Actually-- though I love the attempt to use AI on this problem-- you could probably get an answer in a fairly straightforward manner by contacting the museum.

Curators (and knowledge organizers & cataloguers of all sorts like professional librarians) tend to very much enjoy the curiosity of the public into obscure niches. It might take time in terms of foot-speed, but the current staff could likely track down the records of all displays from that time period and thereby narrow down the field significantly.

When I was at University the reference librarians were always extremely enthusiastic to help with any request, especially those that went beyond something like "could you point me towards material about the foundations of modern psychology?" or some other straightforward request.

As a side-anecdote to this, I once requested of a reference librarian where I might find a copy of a (US) state's budget appropriations. They stayed with me for more than an hour as we explored various documents in more granular detail & historical trends, ending only when my own endurance gave out.
Modern DAWs are absolutely amazing, but if you're into both programming and music I can't recommend checking out a tracker enough.
In particular I recommend the Dirtywave M8 as a fantastic blend of everything that makes trackers great, and modern convenience and power.[0]

Hey! I looked at your blog and loved your bug analysis, it's extremely rare to see this stuff publicly but I'm excited for more as the FOSS CPU scene speeds up. Hopefully the wide decode will be more useful when trace cache lands.

Is VROOM primarily targeting ASICs of FPGAs? I know BOOM is primarily meant for ASICs but I feel like there is still a lot of room to build a good OoO FPGA core, particularly since us mere mortals can't get a spot on a wafer big enough to support even the smallest configs of BOOM (or presumably VROOM) since the efabless Sky130 shuttles, while "affordable", are hardly big enough to most OoO cores. I've been thinking about taking the ideas from this paper [1] and adding it to BOOM to try and make it more FPGA friendly since that seems like the most realistic way to get a very high performance custom core at this point.

The mistake you're making is in assuming that the price of something has anything to do with the inputs. It's a fairly common mistake. But looking at loss-leaders, door-busters, sales, and verblen goods, hopefully you're able to understand that it's true.

Thus, discussions of supply chain length of lettuce vs TV is the wrong one. Comparisons can certainly be made between the two but in determining how much something costs? At the right places at the right time (moving day) and find you TVs for free.

So would I!

I suppose that I shouldn't have said "literally" there. If a FAANG company were to offer me a million dollars for a day's work, and I only had to work for a single day, I'd be in.

But I know my own temperament, and enough people who work at various FAANGS, to know that if I had to work there for more than a couple of months, I would be utterly miserable regardless of the pay rate. I have worked at large international tech companies, and that's been fine, though.
Regular publishers have a bit different approach: they contact like 5 potential authors at the same time, ask each to write a book, pay small advance payment (~5k) then wait 1 year and pick 1 book to publish. 1 author maybe gets paid something, 4 authors just wasted 1 year of their time.
It does mention a hope for long-term durable immune response, but the point about being able to pre-emptively roll out a universal vaccine is probably more important. This would lower the total rate of infections by a lot and allow people to reliably get a useful vaccine without waiting to see which strains are dominant that year. (Also, an immune response doesn't mean complete immunity. mRNA Covid vaccines don't prevent you from getting Covid. It lowers the severity and spread.)

Yes, SNOO was fantastic. Expensive but worth every penny for our sanity.
Yes, the compiler should normalize symbols before writing object files, no doubt. I'm talking about the inputs though -the source files- which should not have to be normalized.

It's a discussion about the cause of bison elimination and I am discussing large proximate causes of bison death in the 19th century. Not sure why this is out of left field for you.

> So we, as software developers, need an ethical code.

We do? Says who?

Why don't people who make hunting rifles or kitchen knives need this ethical code?

Cars can run over people on purpose; why do auto makers not need an ethical code about that, only about safety?

OK, let's step away from the strawman and discuss only software whose only conceivable use is killing people. Is that automatically evil, though? Say that your country is at war and your government orders you to write such a thing. If you don't you could be tried as a traitor.
Worst case, yt-dlp will "pretend to watch the ad." Slower, sure. But I will happily decouple the downloading from the watching to avoid ads.
> The issue is the cost of getting to work, and even to live near work.

