Looks like a great platform but you can't have it as a daily driver if you use anything that depends on amd64 from what I have been able to find out.
Well, what are you going to do. Not use Windows?

Linux still barely works in 2022 (and if one distro will become really popular, with a big investment of money like Ubuntu did once, they will ad ads, like Ubuntu added Amazon), and MacOS works just on Apple HW (and has ads for Apple services baked-in too, just less obnoxious).

You can use ChromeOS! Which is literally ad tech.

Pick your poison.
Some states allow for community net metering, where your neighborhood goes in on some solar/batteries, and the production counts toward everyone's bill.

This is great for apartment dwellers / condos / low income areas, because you can structure the finances of the initial investment to look a lot like having the individual/business installing the equipment being paid retail for the surplus power.
That's a great calling. I wish your ministry great success.
I learned about this in the negotiation course [0] by Prof. George Siedel.

It is also called as BATNA - Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA). This is evaluating what is your best alternative if the deal does not get through. In a negotiation, you would want to strengthen your BATNA and weaken other's BATNA. The course was amazing.

I think this is more about getting people on board with requiring social media to be able to identify users, which is also happening. People hate having to provide ID to Facebook so that they can be identified when the law asks, and the chilling effects of de-anonymization. But stopping kids viewing decapitation videos, sure.
That's for the lawyers. The source will be sold and resurface somewhere.
> when so much focus is assigned to those instead of the core pieces of the OS

Do you have any evidence that Notepad and Task Manager required "so much focus"?

The new Notepad's about as bare-bones as the old Notepad, it just happens to use XAML Islands for the UI. It would be surprising if it significantly detracted from other efforts.
Yes, people agree that farm works sucks and have low wage.

But the point that you and others are missing is that if farm works sucks, and pays low, then that means we should not be sending more people to become farmers.
Never, but as I have gotten older I'm more particular on where I get my advice from. Also, I have realized that people only react to what I tell them. They never know the whole picture. At the end of the day, you make your career decisions and not them.
I don't understand why the answer here isn't just to radically increase the supply of college-level education. People always push back on this and say that college is a status signaling mechanism, which is true as far as it goes, but there is clearly a market for even very expensive low-status school (see: all for-profit colleges).

All that aside, I don't know that Sam Altman is the most effective person to deliver this message, since it's sort of a cliched thing for someone in his role to say. It's especially cringe-y since he's seasoned his thread with a culture war appeal.
Retention department is always a great place to get a deal for this type of thing. Same with wireless.
If you're looking into building toolkits for not-too-popular languages, I feel like Erlang should be interesting, the process model sounds like a perfect match to GUI components. I've never seen anyone trying to build that, for some reason. I have a feeling GUIs with borrow checkers are hard to get right, wouldn't advise building Rust toolkits as practice.

I'll never forget the great crash of 2000. Among the signs I should have seen-- I knew a guy from my bowling league who quit his job to day trade. I don't know what your qualifications are for this line of work, but this guy had no discernible skills. He was doing fine 'till the big crash, then he was wiped out.

Please be safe.
The simple(ish) solution is to install a firewall on your network and configure it to MITM all the HTTPS traffic and simply deny anything it can't MITM. I understand this to be standard practice in many corporate environments. The device/app/whatever either trusts your CA or the traffic gets blocked. I don't bother to do so myself but I think it's a good position to take. My network is mine.
I've implemented RISC-V in verilog for fun and it has a parallel decoder. The ISA's cleverly designed to make it pretty easy. Honestly it was no big deal.
Soon, the ability to do well in leetcode-style tests will be the only qualification needed for a coding job. At the same time, AlphaCode, etc. have shown AI can do well at leetcode. Ergo, AI will soon take all the coding jobs. (/s)
I’ve been fortunate that I haven’t had Covid, but 3 of my siblings have (I mainly attribute that to my living in a state that took the pandemic seriously while they live in Republican states that thrive on Faux News). All three of them have had long Covid ranging from rapid severe weight gain to still not being able to smell or taste anything more than a year after being infected. I am vaccinated and boosted, but I am still masking up and social distancing because even the vaccinated can develop long Covid.
Yea, I could definitely improve this code. This was a quick excel report I build by extracting some data out of our ERP and building the report in Pandas. So those min and max values get surfaced in the output excel sheet.

