Odd that page doesn't link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-80_SoftCard

Many Apple II owners had this card, allowing us to run CP/M, for the sole purpose of using WordStar and dBase.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordStar

Talk about a killer app. For others it may have been dBase:

Once AppleWorks was available (1984), I think most folks switched to it from WordStar. There was also Apple Writer first available in 1979 but I don't ever recall using it.

I did something similar a 4 or so years back. I wrote something in a month (+ a couple of working with stakeholders to make sure it did what it should). I did it in a legacy tech stack that the architects didn't like, on the side of the main activity, as the deadline was coming close and some hireing processes were slow.

A team of around devs 5 (some coming and going) having been trying to solve the same problem since, but they're still not being close to finished.

In other words, the productivity is in the order 50x to 100x slower than when I did it. Rather, the main reason was that I knew how to write code like that, while they were set up to fail.

Basically, some architect was making all sorts of unnecessary demands for how to wite the code, and the programers were not familiar with much of the tech stack that was introduced.

Also, coding standards were really verbose, easily 10x-30x what I wrote, in lines of code. The current state of what they have look suspiciously like FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition:

https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpris...

TLDR; Incompetent tech leadership prone to cargo-culting, can slow down productivity to virtually zero. In some cases, productivity can go up by ~100x if ignoring their demands.
(Anyone who is not running their OS and temp space on NVME should not expect good performance. Such a configuration has been very cheap for several years now.)
I seriously doubt that. This certainly wasn't true on the Atari. The Atari had fine scrolling and no need even to redraw newly exposed areas. The screen was, as you describe, merely a window upon as much memory as you had available.

Because the Ataris and Commodores had redefinable character sets, you could create graphic elements as characters and build huge maps and scroll around them smoothly with ease.
The search feature doesn't bother me because I never have to use it. My email is organized.
The more interesting question remains unanswered, however. What would possibly be the reason they would find those particular posts potentially sensitive? It seems as though the visual processing NNs they apply to pictures sensed some kind of adversarial content in what are perfectly innocent pictures (one of them is a picture of my room).

I don't expect a reply, I just thought I'd throw this out there. It intrigues me.
Somewhere in my HN history is this same question and I can't say I've got a conclusive answer. My partially confident takeaway is that GNNs describe the architecture of the neural network itself, much in the same way that convolutional or recurrent are terms used to describe other network architectures.

There are two confusing parts for me

1 - The words network and graph are nearly synonymous in this context, and IIRC most neural network architectures are actually graphs that fit some specific pattern. I don't know what makes a 'graph neural network' special (my guess is it has to do with how the layers relate but i don't know)

2 - I almost always see a mention of a graph-related use cases in the context of GNNs. I don't know if there is a fundamental reason for that or if it just so happens that people who have huge graphs worth applying ML to are actually just have really good intuition about how graphs can be leveraged and go that route.

To be fair FAANG are probably large enough now that they can get by with a mix of average engineers at this point as well. They really don't need the best of the best. It's all at scale now and there isn't time for individual attention.

I've enjoyed his series on the KIM-1, something that he wasn't personally involved with but is interesting nevertheless.

As for the trite content, only he knows the motivation behind that. I agree that thumping his credentials does take away from what would, in some cases, be interesting topics. Heck, someone with the right background could probably make that Pi/M1 "drag race" interesting (i.e. deep enough to contrast the architecture of the processors, rather than presenting numbers with a faux sportscaster voice).
Throttle is definitely computerized.
If managers were just be a bunch of morons optimizing for their own success, then there would be no winners and losers, just losers.

But that's not the case. There are companies which are very definitively winners (in that they avoid managerial dead weight), and especially ones in technology that don't hire managers the way you describe. You often see this at quant funds (Two Sigma, HRT, etc). Of course, not everyone can or wants to work at a quant fund. But the truth is, there's no room for a ladder climbing mediocre manager at such a company, so the culture ends up being quite different.