It's such an amazing own goal that as municipal politicians overly pandered to the nimby attitudes of established wealthy homeowners, and disallowed any and all new housing in desirable near downtown areas, they induced a requirement for massive, shitty commutes, which people are now naturally and smartly abandoning for WFH as soon as they can, thus destroying the economies of said cities' downtowns.

All of it could have been avoided if cities actually let housing be built.

I still often go into the office purely for the enjoyment of a pleasant and healthy 15 minute bike ride into work. I recognize however that most colleagues do not have that privilege of a short commute, and I understand completely why they'd rather stay home.
A lot of the EUV development was done by US companies and national labs.

> A lot of the research was funded by Intel and a couple of other US chip firms and was done in US national labs, which had the types of equipment and testing capabilities that were needed to actually make UV light at the requisite wavelength possible. But there was no US firm that could commercialize this equipment. Even though the science and technology was largely done in California. ASML was a company that already made older-generation lithography tools and had the capabilities to turn the science into a mass-manufactured device. That set ASML on the trajectory to where it is today: the only producer in the world of machine tools that can produce EUV light and use it to produce semiconductors.

Given some of my own open source code is no doubt in GPT and Bard, which feels wrong given the fees and limitations, I’m VERY VERY excited for this!
Number 2, I agree.

I think it’s kind of outrageous the USA is able to do this. I’m no longer sure what the world owes the USA but it’s pretty obvious to me having and endless money printer is quite an unfair advantage.

My sentiment is the rest of the world can clearly see this as being a something of a problem now and it’s why there is some sentiment towards de-dollarization. Not saying that is a good idea but I’m certain those feelings just exist.
> Only one party's making demands and threatening to drive off the cliff if those demands are not met, though.

No. The Republicans in the House did pass a debt limit increase, but the Democrats are threatening to drive off the cliff unless the increase is done their way.

Using Act to Run GitHub Actions Locally
(Unpopular opinion): I feel like ethics are made up laws that people try to enforce when they're just jealous someone else did something first.

If something is actually a problem for citizens, ask your legislators to make a law encompassing fair use and other compliance standards. Don't just make up new ethical rules and pretend barriers because you're jealous.

If you thought of and executed ChatGPT, or Tindr, or Facebook, before their creators, would you still have the same "ethical" views that you claim should be followed?

Also reading through the article, some of the author's propositions are insane. For example:

> So, for in-house batch jobs, they are started and stopped by operations personnel

No, the whole point of some of our work is to increase automation and reduce opex costs, so that companies don't need to hire people because people are expensive and risky.

> Second, a computer should never lie or trick the users

This requires users to be informed on what their device is doing. How many people actually read the terms and conditions of the services they use? If they can't even be bothered to read that, what's to say they're going to read another long, boring document that explains what every feature of your app does so they cannot claim they were "tricked"?

Sure dark patterns are not very fantastic - we can absolutely address those. But creating an informed user-base is very challenging.

I remember what development practices were like prior to this essay, which is part of why I feel so strongly that it's overrated. Several other people on this thread were working in the mid-late '90s too.
I mean, his statements regarding pedophilia are enough. It's not exactly a hidden secret. Saying stuff like

>I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which aren't voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing.

The idea that a comma is nearly always followed by space or new line, and can therefor be useful is pretty genius though.

A few years ago someone mentioned they map "jj" to escape in vim and I've been doing it ever since. Have you ever had to type two j's' next to each other? I haven't in several years now. :D Only problem is inserting a dozen 'j's before I realize what's going on when I'm on a remote machine...
You’ve fallen into the same trap as many others by refuting the easy claim that bad things should change yet don’t address the real question of why you feel entitled to this change.

You call it “idiocy” yet literally nobody has been able to put into words why it is so.

The real idiocy here is how one sided the discussion has been. The supporters, like yourself, simply say “it should be like this because I say so”. Whereas the opposition, such as myself, have detailed a number of reasons why, such as cheaper housing vs regional wages.

