First, I want to state that I appreciate your comment - I'm about to use some strong words in my reply and I wanted to say that I'm using them for conciseness, and not out of disrespect towards your (valid) points.

If someone were to argue "our strategy for survival is not to fight our enemies, but rather to convince them to use non-lethal weaponry", you would read their research in the rubble of their country after an enemy laid waste to them. I feel the same way towards that line of research: why would the US Army program their AI to be less aggressive when they could... not? How about the Russian army? China? Iran? You point out that anyone with money can make a DDOS attack, and I feel exactly the same way here: malicious AI could come up from anywhere.

If those researchers truly believe that a malicious AI is possible (and again, the website that started my comment chain puts it as a top-3 priority), they have to assume that it will be developed by someone with no interest in playing nice, just like that factory that started spewing ridiculous amounts of CFCs in 2019. Why would anyone use anti-bias correction in their NN embeddings when the biased ones exploiting harmful stereotypes gets them higher profits?

If those researchers cannot stop the most likely scenario, then I consider their research little more than wishful thinking. And we have seen how good "everyone will surely play nice" has worked - spam, pop-ups, phone scams, the list goes on. That's why I like DDOS as an application: it's the world's stupidest AI causing a lot of trouble. Can you outsmart that? Good, then now we can talk about outsmarting Skynet.
Bringing up the old mouse makes this conversation sound so dated - as I said, I use a trackpad. Specifically, like millions of others, I work on a MacBook Pro with an incredibly precise trackpad right under the keyboard. I move my hand to and from that trackpad in about 0.1s, and I can click on anything I want in less than half a second. "Rich intentions in a few keystrokes" doesn't sound competitive with that IMO.
You have to go well east of San Jose in order to find what I would call a “normal” city in the Bay Area.

I don't feel particularly bad for them, but certainly feel less bad for whiny billionaire CEOs.
I accepted lowest salary offer in my life a long while ago.

The employer was clearly lawballing me knowing my life situation.

I accepted and continued search.
In 2 weeks got an 2x - proper offer from another place.

The lowball company forgot to make me to sign an employment agreement stating 2 weeks advanced notice.

So I left the very next day after casual email resignation email to boss.

It was fun to listen to his nervous tirades about me needing to stay two weeks and just hanging up on him.

Karma knows it way back.

Sometimes it's ok to patch your life situation with what you've got - but always striving for more.
San Francisco != the whole of the Bay Area.

They’re right proper nutcase looney tunes in San Francisco, when it comes to new building. Almost as bad as they are here.

Well, that is unless you’re building high rises on the river for the millionaires and billionaires. Then you can build as many of those as you want.
Maybe you'd like 960 aka Fischer Random Chess, with 960 starting positions there's no opening theory to memorize, just principles and tactics from move one.

There's been a number of "anti-vim, use a real ide(TM)" posts coming into my feed lately and I don't get why. Do people really get buttmad about this?

I switched from vscode to vim as I found it to be largely much faster in getting around when I started my new job, some people find the opposite. A ok.

Why do people try to force us into these largely closed solutions? ( Mainly it's vscode, which has a real EEE threat)
The parent mentioned regulated professions, but there is a flurry of roles surrounding lawyers, nurses and accountants that don't require certification.

I'm from Michigan and lived in the Bay Area for a few years building an app and was just taking about the cultural differences today.

I think there's a tendency in SV startup culture to play up things whereas in Michigan there's almost a tendency to downplay things. So people there seemed to exaggerate how great something was that they did and I would tend to say something wasn't as great as it seemed to be. The stereotypically "I'm crushing it" "it was epic" etc.

I think there are challenges with both. With the overselling of how great something is, I think it can slip into just straight up lying when bad things happen. On the other side, underselling may also fall into lying but often about the good things that are happening.

So I read Zuckerberg's letter and much of his communication as so blatantly overselling that it bleeds into lies, which is illegal to do to some organizations. While many people oversell, I think as someone else mentioned, companies and CEOs are typically quite careful not to go too hard on overselling when in the court of law, and some either don't know how to turn it off or don't care or don't believe they should, or, as I've seen with some friends, don't seem to believe they are even doing it.
I don't really know anything about this stuff but after reading the blog post I feel like I understand. It's a good read.

