I haven't looked at the eGPU space in a while, but the convenience of being able to move a very expensive GPU between machines without taking apart the machines or having excess power is definitely an interesting idea especially now that ML models are so popular.
EC2-Classic was magical. It felt like we were finally living in the future: a world where software was in charge of networking, and all of the legacy cruft that came from having to build networks out of cable could be forgotten.

Rather than care about legacy IP "subnets", the cloud cared about "security groups", which were missing only a couple features (such as "hierarchy") to entirely replace the role of a subnet in traditional networking.

Having spent a lot of time working with EC2-Classic, it made network engineering fun and easy. The new "VPC" mechanism is demoralizing in its complexity, and doesn't seem to allow anything you couldn't express using security groups.

I've written about this before--in more detail or with more rhetoric, depending on my mood--but the big feeling I get from the transition from EC2-Classic was the frustration that comes when other people make something worse.

I'm saying that third parties like states deciding what is or isn't "for the benefit" of the people (as opposed to being told what the people want) is not good for them. It's crossing boundaries and it's infantilizing.

For two cases where it's gone horribly wrong consider the prohibition and the "war on drugs". Not to mention the "don't eat fat" campaigns...
Hardware stores don’t have sites like this froth at the mouth to talk about how dangerous their machetes are and how it’s irresponsible to let people use them and so on and so forth.
>What is this American moral universalism?

Believing you shouldn't be brutally murdered for criticizing your government is not an American thing.

>What the f—k business do we have weighing in on Saudi society?

Some people believe basic human rights ought to be universal. Strange, I know.

>I see no reason for the US to get into Crusades 2.0.

Absolutely no one is suggesting that.

I don't think this paper actually disentangles the causation direction. It's just another study showing that people with mental problems tend to like smoking. The 20 year gap between starting smoking and hospitalization they're talking about leaves a lot to be desired.

The most surprising thing to me is that they managed to find an n=131,140 of people in the system with enough genetic testing coverage to calculate the polygenetic scores for the smoking models they used. That many people had detailed gene sequencing done and in accessible public databases?

Hello!

I'm Rob Banagale, a seasoned Product Engineer with a knack for building impactful technology. Over the years, I've worn many hats — from a startup founder to a contractor, and I thrive in roles that require multifaceted skills and creative problem-solving.

My experience spans across various domains such as cyber security, web data scraping, image recognition (ALPR), and mobile apps. I'm comfortable with an array of technologies and excel in delivering full-stack web applications with excellent systems to maintain them.

I have a strong emphasis on creating user-centric products, driving agile methodologies, and fostering team collaboration.

I'm currently open to remote opportunities that offer challenging and meaningful work, though I have a particular interest in products that thoughtfully make use of recent advances in generative AI.

It's not just the products they kill that sucks, it's all the Apps they kill with their "Free" product, only to kill that off when they get bored of it - leaving the entire ecosystem much worse than if it never existed in the first place.
That would look very different genetically from a population bottleneck.

There are two factors at play: inheritance and mutation. If you had a large population of genetically similar individuals, you'd expect after a few gereations many parallel lineages each with their own distinct mutations.

Imagine everyone starts out with a gene that looks like AAAAAAAA; some lines would wind up with AACAAAAA while others wind up with AAAACAAA. In later generations you might see a gene like GACCATTA which came from that first group, whereas a gene like TTAACACG which came from the second (note the position of the C).

Alternatively, if you have a small population, mutations are going to accumulate in series. Perhaps you start out with some AAAAAAAA and some TTTTTTTT variants, in later generations you'd expect to find versions of the gene like AATCAGAT and AAACAGAAT which descend from the first line and TTTCAGTC and TGTCAGTT which descend from the second. The lineages' distinctness is conserved, but they both spent a lot of time developing mutations before they radiated.

Time estimates can get a little wonky because we don't really know what the mutation rate was at any given point in the past; we can kind of calibrate by sequencing genes of fossil specimens but there are only so many specimens of sufficient quality, and they only tell us which mutations had already occurred by that point in time. But the sequence of events is much clearer.
Quite a few, but that’s just because I have friend groups who use Slack.

Discord would probably be better since Slack’s pricing favors business use. We lose our old messages on the free version of Slack, but the all-or-nothing per-user monthly cost of a paid version prohibits our group from upgrading. You either upgrade everyone in the group or upgrade nobody.

