Oh, we always have a test environment :) Sometimes its also called prod.

Ive had the displeasure of having another team write the Cloudformation scripts, and they wrote them in such a way that none could be redeployed, or changed. And since they're domain joined windows machines, effectively un-redeployable.

My first start, which died in situ, was to do the work to get stage up and running, and then clone stage into prod and changing the DNS and naming bits. Since this was a no-go, ended up piecemealing everything. It still stings too. We're nearly done and ready to go live as well. Ive been pushing for live since November. But when a single person speaks out, "delays get delayed by meetings to discuss in meetings to have meetings about delays" (note: I'm not making this up)...

I shouldn't complain too much. A good 4h a workday is filled with gaming and stuff, since the enforced delays and "hurry up and waits" require me to literally do nothing. But when I do work, I'm going at the 5-10x speed I'm accustomed to going. But when it takes weeks to open up SMB from internal machines to other internal machines... there's not a lot I can do to fix broken process.

And, I'm just a lousy contractor out of hundreds of thousands.
oh hey - it's my paper! If anyone is interested in exploring these ideas, feel free to get in touch (@johnjhorton, https://www.john-joseph-horton.com/). FWIW - I think it would be really neat to build a Python library w/ some tools for constructing & running experiments of different kinds. I think the paper only scratches surface of what's possible (esp. once GPT4-ish has an API).

I’d guess that the top tier of S3 physical storage is all SSD, and hardware-driven encryption on such devices is virtually free, as well as desirable for lifecycle reasons.

To allow this to double as ”user level” encryption you need to coordinate & manage the keys used vs. just picking something random when the drive is formatted. This is how Apple’s and others’ full-disk encryption has worked for years.
Two interesting points from Greenwald:

Depends on the motherboard/UEFI, the CPUs (as far as I know, if you have any docs that say otherwise I'd like a looksie) still support it.
And (at least parts of freebsd) inside all of Apple's devices.
Code reviews should be at least a chance for other team members to learn the code - and take responsibility for it. If there's a bug they should have spotted it and the heat no longer falls entirely on you.

Tests similarly are about allowing other people to change things without fearing that they will break the code you wrote. Without them the pace of change becomes very slow or very buggy.

It's just working with other people that's more complex than working on your own.

The meetings are usually because nobody has enough information or enough authority to get things decided. We can fix that sort of thing up to a point in many ways including the agile idea of having a product owner to prevent stakeholders annoying developers.
I was also confused by the collection. I suspect there are different ways companies end up on this list. e.g. pays very well, is doing very well (times are good when times are good), better than other much worse companies in the sector, etc.

Just like the thesis of the slime mold talk, the talk itself is a result of the slime mold and doesn't particularly represent any company-authoritative take on the situation.

>But successful projects at the scale these companies need are few and far between.

Back when I was an industry analyst, I still remember a conversation I had with someone at IBM. I don't remember the context and don't quote me on the number but he said something to the effect of "If it doesn't have the potential to be at least a billion dollar business, we're not going to even try."

Basically every project consumes some slice of attention, time, and money up and down the line. You can mitigate this to some degree with decentralization but only up to a point.
That is truly a great question(!) -- because for rigorous testing/verification purposes, it is not merely enough to code what is necessary to support a target language -- round -trips (transpilation + reverse transpilation)

must match the original identically

(formatting aside -- and/or sent through a deterministic code formatter on both sides, pre and post...).

Otherwise there is something wrong (or potentially wrong!) -- in the transpiler and/or target language and/or the data model of the target language... and the tiniest error could potentially turn into something way bigger later if not addressed at that stage...

I am curious how it round-trips, too!

Anyway, excellent question!

>I read a hard copy that was passed around my high school in the early 90s...

Slightly veering away from the subject. But your comment reminded me of 'The Little Red Schoolbook' --which was the [supposedly banned] book that we all passed around in school. Although being sadly older than you, this would have been the early 80s. I wonder if anyone else remembers it?

As I recall it was pretty subversive in content, with sections on sex, drugs and anrachist politics.

EDIT: Seems it was quite well-known after all. Wikipaiedia has an article on it:

Science is about testing over and over. This small study is just one step.

Where did you get 95% from anyway? This limited study has more evidence for its conclusion than you do for making the statement "Scientists will never admit to this but about 95% of published research..."
The esp32-6 is a great example of why these types of clients are never good Wi-Fi citizens - it supports about half the Wi-Fi 6 enhancements a normal client would, does it with a single antenna, and only does it in 2.4 GHz. Better than previous microcontrollers doing 802.11n for sure but it still includes Bluetooth anyways and Bluetooth has more powersaving/congestion avoidance features unless you need lots of data (which this is not good at doing even with Wi-Fi). Even with things like RUs Wi-Fi is still only as good as the worst clients in the airspace let it be.

