> what would that new, optimized protocol look like?

Exactly like PCIe 6.0, but with a slightly simpler negotiation process and none of the fallback modes.

> How much more performant could it be relative to PCIe?

It would have the same performance, but be slightly cheaper to implement.

When two PCIe devices are connected to each other, they don't start in any data transfer mode, they start in a complex autonegotiation mode [0], where they find out the width of the link, the maximum protocol version that each side support, and the maximum speed that the connection between them can support. They were forward-thinking enought to make sure that this process can support pretty much any kind of protocol that does packet switching over LVDS signaling. Since packet switching over LVDS is still the best game in town, they are not overly burdened by backwards compatibility, other than having to also carry all the previous versions with them in the interface controllers. 6.0 changed to a completely different kind of packet system to support FEC, and no-one other than the implementors of the interface controllers have to care.

Because PCIe is so flexible, it won't be unseated until there is some radically new kind of signaling that is better than LVDS on copper, say some kind of optical link. And even then, the successor is almost certain to be a variant of PCIe, just with a new physical layer.

I don't know how representative this clip is. And I do not have a high opinion of Sen. Paul whatsoever. But in my opinion Sen. Paul is handing out verifiable¹ assertions and Fauci is not addressing those in any meaningful way. He's just responding with a general defense like "you are always doing this", "you're giving no evidence", "all you do is attack me personally" etc.

Also from observing Fauci's attitude I have to say I also get the impression that he considers himself as exceptionally representing science. Plus, many inconsistencies regarding financing of the Wuhan lab and whether or not lab origin is realistic or just a "conspiracy theory".

1: verifiable in the sense that Fauci could say "yes your quote is true but ..." or "no I never wrote this".
No there isn't. The studies touted have serious issues, but because they align to 'consensus' nobody checks, not daring be called some misinformation agent or 'anti-vaxxer.'

They knew this after sars. It's not hard to find the evidence from after then.

It's just a nice visual way to make people feel safer against the thing they're told to fear.

No I have definitely seen people with fancy titles around data security and now also GDPR 'specialists/consultants', who lack the most basic CS knowledge, sometimes coming from other fields like business and administration.

People will chase opportunities wherever they find them, if you have a good network and managers who are as clueless as you then you can absolutely fake it till you sort of make it (in large enough corps).

Reminds me of CoffeeScript, and look where that went.
> For one Julia needs an humongous runtime.

To be fair, Julia needs that runtime precisely to generate compiled versions of polymorphic functions at run time, so as not to cause a combinatorial explosion of n-ary functions. Also, for interactivity, which includes adding new functions at run time. These are problems that Fortran isn't even trying to solve, so it's not quite fair to complain that Fortran doesn't require a runtime that solves them. But of course there seems to be a market for a way to generate a static binary for a Julia program under a closed world assumption that wouldn't require embedding a complete JIT compiler into the process.
Typescript is a good compromise between practical and featureful. It's like JS/Node with a lot of bubblegum to fix the leaks.

> I guess I'll never get a job coding due to ageism

I wouldn't assume that. Demand for coders with experience is through the roof at the moment, and from what I can tell the ageism issue is less severe in the UK than it is in the US.

I can see your conviction being an issue for data science jobs as such a job inherently requires trusting you to have access to the data. But perhaps you could find a job that's working on public datasets? Perhaps it would be worth considering trying to find a government / civil service job? They will have lots of public data, and probably have good non-discrimination policies too.
It doesn't have an open API which would mean I could build a service that searches google and then takes those results and merges my own information and present that to the user on a website.

Well, there could have been a third route - Buy out the entire supply, then announce that masks help, but they do the most good on the faces of doctors and nurses so the supply of N95 masks has been reserved for them by the government; and those who can sew their own cloth masks are encouraged to do so.

The decisions were made in a hurry, and our politicians aren't doctors or scientists, so some mistakes are to be expected. But there's no denying the early stop-buying-masks announcements were a mistake IMHO.
To be fair, that's not an unreasonable concern for them to have. Masks running out for healthcare professionals would have been an absolute disaster.

I'd argue that while their current offering might be better (and I don't think it is), Microsoft has historically definitely done an even worse job than Google. And that's pretty difficult.

Around 2008, Microsoft had a huge advantage in messaging compared to whoever came next. MSN was widely used in much of the world, on every continent, and the product was far ahead of its time. Maybe not as dominant in the US, but the US has always been weird about messaging and still is. Video calls, group chats, chatbots for companies, they had everything. They were set up for success.

> In June 2009, Microsoft reported the service attracted over 330 million active users each month, placing it among the most widely used instant-messaging clients in the world

330 million, now that was a big number in 2009. Competition? Blackberry Messenger for a while, but that was never going to last with the lock-in. Facebook Messaging was getting popular but that too was (and is) very barebones.

What do they do with this golden egg? They kill it and force people over to.. Skype, an (especially at the time) poor piece of software with maybe 10% of the functionality that MSN had (which did audio/video calls just fine) and they wasted billions on acquiring. If they'd have kept developing it and made quality messaging apps for all mobile platforms, I don't see how Whatsapp would've stood a chance.

