I 100% agree with you when it comes to software meant for me. But there's a lot of software that doesn't exist for people who can't prop up capital like we can.

Where I live, you have to pay a lawyer something like $1,200 to clear an old arrest off your record and good luck affording that if you can't get a job or housing because of an arrest that happened a decade ago. I'm currently working to automate as much of the process as possible to bring the cost down to closer to what I think it should be ($0).

If you want to find things to program that are useful to someone, it might be worth your time to go looking for things.

I mean, it’s not going to stop cheating, but you would think it would encourage the cheater to choose another venue. Dumb people are dumb, though.

Rule one of doing bad things, legal or illegal: don’t talk about it with anyone who isn’t part of it. And as few of those as possible.

I think those are generally good questions but the majority of submissions that FDA CDRH are reviewing are for imaging of ultrasound, MRI, XRAY etc, with a sprinkling of audio AI and maybe some individualized vaccines predictions at CDER.

These questions are generally addressed during the pre-sub for each FDA submission but I agree that the demographic information could be pretty infinite. I'm working on at least 5 of these AI submissions per week.

For example, lets say you have an AI submission for identifying cardiac ultrasound images. FDA will ask for very specific demographic information in the training and performance tests, as well as comorbidities (such as hypertension) for each training image. In addition, they will want at least three physicians to annotate the images. The training dataset is likely to contain at least 100-200K images.

You mentioned playing multiple games across your childhood. I did too, and I have fond memories of dozens of them and various styles (platformers, puzzles, FPS, RPG, etc). My son, left to choose, will just play Fortnite. It feels a bit like an adult only watching Marvel movies and ignoring brilliant movies made in other genres, with other pacing, from other cultures. Or eating fries and drinking Coke while ignoring every other cuisine. Bit of a monoculture.

I've played a fair bit of Fortnite Duos with him (or Squads), and don't get me wrong, I can appreciate the design and so on. It's a fun, clever game. The juicing I'm talking about is the chests, and the skins, and rolling in the latest movie co-marketing. And the way it is all stimulus and barely story.

Disagree. I pay for Visual Assist as an individual because its a huge productivity booster. I suspect the issue is pricing vs perceived value.

Making it easier to take bicycles should be a priority IMO (and would carry less risk of disturbing other passengers). For a country that has good public transport and is often quite environmentally-conscious, it's disappointing that taking a bicycle on a train is harder than almost anywhere else in the world.

What kills me is baseball, where for many years the MLB had a clear and unambiguous policy: no betting on baseball.

Now every game has an official "betting on baseball" sponsor (in various forms) but they still have people on lifetime bans. It feels hypocritical.

For sports like horse racing, boxing, and golf where they are more adult oriented and closely linked to gambling that is one thing. But baseball, football, basektball, and hockey are supposed to be wholesome entertainment but every broadcast feels so seedy now.
I understand, but the server (dns like) still knows everything which is not good imho
> Is a smart contract better than a written contract? Maybe it is, if there is no functioning judiciary to adjudicate contractual disputes.

This doesn’t seem like it could possibly be true without something like an outside force requiring use of the blockchain. For example, if my neighbor uses some of my land, who cares if I say it’s not valid according to someone’s computer? If the local legal system is inept or corrupt, who’s going to do something about it? In almost all cases the local control of state power wins.

This is especially relevant when you think about the long history of how lane has historically been stolen by tricking or threatening people, bribing surveyors, or by making promises which aren’t kept. Blockchains not only improve none of those situations but also add new ones like tricking people into using exploitable smart contracts or phishing their transfer approvals.

You can probably fire 4/5ths of any company and they would survive. But that doesn't mean only 20% of the people are working
You'll lose parts of the businesses. You will fall to grow. Things would take longer to get done.

I found that I enjoy rhythmic brown noise better than pure generated brown noise. Airplane cabin is my go to.
One of the interesting aspects of blockchain for many scenarios is that it makes the ledger of ownership or whatever universally available.

Hopefully with some of the charlatans going bust this will transform back into a technology instead of some bizarre religion.

The real reason is that there are free alternatives. For many people, “free and open source” is the same as just “free”.

Again, I can fix most things on my car. I can afford the tools needed. But I don’t want to because opportunity cost.

One thing I have always found weird is the whole, “hey can you look at my computer? It is all slow” is considered okay to ask anyone in IT, but it (at least in the circles I was raised) inappropriate to ask a mechanic in the family to work on your car, the accountant to do your taxes, the plumber to replace your toilet.

And even with mechanics, some like to work on specific cars as a hobby, much like an engineer might want to play around with ML and work on a CRUD app for pay.
It's unfortunate when companies fail and I hope I am not coming off as celebrating their misfortune but I love this trend of companies open sourcing their products when they are unable to continue with their existing business model. I feel like it gives their products a chance to continue a positive legacy.