Hi, thanks for confirming!

The issue reproduces in Chrome 94 but not current mac/Firefox, so I think it's new (though with now way to downgrade Chrome it's hard to be sure). Unfortunately I don't have a shareable URL that reproduces it, but if I can find one I'll file.
> Short-sightedness, selfishness, greed, and laziness are all easily handled by a functioning criminal justice system, and public education system.

You really think we can educate short-sightedness out of people? Or laziness? I think you're kidding yourself.

But more: You think "the haves" are greedy. But the haves usually got the good education. It didn't fix the problem.

And, even if the majority of people are in fact not greedy (or power hungry), it only takes a minority of greedy, power-hungry people to ruin things. Take the USSR. Those who were power-hungry and ruthless wound up in power. They produced what such people produce, no matter what the ideology and the rhetoric said.

If you're going to create an ideal system, you have to keep those people from ruining it. And the answer isn't to create a system powerful enough to keep those people in check, because those people will be drawn to the power they can have by running the system. Soon enough, they'll be in power - if not this generation, then the next.

Utopians always bank on the perfectibility of human nature. The available evidence is strongly against that view of humanity. And no, fixing the education system and the criminal justice system won't do it. They will help, and we should by all means pursue both fixes. But they won't let us build a utopia.
Even without covid it's hard. We're in an atomized society where everyone's earning to their ability and then consuming services/goods from global corps, it's hard to build community. I don't have an answer here.. maybe we need religion again minus the homophobia.
The Cortex-A53/A57 was the first core to implement it. And a Mali+Cortex-A53 vanilla SOC is the first implementation.

Then AppliedMicro had a hardware version to demo.

Apple simply had the first to market consumer product with one. Them buying up a good chunk of the fab space needed to produce them at the time probably contributed to that.

That was about as expected. Going to 128 cores for cache-resident compute workloads helps, it hurts for anything else. That is a seriously cache starved chip... only 16MB SLC?

Even with 1MB of L2... that's still a cache starved chip. The new iPhone has almost as much cache on it!

That said, I would absolutely love some sort of mid-range ARM desktop (that isn't Apple). There are the "small workstation" class ARM boxes (quite a few thousand dollars, 64 cores or so), there are the various small board ARM computers (4-6 cores, $100), and... there's really nothing in the middle.

Give me 4 X2 cores, a cluster of A74s clocked hard, and put it in a NUC type case with at least 16GB of RAM, preferably more, and some NVMe.
That's because this video is the sixth in the series. The first video goes into all those details.

The setup is meaningful to people who want to know how it was filmed. If you don't care for it you can always skip it. Why ask for the video to have less content that other people might want to watch just because you don't?

The loan will be cheap but not free. The problem with shares is that their price can go down to zero in case of company bankruptcy. So there will be premium for that risk.
I develop with emacs using my keyboard exclusively and I'm 100% convinced there is no appreciable benefit for doing so, it's pure personal preference. I remember seeing John Carmack express that didn't feel it was worth it to become a text editor power user, and he was getting numerous twitter replies insisting he was missing out on enormous productivity benefits. Imagine saying that to one of the most productive programmers of all time. It cracks me up every time I think about it.

> I think it would be extreme overreach to start trying to shut down youtube videos positing the earth is flat

I tend to agree. Demonetizing them and barring them from promoting any other products should be enough to discourage those crooks who don't believe themselves in flat Earth, but make videos, books and merchandise about it to cash on gullible users.
I'd happily race using vim against anyone using any pointer device. Your very fast 0.1s accumulates over the day, the week, the year. Versus never moving your hand away from the keyboard.
I suspect that maybe not many are coming from San Francisco itself, which is only a tiny part of the Bay Area. And maybe not that many are coming from the greater Bay Area. Maybe they’re coming from other parts of California that also has very high cost of housing, like LA.