I think the reason why you are wrong on the whole, is that you're not looking at the game that is being played. It is true that managers are busy optimizing for their own success, but if a company cannot align manager success with that of the broader company, whose fault is that, and who is wasting their resources? Leadership and investors. If you have only worked at companies with poor leadership and weak investors, it is easy to think that managers are always idiots optimizing for their own success at the expense of the company's. The truth is, there are many companies where managers get fired for just that, because the outputs are obvious and managers are looked at as intrinsic cost centers rather than profit centers. Why would I hire an ineffective layer of middle management when I could just fire all of them, hire one great leader, and have most of the team report to that great leader with strong senior ICs eventually becoming functional leads that help that single leader support the team at large?

The simple answer to avoid the problem you are raising is to not work at companies with poor leadership and investor bases. Poor management is a symptom of, not a cause of that root cause. I wonder if the reason you blame it on managers (rather than investors and leaders) is the same reason you think of managers as morons -- because you are not looking at the bigger picture.

I suspect that we have a coping mechanism wired in where a certain part of our mind tries to refute bad conscience over something we have done that we consider really bad by repeating the deedwhile internally shouting down the horrified parts "see? it's not that bad, life goes on". Repeating the deed, or exceeding. I'd imagine that conditioning (I refuse to call it training) to have been exceptionally effective.
I find it's built exactly for office politics. Because the backlog can be shared with stakeholders everyone can see what work is in the queue and in what order. The only thing a team lead needs to stand firm on is capacity.
That is true, but unfortunately "out of the box", they're not well suited just be "fed into" an NN. Even if you think of the adjacency matrix as very similar to how the weights are laid out in a feed-forward neural network, you can't ignore that:

- in real life, graphs are not fixed

- you need to deal with the many different potential representations of the graph (permutation invariance)

- the nodes are usually containing more features than a single scalar value

but this is definitely not the best explanation, I think this guy does a lot better job: https://youtu.be/JtDgmmQ60x8

> do they ban providing the service within the state, or does it ban having the procedure anywhere at all?

AFAIK, this has not been tested yet. Although most people seem to be under the impression that states only have jurisdiction within their own borders, not generally over anyone who calls that land their home. I'm sure it will find its way to the supreme court eventually.

> How long do you think it's going to take before your fitness tracker makes reports to your insurance and credit company that impact your premiums and interest rates?

This already happens, though it is voluntary. Both with fitness trackers, and in the case of car insurance with OBD2 trackers that phone home with your driving habits.

> Banks are using "alternative data" sources for credit decisions already today

Heck, not just banks. E.g. Best Buy uses alternative data sources to decide whether or not you are allowed to return an item that you've purchased.

At some point I hope we at least pass a law that says something to the effect of "all data that can be reasonably tied to an individual is required to be available for review and correction, and all businesses engaged in the collection or use of such data shall be publicly registered as such." Or we could just make the data collection (or at least sharing) illegal outright. That'd be nice.

MongoDB is a database with a flexible schema, but the experts at MongoDB recommend that you only store documents with the same or similar structure in a single collection. So what's the point of a flexible schema anyway? Migrations. Data migration is MongoDB's killer feature! In this talk, I will describe the types of schema change that are required as an application matures. I'll cover the different approaches to migration available to application developers, along with their benefits and tradeoffs, and I'll illustrate each technique using Python scripts, web application code, and libraries such as Beanie, an Object Document Mapping library that provides in-built support for migrations.

Eventually we're going to have to reduce the sunlight hitting the Earth because the Sun is getting ~6% hotter every billion years [1]. The Earth is set to become uninhabitable in ~1.6 billion years [2] because of it.

Here's what I think will actually make sense: put space orbitals and power collectors at the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point (roughly 1.5M km from Earth). This is readily accessible in terms of planetary distances, will involve minimal communication delay with Earth and if you build enough of them you can reduce the solar output hitting the Earth however much you want with little to no visible impact from Earth.

What data? Which videos I watched for how long :P
For years I've used Skype on a PC. With Skype you can create and fund an account with a credit card than it takes to wait in line to wait in line at the AT&T store. Microsoft looks positively customer-centric compared to the wireless industry.

The minus is that some services will accept and send SMS to Skype and others won't. If you want to register on, say, OkCupid, Skype won't work.

I have looked into services you can connect a SIP phone to and the story is depressing. There are numerous vendors who are beyond sketchy who are priced similarly to Skype, but the reputable vendors are $20 a month or more.

