This is kind of the crux of the issue. Alpha came out with great performance (but pretty expensive) in general but some issues related to performance of Unix and strings.

They killed the MIPS/Ultrix line but gave people no path to move to Alpha/Ultrix. Ultrix was never ported to Alpha. Only Alpha/OSF1 so a fundamental hardware and software shift.

Its easier to go to SPARC/SunOS or SPARC/Solaris and they had lots of machines from cheaper to more expensive. For schools they often bought the slightly cheaper workstations.

Alpha 64bit wasn't really a hugely important feature that point in time. This again where starting with 32-bit PRISM would have been a better move.

At the same time, their VAX line was still not Alpha, they bet on NVAX for quite a long time. So the VMS crowed didn't need to switch to Alpha.

DEC wanted to make Alpha an industry standard but then they had little interest in working with Apple to get volume. The big workstation/server vendors had their own ISAs and since DEC also wanted to compete in those market simply adopting a new standard from DEC was just not gone happen. And as a new standard for lower priced machines it just not gone happen, 64-bit was totally wrong for markets like that and you would need Windows/Intel to even have a shot at that. It was also not good for embedded so DEC went with StrongARM.

DEC just made really bad strategy choices starting in late 1988s. By 1986 they had started the VAX9000 project. That might be fine but by 1988 you have to realize that project was dead and simply kill it, and rush out VAX based on PRISM with nice high quality VMS port.
Does MTV still show music?

I would expect a smaller repertoire considering audiovisual production is a lot more expensive than just audio.

"kill millions of birds."

They do, but ... maybe have some perspective:

"Merriman concludes that 1.17 million birds are killed by wind turbines in the US each year.

This is a lot of birds, but it is only 0.016% of the estimated 7.2 billion birds that live in the US. It is also significantly less than the 5–6.8 million killed each year by communication towers, the 60–80 million killed by automobiles, the 67–90 million killed by pesticides, or the 365 million to one billion killed by cats each year in the US, according to a study published in Nature."

https://www.energymonitor.ai/renewables/weekly-data-how-many...

So if you want to protect birds, you can do something about cats.
Is that really down to the medium? I thought rights issues of music videos meant they preferred cheap content they totally owned. I.e. Beavis and Butthead couldn't release complete DVDs with videos implying MTV was excluded from revenue streams until they made non-music video shows.
Windows supports much richer remote access than anything built on X. I can log in using standard graphical login, my keyboard layouts carry over, audio is transparently handled, the screen size isn't tied to the existence of a remote monitor and 3d acceleration just works. And all that works out of the box with no setup necessary other than enabling it.

On Linux, the only workflow I could get working was to use x11vnc to control an existing local session. To log in, I have to run x11vnc as root, pass it some magic cookie (I have no idea what that is still, but some magic incantation from SO did the trick), then once I log in, the running x11vnc dies, and I have to restart it as a regular user to control the session I just authenticated.
Ha, I finally figured out how "this" works and then they changed it with arrow functions.
Just another random suggestion which could be astray... Is the port issue you're having with the 1TB expansion card, or is the SSD issue which you describe a separate issue, i.e. with the internal SSD?

If you're having an issue with the 1TB expansion card disconnecting, it could be this:
https://guides.frame.work/Guide/1TB+Expansion+Card+Throttlin...

As one extra piece of anecdata, I haven't had any issues with the ports either, though I have had the expansion card issue.

Just in case anyone is wondering about their support, Frame.work were very good about offering to fix the expansion card issue, and my fan-scraping-noise issue, both for no cost. Unfortunately I am in a country they don't sell to yet so they can't help me yet. They did say that if they later expand to offer sales here, they would still offer a fix, even though outside of the warranty period.
Whatever happened to Couchsurfing, it ain't good. I log in to my account, and I'm greeted with an option between two ways to send them money.

Why do you keep saying "fractional share"? All shares are fractions. You sound like a moron.
I'm more referring to the fact that stuff like PowerPoint and Minecraft and who knows what are Turing-complete, albeit with awful performance.

Theoretically, you can have a totally owned device managed by Big Brother, yet generate AI smut with a general purpose CPU built in PowerPoint.

