You have it backwards. The general statement by Fry is justly questioned by an example which, if true, suggests the general statement might be false.
it just got faster. what's the drama about?
I agree.

One positive remains though: If you buy from Walmart you get it from Walmart and their supply chain. With Amazon because they "mingle" inventory from third parties, you can order shipped & sold by Amazon.com and still get a counterfeit product, because a third party slipped it in.

And, yes, that has happened to me personally by the way.
Yes, it's not actively developed anymore because of the large overlap in functionality with uBlock Origin as well as the maintainance burden.

However it's not equivalent, because in uMatrix you have even more fine-grained control which content a certain domain in a certain context can load (i.e. scripts, images, css and xhr requests).
You may wish to take a look at the book, Righting Software, by Juval Löwy. It is not specific to any particular application or language, but can be generally applied to different projects and systems.

It's out of beta now, and is one of the most expensive internet connections available in much of its service region... So you'd really expect decent reliability and if not an outage report...
Meaningless because (adequately cooled) modern desktop CPUs mostly run near their boost clock in single threaded loads and somewhere between base and boost in multithreaded.
As big as the invention of CGI

Still, humans use art to communicate intent, and we still consider AIs to be 'things' , no agency or intent. Being an artist just became a lot harder, because no amount of technical prowess can make you stand out. It s all about the narrative now

Alternatively, you can hide your ssh port behind port knocking… which I find to be simple and elegant - and requires almost no configuration or tooling.

There are benefits to sharpening the blade. If your day job vanishes all of a sudden (happened to me twice in my career), having your tentacles out to look for gigs will soften the blow. I've also had a gig turn into a dayjob (even if that one was short-lived and problematic on many fronts).
1. Politicians have limited control over the price of power. There are many extraneous factors that influence pricing as well.

2. Politicians and their constituents often have many priorities other than electricity prices.

One thing is for sure, countries with the cheapest power are definitely not countries known for their great politicians.

Is it? I seriously doubt it.

Other than "you can't trust anything you don't see with your own eyes", what kind of shift is it? People lived like that for literally millennia before photography, audio, and video recording.

At absolute worst, we are only undoing about 150 years of development, and only "kind of" and only in certain scenarios.

Moreover, people were making convincing edits of street signs, etc. literally 20 years ago using just Photoshop. What does this really change at a fundamental level? Okay, so you can mimic voices and generate video, rather than just static images. But people have been making hoax recordings and videos for longer than we've had computers.

I think the effects of this stuff will be: 1) making it easier/cheaper to create certain forms of art and entertainment media, 2) making it easier to create hoaxes, and 3) we will eventually need to contend with challenges to IP law. That's about it. I think it will create a lot of value for a lot of people (sibling comment makes a good point about this being equivalent to CGI), but I don't see the big societal shift you're claiming that this is.
This is happening in Norway, where sales of gas-powered are banned starting in 2025, and where sales of such cars have already fallen dramatically.

Some people here support California's 2035 on gas cars. I oppose such drastic restrictions on consumers.
I'm at 48 keys right now, but I would like to counter that it's not just key presses you should care about, but also movement of the hands. My setup definitely isn't perfect but your example is exactly the kind of key sequence I have optimized for. Having parenthesis and the various brackets on the home row or very close is super awesome for programming.

Honestly, you don't need to go down to so few keys, just program your keyboard to have one more layer that puts those special characters into a better place for you and I think you'll get 90% of the benefit of the OP's keyboard.
I completely agree with your point - pretty much everyone is now properly aware of the climate crisis but for a bunch of reasons biodiversity crisis doesn't ring a lot of bells let alone people are willing to do anything about it. However: depending on where you live not mowing at all turns your meadow into a rough wilderness with only a couple of plant species (think nettles+blackberries) in no time, and later on into forest. Main reason being nitrogen deposition leading to those species simply outgrowing the rest, as is the case for e.g. quite a lot of areas in western Europe (visuals in [1] for example).

