Once interviewed for a US government lab. Job sounded cool, it involved HPC and large weather simulations. Interviews went great and they decided to extend an offer. Then almost 2 months of silence. I had moved on but they miraculously got back to me after all that time. They sent me an “offer” by… text message, I kid you not. The “offer” included the salary number and that was it. I was expecting the text message to just be a very unorthodox way to give me a preview, but no, that was it. I had to ask for a formal offer letter, almost felt like a scam. Needless to say, I passed.
Thats a fair question, but I think places that were always takeout or fast food type places didn’t base their business model on dine in guests tipping so they don’t need it as much. I mostly want to support local businesses rather than fast food chains. There is some unfairness to workers possibly but also its a line that everyone has to draw somewhere for themselves.
If I build you a model of a building that's fine, and then I build a building that isn't like the model, I think it's reasonable to still say that the model was fine.
The i.MX SoCs seem really nice, it's probably one of the few mainstream ones I haven't personally worked with (only wrote software that targeted it while fully remote).

Most of the fully open designs seem to be limited to a handful of silicon like Freescale PowerPC, a few ARM and MIPS SoCs and RISC-V-based systems which can still have closed Boot ROMs of course (like Intel and AMD x86 CPUs).

At some point I had high hopes there would be a reverse engineering effort for the Marvell Armada chips but that never really went anywhere and a ton of otherwise useful boards are essentially useless nowadays.
"the dictum that truth always triumphs over persecution, is one of those pleasant falsehoods which men repeat after one another till they pass into commonplaces, but which all experience refutes. History teems with instances of truth put down by persecution. If not suppressed forever, it may be thrown back for centuries."

I think there are probably very few web environments that require webassembly, but we use it extensively at https://ayvri.com

No problem having dozens of specific purpose blockchains.

It’s just a ledger, it doesn’t matter at all how big the numbers are. It’s not real money just a record of balances.

I’m not talking about a cryptocurrency, just a blockchain as a replacement for a database table, essentially a different api that ran distributed instead of on some ancient mainframe.
But I don’t think it’s pure hate.

The majority of people who vote in favour of this don’t have the knowledge/experience to immediately see the fallacy of their action and don’t stop to think about it for a second.

I bet if you manage to convince them to stop and reason about it, most will agree with what I said. Even if you want to fight electric cars on principle, the taxpayer money that’s already been spent on the charging points is better to stay there than to be destroyed by spending even more taxpayer money.

The politicians proposing this however don’t work on love or hate - they work on whatever will get their prospective voter base riled up to vote for them, and what’s best than something that elicits a knee-jerk reaction? Even if it’s not best for the voters, the politician would’ve already made their money and retired by the time the consequences hit.

I don’t understand why you are surprised by this? By your own admission, nobody that wants to develop for consoles would use Godot, so logically, their entire userbase are people that don’t want to do that.

I always start with a ship project.

My project of choice, for the last ten years, has been this little "toy" app: https://littlegreenviper.com/portfolio/nacc/

When I finally start learning SwiftUI, for real, I'll do a version of that.

I find that it is a good idea, for me, to always be writing for ship.
It can't be a syntax error though as it evaluates successfully as demonstrated by the right-hand side.
Isn't twitter part of the market of ideas? The NYT ect? The idea that we could have an information ecosystem devoid of human judgement is new or at least not widespread before the internet. It was part of a utopian idea, not entirely different from the ethos powering say crypto that we could encode simple rules and the truth would filter to the top, but that isn't how the public square worked before the internet, quite the opposite, your ability to reach anyone outside your town was pretty dependent on a small handful of companies and those utopian thinkers never really managed to show the rules they came up with for how that information should be spread resulted in truth
I think even crypto cryptic should take some time to actually try out on-chain applications. It's really hard to convey just how much more frictionless it is than the normal financial system.

For example the other week I wanted to buy some Series I savings bonds. This involved first freeing up some capital by selling some index funds. I put the order in Friday night and had to wait until Monday morning for the trade to be executed. Then I had to wait until Wednesday for the cash to become available in the brokerage account. I transfer the cash to my checking account, and the ACH doesn't clear until Friday morning. I finally go to make the purchase on Treasury Direct, and it tells me the order won't go through until the next business day (Tuesday because Monday is a holiday). All told it took me 11 days and countless time fumbling around the outdated and laggy web applications of three different financial institutions.

In contrast the other day I unstaked some USDC I had earning yield in Curve, bridged it from Ethereum to the Polygon, converted it to MATIC tokens using Uniswap, then staked those tokens to earn yield in Lido. The entire chain of transactions took no more than 5 minutes. Didn't have to create an account or login into any of those platforms. Everything went through Metamask connected to an ultra secure hardware wallet.

I'd draw the analogy of how a lot of people from the older generation missed the explosion of mobile convenience apps tens years ago. I can recall my parents asking "why do you need an app to make a restaurant reservation, what's the big deal with just calling the restaurant." And I think the point is that consumers often treat frictions as a given until they actually have an experience where those frictions are removed. Then they have a really hard time going back to the old way.