How do you possibly regulate that?
Surely this opens a door where, because an agent is unlikely to reproduce work verbatim but rather in a more compressed or decompressed wording, humans are held to a different standard? Otherwise humans would remain an effective way to launder the output of the agent.

>victimless crime on it's own

Seems reasonable for something like weed, but for "hard" drugs like meth there's clearly a negative externalitiy imposed on the community from your unstable behavior.

These things are awfully loud. I personally also find them ugly, bit to each their own on that. But the noise, i genuinely think it is probably unhealthy to live near Wind turbines.

Edit since I just remembered - I think they are also very disruptive for the ecosystem depending on where they are built.
Absolutely, the state prerogative is to presume excellence. That doesn't mean we need to take this attitude at face value as rational humans.
I read the same article and connected with it, not anti tech, but pro human! Rock and Roll was a revolution, a break from the conservative norms, a rebellion of sexual expressive energy that came with a musical style! Let’s not loose that spirit for digital drab which I feel is what the author was addressing.
We still use Meetup for our functional programming meetup that's been going on for about a decade, but I gotta say as an organizer, it's a very buggy piece of software.

Editing an event never goes smoothly, it pretty much always eats half of your edits, etc.

It's also not exactly free. But it's risky to try to move a large group onto some new platform, so here we are.

> If you have never heard of Bernstein, this may look like mad ramblings of a proto-Unabomber railing against THE MAN trying to oppress us.

> However, this man is one of the foremost cryptographers in the world […]

It's possible to be both (not saying Bernstein is).

Plenty of smart folks have 'jumped the shark' intellectually: Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, was very talented in mathematics before he went off the deep end.
I do know a few cryptographers who were suspicious of SHA-3 when it came out, but after some napkin math and no obvious hole was found, they were fine with it. The actual goal of that extra padding was to get extra one bits in the input to avoid possible pathological cases.

My understanding of the Dual-EC problem may be different than yours. As I understand it, the construction is such that if you choose the two constants randomly, it's fine, but if you derived them from a known secret, the output was predictable for anyone who knows the secret. The NIST did not provide proof that the constants used were chosen randomly.

Random choice would be equivalent to encrypting with a public key corresponding to an unknown private key, while the current situation has some doubt about whether the private key is known or not.
Always thought it'd be cool if there was some economic simulation game (simcity, city skylines, etc.) that was tied to real life commodity markets.
That's an argument that would prove too much. If you believe NSA can corrupt academic cryptographers, then you might as well give up on all of cryptography; whatever construction you settle on as trustworthy, they could have sabotaged through the authors. Who's to say they didn't do that to Bernstein directly? If I'd been suborned by NSA, I'd be writing posts like this too!
Did you ever use the site? It was like a handshake agreement situation where you had no idea how full of shit the posts were. If people weren't outright lying, they could (very well) be experiencing wish fulfillment or placebo. Many of the "negative" experiences were similar - describing reactions that were frankly hard to believe. Posts tended towards fictional exaggeration. Further, many users were anonymous, pseudonymous, lying about identity, or posting in a time when many believed no one would be probing through the internet trying to identify folks.

tl;dr - I seriously doubt any of the users wants to be identified, much less compensated for providing "data".
Cripes what is going on with orange juice.. there’s some seasonal patterns in the last 25 years, but the last year has just kept climbing.
I find it ironic that the author mentions how much better watching Pink Floyd at Pompeii is better.

Yeah I agree, it will make prices stay flat for a few years, but I highly doubt there will be a massive decrease in construction cost unless we see another 2008 style economic crisis. Although, labor shortages in the construction industry might make still allow prices to stay high.
Yes, I've also used the proprioception explanation, terminology and all. It felt a little obscure here, so I spelled it out. We must have extremely similar experiences.

I'm curious: have you noticed any effect on your memory? My autobiographical memory is poor--I remember facts about what I've experienced, but I struggle to recall the experiences themselves. I can't "mentally time travel" back to a moment to recall what it was like to be there or note new details about those recollections. I only retain whatever I notice at the time, and in a disconnected fashion as if I were remembering an incident in a book or movie.

I've read that people with similar deficiencies (such as SDAM) frequently also report aphantasia. I've often wondered if the ability to visualize might play a major role in encoding and recalling our experiences.

