My guess is they underestimate the scale at which it's used in most businesses who do and the relative unimportance of the accuracy of the data it holds. It's never going to perfectly capture all details of work because of its inflexibility, but it's better than nothing or not even trying. As long as everyone understands that and nobody is delusionally running around with a trusty clipboard and a whip or rallying for significant change based on it without consulting the people actually entering the data, it's alright.

There's a lot to keep track of. Definitely not my cup of tea either, but it is what it is.
https://www.pbs.org/video/how-much-of-the-universe-can-human... is a really fascinating video to watch about the observable universe.

In some ways it’s depressing that humanity is doomed to only understanding what’s in our observable universe. I really hope we find some way around it.
This movie, at least from the Wikipedia article, doesn't seem to be about the PLA (and rather a historical army?), so does it still count as military propaganda per se?

I bet there is a valid argument that there’s nothing here of any commercial value anymore.

The industry has gone beyond “catching up” to surpassing the values of the Lisp Machine and Genera. Any grand ideas of this era have been considered, and either mined, reimplemented, and exploited or simply rejected as being past their time.

The lack of a Lisp machine or environment like Genera is not holding Lisp (much less the entire modern family of Lisp-y languages) back. And modern IDEs are off the charts, even if they don’t check every single box of what Genera has to offer.

As an industry, we’ve not just stood on the shoulders of giants of the past like Genera, we’ve stepped off and up and moved ahead.

I’ve seen the Genera image that’s floating around, it ran in a VM of some kind. There’s a couple YouTube videos of demonstrations, and maybe I’ve seen the wrong ones, but I’ve just seen them as interesting but not necessarily compelling. It would be wonderful to see a thorough review from a modern perspective.

And, yea, they should set the system free. It’s pushing 50 years old, and we’re in “internet” time, so who knows how much that is in “No one knows you’re a dog” years.
I think the problem with this terminology is that it's not direct enough. Like why do you require people to understand a metaphor (factory -> make things) while coding? Just name the thing makeX or makeXMaker.
The last time I visited SF, I witnessed more crime/violence in 2 weeks than I have in my entire life before or after.

> the final series of game of thrones retroactively killed the cultural phenomenon that it was

I agree with you on the observation. Subjectively I feel the same. I wonder if someone has hard data on this. I wonder if there is some executive somewhere looking at a graph of polling results, or merchandise sales or anything like that and feeling terrible that they have screwed up (at least privately, even if they would never admit publicly).

I believe that the latest few seasons removed from my enjoyment of the whole franchise. It even made the earlier episodes worse, in the same way a flat punch line ruins even the most masterfull lead up of a joke. But does this feeling also appear on the bean counting level? Fundamentally a franchise is a business enterprise with the goal of making money for the owners. Does “ruining” a series this way also effects the bottom line in a way which can be expressed in the accounting?
> I'm not sure what your point is. Are you implying it's justified because Russia is using them?

What I think they are saying is there no reason to get worked up over cluster munitions in Ukraine because they already are.

The main difference between the cluster bombs given to Ukraine and the ones fired by Russia, is the Russian ones are much more likely to have landed in populated civilian areas.
You either have intellectual curiosity or you dont. Colleges will never give that to you.
The people who just learn facts with no understanding don't do well on tests, either. That's kinda the point of the tests. I've seen this in action plenty.

The idea that tests can't test "real" knowledge is simply wrong.

P.S. at Caltech, the science & engineering examinations were all open-book open-note. No need to memorize anything. But you were doomed if you didn't understand the material.

Even for a multiple guess test, the wrong answers are ones one would arrive at if one suffered from the usual misconceptions about how the problem should be solved. The wrong guesses are not random. The people who compose the tests aren't fools.
Billions of dollars and thousands of hours spent on the project. And it’s brought to its knees by a simple traffic cone.
I'm not sure signal actually solves the key distribution issue, it re-issues keys for users semi-often which have a feature to verify the new keys, but most users won't. It also has a potential frontend distribution problem through the App Store (apple/google could be compelled to distribute a compromised Signal App to specific users).