I’ve also used Skype on numerous tablets, both android and iOS. The experience is a lot like using a phone but better. For one thing upstate NY has cell phone dead spots bigger than some European countries, my farm is in one of them. Since every gas station has free WiFi I get better phone coverage with my tablet than with a cell phone.

It wasn't surprising to me, but it was somewhat surprising to others in the event. It just sort of goes against the conventional wisdom of "more=better", but yes, in hard-deadline situations, having one person push through is often a better option than trying to coordinate between groups.
The issue is that they sway elections. Why is it more important how they sway elections versus the amount of influence? It seems the latter would have a greater effect.
What you're saying about management is true, but there's another reason why ultra-productive engineers aren't paid accordingly. It's context-dependent which engineers get to go into that state; put a "10x" engineer on a 0.1x project, and he'll probably just end up failing and making a bunch of enemies.

Therefore, as the company sees it, they deserve the bulk of the rewards since they are (magnanimously) giving the opportunity to the 10x engineer. He'll still get his 10% bonus if he performs well, won't he? So why should they feel compelled to give him more?

Obviously, this is bad for workers and bad for society, but it makes sense from the corporate viewpoint.

You can add the Robber's Cave experiment and The Third Wave (which seems to be mostly fictional) to that list as well. After WWII, there seems to have been a certain desire among some people to show that the average human (or rodent, here) could quickly be turned evil given the right circumstances, and a number of charlatans popped up who were more than happy to manipulate things in order to feed this desire.

It was not a single coherent link. It was just a bizarrely-recurring set of posts on /r/golang, if not other places, where basically it just became a meme to benchmark routers against each other and claim it was the fastest, combined with new programmers asking which of the routers they should use because this one claims to be 25% faster than that one, but doesn't have this feature or whatever.

Eventually the community finally got it through its collective head that speeding up your router is really not a terribly cost-effective thing to do unless routing requests really is a big cost in your profile of your real website. Protip: It's not. For those edge cases where I'm wrong, you can start worrying. But first you need a website that can even be optimized to the point that that matters (e.g., if you do a couple of things with a database you've already passed the point where it matters), then you have to optimize everything else to the point your router really is the biggest problem, then finally you have this problem.

Edge case problems are an attractive nuisance. When speaking generally, I can't deny they exist, but when designing a system, worry about the problems you have, not the ones someone else might hypothetically have.
> In what deluded world are items that cost tens of thousands of dollars consumables?

I don't think consumable is the right word, but I assume they meant in the sense that many cars are leased, so the drive never really owns a car -- they just "consume" cars as they move from lease to lease.

It is interesting how it evolved that way. As individual components were computerized (ABS, TCS, TCM's, ECM's, etc.), there was no real point at which it made sense to centralized things.

Now, with the silicon shortages, and the ever increasing complexity of vehicle networks, I think things are going to hit a crossover point. Instead of a vehicle full of "microservices", we will probably see more vehicles with some centralized compute unit controlling dozens of sensors and "edge" processors.

It's impossible to fully centralize an automotive computer, but there is a lot of work that can be done to move away from "microservices" to something that is easier to define, develop, and validate

No one force him to do that... but that's what happens when he doesn't. You aren't forced to wear seatbelt (well bad example, as the law actually force you, but enough doesn't so my point still stand) but once you get into an accident, you'll be happy that you had it.

I was thinking the same thing, I think there is a greater potential for these cards to be used for cheating rather than for magic.

Related, is there a way for casino operators to assure their guests that the cards are not marked? I am thinking something similar in spirit to the transparent dice that show they are not loaded, but cards would require something different.
I've been working on this problem for a while. Website upkeep is hard to quantify, but basically every disk fails and every operating system eventually needs a serious upgrade. The timeframe that a system can run continuously is not that long compared to the timeframe that information is relevant. So the most lightweight way to keep something up and running is to make it trivial to port to many hosting configurations by simplifying the toolchain needed to rehost it. (Note that humans are part of that workflow, if it's a company)

I've written a manifesto about making a commitment to keep websites online and maintained for 10-30 years, for people who are maintaining web content: https://jeffhuang.com/designed_to_last/

I've personally been trying to make a commitment to keep my web projects and writing online for 30 years. My original internal goal when I started thinking about this, was to outlast all the content on Twitter, Google+, and facebook.com. One of those has already been met, kind of sadly.
