I'm not sure about the "mission system" part. Most of the MLM people I encountered in Utah did not come through the "mission system." I kinda discount the church hierarchy theory, too. The point about stay at home moms carries water, I think. There aren't a lot of ways to make money while raising a 1, 4, and 7 year old. You can let somebody else raise them while you work. Or... you could have a playdoh party at your house. You can have your one-year-old on your lap while you explain to the other mothers (who are playing with their children as you talk) why they need the rainbow castle addon to the playdoh kingdom set.

A couple fingernail kit / vitamin / kitchenware / scented candle / whatever parties might promise to make you $500. That could pay for a month of piano lessons. Your old dental hygienist job didn't let you bring your kids to work and only work 4 hours on two Saturdays a month. I guess you could give it a try once. And who couldn't use a new cheese grater?

Not quite. It was ISP incompetence (or malice, who knows), but not due to routing. Everyone in your neighbourhood was on branches off of the same string of coax. I think a CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System... a box run by your ISP send you your SYNC, MAP, etc.) headend could be like 20 miles of coax away. Anybody on that 20 miles of coax, assigned to the same channel, would share routing... ie: send down this cable on this channel's frequency.

Each cable modem knew which devices were attached to them (IP and MAC). A dumb ISP would limit you to one MAC on the CM, even though it made no difference to them. Perhaps trying to upsell more connections. Everyone just got routers instead. The CM receives packets from the CMTS for everyone on your 20 mile stretch of cable. It needs to decode them to know who they're for, where one ends and where a new packet starts. An option, configured by the ISP and downloaded as you connect to the network, would tell your modem to either discard all traffic that didn't belong to a known device on your local subnet, or just spew absolutely everything out on your local ethernet. Many ISPs configured their modems to spew everything. Not only was this insecure, most PCs didn't handle all the ethernet interrupts gracefully either, and it could grind your PC to a halt.

CMs also supported encryption, optionally, at the discretion of the ISP (the "Baseline Privacy" you see in the article). Hardware assisted encryption was just rolling out, and only on some CMs, so many ISPs would have this off to improve throughput. DES or 3DES, and possibly another option was available at the time. Your CM and the CMTS would negotiate keys, rotate them with fresh ones every now and then (configurable duration). With this in place, your modem wouldn't be able to decode your 20 miles of neighbours traffic. Your data was secure, at least to the cable office, which could act as nefarious as they chose (why end to end encryption is ideal).

Traffic on another channel would never be decoded (unless the CMTS told your CM to switch channels, it could actively migrate you to optimize the network, shunt you off a channel whose hardware was about to be replaced, then move you back all seamlessly... there would be slight hiccup while it re-did ranging, etc).

Source: I used to write CM firmware for Docsis 2.0 modems in the late 90s.

> but you need to coat all the connections with anti-oxidizing grease

Actually, no you don't. Only wires from like 30 years ago need that. Modern aluminum wires do NOT need the coating. In fact in some places you will fail inspection if you add the coating.

Most people have not updated their knowledge on this, since they don't work in the industry.

> COVID has taught us that: people value being close to home, people value spending more time in their local communities, a sizable portion of the workforce does not need to commute to work.

I think you could easily look at people's reactions to COVID lockdowns and reach the opposite conclusion.

A lot of people hated being stuck at home, a lot of people couldn't wait to get back to normal, travelling to see concerts and sporting events, or just travelling for fun. A lot of people, despite having jobs that can be done remotely, prefer to commute to offices because they think it has other benefits.

All COVID really showed us is what is possible with regards to remote work and keeping people close to home, not is what is largely desired by people.

It was not, the taxable horsepower and the “actual” horsepower are completely different things, as the former is derived from displacement (and / or gear speed at a fixed rpm). There was no fraud because this was how it was expected to work.

Is there a decent country left in the world? One that values privacy, family values, private property and freedoms, knows a man from a woman and is not at war?
Yeah, it's a tough question, and I'll freely admit that I don't have a working model on how things should happen.