Interesting situation. Musk must have known that losing would mean inheriting the legal bill for the case against him. But conversely they must have known that they would need to be paid before he took over.

Clearly the outgoing execs sided with the law firm and made sure they got paid before the deal took effect. But the law firm took a big risk trusting them with that kind of money!
The much higher rates would be from DUIs, who get put in jail, penalized, etc.
This was fascinating to read. I’m of the opinion that yeah the law firm extracted as much as they could on the day of the hand over. But I’d love to hear the counter arguments.
This looks to be capturing Spatial Video similar to how the Vision Pro does it.

And from people who've used it it's not a full 3D effect where you can fully move your head and see around the scene. Rather it's more like a stereoscopic 2.5D effect where it adds subtle depth to make everything seem more life-like and present but is fundamentally still a fixed 2D derived scene.

That way there is no change to how the content is made.

The point of that tunnel may be to prevent entities that are inside the VPN from sniffing cleartext RDP traffic. If an attacker gets VPN access you want to limit their ability to do damage inside the VPN.

Why not keep the package separate? I also thought of reflect-metadata separately, and it doesn't hurt to allow users to install plugins to augment core compiler behavior.

That is ok, but what is not okay is making rest of society support those consequences.

They didn't say Apple was definitely shooting all shows since the beginning.

Answer in your Wikipedia link:

'At the time of its use, the sodium process yielded cleaner results than did bluescreen, which was subject to noticeable color spill (a blue tint around the edges of the matte). The increased accuracy allowed for the compositing of materials with finer detail, such as hair or Mary Poppins' veiled hat. It was also useful that the "sodium yellow" light (and its removal via the matte) had a negligible effect on human skin tones.[2] As the bluescreen process improved, the sodium vapor process was abandoned, its screen and lamps monopolizing huge studios and incurring a higher cost.'
Sounds like a great idea. I hope Ben and Jerry's leadership do the right thing.
Anyone reading the above comment, that is terrible information. Proper form relates to how you can avoid blowing out your back or knees or other things that are important to you as a human when weight lifting. Mechanically there are ways to put less stress on body parts when doing various lifts. At the most basic level, the ways that put less bad stress and increase also increase your ability to life more weight is what is meant by proper form, not whatever this person is trying to communicate.

A Journey into Hacking Google Search Appliance
I hear this sentiment frequently, but it doesn't match my experience. I sure can relate to the idea, but that was a decade ago. I install a fair variety of Linux distros on a pretty wide variety of hardware between my work and personal efforts, and it pretty much just seems to work these days. The last grief I recall in this regard was trying to run Ubuntu 64 on a Pi4 with Vulkan, but that was a couple years ago when things were known to be unstable. That or maybe doing something obviously inadvisable like trying to change distro on a live system by changing the apt source files on a Debian install to Ubuntu repositories and running an apt upgrade. And honestly even things like that work a surprising amount of the time. I know it's good to be introspective and truthful about shortcomings, but I really have to hand it to all the open source contributors, package maintainers, and all the rest. The modern Gnu/Linux ecosystem is pretty remarkable, in my opinion.
I’ve seen this type of comment multiple times

1. Are there reliable statistics that show SDC are currently more dangerous than the average, non-incapacitated person?

2. Regardless, those people are still driving today and hopefully driving less in a future world full of SDC. I’m just making assumptions (bad idea I know) but I’m guessing traffic mortality goes down when alternative, safer options are more viable
In the US it's trying very hard to appear kid/family friendly. To the point where the Disney+ versions of PG movies and many TV shows have extra censorship (you can look around online for lists of content that's been bowdlerized on Disney+)
Definitely not. We’re pinning to an old version right now because the new one is worse across the board.
I'm curious about the other half of this question. Are any engineers in need of an employer rating system?
AFAIK Symbolics is basically a one-man operation, and the owner has been unwilling to sell the rights to Genera for any price.
The program will be divided into three phases. The first phase will show proof-of-concept studies for safety and efficacy in in vitro studies. The second phase seeks to validate these findings with either fungal or bacterial infections in animal models, while the final phase aims to increase survival in animals exposed to both fungal and bacterial pathogens simultaneously.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like this is just an idea and they still are looking for basic proof of concept as step one.