Google at least never was in that position. They were late to the game, only needing to start caring about messaging after buying Android and it becoming a success. Microsoft had 330 million people actively messaging in 2009! Did Hangouts even have 330 million active(!) users in 2020?

Teams is still stunningly poor. We use it at work and the Windows (hah, how's that for integration) version is so poor that a lot of us run it in the browser, where it runs marginally better. Images not loading, pasting a file or image not properly working, slow as molasses, far too limited settings to filter notifications.
Indeed. This bit: "... now a 2 year old baby can make something shiny that you can click on with your mouse." is actually true and a good thing.
It's not a long stretch to question if anything the CDC recommends actually comes from caring for public health at all rather than private interests.

The US is becoming more and more the outlier in over-hyped fear and infantalism vs a world moving on.

Sorry, I don't believe this story at all. I believe this is a story people tell themselves to feel better about "the others".

The whole analytic lens of white people against minorities is purely made up in my opinion and I have seen no evidence to the contrary. On the other side justification was made up for real institutional discrimination against white people with the same lies that spawned accusations like this. But that wasn't to combat racism, it was to satisfy egoistical vanity and weak characters.

I belong to a minority and I feel pressured to state this whenever I engage with people that bring forward such ideas and that is not a mistake.

Back to reality: People never cared much about race. There are some exceptions to this and there is still prejudice against certain minorities. But I firmly believe your characterization doesn't understand the perspective of Trump supporters very well.

They have training centers for this now? I'm genuinely horrified. I'm aware there are different meanings to "sleep training" depending on who talks about it, but the way you imply they use the term ("stop going to them", i.e. let them cry it out) it's just a cutesy way to say "neglect".

There's a reason parents pick up this version (i.e. the "let them cry it out" version, not the "create a safe and comfortable environment to allow them to self-regulate when they wake up" one) of so-called sleep training from books, "experts" and now apparently also training centers, whereas co-sleeping needs to be actively discouraged to stop parents from doing it intuitively.

I'm not saying every parent who doesn't co-sleep with their child is engaging in child abuse, but many mainstream forms of "sleep training" (especially the informal ones) very much boil down to "neglect your infant until they learn not to broadcast their needs because nobody will take care of them".

I'm also not saying that OP's account is representative of all co-sleeping parents. Co-sleeping (with breast-feeding) simply allows for reducing interruptions from nightly feeding in a way that is hardly replicable without it.
I think that's largely true of cloth masks, but well fitted N95 (or similar) masks also protect the wearer.

And what makes you so sure that climatologists have way higher standards than virologists? Clearly, the institutions themselves are not enforcing even the most basic standards of integrity on scientists because they've been fighting the release of these emails for two years.

The fact that you dislike the Telegraph because it's conservative is irrelevant. The evidence here is absolute proof that scientists, as a group, systematically lied to and manipulated both the public and governments for two years. Their goal was simply to ensure people didn't stop blindly trusting them, which might cause them to lose funding and power. There was no higher purpose yet nobody in the field of virology stepped up and pointed this out publicly. Many of them knew and were saying so in private emails, but - and this is critical - none of them spoke out. Not one.

Climatology is in reality not better. The ClimateGate emails have largely been forgotten now but it was also very clear in those that they were manipulating the peer review process, manipulating the temperature records and more in order to get the outcomes they wanted. They admitted it quite openly, at the time even Guardian writers like Monbiot were shocked by it.

Over the years, I've had direct knowledge of or involvement with maybe a dozen or so events that have ended up in the mainstream news. And in almost every case it has been inaccurate in some way, sometimes getting basic facts wrong and others having significant bias or spin that was misleading.

Erkich's own words, both his original paper and his website, acknowledge the lack of a distinct name. He suggested generic terms "watch" and "watching" may have been used throughout a long period of British history to describe the hypothesised universal period of wakefulness based on one primary source each. One appears to be a prayer which refers to "between one morning watch and another" without hinting what a "morning watch" is, another is a devotional text calling on people to watch their first waking thoughts are set on God, where there are rather obvious alternative interpretations of the words "watch" and "first"...

The notion of "witching hour" is predicated on the idea that spirit activity takes place when most people are asleep, and "the wee small hours" is a reference to the entire period between midnight and dawn. If the closest word a language had to "lunch" was "afternoon", I'd probably conclude that culture generally didn't have an important midday meal!

Most retail has pretty low margins because you would go out of business pretty quickly otherwise. It's pretty easy to setup a storefront and buy goods from a distributor, low barrier to entry means you can't charge high prices because it's easy to undercut you. Setting up a datacenter or building a competing OS is really difficult and expensive. High barrier to entry gives you high margins because it's difficult to undercut you.
> I've managed to avoid the coronavirus for 2 years now and as far as I can tell the future still has me getting COVID in it. I'm still not clear what role the mask is meant to play in that forecast.

To provide a counterpoint: I went the Georgia Tech online MS route and my ML finals coincided with my father’s funeral. I logged-in a few days before to take the final and it was buggy as hell, but my timer (24hrs) kept going. I emailed and slacked the TAs and professors with screenshots, but no one answered. The professor was known for being unsympathetic, so I logged in to see if it worked the morning of my fathers funeral, the last day to take the final. I banged out the final with the last 2 hours remaining on my timer.

In this case they unfortunately did act as a completely homogenous group.
