Maybe they should though. A lot of people buy a laptop just to only ever use it on their desk and never actually take it anywhere. A desktop computer with equivalent performance will generally be several hundred dollars cheaper and run quieter as well.

If an individual trains a model on their own data to embody their own skills and behaviour, so that they can then sell/rent that model out to work on their behalf, well in that scenario not being able to treat the weights as intellectual property (copyright or otherwise controllable by a license), would be a huge violation and detrimental to that individual.

This isn't a satisfying resolution at all, it's akin to someone saying "I disagree with the value you used for X, it should be __ instead" - which is basically what I said: it reveals their personal opinion/ what they want to believe.

I work in the ad industry. I have some expertise both on witnessing the alleged decline and counter-acting it. Before anyone asks about my moral compass I do not like ads, I never have, but they're an inevitability. The problems big ad tech face are unique and very hard especially w.r.t. to data.

Anyway, ads are not dying. By and large ad quality is getting better. There are several companies that exist now to pre-screen ads for major websites (youtube being one of them) that specialize specifically in making sure not only the ads are relevant but also safe. You may see niche (gross) ads on places like 4chan. But on any major site you can be sure the ads have gone through several reviews not only for quality, but accuracy, and relevancy. As for the counter-acting part several companies specialize in guerilla advertising and this business is BOOMING. The author probably has no idea they are constantly being advertised on nearly every popular youtube video. There are so many ways we can slip ads in to someone's feed that you will not avoid it no matter what you do.

What bothers me is the author of this video seems to think the internet can exist without ads. In it's current form it cannot. Every free service you use, every video you watch, etc would have to be paid in full otherwise. This is the definition of an information economy. The video goes on to whine and cry about how many ads are being shown on youtube, or how reddit torpedo'd stuff in the name of ads. The ONLY ALTERNATIVE is a paid solution. The author seems to be channeling the levels of undeserved hubris only Stallman can achieve. This is the fundamental problem of open source software only marginally reframed. A bunch of ivory tower morons talking about how software should be free but unwilling to help/donate/code to make it happen. Users of ad-powered websites are legitimately no different.

So you have a fork in the road. Watch a couple ads occasionally to help fund the website you're leeching from or pay for the service. The video frustrates me especially because the industry itself is doing a lot of very hard work to drive relevant content to users. For example, you won't see an ad for clorox bleach on a sysop video.

Nothing is getting worse. You are watching a system built on advertising revenue to provide a "free" experience degrading because the revenue is getting smaller. If you like the service turn your ad blocker off. If you cannot do that, you legitimately have no place to complain. You do not have to use these services. In the case of Youtube you can pay for the ad-free experience.

I guess what I'm saying is: if you're a content leech watch a couple ads. If you're an OSS leech, consider donating :).

You take calculus to understand the nature of change over time, which is the foundation of physics.

The formulas to do integrals aren't important but the concept of integrals is.

Honestly I think we should try to focus on differential equations instead but maybe it's necessary to do calculus first.

I'm a huge believer in remote / cloud development, but this is not something I'll consider using. Here's why: with my current setup, VSCode + Remote SSH and development VMs on a proxmox bare metal box, I have a native IDE experience and don't experience any latency, even though I'm in Asia, and the box is in Germany (Hetzner). If I used an RDP connection, all of sudden this puts a higher demand on my internet connection, while as the VS code remote / code-server solution is quite tolerant of latency spikes / disconnections.

The only downside is that I have to re-do my client-side VScode configuration if I start working from a new desktop. Things like keybindings and preferences are synced to github. Or I could go the cloud route and use my hosted code-server instances, which works quite well.
Yes it was. Still is. I almost bought a FireWire card so I could use an iPod with Windows before the USB model came out. I also remember an old Dell laptop I had having a FW port.

When FW400 came out we were on USB1 which was stuck at 12mbps. It wasn’t designed for hard drives and such. It was for floppies, keyboards, mice, printers, barcode scanners, etc. Low bandwidth. Not that that stopped manufacturers.

FireWire just wasn’t popular on the PC side outside of video editing (and perhaps other specialized uses).

USB got far more useful with USB2, which went to 480mbps, but IIRC you couldn’t achieve that and it had tons of CPU overhead. FW could max out its bandwidth and had low CPU overhead by design despite having a lower theoretical max.

But it was over. USB2 was cheaper and FAR FAR more common. FW800 existed for those who needed more bandwidth. But for most people USB2 was plenty and they already had it.

Thunderbolt took over for FW, and as of USB4 the two are basically the same (relative to FW vs USB’s differences).

As someone who works for an asian "superapp", the grass is always greener.

Superapps are self-limiting, because the app-size is too large for many user's phones (Uber has famously had this problem too, and thus split up their apps [0]).

The UX also tends to be a bit weird. Everyone wants to use the superapp differently and so the interface ends up being the lowest common denominator across all product families.

Is not that OpenJDK developers can't prevent these, but there's a forbidding cost for doing so.

The simplest "safe" way of doing this involves defensively copying the input argument. However, the `compress` function will likely make yet another smaller copy, making the constructor very allocation and CPU intensive.

