From a cursory look the linked page covers a broad range of subjects necessary to understand the last 65 years of AI research, not just the 9 years since the deep learning boom that most people are familiar with.

That you know many graduate students with published papers in major conferences in machine learning who don't have a background in AI is ...unfortunate? I guess?

I'm an author of the Pilot paper (and also a participant in the much earlier capability-oriented CAL TSS for the Control Data 6400: https://www.mcjones.org/CalTSS/). Pilot was a long time ago, but as I recall its capabilities were just Mesa records with some "option" bits plus a unique identifier for the file. So a malicious program could easily fabricate one.
Note that Grant Avery, a fictional character in my book [1] about the Xerox Star, is a manager of Pilot for six months or so. He was very old-school and didn't last. There was a real person like that, but Grant's not modeled after him.

It's amusing that Grant asks the team "will third-party software be able to run on Pilot?" Dave Redell tells me that no one ever asked that, as far as he can recall.

Nearly all the authors are still around, except for Steve Purcell who was killed in a bike accident quite recently.

Also, my book avoids hindsight, but [1] has a section "So what should Xerox have done?"

> The intent of the H-1B provisions is to help employers who cannot otherwise obtain needed business skills and abilities from the U.S. workforce by authorizing the temporary employment of qualified individuals

Large tech companies employ millions, they can't all be the best. Tech workers aren't special, they're fungible. The H1B program exists for temporary shortages but has been abused as an immigration program which it was never designed for.

I'm fine with a fee based program but make it $1M. $10k is peanuts. If they're as special as the companies claim then they'll be happy to pay it.

Question: if I sell my old Visio TV that violates the GPL, am I now also in violation of the license since I’m redistributing it?
I'm currently searching for good math resources.

Also, finding a good amount of exercise tasks to work through isn't so easy.
An NDA would be a civil matter, I would think. It is a remedy for monetary damages, right?

Of course I have no idea if offering someone a large sum of money to violate any kind of contract is in any way illegal or even actionable in civil law since the person can always refuse the money and uphold their contract. If it made you criminally liable, wouldn’t every job offer to someone under contract with a competitor lend you in jail?

IANAL so offer money to break NDAs at your own risk.
Insolvent literally means liabilities exceed assets. There are various ways a company can trade while insolvent, including being a Ponzi scheme.
> Unfortunately, immigration law seems to be written by people who had no familiarity with how modern large software engineering companies operate.

Not really sure with how requiring "modern large software engineering companies" to hire qualified US citizens before hiring foreigners is somehow a burden to said companies. How is it harder to skip the H-1B process than to hire one of the US citizens?

> Tech companies are essentially forced to make up "positions" for the purposes of immigration law.

If you don't have positions, why are you hiring? They aren't sitting around twiddling their thumbs just collecting a paycheck, are they? If you don't know where the H-1Bs are going to be, how do you know a US citizen is not qualified for the position the H-1B ends up in?

> There is just no way to make a company "first consider US citizens for every open job" when you don't hire one person at a time for separate jobs. What does that even mean when you are trying to hire 100 people a week, and you just want to hire the 100 best people you can find every week?

Um, you hire the best 100 US citizens and forget the H-1B process? Is it really that difficult? If you have a specific position which you can't seem to fill, train someone? Still can't fill it, then go through H-1B? How/why is hiring via H-1B the default? That is the baffling thing.

> This law fundamentally has an incoherent goal.

Really? It seems pretty clear the intention is to force companies to hire US citizens when there is someone which can fill the position. When the position is "best people you can find", how can you argue a US citizen does not fulfill the requirements?
If people would accept the elegance of COBOL and stop demanding eye candy the world would be a more efficient place. Dev stack churn and application rewrites in stacks which frequently change account for substantial waste.
Two comments:

I think there's a bit of "words for the sake of words" in the formal. I don't necessarily equate formal with verbose or trying to use big words.

[Casual] What do guys do to show that they like a gal?

[Formal] What do guys do to demonstrate their affinity for women?

