Yep, used proximitron for adblocking for many years, then switched to admuncher (system-wide low-level adblocking for Windows) and then to uBlock Origin for browsers in conjunction with AdGuard Home DNS-based adblocking for my entire LAN.

Proximitron worked great for its time, though.

I was under the impression that 5600g and 5600u were Zen3, but being the APU models they have Radeon graphics.

Anecdotally, I tried to reproduce on my 5600g but couldn't. Which is surprising because they claim it works on 5700u...

Edit: just discovered that while my 5600g is Zen3, the 5700u is Zen2. Lol.
Wow this is a great example of bad marketing/naming/fluff. I thought this was X (Elon Musk) and the site looked generic enough (until Google is mentioned) to make me think this was the case.

Then it hit me: Musk is doing the rebrand so he can package 'moonshots' to pump his Twitter stock and eventually save his investment in the company. He'll bundle 'Elon futurism' into Twitter so he can get a better multiple.
Everyone is hating on "X" right now because of the bloviated way tech companies talk about "changing the world". I'm always pessimistic about things like this too, but I do have a soft spot in my heart for this stuff.

Why?, because it allows some engineers to work on cool stuff. Will it pan out, probably not, but I'm not going to cry if Google blows through a few million bucks. They won't even notice it.

Better that a few engineers get to have some fun working on stuff other than optimal ad placement. Who know's maybe they'll stumble across something actually helpful to humanity (not holding my breath).
Moonshots don't imply moon landings. I take the name in a humbler manner — X is a lab that works on risky projects that might not make it anywhere, and Alphabet is okay with that.

Just an anecdote about the Unicomp Model M's.

I treated myself to one about four years ago. After many years of telling myself it was too expensive.

It was complete crap. I mostly kept it in its original box except for fooling around with it on an rPi. It failed in less than two years.

I sent it back for repair under warranty. The warranty required I pay for shipping it back. Another twenty-five bucks down the drain.

A few weeks later its back. In the interim, I am poking around on the Unicomp website and notice that it lists the weight as...I don't remember, but like five or six pounds.

The one I bought from Unicomp weighed in at just under three. I remembered when the Unicomp arrived and thinking it felt light and flimsy compared to my memory of the original Model M I'd had back in the 1990's (salvaged from a 8580 headed to the dumpster).

I got the replacement back and sell it on eBay to cut my losses.

I bought the Unicomp before the pandemic, so it wasn't a supply chain issue. Just a company maximizing profits. Requiring customers to pay for shipping under warranty is probably a sign that the company knows it will have a lot of warranty repairs.

My advice is don't buy a Unicomp. But YMMV.
I call BS on this. I never heard of upgrading mainframes every 2-3 years. It makes no sense. Mainframes are huge investments meant to last a long time, it is not a PC you replace in a few years.
> I figured it was all going to somehow be Facebookgram but they kept it separate

I'm still salty that they pulled out the Foursquare location backend and replaced it with Facebook's... whatever it is they replaced it with. Eleven years later and it's still less often correct than it was when Foursquare was providing the data.

It requires focus to details to debug.
Just to clarify, I was simply playing along with the reference to Monty Python's Parrot Sketch. I'm in no way defending X or Musk.
I agree with the sentiment but must admit that titles like "everything programmers should know about X" absolutely annoy me as well.
Oh, probably. That's a pretty standard pattern; I know of a feature that was lacking from Apple's window manager until they found a need for QuickTime to use it and added it in.
Where does Twitter fit into being useful technology with which to colonize Mars?

Think the fact that the engineering problems Musk demonstrated some aptitude for finding solutions to were also vaguely related to his stated aspiration to colonise other planets actually perfectly fits the armchair speculation that Twitter is just an addictive distraction from hard science which he's pursuing out of sheer hubris, not because of any grand vision but because he said he could do better than the people in charge and people liked his posts

If you referred to Phoenix as a “southern US city” or Portland as a “northern US city” most people in the country would look at you weird.
I once had a fantastic experience with reporting a bug on Firefox. One engineer saw that the bug was severe enough to justify delaying the release process, they worked their asses off to fix the bug and merged the bug into the new version which was released with just a little delay. That was amazing to watch.

In general I have the feeling that Firefox and Chromium developers take bug reports very seriously. Safari is a different story, my bug reports there got frequently ignored. But I have the feeling that the entire Safari project is handled by one single developer, so it's not really surprising.

