> And even then a lot of what I produce professionally resides in text files, so I could originate them on an older system - the key to this is, of course, interconnectivity or a bridging technology. SCSI to USB stick anyone!

One think I did a lot, which is kind of cheating, is to use X to run the heavy lifting on my Linux box while sitting in front of a Sun.

A lot of what we do is just larger versions of what we did before. We call batch processing ETL and use tables instead of tapes, but the ideas are there.

And, unlike some MacBooks, a BBC has an ESC key ;-)
> If my RTX3080 breaks, and Nvidia sends me a 3080Ti as a replacement(because maybe they don't have any 3080 in stock) then no, they can't lock it down to 3080 level 3 years later with a software update. And yes, I'm allowed to sell it on as a 3080Ti, because....that's what it is.

What if it's a 3080Ti PCB but inside a RTX3080 card? Is it ethical to sell it as a 3080Ti?

What about an RTX3080 Card that Nvidia drivers mistakenly identify as a 3080Ti and enable additional 3080Ti cores (ignore how technically innaccurate that may be)?

All EVs and hybrids have contactors inside the battery pack and if it is not energized, there is no high voltage present anywhere in the vehicle outside the pack.
Well since you opened that can of worms, CT/CRT is just another religion, and not a nice one.

Ibram X. Kendi, in his book “How to Be an Antiracist” states, “The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past
discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”

The whole movement is predicated, explicitly, on instilling hatred and animosity on some out-group, it's a viscous ideology masquerading as compassion.
I think I've felt this a little bit.

As a non-degreed individual, I didn't hear anything from places I would apply. Eventually, I applied for a non-development job at a company that also claimed it developed software. With the hopes I'd be able to kind of prove my chops while in the other role to get moved over.

Luckily, the company I applied for had no fucking clue what they were doing and hired me for a software development position because their entire technology team had just quit like a week ago or something. And while that job essentially started me on my path to where I am now, and I don't consider myself incompetent. They honestly had absolutely no clue on how to evaluate technology credentials.

My resume was my incomplete education, my work in retail, and a bit of the hobbyist development I had done on the Dreamcast.

Now, the job turned out to be an entire shit-show. This was a company who claimed to develop software but didn't have a license for Visual Studio. No one knew how to manage a SQL Server. Etc. They were looking for a glorified help desk technician who could write some config file level stuff for the software package they were a reseller for.

However. They did contract the bulk of their networking to another company. And also contracted with the owner to be the effective CTO or something. Eventually, that guy knew I wasn't happy or challenged at the job. And when he heard I was looking, he just offered me a job. So I became a contractor for him.

Eventually, one of our clients had their developer just walk in the middle of a project and they needed me there like every day to salvage the situation. After a while, they realized it would be more cost effective to just essentially buy me. So now I work for them, and I have for the past 6 or 7 years. Timeline is a little fuzzy. This client is major. You've heard of them. Now, I get recruiters contacting me and solicitations in my email even though I haven't actively looked for a job since 2007. Even though the place I work for is not even a technology company.

Names do matter.
It was always required but not illegal. Which made it impractical but still an option not to do so. It wasn't uncommon for people living with their friend, partner or in a bad neighborhood to remain registered somewhere else. Now it is illegal and people actually get sentenced in court for living a month with their girlfriend without letting the government know. And it is already being selectively enforced against those the government doesn't like but can't prosecute for something else.

You might not like it but it is true. Finland had a plan to join NATO in case they felt they had to. And when that happened they had plenty of political and public debates and support. Sweden's plan was to cooperate with Finland. In the declaration of government from late last year it was declared that Sweden shouldn't join NATO. So when Finland wanted to join NATO Sweden no longer had a plan and therefor without convincing debate or support also requested to join NATO.

This is important because laws, policy and principles aren't worth much if you can quickly change them. Sweden has shown itself capable of changing fundamental things if it is sufficiently freaked out. And to do so without much resistance or recourse. As Sweden had no alternatives, and with many even stating so publicly, it also isn't in much of a position to resist demands from the US or other countries like long standing members would. It is likely that Sweden will become a "Nine Eyes" country like Denmark which has resulted in numerous incidents for them in recent years.

And these are not the only examples. It's everything from Swedish police using teargas for the first time in history with barely anyone noticing to not being able to publish scenic drone footage without approval.
it was partially in reply to the OP's dead comment blaming this squarely on democrats, and the entire thing struck me as weirdly myopic. It is whataboutism, because I think ascribing blame to a team isn't really helping.

I actually have one (or close to it) since we have an old AS/400 terminal in the backroom. We bought a new iSeries and that, sadly, uses a PC as a console terminal.

It seems NATO needs to either go all out and give Ukraine as much weapons as possible in the hopes of attaining a Russian defeat before winter or let Russia do as it wants in Ukraine. The Germans in particular have been tepid in giving Ukraine weapons (judge by actual deliveries and not public promises) and I wonder how long before they either fully support a Russian defeat or abandon Ukraine.
I really hate when politicians feign interest in human rights when they clearly have some other agenda, and what's even worse is that voters eat that shit up. Clearly this representative is either advocating for mercantilism or is against electrification and doesn't give a damn about child labor. If you want to stop child labor, then provide more aid to African families so they don't have to send their kids off to the mines. These families aren't stupid. They're desperate, and taking away a option from them without providing another won't make them any less desperate.