In fact, due to the fixed array size in Java, all thread-safe implementations must either allocate two arrays to hold the two possible encodings, which guarantees one piece of garbage, or iterating the input array twice.

For such a core class like String, this is probably unacceptable cost. And the constructor is not documented to be thread-safe, so no one should expect it to.

In reality, there are much more impactful data structures to abuse in Java.

The feature was the power pin. You couldn’t power a device from that tiny plug (on either side).

I do understand why they did it. Sony is the master of miniaturization and wanted things to be small as possible. So the idea of making one of their little tiny handheld camcorders noticeably bigger just for a single connector was probably a non-starter for them.

So they made up their own and then used their size to force it to become a part of the standard.

This is yet another way that running untrusted code inside the same JVM is a terrible mess. There's a lot of JVM state that gets "locked in" on first use (e.g. <clinit>) and a malicious bit of code could corrupt a LOT of shared data (like the post's mentioned string internment zone) even if you sanitize all of your inputs and outputs.

I wonder if you could do something nasty with this bug from inside an IntelliJ plugin...

I think this is true, if we also allow that people who have been using the UI for a while also aren't confused and overwhelmed by it.

So the whole UI is being optimised for non-technical new users. Which does make sense commercially - you don't want your product reviews all about how the UI is too complex. But it would be nice to be able to flip a switch and tell the thing "I know what I'm doing now, can I have my pixels back please?"

How the design of Disney parks affects our perspective (2020)
> Apple has seemingly intentionally priced themselves out of reach of smaller and indie creative-types

I don't think this take makes any sense. Sure, you can spec out an insanely expensive Mac today. That's always been the case.

But with Apple Silicon, there's actually never been a better price to performance ratio at the bottom end of their lineup, perhaps in Apple's entire history. An entry-level Mac Mini or MacBook Air can give an indie creator tremendous power and performance per dollar.

I think you're right that Apple has lost a lot of creative professionals over the years who migrated to Windows, and the lack of plug and play GPUs may well keep some of those professionals away.

But I think it's actually precisely the indies that represent Apple's best chance at making inroads into the space again over the long run. If you're a kid trying to bootstrap a new YouTube channel or experimenting with filmography and building a portfolio, it's hard to recommend a better combo than FCP and a Mac Mini for performance and cost.
MUDs had/have them. LPMuds in particular had ftp and later http servers built in and pioneered intermud which supported instant messaging, as well as in game mail accross servers. at least for messaging clients existed that also allowed communication with players from outside the game. message boards existed too, not sure if there were any shared across serders. i also don't know if there were bridges to smtp or irc too, would not have been hard to build though (there was apparently at least one MUD that forwarded messages from in game message boards to mailing lists, and oh, PSYCH is a messaging platform written in LPC that supports XMPP and i believe IRC too)

it is no surprise that LPC, the language LPMuds are written in served as a basis for the general purpose language Pike. there is a server written in Pike with an internal design similar to MUDs that supports not only http and ftp but also smtp, irc, xmpp and other protocols. i use that for my own websites.

10 years is also nothing in game development. Games now can take up to 7 years from conception to release, and then there is post release content. Based on the “10 years”, that would mean like what, 1 game out of each series would be cross platform? And for Sony, they would need to start developing a competent competitor to Call of Duty immediately. Or Sony could just buy EA and create a Titanfall 3 since I guess it’s okay for big ass companies to buy one another now.

I hear you. So burned out doing the same thing over and over again.

What pushed me over the edge recently is management pushing for faster velocity for a service that is utterly meaningless. No customer is waiting for it. No savings of money. No really awesome outcome. But, it must be done faaassst. Has anyone asked why?

And in that question, I found the root cause of the problem. I figured out that management wants me to finish this ASAP because it is affecting their ratings as compared to peer managers. Not because it brings any meaning to anyone. Not because it will help any customer. Not because some $$ is on the line. Certainly not because they want to promote me.

And I realized that I cannot work hard for meaningless deadlines that make some random manager look good. It's just not me.

For my next job, I am hoping to find something that serves the company, the product or some real vision. If I work for a manager's ratings, I will burn out again.

Pick a speed you can work at comfortably and long term, keep in mind there WILL be times where you really need to knuckle down and get things done, working too hard outside of those times means you won't be ready for them when they arrive.

I have been in the industry for 7 years and no burnout yet. I take breaks, I slow down, and I always go home on time. My output is still consistently higher than my coworkers who overwork themselves, because not being burnt out allows me to think clearly.
That was a sarcasm. I should have stated that he doesn't care as much as other companies. Elon, being the richest person on the planet, is uniquely positioned and has a competitive advantage. He can risk losing ad revenue to achieve his goals - minimize censorship and create a super-app.
Cognitive dissonance. Knowing stuff is (generally) smart. Not knowing stuff is dumb. If someone's superior knowledge in a field makes you feel dumb, you assage your self image by saying you're not dumb, you're just not a try-hard nerd.

Not being able to appreciate that people are better than you in some fields (or maybe even most fields) might be dumb, but that could be part of a self-reinforcing cycle of not learning or trying because you might not be successful.