There is no way you are serious, it's just a piece of paper. You can't compare it to one of the most famous websites.

But you do pay for all of that in todays society.

Teachers are paid, tuition to schools is paid, feedback from tutors is paid, textbooks are paid for, copies of books are paid for, movies and TV are paid for. The experience you learn on the job is paid for via yours or your coworker’s salary.

I get the argument that it’s not copying it’s learning, but it’s also very different than a human learning by observation.

And if learning weights is okay, is it okay to train an AI with the structure designed to reproduce Shrek, then sell the AI? I think ShrekAI would be illegal in most countries. It’s a blurry question that we need to think about.

RSS was by techies, and only ever used by techies. Uncontrolled news feeds lacking data collection doesn't sell enough for the giants.

Also RSS only thrives if sites put in the effort to support it. Even still, the majority of online users are on social media platforms, not "surfing the www" like the gold ol' days.
You'd still need to build the physical stuff for the AI, just intelligence is not enough for every job: the bookshelf cleaning machine needs more than thinking.
It hurt me while I was in school in the late 80s. I applied early decision to CMU, and was accepted. My parents were older, and very financially conservative, and were not high income. When I got the aid package, I found out that I qualified for basically 0 aid, and my parents were expected to re-mortgage their modest house to pay for my education (which I would not have asked them to do). I withdrew and attended a state school where I got a merit scholarship (but had to start 1 semester late, due to early decision).

It seems like home equity does not count these days, which is an improvement I guess.
You don't have to put yourself down to have an open mind or a beginner's mind. Realistically you are aware that you are not below average in all contexts, no? So what does it mean to tell yourself otherwise? False humility? Self deprecation? Doesn't seem very healthy.

Yes, after working in the cs department with entirely international students from India or Nepal i learned to pick up on the speech patterns, grammar, and accent of the students. I don't do it but i learned once when challenged that i can do a near perfect Indian accent in English without ever having practiced.

Also, i knew they were talking shit about basically everybody cause the managers and professors couldn't understand what they were saying. One time the group leader came up to me all concerned to ask if i knew hindi because i guess i was laughing at a few too many of their jokes. I just nonchalantly didn't answer to keep em on their toes lol.
Oh, fun times. I've been on the other side of that business in my past life, where I had to "revive" a business critical program written in VB3 (yes for Windows 3.x) after a computer migration that was used to calculate the weight of an aluminum or steel coil/roll via its dimensions so it could be input into the PLC for the feeder mechanism at the beginning of a production line that did forming/extruding of metals.

So on one end mainframes, on the other ends software written for DOS and Windows 3.x still being used in (at the time the 2010s) to keep critical infrastructure for manufacturing running.
I straight use credit cards as insurance, especially against scams.

I specifically dont use a debit card at all and dont carry it. I only have it to pull money out and it stays locked in a safe at home.

CC's allow me to ensure things like Amazon sellers arent scamming you, or worse, random websites with awful return policies. With a CC merchant that have a motivation to work on your behalf (ie: to get you to pay them for the charges).

With a debit card that money is gone and its your responsibility to recoup it or convince your bank to credit you that money back..no thanks.

If it's of any help, https://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/22/education/edlife/prepping... from 11 years ago :

> MARGARET KING of Birmingham, Ala., was at a loss about how to help her older daughter prepare to rush at the University of Virginia. In the South, where sororities have long been a momentous rite of passage, the road to sisterhood is long and not so clearly marked.

> So Mrs. King, who graduated from Yale in 1984, before it had any sororities, enlisted the aid of Marlea Foster and Pat Grant, local consultants who had coached their own daughters through rush at Furman, the University of Georgia and Auburn University. Naming themselves the Rushbiddies, they opened shop in 2009 after hearing about the rush misfortunes of their daughters’ friends. About 50 mothers and their “chicks,” as the Biddies affectionately call them, attended one of their two-day workshops in April ($100 a couple), complete with mock rush party, wardrobe hints and paperwork prep.

While I don't have access to the WSJ or NYT, commentary from 2012 on the NYT piece at https://washingtonmonthly.com/2012/07/16/sorority-consultant... says 'Von Sperling apparently charges $8,000 for a weekend session, advising young women to “treat rush… as you would a job interview.”'

