The biggest problem is mediocre business people at all these companies for whom digitalization means copy-pasting the order process from an e-commerce site. I want to see a museum, why ask me for 8 different fields of data you won’t use ever?

Taking the example of the transit card, a simple login with the card number (in your hand) and a PIN number (in your head) should suffice to view card status and order a new balance top up (without storing CC numbers). Same as when you do a top up in a 7-11 with cash. Just don’t show any confidential information or hide those under an additional authentication request.

Many mediocre companies and organizations bought the “data is money” mantra and soak up useless information they will never use but make their clients life difficult for it.

The description in the article is seriously misleading. Your misgivings about what it appears to mean are entirely correct: it doesn't mean what it appears to mean. The effect in question is only an appearance; it does not mean that clocks 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang "actually" ran 5 times slower than clocks today (as you point out, it is impossible to even make such a comparison). It just means that, because of redshift effects, when we look at light from events that happened 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, we see those events appear to happen 5 times slower than similar events today. But we would see the same thing if we watched events happening on a spaceship that was flying away from us with the same redshift.

I didn't know CUDA was in development for that long, thanks! I'm curious if there were serious attempts to create something similar over the years and how far they managed to progress. I've never used OpenCL but from looking at it from afar its adoption always seemed limited.

Irrespectively though I don't see how a competitor can replicate the context and tacit knowledge associated building something like CUDA for close to 20 years without putting in a similar amount of time.
your bank story reminds me of an issue friends of mine ran into. their bank website has a section about security where they helpfully show the finger print of the tls key of the online banking website. except, it's wrong or outdated. so my friend called the bank, because the instructions even said so: if this key doesn't match, then do call the bank. he did, and promptly got his bank account locked, because obviously the problem must be on his end (his computer could be compromised), and not on the banks side. he had to walk into the local bank branch to resolve the issue in person.

This is very common with all kind of components. There are economies of scale your vendor can achieve when they sell someone a million of the same thing. Also the company buying a milion of the same thing is going to pay the vendor a significant sum, even if they get all kind of discounts, and that puts them at a much better negotiating position than you buying a single one.

Hobbyist buying a few units of a component, even if they are buying it with a significant margin, will net the producer peanuts. So not surprising they don’t worry much about serving them that market.

> Dishy is the first phased array antenna widely available to consumers, as far as I know.

Dishy is the first phased array antenna that was willing to take a huge loss on each sale to consumers. This goes back to the point of getting VC and FCC money to subsidize the service. The estimated cost of the dish is still $1100-$2000 since SpaceX doesn't have any phased array technology that's proprietary, so at $500 they're taking a loss.

> It’s just interesting to me that we have 500hz monitors, yet games are still coming out that only run at ~70fps on a 3080, etc.

Of course new games are running at 70 fps. Most games are absolutely not designed for 500hz, and have zero reason to do that. Cs:go wan’t designed for 500fps, I bet the designers of cs:go never intended people to play at 500fps, or even imagined that would ever happen; it wasn’t possible when the game came out.

There’s a good reason to never go above 70fps: human perception experts tend to agree that our visual system gives us quickly diminishing returns above 60fps, we can’t really see things any faster than that, so I’m quite skeptical that 500fps is necessary.

The whole reason 500fps is useful for competitive esports gaming is to reduce latency, not really to keep increasing frame rates forever. Because games are triple-buffering and sometimes monitors are too, and there’s another frame of latency for controller inputs to be recognized, you might still have 10ms or more of latency between controller input and changes on-screen, even if your game is rendering at 500hz. This means you could get away with 100fps if you had zero latency. When your fps is 60hz and there’s 5 frames of latency, you don’t see responses to your controller until almost 100ms later(!).

It’s been about a decade since I was a game dev, but it’s wild to me that anyone would want 500 fps, or that any games would aim for that. This gives you a grand total of 2 milliseconds do to everything, gameplay + animation + physics + audio + rendering. It’s not a lot of time, and you have to compromise your visuals and rendering (by 10x!) in order to achieve that frame rate. Looks like a lot of new gaming monitors are 144hz, and these new 240/360/480hz monitors are pretty extreme and still a bit rare.

