> JS got popular coz, well you ain't got fucking choice on frontend and having your then-frontend JS/HTML/CSS designer be able to also do backend is, well, again, easy and cheap.

IIRC, a bigger reason for Node's popularity (at least at the very beginning of its popularity) was the fact that it had event-based I/O, which let a single process handle a lot more in-flight requests than Ruby (where the concurrency model was to spin up a bunch of processes and multiplex across them with nginx or similar).
Good, the less I have to see of their clickbait and the more time my competitors waste watching videos the better. Video has its uses and when it's good it's very very good, but most of the time it's terrible dreck that steals people's time using cheap emotional manipulation.

I've been thinking about training an ML model to detect those 'Pick Me!' poster frames that highlight the e-celeb presenter making some kind of dramatic reaction face and just filter them out of search results. This is partly what happens when SEO types combine with black box algorithms; the lowest common denominator content starts to swamp everything else, a kind of weaponized reversion to the mean.
Would you mind reaching out to me? I'm trying to learn more about how to do OSINT (with that particular slant!).
Adding on, SuperMicro fills more of the 'retail server' niche. There's nothing wrong with this, but it doesn't really fill the hyperscaler niche. There's lots of onboard stuff a hyperscaler doesn't need / doesn't want, and I don't think they really have the same production scale as someone like HPe, Lenovo, or Dell.

Hyperscalers are more likely to want to get OCP equipment or something similar; which might end up being something they bid out to supermicro, but it won't look like the retail servers. As spamizbad notes, the BMC/IPMI firmware is an issue too; it's mitigatable, but something that can run software the owner controls is much preferred (OpenBMC looks nice), if you have the scale to demand it.

Sure, that's a fair take. But it's still the case that not throwing a massive hissy-fit when employees start talking about unionization is a big departure from how other companies handle it.

The EU don't get the fine money.

It goes to the Irish state. The same Irish state whose DPA has been trying to shield Meta through all this.
On the other hand, this seems like an easy way to avoid addressing Europe's lack of it's own tech industry.

If Europe wants more ethical tech, they should make an honest effort to create an environment that supports that. I.e., invest in their own tech industry.

People do this backward.
Variants of this are always stated, and always made false in relatively short order. Many claimed Europe was too interdependent for continental warfare, then WWI happened. No two countries with McDonald’s went to war, and then Ukraine was invaded. Prior to WWII, France was Germany’s largest trading partner. It is wishful thinking to assume that money or financial systems will keep peace — in part because there is massive incentive to invade other countries as means of theft.
That's a bit like saying that motor racing wouldn't be possible without cigarette advertising.

It turns out that banning tobacco advertising did not lead to the end of Formulae 1 and making targeted advertising optional won't lead to end of social media either.
Some problems with that:

Why should I personally pay for the tools I use at work to make my employer money? Should I also buy my own work laptop? My own software licenses? It doesn't make sense.

Then there's also the tax issue, as others have pointed out. I'd be giving post-tax money in a lot of instances, whereas for Google it would have much more favorable tax treatment.

But the biggest problem is that me personally making $1000/year of donations is pissing in the ocean. It accomplishes nothing. A program where every engineer is doing so accomplishes a lot more.

Isn't that the exact point of legislation? Consumers had no choice in the matter, because Meta collected and sold user data even if you had no facebook / instagram account.

Congrats Matt! Very cool to see.

A question. I'm trying to find a tool to visualise and document the evolution of obscure sports (purely because I find the interactions fascinating). It seems that your tool might be the perfect fit, especially the "writing" examples. I was wondering if it would be possible to visualise something along the lines of a quasi-directed graph. Nodes being specific instances of the inception of a "new" sport (hence the date requirement), and edges being the influence on other spots. Multiple edges for each node are possible, and all sports will have a start date and some an end date. I tried[2] with a basic POC but it seems the issue is that the nodes run without an end date, which breaks the dependency visualisation.

One comment. Once logged in I wasn't easily able to get back to the landing page, which had some useful info around visualisation types that I wanted to review.

And a note. I've apologised to a few people who I subjected to a variation on your SQL screener interview question [2], which contained far too much fiddling with SQLite time functions, entirely my mistake in ruining an otherwise great basic SQL test!

Hyperscalers either stick that same ASPEED BMC in their systems or roll their own solution based off USB-over-ethernet and/or some kind of janky I2C hack that is quite frankly an incomprehensibly terrifying safety nightmare of its own.

And by "hyperscalar" I mean "the ODM who actually designed the system".

Both Microsoft and Meta née Facebook hyperscaled their data centers using the AST1050.

If the answer to "am I likely to have to lay this person off soon?" isn't "probably not" then it's good that the company becomes more circumspect in hiring.

The other side of the token is that such a guarantee would help convince more people to accept an offer. I'd personally be hesitant to switch to a less stable job right now, and getting an offer yanked or immediately laid off with minimal severance would be brutal for many. A company providing "we changed our mind" insurance would retire a lot of risk for job seekers - and, if things are going well, it costs them essentially nothing to do.