I used vim as my primary editor for about 2 years. It was definitely the fastest way to edit text. However, editing text is pretty minor compared to time spent thinking. For me personally, I just find moded editing slightly grating. It would also be faster if I moved around at a break-neck sprint all of the time, but slightly tiresome and unpleasant. I had the same experience with vim. It was fast, tiresome, and unpleasant. Humans don't deal well with exceptions and moded interfaces. The background hum of hitting escape and confirming my mode or occasionally hitting keys in the wrong mode was just grating.
It's not, although Microsoft absolutely tries to make it much easier to write/deploy/maintain C# in an all-Azure tech stack. That's good or bad, depending on whether you have other reasons to be on Azure.

I'd say Visual Studio (not VSCode) is pretty much the only not-really-optional, not-really-free dependency. I suppose that means you also need to buy Windows.

Personally, while I use(d) C# for work and I think it comes with a solid toolchain and I have no big complaints, I have never chosen it when I could choose the stack from the beginning.

> The only people who give a shit about the Christian zealots are people hundreds of miles away outside the state

That seems untrue, given Texas' shift toward purple. Certainly wealthy people in Texas (regardless of their politics) aren't affected too much by who sits in the state house, but there are plenty of Democrats in Texas who aren't wealthy.

And just as a random example, I bet women who are looking to terminate unwanted pregnancies in Texas right now are probably sick of the Christian zealots.
It’s not inconceivable that they’ll follow their victims for a bit to make sure that the face recognition doesn’t have a glitch.

Apparently you can also recognize someone by the way they walk, so if you’ve recorded that before, getting them to run around for a bit provides an extra level of identification.

Yeah I got to 1650 rapid chess.com within 6 months (starting from basic knowledge of chess pieces moving). I was kinda told that 1800 rapid chess.com within a year of playing is kind of expected.

For people wondering, lichess inflates rating usually at lower level (since it starts at 1500 vs 1200 chess.com). Usually lichess ratings are inflated by 200-300 compared to chess.com which is a bit closer to FIDE ratings.

If you were comparing it to the Nnm figures, that actually checks out and is higher than I thought it would be. Nnm has been "feature size" not transistor size for eons now. It's the size of the smallest single shape the process node can do. So, like the width of a corner of a fin on a finfet.

The interesting thing is, the sprawl of Dallas and Houston have now started to work in their favor.

I live in Dallas. We're growing massively, but honestly, I haven't really noticed too many changes in my day to day. It takes just as long to get somewhere as it did 5 years ago.

Because they were large, spread out cities already, the highway infrastructure, suburban development, and local planning have all been optimized to support that reality. Austin tried to keep that smaller college-town feel, which was hip and trendy and cool for visitors like SXSW, but is now leading to the awful growing pains they face today.

I think Austin has the potential to be a really great city, but it's gonna take decades to get anywhere near that reality.

In the meantime, Houston is building another loop, Dallas is extending the DNT practically to Oklahoma, and Ft Worth has a shiny new tollroad on the west side of the city. They'll keep absorbing growth while Austin struggles to get organized. Unfortunately, many of the people flocking to Texas don't know any better so they go to Austin first.

My 2¢.

> Half the people in your family, aren't going to agree with the Texas government's views

You do realize that there are plenty of women in Texas (and elsewhere) who support curtailing access to (or even outright banning) abortion, right?

Edit: I didn't expect this number to be so high, but apparently 43% of women in the US identify as pro-life (https://news.gallup.com/poll/244709/pro-choice-pro-life-2018...).
> what (almost) killed Usenet was ISP's shutting down their NNTP servers. It used to be that every major ISP ran an NNTP server you could connect to

> [...]

> A big reason they stopped doing that was that most of the NNTP volume came to consist of copyright-infringing binaries.

Another reason was the deal that Andrew Cuomo (when he was the attorney general of New York) made with a number of major ISPs to prevent dissemination of child pornography. That lead to a lot of them discontinuing their Usenet service.

> There is little economic incentive for anyone to provide a free Usenet server, because there is no revenue.

It could be done using a web portal like they do for free email service, but it would be cumbersome to use.

> Before BitTorrent, people posted binaries as multi-part MIME or uuencode jobs to Usenet, believe it or not, using multiple articles.

