More accurately, it was cheap commodity hardware (PCs), and cheap software (open Unix source code, leading to Linux) that rapidly became powerful and "good enough" over time that eventually destroyed both the expensive workstation market as well as most very expensive high-end computing architectures.

For example VMS, there is an OpenVMS finally, but decades too late and still kept behind a gate, ensuring its demise.

Only mainframes survived from the previous era, probably due to their vastly different requirements and customers. Banks/govts for example, have no patience for "move fast and break things" and plenty of money to spare.

The "Worse is Better" piece describes the process from a design/implementation standpoint while the book the "Innovator's Dilemma" explains the process from an economics one.

Coping skills and support.

Coping skills:

- Structured decision-making for medium- and big-things

- Time management

- Timeboxing

- Time blocks

- Timers

- Task management

- Have a simple, algorithmic system such as GTD

- Minimize interruptions

- Performance & goals management

- Dispassionate self-evaluation, self-awareness, and seeking professional feedback at work

- Idea management

- Set aside inessential thoughts, ideas, and concerns

- Mind maps, idea repository, and/or notes

- Writing as a tool for thought refinement

- Think like a lawyer: nuanced word choices' and

arrangements' effects on meaning

- Think like an editor: eliminate and rephrase copy until every word is both clear and necessary

- Think like your audience: How is this relevant to them?

What do they need to know?

- Accountability, both self and setting up external forcing
functions

- Sharpen interpersonal effectiveness

- Active listening - Pausing our thoughts and agenda to

express internalization of another's with paraphrasing and
asking questions

- Meeting management - Encourage quiet voices, slow down

louder ones

- Mentoring - In many aspects of modern life, there isn't

enough of this

Support: Work has a secret support group. Prevalence is 20%+.

In my case:

Methylphenidate and mixed amphetamine raised my blood pressure and did more harm than good.

Atomoxetine side-effects were untenable, including sweating, altered consciousness, urinary problems, and anxiety.

One anti-depressant helps in an off-label capacity, however the sexual side-effects were life impairing.

Treatment resistant depression is also present. 3 antidepressants currently. Looking at medical dissociatives, psychedelics, and TMS.

Perhaps:

Ask for a 90 day supply if that's an option.

Consider the benefits vs. costs rather than making a change because something is difficult. Life is difficult. Difficult things will need to be done.

>Look at all the stuff this generation of workers have built in big tech — the amazing devices in all areas of the market, the progress in electric cars, the massive scale in compute infrastructure that enables most smaller companies to easily spin up entire regions rather than run their own hardware…

The number of people working on these is insignificantly irrelevant compared to the number of people working on the bad stuff.

It's good that the people you highlight exist because they maintain my faith in humanity, but for every engineer that worked on Webb, there are a thousand working on privacy-destroying addiction engines.

My employer can't find people to work on space-based synthetic aperture radar that will be used to monitor and potentially combat global climate change through detecting sea level rise, coastal erosion, and foliage cover (and health) because you can make more money working on an app. We can't pay more because we're funded through grants and apps are funded either through VCs or intrusive ad revenue and intrusive ads generate more revenue than university partnerships and piecemeal contracts from various international departments of the environment.

It's ridiculous because I make so much that I am the cause of gentrification, i.e. "Enough".

But it's not as much as an engineer at Facebook.

> so far in the past like, 15 years, we've shown we're going to keep taxes roughly the same and keep spending roughly the same (continue to grow it year over year)

I would like to bring that into question.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Cuts_and_Jobs_Act_of_2017

> The CBO estimated that implementing the Act would add an estimated $2.289 trillion to the national debt over ten years, or about $1.891 trillion after taking into account macroeconomic feedback effects, in addition to the $9.8 trillion increase forecast under the current policy baseline and existing $20 trillion national debt.

... And of course the time between 2017 and 2023 has been great for the economy with improved revenue growth offsetting the reduction in taxes.
I've had a professor tell the class, in a relatively rare and small course:

> I've been doing this so long that I can't remember which things are easy and hard to pick up for the first time, so you all will have to tell me— if you don't ask questions after each reading, I won't know what to reinforce and you will be lost.

