I also suspect there's another MAJOR upside to cameraderie:
cooperation rather than competition.

A huge factor with academics, and with anyone in high-skill professions (critically those where your boss does not know how to do your job) is that in a lot of job situations, one has to perform their actual job functions, and then, separately, one has to perform (literally) a PR show for their managers, putting on an outward display of competence. Managers can measure competence up to the point of obvious failure, but once you get above that it gets FAR harder to tell if someone's good, and the whole affair becomes susceptible to "con men". You see this with professors, you see this with engineers, with doctors, sometimes with lawyers, etc, etc.

So even if you're acting in good faith, you need to put on a theater act of being skilled at your job.

Here's the thing: It's a million times easier if all of your teammates are supporting you. If you're in a cooperative relationship with your teammates, then your teammates can "allow you to admit your mistakes". Quietly amongst your peers, in a way that doesn't hurt your chances of promotion. But the important thing is the mistakes get exposed AND FIXED. Also - the confidence intervals get exposed, and guarded against.

In an adversarial relationship (which you see in more zero-sum games like professors fighting over tenure), people have to hide their incompetence, and the horrible, dangerous thing is:

—they get away with it—

… because the time-scales are long, and the confidence intervals are high enough that it's a reasonably safe bet. They might have a 1-in-5 chance of having it blow up on them, but if they talk a big game, exude confidence, push a risky bet, and have it work out, they could easily become a team lead, and basically seal their career. Life is short and lots of people take those risks.

Being cooperative simply boosts competence; not merely as a team, but as an individual. Since they don't need to pretend they're always making the right choices, people don't have to double-down on "inferior choices" to avoid pretending they're wrong. They can just shamelessly change their minds and pivot to being more correct.
> Almost none of the XMPP clients use plain text connection nowadays.

Everything shown in the article works with or without TLS enabled. It doesn't matter. The server-side party sees cleartext XMPP packets passing the server.

> all their tcpdump tricks fail

There are no "tricks" in the article. It is just capturing network traffic. The point here is that XMPP traffic isn't magically invisible to third parties that observe the network traffic as some people claim.
My personal favorite is Xiaomi with their IOT everyday appliances. Huawei is still doing good inside the consumer space though hurt badly by the US sanctions. Plus lots of smaller companies.
> My M1 Macbook Air blows my 16"

That is the issue though. Intel macbooks were notoriously badly cooled. That hurts the performance a lot. If all you have used is that, of course you find the new one a lot better. However, compared to any other high end Intel/AMD laptop, you would not perceive this much difference in speed.

Pick up a Macbook 16 and XPS 15 from 2019 with the same specs (CPU/RAM) and the XPS absolutely runs circles around the macbook when it comes to general responsiveness in UI. All because of cooling.
I spend most of my time in JetBrains' IDEs and never have to use the mouse, it's fully keyboard-driven. While there's no direct alternative to ci(, you can select everything inside the brackets with a single key press and then start typing. Unlike text editors (like vim), it actually understands your code and lets you operate on the underlying AST (for example, you can move code blocks, expressions, or whole functions around with a single key combo). So for me vim seems like a downgrade.
Could you elaborate on the service discovery part? If you're in kubernetes, you have kube-dns which in effect is service discovery right? What does consul provide over this?
>It's actually misleading to compare apples and oranges like this.

I never make the claim it scale linearly. And I have been very explicit in the node simply because I expect technical reader should know it doesn't scale linearly ( may be I should have wrote it down just in case ) and as I wrote in my another reply you cant even use the TSMC N5 and scale to 5+Ghz. It is not optimised nor tested for that clock speed.

To make the comparison on a low power node, Alderlake using 5W at 3.2Ghz, and scale linearly with GB5 score, it would get a result of 1140. On the same power, M1 is able to score 50% higher. Or 50% increase in IPC.

But that comparison in my view is unfair if not truly misleading. Because there are a lot of assumption involved, from scaling to design and performance characteristics. Where as the previous comparison was done with two actual product based on facts, and you should draw your own conclusion within the context.
lost many jobs this way as well.

What do you mean?
The reality is that in software, relative to the vast armada of the patent thicket that could be employed against you, a single patent affords little protection.

It's not as easy to understand as I'd like. Is the issue noise? Maybe, hard to tell? If it's not noise, a ban in parks seems very excessive. If it is noise, why is there no threshold you could try to be under?
The regular M1 uses far less peak power than the M1 Pro/Max. They’re definitely still far more efficient than competitors though.
Just to say more on this quickly, the relevant inquiry is not "does software progress without patents, yes or no?" Obviously it would. But the relevant inquiry is whether we have made more or less progress now than we would have had software patents not existed for the last 70 years.