I've recently noticed a couple of companies open sourcing their product upon discontinuing the company -- is this a new trend or has it happened for a long time and I am only just recently noticing it?
I think the assumption is that 80% of the workload can safely be dropped on the floor, that the resulting 80% of results is sufficient to survive. However goofy it is to apply that to Elon's haphazard cuts to SRE and administration etc, the premise is not crazy. There's certainly no suggestion of multiplying the workload of the remaining employees by 5.

Focus on the distributed aspect of it. What does distributed mean to you? In fact if you look at blockchain itself it's not dostributed in the sense that you need all the blocks to verify current state.

The innovation is that 2 parties that don't know each other and don't trust each other can transact without a central authority and without trusting eachother.

Has blockchain been around for 10 years? Most of this time was spent in obscurity or making it super hard for the average joe to distinguish useful tech from scams.

Also think about neural nets. How long have neural nets been around? Did we figure interesting new ways to use them in the current AI/ML cycle?
Separate topic so replying in a separate sub thread

The clients are not always on, iOS and Android don’t like background processes, connections go down, battery runs out, etc. I understand how to build always on clients but it’s not a practical solution.
>The problem with liquid cooling, ultimately, is you're still dumping to air.

There's a lot of things you can do outside of a server chassis that you cannot do inside of a chassis. You can have heat exchangers with far more surface area than what you are volume constrained to inside of a chassis. You can run evaporative cooling towers. If you're in the right climate, you can even radiate that heat to space.

>You're actually doing not much more with liquid cooling than just changing where the heat concentration is located.

You're using a more efficient heat transfer medium which does a lot of things for you. You can downsize your chiller tonnage, reduce/eliminate CRAC/CRAH units, and all the UPS required to keep those systems running. All of this translates to CAPEX and OPEX savings.

>Unless your radiator is outside of the building itself, you're dumping that waste heat right back into the system over time.

No one is suggesting that you can plonk some servers into a tank of liquid and the thermal energy magically disappears. Of course, there has to be a thermodynamic "sink" that you are dumping to... the atmosphere, the ocean, the ground, space, etc. Liquid cooling is more efficient means of transferring heat from source to sink.

I think modern darknet markets use smart contracts for escrow, so that you don't have to trust the escrow arbiter to not run off with your cryptocoins.
Tim didn't mention a contemporary sibling tech at AWS which should not be thrown out with the bathwater: private (centralized), immutable, signed ledgers. Their version is called QLDB and does have concrete applications where you need an provable audit trail of a stream of transactions with search and index on top. I was on a team at a fintech closely engaged with AWS to prototype a money movement system using that as a central ledger. There's an open source one with similar properties on GH somewhere, also.

It's not sexy like blockchain so it seems marketing had to slip in some Quantum to bump the buzzword sex count.

If financial industry regulators were serious about catching laundering or book cooking, they would demand this kind of tech as a foundation of compliance reporting.
Yeah, I was part of the Z-410/ZEVO beta. It was exciting at the time, quite responsive to our concerns, solid progress. But things fell through with funding or something went wrong in the company I guess. I'll always kind of wonder what might have been on that too, if crowd funding had been a bit more developed maybe. Another smaller layer of "maybes" added on top of what might have been with Apple I guess. It didn't help either that was right around when Apple was abandoning the Mac Pro. IIRC OpenZFS was just starting to kick off around then, still years too early to be of any help to ZEVO.

>A while back I moved to just running ZFS on my home lab machines and then exporting over the network to use as necessary.

Yeah, it's a decent approach for desktops in particular, and made better by the plummeting cost of higher speed LAN connections. 10 Gbps is cheap and easy at this point, and even faster is getting there. I'm glad to still have O3X around for portable systems though.

Your username is utterly unacceptable. Children should not be sexualized and you’ve gone even further than that by sexually objectifying them. Do not continue down this path. Turn around. Go back. Fix what you need to fix. The self-loathing and worthlessness you feel right now is unfortunate but it’s an accurate assessment. You need to improve because your current state is unacceptable.
Really cool command, although for some reason I find the brown noise it generates to sound harsher than the one from this website[1] for example.

The command I'm using is `play -c 5 -n synth brown vol -20dB`.

And I also got a pair of cheap "gaming" headphones from Amazon that fit over my ears and are quite comfortable to wear for long periods of time.
The brown noise is great because it completely blocks out every other sound without needing to be at a really high volume. I also find it quite soothing, as it sounds like I'm sitting somewhat near to a waterfall.
well this gives me hope that the solemn attitudes surrounding recreational mathematics is just math kayfabe and I'm not actually nuts.