There's more about Rushbiddies from the 2017 piece 'The Strange World of Sorority Rush Consultants', republished in 2023 at https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/a... . It comments:

> Following the premiere of the new documentary Bama Rush, we're resurfacing this 2017 story about the strange world of sorority rush consultants.

That documentary is perhaps what inspired this WSJ piece?
Oh, no, X and Reddit itself doesn't have any open positions in the X team at the moment.
Perhaps controversial, but after 65-70 continuing working is fine but the type and focus of work should change because if not, the work will be at the expense and harm of the next generation.

After a certain point the focus should no longer be on doing work first hand, but should be working to help, mentor and advise others to provide them a path instead of occupying the top.

Fostering the next generations should be the goal, not occupying career space until the grave.

I'm still not sold on Julia. Compared to R/python, the supposed benefit doesn't outweigh the cost of implementation and learning (my perception). I do a lot of "big data" stuff in R/python, and I just use libaries written in C or C++.
For a younger, student electrical engineer, they could easily gain the appreciation for the engineering that went into these things. Especially as a someone who wrote a lot software prior to completing my EE training, I wanted to learn on something that was fairly “pure” to learn major concept and patters on: a large MCU that only breaks out into a bunch of connectors is not it. While convenient and inexpensive, it doesn’t let you learn the more basic concepts that empower you to understand what is going on a at the lower levels of its operation.

I would love to be able to teach (or have had the opportunity to learn) system architecture from analysis of arcade cabinets, starting with a CPU, adding ram, rom, peripherals, etc. Ben Eater’s 6502 computer kit[0] comes very close and is closer to the ballpark of what I would want out of a learning experience.

Musk's original web payments company was x.com, which he started in the late 90's. Then it did a very early merge with some other startup, and the combined company rebranded to PayPal. At some point, Musk bought back the domain from PayPal.

I do not understand why anyone would think that it's a great idea to do a this major rebranding of an existing company with a well-known brand.
> It's not like Elon could make that much worse

To be fair he could. Even ignoring everything else the interest alone on the debt alone he offloaded to Twitter during the acquisition is enough to finance the payroll of at least 1000-2000 additional employees (assuming total 600-300k cost per person and only 5% interest..). Which is why he had to fire so many people.
Indeed, this seems closely related, thanks for the pointer!

Unfortunately I'm not deep enough into the topic to understand what their contribution to the theory part of it is. (they have some Supplementary Material in [INN Supp]). In the discussion of the Integral Neural Networks (INN) paper, there's this paragraph about an operator learning publication:

"In [24] the authors proposed deep neural networks with layers defined as functional operators. Such networks are designed for learning PDE solution operators, and its layers are continuously parameterized by MLPs only along the kernel dimensions. A re-discretization was investigated in terms of training on smaller data resolution and testing on higher input resolution. However, the proposed framework in [24] does not include continuous connections between filters and channels dimensions."

Also the weight permutation to perform the resampling on pretrained networks in INNs seems to be novel? And I guess it doesn't hurt that they're bringing new eyeballs to the topic, by providing examples of common networks and a PyTorch implementation.

IME most of the content I get from white creators is political in nature, for now. I somehow drifted away from BookTok into witch-don't-kale-my-vibe-tok.

If your product is simple enough to not need a tour, you should design it like that; MOST products are definitely simple enough to not need a tour.

But if you're making Photoshop, or a deep-functionality video editor, or an enterprise accounting application, or a diagnostics utility or...

If you're building any of those things (or something complex like that), don't be afraid to keep it complex and use a tool for building user familiarity. That's good design, actually. No 'one-size-fits-all' solutions on UX, I'm afraid.

This shit is exactly why astrology is so frustrating. You can't pin down whether somebody actually believes what they're saying – when challenged it's all in good fun, but the things people actually say and appear to believe are completely absurd. "More questions than answers" my ass – there are NO answers here. It's a "game" when convenient, I guess. This wishy-washy trolling attitude reminds me of all the alt-right 4chan weirdos who are just "joking" about all their awful beliefs.
This is useful advice, but please don't take it to the extreme of developing imposter syndrome [1]. Good engineers need to balance humility with confidence. Too humble, nobody listens (and you don't get funding). Too confident, people label you as a self-important "blow hard."
