You are right about them. But battery hungry monsters ain't new. Have a look at the Sega Game Gear.

The Game Gear had much higher specs than Nintendo's Game Boy. It had a proper colour display, instead of a pea soup screen.

> The internal reaction to the Game Boy at Nintendo was initially very poor, earning it the derogatory nickname "DameGame" from Nintendo employees, in which dame (だめ) means "hopeless" or "useless".[19][20]

(An idiomatic translation might be, 'Lame Boy'.)

As you might be aware, the supposed Lame Boy won the market. Partially because the Game Gear ate through batteries like crazy, while the Game Boy subsisted on a more measured diet.
For those to whom this isn’t obvious, Dulwich College is a private high school in London. The events described probably happened when they author was 14.

Also, apropos of nothing, the school that gave us Nigel Farage.

Top-flight chess does not go in for this kind of nostalgia.
>MicroSD are so darn tiny, sometimes pretty hard to pick up.

This is true, but the idea is that you should almost never need to do this. It should be a rare occasion when you need to install or remove a microSD card. It's just like nanoSIM cards: when was the last time you needed to swap that out?

Floppy disks, and today USB thumb drives, serve a different purpose: they're supposed to be easy to plug and unplug and move data around. I don't see microSD cards as having that purpose at all. I have a microSD card in my phone, and it's great, but I haven't taken it out since I put it in there several years ago; it's just a storage expansion device, not a way of easily moving data between devices. It's not that easy to swap between devices, but it's easy enough to do, with some care, for those rare occasions it might be necessary (like migrating to a new phone).

It’s a utopia, that sanctions will help keep China in technology research behind. There is no star metal in ASML machines. Same silicon, tightly manufactured mechanical parts. Same laws of physics. One day China will catch up and compete with classical semiconductor companies. It’s actually already happening. See ESP32 wireless microprocessors.

One of the most shocking thing I experienced working at Google compared to my previous job (e-commerce with very thin operating margins) is that hardly anyone cared about potential revenue vs cost tradeoffs or monetization more broadly.

Vast majority of people are working on building some feature functionality or enhancing an underlying system infra for more scale or performance or such non-functional capability which they genuinely think will improve user experience and hence make users prefer to use their product more than anything else.

People didn't focus on business metrics (most people don't know what they are) – this was most disorienting for me. It took me sometime to understand the luxury provided by strong margin business that is google ads which allows you gloss over short-term inefficiencies while exploring new product spaces.

It is assumed monetization in the form of ads or subscription can be done if there is strong user engagement for the product and that revenue vs cost equation will work out. (If not, they kill it, which they do badly). Another culture at Google is people are openly critical of their product in very large internal discussion forums.
You can run it on multiple virtual machines from your laptop. Doing it this way you can run into an issue where docker doesn't work right due to multiple layers of virtualization depending on your setup and processor. You can avoid this by using containerd as the runtime instead of docker if you run into that issue.

I've thought before it would be interesting if there was a cloud mock Kubernetes service that returned command output with no backend for learning that was either cheap or free.

One way you can actually work with a setup like this is ChatGPT+ with gpt-4.

Ask it to pretend to be a Kubernetes cluster with the desired number of nodes and act as a Linux terminal prompt with access to the cluster, also please don't return any text except the command output. If I need to ask other questions outside of sending commands I'll put it in {}.

It helps if you also say thank you in the prompt. If it starts deviating say "please stay in character"

I've found this to be a handy way to simulate Linux boxes, Kubernetes clusters, Cisco routers, switches, all kinds of fun stuff.

One last thing I'll mention, learn a bit of terraform or another IaC tool and you can spin up the cluster and delete at will. I find terraform to be especially good for being able to create entire blocks of infrastructure and destroy them easily and thoroughly. Then when you're ready to work or done working you can bring the cluster up and down. You can shave a lot off the monthly cost this way.

Going back to gpt-4 again, there are good templates online - or you can have gpt-4 write the terraform for you describing what you want as well as have it explain the basics of using terraform.
I often think the same, in fact in my todo list is (in the background) think of more ways to reduce the bureaucracy I face on a daily basis, which takes many forms - from arguing with reviewer #2 over whether or not my finding is notable, to trying to convince a panel that my idea is worth funding.