Some artists are there just to play some great music, and some of them are there to put on a show. There are some artists that I don't really listen to day to day, but that I would love to see live because they are known for their live acts. In fact, there are some musical acts that simply don't translate to recordings, check out Itchy-O for another example.

There's room for both.
TPUs are amazing for Stable Diffusion.

We've been doing training (Dreambooth) and inference on TPUs since the beginning of the year at https://dreamlook.ai.

Not sure why you say windows not doing OS/2 is so great?

OS/2 was a reasonable good OS and a history based on OS/2 rather then Windows 95 and friends seems to be a pretty good path forward.

And OS/2 being Microsoft and IBM would have made Microsoft not quite as powerful and dominate.

DEC was sold for around 10 billion, just a few years later Altavista alone was sold for around 2 billion.

And Altavista was valued basically 0 in the Compaq acquisition. Compaq seem to really only value the Services division, everything else they didn't care about.
> It is not close. Which is what I think most people would predict - that it was not even close.

With the caveat that drug offenses include manufacturing, trafficking, and sales:

Your data is consistent with my claim: I meant the denominator being the prison population, not the entire population. Sweden has about 8600 people in prison so about 37% of their prison population is in there for "drug offenses", whereas in the United States it's less than 1 in 5 per your Prison Policy citation. Obviously if you treat entire population as the denominator, then any comparison of Swedish and American prisons is useless because we incarcerate a much larger percent of the population.

Edit: I realize my original comment said "people" not "proportion of people", but in my defense interpreting it to be people literally is a bit absurd. Sweden's population is about 30x smaller than the United States, so there's no way the counts are comparable!

Edit 2: Actually no I did say “As a percentage”. Whew.

Next, you can see from this sample of federal prison (table on page 2): though drug offenses were the most serious charge for half of prisoners, only 0.1% was for possession. The rest was for trafficking and sales. https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/dofp12.pdf

This data is from 2010, and the United States has undergone a decriminalization revolution since regarding possession, so new prosecutions are even less likely to be possession claims.

I'd better never have you watch my property, if you think there's no obligation at all to defend things.

There’s an interesting case study here. Most Indian pop music comes from movies so nearly every popular song comes with a music video at no cost. It would be interesting to see what the breakdown of people who watch the music videos vs only listen to audio is.
I’m unclear why you’re double quoting this. How is wind energy not renewable? Solar? Both can be refurbished at the end of their usable life spans.

Thorium and other nuclear energy processes get plenty of news, and certainly on HN. But the problem is the regulatory landscape makes it neigh impossible in the US at least. Thorium also doesn’t have a lot of practical research behind it. AFAIK there are only reactors in India still operating with some in the EU next year (iirc). However “renewables” are commercially practical right now, which is probably where the commercial interest and nose pulling comes from. It’s hard to have a commercial interest in something that’s not practical to deploy in the present.

Roei the CTO here :) During onboarding we preliminarily index some data about your microservice architecture so we have some "common language" with your Datadog instance. Couple that with run-of-the-mill distributed tracing deployed at the user's end, and our moose can start querying/reasoning about multi-service transactions, and/or at the finer granularity of individual requests and log lines.

The state does not like those drugs because society does not like those drugs, and in the case of certain drugs, like heroin and other harder drugs we have decided that it is rational to attempt to keep them off the streets rather than agree to legal use.

I didn’t get to really explore the GAN generation of ML work particularly well since I had no supported hardware (no desire to support the nVidia monopoly on ML work) and refused to blow money on cloud instances I’d probably forget at some point and wind up with a giant bill.

It’s a really different world now I’ve got massive models running on my laptop thanks to Apple Silicon and the unified memory architecture, and the c++ ports of various diffusion image models and several families of large language text models work well on my AMD gpu too… it’s so much easier to participate in the current generation of applied ML work without having to go out of my way to have specific ML supported hardware.

From what I’ve read from some security researchers, glibc is not really focused on security. For example, it contains CPU-specific manually crafted assembly for optimization purposes, and its memory allocator implements exploitation-friendly features such as thread caches. I’m not surprised by this vulnerability, and I suspect there are many similar ones that haven’t been discovered yet.

musl (used by default on Alpine and Chimera Linux) and the BSD libc’s on the other hand are much more minimal and conservative.