The way that Discord’s premium features are based on an individual person’s willingness to pay rather than the entire organization is definitely a better model for personal use.
To save others the trip, the link simply states the term is a "[c]oordinative compound of anarcho- + tyranny."

The link also adds that the term was coined by Samuel Francis, a columnist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Francis_(writer)).

Digging deeper, I found this essay Mr. Francis wrote where he explains the term he coined in 1992: https://web.archive.org/web/20060928023136/http://www.chroni... .

I'd offer this quote of a long sentence as Mr. Francis's tl;dr of his term:

"What we have in this country today, then, is both anarchy (the failure of the state to enforce the laws) and, at the same time, tyranny—the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes; the criminalization of the law-abiding and innocent through exorbitant taxation, bureaucratic regulation, the invasion of privacy, and the engineering of social institutions, such as the family and local schools; the imposition of thought control through “sensitivity training” and multiculturalist curricula, “hate crime” laws, gun-control laws that punish or disarm otherwise law-abiding citizens but have no impact on violent criminals who get guns illegally, and a vast labyrinth of other measures. In a word, anarcho-tyranny."
It's not just a matter of will. The fact is that if you are a commercial venture, you are dependent of your server hosting and and your payment provider, both of which usually will drop you like a stone if you don't stay withing Disneyland use cases boundaries.

They are basically implicit law makers, and unless you are very, very big, you have zero impact on their policies nor can appeal their decisions once they hit you.

They don't need proof. They don't even need facts. They can and will kill your business if they even start to believe you don't match their guidelines.

Hello! For 5 years I've been a cofounder and director of software engineering at a startup, growing and leading a team from 0 to 15+ developers. I have a deep understanding of technology and how to apply it to solve business problems. During the last months, I have done contractor work for a couple of companies, building the foundational software for one of them, and helping the other improve their software development processes to deliver a project they were struggling with.

I have a strong educational background (PhD in bioinformatics and machine learning, MSc in mathematics, MSc in computer science), and have worked with a variety of technologies (Python, C++, C, Go, JavaScript).

I've been a software engineer for 15+ years, and so have a wide range of projects I've worked on, both coding from scratch and leading teams of devs. To name a few: I built a multi-modal journey planner in C++ https://www.iomob.net/technology/, a machine learning platform in Python http://mmb.irbbarcelona.org/PMut, a math high school contests site with Django https://www.contrarellotge.cat.

and I, while dealing with the fallout of migrating something from AWS Data Pipeline (it entered "Maintenance Mode" and they removed console access earlier this year.)
And that's when I'd make that script and the knowledge behind it available publicly and advertise it on social media :)
Is there any corporate funding for this work?
I strongly disagree with this. If we're going to raise the age then it has to be across the board. 21 to be tried as an adult, 21 to be drafted, 21 to vote, etc. Disenfranchising legal adults because of possible 20 years* in the future crime (hospitalization for mental health around ~40yo) is very immoral.

I have seen Angular projects last pretty long avoiding code entropy. Angular is opinionated, rigid, and verbose, but goddamn if that structure and predictability don't pay off in the long term.
This is nowhere near as confusing as you're making it out to be.

- 802.3bu specifies PoDL (power over data lines).
- 802.3bp specifies 1000Mb/s over SPE (single pair ethernet)
- 802.3bw specifies 100Mb/s over SPE
- 802.3cg specifies 10Mb/s over SPE
- 802.3da is an enhancement of 802.3cg.

In fact, you've had most of this explained to you before[0], including your long "whyyyyyy".

Modern WiFi has a very long list of 802.11 standards attached to it... My WiFi access point supports all of these:

- 802.11a
- 802.11b
- 802.11g
- 802.11n
- 802.11ac
- 802.11ax

I rarely hear anyone complain about the alphabet soup involved there, but relatively recently, they've been rebranding it as WiFi 5, WiFi 6, WiFi 7 since it is something consumers run into more frequently than things like SPE.

SPE is not intended for home users. The SPE standards are designed to make things easier for automotive and industrial applications, and they seem fine. Automotive needs are not the same as industrial needs, so flexibility in the standards allows them to meet the specific needs of each application better. It also allows them to remove unnecessary weight and complexity. Weight reduction is one of the main reasons automotive is interested in SPE.

