90% of work used to be farming. Today 10% of people are farmers. The next big thing was factory work. At first looms meant more textiles, not less workers. But eventually we hit the transition point where there's actually less factory workers. Now we've moved on to "knowledge work". Sure the effects of automation make more complex knowledge products and jobs for now, but once the automation becomes advanced enough, jobs in the field go down not up. So what comes after knowledge work?

We can't have it both ways. We can't pretend like automation will never kill our jobs while simultaneously pursuing the dream of permeant vacation through automation. The very goal of automation contradicts the idea that we would and should always have jobs.
You should look into MAD, and why the USSR and USA signed a treaty restricting anti-missile defenses. If any country was close to getting ironclad missile shields, it's adversaries would probably act preemptively.
The article specifically states
in a number of these apps the data is hitting the network. You don’t need to do that for what you describe.

Reduced latency after unmute is probably the better explanation.

> They used runtime binary analysis tools to trace raw audio in popular videoconferencing applications as the audio traveled from the app to the computer audio driver and then to the network while the app was muted.

> They found that all of the apps they tested occasionally gather raw audio data while mute is activated, with one popular app gathering information and delivering data to its server at the same rate regardless of whether the microphone is muted or not.
Unlike server, Data Center starts at 42.000$ per year.

For most SMBs, it's cloud or nothing (or a different vendor, of course).
I work in the retail sector, GTINs / EANs in the exponential form aren't ideal but sadly fairly common.
"In principle" is not only (1) hard in practice but also even in principle it is (2) limited by the capacity of the NN. It's (2) which gives me some reassurance.
The Story of a Stare Down
this was definitely a thing in windows too although no idea if changed now - I remember zoom running in the tray would cause the microphone to activate even outside of calls. I was weirded out by it enough to stop running zoom on startup and eventually replace zoom with other applications that didn't exhibit that behaviour.
That's OK in principle, as long as those companies function like governments (i.e. they work to improve things rather than turn a profit, subject to constitutions, public voting, judicial review). As engineers we should embrace the efficiency of scale, but it's quite clear that it can't work under capitalism.
> it is apparently not not required that the conference provider decrypt the streams to mix them

I don't believe this could be true, and the linked article doesn't have the word "mix" anywhere. I imagine that there is no mixing happening until after decryption on the client device. Of course this means that every audio source goes to each recipient discretely, which means more bandwidth, but audio (especially near-silent moments therein) is lightweight enough for reasonably sized groups. Obviously this same n^2 scaling issue happens with the video anyway which is never mixed.
Are crypto currencies affected by export regulations on cryptography?
Seriously, who in their right mind is using Zoom at this point? They've been "accidentally" collecting people's data, disclosing people's data to others, and have been caught lying so many times there's nearly zero chance that it's just total incompetence and even if it were, why use something made by people who are that bad at their job?

There are so many alternatives, how is it Zoom has any business at all?
This was surprisingly difficult!
I used to think most of NIMBY was shallow. Then my city tried to approve four simultaneous development projects in one city block near me. The projects had tower heights of more than double the zoning. The traffic studies ignored all other development in the area and assumed a much higher use of public transit then is reasonable for an area poorly served by public transit. There were numerous other issues. I think many people (including myself) are not opposed to all development and see the need to build condos even in our own areas. We just see the shit we are expected to swallow from developers and want them to do far better.
Yeah how can you write an article about it without mentioning this obvious and innocent reason? Disingenuous clickbait.
astounds me people are still referencing MMT when its exactly what got us into this inflation mess in the first place. the tantalizing cancerous idea which will never die
Yes, but I don't see how that's relevant. Not banning trade doesn't force the countries to trade, it just gives them the choice.
I assumed you were referring to the crypto within the blockchain's design itself becoming vulnerable. But if you're referring to more general vulnerabilities like with TLS, I'm not really sure how that's any different from the same being present on a traditional bank's site?
Was this copied on one of those Xerox copiers that swapped letters and numbers because of the JBIG compression?
AFAIK the Datacenter pricing starts at 500 users and goes up from there. So a small org could end up paying 5-10x what they were before on the Server license.
This might qualify as high treason, as defined in the Constitution rather as used as an insult. The U.S. and North Korea are still technically at war, and this act was definitely aiding the North Korean government.
Whoa, 2 for $2.22 is something I haven't seen for 15 years here in northern WV. Usually like 2.19 for one, and two is pushing $3.75 now (maybe $3.50 if you're a rewards member).

I suppose we have excise taxes to thank for that.

