most purchasers are not planning on driving the car until it has zero value, they are counting on the used car market to pay for half of their car purchasing costs. Really for new technologies, Tesla should focus on leasing their cars if they want to reach out beyond the price insensitive market.
I wish the eGPU scene was a little more refined and mature. It was almost there with Intel thunderbolt but with the M1 we've got an entirely new thunderbolt implementation that barely supports (pretty sure it still doesn't without something like display link) more than one external display for what I can only imagine is a hardware limitation. It seems like we always almost get there and then something new comes along and everyone chases that instead.

In a world where energy is free, I don’t see polluting industry as a problem. What pollution is there that can’t be prevented if you can spend as much energy as you want in recycling stuff? If you try hard enough, about everything can be taken apart into its chemical elements.

Twitter's Public Applications for Professional Profiles, a New Option for Brands
I have a lot of thoughts about this comment, but here are my two cents.

> There's a market for budget and privacy oriented customers that all carmakers seem to have ignored for two decades now. Give us a simple car with no GPS navigation, ass warmers, tire pressure sensors, telemetry, backup cameras, USB chargers, proximity detectors, traction control, keyless entry, remote climate control, etc.

I feel like you're vastly overestimating the market size. Most non-tech people don't care about their privacy on their phone, their laptop or their TV. Most people don‘t even know that their car actually has the hardware to track them, why would they care about their privacy in their car?

> I understand the re-engineering is a cost. But when you're simply removing existing features, this should be a fairly negligible one.

I would not expect that to be fairly simple re-engineering. Many assistive technologies are mandatory in new vehicles (at least in some regions like the EU) such as automatic emergency calls, etc. Those are not standalone systems but they have many dependencies on sensors, etc. With the supply chains of traditional automakers, chances are the components necessary to integrate one mandatory system aren't even from the same supplier. This makes cherry picking features extremely hard if not impossible.

> these carmakers have decided to throw up their hands and shut down production or pile up unfinished inventory waiting on chips. It makes precisely zero sense.

I don't think it's coincidental that they decide to shut down a plant in Germany (besides the fact that Opel is originally German). In Germany we have something called "Kurzarbeitergeld" which is a support companies in trouble can receive in certain situations to support their employees. Employees continue to work a fraction of the time (50% Kurzarbeit basically means you only work half of your weekly hours, 100% Kurarbeit means you don't work at all for a certain period). The money the employees receive is largely paid for by the Government (the taxpayer).

Usually Kurarbeit comes with a very strict set of rules, but thanks to covid those rules have been loosened a bit and especially carmakers (VW and BMW) take advantage of it (BMW for example sent many of their workers into Kurzarbeit but decided to pay billions of dividends to the Quandt family). So I suspect it was cheapest to shut down the Germany plant.