The most egregious example was during the Iraq War, politicians suddenly started caring about the Anfal genocide, even though that occurred while America was friendly with Saddam Hussein because they shared the common enemy of Iran.
For me it says SEK 58.25 ($5.64) which seems more than reasonable.
Very good. Not only will your car try to control you, it will also fail to do it properly.

Early? They’ve been selling in the market for over 6 years now.
Came here to say this. I'm sure there are situations where this strategy may work, but where I've worked (which is primarily outside of line of business operations) budgets can be inflexible in the short term and just as often trend downward as upward. And people move on. Just because you developed a business justification with my the person who owned a budget before me doesn't mean I'm going to identify that need as a business priority, particularly if my first interaction with understanding that piece of our operations is that it requires a ballooning cost allocation.
That's a rather odd position to take for an ostensibly libertarian publication. I guess this author is more interested in the privatization of tyranny than its abolition.
The other responder liked monorepos for this. It’s not perfect, but it does help with making sure you had all of the code to search from, and once in a while the commit history adds additional clues.
It's not just the ETAs that are pushing me away, but just the entire dealership process generally is annoying. I wanted to order a vehicle from GM and I have tried close at least 10 dealerships at this point in the PNW. No one is straight up on the process of either getting an order in or what pricing will look like or when they might get an allocation. Some just say "sure, you're on the list" but who knows what that even means. One dealership (Bellingham, WA) wanted 25K deposit to even take an order.

I basically gave up on that vehicle not because I can't wait or am not willing to play the price, but the BS process of going through one of these dealerships is too infuriating. Rivian I put my order in and at least I have an order date and understand that I'm in the queue and should be sometime MY24. If Cadillac came out with the exact same process as Rivian and it said I could get my vehicle ordered and enqueued for 12month deliver I would do it.
If you look at Windows from very, very close, you’ll see the VMS inside it.
I like this perspective a lot.

I just got laid off from a ~1.5k-employees private company that applied the same method to split up a large monolithic cash cow (crafted from scratch by a small clique of hackers who met early in life) into microservice and microfrontend internal products because it looked like a good long term plan in Q2 of 2020 and we thought we could scale that forever and start selling our dog food as a service.

Something went wrong, and we hit a ceiling very early. The amount of waste that was generated by the rigid management ecosystem that was created to sustain such a large scale up (for tracking purposes) became so strict that any and all attempts to use the scientific method to solve anything by the then-outnumbered engineering staff became impossible to justify to any non-engineering roles.

If the task didn't fit in a 2 week sprint, it couldn't be planned.

If it can't be planned to be shipped from scratch in a 2 week sprint, from analysis by both your BE and FE devs to both of them shipping at the same time by end of the sprint, it couldn't be done.

If you needed to solve for "what do people wish they could buy?" instead of optimizing for "what are the most humans currently using?", it couldn't be done.

We constantly regretted not sticking to our engineering principles.

The system collapsed. A lot of nice-to-have-but-working-at-a-distance positions were eliminated, as well as a few individual contributors that management hadn't realized were important to their core functions but were hired too recently and didn't have time to adjust to the point system.

I wish I could tell you what happened next, but the layoff happened. Most of us thought it would happen because management would finally realize the (human) system was designed poorly and without a good feedback loop while growth happened. But it turns out they might have only reverted to a previous commit of the organization structure and are still intent on trying again with the same rulebook.

Slower but infinite growth is still the objective, excessive tracking is still the norm.

Their marketing had been doing poorly in recent years, and the layoff wasn't even mentioned in the news, but it seemed like it affected a lot of devs in my neck of the woods despite the near complete lack of media coverage.

Does this happen often? Is this what scaling up always looks like?
Have you considered tagging your notes according to how you intend or potentially expect to use it? Instead of spending time thinking about where the note came from or what it's about, mark it with whatever topic or publication you are working on when you make the note. When you come back to use your KB to write or build something, you can start with the set of notes you previously collected for that purpose.

If you're skeptical, try it a little bit, It's kind of amazing how it can jumpstart work. In fact, you can backfill notes you already have using this concept. Whenever you are working on some output, when you look to your KB for guidance, mark any notes you use with according to why you found it useful.

For example, it's probably that not all the notes about "Python" will be relevant when working on Jupyter Notebooks. But you might also want any relevant notes about data analysis in Jupyter. Tag the notes you use in the output, and next time you revisit the subject, there will already be a set of useful starting points.
When some recruiter from an underrepresented minority working at a FAANG company got fired, they wrote a tweet thread where there were glaring mistakes and wrong concepts about everything.

Like they said the company hired 0 grads from Historically <Minority> Universities (HMUs) before they were hired, and they increased it to 300. And they said it was "a 300% increase". Their words, not mine.