So as far as biodiversity goes: there's enough of the typical 'no mowing' vegetation already whereas ecosystems like flower-rich meadows are in decline. Currently and practically for laymen this can only be countered by mowing and removing cuttings. Depending on soil type and what's in it fertlizer-wise about twice a year. Preferrably, as you mention, still with mowing patches instead of everything at once in order to maintain some habitat for the fauna. Still a lot less time and money consuming than maintaining a lawn.

Just figuring out what is important / not important to the company alone is enormously important.

I’ve seen multiple times my careers were dozens of people no will work for months on something that just isn’t important.

Being able to put things in terms like this feature will cost us $1 million in developer time. We can expect a return of $50,000 over the life of the product. Or vice versa.

Stuff that many developers don’t think about.
> run four instances of the loop in parallel

Indeed, here’s an example which uses even higher latency FMA instructions to accumulate: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59495197/126995 The example uses 4 independent accumulators to saturate the throughput, instead of stalling on the latency. BTW, on most modern CPUs that code doesn’t saturate the compute throughput, the bottleneck is loads.

> a sufficiently smart compiler could

They tend to avoid doing that for floats, for accuracy reasons: float addition ain’t associative.

This mirrors my journey exactly. BB was pretty much a joke for most of the last decade+, however in the last few years it's been a bastion of reliability in a sea of fakes from its competitors.
> It was impossible to change the program of an Intel 4004, the program was written in the ROM when the memory was manufactured.

This is not accurate. If you used a 4001 ROM as program memory, then it can’t be changed, but this is a property of the system, not the processor, and intel made the 4008 and 4009 memory interface chips to enable using standard RAM chips as program memory for the 4004. The 4004 also had a WPM (write program memory) instruction that could be used in these situations.

I don’t understand why you are adamant the 4004 is not a microprocessor but the 8008 is. The 4004 is weird and clearly designed with some instructions specifically because it was targeted for a calculator, but that doesn’t mean it had “nothing to do with general-purpose programmable computers.” It was programmable and had a sufficient instruction set to be used for general purposes. Intel could have made a true fixed function chip just for the calculator, but they decided to made a cpu instead.

Signal operates on the idea that anything sent through chat is ephemeral and not worth keeping, which just doesn’t work in practice in my experience.

When you’re knee deep in conversation with someone you’re probably not going to say, “oh hey we should switch to email so we can keep a record of this”. It might not even occur to you that the conversation could ever be of value.

There’s been several occasions when my life has been made much more easy for having been able to dig up some old message in iMessage, Telegram, etc from as far back as multiple years ago sometimes because the way things played out the pertinent info didn’t exist anywhere else simply because nobody involved could’ve ever guessed it had any importance.
I don't know how else I can describe it, maybe you're so used to it you don't see how limiting it is.

Here is a thread on reddit describing it:

There are a few solutions around it, some require a jailbroken iPhone, others use empty widgets to create "fake space".
Yes. My son is a nuclear physicist and found the whole "Germany shuts down its nuclear plants in favour of Russian gas" a strange choice.

They made a choice, now they see the results of the decision?

Maybe this will be a catalyst to revive nuclear?

Perhaps our shitty leaders can stop the "we hate carbon" mantra and start selling our massive natural gas supplies to Europe removing the shortages?
They cheapen the entry fees for learning, but the expectation will keep getting higher. It's like games where, even for indies, they won't accept N64 quality these days. Text to speech is quite good now, but people prefer real narrators. Everyone can create music with a cheap laptop and some midi keyboards, but only those really talented will make it.
I'm not the OP, but I have a hard time understanding why people can't separate the bias from the facts in any news piece. Sure, it's "The PoSt MiLlEnNiAl", but you lose the chance or opportunity to broaden your mind and understand why readers of these articles feel the way they do, which can help sympathize with your fellow person and not the local echo chambers of beliefs people seem to have put themselves in in the past couple decades. I guarantee you a lot of people who read The Post Millennial daily would have your same reaction if someone posted something from a more left-leaning outlet (which is part of the problem, but that's a discussion for another time)

If you know a media outlet is biased (like 90% of them are) - then you know you have to be careful when trying to extract the facts and general sentiment of the writer.