I think that's how it goes for classes that are not frequently taught or haven't been taught before, in almost any subject area.
What is most surprising about this to me is that the iPad screen uses just standard displayport lanes as the interface and doesn't need anything crazy to drive it other than a backlight voltage boost converter. That is useful to know.
You could potentially use a timing-based approach - if the "first" read to the area is fast enough to suggest it has already been demand-paged in then that would indicate someone else already touched the page. Obviously there's lots of caveats, you can't guarantee a page won't be loaded in anyway without anybody touching it, and it also requires the cheat software to touch that section of memory even though it's effectively unused. If you had a good understanding of how the cheat software worked and went about probing your process's memory I suspect you could make it work though (whether the accuracy would be acceptable is a different matter).
Not OP but WFH to me is like living at my workplace. There is no boundary anymore between work and home. This where I work, this is where I live. This gone with WFH. I much rather prefer the physical separation of office and my private home.

There's very little guarantee to where the GitHub-provided runners are executed. There's very little guarantee as to what the auto-updating self-hosted runner binary does. There's very little guarantee as to what the GitHub-provided containers and actions contain.

It is also unsupported - and exceptionally hard - to execute runners without GitHub being available, or to migrate off of the proprietary action descriptor format.

Running GitHub enterprise locally may releive some of these issues, but using GitHub.com with GitHub actions is somewhat of a security and reliability nightmare, unless you trust Microsoft's GutHub with infinite visdom and 100% uptime.

Randomization in initialization seems like a pragmatic thing to do from a 'make the math work' perspective, but a really counter-intuitive thing to do when comparing the training process of our own wetware substrate. I know it's not a fair comparison, but just an interesting thought to me.
I'm actually surprised it's not higher. The Vatican Church owns valuable land in a lot of countries around the world. I was expecting at least a few trillion.

The weird commas are because it's from an Indian site. Indian languages usually count by one, ten, hundred, thousand, and then lakh (one hundred thousand), crore (ten million), etc. That's why there's an additional comma just after the hundred thousands place.

It's odd to think about the danger of such concentrated energy sources. Right now I'd treat a couple gallons of kerosene with way more respect than a battery. But if this battery tech was deployed, it could be more dangerous than liquid fuels in certain ways.
I remember reading a news story about a poor single mom who was renting a room in an extended stay and working in a pizzarea across the street from it.

Does anyone have reliable data on this ? The articles states Alang ships breaking currently employed 15k people for 75% of global market. En Wikipedia source [0] says 30% for 2020 and hope for 60 in the future.

I visited Chittagong a decade or so ago (as part of a non-profit working with child workers) and I can only emphasise what a visceral and horrifying thing this kind of ship breaking is to witness. 10,000's of people (as young as 6/7) working 24/7 in conditions that bear absolutely no respect for their health or safety.

One of the most morally repugnant parts of the Western legal system is the creation of the labyrinthine corporate structures used to to protect the ship owners for any liability as part of their ships being broken.
There is a philosophical discussion to be had about whether 19 physical parameters is "a lot", and another discussion about fine tuning. However, I was primarily referring to the artifical parameters that arise from doing real calculations (renormalisation scale, mass factorisation scale, PDFs etc). These plague pretty much all perturbative QCD calculations, and then particle physicists play games like varying them by a factor of 1/2 and 2 to get something that looks like error bars...

> The only "value" they provide is..

As far as I can see this is mostly an incentives problem. Bureaucratic control of academic hiring has ended up emphasizing the short term measurable (e.g. #of pages published, so-called impact factors, etc.) over the long term, with pretty predictable results.

Medical research in particular is fraught with another set of problems; the default clinical pathway gives a weak at best grounding in science, and even the MD/PhD programs have been gamed to some degree. There are definite counterexamples (lots!) but there are also a lot of clinicians with incentive to produce research but little skill in it and even less time available...
There are so many different metrics that are important in a battery. wh/kg is a key one, definitely, but the standard Lithium Ion battery meets a bunch of important ones.

What's the wh/volume? Maybe it's light but it's huge?

What's the charging rate? Maybe it holds power well, but takes 3 days to recharge?

What's the discharge rate? Maybe it hold power well, but can't release it quickly?

What's the cost per wh to produce? It's a research thing right now, so probably it's incredibly expensive- but that always is the case with new stuff.

This is the hard part with any new battery announcement. They always yell about how this new battery tech wins at one metric, while quietly not mentioning that there's a lot more where the Li-ion wins out overall.

The only "nuance" here is that weak security is "probably fine" in many situations. It should still be acknowledged as weak security.

Most houses don't have locks appropriate for bank. Many people do get by with weak passwords in many situations.

But acknowledging the weakness of this sort of security is still important because a given person has to consider the threat they face (activists who may face repressive state should what good and what bad security is still) and because new exploit method can appear.