From a system design perspective, alas resources are limited and have to be allocated somehow, and in the absence of any metrics at all as you suggest, it would ultimately come back to who can tell the better story about their work. This is still at best only weakly correlated with the actual quality of the work.

And so we run up against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Pournelle#Pournelle's_ir...

The situation could definitely be better than the current one, but alas I don't have any magic solution.

This sounds like a day here means "about 8 hours" as opposed to "the work performed during a given calendar day". Makes sense.

Personal opinion, it was a well done series, but trying to update the timing of the events to make it related to the post-2010 "arab spring" didn't do anything good for the story. The original story was a product of the time it was written, in a pre-smartphone, pre-widespread-internet use era.

No comparison. Bridge is a much much richer game than the basic 19th century trick taking games. The vast majority of complexity is on the bidding side of things, which simply don’t exist.

One example is traditional alchemy. Sometimes extremely smart people find an outlet for the intelligence and end up building enormous intellectual edifices for the sake of building them, irrespective of actual practical value. Cryptocurrencies are like a giant puzzle game where players solve problems designed by their own community.
Wow this discussion unlocked a long-lost memory: the Swedish "cash card" - a stored value card where you'd use a terminal to load money off your bank account onto the stored value card and then use it in participating stores. If you lost the card you lost the money. The fees to merchants were too high so it never gained any adoption, it looks like it only was available from 1997-2004. The Wikipedia references a German version, Geldkarte, which apparently had a renaissance when it could double as proof of age for tobacco vending machines...

https://sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_(betalsystem)

I'm also reminded of the magstripe stored value cards used by our public transit agency. These were trivial to rewrite, but since most people who tried this did it to save money on their commute rather than random joyriding, it was easy for the agency to reconcile the usage logs to find out where they went every day and wait for them at their station...

These days I think the main advantage to offline systems is performance. When you have a busy subway station in Tokyo with massive crowds passing through the gates, nothing beats the throughout of offline Felicia Suica cards. Their gates default to open and you walk through while swiping without stopping, the gates only close if there is a failure. Vs EMV-based systems like London where you have to stop and wait for the card reader
Sony has (or at least had; I haven't seen them try again for a while now) a long history of trying to push proprietary standards on everyone. They really seemed to think they could come up with some proprietary standard for something where other, more open, standards already existed, and people would somehow adopt theirs en masse.

It reminds me a lot of IBM when they introduced the PS/2 computers. They really, really thought that they could single-handedly kill all the PC "clones" by pushing their clunky, overpriced PC with a bunch of proprietary standards in it (namely the MCA bus). The people running these two companies had an extreme amount of arrogance and hubris.
You live in a US tech bubble. Nobody at my household, none of my friends (with one exception), and certainly no officee i've been to owns a macbook.

Fair enough I guess, re doxxing.

Crime exists, different crimes are committed by different groups. Saying those crimes are inherent, dor whatever reason, to certain groups is just a bad take. Those groups migjt be more prone to commit certain crimes due to circumstances, but than those circumstances need being further analyzed. And yes, property crimes, with an already frightingly low rate of successful police investigations, is easier for people being constantly on the move.

One thing that is also true: marginalized, discrimintaed and sidelined groups are more likely to commit crimes. So, one reason would be to offer alternatives, and as a society accept them as they are. Doesn't mean zero crime will be committed, but then again crime is a general problem that will never ever go away ever.
Part of the problem is that it isn't as fixed as you think it is, and varies internationally quite rapidly too.
Or you do it the French IIIème République way: you crush all linguistic diversity[0] from your country and standardize it all around the way it's spoken in London.

Also, in English there's so much detachment from spelling to pronunciation than even choosing to write it down like a random[1] dialect would be an improvement: the problem with English isn't so much about “long a” vs “short a”, it's about “through tough thorough thought, though”.

[0]: sure there's still some pronunciation differences between parts of France, but not much. And it has very little consequence on the spelling/pronunciation relationship.