I personally have some moral contradictions that aren't resolved in this area. For instance, at this point in time, social media is almost a necessity for interacting with the world at large. If we treat it as such, then practices such as selling data and creating shifty terms of service agreements seem morally wrong. Maybe users should have more control over their own privacy and the contracts they sign.

On the other hand, I don't know how to justify the government forcing an institution to allow the public to dictate how it elects staff members.

Perhaps a company implementing a limited democracy on its own is a good solution.
While iOS comes with high quality, built-in dictionaries, it still lacks an app.

Since the dictionary works as a pop-up on any selectable text, then if I look up a word and there's a "see other word", there is no way to jump to the next word. If the definition contains a word I don't understand, there is no way to click through to that word.

This is the dictionary I'd like to see on my phone.

I'm not sure what's so odd about running your railroad at 50/3 Hz? Do you not like rational numbers?

(I guess you are talking about three-phase power in general, or is there anything special about railroads?)

In practice, just like everything in engineering, you don't run your grid at 50 Hz nor your railroad at 50/3 Hz. You run the grid at some frequency that varies slightly around 50Hz. There's always engineering tolerances.

So even if you don't like rational numbers, it doesn't really matter whether you run the railroads at 50/3 +-0.01 Hz, or at 16.66 +-0.01 Hz.

(I don't know how tight the tolerances are in practice here. It doesn't matter for the argument.)

> So, in case of (stochastic) gradient descent to train a neural network, that would be the neural network that you want to use AD on, not the gradient descent algorithm. Obviously.

The specific proposal of differential programming as a paradigm that goes beyond simple applications of gradient descent for optimising NNs is exactly to apply gradient descent to optimise learning (and other) algorithms themselves. This may be to select hyperparameters, or to select among a family of algorithms, or to include differentiable constraints in the solver, etc.

I wonder, are you familiar with now classic paper, Learning to learn by gradient descent by gradient descent?

> nutjobs who have been loudly protesting every weekend since the start of covid have been left completely untouched

Are you sure about that? Or simply blinded by bias?

Police were barging into homes with search warrants, in one case handcuffing a pregnant mother in front of her kids because she encouraged people to go protest on facebook. Simply writing a comment about these protests was enough to be charged with incitement. [0]

There were hundreds of arrests each weekend for attending protests made illegal by public health laws. The same laws people were marching in the street about. Thousands punished by the legal system for exercising their basic democratic right. [1]

It already is better, this is VERY old news. Modern aluminum alloys do NOT have this problem, but it's too late, no one wants to think about aluminum wires.
Oh. Talking about crypto-currency as opposed to cryptography.
Probably around the same time, we had a client where IBM convinced them to install Lotus Notes/Domino on their iSeries, which ran their factory assembly line. This caused extended downtime and cost them tons of money. IIRC they ultimately installed a Pentium II board into the iSeries running NT and ran Lotus off that... silly
Except when you need to build from source; you'll need yet another whole compiler toolchain that may or may not behave well on a specific environment - eg, do you kow how well rust (or other "modern" language) works in late-nineties mips systems? The c compiler is the lowest common denominator.
Activa V6 is amazing, those are super rare to begin with and I've only driven one once. Cornering in that thing is the weirdest experience initially and afterwards every other car except for high end sports cars feel 'off'.

DS with a five speed manual is the best combo, keep an eye on your steering housing (those tend to go slowly but failure is potentially catastrophic) and front carrier arms, the bushings will wear out and then you'll start to eat tires. Other than that, your main enemy is chassis rust, everything else can be fixed.
I have the exact same experience when I quit coffee for any lengthy period of time. Short term withdrawal is hell, then boost of energy and the best sleep of my life consistently every night.

It's a brutal cycle and I fear I've done irreparable damage to my brain at this point.

As an aside, I highly recommend the Audible book "Caffeine" by Michael Pollan if you haven't already heard it. It's quite brilliant.