SPE has no obvious advantages for home users over something like Monoprice's Micro SlimRun cables, which are extremely thin and flexible, for example. So, it makes sense that they haven't put effort into giving it cool branding like "WiFi 7".

I can't find any reference to WWII munitions in the original article. What they are talking about are atmospheric nuclear tests carried out primarily in the period after WWII:

"For weapons-137Cs, the cessation of atmospheric tests resulted in no noteworthy new weapons-137Cs fallout after the last test in 1980 ... this study illustrates that strategic decisions to conduct atmospheric nuclear tests 60–80 years ago still impact remote natural environments, wildlife, and a human food source today."
Interestingly, my experience is that it's still about as widely-supported as it was back in the Google Reader heyday, probably because the people developing these sites tend to be weirdos like us. It is less visible now, admittedly.
Sorry, I guess I disregarded it because I figured we were talking about serious programming, not literally "Hello world".

And if you're writing a single "Hello world", HTML is overkill. Make a free website on a random platform and literally just write "Hello world" in their WYSIWIG editor. Or hell, just serve plain text with "Hello world" inside, browsers will render it just fine.
Not to mention the risk of getting sued.
Users of Vespas and Lambrettas are largely not a nuisance: they don't ride on sidewalks, utterly disrespect traffic rules while endangering themselves and others, and are generally properly parked (at least well enough to not be a noticeable nuisance).

There is probably a link with them being more expensive, requiring a licence, being registered and the fact that they are not perceived as a nuisance.

I really doubt e-scooters users are going to jump on those in numbers large enough to make a difference.

I'm a full stack software engineer with strong fundamentals in programming and web technologies. I enjoy thinking about system level details, networking, and data concerns. I consider myself a generalist when it comes to tech stack—I'm proficient in multiple stacks, and I enjoy picking up new tech to solve a specific problem.

I am confident working independently, but I also enjoy collaborating with a team. Most recently, I worked with 3 other engineers to develop a cloud native framework for testing microservice API integrations. If you want to know more, I authored a technical case study exploring the problem space and our solution: https://signet-framework.dev/case-study

I'm looking for a new opportunity—feel free to reach out if you think I may be a good fit for your team!
A bit of history to this - previously there were just machines, you put in cash and get cigarettes - but then it was decided this made it too easy for underage people to buy cigarettes so now you have to use a bank card (I think?) for identification, so young people just hang around the machines and ask a passerby to lend them their card.
> it's not like you had to buy the hardware or replace the failed disks yourself, web hosters did that for you.

That’s an oversimplification. Yes, you didn’t go into the data center and replace the disk yourself, but it was a very different process than what you get with AWS.

There are still plenty of web hosts that operate the old fashioned way if people want to use them. There is a reason people prefer services like AWS though.
How do you support the Pixel Watch 2 when it doesn’t officially exist yet?

I’m wondering if there are people here who have done a coding bootcamp? If so, was it paid or free? What did you think of the experience? Did it land you a job? I’ve always wondered of the efficacy of bootcamps so would be interested to hear people’s experience.
> I don't think I'll be paying for any new Google products any time soon.

Here's a parable: would you buy a product from a YC-funded startup? This whole site is dedicated to the idea of chasing new ideas at great risk, so... yes, right? You'd buy a product from a startup? Needless to say, YC-funded startups fail at a rate rather higher than Google products (and startups in general at a rather higher rate still). Would you come to this site to exclaim how you "don't think you'll be buying any YC-funded products any time soon"?

Why is the purchase calculus different? I'm not asking for the ethical calculus, those arguments go nowhere. I'm just curious why you'd make a practical argument about a purchase decision in one case that you wouldn't in another. Bluntly: I think you're making an emotional argument, not a practical one.
> Why is that the bar? It they are safe and useful in other situations, they can already be used in those other situations, no?

Unlike in SW, choosing a different path might lead to accidents.

My car can keep the lane very good in a sunny day, when the sin shines from above (i.e. midday).

Yes, the very same! The trick is to just replace them all when one starts to go. No need to run around locating the beeping one, just take them all down (you can stop and go to bed when you do find the right one) and replace them all next time you swing by the hardware store.
Yikes, thanks for the warning. It's a great idea on a technical basis, but I really hope they don't make this an excuse to get rid of the last telephone boxes (which after this change should be free for local calls anyway, considering how cheap VoIP is).