I don't know where this was lost in the collective consciousness of society or if we had it in the first place.
Maybe, maybe not. It didn't happen with CGI, the uncanny valley hasn't been surmounted, car chases aside.

The mulchers, as Bruce Sterling calls them, have a fresh meat problem. They've consumed all the words, and all the pictures, and we already know that feeding them their own mulch gives worse results.

We're not at the scale limit for data but we know where it is. It's not clear that refinements to the mulching process will create mulch good enough to tell apart from creation. It might. But it might not.
Mentioned where? The linked article only mentions Reddit once and that link resolves fine.
A general problem of human communication.

Congratulations on arriving at the realization that matches exactly what I wrote out in my first message. That you can include both was my entire thesis, dude!

That you missed that and feel that "single-minded"[1] is an attack[2] explains the conflict here. You're reading things out of comments that aren't actually written there[3] and failing to read out of them what actually is.

I'm glad that this exchange is over.

1. <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/single-minded>: Intensely focused and concentrated on purpose, thinking of only one goal, undistractable.

2. Are you perhaps mistaking it with "small-minded"?

3. That stuff, along with being able to "make a difference to search engines" mentioned, once again. Why? To reiterate—in response to what, exactly? Who are you arguing with?
But the existing situation is the reverse of what you described.

The largest tech companies out there (usually? anecdotal) do not have this distinction, it's the smaller and older companies that continue to enforce this arbitrary divide.
> So for example, as a Junior Engineer you will define the design (architecture) of a feature within a service,

This is how you end up with antipattern-laden monstrosities. And I don't mean that in the dogmatic sense, I mean juniors will find "clever" ways of getting the job done, often with far too much abstraction and reinventing core technologies like message-passing, task schedulers, databases, ORMs... It can be a good learning experience but they need a active mentor/architect overseeing every major decision.

If you are going to reinvent something you should at least be aware of it. Juniors just don't have this broad perspective yet, almost by definition.

OTOH, one of the my pet peeves is an "architect" who gives this advice I am giving but doesn't actually have the requisite technical background, i.e. saying "don't reinvent the wheel" while looking at a teacup.
I went through this process yesterday, trying to create a city on a floating island in the sky, and it's so fun.

Basically, drawing sketches, editing (rudimentaly) in image editing software, img2img, edit, img2img, and a few more rounds, and you can get to something really, really cool.

Even regular tap water in many US cities is contaminated with PFAS and other pollutants.

When water does reach a house, only about 5-20% is used for cooking or drinking - the rest for watering plants, showers, toilet flushing, washing.

Is it better to just outfit each home with an under-sink reverse osmosis machine and pipe in raw reservoir water?

tangential resources for nutritional/dietary supplements:

even when after decades people muster courage and strength to throw them out, old colonial powers prop them up again thru colonial structures like the military. this has happened again and again in Pakistan.
Another fact is Pakistan is paying the price not just for carbon emissions that happened last year, but for the emissions that have been happening since the industrial revolution. The very same industrial revolution that caused colonialism in the first place. It is double whammy for countries like Pakistan, all this is traced directly to colonialism - the floods, and the inability to cope with them.
I think it will be interesting to see how this comment has aged in five years.
If only the millennials understood how many Boomers and (soon) GenXers are in the workforce after age 55 only because they are waiting for Medicare to kick in.

That promotion you want but can't get? Yeah, vote for reducing the Medicare age limit and it's yours.
Depending on where you live those rodents won't do any harm though. Or simply leave again because the cannot find food, which is like the #1 thing to deal with in case of rodents. Moreover you'd need a serious amount of 'deadzone' around your house before rodents won't cross it, no? It's not like they only can cover distances of few metres. All in all, this type of claim should be backed by research :) Curious if there is any.

Would it be enough to not host a server in California, or would the hosting provider also have to not be based in California, or more extreme would the hosting provider have to not do business in California? How many levels removed would a server renter, owner, operator have to be?