Not a blade. They're selling whole racks because that's the level that the hyperscalers work at, and Oxide are trying to bring the same class of systems to on-prem deployments. The closest comparison would be to something like modern mainframes, though the provided featureset might be subtly different.

Think long-term. Women handle home stuff and raise kids. Women can raise the next generation of boys and girls however they wish. If they keep propagating existing culture... It's done by women to next generation of women.

Most Amish communities do send kids out to explore the world. And looking at other comments, Amish women are usually more adopted to outside world and have modern office skills helping men construction etc businesses.

Semi-related... In my post-soviet country, we've a huge problem that women were forced out of home to the workforce in soviet era. Yet men were still sofa kings. Then 90s rolled in with huge unemployment and frequently women were handling both home & working, while men camped on sofas unemployed instead of taking care of the house.

Guess who is propagating this culture? Mothers and grandmothers mostly. For decades they treated boys as a special case who should go out and play and they'll clean up the house. With the help of girls, obviously. In my own childhood, it was a recurring conflict. Mom telling me to do cleaning after school. Grandmother not allowing me to do that and kicking out of the house while cleaning herself. And talking around, it's a very common pattern. Also, guess who is talking shit how men are lazy?

> Citroën hydraulics are detailed but not that complex

Have a look behind the left hand front wheel cover panel and say that again :) There has to be at least 50 meters worth of high pressure line behind there and a functional analog computer using hydraulics. That's what keeps the car balanced front/back and left/right. The height adjusters just do the static balancing for load, that thing on the left front does it dynamically with a response time in the 10's of milliseconds and keeps continuous track of what 'level' means to the car occupants. It is a very impressive piece of engineering which has some components that will leave you completely puzzled (a tube with a few hundred metal plates in it with a tiny hole through the middle, for instance) if you don't know what they are for.
Exactly and I don't know why dictionary apps don't take advantage of it. I wonder if it's against App Store guidelines to make a dictionary app based on the built-in dictionary.

There are a lot of dictionary apps out there but I think most developers miss the forest for the trees. I don't know why there's still not a single dictionary app that is blazing fast, use the built-in dictionary and have some common sense design choices (literally not came across a single dictionary app that doesn't enable keyboard as soon as you open it -- it's a dictionary app, why do they think I open the app?!).

Kotoba (https://github.com/willhains/Kotoba) is almost perfect but there's no way to download it from the App Store and I don't want to deal with the hassle of sideloading on iOS as a non-developer.

Plus, they miss a key point of architecture: sustainability. You might take the 30’ somewhere and draw a high-level model like the ones depicted in the article, but who has time to continuously validate that devs actually follow the blueprint and make decisions should a need to change emerge? Nobody. And that’s OK. Architecture is not a magical ding an sich to be pursued but a way to organize things to achieve specific strategic goals. And for a startup, that goal is to survive until the liftoff. This survival very seldom involves investing heavily into architecture. Some experienced devs are going to be fine, neither the business nor the organization nor the system is going to be complex enough to merit dedicated attention to architecture. And if they are, something is wrong elsewhere (typically leadership)

This "discretizes then differentiates" to borrow terminology from [1] which is one of the more accessible presentations and papers. The program might evaluate correctly, but equational reasoning (like you might want for any kind of automated optimizations) is broken. In a toy example like this where you're doing everything manually then you probably don't care, but for larger systems, it gets tiring to do the mental equivalent of assembly programming.

> expand and contract due to heat changes from high draw, they can work themselves loose

Nope, this is also not true. It's simply that there is a new allow of aluminum used today (since 1975) which retains its strength under heating and this problem is solved.

> This of course means that we could just legislate for better connectors throughout the building

Connector rated for Cu/Al are widely available, and not hard to make. There's just no market for it for smaller wires since everyone got scared and no one wants to install aluminum anymore.

It doesn't have to be that way, the current alloy is 47 years old at this point. People just don't want to change.