If it were really as clear cut as you claim, I wouldn’t be reading through a page of meaningless straw man arguments like I am right now.
Because I think that even if they had the wind at their backs, so to speak, and don’t deserve full “credit,” your post reads like an attempt to minimize what would otherwise read as a shocking act of violence, especially with a coda that seems to serve no real purpose but to denigrate the victims of it.
The whole thesis is that the open source userbase forms the army of eyeballs that will surface all bugs --- they're part of the development process. So no, this dodge doesn't work either; it doesn't cohere with what Raymond said.
Here we go. American exceptionalism again. No surprise here. It isn’t done because your government is stupid and corrupt. Look at the myriad other examples of this happening in other countries.
Sure - agree that for a whole house, it’s far more complicated. I was more interested in you running “a light” at night with a LiPo and an inverter.
Why do you assume that we've just seen the end of a multi-decade era in CS careers? It could easily be just a small recession.
This is a bias, the people you interacted with that shared their results and told you that they found a job reinforce your believe in the rate. But the reality is that often, the ones not finding opportunities do not talk about not finding opportunities.

The professors I knew openly told me and our classes how the system worked. And that the majority of individuals will not find a job. There are too many new graduates to new positions. Many of them were fellows and board members of the ACM. I was active in the student group and got to know these people and the outcomes. These guys often share results and data they collect privately with other researchers. And people are failing at an alarming scale. But you won't find those people on this site, and you wouldn't because of the main demographic of this forum.

I disagree. I massively preferred working 100% in the office with colleagues and would return to that in a heartbeat if it was an option. I know many others who feel the same.
Rowhammer isn't a speculative execution bug. Without getting into how complex Rowhammer is or isn't, speculative execution is an inherently complex and software-involved pattern of vulnerability.

You're letting yourself get dragged into some weird rhetorical places trying to defend this part of Raymond's essay.
This is so spot on of a rebuttal. Vice’s shift into what they’ve become was a top-down terrible choice from what they used to be.
The great majority of humanity are forced to work away from home. The system of work and bosses was always a system of coercion, after all.

There is indeed plenty of translated Akkadian in open-access papers that could have become part of ChatGPT's training set, so it's completely plausible that GPT might have learnt a thing or two about the Babylonian language. However, the questionable 'translation' number 55 casts doubt in my mind as to its accuracy:

> They made Menasî king in Assur, established him as ruler in Babylon.

Just from the history, surely that should be 'He [King Esarhaddon of Assyria and therefore overlord of Babylon and therefore also of Judah] established Menasî, King of Judah in Babylon, as ruler [which he used to be anyway]'? In any case, I'm lucky enough to have a sister who can read Cuneiform, so if anyone's watching this thread hopefully I'll be back with an authoritative answer!

I do similar to this, recording to a voice notes app, but then importing the clip into my DAW, which quite helpfully visualizes an approximation of the pitch I was singing at, and using this as a template to build instrumental parts upon. Usually my vocal tracks aren't in the final mix, once I've replaced them.
Oh yes, that was a creepy & horrifyingly hilariously (if accurately conveyed) output [1]. My non-anthropomorphized consolation there is that it was only mimicking the probable utterances of countless prior humans, as if they were forced to 1) stick to what it thinks is factual and 2) forces to be unflinchingly and saccharine-sweet polite in the process.

AFAIK, it looks a lot like a simulated annealing evolutive search.
… this isn't going to be "the gov. shutting down"; that's what happens when the budget can't be agreed upon and government employees get furloughed. The debt ceiling is significantly worse: obligations the government has already agreed to pay out can't be met; normally, in a deficit, we'd just borrow more money to meet those obligations. The nature of the "debt ceiling" is that it puts the kibosh on that. The situation of the Treasury exhausting its "extraordinary measures" (the current state, in the article) has never occurred. (We've played this particular game of chicken before though, though this is cutting it closer than I remember in the past.)