It was a bit of an emergency and I was figuring Pandas out at the same time. The un-dry structure is handy for me because I can quickly tweak individual things since as a company we are still figuring out what is needed in the report.
I’m not saying it’s good advice, but the critique was missing the 2nd half of the advice. This was the top comment, and many people won’t read the article.

I also think the article is likely a bit hyperbolic/clickbaity, and what the author would actually say is something like, “No. Sorry” or “No. Sorry. Don’t have time.” As opposed to “No. <detailed reason why>.
I don't read it at mutually exclusive, more that pleasing students is not going to advance your research. So more of a witty, be mindful about what you are trying to achieve, what the preconditions actually are and direct effort appropriately.
No. It's just reached the point where organic growth is all that's possible. This leaves Microsoft no choice other than the turn their users into the product in order to increase revenue.

It's a GOOD thing! The more people that migrate off of Windows the better the world will be because then companies can (hopefully) focus their software development on non-closed, cross-platform ecosystems.

Microsoft is long overdue for a market correction. Hopefully the OS market will diversify, bringing a cambrian explosion of life into the market.
On 6G and Trustworthiness
They successfully tested landing and taking off a loaded C-130 from a carrier in the 60s so I guess if you designed a new long range STOL airliner from the ground up it wouldn't be impossible and might even have a slim slim chance of being economical. But existing airliners, no way. And with the risks of carrier operations I don't reckon it'd be anywhere near as safe as 6 hour ETOPS.

For me, the second-biggest obstacle would be data size and correlated, data transfer speed. I regularly analyse GBs to TBs of data on supercomputers which have PBs of free space, regular consumer PCs don't have the harddrive space for that kind of thing. And even if they have, they may not have the transfer speeds to make copying my data there feasible - by the time copying has finished, I may have already run the analysis on a slower CPU
> It is a button that someone (without any morals and willing to take a certain degree of risk) can push to ruin your life remotely, leaving virtually no trace, and allowing virtually no defense

There are many such buttons. So many it’s horrifying.
> again still annoyed by how the “problem” here is portrayed. Open source doesn’t need to be “sustainable” for anything in particular. I like open source because I can work on anything I want, and other interested parties can join. I also work for money, and in that case, I don’t get to work on whatever I want to.

Everyone's different. Some people paint as a hobby. Some people are full-time artists and want to be full-time artists so they get paid and make money doing what they want basically. Even full-time artists have got to deal with gallery owners, other artists in exhibitions, marketing publications, buyers, patrons and grant money.

Somehow the way that open source works where it's never just what you want because you got a whole lot of ideas, inspiration, requests from other people so I don't think the traditional models of patronage or sponsorship are going to work for all cases.

And some people like yourself they're not going to be relevant at all because you just like to work on what you want as a hobby and don't care if you get paid for it and that's perfectly fine but there's plenty of other people who will be choosing to be full-time professional creators and I think that's wonderful and I just don't think there's the right options for them to monetize that at this time.
One of the few really good things about some modern privacy laws is that this kind of defence carries almost zero weight. You don't get to do scummy things and then claim that the user "consented" because of some small print on page 50 of some document no-one ever reads before clicking the button they have to click in order to use the software they just paid for.
Never.

You never stop learning, nor will you ever know everything.

> Thanks for your application to joint the Ubuntu WSL engineering team.
One of the best programming courses I took we only used pen and paper to write pseudo-code. Not having actual computers allowed us to focus on what we were learning, rather than wasting time with the arbitrary details of a particular language’s syntax.
My impression is that there's something of a brain drain as well - lots of excellent Turkish researchers ending up in the West (similar with Iran).