They do seem quite at liberty to put signs that say 2/3.50 and then have the individual price listed higher beside it.

california is among the highest state tax rates in the country...
California politicians need to break away from the hold of the progressive left. All I see in the bay area are politicians arguing over who is more progressive rather than anyone actually suggesting how they will practically and concretely solve the problems that are so obviously in front of us. But even just acknowledging that there is a problem seems to be impossible for any politicians here. Without any actual challenge from the right, politicians will just keep moving to the left, even when that doesn't really mean anything other than how you virtue signal to certain causes.

Just because you don't kowtow to the woke ideology, doesn't mean you can't be on the left and push for improving your state and locality in a practical way and until we get some politicians that actually stand up and say we're going to actually fix some of this, then we aren't going to have any meaningful improvements.

> The current restrictions that have created suburbia are already yield expensive, cookie cutter and flimsy housing, so even if your arguments were taken at face value (Which I disagree with), nothing changes for the worse.

I'm not disputing that. What I am disputing is denser housing would get us "a beautiful city like Paris, Copenhagen, Milan..." It's false advertising.

The only thing you'll get with density is density.

Oracle cloud “always free” tier – can they be trusted?
I initially assumed they would try and trick people into using paid services (e.g. by exceeding bandwith or storage limits), but that doesn't seem to be the case. From what I can gather, you would need to explicitly move into a paid tier.

But... Oracle have a certain reputation as I'm sure everyone here knows. Are there any users who can give me some confidence I'm not going to get hit with a massive bill for accidentally clicking some trivial button?
Supporting one's spouse does not mean acquiescing to every opportunity afforded the other. Things are a little different when we're talking about matters of shelter/food/health, but in this situation we're talking about an international relocation of an already successful businessman. He was pursuing personal career and experience outcomes, he wasn't trying to drag his family above the poverty line.

And besides, it's pretty clear HE regrets the decision. Maybe learn something from the person who lived the experience.

> Everything changes all the time without exception. Getting used to change serves everyone.

This statement is meaningless. Change in life is constant, but everything doesn't change all the time. You weaponize this statement as if to say we - or at least one spouse - should abdicate their agency in their own or their shared life.
> When you are the only one paying for apartment, hobbies and school

There are two sides to every story. I could say that this is what my wife and I do (because it is what we do), but it is out of convenience and the fact that I'm privileged enough to be able support both of us. It would be technically correct for me to say "I pay for your housing", but doing so would be weaponizing it unnecessarily. In our case we could split everything 50:50 too, we just explicitly choose not to because it's burdensome. I can't now use that against her whenever I want to.

I'm not saying this is OP's situation, but that it is an alternative possible read of the situation given the tiny fraction of detail we've been given.
The one place I worked that used Jira was a small-but-not-tiny company (about 15 devs at the time). The only people who actually used Jira were the managers. Developers got printed stories. These were used for planning, and were printed on cards and taped to a white board when ready. Developer would pull a card to work on, and return it to the manager when it was complete. The manager did all the status updates and reporting to upper management.

IDK if this was to cheap out on the licensing with a minimal number of users, or if it was to insulate the developers from the experience of using Jira. Perhaps some of both.

Clearly that usage pattern would only scale so far.
"Cities aren't loud, cars are"

Happy city dweller here...no, cars are indeed loud, but so are cities. People, trains, the buzz of lights, the rumble of skateboards, chatter, endless motion at all hours, etc. That's part of the charm.

"NIMBYs really are selfish and shallow people."

Agreed.
Okay, so my citation is, I was there, I was a (fringe) participant in pre-internet piracy culture, starting in 1990.

Pirate BBSes would have various "goods" (in the sense you and GP mean) available for download, including images (hint: some of them may have involve ladies), text files, and software. Sometimes there would also be sections for various art media created by users, such as .mods or ASCII art or poetry or whatever. Those various "goods" would never be all slopped together, they'd be divided into categories. And the category called "warez" would never, ever, have anything in it other than pirated software.

I agree that the s-to-z thing is just classic hacker/leet culture, though it's not internet culture, because it predates the people in question having internet access. I'm saying that the "wares" that becomes "warez" is not "wares-as-in-goods", it's "wares-as-in-softwares". It's pluralized even though "software" is a non-count noun, because then it fits with "files", "images", and so on. And yes, ultimately the "-ware" in "software" is from the sense that you and GP are talking about; I'm saying that the etymology is not directly from there, because otherwise all the other kinds of pirated stuff would also be "warez", and it never, ever, was.
> I'm not sure why they don't say which one

Yeah, that's very annoying.

Zoom, for example, will tell you, when you are muted and you begin to speak. It's a very nice thing.

