Exactly. TSMC wasn’t bootstrapped. It’s okay to build products that require a large amount of capital to start. Many of them are very successful.

As for Elon Musk. Many had access to the labour pool that he did. Many tried to do what his companies did. His companies succeeded. Once could be chance, twice is skill. But to each their own.

That's if you can get a journal to publish your results, isn't it? I can imagine a reviewer recommending a strong reject on the grounds that a submission is already "well-known" by virtue of having a commercial pendant available. Reverse engineering is impressive, but alas provides no novelty.
Depending on your use case, you’re probably better served by 86Box though.
Qemu emulates a somewhat generic x86 pc (and MANY other architectures) with a generic vga/vesa card, while 86box focuses on emulating 8088-late 90s computers, actual devices included, which means you will have better driver support at the cost of speed (but why would you need a windows 3.1 setup to run faster than on a 333Mhz Pentium II? :) )

The bible of machinists everywhere is Machinery's Handbook[1]

I've got an old copy, but they tend to remain useful for generations, as the basics really don't change very often. When you've got to make a bevel gear, and all you have is involute cutters, they've got the formula and details to get an acceptable one-off.

If you're cutting an ACME thread, they've got it covered, etc.

If you want to see for yourself, you can borrow a copy from the Internet Archive[2]

I think it is a bad move for Android interoperability. Samsung has its own AirDrop. Oppo has its own AirDrop. I don't know about many others but its frustrating to not be able to use a feature, because you simply don't know other people with that brand.

Especially here in Germany the Smartphone market is dominated by Apple and Samsung, so good luck trying to successfully use Oppo Share.

I think it would be a better approach to implement these sorts of features natively and not force them into those dodgy reskins but rather incentive smartphone manufacturers into using them.
GPUs are much more architecturally diverse than CPUs so yes, that’s exactly the case that different codes are required for optimal performance on different hardware.
Impact of ChatGPT on Programming Education
[Survey Report] - Impact of ChatGPT on Programming Education
Agreed. This is one of the most well informed, across a vast spectrum of info, articles I've ever read. And.. in Wired? Unsurprisingly it seems this was a segment/paraphrasing from a book he wrote. Here [1] is his Wiki page, which includes published works and the like.

All that said, I think there's one big miss he made, and did not consider. While so much of what he said came true, I think many people would love to reset society back to 1997. And I don't think it's just because of the misses. It simply seems that economic prosperity is not increasing personal contentedness, which seems a much more meaningful metric than 'happiness'.

If anything contentedness and prosperity seem to run into conflict, beyond a certain point. Obviously an area in Africa with a genuinely high food insecurity rate needs more prosperity. But going from relatively rich, in terms of economy, as we were in 1997, to absurdly rich as we are today, does not seem to have brought the corresponding changes one would have expected. If anything, it seems that more prosperity just drives people to want even more, with all notions of contentedness collapsing.

---

Yeah, in searching on this topic I bumped into this. [2] Apparently $75k (2011) is peak 'happiness', though again what a myopic metric contrasted against contentedness. The odd thing is that it was $75k period. Whether in Bodunk where $75k means you're rich, or NYC where $75k means you're living far from comfortably. It was just $75k. There were no meaningful gains in measures of happiness beyond that magic number.

The two are not independent - it is not a dichotomy.

When I did undergrad level engineering math, I pretty much never had to memorize. Just solve a lot of problems, and it's ingrained in your head. It helped that I utilize that material all over engineering and physics courses. Even now, over a decade since solving problems, I can still recall most of it and use it if needed.

Once I got to upper and grad level math, the approach of simply understanding and solving problems failed me, because you are usually not provided enough problems compared to earlier courses. It may have been good enough for the course to get an A, but not good enough to retain the material beyond the course. I've studied complex variables (Cauchy Goursat, residues, etc) at least 3 times. It's always a breeze, and it's always forgotten soon after. The same with statistics. With the latter, what did finally help me was spaced repetition. Even though it's been a few years since I last reviewed/relearned statistics, I can still read some material involving it and understand it. This is entirely because of those flashcards.

Understanding definitely has to precede memorizing. Insisting that memorizing is a sign of poor understanding, however, is parochial thinking. It's simply not true for the majority of folks.
From a perspective of a normal user? Awful. Now suddenly you have to pay to TWEET? I don't believe people will take this lightly, especially with the shit X pulled recently.

From a perspective of a botter? Probably also awful, but 1$ per year is not something a person in possession of a huge botnet couldn't afford to pay. Especially if X will relax in the comfort of this subscription and ban less accounts. That would make 1$ p/y really rather cheap when you also account for basic computing costs.
I wonder if the lack of documentation is due to software being easier to write because of high-level languages.

Seriously this sounds completely normal and, if you’re keeping up with your studies this isn’t something you should feel bad about.

If you aren’t keeping up, I’d try working less on your productive days and see if you can spread out the work more evenly. Take more time for yourself. Exercise, sleep, eat, socialize.