I've had a zoo of animals my whole life and never has this question entered my mind. The only animals I've had on my face while asleep are hamsters that would routinely find ways of escaping their cages and would come and run across my face as soon as they got out (I do not know why) and then I would wake up and spend an hour trying to coax them out of a hiding place to put them back.
Wow. That's really useful advice. I can't find any music that helps me out. I've tried the sound that you'd recommended & White noise is good to me. Thanks a lot.
Kind of an anti-web stance, no?
I lost my Minecraft alpha account apparently because I was allowed to “activate” Minecraft VR in the oculus store rather than the Microsoft Store. I sold my oculus and it’s impossible to launch Minecraft in the Oculus store without a VR headset, despite it being the full game!
You can get pretty big heat pumps these days. If you told the person that sized your heat pump you had a religious objection to insulation or something, they would have just stuck a bigger unit in (greatly reducing your quality of life and increasing your power bill, of course).
What code do you actually runs on those instances? For example is it possible to somehow run hashcat on a rented maching?
Even if he is not talking about network, the example he used in github is flawed, of "auto connected devices, based on distance", maybe in US reality, where you have big houses, but ceratinly not in a real world scenario, with thousand of small apartments with everything near. The solution already exists and is not hard. try to register an airtag, or setup a new iphone with the old one and you will se the process is painless, and there is no 3d location involved.
> Treat groups the same as individuals at the delivery/trust level

why? If I may ask. Does that not violate end-to-end encryption? Or, I think what you meant is from a delivery perspective, not trust? As in, if you accept messages from a sender, the whole group's messages are also delivered going forward? Or do you mean for authentication?
That does look interesting and I was unaware of it so thanks for the link. I'm thinking more like a privacy first, linux based Apple TV / Android TV / Fire TV replacement. Sort of like the FreeTube linux app, but designed for the TV, and with other apps for other services.
> First off, I don't think most physics labs are researching anything even remotely useful to improving batteries. But for the ones that are, let's do fund them.

The problem is, we don't know which ones those are. We won't know, until the discoveries and advancements they make are refined to the point where they can produce batteries.

That's my point - the actual work that needs to happen to make something new that can be put into an "economically useful" product happens 20-30 years beforehand. That's what we need to fund.

> "Battery cell energy densities have almost tripled since 2010 [as of 2020]"

We have a different definition of "rapidly", and a different definition of need. Battery density is the single largest brake on the day-to-day usefulness of electronic devices right now. 3x is nothing. 10x is better, 100x is what we probably need.
What you showed is not proof.

Simply having 1/3 of Harvard admissions being legacy does not disprove that those who go to Ivy Leagues are not intelligent. On the contrary, studies show that IQ is highly genetic (up to 80%). So it is just reasonable for admission offices to accept students based on family ties

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_IQ#cite_note-B...

There is also a correlation between IQ, general intelligence and SAT scores (a requirement for admissions), despite what the media portrays.

FYI: Media is manipulated to create controversy and get views. Scientific studies are not perfect, but has far lower cases due to the peer review process, except for privately funded research

We're long past the point of hedging our bets. Put it this way... when the world runs out of NPK fertilizers (or can't access them) and billions of people start to starve to death, climate change will no longer be seen as the big risk. After going down the rabbit hole that is modern agricultural practices, and more importantly the supply chains that underpin them, the writing is absolutely on the wall for humanity.
What kind of retainer arrangement do you have with your IP lawyers where someone can reach out to them directly and incur billable time? I've got a couple different kinds of lawyers, and there isn't one of them you could call up and get me billed for. You might have a reasonable complaint for your lawyers about this!
That's why I put it in quotes. I don't see many parallels between Erdogan and Khrushchev, though.
IIRC Imagination threatened to sue Apple over use of its GPU tech - though I expect Apple meticulously avoided use of IMG IP, and IMG dropped it.

In a real free-market scenario, would'nt those PhD programs be drastically reduced?

I suspect this is because this physics PhD program is providing an implicit signalling function, that the fellow out of this program is worth more than the ave college guy - doing the same programming job - because he proved himself on more complex study materials.

The Visual Studio web site is impossible to decode. I think this is the page:

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/subscriptions/#software-a...

Basically they give you every version of Windows so you can test your code. So 10 LTSC is in there. I run it in my VMs because it uses so little memory and CPU compared to the regular one.