[1]: in practice, it could be the most commonly spoken dialect, or the dialect that has the most pronunciation in common with others).
CRDT synthesis feels like a promising direction, e.g. see "Katara: Synthesizing CRDTs with Verified Lifting"/ https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.12425 / previous discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32977887
"the core parts of KolibriOS (kernel and drivers) are written entirely in FASM assembly language", that's amazing. Porting it to another architecture is likely a full rewrite.

In comparison, the Oberon System 3 (see e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20120630140329/http://www.ethobe...), which was written in the Oberon high-level language, also had a graphical user interface and network support and required 4MB RAM and 2MB disk space (see https://github.com/OberonSystem3/TheOberonCompanionCD/blob/m...).
It was the same thing with cryptography export regulations, other countries ended up developing alternatives.
It's worth mentioning that the next growth step doesn't have to be an agency. It could also be a co-operative or (an informal) collective. This avoids the overhead of having to manage employees while still allowing the distribution of work loads across multiple people and the outsourcing of non-core tasks to dedicated specialists (e.g. accounting, legal and invoicing).
It took 5 years until they stumbled on it, but I think ChatGPT is the fastest growing software in history.
Blood Meridian as "rewarding"? I do agree it is a jaw-droppingly well written book, but it is excruciating to read and experience. This is on a par with recommending Irreversible as more rewarding for French cinema if I put in the time. Please stop destroying young minds. /s

I didn't think to check their profile before since it's not a green account, but they have no comments in the past 67 days and now 2 posts in 12 hours promoting their AI video translation service before being active again. The writing style in all their other comments feels different. So I'm pretty confident now this is just chatgpt.
The US is literally doing for the Chinese foundry industry what nations often do to develop an advanced industry: force the local economy to use it so it has a revenue source and is protected from foreign competition, so it isn't snuffed out before it can really compete.
Off peak travel offers so much more value for money and health, I dont know my more don't do it, especially as the schools are shutting down.

How many parents are going to sign their kids up to online learning where a global curriculum is offered not some backward resource starved national curriculum designed to trap you in the country of your origin on the sold off council estate turned slave box estate?

Surely this will reduce the demands for peak time air travel and such articles as this because the imagination of our writers flew out of Stansted along time ago?

For certain data you can exhaust the space of values and thoroughly test that your parser validates only the correct datatypes, and if you can do that, then you can be fearless in your impl with those "fancy type systems" because you guarantee that within the context of the impl, the software is sound.

For me it's the extreme surveillance they have introduced. Every website activity you do hits google. Smartphones log everything to google. Look on google maps, you can see exactly where you were every day in the last 10 years. This whole infrastructure should just not exist.

Yes I know you can opt out of some of it but they make it as hard as they can and many things like google analytics just can't be opted out of.

But I edited the deeply evil part as I also thought it was too harsh :) It was only there for a minute so I'm surprised you saw it. I do really believe they made the world a much worse place though. And yes if they hadn't someone else would have (like Zuckerberg). But that doesn't forgive it.
I'm a fan of the various Jacques Pépin videos on youtube because they give a lot of advice on technique. There is an hour long one I cannot find right now that basically has almost everything you'll ever need in a video. And I like (also on youtube) Italia Squisita, because they nicely show what variations you can do, showing italian classics and their michelin-star version of it side by side.

> And for some reason, smartcard companies seem to be totally unable to devise user-friendly interfaces. It's been more than 30 years now so you might think they have had the time to think about it, but... no. I wish there was just a web standard for that with a standard browser-provided UI.

Browser development is driven from the US. Smartcards development is driven from Europe. I expect that the same frictions that happens in deployment of smartcards for banking also happens in the browsers world.

MONIAC was an analogue system which implemented a model - an approximation - of the UK economy. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MONIAC

> The MONIAC (Monetary National Income Analogue Computer), also known as the Phillips Hydraulic Computer and the Financephalograph, was created in 1949 by the New Zealand economist Bill Phillips to model the national economic processes of the United Kingdom, while Phillips was a student at the London School of Economics (LSE). The MONIAC was an analogue computer which used fluidic logic to model the workings of an economy. The MONIAC name may have been suggested by an association of money and ENIAC, an early electronic digital computer.