They still do, but they use a more efficient encoding scheme called yEnc, which only has a few percent overhead in terms of attachment size, unlike base64 which has a 33% overhead.

> It would be nice for Usenet to come back without the alt.binaries.* cruft

I've always wondered why feeds couldn't be configured to exclude alt.binaries.*. Was it due to peering arrangements with other servers?
This machine at my desk is already emulating a Sparcstation 5, a Mac Pro and a Windows 2019 machine. I might give this a crack just so I have an excuse to try to get one of the 3270 terminal emulators running. Like x3270 or one of those things that used to float around. I assume you need to emulate a terminal concentrator somehow along with the mainframe itself?
If I'm being as charitable as I possibly can with the author's arguments I could admit that maybe coding with a secondary monitor is a preference that I could quickly unlearn

But that is not the only work I do. Multiple monitors allow me to have several plots in front of me; or a dashboard and the raw data it aggregates; or two versions of a powepoint deck of slides; or...

I think this discussion is kinda empty. If single monitor was easily a best-tool most people would not go through the cost and trouble to set up a multi monitor desk a second time.

I also find it weird that someone would "preach" about it strongly. It's a subject that virtually every person has experience in - and therefore access to the testimony of eveyone they know on the matter, because they are also familiar with it
That's a big "if". Building wider highways seems to just attract more people to drive on them.
Its not even true, last weekend I went to a watercolor painting show featuring international artists. Been going out for dinner (not much of a drinker), the late night "downtown" area in my town is fully open. Tourists were back during summer. Activities are all back to normal. Concerts are going on, I went to one a couple weeks ago. There is one I really want to go to in the bay area too :( but no time.

Just clueless people on the internet that don't know what they're talking about. Probably because there is nothing else to do in texas besides be mad about things lol.
Copyright is only with respect to the code.

What's being done here is changes to how the project is managed. Basically inserting an upper management over the heads of existing maintainers. AFAIK, this right was not given (or at least the maintainers did not intend to give) to the umbrella org.
I'll reply, but probably not how you want.

I've always been a smart guy at a lot of things, especially math, who never had to try that hard in school.

I went to exactly one chess club meeting in high school, as I knew how to play and wanted to learn more. I was defeated in a few moves by a kid who not only laughed at me, but told his friends about whatever rush I just fell for and they all had a good laugh.

As you may imagine, I never went to another meeting.

Years later I came across Yahoo Chess, and thought I'd give that a try. I was beat by someone from Syria who used his victory to explain to me why Americans are so stupid and cocky.

I learned two things about chess -

1) It's not about being gifted or smart, it takes a lot of work and practice.

2) The community can be toxic as hell, so have thick skin. Or don't, I don't even play anymore. Two games were enough to teach me I don't want anything to do with that club.
> I suspect this was more of a "can we make this process easier and more convenient for the .NET Foundation"-type thing.

I suspect there was also just a different picture on what the .NET Foundation even meant inside and outside of MS. It's different people working on it inside MS than the ones who originally set things up, and the new people may not have even seen their actions as trying to take control of anything because they were under the impression that everyone considered them in charge already.
On the original network - about an hour and a half and ~$9. On the lightning network (layer 2) it would be about $0.09 and take less than a minute.
Housing cost imbalances are temporary. California migrants to the Portland and Seattle areas are already learning this. So, the real estate arbitrage of taking Bay Area profits and dumping them into Austin houses will be brief, painful, and the market will respond accordingly.
And everyone thinks Apple is doing it to benefit people in Detroit, meanwhile they have no idea they're the ones being exploited.

Not that different from the commute that Apple employees I knew were making. They spent 30 minutes commuting to where they would pick up the shuttle, three or so hours on the shuttle, get off the shuttle and have lunch at Caffe Macs, maybe take a meeting, then get back on the shuttle for their ride home.

The shuttles had Wi-Fi, so they could get all their regular work done while on the shuttle. That was functionally their office, even though they had a desk in the building on Bubb Road.

And they were getting paid well over $150k, and living in group homes east of San Jose, because that’s all they could afford to live in.
