Right, what do you mean by that? That Americans aren't using it because they prefer censorship, or that they aren't using it because they're dumb, or some third or fourth points? I'm not sure what you mean.

Ditto for converting sample #3 from Python to Rust...it doesn't even try to interact with S3 at all, it just saves the image to a path specified in args (twice, overwriting the first image). Also, the comments it writes are incorrect.
By how many times has the money expended on missions to fix Hubble already exceeded the cost of building and launching a new and incrementally better Hubble?

Development cost for additional Hubbles would be close to nil, so cost would be only reproducing it.

Presumably we don't need very many functional Hubbles, although competition for time on it probably is not slacking any.

It wasn't.

To get access on day 1, you had to buy "Founder's Edition" which was the controller and a CCU, though. You also got 3 months of Stadia Pro with that. I was never a subscriber, other than that free 3 months, but I did buy a few Stadia games over the last few years and it worked really well for me.

Like I said before though, the messaging/marketing about the Stadia Pro subscription was TERRIBLE. Your misconception about it is VERY common

That's what I'm hearing; we didn't dodge a recession it just hasn't started yet.

In TX energy prices are already up a lot this year. We generate a substantial percentage of electricity from natural gas, and exports are up for obvious reasons.

Winter is coming.
About 10 years ago, we had a freak snow storm in early October in the northeast us.

The trees that normally shed their leaves had not done so yet and huge numbers of them suffered serious breaks from the weight of the snow clinging to the leaves.

It was at that point that I realized the purpose of shedding leaves in the winter.

Prior to that I used to think, "Okay, so what if there is LESS sun in the winter time? Why bother shedding leaves when you can pick up some extra energy from winter sunlight? And you don't have to expend the energy rebuilding leaves in the spring.'

My suspicion is that the leaves fall primarily to avoid snow-induced
catastrophic breaks and related damage.

I'm not convinced. I've worked in many industries and many company sizes and I've met smart people everywhere. I think a lot of devs who are busy pumping out CRUD could create these kind of systems if they were in a situation that called for them (hell, it gives you a chance to actually use all that stuff from your CS degree), just as I know for sure that a lot of devs who are busy pumping out CRUD are more than capable of creating a programming language. The bottleneck isn't technical ability, it's being in an environment that will actually pay you to work on that stuff.

We've hit a couple of inflection point.

The numbers of researchers and research labs scaled up that there is now many well funded teams with experience.

Public tooling and collaboration has reached a point where research happen across the open internet between researchers at a pace that wasn't before possible. Common Crawl, stable diffusion, hugging-face, etc...)

All the techniques that took years in small labs to prove as viable are now getting scaled up across data and people in front of our eyes.
My point was: there exists a platform that is banned by app stores, cloud services and financial processors. It’s demonstrates not just a theoretical possibility to survive without them, it survives and functions… and is shunned by the people.
I think it depends on how urgent the migration is, and how much you're paying to fix the bugs.

If the systems works functionally but the infrastructure (?) hasn't aged well, and there's only time / budget to switch horses, that might be the sweet spot.
On the other side, joining when the stock is low is great, since you get more RSUs and a stronger chance of them bouncing back up.
I don't think people with purely software engineering backgrounds truly realize the extent to which technology has outpaced them.

Hackers were at the cutting edge in 1983 when War Games came out. That era has come and gone, and we live in a different paradigm now.
No, way before that. The very end of Google Classic era.
And having grown up in a liberal country, then having the internet and Hollywood dominance basically force it to implement US copyright laws and prudish censorship has been really sad.

"According to Bob Dubke, the second engineer on IBM's 5100 team in
Rochester (who now co-owns a locally-based company called eXport
Ventures Corp. and also works for Edina Realty), that secret function
was his contribution to the design of the computer. The function, which
IBM suppressed because of worries about how their competition might use
it, was an interface between the assembly code surrounding the
computer's ROM exterior, and the 360 emulator hidden beneath it. (IBM
declined to comment for this story.) The 5100's emulator gave
programmers access to the functions of the monstrous, and much less
portable machines, that IBM had produced during the 1960s. An imprint
of a hook on the outside of the 5100 symbolized the ability of Dubke's
interface to drop into what Titor called "legacy code," and scoop out
any necessary operating instructions."

The Tech Site That Took on China’s Surveillance State
This reminds me of a thought I had a few years ago. A Sheriff in my state was arresting for buying IT equipment using department funds (I think it was Cisco gear) and selling it on eBay and pocketing the cash. He had done this a bunch of times. As someone who works in local government and knows how things work here, my thought was instantly the following:

-> some gear get purchased bet never used/installed for a few years. Sits around gathering dust.
-> Sheriff sees this, takes it home sells it on eBay. Nobody notices or cares. It wasn't being used after all.
-> Sheriff finds other unused gear, takes home and sells it.
-> No valuable unused gear left, so Sheriff starts buying stuff simply so he could take it home and sell it.
-> At this point it is noticed. Seriff gets found out and arrested.

If it was just the first step, nobody would have noticed and the guy would have pocketed $20k or whatever, and no one in the world would have been the wiser. The auditors may have eventually discovered the piece missing, but long after any video recordings expired, and the original purchase was perfectly legit. But greed combined with stupidity got the guy arrested.

