Right. In that vein, it wasn't the 32 bit limitation that was the real problem. It was the inescapable 32 bit limitation built into the design that was the problem. They could have spent a few bits to version the packet format, for example, which would have at least provided an escape hatch. Or heck, a single bit: Value of 0, known original format. Value of 1, unknown format (or known future format, to be parsed by some future IP packet decoder, but which errors out old decoders).

And they repeated the same mistake with the IPv6 design by not making it an evolution of or backwards-compatible with IPv4.

Literally neither of these was built with scalability in mind.

The article is about Intel, so what do you believe the purpose of Intel is if not for profit? What do you think shareholders expect to gain?

You're correct in the common-sense interpretation of the phrase "open source", but unfortunately groups like the Open Source Initiative have redefined it to mean "anything on a list of licenses we approve" I.E. GPL/MIT/BSD. Personally I think that people trying to enforce this definition in online discussions are wasting their time, because it'll never catch on. We should stop trying to make "fetch" happen.
People are entitled to setup a company with any aims that they wish. In Intels case, as with many other businesses, investors have bought the shares in an expectation of the maximum possible return on investment. Delivering this is also the responsibility of the board as enshrined by law.

No, not literally. But a "9/11 coverup" suggests a coverup about the substance of the events on 9/11, rather than a coverup about the extent or manner of intelligence operations that preceded it. Calling it a "pre-9/11 intelligence gathering coverup" would be more helpful.
Shareholders are the primary consideration in every company, above the C-Suite and employees. Not surprised Intel keeps paying dividends (significantly reduced even). If they don't, good luck raising money from the capital markets to fund those insanely expensive chip fabrication plants.

I know cultures are different in different places, but in corporate America this post is all red flags. Always Sunny is hilarious, but I sure wouldn't want to be sitting in HR explaining "the implication" to someone who has never seen the show.
I think you're reading a little too much into that. I think it's worth comparing it to other forms of evidence. It's incredibly common in civil disputes for one party to give untruthful evidence, sometimes out of malice, sometimes simply due to the human psyche (plenty of evidence of people believing falsehoods after all). Likewise, tampering with physical evidence is far from new - tampered photographs have been going around for over a hundred years, while altered financial records and planted drugs are seen in a court somewhere every day. Practically then, the status quo appears to be that if a prosecutor or litigant has done some due diligence and have a good faith evidence based conclusion that the evidence has not been tampered with (by e.g. having the cameraperson swear under oath that the video is an accurate representation of what they saw), then they will be allowed to present it, and that won't change with the proliferation of deepfake video and audio.

At that point the reliability of the evidence may of course be called into question, as with any evidence or witness. The question mark would be whether it was convincing.

Interesting side note on crypto:

> Early crypto liquidity came from ransomware. The existence of a pool of desperate, panicked companies and individuals whose data had been stolen by criminals created a baseline of crypto liquidity because they could only get their data back by trading real money for fake crypto money.

Is that even true, and if so, documented and quantified somewhere?
I believe Nikon and Canon both (Canon certainly) absolutely have had this available for at least a decade or more, with hardware modules for their cameras that were able to cryptographically sign raw images to attest that that signed data was direct from the sensor. Was a huge concern once digital cameras became sophisticated enough to use in law enforcement.

Technology used to have a trickle-down effect, but that is no longer true. The difference between the ultra-rich and the middle class has never been close to this pronounced.

People need a job to earn money they can later pour back into the economy which is just supposedly keeps on growing (as if continuous growth could be sustainable). A 100 years ago a village was working hard at harvest, now a GPS-guided combine harvester does the job. Sure, we could made up a few new jobs, but many office jobs never made sense (did we really ever need that many layers of middle-management? Their personnel alltogether are not needed).

Realistically you want a little bit of A and a little bit of B as well.

The best is a senior engineer who can spit out the skeleton of B for junior engineers to work on; at the end of the day, sometimes parallel workstreams are more effective, and relying too heavily on a senior engineer can create a bad bus problem.

The world is virtually dependent on burning carbon right now, so it' difficult to work around. The world really doesn't need AI, so if we already see it as a catastrophic risk, it doesn't make sense to forge ahead with it.
It's easy to poke holes in any protocol, so I usually just stick to conceptual flaws (oversights that are obvious to someone who hasn't seen the implementation). These are the biggest for me:

* TCP should have been a layer above UDP, not beside it. Or UDP and the urgent/out-of-band option in TCP should have been equivalent. This would prevent the blocking of UDP in corporate networks and countries trying to stop P2P networks.

* Both the network address and checksum should have been variable-length.

* NAT should not exist, because variable-length addresses would have negated most of its usefulness (other than for censorship).

* TCP should have been designed for networks with high latency (minutes/hours/days) to be ready for use in space. Optimistic delivery (is this the word?) should have been used instead of handshakes, but this might have required encryption from the start, to prevent sending sensitive information to the wrong recipient before it's verified.

* Address negotiation should have been built-in, so that peers IDs stay connected if the network changes, regardless of their IP addresses. TCP is a connected protocol (unlike UDP which is connectionless) so this was never really considered, but connected protocols simply don't work on the mobile web without yak shaving or embedding the stream in a tunnel that handles reconnection.

These issues are all severe enough that we probably shouldn't be using TCP directly. I know that they would haunt me had I designed it. It would be nice if the web provided a WebSocket that wasn't terrible, that handled everything mentioned above. Also I wonder if we scrapped all NAT workarounds, what it would take to provide something mathematically equivalent to direct connections, perhaps with homomorphic encryption, through open matchmaking servers kind of like Tor exit nodes.

Edit: I forget to add why these discussions are important. There's a tendency today to drink the Kool-Aid and assume that standards are perfect, when in reality they are often highly-opinionated, which creates a heavy burden on people who think differently. Flawed standards are a form of injustice.