I have a microphone (that wasn't expensive) that has a hardware mute. I use it when I really want to make sure I'm not heard, even for "speaking" detection.
AIUI, in theory, they're all the same given a sufficiently advanced optimizing compiler. They're all equivalently-powerful way to model computation, so can all in principle be translated back and forth. In practice extracting optimal efficiency is difficult.

Are we looking for 'real businesses' or true scotsmen in tech giants that have built things from absolute scratch without buying companies now?

Perhaps none of these tech giants have done anything novel since they too have bought too many businesses as well. Even if it includes one by definition. Oh dear.

A nearby house that is slightly less fancy than mine just sold for 100+K more then mine is listed on the tax rolls which is drastically above previous sales for such homes in this area. Not a large town, lots of empty land for sale, excellent Internet and prices are still thru the roof so it isn't just a California issue when talking about housing and such costs.
>Same for movies or "free" content on video services like youtube, twitch, etc. those go by the number of views. They have optimized their revenue funnels and counter culture things just don't pay.

I take it you haven't actually been on any of these platforms lately because there is an insane amount of niche content on all of them. In fact, catering to subculture and niche interests is what makes them successful.

Also, the commoditization of counterculture by mass media is a thing in general. Hip-hop, punk, anime, D&D, you name it.

This is from July 2019: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2019/07/10/zoom

After they were called out, supposedly they fixed it, but that tweet you just linked looks like more of the same nonsense which goes right back to my original point: reputation matters. If the first could be taken as honestly naïve, the second proves it was not. Zoom doesn’t go on anything I own or control.
Metaverse Company to Offer Immortality Through ‘Live Forever’ Mode
People have tried running water to cool solar panels. It is a bad fit. Plumbing is a source of trouble; the more fittings involved, the worse it gets.

Somebody is selling plastic frames you attach your panels to, to blow air through to cool the panels and claim the excess heat. Air ducting makes less trouble than plumbing does. The air can go through a heat exchanger attached to a heat pump to concentrate it.

Keeping the panels cool increases their efficiency enough to pay for the fan and heat pump, and makes them degrade much more slowly; and, you get the heat if you want it.
It does go both ways, however. Just as the "breadwinner" doesn't get to use their money to diminish the (very substantial) labor of the other at home, the other doesn't get to use their labour to assert complete dominance over how the shared house is used.

It's teamwork. Having two warring departments in a company is bad news, so is two adversarial government agencies: there's a common goal at stake. It's no different at home.

If you were on a sports team, you'd think carefully about how a teammate wants the ball, and they'll think about how they can make it easy to set up for you to execute that pass. Making a hospital pass doesn't make either of you look better, and doesn't win the game.

Your analogy is fair, but I'm not sure it works in the way you want it to. Cryptocurrency now exhibits a lot of the same issues that the Old West exhibited then (lawlessness, criminality, etc). But the Old West didn't result in some free-market hard-currency utopia. Eventually the powers that be brought in the same regulations, police, courts, etc that governed everything else. So that "Old West" was destroyed. In your analogy, that would be the "status quo financial system" taking over crypto and either outlawing it or changing it beyond all recognition.

> I for one, take this perceived negative bias as a confirmation that Bitcoin is a genuine threat to the existing financial system.

I think you are taking things the wrong way. I, too, dislike our current financial system and want it to radically change. And I, too, hope that cryptocurrency can play a part in that. Your assumption that others feel "threatened" by cryptocurrency just because they point out the negatives isn't a good one. They are just being reasonable and fair.

> Am I just a dumb ass?

No, but be careful of becoming a shill for crypto. Don't slide down the slippery slope of ignoring things that are bad -- or claiming that they aren't -- just because crypto may align with some of your values and beliefs. I'm not saying you are. But the wording of your original post leaves one to wonder whether you value your vision of a utopian financial system above the very real tragedies occurring every day in crypto. You can both love crypto and hate those tragedies.

Well, the code that was published alongside the article is written in Python and CUDA, so you're not looking at the right kind of processor to start.

My 5-year-old, consumer-grade GPU does 1.5 MHz * 2300 cores, whereas the equivalent released this year does 1.7 Mhz * 8900 cores. Granted, not the best way to measure GPU performance, but it is roughly keeping pace with Moore's law, and it's going to be a better indicator of the future than Intel CPU capabilities, especially for machine learning applications.

Excuse me, but what the fuck? How is it possible that the multi-ton high-speed metal box with potential to kill people reboots once a month?

I think that people forget that you need two copies of your data under your control - and when your data is primarily on the cloud it is not data under your control; it is under the cloud company's control. You should have at least one copy that is physically in your possession, offline preferably, so that you have access to it.

For my cloud data, I sync it down to a local server and then sync that to removable offline media.