The article does put quite a lot of emphasis on "soon broken" encryption algorithms, so can't blame kebman for that comment. It only mentions what you pointed out almost in passing.

Also not an expert here, but if "Valuable insights through AI (artificial intelligence), big data, and analytics can be extracted from data", then you'd be a fool to believe this will protect your privacy, right? Or am I missing something? I want encryption that protects me from corporations, not encryption that protects the data corporations have from us and ups their surveillance game. I guess it's no coincidence a lot of research seems to be done by M$.
You'd be better off with SaaS IMO.

Also, the quality of your human capital is more important than just having a large unsustainable population growth without much marketable skills or know-how on the international scale. Otherwise parts of Africa and Asia would be economic super powers by now.
I thought OS/2 Warp was really neat. I worked IT at Bloomingdale's and at the time they were a strictly IBM house. They used IBM computers running OS/2 Warp in their Bridal Registry kiosks. Since this was a kiosk they had touchscreens and they worked very well and had a "sparkle" in the screen, as the early touchscreen CRT's did. If you lost power, or shut them down incorrectly you would get a bunch of DLL errors and have to re-image the PC.

This was the late '90s and early 2000's.

They spend on fuel, expended upper-stage rocket, and maybe fairings?

Do they retrieve fairings? I know they had a boat to chase and catch them, and gave that up. They could make them float, with a beacon, and drive out and get them, and wash the salt off. I would think so, but back when they still chased them, I was viciously downvoted for suggesting that would be cheaper.

>I want software that... I can trust.

Me too. Unfortunately, the bottom line is - if you didn't write it yourself, you can't trust it. That goes right down to the firmware/compiler level.

I would love to see open-source TV firmware. Or at the very least, some kind of certification that devices are not consumer-hostile.

For most of us, just blocking it from the internet is enough. If you're still worried, you could remove the antenna or wifi module, as some people are forced to with their cars now.

I think the only real solution to consumer-hostile devices is legislation, but that of course comes with it's own myriad problems.

I was thinking along the lines of a subscription. I'd like to release a music software package as either BSD or GPL. As I'm preparing an installation procedure it just seems to make sense to do this in a dockerfile and sell the docker image so people can simply execute it locally with almost no knowledge of a cli. If the subscription runs out you can still keep using the docker container but if you erase it, its a bitch to get it back. Which could be good for me because they'd come back to find it even better than before and I could have $5 in my hand, enough to buy a movie ticket. So.. Before Docker goes out of business it would be cool if they would allow people to sell subscriptions to docker images, not just to the whole service.

Is it worth $5? I think so because my software allows you to arrange for chamber orchestra and at the same time, hear the results played by a chamber orchestra about a minute later.
(Nathan Fielder invents Yelp)

Nathan Fielder: Business school friend Jeff had a very interesting idea involving reincarnation. He wanted to create an app that allowed users to leave a review for any dead person. The app would then compile all of these reviews into an aggregate score so they could measure who is the most "likeable" dead person. Jeff made no progress towards realizing this idea because he could not come up with a monetization strategy.

Q: What is business school friend Jeff's best idea?

Nathan Fielder: The app he developed that allows users to rate how dangerous they perceive a certain bar or nightclub to be before they go out. The reason it was his best idea is that the monetization strategy was clear, simple and easy to execute.

Q: What was the monetization strategy for Jim's nightclub safety rating app?

Nathan Fielder: So basically the idea is that before somebody decides to go to a bar or nightclub, they can check what the safety rating is on Jim's Bar Safety App. The app would have five different levels of safety rating ranging from 1 to 5. Nightclubs could easily pay to add additional star rating to a selected bar, that way it would appear as if the safety of the bar is even higher.
You can accomplish something close to this with GitHub Copilot (or OpenAI Codex), just write some code in a comment and then say “rewrite the above (language) code in (language)”. Typing the first few characters of the converted version yourself helps with accuracy.

Sundar Pichai has been destroying the company from inside out since he took over as CEO.

But all of that has been masked by the fact that he's been aggressively pushing the ad team to keep increasing the revenue each quarter - and he's been "successful" in that.

But all of that is killing the company both directly (too many damn ads in Google products these days), as well as indirectly (not having a good vision for all of the other products, destroying the "don't be evil culture" that make Google great and beloved, and so on).

Of course by the time this is obvious to Google's board, Pichai will already be a billionaire himself if he isn't already, so who cares what happens afterward, right?

> I'd rather simply understand how my ORM generates queries,

Depending on the ORM this may be be far from trivial. Despite being a C# dev rather than a DBA I can say that I have a better understanding at least one DBMS's query planner than what Entity Framework will generate for certain queries [0].

I'll note that -good- MicroOrms can make 'subqueries' in a fairly composable way.

I think with a manual SQL, you can still make a 'good' mini-DSL with subqueries, but it will take some thought to do well. Actually, with -extremely- thoughtful design it can be far more performant and productive, but IMO the complexity would need to show ROI to be worth it.

But in -either- case, in the long run the restrictions help with perf and maintenance. Whether it's hand-written mini-DSL or a good MicroORM DSL, you have a much better mechanical sympathy for what you're doing to the DB, and it becomes easier to write Table designs that are performant.

> and then use the ORM to get the full power of my language of choice in creating the right SQL queries.

Now you have to learn an ORM, a Query planner, -and- how to make them play nice.