I don't know which flavor of subscription you need to get it. I got my sub free as an MVP.
What is often missing in the evaluation of US colleges is just how different they are from most European colleges. I compare, for instance, with the Spanish system. A very high percentage of young Spaniards go to college, just like in the US. However, this whole idea of "learning how to learn" and "college is about learning to be an adult" is completely missing there. All the electives that have nothing to do with your major? Nope. Going to college with an undeclared major? Nope. An experience where most students live, eat and sleep on campus? Again, no.

What does a computer science student take in their first year? In year 1, in my hometown's university, through year 1, a student takes Linear Algebra, Calculus, Human-Machine interaction, Computer Hardware Fundamentals, Electrical engineering fundamentals, Intro to programming, Logic, Discrete Math, Discrete Automata, Numerical Methods, and intro to software engineering. Very different from an American University that might have 1 or 2 years worth of cross-major electives.

This is not unique to computing: A 1st year med students (which you get to start at 18), is going to be crushed under a pile of biology, biostatistics, cytology, anatomy and the like. Literature? Philosophy? History? You better have taken those in high school if you wanted to learn them, because college has no time for you to decide what you want to do with your life.

I am not going to try to figure out which system is better in the short or the long run, but it makes it pretty clear that college in the US is nowhere near close to universal in western countries, even after we take away the unique financial challenges the US gives college students.

That's the reason this write up doesn't make any sense because they did do that, the old logo was just the YouTube logo with a gradient and a line, the new logo is much closer to NewPipe's and they dropped the YouTube from "YouTube Vanced"
This is pretty much the case. It was a quickly needed report of data from our ERP system and dumped into an excel sheet to use. I had not used Pandas before but seemed like a good fit for me t build this out. The people who needed this info were not very sure about what they needed, so being un-DRY is better. This is only a maybe 2 page Jupyter sheet. So it's not a huge deal.

In any case, DRY is just an optimization theme. And optimizing for understanding/intent is a higher priority for me. Sometimes they intersect, sometimes not.
Wow thanks for the very detailed explanation, mate, that is much appreciated. However, I still wish the author had delved into more real world examples, to let us have more sense of how this principle can be applied into more practical use cases. "Algorithms To Live By" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25666050-algorithms-to-l... did a really good job at that. Of course an article cannot be at book length but a man can hope.
Ah! That makes total sense. Thanks so much for that additional context.
Are you familiar with non-leftist thought? I've found when interacting with a lot of leftists that they became leftists first through their/others observations/feelings and then began to read leftist thought afterword, but aren't aware of how leftist thoughts fit into the general framework of political ideas. It makes it tough to discuss political thought with a lot of leftists because their only exposure to political critiques is through Marxist lenses, even though Marx himself was very well read in both philosophy and history.

Leftism and intersectionality is all about labelling folks into groups. Each person falls into an intersection of multiple groups (e.g. "African-American" and "presents female") and we can use this to have an understanding of their experience and the oppression that they face. Taken to absurdity, this reduces a person into a bundle of specific labels and doesn't make any distinction between the individual and their labels: well I'm a person of X race assigned Y gender born at Z time with immigrant parents who experienced A, B, and C event and therefore I feel Aleph oppression. The original critique was that, the "obsessive generalization" necessary to equalize the experiences of humanity paradoxically requires an obsessive amount of categorization.

> How is the idea of getting rid of class distinction "obsessive generalisation"?

There are many political philosophies that believe that some amount of class distinction is inherent to humanity. One can create a reductive 1D projection of political preferences by placing "classless, fully equal" society on the left as many leftist theories do and "hierarchical, predetermined classes for each individual" on the right as many fascist theories do. If you think that a "classless, fully equal" society is not extreme at all, then you're probably the one on the very left end of the spectrum.

If you have a physist who is at the leading edge of their field you very much do want them teaching. How do you think you get the next generation of great physists?

It is similar to how when growing crops, like wheat, you should take the best of your harvest and use it for seed. Historically that is one of the most important and also one of the hardest things to teach farmers.

+ Many of the greats have loved teaching and benefited from the process. E.g. Richard Feynman, etc...