As an example, Linode HQ is in Philadelphia, PA and Vultr is in West Palm Beach, FL. Linode have a colo in Fremont, CA and Vultr have a colo in Los Angeles, CA. Would having a colo in California bind them and their customers to this requirement? e.g. If I only use the colocation sites not in California would that suffice, or do I need to migrate to providers that do not have a presence in California?
Meanwhile search results are absolutely infested with sites that scrape and rehost StackOverflow content, and somehow manage to get better search engine rankings than StackOverflow itself on many queries.
Also on Vancouver Island and can confirm that the only way to see a doctor for many people is to walk into the Emergency and wait 6 hours.
I think the more accepted title these days instead of architect is "staff engineer". If you read older architecture books like "the software architect elevator" or "12 essential skills for software architects", most of the book is about technical leadership, driving change, personal skills, delegation.

Building some theoretical construct and having other people build it is by itself bad architecture, resulting in bad team culture and bad systems.

Wrong, SO or github code is not public domain, you must respect copyright and licenses.

Copilot mashes existing licensed code into a ML model, and presents it under its own (shady) new copyright and license - hence, code laundering.
It won't tip the balance but it is a significant percentage of active users. I want to say greater than 15 percent but I can't remember where I saw that.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter what percentage of all users, just what percentage of techie word-of-mouth types use ad blockers. And that is a very significant percentage.

Maybe your mom can't change it herself but come Thanksgiving she's going to complain about it to you and you are going to fix it so she has an ad free experience again.
The marketplace-ization (is there a word for that?) of every retailer feels so short sighted.

I’ll throw out an example I’ve noticed lately - furniture manufacturers. Search for any item on Crate & Barrel or West Elm’s website and you’ll first see a handful of exclusive pieces that are clearly built for the brand. Keep scrolling and the search results gradually become a bunch of generic third party items that you can find in a dozen different places, often for lower prices elsewhere.

I get it, Crate & Barrel sees this as an opportunity to monetize their brand without having to do all that much. Unfortunately it leaves me with a lot less trust for a brand that used to represent a quality and reputation.

They may be not "staged" but pointless instead. I once real some long text about their high party politics, and the gist of it was that previously they had a tradition that every decade or so current chairman selects his successor. And that successor brings up his own team, mostly renewing high government posts. It seems that Xi is breaking that tradition and decided to continue ruling forever. Thus he will freeze any political successions in the country. And to do that he would be forced to tighten regulation and control over everything, which will mean even more emphasis on the loyal subordinates and so vicious autocratic circle will continue.

Also USA presidential elections are joke, and definitely not a good benchmark to look at. Whole world somehow understands that simple vote by every single citizen is the best way to elect a leader, if you prefer democratic process in general. Also USA is definitely not even close to the ruzzia. I wouldn't evaluate China here, but ruzzia and USA are pretty much on the opposite spectrum in mentality, until Orange-man at least.
The article starts off with me expecting the twist to be that the image was generated with a single text prompt. That would have been neat, and in line with the other recent sensational coverage of how these new models are BLOWING PEOPLE’S MINDS. But it’s actually a walkthrough where the author goes through a much more tedious process that I could ever imagine going through to get the level of quality of that final result.
That’s why we have design reviews where SDEs present their designs, and often informal discussions before.

I know that technology has displaced workers in the past, but it seems to be doing so at a faster and faster pace.

Technology has always enabled the creation of jobs faster than it displaces workers though. Sure, horse manure shovelers lamented the automobile, but people who became mechanics and petrol pump attendants didn't. The same will likely be true for artists - this will suck for them, but the proliferation of easily generated art assets will likely enable the creation of entirely new jobs we haven't considered yet.
Of course it’s always going to be too many of ‘them’. Wars are always about limited resources. It’s crazy to think the planet can handle exponential population growth forever. At a certain point hard decision are going to have to be made, and I doubt anyone is going to volunteer to be culled.

At the rate the climate hysteria is growing, we are going to have wars specifically aimed at culling large populations. Maybe biological sneak attacks, I mean accidental releases.