> Suddenly there's no more reality," he said. "And that is really worrisome because I don't know how we reason about the world.

That seems a bit hyperbole. Sure, it's a regression compared to the state of five years ago. But in the bigger picture, it's only been a bit over a decade that recording devices have become omnipresent, maybe 50 years since retail-grade hardware has existed at all. It's not like humanity has no experience in dealing with situations where there's no (reliable) video evidence. For the longest time, hearsay was all we had. And it's not like we couldn't 'reason about the world' back then.
Haha, fair point :)
Some good answers in the sibling comments. Perhaps the canonical example in the human body is the spinal column. It is extremely flexible with many degrees of freedom, while remaining stable to external shocks. This is because it has many small muscles connecting vertebrae to each other, over both short and long ranges (you know, kinda like a skip list).

Yoga is a great choice for layout here. In my own terminal-based projects, I was initially worried that there would be a mismatch between its intended use (pixel-based layout) and the chunkiness of character-based layout in terminal apps, but I was happily proven wrong. Yoga is a great choice for laying out terminal apps.

I wish there was as nice a library for cascading style sheets in terminal apps, but we can't have it all.
Suggestion: Add selected chemicals A to the water. Select chemicals A to add that will attach fairly strongly to the chemicals B want to remove from the water. Now the chemicals B don't want in the pure water have joined (bonded) with added chemicals A to form larger molecules C that have a harder time than chemicals B flowing through the pores in the membrane. So, can use membranes with larger pores that the pure water can more easily flow through and still block relatively large chemicals C.

Anyone try any such thing so far?

One reason to keep an eye on Julia if you are envisioning a long and varied career in the broader computational / data science world is that its not at all clear which will be the leading platform going forward (Python, R, Julia or something else altogether).

This ambivalence might sound absurd on the face of the exponential recent growth of Python (which apparently enticed even some people with serious mojo to get into the act) but take two steps back with me and look at the big (if still hazy) picture:

We are going through a remarkable period where complex algorithmic applications left academia and research labs and diffuse into mainstream society and the economy like never before. This process carries enormous risks and opportunities, which are currently basically... ignored (well, the risk side).

Despite its undeniable strengths and loveability, Python is actually a poster child of the move-fast-and-break-things phase. It is not necessarily best placed for the next phase. The next phase will invariably see a re-examination of all aspects of the stack and qualities that will be prized will be those that eliminate the frictions and risks associated with the large scale deployment of algorithms. The stakes are high, which means there will be plenty of resources seeking to create reliable platforms. The future need not look like the past.

None of the usual suspects ticks all the boxes. In fact we don't even know all the boxes yet. Depends how fast and how seriously models and algorithms get deployed at scale. Python, Julia and R have been propelled forward by circumstances as the main algorithm-centric platforms, and they have each their various warts and blessings but the near and mid-term future will test how well they can deliver on aspects they may have not be designed for.
This particular maker-builder loves clean-up work. Yes, it's great when you have a free hand to design something beautiful and new, but it can be even more satisfying to begin with a mess, dig through the crud, find the heart of the machine, and polish it to a gleam. If you start with a perfectly clear vision, it is easy to feel disappointed by the rough edges and unpleasant quirks which inevitably creep into the finished product - but when you start with something ugly, which your work then uplifts, the result might be more than you hoped for.

> There have been truly godawful social media systems out there, like Nintendo's Miiverse or the old Dark Souls message system. They're still immensely fun to use, though - mostly because of the culture of their userbase.

I think large, modern, free social like TikTok are often built to be more to be advertiser-friendly, and that prevents such a culture from emerging in the first place. Curation and moderation -- natural ways are to form a bond or culture with other users are prevented by TikTok since the default feed is a stream of videos (and according to the article, selectively controlled by ByteDance). Another thing that these platforms are sneakily controlling is hyperlinking itself -- you cannot actually post a link in a comment on TikTok or Instagram.

Well, hopefully users read the article and discover new ones! Not sure how old you are, but my understanding is that TikTok and Instagram are pretty much the places to be for teens and college students in the US -- they are basically the Facebook for this generation. And you can't even post a hyperlink on Instagram.

Seriously?

The Korean war cost something like 20-30 billion/year in today's dollars [1]. That's just the military expenditure, not counting lost income from alternative uses of manpower and material, veteran care etc.

The bill for the Vietnam war was $120 billion. [2]

Iraq: $1.1 trillion. [3]

Afghanistan: $2.3 trillion. [4]

Can you even think of something hypothetically worth stealing from any of those places which could even just come close to covering the costs?

The only remotely plausible candidate I can come up with is Iraqi oil. At the time it was indeed a common refrain from the usual suspects that the US was only there to grab the oil. But that's not what happened. Iraq's 2005 constitution made it clear that Iraq's oil belongs to the Iraqis, who have since adopted a fee system under which oil companies get a few bucks per barrel (something between $1.6 and $6), and the rest goes to Iraq. [5]

For reference, a barrel currently trades at around $75. Iraq made more than $115 billion on that arrangement during 2022. [6] Even if you generously assumed that oil companies got 10% of that, and that it was all profit, and that they are all American (not even remotely true [7]) it would take a century just to recoup the cost of the Iraqi war.

If that's your analysis then it is even less sophisticated than the article. Everything exists in balance. These layoffs are strategic the company isn't under water. The juxtaposition of either keep employees or pay dividends, but not both, is not useful or even remotely realistic. Investors are still important and need to be paid for their money. And if Intel shows that it can't support investors, then who will invest in the future?
The latter is more straightforward atm, but imagine the Linux kernel is equipped with GPT. So whenever you run into a problem you can simply ask it for solutions! That would help with the adoption of Linux IMO.