For what it's worth, I tend to agree with the ultimate conclusion that software patents today do more harm than good. But if you want to convince policy makers, you have to address the issue on a less superficial level. And that means actually acknowledging the other side's arguments and rebutting them with evidence or counterarguments.
You think

‘const [count, setCount] = useState()’

is normal javascript? It runs completely counter to the way functions and variables normally work, using some global store behind your back.

The idea that react is “just javascript” has gone out the window with hooks.
Because it's nonsense gibberish that won't help you. You can completely lie to a recruiter about your motives if you want. Revealing personal information isn't required, but presenting yourself as hirable is.

It's not some psychological battle of wits with the recruiter you're up against, they don't have ulterior motives, they seldom have any allegiances and companies generally don't have allegiances to them either unless contracts are in place. As a career path they also seem to burn out quickly and there's a ton of them vying for the same jobs. They get commissions by placing candidates that stick around for 90/180/365 days. That's all they really care about and treating them as an adversary means you're bad commission fodder. Instead try to learn how to help each other and you can both profit off of the situation. Or just don't talk to recruiters, seems pretty straightforward.

This is my favourite theory and I liken it to this for those who have driven alot.

The first trip on a new road or a road not travelled for a very long time always feels like it takes the longest. The more you travel that same road often the faster the journey feels. At least to a certain point.

People of color are more likely to be called that slur, and you are their “operator”? I talked to my BIPOC friends and they think that’s incredibly racist. They say you are dehumanizing them and are clearly a white supremacist who celebrates operating POC. They are experiencing trauma right now given the outright violence of your name.
Maybe folks have answers to these concerns, but every time I’ve seen that Stallmanesque messaging over the past 20/25 years or so, I have the same doubts. (And I have a full time job making FOSS at a university all day.)

From a US perspective, I’d more likely agree if we were even sorta good at handling displaced or obsoleted workers. Abolishing software patents without making a bunch of other changes would be a giant hit to the American economy and kill many productive worker’s livelihoods with no follow-up. It’s wrong to do to folks driving truck and it’s wrong to do to commercial software developers and all the other folks who make their living in that industry. Beyond that, lots of technically boring, unsexy software is super important to the world, and the open source alternatives prove that folks just don’t want to work on those problems for free, especially when there are demanding/intricate/fussy interface requirements. The number of instances in which FOSS properly catered to non-technical users with advanced use cases while delivering fantastic usability is pretty low from what I gather. For example, with the art software I work with professionally, Blender’s comparatively recent changes got them there to some extent, but anyone who thinks gimp is a usable replacement for photoshop hasn’t used either enough to make that judgement. People might even get mad you intimating there’s something to fix. Big corps like IBM won’t pay people to write FOSS all day unless there’s a financial incentive. I can picture all enterprise software now being so complicated and convoluted to install that procuring expensive services is the only way to use it. Or maybe requiring custom hardware to perform necessary parts of a process. Maybe even abandoning software altogether and making things mechanical again? Not that computing is perfectly green, but how would that work out for the environment?

I’d love to get pushback on any of this if folks have thoughts. Personally I’d love to see a world where intellectual property just wasn’t a thing… but we don’t live in that world and intellectual property laws are not the biggest barrier to achieving it. It just seems like a super naive demand that assumes software operates in a vacuum and that parity between commercial and open source offerings is even possible in our economic system.

Let's be realistic: those specs are more in the realm of professional photographers/videographers. For most people, a DJI mini 2 is far more than sufficient(which is what I have and just came back from shooting a few pictures and videos actually). Even a small one like this punches way above it's weight category, literally and figuratively.
Are you comparing Windows vs Mac? If so I think that might have even more to do with perf than the hardware. I'm sure the overwhelming majority of Unity developers use it on Windows, and so it probably gets more love from Unity as a result.
Actually this and other achievements really impress me, and Russia's computer program of course collapsed with the economy and everything else in 1990, which showed the evils of unrestricted capitalism.
Yeah sorry about the initial version of handwriting, we thought we could do a quick hack and use the multi point line rendering for it but it didn’t work well in practice.

Like elsewhere [1], this thread's context was discussing the usefulness of all patents, and you are talking about software patents. I gather most people in this forum agree that software patents are no good.

It's a plug for my vi quickstart tutorial that I first wrote for two Windows sysadmin friends of mine. They had been asked to additionally manage a few Unix boxes, and had asked me to make a small tutorial that could help them quickly learn enough vi to get by on Unix.
After using it, they told me it was helpful for that purpose.
20 years can be a long time.