80% renewables is huge! It's some years before we get to that level by which time we can expect the 20 hours required for all states to be economically viable.

And in the mean time gas peaker plants provide a viable, cheap and safe compromise without needing nuclear!

At least with the pandemic you can pretend that lives were at stake and dissenters were a public health risk. I disagree with that argument, but I can see it.

Those same social networks are de-ranking and blocking dissenters against the escalation of war against Russia in Ukraine. This is categorically different and a major escalation in censorship that most people are not realizing. It's very scary.

Thun sunxi family of chips is really badly supported by the manufacturers, but the mainlining effort (as documented at https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort) is going pretty well. It's still a bit risky if you don't buy an entire integration package from one of the big vendors and at that point you're NDA'ed so hard you might as well go Broadcom or Qualcomm.

Uber once offered me a job. Except they didn't. The recruiter kept saying "we'll put it in writing as soon as you commit to accepting."

I had told them I was weighing their offer against a different one. In fact I slightly preferred their situation.

After several rounds of this ridiculous dance, I finally realized I didn't want to work for a company that acted with so little decency.

I've no doubt that wasn't the case everywhere at Uber, but it was a bad experience.

ACH is only for internal US transfers and is absolutely reversible. Your linked article is not about that. There is of course a time limit.
I much prefer this style, I use it wherever I can because I can comment out lines without a trailing comma causing a syntax error. SQL, Ruby… wherever I can.

Try it, I doubt you'll go back (unless someone's stupid parser doesn't let you).
Also obligatory is to point out the fact that the "study" was not peer reviewed; that it was written by economists, not public health experts (and has been severely criticized by several people who are recognized experts); that one of the authors (Hanke) is a senior director at a so-called think tank known for its is extreme pro-market bias; and that he published several basically crank tweets comparing lockdowns with 1930s German fascism.
I don't think on any time scale that the marketplace of ideas is sufficient to get rid of quacks. There are plenty of popular health-related practices which have had plenty of time to demonstrate their clinical efficacy, but which have failed to do so. Acupuncture, reiki, homeopathy etc all have people that believe in them despite the absence of evidence.

But on _short_ timescales, during an emergency when people are emotional, and in a context where media can benefit from amplifying a message whether or not it's true ... we've seen enough people believe some harmful stuff, and sometimes require extra medical attention because of it.

I'm not saying censorship alone is an answer -- but the marketplace of ideas is not functioning as you describe.

If NYC politics serves property developers first, then it probably wouldn't be illegal for property developers to develop new property in the vast majority of the city.

Agree with most of the options of this blog, the author has a deep insight for open source and products.
Open source let the product has a fast feedback loop, so the product can evolve itself fast and make itself useful for people. Useful for people is the essential way a product or project can live long.
I visited the FireFly offices in Zhongshan a few years ago and expressed interest in helping them get hardware to open source maintainers. A number of devs (predominantly European) expressed interest, I provided the details, and FireFly never sent the hardware. Didn't exactly breed confidence in their brand. The earlier hardware of theirs required off-tree patched kernels to run, and had middling documentation which is far too much development overhead unless you're doing volume. Unsure how much that's changed, I stopped looking.

What makes you think we reached the edge of Moore's Law? It's often been pronounced dead, but it's still going strong. Especially if you consider that not just CPUs, but GPUs (and Systems-on-a-chip etc) can also be torch-bearers as far as the Law is concerned.

Even present day chips are already much faster than neurons. Oversimplified: our transistors work at (the same order of magnitude as) the speed of light; while neurons work at (the same order of magnitude as) the speed of sound.

As far as we can tell, we can just use more and more transistors in parallel, and will eventually get something that can probably run a mind much faster than a human brain can. I have no opinion on whether that's actually the case, but it seems a plausible enough assumption for a story.

> Just like the bad human trope, it ignores that most transistors are highly specialized (an FPU is not a GPU is not a general purpose CPU).

You are right for CPU-type workloads. But if your story take how present day GPUs run present day neural nets, and extrapolates from there, you could very plausibly have an architecture that runs general intelligence, uses most of its transistors most the time, but the hardware looks extremely specialised for one very specific type of computation.

(I suspect that it is battery-energy consumption and waste heat consideration that will make us not use most transistors powering our cyborgs most of the time.

We have already been seeing dynamic frequency scaling with CPUs for ages even on Desktop. Smartphones made these energy considerations even more of a priority.)

> We're talking about extremely arbitrary programs from stories that are being done for the first time ever. "Hacks" that no one has ever done before. "Holodeck simulations" built in magic amounts of time just on a couple of spoken sentences.