Good to see this issue is making someone's radar but I'm a little eh on the proposed solution.
You can but it is clunky. Save the email out as an .eml file and open it in an editor. You see all the headers.

Exactly, it's extremely privileged to believe one has nothing to lose, because it implies they won't be that bad off if they fail.

I grew up in poverty and fought to get out of it. I am well aware at any point I could fuck up and fall back into it permanently. I have everything to lose and long term stability is more important than taking risks in the hope they work out.

> there is no interconnection of any kind between any system that knows about city A and B and the systems which know about city C

The AGI, via DuplexAI, could just call up the office in city C and ask. It's been calling restaurants to get their hours for years. Having it call a listed phone number to ask a person about an account doesn't seem far fetched at all to me.
Yeah, my thoughts precisely. Genera is obsolete. I cannot imagine what possible profit could be made. There may be value in the design that could be of benefit even today, but I cannot understand people who hoard old IP.

What a hilariously entitled rich person thing to say.
I swear the 'keep doing what you're doing' must either be the standard HR planted review (I wasn't invited to the HR conference where they learned that!), or it's GD's own spam for pay. I've seen that too frequently at toxic jobs for it to be coincidence.

Luckily, just like Amazon reviews, it's pretty easy to determine worthwhile info from how specific and balanced it is. The aggregate scores are obviously worthless, because either shills or spurned employees taint the mix.

I enjoy when there are responses from the business: that can often show egotistical management that thinks their poo doesn't stink.
> And yet millions of others got an education, roads, internet, etc., and went nowhere.

And millions of others are highly skilled, talented, intelligent, hardworking, and creative, but don't all find success.

This is why luck plays a massive role in the success of any business. That doesn't mean things like skills and initiative aren't important, or that people can't shift the odds in their favor (see for example https://fictivekin.github.io/pmarchive-jekyll/luck_and_the_e...) but ultimately, some people who should succeed don't because they were unlucky and others who do succeed would have failed if things entirely out of their control just happened to go differently.

> Investors don't give you money. They buy a piece of the business. Banks don't give you money, either.

Banks and investors give you money, with the expectation that they'll profit by doing so, but more to the point they give you opportunity. Plenty of people get turned away by banks and investors and if they manage to pull enough money together to get started they can still succeed, but others fail because without that opportunity given to them, they couldn't even get things off the ground.

Employees lose a lot more when their job is lost than just the wages they are owed (which they also don't always get) especially the ones who took more risky forms of compensation, but even outside the realm of compensation there are costs.
I think tech debt isn’t a great analogy for most situations. Usually, somebody did something quick, over architected something or otherwise didn’t do a great job - or did a great job for the time but is now terrible for whatever needs to be done now. Alternately these situations never play out so no cost is ever incurred. The debt “payment” cannot be calculated up front so the analogy falls pretty flat in most cases.

True technical debt analogies are more like introducing something that increases build time on a large team since this is paid continuously.

We just need to accept that in software, sometimes stuff needs to be done that doesn’t have an obvious end user benefit in order to keep the code base viable.
Its not appropriate to answer here in a few lines since France suffers from many issues related to education, a social net that removes incentive to do some kind of work, quotas in certain activities and immigration thats completely uncontrolled. It is a complex set of problems yet the conclusion is not that France needs to import more workers. Its rather an issue on how existing resources are allocated.

This is precisely the reason why narrative storytelling cannot work in VR (other than a simulated movie theater). The reason is that a TV show or movie presents a point of view by its creator and you, the observer, isn't meant to interact with a story whose plot you cannot influence.
Then you have an if statement per every place where you're operating on one or the other type. It may be very few places and it may be fine like that. It may be 4 options times a hundred paces and then it's not fine anymore.

With gigabit Internet you can stream very high quality VR content that looks really good. You just have to pay to actually get the good quality VR, or download it.