The corruption problem is the same one a with NIH grants and everything else, it's just doing it after the fact in exchange for the patent. You try to minimize the inefficiency as best you can, but even when it's not zero it can still be smaller than the inefficiency from waiting for the patent to expire.
You may have dropped a couple of zeroes there.

It's just folks punching up. The vast majority of the US is zoned for the car. It's really difficult to find a place that allows a car-free or even a low-car lifestyle. People would react a lot differently if there actually were multiple cities that allowed these lifestyles.

It would have taken a little over an hour to walk home and I would have had walking/biking paths and sidewalks most of the way. Close to where I live I would have had to walk on the side of the road but it was very low traffic
It's an interesting idea but would probably have harmful second order effects — a government sanctioned patent gold rush.

Abolishing the root cause would be better. And if this was done, then yes, government buyouts and release of existing patents would be fantastic, where the release would spur growth.
Have we not printed 1-3 trillion dollars in the last two years? Like, a substantial proportion of all circulating dollars? How does that not immediately devalue the dollar?
Almost all the references from point to articles written by Chinese scientists in the last year. Color me skeptical.

Who among the proponents of the lab leak theory claim that the virus doesn't occur in nature? Nobody I am aware of. Perhaps the kooks who claim covid was completely manmade as a bioweapon or something.

There is no transparency on this issue with China. There's a reason why there is a dearth of evidence- it's all been suppressed or destroyed.
What did? Viruses escaping a lab, or a gene-free virus infecting a cell and causing it to make more of that virus?

I don't think the latter has happened. If I really stretch, maybe something could trigger a reactivation of a virus that's burned into your DNA? But that can't give you a new virus, and such a reactivation could happen on its own without help.

Or if you were implying something about the origin of viruses, I disagree and don't think the mechanism we're talking about was part of that story.
It is not an "HN thing". These machines are damn fast in day to day use. Absolutely zero heat, zero usage of fans and incredible battery life too. I see a lot of hype and fanboys around here regarding certain techs, but these machines are objectively on a whole different league.
Is there is a patent for the government to have to buy? If they get to keep the patent unless the government is willing to pay the market price, you have a patent system. If not, they're doing research on faith that some unspecified money might possibly fall from the sky.

Also, now there is only one buyer. Say six different companies all develop working vaccines. Is the government going to buy all of them? What about the tenth or hundredth? If not, what happens to the company that spent a billion dollars developing a working vaccine, only to have someone else beat them to the prize by a few days?

And vaccines are something we know ahead of time that we want. How do you do a prize for inventing something you don't know you want because it doesn't exist yet?

A book is a sequence of characters c_1,...,c_n where each c_1 comes from a finite set.

The set of all books is definitely countable.

True.

But USPTO won't give a shit. Go ahead and compute some Goedelian encoding of your program, file it, and let me know how that goes. You have to convey useful information about how the program behaves.

I mean at the end of the day a book is just a shitload of bits you're streaming to some printer.
In their defense this field of study moves incredibly fast—there are hundreds of papers published every week. It would be a full-time job to simply keep up-to-date with the literature, to say nothing of doing your own research, so it’s hardly surprising the authors might not mention a given paper.
Not necessarily. It's not immediately intuitive is all.

For example, maybe krill do a poor job recovering nutrients from dead krill, while they do great job of it with whale waste. In this case, whales would keep the overall amount of nutrients available to krill high while also consuming them.

Who knows what's actually going on here, but it's really not difficult for these sorts of highly interrelated systems to end up with counterintuitive dynamics.

I would abolish copyright as well as patents (all copyright and patents, not only software patents). Someone might publish something or keep it a secret, but that shouldn't stop anyone else from doing it independently, either by themself or by reverse engineering an existing work.

I had the idea of a license (not yet written) which allows free use like it is in the public domain, and cannot be sued/arrested for copyright violation or for anti-circumvention or other things like that, and no attribution or copyright notice is required, but derivative works etc must be licensed by either the same license or GNU GPL 3 or GNU AGPL 3 or CC-BY-SA 4.0 (only) or later versions of GNU GPL or AGPL. These rights will then apply to patents as well as copyrights (so you can't patent a derivative work either). Someone can claim otherwise but then their claim is invalid, and only in this circumstance can you countersue. It is supposed to be effectively the same if the copyright and patent laws were abolished; if those laws are abolished the only difference is that relicensing them by the other license will not be possible, but the other rights are supposed to be the same. (The reason the limited relicensing is allowed is to be practical.)

Abolishing software patents may be a good start, though. Another alternative would be the law to be made unenforceable against FOSS (although there are probably too many difficulties in doing this properly). However, this would not be as good as just abolishing patents entirely.

When patents are used, they have the effect of making innovation twenty years behind. When used incorrectly, they are even worse.