> I understand that some games purposefully limit FPS for physics calculations, but there are many that do not.

FWIW, this isn’t the way I’d frame it, it’s kinda misleading. Very few games are purposefully limiting FPS for the sake of slowing it down. All games, however, have a budget. There are always limited compute & render resources, and both game devs and players want the highest quality available for their budget. Until very recently most games aimed for 30fps, and only really fast twitchy games went for a relatively very smooth 60fps. The games that went for 60 had to cut their polygon counts and physics and gameplay in half in order to achieve high frame rate, so you are totally trading away a richer experience in favor of high frame rates. Only certain kinds of games should even try to do that.
Everyone can look at that and know it's a painting, not a real image. Most "photorealisfic" portraiture still looks visibly like a painting. Paintings can't move like a video can. The issue is misleading people with believable imagery. The issue is defamation. Apply it to yourself and your own image instead of Cosby.
> How is it a “new problem” when painting has existed for a 1000 years and photo-realistic painted had existed for at least 100.

The effort involved matters. Machine guns present societal challenges slingshots do not, despite them being essentially the same "throw an object at someone fast" technology.
> slow" means the maximum speed of a photon was slower back then

No, it doesn't. The laws of physics, including the speed of light, were the same then as now. The article's description is seriously misleading. The effect it is talking about is only an appearance due to the redshift of light from back then. It does not mean that anything was "really" happening slower.

Because newer versions of kernels add new userspace APIs that can be hard to work around if it's not present. For example, Linux 3.7 added getrandom, which is a much easier way to get CSPRNG data from the kernel than /dev/urandom. With regards to Windows, I believe Windows 7 added some multithreading helpers that make mutex support much more performant compared to what you would have to do on XP or Vista.

So, no, the executable code is not the same on XP or 11.
I can definitely see those things being problems, but they are much more likely to occur when asking an LLM to generate code for you. That's not the best coding use case for LLMs IMO, it's much better to provide it code already written and ask it for explanations, bug fixes, refactoring etc. Then it rarely introduces new API calls etc

Did you say the same thing when you showed up for your first day of work and they asked to verify your identity the first time around? Why is this any different?
Apologies for being slightly unclear.

For both getting function composition and avoiding unnecessary intermediate
allocations, the naive approach to using the SERIES package is insufficient.
And the error messages it returns along the way are unhelpful.

Evaluating (defpackage foo (:use :cl :series)) fails to import
(series::defun ...) and (series::let ...) and (series::let* ...).
So, when you think you are following the rules of the paper, you are
invisibly not following the rules of the paper and get the appropriate
warnings about pipelining being impossible. That seems somewhat confusing.

After reading the source code, it turns out the answer is calling
(series::install :shadow T :macro T :implicit-map nil). How is
(series::install ...) supposed to be discoverable with
(describe (find-package :series)) in SBCL if it is an internal
symbol of package SERIES (?) Usability here is somewhat less than discoverable.
Listing all exported package symbols of SERIES obviously also fails here.

Furthermore, the source code and naming in "s-code.lisp" suggest that
(series::process-top ...) may be useful for expanding series expressions
to their pipelined (read optimized/streaming/lazy) implementations.
This is desirable for passing the optimized version on to PARENSCRIPT
or other compilers. Here is the catch: It fails when the series expression
is supposed to return multiple values. One of the points of using SERIES,
is that Waters and his fellow researchers already took care of handling
multiple return values. (If the lisp implementation is smart enough, this
seems to mean that these values are kept in registers during processing.)
After some tinkering, there is a solution that also handles multiple
return values:

(defun series-expand (series-expression)
"(series::process-top ...) has problems with multiple return values."
(let (series::*renames*
series::*env*)
(series::codify
(series::mergify
(series::graphify
series-expression)))))

Will submit pull requests once I am comfortable enough with the source code.