>t still completely unacceptable and ridiculous

55 kilowatts is a single car. One car. How many datacenters has your bank? You have a very mistaken idea of computing power and efficiency if you think a Raspberry Pi is more efficient than a server CPU.
Yea, I mostly agree. I feel like a lot of the negativity comes from hobbyists, where an extra hundred dollars does matter.

I think one place that I disagree is while you could do that in a few hours, your average developer couldn’t. You’re now talking about everyone to learn lambda and terraform and whatnot, whereas with a “standard” web server, that people are familiar with, a lot of that is more easily centralized. just throw some annotations and routes are done, vs the arcane api gateway config. The tools and frameworks for lambda just didn’t seem to be there yet.

Fwiw I’m all in on aws, cost was one of the easiest arguments to deflect. Ultimately we needed to show developer velocity increases as that’s the cost that mattered. And security isn’t compromised, which the bigger the company the more roadblocks I’ve seen to just give devs terraform.

There's a computer game about it, you have go to through killing a lot of rats first until you get into the good parts though.
That page explains exactly how to do so, via legal protections.

I am not a doctor. I am not trained in these things. But from the experiences you've stated, I am 99% confident you are autistic.

I highly suggest checking in with a mental health professional (I suggest one that has experience with autism, as otherwise you may get one who doesn't acknowledge its modern definitions) and/or going down the autism rabbit hole online to continue to see if your experiences align with other folks with autism. /r/AutisticAdults is a great place to start. I am also happy to chat privately, email in bio.
I know most people trash on Brave, but honestly, if you disable its crypto features (which is just a click away), it's actually a decent browser that blocks almost all ads I see, even on iOS!

For example, YouTube has no ads in iOS Brave. Since iOS doesn't allow real browsers and extensions, Brave has been a sanity-saver for me.

Pair that with uBlock on desktop and you're golden. 98% of the sites don't break at all either.
The smallest one I can easily find is 10kg.
First I'd like to know the incidence rate. We tend to see a few specific examples regurgitated repeatedly for several years after they occur, which leads me to suspect that it perhaps doesn't happen that often. This is a nation of 330 million people, after all, so it's unrealistic to expect stupidity will happen zero times.
Yeah. Right. We can add it to the long list of ways that tech bros assert their false sense of transferable expertise onto other people. The average startup…whatever person, has never actually asked an expert if standing desks do much if any good. The truth is way more nuanced.
That is subjective and region dependent.

$5 buys you a decent mobile subscription in Hungary (for this use-case). Setting up Automate is just graph editing. It is not much easier to add apps to Slack itself.

> “The chemical reaction for lithium superoxide or peroxide only involves one or two electrons stored per oxygen molecule, whereas that for lithium oxide involves four electrons,” said Argonne chemist Rachid Amine. More electrons stored means higher energy density.

I find it odd and surprising that the limiting factor is electrons per oxygen, not electrons per lithium. Oxygen is freely floating in the air, while lithium is in a fixed amount in the battery. Possibly something about the electrode makes it store a limited quantity of oxygen.
You're very close to a breakthrough there... The first thing you have to accept is that 'critical thinking' is not a thing. There is only thinking. When you have that realization it is much easier to see when a person gets themselves in a situation that requires nonbiased, factual, information based processing to get out of they are exceptionally unlikely to do it as they lack the nonbiased factual data in the first place and likely have no realization it even exists.

And that's not even the hard part. No, that's the easy part.

The hard part is when there is a set of biased agents that keep feeding you bad information that keep you away from that thinking revolution that would allow you to escape the trap. Friends, politics, advertizing, these are all ever present agents that bias you to things like societal norms, to acceptable behaviors, that tell you what to think and not think about. And these are things that you also spread to other people. It's just part of being a society, a civilization.
The same thing could be said of any build system unless you run it yourself and invest a lot of effort in locking it down. Then you have to worry a out what is running in your build system... at some point, this all becomes paranoia.
This is a good summary. Only thing to add is that the Higgs particles are basically oscillations on top of the background value of the Higgs field, just like photons are oscillations of an EM field. In both cases, the field is the more fundamental object, so your question at the end is backwards :)
That makes no sense. You were repeatedly telling me what I had already written. Pointing that out isn't condescension.

Anyway, I was simply pointing out that when I use ebay chat on phone or desktop it looks different from what appears to be a fake chat on twitter. Sorry, for your taking that the wrong way. I hope you have a nice day.
Yup! That’s exactly what I meant. By the time a formal job posting has been written and a recruiter gets involved a hiring manager has generally asked everyone from their star IC to their mom’s hairdresser for a referral.