For one, globalization completely dissolved the threat of nuclear war

That's simply untrue. Europe outsourced its natural gas needs to Russia in an attempt to strengthen ties (ostensibly to avoid nuclear war, among other things). Despite that, no one would be surprised if 2023 had at least one nuclear warhead detonated at some point.
That actually seems like a great use case for AI; identify all videos about (topic), differentiate between high and low quality ones (as preferred by you or people similar to you), abstract the information into conceptual videos or schematic diagrams as you prefer.

I love your book example. I was at my library leafing through books about a subject I know fairly well - none of them were worth my time.

You are making some weird arguments in this thread. I don't understand how you think it's reasonable for employees to personally shoulder the burden of everything they use at work rather than work simply paying for it, which makes a lot more sense and is the way that things are typically done. Start deducting the cost of work tools from employee's salaries and suddenly your employees are going to become very inefficient at their jobs, as they won't want to spend their own money on anything.
Good on you; We need more examples highlighted of entrepreneurs leading the slow-burn (in a good way) types of ventures. Not every business activity fits the go-big-or-go-home Zuckerberg-esque meteoric rise archetype that the Techcrunch-led hype media attracts eyeballs for portraying.
hmm maybe? the repeated references to Object-Oriented structures means partly, that 'code + data + an interface' exists systematically, as the basis for interaction. What you do with that to expose to the human mind is quite flexible (with costs).
RISC-V chips so far have been significantly lower-area and higher efficiency than their closest ARM counterparts, when on the same fabrication process. This has held true for embedded microcontrollers and lower-end application processors. And RISC-V with the newly standardized extensions and Rva-22 profiles seems to have even more potential at the higher end. It obviously won't make a huge difference to battery life, but it shouldn't hurt either.

Meta Fined over $400M in EU for Serving Ads Based on Online Activity
The author seems to have missed that TSMC previously failed to transplant TSMC culture into the USA. In nearly thirty years they probably realized they need more than just semiconductor expertise transfer — they need a transfusion of Taiwanese culture.

One way to do that is to send an entire employee base from Taiwan, but then how do you maintain or integrate in the US? Splitting the employee base in half seems more likely to succeed, probably with process/engineering roles predominantly Taiwanese and more external-facing roles skewing American.
You don't need blockchain for cryptographic timestamp
I guess I have a blind spot around subterfuge, so I honestly don't really know all of the ways that fraud could occur.

But I think stuff like materiality comes into play. If 99% of customers are honest but 1% cheat, then even a high amount of fraud from bad players may not affect the bottom line much. The fee would probably be something like 3-4 times expenses to make up for losses like that.

Also the proxy would be in addition to the vendor's fraud checks.

In this scenario, maybe the $400k vendor freeze happens towards the end of the month, and the proxy stops its monthly payment from the other customers until it's resolved. So the ticket gets top priority at the vendor and they either release the funds or give the proxy evidence of fraud.

The big risk there might be getting tied up in court so all payments freeze. So maybe the proxy would withhold a percentage instead of the whole. There's probably math for managing that risk. Writing this out, it feels like people have been down this road, so there's probably a term for this whole evolution, maybe escrow or something.
It's all imperfect, for sure. For for instance see this old SO question [1], which does not specify python version. I pasted the text of the question and top answer into GPT-3 and prefaced it with the query "The following is programming advice. What is the langauge and version it is targeted at, and why?"

GPT-3's response:

> The language and version targeted here is Python 3, as indicated by the use of ThreadPoolExecutor from the concurrent.futures module. This is a module added in Python 3 and can be installed on earlier versions of Python via the backport in PyPi. The advice is tailored to Python 3 due to the use of this module.

That's imperfect, but I'm not trying to solve for Python specifically... just saying that the LLM itself holds the data a query engine needs to schematize a query correctly. We don't ChatGPT to understand the significance of version numbers in some kind of sentient way, we just need it to surface that "for a question like X, here is the additional information you should specify to get a good answer". And THAT, I am pretty sure, it can do. No understanding required.

> requires continuous free-riding off of the US across a wide swath of sectors including healthcare and tech

There's an element of that. However as this ruling shows (and some of us already realise) the opposite is true too. By illegally profiting off EU data and people, and siphoning all those profits away from the member states, these companies are actually free-riding off the EU population and economy.

Hopefully these revenue models really do become untenable. Maybe then they'll be replaced with more honest business models. Which, incidentally, can include opting in to ads based on personal data if that is what people knowingly choose.

Edit: re the lack of a predictable regulatory landscape in Europe:

This has been shared law for four years across the EU (which I agree is not Europe but the EU is the subject of TFA). It was also heavily trailered prior to that. Or, in simpler terms, it was predictable. And Meta knew this, which was why they tried to override the law with contractual terms.

Perhaps that is a clearer choice of words, but I find it debatable to say this categorically isn't defense-in-depth. Choosing a stronger curve is similar to an additional level of defense, since it mitigates additional theoretical weaknesses that the lesser curve would not. The point of "defense-in-depth" is to add additional layers that mitigate different weaknesses.

Maybe making a stronger layer isn't the same as adding an additional layer, but it has the same outcome, so it feels like a distinction without difference.