Yes, the SERIES papers Waters(1989a,b) bemoan the lack of deep integration
with Common Lisp compilers. And yes, they could have been resolved by
making SERIES part of ANSI Common Lisp like LOOP was. They could
theoretically also have been resolved by having explicit compiler and
environment interfaces in ANSI Common Lisp. That is not the world we
seem to live in today. Nevertheless, package SERIES solved all of the
hard technical problems. When people know about the documentation
failings, then SERIES is a powerful hammer for combining streaming/lazy-evaluation with function composition as well as other compilers like
PARENSCRIPT.

I have a polydactyl cat where there isn't really room for the extra toe and might be a little uncomfortable. She can't stand anybody messing with her feet, we are told she's very spooky because children kept trying to touch her paws. I can pick her up and easily hold her upside down like a baby at the food bowl if we're alone but if somebody else is around she's very hard to handle.

I had a friend in college who had a similar condition, I knew him for a month before one day I looked at his hand and I said "Dude, you've got six fingers!" In his case the sixth finger was kinda a cross between a pinkie and thumb and not very useful.
I've been to a lot of venues where that's the preferred option.

I recently took my kids to the county fair. There was a big line of people waiting to buy tickets, and a short line for ticket holders.

We went to the line of ticket holders, I popped up the website, and thanks to browser autofill, I completed the transaction in less than a minute, and we had our tickets by the time we reached the front of the line.

I 100% agree that this shouldn't be the only option. But I think it's a great alternative, and for many events it makes sense for it to be the default option.
Are they gonna change licenses in the next week, too?
Haha, no the use of "ph" was intentional in trying to allude to the psychoanalytical concept.

I note that the Scottish law prohibiting non-consensual distribution of "intimate" images uses the phrasing "shows or appears to show". So sufficiently realistic fakes that might be taken for real might be illegal, although there has not yet been a test case.
In addition to all the other downsides listed, here's another more basic one: I don't want to order food from a smartphone!

If I wanted to push a button and get food, I'd eat out of a vending machine or order with DoorDash. One of the reasons I go into a restaurant or some other meatspace "event" is to escape technology for a tiny bit of time and enjoy life. I want to sit down in a comfortable place, enjoy a conversation with my family, or bask in the ambience of the restaurant. I want to have a pleasant, human interaction with a human server. With these digital-only menus, now I'm yet again pulling out my smartphone and scrolling-scrolling-scrolling. Sorry, due to work I've got screens blasting at me for hours every day. I'm not going to go out in the evening to look at another screen.

Nobody was arguing that point. I'm disputing the fact that Starlink, as a satellite internet service technology, is doing anything new. The launch cadence due to SpaceX's progress on rockets has nothing to do with the Starlink side.

We obviously can't directly test what the speed of light was 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. But we can test for changes in the fine structure constant back then, which would have to have been different back then if the speed of light were different. No such changes have been found.

>The other challenge for cameras is that, unlike lidar, which has its own light source, they rely on ambient light. That’s why they often struggle at night or in bad weather.

Also I'm not sure I see how you're deducing 'very cherry picked' data there. They've given a range of situations and some general results that look pretty good. I'd assume it's cherry picked in as much as it's not a full data set, but it doesn't exactly yell suspiciously missing anything core to me. Are you expecting the system to fall apart in light rain, but excel in heavy?
It's really sad how everyone here is fawning over tech that will destroy you own livelihoods. "AI won't take your job, those who use AI will" is purely short term, myopic thinking. These tools are not aimed to help workers, the end goal is to make it so you don't need to be an engineer to build software, just let the project manager or director describe the system they want and boom there it is.

You can scream that this is progress all you want, and I'll grant you that these tools will greatly speed up the generation of code. But more code won't make any of these businesses provide better services to people, lower their prices, or pay workers more. They are just a means to keep money from flowing out of the hands of the C-Suite and investor classes.

If software engineering becomes a solved problem then fine, we probably shouldn't continue to get paid huge salaries to write it anymore, but please stop acting like this is a better future for any of us normal folks.

the author made a guess in the next paragraph:

When it comes to SSL certificates this change entirely makes sense, however for file trust this is problematic, as previously signed files can’t simply have the certificate updated on them in the same way websites can. This is likely why Microsoft trusted this root certificate for much longer in Microsoft Windows than browser vendors did.

But until we hear from Microsoft, I guess we won't know for sure.