Although I will concede those are not mutually exclusive claims.
Another problem is that the better employees can move to better jobs more easily. So when management becomes a problem, they'll move elsewhere, and that will inspire more employees to leave.

You end up with the less productive employees remaining.
I'm curious if you have a theory or explanation as to why some pings appear to be asymmetric. For example for the following cities, it seems West->East is often faster than East->West:

Chicago London New York

London 108.227ms — 72.925ms
New York 21.598ms 73.282ms —
Even digital goods are pretty limited because you need a situation where both parties honor the system. If that doesn’t fall naturally out of the model you need something like a government enforcement to prevent cheating.
Nah, Iger's got this. He just wants to retire, though.

Iger put Disney on the right path after Eisner. He fixed a lot of the issues animators were having and put creative decision makers in the right places. Marvel, Star Wars, and Disney+ are just a few of the highlights of his bigger impact. He fundamentally understands the direction of the business. (So long as it doesn't get disrupted by AI/ML, which could cannibalize franchises.)

Iger wanted to retire, and he picked one of his subordinates to take over. He picked very wrong.

Kevin Mayer and Peter Rice were other picks that got snubbed. Meyer became the short-lived CEO of TikTok US (and left after the Trump admin threatened to shut it down), and Chapek got rid of Rice.

Chapek bungled LGBT / Don't Say Gay, and for the former head of Parks didn't seem to manage COVID right.

Iger's biggest mistake was Chapek.

It's good to have Iger back. But he has to find a new replacement.
Isn’t that the point?

You use a liquid to transport the heat from denser compute (lowering costs), then run it through a high efficiency radiator (eg, drip/spray towers like with industrial AC). Your compute is denser and your interface with the air is more efficient.
Better, but just last week a test upgrade failed even using their own docker image and docker compose file.

Why? Because you can’t upgrade between major versions. If you do, part of the software is upgraded and the rest is not. Now you can’t go back either, because the persistent config directory has been modified in the process. There are countless posts in forums about failed upgrades (including this).

I have tried bare metal and docker, and the upgrades have failed once in a while. I am not sure if the snap version is any better.
Even if Twitter survives, I think we'll find "survive" is a far cry from "provides ROI for $44B". Anyway, there's every indication that Elon took no particular effort to keep the "right" 20%. Also the whole argument is much more tenuous when applied to ops and moderation staff, rather than "software engineers". It's the loss of ops staff that (to me at least) seems most likely to kill Twitter.
My younger self would have loved to see this. I obsessed over the Joukowski sections when I was very young, but never really managed to understand their derivation until much later. This would have pointed me in the right direction.
> I understand that companies need to innovate to keep their edge

This is fine if a user can opt out of the “innovation”. Fortunately things like old.reddit.com and https://mail.google.com/mail/u/ exist. The major downside is both of those truly are frozen in time and don’t get features that I do want backported (reactive layout, for example).

We’re in a weird period of time for computing where you can’t go back in time and relive an experience. I can boot up a Windows 98 machine with a Sidewinder game pad and play pinball like I did 25 years ago. I can’t (ever again?) view my iOS lock screen with the same font that was used just 4 months ago. FOSS + desktop applications may be the only ecosystems that allow the clock to be rolled back.

[caution old man yells at clouds]
There are so many comments I started to write, re-wrote, deleted, etc. I have largely the same view of the complexity hell-scape we're creating.

I can't access the vendor binary blob software that has to run to bring up my CPU and system devices. I can't comprehend the 20 million+ lines of kernel running on it. I can't comprehend what instructions I'm running because the ISA spans several volumes. It's not like the 6502 - which you could keep in your head. I know there are all sorts of subsystems that can take over at any time, like the BMC. The drive firmware is free to ignore some of my requests, or lie to me about completing status. When I do write code in C, I can't guarantee that the disassembled code resembles my actual code (I got schooled in that by clang, again, recently). And the CPU isn't obligated to run it in that order. All this was in pursuit of slightly more performance.

And what do we do with that computing substrate? We add layer upon layer of abstraction. To the point where we can talk about server consolidation for a hot 5 minutes after a new generation comes out. But then, five minutes later, we need even more servers. C is too slow to write in. Let's move to Java. Java's too slow. Let's move to Node... but that's not good, let's have a whole infrastructure to transpile JavaScript to JavaScript. Only 12 gigs of dependencies from 53,000 random repos in Github. Write the back end in Java... no Python... no whole programs are too slow... go with web functions. Then a whole other virtualized infrastructure so we can tolerate the loss of a data center, availability zone, or even a Geo. Can we run it in space??? What if the earth blows up? How can we track peoples' browsing if all the world's data centers are destroyed, unless we also run it in space?

Sigh...