802.11ah (Wi-Fi HaLow) was intended to serve these types of devices in a separate spectrum with a very different set of features (and 802.11ax later brought some of these features over for normal clients to take advantage of but ignored many specific to IoT only use cases) but it never caught on vs LoRa and Bluetooth.

Anyway, yes, hippies have been talking about chem trails for years. While you can call it a 'conspiracy theory'. Reality is -- they are doing weather modification, and have been for years. Maybe it's a matter of semantics for you. But the reality is, they are releasing chemicals (silver iodide), via aircraft, into the atmosphere. That's a fact.

As to claims of malfeasance. Unknown. I myself, and perhaps your 'wook' friends, have a problem with dropping chemicals from aircraft on unsuspecting populations. Who knows what the long term health impacts of that are. Probably some of that school of thought goes back to a time when they were using DDT on mosquitos. That turned out real well.
Very interesting.

Anyone has any idea about the technology that could be used for imaging more dense ICs and multilayer PCBs? In a presentation elsewhere, Ken says that he used a metallurgical telescope and USB microscope. So the imaging is done with visible light and limited resolution. It is enough for old chips, e.g. the 8086 discussed in this article is made with a 3um process.

As I look around I see recent Intel chips haven't been reversed. [0] There are allusions to x-ray tomography and electron microscopes [1]. Anyway a plebs can get close for cheap?

I'd question the implicit assumption that Google being slow is even a bad thing.

Google owns large chunks of the markets they are in, they are not a startup but at the very top. If you're in that position you pretty much want to maximally exploit what you have and simply make money, there's no comparative advantage to prioritize exploration.

You'd basically want to be more bureaucratic, not less, given that bureaucracy is nothing else but the rational allocation and organisation of resources. If you own everything, making things slightly work better will net you a lot of profit.

I think there's a chance they might be able to recreate some simpler work if they make the prompts specific enough. When you set up a prompt you're essentially telling the system what you want it to generate - if you prompt it with enough specificity you might be able to just recreate the image you had.

Kind of like recreating your image one object at a time. It might not be exact, but close enough.

Totally agree. The non-fun parts are usually the parts that you have to pay someone to do. I work on a pretty complicated piece of software with some interesting technical challenges. But, the most valuable things I can work on are around collaborating with other teams, integrations, and reliability. Would much rather work on some of the unresolved technical challenges. But, that’s more hobby work, not work work.

Historically, yes, as an aspirational goal. Even if, in practice, a lot of people didn't want to or didn't get around to creating a doc to go along with the presentation.

That said, I've seen a real trend over the past decade of a lot of people wanting to consume content/ideas/etc. from a slide format rather than reading paragraphs of text. So it's pretty normal--at least for routine information sharing--to create a text-heavy presentation and just hit the high points when presenting from it. Not sure this is even a bad thing for a lot of purposes--especially to the degree people can put together cogent sets of bullet points but aren't that great at pages of prose.

Yea, there are people calling "meal skipping" intermittent fasting. IF is pretty vaguely defined at best and all kinds of things fall under that label.

E.g. Eat Stop Eat, where IIRC you eat normally every other day, and then you eat only 500kcal or so on the alternate days. So that might be done by skipping a meal every other day.

Other people do a daily fasting/feeding window, e.g. 16/8 up to 23/1. The latter basically means you eat only 1 meal a day (unless you somehow manage to eat 2 "meals" within one hour) whereas 16/8 typically means skipping breakfast or dinner.

Yet other schemes are 3 days eating/1 day fasting. Still an "intermittent fast."

I think IF basically just means "any deviation from the standard 3 squares a day eating pattern."

"... on the theory that it's the most accurate way to archive a disc ..."

I won't argue with this but I think there needs to be a qualifier - the most accurate way to archive a disc while using compression ...

Given that an audio cd is encoded in WAV/PCM and we have a WAV file specification, I think ripping to a WAV file remains the gold standard:

"... digital audio extraction software can be used to read CD-DA audio data and store it in files. Common audio file formats for this purpose include WAV and AIFF, which simply preface the LPCM data with a short header ..." [1]

I like the idea that ripping to a WAV file means I never have to rip that disc again.

I use YouTube for technical videos, and to gain other knowledge. And find the best signal to noise there than anywhere else on the internet. Occasionally, I give in to watch sports clips, movie trailers etc which is a decent short distraction. But do try to limit it, so the algo doesn't keep recommending those.

Recently, Youtube is pushing it's "Shorts"(Short-form video) in it's own section that you cannot remove, which is as addicting as you think it is, aside from that, the signal-to-noise is really favorable for me.

Compared to Twitter, Instagram, I find a lot more value on Youtube. The others I already used blocking extensions to stop me from visiting it. As sad and extreme as that is, it's worked out rather nicely for me. I occasionally need to check something, and circumvent it by going incognito, but mostly the blocking is helping me to redirect myself, and build better restraints, and habits.