When people from the co went to one HMU, and they hired a very low number of people, and the engineers wrote in their documents absolutely true things, like, "the grads have no idea about even the basic algorithms" (paraphrased). They cited that report and accused the engineers and the whole company of discriminatory practices.

Now, say, you start writing weaknesses, and write "lack of understanding basic arithmetic like GCD" for some of the candidates.

Now all it takes for your company and you to be accused of discriminatory practices is one zelous reporter from WaPo or NYT to get a sample of ~15 of these rejection mails and find your list of weaknesses. Then they just have to show that all of the ~15 people are from historically underrepresented communities.

This is the reason I am never going to do it.
I would be fine for the French to be invaded and occupied by a superior civilisation, if in the long run helped their advancement as well.

Network effects make the negative perception both spread and persist. A person's bad experiences are likely to influence their workplace and business decisions too.

I'm not sure you'll laugh at yourself, so much as new information on what is possible might change your mind.

The hijacking of senses was a major concern for the Apple design group at the earliest stages of their headset design.

Reporting from The Information goes into some depth on Apple's headset external screen display (to show the current expression of the wearer) and what sounds like a uniquely high quality pass through of the environment so you can see and interact with people in the room.

It apparently also deals with occlusion problems that are unsolved in the pass-through experiences of in-market headsets.

It sounds all quite magic, and apparently the work is going in to create that sense. TI's reporting says accomplishing these goals is why the device has fallen behind.

I agree that content creation is difficult and there is a lack of longer experiences, but OTOH people are willing to pay more per hour of content for these experiences - comparable to movies - and there are also plenty of multiplayer/roguelike games for those who want more hours per dollar.

The proof is in the pudding - the Quest has sold a lot and there are many games in the store already.
Russia will leave International Space Station after 2024
1. There was one republic that did not include Russian as the primary language for education, and they were forced to change that. I will try to dig up something on it, I didn't bookmark such a random thing.

2. They are free to have official languages, as long as they include Russian. They are not free to exclude Russian.

Ukraine did not clamp down on Russian prior to Russia annexing 10% of Ukraine in 2014.
It could be obvious, but no need to be condescending about it.

There are many statements that fit into the category of "obvious once stated, but not obvious if you didn't consider the distinction to begin with".
If Google says "we suspended your account because you did x, y, and z, which caused us to suspect that you are committing fraud" that is not slander, unless you can prove that they didn't actually think so, which is impossible.
Chess Gambits: Theory and Evidence
I have always suspected that nvidia's closed source drivers are an intentional result of hiding poorly-implemented limitations
(see code 43 error, etc.) for the sake of market segmentation between data-center and gaming models. They would be screwed if data centers realized they could just reuse cheap off-the-shelf components for a fraction of the price.

Not to mention they benefit from building up a proprietary ecosystem (CUDA, etc.) from collecting data from users (geforce now, etc.).

It's something of a conspiracy theory.
The customers enforce this. IANAL, but afaik there's no law (in the US) that enforces this.

The only place I know of that may have a relevant law to enforce this is Norway and their Norwegian Marketing Control Act that prohibits withdrawing a key feature after sale. Accidental upgrade after a repair under warranty may or may not be included in this.

Sure, I have no objection on that. The problem is that they don't communicate it and you need to guess. With Google, you don't have someone explaining you what's the problem and what you can do to fix it.

This is somewhat a criticism of how contemporary citations work though.

Primitive science (or even pre-publishing science) doesn't get cited because humanity figured it out before our current system was in place.

It may sound silly, but no one feels the need to cite Eratosthenes when implying the world is round.

But many people do feel the need to cite the colorimetric determination for phosphorus (an SCI top 100 paper) even though it was published 100 years ago and is generally considered “base-level science.”

It is certainly an interesting paper to read, but I’m not sure I need every scientist to read it in order to believe they know how to do colorimetric analysis.
Zerotier is my goto tool too(I use tightvnc server even on Windows instead of RDP)!

But the downside is that they had downgraded everyone in the free tier to only 1 hosted network, which is sad since now I can't do different groups.

I used to have a group for each circle of friends so that we can play LAN games together and now I need to ask one of them from each group to set a network themselves for me to join.

Self hosting (Moon instances) introduced basically nothing since our network wasn't super reliable. With their current pricing it wasn't that useful to us so I'm now in a love-hate relationship with Zerotier.
Your "feels" have no influence on any of the firmware in millions of devices that are coded the way they are coded, and cannot be changed, and fail to synchronize with the others that do change in response to a leap second announcement. Those devices do not respond to your sense of fitness. They just fail, and take along everything that has to synchronize with them.
The VR enthusiast/dev community has gotten caught in a death spiral when it comes to simulation sickness.. They encourage each other to "get your VR legs" and play/demand/make nausea-inducing games, and it just chases away all the normal human beings who don't want to spend months gently training their bodies to become immune to it

(FYI, the way it works is you play until you start to feel a hint of nausea, and stop for an hour or more. If you try to fight through it, you'll just condition yourself to feel sick when you even look at/think about a VR headset)