Other than "a gal -> a woman" this is just adding pretension. (And on second reading I realize that somehow "guys" is not modified to men but gal is to woman)

2. I can see an application for this concept as a way to make writing clearer and less pretentious (not less formal).

For example, in English, Germanic words often sound less fancy than their latin equivalents [0]. That, combined with sentence construction (not-unpleased, clause order, etc) one could have something to reign what we learned in high school english.

calendly and savvycal are mainly calendar apps and work well for the scheduling use case only. However, this is only one use case that a global clock can be used for. Another use case that those apps don't solve is global events e.g. SpaceX launching a rocket at 11am ET, or the Apple event yesterday at 10am PDT. If I don't live in those time zones, I don't know when those events are going to take place in my time. Thus the idea of eliminating time zones and replacing that with a global clock would solve many more use cases than scheduling.

There is no need to store datetime or locale for the clock to work. The clock knows where you are, using your sys time, or GPS, and according to that it rotates the UTC layer that is represented in letters according to you location. This means the clock adjusts itself for you in order to give the right local-global (UTC) time mapping. And that's all done by the clock's algorithm that manages the rotation. The main reason I'm using letters instead of numbers for UTC is to distinguish between local and global hours, simply for better communication.

That's how it works :)

> it created situation it was easy for a lot of people to just quit driving and hard to find more drivers to replace them

That situation seems pretty exceptional to me. I think it's fair to call an equilibrium that requires a covid pandemic to disrupt "stable." I think you'd be hard pressed to find an industry that hasn't been disrupted, so I am skeptical that we should understand trucking to be revealed as being unusually weak.

If you just mean that capitalism is inherently unstable, then yes of course, but that doesn't seem closely related to the space for rule breaking as the space varies from place to place and industry to industry.

Pick any of the already existing stable coins. We don't even need new technology to replace Tether. We just need international exchanges to support existing stables.

"The area to the north of Ellesmere Island and Greenland contains the Arctic's thickest ice and it is predicted to be the last to lose its perennial ice, thus providing an important refuge for ice-dependent species. There is however evidence that this Last Ice Area is, like the entire Arctic, undergoing rapid changes that may reduce its suitability as a refuge."
Sad to hear it's still a problem. I had Android for a while, but device upgrades instead of being exciting, were a thing I most dreaded.

Upgrading Android phones, even with their supposedly new migration assistant via cables, still kept losing most of my apps' device-local data and settings, as if Google didn't care about anything that isn't on their servers.
Would you pay $1m for information that could let you profit 10x or even 100x?
I'm not sure how app authors shorten the life. If the app author only targets a new version of the os, then if the phone gets the new OS then all I good. So it is up too the vendor providing the new os, but the app provider.
Now, the app provider can do supporting old OSes but that won't shorten the time past what the vendor sets

Traditional db def wont be faster than Redis. (at least not in my experience)

But what I'm saying is traditional db also often won't be meaningfully slower than Redis either, even for key -> value lookup where Redis shines.

Overwhelmingly, when I need to store and retrieve anything, I reach for traditional dbs first by default, unless there's good reason to use some other technology. If and when load starts to become a problem, tweaking the settings, adding more read replicas etc is often enough. But if it's not, it's always perfectly possible and simple enough to add Redis on top. I feel like that gives you the most bang for your buck and the best of both worlds. But YMMV!

Yes that is the basic structure of all crypto loans, I'm just describing a mechanism by which you could short Tether. I get what you mean that if Tether collapses, crypto assets like ETH, BTC would crash too. But you could short Tether against USDC w/ USDC as collateral too. I can definitely envision a scenario where USDC holds relatively stable even if USDT crashes.

Nearly all of the smart contract loans are over collateralized, so collateral > borrow isn't too hard to achieve...but yes, probably only likely in crash if collateral is another stable that holds peg.

Just to be clear, I think shorting Tether is a bad idea lol

That’s never been true for packages. Just because someone else did it doesn’t mean you can’t do it better. The goal in the last few years has been to make it possible for anyone to write a build system or tooling, just like any other library in Python. Otherwise there is no innovation.

The Dawn of Cybernetic Civilization
Frameworks that work — or at least seem to (imo):

• Tokio, Glommio (Rust)

• Seastar (C++)

• React, Node, Angular, etc. (all JS)

• Django, AIOHTTP (Python)

Each of which seems to be its own "hammer" for various problems. Yet each is also a kind of "factory" to make specialized "hammers," if you will.

ex: Seastar is a shared-nothing, highly distributed, highly async framework upon which folks have built a database (Scylla — disclosure, my employer), but also a streaming data platform (Redpanda), and a storage platform (Ceph's replacement, Crimson).

So maybe the one option the author left out is "a factory-building hammer."