Doesn't sound magic at all to me. Today Dall-E 2 already produces awesome images from short descriptions, and GPT-3 can produce stories. Building a complete holodeck simulation is a straightforward extrapolation. (Yet again, I don't know whether in reality there will be a smooth road from today's technology. But it's more than plausible enough for fiction.)

The Halting Problem doesn't apply to these kinds of things at all. Dall-E 2 and GTP-3 aren't even Turing complete.

> [...] but I've also started to feel like most of them are written by people that have never faced the contemporary realities of computer programming [...]

That's most likely true for most authors, yes.
So who should get to live there, ultimately? There's plenty of land in general, but land in Manhattan is sharply limited, so how do we decide who gets in, if it isn't going to be based on ability to pay?
Great question! Formal methods groups in industry are growing rapidly and popping up in surprising places. Amazon's group is probably the most famous, but I think pretty much every big tech company has something going on in the formal verification / static analysis space. There's also a lot going on in blockchain. It's definitely becoming harder to hire people with FM skills, so in that sense, I think it's a great space to get into.

The downside is that the space is quite fragmented and a lot of tools have a high skill bar. If I was starting out, I'd probably focus on static analysis (eg. Infer or something similar - https://github.com/facebook/infer) because those tools tend to be easier to learn, and they have the potential to scale to really big systems. In contrast, Coq is a fine tool, but most people learn it by going to grad school which isn't useful short term career advice.

There are lot of great interviews with practitioners on the Galois podcast, Building Better Systems - that might be a good place to start exploring: https://www.stitcher.com/show/building-better-systems

“Monetary policy” is backed up by the military. What are Celsius’ tokens backed up by?

I doubt it. Crypto reached the superbowl and it's incredibly mainstream. If it's trillion dollar use hasn't been found yet (beyond just doing what already exists slightly better / worse) then I doubt it will ever come.
The phrase “the science” only appears once in the article and in that instance it’s in scare quotes.
Is it? My takeaway is "oh cool, first-class types". Experimenting with this, I can write the following:

let ConfigOf : Type -> Type = \(type : Type) ->
{- What happens if you add another field here? -}
{ home : type
, privateKey : type
, publicKey : type
}

let Config : Type = ConfigOf Text

and the rest of the example still works and evaluates the same.

Also in a later example it has the expression `generate 10 Config buildUser`, which also works because of first-class types. Instead of needing generics, you just take a type as a regular parameter.
Wow, I have been blissfully unaware of Microsoft Viva up until now. I guess Manna [1] came for knowledge workers first.

I dunno. I've been shipping iMX-based designs for over a decade now and I think it's about as open as you can get. Yeah, there's a blob for GPU and a microcode blob for DMA-based blocks but otherwise I can whip u-boot and a Yocto package and make it do whatever I want. If you need a desktop to make your system fly, I don't know what to tell you.

IMO the people stressing about open designs are the ones that don't want to pay for anything above RPi prices. Like I said: job security.

It's not immune to supply issues as well, but that's because a ton of mid-range automakers use it in their IVI systems. The 7 is a safe haven because it doesn't have the video and camera codecs in hardware.

I keep an eye on RISC-V as well, but until I can get one with a 5-10 year production horizon I'll wait to order eval kits.
The arguments they make regarding children's vaccines don't make much sense to me. The end target for the pediatric vaccine trials was immunobridging, which has widely been used for other common childhood vaccines. Are they arguing against those as well? If so, that goes against a widely accepted and validated strategy to bridge adult vaccines down to pediatric age groups. Efficacy is a very complicated thing to measure as variants change. The symptomatic disease efficacy seen for the pediatric trials compare well vs. Omicron to what we've seen for adults, so it's all consistent and makes sense. Also, would they argue against the annual flu shots? We don't even run efficacy trials for those every year for different strain compositions.

Also, a bit of perspective: we vaccinate children for many illnesses that would result in comparatively "small" numbers of pediatric deaths (lower than Covid even!). The reason is that even rare pediatric deaths, if preventable, are terrible given the life-years lost. And there HAVE been FAR too many pediatric Covid deaths by our modern standards for pediatric infectious diseases. If Covid only affected kids, the absolute numbers of deaths would be a very worrisome thing. Second, the possibility of long-term complications from even non-fatal illnesses. For pediatric COVID, MIS-C and potential super antigen links to the recent spread of pediatric hepatitis are more than sufficient to meet that bar.

Finally - there was no safety signal seen in the 5-12 year old pediatric vaccines that have been given out to millions for ~year already, and no signal in the under 5 trials as well. The myocarditis risk primarily seems in teenage and older groups and linked to puberty/adolescent hormones.

There may be contrarian voices in the FDA and CDC as there will be in any large organization. But to believe their voices over the consensus requires a heavy dose of motivated reasoning and not engaging with some basic facts about the goals of pediatric vaccines and the ways vaccine trials work. There's a reason every pediatrician parent I know was first in line to get their kids vaccinated.
There are levels of trust between treating the other party as hostile by default and being sure that there will never be a disputed issue.