One time I ended up at a lunch with some manager people from the local tv station. One of my friends was trying to sell him some tea and he asked that I attend his lunch event as a favor. It was interesting.

Another example more recently - I wanted to visit a tea factory and while I was there they asked if I could put on a uniform and pose for some photos for them.
I really liked Bandcamp, it was one of the easiest and most direct ways i could buy my music FROM the artists themselves. I sometimes would sit hours at my desk, listening to previews and buying what i found interesting enough. Certainly improved my taste.

Are you saying we should not have motorcycle races? I agree that motorcyclists and runners should probably not compete in the same race, but there can be a competition where participants try to code the solution and another competition where participants try to build a machine that can code the solution at the same time.
At least the Spanish integrated local folk beliefs into Catholicism instead of erasing them and calling out those beliefs as sacrilege and satanic to enforce compliance with the empire.

When I used to work at a bank, the staff at a branch that still used tubes at the drive through would complain about how hard they are to maintain. Apparently they were down to a single contractor in the whole county who knew how to fix them, and he was always threatening to retire soon.

Yes. role 1 can work. I am an "advisor" at a seed level startup. I like to believe that I am useful there. Engineering Team is in India, mostly young folks. They use my expertise for precisely the things you mentioned. code reviews, CI/CD suggestions, system design etc. I spent 3-4 hours on their system. The CEO is my close friend. so it works well so far. I have worked in Walmart, Yahoo etc. The juniors gain my experience of "working at scale"

It's definitely an interesting way of thinking about it. It makes the "how much data is currently in the queue" question much more interesting.

I don't know why you're jumping to nuclear weapons as your analogy when gun control laws in other countries make a far better comparison point. Australia is probably a good example here: they have urban and suburban centres in the cities, but they also have vast rural areas. Guns are not banned but limited and regulated. They do not seem to have had this issue where people have been left defenceless by crazy people with guns.

In fact, are there any countries that have implemented gun controls that have had this problem?

The inevitability of human self destruction is always in the background waiting to consume the planet in the name of progress and ideology.

Egged on by the manipulative one sided media reporting. Generating fear in the masses while at the same time never speaking the truth to the people.

I have seen the decline of our freedoms in the last 60 years and the slow creation of that inner anger, seething and gnawing away at any sense of meaning as to what being human actually is. A breeding ground for the destruction of, and lack of care of, our fellow human beings.

The majority of the worlds population are uneducated, easily manipulated, hungry and desperate, dissociated from the suffering and trauma they endure, will be cheering on the powerful as his or her hand hovers above the button of doom.

The fundamental problem with GoF research is that the virology community has shown that it's not trustworthy enough to be working with things that are this dangerous.

In China, there has been almost a complete information blackout after COVID. Most of what we know that points to a leak that actually comes from China has been accidentally disclosed or was published before the pandemic.

In the U.S. and Europe, it's sadly largely the same story. We now know through FOIA requests that the authors of the pivotal Proximal Origin thought privately that there was a significant likelihood that SARS2 was lab derived, but what they published was that "we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible." They also sought to conceal some of the true authors of the paper in order for it to appear more independent and credible. They, and their colleagues then relentlessly smeared and called conspiracy theorists, anyone who publicly said the very same things that they said privately to each other.

EcoHealth and DARPA refused to provide a copy of the DEFUSE grant proposal. It ultimately had to be leaked by an anonymous source in the government. When it finally came out it ended up being more or less a direct blueprint for how you'd create SARS2 from existing bat viruses, and it was submitted just a year before the outbreak started in Wuhan. One of the collaborators on that project was to have been the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Throughout, (and there is much more), not a single person who has brought any of this to light has been a virologist. Some have been biologists in other fields, some have been outside the scientific establishment entirely.

Being responsible for an animal that harbors a virus that could kill 10,000,000 people or more if you make a mistake is an awesome responsibility, and only people of the utmost integrity can be trusted with something that dangerous. What we've seen is that sadly, nowhere near this level of integrity exists in the virology community.

It's not that simple!

To begin with, sizeof has two syntaxes: the first, which is the one you seem to refer to, is simply

sizeof expression

where expression involves variables and constants, not types. The second is

sizeof (type)

where the parentheses are mandatory.

Then, even in the first syntax, even if sizeof is listed among the operators, even if it doesn't look any different from "pointer operator ", nonetheless it has strange priority rules. For example

sizeof (T) *x

If it was a regular prefix operator obeying priority and right-to-left evaluation, this would mean: dereference x, cast it to T, and return its size. Instead the C standard forces the compiler to interpret it as: take the size of type T and multiply it by x.
This is pretty much entrapment.

Right, that's my point; from my amateur perspective, if it was illegal to grab YT videos without displaying ads, then it would be equally illegal to, say, show a blog post while not displaying the ads it tried to include. And since ad blockers are, AIUI, completely legal, it would seem to follow that it's also legal to download YT videos and play them without playing ads. (Of course, IANAL so maybe there's some angle I'm missing)