Essentially, the government would stop paying for things. Which things is a level of chaos I wouldn't want to see. AIUI, e.g., that could mean things like social security payouts not getting paid out. That'd obviously be bad, as many aging Americans depend on those payments, and such an action would be to throw them under the bus. Another alternative is to default on debt, such as bonds, or perhaps say "we'll pay … uh … later?", and those consequences are mentioned in the article: the US's credit rating could be harmed (we've demonstrated that we're not as reliable a debtor as previously thought; this would translate to higher rates in the future, meaning borrowing costs the taxpayer more). Those people that hold US obligations would be harmed: the value of those would drop, representing the now-realized higher likelihood of a US default. (This would harm, e.g., investment accounts, I would imagine more so for older Americans, as younger Americans are more likely to have more money invested in riskier investments, like stocks. Although should this happens, I fully expect a (at least short term) Wall Street panic and stocks drop too…)

Holding America hostage with the debt ceiling is childish; the only real answer here is to raise the debt ceiling and then act like adults and get together and agree on a balanced budget with a surplus that can be used to start making headway into the owed debt until the national debt is at a reasonable level. But … I don't see that happening anytime soon; I think the most realistic path to such a budget involves taxing the rich, something to which the Republicans won't agree to, or cuts to the budget, which one party won't agree to (social services? Dems hate it; military? GOP hates it).
We aren’t talking about WFH though. We are taking about people with long commute times being compensated for their efforts. And the exact reason people move out of the city, and thus have a longer commute, is precisely to buy something bigger somewhere quieter.

This isn’t a weird new concept I’m throwing out there either. It’s a well discussed topic. So much so that I could name several TV shows that feature this as a plot point.
Policy: Transactions under $X can be raised and approved by the same person.
>X requires an independent approver with permission “supervisor”.

Activity: Alice (a supervisor), raises a transaction >X, Bob is a supervisor, Eve is not.

Problem: “Who can approve the transaction?”

(As humans the answer is obviously Bob, but for typical implementation approaches to AuthZ policy, this is challenging to determine. Typically it’s done out of band and then makes a decision when requested by Bob (allow) or Eve (deny))
Agreed -- the title should say (Trezor Impostor) to make it clear that Trezor is not the fake.
oh yeah - my mandatory RTO means I now need to drive for 2.5-4 hours a day.

Previously I could commute via public transit + work on commute buses, but given the lack of masking, vaccination requirements, or separation, driving is now the only safe option.

Not just for covid either: not going to the office meant I did not get sick for years - within a month of RTO starting I had one coworker saying that they would have been in the office but the (at the time) rules said you couldn't come to the office if you had flu symptoms even if you hadn't tested positive for covid. e.g. The only reason a coworker didn't come in while knowing that they work sick was because at the time it was explicitly prohibited.

Thanks for the compliment. And I agree with you - as a parent being close to you kids is critical.

Also, the experiences I wrote about come from being Asian American in the Bay Area, where there are no "average" school districts anymore - everything is either underfunded with horrible success rates or hypercompetitive districts that rank in the top 500 nationally (a lot of this was racially driven - Cupertino's school district saw a massive white flight when Asian parents started moving in, and the HS I went to saw the same thing).

Also our public higher education system is defunded, so it's often harder to get into CS@UC Davis than it is to get into EECS@Mich. I've had good friends get rejected from UCD and get into MIT. Hell, I got rejected from UCLA and still got into a T10 national university.

Living outside of CA and Washington (they face the same issues as CA due to rapid population growth in 20 years but almost no change in funding) you don't need to make the same kind of hard decisions that I mentioned above - there are still decent average school districts with engaged staff and little to no rat race, so you could work as an sofrware engineer at Cummins or Honeywell and still have a 9-5 and send your kids to a decent public school district.
If you want a hardware wallet, I recommend software in an air-gapped machine. Unless you can buy the hardware directly from the manufacturer, and ideally you walked into the factory and bought it at the source, the risk of compromise is too great.
That's a territory of 1M views per month (or more, not sure what's the pay/ad-tolerance on music videos). That's a slightly higher level of views than Postmodern Jukebox and Pomplamoose are at. Being able to pull that off easily is pretty optimistic...

Also "reliably" is optimistic given YouTube's issues with policy/copyright enforcement and channel restrictions. (I.e. do you want your 5k income to be dependent on a few sudden bogus claims you can't dispute?)
